VIP Cocktail and Pop-Up Fashion Runway at Gisselle Miami

From Turf to Catwalk

To kick off its inaugural Miami series, Fashion Meets Football hosted a VIP cocktail party and pop-up fashion show on the stunning Giselle rooftop, curating a night focused on appreciating the fusion of sport and style. A bold and kinetic runway served as the key focal point, where creators and athletes modeled one-off designs composed by rising and renowned designers, such as AKKI®, Gracie Hunt x wEAr by Erin Andrews, The Football Gal, (re)boot, Row Z, Juventus, and Adidas.

Olamide Zaccheaus Appears

The energy accelerated when NFL wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus stepped onto the runway, donning the Akki Labs x Adidas varsity jacket—a piece that creatively fused futuristic design with timeless sports heritage. Zaccheaus's appearance communicated what the evening was all about: a bridge between the two "footballs," expressed through fashion-centric storytelling.

A New Lens is Established

Beyond NFL stars, attendees and participants included Saint Harris, Justin Lin, Eliana Ramirez, and Leah Norah, reflecting FMF's diverse, cross-cultural roots. The adorned styles brought a fresh perspective to what sport-inspired fashion has the potential to be. More than just jerseys and games, FMF is about shaping the culture surrounding The Beautiful Game and elevating the voices who wear, design, and live it.
