Bal Harbour Magazine Spring Issue Launch and YAFA Grand Opening Celebration

On May 6, Bal Harbour Magazine celebrated the launch of its Spring Issue with an elegant gathering in partnership with YAFA, marking the grand opening of YAFA’s boutique at Bal Harbour Shops. The evening honored heritage, craftsmanship, and rare signed jewelry. Guests explored an extraordinary collection of museum-quality pieces from legendary houses, including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, and Harry Winston as they mingled over cocktails before enjoying a seated dinner by Avenue 31 Café set in the iconic Sculpture Garden in front of the YAFA boutique.

The event was hosted by Editor in Chief of Bal Harbour Magazine, Deborah Frank, alongside supermodels Helena Christensen and Veronica Webb.

School is in session, and it’s never looked better. We kicked off our “Stylist in Residence” partnership with renowned fashion stylist Elizabeth Saltzman, who shared her insider secrets at an exclusive masterclass for Access Members. From the art of packing light to the ins and outs of a wardrobe reset, guests discovered the styling techniques Saltzman brings to her celebrity clients, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Garner, and Elizabeth Debicki—all while sipping Champagne and enjoying bites from Makoto.

And the lessons don’t end here. Through April, Saltzman will be sharing her expertise with our Personal Shopping team, bringing a fresh perspective to your own styling experience. Ready for a refresh? Click the link in bio to book your Personal Shopping appointment.

British-Jamaican designer Martine Rose has just joined Balenciaga as Creative Director, succeeding Pierpaolo Piccioli. Rose has had her own eponymous line since 2007, which is heavily influenced by hip-hop and rave culture. She first worked with the French house as a consultant in 2015 under Demna and has since collaborated with brands like Nike and created concert merch for Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem. We look forward to seeing how she helps Balenciaga evolve into its next wave.

The 2026 Bal Harbour Shops Creative Challenge winner is... Gio Lee! Our judging panel, led by artist Patrick Morgan, along with Bal Harbour magazine, found great humor in the Milan-based artist’s whimsical illustration, where flamingos don coats and hide in boots and flowers bloom from bags. Congratulations to the runners up: Daniela Campo (Mexico City), Mike Giron (Miami), and Oksana Goldberg (Krakow), and thank you to the hundreds of artists who entered this year’s competition.
