We submitted the drawings of our\u00a0designs and they\u00a0decided to give us an opportunity to partake on the show,\u201d said Empress Miriam.<\/p>\n<p>Eight pieces from M&amp;M Royalty will be shown at the event, one of the biggest in the world of fashion. Growing up in their native Suriname, the sisters were aware of their black heritage and African history. They retained that consciousness after moving to The Netherlands which is reflected in their attire and Empress Miriam\u2019s music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pieces in M&amp;M Royalty variate from daily wear to haute couture. On the show we will offer our customers a\u00a0collection that is modern but has been influenced by native, indigenous and ancient royalty. The audience we are seeking are men and women from\u00a0from all ages. Our collection is very broad and offers different possibilities,\u201d said Empress Miriam Simone.<\/p>\n<p>A recording artist for over 12 years, she has worked with several Jamaican acts and producers including Capleton and Bobby Digital.
