Women's Clothing Shopping in Buenos Aires
I know there is mention of leather goods as something to shop for in Buenos Aires.
But my question is more where you can get high end clothing for women.
I'd be interested in stuff that wasn't the international big name designers, but rather Argentinian designers who might make custom clothing for customers... sort of the Hong Kong suit makers for women.

As GUWonder correctly points out, you need to look around the Recoleta area. Plenty of local designers with various styles. However, please note that pricing will not be comparable to SE Asian markets.... it will almost certainly be more expensive.
In the large shopping malls, apart from international brand names you will also find many local brands & designers that may have what you are looking for. I suggest you checking out Patio Bullrich, Paseo Alcorta and Galerias Pacifico.

For the "hip" younger female crowd looking for night-on-the-town clothes, I've heard shopping around Palermo has picked up steam in the clothing arena too. But, by way of the reference to HKG custom clothes, that may not be what the OP is looking for.
Enjoy your stay, the good shopping and all that comes with it.
[Perhaps Gaucho100k can launch a thread about men's shopping in Buenos Aires. I trust his tastes .... especially in ties.
(A reference to an old OMNI thread about favorite tie makers.) ]

However, it's free, on points, and also well located. We've walked to Recoleta and back.BA is a wonderful city, truly world class. We've enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back. Ah, the steaks!

) for either of the two Sheratons in Capital Federal, Buenos Aires is a great place to redeem points and have a world class experience. After all, between a bit of walking or cheap cabs the options are good, very good.

If you are going to Montevideo check out Ana Livni's boutique downtown. Very very high styled knitwear sweaters, dresses and fabric coats. She is immensely talented. She Hand dyes her yarn. All Made in Uruguay. May want to check out her website first as many of her designs are very high styled but excellent quality and I think very reasonably priced.
