'Locals Only' is a column in which we ask friends from Argentina, our featured country, where they like to eat, thrift, hideout, and hang out when visiting their homeland.
Clara Cullen is a Buenos Aires-born filmmaker based in New York City. If her name sounds familiar, you may just be a solid devotee of the OC Blog––Clara made a video called Nightvision in 2010 that featured OC footwear, and most recently, we snapped her at her boyfriend Max Farago's much talked-about photography show in Buenos Aires. Clara has also been keeping busy shooting yet another lookbook for the Argentinian label Ay Not Dead, which stars bombshells Dree Hemingway and Josh Beech. See what Clara recommends in Buenos Aires below!
