The most renowned and emblematic spaces in thethe Cityhave come together to promote their activities and create a world-class luxury circuit. IntroducingBAFA District, a fashion and art tour in the heart of Recoleta neighborhood.
The new heart of Buenos Aires fashion
BAFA District, known as the first fashion district inBuenos AiresandLatin America, aims to position itself as a regional icon, comparable to Milan’s fashion quadrilateral.
This exclusive space encompasses more than three hundred luxury shops in an area that extends from La Recova to Avenida Pueyrredón, including Avenida del Libertador, and the aforementioned Avenida Alvear, Avenida Quintana y Posadas..
Its comprehensive offering combines fashion, art, gastronomy, hospitality and jewellery, establishing itself as a key destination for both tourists and locals seeking quality experiences in an ideal setting.
An elegant setting
The Avenida Alvear stretches across seven blocks in the Recoleta neighborhood and has been the chosen site for some of the city's most emblematic palaces since 1880, most of them inspired by Parisian architecture. Its path extends from Plazoleta Carlos Pellegrini to the monument of Torcuato de Alvear, the man who gave it its name.
Even today, you can admire architectural gems such as Palacio Pereda (residence of the Brazilian ambassador), Palacio Ortiz Basualdo (home to the French embassy), the mansion of Concepción Unzué de Casares (now the Jockey Club), Palacio Álzaga Unzué (now the Four Seasons Hotel), and Residencia Duhau (part of the Park Hyatt Hotel). These constructions reflect the strong influence of French academicism.
The iconic beauty of this Parisian-inspired corner of Buenos Aires led to the creation of BAFA, the district that brings together the most ostentatious brands that attract tourists and locals.
The Avenida Alvear is undoubtedly an icon of Buenos Aires, and the most representative of Recoleta. Its distinctive charm and elegance shine through its tree-lined streets, grand mansions, and stately residences. The avenue has an energy and brilliance reminiscent of Corso Venezia in Milan or Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris.
Immerse yourself in the experience
The project is presented as a "district of experiences", as it not only offers a wide range of shopping and services but also boasts a rich annual calendar of events.
The goal is to enhance the area's rich cultural and commercial offerings through activations and experiences linked to aesthetics, artistic and culinary expression, lifestyle, and the creative industries.
