The province of Mendoza is preparing to host Diseñoteca 2024, the first federal exhibition of sustainable design in Argentina, consolidating itself as the epicenter of ethical and responsible fashion in the country. From September 18 to 21, designers from all Argentine provinces will meet at the Julio Le Parc Cultural Space to exhibit their creations and share their vision of a more environmentally friendly fashion industry.
This unprecedented event seeks to give visibility to local talent and promote a paradigm shift in the way we dress. The Design Library will be a unique opportunity to learn about the latest trends in sustainable design, from garments made with recycled materials to accessories and decorative objects created with artisanal and planet-friendly techniques.
The exhibition, which will have the participation of representatives from all over the country, is presented as a meeting and exchange space for designers, entrepreneurs, students and the general public interested in conscious fashion. In addition to the product installment, the Diseñoteca will offer talks, workshops and activities that invite us to reflect on the impact of our consumption choices and discover more sustainable alternatives.
In addition, sustainable design will be expressed in all its forms. Visitors can admire the clothing of Palo Azúl by Florence Fiorini, Cuarto Colorado by Marianela Balbi and Atletica by Mariana Bonanni. Textiles by Franca Textiles and Alkimia Textiles, jewellery by Melisa Guevara and designs by Leonor Mercedes del Carmen Murua will also be on display. In addition, María Laura Aguero Reynoso will present her Aymara brand.
If you're in Mendoza or plan to visit the province in September, don't miss out on the opportunity to be a part of this event. For more information about the Design Library and its programming, visit its official website: https://www.disenoteca.ar/
