From Parsons to Patio: The Fashion-Forward Guide to Sofia in Miami’s Design District

Sofia Restaurant in Miami’s Design District is the perfect excuse to finally wear that showpiece you picked up from a fresh Parsons or Central Saint Martins grad. The vibe? Eclectic, vibrant, and just the right amount of artsy—exactly the kind of place that invites a fashion moment.

If you’re not quite ready to go full avant-garde, at least skip the basics. Instead, opt for directional (but wearable) pieces from Acne Studios, Dion Lee, J.W. Anderson, BODE, or Loewe.

The restaurant’s patio is a visual dream: vintage blush-pink umbrellas meet futuristic white spheres, so take the hint and play with contrasts—soft pinks clashed with metallics, sculptural pieces next to romantic textures.

And yes, they serve Italian. So go ahead and add a splash of Dolce Vita to your look—whether that’s a retro cat-eye or killer shoes.

To develop your taste and creativity, save the photo of the location and try mixing and matching your own looks. You are welcomed just to use the Canva template I saved for you. Just collect your favorite fashion finds while browsing your go-to online stores, upload them to Canva, and drag them into the layout.

PS: This isn’t Sofia’s first cameo—she made an appearance in my Barbie Travel Guide too.
