Relaunch

In May 2015 the company was acquired by The Fashion Shows, LLC and developed an innovative strategic relaunching plan. Miami Fashion Week since 2016 has been considered the second largest fashion event in the United States. The brand then welcomed Antonio Banderas as its Honorary President. Following the relaunch of Miami Fashion Week, the brand had a clear focus on debuting resort collections of established and emerging international designers. Even with the focus on international designers, Miami Fashion Week has been dedicated to cultivating the fashion industry in Miami. Miami's diverse connection between Latin America and the United States encourages the development of Miami's ever-growing artists and designers.
