What the West Loop Based Kavi Gupta Team Wears to Schmooze The Art Crowd in Miami

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Welcome to the latest edition of Working It, where Racked takes street style to the next level—Art Basel Miami Beach. The litmus test of the true style-savvy is how she (or he) rocks a look while schmoozing and selling artwork to clients. Forget the pedestrian khakis and an actual office look—these fashionable professionals take the office dress code to a whole other dimension. Quick, somebody call HR!

Julia Fischbach, Director
Style advice when working the room: Parties are an important component of our job. I try to keep comfort and function in mind in addition to style when dressing for an event. I am there to have a good time but its still work. A little balance is always key.

Emanuel Aguilar, Assistant Director
Style advice when working the room: I know its Miami but I don't flip flop, ever. I try to keep the core simple and add touches of color and vintage bling for that special glitz and glam.

Style advice when working the room: I try to approach style with attention to details and history. At the end the best accessories for the evening events are good friends such as artist Kadar Brock.

[Peter is wearing a Gant flannel shirt, Supreme V-neck sweater, an original U.S. military coat, Topman black chinos and limited edition Vans]
Peter Skvara, Registrar and Preperator
Style advice when working the room: I think of style the same way I think of art, a mixture of adventure, academia, and astronaut in training flare. Go with your passions.

Style advice when working the room: Feeling good, looks good. Sop it up. [All photography: Ray Medina]
