ED LETTER FALL 2018

F

all in New York City is without a doubt my favorite time of year.

The summer humidity has vanished, the air has taken on a delightful crispness and, most importantly, I finally get to dig out the belted coats, knee-high boots and tailored denim from my closet that haven’t seen the light of day since pre-Memorial Day. This is one of the reasons that the fall issue of DuJour also happens to be my favorite. Inside these pages, you’ll find everything you need to create a chic autumn wardrobe, from embellished coats to high jewelry that’s so illuminating, we’ve deemed it priceless (spoiler alert, it’s far from free). We’re also brushing you up on the latest in food, film, culture and travel with an abundance of feature stories to keep you up to date on all that’s happening this season.

And speaking of happening, this September marks the return of one of my favorite shows of all time, This Is Us, starring our DuJour fall cover girl, Mandy Moore. Moore proves that she’s more than the girl next door inside our pages, draped in avant-garde pieces styled by Cristina Ehrlich. On a July afternoon in Los Angeles, high atop the Hollywood Hills inside a bungalow at the Chateau Marmont, photographer Kurt Iswarienko captured the essence of the new Mandy—a grown up, polished, fashion-loving It girl who has reinvented herself in her role as Rebecca Pearson. Spending the day with her in L.A. further confirmed my theory in life that, simply stated, good things happen to good people.

I hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as I enjoyed creating it from scratch with my incredibly talented team.

ere at DuJour, we have many things to be excited about as the fall season comes into full swing. Inside the pages of this issue are plenty of excuses to do a little shopping (coats, boots and bags galore). And our high jewelry story, featuring luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, Cartier and many more, will have you looking for an excuse to buy a little ice.

Fall is also an exciting time for launches. Zegna is changing the game for stylish men on the go with the launch of new fabrics for its innovative Z. Zegna machine-washable men’s suit collection. Louis Vuitton redefines the smart watch with its Tambour Horizon model, carrying the brand’s indulgent approach to personalization in the tech arena and now offering a new game to play on it. Another noteworthy mention is Longines, helmed by CEO Walter Von Känel, who unveiled a new edition of its exceptionally designed dive watch, the USA Exclusive HydroConquest Edition. And Hublot, under the leadership of CEO Ricardo Guadalupe, continues its partnership with Depeche Mode, launching a limited-edition timepiece for an important charitable cause. Be sure to check out our story on Aquatalia’s Jimmy Gabriel and how he continues to lead a brand that’s revolutionizing the market when it comes to weatherproof footwear technology.

In New York City, everyone is gearing up for the launch of the expansive new Restoration Hardware store in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, which will feature 90,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, complete with a transparent elevator and a rooftop restaurant set within a landscaped park (a huge congrats to CEO Gary Friedman).

I’m super excited to share our story on my friend Lenny Kravitz, who’s creating a buzz with his latest collaboration with Dom Pérignon—in addition to dropping his latest album, Raise Vibration, this month. Cheers to him for his remarkable and diverse accomplishments.

Lastly, it’s also key to mention our fall fashion cover girl, Mandy Moore, who’s made a splash in Hollywood as of late with her starring role on the hit NBC television drama series This Is Us. In these pages, we tell the story of how she’s grown from a teenage pop star into a sophisticated actress.

It goes without saying that our incredible partners help to make this award-winning media company what it has become today, and we can’t wait to celebrate the months to come with each and every one of them.

f your fa ll getaway plans have you hea ded t o New England, a stop at Rough Point , the New por t , R .I. home of Doris Duke, is a must—especially if you love emeralds and diamonds. There, a special exhibition titled “Designing for Doris: David Webb Jewelry and Newport’s Architectural Gems” highlights contemporary recreations of several David Webb pieces belonging to the late American tobacco heiress. Webb enjoyed a unique designer/client collaboration with Duke during the 1950s and ’60s, one that merged his inimitable sense of line and for m w ith Duke’s glamorous style (think: pi n k Je a n Pat ou pa nt su it s, striped harem pants and feathered capes), and the exceptional gemstones she’d inherited.

Names like Doris Duke, Elizabeth Taylor, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis are essential to appreciating the brand’s prestigious heritage. But, now, the iconic jewelr y—bold sautoirs hung with enormous gemstone and enamel pendants, dramatic cuffs and door-knocker earrings—is also attracting new crop of stylishly dressed celebrities.

For example, not long after “Designing for Doris” opened in April, Rihanna was spotted at Coachella wearing a gold and diamond bangle. Poppy Delevingne wore a David Webb peridot suite to the Met Gala in May. Actress Sarah Paulson was photographed wearing turquoise enamel earrings and an opal ring for the June cover of InStyle.

“David Webb has always been inspired by beautiful, captivating women, and we are very proud to carry on this tradition,”

Left: pearl earring designed by David Webb for Doris Duke, from “Designing for Doris,” an exhibit at Rough Point in Newport, R.I. Right: Doris Duke wearing David Webb earrings, 1978

says co-owner Mark Emanuel, a former estate jewelry dealer who acquired the company with business partner Robert Sadian in 2010. “The power of celebrity is as important today as ever.”

In the 27 years between founding the company in 1948 and his death in 1975, Webb created more than 40,000 design concepts, many of which were never produced. “There’s a distinct David Webb vocabulary that informs our contemporary designs,” says Emanuel, who drives which jewels get resurrected from the archives or tweaked for a modern audience. “Whether we’re rereleasing a collection or creating a new couture piece, those elements are always foundational.”

What do Doris Duke and Rihanna have in common?

Their love of David Webb, the nation’s premier luxury jeweler, whose legacy is attracting a new generation of glamorous women. by amy elliott

“David Webb is definitely experiencing a renaissance,” observes Robin Katz, a New York City antique jewelry dealer, collector and consultant. “Their creative direction, marketing and social media all add up to a forceful presence in the jewelry world right now. The brand exudes a youthfulness that was absent for a long time.”

At the 2018 Couture jewelry show in Las Vegas, the house set up camp in a poolside villa at the Wynn hotel, the perfect backdrop for showcasing a new series of bracelets. Based on an original sketch from the 1970s, the updated versions dangle beads of coral, lapis, turquoise, cultured pearls, brilliant-cut diamonds, and tumbled emeralds in an array of chic combinations.

“There’s a lot of 1970s inf luences because the 1970s—both in terms of style and jewelry scale—are very ‘now’ and they’re very much part of today’s vernacular,” says Emanuel.

At the same time, the jewelry remains undeniably timeless.

“It’s unapologetic, speaking to courage and confidence,” he says, “and most of the time, a good David Webb piece can be literally recognized from across the room.”

DUJOUR.COM

Not to mention the red carpet. “I just love the gold 1970s flair of Webb,” says L.A.-based celebrity stylist Petra Flannery, who counts Emma Stone and Zoe Saldana as clients. One of her favorite red carpet moments of late was the look she created for Amy Adams at the 2017 BAFTA awards: an emerald green Tom Ford gown worn with a pair of the jeweler’s most exquisite emeraldand-jade earrings.

Flannery tends to pull a combination of both current and vintage David Webb pieces. “The newer pieces are quite reminiscent of the vintage, and the younger generation is a sponge for the past,” she says. “It is, of course, the vintage that makes David Webb so iconic—for example, their animal motifs.”

The Zebra bangle, a masterwork in 18-karat gold and handpainted enamel, stands out as one of the house’s most highly recognizable and coveted styles. The original design debuted in 1963 (Diana Vreeland owned one) and since then has lent its black-andwhite stripes to everything from brooches to pendant earrings.

The Zebra presides over the company’s crystal chandelier-lit workshop, projected onto the window shades like a glowing hologram or a friendly apparition. There, several f loors above the Madison Avenue boutique and offices, each piece is handmade by master stone setters and bench jewelers; some have been with the firm for more than 50 years, or are descendants of those who worked for Webb himself.

“The animal bangles are great statement pieces—iconic, recognizable and wearable,” says Katz. “As such, they’re bound to retain their value over time.”

Clearly the nearly $70,000 price tag of the Zebra bracelet lands it squarely in connoisseur territory, but if you’re a first-time David Webb buyer? Start with Tool Chest—the Bent Nail earrings and Nail Ring refer back to a collection from 1971 and feature the house’s signature hammered gold. Both retail for less than $3,000.

And take Katz’s advice: “If one is truly a collector and passionate about the jewelry they choose, buying into an iconic brand goes a long way towards feeling that their money is spent wisely.” davidwebb.com

FALL 2018

Louis Vuitton has ventured into pearlized surfaces, gilding, and even hand-painting their bags, but this season’s experimentation pays homage to tried-and-true methods. Inspired by various Japanese finishing methods, reptilian hides are given a colorful makeover. The brand’s take on the indigodyeing method of shibori emulates the effect of light play on water; while its raku treatment mimics the cracked glaze of Japanese pottery, bringing even more dimension to the exotic skins; and its bags sporting a shou-sugi-ban finish evoke the charred edges of Japanese timber preserved with fire. louisvuitton.com —James Manso

APPLES OF THE EYE

It-bag heavyweights Loewe are branching into eyewear for fall.

Finding an it-bag? Easy stuff. Nabbing the perfect pair of sunglasses? Much harder, until now. Masterbrand of all buzz-worthy accessories Loewe, in collaboration with eyewear brand Thélios, are bringing their allure to the sunglass sector, with shades just as unconventional and irresistible as their coveted carryalls. Coming in a variety of materials (from acetate to leather) and shapes (aviators to watered-down ski masks), the pairs are set to become just as lusted-after as their Puzzle Crossbody or Elephant Bag. Much like Loewe’s trendy pocketbooks, the specs feature minimal branding, despite their recognizable modernity and exceptional craftsmanship. While the Jinkx merges a rectangular lens shape with a stitched leather frame, the Tyra brings a wider temple with openwork lenses. The most classic of the bunch dons the same name as their fan-favorite bag, the Puzzle Medium, which gives the classic aviator a twist with an extra triangular lens. If beauty’s in the eye of the beholder, definitely feast your eyes on these. loewe.com —James Manso

Glamour on the Go

Z Zegna’s new machine-washable suit marries convenience and taste.

“Wool” and “washability” seldom go together, so when the tailors at Italian fashion house Z Zegna came up with a machine-washable suit, we were all ears. The brand’s Techmerino Wash & Go suit is made of treated merino wool, meaning it’s just as soft as it is easy to launder at home. Engineered to maintain softness, garment shape and body temperature, the suit is crafted with wool that’s harvested sustainably and biodegradable-certified. Grab it in a new range of winter-appropriate fabrics, including grey mélange and pied de poule flannel, and throw it on after a quick wash or iron it for a more refined air. zegna.com —James Manso

The feeling of walking around town wishing you had on different shoes is all too familiar, which is why we’re thrilled to learn that supermodel and mogul Cindy Crawford has lent her globe-trotting expertise to luxury shoe designer Sarah Flint. The duo have collaborated on an exclusive capsule collection, Sarah Flint x Cindy Crawford: The Jet Set, inspired by Crawford’s and Flint’s travels around the globe. In this collection, comfort is key. The three shoes (the only ones you’ll ever need to pack, according to Flint and Crawford) are priced from $375 to $695 and comprise a sandal, a skimmer and a boot.

“Sarah is an expert at designing comfortable shoes that look great,” says Crawford. ”We wanted to come up with a stylish and functional solution for women that travel constantly and want to look good and pack light.

That’s why we came up with the three essential styles that can take a woman from day to night, work to dinner, city to country. The three shoes in this collection are meant to take you anywhere, whether you’re on a vacation or a business trip. sarahflint.com —Kim Peiffer

The brand’s new Manhattan boutique/ concept store is set to open in Soho this September, just a stone’s throw away from other downtown outposts of European luxury houses. In the midst of an e-commerce boom, the opening of a brick-and-mortar space is a bold choice.

