In BIENALSUR, Buenos Aires, the Brazilian designer presented the result of a challenging proposal to four young Argentine designers who, in only 24 hours, transformed a white dress of his own creation into an artistic “fabric”. The process, which was recorded live, and the parade of the 30 pieces created by Fraga were accompanied by singer Charo Bogarín, the great-granddaughter of a Guaraní chief and one of the major referents of the new Argentine folk music.
