Savor SoFlo Festival – REVIEW
Savor SoFLO Festival serves up tasty treats, solid sips and lounge vibes on the sands of Hollywood Beach.
April 1st, 2023
To kick off April, the 3rd Annual Savor SoFlo Festival returned to the sands of iconic Hollywood Beach for a weekend of food, drinks and fun, while celebrating South Florida’s local culinary and hospitality community. Steps from the ocean, adjacent to Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, the two-day festival took place under two giant tents spanning 25,000 square feet. There, guests enjoyed a shaded, breezy stroll down the beach, with an endless supply of tasty bites and sips from mostly local, South Florida vendors – all using biodegradable or compostable materials to help protect Hollywood Beach and the ocean.
Savor SoFlo Festival included several insta-worthy photo set-ups, including a vibrant Patron Tequila Beach Lounge and a floral-draped bird cage in the Publix Liquors Beach Club. Interactive cooking demonstrations on the San Pellegrino Cooking Stage and engaging mixologists, brand representatives, and chefs also kept the vibrant and diverse crowd engaged. With multiple lounge spaces available, it was easy to sit down and enjoy the event offerings or take a break and recharge for more fun.
Sampling the creative and extensive selection of charcuterie pairings in the thoughtfully curated Boar’s Head How to Charcuterie installation was a can’t miss experience! As guests stepped into the space, they were greeted by friendly representatives who shared artfully designed samples and helpful tips to create the perfect at-home charcuterie experience. It was a great learning experience for developing foodies to hear about how adding different tastes to the mix can balance and accentuate other flavors, along with helpful guidance on pairing wine with each unique palate.
With so many great local food offerings, it’s hard to pick, but some of my favorite bites included Snapper Mike’s Fresh Catch LLC’s fresh home-made fish dip, a hot and fresh grilled cheese from Florida Dairy Farmers, a crispy and creamy baked pork dish with Annie’s Macaroni from Publix, and oven-fresh pizza of all varieties from Gioia Eat. For my best bite award, the Ahi Tuna Tostada with chipotle aioli, soy, singer, serrano pepper, sesame seeds and crispy leeks, created by Chef Pablo Salas from Lona Cocina & Tequileria, took the prize. Beyond the fresh food available at the event, many vendors also offered to-go samples – no one has space for all this food and drink at one event. Some of the best from this bunch included Craize Sweet Corn Toasted Snack Crackers, Orchard Valley Harvest trail mix, Bobo’s oat bars and Atlas Protein Bars.
There was no shortage of craft beer, wine and liquor to sample. Some crowd-pleasers included Margaritaville’s freshly made Passion Fruit Jalapeño Margarita, Coconut Cartel Añejo Rum paired with Vita Coco Pineapple Coconut Water, Tito’s Handmade Vodka fresh custom cocktails (I had mine with Blood Orange), an incredible Manhattan from Dickel Bourbon Whiskey and a delightfully floral concoction from 6 O’clock Gin. Since I was into the liquor options, I only tried a handful of beers and wines, but the selection was solid. Some of my favorite beers were from Tripping Animals Brewing and Funky Buddha; and Keel + Curley Winery’s Farm Fresh Strawberry Wine was excellent. Top nonalcoholic sips included Celsius Essential Energy Drinks, and, of course, Florida fan favorite Zephyrhills water.
In addition to the food and beverage options, tickets to Savor SoFlo Festival also included live DJ entertainment, a branded wine glass, lanyard and a tote bag. VIP ticket holders were invited to access the event an hour early and had exclusive access to the VIP Spirits Lounge. As the crowd swelled and the temperature spiked, lines still moved fast and vendors remained prepared and on point.
After 3 years of success, it looks like Savor SoFlo Festival is establishing itself as another can’t miss event in the South Florida foodie calendar. Presenting sponsors included Publix, the City of Hollywood and Sysco. For more information about this and future events visit https://savorsoflo.com/.

Miami Art Week Belongs to Art Hearts Fashion
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
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
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.
