Readers can find published reviews at After only its first year of shows Fusion Fashion & Art Week has knocked it out of the ball park. Designers, art galleries, photographers, and businesses agree the hard work, commitment and vision of producer Lilyana Eisele sets the Fusion shows apart. Last year 13 countries were represented in 5 days of shows and events spanning South East Florida. Included was a record breaking 500 model casting call and a special shoot day just for fashion photographers. The theme for the first fashion week was to harken back to the little known early beginnings of fashion weeks in New York. Accordingly, FFAW shows were held in an old 1920’s factory warehouse but unlike the New York shows this building was remodeled and safe. This year FFAW is taking an Eco and Econ 101 approach to making people and our planet a more beautiful place to live. Along with cutting edge fashion FFAW will also release several technological and lifestyle advances new to the market place. «The success and happiness of the people I work with is paramount period. I’m always looking for new forms of synergy and innovation so it is more of an experience than a show. So we have progressed quickly», said FFAW’s producer Lilyana Eisele. «I am very touched by the overwhelming support we have gotten and it is a great motivator.» The 2014 shows will be in November. Producers are remaining tight lipped about details as to not spoil the surprises in store.
