Funkshion Fashion Week Miami Beach (October 14-17) brought an impressive fashion lineup to a variety of South Beach venues. Funkshion Fashion Week Miami Beach kicked off its week of Spring/Summer 2010 Collections with a media party at Nicole Miller South Beach. Fashion shows were presented at the Setai Hotel and the Bass Museum. The first show of the week was A*MUSE by Richie Rich, which showed funky women’s fashions and men’s swimwear, brought the audience to their feet as Pamela Anderson closed the show. This year the Bass Museum of Art opened its doors for Funkshion and allowed their museum to be the setting for several of the shows, including Liquid Metal at Rio Soul.
