Good things happen every day, being rewarded for our work, and effort is an amazing gift and we can say that our crew in diligent, works in tune, works really hard and that makes a difference.

From My Desk...

Just to have an idea, we made the decision of being bi-weekly because nobody can sit and wait a whole month to know what is going on. So here we are, every 2 weeks we have a new issue, and we are very proud of it.

We are Brazilians and Americans making an effort to communicate, we have an open dialogue with our readers, and they enjoy the freedom. We have an Art Editor in Brazil, Edmundo Cavalcanti, our Art Editor in Europe, Suzana Jardim, and in America Coralie Curator of Jai Galery is our Art Editor in charge.

Jai Galery has been a great supporter of ABOUTUS and we are thankful.

As part of our program we are always tuned with our community as far as Brazilian manifestations of culture and costumes, one of them Soccer and World Cup, reason why we visited Vittorio’s Restaurant, Camilas and pao Gostoso to check the decorations and effort to give Brazilians a home away from home during the games.

We also asked the crew at Vittorios to show their love to the Orlando City Soccer Club, and Toninho our Embassador at Perfumeland and they all jumped into it ! Here is the photo on the right! we thank them for the support!

We hope you like this issue it is made to inform you and to show you how much we all have to give and enjoy in this great world. We are positive that one day everyone will understand that the environment needs our help.

Yoel Tordjman A ARTE RECRIADA POR SENSIBILIDADE DIVINA

Tenho a honra e o privilegio de dialogar ha alguns anos com este gênio da arte francêsa, que vive em Jerusalém. São os benefícios de usar a tecnologia que nos permite esse dialogo franco e global.

Yoel é uma pessoa sensível e acessível, talentoso e imaginário na sua arte tão concreta e real. As imagens falam por si e nas suas indagações navegam sentimentos profundos que nos permitem saber que nada acontece por acaso, pois a arte de recriar é responsabilidade de pessoas sensíveis.

" the fountain of youth " copyright Yoel Tordjman from the album :illusion

what did you feel when you start a new work?

I start a new work when i feel diving insie the present emotion it's can be any emotion it's a way of expression. I dont start a new work with any idea or concept I just close my eyes and then i "walk" in my albums and pick any picture from my library ( I almost make macro photography and keep them ) it's can be a small deatil or color or light and I start to paint on my screen until I find the expression of my present emotion.

What kind of reaction from observers have you received? Which one was the most intensive?

It’s impossible to say it because it’s the whole beauty of being human, with all emotions that’s make me cry many times, and when I read them, I have an autist that got healed from my works, depressed people, sick people, I have hundreeds of stories that make me see the beauty of souls from all over the world...

I choose a few impression and comments from people thorough this link.

How did you do? did you work with all kind of tech- http://www.yoeltordjmanar t. niques and technologies to do, because your work is com/#!what-peoples-says-/c141a so under de imagination...how is the format final of the work, digital or paint format final digital on kanvas, or paper?

I use all art technics I practice mostly of all during 30 years, in the last 3 years my base is macro photography and wacom pen on a big screen ( 40 inch) bit at the end it's maybe 5 % of the original photo i recompose it, coloring, deleting, adding a new art work from one detail then I print on canvas and over paint with ink, acrylic and laquers...

How is the marketing approach to your collections and to your work?

My last expo was in a museum in Jerusalem for the Bienal of Contemporary Art, 6 months ago.

I started building my marketing in networks and in return I had 80.000 comments, 180.000 likes and millions of visitors. In the last 3 years galleries and art dealers have discovered me at social networks, I don’t advertise, its like the impressionism revolution the public likes it...

What did you miss more? Desires, needs...

I miss all of it. I would like to share more with more people all over the world. A fan told me one year ago, that he wanted to comit suicide and after seeing my art work he decided to stay alive and to enjoy life until today, but it’s also a simple person that can write that she feels happy when she sees my artwork. I love the most simple expression of life from simple people speaking with the heart .... this is real art for me...

"the phoenix dance" from my album : transmutation.

