In May 1999, the first Miami Fashion Week was presented to an international audience of buyers, media, celebrities and special guests. At this time, the world famous Venezuelan designer, Carolina Herrera asked the FWA organizers to create a fashion council to promote Latin American designers as international rather than folkloric. In September 1999 the Council of Latin American Fashion Designers, Inc. was formed.

Miami Fashion Week was created to provide a forum offering international exposure and promotion specifically for the designers of Latin America and the Caribbean with a special interest in establishing bridges and opportunities between the designers of this region and the world's fashion industry.

Guided by an international board of directors, the Council of Latin American Fashion Designers, Inc. a non-profit corporation will guide the efforts of Miami Fashion Week and work to promote the fashion designers of Latin America and the Caribbean as well as promoting international cultural exchange.
