Giovanna Battaglia’s Miami
“Designer Mary Katrantzou had the perfect dress for the Art Basel Miami Beach fair in her resort collection—it’s like wearing a Pantone palette. And, of course, it matched this William Cordova work. Posing in front of it, I felt like I became part of the painting!”

“I discovered this leather killer whale, by Porky Hefer, at the Southern Guild gallery booth at the Design Miami fair. Wouldn’t it make a great office chair for a little fish like myself? I would definitely get my way at meetings.”

“This Jason Rhoades work, at the Margulies Collection in Miami, reminds me of the circuit board of a computer—but one that’s psychoactive.”

“The Raspoutine and Perrier-Jouët party in the penthouse of the Faena hotel during Art Basel Miami Beach was so packed, I made my own VIP room in the shower. My friends Erin Hazelton and Alexander Werz joined me. We were definitely the freshest guests there.”

“For my mom’s birthday, my friend Edoardo Marchiori made a Barbie in her likeness —down to her necklace!”