You are really special and I am so glad I had the chance to experience these feelings about your work to show the universe, again, and maybe save some people and artists who are questioning about all.... you are incredeble, thank you.

"I will go by fire and water "

Would like to tell us more?

When I meet people at exhibitions, especialy children it fills me with joy to see the their eyes and faces contemplating my art, vision the life and to see the reflection in their eyes, it is an amazing gift. www.facebook.com/yoel.tordjman

The Choice of being Digital

The Hotspotorlando, was created in 2011, and since then is a major part in everything new, that affects our community. Based in Orlando TheHotspot has a unique relationship with the Brazilian Community, not just because we are Brazilians but also because we love the Community as a whole. A beautiful Diverse community with great potential filled with professionals of the highest level, that contribute direct on indirectly to the fact that orlando is a City Beautiful and one of the best cities to live and work in the US. As citizens we love this country and we respect the land, its people and the beautiful language. It is important to us to write in English, to get everyone involved, including Brazilians of third generation, that can’t read Portuguese, making everyone a part of what we do, and the work we like to share. But we don’t print, and this is our argument.

in the U.S. (2009) meant a loss of 95 million trees, generation of 126 billion gallons of waste water and emission of 73 billion pounds of greenhouse gases. Ouch!

• Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save 75,000 trees.

• If all newspaper was recycled—including the daily papers—we’d save about 250 million trees each year.

• About 65 percent of U.S. newsprint is sourced from ecologically important forests in the U.S. and Canada, including the Canadian Boreal Forest—a global treasure, the last frontier of northern forest wilderness. Very bad.”

It is important to create a believe, and what is right is right, nature must come first, we need it, to have balanced temperatures, cool breezes an a nice shadow to rest under it.

According to statistics, 500.000 trees Think about it ! are killed to allow the Sunday papers to exist! Just on Sundays! Imagine ! Help us help Nature and the world! we need to think about this! What would you pick? Trees or Paper ?!

Check this site. http://www.elephantjournal.com/ 500,000 trees must be cut down just to produce each week’s Sunday newspaper (all U.S. Sunday papers combined).

• In total, newsprint consumption

Relaxing in Winter Park-Florida

Winter Park is a very welcoming town near Orlando and has the perfect balance. Sunday Market on the streets, Art Fairs, Rollins College, boat tour on the lakes and also a small area where you can swim and relax with your family. It is right by Rollins and it also has a small reserve where you can photograph and sit thanking God for the beautiful nature he gave us.

ICONS:

Carlos Oviedo

By Coralie Claeysen-Gleyzon

A Solo Exhibition by Mexican Oil Painter Carlos Oviedo at JAI GALLERY On View June 6 – June 27, 2014 Vernissage: June 6, 2014 from 7-9pm Please RSVP to Director: coralie@jaigallery.net | 407.921.0693

Oviedo started painting as a child. He studied Graphic Design at the Universidad de las Américas, Puebla (Mexico) and went on to study Contemporary Art and the work of the Great Masters in the USA, where he found the motivation and encouragement to pursue his talent and further develop his technique. After many laboring years of practice, Oviedo’s work has reached excellence and bears the mark of true mastery.

The 13 pieces included in this exhibition are all drawn from Oviedo’s 361° series. In speaking about his work, Oviedo explains: “360° completes a circle. 361° is an art journey”: the result of the artist’s analysis and exploration of the techniques he once set out to master.

While Oviedo’s grid-based paintings are inspired by Piet Mondrian’s 1930s geometricCompositions, his work most certainly harkens back to Pop Art, with its bold colors, graphic lines and imagery reminiscent of Warhol.

Due to its core graphic properties the results are eye-catching.

Exploring the limits of realistic representation, Oviedo’s 361° series is an artistic discourse on the irony of the processed image in a world of duplication, retouching and photoshopping; and in a North American Art Market saturated with Warholian prints. Yet Oviedo’s technique also brings an interesting and important twist: the introduction of a most noble and notori-

ously difficult medium: Oil Painting.

