Danié Gómez Ortigoza featured in Standard Hotels

If you’re still picturing Miami style as ’90s South Beach and Versace, get with the times. Amongst the style trendsetters currently making waves in the city’s scene, journalist Danié Gomez-Ortigoza (@journeyofabraid) caught our eye with her self-described “Floridian Frida look.” Not only is her singular colorful style and trademark braid inspired by her Mexican heritage, but it also carries a deeper meaning. She explains, “Every time I braid my hair, as I tie the final knot with the scarf, I think of how I can push forward in some way that day.” Her style speaks to a larger trend that she’s noticed in her fair city. As she describes it, “The growing art scene is having a huge impact on the visual stimulation of the city, and, by default, on fashion.”
