From December 6-9, the art world—and just about everyone else close to its orbit—trek to Miami for the 11th installation of art mega-fair Art Basel Miami Beach. Our man on the ground, photographer Alexis Dahan, takes us inside the tents, to the streets, and gives us a glimpse of the most exclusive parties—like W’s Dior Homme party to celebrate Bruce Weber’s new film. Here, he shares day two.
