Fort Lauderdale to Premiere International Fashion, Culture January, 2007


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, resort wear, swimwear, children’s 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 Venetian Carnival-themed opening event, a classical concert by renowned orchestral group I Solisti Veneti, a student fashion contest and scintillating after parties.



FTL MODA is a registered Florida non-profit organization. Partial net proceeds from FTL MODA also will be donated to the University of Miami Diabetes Research Institute led by Italian scientist Camillo Ricordi.



FTL MODA is supported in America by the City of Fort Lauderdale, the Downtown Development Authority of Fort Lauderdale, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Museum of Art / Fort Lauderdale, The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Greater Fort Lauderdale Sister Cities International, Miami International University of Art and Design, University of Miami Diabetes Research Institute, Go Riverwalk Magazine, Boca Raton Magazine, Six Degrees Magazine, Genre Magazine, Express South Florida, 411 Magazine, BocaRaton.com, FortLauderdaleBites.com, Fierté Cosmetics, Peroni Nastro Azzuro, Posche Models, Ocean Drive Models, Kashogi, Model and Talent Tactics Network, Fashion Alliance, Dennis Dean Images, 2 blond salon, China White and Antidote Productions.



FTL MODA is supported in Italy by Radio LatteMiele, Il Sole 24 Ore, Il Ricamo Italiano and the Consulate General of Italy in Miami. The event will be replicated in Sicily, Italy in Sept. 2007.



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.

Contour Day Spa Cancellation Notice

Designers, Models, Dressers,
First, I'd like to thank you for your cooperation and your involvement.
This past friday, however, I was contacted by the initial organizer and Head Mgr. from "Contour Day Spa" to let me know that because of permits and other legalities he was unable to complete all necessary arrangements to have the Holiday Party and the Fashion Show as set for Dec. 9th.
Although he was very apologetic for the inconvenience, he still wants to keep the idea, and work on it further to prepare the event for February 2007 with a "Valentines" theme.
I would very much like to keep all your names to contact you again in hopes you are available for the new postponed date.
Again, thank you.
Mrs. Adrian
