Andrea Brings Dance Music Style to Markkit

EDM Markkit pm

 

Fashion and Music go hand in hand, and the awesome people at Markkit agree, which is why we are bringing you a new collection for all fans of dance music: The EDM Collection by Andrea Feczko.

As the host of Ultra Music Festivals around the world, I have sometimes an impossible task of finding clothes that represent the high energy of these Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festivals that also look great on camera. Meaning, they should be form fitting, brightly colored, sexy, and classy all at the same time. Oh, and they should try to represent the exotic locations we are in- whether it’s boho-chic Ibiza, super sexy Miami, or Far East Seoul, Korea.

When people think of EDM festivals, they think of tutus, pacifiers, and panda hats. I wanted to show that dance music culture and its fashion has come along way from the raves of the 90’s.

When Markkit approached me to do this collection, I was immediately on board… with A LOT of ideas. In hindsight- probably too many for an initial meeting.

The Markkit team and I went to downtown Los Angeles to hand pick the items I’d wear for Ultra 16 in Miami, Florida. It was kind of like living in fantasy girl world down there. The Fashion District is this little section behind the storefront shops where only retailers are allowed to purchase items. Translation: It’s not open to the public, making the experience that much cooler. There are at least 50 shops to choose from with every style, cut, and color pattern you could possibly want. I fell in love with these dresses; the color scheme reminded me of the beautiful Miami beaches and the dresses were high-end to represent the special Ultra brand: it’s the premiere dance music festival, and Miami is the biggest festival of them all.

Of course, these are great for a girl’s night out to dance to your favorite DJ – local or Top 100!

Needless to say- I’m so excited about this new venture!!

Captain America: The Winter Soldier World Premiere

Cap is Back!! And Better Than Ever!!

I first heard whispers about the greatness of Captain America: The Winter Soldier when I was covering the Thor: The Dark WorlCapAppleBoxd premiere for Marvel. At that time, only the elevator scene had been released, and, wow, was that great foreshadowing for what was to come.

This movie is absolutely incredible. It’s a 70’s spy thriller meets Marvel cinematic craziness. The utilization of handheld camera movements, mixed martial arts fight scenes, and a modern-day plot keeps this movie “grounded,” but it still has all the wit, larger-than-life characters, and over-the-top special effects that we’ve come to expect from Marvel movies. To put it simply, I’m seriously contemplating whether this is my favorite Marvel movie- yes, even above Avengers and Iron Man.

It was such a pleasure to be working the red carpet again for Marvel. The red carpet live coverage for the Captain America: The Winter Soldier world premiere was streamed on Marvel.com, Yahoo!, Zing Revolution, and on the El Capitan Theater billboard.
