Stitch Lab will return for the seventh edition of its highly-anticipated pop-up shop at the Miami Design District from Friday, March 15 to Sunday, March 17. Since its inception, the fashion incubator has brought exposure in the U.S. to hundreds of fashion designers from all across Latin America. Their continued efforts over the years, both through e-commerce and in-person, have springboarded these brands to success in new markets, introduced U.S. shoppers to a whole new world of fashion, and, most importantly, supported the goals and dreams of the next generation of talent in Latin American fashion.
Stitch Lab will once again host its unique spring pop-up in Miami for three days with 43 designers, continuing its partnership with the Miami Design District as its official sponsor and host. It will kick off with a private cocktail reception on Thursday, March 14, and the consumer-facing pop-up will take place from Friday, March 15 to Sunday, March 17 at Paradise Plaza. In this edition, the participating designers come from Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, El Salvador, Venezuela, Uruguay, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Mexico.
“Highlighting the rich diversity of Latin American creativity, our pop-up shop is a vibrant celebration where talented designers infuse their cultural stories into a global style,” said Karina Rosendo, Founder & CEO of Stitch Lab. “We believe in providing a platform for these amazing creators to showcase their unique visions, fostering a community that embraces the richness of our cultural heritage.”
This year, the pop-up is thrilled to welcome Venezuelan actress, model, and internationally renowned entrepreneur, Gaby Espino, to Stitch Lab. Espino will attend the event alongside the brand WIN Fitness Wear, with whom she recently collaborated to create WIN x Gaby Espino, her line of athleisure wear. Other designer highlights include BRAVO’s Season 19 “Project Runway” winner and Miami-based designer Shantall Lacayo; Venezuelan TV personality and fashion designer Rodner Figueroa; and Renata Lozano, one of the top ambassadors in the world of Colombian fashion, who will be launching a special capsule collection tailored exclusively for the Stitch Lab audience to celebrate the opening of her first Miami showroom.
Stitch Lab is proud to introduce over 20 new emerging brands in their curation, including Apré; a Mexican fine-jewelry brand; Peruvian swimwear sustainable label NelBlu; Flabelus, a stylish Spanish brand that specializes in turning classic espadrilles into colorful shoes, and FIORI, high-quality leather handbags and accessories handmade in the Dominican Republic. Some of the fan favorites from previous pop-up editions that come back this year include: Las Sureñas; PAMPA, Adriana Fernandez, Goretty Medina, Sigal, and Mia de Dios.
Stitch Lab is honored to announce its continued partnership with Istituto Marangoni as its official educational ally and Modern Luxury’s Ocean Drive Magazine.
