Images from Saturday night's Fashion show by American performance artist Tranqui Yanqui. He creates illustrations, objects and clothes mixing up iconography of hip-hop culture, Uncle Sam, fileteado among other influences. Tranqui is, as he describes it on his website:
Un pibe gringo de Miami, que hace algunos performances aca en la ciudad de Buenos Aires.

Provocando preguntas, confusión, y curiosidad. Yo soy parte de mi arte; que incluye tambien el fashion, el dibujo, la pintura, el quilombo.

We have some friends in common and in addition to that, my boyfriend was one of the models in the show. For more images, my friend Beatrice has a set of photos up on Flickr.
