For fashionistas wanting to stand apart from the masses, a jaunt to Anya Ponorovskaya is in order. The Russian designer is a maverick when it comes to creating sexy, classic and perfectly tailored pieces — with a heavy emphasis on being one-of-a-kind. Anya’s eponymous Miami Design District store joins its three sister stores in New York called GirlCat.
Located near Oak Tavern, the sunny space exudes a seriously chic vibe. Stained concrete floors, Parisian-inspired white leather sofas and potted palms compliment the boutique’s stellar finds. Guests can scoop up Anya’s made-in NYC clothing and handbags boasting European flair. For heel-aholics, the designer crafts shoes as well, which are handcrafted in Peru.
A Miami Design District pioneer, locals and visitors alike can’t get enough of Anya’s cocktail dresses, flattering gowns, reversible A-line dresses and ballet flats. With the assistance of Anya’s “Girlcats,” AKA salespeople, clients can rest assure they’ll never go home with an ill-fitting garment. Now that’s the cat’s meow.
Anya Ponorovskaya, 35 NE 40th Street, Miami Design District, (305) 677-5008.
