Carolina Herrera Opens New Flagship Boutique in Miami Design District

New York-based fashion house Carolina Herrera has opened its new flagship boutique located in the heart of the Miami Design District, one of the world's leading destinations for luxury, art, and design. The nearly 3,000-square-foot boutique brings the full world of Carolina Herrera to Miami and celebrates the work of female artists throughout its design. Miami Design District is a neighborhood renowned for bringing together fashion, architecture, and culture through a distinctly creative point of view.

The boutique marks the House's sixth U.S. boutique and a significant milestone as Carolina Herrera celebrates its 45th anniversary. Home to the complete world of Carolina Herrera – including ready-to-wear, eveningwear, handbags, accessories, beauty, fragrance, and eyewear – the flagship debuts with the Fall 2026 runway collection which was inspired by “Women in the Arts,” as well as the newly introduced handbag line, offering an immersive destination where fashion, art, and design come together through the lens of Carolina Herrera.

"This new opening is a significant milestone in the brand's 45th year and an exciting opportunity for the business. For the past several years, we have been working closely with Craig Robins and his team to find the perfect location where our women's ready-to-wear and accessory collections will complement the district's mix with our vibrant, feminine point of view. This new boutique reflects the elegance, color, and sophistication at the heart of the house, while offering an elevated and highly personal experience for our clients. We are thrilled to celebrate this next chapter in Miami, bringing the spirit of Herrera to this extraordinary community," says President, Emilie Rubinfeld.

Conceived as bespoke expression of the world of Carolina Herrera for the Miami Design District, the boutique reflects the optimism, warmth, and joyful beauty long synonymous with the House. Envisioned by Creative Director Wes Gordon and developed in partnership with interior designer Brandi Howe and Jessica Hyland of Hyland Studio, every architectural detail, material, and custom furnishing was designed to remain unmistakably Carolina Herrera while embracing the vibrant spirit of Miami. From the moment guests arrive, the boutique establishes its identity through a dramatic custom façade envisioned by Gordon. Characterized by a grand architectural arch and sculptural limestone finish, the entrance serves as a bold first gesture, setting the tone for an experience where fashion, art, and design exist inseamless dialogue.

Signature House codes unfold throughout the interior in curvilinear forms, soft shades of pink punctuated by vivid red, rich textures, and bold geometric flooring. Created exclusively for the Miami boutique, a custom flooring design combines white limestone with rare blush-pink travertine, whose naturally occurring soft rose tones lend warmth and depth while underscoring the House's enduring affinity for color and craftsmanship. Soft pink Venetian plaster infused with shimmering mica creates a luminous backdrop, while sculptural travertine fixtures, tactile finishes, and elegantly upholstered seating introduce warmth and intimacy, balancing architectural precision with a welcoming sensibility. Together, these elements create an environment that is both refined and inviting.

Custom-designed furnishings further reinforce the dialogue between fashion and interior design. A sculptural serpentine sofa anchors the main salon, combining graceful curves with classic detailing to create a natural gathering place within the boutique. Throughout the space, bespoke seating and fixtures reference the craftsmanship of couture, translating the House's refined aesthetic into three-dimensional form.

The journey through the boutique continues via a sculptural staircase wrapped in natural fiber wall coverings and punctuated with marble display insets that showcase the House's eyewear collection. Upstairs, oak parquet flooring introduces a warmer character, where Carolina Herrera Beauty welcomes guests upon arrival, creating a seamless transition between fashion, fragrance, and the complete world of the House.

"The Carolina Herrera woman is bold, elegant, and joyful. She embraces color, expresses herself with confidence, and never shies away from making an entrance," says Creative Director Wes Gordon. "Her energy is magnetic - much like the spirit of Miami - so it feels entirely natural that we should open our next home here."

As a continuation of Carolina Herrera for Women in the Arts, the House's ongoing platform championing female-identifying talent across the arts, the boutique features a series of original commissions that extend the dialogue between fashion, contemporary art, and design.

Argentine artist Constanza Vallese created a custom floral motif exclusively for Carolina Herrera that appears throughout the boutique as a unifying design element. Expressed through sculptural tables, vases, and decorative fixtures, her work brings an organic femininity to the space while reinforcing the floral language that has long been synonymous with the House.

