Duncan Quinn's Stylish Den of Iniquity at Art Basel

Filed under: Apparel, Luxury Cars & Autos, Events, Art, Men's Style, Luxury Shopping

Dashing designer Duncan Quinn, known for his roguish take on Savile Row style, is giving Miami's Art Basel a glamour injection courtesy of an ultra-cool pop-up boutique (above) opening today. Following the success of his lavish space at last year's festival complete with an indoor croquet pitch, this year's digs in the Design District's Moore Building are a veritable dandy's den of stylish iniquity, complete with a full-fledged casino, vintage sports cars, cocktails, a screening room showing classic Michael Caine films, and of course plenty of razor sharp threads.

Designed with a Casino Royale theme that would make James Bond himself hot under the collar, guests can take advantage of a bespoke lounge with Dormeuil fabrics, an installation of Ruby couture motorcycle helmets from France, cocktails from the mixologists at the Florida Room, and several limited edition items including the new line of Duncan Quinn sunglasses, polo shirts, jackets and more. Classic cars and motorbikes on display in the space include a 1954 Jaguar XK120, vintage Ducatis and Triumphs and Dime City Cycles' "Brass Café" Racer.

Zimmermann Swimwear Opens Its Doors in Soho

We at Luxist are huge fans of the Zimmermann line of swim and resort wear. Their sexy, bold colors and flamboyant vintage prints are eternally fresh and appealing. Last August, we published a story about their fabulous fashion show on the roof of The Empire Hotel -- and now, we can all buy many of those same items in their new store in Soho, NYC.

That's right, Zimmermann has opened their first ever pop-up shop in the USA. Though we Americans can access some of the wild, yet elegant Australian swim and after-swim fashions through Shopbop and some department and specialty stores, many items are exclusive, for North America, to their store at 112 Greene Street (between Prince and Spring). The store also features their capsule collection of footwear and handbags, as well as complementary jewelry collections by Australian designers.

The 2,500 square foot, bright and airy pop-up shop opened Monday, April 12 and will continue through June 30, but Zimmermann is on the hunt for a full-time home in Soho.

Personalize Your Mo�t

If you are handing out the Champagne in New York this season, you might want to swing by Boutique Moët, a pop-up store that has opened at 455 West Broadway in SoHo. For a flat fee of $30 you can have any pre-purchased bottle of Moët jazzed up with Swarovksi crystal letters. Personally, I'd rather just put the money toward more Champagne but the crystals do add a festive touch.