Cory Baker, Chief Operating Officer of Marquee Brands (which owns Bruno Magli), says the space will offer current shoes, accessories and tailoring while paying homage to the brand’s past.

ever use the phrase ‘It’s good enough,’” commands Jimmy Gabriel, president of wholesale footwear North America at Globa l Brands Group. This eternal striving for improvement defines Gabriel’s approach to his company’s products, as well as the course of his career. Starting in footwear at the age of 14, sizing shoe walls and stocking shelves in a shoe store, Gabriel is now responsible for overseeing the entire footwear division of GBG, Aquatalia being among the most exciting of their holdings.

The brand’s signature characteristic is its weatherproofed and stain-resistant Italian leather. Now, its shoes are not only functional and high-quality, but produced in increasingly chic silhouettes. “Our success has been the combination of fashion with the weatherproofing technique,” Gabriel says. “At one time, Aquatalia was only known as a weatherproof brand that had some fashion appeal to it, as a bonus. I believe over the years, we have f lipped

that perspective to make Aquatalia a fashion brand first, with a weatherproof and stain-resistant technique.”

Gabriel has overseen the creation of product that screams “chic” through the rain and whose appeal will last long after the weather has cleared.

Some of this season’s standout designs, he says, include animal prints and colored snakeskin, beautiful jewel tones and rich neutrals, a new sculpted heel as well as a kitten heel, and bold stitching and quilted details. He expects it to be the brand’s biggest season ever. “If you’re not already a fan,” he says, “you should be.”

By marrying rich, supple Italian leathers with techniques that allow them to withstand a bit of wear and tear, Aquatalia is set to be the footwear brand to watch. “Aquatalia is wearable luxury,” Gabriel says. “We make beautiful products featuring extraordinary craftsmanship, using the finest Italian leathers that you can wear. Call it luxury or not. If it makes you feel good, that is wearable luxury to me.”

It isn’t every day that a legendary watch brand unveils a new collection. Vacheron Constantin pulled out all the stops with the release of its i ysi line of ne timepieces. by roberta naas

The Fiftysix Complete calendar watch houses a meticulously finished self-winding movement with an open-worked oscillating weight visible via a transparent sapphire caseback. $36,800.

and squared off edges of the round case on top and bottom, the entire look of the Fiftysix is a study of geometric elegance.

The new collection also features a box-type sapphire crystal that rises above the bezel and allows for better viewing of the dial when the watch is on an angle. It is a good thing, too, because the dials are extraordinary. Referred to as a sector dial, the dials feature a chapter ring with Arabic numerals, baton-like hour markers. Crafted in stainless steel and in 18-karat rose gold, all of the watches in the Fiftysix introduction are powered by self-winding movements.

For the first introduction of the collection, Vacheron Constantin unveils three new 40mm versions—with another haute horology piece being unveiled this fall. The first three pieces, arriving in stores in September, include a simple date model, a day/date model and a superb Complete Calendar with moon phase indication.

The latter is the one that watch connoisseurs around the world are lusting after. The monochrome dial features an opaline sunburst motif that includes an ivory center dial with day and month displayed at 12:00 via apertures. Beneath them at 6:00 is a large moon-phase display. The chapter ring for the hours and minutes display (via white gold or rose gold hours and markers) is surrounded on the outer edge of the dial with the date track. The moonphase is so precise that it requires only one adjustment every 122 years (compared with once every three years on a regular moon phase indication). This boldly beautiful watch retails for $36,800 in 18-karat 5N rose gold. vacheron-constantin.com

very year at the Swiss watch exhibitions, top watch brands wow the world with their newest watches— many of which have been years in the making. While unveiled in the beginning of the year, most of these timepieces don’t make their way to retail stores until fall. This year, Vacheron Constantin created an all-new watch line inspired by the past but firmly positioned for today and tomorrow: Fiftysix.

As the name suggests, the newest collection takes its inspiration from a highly coveted watch that was first unveiled by the brand in 1956. The Reference 6073 had a very distinguished look in its day, with round case and bezel but elongated lugs (case-tobracelet attachments) that represented the branches of the Maltese cross—Vacheron Constantin’s emblem. The lugs made the case look much bolder than a simple round watch and created a striking contrast to the classicism of the dial. Additionally, that timepiece was one of the first by the brand to be equipped with a self-winding movement and to feature a water-resistant case— novel at the time.

Now, Vacheron Constantin raises that iconic model to new heights. Elegant and chic, the new series has a worldly style that deftly blends vintage and modernity. Many of the elements that made the original a bit of a legend for the brand are updated in the new collection. The lugs on the new watches are elongated, highly stylized and ergonomically curved. Together with the round bezel

an an old dog learn new tricks? Old-world luxury heavyweight Louis Vuitton answered the question for fashion lovers when they released the brand’s first-ever smartwatch, the Tambour Horizon. Available with customizable dials and a range of interchangable straps, the watch carries the brand’s indulgent approach to personalization into the tech arena. While the watch has allowed flight and boarding alerts since its release, the new “City Game,” inspired by the brand’s City Guides, unlocks a series of watch dials in a handful of the world’s greatest cities.

The game, which allows wearers to navigate virtual versions of Paris, London, Shanghai, Hong Kong and San Francisco, brings these cities to the players’ wrists and fingertips. Players, represented by the street-style favorite Louis Vuitton Archlight sneaker on a moving track, aim to dodge obstacles while maximizing miles traveled to reach the next level; each city unlocks a new dial.

A clear reference to the brand’s love for the “Art of Travel,” as they put it, the watch itself is the latest in luxury tech. It packs a bit more than your average smartwatch: On top of standard timekeeping and fitness tracking, you can even digitally monogram your LV-patterned dial. Even a year after its release, the watch’s exclusive updates keep rolling out. It turns out that new dogs can learn new tricks, too. louisvuitton.com

Saving Face

A variety of new technologically advanced skincare products, devices and treatments are reinventing the way we glow.

From zero-downtime to more aggressive options, there’s something out there to correct e ery ne line sun spot and scar. by kim peiffer

Celebrity aesthetician Dr. Dennis Gross has created a full-face device that utilizes a combination of 100 red lights and 62 blue lights to smooth wrinkles, diminish discoloration and clear acne for a beautiful, youthful complexion.

Strap it on, press the power button, select your preferred light setting (blue destroys acne, red stimulates collagen production) and three minutes later, you’ll feel the glow.

Optimal results are seen in about 10 weeks. SpectraLite FaceWare Pro $435, sephora.com

IN N’ OUT

Skin Laundry’s signature 15-minute laser and light treatment catapulted the facial-focused spa into all-star status for its zero downtime (and super speedy) results. Now, they’re adding a new service to their menu. The Ultra Fractional treatment is a non-ablative fractional resurfacing laser treatment for more aggressive results, still sans downtime. In 30 minutes, a laser goes to work rapidly targeting pigmentation, reversing sun damage and stimulating collagen. Optimal treatment is usually one to two sessions per month, and the best part is, it can be alternated with the brand’s signature Laser & Light treatment. Post-summer, it feels like the perfect solution. $250 for a 30-minute treatment, skinlaundry.com

SKIN DEEP

Summers at the beach are great for the soul, not so great for the skin. Enter La Mer’s new Treatment Lotion Hydrating Mask for instant healing hydration. Powered by the master science of the brand’s popular The Treatment Lotion, the new sheet masks are loaded with La Mer’s nutrient-rich Miracle Broth and The Revitalizing Ferment to help promote younger-looking skin. Minutes after slapping a mask on our skin, we looked plumper and less parched, and felt soothed from all that summer sun. $150 for six, lamer.com

CUSTOM CREATIONS BABY BEAUTY

If skin softer than a baby’s bottom is your goal, we’ve got the answer: the Erbium YAG laser treatment, performed by dermatologist Dr. Julie Russak and her team, is a high-energy pulsed light treatment that penetrates deep within the skin’s layers to correct fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and scarring. Downtime is about a week, but the results are well worth the freak show—promise. $1,200 per treatment, russakplus.com

There’s a reason why beauty junkies obsess to their very core over the SkinCeuticals line of serums. The brand has established a cult following thanks to formulas that reduce everything from fine lines to discoloration. That’s why we’re so excited about the brand’s new Custom D.O.S.E (Diagnostic Optimization Serum Experience) serum. The process begins in a dermatologist’s office, where a diagnostic tool determines the exact needs of the patient based on his or her skin type. Up to 24 individual ingredients are combined at percentages based on the skin’s needs to deliver a serum that’ll fix everything that ails you. $195, skinceuticals.com

“WEIGHT TRAINING IS THE ENTRÉE AND CARDIO IS THE SIDE DISH,” SAYS SALADINO. “YOU BURN MORE FAT AND CALORIES THROUGH RESISTANCE TRAINING.“ and calories through resistance training. Your body also becomes a fat-burning furnace with more muscle.” But common misconceptions on “bulking up,” especially for women, have kept many of us away from traditional weight training. Yet Saladino says this couldn’t be further from the truth. “It’s hard for most people to put on muscle, yet they’re worried about getting too big from training with weights.” Below, Saladino shares his secrets to becoming your fittest self.

How many times a week do you need to weight train to see results?

You can see results with three days a week at 20 to 30 minutes.

Diet is also important; I recommend an 80/20 rule to start.

But he’s not just throwing them on the treadmill and calling it a day. For both men and women, his theory revolves around resistance training for optimal weight loss. “A lot of times people affiliate a good sweat with fat loss, and this is not always the case,” says Saladino. “Unfortunately, this is why many people are just spinning their wheels by only doing cardio.” The secret for losing lbs, he says, is to increase your weight training sessions. “Weight training is the entrée, and cardio is the side dish.

The Cardio Vs. Weight Debate

What’s the easiest way to get motivated ?

Switching your program up always helps, but don’t do this too much. [My programs] could be anywhere from three weeks to four months. Staying intrigued is important, but so is training smart. Just because some inf luencer is posting a workout doesn’t mean it makes sense. If you’re going to follow exercise recommendations, just make sure you are following a person who has an education in the field and years of experience.

What’s your workout plan with Blake versus Ryan?

Blake trains with weights. I focus on getting her stronger while paying attention to recovery and movement. The more resilient her body becomes, the better shape she gets into. She is not afraid to put on muscle. With Ryan, we focus on strength, hypertrophy and movement quality; exactly like I do with Blake.

hen it comes to getting a little nip and tuck, the options used to be quite limited: Go under full anesthesia, spend weeks of downtime hiding out until bruises heal and spend tens of thousands of dollars for these procedures. Not anymore. Here are five that are as easy as they are effective.

AIRSCULPT

EXILIS

What it is: Exilis utilizes ultrasound and radio frequency energies to tighten skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. “It is a wonderful, painless, noninvasive way to give improvement in skin quality, firmness and texture,” says dermatol-

FALL 2018

ogist and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Dendy Engelman of Medical Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center. “I love it for so many reasons. Historically, we had ultrasound and radio frequency devices that used one modality or the other; however, Exilis uses both ultrasound and radio frequency in order to provide the next level of skin tightening.”

You can use it to treat the face, neck, arms, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, elbows and knees, she says.

Who’s the best candidate: Anyone who desires smoother, firmer skin.

What to expect: It’s not painful, according to Dr. Engelman, who compares the feeling to a warm massage. Results are seen early, she says, with continued improvement over time.

Price: $500 to $600 per treatment at Dr. Engelman’s practice, with four treatments recommended (one every seven to ten days).

What it is: The FDA-cleared device removes unwanted fat while simultaneously tightening the skin, without the intensive downtime of traditional liposuction. “BodyTite is a revolutionary technology that enables temperature-controlled lipolysis (fat melting) and skin tightening that can be performed as an isolated procedure or in conjunction with liposuction,” says plastic surgeon Dr. Adam R. Kolker.

Who’s the best candidate: People who are in good health and are at or close to an ideal body weight.

