The Best of Art Basel, Miami 2009

One of us took a quick break and went down to Miami for Art Basel 2009. Patrons were mainly gallerists, serious collectors and young artists from around the world. The scene was quite fun to look at, outfitted in some serious looks, most seemingly from Chanel, with bits of the odd Comme Des Garcons or Vivienne Westwood here & artfully there, not bad! The art was of course amazing, and good times were had by all. We suggest everyone out there with a penchant for the arts make it for Basel 2010. Here are some of our inspirational favorites:
