FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 17, 2005, Los Angeles, California-The Urban Fashion Week is proud to announce the great success of our event in beautiful Miami, Florida. The event was set in motion in South Beach on Thursday October 6 hosted at the luxurious penthouse suite of the Nash Hotel. The early part of the evening gave our top male and female models a chance for beguiling and distinguishing photo opts. Later in the evening we jammed to Miami's own DJ NVOUS Styles at the intimate, very cozy Ultra Lounge, off of Hwy 1 Biscayne Blvd., Miami to the early morning.
Friday night’s extravaganza was hosted by Billy Bad Ass and Miami own hip hop artist Jackie O, with her super sexy panache, she kept the crowd popping and animated all the way to the finish. Initially we had planned for two shows going on simultaneously with an elite outdoor spot light, the weather conditions changed these plans but the show and the partying went on as scheduled with 45 flawless models that gave a clinic on what walking a runway is all about. Friday's show featured the exiting, refreshing clothing lines from premiere designers Meezan, Rosita Hurtadon, Jazzy Unique Body and Billy Bad Ass to name a few. The after party at Teaser had a very eclectic vibe and special guest Rsvping ....Missy Elliot and the whole Slip and Slide crew ( shout outs). The patrons consisted of a cool fusion of people returning from Thursday’s night event and many of the trendiest partygoers from the South Beach scene.
Toccara from America’s Next Top Model exclusively hosted Saturday’s night party, she also took her turn strutting down the runway, not once but twice showing the other models she still had what it takes. Rosita Hurtado took the limelight this evening with her superlative red carpet dress. We closed the night with one of many standing ovations. Many debated that the second night was even stronger than the first night; I guess you had to be there! Behind the scenes everything moved at a hectic pace, even UPS added to the chaos by delivering some over-night deliveries to the wrong venue, had us asking, "What had Brown done to us?" All the models, designers, our special Guest and friends from the show came out to "pop bottles" and celebrate the first official Miami Urban Fashion Week.
We now look forward to the March installment of Urban Fashion Week- Miami to be more pompous and exhilarating than our fall review. Please come to http://www.theurbanfashionweek.com/ to see the various faces of elation of the models and guest (pictures launched on Oct 19th, link below) . We had so much fun words can hardly describe the emotions felt. A little note to the many haters who did everything in there power, drunk on "haterade", to put a damper on this event, thanks for all the "drama", Fredrick Douglas inspired me to believe that "without struggle there is no progress". Remember next time "things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least" Thanks to Danielle Photography for all those hot shots featured on the website, the stylist at All Dolled Up Salons you guys did your thing, Black Star Security thanks for holding me down gentlemen, George Duke from the Opium Group for consulting me through the city, all the dazzling models for all the support, friends, family, colleagues and staff. I love y’all.
