If you’ve got enough acclaim or the right accreditation, you’ll have no problem getting into the right shows at fashion week. If you don’t, you have absolutely no chance …unless you know Miro.
Dressed in his signature silver suit, kitted with a Secret Service headset and armed with a troop of impeccably polished minions, Miro Kubicek is ready to take a fashion bullet for anyone important enough. Just ask Anna Wintour, the notoriously supercilious editor of American Vogue, who he saved from an increasingly aggressive legion of paparazzi at the last New York Fashion Week. ‘She joked with me and she smiled a lot… maybe she liked what she saw’, comments Miro with a charming lack of modesty.
Russian-born Miro grew up in socialist Czechoslovakia, but fled to West Germany at the age of 14 where he slept under a bridge by night and studied during the day (he now has a Masters in Economics). He started modelling – underwear – part-time, before six months of compulsory military training lead him into personal security. He immigrated to Australia with $1,000 in his pocket and no English. These experiences set him on course for his career in high-end security and VIP wrangling, an area he is beginning to monopolise in the Australian fashion scene.
Miro’s company, MIRo HoUSE is the guest management agency of choice for many Australian and international designers including Toni Maticevski, Collette Dinnigan, Max Azria and Calvin Klein. From greeting guests and ushering the right butts to the right seats, to consoling the damaged egos of those condemned to the back bleachers, Miro is fast becoming the undisputed king of fashion’s front-of-house.
