· 2 min read · Miami Beach

When Miami Vice premiered in 1984, it traded Miami's headlines for teal, flamingo pink and white linen, and shot the Art Deco district like a runway. The look pulled designers, models and money back to a beach everyone had written off. The pastel South Beach you photograph today is partly a TV set that stuck.
