Style Saves
On Thursday, July 19th from 9 p.m. to midnight, Style Saves will host an exclusive event on the opening night of Swim Week.
More than 400 of Miami’s people will gather to support Style Save’s mission to “build confidence through clothes and give a fresh start through fashion.”
Style Saves was founded by stylist Rachael Russell who is excited to bump the event up a notch following last year’s success. “I wanted to do something relevant to my industry while giving back, “she said. “This year we are adding an additional fashion show and doubling the capacity. With a runway over the Soho Beach House pool, similar to what Saks Bal Harbour did with Rag & Bone but facing the opposite direction, there is going to be a big wow factor.”
