The Scoop | Week of November 21

JILL PENMAN November 22, 2023

With the arrival of Black Friday this week, we can’t help but think about shopping. Though many of us will be on the hunt for big ticket items like electronics, ONE Sotheby’s International Realty’s shopping guide focuses on where to outfit yourself for the upcoming Miami Art Week centered on Art Basel Miami Beach as well as other seasonal celebrations. Please enjoy these tips for new local stores, collections and pop ups to prepare for a flurry of art-related events and holiday occasions.
 

Two: Minds

Shoppers who miss style mecca Jeffrey in New York’s Meatpacking District are somewhat reunited through its former buyer’s retail spinoff. After opening two: minds in the same Manhattan neighborhood a couple of years ago, Jesse Dong recently expanded to Coconut Grove. Find designer fashions for men (Courrèges denim, Gallery Department hoodies) and women (The Attico’s sequined mini dresses, Alexander McQueen denim dress and handbag).