Suspended above the boutique's central salon, Los Angeles-based artist Liz Oliver designed a dramatic textile installation inspired by organic shell forms. Its sculptural draping pays homage to one of Carolina Herrera's defining design signatures, introducing movement, softness, and a sense of theatricality that transforms the chandelier into a work of art. Created specifically for the proportions of the boutique, the installation serves as the visual centerpiece of the space, seamlessly connecting fashion, craftsmanship, and contemporary design.

Additional handcrafted ceramic planters were commissioned from Brooklyn-based studio Choplet Ceramics, an all-women collective whose work celebrates female craftsmanship and artistry. Their sculptural vessels introduce a natural element throughout the boutique while reinforcing Carolina Herrera's commitment to supporting women across creative disciplines.

“Miami Design District is a place where great brands are encouraged to fully animate their artistic vision. With this new store, Carolina Herrera has blended architecture, design and materiality to immerse customers in their world, whether they are longtime devotees or experiencing it for the first time. The store is a special experience where the complete expression of the House comes to life and legacy and innovation are intertwined,” says Craig Robins, founder and CEO of Dacra, who has led the development of the Miami Design District.

More than a new flagship, the Miami boutique marks a meaningful chapter in Carolina Herrera's continued evolution. Created exclusively for the Miami Design District, it reflects the House's enduring commitment to craftsmanship, artistic collaboration, and joyful elegance while celebrating the creative dialogue between fashion, architecture, and design that defines both Carolina Herrera and its new home.

The Carolina Herrera Miami Design District boutique was realized in partnership with architect of record Dakota Hendon and Red Door Construction.

Michelin-Recognized Chef Yasu Tanaka and Spicy Hospitality Group Bring 8-Seat Omakase Experience, YASU Omakase, To Miami Design District

Following the success of Sushi Yasu Tanaka, Michelin-recognized Chef Yasu Tanaka has unveiled an intimate new concept: YASU Omakase, an 8-seat omakase counter in Miami Design District brought to life by Spicy Hospitality Group and designed as a deeply personal reflection of Tanaka’s Yamanashi roots and the rituals that define Japan’s most revered sushiyas.

“Chef Tanaka has made a lasting impact on Miami’s dining scene, and with YASU Omakase, we’re bringing his most personal and refined vision to life. The concept reflects a shared respect for craft and precision—qualities that define both his work and our philosophy. In my travels through Japan, the architecture and intimacy of its traditional sushiyas inspired me to create an omakase that feels truly authentic while remaining true to Miami. Together, we’ve created an experience that celebrates the artistry of omakase at its highest level.” - Andre Sakhai, Partner at Spicy Hospitality Group

Seating only eight guests per service, YASU Omakase represents the pinnacle of Chef Tanaka’s craft: a deeply personal encounter between chef and diner where every detail is intentional and every bite tells a story. Guests are seated at an extraordinary 600-year-old hinoki counter, carved from timber traditionally reserved for Japanese temples and shrines. The experience begins with three to five otsumami (small plates), before transitioning into a curated progression of nigiri, miso soup, a signature hand roll, and a seasonal dessert. Each course reflects Chef Tanaka’s ability to reimagine tradition through a modern Miami lens, blending Japanese precision with coastal vibrancy.

“Miami has embraced my craft and my vision. With YASU Omakase, I want to create something more personal, a place where guests can slow down and experience sushi in a way that feels intimate and true to its tradition.” - Chef Yasu Tanaka

The project is led in collaboration with Chef Raymond Li, a longtime friend and creative partner whose experience at globally celebrated restaurants helps shape their shared vision. His influence introduces a subtle South Florida expression to the menu, adding a sense of place that complements YASU Omakase’s traditional foundation. Together, the chefs aim to create something original—not a replica of any existing model, but a space that honors tradition while pushing boundaries with creativity and purpose.

YASU Omakase offers a single 14–16-course omakase menu, evolving frequently based on seasonality, sourcing, and chef inspiration. Highlights include:

• Three to five otsumami showcasing hot and cold preparations

• A progression of premium nigiri, featuring both Toyosu arrivals and Florida coastal varieties

• House-seasoned soy sauces, crafted to complement individual fish profiles

• Niigata rice, adjusted seasonally for optimal temperature and texture

• A signature temaki hand roll

• Seasonal dessert

The seafood program is sourced through exclusive channels, with the majority of fish arriving directly from Toyosu Market in Tokyo, supplemented by exceptional local species. Vegetables, eggs, and fruit are selected from regional farms.

