It was on Saturday May 17th (2014) at the Miami Beach Convention Center and the black carpet set up was really nice. As soon as you walked in, you felt like you were at a fashion show. Ofcourse I thought I had VIP after paying $75US for the ticket but it wasn't and I had to stand in line. The show did not start promptly at 5:30pm as we were still lined up outside. When I finally got inside, there were volunteers to direct you to your seat. The great thing was, we were informed if all seats are not taken, you can move down and fill up the front seats! Oh yeah! And so I did.
There were 4 shows mainly with Hispanic designers (but I stayed for 2 becuz I was hungry..could wait especially as they started late!):
1. Evening wear showcase feat. designers- Fadila Kihel, Magnolia, Teresa Rosati/ Olga Bolanos
- definitely loved designs by Magnolia
The designers of Magnolia and 1 is preggo..how cute!!!
2. Argentina showcase- I didn't take pix for this one becuz I was just running on fumes by now..a little light headed. But their designs were very CULTURAL...meaning a lot of crocheted, tribal and eclectic designs for prints and accessories. Very colourful. I googled a few designers:
Agostina Bianci
Cuatro Colorado
Emprendedores de Nuestra Tierra
Mariana Castro
3rd & 4th shows were an Italy and Swimwear showcase.
All in all I had a great experience even though I didn't know any of the designers. Next time I'll eat heavy in advance and stay for all the shows lol.
Who knows...I may become a designer! THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!
