Haute Couture: The Haute 5 Fashion Boutiques in Miami

Atrium

Turning up the heat on what has been a decade long Atrium tradition of merging style and street, a modern, natural and upscale translation of NYC’s legendary Atrium boutique opened on Collins Ave. in 2007 and has been catering to the non-stop action and energy that the Miami shopper craves ever since.

Befitting its Miami home, the 5000 square ft sleek space is white-washed and weathered. The original fixtures and environments, designed by Studio Dror, have been crafted to showcase an array of sexy edgy fashion for both men and women – each piece hand selected for the consummate Miami traveler. Reminiscent of Atrium NYC is a juried selection too of the foremost in denim, t-shirts and plush casual and beach wear. To compliment the fashion, finely edited lifestyle elements are infused throughout, a nod of appreciation for the passions and pursuits of their clientele. Casual, sensual and with a pulse all its own, Atrium Miami boasts the likes of Martin Margiela, Missoni, Collette Dinnigan, Costume National and D Squared.
