“Designer Mary Katrantzou had the perfect dress for the Art Basel Miami Beach fair in her resort collection—it’s like wearing a Pantone palette. And, of course, it matched this William Cordova work. Posing in front of it, I felt like I became part of the painting!”

“I discovered this leather killer whale, by Porky Hefer, at the Southern Guild gallery booth at the Design Miami fair. Wouldn’t it make a great office chair for a little fish like myself? I would definitely get my way at meetings.”

“The Raspoutine and Perrier-Jouët party in the penthouse of the Faena hotel during Art Basel Miami Beach was so packed, I made my own VIP room in the shower. My friends Erin Hazelton and Alexander Werz joined me. We were definitely the freshest guests there.”
