Dolce & Gabbana Miami Design District

The character of Miami told through the voices of Real People who embody the spirit and soul of the city that is home to the Dolce&Gabbana boutique in Miami Design District. Discover their stories and the characteristics that make this city so glamorous and unique.

Vida is an artist from Puerto Rico. She moved to Miami because she wanted to network and, at the same time, surround herself with Latino culture. She loves the liveliness of the Cuban coffee shops in Miami, but above all, she loves the ease of how people connect and socialize, especially the elderly.

Mark is a menswear specialist who moved to Miami from New York when he was 19 years old and he’ll never leave. What he loves most about the city is its Caribbean influence, especially Little Haiti. For those who visit Miami for the first time, he recommends his favorite places, Supply&Advice and Jaguar Sun.

Rose is a photographer. She is originally from Haiti but chose to live in Miami for its diversity. Miami is a multifaceted city, which makes it a great inspiration for her art. Her favorite neighborhood is Little Haiti where she connects with her people and her culture.

Drew is a model who loves to travel. He has been to many cities but there’s no other place than Miami: the music, the people, the vibe. Being different is very important to him because it’s an expression of inner beauty. He loves the beaches of Miami, especially while sitting on the sand and watching his kids run free.

Carolina is the regional sales manager of an Italian wine importer. Born in Cagliari, Sardinia, she found her spot and her people in Miami. It wasn’t Carolina who chose Miami, it was the city itself that chose her. She loves life in Miami but when feeling homesick, she visits her friend’s restaurant to eat fegato alla veneziana.

Germane is an architect who was born in Chicago and moved to Miami because of the limitless opportunities the city offers. As a professional, he finds the Dolce&Gabbana boutique incredibly fascinating as it resembles a theater. The curvature of the glass recalls the curtains from a theater, and while reaching the upper-level of the Boutique, exposed wood, rafters and spotlights give you the idea of being behind the scenes of a real theater. The most fascinating thing for him is that Miami's architectural style is not yet defined, it is still still evolving, so buildings with the beauty of the Dolce&Gabbana boutique help to define the style of the city.
