South Florida’s design community will travel back to the infamous 18th century circus era by attending this year’s Design Mix presented by The International Interior Designer Association (IIDA) South Florida Chapter. “Peculiarium” will welcome the normal, the non-normal, the odd and the peculiar on Saturday, March 30th, starting at 6 p.m. The event be held at Park Place inside The Miami Scottish Rite (located at 471 N.W. 3rd Street, Miami, FL. 33127).
IIDA South Florida Chapter advocates for advancements in education, design excellence, legislation, leadership, accreditation and community outreach to increase the value and understanding of Interior Design as a profession. Design Mix is the organization’s signature event which raises funds to award scholarships to exemplary interior design students as well as legislation advocacy efforts. The focus of the event is to pair industry members with design firms in a joint mission to fabricate wearable garments made entirely out of materials provided by event sponsors. This year’s runway show will begin at 7:30 p.m. and it will feature 23 models rocking the latest trends in textiles, wall coverings, flooring, tiles, etc. All garments will be reviewed and scored by non-industry guest judges who will present awards in various categories at the end of the fashion show.
Clowns, flame throwers, acrobats and jugglers will be greeting and interacting with guests at Peculiarium. Design’s Greatest Show will also feature mystical creatures of the unknown and creatures that will seem peculiar to the average human eye. The emcee for the evening is one of South Florida’s most coveted drag queens Athena Dion (Instagram: @AthenaDion) who recently appeared on MTV’s new hit series Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club. During this year’s event, guests will enjoy live entertainment, specialty cocktails, light bites and a sponsored photobooth. The Event Chairs for Design Mix 2019 are IIDA Members Janelle Arauz and Jason Valentin.