Carlos Oviedo

CARLOS OVIEDO is a master painter born in Mexico in 1970 and is best known for his highly skilled oil paintings demonstrating perfection in realism.

He uses Old Master Ingres’ “Grisaille” technique (oil painting in shades of grey) in order to achieve a high degree of Realism, recalling the look of vintage Sepia photography. A return to a classic technique pushed to the highest degree of perfection, Oviedo’s paintings are delicate masterful originals.

Conceptually his work can be described as a study of social icons and celebrity culture. It is an exploration of icons so powerful yet so fragile at the same time. The fragility of these idols in popular culture is represented here in many ways. Elvis is shattered like a mirror.

Michael Jackson bathes in the balmy light of his tender years. Forever young. Johnny Depp and Kate Moss have many facets: some hidden, some exposed, some fake and some real, some implied and some imagined.

Oviedo’s lines create shapes that break up the image in pieces, which become reflectors of these social icons.

These reflectors recall the media surrounding celebrities, the paparazzi, the flashes, the photos by the million.

They also challenge the representation of self and identity of celebrities, and the many public faces they bear.

Marilyn seems to be asking “Am I real?

Is this one more of me?”.

Oviedo’s work is included in important collections across the globe, including the USA,

Greece, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Puerto Rico, and many more countries in Latin America. He is represented in Central Florida by Jai Gallery.

The AMP Group, showed their support to Mayor Teresa Jacobs's re-election, and mobilized the community to a fundraiser at one of their developments the Orlando Crossings Mall and attracted several members of the Brazilian Community, authorities and public figures. Photos By Anderson Barreto Mayor Teresa has been a great supporter of the Brazilian Community, and also a key figure in bringing to Orlando the attention of new developers, and businesses, generating new jobs and helping the economy. The many sectors of Orange County administration have been considered the top in the Country and that is not an easy task to achieve. This year alone a delegation of Brazilian government representatives, visited Orlando in order to learn about Orange County Emergency Services, considered the first in the world, and take to the capital Brasilia, the top lessons they have learned.

Mayor Teresa is a leader, that knows what Orange County needs, she has many years of experience, and carries her job with grace, enthusiasm and optimism. The AMP Group knows, as they were considered one of the fastest growing companies in Orlando in 2013, what Orlando needs. The support to Mayor Teresa Jacobs re-election is just a consequence of her successful administration.

Present at the event were the organizers, Pablo Rosenberg, Alejandro Pezzini, Anderson Barreto, Tony Andrade, Mayor Teresa Jacobs, Orange County Authorities, City Commissioner Samuel B. Ings, his wife June Ings and many guests.

We wish Mayor Teresa all the success and hope for her victory.

Community & Music What else can we ask for ? A night among friends and the pleasure of listening to great talents. Antonio Escapa - piano and Jo Cavaignac - Sax. All this at the Boheme Bar and Jazz Lounge accompanied by talented musicians, relaxing music, and rich conversation .In a mix of jazz and Bossa Nova, one great surprise after the other, desafinado, Garota de Ipanema, many great songs that set the tone in this beautiful ambiance.

The Grand Bohemian Hotel located in Downtown Orlando, is a trade mark of luxury, comfort, reuniting arts, great cuisine, and tradition.

The night at the Boheme was a memorable moment that we look forward to experience many times more. Brazilian Jazz is the best company for a Saturday night, in a place away from the craziness everyone offers, setting a mood of sophistication, that only the Boheme can offer.

At the piano Antonio Escapa, gave all a great performance, showing his Undeniable talent, Joaquim Cavaignac, on the Sax made us all proud and extremely happy to be present to such an excellent musical presentation.

Jo Cavignac as everyone knows is the CEO at Superstation Media in Miami , with a great passion for music, and dedicates his spare time to learn and practice every day, he considers himself still a beginner but what we saw at the show, already shows signs of a great talent, it was just perfectly tuned a beautiful harmonic conversation among talented musicians.

FOR ALL = FORRÓ For the Forro' fans, it was great ! For those who appreciate the Brazilian June festivities, even better!

