CULTURED and Todd Snyder celebrated the launch of the brand’s Balmoral Defender collaboration Wednesday night at Miami hotspot the Joyce. Equal parts showcase and social salon, the evening drew a discerning mix of fashion insiders, collectors, and design-minded locals, all admiring the craftsmanship on display. The “Rugged Gentleman Collection” is a limited series of painstakingly revived classic Land Rovers produced with the auto-restorer.
The Crowd: Patrons Sarah Arison, Jason and Michelle Rubell, Kinga Lampert, and Kris and Maky Hinson; fashion commentators Georges Coupet, Taylor Bryant, Carolina Lindo, and Kimberly Taylor Gindi; American Eagle’s Jay Schottenstein; entrepreneurs Kinga Strogoff and Julia Levi; designer Mike Tully; conductor Baldur Brönnimann; and film producer Emily Wachtel.
Food & Drink: Guests dined at the Joyce by Chef James Taylor. Glasses of Magic City Margaritas and the Bulletproof (an espresso-based treat) criss-crossed the room as attendees settled into conversation.
Cause for FOMO: Once plates were collected, clusters of guests spilled outside, lingering on Collins Avenue and spending time exploring the Defender, while a balmy Miami night coaxed the evening to a close.
Parting Gift: For those inclined, the most eye-catching souvenir came with four wheels!