What to expect: This procedure is done under local anesthesia for small areas (and under sedation for multiple or large areas), so you might return to work as soon as two days later. However, more extensive treatments of multiple areas may require up to one week of downtime, says Dr. Kolker. The results of fat reduction after BodyTite and liposuction can become visible in four to 12 weeks, while the skin-tightening effects will generally become evident in about three to six months.

Price: Treating limited or small areas ranges between $6,500 and $8,500 at Dr. Kolker’s practice, while larger or multiple regions of the body can range from $10,000 to more than $15,000.

What it is: Body FX is a non-invasive body contouring technology that addresses problematic fatty tissue and cellulite in areas of the abdomen, buttocks, back and thighs. “Using radio frequency, we are able to provide precise and optimal heating of the skin for reduction, contraction and body contouring,” says Lauren Abramowitz, the founder of Park Avenue Skin Solutions. Combined with a healthy diet and exercise, these treatments are great options for people looking to treat specific areas of excessive fat, cellulite and lax skin. In addition to these treatments, the on-site wellness center at Park Avenue Skin Solutions offers specific IV therapies to be combined with a healthy diet. “The newest trend in body contouring in our practice combines metabolic IV infusions with the various muscle-building and fatreduction devices that we offer,” says Abramowitz.

Who’s the best candidate: Those looking to reduce the appearance of cellulite and fat.

What to expect: A single treatment lasts one hour; there’s no downtime.

Price: $600 per treatment at Dr. Abramowitz’s practice; weekly sessions over a six- to eight-week period are recomended.

BODYTITE

EMSCULPT

What it is: The first and only non-invasive body-shaping procedure that simultaneously addresses both muscle and fat; it’s been FDA-cleared for the strengthening, toning and firming of the abdomen, butt and thighs, “With the first-ever therapeutic use of magnetic fields to stimulate muscle development, Emsculpt is the first real game-changing technology I’ve seen in my field in over a decade,” says cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, founder and director of the PFRANKMD brand. “It will do for the body sculpting industry what Botox did for the facial sculpting industry at the turn of the millennium.”

Who’s the best candidate: Already-slim people who would like more definition.

What to expect: Treatment sessions deliver highly visible muscle contractions that will leave your body as sore as if you completed an intensive workout. There is no downtime associated with this treatment, says Dr. Frank, and results

What it is: A liposuction-less technique that effectively removes fat without the invasiveness of other procedures. “We have made body sculpting a luxurious, spa-like experience,” says celebrity liposuction doctor Aaron Rollins, founder of Elite Body Sculpture, which created the patented AirSculpt technique.

“The technology removes fat cell by cell out of a freckle-sized hole and tightens the skin at the same time, giving much faster results and nearly no downtime. It’s more like getting your teeth whitened than a surgical procedure.”

Who’s the best candidate: Someone with a healthy body image and unwanted fat. “If you’re feeling confident in who you are but just want to make a few small body changes, then you’ve come to the right place,” says Rollins.

What to expect: Most people are up and ready to go back to work the next day.

ouldn’t it be great to one day be inside that building?” Brandon Haw asked himself when he was 18, on his first visit to New York. He was standing in the plaza on 52nd Street and Park Avenue, just in front of the Seagram Building: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s iconic structure. Having just gone off to architecture school—in fact, having just conditionally decided to pursue architecture—he had read about the building, knew what it was, and that it was built by the man who coined the phrase “less is more.” Forty years later, Haw recounts this to me from inside the same edifice in his studio space, soaring above the plaza where he stood all those years ago.

Within the 40 years since his first encounter with the space in which he now works, Haw’s career has spanned across agencies and oceans: graduate school was across the Hudson river at Princeton, then he returned to Manhattan to work for several years before heading back to his native London.

There, he worked in the office of legendary Lord Norman Foster of architectural heavyweight Foster + Partners, eventually becoming a senior partner and watching the firm grow from less than 40 employees to 1,200. It was there that Haw worked on Hearst Tower in New York, the Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt, and the Faena House in Miami, to name a few.

Haw is working with Faena again, who called on him to design the Faena Mar, another luxury condo building between the 2015 Faena house and the pre-war, Art Deco Versailles Hotel. “You see here the old and the new, a language with the contemporary,” Haw says, gesturing between photographs. “You see here, like the pieces of a chess set. It was very delicately poised, how to marry the different buildings together.” The result? A lineup

of buildings in a historic landmarked district ranging in styles, periods and cultural references.

Context clearly matters to Haw. Another project of his, inaugurated in May, is the School of Management of the Universidad de los Andes in Cartagena, Colombia. How do you create contemporary architecture in a hot, humid climate? he wondered. He’d noticed northerly breezes during his previous trips to Cartagena and was inspired by the city’s Spanish colonial architecture, with buildings situated around courtyards and palm trees providing shade from the sun. By orienting his building toward the north, he funneled the city’s breezes over pools of water within a shaded courtyard, creating a cool microclimate with year-round air movement. Each face of the building is also shaded with a combination of horizontal projections and vertical “brises soleils,” protecting it from direct sunlight. In this way, the building is passively cooled, reducing its energy consumption and enhancing the comfort of people in the building and within its courtyard.

Haw’s latest project in New York is for the New York Dermatology Group. Haw designed the interior of the group’s flagship facility, in the process also creating his own furniture range, enabling him to address the exact needs of the space. “We had trouble finding a furniture range for a waiting area that would be elegant and functional, and fit with the design.

So, we designed this sofa and chair range and the coffee tables that go with it,” he says. Now, his furniture is to be launched commercially over the course of this year and next. All of the pieces are available in three different metal finishes and 14 different types of leather.

Haw’s focus on functionality harkens back to the beginning of his interest in architecture, before his first trip to New York or his first time gawking at the Seagram Building, in which his office is now located. “I was

sitting with my father, about 17 years old, and we were having a glass of wine together,” he remembers. Discussing which art school to go to, his father made the case for pursuing something different. “We can look at that picture on the wall, it may move us intellectually, it may move us emotionally. But if we really just don’t like it, we can turn our backs and look away. With a building, or with a city, or with an object, you can’t do that. It’s your physical reality,” his father said to him.

Forty years later, that memory still defines Haw’s work. “We’re very function-based, practically-based,” Haw says. “Out of all of that, comes the philosophy—whether it’s a sensual beauty or a functional beauty.”

You no longer need your own mansion to live the luxe life.

Super-high-end apartments are setting a new standard for those who prefer to rent. by marcelle sussman fischler

P

osh residences are just the start. Resort-like amenities, activities, a neighborhood feel and a hassle-free lifestyle are also attracting young professionals and empty-nesters to swank new rental properties.

Life at Miami’s new 85-story Panorama Tower trumps a sojourn at a deluxe hotel. Apartments have five-foot-deep glass-railed balconies, walk-in closets and dressing areas. Residents of its 821 apartments have 100,000 square feet of shared amenity space to enjoy.

“We have rooms for everything,” says Jerome Hollo, executive vice president of Florida East Coast Realty, the developer.

Among the perks are multiple restaurants, three plush movie theaters, and private dining and wine-tasting rooms with wine lockers. Musicians have a soundproof “Muse Room” for private jam sessions and live recordings.

Residents who work remotely can lease one of the Panorama’s private furnished offices.

“To make it easy, we have a post office on site and a pet daycare, grooming and boarding facility,” and a weekend beach shuttle, Hollo says. “We really tried to create this very luxurious apartment and incredibly luxurious amenities package.”

Heated pools, a children’s splash pad, cabanas and a cafe bar are on the expansive 22nd-floor pool deck, along with social lounges, a kids’ playroom and a sports lounge. The commodious fitness center boasts spinning, cardio and workout equipment, a yoga and pilates studio, a spa, and steam and massage rooms.

Wowed renters are signing one-, two- and three-year leases, Hollo says.

“At the end of the day, it’s a better investment. They aren’t worried about paying the taxes. They aren’t worried about whether it appreciates. There’s flexibility when moving, and they get a nicer luxury package than you might get buying some of these condos and a nicer amount of amenities.”

Bejeweled with 40 pieces of art, the Oskar, a 14-story, 118-unit Manhattan apartment house which opened in June, “combines the convenience of home with the feeling of a hotel,” says Natasha Vardi, senior vice president of residential leasing for the Moinian Group, the developer. “It rivals a condo at the end of the day.”

bookshelves and floor-to-ceiling windows equipped with solar and blackout shades. Bathrooms boast marble countertops and framed mirrors with brushed nickel accents; some have oversized soaking tubs with separate walk-in showers.

To feel like a neighborhood, Market Square Tower holds Sunday brunches, movies on Monday nights, cooking lessons, monthly happy hours and an annual building-wide basketball tournament.

Rents for 3,500-square-foot three-bedroom penthouses with oversized kitchens and jumbo balconies start at $16,500 monthly.

After Beechwood Homes built a 720-unit luxury condominium residence 25 miles east of Manhattan for boomers who wanted to downsize from estate homes with resort-style amenities, many buyers told the developers “they’d love to see the same caliber of residences to rent instead of own,” says Steven Dubb, a principal.

Hence, the Vanderbilt, a 195-unit luxury apartment-hotel, including 17 $4,800-a-month hotel rooms. Opened in March, the six-story building is 95 percent leased with millennial to boomer renters.

The ground floor common areas are designed for community building and healthy living: a library-lounge has fine art and rich furnishings; a 24-hour grab-and-go offers counter service. A fitness center includes a yoga studio, exercise classes and personal training.

Outside, an expansive heated pool and deck area includes a poolside bar, cabanas and grill stations. Off the striking lobby is a restaurant. Upstairs is a children’s playroom.

Apartments have open f loor plans, nine-foot ceilings, six-inch walnut f loors and crown moldings; some units have a balcony or terrace. Kitchens have custom-grade wood cabinets and quartz countertops; bathrooms are fitted with Italian porcelain and designer fixtures. Penthouses rent for $8,000 monthly.

“Instead of spending a couple of hours in an airplane flying to a resort,” Dubb says, “our residents can take the elevator and in two minutes have their resort lifestyle on the ground floor.”

FALL 2018

Apartments have keyless entry locks, floor-to-ceiling undulating windows (on f loors 8 and higher) and modern pale taupe oak wood f loors.

Kitchens sport Caesarstone countertops, glass backsplashes, paneled Bosch appliances and distinctive millwork shelving; some have wine fridges. Radiant heat warms bathroom floors in some units. Guest bathrooms feature soaking tubs. Custom closets sport illuminated hanging rods.

“The renter has a discerning taste,” Vardi says. “They want the amenities; they want the finishes.”

A communal living room with hightop tables provides a place to “plug and play.” The building also has a business center, a fitness center, a cafe seating area, a garden terrace, an onyx-and-river rock reflecting pool and sculpture by artist Arik Levy and a furnished rooftop terrace with skyline and Hudson River views.

The pool on the 41st floor of Houston’s 463-unit top-of-the-line Market Square Tower has a glass bottom that cantilevers dramatically over the side of the building. It’s just one part of a wealth of carefully curated amenities—a rooftop sky gym and training studio, a grand ballroom with a catering kitchen, a poker suite, billiards, a children’s playroom, a movie theater and a cyber lounge—that make Houston’s tallest residential tower a standout. In addition to 24-hour concierge service, runners deliver dry cleaning, packages and groceries.

As apartment living in this Lone Star city shifts from garden apartments to high rises, “people are demanding more and more in their homes in terms of amenities and quality,” says Philip Schneidau, president of Woodbranch Investments Corp, developer of the two-year-old property.

“We set the bar really high,” Schneidau says. Among the takers: millennials who aren’t quite ready for home ownership, professionals who want to walk to work nearby and empty nesters who “still want quality of living but don’t want the hassle of homeownership.”

