Words haven't been invented to describe the reaction when seeing the fine threads at the new - yet temporary Webster located at 919 Collins Ave in Miami. This high end, ready-to-wear luxury label clotheshorse's dream-come-true store is sparse and minimal. But it's temporary! (The permanent location is slated to open in a few weeks on the 12th block in the old appropriately fitted Webster Hotel). The gorgeous clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories are on display to touch (always wondered about that YSL cage boot's structure), provoke (those new torn and bleached Balmain jeans are so daring, but could I pull it off?), and get misty eyed over (that black ribbon belt encrusted with crystal brooches would be the answer to my fashion prayers). The fun doesn't stop here, kids. The men's store just next door, and also temporary, boasts an equivalent couture experience! I particularly fell in love with a Trussardi camouflage cotton parka as well their leather totes and overnight bags. While my brief excursion rendered me speechless with nothing more than a few lustful sounds, embellished gushes, and a few flicks of tiny drops off of a dreamy eye - I realized that the only words in this Webster's dictionary are Chloe, Balenciaga, Balmain, Miu Miu, Lanvin, et cetera upon heavenly et cetera! However, the four letter expletives that will be cursed upon seeing the Amex bill after a day at The Webster...well, that's only temporary, too! Here are a few musings currently at the store: -BH
