Multiple
Founded in Buenos Aires in 1992 by designers Cynthia Kern and Daniela Magnano with publicist Federico Bonomi, starting with $600 in capital selling clothes to friends before building a denim-driven label.
Best for Argentine womenswear and denim
Kosiuko was founded in Buenos Aires in 1992, during Argentina's convertibility era, by designers Cynthia Kern and Daniela Magnano together with publicist Federico Bonomi, who started the business with roughly 600 US dollars in initial capital. The founding took place during the peso-dollar convertibility plan of the early 1990s, a period of currency stability that preceded Argentina's later economic crises. The trio began by making clothing to sell among friends before formalizing the company; it was legally registered in 1993 under the name Kowzef, with the Kosiuko brand name adopted the same year. The label built its identity around denim and became a reference point in Buenos Aires women's fashion, known for close attention to fabric quality and design detail. Kosiuko has since expanded into menswear and grown into a national Argentine brand with a presence across multiple cities, while keeping its original focus on trend-driven, denim-centered womenswear.
