Funkshion Fashion Week Miami Beach will celebrate its 25th season starting this Wednesday and continuing until Saturday with established, emerging and progressive designers who will present their collections to the media, celebrities, international buyers and the public.
The four-night event will take place at Collins Park on Collins Ave between 21st and 22nd Streets. To present their innovative style, designers will bring music onto the runways with guest DJs, live bands and their favorite tracks.

It continues with Lauren Ashley, who will present the new collection for LA GlamRock Clothing. And to close the night, Evrice Cornelius returns to put on a hip fashion show for his design, Casey Levan.
