Miami Hotel Blogger Employee Apparel Fashion Show

The Latest in Corporate Apparel Presented by Cintas

August 14, 2018

Hotel employee fashion runway show

This month, I had the pleasure of attending the FRLA Marketing + Operations Summit held at Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa. I was invited by Cintas Corporation to check out the latest fashion in corporate apparel. I will be honest, I didn’t know what to expect at this summit. FRLA or The Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association is Florida’s premier non-profit hospitality industry trade association. I went to this summit with an open mind and was absolutely amazed by what Cintas had to present.

Cintas provides employee apparel services to businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and corporate offices. The firm specializes in the latest designs and manufactures corporate identity uniform programs. This year Cintas presented some of the upcoming designs with Miami in mind. I fell in love with all the chic designs by Gustavo Alonso. I also had the pleasure of doing a short interview with him and learned a lot about his process of designing gorgeous and functional corporate apparel.

With Cintas fashion designer Gustavo Alonso.

Q. Can you tell me a little bit about where you get your inspiration from?

Gustavo: I get my inspiration pretty much from everywhere. I get inspired by art, architecture, my culture. But one thing they all have in common in today’s show is color – which comes from Miami.

Q. I noticed a lot of yellow and prints, which took me by surprise. It’s such a fashion-forward trend for employee apparel. Are hotels and restaurants requesting more trendy attire?

Gustavo: Actually yes, we cater to customer’s specific theme they want and we customize around that. A lot of the stuff you’ve seen today like the prints and colors are our fabric and I like to make clothes that just make you smile.

Q. Can you share your background on how you started your design journey?

Gustavo: I started at Cintas about five years ago. Before that, I went to a design school in Miami – The Art Institute. And before that, I was in the Marines for eight years. I always loved shopping and clothes and when I saw the ad for my school I just went for it. And everything just fell into place and now I’m working with Cintas.

Q. The looks we saw today, was it specifically for the Miami market?

Gustavo: The looks were definitely more resort style, but I don’t like to segment the designs only because you will see some of these designs in other markets. We want to create looks based on the hotel or restaurant’s needs. We also want to make apparels that an employee can wear to work and then maybe wear to a nice dinner or at a lounge right after. The new trend is definitely shifting towards garments that employees will wear even after work.

Check out some of the Cintas designs below that caught my eye. Get ready to notice all the fashionable attire the employees wear at your favorite hotels and restaurants. Hotel restaurant apparel for host

I tried to put into words how I feel about the @T I tried to put into words how I feel about the @ToyotaUSA 2021 Highlander Hybrid Limited 🥰 There's a new blog post - link in bio. Let's just say the staycation at @hotelmarencurio with the Toyota team and all the other amazing Florida bloggers now has officially become one of my most memorable weekends of 2021! Flip through my favorite photos from this trip (more photos at chicstylista.com). 

If you have any questions about the #Highlander, feel free to dm me. 

We also had the opportunity to help our community by doing a beach and park cleanup at Hugh Taylor Birch Park @friendsofbirch. It felt amazing to give back by cleaning the park surrounded by some beautiful souls. 

Thank you Toyota Team and @localtoyotadealers for this wonderful experience.

Just look through the photos to see what we had. My absolute favorites were the Ceviche Al Olivo, Ebi Roll Special, and the Tiradito Nikkei. You can find Sokai at four different locations: Doral, Flagler, The Falls, and Kendall. Bonus - every Friday at the Falls location they have live music. Btw, go check out their menu online! We had such a hard time choosing! 🍣 @zamoragroup
