SCOPE Art Fair - Tent Fashion



Let's face it Miami, you are known for many things, but fashion is NOT one of them.  Of course, there is the occasional leather clad hipster, disgustingly adorable brazilian model or meticulously disheveled beach bum cycling away on a fluorescent easy rider. However, noteworthy high fashion is sometimes hard to find in this town of ours.  Perhaps there is something flowing through the Miami tap that prevents the general public from putting any time or effort into it's daily getup. In fact, if I see another person in cut-offs and havaianas this winter, I might cry. Good Grief.

For the reasons stated above, and for many unmentioned reasons as well, I love Art Basel Weekend. "Isn't it all about the Art?" you ask... NOPE!  For me, it is also about the Fashion. Swanky and artistic types travel from all around the world to visit Miami during Art Basel weekend, clad in stylish nonsense with outlandish hairstyles and fantastic accessories. To make it all the more fun, Miami folks are obviously inspired by all the Basel bedazzle. Everyone takes this weekend as an opportunity to break out their artsy fartsy ensembles, get decked to the nines, and ride out to the shows looking as eccentric as possible. It's Fab.

Yesterday I tooled around the Scope Art Fair and Art Asia. While I was generally distracted by the Art ... I couldn't help but notice a few adorably dressed gallery owners and patrons. With the exception of a few fancy nancy's, the general vibe was casually chic Miami Street. Take A Looksy.
