Alto Rosario Fashion Blogger

La semana pasada, el shopping Alto Rosario (de la cadena de Alto Palermo y compañía) lanzó un concurso denominado 'Alto Rosario Fashion Blogger'. La consigna era escribir un ensayo de hasta 3000 caracteres sobre la moda urbana de la mujer que visita Alto Rosario, acompañado de una fotografía pertinente, y yo decidí subir mi creación inspirada en el estereotipo de una típica fashionista, adaptandola a la vida dentro del shopping.

De entre bastantes concursantes, resulté ser una de las 5 finalistas y el día de hoy se realizó una jornada en la que nos filmaron y fotografiaron y los jueces nos conocieron personalmente y charlaron con cada una de nosotras durante un rato. Lamentablemente, no gané pero me llevé unos lindos regalitos de Melocotón y Ricky Sarkany junto a flores, y la genial experiencia del día. Seguramente pronto les comparta el video resultante del día de hoy.

El premio del concurso era pase a Backstage y cobertura de Estilo Rosario (el BAF local), una órden de compra y traslado, estadía y pase completo al BAF Otoño/Invierno '13, mas una serie de entrevistas gráficas y radiales. Digamos que perder no es lo mas lindo, pero fue un día tan lindo y toda la gente del shopping nos trató tan bien, mimandonos con Starbucks y regalitos, asi que realmente valió la pena.

Un aplauso para Celina, la ganadora, y saludos a las demás finalistas: Mariana, Bianca y Carmen.

Last week, Alto Rosario (a local shopping mall located all over the country) launched a contest named 'Alto Rosario Fashion Blogger', looking for someone to become their own blogger and social media expert. All you had to do to participate is to write an essay about the urban fashion and trends of the women who buy in their stores, and upload a photo that illustrated what you wrote, so I decided to upload something and test my luck, inspired in the stereotype of a fashionista, adapting it to the experiencie that the hole mall provides.

I turned up to be one of the five finalist out of around a hundred applications and today we spent the morning shooting a video and some photos for the video that will be played in next week's events. We got to meet the judges personally and talk to them for a while and later the winner was announced. I saldy didn't win but I came home with an invitation to next week's fashion shows, flowers and some presents from two stores you can fin at the mall. I'm sure in a few days, they'll release the official video and I'll show how it was.

The prices were a backstage and VIP pass to Estilo Rosario (The closest to a local Fashion week that we have), a gift card to use at the mall and an all inclusive experience for Buenos Aires Fashion Week in March, 2013. Let's say that loosing is not the best but we had a great time and everybody spoilt us with Starbucks and presents, so it was totally worth it.

My congratulations for Celina, the winner, and greetings for my fellow finalists: Mariana, Bianca y Carmen.
