Miami Swim Week® The Shows is making waves once again as it returns to Miami from May 29 to June 2, 2024, to turn this vibrant city into becoming a host to over 100 designers, models, and celebrities, making it the largest swim and resort wear gathering in the world. With a star-studded lineup and a range of satellite events, this year's edition of Miami Swim Week® is set to surpass all expectations.

One of the hallmarks of Miami Swim Week® is its commitment to sustainability, inclusivity and diversity, promising an unparalleled celebration of socially and environmentally responsible fashion. Embracing all body types and backgrounds, the event proudly celebrates the sparkling tapestry of the global fashion community. From runway shows to exclusive parties and pop-up shops, attendees can expect a comprehensive sensory experience set against the breathtaking backdrop of Miami's coastline. 

In the heart of Los Angeles, amidst the glitz and glamour that often defined Hollywood, a different kind of spotlight shone. It wasn't about blockbuster films or chart-topping hits; it was about celebrating something far more profound – excellence, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of truth. The 10th Annual Truth Awards emerged on the horizon, an event transcending the ordinary to honor extraordinary individuals and their remarkable contributions to the LGBTQ+ community.

Spearheaded by Better Brothers Los Angeles (BBLA) and The DIVA Foundation under the guiding light of the incomparable Sheryl Lee Ralph, that year's Truth Awards promised nothing short of groundbreaking. With each passing year, the celebration of authenticity and achievement has grown in significance. The anticipation reached new heights as the Beverly Hilton Hotel prepared to open its doors on Saturday, March 30th. As the clock ticked closer to 5:30 pm, excitement brewed not just for a single evening but for an unprecedented trilogy of events, marking a historic first in the annals of the Truth Awards.

There are very few luxury fashion brands on a global scale that declare their dedication to sustainability, conservation, and commitment to producing zero waste, but who are doing it. LILYSILK, whose motto is ‘Not all silk is created equal,’ is a real leader in this movement to convert the fashion industry from being a second largest polluter in the world after petroleum and the second-largest consumer of the world’s water supply into an environmentally friendly force that helps to create a sustainable future for our planet.

It is no surprise that LILYSILK became an exemplary brand that supports several critical causes, such as the fight against breast cancer, by continuing its partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® (NBCF), which is inspiring people to live spectacular, sustainable lives, teaming up with world’s most influential celebrities such as Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and TV host Kelly Clarkson.

In the sun-kissed world of swimwear fashion, where every ripple of fabric tells a story of style and confidence, few brands shimmer as brightly as Adicora Swimwear. Beyond the mere strokes of design genius, this label is a manifesto—a celebration of empowerment, a commitment to sustainability, and a heartfelt embrace of community.

Founded by the visionary Niveen Carrero, Adicora Swimwear draws inspiration from the vibrant cultures of the Caribbean and Latin America. Each piece reflects a fusion of style, comfort, and confidence, allowing women to express their individuality with grace and flair.

Interview by Yuliya Suleymanova. Seattle, WA – Sun Valley ID.

 

I have been planning an interview with Carole McClellan, an American designer noted for using leather and repurposed fur for quite a while. I was trying to remember how long we’ve known each other. I believe it has been 15 years. Time flies! I have experienced the luxury of having Carole design several unique pieces.

 

Carole has been an incredible mentor for me. I would always seek advice from Carole on either producing a fashion show, consulting on the teaching material for my fashion marketing and branding courses, working with local fashion designers, or asking her to share fashion industry knowledge and expertise on the fashion discussion panel at the Fashion Group International, Seattle Chapter.

Milan Heger’s Art Exhibition DUALITY

Ryan James Fine Arts Gallery in partnership with Patricia Cameron Gallery presents "Duality", a conceptual exhibition of paintings and mixed media works by Seattle based artist Milan Heger. 

Ryan James, the gallery director, shares the vision of Milan Heger’s “Duality” exhibition: “Milan embarked on the road of creating art as a young man, in response to the uniformity of colorless propaganda around him during the totalitarian regime he grew up in. Therefore, unique and original became the hallmark of his soulful art expression. Covering the non-objectionable in his performance art or in his mixed-media works, Milan Heger looks for the essence of what makes us human.”
