F Factory Pop-Up Shop Opens
 |  |
There’s nothing wrong with dropping the occasional F bomb.
Especially in the case of F Factory, the multibrand pop-up shop opening today in the Design District.
Inside the Moore Building, high-end fashion houses have set up artsy micro boutiques, selling designs throughout the holidays.
Stop by Fendi for a needlepoint stitch kit, a canvas handbag that comes with colorful string (so you can customize your purse). Accessories designer Katherine Fleming displays her classic clutch reconceived by sixteen artists and sells her spring line. And Neon Monster, the hipster toy company, hawks limited-edition prints in the Cave of Wonders, complete with stalagmites and glowing tree stumps.
Also on hand: ultra-luxe — and pseudo-secret — Parisian clothing line Maison Martin Margiela and Christopher Ross’s gold-plated, hand-cast belt buckles.
Sure, the high-end lines may cost a pretty penny.
But f@#k it.
F Factory, in the Moore Building, 191 Northeast 40th Street, Design District.
It’s baffling to us that, in a city drowning in natural water features, we rarely end up at events that take place on the water. This weekend will be different, though, thanks to the second annual Downtown Miami Riverwalk Festival. Held at the confluence of Biscayne Bay and the Miami River, the festival aims to put Miamians where they belong. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday, the family-friendly event will feature a boat parade led by the Coast Guard, ethnic cuisine, face painting, clowns, strolling musicians, and your general allotment of festival-style pageantry. Admission is free and all are welcome, even pets. Call 305-416-6868 and enjoy the view.

From 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2009, until 7:00 a.m. the next morning, Miami Beach will stay up all night with more than 150 free arts and entertainment events presented at 80 different locations throughout the city. Over 100,000 people of all ages will enjoy free museum admissions, indoor and outdoor art installations and performances, architectural tours, dance (and dancing,) theater, music, slam poetry, film, video, fashion, acrobatics, comedy and more, including several unique collaborations and South Florida and world premieres.
The City of Miami Beach collaborates with every cultural institution in the city, and with numerous other organizations, businesses and individuals to ensure that Audi Sleepless Night includes all aspects and points of view of what we collectively call “the arts.” Free shuttle buses with onboard arts programming connect the four zones of activity and remote parking for the full 13-hour night.
1.SLEEPLESS NIGHT is FREE. Audiences of every socioeconomic level are able to share the experience more than 130 free events covering the entire spectrum of arts and entertainment.
2. SLEEPLESS NIGHT is HUGE. Our inaugural event drew over 100,000 people, two-and-a-half times the number of attendees at Art Basel or Wine & Food, and we are expecting more than double that at SLEEPLESS NIGHT this year.
3. SLEEPLESS NIGHT is CITYWIDE. Our goal of bringing ALL the arts to ALL the people means intensive programming in all of the diverse neighborhoods of Miami Beach. Free shuttle buses (with onboard movies and performance artists) run from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m.
4. SLEEPLESS NIGHT is COLLABORATIVE. The City of Miami Beach partners with EVERY cultural institution in the City (each with its own extensive membership outreach and networking program), as well as with private businesses and individuals, to ensure maximum participation and exposure.
5.SLEEPLESS NIGHT appeals to the ENTIRE FAMILY. There are performances and exhibitions for every possible audience, from pre-schoolers to senior citizens.
