What makes this first week of December so thrilling for those of us in Miami is that it marks the complete infusion of art, culture, fashion, and design with retail.
Last night was the kick off to Design Miami’s F-Factory at the Moore Building, which included a powerhouse line-up of high-end fashion houses which set up shop to showcase their limited-edition retail projects.
Since we geographically-lucky Fine Girls were there, we are bringing you the highlights from some of our favorites!
Fendi
Fendi is serving as the anchor tenant, and the brand debuted its limited edition design ‘Needle Point Stitch Kit’ created by Silvia Venturini Fendi. Each basic canvas comes with guideline drawings and string – in a variety of color – allowing the consumer to customize and stitch her own bag.
Also on display was one of the six custom-made Gibson guitars Fendi has made in collaboration with Mortiz Waldemeyer, which the band OK GO will be playing daily sets with.
Ps- the Guitars also project lights on the walls when played.

Christopher Ross Then there was Christopher Ross, whose collection of gold and silver animal belt buckles were all made from the original antique molds owned (and hand signed) by Mr. Ross himself. The buckles were also shown alongside a documentary about his collection of historical art and other collectors pieces from his travels.
Stubbs & Wootton
The ultimate in lux-footwear for ladies that lunch and men of
leisure. Founded in 1993 and intended for indoor use, Stubbs & Wootton presented its best collection of slippers...which have become iconic of outdoor use as well.

The name is Quinn. Duncan Quinn. We have an inkling that Mr. Quinn appreciates a white dinner jacket and has a taste for danger because his ready to wear store, with numerious special editions, included a plethora or handmade suits, shirts and ties and more than a few vintage-Aston Martins, a Connery 007-era portrait, and some truly fabulous t-shirts with the Queen printed on them. Needless to say, we had quite the time while we browsed and mingled, with a martinee in hand (shaken not stirred) humming along to the background tunes of The Clash.

ps- the emblems on his ties are all copies of tattoos on Russian inmates.
