Fashion Designer Oscar Carvallo-The 5th Annual Wine, Women & Shoes-Chispa MagazineA record-breaking year was set with more than 700 of South Florida’s most fashionable women attending the 5th Annual Wine, Women & Shoes (WW&S) presented by Sergio Rossi just a few weeks ago at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami. The fashion-driven event was geared toward women, and benefited the children and families at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. WW&S Miami was the highest revenue-making Wine, Women & Shoes event from more than 175 in the country, and our very own Romina Nabhen, Lifestyle Director was part of the committee who made this event possible.

“This year’s event was indeed record-breaking, and I cannot thank our chairs, Criselda Breene and Carola Pimentel, enough. Their support truly helped gather our community’s most charitable and fashionable women all under one roof for a great cause,” said Lucy Morillo, president & CEO, Miami Children’s Health Foundation.

This sophisticated gathering was emceed by seven-time Emmy Award-winner, Maggie Rodriguez, and included a fashion show by Oscar Carvallo Paris who presented his never-before-seen Fall/Winter 2016 collection and latest avant-garde designs. Guests enjoyed wine tastings, a luxurious silent auction, and shopping at the exclusive marketplace featuring unique local boutiques. One happy guest, Jordan Claure, won the “Key to the Closet” special drawing, featuring a Chopard ‘Happy Sport’ white gold and diamond women’s watch valued at $19,770.

During a special moment at the event, Alessandra, a Nicklaus Children’s patient and guest of honor, shared her inspirational story. Alessandra was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 10 and has undergone a series of treatments, including a painful surgery, to overcome her condition. She is now 16 years old, and with her spine aligned by rods and screws, she decided to transform her experience into a positive by sharing her incredible journey.
