Miami Made: Starring Amy Basoa
Heart of Sun was born from the vintage essence of Miami—a city that evokes iconic moments from the past. From its Art Deco buildings to the unmistakable Miami Vice energy, this city exudes 90s nostalgia. Shot in an original 1943 Art Deco home in North Miami Beach, the epicenter of Miami's Art Deco movement, this shoot captures the heart of where it all began. Miami-raised model and best friend, Amy Basoa, brings our vision to life, embodying the spirit of the city that inspired it all.
Timeless Glamour — Mon Amour Pieces
In front of our dream fireplace, an original shell-shaped feature and hallmark of Miami's Art Deco charm, Amy Basoa lounges gracefully. The soft, pastel tones of the Art Deco era complement the look as she wears our iconic Deia Cardigan Dress. This versatile piece can effortlessly transition from a glamorous linner ensemble to cozy loungewear, letting anyone feel like a glam girl. Paired with the Eden silver flat-finish bangles, Amy adds a touch of understated elegance, capturing the allure of both Miami’s history and Heart of Sun’s modern, vintage-inspired style.
Throughout the house, Amy lounges effortlessly in our Mon Amour collection, indulging her passion for fashion as she turns the pages of iconic fashion house histories. In our delicate Bisou shorts, she shows us how to lounge in lace. These dainty bloomer-style mini shorts are the perfect addition to any wardrobe, offering versatility to be worn however you’re feeling that day.