The beverage program centers on a personally curated sake collection, including rare producers and limited bottles. Guests may select à la carte pours or a pairing designed to mirror the arc of the omakase. A concise wine list, developed with expert consultation, includes selections chosen to complement the precision and subtlety of the menu.

A private room anchored by a second hinoki counter will debut soon for intimate celebrations and special occasions.

YASU Omakase’s design blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with Nordic minimalism, creating a space that feels serene, noble, and quietly powerful. Nearly every element was handcrafted by Japanese artisans, including intricate kumiko woodworking executed with museum-level precision.

The 600-year-old hinoki counter serves as the centerpiece, its natural grain and scent left untreated and polished daily with rice bran—a centuries-old technique that preserves the wood’s warmth and vitality. A matching hinoki cutting board continues this material purity, allowing guests to experience the tactile qualities that define Japan’s most revered sushiyas.

Seating is provided by PP Møbler chairs, handcrafted by master Scandinavian furniture makers to ensure comfort throughout the two-hour experience. The restaurant also features custom tableware and sake vessels, designed in collaboration with ceramic artists in Chef Tanaka’s hometown of Yamanashi, reflect textures, forms, and weight that best complement his approach to sushi.

Chef Yasu has become one of Miami’s most influential sushi masters, known for his thoughtful technique and devotion to Japanese culinary artistry. With multiple thriving concepts and a growing reputation for innovation, he and Spicy Hospitality Group continue to shape the city’s dining landscape with YASU Omakase.

YASU Omakase is located at 151 NE 41st Street, #137 Miami, Florida 33137

A distinguished partner to bring a refined hospitality offering to the area, The Bastion Collection’s stellar reputation in Miami is underscored by two acclaimed restaurants in the Design District: L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, the city’s sole two-Michelin-starred establishment, and Le Jardinier, honored with one Michelin star.

Speaking about the collaboration, Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of OKO Group, said, "With 830 Brickell, we set out to deliver an international calibre of architecture and lifestyle to the heart of Miami's financial district. Partnering with The Bastion Collection to develop Seia and Seia Club elevates that vision and introduces a new benchmark for culinary and exclusive social experiences in the city. Together, we are creating a destination that reflects Miami's global stature, bringing a new dimension of sophistication and world-class gastronomy to Brickell.’

By night, Seia will become a destination for those seeking an elevated social experience.”

Situated minutes from Brickell’s business core yet set within a peaceful, park-filled enclave, Colette residents enjoy walkable access to waterfront promenades, fine dining, and cultural destinations, all while maintaining the tranquility of a low-rise community. “We’re seeing interest from buyers who’ve outgrown the hustle of Brickell’s high-rise district,” explained Sales Director Pietro Belmonte. “They still want proximity to the city’s restaurants and nightlife, but they crave a calmer, more livable environment with a neighborhood feel.”

The Colette Sales Gallery will open on November 12, 2025, at 3390 Mary Street, Suite #124, Coconut Grove, FL 33133.

DAMAC International Secures Foundation Permit And Announces Sales Team For The Delmore Surfside Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects

As momentum builds around The Delmore, the ultra-luxury oceanfront condominium designed by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), DAMAC International has announced the full sales team representing the landmark Surfside development. The reveal comes on the heels of a series of major construction milestones recently reached at the project site. The Delmore revealed its meticulously designed bespoke sales gallery in July 2025. Completion is anticipated in 2029.

Tara West, a top-producing agent with a longstanding reputation for leading South Florida’s premier residential launches, is at the helm as Director of Sales. Assembled by Douglas Elliman – The Delmore’s exclusive sales and marketing partner – the core on-site team also includes Erik Schneider and Farid Moussallem, both bringing deep experience and relationships within the ultra-luxury market.

In addition, Ryan and Max Farbstein have been appointed as official Ambassadors, tasked with introducing the project to key high-net-worth audiences and supporting sales efforts in off-site markets around the globe.

“This is a deeply seasoned, exceptionally respected team that brings together market insight, international reach, and a reputation for integrity,” said Jeffery Rossely, Senior Vice President of Development for DAMAC International. “We’re thrilled to have each of them represent The Delmore – a one-of-a-kind offering for both Miami and the U.S. market as a whole.”

