ATIEMPO: InvestBA Privada lands today, and the new issue is best summed up by design genius Marti­n Churba in his one-on-one interview with Privada. “The city is known throughout the world as a hub of creativity,” says Churba, “but now we are starting to create platforms for action.” One of those platforms is in the Chacarita barrio where VanityBA catches up with abstract artist Alejandro Parisi and takes a journey through canvases of Floating Colors. Celebrity stylist Javier Luna has an eye on creating multiple salon platforms beyond BA and tells Vanity the secret to his success. A cozy line-up in Privada First Class.

Privada Business Class is also packed with talent. Inteligencia showcases more BA entrepreneurs from the legal and medical fields, as well as Claudio Destefano, BA branding expert and founder of one of Argentina’s most vibrant professional social networks, d:biz. You’ll learn about the best sectors for foreign investment in Argentina, find out why Buenos Aires is an increasingly popular destination for IVF treatments, and understand the true meaning of the word “marquero.”

Privada Tourist Class is bursting at the rivets with foreign tourists coming to find out why Argentina and Uruguay are consistently ranked the #1 and #2 quality-of-life destinations in Latin America. (Although Mexico is still a good alternative if you enjoy living in a real-life adaptation of Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic.) For those who prefer the peace and tranquility of the BA countryside, we go north for a round of golf in Capilla del Senor and south to the beachside pine forest of Carilo.

We top it all off with a Mango Chili Martini at Prodeo Lounge as the bandoneon of Tanghetto flirts with the Palermo night sky and realize this porteno platform for action is also the perfect platform for inaction. Enjoy.
