/

By Katie Jackson Last night, fashion and art lovers gathered at Miami’s centennial to kick off FUNKSHION: Fashion Week Miami Beach, a five day event that provides a platform for up-and-coming and established designers to debut their collections. Classified as a noun, “FUNKSHION” is the fusion of fashion and art. Art Conductor, the creator of the innovative event, hopes FUNKSHION will leave attendees with an enriching and diversifying experience that embraces all of the senses. And, since March 2015 marks the one hundred year anniversary of Miami Beach, FUNKSHION is making sure to bring Miami’s leading designers, artists, and brands. Liliana Montoya, Original Penguin by Perry Ellis, and Cubavera wowed guests last night by debuting their collections on an 80-foot runway parallel to the ocean. The fun will continue throughout the week, with Miami International University’s annual fashion show tonight, a viewing of the new documentary Dior and I on Wednesday, and many more.   A full schedule of all FUNKSHION: Fashion Week Miami Beach events can be found at www.funkshion.com.

/

By Gisel Habibnejad Photography by Korey Davis Video by Alex Medina, Voiceover by Jessica Faroy Last Saturday, the Hausammann Gallery’s Wynwood location opened its doors to the public for the first time. The event was co-sponsored by MSM, Lolea, and Bastille. To celebrate, artist Fernando Carlo, Jr. (also known as Cope2), left the audience in awe as he performed a live painting session while his latest work, Power of Influence, adorned every wall of the gallery. The Bronx native began his career as an artist in 1978 and is internationally known as the founder of graffiti art. With notable collaborations with Adidas and Time Magazine under his belt, the Hausammann Gallery couldn’t think of a better artist to kickoff the start of a new chapter. Attendees included lots of Miami natives and even drew audiences hailing all the way from New York, who expressed their beliefs of Wynwood rising to become the new art capital of the world. The original Hausammann Gallery was founded in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy by Renato Hausammann. Today, the gallery is still kept close to the heart of the family as it is managed by the third generation, Beatrice and Federico Hausammann. With the help, of their mother, Gioia, the gallery keeps its traditional family values alive.  For more information, please visit www.hausammanngallery.com

/

By Angela Betancourt This Sunday January 11th from 11am- 4pm, The Futernick Family Art Gallery is celebrating the launch of the Natural Pastels Art Exhibit with an opening reception and brunch. The Natural Pastels Art Exhibit will feature work by more than ten South Florida artists that have used soft pastels in their creations. Ranging in levels of experience and individual styles, the artists will showcase a variety of pieces that include depictions of landscapes, animals, and still lifes. Guests will have the opportunity to explore how versatile and beautiful this art form can be. “The soft pastels were created by a group that works together at Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden. We admire and learn from each other as we use this challenging but vibrant medium. As a member of the class, it’s quite a treat to be exhibiting with the others, in addition to fulfilling my usual role of putting on exhibits in the Futernick Family Art Gallery,” said Suzy Breitner, Visual Arts and Museum Director. “Particularly gratifying for all of us is the opportunity to dedicate this show to a talented and valued class member, Terrie Newman, who sadly passed away a few months ago. Her work will be prominently displayed.” The exhibit is free and will run through February 21, 2015. All art exhibits may be viewed during programs held in the Futernick Family Gallery and by special appointment. For more information call 305.271.9000 x265 or email sbreitner@alperjcc.org.

A Warm Wave of New York’s Contemporary Abstract Expression— The Artist Zuz Delights Miami Beach Art Basel VIP’s

/

The room stood with anticipation as NYC artist Zuz (aka The Artist Zuz) unveiled her latest work Silk and Paper. The reveal took place at a special reception during Art Basel in Miami Beach at a celebration of her show made possible by Sriracha House. Part of the night’s excitement was the exclusive preview of Zuz’s silk sculptures – an unusual combination of painted textile, which the artist molds onto a wire mesh, forcing permanence on what is typically an esoteric styling of fabric. The result was a sensual display of undulating drapery topped with the signature painted line work for which The Artist Zuz is known. (Her work can be seen online at www.IamZuz.com).     Guests also had the chance to take home one of two sketches, which the artist created specifically for the evening’s affair. “I work intuitively in a style similar to action painting but I focus on resolving complexities in a way that is positive and exciting,” said Zuz at the reception. “That’s what I wish to pass on through the work and it was a pleasure to extend that vibe by giving something back to those who came to support my work.” Her colorful collection of sculptures and drawings is pleasantly positive in tone, a direct reflection of The Artist Zuz’s vibrant energy.     In keeping with the playful spirit of the night’s event, each winner was announced over a guest-given drum roll before they ran up to the front to claim their original works. The rest of the attendees happily snacked on Asian-fusion cuisine provided by the newly opened Sriracha House and basked in the afterglow of contemporary expression, as translated by The Artist Zuz. A successful evening for everyone involved and possibly even a sign of an emerging movement within the contemporary art scene.

/

Abstract artist, Blake Emory, used his signature style to debut his Zebra Love collection in this year’s Art Basel Miami. His artwork was showcased in Optic Modernism at this year’s Spectrum Miami. The pieces represent Emory’s discovery of what he refers to as “nature’s grand design” through a combination of fashion and “divine geometry” inspired by the animal kingdom.

Not only is Emory invested in his artwork, but he has also teamed up with Michael Alden, CEO and President of Blue Vase Marketing, to release a limited edition premium vodka in March 2015.

Million Dollar Listing Miami Series Premiere Party

/

By Sherri Balefsky on June 20th, 2014 Photo by Imani Ogden On Wednesday evening, some of Miami’s top tastemakers gathered in South Beach to celebrate one of the summer’s hottest new shows: Million Dollar Listing Miami. The VIP-only event was held at the trendy Pearl Champagne Lounge at Nikki Beach and was a chance for the cast to mingle with friends, family, and colleagues just a week before the much-anticipated series premiere. The show’s stars, Chad Carroll, Samantha DeBianchi, and Chris Leavitt—all impeccably dressed to the nines—were in attendance. And although this season’s trailer hints that there certainly will be some drama between the cast members, the three were nothing but smiles as they posed together for photographers on the red carpet. MDLM, which is a spinoff of the hugely popular reality shows Million Dollar Listing LA and Million Dollar Listing New York, follows the three brokers (all of whom are among the leading agents in South Florida) as they fight to secure some of the area’s most sought-after properties for their affluent and, often, high-profile clients. Be sure to tune in to the season premiere on June 25 at 9:00 pm on Bravo. And look out for our exclusive interview with Chad Carroll in the upcoming July/August edition of Miami Shoot Magazine.
