In Argentina there are 125 shopping centers, however, according to a survey by the NGO AnyBody Argentina, 6 out of 10 people report having problems finding clothes in their size. Diversa is a response to all the spaces that have excluded people outside the normative sizes.

Diverse Fair is an event that celebrates clothing and footwear ventures that bet on the diversity of sizes.

It has been held since 2018 and is a space designed so that those who come can enjoy (sometimes for the first time) a positive shopping experience.

At Diversa there are clothes for everyone and that is why it is often called "diversity shopping."

Those who leave empty-handed do so because they did not find something that aligned with their tastes and interests, but never with the feeling of having the wrong body that must be modified in order to get dressed.

Diversa Fair has a social and political role:

●Only Argentine industry ventures and own manufacturing participate.

●All undertakings must have a curve of at least 5 sizes, exceeding 130 cm bust in upper garments and 140 cm hips in lower garments.

●Priority is given to enterprises of people who belong to vulnerable groups.

99% of the participating brands are managed by women, people of sexual diversity and from low-income neighborhoods.
