“I wanted something that was enticing, exclusive and original,” says Indashio on how he came up with the name. “And I wanted it to be exotic. I wanted a word that when people heard it, was infectious and they wanted to say it more then once.
“However, I didn’t realize the meaning of it until I was in Los Angeles granting a wish for a girl from the Make-A-Wish foundation that wanted to be a model. I realized how blessed I was. I woke up and said I am living the dream and that is what Indashio means.”
One of the more memorable experiences for Indashio is his April 2007 show at the Versace mansion, Casa Casuarina, in Miami.
“Versace is my idol,” says Indashio. “I get a lot of my inspiration from him. And being in the mansion, you could feel so much history there.”

The show featured his fall 2007 To Die For collection and was a huge success, with “more than 350 celebrities and Miami VIPs” crowding into the famed mansion.
The event also gave Indashio a chance to grant the shared wish of three young ladies through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The teenage girls were fashion enthusiasts with catwalk dreams, and got to attend a model casting, pre-show fitting and even close the show to a standing ovation.
The show also made national headlines when Indashio returned home and discovered that a $10,000 white chiffon gown did not make it back with him. “Kelly Rowland called and said she wanted to wear the dress to an event, but we couldn’t find it,” recalls Indashio. “It was stolen and we never found it.”
