Soulful Style Let these Latin designers inspire your wardrobe.

These Miami-based Latin designers not only want to make their customers feel beautiful, but also contribute to a more beautiful world.

NOWADAYS, FASHION AND philanthropy often go hand-in-hand. From designer collaborations with charities to co-branded shopping events, it’s fashionable to care about where the items in your closet come from and the impact they have made on others. These Miami-based Latin designers not only want to make their customers feel more beautiful, but also contribute to a more beautiful world. Be it working with artisans in developing countries to provide employment or donating to charitable causes, these stylish do-gooders prove that giving back is always fashionable.

(FROM TOP RIGHT) COURTESY ARTTECA; OURTESY THE ONIKAS. OPPOSITE: COURTESY JETLAGMODE.

ARTTECA

In 2015 Venezuelan sisters Claudia Giardinella and Flavia Giardinella founded this ready-to-wear brand which ranges from scarfs to pants and kimonos. The brand taps artists from the U.S. and Latin America to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are printed on high-quality silk.

Each piece of "wearable art" (as the founders describe it), also comes with a certificate of authenticity that details the name of the artist, the print it based on and the artwork that inspired it. With each artTECA purchase, the company donates a percentage of sales to support art education programs in the community that remove barriers for lowincome students and allow them to explore art.

THE ONIKAS

Founded by long-time best friends and designers, Veronica Pesantes and Jonnyka Bormann (dubbed "the Onikas" in high school) this brand of dreamy ponchos, kaftans, sundresses and mala necklaces is sustainably sourced in Ecuador and India. Miami-based and Ecuador-

born Pesantes works to guarantee ethical and sustainable practices

among supply chains, by traveling to Ecuador to work directly with the workshop that handlooms their knits and collaborate with the weavers each season. In India, they work with a printing workshop that pays their artisans more than is required, and employs various generations of men. As an added bonus, the brand also has a zero-waste initiative making necklaces and tassels from all the leftover fabric from their designs.

SONDER AND HOLLIDAY

Started by Miami gals Lorena Miranda and Victoria Cuesta, this line of straw baskets, hats and fabric bands is sustainably sourced in Ecuador, Ghana and the U.S. "Sonder and Holliday is a direct result of my desire to create a fabulous line of travel and resort products with the intention of bridging the gap between their wearers and their creators," says Miranda. Using special promo codes on the brand's "Shop for a Cause" page on their website, they donate ten percent of sales to local charities including Overtown Youth Center and The Miami Learning Experience School.

JETLAGMODE

Colombian designer Carolina Baena is committed to bringing change to her native country one pair of earrings at a time. Her bold and colorful statement pieces are hand-crafted in Colombia by single-mother artisans generating income and new jobs for poverty-stricken communities. The brand also partnered with MISIĂ“N GUAJIRA 3, a project led by a group of friends in order to help the people of La Guajira access clean drinking water by building a clean water well.

WHE RE I S E P T E M B E R / OCTO B E R 2018

ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING things about Miami is how easy it is to leave. Don’t get us wrong, we love it here—but sometimes a quick and easy day (or weekend) trip is just what the doctor ordered. Thankfully, we can scratch our travel bug without breaking the bank or jetting off too far. Whether it’s by plane, train, automobile or boat, there are travel options abound and plenty of fun adventures to be had.

Here are a few of our favorites.

(FROM TOP RIGHT) COURTESY CHEECA LODGE; COURTESY THE COLONY; COURTESY BPCL;COURTESY THE COLONY. (OPPOSITE) COURTESY BAHAMAS PARADISE CRUISE LINE

DESTINATION: PALM BEACH Only 90 minutes north of Miami, you’ll find this elite island getaway. Originally conceived in the late 1800’s as an island escape for the wealthy, Palm Beach has grown tremendously over the years. Now offering arts and culture, exquisite dining and luxurious lodging, it draws visitors from all across the globe. While a day trip is doable (especially thanks to the new Brightline train) why not splurge on an overnight or weekend stay? The picturesque Colony Hotel is divinely Instagram-able while the iconic Breakers Hotel offers old-world charm inside a full-service luxury resort.

