In Miami, Victoria Beckham and Vogue100 Celebrated Fashion, Fragrance, and Design with The Webster
Miami is finally finding its footing as a fashion capital. This boom skyrocketed once Victoria Beckham became a Miami resident. While luxury fashion is on the rise, there wouldn’t be a place for top houses and emerging designers on South Beach without The Webster.
Born out of a desire to shop for last-minute looks during Art Basel Miami back in 2008, Laure Hériard Dubreuil found her solution by opening The Webster s flagship location on Collins Avenue. So, as the top collectors and fashion’s most notable figures flock to Miami for the annual Art Basel affair, Vogue100 tapped Beckham and Dubreuil to share their style and beauty secrets.
The afternoon started with an exclusive luncheon at LPM Restaurant and Bar. Known for its exquisite French-Mediterranean cuisine and elegant ambiance, the Brickell-based bistro served as an ideal venue for the intimate gathering. Designed by My Peonika, bountiful floral arrangements dotted with peonies and pink roses filled the dining room.
Friends and fashion folk, including Antonela Roccuzzo, Elena Galera, Isabela Grutman, Nadia Ferreira, Anastasia Soare, Amber Ridinger, and Loren Ridinger, gathered for a day dedicated to fashion, fragrance, and fine art.
After a buzzy cocktail hour, attendees settled in for a multi-course meal. The menu featured LPM favorites like the avocado salad, bluefin tuna tartare, whole grilled branzino, and linguini pasta with clams, to name a few. And, don’t forget about dessert! The vanilla cheesecake with berry compote was an instant crowd-pleaser.
Following the luncheon, the group descended upon The Webster to enjoy a panel discussion between Beckham and Dubreuil, which was moderated by Vogue’s senior shopping editor, Lilah Ramzi. Set on the second floor of the boutique amongst Beckam’s pre-spring 2024 collection, guests were eager to hear from two leading tastemakers in all things fashion, beauty, and beyond.
“I really appreciate being here amongst so many wonderful brands,” Beckham smiled. “A pre-collection is just as important to me and my main collections. I’m always creating what I want, and what I believe my community desires as well. For me, it’s about silhouettes and making things very flattering. It’s not about compromising the fashion message, but focusing on having a sense of reality in the garment.”
Through describing her process for developing future Victoria Beckham Beauty products to sharing the inspiration for her latest ready-to-wear collection, Beckham gave listeners a whole new perspective on the empire she’s built. Whether she’s putting on a fashion show in Paris, meeting editors in New York, or enjoying time at home in Miami, Beckham always stays true to her authentic style, one where family stands at the forefront. With her daughter, Harper, in the crowd, it’s clear that Beckham practices what she preaches.
