Joining forces with female designers & artists, fusing elements of fashion, art and humanitarianism in one space.
The Wonder Woman Initiative has announced their annual show at Art Basel on December 2nd, titled, “EIKÓN: The Transcendent Image.” EIKÓN, pronounced as i-kone, is Greek meaning image, figure, likeness, or representation.
As the concept of art changes with modern influences and media, the Wonder Woman Initiative brings attention to the most important art form—the human. Art, as a diverse range of human activity that involves the expression of creative and imaginative talent, very often receives more attention than its originating source. Through Eikón, the Wonder Woman Initiative seeks to immerse guests in a visual experience that draws attention to the woman form, also highlighting concepts of the diversity of the woman’s existence, experience, struggles, and triumphs beyond the confines of society’s collective understanding. In joining forces with women designers and artists who align with the Initiative’s vision, guests can expect a unique Art Basel experience that fuses elements of fashion, art and humanitarianism in one space.
Every year, Miami serves as host to Artists and galleries from around the world as they showcase their best work to the United States and its visitors. The Wonder Woman Initiative seeks to push beyond barriers in bringing re-definitions and a holistic understanding to the idea of art and the artist and on Friday, December 2 at a private venue in Wynwood, Florida, guests will enjoy live art installations, runway show presentations, musical/dance performances, Guest Speakers, and an awards ceremony.
Showcasing designers include VIP Queen Collection by Jennifer Nicole Lee, Mrs. Kays, I Am Eido, Sexy Sweats and more to be announced soon.
