EMA SAVAHL

Ema Savahl. The name conjures visions of exquisite femininity, originality, confidence, independence and power combined with vulnerability. From provocative, sensual and seductive, to demure, pensive and a bit shy, Ema Savahl creations capture the essence of the women who wear them. Creator/designer Ema Koja considers every woman to be an individual work of art, who deserves to be framed in an equally original work of art. With her unbridled imagination, exquisite taste, keen eye for color combinations and attention to detail, Ema has developed a sparkling reputation among fashionistas and celebrities worldwide. Once you see an original Ema Savahl, you recognize it immediately, because it is truly unique.

Ema Koja, the creator and designer of Ema Savahl, was born in the ancient city of Tirana, Albania.

One might think that growing up under one of the most repressive communist regimes the world has ever known may not be conducive to sparking a career as one of the world’s most fascinating couturiers. Ema herself notes that fashion in her home country was, “flat, non-existent; you were expected to be part of the group, to embrace the herd mentality.” But she was blessed to have a strong relationship with aunts who were seamstresses, who passed on to her their skill as well as an inherent sense of style. Her father, who was a national legend as a volleyball coach, recognized Ema’s own remarkable athletic ability and instilled in Ema a relentless work ethic, uncompromising discipline and fierce independence.

The collapse of communism in her native Albania precipitated a family move across the Adriatic Sea to Italy, where Ema embarked on a career as a professional volleyball player. Ema’s athletically proportioned frame caught the eye of fashion industry insiders and she soon found herself in demand as a fit model for such brands as Blue Marine, PARAH and Off Limit. A shoulder injury ended Ema’s athletic career, but offered her the opportunity to plunge head-first into the fashion industry. She tackled the process with the same fierce tenacity that served her as a professional athlete. She studied pattern making, fabrics, raw materials and artistic design. She embraced change and adversity, treating both as stepping stones and blessings in disguise. She took a year to travel the world, to feed her soul with art, culture and beauty, ending up in the vibrant, multi-cultural melting pot of Miami, Florida – a city where delicate fabrics, exotic colors and fervent artistry were embraced and celebrated. Ema knew she was home.

Ema Savahl Designs opened for business in 1996 and has been making women look and feel beautifully unique ever since. And since each and every dress is individually hand molded or hand painted, no two are exactly alike. Celebrities including Katy Perry and Roselyn Sanchez have graced the red carpet in Ema Savahl.

FLOYD

Heglichs W. Perez, the artist known as Floyd, was born in Camagüey, Cuba and moved to the United States in 1999 after winning the visa lottery. With that opportunity the doors to freedom, prosperity and a world of realization for all his dreams were opened.

He studied theater in Miami for 5 years. And that theater experience has been intertwined with his artistic talent and made him a pioneer of the Motion Art, an expression that combines painting with music in live shows full of action, energy, pure joy and inspiration, where blank canvases come alive to the beat of the music that accompanies Floyd while painting, facing the audience thrilled to witness a creative process unique in its style.

His paintings are definitely influenced by the great Pop Artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein and Pollock’s abstract expressionism.

Floyd, The Rock Artist, a name his wife Rosy coined, is constantly evolving and experimenting on how to express the rhythm of different types of music. It’s a mixture of age and life experiences but, mostly people who set the tone, dynamic and revolutionary irreverent that makes Floyd, with his trademark red beard and hat, a unique artist. His paintings like everything else have evolved and are now wearable art through his design of hand painted women’s dresses and most recently a line of men’s sports coats which he unveiled during South Florida International Fashion Week.

SHARON OSP

Sharon Ospino, a fashion designer form Venezuela, and her husband, Abel, have teamed up as lovers and business associates to be able to not only create high-fashion and change the face of Miami with couture but bring integrity to fashion by giving back a portion of proceeds to children in need.

The details of making a handmade haute couture dress is one of what one would consider an art form and this is why Sharon Ospino is considered an artist. Located in the city of Miami, Sharon OSP brings fabrics from all over the world to offer her art of hand embroidered fashion couture to her discerning clientele.

Each piece individually goes through its own process of being made and is custom designed to each individual’s body for a perfect fit. From the design and inspiration of the dresses to each one of the patterns made, with the most exquisite fabrics cut to size and then sewn together piece by piece, the couture details are evident in the final garment when the hand embroidered “Applique” is added to top off this artist’s work.
