Lauren QuickThe Event: Farouk Cancun 2015 conference, Sept. 18-22, 2015, at the Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort in Cancun, Mexico.
The Details: Thousands of stylists, distributors and media from around the world traveled to Mexico for Farouk Systems Inc.'s five-day conference. Attendees had the option of partaking in three- or five-day packages that were set on the backdrop of the all-inclusive resort in Cancun.
Never shying from dramatic and exciting presentations, there were multiple runway shows and 60 models featured in Saturday morning's presentation alone. Styles ranged from wearable and sellable to larger-than-life and avant garde. The event kicked off on Friday night with a red-carpet reception and white party with performances by Flo Rida and Natalie La Rose.
The following days were jam-packed with education and exciting news from the Farouk team, technology innovations shared by CEO and President Basim Shami—and, of course, inspiration from Founder Farouk Shami.
