Window of Martin Churba's Tramando showroom in Buenos Aires

This week's Tramando Nights showcased BA designer Martin Churba's designs for the masses.

On July 12 and 13, renowned Argentine designer Martin Churba hosted Tramando Nights, a sample sale of sorts sponsored by L’Oreal and Chandon, in his gorgeous Recoleta showroom.  Guests sipped champagne, received complimentary makeovers, and tried on deeply discounted pieces from past Tramando collections.

Churba, who considers himself a textile designer above all, creates pieces that are completely unique yet manage to retain an undeniably edgy elegance. More than simple garments, his designs are true avant garde works of art.

The quality workmanship of each piece is evident in the intricately woven rubber material that the designer utilizes in the creation of his collections. The result is structured clothing that is eye-catching but still flattering, highlighting the wearer’s best features and making her truly stand out in a crowd. Located at Rodriguez Pena 1973, Tramando recently celebrated its 7th anniversary.
