Fashion style and trend news and events have been occurring at a persistently frenetic pace. So what do you do when you haven’t posted in forever and your very busy and you just have little time? A picture ( i.e. video) is worth a thousand words!

 

To prime the pump, jump start the figurative battery … or get me in the frame of mind to start writing again I am posting this video of the Funkshion fashion show at Fashion Week in Miami Beach. A fun, up-beat video that shows what this music-fashion event is all about. Excerpts from the press release for the March 26-29, 2008 fashion show is below in case you haven’t heard.

(March 3rd, 2008, Miami Beach, FL) – It should be no surprise that a leading trend market like Miami Beach has proven a need for a fashion week to call their own. As with every year, FUNKSHION: Fashion Week Miami Beach, will fuse music, fashion and like no other city in the world could do.

During this charity show, super producers Cool and Dre will mix it up on the runway as they debut their clothing line Dirty Royalty.
