Paradise Plaza

Your closet is in for a colorful treat this week: the Stitch Lab pop-up returns to the Miami Design District for an eighth season, this time positioning itself as a luxury-driven retail event. The locally-based fashion incubator is known for curating a stellar shopping experience, with over 40 of Latin America's top fashion designers and emerging brands. Expect high-quality pieces that tell a story, including one-of-a-kind apparel, accessories, shoes, swim and resort wear, plus new wellness and beauty offerings, all spread out across the third floor of the expansive Paradise Plaza. It's the perfect excuse for a wardrobe refresh ahead of the summer season. 

The monthlong poetry festival displays words on every possible surface: painted onto rooftops, outlined into the sand, printed onto parking tickets and pasted across buses. The mission is to put a poem, sourced throughout the year from local writers, in front of every Miamian, whether we ask for it or not. Check the festival website for information on activations and unique events, like a Clothing Swap & Poetry Pop-Up, Graveyard Poetry and this weekend's annual Poetry in Pajamas, an adorable open mic for Miami's youngest wordsmiths. At various venues
