Miami and Versace: an essential marriage. Yes, dear friends, in the extravagant American city where the taste and the tendency is to act as masters in their own way, you have to go and see the house that once belonged to Gianni Versace, precisely the stylist who was killed right on door of Villa Casuarina; the splendid mansion where he find death is now a reference point for tourists of the lively nightlife of the South Beach, at Miami.
Today you can visit it simply sipping a drink on the interior patio or dinning at Gianni’s Italian restaurant, contained within the luxury hotel which is the actual intended use of mansion.
Here, with the ocean just steps away, Versace was inspired to create his most fascinating collections and here also received his more dear friends .
Versace, time ago, had decided to settle down in Miami, this strange metropolis divided in half between the desire to show pectorals in Ocean Road and the undisputed elegance of rich Latin American families who had placed here their second residence for the mild climate .
Today the Casuarina is a stylish boutique hotel, as we said, comprising ten suites, precisely at 1116 Ocean Drive; in his very Italian restaurant very refined dishes are served by the chef Mathias Gervais also for the staff. It’s possible to dinner gently on the patio built by the pool among millions of mosaics, some of them in 24 carat gold, and admire the mosaic of the central jellyfish placed in the garden which was so dear to Gianni Versace.
I chose just Miami to return to you, dear friends :a strange special city that involve you with its mild climate throughout the year, with my inseparable Birkin 25 light-colored Hermes, and I wasted no time, and I did, as always, a little shopping ,especially in Bal Harbour, the most chic shopping center in the area to fifteen minutes from the exciting South Beach.
Make a jump if you are in the area, also to search particular brands like JWCooper ,an elegant boutique-style gender-America where you can rediscover the true spirit of American man, that, at the end of work week jumps riding a Harley Davidson with a jacket Todd the owner and feels free.
Here famous celebrities as Madonna buy original clothes - the owner told us that they want always something black, because Black is Black … and then with a small skull, no matter if on their wrist or neck, they feel free immediately!
