Miami Metropolitan International Fashion Week encompasses the rich cultural diversity that has shaped the city of Miami. By every definition of the word, Miami is a metropolis and a cultural melting pot. With many of the city’s inhabitants and visitors hailing from across the globe, the city sidewalks have morphed into catwalks. The founders of MMIFW wanted to present a centralized opportunity for known designers to expand their market, as well as give up-and-coming designers an opportunity to launch their brand.

May 2012 launches the first annual debut of Miami Metropolitan International Fashion Week. Featuring U.S. and international designers, the event kicks off with Day Wear, followed by Evening Wear, and finishing up with swimwear. The Spring 2012 edition of Miami Metropolitan Fashion Week will take place in the trendy LMNT Art Space.

“Kaskade’s signature sound is as unmistakable as it is beautiful; a combination of dewy female vocals,tough electronic underpinnings, and memorable melodies.” — Billboard

The New York Times may have called him the “new face of electronic dance music” in a recent profile, but Ryan Raddon, known as Kaskade, has been in the trenches of the EDM scene as an original recording artist and in-demand DJ for more than a decade. He has released seven studio albums, including his latest, Fire & Ice, scored nine Top 10 hits on Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay Chart, created chart-topping remixes for everyone from Lady Gaga to Beyoncé, appeared at all the major summer festivals, and has performed between 150 and 200 headlining shows a year for the last 10 years, building a name for himself as an innovator of the EDM scene as we know it today, which has opened doors for the likes of Deadmau5, Tiesto, Skrillex and more. In doing so, he has helped to lay the groundwork for a titanic musical and cultural shift: a post-rock EDM revolution that has captured the imagination of a new generation of music lovers across North America

Kaskade has been named America’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Times and Pioneer DJ. In 2012, he will appear at this year’s Coachella and will hit the road in June for his biggest headlining tour ever — 70-plus North American shows in just over three months. His own live show being a jaw-dropping spectacle that finds him performing in front of a massive LED screen that blares images synched with the music while strobe lights scan the crowd. Kaskade’s belief in the transformative power of dance music to uplift thousands of people at once has had a significant effect on the U.S. scene. His ground-breaking double residency in Las Vegas at the Encore Beach Club (which had not even been built when he signed on) and Marquee has elevated the city’s status as a premiere club-going destination on par with London, Berlin, and Ibiza, is another testament to his influence.
