The shows are geared towards designer diffusion collections and innovative lifestyle brands. Designers will integrate music into their shows, many personally selecting their favorite celebrity DJs to preside over their runway spectacles FUNKSHION: Fashion Week Miami Beach has harnessed the curiosity and support of established and emerging talent from the international fashion and lifestyle arenas.

This year we will feature new designs by designers such as True Religion, Adriano Goldschmied, Christina Ferrari and others. On October 13th at 9pm, music and fashion collide at Mix N Mash-- the official FUNKSHION: Fashion Week Miami Beach Fashion Show and after party fueled by Red Bull Energy Drink.

Hosted at Paris Theater, Mix N Mash is a battle of music and fashion featuring five designers from top Florida-based Art and Design Schools competing against each other in a runway show while simultaneously a DJ battle ensues between Little Louie Vega with Anane, Dj Dummy, Dj Irie and Dj Tabu.

Featured designers come from International Academy of Design and Technology (Orlando), International Academy of Design and Technology (Tampa), Art Institute of Ft.

“It's great to be here and showing spring collection. Miami really is the fashion capital, they say that it is New York, but really all the of energy is here, and all the new ideas are here, so I think it's good that we are here showing as well”, says Russell Simmons on Fashion Week Miami Beach.
