The term of gauchism is ambiguous. In its French meaning it denotes a radical political movement in France on the left of the French Communist Party, whereas in its Spanish-Portuguese meaning it denotes a literary movement about the world of the gauchos, the South American ranchers. The Argentine writer Ricardo Güiraldes had once explained: “If you are really a gaucho, you cannot change, because wherever you go, you will go with your soul leading the way.” This impressed the fashion designer Sara Cavazza Facchini so, that she made the gauchos a theme of the ready‑to‑wear collection for spring and summer of 2020.
