SWELL SUITS MIAMI 2011

This year Star Services was able to experience first hand the success of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week SWIM -the Miami event that showcases the latest collections in swimwear. Along with Ainsley Connell Management, we co-produced Swell Suits Miami 2011, the first All Male Swimwear Group Show to hit the runway presenting the collections of 3 designers: Naila, Olasul and parke & ronen.
Three designers one show! Everything had to be perfect and thanks to the countless hours of planning and the flawless execution of our staff, the show went off without a hitch! Our clients had the opportunity to showcase their latest designs in front of national and international buyers as well as media representatives.
The models were accessorized exclusively by our sponsor Randolph Engineering, a high end line of sunglasses famed for their extreme durability and classic American styles. At the end of it all, it was a great success. It was covered by over 70 different media outlets ranging from NBC’s Today Show to DNA Magazine in Australia. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE SHOW

MERCEDES BENZ FASHION WEEK

There are few fashion events with the international reach as that of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week (MBFW). It is produced in New York, Miami, and Berlin by IMG- a sports, entertainment, and media company- which by partnering with “the world's leading marketers and media networks” it has revolutionized the fashion world and has transformed MBFW into a dominating force within the industry.
In 2007, Mercedes Benz joined in as the title sponsor and in 2009, they renewed the contract: “Our commitment to the event’s success will continue as we officially renew our three year agreement with IMG to remain title sponsor,” said Stephen Cannon, vice president of marketing for Mercedes-Benz USA. Renewing the agreement is a sure sign that Mercedes Benz feels its investment is paying off.
An event of this magnitude translates into hundreds of hotel rooms, restaurant reservations as well as transportation and production dollars for the hosting city. "The Mercedes Benz Fashion Week has grown to become the most significant fashion industry event in Miami Beach and South Florida.  As such, it represents a significant source of income for Miami Beach businesses and brings tourists from all over the world every year” says Max Sklar, Director of Tourism and Cultural Development from the City of Miami Beach.
