Floating Runway to Debut in Naples as SELVÁTICA Transforms The Perry Hotel Into a Global Fashion Stage

NAPLES, Fla. — Naples will take center stage in the global fashion scene March 29 as the waterfront at The Perry Hotel Naples transforms into an immersive showcase of fashion, music, art and philanthropy.

Branded “SELVÁTICA by Elsie in Naples: The Third Annual Beyond the Runway,” the one-night event is being positioned by organizers as more than a traditional fashion show — instead offering a fully experiential production designed to blend international glamour with a community-driven mission.

In a first for Naples, producers will debut a runway constructed across a hotel pool, creating what is described as the city’s first floating runway. Set against a waterfront sunset, the illuminated stage is expected to host approximately 50 models in a high-energy presentation designed with cinematic elements. Organizers say the concept brings a level of production typically seen in major international fashion capitals, marking a notable shift in the scale of events hosted in Southwest Florida.

Headlining the evening are television personalities Darcey Silva and Stacey Silva, widely recognized as the Silva Twins. The duo is set to present designs from their Beverly Hills and Hollywood-based brand, House of Eleven.

The runway will also feature three international designers showcasing collections influenced by Colombian couture, Spanish-inspired design and Italian luxury, offering a blend of global fashion perspectives aligned with Naples’ coastal aesthetic.

Music for the evening will be curated by DJ Jon, reinforcing the event’s emphasis on atmosphere and performance. Organizers describe the show as highly choreographed, where fashion, music and movement are designed to work in unison to create an immersive experience for attendees.

Beyond its visual spectacle, SELVÁTICA carries a philanthropic component. A portion of proceeds will benefit three local nonprofit organizations: Shelter for Abused Women & Children, PACE Center for Girls and Naples Woman's Club. Organizers say the initiative aims to celebrate women while supporting organizations dedicated to empowerment, advocacy and community impact.

Early bird tickets are priced at $175, with general admission increasing to $225 in March. Producers note that previous editions of the event have sold out in advance, and seating is limited.

Attendees also have the option to extend the experience into a waterfront staycation at The Perry Hotel Naples. A dedicated booking code will allow guests to reserve balcony rooms overlooking the runway, with the opportunity to view the show from above while enjoying dining at the hotel’s rooftop venue before an overnight stay.

Organizers describe SELVÁTICA as a bold and immersive production — an international-style fashion experience set against the backdrop of Naples’ waterfront, designed to leave a lasting impression for one night only.
