An invitation to the underground:“SweaterNation,” by Kayce Armstrong


An invitation to the underground
Kayce Armstrong debuts her latest collection, “SweaterNation,” during an artful downtown evening
Contact: Designer Kayce Armstrong 305-776-1223
MIAMI, FLA – Fashion designer Kayce Armstrong will expose her highly anticipated
SweaterNation line during “Underground Sunshine,” an exclusive multimedia fashion show
Friday, December 1, 2006. Hosted by Juni Boutique’s Julie Johnson and Ninfa.
Armstrong’s inspiration for SweaterNation evolved from seeing the locals’ penchant for wearing
sweaters during her countless treks through Denmark and Scandinavia. The result is romantic,
edgy and forward-thinking dresses for the holiday season both here in Miami and abroad. The
line is constructed from hundreds of deconstructed sweaters, shawls, vintage and recycled
fabrics.
Accolades consistently surround Armstrong and her often witty, ironic and sensual designs.
Armstrong was recently City Link magazine’s cover story, and she was also featured in Gen Art’s
IGNITE! 2006 as well as its Shop Miami events. Her designs remain true to her “strategy for
renewal” philosophy, a belief that innovative fashion can come from recycled fabrics.
Within the iron gates of the Soya & Pomodoro restaurant lies the elegant and weathered
architecture of the historic Lincoln Bank lobby, the perfect venue to debut SweaterNation.
Italian, trattoria style food, beer and wine will be available in the restaurant. The Sweater Nation
show begins at 9 p.m. and will run simultaneously with the chilly arctic images of “Crystals of
Light” by Icelandic photographer AO.
After the runway show, chill out to the cool, electronic sounds of Xtrasense live with special
guests performing at 10 pm, and putting the icing on the night is the sexy electro punk pop band,
Kill Miss Pretty, performing at 11 pm.
The shows are free and open to the public. Limited seating is available for the fashion show.
Soya & Pomodoro restaurant will be serving dinner from 7pm-11pm. Reservations are strongly
recommended. For RSVP contact Leslie at 786-357-5519
Several of Armstrong’s designs are available for purchase at the Juni Boutique, 213A NE 2nd
Ave., Miami.
What – Underground Sunshine, a multi-media fashion show
WHEN – Friday, December 1, 2006 7 pm – ?, fashion show begins at 9
WHERE – Soya & Pomodoro Restaurant, 120 NE 1st Ave., 786-357-5519

FTL MODA will launch the concept of a greater Fort Lauderdale-based International Fashion Week

Fort Lauderdale to premiere International Fashion, Culture January, 2007

FTLMODA.com launched

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – FTL MODA will launch the concept of a greater Fort Lauderdale-based International Fashion Week, a concept unique in the United States, Jan. 25-28, 2007. This 4-day event is a “mini” version of what will be presented annually starting in 2008.

FTLMODA.com will carry designer information, schedule updates, promotional materials for media and information on tickets and passes.

FTL MODA will flaunt the hottest European, Latin and Caribbean designers in front of the American fashion scene and expose Fort Lauderdale to the international marketplace. Each of the 15 featured designers has been hand selected to premiere fresh, full Spring 2008 collections. Available will be haute couture for women and men, swimwear, resort wear, accessories, jewelry and footwear.

FTL MODA will redefine couture for the 21st century by returning it to the people. Fashionistas and rank and file alike will have the same opportunity to purchase directly at the event. Each showcase will go directly from the runway to the showroom, each of the more than 350 pieces from the model to a purchaser. Each design will be one-of-a-kind, cosmopolitan couture, constructed for immediate consumption.

FTL MODA will inspire a series of select cultural events in addition to two days of world-class fashion: an exposition by celebrated sculptural artist Massimo Sansavini, the American debut of Italian musical sensations Studio 3 and the Mandolin Brothers, a Tuscan culinary event of gastronomic proportions, a classical concert by renowned orchestral group I Solisti Veneti and MODAmici, an extraordinary pet fashion show.

FTL MODA is a registered Florida non-profit organization. Partial net proceeds from FTL MODA also will be donated to The Pet Project in Fort Lauderdale, the University of Miami’s Juvenile Diabetes Research Project led by Italian scientist Camillo Ricordi and Funding Arts Broward, an arts organization committed to preserving and cultivating the arts in Broward County.

FTL MODA partners include the City of Fort Lauderdale, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Museum of Art / Fort Lauderdale, The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Miami International University of Art and Design, Funding Arts Broward, the Consulate General of Italy in Miami, Go Riverwalk Magazine, Six Degrees Magazine, BocaRaton.com, Fierté Cosmetics, Posche Models, Ocean Drive Models, Dennis Dean Images, 2 blond salon, and Radio LatteMiele, Italy’s national radio station.

FTL MODA is spearheaded by Domani Production and organized by a team of forward-thinking business owners, designers and artisans. The name, “moda,” is synonymous with fashion, culture, style and all things cosmopolitan and reflects the Italian flavor of the inaugural event.

Haydee Giraldo: Halloween Project Runway feedback

from Haydee Giraldo
Dear Fashion Students,
Thanks to all of you who participated in our “Halloween Project Runway”. All of your efforts were appreciated, each costume was equally impressive. Creativity and ingenuity aside, the most impressive feat was that they were completed in one hour’s time! For those of you that were not able to make it, the participants had one hour to complete a garment. They were allowed to bring their own fabric, Student Affairs provided the extra items. We had feathers, glitter, wigs, hats, paper streamers, pom-poms, strips of fabric, streamers, ribbon, and glue guns. At the conclusion of the hour, 5 arbitrary judges from the Student Government Association, walked around and scored their favorites on a scale of 1-5.
I’ll be honest; we almost decided to change the contest to “Make a Costume for a Pumpkin” because I thought that it would be unfeasible to finish a human sized costume in one hour. I was wrong. Your professors had such faith in you that they insisted on a human sized costume. Glad to see that the AiFL students can think on their feet! Thanks again for your participation and I’ll look forward to seeing you at the upcoming events.
