A Flower Powered Trip Down Memory Lane

For Art Basel, Bal Harbour Shops tapped virtuosic landscape artist Lily Kwong to create a one-of-a-kind ephemeral installation for our greenway. The resulting work titled Moongates, which debuted in December and lasted through the holiday season, brought a concert of orchid arches to our plaza. Composed of thousands of multicolored blooms, Moongates offered bountiful opportunities for guests to reconnect with nature. Spreading the message with each Instagram post, we watched the rechristen of Kwong’s green installation grow outside of the bounds of our space.

Don’t miss our behind-the-scenes video at the end of our gorgeous gallery of images, including model Alina Kozyrka in runway Oscar de la Renta gowns and dazzling Graff diamonds.

Our holiday season began early this year. We honored the past and gave a preview of the future at Bal Harbour Shops. As part of our 60th-anniversary celebration, the Shops’ beloved restaurants each made their mark on the night with bespoke treats. From sliders to pastries, here’s a look at how Avenue 31 Café, Makoto, and Carpaccio came out to add joy to the night—and how guests enjoyed a very special preview of Slim’s and China Grill.
