One of the hottest brands in global fashion is coming to the city this weekend, thanks to Drew Marc Gallery. Award-winning Venezuelan fashion house Bracho+Bosch announced it is hosting a solo fashion show on Friday, April 25 from 6-9 pm at Drew Marc Gallery (2409 S MacDill Ave). Standing room admission is free, and VIP seats are available while supplies last.
The art-inspired Bracho+Bosch, founded by Amalia Bracho, began its rise to stardom right here in Tampa, winning the prestigious Tampa Bay Fashion Experience (TBFE) Face-Off before going on to stun audiences at New York Fashion Week. Bracho’s fashion house, which masterfully blends Venezuelan artistry with contemporary fashion, is preparing for its most intimate and artistic presentation yet in this remarkable solo fashion show at Drew Marc Gallery.

This milestone event marks the culmination of Amalia’s dedication to merging fashion with fine art, a philosophy deeply rooted in her father Gabriel Bracho’s artistic legacy. In unison with the popular Davis Islands international boutique L’Atelier, all designs in the fashion show will be available for purchase on the night of the event at the gallery. Plus, all of the jewelry worn by the models will also be available thanks to the Drew Marc Gallery trunk show, featuring 20% off all Julie Vos jewelry through May 23 (and a free necklace included as a gift with any purchase above $350).
Bracho+Bosch quickly becoming a global star
Bracho+Bosch’s emergence as a powerhouse for Latin American luxury fashion has seen the brand attain soaring demand in high-end boutiques. This Friday’s show is a rare opportunity to see the newest creations by the fashion world’s hottest rising star, and even be able to take them home.
Bracho+Bosch’s designs are also deeply influenced by Amalia’s mother, Velia Bosch, whose “elegant and timeless fashion sense” has been a source of inspiration for their brilliant young designer. Velia’s poetic writings, beautifully illustrated by Gabriel Bracho, are embedded within the brand’s collections, weaving a narrative of love, culture, and heritage into each piece. This unique fusion of fashion, art and literature makes Bracho+Bosch a brand that tells stories beyond the runway.
The evening also marks an incredible cultural collaboration. Friday night’s show will highlight two prominent Latino creatives in tandem: Amalia Bracho and Drew Marc, the owner of Drew Marc Gallery. This partnership brings together their shared cultural influences and exemplifies the power of artistic synergy within the Latino community.
The Bracho+Bosch Fashion Show takes places on Friday, April 25 from 6-9 pm at Drew Marc Gallery (2409 S MacDill Ave). Standing room admission is free, and there are VIP seats available for $50, benefitting Selah Freedom, a nonprofit organization working to end sex trafficking and bring hope to survivors.
Drew Marc Gallery is South Tampa’s new contemporary art hotspot
Drew Marc Gallery, a fine art and jewelry destination that first rose to fame in St. Pete’s Warehouse Arts District, just opened in South Tampa at the beginning of the year, and already it has received great acclaim.
Founded in 2023, Drew Marc Gallery quickly made a name for itself as part of St. Pete’s flourishing art scene, and this move to Tampa represents huge growth for the gallery and an incredible addition to South Tampa’s burgeoning fine art collective. The gallery is already a leading destination for contemporary art in the Tampa Bay area, representing more than 25 nationally acclaimed artists and offering a diverse collection of fine art and sculptures and design services, including artwork blending, interior decorating, and artwork hanging.
