56 BAL HARBOUR ©GESI SCHILLING; COURTESY DE BEERS AND ORLEBAR BROWN RUBELL MUSEUM Following a celebrated opening just in time for Art Basel Miami Beach in December, the new Rubell Museum has offi cially opened its doors in a city already bursting with cultural clout. The inaugural exhibit boasts the best of the Rubell family's truly astounding contemporary collection, which, considering it includes everything from a selection of Cindy Sherman's iconic fi lm stills to works by Jeff Koons and George Condo, is worth revisiting again and again. Return trips will prove a necessity if only to cover the whopping 40-gallery building designed by Selldorf Architects from a blank canvas of six former industrial buildings. But the crown jewel is the museum's fi rst artist-in-residence Amoako Boafo. His breathtaking approach to black identity is a heady reminder that the collection celebrates art's future as much as its storied past. Presented last July in Paris during Haute Couture week, De Beers's Portraits of Nature high jewelry collection is fi nally arriving this spring to Bal Harbour Shops as part of its world tour. is is your chance to get a peek at the renowned house's artistry at its most fl amboyant. "It's inspired by the way the colors of nature's most fascinating creatures interact with light and create incredible chromatic eff ects," says CEO François Delage. SHINE BRIGHT BROWN, ORLEBAR BROWN The London-based men's swimwear label celebrates its third James Bond collaboration. This March, Orlebar Brown releases its third capsule collection dedicated to the James Bond franchise (their prior releases were so successful that the company has decided to extend the partnership). This time around, they've honed in on Dr. No (1962), starring Sean Connery and Ursula Andress; the fi lm ostensibly launched the Bond universe. The main attraction is the movie's original artwork, which has been reinterpreted and photo-printed on Orlebar Brown's popular swim shorts. Yet there are other pieces in the mix, too; a linen summer suit is one particular standout. See the collection for yourself at Orlebar Brown's Bal Harbour location.
