The beds have been made, the concierge desk polished and the piano in the lobby has been tuned. On its tour around America, the Stoli Hotel has set up shop in Miami where it will host a variety of invite only music, fashion and sport events over the next two and a half weeks. Designed by creative architecture agency Pompei A.D, the 10,000 square foot hotel-themed space is inspired by the iconic Hotel Moskva which features on Stolichnaya's labels. "Each facet of the hotel has been carefully selected to incorporate Stolichnaya's authentic heritage, while drawing upon the modern day qualities that top metropolitan hotels possess" says Adam Rosen, Senior Brand Manager of Stolichnaya vodka. Guests can browse (but not sleep in) rooms designed around Stoli blends, enjoy Stoli cocktails and indulge in manicures, facials, scalp treatments and chair massages. You are, however, going to need to be wearing some serious bling if you want to enter the elit suite. Paying homage to Stoli's high-end range, it is only open to celebrities and VIP's. Heading over to New York next, the Stoli Hotel adds yet another milestone to Stolichnaya's unique history of innovation and championing all things Russian. By Brendan McKnight. |
| On The Wall - Miami Murals |

Primary Flight is graffiti art at its finest. The curated graffiti installation was created in four days in early December during Art Basel in the Wynwood Art District in Miami, Florida, by more than 25 graffiti artists from around the world. The riot of murals is a result of cooperation between the Spinello Gallery, creative agency Blackbooks, New York-based creative-project think tank Landsea Ventures and paint maker Sabotaz. According to the organizers, Primary Flight, curated by Books III, Anthony Spinello and Lynn Yohana Howard, showcases some of today's most respected graffiti artists. The organizers recognize that as graffiti has become “art,” it has often left the back alleys and bridge arches of the world. Primary Flight’s purpose is to bring the essence of graffiti back by making concrete outdoor wall space available to artists and giving them free reign over it. This way, graffiti art can be viewed on the streets, in its most appealing format and in its original environment. What is most fun about massive open-air projects like this is that the actual creation process is accessible to all. Photographer Jeremiah Garcia documented the Primary Flight creative process ensuring that the art and its birth are preserved long after the walls are painted over. By Tuija Seipell |
