The 5th Annual Miramar International Fashion Show kicks off this Friday, bringing its largest runway yet to the steps of Miramar City Hall while raising funds for hurricane-impacted communities in Jamaica.
The city welcomed designers, media partners, and community members to a press conference on Wednesday morning at Miramar City Hall, officially previewing three days of international fashion programming for the fifth annual staging of the event.
Among the featured speakers was acclaimed designer Osvaldo Joya, along with image coach and Image Models International certified coach Diana Abreu, and Miramar City Commissioner Maxwell B. Chambers.
Chambers used his remarks to spotlight the event’s humanitarian backbone this year — funding the Jamaica Mobile Clinic Initiative, which provides medical outreach to underserved Jamaican communities affected by Hurricane Melissa.
At the briefing, Chambers stressed that fashion must serve more than spectacle, pointing to the event proceeds as a lifeline for communities still rebuilding.
Organizers also revealed standout event features expected to transform the city center, including a 150-foot open-air runway installed across the steps of City Hall.
What to expect this weekend
Attendees can anticipate:
- Three days of international designer showcases
- A 150-foot open-air runway stage
- High-energy entertainment and global design presentations
- Cultural showcases highlighting international style and community impact
Last year’s staging drew an estimated 400 attendees per day and 1,200 across the weekend, with organizers projecting even higher turnout this year.
Officials say the fashion event has become a cultural pillar for Miramar, positioning the city as a growing hub for global fashion and creative exchange.
