Charlotte Groeneveld, Paola Alberdi, and Sarah Hoover at Manolo Blahnik’s new boutique in Miami’s Design District.

Last night, CULTURED hosted a soirée where fashion, design, and philanthropy seamlessly intertwined under one impeccably curated roof. The occasion for all this glamour? Manolo Blahnik's arrival in Miami. 

Editor-in-Chief Sarah Harrelson, author Sarah Hoover, and TheFashionGuitar founder Charlotte Groeneveld gathered Miami's finest into the Design District boutique dreamt up by British architect Nick Leith-Smith, the Spanish shoemaker's first in the city. Inside, 13 exclusive Spring 2025 styles dazzled even the most discerning footwear connoisseurs.

A lineup of Miami’s cultural vanguard—including art collector Michelle Rubell, philanthropist Kinga Lampert, MoMA Board President Sarah Arison, fashion and lifestyle tastemakers Paola Alberdi and Georges Coupet, Manolo Blahnik's Vice President of Marketing and Communications Rebecca Goodman, and fashion editor Gianfranco Berardinelli—mingled over artisanal cocktails, swapping musings on the season’s must-have heels and the city’s ever-evolving art scene.

But the evening wasn’t just about covetable stilettos: As the city’s sky dimmed, a generous portion of sales were pledged to the ICA Miami, championing the institution’s commitment to forward-thinking curation. The new Miami boutique launch proves that when high fashion meets contemporary art, everyone steps up their game.
