PHOTOS BY OLIVIER SAILLANT (CHANEL) 60 BAL HARBOUR LA FEMME Come winter, visitors to the expansive Chanel boutique will fi nd themselves immersed in the creations of Virginie Viard, who succeeds the late, great Karl Lagerfeld as creative director of the house. With Cruise being the fi rst collection solely designed by Viard— who has worked for Chanel for more than 30 years— we get a glimpse of the direction she will take for the most storied of French fashion houses. SPARK JOY The John Galliano era at Dior was one of the most memorable, and many of the designer's creations have gone on to become collectors' items. A new book out from Thames & Hudson in November spotlights the spectacularly imaginative looks from his 15-year tenure at the iconic French house. This December, Marie France Van Damme puts down roots with the opening of a permanent boutique following the success of its pop-up space. The Hong Kong-based brand will continue to bring its globally infl uenced, resort- ready line to the Bal Harbour client, and will also celebrate the new store with an exclusive capsule collection, limited- edition pet collection and a number of events timed to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach. "Miami is a vibrant fashion capital," says Marie France Van Damme. "Like me, our customer travels around the world, and she needs to fi nd things that will look beautiful from the beach to an evening cocktail party."
