The runway that took seven corners

A chronicle of the first edition: a runway that crossed the pedestrian crossings of downtown Córdoba, without asking permission.

A figure walks down the street in a costume of long white spikes, trailing a printed train.

At four in the afternoon that Saturday, the corner of the Fountain of Forgiveness stopped being a place to walk through. The models began to appear from Diagonal General Eugenio Garzón and crossed, one by one, the pedestrian crossings around the fountain. The traffic lights set the rhythm.

The streets are ours too.

There was no stage and no barriers. There were seven corners, a DJ on the stone steps, and people who had come out to do their shopping and stayed to watch.

Onlookers standing and sitting in folding chairs watch the show.
The audience that had not come to see a runway show.

The garments came from ten local brands that work with what others discard. Several of the people who walked also carried a handwritten sign: the name of the brand they were wearing, or a slogan.
