Lincoln Road is about to experience a moment of curated madness. During Art Basel, MILA Miami and MILA Lounge join forces with Philippe Carteau — better known as Philip Karto — the artist who took the idea of a “luxury handbag” and flipped it inside out, flooding it with color, pop icons, and calculated insolence.

For the occasion, Karto is taking over the second and third floors of MILA Miami, transforming them into a kind of post-luxury cabinet de curiosités: not an exhibition, but an aesthetic incursion. His bags, regenerated and repainted like nomadic canvases, become the perfect totems for a restaurant-lounge that has always played with the notion of controlled excess.

And because nothing in Miami is ever “enough,” Karto is unveiling a limited-edition capsule created exclusively for MILA — a tribute built on irony, craftsmanship, and that borderline energy hovering between European street-pop and tropical glamour.
The result? A collaboration that doesn’t ask for permission. A bold dialogue between elevated hospitality and the radical reimagination of the luxury object. During Art Basel, it’s common to see art everywhere. This time, you might actually want to wear it.
