Film allows us to step back and observe the underpinnings of an industry whose backbone is highly creative in many forms,” says Grace M. Castro, the Founder of the Fashion Inspires More, a Miami-based fashion-infused nonprofit arts organization.
The four-day weekend of events added collaborative educational exhibits, fashion and film workshops, and “Facing Fashion” a Community Chat Series, with guest speakers to address prevailing topics in the Miami fashion community, all free and open to the community. The women and youth component of the Festival, hosted by the 4Girls Foundation, included a screening of Girl Model-The Movie and panel discussion with 50 young girls from neighboring youth centers to address topics such as body image, modeling, and sex trafficking.
