he sweetest hours fly fastest. In the blink of an eye, 365 days passed, and Le CITY deluxe USA turned 1 years old. It’s a stepping stone and the beginning of many years to come. Looking back and reflecting on our 12 months in the Magic City, we cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy, thrill, and immense gratitude. Miami embraced us with its arms wide open and gave us a chance to bask in all its beauty. Beauty, contrary to popular belief, is not only skin deep. Everything about Miami is beautiful: nature, architecture, culture, and kindhearted souls that inhibit this sultry metropolis.
Our 1 Year Anniversary edition is dedicated to our beloved city and all of the wonders it has selflessly shared with us. We pay homage to all that is exquisite. Fashion is synonymous with Miami, especially this time of the year as big designer brands, and creme-de-la-creme of couture industry, come to town to celebrate style, individuality and creativity. Fashion however, is not something that exists in clothes only. Fashion, is in the sky, in the streets, fashion is about ideas and our way of life.
Featured in this issue of Le CITY deluxe, are individuals and enterprises whose passion, hard work and high regard for beauty, make Miami so alluring. Christian Alexander from Front Management takes us on an odyssey of nautical trends, while design icon LeiMarco delivers his sermon on self love and sense of style. PR maven Tara Solomon gives us an inside scoop on what’s in vogue this season in Miami, as our local prodigy designer Ema Savahl brings Magic City charm to Paris. Paolo Barone gives enlightening insight as to why ‘Old World’ ways make a modern man.
