The Buenos Aires Fashion Week (BAFWeek) is Argentina's most important fashion event, held at La Rural Fairgrounds, Buenos Aires. It takes place each February (for fall/winter collections) and August (for spring/summer collections).
BAFWeek is a good chance for both national and international designers to display their collections. It was first held in 2001, and lasts four days. It features daily fashion shows, and around 30 showrooms where designers showcase their creations in an exclusive space, including accessories, shoes, bags, jewels, underwear, and men's and women's clothes. BAFWeek supports University of Buenos Aires (UBA) fashion students through the Seed Plot contest, so they can show their first collection together with the famous designers.
Some famous designers that displayed their collections in BAFWeek include: Prüne, Sarkany, Cook, Puma AG, Wanama, Rapsodia,
