Shoe Salon
Saks Fifth Avenue Dadeland is expanding its designer shoe collection with the debut of 10022-SHOE. Based on the New York flagship’s shoe floor — that’s so big it has its very own zip code — the Dadeland version will open this September with an enhanced selection including Brian Atwoo, Camilla Skovgaard and Elizabeth & James in additon to current designers Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Prada and more. The salon will be the sixth 10022-SHOE location, joining New York, Beverly Hills, Houston Galleria, Phoenix, San Francisco and South Coast Plaza. The space will be accented by a unique variety of chandeliers, modern tables from Eero Saarinen and Warren Platner, vintage furniture pieces and custom-designed curved banquettes.
Fashionable Cause
Spring cleaning in fall? Absolutely. This September 18-19 at Mary Brickell Village, a fundraiser named Fashionably Conscious will be held after having collected designer items from pricey closets for a sale to benefit The Barnyard Community Center, offering free after-school and summer programs for underprivileged kids. While Miami’s socialites get to clean their closets, others who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford these items get to purchase them at very low prices to benefit a great cause. For more information or tickets, visit CoconutGroveCares.org or email [email protected].
