Issue 02

I love that Icetime Luxe is a noun and an adjective. “This is so Icetime Luxe” is an expression that has become a shorthand for devoted fans of the shop. At Icetime Luxe, we love to do things differently; we embrace innovation and challenge. Our intention with each issue of The Luxury District Magazine is to provide you with the same or even stronger emotional connection that you feel when you are strolling our shop. We want to offer you the whole picture and immerse you in the high-end universe of the famous designers, their realities, dreams, and successes, while at the same time giving voice to some amazing, artistic, personalities of the Grand Strand.

In this issue, we will continue Icetime Luxe’s legacy of supporting local artists that work in fashion, art, and beauty and who inspire others through their lives and ambitions. Danielle Espana, of Italian heritage, will awe you with her dreams that became reality, while Laura Gutierrez might help you uncover some of your hidden talents through her example and newly discovered passion for painting.

As you flip the pages, you will find out that our 2023 issue is heavily focused on all things Italian, since the majority of the brands we are working with are some of the most famous Italian fashion houses. Italians have had a very keen eye for fashion and things of beauty, and Italy is an endless source of inspiration and an example in the art of living.

Learn about the opulence of the Gucci Museum in Florence and all it has to offer, or who has been behind the Ferragamo brand for the past 60 years. We will also take you through the most beautiful residences of Florence, which offer not only a vacation stay but a thorough cultural enhancement and experience. Our fashion journey will continue to Milan, where our readers will get to enter Giorgio Armani’s giant world of haute couture and be forever touched by the power of excellence and enthusiasm.

Let’s stay connected, learn, and enjoy all the beauty that surrounds us.
