Designed on Purpose: A Bespoke Art Basel Gala Experience

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 wholistic understanding to the idea of art and the Artist. There’s an Artist in everyone, and our goal is to bring attention to the Artist as the designer of quality, understanding that when the artist's intention behind creation, invention, or design is known, its meaning translates even more powerfully to ignite positive change.

Designed on Purpose” is a multi-sensory journey where guests will enjoy live art installations, brand activations, designer presentations, live talks, and a finely-curated buffet that is an edible exploration and reflects the event's core themes while fostering a sense of community.

We invite guests to immerse themselves in an atmosphere filled with inspiration.

Highlights include:

• Live art installations

• Designer fashion vignette presentation by Dieo Collection and I Am Eido

• An exquisite wine tasting experience with Plinth Wine.

• An intentional artistically curated fusion buffet.

• Exquisite fashion moments: Dress to express your inner wonder, and immerse yourself in an evening of glamour and style, complete with artistic performances.

• Auction of collectors items.

• A premiere screening of "Designed on Purpose," a docu-series by the Wonder Woman Initiative.

About The Wonder Woman Initiative:

Since our inception, it has been important to stay true to our vision and mandate to see the woman's intrinsic power and value be amplified. We do this through our brand messaging, and also by curating inspirational live events and fashion shows to uplift women within the scope of community.

The Wonder Woman Initiative launched in 2018, opening with an inaugural award show in honor of 4 female survivors. Since then, the initiative has curated over 30 events that also span fashion week shows and include a ground-breaking inaugural Women’s Fashion and Design Week in March, 2024.

The Wonder Woman Initiative has also awarded over 50 women, sponsored designers, conducted skill-building workshops at women's shelters, and raised funds to help the underprivileged in the City of Miami, in Haiti, and in Nigeria.
