The first watch to carry Richard Mille’s name, the RM 001 Tourbillon, launched the millennium: the year was 2001, and the model marked the beginning of a new era in watchmaking. Today, the collection points resolutely towards the future, while holding stead fast to the time-honored traditions of fine watchmaking. Approaching each timepiece as a three-dimensional kinetic painting, Richard Mille integrates artistic inspiration into every detail, playing up the full possibilities of space, volume, and movement to create revolutionary watches that reconsider the potential of possibilities. Richard Mille endeavored to apply the techniques and materials found in the most innovative sectors such as in the domains of F1 racing car development and the aerospace industry to watchmaking, with the goal of creating an extreme timepiece, without compromise, without gimmicks.
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.
