Groundbreaking Social Network SohoMuse teams with Grammy Winning Producer to Create Groundbreaking Show for NYFW
Grammy-winning producer Emilio Estefan will unite during New York Fashion Week with Consuelo Vanderbilt’s
trailblazing social network, SohoMuse, to present the groundbreaking event “Latin Ignition – The Magic of
Fashion.”
On September 8th, hundreds of notable attendees will join Estefan Enterprises, Inc. In the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s Peter B. Lewis Theater for a presentation of the thrilling work of designers Alvin Valley, Laura Garcia, Nabys Vielman, and Cesar Galindo.
Followed by a performance by Los Rabanes and DJ Hex Hector.
The grand talents of all involved will showcase a movement that highlights the work of some of the most prolific
Latino artisans in the world today. And, to add to the profound experience, the producers will take nearly
unheard-of measures to appropriately make sure that each worker – not just designers and models, but also
behind the scenes hair and make-up artists are financially compensated for the show. Highlighting a deep
appreciation for the art world and fashion industry, Estefan and Consuelo are making waves during NYFW that
will be positively felt around the planet that dazzle with much-needed levels of inclusivity.
The Latin American market makes up some 18% of the population of the United States and therefore a
significant proportion of the Country’s creative energy. This all-Latin event aims to tap this talent and ignite a
broader appreciation of what Latin style and fashion are about.
Sponsors of the event include Family Office Association, Keystone National Properties (KNPRE), Known and
JP Morgan Chase & Co.
Last year SohoMuse produced “Ignite the Runway,” which featured fashion, music, art, and tech succinctly
woven into a tapestry of visual eye candy. Participating fashion designers included Victor de Souza, In Earnest
by Byron Lars & Sheila Gray, Celestino by Sergio Guadarrama & Kade Johnson, Argenis and Manuel
Tiscareno.
SohoMuse since its inception has supported the global community of creatives and always serves up
experiential evenings, online master classes as well as symposiums which showcase the multiple verticals of
creativity and topical issues of the modern world.
In addition, this November 6th, 2023 at the University of Miami career day event, Emilio Estefan will be the A-List
mentor aiming to highlight the creative industry and the opportunities it can offer, along with Transact.

Most recently appearing in an exclusive article in “Elysian Magazine,” Consuelo Vanderbilt was listed as one of
the most influential and inspirational women in New York City today. The American singer, composer,
songwriter, actress, spokesmodel, entrepreneur and philanthropist was born in New York and is a maternal
descendant of the legendary Vanderbilt family. Delving into the arts at a young age, she has been a fierce
presence in the industry for decades.
Carving her own path through her ventures in music and business, she has been featured in “Vogue,” “Town &
Country,” “Paper,” just to name a few that highlighted her many accomplishments. As a successful musician,
Consuelo has performed around the world and shared stages with such music luminaries as Vanessa Carlton,
Mya and Joe Cocker. She landed her first record deal at the age of 21, and later, founded her own record label
C&R Productions in 2010.
Shortly thereafter, her first four singles landed her in the Top 20 on the Billboard Dance Charts. Her debut
single “Naked” spent 16 weeks on the charts, while her follow-up “Feel So Alive” earned her Billboard’s #2
