Hollywood Eyes, the final word in Hollywood glamour with a South Florida twist, is hosting an exclusive Fendi trunk show and cocktail soiree benefitting Girl Rising, a global campaign for girls’ education that began as a groundbreaking feature film and has grown into a thriving movement.

Since the launch of the movement, the Girl Rising Campaign has raised over $5 million for girls programs, and the “Girl Rising” film has been seen by over 1.5 million viewers with more than 200 corporations such as Intel, Bobbi Brown, Charles Schwab, and Facebook supporting the cause by hosting corporate screenings.

Hollywood Eyes’ evening of shopping and cocktails for a cause will feature a Fendi eye wear trunk show as well as other designer eyewear collections, perfectly timed to transition you from summer to fall.

Guests will enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres from FACE restaurant, complimentary wine, and a preview of fall’s hottest frames with 20% of all proceeds benefitting Girl Rising. There will also be a luxury raffle for a chance to win two pair of Fendi designer glasses with 100% of proceeds going to the campaign.

The event, which takes place Friday, September 26th from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., is free and open to the public and serves as a prelude to the “Girl Rising” movie screening at the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center on October 25, 2014.

#ThankYouMiami for Fashion – H&M Grand Opening

H&M-Miami-International-Mall-Grand-Opening

There was once a dark time in the lives of South Florida H&M lovers when we had to travel many miles northward to shop the latest trends. Luckily, that time has passed and the distance between us and the nearest H&M store has grown progressively shorter. Tomorrow’s grand opening of an H&M store at the Miami International Mall is but another magnificent milestone toward brighter days. Here the three facts you need to know about the new 22,000 square foot store that will make more of Miami’s fashion dreams come true!

1. It is the second of its kind in the Miami metro area. The first store opened on Lincoln Road in 2012 at the historic Lincoln Theatre. True to a statement Daniel Kulle, U.S. president for H&M, made regarding the opening of its preview pop-up shop: “The opening…signifies the beginning of a strong relationship between H&M and Miami shoppers.” The feeling is mutual, Mr. Kulle.

2. It offers fashion for the whole family. The store will be stocked with our favorite collections for ladies, men, and children, including clothing for newborns. Age is no longer an excuse to not look your very best, Miami.

3. It will help you reduce your carbon footprint. Yes, you read correctly. H&M’s global garment recycling program gives you 15% off your purchase for every bag of old and unwanted clothing items that you donate in-store, regardless of their brand. So, go ahead, reduce, reuse, recycle…and shop.

The store will open at noon tomorrow, Thursday, May 29th. The first 100 shoppers in line will receive an H&M t-shirt and an Access to Fashion Pass (valued up to $300). Also, shoppers who bring garments to be recycled before noon will have the chance to win H&M gift cards valued between $50 and $100 in addition to receiving 15% off. Happy shopping!

Komen and an additional $2 for every Wacoal or b.tempt’d by Wacoal bra or shapewear piece purchased on the event day.

For more than a decade with its landmark Fit for the Cure® program, Wacoal has educated more than half a million women about the importance of bra fit, foundation and breast health. Women should be professionally fitted for a bra at least once a year to ensure their cup and width size has not changed as a result of weight gain or loss, pregnancy, or other changes in their body. Take 15 minutes to meet with a Wacoal fit expert and contribute to an important cause. Breast cancer accounts for 26 percent of all cancers among women.

Fashion Designer Maria Lèpe to Showcase Haute Evening Gowns and Sexy Swimwear

MegaCity Events, Urban Gypsy Productions and Vitamin C Communications will host the Maria Lèpe Winter Fashion Show with cocktails in the Garden Lounge. The Fashion Show, which will feature the designer’s evening and swimwear collection, starts at 11:00 p.m. An after party will take place in the Red Room Lounge of the Shore Club immediately following the show with music by RBK.

