Arrive is the best thing to happen to Miami fashion since Crocket and Tubbs. The 3000 square foot shop, opened in September 2005 in the heart of South Beach, is the collaborative creative vision of Dao-Yi Chow, former Creative Director at Sean John, Max Pierre of Miami’s famed Opium Group and former investment banker Dennis Jiu.

"With Arrive, we wanted to create a space that explored today’s global lifestyle of frequent travel, and what people do when they arrive in a new city,” says Chow.  “But it’s not just about the destination, it’s about the process of exploration. It’s about the thoughts and excitement you feel when you experience a new culture.” Chow’s vision is expressed in the way he curates the shop. Mixing an avant-garde designer sensibility with a street aesthetic, specifically edited to entice and enhance a modern tastemaker’s busy life, Arrive’s merchandise mix offers an eclectic array of apothecary, luggage, gadgets, books footwear and fashion from the most innovative labels – a first for the Miami scene.

Arrive serves as a laboratory for new product and projects from established designers and artists from around the world. Exclusive designer jeans by Prps and sneakers designed by Yohji Yamamoto for Adidas sit next to bags by traditional men’s wear outfitter Filson, designs by Hussein Chalayan and vintage Gucci sunglasses. Arrive  also carries exclusives, created expressly for the store from several designers each season. It’s the only store in South Beach to carry brands such as Cloak, Nicole Farhi, Alexander McQueen and BBC, as well as Nike White Label, Comme des Garcons, Anglomania by Westwood, Bell & Ross, Be & D, Nokia, Sony, Christian Roth, many others.
