On Sunday March 27th 2022, “Rebirth and Beloved Edition 1” was born. A SOFT launch occurred for the upcoming 3rd Year of Miami Modest Fashion Week while echoing an awareness and charity event towards HUMANITY dedicated to the UKRAINIAN People via their collaboration with The Third Wave Volunteers.

The event coincided with the Miami Ultra Music Festival, in Biscayne Bay Park in downtown Miami. The concert was packed with over 150,000 fans from all over the world. “Keep in mind that Ultra Miami Music is very much a “no-judgment zone”,and with that being said, wearing what makes them feel comfortable is key, especially considering the Miami heat and a full day of dancing. “ reported BY NICOLE PEPE via WeRAVEYOU Miami is The American Rivera. Because it is known as a skin revealing city, the less skin revealing fashion by Miami Modest Fashion Week in 2019 was unexpected by most. However, those who take the time to understand Miami Modest Fashion Week will realize that there are deeper meanings in this unique and innovative FAITH VALUE FASHION Concept that has many opportunities to be explored.
