Today we had an opportunity to meet yet another fabulous designer; Trina Turk. The designer really enjoyed her shopping experience at C. Madeleines, and we could see her obvious appreciation for beautiful prints, fabric and design by the amazing vintage selection she made. The designer is going local by opening up her new store in The Shops of Bal Harbour. Be sure to check out Trina Turk's fantastic line of clothes at:

Devon Aoki in C. Madeleine's


Earlier this week, model/actress Devon Aoki came into C. Madeleines after hearing the buzz about the store. She was on her way to the airport, and only had 5 minutes to look around. "I only have 5 minutes but I had to see the store." said the model. "Everyone is talking about it- they always tell me I have to check it out when I come to Miami". She then told Leslie [One of our C. Madeleines employees] more or less the stuff she is interested in, and told her to take photos of them and send it to her via e-mail since she was in a hurry to go. Aoki has modeled for the fashion houses LancĂ´me, Chanel, and Versace. She has also done ad campaigns for Chanel Ready to Wear, Chanel Couture by Karl Lagerfeld, Versace by Steven Meisel, YSL by Juergen Teller, Alessandro Del Aqua, Hugo Boss, Moschino, Ungaro, Fendi, Junko Shimada by Bettina Kimenda and Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons.
