46 BAL HARBOUR ALBERTO OVIEDO, COURTESY MIAMI CITY BALLET; ©JEAN-BAPTISTE MONDINO, COURTESY METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART ART AT LARGE For its spring program, the Miami City Ballet enlisted the help of New York sculptor Michele Oka Doner to bring choreographer George Balanchine's adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream to life. Incorporating her signature naturalistic imagery, Oka Doner lends a bit of magic to the iconic ballet through fantastical costumes and sets. The Miami Beach native remains busy in other realms, as well, from a floor for the new One Ocean South Beach to her exquisite work with Christofle. MAN MADE This year, the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art looks to the future with "Manus x Machina," a comprehensive survey exploring the intersection of technological innovation and fashion. Spanning couture and ready-to-wear, the landmark exhibition investigates how designers negotiate their increasingly mechanized industry. Among those included are Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Miuccia Prada.
