Flapper dresses from the Prohibition Era, an Audrey Hepburn-inspired cocktail dress from 1950, a flower power mini circa the Summer of Love, and a vintage Chanel gown that's totally timeless—all in one well-edited store. This fashion miracle is made possible at C. Madeleine's, a Gen Art favorite and one of Miami's best kept secrets...that is until now!

Because owner and founder Madeleine Kirsh has decided to go global, launching the ultimate vintage shopping Web site and bringing ten decades of fashion just a mouse click away for well-dressed girls worldwide. "Our online boutique is like a secret treasure chest for in-the-know fashionistas who covet authentic designer pieces from yesterday," she explains. "This is where you come to find an asymmetrical Halston dress that once glittered on the dance floor at Studio 54." C'est chic.

And C. Madeleine's only continues to expand; its men's department has grown three times in size over the past few years and an exclusive couture room now houses priceless designer pieces from centuries past—which might explain the need for that famed "fainting couch" at the store's entrance. So, the secret is out of the bag and your competition for that fantastic Diane Von Furstenburg wrap dress just got globalized...surf on over to C. Madeleine's stat, before some glam gal from St. Louis snatches it up!

C. Madeleine's is located at 13702 Biscayne Boulevard, (305) 945-7770.
