On November 15–16, the third season of Florida Men’s Fashion Week (FMFW) took place at The Set, Miami’s most fashion-forward creative hub known for music video productions, high-end brand activations, and its distinctly modern aesthetic. The venue served as the ideal platform for a dynamic roster of menswear designers representing Italy, Colombia, Kyrgyzstan, the United States, Ukraine, Germany, Nigeria, and beyond.
Across two days, 25 designers, nearly 1,000 attendees, and more than 50 sponsors contributed to a milestone season that continues to establish FMFW as one of the fastest-growing menswear platforms in the United States.
This season featured an exceptionally diverse group of designers and brands, presenting collections across menswear, streetwear, tailoring, avant-garde, and conceptual fashion:
Luis Aponte, Kerron. R, Skybina Kateryna, La Magnetique, DrevelmaN, DOPE TAVIO, Kenneth “K-Bobby” Edgar, Rivesse by Ishan Sanghvi, Eyo Annang, Joseph Auren, Forplayers Club, SC Gulfstream | Soccer Miami, Feartheliving, Quintus, JUAN DE LA CRUZ, Tony Visions, VAL, Reside, Vlackbook, The Stephen Collection, Stephen Michael Oliver, The Room Concept Store x Juan Castillo.
Each presented a distinct artistic perspective, showcasing a global vision of modern menswear.
FMFW’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent was reinforced by an exceptional backstage beauty team. Representing hairstyling, makeup artistry, brow design, and beauty coordination, the following professionals contributed to the polished execution of the runway shows:
Alina Kuznevych, Dana Lekus, Tatiana Abaza, Maryna Vivsianiuk, Elena Zaborskaia, Veronika Zaborskaia, Iryna Druzhynina, Ilona Hradinaru, Anna Orlova, Anhelina Pohorielova, Valeriia Krepel, Solomiia Romaniuk.
Their work played a critical role in shaping the visual identity of every collection.
FMFW also featured a special presentation: Fashion for the Future, created by Ilyssa W. Zacchei, with Hair Director Juan Alino leading the styling team.
We consistently support initiatives that highlight and elevate talented designers from Florida. This season, a special place at Florida Men’s Fashion Week was reserved for Skybina Kateryna’s presentation. Her showcase was featured in Florida Supports Florida — a dedicated segment showcasing designers who represent the creative landscape of our state. This segment lies outside the standard designer selection process and serves as a recognition of Florida’s emerging fashion voices.
Kateryna not only presented her collection but also served on the official jury, responsible for selecting participants for the season. The expert panel included Anna Krank, Kseniia Ryzhikova, and Kateryna Frumina. FMFW received nearly 150 applications this year, yet only 25 designers were selected by the industry professional committee to form the official lineup for the November 2025 season.
About the Skybina Kateryna Runway Show:
This collection is a contemporary reimagining of knitwear, where handcrafted techniques become a bold runway statement. At its core lie body freedom, natural sensuality, and a dynamic play of textures.
The women’s line explores the theme of expressive femininity: chunky-knit mini dresses, lace crochet sets, and floral tops create the image of a confident woman deeply connected to herself. Boho elements and cowboy-inspired accents add energy and a sense of festival-style independence.
The men’s line presents a new interpretation of strength: red monochrome looks emphasize sculptural form, while multicolored knitted trousers create a rhythm and sense of movement. The man in this collection is bold, vivid, and open to experimentation.
The final looks turn the runway into an art space: decorative wings, light-reflective details, and fantasy-inspired shapes complete the collection as a story of transformation and creative freedom.
Blending boho, fantasy, and contemporary aesthetics, the collection proves that knitwear is not a craft of the past, but a material for high fashion. It is a visual statement about the courage to be yourself and about art created through hands, texture, and movement.
The show drew more than 300 guests and unfolded in a single breath — the atmosphere, aesthetics, and energy completely immersed the audience in a world of style and artistic expression.
The welcome zone was also a memorable part of the evening.
Lillet Blooms & Events created a striking floral curtain installation; Psychotic London filled the air with their signature fragrances; and DJ Atonik delivered an exceptional musical set that elevated the mood and shaped the rhythm of the entire event.
The evening also featured an art showcase by talented painter Kateryna Mariien, marking her first-ever exhibition in Miami — a significant moment met with enthusiasm by guests and media alike.
And there was more. During the week, the FMFW team launched a special fashion podcast where participating designers joined host Roderick Ramirez to discuss key topics in contemporary menswear — from the evolving aesthetics to the future direction of the industry.
At the closing of the season, Ruslan Ev, Creative Director of Florida Men’s Fashion Week, together with Valentina Varnavskaia, producer and co-founder, announced a major milestone: starting this season, the project is entering a new global chapter. FMFW is expanding its vision and launching an international platform titled For Men’s Fashion Week. Show operations were directed by Arnel San Pedro, the official showrunner of the event.