I am a believer that regardless how old you are, to reminisce and bring back good old habits is a great thing. You should not live in the past, but revive the greatest things about it, will always bring a warm feeling to the heart.

Brazilianity a nonexistent word, is the closest thing to "the art of being Brazilian". Not everyone knows it, and it must be exercised with caution. Exaggeration may ruin the idea.

Brazil has a rich yearly calendar New Years Day celebration of music and dance everywhere, February is Carnaval, June and July several parties to celebrate São João , the saint that arranges marriages.

These gatherings are celebrated in schools, communities, city halls, with typical food, dances, games and costumes, an amazing treat to all.

September is Independence Celebration, October is Children's Day also a very religious celebration due to Saints Cosme e Damião, twin brothers still young, canonized by the Catholic Church and respected by many followers of the Catholicism, and Halloween-Dia das Bruxas.

November is Flag Day. Republic proclamation Day, and Thanksgiving, recently adopted due to the American influence, as well as Halloween. All this plus soccer, summer, and the habitual partying on weekends. We Brazilians are very special and happy by nature, nothing can compare to us.

When Master Nilson Dizeu decided to do a Forro' event we all knew it was going to be great! Everyone was dancing, and eating all specialty food! Hmmmmmmm! Great Night Everyone ! Now let's check the pictures!

The Orlando Music Scene

What's good Orlando. This month I'm super excited to share what I have been learning over the past month. I've been doing music for 30 years and the toughest thing for me was adjusting to the way business is handled in today's world.

South Coast Records was built on family and friends that did music and it kind of grew from there, so we hired a company to legalize our company and signing of of our artist to record deals.

I'm telling you this because as Indie artist there is so much that we need to learn about the business side of our craft. Out of all the different people needed to support an artist, it seems that the artist is the last one to monetize on their efforts.

The producer, dj, musicians, graphics, marketing people, studio engineer and everyone else tied to the artist gets paid except the artist. In order to monetize it's important that you start off by recording on music that you can sell. STOP MAKING MIXTAPES, you make no money from that, stop doing free shows, have merchandise to sell at your shows, own your masters so you can seek out publishing for your work in TV and movies.

Your career cost money and a lot of it, make sure you brand yourself properly so you can live of your music. Owning your masters, let's talk about that. You should always fill out a split sheet when you record to assign ownership and you need to be with BMI or ASCAP for publishing. There are a lot of ways to monetize your business but you have to approach your music as a business.

Take time to watch YouTube tutorial videos on what I'm telling you so you can better educate yourself on how to do things right.

Until next time, I would like to thank each one of you for taking the time to read my thoughts. Real Talk, Real Music, South Coast Records (SCR)

I use quality ingredients, have recipes from my grandma and my mom, I also modified the recipes sometimes to adapt to different clients and many of them whom I created myself, (I love talking about it lol)

Well, majority of my clients are Brazilian, but I also have American, Portuguese, Africans and even Hispanic clients, because I try to do everything in a way everyone likes, I believe it is working out.

I did some short courses and enrolled in a large NY school, but unfortunately I had to stop my classes because I could not afford it, but I work hard and by the end of the year I intend to open my Cafe Acaraje da Maggie.

SAO PAULO FC

Orlando City SC announced today it will host another high-profile international friendly this year, with the Lions set to face Brazilian super-club Sao Paulo F.C. on Friday, June 20 at ESPN Wide World of Sports. Tickets are currently available for purchase via Ticketmaster. The kick-off time will be announced at a later date.

“These types of matches are fantastic opportunities for both our players and fans to gauge our Club against some of the top competition in the world,” said Orlando City President Phil Rawlins. “As a Club, we have always embraced playing top international teams – and I expect the match versus Sao Paulo to be another great moment in our Club’s short history.”

Founded in 1935, Sao Paulo F.C. is one of the most successful teams in South America, having won numerous championships -- including 21 state titles, six Brasileirao titles, and three Libertadores Cups- the most prestigious international club football competition in South America.

