History on the Rocks returns to West Palm Beach

Published

on

Raise Your Glass, History on the Rocks returned to West Palm Beach’s Yesteryear Village with its food & spirits tasting experience.

November 18th, 2022

Simply a great night out for food and libations, Yesteryear Village with the backdrop of twinkling lights and its historic buildings reimagined a typical adult’s night out. Those partaking on the annual event got to enjoy more than 20 stations serving a variety of light bite samples and drinks from local chefs, foods, farmers and local drink brewers. That combination along with live entertainment from The Brass Evolution Band and Victoria Cardona combined for some incredibly mellow vibes.

“This year we made a point to make the lights quaint and really pretty, kind of a Hallmark feel to it,” said Becky Brashear, Director of Business Development. “Each year we try to bring something a little bit different and exciting to the event. Just the assortment of vendors and seeing what they’re going to bring is really exciting, however everybody is always excited to try the mainstays, the retired Firefighters chili.”

“Four years ago, myself and a couple of board members came up with the idea of creating something that focuses on history with a food and beverage pairing to it, said Vicki Chouris, President & CEO at the South Florida Fair.

So far, those efforts have paid dividends as each year attendance has continued to grow.

Beyond the food, beverages and entertainment, visitors also had a chance to holiday shop at the Storm Tight Windows MarketPlace showcasing local vendors, specialty goods and items as well as the Village’s General Store. Special selfie stops were also available to create memorable photos.

Those that upgraded to VIP enjoyed an early 6pm admission, $750 table of 10, reserved table, specialty food/beverage gift, two bottles of wine per VIP table, unlimited tastings at food/beverage stations, early shopping in the MarketPlace and General Store

Miami Art Week Belongs to Art Hearts Fashion

Published

on

Five days. Four iconic venues. One production shaping the energy, glamour, and momentum of Art Basel.


December 4, 2025

Miami Art Week has been building momentum by the hour, and Art Hearts Fashion is clearly the driving force behind the excitement. After stepping into the opening atmosphere at Kiki on the River, it became obvious that the production isn’t simply participating in Art Week. It’s leading it.

But the attention now shifts forward.
Tomorrow is December 5, and Friday’s programming is positioned to become the defining moment of the week.

Friday at Queen: The Night That Sets the Tone for the Weekend

Tomorrow night, Queen will turn into a couture theater. The venue itself is already built with the kind of Art Deco glamour Miami never tires of, but on December 5 it becomes something entirely different—a stage where designers and creative houses will set the style language for the rest of the weekend.

Friday’s runway features:

  • Capristan
  • Merlin Castell
  • Mister Triple X

Each brings a distinct point of view: editorial elegance, sculptural silhouettes, hyper-modern textures, and that unmistakable Miami boldness that has become the signature of this week.

Once the final look walks, the night transitions into its second act.
The crowd moves to LIV at the Fontainebleau, where Black Coffee will headline a packed after party that merges fashion insiders, artists, models, and the kind of Miami night owls who never miss a moment of the city’s cultural pulse.

Friday isn’t just busy. It feels like the center of gravity.

Saturday December 6 at 555 Studios Wynwood

555 becomes the creative heart of the weekend with two full runway blocks.

8 PM: Luxe Ilse, Marible JD, Slay Swimwear

9 PM: Chavelis Playhouse, Hiromi Asai, Sharnel Guy

10 PM: Bad Pink, Idol Jose, Pia Bolte

Afterward, the night moves again to LIV, where John Summit takes over. Saturday’s energy is expected to stretch deep into the night, blurring the edges between fashion event, art installation, and nightlife ritual.

Sunday December 7: The Finale

Sunday closes the week at 555 Studios Wynwood, beginning with a red carpet and Talent Awards hosted by Talent Management Agency. It’s a celebratory moment, but also a showcase of emerging creative voices defining the next wave of Miami and beyond.

Sunday’s runway includes:

  • Divaska
  • Isabel Original
  • Carolos Pineda
  • Giannina Azar

Then comes the final chapter: LIV on Sunday, the unofficial but undeniable conclusion to Miami Art Week’s most in-demand fashion program.

What’s increasingly clear is that Art Hearts Fashion has become the gravitational center of Miami Art Week. It moves with confidence, curates with intention, and delivers the blend of artistry, spectacle, and nightlife that defines Miami at its best.

Wednesday hinted at it.
Friday will confirm it.

For anyone planning their next move during Art Basel, this is the lineup that leads the conversation.

Kiki Becomes the Fashion Launch of Miami Art Week

Published

on

Art Hearts Fashion turned Kiki on the River into a living fashion scene, complete with yacht entrances, dancing models, champagne-filled tables, and a crowd dressed to be part of the moment.


December 4, 2025

Miami Art Week did not ease in gently this year. It strutted in wearing sequins and a perfect tan, and it did it at Kiki on the River. Last night’s opening event felt like the moment the city remembered who it is. Art. Fashion. Nightlife. A little chaos. A lot of beauty. And a waterfront runway that refused to take itself too seriously.

