In Russia and the CIS countries there is a stereotype that fashion is entertainment for the rich. In America, things are a little different. Of course, American women will not strut around the kitchen in high heels and dress like they are going to the movies for the last time in their lives. With them it will become and to the supermarket in pajamas to come. But nevertheless, fashion here is the most petty-bourgeois matter. Everyone can see, touch, and make something unique.
Miami is famous for its variety of leisure activities, including fashion shows. The lion's share of them falls in the summer and early fall, when they can be carried out practically anywhere, even in the open air.
Basically, beach fashion is represented here. It is not surprising, because Miami is located on the coast. Over one summer, Florida hosts over a hundred events of various sizes — from local designers and shopping malls to major international fashion shows. We will tell you about those that are definitely worth the attention, time and money spent on entering.
As a rule, European designers persistently ignore such events in the United States, as Americans supposedly do not differ in good taste. But it is worth recalling the same Ralph Lauren, as this opinion no longer seems so true.
In any case, this gives way to many young and eminent designers from the USA, Canada and Latin America.
