The Miami Beach Convention Center Hall was the fashion platform created for designers to gain international exposure during the 13th Annual Miami Beach International Fashion Week. Another spectacular fashion event organized by Beth Sobol and her team.
Drawing from the psychological thriller, Black Swan, bold black with a splash of color was the palette on the runways. The four days fashion event showcased lingerie, swimwear, mens wear, fashion seminars, students and designer competitions, and an award ceremony presented by Tiffany & Co. Talented and emerging designers from Miami and over 22 countries made a lasting impression with fabulous swimwear, lingerie, and ready-to-wear collections that are fit for pool parties and other summery occasions.
The Miami Beach International Fashion Week ended in grand fashion with an award ceremony, an excerpt of Swan Lake performed by the senior students of the Miami City Ballet Academy and a Black Swan Fashion Show.
