The Scoop: Your Guide to South Florida's Trendiest Hotspots
BIRKIN BASH
To fete its permanent, three-story home in the Miami Design District, Hermès is throwing one of the hottest parties of the season on November 5. The theme honors a Floridian icon, the pink flamingo, for which the Parisian house created a commemorative silk scarf. A towering Guiana chestnut tree, rooftop garden and façade that filters light like a forest also pay homage to the state’s abundant namesake flora; the latter’s effect is achieved by placing a grid of white-coated, vertical steel tubes in varying widths over glass. Collectors swoon in viewing all 16 categories such as luggage, saddles, ready-to-wear and perfume, throughout 13,000 square feet. The home offering is huge, too, with furniture, textiles and wallpapers, plus Saint-Louis crystal’s only U.S. shop-in-shop. RSVP here for the opening and after-party at Soho Studios.

MOD SQUAD
Midcentury modern architecture fans should plan to attend SarasotaMOD, the annual program presented by the Sarasota Architectural Foundation, from November 6-8. The small city along Florida’s west coast is a bastion of 20th-century design because it’s where architect Paul Rudolph and friends founded their prolific Sarasota School of Architecture. Many of the tours are sold out, but you may be able to squeeze in to see one of these magical spaces such as Rudolph’s circa-1953 minimal Umbrella House (pictured), among the treasured homes in the Lido Shores neighborhood. There are parties all weekend, too, such as Friday night’s opening reception at the Ringling Museum of Art to celebrate its newly installed replica of Rudolph’s Walker Guest House. Experts also give six presentations on this famous movement for the real buff.
