Bal Harbour

I love that Bal Harbour is a noun and an adjective. "This is so Bal Harbour" is an expression that has become a shorthand for devoted fans of the Shops. For more than half a century Bal Harbour Shops has wooed patrons with its high-end retail and vibrant dining scene, nestled in the soothing atmosphere of tropical gardens and koi ponds. It's a microcosm where fashion and nature convene. Our intention with each issue of Bal Harbour Magazine—and on our social and web platforms—is to provide you with the same emotional connection you feel when you're strolling our sun-dappled corridors. With our global reach to more than 140 countries, we like to imagine the many ways "This is so Bal Harbour" is being shared. In this issue, and throughout the fall season, we will continue Bal Harbour Shops' legacy of supporting artists that work in fashion, and those who celebrate it. This summer we launched our second annual Creative Challenge, calling on illustrators to get inspired by Bal Harbour Shops. Amongst the hundreds of talented submissions we received, our winner, Amalia Restrepo, stood out for her singular style that captured the essence of the Shops. One of the competition's judges (and native Miamian) Reyna Noriega, was commissioned for this issue's special edition cover, and later this year will debut her largest project to date on location at Bal Harbour Shops. The fall celebration of artists and artisanry will culminate in a new four-day event, Bespoke Bal Harbour, beginning on October 21. Held across the Shops, Bespoke Bal Harbour honors the art of craftsmanship and celebrates creatives whose extraordinary techniques elevate luxury. And in time for Art Week in Miami, we will debut the Bal Harbour Shops Emerging Fashion Photography Award, which celebrates a fashion photographer under 30. Let's stay connected; tag your "This is so Bal Harbour" experience with us @balharbourshops.
