While some of OFY’s inventory is created in-house, the store also carries other labels, such as the Swedish resortwear brand OAS and the French swimwear brand Atalaye. Meanwhile, OFY’s clothing is sourced, cut, and sewn right here in the U.S., and the prices reflect that. However, at a time when fast-fashion brands like Shein, H&M, and Zara are sending tons of waste into our landfills, OFY’s commit- ment to sourcing responsibly and providing high-quality goods certainly makes it worth the price it asks. What, you ask, does OFY stand for? It’s what you say when you lay eyes on the goods: Oh, Fuck Yeah! BEST SWIMWEAR Montce’s 3 area locations, including: 3015 Grand Ave., Ste. 110 Coconut Grove 33133 montce.com There’s just something head-turning about Montce swimwear. Maybe that’s because it’s genuinely rooted in South Florida’s sexy and playful aesthetic. Alexandra Grief started the company in her Fort Lauderdale apartment in 2009 for friends, eventually expanding to a showroom in 2013. Soon, the demand for her bikinis was high enough that she partnered with her brother to open up a headquarters in Fort Laudy. They’ve since started selling in Delray Beach and Coconut Grove, with plans to expand to West Palm Beach and Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour. Montce’s creative, classic, flattering, and eye-catching suits have been featured in Vogue and worn by celebs like Emily Ratajkowski and Chrissy Teigen. They also sell accessories and clothing to complement the suits for a complete resort or sandy-day look. BEST LINGERIE STORE Cosabella 12186 SW 128th St. Miami 33186 cosabella.com When it comes to homegrown lingerie with a beautiful, Italian flair, Cosabella stands in a league of its own. Founded locally in 1983 by Italian immigrants Valeria and Ugo Campello, Cosabella (“beautiful thing” in Italian) was born from the couple’s desire to blend the artistry of Italian lingerie and de- signs with the bold, sun-soaked energy of their new home in Miami. What started as a humble family-run operation has since grown into an internationally celebrated brand, all while staying rooted in its core values of quality and comfort. It’s rare to find something so sophisticated with its roots firmly planted in South Florida, but one look at these soft, feminine designs makes it clear that the Campello family is bringing the best of Miami to their custom- ers all around the world. BEST HEALTHY SPLURGE FF Gains shopffgains.com Jessyka Castillo started Fitness and Financial Gains, AKA FF Gains, in 2022 to motivate her- self and others to not only get in physical shape but to work on our mental health, too. She’s all about looking and feeling your best. A year later, FF Gains launched an athleisure clothing line. While a bra and leggings set can set you back anywhere between $90 and $125, the quality makes it worth every penny. Castillo personally tries every new item and puts it through a rigorous testing process, including all-day wear, workouts, and a few loads in the washer and dryer. The looks are anything but boring with a range of flattering cuts, colorful options, and summer plans to launch a swim- wear collection. If you see something you like, snag it while you can. Castillo only produces a certain number of each item to keep the drops exclusive and control the quality. BEST FASHION DESIGNER Carolina K 4300 NE Second Ave. Miami 33137 786-373-7355 carolinak.com There are pretty dresses, and then there are gorgeous, wearable works of art. Miami-resi- dent Carolina Kleinman makes the latter for her line Carolina K. Her designs have textural and visual details that stun and cuts that flat- ter. This is luxury wear, not for the everyday, unless your everyday is kickin’ it at a White Lotus resort. Kleinman is a globetrotter with former homes in Mexico, Bolivia, and Peru. To preserve and share the cultures of her for- mer abodes, she works with artisans in Latin America to craft clothing, and her Eterna Homewear Collection is handmade in Co- lombia. Kleinman’s stunning fashions are available online or at her new Design District store and studio.