Born in Los Angeles, Maria Lèpe was bitten by the fashion bug at a very early age inspired by the glamour of her favorite dolls. She was acquainted to the art of making clothes by her grandmother in Mexico and later on, moved to South Florida to pursue her passion for fashion at the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, where she graduated. It was there that she won the “Best Gown Collection” award and decided to move to New York to attend the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). From there, Lèpe’s couture talent and great fashion sense helped her land an internship with internationally known designer, Vera Wang. After graduation from FIT, she worked closely with Rosita Hurtado where she perfected her detail techniques and developed her signature style. Maria took some time off and traveled on an adventurous trip through France and Italy and got inspired to launch her label which she called Lèpe in honor of her grandparents’ name.

Maria’s vision for Lèpe is a fusion of elegance, fun and sex appeal. Inspired by lush colors and fine fabrics, her garments make a woman feel confident and apart from the rest.

Swimsuit Designer Cristy Rice Joins Forces with Artist Rey Jaffet to Combine Art and Fashion for Art Basel 2013 Combining Their Talents for a Limited Edition Art Basel Swimsuit Collection

Every year Art Basel takes over the city of Miami and brings in art, talent and enthusiasts from all over the globe. Everyone is anticipating the most exciting week of the year in Miami, where former Real Housewives of Miami star Cristy Rice will showcase her limited edition Art Basel swimwear collection which includes special designs created by the young artist taking over Miami’s art scene, Rey “Rson” Jaffet. Cuban Rice bikini-clad performance models airbrushed in Rey’s designs will take the streets of Wynwood & Brickell showing off the artful collection, acting as walking forms of art, at several galleries and after parties throughout the week. This year, patrons can go home with an exclusive swimsuit from Art Basel 2013 and don their art on beaches, in true Miami form.

Created by sassy Latina and former “Real Housewives of Miami” star Cristy Rice, Cuban Rice is an American-based swimwear and accessories brand designed for all body types from teen girls to women. Inspired by Cristy’s heritage, her life in the multicultural city of Miami and her worldly travels, the bold line captures the Cuban-American’s vivacious and free-spirited personality by featuring bright colors, sexy styles and fun prints. Handmade in Colombia, the debut collection “Cubanita” is a mix of the various styles, fabrics, embroideries and accessories that capture Cristy’s personality best. Standing by the notion that “la actitud is everything,” as Cristy firmly believes, which means “your attitude is everything”, Cuban Rice serves as a reminder to girls and women that beauty comes from within.

Lila Nikole, fashion designer for upscale swimwear line Lila Nikole Collection, and Jessica Marquez, owner of Simply Productions, will host the second annual fundraiser, Fusion art and fashion event on Thursday, Dec. 5, from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m., at the L.M.N.T Art Gallery, located at 59 NW 36 St., in Midtown. The event will benefit Project Save Imagination, a foundation that supports students with an avid interest in the arts and music but lack the funds or opportunities to pursue their dreams.

“The goal of Project Save Imagination is to raise fund for underprivileged children and boost public arts programs that have suffered from budget cuts,” said Lila Nikole. “Without art, music, fashion and theater, these students are unable to fully realize their greatness and potential. Project Save Imagination grants them that opportunity.”

Taking place during Art Basel 2013, “Fusion” is a funky, fashion-forward mash-up fundraiser that will combine enthralling live musical performances, an art to wear fashion show, fine art and photography gallery displays, and the attendance of top models, trend setters and celebrities. Lila Nikole will reveal her new collection inspired by Frida Kahlo, mexican folk art and Dia De Los Muertos.

The event will be hosted by Aisha Thalia. Music will be provided by DJ Affect, Mobius 8, DJ Mad Linx and Jo’zzy. Participating artist is Aaron Maybin. Photography display is by Derick G. Throughout the event, there will be fashion exhibits from the Lila Nikole Collection. The event is sponsored by Affect Made and Aveda.

Alessandra Gold Presents KruZIn x Art Basel Series 12/4/13-12/8/13

kruzinKruZIn x Art Basel Series
Wednesday, December 4, 5pm-12am
Alessandra Gold Concept Store
3326 North Miami Ave
Miami, FL 33127

Miami’s own Alessandra Gold Concept Store (AGCS), and its resident sneaker label KruZin, will celebrate Art Basel Miami 2013 by hosting the launch of a sneaker collection honoring the coming Chinese Year of the Horse, and featuring international artist collaborations forged especially for this Basel Miami event. KruZin’s CEO, Ming Wei-Shih, will travel from the company’s Taipei headquarters to officiate the launch.

