Forge owner Shareef Malnik and Haute Living publisher Kamal Hotchandani launched Miami’s summer season in style with a Forge-glamorous unveiling of Haute Living’s July issue featuring Russell Simons on the cover. Festivities included a series of soireés, highlighted by a Haute Living presentation of the Moët & Chandon La Perla Black Label fashion show; Saks Fifth Avenue debuting collections that included Valentino and Dolce and Gabbana; and Miami Socialite Tara Solomon hosting a private birthday fete for 700 guests. There were more reasons to celebrate, especially after Malnik’s formal announcement that 2009 will see the opening of the newest Forge Restaurant at the Ottoman Palace, Dubai.
