The event is set to be a celebration of Latinx talent, with the remarkable platform of SohoMuse teaming up with Estefan Enterprises, Inc. to showcase the visionary works of renowned designers Alvin Valley, Laura Garcia, Nabys Vielman, and Cesar Galindo.

These exceptional collections will grace the runway in the grandeur of the Guggenheim’s hallowed halls, offering attendees a mesmerizing experience that transcends traditional fashion shows.

To enhance the evening’s appeal, Los Rabanes and DJ Hex Hector will provide electrifying performances, creating the ideal backdrop for the avant-garde fashion displays.

However, what truly sets this event apart is Emilio Estefan’s and Consuelo Vanderbilt’s commitment to ensuring that all contributors to the show are appropriately compensated. This goes beyond the designers and models to include the often-overlooked hair and makeup artists working behind the scenes. This stance reflects a deep appreciation for the art world and fashion industry, emphasizing that creativity and hard work should be recognized and rewarded.

The partnership between Emilio Estefan and Consuelo Vanderbilt is a shining example of positive change in the fashion industry. Often faced with issues of inclusivity and fair pay, they have prioritized ensuring the financial well-being of everyone involved in their shows.
