Designer Indashio Heats Up South Beach — And — South Greece!

Not every twenty-something designer can boast that they presented their collection in both South Beach and South Greece in a matter of just one week!

Well, INDASHIO can. First, the designer ascended in Miami during the Ultra Music Conference, where he showed his hottest designs of the season on the main stage runway at Miami Beach’s famed Funkshion fashion tents. Then, he jetted to Athens, Greece to do it all over at Athens XClusive Designer Week.

Talk about a “glam god!”

INDASHIO has dressed an avalanche of celebrities including Amber Rose,  Aubrey O’day, Adrienne Baillon, Denise Richards, Johnny Weir, Nicky Hilton, Shontelle, Vanessa Carlton and Vivica A. Fox, whom he was also judged by on Vh1′s “Glam God” — which he won (how fitting).

We’re pretty sure a few of our female readers just fainted from the extreme heat of this photo!

Okay, probably a few of our fabulous gays, too.

It’s those lips! …and the eyes! Okay, we’ll stop.

Super hotties Drake and Trey Songz performed an exclusive concert for 1,000 lucky VIPs to celebrate Kodak’s newest ad campaign, “So Kodak.” Pitbull, who is also on the roster of celebs supporting the new ad campaign, was slated to perform — but was a no-show due to an arm injury. (Hey Pitbull – you do have two arms don’t you? All you need is one to hold a mic!)

Rihanna has also been added to the list of celeb supporters!

The who’s who of New York mingled about the Best Buy Theater, including fabulous artists like Shontelle, Chrisette Michele, Busta Rhymes and Keri Hilson. Even Oprah‘s BFF Gayle King was seen enjoying herself in the V-VIP section!

With all these top notch names attached to the megabrand, MJ wants to know, are you “So Kodak?”

And Isn’t It Akonic, Don’tcha Think?

After the opening of Gansevoort Park, MJ and crew jetted to the private listening party for Akon‘s new album, “Akonic,” at soon-to-be-open restaurant, MPD, in — you guessed it — the Meatpacking District of NYC.

Clever, clever!

The party was so tight-door-tight-lipped that security required that all guests check their phone at the door so that no one would record any of the not-yet-released music!

Insane!!!!

Derek and Daniel Koch, twin owners of the restaurant space, hosted the party for Akon, his Universal Motown labelmate Shontelle, actress Chanel Farrell and many of NYC’s most notable tastemakers and media.

Akon’s “Akonic” is slated for a Nov. 23 release- don’t forget to pick up your copy!
