Miami Travel Diary
Chromat designer Becca McCharen flew down to Miami Beach to debut the new SS17 Swimwear Collection at Miami Swim Week and host a fun party + pop up at the Freehand.
Go behind the scenes to see Miami's architecture, beaches and creatives through her polaroid diary.

ZAHA HADID + 1111 LINCOLN ROAD
I had to stop by and pay homage to Zaha Hadid's work at The Alchemist.
It's in my favorite building, 1111 Lincoln Road designed by architects Herzog and De Meuron.
MONAD STUDIO
We had the opportunity to visit Monad Studio at their residency at Miami Beach Urban Studios with Florida International University. Monad is an architecture firm run by partners Eric Goldemberg and Veronica Zalcberg with their amazing daughter Zoe who already had her own clothing line: ZG Studio! Monad is experimenting with 3D Printed musical instruments and are collaborating with our friend Anouk Wipprecht on something very exciting! 
I love Miami so much. The minimal modern architecture, the tropical plants, the neon, the gorgeous beach and unbelievable weather and of course the people!
Any chance I get- Basel, Swim Week, WMC- I will be here!
See you soon Miami.
