Fashion Bloggers From Uruguay To Follow On Instagram

Across the river from South America’s fashion powerhouse, Buenos Aires, Uruguay’s capital Montevideo is still emerging as a hotspot for designers, models and bloggers. With sustainable fashion gaining ground and Montevideo Fashion Week making its mark on the international calendar, the country has seen a boom of fashionistas keen to spread the word. Here are the top fashion bloggers from Uruguay to keep your eye on.

Monica Zanocchi

One of Uruguay’s la moda pioneers, Monica Zanocchi is a well-known face on the international fashion circuit. Almost a decade after she established Blog Couture in 2007, Mirada Couture burst onto the scene – a patriotic collection of trends, designers and lifestyle tips. Zanocchi has been spotted at Paris, Milan and Montevideo Fashion Weeks, and covers everything from Chanel haute couture to classic Spanish dressing.

Sofía Bauzá Saavedra

After Sofía Bauzá Saavedra had her column censored in a blog she was writing for, she set up her own platform to get the word out about fashion in Uruguay. Her blog, Rubia Mala, is co-run by Buenos Aires-based Belén Amorosi and focuses on ‘cool hunting’, or catching trends, in the streets of the Río Platense region. Bold and brash, their colourful feed highlights the fun side of South American fashion.
