Icon Park Event Continues the Fashion Week Inspired Series Following a Premier Luxury Fashion Event at Four Seasons Resort Orlando 

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a fashion week inspired series that will elevate Florida’s status on the global fashion map, Florida Fashion Shows is hosting a fashion expo and two premier runway shows at Four Seasons Resort Orlando on October 25th, followed by a special event at Icon Park Saturday October 26th. With members of the press, local celebrities, public figures, wives of professional athletes and the city’s fashion elite and fashion influencers in attendance, the events created by Nayrouz Olarte and International Fashion Federation (IFF) are poised to make a significant mark on Orlando’s cultural calendar.

“Florida is the second most valuable real estate market in the country and it’s my vision to curate Fashion Week experiences throughout the Sunshine State,” said Nayrouz Olarte, founder of International Fashion Federation and Florida Fashion Shows. “Partnering with Wardrobe at Four Seasons Resort Orlando brings together the height of luxury and fashion excellence. We are excited to offer a platform where emerging and established designers can converge, allowing attendees to experience fashion innovation, while our event at Icon Park is all about celebrating social impact and philanthropy.”

Four Seasons Resort Orlando, known for its commitment to elegance and world-class hospitality, is the perfect backdrop for bringing sophistication and style. The first Friday show will feature collections by emerging designers, alongside international and Florida-based talents, offering a diverse range of creative perspectives. The second show, presented by Wardrobe, will showcase pieces from some of the world’s most sought-after designers.

“We are excited to be a part of this amazing event. As the curator of the fashion lines at Four Seasons Resort Orlando boutiques I am thrilled to showcase the fantastic brands we carry,” said Michelle Perales, Manager of Retail Buying at Wardrobe and Fable. “Our store is like a dream walk-in closet to experience — a hidden gem for locals to discover. This fashion show is a celebration of the beautiful collections and an opportunity for us to connect with our local community. It’s going to be a magical evening filled with fashion, fun, and a sprinkle of enchantment!”

Guests are invited to attend a Fashion Expo Pop-Up with doors opening at 3pm. Highlighting the star-studded day of fashion will be celebrity guest Jackie Siegel, Orlando’s “Queen of Versailles” who will walk the runway to open the show. Siegel’s fashion and retail line will be on display at the fashion expo taking place throughout the event.

Following the luxury shows on Friday, the week continues with a meaningful event at Icon Park where fashion meets philanthropy. The evening spotlights Glamour For Good initiative, an IFF endeavor that uses fashion as a platform for empowerment, inclusion and positive social impact. In collaboration with Nonpareil, a nonprofit that provides job training for young adults with autism, a portion of the show will showcase their students’ creativity as they walk the runway wearing their own shirt designs. Nonpareil was chosen to be the recipient of a donation provided through ticket sales.

Premium sponsors for event series include ADP, AZ Car Rentals and Build Ventures. Kait Doulou, founder of Build Ventures and a prominent real estate developer and general contractor will also take the runway, representing the collaboration between business, community and fashion and the impact fashion makes for a thriving city. These partnerships create lasting opportunities for those involved.
