BUENOS AIRES IS CALLING TEAM LEADER:MARISA CABRERA

Before she could remember, Marisa has always possessed a loving relationship with art and fashion. From the tender age of five her parents encouraged her to take lessons in painting. “I use to draw portraits and experiment with different materials”, Marisa explains. “I soon left and instead I enrolled myself to knitting classes”. Since graduating from the Universidad of Buenos Aires, holding a degree in Graphic Design; Marisa has dabbled into Fashion. “During my free time I use to organise fashion shows [Buenos Aires Fashion Week and Elle Argentina] for a town I was living in”, which eventually directed her to complete a course in Fashion Production and Styling. She was later discovered by a famous stylist from Argentina, who offered to work with her as an assistant for an Argentinean magazine called Para Ti. Soon after she was called to organise a shoot, it was an opportunity she had to accept: “I was touching heaven with my hands…every girl who loves fashion in Latin America wants to work with Para Ti”, she says. Besides teaching Fashion Styling and Fashion History at the Institute Mariano Moreno; Marisa has launched herself into the world of freelance for various magazines, fashion campaigns and advertising and not to mention fashion shows. Marisa says she loves the idea of being around creative people from all over the world and what better way to do it?
