See the Art Basel Miami Beach wardrobe picks »
What with Victoria’s Secret taking its spectacular to London and Chanel hitting Salzburg for the annual Métiers d’Art show, this week is a busy one for fashion’s jetsetters. It’s heating up in our hood too, as Art Basel Miami Beach begins a weeklong art party south of the border.
Basel has become a necessary calendar event of late, with everyone from Beyoncé and Jay-Z to Pharrell hitting the scene in previous years. 2014 promises an equally thrilling roster with a perfectly-timed FKA Twigs concert, DJ sets by Solange at Soho Beach House, a Moschino fête for Jeremy Scott hitting the just-opened Thompson Miami Beach and, oh yeah, art.
Packing for a week of poolside parties, beach days and gallery hopping is simultaneously amazing and challenging---especially when you’re just beginning to accept that winter is here to stay. To help you prep (or just live vicariously), we asked 8 writers, designers, stylists and gallery folks to share their Art Basel Miami wardrobe picks.

“I like conditional things, conditional works of art—rainbows, for example. Almost no one paints the real colours of rainbows, misty-pale and lambent, like Agnes Martin painted them, so I’m asking the nail art stars of Vanity Projects to make Agnes Martin forgeries on my fingers. Bonus points: Martin was Canadian, so I’ll be repping.” —Sarah Nicole Prickett, writer Vanity Projects nail art (price on request, vanityprojectsnyc.com)
