Rachel Roy Launches Spring 2015 Collection

/

By Katie Jackson Photography Courtesy of Rachel Roy Fashion designer Rachel Roy has been creating some of the most coveted women’s collections for the past decade. Roy’s Spring 2015 RACHEL Rachel Roy collection was inspired by the designer’s travels. “I try to look at places that I’ve been or places that I want to go, and then try to bring some of that into my customers’ lives,” said Roy. “I even try to put it in prints and hopefully inspire them to fi ll up their passports.” The spring collection embodies the look and feel of tropical destinations and incorporates bright and bold fl oral prints while also including classic closet staples. “I tried to put the prints into things like a maxi dress, where you can have fun,” said Roy. “And then keep the blazers a little more neutral so that they can mix and match.” But perhaps what is even more spectacular about Roy’s Spring 2015 collection is the additional launch of Self Rule, her women’s empowerment campaign that celebrates and promotes individuality and aims to continuously remind women that power comes from within. “Self Rule comes from the idea that when you have self-love and self-respect, you get to the point where you can really start to live your own life,” said Roy. The designer hopes that Self Rule will inspire women to take total control of their destinies. “When you have that self-love and self-respect, then you are aware of every decision you make. I tell my fi fteen year-old daughter to have fun, and I do want her to have fun at social events and parties, but I just want her to make smart choices,” said Roy. “It comes with life and living and when I have a journey that teaches me something I want to teach it to my customers.” Roy has been traveling to different Macy’s department stores in cities across the country to launch her latest collection and Self Rule, while also choosing to benefi t women’s philanthropic organizations at each destination. During her appearance at Macy’s in Dadeland Mall in Miami, Roy chose to benefit the Women’s Fund Miami-Dade, an organization that strives to create equal opportunities for women through raising and donating funds. “We advocate for women’s issues such as domestic violence, human trafficking, economic security, and health,” said Marilyn March, Executive Director of the Women’s Fund Miami-Dade. Grantees from the Women’s Fund Miami-Dade were able to join Roy for breakfast on Miami Beach before being personally styled by the designer in her latest collection. “We are overwhelmed with joy and feel very blessed for the opportunity to be part of this,” said March. Like all of Roy’s on-going Macy’s appearances, Miami was a complete success. Twenty percent of the event’s proceeds went to the Women’s Fund Miami-Dade, and the grantees that were styled were able to keep all of the clothing and accessories. “This is what truly gives me the most joy in life,” said Roy.

The Residences at Park Grove

/

By Angela Betancourt For the past several years there has been a lot of excitement about new residential and mix-use developments being built across Miami-Dade County. Brickell and Miami Beach often steal the spotlight with their billion dollar projects, luxury new residences, and all the opulent amenities that come along with them. However, there are several other neighborhoods experiencing their own share of new development projects, among them is Coconut Grove. This historical area is one of Miami’s oldest and most charming neighborhoods. Dating back to 1925, Coconut Grove is known for its parks and gardens, hammock trees, art festivals, shopping, and historical landmarks. Coconut Grove is located approximately 10-15 minutes from Brickell, yet this proximity has not had an effect on this neighborhood’s unique identity. These characteristics were part of what caught the attention of the Terra Group and The Related Group. The two powerhouse developers have joined forces for the first time to create The Residences at Park Grove on a 5.2 acre property directly across from Biscayne Bay. The architecture is led by OMA and Rem Koolhaas in collaboration with kitchen and bath designer William Sofield, and Enea Landscape Architecture. The project masterminds recently came together for a design talk event to showcase building renderings and discuss the vision behind the design. A crowd of 250 top-tier brokers, buyers and tastemakers gathered to hear legendary architect Shohei Shigematsu from OMA and famed landscape designer Enzo Enea, dis- cuss the past and future of Coconut Grove as well as their take on new trends in residential architecture and how they perceive design and development in Miami. Both Shigematsu and Enea revealed how their designs look at urbanism and historical elements specific to the Grove’s existing climate and culture; and their in- tentions to “elevate” Coconut Grove while honoring its historical elements. The hour-long discussion was moderated by Ted Loos, a design expert and regular contributor of Architectural Digest and hosted by co-developers of the property: David Martin, President of Terra Group and Carlos Rosso, President of Condo Development The Related Group. The Residences at Park Grove is set for completion in late 2016. The units will range between 2,500 to 3,500 square feet. Glass walls will give residents end- less views of the marina and Biscayne Bay as well as an abundance of natural light. From the expansive balco- nies, spacious living areas, airy dining rooms, and fully equipped kitchens, the designers did not cut any cor- ners. In addition to amenities that rival those found at any world class luxury resort, Park Grove will also have a private rooftop pool deck with views of the city. The meticulous attention to detail extends beyond the individual residents and out into the buildings two- acre sculpture park where Enea set out to create a se- rene and lush garden for residents to enjoy. The Residences at Park Grove will increasingly draw more attention as it unfolds in one of Miami’s most established neighborhoods; bringing in new elements and establishing roots of its own.
