In a world where childhood is increasingly shaped by digital experiences, the mission of Power of Zero is particularly relevant — and important. As the general sponsor of Florida Men’s Fashion Week (FMFW) 2025, held April 26–27 at the Hilton Miami Aventura in Miami, the organization brought a message that extended beyond fashion: a call to support the well-being of children as they navigate the complex landscapes of both online and offline life.
Founded in 2020, Power of Zero is an international nonprofit focused on helping every child gain the life skills needed to navigate a digital world. With 501(c)(3) status in the United States and charity registration in the United Kingdom (charity number 1191012), the organization brings together parents, educators, researchers, UN agencies, corporations, NGOs, and philanthropists under a shared goal: to create a world where violence, hate, and bullying are minimized.
At the core of their work is the belief that values like kindness, inclusivity, and mutual respect are key elements in fostering a safe and meaningful digital childhood. One of Power of Zero’s flagship programs, “No Bully,” seeks to address the serious issue of bullying and cyberbullying, which affects many children every year. Through their training, schools are helped to resolve a significant portion of bullying incidents, creating learning environments where more children feel that they belong.
At FMFW, Power of Zero presented a moving live performance that highlighted the emotional and psychological impact of digital violence on children. This moment of reflection stood in clear contrast to the glamorous energy of the runways, reminding guests — including over 2,000 attendees, more than 150 models, and 50+ prominent Miami influencers — of the social responsibility that is an integral part of contemporary culture.
The fashion itself was diverse and bold. The runway featured 25 designers from around the world, each carefully selected by a jury of industry professionals. The event also included a pop-up showcase and a special art exhibition by MOA Fine Art Gallery, where a representative introduced the “MONEY” collection by artist Victoria Unikel.
The designer roster was extensive: TENACITI, Smart Swimsuits, Idol Jose, True Essence, Profile Your Style, Eyo Annang, Anuruq Jaidee, DM20, Dress Club Collection, La Magnétique, THE WAY IT FITS, Dope, Hardcore Fashion, Ant1, Akimota, Kenneth “K-Bobby” Edgar, Vieg Yuro, Minibē, Mariano Moreno, Val, Verdict Still Out, Perfect Population by KL Allen, The Room Concept by Juan Castillo, and Nikoza.
Pop-up participants included Barzaga, JEMMA RUSSO, IAMUSA, Carolina Cruz Jewelry & Bijoux, Midsmarket, and Only Authentics.
The FMFW team also welcomed key talents who helped elevate the two-day event, including hairstylist Alina Kuznevych, musical guest ANOLIA, visual artist Artlanta, and makeup artists Dana Lekus (Lead Makeup Artist and Hairstylist), Ilona Hradinaru (Makeup Artist), Druzhynina Iryna (Makeup Artist), Liliia Dzyhivska (Worldwide Makeup and Hair Artist). Several jury members also contributed creatively, including designers Kseniia Ryzhikova, Kateryna Frumina, Anastasia Milovskaia, Denis Minyailo, Arnel San Pedro (Production Partner team), and DJ Atonik. The event’s vibrant atmosphere was captured through the lens of Jordan, whose photos chronicled both the grandeur and the intimate moments of the week.
Alongside Power of Zero, a wide range of sponsors and partners made FMFW possible. Strategic support came from Hilton Miami Aventura, with Global Beauty Academy GWT serving as the official beauty sponsor. Additional sponsors included Superlook.ai, DYNAA BEAUTY, Nutree Professional, Lifeway Foods, Edgar Entertainment, RUSA.fm, Smart Water, Dough&Soul restaurant, Artpicnic Catering, Lillet Blooms & Events, Argonaut Boats, Yacht Pro Group, Drink Spade, VUGA Media Group, Gossip Stone TV, XSELLER8, Mister Global Cuba, Unparalleled Productions, STUNT LIFESTYLE, Social Bird, Neau Water, Enke Systems, Bart4U, Miami Fashion Shows, Majorica, Leisure Hydration, Switch Style, Lazin Magazine, and Art Beast.
In its second edition, Florida Men’s Fashion Week once again showed itself to be more than just a style event — it was a platform where fashion, art, and activism came together, united by a shared vision of a more inclusive world.
