This year’s event marks a significant expansion to its annual calendar and will coincide with Miami’s bustling season of high-profile events. Attendees can look forward to thrilling runway shows, sustainability initiatives, and exclusive activations that reflect the city’s energetic spirit.
Following the success of the January 2024 event, which introduced a focus on streetwear, MIAFW is enhancing its legacy of Resort showcases by embracing a diverse range of design genres. This November, Lafayette 148 New York will unveil their Resort collection at the chic Mr. C Coconut Grove. Esteemed designers returning to the MIAFW stage include Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada, who will present her inspiring new autobiography, and Yas González, known for her designs inspired by the essence of Miami. Celebrity designer Giannina Azar will once again bring her signature glamour to the runway, while Shantall Lacayo will showcase a collection that fuses culturally rich designs with contemporary artistry.
In a bid to support local talent, MIAFW proudly introduces the “MiamiMade” initiative, welcoming new designers, including the acclaimed Sigal. The event’s international roster will also feature Claro Couture from Spain, offering a touch of European elegance, and Venezuelan designer Yenny Bastida, who is celebrated for her blend of sustainability and high fashion. Further announcements of new designers are expected, adding to the excitement of the upcoming event.
“Miami Fashion Week has always stood as a vibrant crossroads of creativity and culture,” stated Lourdes Fernandez-Velasco, Executive Director of Miami Fashion Week. “With an exciting new designer lineup and our continued commitment to sustainability, the event captures the unstoppable spirit that solidifies Miami as a thriving cultural hub. This November, we’re merging innovation with meaningful dialogue to commemorate fashion and redefine its future.”
MIAFW is grateful for the support of Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami Beach as it continues to promote industry growth and innovation.