Stroll down Worth Avenue to shop the big-name luxury boutiques such as Chanel, Gucci and Neiman Marcus as well as smaller brands like Aerin and CJ Laing. Just a few blocks away, the Royal Poinciana Plaza is also a shopping must, as is a meal at Italian eatery Sant Ambroeus.

While there’s plenty to explore on the small island, make sure to cross the bridge to visit the Ann Norton Sculpture Garden and Museum, the new Grandview Public Market food hall-meets-shopping warehouse and the beautiful flagship Restoration Hardware complex and its rooftop restaurant.

DESTINATION: ISLAMORADA 90 minutes (by car) from downtown Miami, a pristine island getaway is waiting for you.

The village of Islamorada encompasses 4 of the Florida Keys and has been called the sport fishing capital of the world.

Make Cheeca Lodge & Spa your home base. The historic property reopened in the spring after a 25 million dollar post-Irma renovation including The Spa at Cheeca Lodge, which houses an adults-only heated lap pool and poolside cabanas, complete with butler service and seven relaxing treatment rooms.

Despite their small size, the Upper Keys

have a rich history that includes sunken treasures, major hurricanes, pirates, famous presidents coming down to fish and more. It’s also where Key Lime pie first became popular. Learn more at the Florida Keys History & Discovery Center—a museum with impressive audiovisual exhibits and experiences.

Make sure to find time to visit the Islamorada Beer Company brewery to wet your whistle with a Florida favorite and partake in an area tradition feeding the enormous tarpon at Robbie’s Marina, bayside at Mile Marker 77.

DESTINATION: THE BAHAMAS While it’s only a short flight away, our favorite way to get to the Bahamas is by boat. For a quick getaway, Bahamas Paradise Cruise Lines offers kid-friendly, affordable, daily two-night trips leaving from the Port of Palm Beach, arriving in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island.

Home to stunning marine life, cool shipwrecks and one of the world’s largest underwater cave systems, Grand Bahama Island has loads to explore. Once aboard your cruise, work with staffers to book a day trip excursion parasailing, shopping, kayaking in mangroves, snorkeling highly-preserved Bahamian reefs, exploring marine life from a 60-foot glass bottom boat or relaxing at the pool or beach.

Their new ship, Grand Classica offers updated accommodations and non-stop entertainment in the form of shopping, live Vegas-style shows, several restaurants, a casino, supervised activities for kids, a theater, casino, spa and much more. bahamaspradisecruise.com Insider tip: You can visit the Bahamas for a day.

WHERE IN MIAMI

WE LOVE a Dramatic Dinner.

For more dramatic dining in the city, visit wheretraveler.com

48

Marion The Asian-inspired menu, tropical decor and beautiful crowd make you feel like you’re somewhere utterly exotic. Once settled into your booth or chair, get ready for inventive cocktails and killer sushi. If you’re looking for intimate dining, this ain’t your spot—an all-out party ensues around 9 pm and includes a DJ, fog machine, celebratory sparklers and live music.

Marionmiami.com El Cielo Ever have a fantasy about diving into a pool of macaroni and cheese?

WHE RE I S E P T E M B E R / OCTO B E R 2018

While we can’t make that happen, we can send you to this cool venue offering interactive dining experiences meant to awaken your senses.

Cover your hands in decadent chocolate and then lick it off or order Colombian yucca bread plated to resemble a famous tree found in the Amazon. elcielorestaurant.com Barton G This Miami staple has cocktails, main dishes and desserts whimsically served atop a plate that’s decorated like a mini movie set. Indulge

in a cotton candy dessert shaped like a Marie Antoinette bouffant hairstyle or a 48-ounce steak served on a mini lawn mower. bartong.com Riviera Live This vintage-inspired spot will take you back to 1950's Cuba. On Fridays and Saturdays, get dinner and catch a live, hour-long show featuring classic Cuban music and dancing. Feast on international fare by Jose Davila while enjoying the performances.

Post-show, the space transforms into a Latin dance club.

COURTESY EL CIELO

In Miami, we like to be dramatic and the Magic City is one of the best places (outside of Vegas) for dramatic dining.

Think: extraordinary plating, highly interactive dining experiences, dinner and a show and dining venues that transform into nightclubs. Here are a few of our favorites.
