In just a few hours, Chanel will unveil its Resort collection at Miami’s Raleigh hotel, and we’ll know if Lady Amanda Harlech is wearing recently acquired vintage. Lagerfeld’s muse was spotted this afternoon looking for black dresses in North Miami Beach at C. Madeleine’s, a 10,000-square-foot store founded by ten years ago by Madeleine Kirsh, which bills itself as “one of the fashion wonders of the world.” (And it is—it’s going to take a miracle to pay off the bill I ran up after spending several hours there this afternoon.) The clothes are organized in vignettes: there’s a high-end designer section; one for Sinatra-era beaded evening dresses; and options for brides, bohemians, and those nostalgic for the eighties. A cloth tent transforms one part of the store into a kind of exotic souk, where you might find curled-toe Indian slippers, paisley throws—or Kirsh practicing yoga. “Did I tell you that I’m here 24/7?!” she asked.
