My elegant friend, Joyce Gato-Scharfer was my meal ticket for this al fresco banquet and my dinner partner was Martha Stewart. Craig was the developer of the Design District and creator of the Design Miami event. If you were very well connected, you might have been invited to the crème-de-la-crème dinner party hosted by Craig Robbins, in his beautiful waterfront estate on Sunset Island. My friend, Barbara Missett an Art Consultant from Palm Beach and South HamptonĪlberto Vignatelli, the very charismatic president of Luxury Living and Fendi Casa, was the gracious host of this gala party

Disco music boomed – conversation was unnecessary… dozens of guards fought to keep the hordes of uninvited guest at bay… Alberto Vignatelli, the charismatic owner of Luxury Living, sure knows how to throw a party!!!Ī cast of thousands came for the openinf of the Fendi Casa and Bentley receptionĮvery exquisite glamor-girl in Miami made her appearance at the party Every glamorous young woman that could be corralled off Miami’s beaches was there delicately sipping champagne as they balanced effortlessly on their 6” or higher heels, their bare legs extended to their tummy’s with delicate little skirts covering their vitals… Their blasé escorts came straight out of central casting for Miami Vice. Crystal chandeliers, chrome trimmed fur and buttery-soft leathers were the hallmark of this luxurious collection… Opening night was glitz and glitterati… champagne flowed like water exotic hors d’euf were passed by attractive wait-staff.
Luxury is the new buzzword and my Italian licensee is the King of the genre! His Luxury Living Showroom featured Fendi Casa and new this year: Bentley (like in the automobile). Sadly Louis Vuitton and its acolytes have transformed it into a fashion Mall. The Design District, once the darling of Miami’s design community, used to be the hippest place in town. My friend Robert Verdi and his partner were the best dressed men at the party Photo-ops! Chris and me - Jasmin Zetlmeisl, a designer from Paris giving me a big hug I could not have been happier with my exhibit Once an old shoe warehouse, Ralph took a 6800 Square foot cavernous space brightly lit it, painted the walls white with a huge red square wall to bombast you as you enter.… Inside he carefully displayed his collection of one of a kind or limited edition art furniture… and there, ethereally exhibited were examples of my classic furniture dating from the early 50’s through to the current… I could not have been happier. The Wynwood Art District is where astute Ralph Pucci located his spectacular new Miami gallery. Teams of painters armed with truckloads of spray paint were working through the night to complete there block-long masterpieces… as diverse in subjects, messages, colors as anything you could see in the Convention Center… and this show was free! This is where Graffiti has found its calling. It is Miami’s newest trendy scene… located in the seediest part of town! It’s where Graffiti is glorified not the scrawled initials by a delinquent kid using a spray can, but by sponsored imported artists from as far away as San Francisco, L.A. Our next not-to-miss destination was The Wynwood Art District.
