Miami Beach, FL – October 6, 2015 – In celebration of world renowned supermodel Cindy Crawford’s new book, “BECOMING,” 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach hosted a cocktail party with Casamigos Tequila signature cocktails eighteen stories above Collins Avenue at 1 Rooftop. “Miami will always hold a special place to Rande and I. Every time we come back we look forward to visiting the new restaurants, developments, designer stores and more that seem to be popping up every day here,” says Crawford about her stop here in Miami. The celebration was in cooperation with Meaningful Beauty, Crawford’s skin care line founded over a decade ago with Dr. Sebagh with the goal of creating skin care products that contained quality ingredients but would also be affordable for any skin care budget. Each guest received a gift bag with a “BECOMING” bookmark signed by Crawford, a Casamigos Tequila t-shirt and mini Casamigos Tequila bottles in a burlap tote provided by 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach.

Guests included supermodel Cindy Crawford and husband and Casamigos Tequila owner Rande Gerber, Discovery Land Company CEO, Mike Meldman, supermodel Karolina Kurkova, Oribe Canales, Crawford’s co-author Katherine O’Leary, Best Buddies Florida Founder Anthony Shriver and wife Alina Shriver, Eunice Shriver, Casa Tua owner, Miky Grendene, Ugo Colombo, Dr. Melissa Lazarus, SH Group Head of Brand, Kane Sarhan, 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach managing director, Phil Dailey, Douglas Elliman’s Eloy Carmenate, Dr. Leah Glaser, Fernanda Domit, Susanne Birbragher, Pablo De Ritis, Faena group’s Alicia Goldstein, Casamigos brand manager, Kelly Irvin, Betsie Piussan, The Light Group’s Andrew Sasson, LIV and Story owner, Dave Grutman, WALL owner Nicola Siervo, Nobu’s, Alyssa Delgado, Southern Wine & Spirits CEO, Brad Vassar, Thea Andrews and Jay Wolf, friends visiting from Toronto, Mark and Ashley Wade, Paul and Stephanie Coffey, and Lara Shriftman.

“BECOMING” is a chronicle of American icon and supermodel Cindy Crawford’s life, in which she shares stories of her professional and personal evolution, accompanied by her most iconic images, as well as never-before-published photographs from her personal archive. On the eve of her fiftieth birthday, Cindy Crawford looks back on a super-nova career and remarkable life. Cindy describes her earliest modeling years and the process of becoming less self-conscious in front of a camera; her reaction when an early agent suggested she remove the mole that would become her trademark; and how her exile from a Chicago studio gave her the courage to “dream big”, move to New York, and learn to own her power in a business that has been known to infantilize women. Cindy also gives us an account of her entrepreneurial accomplishments, and shares her observations on our youth-obsessed culture. The reader will be inspired to read about Cindy’s determination to create positive messages about a healthy body image that she knew would reach women of all ages; her feelings about marriage and motherhood; her thoughts on this milestone birthday, and what she would tell her younger self if she had the chance.

Debuted March 2015, 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach sits eighteen stories above South Beach’s iconic Collins Avenue on 600 feet of pristine beach front. The hotel’s design is completely inspired by nature, from the graceful twist of driftwood furnishings to the ever-present sounds of the ocean and abundance of living natural material. Amenities include four ocean view pools, outstanding restaurants and bars including Tom Collichio’s Beachcraft, The Sand Box, and the lobby bar Tom on Collins, 1 Rooftop, South Beach’s largest rooftop pool and lounge, where guests can enjoy lunch or dinner while enjoying live music Thursday through Sunday.
