Unveiling The Luxurious Fusion: How Furla Made Waves at Miami Swim Week

Creating an unforgettable experience at Miami Swim Week is a significant challenge. The goal is not just to showcase the luxury fashion brand Furla, but also to forge deep connections with attendees. This was made possible through a collaboration with Funkshion Production, skillfully directed by (me :))Luisa Larez, Lara Lopez and Natalja Dedic Stojanovic. Together, we created an event that masterfully blended brand activation and influencer marketing at the stunning Soho Beach House in Miami Beach.

Furla aimed to celebrate its iconic Italian handbag brand while encapsulating the vibrant atmosphere of spring in Tuscany. Every element of the event—from the decor to the menu—was designed to reflect the rich colors and flavors of the Italian countryside, transforming the gathering into a sensory delight.

As influencers arrived, they were immersed in an elegant atmosphere filled with style and charm, a perfect reflection of Miami’s lively social scene.

A Taste of Tuscany

The Tuscan inspiration was more than visual; it was a culinary journey. The menu featured exquisite dishes such as Pici Cacio e Pepe—a traditional handmade pasta—in addition to fresh Caprese salad and rich Tuscan wines, transporting guests to Italy with every bite. It was a reminder that Furla values not just fashion but the complete enjoyment of life.

Thoughtfully designed floral arrangements complemented the menu, using vibrant colors similar to those in Furla's spring collection. This attention to detail created a cohesive experience that was both immersive and entertaining for guests.