The announcement coincides with continued construction progress at the 8777 Collins Avenue site. In July, The Delmore secured its foundation permit from the Town of Surfside, marking a significant milepost in the build. Deep-soil mixing (DSM), led by Keller North America, has been underway for several months to reinforce the site’s perimeter, with work now more than one-third complete. To date, over $25 million has been invested in on-site construction, with vertical construction anticipated to begin in Q3 2026.

“Timing and follow-through matter greatly in today’s market,” said Jeffery Rossely, Senior Vice President of Development for DAMAC International. “The Delmore’s progress reflects our belief that buyers deserve certainty and results – not just promises.”

With only 37 full- and half-floor “mansions in the sky,” The Delmore is the most expensive new-build condominium currently on the market in Miami-Dade – and a centerpiece of what’s referred to as Miami’s “Billionaire’s Triangle,” where the exclusive enclaves of Indian Creek, Surfside, and Bal Harbour converge. Residences range from four to five bedrooms, start at $15 million, and average approximately 8,000 square feet – with overall pricing averaging $40 million.

All homes at The Delmore are fully finished, featuring private elevator entries and sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and Downtown Miami. Penthouses begin at 10,000 square feet and offer expanded layouts across the top floors of the 12-story boutique building.

Sales activity is being driven by private showings at The Delmore’s new 4,500-square-foot sales gallery, located at 301 71st Street in Miami Beach. The by-appointment-only space offers an early look at the craftsmanship and scale of the ZHA-designed tower, featuring an overhead digital projection of the project’s translucent sky-high pool and an impeccably finished model living area.

The development will offer more than 55,000 square feet of amenities, including the 75-foot sky-high translucent pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an indoor lap pool, and an immersive meditation garden. A Michelin-caliber restaurant, exclusive to residents and guests, further distinguishes the property. Each of The Delmore’s two wings will feature no more than two residences per floor, maximizing privacy and prestige.

OKO Group Commences Vertical Construction at Aman Residences, Miami Beach

Following extensive below-grade piling, excavation work and construction from OKO Group and Access Industries’, Aman Residences, Miami Beach, will commence vertical construction. With the development’s foundation system now complete, general contractor Suffolk is now progressing skyward with approximately one floor set to be completed every two weeks through top-off in early 2026. Delivery of the fully committed 18-story residential tower, designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, remains on track for 2027.

Located at 3425 Collins Avenue, Aman Miami Beach will blend ultra-luxury amenities and residential offerings within Miami Beach’s Faena District. The tower will feature 22 Aman-branded residences alongside the preserved historic Versailles Hotel, which will host 56 hotel rooms, designed by the acclaimed Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, a long-time interior and architecture collaborator with Aman.

“With the foundation of Aman Residences, Miami Beach nearing completion, we’re entering a pivotal stage in the project as the structure begins to rise visibly above grade,” said Alan Chun, Chief Operating Officer of OKO Group. “This momentum builds on Aman’s record-setting residential sell-out, with the development poised to elevate Miami Beach as a world-class destination for design, wellness, and luxury living.”

The start of vertical construction follows intensive groundwork, including the creation of a two-level underground parking structure – an engineering feat made possible through advanced Deep Soil Mixing and Triple Soil Mixing techniques. These methods stabilized the beachfront site’s soil and mitigated groundwater intrusion, enabling the installation of the building’s foundation system.

“Suffolk is honored to help bring this exceptional project to life,” said Tom Thrasher, General Manager of Suffolk’s Florida East Coast. “The prestige of the Aman brand and the design pedigree of Kengo Kuma make this one of the most exciting builds in the history of Miami Beach. We are thrilled to leverage our cutting-edge technologies, data, and AI solutions to deliver an exceptional experience and project that will exceed expectations and help redefine how iconic projects are built.”

Designed by celebrated Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, Aman Residences, Miami Beach, embraces a minimalist aesthetic that combines angular lines and soft, undulating forms. It draws on Japanese materials and motifs while respecting Miami Beach’s Art Deco heritage. Kuma’s design introduces fluid transitions between interior and exterior spaces, creating a structure that is both visually striking and harmonious with the surrounding landscape.
