+ Girls By Delvs

Maria aka DELVS is a multidisciplinary artist working out of her studio & the streets of Miami since 2002. With a background in graffiti & street art, she brings a unique perspective to feminine figures & characters in order to make each piece. She believes that the female form is the most inspiring invention ever created & we couldn’t agree more!

+ 2024 World Car Design Of The Year

Up against the Ferrari Purosangue & Ford Bronco, it was the Toyota Prius that won this years coveted design award. “We went back to the drawing board to imagine the Prius. Ultimately, we choose to create something people can love not only for it’s rational benefits, but also emotional experience,” says Yasushu Ueda, Chief Engineer for Prius.

+ Designed To Last

Since the Maison’s very beginnings in Paris, Diptyque’s creations have been designed to last. In 1961, three multidisciplinary artists founded the brand, united by a shared sense of beauty, love of nature & insatiable curiosity. Their dedication to waxmaking, glassmaking & ceramic expertise has created a brand that is synonymous with style & sensational scents. As we burn their bougies, we salute Desmond Knox-Leet, Christiane Gautrot & Yves Coueslant.

+ Donk Life

If you find yourself in Miami on any given day, expect to see some big rimmed Chevy Caprices & Impalas with candy-colored paint jobs, which are driven by Hustlers & Automotive Enthusiasts alike. Named a “Donk” because of the resemblance to a Donkey, there’s a high level of attention to detail with these builds. Head over to Donk Planet for more!

+ Pure Fun

Designed by LUCYD, BRĒZ claims to be the most fun you can have legally. While that’s quite a bold statement, their microdosed THC + CBD + Mushroom beverage comes through with in an aesthetically pleasing slim can that features a beautiful typeface & rainbow like sheen. Take a sip for an energizing euphoria that’s followed by a sense of relief & relaxation.

+ The Gilded Age

Welch, Smith & Provot was one of the top New York architects in the 1800s, when the economy was booming & there was plenty of open space. They designed & built this particular estate for tobacco, textile & energy tycoon Benjamin N. Duke, most recently owned by Mexican telecom magnate Carlos Slim. Located across from The Met & Central Park, it stands out with a Beaux Arts-style limestone & red brick facade that will be forever timeless.

+ Borscht Corporation

A freaky force to be reckoned with, Borscht is a nonprofit on a mission to redefine cinema in Miami. Local filmmakers created Borscht in response to the lack of regional infrastructure & support, empowering artists to tell fresh Miami stories.
