Galerías Pacífico

Galerías Pacífico Review

Upscale shops line the three levels of this beautiful building, designed during the city's turn-of-the-20th-century golden age. Stores are organized along four glass-roofed passages, which branch out in a cross from the central stairwell; the cupola above it is decorated by five Argentine greats such as muralist Antonio Berni. Top local, polo-inspired, menswear brands Etiqueta Negra and La Martina have large stores, while Ona Saez, Tucci, and Vitamina's collections are aimed at younger women. Check out Janet Wise and Claudia Larreta for more sophisticated looks among international brands such as Christian Lacroix. While the basement houses a bustling food court, head up to the second floor and the Centro Cultural Borges for tango shows: small international art exhibitions have featured Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí, and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
