South Beach is on the cutting edge of not only high-rise architecture, but also fashion and art. Fashionistas from all over the world flock here each year in springtime for Miami Beach International Fashion Week -- the largest international and Hispanic fashion event in the country. This year, ONE | Sothebys hosted a private, sneak preview couture event in their South Beach office.
Located in the quiet South of Fifth neighborhood, the 6,000 square foot workspace includes 2,000 square feet devoted to art exhibits. The fruit of the ONE CIFO project -- a creative fundraising partnership between ONE | Sothebys and the Cisnero Fontanals Art Foundation, which supports emerging and mid-career artists from Latin America. All the art pieces are available for purchase to benefit the foundation.
Artwork featured in the past includes that of Cuban-born artist Glexis Novoa. Two of his graphite wall drawings are on permanent public display at the mouth of the Miami River, just a stones throw from South Beach -- drawings which cross a most interesting line between art and architecture. Last week, art wasnt just hanging from walls, but from the shoulders of sexy, svelte figures.
Deco Drive, Miamis most popular see-and-be-seen TV show, was on the premises to shoot the models who sported designs by Eduardo de las Casas, a Peruvian designer inspired by old Hollywood glamour. Equally stunning gowns came from Ema Koja, the fashion star behind Ema Savahl designs. The silhouettes are for amazing bodies, which we have in Miami, Kojo said on tape. And thats also true of many bodies made of concrete, steel and glass that dot Miamis extraordinary skyline. Fashion week has ended, but beauty, art and fashion converge in South Florida year-round, especially on the cosmopolitan island of Miami Beach.
