Inspired by the modern and contemporary artwork showcased annually at Art Miami, Montoya will transform a 2,000-square-foot space that’s located in the epicenter of Art Miami’s state-of-the-art pavilion where VIP collectors, sponsors and art dealers connect to network, entertain and host client meetings.

Sponsored by Mandarin Oriental, one of the most luxurious five-star hotels in the city, the VIP lounge will combine the sophistication of Miami, with the cultural heritage of the Far East — filled with rich, yet muted tones and exotic furnishings from Indonesia.  The centerpiece bamboo sculpture will entice Art Miami VIPs into the interior private seating area for more intimate conversations. A specially created bar topped with custom Indonesian wood will provide the ideal social setting for networking, whilestriking cowhide rugs will blanket the floor, accenting the overall décor.

“Since Art Miami exhibitors display high quality art work, I felt that it was important to give the VIP audience an opportunity to have a place that’s equally as sophisticated so they can discuss art,” Juan Montoya said. “I wanted this space to be unique — something that had not been done before. The statement pieces, furnishings and fabrics all beautifully complement the artwork featured at Art Miami.”

With more than 110 prestigious international galleries participating, Art Miami is a “can’t miss” event for collectors, curators, museum professionals and art enthusiasts to acquire some of the finest and most important works of art that the contemporary market has to offer.  The fair will include modern and contemporary paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography and prints from Europe, Asia, Latin America, India, the Middle East and the United States. Distinguished for its quality, depth, and diversity, Art Miami maintains a preeminent position in America’s contemporary art fair market.

“We are really looking forward to seeing Juan Montoya’s vision of the Art Miami VIP Lounge come to life, courtesy of the Mandarin Oriental, Miami,” said Nick Korniloff, Director of Art Miami.  “Art Miami is truly a venue that inspires artists, collectors and interior designers alike and that’s evident in Juan Montoya’s elaborate design.”

The call time was 6pm at the Setai for hair and makeup but due to the recent terrible weather and the fact that the runway is outside Xela was delayed until 9pm for hair and makeup since Red Dress Fashion Show was moved to show right before Xela. Once again showing the patience that must be present for a model’s job.

A close-up on the makeup for Nora Xela

The show finally began at 11 pm and went fantastically. The clothes were beautiful, the model’s were fantastic, and the overall show was a complete success. Easily my favorite piece was the final bridal look I walked for Nora. The dress was so intricate and overall spirit lifting, and the veil certainly did help.

Miami, October 18, 2011 – Have you ever been blindfolded? Experience the nuances of your other senses dictating what you areenjoying without seeing. Chef Adrianne Calvo, an innovative Miami-based culinary artist whose rise to fame has been accomplished through bold concepts and exquisite cuisines, asks you to TASTE, FEEL, HEAR and SMELL as she continues her highly-regarded Dark Dining series Tuesday and Wednesday, October 18 & 19 at 7:30pm.

Chef Adrianne’s Vineyard Restaurant and Wine Bar, the enclave that has become an epicenter of gastronomic creativity in the highly competitive South Florida restaurant scene, will serve as the host location for this sensual dining adventure. This highly regarded culinary gem tucked away from all the vapid South Beach scene, brings to mind Napa Valley and is emphasized by the Northern Californian décor and menu inspirations for the evening.

Step away from the norm and try a completely new way to dine that will heighten you senses, develop your taste buds and aide you to participate in uninhibited conversation with your date. You will be surprised at what happens when you know no one is watching.

The concept of “Dark Dining,” which enjoyed significant popularity throughout Europe for several years before its introduction in various major cities throughout the United States, has been defined as “a sensory overload encounter that maximizes the art of flavor by suppressing vision, and therefore creates the ultimate in dining experience.” The concept was introduced on a wide scale in the Zurich, Switzerland-based eatery Blindekuh in 1999, which was owned by blind clergyman Jorge Spielmann. European cities such as Paris, Cologne, Berlin, and Hamburg eventually followed suit and now boast numerous restaurants that feature this extraordinary dining alternative.

The Dark Dining format, which entails that participants dine blindfolded in a particularly dimly-lit setting throughout a multiple-course meal, has proven to be an ideal platform for the work of a chef that is already renowned for her ability to pleasantly surprise her guests and their palates on a regular basis with dishes that feature a succulent, and often unprecedented, combination of flavors. With their sight temporarily unavailable, Dark Dining guests at Chef Adrianne’s are able to hone all of their other senses in on their meals, considerably enhancing their level of enjoyment.

Chef Adrianne’s is located at 11510 SW 147 Avenue Miami, Fl 33196 for reservations please call (305)408-8386 or (305)408-8388 and follow Chef Adrianne Calvo on Twitter or Facebook.