Residents choose from three finishes for custom-crafted cabinetry and kitchen islands. Living areas in select residences have art niches, built-in

Supercars aren’t just thrilling to drive, they’re the ultimate on-road style statement. Here are six exotic and extreme automobiles for which the term “supercar” won’t quite cut it. by steve siler

If the idea of a Ferrari-baiting Ford is foreign to you, I recommend studying up on the epic rivalry between Ford and Ferrari in the late 1960s. At the very least, you’ll appear highly informed when a rumored movie starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon brings the drama to the big screen in the next year or two, and you’ll also learn how Ford smacked the Prancing Horse around a bit with its radical GT40, the spiritual and stylistic progenitor to the new Ford GT. With carefully designed aerodynamics, dramatic flying buttresses, a 647-horsepower engine mounted behind the cabin, and dihedral doors that open like a swan taking flight, the GT is the GT40’s proper super sportscar successor. Ford will build no more than 1,000 by 2020. Current price: $453,750.

FORD GT

ASTON MARTIN DBS SUPERLEGGERA

Every V-12-powered Aston Martin is pretty damn super, and today’s $244,081 DB11 is no exception. The $308,081 DBS Superleggera is basically a DB11 that is $64,000 super-er on account of its aggressive new exterior styling, meatier wheels and tires, carbon ceramic brakes, and raft of new carbon fiber components and body panels that result in the loss of 154 pounds from the car overall. More carbon fiber appears inside the car in chopped form on the door panels and center console, mixing it up with the butter-soft leather that’s piped and hand-stitched oh so elegantly.

Stir in another 85 horsepower from the DB11’s V-12 for a total of 715, and you’ve got the most beautiful and powerful Aston Martin since the million-pound One-77. And stay tuned, we expect this sexy coupe to be joined by a convertible version soon.

You don’t need to know much about cars to know that the Mercedes-AMG Project One won’t have much in common with your Aunt Matilda’s E-Class. It does share a lot with many a Formula 1 racecar, from its structure to its powertrain, which combines a teeny turbocharged 1.6-liter six-cylinder gas engine with some electric motors. This makes it a hybrid, of course, which means it has something in common with a Prius, though we don’t know many Priuses with 1,000 horsepower

However new the British carmaker McLaren is to the road car scene, producing cars consistently just since 2011, it arrived with extraordinary credentials. Founded by racer Bruce McLaren in the 1960s, McLaren remains a formidable builder of racecars today, but in just a few short years has become one of the most esteemed builders of featherweight hypercars today. Indeed, McLaren’s first and only road car before 2011 was the three-seat, 240-mph McLaren F1 built between 1993 and 1998, seen by many as the first hypercar.

The Senna, named after the legendary Formula One racecar driver Ayrton Senna, is McLaren’s latest. Weighing less than a Toyota Corolla and boasting six times as much horsepower from the 789-hp turbocharged V-8 positioned behind the driver, the Senna is wickedly quick and can top 208 mph. Its styling is clearly designed to seduce the wind more than the eye, but few supercars (or hypercars, for that matter) visually state their intent as clearly as the Senna.

Price: $960,000.

Mercedes-AMG Project One

TOYOTA TS050 HYBRID

Lest you think that racecars like the Toyota TS050 hybrid, which won this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, are irrelevant, you may be surprised to hear that during the race itself, Toyota reaffirmed an announcement made earlier in the year but which few took seriously: that Toyota was going to use the TS050 as the basis for a road-going supersports car. Details remain scarce, but the unadorned TS050-based body Toyota trotted out to prove its point sure looked like a serious machine, and a stunning one, too. As for the price, well, it’ll be very expensive: Speculation has it starting at $1,000,000, which is a lot for a Toyota, but for a LeMans-winning car you can drive on the street, is damn cheap. Stay tuned.

When your neighbor pulls up in, say, Ferrari’s rare and spectacular 488 Pista, there’s only one way to handle it: Commission Ferrari to build something even rarer and more spectacular for you.

This is precisely the kind of problem Ferrari’s “One-Off” program is designed to solve, and it’s the One-Off program that produced the gorgeous SP38 for what Ferrari describes as one of its “most dedicated customers.” With a completely custom-designed body wrapped around the structure and powertrain of the 488 GTB, it is evocative of past Ferrari legends without copying any of them verbatim.

Suitably, a custom interior was outfitted

by Ferrari’s “Tailor-Made” division.

Price? Well, Ferrari wouldn’t say, but it would likely be a matter of millions, not thousands, of dollars.

and can hit 217 mph, but we’d like to see it. Ways in which the Project One differs from a Formula One car is that it seats two side-by-side in a sort of uni-seat that doesn’t adjust (though the steering wheel and pedals do) as well as, well, it has a body. With fenders. And a dorsal fin. Yes, a dorsal fin. Mercedes-AMG will build 275 of these remarkable things starting late next year for $2.75 million Euros apiece, and all are said to be spoke for already.

Rounding out the cast is Tony Award nominee Jarrod Spector (Beautiful, Jersey Boys) as Sonny Bono, Matthew Hydzik (West Side Story) as Gregg Allman, and Tony Award nominee Michael Berresse (Kiss Me, Kate; A Chorus Line) as Mackie as well as Michael Campayno (Wicked) and Tony Award nominee Emily Skinner. “When we started listening to her songs with a musical in mind, it became apparent very quickly that her biggest hits were those that had real, emotional, personal connections to what was going on in her life,” says Suarez. “Those songs, and her connection to them, spoke to audiences in a way that made her more than just a singer, and that has been a huge gift to us as far as storytelling goes. Our book writer, Rick Elice, has been able to use her songs differently than most artist-driven Broadway shows. In The Cher Show, the songs are used as book songs, which means they all serve to drive the story forward. They help us tell her story in a very real, emotional and accessible way. The hope is that the same connection people feel when they listen to her songs, and the connection to Cher, herself, will make this a thrilling night of theater.” thechershowbroadway.com

The Frieze Art Fair Lights Up London the First Week of October. by meghan watson-donald

E

very year in October, the international art world descends on London for Frieze Week, a whirlwind of art fair wheeling and dealing, openings at museums and galleries, VIP tours and talks, private dinners and invitation-only events. From its base in Regent’s Park, Frieze London forms a centerpiece for what has become a city-wide celebration, due to take place this year Oct. 4 through 7, with VIP previews beginning on Oct. 3.

The official VIP program begins even earlier and includes private views at the Hayward Gallery and the Zabludowicz Collection, and evening performances at London’s iconic 19th-century music hall, KOKO. And of course, the best of the private gallery parties promise to be fabulous.

But Frieze Week in London is more than just good fun. Opportunities abound to discover new work by emerging artists on the cutting edge of current practice or expand your knowledge of the latest developments on the international contemporary art scene. If you have deep pockets, the blue-

chip galleries showcasing masterpiece-quality works will be out in force too.

Where Frieze London distinguishes itself is by actively developing and supporting new artistic talent through initiatives such as the Frieze Artist Award, an international competition for an emerging artist to realize a major site-specific work at Frieze. Since its inception in 2006, the award has provided early support to artists including Jordan Wolfson, Simon Fujiwara, Rachel Rose and Kiluanji Kia Henda. This year, the award focuses for the first time on performance art and provides the winner with a residency at the London-based Delfina Foundation. The winning artist for 2018 is Londonand Warsaw-based Alex Baczynski-Jenkins, whose practice examines queer politics through what he calls “behavioral choreography,” situated at the intersection of performance and dance, exploring abstractions of desire, intimacy and love.

The Frieze Artist Award falls under the auspices of Frieze Projects, dedicated to new commissions and programming beyond the gallery booths.

BEAUTY

Headed in 2018 by Diana Campbell Betancourt, Artistic Director of the Dhaka, Bangladesh-based Samdani Art Foundation and Chief Curator of the Dhaka Art Summit, Frieze Projects encompasses Frieze Live installations and performances, Frieze Film and Frieze Music. Campbell Betancourt succinctly describes what sets Frieze apart in a crowded art fair market. “Frieze London is a place that I never leave without discovering an emerging artist whom I want to work with,” she says. “I appreciate how Frieze opens up experimental possibilities for artists and artworks that might not usually show in an established fair context to participate in their rich programming, speaking to how Frieze wants to be a part of developing contemporary art discourse and opportunities for artists, rather than simply serving as a marketplace.”

Frieze’s mission is evident also in its new section titled Social Work, curated by 10 prominent female art historians and critics, including Iwona Blazwick (Director, Whitechapel Art Gallery), Sally Tallant (Director, Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art), Amira Gad (Exhibitions Curator, Serpentine Galleries), and Louisa Buck (Art Critic and Contemporary Art Contributor, The Art Newspaper). Social Work will celebrate female artists who challenged the maledominated art market of the 1980s, confronting social and cultural norms and addressing questions of identity, labor and visibility in their work. The section follows on from the success last year of Sex Work: Feminist Art & Radical Politics, which was curated by Alison Gingeras and dedicated to women artists working at the extreme edges of feminist practice since the 1960s, who transgressed sexual mores and gender norms and were frequently the object of censorship in their day.

If you are after the very freshest art available to the market, head for the Focus section, where a selection of 33 young galleries from Mumbai to Cape Town will exhibit new work by emerging artists. Highlights will include an immersive installation at Edouard Malingue (Hong Kong) by rising star Wong Ping, whose animations and video works were a focal point of the New Museum Triennial earlier this year, and at Jhaveri Contemporary (Mumbai), an interrogation of perceptions of British Asian identity by Birmingham-born Sikh artist Hardeep Pandhal, using a variety of media including ink drawings, sculptures, video and even knitted jumpers.

A short walk across Regent’s Park will take you to Frieze Masters, which showcases expertly vetted art historical works, including a strong representation of Old Master galleries, Asian specialists, antiquities, and tribal works of art. En route, pass by the beautiful English Gardens to take in Frieze Sculpture, featuring the work of 25 contemporary and modern artists from five continents, selected and placed by Clare Lilley of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. True to the mission of Frieze, Lilley aims to push the boundaries. “My hope is that the exhibition will give pause for thought as well as great pleasure, and that visitors to Regent’s Park will have a snapshot of the fantastic imagination of artists and variety of sculpture being made today.”

uring many of the world’s biggest film festivals, like Cannes and Sundance, major Hollywood stars descend into town en masse, but then are gone just as quickly. The prestigious Hamptons International Film Festival sees an equally elite audience, yet it retains a small-town vibe. Then again, Steven Spielberg, Jerry Seinfeld and Alec Baldwin do live down the street. “I got involved with HIFF a year or two after it began,” says the Oscar-nominated actor/director Bob Balaban, who lives in Bridgehampton. “The idea of a small, serious, wellcurated film festival right under my nose was too intriguing not to jump right in.”

The thrust of the festival monopolizes the Hamptons over five days in October, this year taking place Oct. 4 through 8. More than 125 movies— from feature films to shorts from local talents—are screened at venues around the East End. “We tick the boxes of everything a film fest is supposed to be and should be, and have a little bit of something for everybody,” says HIFF Executive Director Anne Chaisson.

While the biggest draw happens over five days in the fall, the HIFF is a year-round organization, offering screenings, workshops, a Screenwriter’s Lab and other programming. “I personally get quite involved with the Screenwriter’s Workshop, where every spring several scripts are chosen from hundreds submitted and then the winners are mentored by industry professionals; many of these movies have been made into feature films—how exciting is that!” says actress Judy Licht, a HIFF board member for more than 15 years. “I’ve watched with an enormous sense of both pride and fulfillment as it has grown from a sweet, granola-headed resort happening into the major cultural event it now is. Knowing I have been a part of this is enormously gratifying.”