Along with its success domestically, Sao Paulo has also done incredibly well on the international stage, winning three Club World Cups: two Intercontinental Cups, after defeating FC Barcelona and AC Milan, and one FIFA Club World Cup title after a 1-0 win over Liverpool in 2005.

Playing in the highest league in Brazil, Sao Paulo is one of five clubs to have never been relegated from the Brasileirao. Known as ‘Tricolor’ for the prominent three stripes on its jersey, Sao Paulo has also produced numerous Brazilian National Team players over the years, including Kaka and Rai and Leonardo, who both played in clubs in Europe and were champions of on the FIFA World Cup 1994.

Barring injury, star players Luis Fabiano, Rogerio Ceni and Pato are anticipated to be available for selection when SPFC travels to Orlando in June.

For Orlando City, the friendly will prove to be another viable test to gage how well the Lions can match up against some of the premier players in the game as the club continues to prepare for Major League Soccer (MLS) entry in 2015. In the past three years, Orlando has gone toe-to-toe with some of the biggest sides in the world, such as Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United, Stoke City, Fluminense and AS Roma.

As we come close to the greatest sports event in the world, Brazilians still are taken by the doom of protesting. What happen Brazil? Should we make the best of it and change the Brazilian image around? Everyone in the world expects Brazilians to be happy and enthusiasts of their soccer. Will this image of discontent change the image of Brazil to the world? What is next?

In a few days the biggest Sports event in the world starts. For the majority Brazilians, soccer is like a religion, where they exercise their faith, love for the country and throw all the energy they can in the most crucial 90 minutes. It is very hard to overcome obstacles like the ones Brazilian have right now, as it is almost impossible to forget that they have lost the World Cup of 1950 at home, a moment that destroyed their faith in the team and in themselves for years, until the World Cup of 1970 when they regain it because of the TRI-Championship.

effect, the economy, the government fraud investigations, the new laws and the Presidential election are just a few factors that are causing this great cloud over the event.

Every measure taken seems to have been delayed for too long, and it shows a last minute concern from all, and everyone is forgetting one thing.

Soccer is a game from the people to the people, it is all to the ones that work hard, everywhere to come to the games, and exorcise their demons.

They yell, sweat and cry showing who is the real hero.

The World Cup show should be for them! The people!

Brazil needs to remember that, we never fought a war, or got involved in one, we are peaceful, happy and proud. The giant must wake from the doom of anger and protest and shout for our team, for the glory, and show the world that no matter what we are one nation, that stands together, knows our failures but also our qualities. It is a breaking moment people ! Brazil needs to get together and play the game, show the world that regardless, we will be there for our boys, and deliver the best show ever seen.

It was and is a great obstacle. Added to the fear of history repeating itself, Brazil faces many structural problems, where the government has not proven to come across with solutions, and calm the population. Brazil is right now a teenager making demands and overusing the right to rebel, forgetting the Then at the end, wining or not, the peobig picture. ple will be ready to demand again, go to the urns, vote, change things but There is no doubt about the grandi- will not regret missing this important osity of the event, the protesting has moment. been going on for months, showed no

Reflections about the Games

Every four years we celebrate the greatest game on Earth, Soccer. The World Soccer Cup is an amazing event filled with tons of expectation that added to the celebration causes a wave of emotion and great preparations.

This year, Brazil seems to be a little weary of the idea of hosting the games, due to many political issues that should not be mixed with the sport, but here in the US we are getting ready.

Orlando is getting a double whammy due to the booming Tourist Season and preparing for the World Cup, but nothing stops this great city and great people. Brazilians in Orlando are ready. All major restaurants have a package available for the opening game event, decorations , food and Brazilian Team shirts ready to wear.

It is time to let it roll and this year we are blessed with 2 World Cup Divas, one from Orlando-Phoebe Vecchioni, and Patricia Costa from Cocoa Beach.

Trident Gallery Presents: "Dennis Flavin: Figures" May 30 -- June 29 Trident Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of figure paintings and drawings by Dennis Flavin. New and recent works on canvas and paper are displayed with earlier paintings illuminating Flavin's path from realism to abstraction into the uninhibited and confident expressive style which has earned him notice and acclaim.

