Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
So, one fashion week in town just ended, but another will begin this Thursday when Miami International Fashion Week kicks off. Yeah, it’s confusing, but this one has a $1.5 million dress. Uh, does that mean the recession is over?
Beirut-based designer Jad Ghandour and Danesha Luxury will present the creation, which apparently will have diamonds and 18-karat gold worked into the design.
“Our aim wasn’t to just throw diamonds and gold together and call it a ‘diamond gown,'” Ghandour’s design team told Stylist. “We wanted to create a masterpiece — a gown that would highlight the finest materials without looking overwrought and costume-y.”
The dress will be unveiled at 9:30 p.m. this Saturday during Miami International Fashion Week, which will take place in Wynwood. We assume a crack security team has been lined up.
