#001 ART BASEL 2024
Faith Connexion partnered with the Miami Fashion Institute (MFI) at Miami Dade College for Alta Moda, a special showcase presented during Art Basel Miami 2024.
The private event took place on December 4, 2024, at the Mana Wynwood Convention Center and highlighted the creativity of four recent MFI graduates: Edgar Aguilar, Steven Alvarez, Ariana Ishairzay, and Kate Perez.
Over the course of three months, the designers engaged in workshops and creative sessions with Faith Connexion and MFI faculty, developing exclusive collections on the Resonance platform.
The result was a unique blend of Miami’s vibrant street culture and the elegance of French craftsmanship, reflecting both the individual identity of each graduate and the distinctive DNA of Faith Connexion.
EDGAR AGUILAR
"I wanted to return to the brand’s core DNA of rockstar glam with an alta-moda take on it.
I added my interpretation of Faith and a homage to the Miami nightlife and the “It Girls” who rule the club scene and influence fashion in the 305."
KATE PEREZ
"Dark Florals redefines my floral aesthetic with a bold, moody palette. Featuring black fabrics accented by red roses and white orchids, the collection balances elegance and drama.
It challenges my usual light-toned designs, showcasing a fresh perspective that highlights sophistication and creativity through timeless, fashion-forward pieces."
STEVEN ALVAREZ
"Inspired by the iblical story of Lot's wife and the narrative of Sodom and Gomorrah, this collection examines faith and its promises.
The ''Triumph de Pomona'' print evokes timelessness, while structured corsets symbolize stability, reflecting the strength and commitment of belief-a bold narrative blending spirituality, history, and fashion-forward design."