This year, SummerDocs, HIFF’s documentary series hosted by cochairman Alec Baldwin and the festival’s artistic director, David Nugent, celebrates its 10th anniversar y. A decade ago, says Chaisson, an event celebrating documentaries was unheard of; now the events, which include a screening and panel discussion with Baldwin, Nugent and the filmmakers, often sell out before the titles are announced. Considering the Hamptons audience—which includes many who are philanthropically inclined and Oscar voters—it’s easy to understand why filmmakers vie to be included in the series that kicked off with a screening of The Cove and panel emceed by Baldwin and Nugent, with Louie Psihoyos and Fisher Stevens; less than a year later, Baldwin was hosting the Oscars and Psihoyos and Stevens were on stage thanking the Academy.

“We showed every film that won every major category at the Oscars last year,” says Chaisson. “We’ve just been knocking it out of the park, not that we want to be known as a film festival that only has Academy Award-winning films, because we have a lot more than that, but it’s incredible.”

The HIFF also offers a unique opportunity for audiences and filmmakers to have a closer proximity to icons of the industry. Chaisson cites a few fun instances, such as a young talent who made a short film about Steven Spielberg only to have the director, a longtime Hamptons resident, attend.

Last year marked the 25th anniversary of the HIFF and Chaisson says she certainly felt the weight of the milestone, but was excited to mark the oc-

First impressions weigh heavily on Paul Feig. The film director, producer, actor and screenwriter is known as much for his hit movies—among them Bridesmaids, Spy and Ghostbusters (2016)—as for his natty fashion sense, typified by his adherence to a dress code of impeccably tailored suits. “I don’t feel comfortable dressing down unless I’m around the house getting work done,” Feig confesses, but there’s a deeper question he grapples with when getting dressed: “Do I want to present myself to the world like this?”

This debate underpins Feig’s new film, A Simple Favor. It’s Feig’s first thriller, in which Blake Lively plays Emily, an enigmatic fashionista with a fondness for three-piece pinstriped suits, ornate walking sticks and Serge Gainsbourg. Emily’s style, patterned after Feig’s own tastes in clothing, is crucial to how she moves about her world—and, according to Feig, applies to all of us. “What has been lost or people don’t seem to care about is how you present yourself to the world visually,” Feig says. “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”

This is the reason he always wears suits on a movie set. “I want some kind of imagined glamour in my world,” says Feig, who reveres old Hollywood images of well-suited directors such as Howard Hawks and Alfred Hitchcock.

But as the adage goes—and A Simple Favor reveals—image isn’t everything. “Obviously we all want to be judged by our personality and character. That’s the most important thing in the world,” Feig says.

casion with numerous nods to the local community. The festival opened with a screening of Itzhak, made by a local filmmaker, about Itzhak Perlman, who runs a music program in the Hamptons, shown at one of the area’s most iconic destinations, Guild Hall. “This is what the best of the best film festivals do,” says Chaisson. “They tie what’s so important about an area and a community into great pieces of art and makes sure you celebrate it.”

Whether it’s the awards, or the Variety 10 Actors to Watch class—which last year recognized Timothée Chalamet, Daveed Diggs, Daniel Kaluuya and Kumail Nanjiani, among others—the HIFF brings the film industry’s best and brightest together with an appreciative audience in a community atmosphere where all are welcomed.

“I happen to love watching the odd little foreign films they screen at the festival. They never look very inviting; they usually have an unwashed man in a dirty undershirt weeping in the one sheet. They tend to be crammed with life and invention and emotion. I’ve discovered some utterly unknown and never to be seen again worlds that have haunted me for years. They’re just one more reason I love being a part of this festival,” says Balaban. “Over the years I helped produce and create a bunch of funny little improvised animated intros to the festival’s films. Alec Baldwin and I voiced them. They were great fun to do. Alec constantly amazed me with his quick wit and the audience always seemed to enjoy them. They played for six or seven years. I would sweep the popcorn off the f loor of the theater that’s how much I admire HIFF.” The 26th annual Hamptons International Film Festival takes place Oct. 4 through 8. hamptonsfilmfest.org.

amfAR Gala Los Angeles is a star-studded affair that raises much needed funds for the ght against S. by jill sieracki

T

he AIDS Crisis isn’t a term that of ten pops up in the m a i n s t r e a m me d i a t he s e days, as much headway has been made in the f ight against the disease. Whereas i n t he 1 980 s a d i a g no si s equated a death sentence, in modern times symptoms can be managed with medication, and education has helped slow the spread. Yet there are still an estimated 1.1 million people in the United States living with HIV, and approximately 15 percent of those don’t know they’re infected.

In 1983, Mathilde Krim, Ph.D., then a researcher at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and a pioneer in the study of HIV/AIDS, joined together a group of associates to create the AIDS Medical Foundation to help raise private funds for research; two years later, the organization joined with the National AIDS Research Foundation to found amfAR. Since then, amfAR has provided more than $517 million to programs that provide education, research, HIV prevention and advocacy.

“I f irst become involved w ith amf A R around 11 years ago when I went to one of their fundraising events in New York, and I

was so moved by the experience that very soon after I reached out to them to ask how I could be of service,” says American Horror Story actor Cheyenne Jackson, who has in the past sung at events, helped procure auction items and also helped with fundraising. “An ex of mine was diagnosed with HIV, and it was the first time someone close to me was affected. I felt compelled to see what more I could do. amfAR has been at the forefront since the beginning, and their focus on the science and research was very interesting.”

A leading fundraiser for the organization is black-tie gala events, held throughout the year in Milan, Cannes, São Paulo, Hong Kong and New York; on October 18, the organization will hold the amfAR Gala Los Angeles. The event always draws a crowd of A-list stars; past attendees have included Tom Hanks, Kate Hudson, Angela Bassett, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Justin Timberlake, to name just a few. “amfAR has the reputation and the track record, and their heart is always in the right place,” says Jackson of the organization. “I’m so proud to be a part of this world-changing group of people.” Visit amfar.org for tickets to the October 18 gala in Los Angeles, to make a donation, or learn more about the organization.

An Edgy Teen Pop Star

The Girl’s Room Can Rock

Artist Maggie Rogers enlists an all-female roster for All Things Go music festival. by kasey caminiti

N

early 50 years ago, Woodstock Music & Art Fair was conceived as “Three Days of Peace and Music.” With headliners including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead, there was a kaleidoscope of talent represented on stage and off. Since then, music festivals have remained outlets for creative prosperity and unity. What also hasn’t changed is the underrepresentation of female artists at the top of festival bills. “I’ve never seen a female headliner,” singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers tells me. And she’s not alone in that observation.

Today, there is a web of female artists who thrive in a supportive musical community, encouraging inclusivity and diversity on stages. Artist Maggie Rogers was enlisted to headline and co-curate an all-female lineup for the first day of the All Things Go Fall Classic music festival on October 6

in Washington D.C., along with artist Lizzy Plapinger, who performs as LPX. “There’s a really obvious thing that’s missing from music festival lineups, which is women and non-binary identifying people,” Rogers says. Plapinger and Rogers’s dream lineup features Billie Eilish, Jessie Reyez, Ravyn Lenae, Alma and other female superstars.

“There is such intention for why this group of artists is brought together to play this specific day. I hope there is a strong sense of camaraderie and community,” Rogers says of the All Things Go festival bill. Similar to Woodstock, music festivals should be fostering harmonious environments to motivate future artists. “I want the stages I perform on to look like what my life looks like,” she says. “It’s about making a change in this generation and investing in a future of diverse creativity.”

Pharrell Williams discovered Rogers’s song “Alaska” in 2016 and since then, the sweet-voiced songstress has toured with female powerhouse group Haim and has a headlining tour this fall.

Ahead of All Things Go, Rogers is ready to be a strong voice of this musical generation.

She readily admits that there are two reasons for diversifying lineups. “Both are inherently feminist. One is about wanting to see women and more diversity because you want the stage.”

“But I don’t want a headlining slot because I’m a woman,” she says. “I want a headlining slot because I worked my ass off and I deserve it.”

BILLIE EILISH wears sweatpants, sneakers and oversized t-shirts a lot.

There is a cool contrast between Eilish and her typically “sexy” female teen pop star counterparts on a visual level. But when 16-year-old Eilish gets on stage and the most haunting voice escapes, audiences are captivated. With her viral hit “Ocean Eyes,” “Lovely” featuring Khalid and her newest banger, “You Should See Me in a Crown,” Eilish refuses to cater to any commercial expectations as a female artist, especially during her live set.

“When I see the crowd jumping in a mosh pit or going crazy, my smile gets so big,” she says. “Getting a crowd to do that as a female singer is really rare to me. It makes me feel so proud.”

Eilish has earned her first major headlining slot at All Things Go Fall Classic. When I remind Eilish that the first day’s lineup is all female or non-binary artists, the festival darling spews several elated expletives.

Eilish celebrates female empowerment by recognizing she doesn’t have to be “pretty.” “It feels like girls can’t be ugly, physically or mentally.

But I want to be ugly,” she says. As a music lover, Eilish knows there are few things greater than seeing an artist on stage willing to be ugly and lose all inhibitions for a moment.

As one of the newest voices in the music festival circuit, Eilish offers a breath of fresh air to the stage, dressed in a baggy t-shirt.

Comic actors Megan Mullally and Nick fferman ha e written their rst oo together—an epic (and slightly naughty) chronicle of married life. by jill sieracki Our marriage is a bit of a unicorn,” says Nick Offerman, who is releasing his fourth book, The Greatest Love Story Ever Told: An Oral History with his wife, Megan Mullally, this October. “In Hollywood years, we’ve been married 227 years.

And that’s the impetus for the book, to say here is our pretty normal relationship with a couple of very fortunate life paths crossing.”

The couple met in 2000 when Mullally, at the height of her Will & Grace fame, was starring in a play; Offerman had a supporting role and made the scenery. The couple married in 2003.

Chapters in The Greatest Love Story Ever Told give each of their perspectives on their courtship, including how he was infatuated with her at first sight; she was less impressed. It also covers their 12-year age difference, families, exes and all the banalities married couples talk about over jigsaw puzzles and audio books. “What people think a Hollywood marriage must be like to

succeed versus how sort of substantive and oldfashioned we are is actually the secret,” says Offerman. “The secret is not to have a Hollywood marriage.”

Mullally came up with the book idea not long after starting on social media, when the comments section of her posted pictures with Nick quickly filled up with #couplegoals. Offerman, who has written three books on his own, including Good Clean Fun: Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Woodshop and Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America’s Gutsiest Troublemakers, “didn’t necessarily cotton to the idea,” says Mullally, who was just nominated for an Emmy Award for the eighth time for her role as Karen Walker on Will & Grace. “He was like, ‘I just don’t understand what it would be,’ but I whittled away at him.”

Offerman and Mullally worked on the book’s nine chapters over the course of last year while

they traveled across the country for her show Nancy and Beth, which costars Friday Night Lights actress Stephanie Hunt. (Offerman is famously the women’s beloved roadie.) “We would do one or two chapters at a time,” says Mullally.

“We were always laying in bed, and for every chapter, a different bed. I think there was only one time where we were at home in our own bed.”

“We’re in the same bed, but different locations,” clarifies Offerman, who is costarring alongside Jon Hamm, Jeff Bridges and Chris Hemsworth in Bad Times at the El Royale, in theaters this October. “We didn’t go to a hotel and shout across the suite at each other.”

The subjects—which range from families to sex—were “a group grope between Nick, our editor Jill and me,” says Mullally. And of course, being in conversation format, the topic frequently goes off the rails to very humorous results. Yet, even as they lay bare their thoughts about religion and anal sex, neither feels this book is giving away too many secrets. “It’s funny, because you can barely get people’s significant other’s names out of [most celebrities], much less that torrent of personal information that we spew forth and unhesitatingly,” says Mullally. “But here’s the funny part—our relationship is still totally private. I don’t feel that in any way people know, people will never know, what our real relationship is.”

ew destinations elicit a sigh of happiness from the moment you descend from the sky, but French Polynesia is in that elite league. It’s dubbed the “jewel of the South Seas” for a reason, after all. Bora Bora, one of the most well-known of the cluster of more than 100 islands that make up the French collectivity, remains a luxe favorite for a reason. From its slew of decadent overwater resor t s to it s t urquoise waters a nd sherbet-colored sunsets that sink behind the sea, it is truly among the world’s most romantic spots.

