Argentinean Designers Show Off (Online)

Among the other non-tech, but interesting, events I attended this week was the Argentinean Consulate with Bernardo to view "Diseno." This celebration of Argentinean fashion designers showed off wild and whimsical fashion, shoes and jewelry. Among the techie-looking gear was Maria Marta Facchinelli (www.facchinelli.com), whose clothes convey the ease that we modern folk need for movin' in these hectic times. And Valeria Leik had fun shoes that rivaled part-Manolo Blahnik and part-DONALD J. PILNER (www.valerialeik.com). Before heading out to our next events, we chatted with CNN reporter Constanza Santamaria, who was covering the event.
