In one of its tours around the big cities of the globe, the Spanish version of “V Magazine” arrived in Buenos Aires. “V Magazine,” the little sister of the cult project “Visionaire,” is a magazine dedicate to fashion, art, music, film, architecture and many more, all from an impeccable and very avant garde view.

Juan Gatti (photgraphy director of Almodovar’s films, photographer for “Vogue,” Loewe, Zara, and many others first class brands) was in charge of the shooting, and Civiles was responsible for the complete super production – as usually are the productions of this publication.

Models were mostly from Civiles, but there were also some top models from fellow agencies.

Our model Flor Cortés and K Management’s model Eduardo Braun are the new faces of Giesso’s winter 2011 campaign. The pictures were taken by the well-known PH Nacho Ricci. Giesso’s creations are a synonym of elegance in the national fashion world since the Genevese milliner Bonifacio Giesso settled in our country in 1884. For this season, they highlighted classic lines and the warm textures of fabrics along with its European glamour and their traditional care for details.

Positioned in the whole world as one of the favorite advertising production destinies, Argentina offers a great many possibilities of casting, services, and locations.

Our alma-mater Magdalena Diehl suggests, through her website www.magdalenadiehl.com, a trip around the most genuine weathers of the country. An original journey to travel without leaving the couch, but that will leave you wanting to pick Argentina for your next production.

The always expanding production area of Civiles was chosen by Maggio & Rosseto
to realize their graphic campaign with our top model Mía Flores Pirán as the label’s image.

The campaign’s production team was formed by the photographer Pato Battellini, the stylist Vicky Malibú and the art direction of Gabriel Pardo. A very civil team, with a result even better than the expected that has relaunched the traditional brand of footwear and accessories with a modern and fashionable concept.

From July 15th until July 22nd will be held, in Bariloche Panamericano Hotel, the fifth edition of MAD Patagonia, the event that brings together in the same place and at the same moment, the best professionals of fashion, art and design from the south of Argentina.
