Funkshion Miami Fashion Week

Funkshion - Fashion Week Miami Beach celebrated its 11th season with the most impressive line-ups in their history. The state of the art fashion tents where built INSIDE the Botanical Garden in Miami Beach. The venue featured three unique venues with a large court yard for sponsor activations in the center of it all. FUNKSHION: Fashion Week Miami Beach opened on October 1st at both the Botanical Gardens HARPERS BAZAAR show (8pm) and with BEJEWELED BY SUSAN FIXEL at Setai Hotel.

The shows I had a chance to attend were the Argyle Culture runway show by Russell Simmons, The Keva show by Keva J, and the Cookie runway show by Cookie magazine. All three shows were good with a notable appearance by Keva J who made an exceptionally strong showing, especially for a new comer. She is an up and comer originally from South Florida who is making a name for herself designing woman's wear.

Argyle collection features a classic yet timeless American styled line updated with a bright and contemporary color palette. As expected there were many famous faces in attendance such as: Gabrielle Union, Kevin Lyles, Mr. Simmons (himself), Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, & Ryan Seacrest of American Idol fame, even rapper turn DJ; D Nice.

Here r a few pics from the Argyle show & afterparty:
