28 SUMMER 2018

I

love the summertime for so many reasons and enjoy it both in and out of New York City. There’s something so special about those endless summer nights, trips to Nantucket and Martha’s Vinyard with friends, beach weekends along the coast, grilling out, rooftop patio get-togethers and trips back to Wisconsin where I grew up, to watch the sunset from our boat on Beaver Lake, glass of rosé in hand. This summer, in addition to being very excited about quality time spent with all the people I love, I’m especially enthusiastic about allthings DuJour. Putting together the summer issue of DuJour has given me serious wanderlust (you’ve been warned; you’re going to be tempted to book a vacation after flipping through our pages). Our gorgeous feature on Fiji is making me think about finally planning a larger trip abroad come fall, and our city guides, now with the inclusion of Nantucket and Martha’s Vinyard, are conjuring up dreams of endless summer days spent eating lobster rolls and yachting along the shore.

Then there’s Chicago, one of my favorite cities in the world, which comes alive during the summer and fall months, rich with street festivals and outdoor dining spots.

No matter where on the map you find yourself spending your summer, I hope you make it a great one. Here at DuJour, we’ll be soaking up every moment—and we’ll be hard at work planning our fall issue!

CEO LETTER SUMMER 2018 Francesco Carrozzini, Dakota Fanning

S

ix summers ago, I was preparing to launch the very first issue of DuJour. Looking back, I am so proud of what DuJour has become, as we continue creating a magazine that gives our readers unparalleled access to the people and places that inf luence fashion, art, design, and business in each of our markets. On that note, I’m excited to announce this issue marks DuJour’s expansion into the resort communities of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. These beautiful New England destinations capture the beauty and essence of what DuJour represents.

Each issue of DuJour goes behind the velvet ropes of the most talked about cities in the country, many of which I’ve been privileged to call my home through my travels and launches over the past 25 years. High on that list for the upcoming season is Aspen, with it’s many summer food and wine festivals; Las Vegas, with The Cosmopolitan, under the leadership of Bill McBeath, has created unparalleled luxury suites with panoramic views for a truly distinctive resort experience; and Miami, where the city’s most famous streets continue to be reinvented with new hotels, boutiques and restaurants.

But above all, the place that’s truly near and dear to my heart is the Hamptons. It’s where I spend down time with my family and friends, and it’s where I kick off every summer with a Memorial Day party toasting DuJour’s cover star. Gurney’s Montauk Yacht Club Resort & Marina hosted the perfect fête for our summer cover girl Dakota Fanning. Guests started the holiday weekend watching the sunset from the patio of the resort, sipping Whispering Angel rosé and getting a first glimpse of all the exciting changes happening at the iconic Montauk property.

That party—and the many others DuJour hosts throughout the year—is a special way for us to connect with our respective community, and toast the partners that fuel our continued success (Thierry Collot at Zenith watches and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City in particular were instrumental in our recent Hamptons kickoff event). It’s very fortunate to be able to deliver the magazine from my backyard with our exclusive Hamptons estate drop, targeting some of the most prominent homes from Westhampton to Montauk. I’m also excited that one of my favorite New York City restaurants, Cipriani, is coming to the Hamptons for the first time with their new catering service, Cipriani On Location. I’m sure Italian food never had it so good in the Hamptons.

No matter where your voyages take you, Du Jour w ill be there for you.

Here’s to enjoying and celebrating all Jason Binn Twitter/ Instagram: @jasonbinn things DuJour on behalf of myself, my family, and our team.

How Van Cleef & Arpels is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its legendary (and lucky) Alhambra collection.

lain Bernard laughs when asked to name his favorite pieces within Alhambra, the iconic Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry collection that has spawned seemingly endless combinations of metals, gemstones and other materials since its debut 50 years ago. “I personally love color, so when we use coral or malachite, for example, those stones truly give life to the collection,” says Bernard, CEO of the Americas for the Paris-based jewelry house. “But I also really appreciate the very classic styling, such as black and white in onyx and diamonds.”

Alhambra’s clover motif was the brainchild of Jacques Arpels, nephew of Estelle Arpels, who founded the eponymous jewelry house in 1906 with her husband, Alfred Van Cleef. (History books will tell you Alfred founded the company with his father-in-law, gem dealer Salomon Arpels, but Estelle’s own passion for precious stones influenced the house from its beginnings.)

A second-generation family member who joined Van Cleef & Arpels in 1932, Jacques was a big believer in the role luck plays in one’s life and was fond of giving four-leaf clovers found in his garden as gifts, often accompanied by poems he had written. His devotion to the idea of the fourleaf clover as a talisman led Jacques to create the first Alhambra necklace in 1968, a lengthy gold sautoir highlighted by the repeat of the diminutive clovers stationed at equal intervals.

From the beginning, each clover has been edged in “gold pearls,” a textured detail that, not unlike a more traditional lucky charm, invites a woman to touch the piece while wearing it. But Jacques also had other thoughts in mind. “How it became an icon is not by accident, rather, it’s a story of passion, creativity and newfound freedom,” Bernard says.

Fashion trends in 1968 were undergoing a sea change. Yves Saint Laurent had founded his Rive Gauche ready-to-wear boutique in Paris two years earlier, creating a democratic approach to women’s clothing that was both elegant and an affordable alternative to haute couture (he would open his first New York boutique in 1968). Designers like Paco Rabanne and Mary Quant, meanwhile, had embraced miniskirts as part of a bold new stance that mirrored the growing sense of feminism taking hold in Paris, London, New York and points beyond. It was within this environment that Jacques Arpels sought to create a jewelry collection that also conveyed a modern attitude, as well as a sense of effortlessness and versatility the wearer would appreciate.

“It was such a rich time from so many angles,” Bernard says of the period. “There was this tremendous unleashing of creativity and a celebra-

prices ranging from $6,350 to $63,500: mother of pearl in deep gray, paired with pink gold and diamonds; white gold with onyx and diamonds; yellow gold with rock crystal; and yellow gold with lapis lazuli and diamonds. The latter two designs should draw intense interest among collectors, especially the lapis, which hasn’t been seen in Alhambra since Jacques Arpels released the initial 1968 styles.

“I am with clients almost every day, and there is an unmistakable addiction about Alhambra,” Bernard says. “All you have to do is check social media; everything you ever wanted to know about Alhambra is there. Collectors are always waiting for the next piece to come, and rumors are flying around all the time.”

Fifty years after Jacques Arpels’ first necklace, one aspect is sure to remain a constant, Bernard says. “We love to explore nature, it’s a big part of the DNA of Van Cleef & Arpels, but always in a positive and benevolent way. As we like to say, ‘Our animals have no claws, and the roses have no thorns,’” he notes. “Alhambra is simply very happy jewelry, and it’s limitless. That’s the beauty of creating in our world.” vancleefarpels.com ■

tion of the increasing power of women,” he says.

“Elegance, freedom, versatility, and the ability to be bold and audacious in your choices—this is the personality that is deeply embedded in this jewelry.” Grace Kelly and Romy Schneider were among the women who wore early Alhambra designs, while Jane Fonda, Reese Witherspoon and Blake Lively can often be seen wearing current pieces.

Yet, even as Alhambra has continued to evolve, the techniques used in creating the pieces have changed little over 50 years. Bernard compares the process to high jewelry, with every piece handcrafted in the Van Cleef & Arpels workshops, while an exhaustive search for wellmatched stones is no different than the quest for perfectly matched emeralds or rubies destined for a high-jewelry necklace. “Sometimes it takes years to get the right stones and the right materials,” Bernard says. “We need to be patient. To wait one, two, five or 10 years, if that’s what is needed, that is what we do.”

To celebrate the anniversary, Van Cleef & Arpels released four limited-edition designs with

Charlotte Olympia marks its 10-year anniversary with a swimwear collaboration with Adriana Degreas.

FOR A DECADE, CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA’S plucky, pin-up-inspired designs have winked to the past. But for its 10-year anniversary, the brand, founded by property heiress Charlotte Olympia Dellal, is embracing change by teaming up with Brazilian designer Adriana Degreas for its first swimwear collaboration—a capsule collection of bikinis and maillots, cheeky swim caps and water-safe sandals for both adults and children.

Bursting with bold prints and rich colors on high-waisted, ‘50s-esque silhouettes, the collection draws inspiration from golden age-star Carmen Miranda.

“She represents the playful spirit of our country, the exotic and glamorous beauty with so much attitude and style,” says Degreas.

Degreas and Dellal also have overlapping clientele, like Emma Roberts and Poppy Delevingne—an It-girl pedigree that’s channeled in the capsule collection’s campaign featuring Swiss socialite Sabine Getty. “I’ve always wanted to work with Sabine and thought this was the perfect time to collaborate,” says Degreas. “She is a muse of mine and also a very close friend of Charlotte’s.” adrianadegreas.com

“Hublot is about craftsmanship and a very refined execution and that to me is what my art is about: doing whatever it takes to create a visual that I think is important to create,” says Shepard Fairey. “The amazing thing about working with Hublot is that they say, ‘we can try anything that you want’; they were very open to anything that I wanted to experiment with and they take a lot of pride in pushing the envelope in terms of technique.”

“While all of our artist partners are world renowned, joining forces with Shepard Fairey truly raises the bar for our ‘Hublot Loves Art’ program in terms of scale and prominence, as Americans would easily recognize his iconic work,” says Jean-Francois Sberro, President of Hublot North America. “For the Shepard Fairey timepieces, we worked closely to translate the elements that are characteristic to his art on a micro-scale to retain a look that is signature to both brands.” hublot.com ■

t isn’t often that watch brands team up with people outside the industry for timepieces, but when they do, it is typically with classic artists or architects. Hublot, however, has blazed new ground by building relationships with today’s most popular street artists. The newest collaboration, announced in Los Angeles at a large-scale celebration, is with the highly renowned Shepard Fairey whose works are in the collections of such prestigious museums as Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Fairey is not only a contemporary street artist, but also a graphic designer, illustrator and activist. Among his more famed works is the Barack Obama “Hope” poster, created in 2008 during the US Presidential election. He is also the founder of OBEY Clothing and creator of the well-known “Andre the Giant Has a Posse” sticker campaign.

One of the most avant-garde contemporar y watch brands on the market, Hublot’s main concept in watchmaking is the Art of Fusion, which is also its tag line. Under that umbrella, wherein the brand fuses new materials, concepts and more, it has several offshoot campaigns including “Hublot Loves Art.” In this project, the brand has teamed with different artists, such as Romero Britto, Chen Man, and now, Shepard Fairey to create special timepieces.

The new Big Bang Meca-10 Shepard Fairey watch is part of the Big Bang Meca-10 family of Hublot watches that was first unveiled to the world two years ago. The concept for the watch was inspired by the classic Meccano mechanical construction toys, and the watch movement has a geardriven mechanical aesthetic. The bold architectural design of the skeletonized manually-wound movement, with a 10day cogwheel power reserve indicator, is comprised of 223 components. The HUB 1201 movement is designed to offer 10 days of power reserve, hence the name Meca-10.

For the Big Bang Meca-10 Shepard Fairy series there are two timepieces being offered, one in gray with bold red accents, and one in blue. Each version boasts several features designed by Fairey. For instance, there is an opening at 3:00 that displays Fairey’s “Star Gear” logo. Additionally, a red dot is reveled when the movement’s power reserve has run low; juxtaposed to that dot is a gear wheel at 6:00 that indicates exactly the number of days left of power reserve.

Crafted in a 45mm carbon fiber and Texalium case with a décor designed by Fairey, each Big Bang Meca-10 Shepard Fairey watch also sports a rubber and calfskin strap with embossed design that ref lects Fairey’s distinctive artwork

Mane Event

Could customized shampoos, conditioners and other hair-care treatments spell the end of bad hair days forever?

BY KARI MOLVAR

S

itting at my laptop, I placed my order by checking off things like gluten-free, vegan and my preferred farm-fresh ingredients. I felt like I was ordering a salad when, in fact, I was picking out my shampoo from Prose, a new customized hair-care line that lets devotees build natural, eco-certified products from scratch. In five days, I would receive my kit, complete with a gentle cleansing shampoo (no silicone, please), a color-protective conditioner (hold the heavy oils) and a volumizing mask, all tailored to my exact hair type and climate conditions, infused with my preferred violet scent and stamped with my name on the bottles.

Welcome to the world of personalized hair-care, a rapidly expanding market filled with smart-tech brands that want to radically transform the traditional one-size-fits-all approach. In the era of customized everything (sneakers, vitamins, lipstick), one could argue that hair-care has lagged sorely behind. Whether in the drugstore or at the salon, the range of formulas only speaks to pre-determined hair types and needs, the ingredients may contain outdated chemicals or animal by-products, and the search for a suitable match usually involves a lot of time, trial-and-error and half-empty bottles in your bathroom. And frankly, women—and men—are over it.

“I realized how unhappy people were with the products [out there],” says Zahir Dossa, the co-founder of Function of Beauty, a customized hair-care brand based in New York. Most companies, she contends, “don’t have the ability to target each person as an individual,” a problem that she solved by building a team of cosmetic scientists, MIT engineers and developers. That team devised a proprietary algorithm that delves into strand structure, scalp moisture and 17 different hair goals (from fixing split ends to de-

fining curls) to blend shampoos and conditioners precisely calibrated for each client. “No two formulas are ever the same,” she says—literally, there are “more formulas than there are humans on earth.” Similarly, Prose analyzes 85 data points, including your diet (vegetarian? low calorie?), where you workout (indoors or out?) and if you color (permanent or semi-permanent dye?) to devise its bespoke blends, which are made from a pantry-like lab filled with 76 natural ingredients and scents sourced from Provence.

Getting this personal allows brands to directly zero in on those whose hair needs have been largely ignored or underserved until now. Form, for example, speaks to women from all different ethnic backgrounds who have a variety of textures. Online consultations touch on how you cleanse (perhaps with conditioner, co-wash, oils or nothing at all), what styles you wear (extensions, weaves, wigs), if you chemically treat your hair (with straightening, for example, or if you’re transitioning off it) and if you have braids or locs, among other factors. After probing this data, Form gives you a cu-

rated routine to follow using ready-made products from their collection—think 3-in-1 leave-in lotions, elongating curl crèmes and moisturizing pomades.

More inclusive hair-care means rarely talked-about issues— like hair loss—are now part of the customization conversation.

Danish clinic Harklinikken, for instance, now offers online assessments to diagnose hair loss and thinning (an issue that affects 45 percent of women and men in the U.S.). Clients are given a madeto-measure Extract, a liquid composed of ingredients derived from plants and cow’s milk (and occasionally a low-strength minoxidil), along with a personalized regimen of shampoos and conditioners to stimulate regrowth.

Beyond the convenience factor, the results are impressive.

Founder Lars Skjoth says clients typically see a “30 to 70 percent increase in hair quality and amount,” and the concept has taken off so well that he plans to open a clinic in New York City this summer.

German dermatologist Timm Golueke, M.D., meanwhile, recently started offering his prescription-strength, bespoke Stimulating Serum to clients he meets with via FaceTime, and to maintain thickness and density, he launched an antioxidant-rich shampoo and root-strengthening supplement Stateside this spring.

For some, though, thinking about your mane on such a micro level can be overwhelming. What if you’re not sure about your scalp’s hydration level or whether your strands are of medium thickness? In that case, having an expert weigh in can be hugely helpful. Prose, for example, partners with salon stylists who can guide you through their online assessment, and Beauty of Function opened a lab in New York City this spring where you can work out your formula with a pro (and see it made on the spot). At Schwarzkopf Professional’s forthcoming SalonLabs, slated to arrive in the U.S. this year, you can get really sci-fi: stylists measure your strands’ moisture level, color tone and overall health on a molecular level using a handheld tool outfitted with near-infrared and light sensors. In true Jetsons-style, a Customizer machine takes all that data and mixes up personalized products, dispensed in bottles while you wait. With zero guesswork involved, consider this the wave of the future. ■

Function of Beauty creates shampoos and conditioners unique to you; Form’s collection includes cleansers, conditioners, stylers and finishing products; stylists help you select the correct Prose formulations.

Louis Vuitton debuts a fragrance collection for men, inspired by the house’s history of exploration.

BY JILL SIERACKI

I

f your company is more than 160 years old, like Louis Vuitton, it’s hard to imagine there is anything that hasn’t been done. Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening in 2018 as the luxury house introduces its first fragrances for men.

Developed by Louis Vuitton’s master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, the collection includes five different scents, each inspired by the brand’s history around travel.

“I was dreaming about perfumes that a woman would love to smell on a man,” says Belletrud. “I wanted to create a unique personality for our fragrances, with very specific emotions.”

To date, Louis Vuitton has released seven aromas for women, including Le Jour Se Leve, which was introduced in March of this year.

For men, Belletrud crafted L’Immensité, a spicy blend of ginger and grapefruit; Nouveau Monde, that mixes leather with cocoa and saffron; musky Orage; the lemon- and cedar-based Sur la Route; and Au Hasard, that combines sandalwood with cardamom. “If we look at fashion for men today, we can notice a lot of colors, flowers and freedom,” says Belletrud of the collection, which took five years to produce. “Nowadays, men dare to wear colorful clothes, they are more disruptive, less classical, but still chic. It is time for men’s perfumes to be in the same mood. Perfumery for men is evolving, just as fashion is.”

Belletrud, who also created such iconic scents as Jean Paul Gaultier Classique and Opium Pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent, began studying fragrance under the tutelage of his father, a perfumer, at age 8. By 18, he created his first formula; he was named Louis Vuitton’s master perfumer in 2012. “Creating a perfume awakens one’s most hidden thoughts, deepest recollections, it questions the most intimate and profound part of our personality,” says Belletrud, whose inspiration for the collection is drawn from his exotic travels and experiences, including sampling Mayan hot chocolate in Guatemala, as well as his home base of Provence. “I start from myself, from my thoughts, then I try to enclose them into a perfume bottle. I believe creating a fragrance is recounting one’s self, but without running.”

Similar to the women’s collection, the men’s fragrances are contained in apothecary-esque bottles that are exquisite in their simplicity. Silver caps differentiate them from the brass-topped scents for women; the engraved LV recalls the symbol that runs throughout the brand’s leather goods. “I want people to have the delight of wearing something exceptional,” says Belletrud of Les Parfums. “You must recognize a Louis Vuitton perfume in the street. Not because it is too powerful, just because it’s good. For me, this is the definition of luxury.” us.louisvuitton.com ■

ver since Danielle DuBoise and Whitney Tingle changed the concept of nutritional delivery programs with the launch of their company, Sakara Life, celebrities and wellness junkies have been fawning over their plant-based meals. Now, the girls have launched a new program designed to help you feel your best in 10 days—but this time you’re the chef.

The 10-Day Reset marries the core philosophies of the Sakara Life nutrition program (beauty water, detox teas, probiotics) with 20 of the program’s most popular plant-based recipes that you can make at home. “Some people enjoy cooking for themselves, so our new program allows us to continue to be their nutritionist while they get to continue their chef skills,” says DuBoise. “This program is designed give you that glow in 10 days by healing the gut and flooding your body with all the nutrients it needs to feel and look its best.”

Start your morning by whipping up a mineral-rich beauty water, keep your energy up with plant protein-rich energy bars, and fuel your mind, body and soul with nutrient-dense meals that have become the favorites of Sakara Life devotees (butternut squash tacos are the girls’ favorite dinnertime recipe). “Studies have shown that your gut can begin to shift within days of switching your diet,” says Tingle. “You will absolutely see and feel a difference in your body in 10 days. Remember, your microbiome (that six pounds of bacteria living in your gut) is dictating almost everything about your health—from your mood, ability to lose or gain weight, energy levels, sex drive and skin clarity. sakaralife.com ■

TH ERE ARE SH ELVES OF BEAUTY PRODUCTS that do great things for your sk in a nd ot hers that do great things for the world. But natural beauty pioneer Leila Janah’s lu xur y skincare line, LXMI, does both.

Pronounced “LUX-me” a nd na med a f t er t he Hindu goddess of beauty and prosperity, LXMI’s products are safe enough to eat, and also give work to women in East Africa.

“I came up with the brand because I believe in clean beauty, and the first step towards this is to get rid of any existing toxins,” says Janah. “The second step is to then add in things that are good for you.”

Four years ago, while visiting an outpost of her Northern Uganda nonprofit, Samasource, a digital company that lifts people out of poverty through work, Janah discovered nilotica, a natural shea butter or coconut oil equivalent that contains more than 25 percent additional fatty acids. The entrepreneur saw the superfood being used by women in East Africa to heal wounds, soothe scars and as a plant-based medicine for various ailments.

Nilotica became the signature ingredient in her luxury line, including her signature “everything” product, Pure Nilotica Melt. “It’s 2018, we shouldn’t have to choose between a luxury experience and doing good in the world—the two are one and the same.” lxmi.com

hile getting glowy isn’t a new trend in beaut y, “nontour,” the term to describe using illuminator without the contrasting darker shades, is decidedly less familiar.

But for Aussie model Jessica Hart it’s the secret behind her lit-from-within luminosity and the cornerstone of her beauty collection, LUMA. “LUMA is all about luminous, glowing and radiant skin,” says Hart of the line that’s made from crushed pearls. “We wanted to find an Australian-made ingredient that would illuminate the skin in a healthy, natural way. A f ter a lot of brainstorming and sourcing, we decided that pearls were our key ingredient.“ Hart’s mom taught her early about leading a healthy, holistic lifestyle and it’s a philosophy she’s infused into both her product line and her beauty beliefs, which include anti-concealing and embracing uniqueness. “I have been in the modeling industry for over 10 years now and I have tried many skincare and makeup products,” says Hart. “When I first created LUMA five years ago, there was a huge gap in the market for affordable, natural products that took pride in its formulations and was true to its ethos.

Our skincare and makeup products are all about making your skin radiant and luminous, as well as looking healthy and natural.”

All of LUMA’s skin and makeup essentials are formulated to enhance natural and authentic radiance.

The main ingredient, pearls, reportedly offer light reflecting properties that instantly even the appearance of your complexion, heal imperfections, reduce redness, and assist regenerating anti-aging collagen.

Pearls are also rich in amino acids and minerals for intense hydration.

The line, which includes both skincare as well as cosmetics, contains no parabens or sulfates and does not test on animals. Hart herself uses much of the line in her own beauty regimen. “I’m always trying new

ormer tech mogul and current artist Arthur Becker acquired three townhouses in SoHo as part of an investment and development deal, but he wasn’t committed to the idea of actually living there. “I was going to just stage one of them,” he says. “A broker friend suggested doing Holiday House there and introduced me to Iris Dankner.”

Dankner, an interior designer and breast cancer sur vivor, founded Holiday House in 2008 to benefit breast cancer research. Becker and Dankner met at a showhouse event in the Hamptons, and they agreed to meet again in Manhattan to discuss using the new townhouse

as a location for the next fundraiser. “After the showhouse he wanted me to stage the townhouse, rather than design it for his personal use,” says Dankner. “Eventually he decided that he wanted to live there, and he got more and more involved in the design decisions.”

The pair was a perfect match—Dankner has a fine arts degree and she understood Becker’s need to be surrounded by art, his own and others. Becker liked Dankner’s sense of style, and the fact that she appreciated his collections of ancient objects. “There is a stillness to these rooms with the neutral colors and the light,” he says. “It feels like a loft space. I love sitting in the parlor surrounded by the things I love. Antiquities have a deep resonance.”

Becker’s art and aesthetic were an important factor in the design. Although he took a long and successful detour into the business world, he majored in ceramics and photography in college.

His artwork Money Mandalas and Moneyflies merge both of those worlds. “I have a relationship with money, and a fascination with it,” he says. “I’m interested in the ways people assign value to things.”

In both series, Becker transforms currency into another form by 3D printing and then folding the notes, origami-style, into butterf lies and shapes. The Mandalas series is inspired by the geometric shapes of Tibetan thangkas, and Money Flies questions our perceptions of value, vanity and ego. The origami butterf lies, made from currency, are set on backgrounds of fashion colors like Hermès Orange and Tiffany & Co.’s Scuba Green.

He is currently at work on a large-scale installation for the St. James Building in Boston.

Having already installed Money Mandala and Money Flies in the space, he is expanding that project with a set of dining tables and chairs that are created from coins and primitive objects. “I collect antiquities, so I thought it would be interesting to take these objects which are quite small, and 3D print them and scale them up,” Becker says. “The 10-foot, cast aluminum tables are based on an African scroll that is 8-inches long. The chair backs are scaled-up Qin Dynasty coins shaped like a truncated man with f lared pants. The seats will be made of plexiglass, so that they disappear, and it will just look like a row of coins.”

This use of technology allows Becker to appreciate the antiquities that he loves in a new way, by making them modern, but preserving their geometry, scale and gestural qualities. Says the artist, “These things represent the history of man and man’s societal development. With the use of technology I am trying to make them part of modern life.” ■

OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO PRODUCE ENOUGH WHISPERING ANGEL TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND. THAT’S A GOOD PROBLEM.” —PAUL CHEVALIER

Paul Chevalier oversees all of Château D’Esclans’ rosé varietals including Whispering Angel, Rock Angel, Les Clans, Garrus. and new this year, The Palm.

This theory was solidified in New York City this past winter; Whispering Angel was nowhere to be found on store shelves—it was so popular during summer, the island of Manhattan nearly ran out of it.

The rosé phenomenon has risen quite dramatically in recent years with the launch of wines that are redefining the stigma associat-

ed with rosés in general. Rosés of the past were always identified as sweet, sugary, syrupy wines, but today’s varietals couldn’t be farther from that. “When rosés from Provence f inally became available in the U.S., we evolved from the old generation U.S. rosés which were mostly the sweet/blush style to something bone dry,” says Chevalier. “The overall quality of rosé production (specifically f rom Provence) d ra matic a lly improved through investment in winemaking technology. We went from ‘cheap and cheerful’ to producing good wine.”

Which is perhaps the reason why rose clientele is changing. “It’s no longer more female driven, but almost an even split male/female; definitely the chic and discerning wine consumer.” esclans.com ■

Suite Deal At Collection Suites, Miami’s Fayen family turned a passion project into every car collector’s dream.

W

hat do you do when your car collection has outgrown your home parking spaces? Father-and-son team Juan Manuel and Lino Vicente Fayen were faced with the same predicament, and in response, they developed Collec tion Suites, an exclusive complex opening this summer where car aficionados can create a personal retreat among their prized passions.

“It’s a place where you can enjoy your collectibles while watching a football game with your friends, conducting a meeting or closing down a deal,” says company COO Lino Vicente Fayen whose family’s collection of 15 cars includes a 1963 Maserati Mistral 4000 GT Spyder and a 1965 Shelby Cobra. “It goes beyond storage.”

While specialized garages abound in most luxury markets, Miami’s Collection Suites forms a private atmosphere. Each unit—there are 38 in total, ranging from 2,200 to 2,600 square feet in size—features upscale amenities such as Italian tiles, Swiss wood floors, wet bar with wine fridge, Sonos entertainment system, bathroom with luxury finishes, integrated security system and automated LED lights. Owners can also store wine, art and other collectibles.

More importantly, Collection Suites offers complete anonymity. “We don’t have a common area,” Fayen says of the compound comprising four heavily guarded buildings. “If owners want to meet their neighbors, they can. If they don’t want to, nobody is going to see or know who is here.”

Although the idea of luxury car condos has been a popular one in South Florida in recent years, Fayen’s is the first project to be completed. “There’s a niche, but we did this at first because we needed the space for ourselves,” says Fayen, whose grandfather, Franco-Venezuelan racecar driver Lino Fayen, was a sixth-place finisher at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959.

“My family was always surrounded by cars.”

Starting at around $836,000, Collection Suites aim for the top of the market. But for high-net-worth collectors, price seldom plays a main role in decision-making. “That’s the beauty of collecting,” Fayen says. “It’s more emotional than logical.” collection-suites.com ■

One Kings Lane makes a splash in Southampton and SoHo.

ince opening last summer, One Kings Lane in Southampton continues to offer chic home accessories and contemporary furnishings for the beach set, providing home-obsessed clients with inspiration to add a little graphic punch, or to completely redo their rooms.

Since launching in 2009, One Kings Lane has proven itself to be a design mecca for shoppers.

Though the 3,500-square-foot Southampton store opened originally as a seasonal pop-up shop, ahead of its two-year anniversary it has become a successful brick-and-morter addition to the local scene. This summer there is a full slate of special appearances and in-store events planned.

To set themselves apart from the rest of the East End home boutiques, One Kings Lane also features an eclectic selection of one-ofa-kind vintage pieces ranging from furniture to accessories. For inspiration, check out the colorful surfboards hanging on the walls or the ornate bubble and rope artwork adorning the ceiling.

As the brand continues to grow, they are gearing up for the fall opening of their New York City flagship store in SoHo. Housed in a 200-yearold Federal-style building that was originally built as a residence, it now boasts a glass addition and 3,500-square-feet of retail space.

“Our first shop, which opened in Southampton last summer, set the tone for this new store, and future stores to come,” says president Debbie Propst. “It was important to us to find the right space—one that has deep roots in the local community and provides the perfect backdrop for the storytelling we do around our product.” onekingslane.com ■

An Island Paradise Renewed

Two years after a devastating cyclone, Fiji has rebounded as a culturally immersive destination, particularly for jetsetters attracted to both luxury and ecotourism.

I

t was 45 minutes past our appointment time, and the phone still hadn’t rung. I checked my inbox and found an urgent email asking to reschedule my call with Andrew Griffiths, owner of the new Six Senses Fiji: Tropical Cyclone Keni, a category 3 storm with projected 115 mile-per-hour winds, was due to make landfall on Fiji in less than 24 hours.

As I sat safely at home some 8,000 miles away, I frantically checked the news, worried that history was about to repeat itself. Just two years ago, this South Pacific island archipelago was devastated by Tropical Cyclone Winston, the most intense storm to ever hit the Southern Hemisphere, causing 44 deaths and nearly $1 billion in damage and losses.

Thankfully, Cyclone Keni changed direction, heading out to sea rather than barreling toward Viti Levu, the largest and most populous of Fiji’s 333 islands, where recovery from Winston has been hard-fought.

As unpredictable natural disasters become more commonplace (consider the U.S. and Caribbean following last year’s catastrophic Hurricanes Irma and Maria), it would seem that the fate of such a remote paradise hangs in the balance. And yet, Fiji has fearlessly rebounded—nowhere more so than the tourism industry, which accounts for 40 percent of the country’s GDP. In the last two years, there have been a bevy of new resort developments and increased flight service (including a direct route on Fijian Airways from San Francisco to Nadi International Airport).

And travelers have taken note: Last year, Fiji saw more than double the annual visitors of similarly castaway-chic destinations, like French Polynesia and the Seychelles, plus a 17 percent increase in U.S. tourists. In an area roughly the size of Washington State, there are more than 250 resorts, ranging from backpackers’ outposts to six-star stays like Laucala, a private-island resort owned

by Red Bull billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz, that’s hosted everyone from Oprah to Ludacris.

The appeal of Fiji isn’t the hotels, however; it’s the people. “Fijians are the most loving, genuine beings that you’ll ever encounter,” says Annette Sordoni, luxury travel consultant at Protravel International. “From the first ‘bula,’ their version of ‘aloha’ or ‘ciao,’ to the time you board the flight home, you’re greeted with smiles and sincere kindness.”

While many f ly-and-f lop destinations aim to deliver such an over-the-top-experience that it becomes insular (butler service so you don’t interact with hotel staff, tricked-out accommodations designed to make you never leave the room), Fiji’s top stays encourage the opposite of just lounging beachside all day. At Nanuku Auberge Resort, for example, one of the hallmark experiences is the

Endeliquid utesequ iature es acerrum nulparinetur sequaes torerferum idellia eprovid quis quam quid eaque posant mollupt assunt, nestrum quia audi conectam con eriorat as prectec tatur, quas sum qui dolore volorerum dolore offic te as inus sdf apeliquo beatin con re conse omnihilique sdf cus maxim quod que repu dip idigenit velignmus, et dolores doloreris mos

“Food Safari,” in which guests shop at the local market, go crabbing in the Lobau River, and participate in a traditional Kava Ceremony, where a welcome offering of kava root is made to the Lobau village chief (who then turns it into a mouth-numbing drink shared by all). As Nanuku General Manager Sascha Hemmann explains, “We fully embrace the local culture and even pair guests with a Cultural Ambassador from the Nanuku Tribe who can teach them about Fijian customs.”

An immersive experience is also available for visitors entranced by the local environment. At Kokomo Private Island—on the southern fringes of the archipelago, in the Kadavu island group—guests have access to 40-plus dive sites on the Great Astrolabe Reef. This scuba-diving pinnacle is filled with kaleidoscopic soft corals, underwater caverns and all kinds of aquatic life—from manta rays to green turtles and spinner dolphins.

Though the resort has every imaginable luxury (21 villas set on pristine white sand, a Turkish style hammam), Kokomo’s sustainable practices sets it apart. Every structure is made from local timber, stone, and crafts, and 70 percent of produce comes from the nearly six-acre garden, making meals truly “farm-to-table.”

Mindfulness is also at the core of the just-debuted Six Senses Fiji, an eco-chic resort on Malolo Island that is entirely solarpowered by Tesla batteries and prohibits the use of plastics. This sustainable ethos has become central to the guest experience: You can tour the organic gardens, participate in beach clean-up and even assist with coral planting just off the shore (a marine biologist was enlisted to introduce coral gardens years before the resort even opened). As Griffiths put it when we spoke on the phone a few days later, “Seventy percent of the world’s oxygen comes from the ocean, so if we can do a little bit in our own backyard to promote the growth of coral and marine life, we’re going to do it.

That’s what being a global citizen means.”

If you were to imagine a course for Fiji’s recovery from Winston, sustainable tourism wouldn’t be an obvious one, but it’s become a fruitful one. This remote paradise is inextricably linked to foreign visitors, but its emphasis on the local culture and the environment are essential. Fiji has to be more than just a box to check off the bucket list; it has to be a place of deep, personal connection to the people and the land—which is exactly what you feel upon hearing that final ‘bula.’ ■

etting out of a major city on a Friday afternoon during the summer is the equivalent of trying to sw im a 1500m ra c e i n d r ied mud. At least it used to be; enter, the chopper. Rush-hour traff ic, which prevents you from arriving at your summer house until half the weekend is gone, is suddenly no longer a cause of anxiety as you blade over the traffic quells and land in mere minutes at your destination, sans road rage.

Patrick Day, CEO of private air charter company Foxtrot, says helicopter travel has evolved the way that people vacation these days, allowing customers to seamlessly arrive at their destination without waiting in crowded airport lines, or dealing with rush hour traffic. They make sure the entire experience is safe, and headache-free. “We have our own f light department, we hire and train the pilots, we purchase and lease the air-

crafts, and we’re the only company that has that in three markets (New York, Miami, Los Angeles). That’s what makes us so unique.”

Passport to Well-Being Health-minded jetsetters are finding more and more high-end resorts creating unparalleled packages that offer rejuvenation and transformation.

A

t most high-end resorts, a spa is as standard as Egyptian cotton sheets and concierge services, but it’s no longer enough to only offer massages and detoxifying skin treatments.

Wellness is the new wealthy and discerning jetsetters are looking for higher level spa services—and are willing to spend to get exclusive access. According to the Global Wellness Institute, healthminded tourism revenues grew to $563.2 billion from $494.1 billion in just two years.

“High-end healing is on the rise as travelers are now seeking vacations and moments that can help them relax, destress, detox and allow time to connect with their self,” says Rakhee Lalvani, VP of Taj Hotels corporate team. “The more hyper-connected we get with the rise in technological innovation, the more the need to switch off and retreat to a spa.”

But the term spa is so general. After all, what hotel doesn’t have at least one treatment room for facials and massages and space for yoga? That’s why major hospitality players in the saturated market are looking for ways to stand out. That has bred a new trend-within-a-trend where luxury hotels are offering elevated and exclusive wellness experiences only available at their properties.

Some destinations are setting a higher bar by welcoming just a limited number of guests at any one time.

For example, the Golden Door in Escondido, California only allows 40 guests per week to attend, The Ranch Malibu hosts just 18 guests at a time for their wellness retreats, and COMO Shambhala in Bali has under 50 rooms available, all of which are privately perched in the jungle.

Another method of appealing to clients is by offering access to big names in the wellness industry who host retreats, create classes, or develop spa treatments, allowing visitors to become immersed in their teachings.

The Four Seasons, for example, has rolled out programming across their portfolio: The Four Seasons Ho-

tel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills enlisted famous energy healer Jeannette von Johnsbach to perform BioMeditation balancing energy services during which she removes guests’ negative energetic blockages. And the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown just launched a Resident Healer Program where they rotate offerings from world-renowned healers like Deganit Nuur, creator of The Nuurvana Method, Rashia Bell, creator of The Cristalline, and Snow Shimazu, creator of Air Beautiful.

“Our guests may be sleep deprived, overworked, jetlagged, tech-obsessed, overindulged city dwellers that want a balance of traditional and new innovative experiences, and it’s our job to provide creative offerings that deliver,” says Tara Cruz, the spa director at Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown. “Our Resident Healing sessions will allow you to gain new insight, new perception, and clarity. All unique sessions provide a one-of-a-kind experience that creates a sense of balance and understanding.”

Montage Hotels & Resorts recently announced a partnership with celebrity wellness coach Kelly LeVeque while The Spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles collaborated with California-favorite House of Intuition to create crystal healing therapies for guests. The Mandrake Hotel in London enlisted celeb-favorite practitioner Louka Leppard to create a Tulayoga program for the property that combines massage, inverted yoga, meditation and the use of breath to release withheld emotion, physical tension, and stress. “A treatment with Louka is one of the most calming and restorative experiences I have had in a long time,” actress Sienna Miller once boasted.

But more than just having big names in the wellness industry attached to big names in the luxury hospitality industr y, high-end properties across the globe are going out of their way to be the star attraction for people who travel to cater to their wellness fantasies.

wellness experiences and treatments. For example, guests can partake in the Payment to the Earth ceremony—an ancient ritual for giving thanks to the Andean gods, performed by a local shaman—and a unique Pachamanca dining experience when a traditional Peruvian dish is cooked underneath the ground.

Rosewood Mayakoba just introduced the Marry Oneself Journey.

The four-day personal retreat focuses on self-love, was inspired by ancient Mayan traditions, and is designed to re-connect guests with their inner selves. The personalized luxury experience includes a series of guided rituals led by the hotel’s resident shaman and spa experiences, culminating with a ceremony of self-commitment.

Zemi Beach House Hotel & Spa in Anguilla recreated the bathing rituals of the Taino Indians, who are indigenous to the island. And Taj Hotels offers locally-inspired services at their signature Jiva Spas, like the saffron-infused bath at Taj Usha Kiran Palace, which is accompanied by live classical music akin to ancient royal traditions undertaken before an important coronation or wedding ceremony.

Even Las Vegas, the City of Sin, is jumping on the wellness wagon.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is one of only three hotels in North America to have a traditional Turkish hammam.

“The world of luxury hotels is evolving rapidly, and sophisticated travellers are looking well beyond the resort spa, seeking to return from holiday feeling leaner, fitter and more mentally acute,” says Samantha Gee, Executive Director of Zen Savannah, a luxury travelplanning company. “This is where a good quality health retreat can play a key role, providing a kick-start to a healthier lifestyle with sound advice, a motivating environment and, above all, the time to focus on yourself. Because of that, this trend isn’t going anywhere any time soon.” ■

lexander McQueen’s death in 2010 inspired an outpouring of tributes to the radical designer whose runway shows, which seemed to stop time with their boundarypushing themes and deep historical referenc e s , h ave b e en monu ment a l i z e d i n blockbuster exhibits. (“Savage Beauty” drew a combined 1 million visitors.) Now, his rags-to-riches ascent to fashion royalty will be canonized in three upcoming films, including McQueen, a documentary arriving in theaters July 13.

Through interviews with friends and family, as well as 150 archival sources, the film’s codirectors, Peter Ettedgui and Ian Bonhôte, unspool McQueen’s almost-20-year career—a superhuman yet sensitive task. “A lot of people decided not to take part because it was too raw for them to talk about on camera,” says Bonhôte. “We had a responsibility to respect that while still trying to tell our story.”

The best resource into McQueen, says Ettedgui, was the clothes. “He used to say, ‘My work is my biography. Look at my work and you’ll know who I am.’ We took that as an instruction.”

Opening on an image of a human skull—a fundamental McQueen trademark—the film sets out to peel back the layers of the designer’s prodigious genius, which was propelled by both preternatural talent and a troubled upbringing. Born Lee Alexander McQueen to a cab driver and a teacher, McQueen grew up in London’s rough East End, suffering abuse at age nine by his sister’s husband. After leaving high school, he found refuge in making clothes. “We wanted to choose the aspects of his childhood that were relevant to his work [such as] the fact that he was an outsider and gay in a very patriarchal society,” says Ettedgui.

The film is organized into six chronological chapters, or “tapes,” each named for a seminal McQueen runway show. Act one, “Jack the Ripper Stalks His Victims,” highlights McQueen’s graduate thesis at Central St. Martin’s, which foreshadowed his lifelong fixation with the macabre and self-sacrifice—on one of the sanguinary looks, McQueen fastened a lock of his own hair. The show caught the eye of the late editrix Isabella Blow, who bought the entire collection, becoming McQueen’s kingmaker and friend.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN IS AN ICON TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN A MISFIT.” — IAN BONHÔTE

What followed is fashion history. McQueen, both at his own house and eventually as creative director at Givenchy, repeatedly set the industry ablaze—sometimes literally. From his controversial 1995 show “Highland Rape,” in which models hobbled down the runway in tattered silks and ultra low-rise pencil skirts, to 1997’s “It’s a Jungle Out There,” which included a spontaneous petrol fire, McQueen’s runways were one show-stopping feat of originality after another.

Up until his final show—2010’s “Plato’s Atlantis,” featuring the cyborgian boots later worn by Lady Gaga—McQueen was fashion’s foremost disruptor. “He brought things on the catwalk that didn’t have any place on the catwalk,” says Bonhôte. “He didn’t just see conventional beauty; he’s an icon to everyone who has been a misfit.” ■

Family Drama Naked Brothers Band alum Alex Wolff stars in the fright-fest Hereditary.

n the f ilm Hereditary, the Graham family is on the losing side of the genet ic lot t er y. W hen Gra nd ma Ellen, not the milk-and-cookies type, pa sses away, it unlea shes a n ev il, seemingly genetically linked, force upon mom Annie (Toni Collette), dad Steve (Gabriel Byrne) and their two kids, Peter and Charlie. It’s Peter, played by Alex Wolff, who bears the brunt of the deeply hair-raising domestic psychodrama that ensues, and the experience often followed him off the set. “I completely immerse myself in what’s going on. You’ve got to lose yourself a little bit,” Wolff admits of his acting style. “The movie is pretty upsetting and it was a pretty upsetting experience making it.”

Backed by A24, the independent film company behind Lady Bird, Hereditary has horror fans buzzing thanks in part to director Ari Aster, whose haunting short The Strange Thing About the Johnsons also centered on a family plagued by demons.

Wolff, on the other hand, is known for more harmonious family dynamics: as a tween, he was one half of the sibling duo on Naked Brothers Band, a Nickelodeon movie-turned-TV series created by his mother, Polly Draper, and costarring brother Nat. “My introduction to the business was working with my family and friends, and everything was loose and fun,” Wolff says. “It was a good experience. I’m super proud of Naked Brothers Band.”

After NBB, Wolff played a therapy patient on HBO’s In Treatment opposite Hereditary costar Byrne, who became a real-life father figure. “He’s the person that I’ve worked with who has probably inspired me the most,” says Wolff. “After In Treatment, he said, ‘We are going to work together again and you’re going to be a star.’ I reminded him of that on Hereditary he was like, ‘No. I definitely didn’t say that.’ I was like, ‘I’ve been carrying that around for the past seven years!’”

After the intense three months spent shooting Hereditary in Utah, Wolff got a tattoo on his right shoulder to mark the experience. “It’s a circle shape and it was sort of a representation of me coming out on the other side,” he says.

And Wolff isn’t done sacrificing for his art; he recently wrote, directed and starred in the film The Cat and the Moon, which he says may have been his most taxing to date. “It was also very dark and emotionally demanding, so I’m continuing to torture myself,” he laughs. “But it was also the most fun experience I’ve ever had. It’s turning out to be something special, so I’m excited.” ■

Food Fight

Jonathan Safran Foer continues his crusade against factory farming with a new documentary produced by Natalie Portman.

T

he food landscape has changed significantly since acclaimed author Jonathan Safran Foer published his nonfiction debut Eating Animals 10 years ago. Oat milk happened; Beyoncé went vegan; Reba McEntire played Colonel Sanders in a KFC commercial. And yet, the bleak reality of factory farming presented in the book remains the same: it’s a major cause of virtually every single environmental issue, from water pollution to biodiversity loss, and it produces more greenhouse gas than all other factors put together.

These facts now form the basis of the timely-asever documentary version of Eating Animals, coproduced by Foer w ith Oscar-w inning actress and longtime friend Natalie Portman, whom he credits with conceiving the adaptation early on. “I gave her a draft while I was writing the book, and she said it would make a great documentary,” says Foer.

Laced with Foer’s trademark mix of lush imagery and existential dread, the film, also narrated by Portman, traces the unlikely origins of factory farming to 1923 when a Delaware housewife named Sylvia Steele received an oversized order of chicks. “She started raising them inside rather than outside and regulating the lighting cycle so that it seemed to be day when it was actually night,” Foer explains.

That accidental discovery, as the film illustrates in full, unf linching color, eventually led to today’s fast food industrial complex—one that wasn’t easy to document, even with Foer’s foundational text. “It took a long time to make [the movie],” he says. “[Director] Christopher [Dillon Quinn] traveled all over the world and accumulated tons of footage. It’s a very complicated story to tell and that resists telling because factory farming as an industry is very secretive.”

But meat’s stronghold may be weakening, says Foer, thanks in no small part to a growing number of pro-veg celebs. “Nothing is more powerful than when people like Beyoncé come out and say, ‘I’m not going to tell you what do to, but I’m going to share with you why I do what I do—that’s the beginning of the end,’” says Foer of the singer, who recently launched the vegan meal planning program 22 Days.

With Eating Animals the book and now the documentary under his belt, Foer is undeniably an apostle of the no-meat movement. But, he says, he’s hardly vying with Queen Bey to be the nation’s foremost vegetarian influencer. “Whether I’m cooking, ordering at a restaurant, or grocery shopping—I don’t think of myself as a vegetarian,” he says. “I think of myself as an eater who’s trying to be conscientious. And it feels good to try.” ■

In a new documentary based on his book, Eating Animals, Johanthan Safran Foer explores the damage to the environment created by factory farms, and the benefits of sustainable and humane farming, such as on the Good Shepherd Poultry Ranch in Kansas.

Famed New York City chef Jonathan Benno opens three Italian eateries in NoMad’s Evelyn hotel.

efinitely take the cannoli at the new Leonelli Focacceria e Pasticceria, one of three establishments chef Jonathan Benno, of Per Se and Lincoln fame, opens this summer in the hip Manhattan neighborhood of NoMad. Indeed, Benno is inventing a new food destination at The Evelyn hotel on East 27th Street. Besides the pastry shop, a casual trattoria with a bar and lounge launches in June while a fine dining restaurant is in the works for the later part of this year.

“With Leonelli Focacceria e Pasticceria, we are bringing back the old Italian-American pastry shop,” says Benno, who grew up within an Italian-rooted community in Connecticut. Yes, there will be bombolini and biscotti, but also a variety of focaccia, sfogliatelle and the ubiquitous cannoli. The bakery will open onto the street and offer lunch and afternoon treats. No need to bring your tablet though; on the sleek mezzanine above, Assouline will curate a collection of its beautifully illustrated books.

Leonelli Taberna takes its inspiration from the great Roman trattorias but with an added bar and lounge area for innovative cocktails. Antipasti, arancini and even a spaghetti carbonara croquette accompany Italian and private label wines. Piccoli piatti (small plates) include baked ricotta, meatballs and a tripe preparation. Most pasta comes “al forno”—think lasagna al ragu bolognese, but with both a rotisserie and a massive steakhouse-style broiler, there will be plenty of action and delicious aromas on the floor.

Details on Benno, the fine-dining restaurant, are still somewhat mysterious but the chef promises what amounts to an ideal Mediterranean cruise, “at the junction of France and Italy with Portuguese and even Moroccan accents,” he says.

This is Jonathan Benno’s most personal project to date and for those who have followed him around, taste buds ablaze, his most exciting one. theevelyn.com ■

WE WANTED TO CHANGE HOW people approach wine and make it a fun thing, regardless of the level of wine you’re drinking,” says Joey Letchinger cofounder of Wine Larder, a personalized wine service that can curate tastings, source rare bottles and enhance your collection.

Letchinger, the former sommelier at Manhattan’s Maialino, launched the business alongside Chase Sinzer, former wine director at Momofuku Ko, and since the company’s inception, the duo have guided clients ranging from people under 30 who want to impress a new boss to wine collectors who want to explore rare categories and further their expertise.

The entry-level into Wine Larder’s services is what Letchinger calls a “benchmark tasting.”

This intimate sampling opportunity walks clients through a typical menu, then offers them techniques to grow and develop their palette, such as hosting an intimate preview of eight bottles of the same vintage wine dating back to the 1960’s and noting the differences and how things have changed.

For more experienced collectors, Letchinger and Sinzer can expand their personal wine collection to include rare bottles that are often difficult to source and broaden their knowledge of higher-end varietals. “The person who put together [a restaurant’s] wine list knows it better than you, even if you’re a wine professional,” says Letchinger. “My favorite piece of advice is to never be afraid to ask for help.” winelardernyc.com —Kasey Caminiti

ith long f low ing hair, bronzed skin, an armful of thick bangles and sculptural rings on every f inger, Australian artist Bella Hunter could easily be mistaken for one of the bohemian girls twirling in the fields of Coachella or dancing the night away at Ultra in Miami. However, raised in a musical family, Hunter would rather be on the stage than in front of it, rocking a crowd with her hit dance track, “Waves,” with Erick Morillo, or beats from her upcoming summer release through Armada Music.

The daughter of Marc Hunter, the lead singer of Australian band Dragon, Bella was raised to appreciate the poetic sounds of classical music, and was inspired by everyone from Nina Simone to Ella Fitzgerald. “There was this 24/7 immersion in

music with an entirely comprehensive subliminal musical education before the time I was 10,” Hunter says of her upbringing, which initially led her to a career in songwriting. “Being able to write for other artists and DJs is one of the most rewarding and humbling experiences.”

Hunter later moved from Sydney to Los Angeles to New York where she was exposed to a wider range of sounds, including Daft Punk, which became a pivotal moment in her life. “I didn’t know how much they would inf luence my respect for house music,” she says.

Today, a self-proclaimed electronic artist, Hunter says her vibe lives loosely in house music. “I reference the term ‘Sunset House,’ which has a chilled, sexy, beautiful island or rooftop vibe—full of happiness and def initely something you can dance to,” she says of her blended genre. ■

“W

e’re not in the mindset of re-carpeting and putting some memorabilia on the walls; we thought it was very important to either present a product that was going to be brand new, or to not do it at all,” Hard Rock International chairman Jim Allen says of the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, which opens June 28 in some prime oceanfront real estate on the Atlantic City boardwalk. The new venue—the result of a $500 million investment—includes 3,500 revamped hotel rooms, a state-of-theart casino, 20 restaurants and two theatres, including the Mark G. Etess Arena which was expanded to include over 7,000 seats. And of course, there’s an 80-foot guitar adorning the brand new façade.

In addition to announcing the property’s opening date, Hard Rock also released its initial entertainment lineup—putting 60 shows on sale simultaneously. “Ticketmaster told us that in their history, that’s never been done before,” says Allen of the schedule that includes Carrie Underwood, Maroon 5 and Florida Georgia Line, as well as other types of entertainment such as the Broadway hit Kinky Boots in the fall and comedy by Amy Schumer and Jon Lovitz. “Music is important, but we’re also doing a whole Broadway show series and we will be hosting the first world-championship boxing fight that will be televised on HBO,” says Allen. “We have a very eclectic and hopefully exciting program. Com-

bine that with world-class dining and the aspect of the casino entertainment, I think there is a new level of interest to come see the resort.”

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City takes over the space vacated by the defunct Trump Taj Mahal Casino. Billionaire investor Carl Icahn acquired the property from Trump before the casino shut down in 2016 following profit losses of up to $350 million, making the Taj the fifth casino in Atlantic City to close that year. Attempts have been made to revive the former gambling and entertainment mecca with luxury resorts such as the Borgata Hotel & Casino, which is marking its 15th anniversary, and the Revel, which opened in 2012, closed just two years later and now is planning to reopen this year as the Ocean Resort Casino.

In 2017, Florida-based Hard Rock International took over the 4 millionsquare-foot Taj site. The company’s rock-and-roll spirit, an exciting entertainment roster of global superstars and unique on-site shopping experiences, like the fun Sugar Factory candy boutique, is setting the property up for long-term success.

But it’s more than just creating a one-stop resort destination; Allen says that by investing in Atlantic City, it will hopefully encourage other properties to commit to building a thriving tourism industry around the Jersey Shore. With nearly 30 million people located within a three-hour drive from Atlantic City (including express bus service from Manhattan), a large audience is attainable if the quality is there. In addition, the Hard Rock will introduce 3,000 jobs back into Atlantic City. hardrockhotels.com ■

t’s been almost four years since Derek Jeter played his last game at Yankee Stadium, but he’s far from retired—he’s the CEO of the Miami Marlins and continues to be active in the Turn 2 Foundation, the philanthropy he founded his rookie year that encourages kids with education and leadership programming. “I developed a passion for giving back at a young age,” says Derek. “My father, who was a drug and alcohol abuse counselor, and my mother, instilled in [my sister] Sharlee and me the

The organization and book go hand in hand in keeping the message of positive change alive, and both Sharlee and Derek are encouraged by today’s socially active youth. “It’s so inspiring to see young people around the country use their actions—and their voices—to make a difference,” says Derek.

“Through our programs, we strive to provide our Leaders with opportunities to create positive change and empower youth nationwide to follow their lead.

We believe that it is crucial for young people to have the support, guidance and inspiration to make positive, constructive decisions that will help them to lead successful lives.” ■

Today Sharlee Jeter is the President of the Turn 2 Foundation and works closely with her brother on the organization’s programming, including Jeter’s Leaders, which recognizes high school students who achieve academically, stay drug and alcohol free and are engaged with their communities.

“We’ve never waivered from our goals and expectations from our kids,” says Sharlee. “We made a point to have kids from all different backgrounds.

We said all of them can have the same academic expectations; all of them have a voice, and their voice is important. All of them can work together to have a common goal.”

This summer, Sharlee is inspiring others beyond the youth community with her first book, The Stuff: Unlock Your Power to Overcome Challenges, Soar, and Succeed, a self-help tome she co-wrote with Dr. Sampson Davis, who pulled himself out of poverty to become an emergency room physician and founder of The Three Doctors Foundation, which inspires inner-city youth with education, volunteerism and mentorship programming. “One of the things we’re trying to do constantly is show kids their potential,”

With a yearlong goal of saying yes, actress DAKOTA FANNING is embracing projects both big and small, as well as a new chapter in her career—as director.

by JILL SIERACKI photography by FRANCESCO CARRONZINI styling by DEBORAH WATSON

DUJOUR.COM 94 SUMMER 2018

W ith many of Dakota Fanning’s earliest projects, such as I Am Sam, War of the Worlds, and The Cat in the Hat, regularly popping up on cable television, the actress is, for many audiences, perpetually frozen in time as a tween. However, at 24 years old, Fanning is most certainly not the cherubic little girl in those films and the projects she has undertaken in recent months further demonstrate her evolution.

This summer, Fanning appears in the all-female remake of Ocean’s 8, costarring Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna and Mindy Kaling. “Even before I was involved in any way I was excited about the idea of an all female Ocean’s edition,” says Fanning. “I loved Ocean’s 11, Ocean’s 12, so I’m so excited to see that vibe inhabited by such talented women and I like that my name is attached to a cool group of ladies.”

Weirdly, a role in a 2018 crime caper is a total 180 from her previous project—as Sara Howard, the first female police officer in 1896 New York, in TNT’s The Alienist, which costars Daniel Brühl as psychiatrist Dr. Laszlo Kreizler and Luke Evans as society bon vivant-turned-investigator John Moore. The 10-episode series based on Caleb Carr’s 1994 novel premiered to solid ratings in January, and message boards are already buzzing about the possibilities of a second season, potentially based on the follow-up novel in Carr’s Dr. Kreizler series, The Angel of Darkness. It was Fanning’s first television project since the 2002 Taken mini-series.

A fan of Criminal Minds and other hardboiled dramas currently punctuating America’s televisions and podcasts, Fanning was interested in exploring work on the small screen when she was approached about The Alienist script. “The stories that were being told [on television] and the shows I was watching were so good,” she says. “I read the first three episodes and loved the character, loved the story.”

Fanning’s character, Sara, was expanded from the original novel to become one of the three series leads. In an era of #MeToo, it’s a challenging role to watch as she faces harassment and discrimination as the only woman in a turn-of-the-century police department, working directly for newly appointed commissioner Theodore Roosevelt. But as the story unfolds, we see her strength and tenacity. “The first scene that we meet [Sara], she is not so quiet and not so nice,” says Fanning. “It was just about sprinkling different seeds—whether it’s over 10 hours or 2 hours, you’re usually hinting at what’s to come in subtle ways for your character.”

Attempts had been made to adapt The Alienist since the novel came out, but the richness of the characters and the depth of the story had made it too extensive for a two-hour film. But the success of other limited series, such as American Crime Story, opened the door for a television adaptation that allowed the plot to unfold over 10 hours. Jakob Verbruggen directed the first three episodes and after, multiple crews ran simultaneously to complete the project. Says Fanning, “I kind of thrive in that pressure situation of the jump-

ing back and forth between the units. Some of the other actors were like, this is crazy, but I just went with it; it was fun.”

A large-scale series like The Alienist was a new endeavor for TNT, and no expense was spared in its creation. Sets included fully propped storefronts on constructed streets that come to life in aerial photography, as well as an under-construction Williamsburg Bridge that plays a significant part in a key episode. Michael Kaplan, who created wardrobes for Star Wars: Episode VIII, among others, produced period-specific costumes for each of the characters.

“As Sara goes along, her clothes get more tailored and slightly more ‘masculine’ for the time, and feel a little bit more like armor,” says Fanning. “In terms of the restrictive nature of the clothes and the corset and having to be helped to get dressed in the morning and having to be helped to get undressed, it just puts you in a different mindset.”

Sara’s ties and the trousers also helped visually transform Fanning from the doe-eyed Fern of Charlotte’s Web into The Alienist’s gun toting badass. “I think that idea has been constructed by other people; it’s not necessarily how I feel about myself,” she responds to the idea of being typecast in roles best described as “sweet.” “I’m drawn to darker material a lot of the time. When I think about the work I’ve done, I feel like I see a lot more darkness than light.”

The Alienist’s material—hunting a serial killer through the seedy underbelly of turn-of-the-century New York brothels—is decidedly dark. Even Fanning found the series penultimate episode (which she watched alone in a hotel) terrifying. However, the costars kept things light on set, and those are the memories she sees watching the show in real time. “Just because you’re in something serious or something scary doesn’t mean you’re serious or scared the whole time during the making of it,” she says. “You’re trying to make it as real as possible, but you know how not real it is.”

Filmed over seven months in Budapest, Hungary, the series was one of Fanning’s longest time commitments to date. “I hadn’t been away from home for that amount in time in a long time, so I was nervous about it, but it ended up being a nice break from my life,” she says. “How often do you get to just skip town and live in Europe for a summer?”

Also new for the actress was the experience of interacting with people who were watching the show unfold week after week. While Fanning herself isn’t on Twitter, costar Luke Evans kept her appraised as to fan reactions on social media. “It felt like a much more connected experience than when a film gets released,” she says. “Great material is great material wherever it lands. I [love that it was on cable] because it’s so accessible for people to watch and that’s ultimately what you want—for people to be able to see [your work] as easily as possible. We’re thinking less and less about where people watch things.”

By all accounts people were watching—The Alienist’s premiere drew 3.1 million viewers; cumulatively it brought in 13.1 million, half of who were new to the network. Another 16 million saw the series through online streaming.

Hence, it’s no surprise that Fanning appeared at the network’s May Upfronts

and the buzz around a potential second season isn’t slowing down. “There’s nothing confirmed, but I think it’s definitely safe to say that we would all be open to seeing if there was another part of the story to tell because of how great the experience was and how much we each love our characters,” says Fanning.

“But I also think what’s nice about it is there’s a satisfying end, because we really do tell the story of the book, and The Alienist is bookended. Sometimes it is frustrating when you feel like it is too much of a cliffhanger at the end.”

After the series wrapped, Fanning returned to America to make her directorial debut, a short film for Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales, titled Hello, Apartment, written by Liz Hannah (cowriter of Oscar nominated film The Post). Fanning’s was the 15th in the series that celebrated femininity in the 21st century with shorts made by women filmmakers including Zoe Cassavetes, Ava DuVernay and Chloë Sevigny. “I definitely don’t take any project for granted or take my career for granted by any means, but the area of my life that I’ve never stressed about was acting,” says Fanning, who foresees always having a career in entertainment, both in front and behind the camera. “That’s a really happy place for me. I stress about other areas of my life, but I don’t really worry about [getting projects] and I just have hope that it continues. I just trick myself into being calm and then everything follows.”

So far, that mantra seems to be working. Born and raised in Georgia, Fanning got her start doing commercials. But her family recognized her aptitude and passion, and brought her out to Los Angeles for six weeks to meet the West Coast arm of her agency during pilot season. They stayed with an aunt, visited Disneyland, and watched as opportunities began to roll in. “For years my mom would say that we still live in Georgia; we’re just here because this ‘thing’ is happening,” says Fanning, who recalls the first time she was recognized by a fan, shopping at The Gap with her mom at age 7, not long after the release of I Am Sam. “My mom was constantly making sure that I knew I didn’t have to do this, and that actually she would rather be back in Georgia. But also, my mom recognized something in me and recognized potential and recognized the love that I had for acting. You can tell when somebody really wants to be doing something, whether they’re 2 or 20—you can tell when somebody is happy and I was. I looked at it as fun and the Internet wasn’t the way it was, so I was only affected by the people that I was interacting with on the set. It wasn’t like people were talking about how I looked at 7 years old in a negative way because we didn’t really have that yet.”

Bigger roles followed and so did Fanning’s younger sister, Elle Fanning, who today is a star on the rise in films such as The Beguiled and Trumbo. “It’s crazy how that is something that Elle and I are always asked about, if we’re competitive with one another,” says Dakota. “We’re normal sisters, we’re not some super evolved species where we have never felt competitive or have never felt jealous, but we have a great dynamic. There’s no person I want to succeed as much, or

more than, myself than my sister. If there ever was a time where [we were up for] the same part, the person that I would want to get it if it wasn’t me would be her.

People who don’t know us, who just see us and think, Oh they must be so similar because we look similar and ‘are’ similar to the naked eye, but we’re so different,” she continues. “Anyone who knows us or spends any amount of time with the two of us, we’re immediately very different and so I don’t think either one of us really worries about the crossover because something is either right for her or right for me.”

Another area where Fanning is remarkably unaffected is social media, where she only maintains a presence on Instagram, which hit the mainstream when she was a senior at North Hollywood’s Campbell Hall Episcopal High School, where she was a cheerleader, homecoming queen and a member of the prom court, among other “normal” high school activities. “The way I think about my Instagram is what I share, if it’s true and it’s real then I don’t feel weird sharing it,” says Fanning. “There are some things I wouldn’t want to share, because I don’t want anybody beside a close friend to know that. It doesn’t really have anything to do with being ‘famous’; I’m not an over-sharer in general whether people know who I am or they don’t. [I feel like] if it’s personal, you don’t share.”

Having every element of her life the subject of fascination is something that just rolls off Fanning’s back—whether it’s curiosity about the Miu Miu gown she wore to the recent “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” Met Gala, sitting with boyfriend Henry Frye at a Prada fashion show, or just leaving a magazine interview at New York’s SoHo Grand Hotel, where a number of paparazzi were outside the door, snapping photos as she walked downtown. “[For people] that goes either one way or the other—one way being that it drives you crazy and makes you obsess over it and freaks you out, which is totally valid,” she says. “Or its what I feel I am, which is because it’s always been there, I’ve gotten so used to it that it doesn’t bother me at all. I just live my life as if nobody knows who I am, which I think has always been important to me because maybe one day, nobody will know who I am. I like [acting], and the rest of the time, I just do what I got to do to live the life that makes me happy.”

And, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t comment. “People as a whole need to curb how they speak about other people in general, famous or not,” adds Fanning. “You can be so anonymous on the Internet and say the worst things—that’s totally unfortunate.”

Today, without another project on the horizon, Fanning’s plan is to just “be open” to whatever comes her way next. “I did set one goal this year and that was to say yes more than no,” she says. “I don’t know if there’s been anything that’s been out of character, but there’s been a lot of travelling. I don’t have a ton of responsibilities, I don’t have any kids, I’m not married, so I’m taking advantage of the fact that I’m in this free time in my life and I just want to be open to it.” ■

KNOWS WHO I AM, WHICH I THINK TO ME BECAUSE MAYBE ONE DAY, LIKE [ACTING], AND THE REST OF THE TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT MAKES ME HAPPY.”

The new Torre at the FONDAZIONE PRADA stimulates new ways of looking at Contemporary Art.

newly completed Torre, which opened to the public for the first time this spring, provides a dramatic last act to the foundation’s sprawling cultural compound dedicated to the manifestation of ideas across the spectrum of art, literature, cinema, music, philosophy and science. Housed in a former distillery and designed by celebrity architect Rem Koolhaas’ firm OMA (the Office for Metropolitan Architecture), the Fondazione Prada is now the largest privatelyfunded contemporary art museum in Europe, with approximately 13,000 square meters of exhibition space as well as a restaurant, two bars and a cinema. The Torre, a nine-story, white concrete monolith, dominates the skyline of Milan’s industrial Largo Isarco neighborhood and presents an asymmetrical façade that transforms according to the viewer’s perspective.

From the start, the Fondazione Prada campus was conceived as a range of exhibition spaces within existing buildings and new structures that would challenge how works of art were viewed and received. “The idea was a citadel of art, made of different buildings, spaces, programs and materials. You have a juxtaposition of the existing buildings, the white cube, the Podium, the Cinema and outdoor spaces,” says lead architect

Federico Pompignoli. “The fact that the buildings were already divided or detached made it the perfect opportunity to insert the different exhibition typologies into different buildings. You could create a series of episodes, a patchwork of different conditions, and you could experiment with different exhibition set-ups in various spaces.”

If the renovated distillery buildings speak to the “refurbished industrial” typology, such as that found at the Tate Modern, and the Podium building, constructed in 2015, which showcases the “art fair” typology with generic, flexible spaces that can be reconfigured for different exhibitions, then the Torre is a riff on the “white cube,” typically a pure, featureless environment that interacts minimally with the artwork and will not interfere with its reception. However, the architects at OMA turned the concept on its head. “We didn’t surrender to the idea of designing a traditional white cube,” says Pompignoli. “OMA is not a fan of this typology. We believe in an open relationship rather than a system of isolation between art, the environment and visitors.”

By playing with the spatial parameters of each story in the tower, the architectural team designed a series of nine “special conditions,” so that no two floors are the same. The core of the building, normally at the center of a tower structure, was moved to the south, creating a wedge-shaped

footprint in order to gain open gallery spaces to the north. The galleries were then cantilevered above the building’s triangular foundation in a sequence of alternating floor plans—some triangular, others rectangular—that extend over the public street beyond the property line. The architects also increased the ceiling height by close to two feet from one story to the next, creating a progression in height from just under nine feet on the first floor to nearly 28 feet at the top. In addition, each story boasts a wall of windows that faces to the north, east or west, drawing upon the mutability of natural light in different weather conditions and at varying times of the day. The result is a shifting kaleidoscope of viewing environments as the viewer ascends through the tower, with each floor offering a different combination of spatial parameters that subtly changes the way the art is situated and seen. “What happens if the same art piece is hung on a wall 3 meters high or 8.5 meters high? It completely changes the meaning and reception of the art piece,” says Pompignoli. “It explores the relationship between art and the container.”

The Torre’s inaugural exhibition is “Atlas,” which the Fondazione Prada describes as a mapping of the ideas and visions that run through its permanent collection of 20th and 21st century works produced between 1960 and 2016.

“The idea was a citadel of art, made of different buildings, spaces, programs and materials.”

the common spaces such as the staircase. “The stairs are a crucial part of the building,” he explains. “In order to gain such conditions in the galleries, the stairs become the most crazy, dynamic, unpredictable space ever. The number of steps, the shape of the landings is changing every time. It’s like two sides of the same coin. To create a calm condition on one side, you have to create a completely dynamic condition on the other.”

The result is a perfect tension between mirrored forms and reflected angles, heaviness counterbalanced by lightness, positive and negative space coexisting in pure equilibrium. Triangular forms and diagonal lines echo one another in the jagged windows, the external contours of the stairs, and the angled handrails. Softening the overall effect is the otherworldly glow of the lighting emitted by the handrails and by service walls clad with pink plasterboard on the landings. “We spent some energy trying to generate a meaningful space,” says Pompignoli. “The light is soft because it has some color in it. Without it, the exposed white concrete would have been too surgical, so we decided to work on warming solutions in terms of light.”

The decision to build the Torre in exposed white structural concrete arose from two separate but interlinked ideas: a literal interpretation of the white cube gallery as a “pure white” structure, and a contrapuntal purity in the use of materials. “Steel and concrete structures are traditional,

then they are covered in skins, layers, panels, cladding. You never see the underlying materials,” Pompignoli adds. “The Torre was a more honest and reliable way of building architecture. All the material you see from the outside is white concrete as well as inner spaces: stairs, walls and ceilings. What you see is what it is.”

Adding further to the repertoire of spaces within the Torre are the rooftop bar, with its optical-illusion floor pattern that expands into the infinite over the city, and the sixth-floor restaurant with furnishings by Philip Johnson (designed in 1958 for the Four Seasons Hotel in New York), sculptures by Lucio Fontana, and elements from Carsten Höller’s nightclub installation, The Double Club.

The array of offerings within the Fondazione Prada complex is so extensive that a visit is always first and foremost a process of exploration. “There is no predictable way to visit all of the spaces,” Pompignoli says. “This is not a common feature of museums. It challenges the visitor into taking action, in deciding what to do. You can’t just passively follow a pre-defined curatorial path.”

Indeed, the visitor acts as a curator for his or her own experience, bringing to mind the late, great art critic John Berger’s famous quote: “To look is an act of choice…We never look at just one thing: we are always looking at the relation between things and ourselves.” ■

The product of a conversation between Miuccia Prada and the foundation’s artistic director, the renowned curator and critic Germano Celant, the exhibition is staged as a series of confrontations between individual artists whose works speak and interact with one another. On the eighth floor, William N. Copley’s sexually charged nudes stare down from the walls at Damien Hirst’s glass-walled tanks containing an animatronic figure in a laboratory or a suspended umbrella and floating rubber ducks. Expansive views of the Milan skyline open out behind them. On the first floor, Carla Accardi’s vivid abstract works from the late ‘60s and ‘70s commune with Jeff Koons’ giant, rainbow-colored Tulips against a backdrop of fields and tower blocks. The exhibition also features the occasional ‘solo’ or single-artist installations, such as Carsten Höller’s immersive Upside Down Mushroom Room with its gargantuan hallucinogenic mushrooms sprouting from the ceiling. The interactions among the works and the architectural spaces generate unexpected dialogues, new meaning and fresh perspectives.

“We created a vertical conglomeration of differences,” says Pompignoli. “We wanted to be consistent with the [Fondazione Prada] museum where every building is a different story.”

An additional confrontation takes place between the gallery spaces, which Pompignoli describes as “soft, proportioned and relaxing,” and

signal I texted, ‘Let’s do it’ and then said goodbye to the civilized world.”

But Friend is used to taking leaps of faith: Before getting Homeland, he’d taken out a large loan to buy his London flat—a venture that didn’t go according to plan. “I ran out of money halfway through renovating it,” he explains. “So I had to fire all the construction workers. By that point my house was worth far less than it was when I bought it because I’d knocked holes in the walls, so I had no choice but to finish it myself.”

It was Homeland that eventually brought Friend to the U.S. “I found that there was a real genuine joy in what might be in America and that’s how I’ve always thought,” says Friend, who up until his role as Peter Quinn had been known for period dramas like his debut The Libertine opposite Johnny Depp and Pride & Prejudice, where he’d met Keira Knightley, his former girlfriend of five years. “What I don’t want to hear is ‘I wouldn’t do that—it probably won’t work.’

I was very much wanting to try to tap into that positive potential energy; you might have done this kind of role, but we’d like to see what you can do with that kind of role.”

Stateside, Friend leaned into both professional and personal opportunities, meeting his future wife, Aimee Mullins, an actress, public speaker, TED Talkgiver and Paralympic athlete, who turned out to be a valuable resource when it came to his role on Homeland. While an undergrad at Georgetown, Mullins interned at the Pentagon. “Aimee’s invaluable to me in every way, and is a great help on every one of my projects,” he says. “That particular one, it’s unfortunately classified. So we’ll have to leave it at that.”

On the precipice of his Arctic vacation, Friend had just two weeks to prepare for the role of Ernest Donovan. But as luck—or perhaps the spirit world—would have it, Friend got some help from one of his fellow passengers. “In the way that the world is sometimes very fortuitous, I got on the plane and met a wonderful man who was obsessed with all of it—CalTech, Los Angeles, rocket science, sex majick, the occult, fantasy—and he was a complete expert on the whole period. He grabbed my iPad and got me a ton of literature on it.” In addition to studying, Friend prepared by doing, as he always does, “what thou wilt.” In the Arctic, this included coming dizzyingly close to a whale, traversing massive icebergs, diving into arctic temperatures and jump-roping on deck during a storm—“I was getting fidgety,” he quips.

While he may be the living embodiment of following one’s heart, Friend says his days of extreme wanderlust are mostly behind him. “I used to find the familiarity of a living space claustrophobic, actually.

Now less so because I like to come back to a place that I can call home,” he says. Following the wrap of Strange Angel’s first season in June, Friend plans to head back to New York, where he and Mullins share a construction site-free apartment.

But, he admits, another adventure may be in the works. “I want to take Aimee on the Orient Express. I think that would be great,” he says. “I want to do the tablecloth dining car thing, but I do get very twitchy, so I’ve got to figure out what to do about that.” ■

what t hou w i lt shall be the whole of the law,’” says actor Rupert Friend, quoting the philosophy behind an obscure religion practiced by his character on his for thcoming CBS A ll Access show Strange Angel. Yet, he could just as well be summing up his own life’s motto. He may not, like his character, worship early 1900s occultist Aleister Crowley or dabble in the dark arts, but Friend says his own propensity to quote, “do what thou wilt” has prepared him for the role of the freewheeling Ernest Donovan.

Born in Oxfordshire, England, Friend grew up reading voraciously, which he says primed him for an actor’s life; his character on Strange Angel is a testament to just how many lives he’s lived. “There’s a wild and reckless quality to him that I certainly did have for quite a long time in my younger years,” he says. “I would chuckle to myself while reading the script [because] it was like a greatest hits of all the things I once did. Like, ‘Oh, yeah, crashed my motorbike, done that. Down a beer and tears up the night, done that.

Oh yeah, killed my own food, done that.’”

Based on a stranger-than-fiction chapter in scientific history, the show centers on real-life 1930s scientist Jack Parsons, who invented a form of rocket fuel later used by NASA while in his free time practicing satanic rituals and organizing mystical orgies. In the show, Friend’s Donovan turns Parsons onto British occultist Crowley’s teachings—which, he says, are as universal as they are sensational. “[Crowley’s] detractors would say it was an excuse for debauchery,” says Friend. “But I think the people who followed the religion then and now would say it’s more about being true to yourself and allowing your desire to lead you rather than repressing it. I think there’s something in it.”

Not unlike Crowley, Friend is seemingly driven by a desire to occupy as many worlds as possible. A little over a year ago, Friend wrapped his five-season run as Peter Quinn, a CIA warhead who takes a shine to Claire Danes’s ex-CIA operative Carrie Mathison on the Showtime drama Homeland. An audience favorite, Quinn’s unexpected death at the end of Season 6 caused so much outrage that a fan group called “Not OurHomeland” took out a full-page ad in The Hollywood Reporter demanding an explanation from showrunners.

After wrapping such a high-pressure role, some actors may have retreated to a white-sand beach. Instead, Friend jumped into back-to-back film roles: one in the Paul Feig-directed buddy comedy A Simple Favor and the other as Theo Van Gogh in Julian Schnabel’s Van Gogh biopic, At Eternity’s Gate, with Oscar Isaac and Willem Dafoe. Only after that, a vacation of sorts: “I decided to go on an ice-breaker to Antarctica.

I’d never been,” Friend says matter-of-factly.

Just before embarking for the Arctic, Friend got the Strange Angel offer. “Our bags were packed and we were about to get on the plane when we got a call,” he says. “I was going to have no phone signal for about two weeks, so they needed a decision. I read the whole season f lying over North and South America, and I thought it was terrific. Using my last couple bars of

The award is given to globally recognized artists whose careers have fundamentally influenced contemporary art; past winners have included Frank Stella, Theaster Gates, Cindy Sherman, Vik Muniz, and Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

Born in Beijing in 1957, Ai was the subject of a well-known arrest and imprisonment by the Chinese government. Now exiled, Ai resides and works in Berlin; his work spans a wide range of media, including architecture, installation, social media and documentary film, including his first featurelength documentary, Human Flow, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2017. “My duty as an artist is to associate myself with freedom of expression, and to spark dialogue around urgent issues facing

humanity,” says Ai. “We live in a complex and ever-changing society, and my art calls on people to question and engage with that reality, to respond to history as it happens, and to demand accountability.” andersonranch.org

ith the imminent launch of her prepared foods and condiment line, pla ns to sta r t o n h e r third cookbook, and a new restaurant announcement coming soon, Stephanie Izard is not about to take a summer break. But along with the rest of us, she’s soaking up these fleeting mild days. “[My husband] Gary and I have people over for grill-outs all the time,” says Izard, the toque behind Chicago eateries Girl & the Goat, Little Goat and Duck Duck Goat.

A James Beard Award winner and the first female Iron Chef, Izard’s recently released cookbook, Gather & Graze, has an entire chapter devoted to cooking over live flame and includes fan favorites such as banh mi burgers and Kalbi beef ribs. “It is really my favorite part of the book,” admits the chef, who is partial to late-season sweet corn on the cob.

In addition to her three restaurants, Izard is also training for a sprint triathlon and has a two-year-old son to chase after, but Chicago’s most industrious chef is relishing the city’s summer vibes.

“The restaurants are so much more lively with the patios open and all the folks out enjoying the West Loop,” she says.

q u i c k s c ro l l t h ro u g h J a m i e O’Banion’s Instagram and one may wonder how the mother of three could possibly do everything that she does, and do it all seemingly flawlessly.

For starters, she seems to exist on little to no sleep, yet she looks perfectly put-together, 100 percent of the time. She travels the globe on a weekly basis, yet somehow still manages to drop off her three children at school in the morning before she boards her flight.

It should come as no surprise that this entrepreneur is continuing to reel in success with her $100 million company Beauty Bioscience and its star product, the GloPro microneedling tool, the $199 at-home device designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production. “The most important attribute for success is your ability to get back up, learn from your mistakes, be open to constructive criticism, and persevere,” O’Banion says of her well-earned success. “I have fallen more times than I can count but the only number worth recording is the number of times you get back up.”

This summer, her empire will continue to grow with the launch of a new lip serum called The Pout, a natural athome alternative to lip injections. “One use and you will be hooked—the most perfect pouty lips in seconds,” she says.

In addition, the brand will launch a rose quartz contouring roller in July—and there’s already a lengthy waitlist for it.

“We all keep one at our desks at work and are seriously obsessed.” beautybioscience.com

Culinary king Chris Shepherd is spicing up Houston, bite by bite.

BY HOLLY CRAWFORD

H

ot on the tails of his new no-reservations restaurant UB Preserv, James Beard Award-winning Chef Chris Shepherd is set to unveil not one, but two, new concepts before year’s end— Georgia James steakhouse in July and One Fifth Mediterranean debuting in September. Yet, the very driven Shepherd is cool as a cucumber. “It’s not that hard because there’s an infrastructure in place,” he says. “For me, it’s food and having a team around you... and everybody is in their places.”

Along with all the newness comes the closing of beloved Underbelly, which Shepherd says “got too big and had too many restrictions.” It will be home to the 180-seat Georgia James, which will get a slick interior redesign with a lot of glass and steel, as well as room for table side carts, but no wood-burning oven. Steaks cook in cast-iron, and the restaurant will be open for dinner only, seven days a week.

One Fifth’s second concept, Romance Languages, closes at July’s end to make way for Mediterranean, the third variation of Shepherd’s brainchild to push himself as a cook and

learn new cuisines and techniques. “Our eating experiences are better for it, not to mention our empathy and understanding for those who are different than us,” says Shepherd, a Tulsa native who grew up going to Lebanese steakhouses. “As a kid, it was normal to eat tabouli alongside a rib-eye, and it wasn’t until later that I realized it was a result of the Lebanese population in Tulsa. Looking back, it was my first time experiencing the merging of cultures.”

And that’s exactly what his chef de cuisine, Nick Wong, formerly of Momofuku Ssäm Bar, is doing at the 80-seat UB Preserv, with a menu that mirrors the diversity of the city. “Houston doesn’t limit itself, and neither do we,” says Shepherd. He, Wong and Underbelly Hospitality culinary director, Nick Fine, designed dishes that they, as cooks and students of H-Town culture, want to eat. Think crawfish and noodles made with garlic, crawfish tails and crispy rice noodles from Vietnamese shop Van Loi—and don’t miss Dim Sum-style brunch on Sundays.

The changing culinary scene is a positive step as the city continues to recover from 2017’s Hurricane Harvey. Says Shepherd, “We got kicked in the knees a year ago, but this is a city that’s thriving...and it’s ever-evolving.”

The main dining floor highlights a 100-yearold oak tree centerpiece through floor-to-ceiling steel and glass windows. “My hope is that people will find a spot in the midst of the action or tuck away in a nook to enjoy high-quality, seasonal offerings and mainstays, along with attentive, unpretentious service.” Make sure to visit for Saturday Spin, which showcases DJs from 10 am to 3 pm. dineemmaline.com

River Oaks District’s latest amenity solidifies its status as a fashion destination. The Studio is a new private luxury lounge for one-on-one wardrobe consultations with resident stylist Lisa Powers, who has been dressing some of Houston’s elite for years. “The Studio is tucked discreetly in the furthest corner of the property, and my clients can arrive as they are, park steps away and enter into their heart’s desire,” says Powers. “We can cater from a restaurant on property and we can accommodate small parties and giving events—the sky’s the limit!”

Powers can also pull looks from any of the District’s 60-plus storefronts (think Akris, Canali, Cartier, COS, Dior, Giuseppe Zanotti, Harry Winston, Hermès, Stella McCartney and Tom Ford, among others), and her services go beyond personal shopping.

“What defines someone’s personal style is such a dynamic and subjective concept, so I’m all about getting the client to open up about what makes them happy,” she says. “I’ve always taken a holistic approach and pushed boundaries, but I observe my client’s response and ask questions so, together, we find the answer.”

As for the top trends Powers is playing with this season: “There’s an optimistic vibe and a diminishing distinction between gender, race, body type, age, and social status,” she says, “and the retro style of the hour references the 80s power suiting for women, but I hear 90s grunge playing in the not-so-distant future!” riveroaksdistrict.com

TALK IT OUT

Hospitality impresario Andy Masi wants you to stop staring at the DJ.

L

as Vegas in the early aughts was the right place and time for Andy Masi. The town was shedding its previous family-friendly persona, transforming into a culinary destination, and thanks to Masi, nightlife became an entity of its own. Now, he’s reinventing the scene again with endeavors at the Palms, including Apex Social Club and Camden Cocktail Lounge.

Masi’s first Strip endeavor was Light at Bellagio, which ushered in an era of massive, million-dollar nightclubs appointed with big room DJs, banging sound systems and the ultimate see-and-be-seen status symbol: bottle service. Then the floodgates opened: Masi and Light Group opened venues at The Mirage, Mandalay Bay and Aria, each bigger and more extravagant than the last with lines snaking out the door and crowds huddled behind velvet ropes waiting to be part of the scene.

A decade later, Masi, much like Las Vegas itself, is once again in the midst of another transformation. “We went from a place that really had no nightlife to a place with too much nightlife,” Masi says of the city. With his latest company, Clique Hospitality, he’s moved towards smaller scale nights out, including venues like the chic Clique Lounge at Cosmopolitan or the neighborhood-feeling Hearthstone Kitchen at Red Rock Resort, as well as expanded to other markets including San Diego and Washington, D.C. “I saw a higher-end market that was looking for a cool bar, a great restaurant. [They] don’t want to be crammed in with 5,000 people, looking to a DJ.” The impresario’s latest developments are part of Palm’s $620 million renovation—the 55th floor Apex created its own sort of social feng shui with tables and seating designed to encourage a convivial

atmosphere and four giant Dustin Yellin sculptures in the middle of the room. “We’re actually encouraging you to talk to the person next to or in front of you,” says Masi. First floor Camden Cocktail Lounge is inspired by the cool speakeasies from across the pond with cleverly crafted cocktails by talented mixologists, stunning visuals such as a ceiling that glitters with black and gold pebbles, and two pieces by renowned American artist Richard Prince. “You’re going from Real World to high-end art world,” he adds, a nod to the Palms being the first home to MTV’s The Real World: Las Vegas. “Nothing against the Real World,” he laughs. “There was a time for it, but it’s not now.” cliquehospitality.com

Emmy-winning actress Maria Menounos is mentoring a new generation of correspondents with her online network AfterBuzzTV.

A

fterBuzzTV cofounder Maria Menounos knew there was a hunger for TV series after-shows—just how big that appetite was, she never could have predicted. With billions of international eyes and ears devouring AfterBuzz’s 150-plus hours of weekly original content, Menounos and her producer husband, Keven Undergaro, have a hypercharged hit on their hands.

“We’ve got this great platform that allows young talent to flourish with a lot of supportive people involved… This was not necessarily the case when I was coming up,” says Menounos of AfterBuzz, which provides a post-show recap of some of primetime’s most popular series, like Billions and Dancing with the Stars. “It’s hard to get a break in this town. In this business, you can’t get a reel without a job… but how are you going to get a job without a reel? It’s exciting to give our young hosts this great opportunity.”

Menounos launched the digital broadcasting network in 2014 with Undergaro, who she married live on television during FOX’s New Year’s Eve

2018 broadcast. (Steve Harvey performed the ceremony.) On AfterBuzz, nearly 300 young hosts expertly dissect favorite shows and often interview cast members in the moments after an episode has aired. “We keep growing, and it’s such a community,” insists Menounos. “There are stars zooming in and out doing interviews and so much creativity in the air. It’s a safe haven for people with these dreams, right here in Hollywood.”

Launching the network and developing up-and-coming talent came on the heels of Menounos’ recovery from a brain tumor, an emotional ordeal she bravely shared with the world. Now, she insists upon taking life and career at a much more civilized pace than in her E! News heyday.

That it’s also an opportunity to work side-by-side with her husband makes it all the sweeter. “It’s amazing, and Keven gets so much of the credit,” says Menounos. “So many people have great ideas but don’t know how to execute them, and he really does. Somehow, together, we manage to create 150 hours of programming every week, with retention rates of 67 percent. We are now on every red carpet, and we have all of these cool partnerships happening. The best part is, fans really get what they want.” afterbuzztv.com

A The Inn Crowd Anne and Charles Hajjar are adding to their real estate portfolio with a new Martha’s Vineyard hotel, The Richard.

BY KEIJA MINOR

sk anyone in commercial real estate and they’ll know the name Charles (Chuck) Hajjar, the Boston-based developer with more than 100 projects, from shopping centers to apartment buildings, mostly in New England. What they may not know is that the driving force behind three of Martha’s Vineyard’s newest and most posh boutique hotels is his wife, Anne Hajjar.

In 2012, when friends were selling 22 North Water Street in Edgartown, Anne saw an opportunity to create a jewel box of a hotel, a place her “St. Barth’s and New York friends would want to stay,” she says. She enlisted interior designer Robin Pelissier of Hingham, Ma. and later Rachel Reider of Boston (the star creative behind Summercamp hotel in Oak Bluffs) to bring her vision of clean, sophisticated, fabulous rooms to life. Hiring Lark Hotels (the co-owner of Summercamp) to manage daily operations rounded out her A-team.

The Sydney opened in 2014; the following year, Anne opened The Christopher, a 15-room inn enhanced with a healthy dose of turquoise and purple thanks to Annsley Interiors, and regular BYOB cocktail parties

for guests. This summer marks the opening of The Richard, her third property in Edgartown’s historic village. In addition, The Sydney is expanding from eight to 22 rooms, and debuting a larger bar for its acclaimed anchor restaurant, L’Etoile.

Today, the Hajjars also own a 14,000-square-foot home in Oak Bluffs adjacent to Farm Neck Golf Club, another in St. Barth’s and a primary residence in Milton, Ma. Their love for the Vineyard is apparent not only in their hotels but in the organizations they support. The Hajjars, who have four children for which their hotels are named, are founding members of MV Youth, an organization that provides college scholarships to local students, and are loyal supporters of Camp Jabberwocky, the MV Preservation Society, MV Hospital and the local YMCA. The Massachusetts natives agree that the Vineyard is a magical place and as Chuck summarized, “it’s the fun people, from all walks of life, from all backgrounds, coming together—that’s what really makes the island.” For reservations, visit thesydney hotel.com, thechristophermv.com, and therichardhotel.com.

The Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, a 1940s gem by architect Roy France, is reopening following a multi-million dollar renovation.

CLUB KING

With the renovation of the new Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, Hersha Hospitality Trust president and COO Neil Shah helps reimagine a Collins Avenue gem.

BY REBECCA KLEINMAN

A

s a Miami resident, I ’m most exc i te d a b o u t creating a place that I personally want to go to and can recomm e n d to my friends and associates,” says Neil Shah, president and chief operating officer of Hersha Hospitality Trust, a multi-billiondollar hotel and real estate firm. “We’re offering unique, non-touristy ways to see Miami by land, air and sea.”

Among the company’s 49 hotels across the country, six are located in South Florida, including the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club in Miami Beach, which reopens following a multi-million-dollar renovation. Now part of Marriott International’s Autograph Collection, the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club includes 357 guest rooms featuring a Mediterranean blue-and-white color scheme, bold prints from Greek key to palms, and offering beach and city views.

To transform original architect Roy

France’s 1940s Art Deco gem, interior design firm Bill Rooney Studio channeled the European Riviera, and the Cadillac is reopening with a beachside restaurant, Bungalow by the Sea that offers a raw bar and roséall-day concept. The Amalfi Coast is also represented through chef Manuel Mattei’s Donna Mare trattoria.

“We saw a transformation in demographics, such as families, who were looking for cultural activities and beachfront resorts as opposed to South Beach’s party crowd and boutique hotels,” says Shah of the hotel, that captured his attention with the historic structure’s strong bones and heritage, and its hot neighborhood, Mid-Beach, which is a straight shot to the airport and near all the best art and shopping in Wynwood, Bal Harbour and the Miami Design District. “As part of our European sensibility, we want our guests to truly feel a connection to our community.” cadillachotelmiamibeach.com

Real estate developer Douglas Karp is helping transform Nantucket into a posh summer playground.

BY SAMUEL ANDERSON

W

h ile staking out land around Cape Cod has long been a pastime for moneyed N ew Eng landers, Stephen and Douglass Karp have made it their business. New England Development’s fatherson duo have owned property on Nantucket for 30 years, but it wasn’t until Stephen hired Douglass to spearhead a new venture, Nantucket Island Resorts, that the two began to elevate the island into a bona fide hospitality hotspot.

Stephen Karp founded New England Development in 1978 and built the business through a constellation of indoor malls across the northeast. Douglass inherited his father’s entrepreneurial spirit, starting the mall mecca Lids with a buddy while still in high school.

Years later, Stephen sold his properties and Douglass left Lids for the family business. “It was a shift we decided to make from being just a retail developer to more hospitality,” says Douglass. “That was when we made a big purchase on Nantucket and bought a bunch of hotels.”

The White Elephant, a collection of 8 to 12 sleepy cottages, became Douglass’s pet project. “That winter I essentially lived in Nantucket during the week and helped oversee the construction of what White Elephant is today,” says Douglass, who owns a home on the island and got married at the White Elephant last year.

“We took it from almost a motel format to a real first-class hotel.”

Today, the White Elephant is a quintessential beachside waterfront destination and the flagship of Nantucket Island Resort’s portfolio, which also includes The Wauwinet, Jared Coffin House, and The Cottages at Nantucket Boat

Basin. As the Karps expanded, so did Nantucket. The island is growing so fast that Elon Musk is furnishing it with a Tesla-made 48MWh Powerpack battery to help with electrical demands.

But, says Douglass, the upswing hasn’t overpowered the town’s quaint charms. “A board oversees all the aesthetics of the island so it generally looks very similar to how it did 100 years ago,” he says. “There’s still that historic charm but you can go to restaurants that rival any major city in the country.”

Maggio and Ignazio Cipriani brings Mr. C Hotels to the East Coast with a new location in the South Street Seaport. BY JILL SIERACKI

T

he Ciprianis have been in the hospitality industry for four generations, starting with patriarch Guiseppe Cipriani who opened the famed Harry’s Bar in Venice in 1931. Today, the family business encompasses multiple restaurants, catering, event spaces, even residences. Also part of the portfolio is Mr. C Hotels, launched in 2011 by brothers Ignazio and Maggio Cipriani with a location in Beverly Hills. Now, the brothers are opening their first East Coast outpost in the Seaport District, which is being rapidly revitalized by real estate developers The Howard Hughes Corporation.

“We had been looking for some time for the right location in New York and when Howard Hughes offered this particular address as part of their exciting and visionary development we thought it was perfect—charming and a bit out of the classic areas with incredible views and a very European flavor,” says Ignazio of Mr. C Seaport, opening this month at 33 Peck Slip, a five-story brick structure built in 1856.

Developed by Bob and Alex Ghassemieh, the same team behind Mr. C Beverly Hills, Mr. C Seaport will include 66 guest-

rooms, including six premium suites with panoramic terraces, a Lobby Lounge serving “aperitivo” (afternoon tea), event space, fitness center, and fittingly, an Italian restaurant concept from Maggio and Ignazio Cipriani. “Coming from a family with a long history in the hospitality business, it was a natural progression for myself and my brother to want to extend the experience to a full-service hotel, and offer more than a lunch or a dinner to create a home where travelers can feel comfortable and look forward to returning,” says Ignazio. “We also wanted to create our own concept, naturally inspired by our family DNA, but with our independent vision.”

The New York location is smaller than its West Coast counterpart, but with a similar relaxed elegance (think bellinis in the bar while staff handles your check in). “I like to travel and I like to find hotels where I feel comfortable and want to go back again. This led to me and my brother to coming up with a place where we would feel at home,” says Ignazio. “It is really exciting to open just as this area will really blossom. It will add another interesting piece to the many surprises that travelers and New Yorkers alike will discover while walking through the cobblestone streets.” mrchotels.com

Local interior designer Grant K. Gibson expands beyond San Francisco with a travel series that combines décor and exotic destinations.

or more than 14 years, San Francisco–based interior designer Grant K. Gibson has been busy creating fresh and timeless spaces, ranging from private residences in the Bay Area and New York to tasting rooms for wineries in Healdsburg and St. Helena. His latest project is a salon for hairstylist Todd Reyes in San Francisco’s Union Square. “Think classic blue-and-white pottery and chinoiserie,” says Gibson, whose inaugural design tome, The Curated Home: A Fresh Take on Tradition, will debut this fall. “It’s a boutique salon with a feeling that you have walked into someone’s apartment, maybe in Paris.”

Raised in Los Angeles, Gibson frequently traveled to farflung countries and visited art galleries, flea markets and antique auctions with his parents, yet his initial career trajectory wasn’t interiors. “I started off thinking that I wanted to be a psychologist and went down that path for a few years,” says Gibson, now one of the country’s most acclaimed designers. “I had just moved to New York and wasn’t really sure what I was doing with my life. A friend suggested that I talk with an interior designer friend that was looking for an assistant. I was hired on the spot with no experience and learned the ins and outs of the business.

Growing up, I never thought it was something that one could make into a career.”

In 2004, Gibson officially ventured out on his own with his sophisticated black-and-white Gentleman’s Retreat at the San Francisco Decorator Showcase. “I have clients that are maximalists and want layers and patterns, and others that want simple, more edited homes,” says Gibson. “I love putting on the different hats for each project and collaborating to create a tailored interior that is correct for its inhabitants.”

His latest project, a boutique design travel series entitled Travels With Grant, combines two of his passions. “A lightbulb went off while I was sitting in a hotel in India,” says Gibson, whose first guided five-person trip, Journey to Jaipur, slated for this December, sold out within 24 hours. “I didn’t want to open a shop or launch a fabric line, and wanted to do something different, but I didn’t expect this to be so successful,” he says. “I don’t think of it as a group tour, but rather a private, individual experience with like-minded, design-oriented travelers—I won’t be wearing a headset on a tour bus.” grantkgibson.com

Garbo’s Gold An enigmatic starlet’s most iconic look will be the forthcoming Academy Museum’s crown jewel.

The Academy Museum will maintain the integrity of these objects, preserving them for posterity, and providing an exciting, multimedia context in which to understand their historical, scientific, and artistic achievements.” academymuseum.org ■

reta Garbo was the star of the 1931 film Mata Hari, but her headdress, pictured here, played a significant suppor t ing role. The seduc t ive headpiece, designed by Wizard of Oz costumer Adrian Adolph Greenberg, was the defining feature of the film’s titular lead, a Dutch spy who disguised herself as an exotic dancer to gather secrets from the Russian opposition during World War I. In the film, Garbo is rarely seen without it; in fact, the original opening striptease (later heavily censored due to the passage of the Hays Code) ends on a wide-angle shot of Garbo wearing nothing but the ornate crown.

Garbo was a notoriously sphinxlike MGM starlet. She started out in silent films that long hid her Swedish accent, but managed to reinvent herself for the talkies thanks to hits like Mata Hari, her highest grossing film, that played on her exotic origins. But even at the height of her fame, Garbo juggled dueling personas; while publically linked to actor John Gilbert, Garbo never married and was rumored to have had affairs with women including Marlene Dietrich. It was also rumored that Garbo worked as a spy herself, allegedly collecting intel on Swedish Nazi sympathizers for Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service.

Today, the headdress is housed in the collection of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, organizers of the Oscars and the custodians of 120 years of film history. In 2019, that collection will finally have a permanent home in L.A.’s forthcoming Academy Museum. “The headdress is a rare example of an Adrian-designed costume from the early 1930s and the signature element of Mata Hari, one of the most successful films of Garbo’s career,” says associate curator Ryan Linkof. “It is an icon of the film and of her star persona.”

Split between a landmarked, Art Deco building that once housed the Miracle Mile’s premier department store and a new spherical addition designed by Renzo Piano, the 300,000-square-foot, $250-million museum will showcase iconic pieces, like the tablets from The Ten Commandments and the Mata Hari headdress, which would come to embody Garbo’s career after she abruptly walked away from Hollywood at 35, later depicted by Andy Warhol for his 1981 “Myths” series. “These cinematic artifacts will be integrated into installations showing the many unique art forms that constitute the filmmaking process,” says Linkof.

“Combined with the immense holdings of the Academy’s Margaret Herrick Library and the Academy Film Archive, the museum’s exhibitions will tell a multilayered history of the achievements of filmmakers from the origins of the medium through the present day.”

In addition, the museum will also include a 1,000-seat theater capable of screening everything from 3D to the ear-
