Three Favorite Art Pieces from Art Basel, Miami Beach
It’s no secret that FIJI Water is a huge supporter of the arts, so sponsoring the prestigious Art Basel Miami Beach was a no-brainer. Not only was there a magnificent selection of top galleries throughout the four-day affair but also special exhibitions and parties that showcased architecture and music. As the sister event to the original, Swiss-based Art Basel (often called the “Olympics of the Art World”), the Miami Beach event is easily the United States’ most important art show. Since its stateside inception in 2002, the event has attracted a sophisticated and eclectic crowd, ranging from art connoisseur Steve Wynn (rumored to have purchased a Rembrandt) and buddy Sylvester Stallone to the casually dressed Lance Armstrong, who casually chatted up the crowd in a baseball cap and jeans.

After NY Fashion Week and Marc Jacobs, We’re Hydrated and Tired!
What an incredible experience FIJI Water had at NY Fashion Week this season!
The show was a huge success.
FIJI Water was enjoyed at more than 50 events during the week, including shows from Marc Jacobs, Cynthia Rowley, Zac Posen, Luca Luca, Alexander Wang, Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto, Thom Browne, and many more. Models, stylists, production crew, PR people, and guests could all be seen carrying FIJI Water’s square bottles and enjoying what’s inside them. We received calls on our cell phones from panicked designer reps if our deliveries were even a little bit late, all with the same, “The models need FIJI Water!” You’d think it was an emergency.