The party started the moment the models arrived on a yacht. People actually gasped. It was theatrical in the best possible way. Lights on the water. Music carrying down the river. Everyone already reaching for their phones. Kiki looked like a scene from a fashion movie and the night had barely begun.

A Runway That Became a Party in Real Time

The dinner began with Greek spreads and Kiki Fries, which is the most peaceful the evening ever got. Because once the music shifted, the whole room woke up.

Mister Triple X sent out bold, confident looks that matched the mood of the night. Berry Beachy brought swimwear that felt like Miami sunshine turned into clothing. Diyanni Yacht Club showed pieces that looked even better under pink lights than anyone expected. The models owned every inch of the space. Some posed. Some danced. Some teased the crowd with little moments that made the room erupt.

Then came the platform moment. A group of models climbed onto a white pedestal and instantly turned the venue into a high fashion nightclub. Guests cheered them on. People got out of their seats. Bottles sparkled. It was impossible not to smile.

If anyone thought the guests would blend into the background, they were wrong. The room felt like a casting call for Miami’s best dressed. Linen looks. Metallic minis. Printed sets. Statement jewelry. Everyone arrived knowing this was the first major night of the week and no one planned on being forgettable.

Tables were covered in champagne flutes and bright cocktails. Friends leaned into each other for photos. Strangers bonded over their love of a runway look. People watched the show but they also watched each other. That is the real spirit of Miami Art Week.

Kiki Looked Like a Fashion Dream

The thatched ceiling, floral lanterns, and glowing lights made everything feel warm and dreamlike. The river breeze floated in just enough to remind everyone that they were eating dinner inside a living runway. Kiki’s signature glamour mixed with Art Hearts Fashion’s energy created an atmosphere that was part dinner party and part full fantasy.

It was romantic.
It was wild.
It was absolutely Miami.

The Perfect Start to an Over the Top Week

Kiki on the River delivered something that felt bigger than an opening event. It felt like a welcome ritual for the entire week. If last night is the starting point, the rest of Miami Art Week is about to get louder, brighter, and more unforgettable.

Art Hearts Fashion is clearly leading the conversation this year. A yacht entrance. A runway that never stayed still. A crowd that looked like it stepped out of a magazine. This is the beginning of a week that will be talked about long after the models go home.

And it all started on the river.

A Sunset Filled Evening at Copala Beach for the Daniel Dugan Swim Pre Launch

Published

on

Handcrafted details, warm coastal energy, and a boutique that felt like stepping inside an art piece


December 4, 2025

Miami Art Week unfolded another beautiful chapter last night with the Daniel Dugan x COPALA Beach Swimwear Pre Launch, a soft glowing event that traded the runway for something far more intimate. Held inside Copala Beach on Collins Avenue, the evening blended fashion, craftsmanship, and coastal artistry in a way that made the boutique feel like its own creative universe.

From the moment guests walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and personal. Instead of floodlights or booming music, the room carried the mood of a handcrafted paradise. Shelves held colorful woven pieces, each one a reminder of traditional artistry. Tables displayed symbolic beadwork, feathers, carved tools, and pieces that looked like they belonged in an exhibition rather than a retail space. Every corner seemed to tell a story about the materials, the history, and the communities that inspire the Daniel Dugan’s brand.

Clean, natural, coastal inspired and deeply rooted in artistic expression. His work always blends precision and calm and the boutique made his designs feel alive. It became clear that this pre launch was not only a reveal but an immersion into the world that shaped the collection.

Guests wandered through displays of handcrafted jewelry, natural pigments, woven symbols, and artifacts that felt like treasures. It was the kind of room where you slowed down and actually looked, because every detail deserved a moment. The textures and colors pulled people in. The lighting warmed everything. It felt like walking through a living mood board.

His pieces shone shelves lined with oils, beaded necklaces draped like artwork, and carefully designed pieces arranged with intention. Nothing felt commercial. Everything felt curated.

At the center of the boutique stood a musician in a flowing printed dress, playing a guitar with the gentlest confidence. Her sound softened the room and made the evening feel like a cozy gathering rather than a fashion event. Guests listened, swayed, and smiled. It was charming, authentic, and perfectly aligned with the brand. The music added magic. It created a lull in the usual Art Week chaos and invited everyone to settle in and just enjoy the moment.

A Reminder of What Fashion Can Feel Like

In a week filled with neon lights, mega clubs, and high drama runways, the Copala Beach pre-launch offered a refreshing shift. It celebrated craft, culture, storytelling, and a slower beauty. It reminded attendees that fashion can be rooted in place and memory, that a garment can carry a narrative, and that a boutique can hold as much artistry as a gallery.

Daniel Dugan’s collaborative collection felt right at home in this space. Natural. Clean. Emotional. Pieces created to be worn but also admired.

The event was peaceful yet alive, luxurious yet grounded, and filled with the kind of thoughtful detail that gives Miami Art Week its depth. Guests left with smiles, full hearts, and a sense of having stepped into a secret pocket of creativity.

It was not a loud night. It was a beautiful one.
