Azulu Colombian Fashion Now in Miami

Thanks to Latin American designers from Colombia and Brazil to Venezuela, Peru and Argentina, Miami has a unique and wonderful fashion scene in the US. That’s in everything from clothing and jewelry to handbags, mostly for women, but also for men. And now there’s a welcome new entry on the scene, Azulu from Colombia, that has fashion and accessories for women and men. It’s resort wear that works for day, the beach, and a night out, in fabrics perfect for South Florida. Azulu Miami recently opened two shops, one in Brickell City Centre and the other in Aventura, riding on their success in twenty countries worldwide.

J’Da – A New Favorite Boutique

This summer will be my third consecutive trip to Istanbul, now one of my favorite travel destinations (see my earlier review on the city). It was there I discovered the quality and design of everything from leather goods and towels to jewelry, fashion, and home goods with the added benefit of “affordable luxury”. Turkish designer and fashion stylist  Ceyda Avunduk brings it all together in her wonderful Palm Beach boutique, J’Day off of Worth Avenue . And one of the best features, her fashions and accessories go from day to night, so they’re ideal for travel.

Gas Bijoux For Men and Women

Gas Bijoux fashion jewelry or as they call it “haute fantasie” is like a cult. Women and men buy an item and they get hooked, going on to add to their collection over many years. I’m a new cult member, having made the difficult decision of which bracelet(s), earrings or rings to buy.  I got a man’s bracelet, too, for a client who has a bracelet collection. Though select pieces are sold at high end department stores, now there’s a dedicated shop to buy them in Miami – in  Coconut Grove.

Today and tomorrow only there's a  popup, The Poppy Caravan Popup Miami, you won't want to miss!Showcased are  a wide array of luxury fashions, accessories, home decor and gift items. Plus  you can combine it with lunch or drinks at the prime people watching lunch spot, Bellini in the Mr. C Hotel, or grab a light bite in The Bazaar Project next door and make it an afternoon!  The Popup reminds me of the trunk shows I used to love at the Pierre Hotel in New York that were spearheaded by Melissa Biggs Bradley of Indagare. As you know, I don't usually devote an entire blogpost to a popup, but I checked out the designers and decided it looks like it's well worth its own post.

Miami, New Center of Fashion

Miami as the center of the fashion industry in the US and a fashion bridge with Latin America. That’s the vision of Hakan Baykam, President and CEO of the Milan headquartered Istituto Marangoni Miami, the school of fashion which dates from 1935. Four years in the making in Miami,  from its close to 24,000 square foot base in the Miami Design District, it is already making things happen not only with several hundred students and mentorship of Latin American design weeks, but also, with events, a fashion show, and a cool shop to open to the public.