Getting there isn’t the easiest task in the world (especially for East Coast-dwellers) but, as the saying goes, the best things in life are worth the wait. You can f ly direct from LAX to the archipelagos’ main island on Air Tahiti Nui’s new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners starting this November, with flights three times a week between Tahiti and Los Angeles.

arrive well-rested. Direct f lights from the US can also be found on Air France and American Airlines, and United Airlines will be adding service to the island later this year as well.

Once you land in Tahiti, it’s a quick flight over to Bora Bora, where you’ll arrive in less than an hour.

That’s when the magic truly begins.

If you’re channeling romance this trip, grab your luggage and head straight to the St. Regis Bora Bora, a sprawling 44-acre paradise complete with private beachside villas and overwater bungalows with endless views of that idyllic turquoise water of the South Pacific. Here, you’ll get both white sand beaches and views of the backdrop of Mount Otemanu. The best part? Once you get there, there’s really no reason to ever leave, thanks to the property’s expansive offering of restaurants, spa treatments and activities. Your first stop, to unwind from all that jet lag, should be a visit to the 13,000-squarefoot Miri Miri Spa by Clarins, nestled on its own private island next to the resort’s lagoonarium (the only underwater sanctuary on the island). It’s the best way to unwind after a long f light. For a true nod to romance, try the outdoor candlelight couple’s massage, which takes place after the sunset on the spa beach, candlelight dotted all around you.

Afterwards, stick around to enjoy the spa’s seclud-

ed beach, sauna, steam room and whirlpool.

Over at the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, de-stress with Tahitian black pearl powder and detoxifying algae sourced from the ocean. Here, you can book the Overwater Spa Suite—while you’re face-down getting a massage, you’ll be taking in views of the turquoise waters via the glass panels below you. Post-rubdown, grab a glass of Champagne and immerse yourself in the outdoor tub with direct views of towering Mount Otemanu. Accommodations here are nothing less than spectacular, and include 100 overwater bungalow suites, some of which are equipped with their own private plunge pools. The resort is situated on its own little island, making for the ultimate in privacy.

Luxury resort options continue at the Le Meridien Bora Bora. Featuring glass-bottom-floored bungalows and even an overwater chapel with a glass f loor for weddings, the contemporary-designed property exudes romance from every angle.

Five white-sand beaches are perfect for lazy afternoons soaking up rays, and at beachfront restaurant Te Ava, you’ll be dining with your toes in the sand while listening to the lapping waves rolling in. The property’s truly unique feature is its turtle sanctuary, a care center where you can view the magnificent creatures before they’re returned to their natural habitat.

No matter if you create an itinerary filled with ocean adventures or you elect to sit back, relax and do absolutely nothing, it’s nearly impossible to return home not feeling completely rejuvenated in mind, body and soul.

O

n a particularly balmy afternoon in L.A., inside a sprawling bungalow at the Chateau Marmont, Mandy Moore is taking a load off. She’s been hard at work the last several weeks, shooting the third season of This Is Us, and has thus far spent the morning working out with a trainer (well before the sun came up, mind you) before heading straight to set to shoot DuJour’s fall cover. It’s her first “day off” in weeks. Yet, perched on a crisp white bed in a f luffy robe, she glows as if she’s just spent the day at the spa, a theory that couldn’t be farther from reality. As I discovered after spending the day with her, it’s her incredibly positive outlook on life that is largely responsible for that radiance. “This is what I am supposed to do; fate and circumstance just happened to place me in the right place at the right time to be a part of all of this,” she says of the good fortune that has come her way in her 34 years on the planet, and which has landed her into the coveted role of Rebecca Pearson on NBC’s Emmy Award-nominated television show This Is Us. She couldn’t be more brilliant in the role, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t have to work her ass off to get it. “I wish it were as simple as I auditioned and immediately got the part, but it wasn’t as easy as that; I had to fight for it,” she says, while elegantly snacking on crudités. “But that makes it all the better. You always want that.”

Moore ending up on the show is especially ironic considering that she had just told her agent a week before receiving the script to stop throwing her hat into the ring for all traditional network TV pilots going forward, after four failed pilot attempts and years spent trying to make it in television left her hopeless and ready for a new chapter. But then she gave the show’s script a read. “I thought, ‘I will do anything to be a part of this,’” she says, her doe eyes widening as she relives the moment in front of me.

The drama series tells the story of a married couple (Moore’s on-screen husband Jack Pearson is played by Milo Ventimiglia) and their three children (played by Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz and Justin Hartley), weaving in and out of the ups and downs of life. It’s the ultimate tear-jerker (I’ve barely made it through a single episode without crying, and I rarely shed a tear IRL), so much so that Moore herself admits she too loses control when she watches the episodes back. “Is it weird to say I cry watching our show?” she asks me sincerely, as if she’s talking to her best friend in the world. “I feel like I can say that because I’m just a tiny fraction of the show. It’s not like I just watch myself and I’m crying; there’s so many other story lines and characters to follow and fall in love with and root for, so I feel like I’m able to be a viewer just like anybody else,” she says. “I definitely find myself tearing up a lot, and I know what to expect, which is kind of silly, but it’s a testa-

ment to the writing and to the performances that my friends are giving; it’s pretty powerful.”

The preparation that comes with playing her character is far from merely emotional, though; there’s a significant physical transformation Moore has to go through to get into character as well. Moore bounces back and forth from playing a younger version of Rebecca to playing present-day Rebecca, who is 68 years old. This requires nearly three and a half hours in the makeup chair each time to adhere the prosthetics required to artificially age her, and an additional hour to an hour and a half to take them off after shooting the scene. “It depends on how much you’re laughing, too!” she says of the removal time. “It’s funny, because as soon as I’m done with work I’m always walking around making these crazy faces to break up the prosthetics so it comes off a little bit easier.” As for her reaction when she first looked in the mirror as grandma Rebecca? “It’s funny, because I never look in a mirror and think to myself, ‘This is what I’m going to look like when I get older.’ It still feels like a character to me. It doesn’t feel like my mother or grandmother. I feel like if it looked like a relative of mine, that might be cooler to recognize, but it doesn’t, so I just look in the mirror and feel like, ‘Cool, I’m this woman at 68.’”

When it comes to her beauty and fashion in everyday life, it’s unsurprisingly less fussy. Off-duty, she’s a jeans, tee and bold lip kind of gal (“You instantly feel put together when you throw a bold lip on!”), yet it’s hard not to notice that she has become somewhat of a style maven as of late. Together with her stylist Cristina Ehrlich, she’s been taking some risks, and it’s paying off. “I always have a bit of a feminine edge [when it comes to my style]; I definitely lean into that a little bit more. I’m a woman now—not a girl—and I’ve felt myself own that and embrace that in the last few years.”

She’s also embracing the idea of experimenting with things she probably would have shied away from in the past. “We all have things about our bodies or about the way we stand or carry ourselves that we just don’t want to accentuate or that we keep hidden, and I think it’s important to work with people who see you in a way you don’t see yourself.” When it comes to the red carpet, the traditional Mandy you’ve seen is in the past. “With awards season, I want to do some stuff I haven’t done before; wear colors and styles and maybe take a note from Sienna Miller’s book, and look a little less done and polished.”

Speaking of being undone, I ask Moore what she does to unwind, relax and enjoy life in the (little) spare time she does have. She pauses, takes a deep yoga-esque inhale, furrows her brow and gives it a nice little moment of ref lection. “I just moved, and I’m a pretty big fan of being at home right now,” she says of the house she shares with fiancé Taylor Goldsmith, frontman of indie rock band Dawes. “I just haven’t had a home base in a couple of years now, so the fact that I have somewhere to hang my head and feel settled feels incredible. Being home is a vacation for me right now.” As is hitting the gym to keep everything else in balance. Moore works out with a personal trainer several times a week (a combination of cardio and weights) as well as swimming in the pool of her aforementioned new house and taking long hikes around the Hollywood hills. “I like to be active; it just staves off getting down if you’re feeling a little blue,” she says. She doesn’t put herself under a whole lot of pressure on that front, however. “I play a mom of triplets; I don’t have to be in the best shape of my life,” she says, laughing. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been in the best shape of my life, actually, but I just want to feel good and active. I need to feel like I’m moving my bones.”

Her aggressive travel schedule is undoubtedly taxing, but she knows exactly what she needs to get right back on track. “I love Shape House; it’s an infrared sauna. I just sweat; I just feel like that eliminates all of the stuff you don’t want f loating around.” And although she loves to indulge when the opportunity presents itself, she has no problem pulling back on the reins to balance everything out. “I’m just a fan of elimination in general. Sometimes it’s as simple as saying, ‘Ok, no more coffee for a while; I’m going to sub out coffee for green tea’. I’m not a big drinker anyway, but sometimes it’s saying to myself, ‘You know, I think I’m just going to abstain from alcohol for a little bit.’ It’s the little things you can do to check in with yourself. You know best when its time to say, ‘Ok, I need to reassess for a second.’

I’m the kind of girl who wants to live my life and enjoy my life, so I’d rather indulge and then come home and say, ‘Ok, cool, so I’m done with wine, cheese, dairy and gluten for a little while’ and that’s it!”

All of it—from the detoxing, to the indulgences, to the quest to channel her inner homebody—have clearly left her in a great place in her life, and she couldn’t agree more. “I think with opportunity comes a sense of empowerment, for me to realize that this is the job that I feel like I was waiting for,” she says, her big brown eyes lighting up once again as she thinks about the long and winding path that landed her here today. “I was struggling to find my footing and to find some sort of traction in the business, and it’s odd to be in an industry where you have to wait for someone to give you permission to do your job so in that sense even the opportunity to just go to work everyday feels empowering. I feel like this fully-realized version of myself, like this is what I’m meant to do, and fate and circumstance just happened to place me in the right place at the right time to be a part of this. So that’s never lost on me. I’m very grateful.”

THE SPIRIT OF TWO ICONS

DUJOUR.COM

LET’S RAISE A GLASS TO LENNY KRAVITZ AND DOM PÉRIGNON.

BY KASEY CAMINITI

merican rocker Lenny Kravitz has been cultivating a distinct legacy for himself through his influential music, fashion and film for decades. With hit songs like “Again” and “Fly Away,” along with notable performances in films such as Precious and the Hunger Games series, Kravitz has solidified himself as a staple in entertainment since the early 1990s. As a native New Yorker, Kravitz naturally gravitates towards genre-bending sounds, citing influences from artists like The Jackson Five, Duke Ellington and later in life, rock ‘n’ roll legends like The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.

With his soulful spirit shining brightly in the spotlight down all of his artistic avenues, Kravitz is a true beacon of inspiration for cultural diversity. While straddling his time between Paris and the Bahamas, his creative outlets have grown to include his own design company, Kravitz Design, which has worked with clients such as Morgans Hotel Group, Swarovski, and the Setai Group. His namesake firm is responsible for the artful interior design of 75 Kenmare, a recently completed luxury condominium in New York City designed by renowned architect Andre Kikoski.

His newest venture is the collaboration between Kravitz and leading French Champagne house, Dom Pérignon. Following a slew of chic film noir-styled social media teasers, Kravitz revealed that he would be the Creative Director, Photographer and Designer in partnership with the Moët Hennessy-owned Champagne house, which is part of the LVMH wine portfolio, headed by Vice President Niccoló Ragazzoni. The luxury Champagne house has launched celebrated collaborations across its highend portfolio in the past featuring artist Jeff Koons, fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld and, now, multi-talented Lenny Kravitz.