After training at Vesper George School of Art and the Gloucester Academy of Fine Art, Flavin painted on Cape Ann for nearly four decades before his first public exhibition in 2012, which resulted in immediate attention from curators: a solo exhibition at the Cape Ann Museum followed in 2013, and subsequently his work has been shown at Trident Gallery.

In Flavin's best work from the 1980s and 1990s, strong colors and forms, gauzy layers, and nightmarish distortions threaten to subdue realism. Flavin experienced a breakthrough in 2007 when he began to paint "completely from [his] mind, not looking at anything other than [his] canvas." The freedom was exhilarating, and making art became an increasingly intense experience.

In this creative trance, Flavin and his creation mutually transform each other. Neither has independence, and there is no intermediating scene between the artist's creative engagement with memory, composition, color, and form, and his sensory engagement with the art surface.

"When you paint," says Flavin, "you have to have emotional feeling, you have to take risks... you can't hold back."

The new direction led Flavin at first into purely abstract paintings and then toward figure paintings possessing an exalted energy and expressiveness which his foray into abstraction seems to have uncorked.

The signature of Flavin's evolving style is a riotous abundance of color, which creates meaning and honors the subject by attesting with nuanced craftsmanship to its inner complexity.

Likewise, there is more than sensual richness in Flavin's thickly layered oil and pastel medium, which corresponds to a history of evolving versions of the figure, layers of experience that have built up a unique personality and work of art.

CLOVIS LOUREIRO

“

Sempre procurando mostrar aos nossos leitores novos talentos e técnicas nas artes descobrimos um artista que me surpreendeu pelo seu estilo e técnica aplicada em seus trabalhos, seu nome é Clovis Loureiro.

O universo colorido e fantasioso de “Clovis Loureiro” Por Edmundo Cavalcanti

Clovis Marcio Caldeira Loureiro é conhecido no meio artístico como Clovis Loureiro. Formado em Administração de Empresas e artista autodidata, nasceu no Rio de Janeiro e aos 12 anos já morando em Ilhéus na Bahia começou seus primeiros traços a lápis, incentivado porsua avó materna.

Sua arte foi fortemente influenciada pela pai xão e vivência junto à natureza, transformando a realidade em fantasia observando com o olhar atento às árvores, pássaros, borboletas, peixes e todo o mundo circundante.

Clovis nos disse que foi tentando transferir toda esta beleza para os seus desenhos em nanquim que depois evoluíram para a pintura em papel e depois para tela em acrílico. Um universo “Colorido e Fantasioso” em formas geométricas.

Em suas obras, retrata com movimento e magia a brasilidade das cores quentes vibrantes assim como as formas geométricas procurando sempre o infinito das formas e a combinação das cores, a marca registrada de seu trabalho.

A arte foi por muito tempo só um hobby que aos poucos foi se transformando em profissão.

Hoje é um pintor conhecido e tem participado de exposições no Brasil e no exterior, e seu trabalho começa a ganhar destaque internacional.

Principais Exposições: 2009-Exposição arte em nanquim Teatro Municipal de Ilheus-Bahia-Brasil 2009-Exposição Art Sans Frontiere-Suiça 2012-Exposição Canal Mil e Uma Noites-CuritibaParana-Brasil 2013-Exposição LivrariasCuritiba-ParanaBrasil 2014-Exposição de arte “Terra Brasilis”- Japão. https://www.facebook.com/pages/ Gallery-Clovis-Loureiro

“Minha maior alegria e satisfação é saber que consigo transmitir a felicidade que minha alma captava desde a infância através da natureza transformando em realidade meus sonhos.” Disse Clovis .

Fiquei muito curioso sobre seus trabalhos e perguntei sobre sua técnica: Clovis: Minha técnica é muito simples, trabalho com tinta acrílica e nanquim em tela e papel, executo meus trabalhos com lápis, preencho com tinta acrílica, faço os contornos e dou acabamento com a utilização de uma lupa, para melhor visualização dos detalhes.