On Wednesday December 4th, 2013 AGCS will host an invite-only press and VIP viewing and artist meet-and-greet event, opening at 5:00PM for press, and at 6:30PM for other invited guests. Co-hosting the event with Alessandra Gold (KruZin Creative Director) is CEO, Author and TV personality, Tomi Rose (as seen on “Hot Listings Miami”).

Event attendees will witness the transformation of the AGCS space (inside and out) into art in its own right with a full-scale installation created by Gilberto Mendes, CEO and Art Director for famed Brazilian event-as-art company, “Perverts” (http://www.perverts.com.br).

Featured Artists:
· Yuri Tuma: born in Sao Paulo (Brazil), and living and working in Miami. Tuma’s art centers around photography, but he is a frequent collaborator in other media including video, sculpture, fashion and installation art. His art involves transformation of photograph images into formulaic patterns creating optical art pieces unusual to the field of photography (http://www.yurituma.com/).
· Malcolm Stuart: working and living in LA, Malcolm is at the forefront of contemporary airbrush art and is well known for his custom hand air brushed art and painting onto apparel, adopted by artist mavens such as Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and the emerging fashion house JoyRich (http://malcolmstuart.com/).
· Kamikvze – by James Velez: born and raised in Miami, James is an emergent multi-dimensional artist exhibiting superb skills in drawing and painting. Collaborations minted in this young artist’s career include Martellus Bennett, IMKING.CO and Coin$lot (http://instagram.com/kamikvze#).
· Guava de Artist was born and raised in Antigua and Barbuda. He works out of Takamatsu (Japan) and Miami. He is a self-taught graphic cartoonist that uses various materials (wood, vinyl, metal, acrylic paint, etc) to create art pieces on apparel, footwear walls, and canvases (https://www.facebook.com/guavadeartist).

“Miami is becoming a culture melting pot where some of the world’s most cutting edge international cultural events happen, Art Basel, Winter Music Conference, ULTRA, Miami International Fashion Week and Swim Week, bring people worldwide to Miami for a world-class experience. It is important for me as a Miami transplant, to rise with Miami’s star. In just two short years of creating AGCS in Miami, it has managed to become an international bridge between art and fashion. That is why this year, we felt it made sense to create clothes and shoes that celebrate what Basel means to art worldwide,” said creative director and principal, Alessandra Gold, when asked about the genesis of the Basel events and collection.

AGCS will also host three open-to-the public events on Friday December 6th, Saturday December 7th and the wrap party on Sunday December 8th. The art of Brazilian painter Fernando De Oliveira will also be displayed in the Gold Photography Studio as an appendix – additional exclusive Basel exhibit.

CRAFT: Spirits & Beer (CRAFT), a namesake three day program concentrating on the beverage industry’s fastest growing segment announces their roster for industry and public festivities. The event, which takes place from November 8 – 10, 2013, will anchor with a tasting gallery experience on November 9, 2013 and will include educational panel discussions hosted by some of the industry’s most influential beverage specialists, a masters’ dinner series as well as after-hour festivities.

Taking over Soho Studios in Miami’s Wynwood district, CRAFT will showcase some of the industry’s best artisanal spirits and beers. Curated by a distinguished advisory board, each producer will be carefully evaluated to ensure there is a perfect blend. Thus far, an exciting line up of exhibitors include brands like Koval, High West Distillery, Dry Fly Distilling and Benromach Distillery, Balcones, St. George, Miami Club Rum, Atsby Vermouth, Cape Distillers, Compass Box and Tuthilltown Spirits.

Beverage enthusiasts will have their chance to participate in several great events with proceeds benefitting the Florida Craft Distillers Guild and Florida Brewers Guild. Tickets are available for purchase online at www.craftspiritsandbeer.com/tickets:

Tasting Gallery Experience: Enjoy a true craft experience with unique beverages perfectly paired with some of the city’s most authentic eats. Tickets for the tasting gallery experience can be purchased for an early price of $50 per person for general admission (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.) or $75 per person for VIP (2 p.m. to 6 p.m.)