The partnership was announced in an edgy and creative way, in the form of a flickering film sequence featuring the four-time Grammy Award winner on a piano at Westlake Studios in West Hollywood, donning his signature shades. Surrounded by f lutes f illed with Dom Pérignon, Kravitz’s smooth voice reverberates, “My experience with Dom Pérignon has inspired me so much because… it’s such a different world than what I

know.” The video closes with the words, “Rendezvouz. September 2018.”

Lacing passion and a touch of funk into all of his projects, Kravitz is an artist at heart with the desire to break down boundaries in more ways than one. In 2011, Kravitz was awarded the honor of Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters, one of France’s highest cultural accolades. Since then, he has continuously focused on defying international barriers in the music industry and beyond, making his partnership with Dom Pérignon an especially inspiring collaboration.

More details on the project will be released later this year, when Kravitz is also slated to release his 11th studio album, Raise Vibration.

Ahead of Raise Vibration’s Sept. 7 release date, Kravitz has embarked on a world tour, spreading his message of inclusion and love across the globe. With nearly three decades of experience and time to evolve into the artist he is today, Kravitz is fully embracing his melting pot of sonic styles for which he has become known.

The album’s first single, “It’s Enough,” offers a politically charged undertone and an eight-minute accompanying video component featuring news footage and public protests against societal injustices. In a press release Kravitz says of the song, “I’ve had enough of racism. I’ve had enough of war. We’ve got to get back on track towards moving forward through higher understanding.”

Contrastingly, the second single off Raise Vibration, “Low,” stars the sexual prowess within Kravitz along with a cinematic climb punctuated by the funky sounds of horns, strings and layered vocals. Raise Vibration, the follow-up to his 2014 Strut, is set to be a bold and creative rebirth for Kravitz, representative of his limitless spirit.

With a creative mind and a signature style, Kravitz will surely bring his smooth swagger to Dom Pérignon this fall, along with an inspiring new collection of ear candy for the world to savor.

LIBATIONS WITH A VIEW

IT COMES AS NO SURPRISE that when l uxu r y h ote l Th e Pe n i n s u l a Ch i ca g o debuts a new bar, it arrives with all the bells and whistles. Perched high above Michigan Avenue, with expansive views of the city and a gorgeous wrap-around terrace, lies Z Bar, and it’s all the rage for Chicago’s power-player crowd. Perhaps it’s the expertly dressed guests, or the cushy booths perfect for a first date, but something tells us it’s also the globallyi n s p i re d c o c kta i l s fro m D i re c to r o f Cocktails and Culture Vlad Novikov. With a background in chemistry and classics, Novikov uses luxe ingredients (think gold leaf, caviar and world-sourced spices) in his drinkable works of art. Below, we chat with him about how he became Chicago’s most buzzed-about mixologist.

How did you get your start?

“My first job at a bar was actually as a doorman and bar back at a venue called RIBCO in Rock Island, Ill., where I went to college. I majored in Chemistry and Classics, which helped inspire my passion for mixology and to this day plays into my cocktail creation.”

Why did you jump at the chance to hop on board to Z Bar? “I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work at the prestigious Peninsula Hotel! It also seemed like an amazing opportunity to have a platform on which to create cocktails and make my mark on the craft cocktail world.”

What is the vibe inside Z Bar, and what experience are you looking to create?

“The vibe is relaxed in the early afternoon, and as the sun sets it picks up the pace and can turn into a lively nightspot by the evening! We are hoping to create an experience where people can come here before or after dinner to enjoy delicious cocktails and time with their friends.”

Clockwise from left: view of the city from Z Bar; cocktails: Manhattan Royale and Disco Fever; Vlad Novikov crafting bespoke cocktails; Summer Wind cocktail; Vlad Novikov.

Your cocktails are so fun. Which cocktail gets the best reaction from guests?

“The Z cocktail gets a lot of positive response as it’s in the most eye-catching glass, but the small delights people get from finding out that the garnish on the Paralia is a peach and not an olive, or that the maple leaf is edible on the True North, are the ones that bring me the most joy.”

What are some of your other favorites?

“I’ll always love the old fashioned—it was the first cocktail I made for this menu. That and the Pappersflygplan are two of my favorites from the menu. The PFP is just so complex and interesting, it’s the most overlooked cocktail on the menu.”

DOING GOOD IN STYLE

JENNIFER SAMPSON, the president and CEO of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, has big ideas and isn’t afraid to implement them. That’s the reason there are a couple hundred thousand fewer impoverished people in Dallas than if trends had continued, and why a popular nonprofit restaurant has slashed the recidivism rate of the juvenile offenders who work there.

“We are trailblazers,” Sampson says. “We work with a staff and a board that has a healthy appetite for taking smart and strategic risk.”

She’s not kidding. C-suite executives from AT&T, Frito-Lay and Toyota North America all sit on the nonprofit’s high-powered board.

Each United Way chapter operates independently, and Sampson has taken the Dallas agency well beyond the organization’s standard employee-giving fundraising and community grants.

One new initiative is the GroundFloor program to nurture promising social ventures. It is responsible for several meaningful successes, such as Cafe Momentum, led by a professional chef and staffed entirely with released young offenders.

Sampson’s impact will be felt for decades via a $100 million endowment drive that launched in 2015 and is already at $56 million. That fund is separate from the annual campaign, which topped $61 million this year and was led by legendary former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman.

A native of nearby Arlington, Sampson was an auditor at Arthur Andersen before joining United Way of Metropolitan Dallas in

“WE ARE TRAILBLAZERS...

WITH A HEALTHY APPETITE FOR TAKING SMART AND STRATEGIC RISK.”

2001 as senior vice president and chief financial officer. She rose to chief operating officer in 2004 and CEO and president in 2011.

Along the way, she abandoned the dark suits and sensible shoes of an accountant, embracing sculptural ready-to-wear and custom

fashions by Dallas designer Tish Cox. “I’ve become more confident in my own skin and my personal style reflects that,” she says. “One of my guiding principles in life—and in fashion—is to live faithfully to your authentic self.”

Like its Washington, DC sister restaurant, Zaytinya’s inventive menu draws from Turkish, Greek and Lebanese fare as interpreted by star chef José Andrés and his team at ThinkFoodGroup.

Think marinated roasted red peppers with feta and thyme, Mediterranean octopus over yellow split pea puree and roasted lamb phyllo pie. The small “mezze” plates build on Andrés’ deep knowledge of Mediterranean cooking and years of research and travel. Go for the Chef’s Experience, a smorgasbord of veggie, seafood, meat and dessert plates, each harboring a symphony of flavors. It’s a steal for $65.

Zaytinya is the first Texas venture for the Michelin-starred chef and James Beard Foundation 2018 Humanitarian of the Year. Andrés landed in Puerto Rico five days after Hurricane Maria and began cooking, establishing a network that served more than 3.5 million meals—more than any other aid group. zaytinya.com

Top Dallas chef Kent Rathbun, and his wife, Tracy, have a thing for Asian cuisines—all of them. They channeled that passion into IMOTO, a new upscale restaurant in rebounding Victory Park.

“The concept is a fantastic bar, really awesome sushi and food from all over Asia—Thai to Chinese to Indian, Japanese, Korean,” Kent notes. “We love all kinds of Asian food, so we didn’t want to pigeonhole ourselves.”

Among his favorite dishes are Vietnamese chargrilled duck spring rolls, grilled lamb curry clay pot and a one-bite treat of Japanese sea urchin wrapped in toro tuna.

Pea shoots, purple amaranth and sprouts couldn’t be fresher—they’re harvested to order from a garden-like display near the sushi bar.

Kent is best known for the delectable global menu he created at Abacus, and his signature lobster shooters are also on tap at Imoto. imotodallas.com

DINE HARD

Visionary real estate developer Jonathan Enav is cornering the market in downtown Houston. by holly crawford What began with a stroll through Tel Aviv’s lively, sprawling Sarona Market on real estate developer Jonathan Enav’s vacation a few years ago is transforming an entire city block in the Houston Theatre District into a culinary mecca. “My wife [Noa] said she wanted to come back every day,” he says. “She asked ‘why can’t you build one of these in Houston,’ and I didn’t have a good reason why not.”

That’s when Enav, a Harvard Business School graduate whose family has held real estate in Houston since the 1980s, started reimagining the boundaries of one property in the heart of downtown to fill a void with his soon-to-launch Lyric Market—a 31,000-square-foot chef-driven culinary marketplace at Smith and Prairie Streets. “A

big bazaar is kind of missing in the States, and this can be one of the most visited places,” he says. “The food is slightly selfish… I have an office in the building, and we go to the Alley Theatre and ballet a lot, but we were always starved for places to dine because everything shuts down before the shows even end.”

By June 2015, Enav had a team of notable architects, including James Beard Awardwinning designer Jimi Yui of YuiDesign, in place to create the $58-million glass-enclosed project from the ground up—complete with an 800spot parking garage and the same LED technology as the Empire State Building so the entire structure changes color. “I worked really hard to make it not look like a parking garage,” he says. To help traffic flow and “activate” its sidewalk, Lyric Market purchased a lane of traffic from City of Houston.

As for what’s inside, Enav tapped Houston restaurant group Clark Cooper Concepts (known for local favorites Brasserie 19, Ibiza Food & Wine Bar and Coppa Osteria) to recruit the roster of restaurants and shops, which includes its own cocktail and tapas bar. “The bar

is right in the middle, and the design circles around that,” Enav says, “so you get a feel for night during the day.” Visitors will also get to taste the world when they step into the market—think New York City pizza and German kolaches, plus local barbecue, tacos and a steakhouse. The crown jewel is the rooftop terrace with a pop-up stage for live music and fire pits while the basement is home to a hidden speakeasy inspired by a Tel Aviv hotspot with world-renowned mixologists, and every mix is made by hand.

“We like people who have a great story, and some are local, some are not,” he says, adding that there’s also an oyster bar, a ramen house, a burger joint a patisserie with bread and macarons and retailers with fresh produce, specialty vinegars, oils, spices, sliced cheese and meats to take home by the pound. Not unlike the feeling he and his wife felt back in Sarona Market, Enav wants his grand new market to be “a destination, not just an item of convenience,” he says.

“The emphasis is on the experience.” lyricmarket.com

The newly transformed eight-bedroom bed and breakfast has withstood many a hurricane, iteration and owner. But when a group of Texas investors, including Clay Carter, scooped up the Historic District property, the goal was restoration. “Growing up in Houston, I have fond memories of going to Galveston with my family,” Carter says. “We’re thrilled to breathe new life into this beautiful home.” Shannon Eddings Interiors helped return the classic Greek Revival style space to former glory, juxtaposing clean lines and contemporary furniture and fixtures with the 1800s woodwork and molding throughout the guest rooms, parlor, ballroom and pub. carrmansion.com

How pop stars came to rule the strip. by grace bascos CELINE. ELTON. BRITNEY. And now Gwen. Gwen Stefani’s new Las Vegas residency at Zappos Theater is thanks in part to Jason Gastwirth, president of entertainment at Caesars Entertainment. When Gastwirth began in Las Vegas about a dozen years ago, production shows were a different animal entirely. Broadway-style musicals were the star, and he had a hand in bringing the highly successful run of Jersey Boys to the Strip at the Palazzo. These days, it’s less Broadway spectacular and more arena-headliner extravaganza.

When he came onboard with Caesars, the company was riding high with Celine Dion and Elton John emblazoned on the marquee of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. By the time 2013 rolled around, and visitors began skewing younger, he asked, “What if we were to introduce the first pop residency in Las Vegas?” Soon, he had his sights set on their next big act: Britney Spears. “Like when they were first bringing Celine to the market, there was some skepticism: would it work?” he admits. Competing with traditional nightclubs for younger crowds would be a gamble, so he had to find a star who could draw them in.

