Miami Art Week reached a crescendo on December 5th, 2025, with the highly anticipated return of Creativo. This annual gathering has become the definitive heart and soul of the city’s creative community. Celebrating its sixth anniversary, Creativo once again delivered a spectacular event, flawlessly executing its mission to bring together the worlds of art, music, fashion, technology and science in one electrifying venue.
This year’s theme was simply “Jump on It”, a lavish nod to the 30th anniversary of Ginuwine’s iconic 1996 R&B hit. The song is celebrated for its smooth, sensual beat and enduring popularity. Recently featured in the movie “Magic Mike,” it provided the perfect blend of nostalgia, cultural relevance and rhythmic energy for the night.
Held at a breathtaking waterfront home in Belle Meade, the energy was palpable, drawing approximately 750 guests from a highly exclusive list that saw over 12,000 RSVP requests. What makes Creativo truly special is the audience’s commitment to the theme. Guests arrived in spectacular fashion, embracing the cowboy theme with flair, sporting elegant variations of cowboy hats, boots and belts. The dedication to creativity within the crowd is a testament to Creativo’s status as a must-attend Art Week fixture.
Producer Sasha Bernier commented, “Creativo is where the collision of art, music, fashion, technology and science happens. It’s a true celebration of creatives and artists.”
The musical journey was curated by two exceptional female DJs who kept the dance floor energized all night. Jessica Mah from LA is a multihyphenate. Not only is she a successful venture capitalist and tech founder, but a sensational DJ. Mah unleashed her passion for music with a powerful set of EDM and electronic beats, filling the beautiful Miami night with intense, high-energy sound. Zuleika Najar, who moved to Miami from Arizona just over a year ago, is known for her unique, dynamic style. Z expertly blended EDM remixes of classic 80s and 90s hits with current trends, infused her sound with her signature Latina flair.
The highlight of the evening was a stunning doubleheader of fashion shows, marrying high-end style with heartfelt philanthropy.
Designer Cassandra Youngs showcased her luxury couture focused on making women feel exceptional. The show featured a particularly moving moment with a young girl named Isabella, a heart defect survivor opening the runway show alongside Eddah Wanyoike, pageant queen. Each couture piece by Youngs is made to measure and the show was incredible with one stunning gown after the other coming down the runway.
Isabella not only walked the runway with incredible grace but also displayed her artwork, which radiates a powerful message of love and kindness. Isabella says of the inspiration behind her work, “I can’t see the heart… but I can feel it.” The segment, which raised awareness for Isabella’s journey, was championed by Eddah Wanyoike, a contender for the title of Mrs. America, who used her platform to bring light to Isabella’s rare struggle.
The runway then transformed into a gallery of sartorial history with a feature from Janet Mandell, whose luxury boutique stores in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York specialize in ultra-high-end vintage clothing. 15 elegant women commanded the stage, draped in timeless pieces from houses like Cavalli and Chanel, with average vintage gowns valued at $20,000. It was a powerful display of fashion heritage and enduring luxury.
To perfectly cap the evening’s theme, rising Miami R&B artist Evans took the stage. With impeccable swag, style and grace, Evans delivered a soulful, captivating rendition of Ginuwine’s “Pony.” He also melted the audience with smooth covers of Justin Timberlake’s “Until the End of Time” and Ne-Yo’s “Closer.” His powerful voice and stage presence left the crowd, especially the women, utterly spellbound.
Guests enjoyed an array of delicious Mediterranean fare from Sufrat, including exquisite hummus and kebabs, bringing a delicious international flavor to the Miami night.
Creativo also extended gratitude to its incredible partners who helped create the sensory-rich experience, including: Barcelo Rum, Pink Sands, Lalo Tequila, Neau Water, Strega, Askur Gin, Helix Vodka, SWAF beer and Voga Italia.
Creativo has firmly established itself as an indispensable fixture in the Miami Art Week calendar. By continually evolving and embracing ambitious themes, Creativo consistently elevates the city’s creative spirit, forging a space where art, culture and spectacular celebration seamlessly merge. Miami’s creative community is already looking forward to their next event during the F1 race weekend.
