The sun has set on the tenth Art Basel Miami Beach. Tents have disappeared overnight, and the Euros left a cigarette butt trail behind them. Although it still remains a mystery how a city with no noteworthy museums, and reputation for fleeting interest in just about anything other than basketball and beaches, can host an event of such proportions. But Miami has managed to put on quite the show. Here are our top five picks of what made this show worth the blisters on our feet.

For the opening of the Scandic Grand Central in Stockholm last weekend, the large-scale hotelier brought out the biggest and the best for a black tie gala in Sweden’s capital city. The soiree included a meet and greet in the hotel’s well-equipped acoustic lounge, followed by a dinner in the hotel’s Teaterbrasseriet restaurant, and an intimate performance by Grammy-nominated, Brooklyn-born performer and producer John Forté. Party-goers included frontrunners in art, design, fashion, and music. Guests were were given free rooms for the night, and encouraged to indulge in everything the newly renovated space has to offer, including the photo booth and sweet swag bags. More on how the Swedish 'downtown' mafia parties after the jump.

Designer Johan Lindeberg didn’t have to travel far to find the inspiration for his latest collection. The jet-setting founder of J. Lindeberg, the acclaimed urban lifestyle line where he served as creative director until 2007, and a onetime higher-up at Diesel and William Rast, Lindeberg discovered the future of fashion in, of all places, the pixels of his computer screen.

Street style photographers have been out in full force this week, bothering and validating the beautiful and well-heeled in equal measure. Personally, I find it incredulous that people would be anything but flattered if one of these rogue paparazzi stopped them for a quick pic -- I know people who spend their Saturday afternoons stomping around Soho in couture in the hopes of bumping into the Sartorialist.

Tonight, amply bearded Swedish designer Johan Lindeberg is celebrating the launch of BLK DNM, the world’s first (and surprisingly overdue) fashion line available exclusively by download. Rather than trudge home with heavy and possibly unseemly shopping bags, try on clothes in the “Galleri,” observe the on-site designers as they stitch and cut your futuristic duds, and punch in your order at one of the ipad stations dotting the Wooster Street space.

David Foote seems to be the character representation of his art. The surface: trendy, bright, and easygoing, with a devil-may-care posture that you could hang above your couch or share a shot of tequila with in some obscure downtown haunt. Scratch a bit at that surface and you’ll find and interesting juxtaposition, a slight exploration of darkness with a solicitous interior and spectacular call for detail. His work “The New Girls” is simple in its conception of graphic female faces. But darkness is in the details: the macabre looks, vacant eyes, and tiny slugs scrawled in the hair of his intrepid beauties.