Couture Watch and Jewelry Show 2014

By Patricia Costa

Ferragamo debuts 2014 collection at upscale event, including the women's distinctive Buckle series and the sophisticated men's 1898 Sport Collection The prestigious Couture watch and jewelry show has been the destination of choice for the luxury industry's leading designers, retailers, and manufacturers for over 17 years. This year, attendees and exhibitors were in agreement that the recently concluded Couture 2014, which took place from May 28 thru June 2 at the prestigious Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, was the best Couture show ever.

Couture has always been an essential destination for Ferragamo Watches. The well-attended show is the perfect place to connect with Ferragamo's sophisticated, upscale audience. "Meeting with our clients in the elegance of our newly designed space has been a supremely comfortable and luxurious experience," says Paul Ziff, President of Ferragamo Timepieces. "The overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic response to our 2014 collection, particularly for the new Buckle series and 1898 Sport line, has confirmed our very aggressive growth plans for this year and beyond," adds Ziff.

was derived from the iconic Ferragamo Gancino, this beautiful cloche shaped timepiece mimics the distinctive design of Ferragamo's new Buckle Collection eyewear. With its elegant asymmetrical guilloche dial and offset winding crown, the stylish Buckle Collection was an instant hit with fashion forward show attendees.

Ferragamo made sure there was something for everyone at Couture 2014.

What the Buckle Collection offered for the women, the equally exciting new 43 mm Ferragamo 1898 Sport Collection provided for the men. This sophisticated update of the classic diver wristwatch brings Ferragamo's unique sophistication and style to one of horology's most popular and enduring styles. This diving watch not only sets new standards for elegance and craftsmanship, it also functions as an ultra-dependable precision tool that is water resistant to an impressive 660 feet.

The Couture show is over for another year, but Ferragamo Timepieces will be back again next year. Since relaxed luxury is what Ferragamo is all about, it is no surprise that orders were brisk for both Ferragamo favorites and this year's new collections.

Couture Watch and Jewelry Show 2014

From R&B superstar Janelle Monae's spectacular opening night concert to Saturday night's prestigious Couture Design Awards, Couture 2014 was a resounding success for two of the world's top fashion brands. Versus and Versace had their best year ever at the well-attended annual watch and jewelry show, held this year from May 28 thru June 2 at the prestigious Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas.

Appealing to their young hip audience, Versus Watches put the focus on South Florida’s youthful vitality and excitement at their spectacular new booth located in the Wynn Hotel’s ALSACE 1 Ballroom. There was plenty of buzz about this year’s introduction of exciting new Versus Watch Collections celebrating South Florida’s sophisticated international style. “Orders were brisk for these hot, sexy new models,” says Kari Allen, President of Versace Timepieces for the USA and Caribbean. “Our new Key Biscane and Coconut Grove Collections are exactly what today’s young trend setters are looking for, and we couldn’t have been more pleased at how well they were received by retailers, manufacturers, and the fashion press.”

The well-attended Couture Show has become an essential destination for influential luxury buyers and retailers, which is exactly why the Versace Watch booth has always been one of the most popular destinations for attendees. “To many in the luxury industry, the words Versace and luxury have become synonymous,” says Kari Allen. “Few things define the allure of a luxurious timepiece better

than Versace,” she adds. This year, two new fashion forward Versace creations made their Couture debut. The spectacular Versace Day Glam provided a fresh new interpretation of the classic sports chronograph for the ladies, while the sophisticated Urban Gent wowed the gentlemen with its understated, elegant, all mechanical design.

“Couture is like no other place on earth,” says Allen. “For a few days every spring, this is where trends are defined and decisions are validated.”

The annual watch and jewelry show is always over far too quickly, but the lessons learned here are seldom forgotten. For Versus and Versace watches, the enthusiastic response from Couture 2014 attendees provided an exciting preview of the year ahead. The demand for both of these fashion forward brands was unprecedented. If the order books are any indication, there will be a lot more Versus and Versace watches on fashionable wrists later this year.

Gevril Group is the sole US and Caribbean agent for Versus and Versace Watches.