Educational Panel Discussions: Panel Discussions offer on trend topics like What is Craft? with special guest Chuck Cowdery and The Art of Scotch Whisky Blending with John Glaser. Tickets for seminars range in price and start at $25 per person.

Masters Dinner Series: Taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, the dinners are both educational and intimate. Dinners include Artisanal Cognacs at Copper Box with host Nicolas Palazzi ($170 per person), American Craft Whisky at Michael’s Genuine Food and Drink with Chuck Cowdery ($150 per person) and Balcones Whiskey Pairing Dinner with Chip Tate at Yardbird ($150 per person).

Craft Cocktail BBQ: James Beard-nominated mixologists Elad Zvi and Gabriel Orta of The Broken Shaker will host a craft cocktail barbecue, sponsored by High West, St. George, Dry Fly and Tapatio. The event is complimentary and invite only.

“As we have seen over the past decade with food, both in our homes and restaurants, people are more aware and concerned with knowing the source of what they consume and how it’s made. The farm-to-table movement is really a nod to old processes, a step back in time,” says Massolo. “With CRAFT, I hope to bridge a similar gap, one that grows the understanding of and appreciation for small batch spirits and beers being made with great care; many, following family recipes, helping revive their surrounding community or following historic and traditional guidelines.”  

In addition to CRAFT, Massolo has launched Spirited Sirens the blog and Spirited Sirens: A Tasting Event, the latter a series of “offline interactives” geared towards women. Both companies are subsidiaries of her parent company, The Liquid Projects.

The night’s purpose is to raise awareness concerning human trafficking. On May 18, 2013, Cloak Inc. launched its latest campaign collection entitled, “I AM”. The collection is a simple concept that speaks to a complex issue. Self-identity, self-respect and, love of self can be issues victims of human trafficking face.
As well, traffickers and philanders of the industry often objectify and dehumanize their victims. “I AM is a personal statement of awareness and existence. It is a declaration that gives way to life,” says Ebonie M. Mukasa, Cloak Inc., CEO and Founder. 20% of the net proceeds from the sale of the “I Am” Campaign
Collection will be donated to organizations rescuing and restoring victims of human trafficking.

Pops & Purpose is a platform for the community to meet and interact with social brands. This energetic atmosphere, offers a social opportunity for brands to share their purposes and products with consumers.

If you would like to participate in this event as a socially conscious brand or vendor there are a limited number of spaces available. Contact Cloak Inc. at info@cloakinc.com or call 786-505-2601.

Memorial Weekend is here… almost!
Miami Beach locals leave South Beach for Urban Week… We face it ! How? By presenting designer swimwear line, Adoro by Maytee Martinez with camouflage cover-ups, war accessories and attitude.

Is this a typical fashion show? No it’s not.. it’s a concept show, with a different and fun theme for all. How? Models will be judged as they walk and how they walk and attitude is everything. This is NOT a pretty girl show with flowy dresses. This is a battle– a battle against the world with style and determination. Professional photographers will be capturing all the snapshots of the battle scene as it happens.
Is this a model competition? No, it’s also a styling competition. Watch local upcoming stylists battle Stephanie from Taste by Stephanie Guerra, the warrior. She is an established New York and South Florida stylist battling with the same bare campground rules provided to all parties. Each stylist will be given 2 hours, 3 models, camp fabric, nets, scissors and a staple gun. It is up to them to create down to the final countdown the wining look as they compete for the Memorial Weekend stylist award.

So is this a hotel fashion show? NO! Its an art expression show capturing the essence of the weekend, and come see a real show as we take the fashion show to a different level. Models WILL walk in the middle of the streets, where all the Urban street action takes place.

Is this all ? Please come join the “Party at Cha Cha Roster” as DJ’s start at 3 pm til sunrise and let the place light up with fashion wars, drinks and excitement.
