Meanwhile, for wine lovers, the Franco-Argentine guest Emiliano Strático, sommelier and professor at the Bordeaux Wine School in France, will give an exclusive master class on wine and chocolate pairings. Additionally, within the Niñez Codeland space, there will be chocolate workshops for the little ones.
Innovative chocolate dresses made by renowned designers:
For the first time in Argentina, 100 % chocolate-colored dresses were created by two renowned fashion designers, Verónica de La Canal and Luis Palacios.
To pay tribute to Paco Rabanne, the French-Spanish designer who passed away earlier this year, Verónica de La Canal, the first Argentine designer in history to present her collection at Galeries Lafayette in Paris, master José Luis Elías, and the historic chocolate factory Fénix participated in an iconic dress of his authorship.
For his part, Luis Palacios - winner of the reality show Corte y Confección - impressed with two dresses: in collaboration with master chocolatiers Matías Dragún and Nestor Reggiani from the Pampa team and the colors of the Fleibor laboratory, he worked on the OSO PAMPA, a dress that evokes our childhood; and a second piece alongside the famous duo of chocolatiers Yanina Bloch and Emanuel Altuna, who designed a piece with a playful 3D effect throughout the dress, representing checkmate, the ultimate move on the chessboard.