“Britney was a really exciting choice for that.”

Her blockbuster four-year run proved him right. Then came J. Lo, Backstreet Boys and Mariah, among others, each with their own brands of high-energy performances. And being able to rattle off most of these resident headliners without mentioning full names is totally by design. “The first screen is ‘can they go by one name?’” he says, laughing.

Combine that with a vast catalog of hits and a global fan base, and you’ve got a pretty short list of candidates whom Gastwirth and Caesars would like to showcase in the future.

Yet musical acts aren’t the only cards he is ready to play. Banking on younger audiences who are looking for more than just the same-old Vegas experience, his team recently announced a

residency for Nitro Circus, an extreme sports production slated to open early 2019 at Bally’s. Headed up by daredevil Travis Pastrana, who this summer recreated Evel Knievel’s famous jump over the Caesars Palace fountains, the BMX and motocross show sets up shop in the same theater that once housed another iconic Vegas show, Jubilee, that ran there for more than 30 years. “Our focus is on shows that might be a bit more immersive and interactive versus a traditional Broadway show,” Gastwirth says. “We’re making history here.” caesars.com

THE BIG TEASE

“Totalee on the Alley Atelier has been the culmination of what I always thought a salon should be: creative, comfortable, luxurious, artistic and intimate,” says Lee Rittiner, the renowned global hair stylist of his just-opened jewel box boutique salon.

Tucked into an exclusive nook in Beverly Hills complete with a hidden private entrance, Rittiner poured his blood, sweat and tears into the project, helping to design and even build the space.

“This was designed like a home where I can welcome clients,” he reveals about the salon, which is designed in neutral tones, inviting and luxurious. Rittiner explains that he created a place where he can be his most free and creative. “Without a sign, we incorporated black glass panels in our oversized iron door frame.”

With only four chairs in his shop, Rittiner enlists his color team and assistant stylists to provide the most undivided attention to clients, which include Khloe Kardashian and Chrissy Teigen. It’s his impressive product line, which includes cream elixir and shine mist, that keeps the who’s who returning for the attention their tresses require. His luxurious shampoos and conditioners are blended with a proprietary range of super nutrients and powerful essential oxygenated oil is formulated to manage care for the scalp and address and combat epigenetic factors, leaving clients’ manes looking shiny, healthy, luxurious and revitalized—from the first use and every use thereafter. totaleehair.com

TAKING RESERVATIONS Building on the incredible success of Santa Monica’s revered JiRaffe, Chef Raphael Lunetta continues to cast a spell over the Los Angeles culinary scene by elevating New California cuisine to new heights with Lunetta Dining & The Moon Bar (lunettasm. com). You’ll enjoy a singular dining experience within a wall-to-wall ceiling treatment of ornate foliage, while a skylight centers the room and the night sky is revealed in the constellation-inspired tiling. Begin your meal with a tossed-to-order rock shrimp & baja scallop ceviche, served with fresh homemade guacamole and lime chips, matched with a signature handcrafted cocktail. If you prefer wine, indulge in eclectic varietals offered by the glass and by the bottle. For date night, you can’t go wrong with the mouth-watering 22 oz. dry aged New York strip, which is meaty enough for two, and features potato banana gratin, Castelfranco, and confit tomato. Top off your evening with desserts both edible (try the strawberry pistachio bombe or the divinely decadent Manjari chocolate crème brulée) or drinkable (perhaps an Italian classic such as an Sambuca Romana or an Amaro Montenegro). You won’t forget your evening here. Now let us tell you all about Eve American Bistro (mayfairla.com). Executive Chef Scott Commings, the champ of Hell’s Kitchen season 12, is at the helm of this fascinating new restaurant, described

as a feminine take on the traditional European-style bistro, which takes its name from a character in a Raymond Chandler mystery. Located in the newly renovated Mayfair Hotel in downtown L.A., there’s nothing mysterious about the menu, which includes such perfectly prepared staples of Modern American cuisine as duck confit, braised octopus carpaccio and lobster truffle mac & cheese. If animal-based cuisine isn’t part of your diet, stop by Yarrow Café (yarrowcafela.com). Chef Royce Burke, owner of Secret Lasagna, delivers once again with this essential vegan/ vegetarian eatery with its inventive menu that opened in the Fairfax District in mid-summer. Also boasting a growing roster of amazing small roasters, Yarrow also pours the most exceptional cup of coffee in the neighborhood.

MIAMI MOVES

From top: The bar at Planta, in Miami; Dave Grutman.

Groot Hospitality, the brand founded

by Miami nightlife impresario and restaurateur David Grutman, is named for its founder’s beloved nickname by clientele with thick European accents. It also happens to be the Dutch translation for “big.” The latter proves fairly fitting, since the Florida-born entrepreneur has huge ambitions for his hospitality empire. Grutman created the label to house his diverse ventures, including star-stacked LIV nightclub and second club Story; Komodo, a panAsian dining and drinking den; OTL, a millennial-friendly all-day café, and Planta, an upscale, plant-based culinary import from Toronto. From morning until the wee hours, one never has to leave his world.

“I want to program peoples’ days and be the best place out there for each part,” said Grutman, who makes the rounds to each establishment with a politician’s stamina. “My businesses don’t just run. They need to see my face.

Hospitality isn’t just about saying hi either. It’s about caring.”

This fall, Grutman’s 13,500-squarefoot collaboration with Pharrell Williams launches in the Miami Design District.

The international meetup spot holds Swan restaurant and Bar Bevy with interiors by Ken Fulk, a bicoastal designer known for detailed, narrative settings. Regional talent Raymond Jungles composed its equally thoughtful landscaping.

“The neighborhood has high-end shops but doesn’t have a restaurant where people can hang out all day with great music that also delivers on food over and over again,” he said, of its menus for mixology and small plates with simple fare. “It’s clean eating because people care about where their food comes from now.”

Grutman has grown considerably since his South Beach bartending days in the Nineties. Kaia, his daughter with his Brazilian wife, Isabela, turns one in

September. He boxes, works out with a trainer and opts for the grain bowl at OTL. Komodo is gearing up to expand to other cities, while LIV, which already has an outpost at Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins, has popped up at other major sporting and music events such as the Super Bowl and Grammy Awards. Rather than be pigeonholed in his late-night niche, Grutman likes to keep everyone guessing.

“People didn’t think a nightlife guy would open a plant-based restaurant,” he said, already dreaming of his next move. “I’d eventually love to be in the hotel biz.”

TRIBECA’S MANE MAN

TO WATCH COLORIST David Adams apply highlights to a head of hair is akin to what I would envision it was like to witness Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel: Application is done with such a level of expertise, precision and passion, you would think that each particular set of highlights was the most important set he was ever going to apply. Which is perhaps why Fourteenjay has grown to become one of the most highly recommended salons in New York City. The space, owned by Adams and his business partner, Virginia Meyer, is tucked away on a quiet cobblestone street and upholds the standards of utmost perfection from the moment you walk in the door. “A big part of what makes us unique is the customized experience we create for each guest and how that experience makes them feel,” says Adams, who originates from London and has been a stylist for more than three decades. “We really want them to drop their shoulders, shake off the day and allow us to create something unique for them.”

The experience—from the therapeutic products (it’s an Aveda salon) to the superior service (flavored waters, prosecco, rosé, and a full hand massage during the shampoo process)—feels more like a spa than a traditional salon, but the true ethos of the salon is actually its simplistic approach.

“My philosophy as a colorist is simple: Beautiful color begins with healthy hair. It’s our mantra and we put it at the center of everything we do,” says Adams. When it comes to color, he is somewhat of a unofficial Blonde Whisperer, nursing new clients’ broken, brittle hair from bad dye jobs done elsewhere and putting them on a program to convert their strands back to optimal health. “The health of the hair and the scalp are completely inter-related,” says Adams, who will become a certified Trichologist later this year and plans to partner with the medical community to offer a full and complete range of solutions for guests experiencing hair loss. “They

work as an eco-system and we are passionate about looking after both.” A Fourteenjay consultation includes an assessment using a scalp camera before proceeding with customized color.

Celeb spottings inside the salon are common (Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Bosworth, Elle McPherson and Priyanka Chopra are all devotees), but Adams cracks a smile when I ask him the biggest compliment he’s ever received from a client. “A Hollywood notable came in for color and she loved the result,” he says. “When I encouraged her to tell her

friends she said, ‘I will not!’ and I was horrified. I thought that I had offended her, or something had gone wrong with her hair. She saw my reaction and laughed. She said, ‘If I tell my friends about you, they’ll know I color my hair.

Plus, then I’ll never be able to get in!’

Needless to say, she is still a guest, and she does send her friends. We just arrange to do everything quietly! I loved that she wanted her hair to look so natural that no one would know she colored it. For me, that’s the ultimate compliment.” fourteenjay.com

Guests looking for a cool sanctuary in the urban jungle—but with a legit jungle vibe—will want to check into the new Moxy Chelsea. The 37-story Flower District hotel includes a greenhouse-style atrium, which visitors will access after passing through a lush flower shop designed by Yabu Pushelberg, whose innovative design work can also be found at The Miami Beach Edition and Barneys New York. Notable design and architecture firm Rockwell Group created the groundf loor café, restaurant and second-f loor lobby as well as the glass-enclosed rooftop lounge featuring a retractable window wall that transforms the space into an alfresco sky veranda. Also contributing to the hot spot will be nightlife impresarios Tao Group, who developed unique dining and drinking concepts—think Italian fare including pasta and Neapolitan-style pizza—alongside Francesco and Lorenzo Panella of the iconic Antica Pesa in Brooklyn and Rome. “Moxy colors outside the lines when it comes to the traditional hospitality experience,” says Vicki Poulos, Senior Global Brand Director of Moxy Hotels.

“The combination of best-in-class in design, culture and food and beverage, as well as a killer price point, will no doubt deliver the fun and playful hotel experience guests have come to expect from Moxy Hotels, while reflecting the unique spirit of Manhattan’s Flower District.” moxychelsea.com

FLOWER GIRL Farm to Fab by jennie nunn AS A LITTLE GIRL GROWING UP on a farm in Bremen, Ind., Christina Stembel, CEO and founder of Farmgirl Flowers in San Francisco, initially dreamed of becoming an actress. “We had this little TV that had like five channels, and it came in fuzzy, but it was my only real window that there was something else out there off the farm,” says Stembel, who packed up and moved to New York City two weeks after graduating from high school. “I loved theater and was in Drama Club in high school, but I realized

I wasn’t very good at acting, and it just wasn’t what I wanted to do. I knew at some point I wanted to start my own company.”

After a stint in Chicago working in hospitality, Stembel moved to San Francisco, where she ultimately landed at Stanford University as the Head of Catering and Events and Director of Alumni Relations and Campaign Outreach at Stanford Law School, where she worked for seven and a half years.

“That’s actually where I came up with the idea for Farmgirl,” says Stembel, who launched her business in 2010. “I kept talking about it, and I thought, ‘If I don’t do it now, I’m never going to do it and going to be in my rocking chair when I’m old.’ Everyone

thought I was crazy to quit my stable job. But I felt like the timing was right.”

Stembel, a self-taught floral designer, spent the next several months building her business from scratch, setting her alarm for 3:00 every morning to hand-pick fresh flowers at the flower mart and assemble them in her living room. “When I started, it was really challenging to try and educate the consumers that they couldn’t call and pick red roses or calla lilies, and they didn’t get any choice. Back then no one was doing it,” says Stembel of the “you order, we pick” delivery model. “I wanted to be truly innovative.”

The just-plucked-from-thewildflower field-style bouquets,

based on a few select curated designs conceived by Stembel and her team, are hand-tied in upcycled, biodegradable burlap coffee sacks from local roasters.

This summer, the company added a comprehensive floral program for weddings and family reunions, and fullydesigned, 360-degree arrangements in vases. “I love that we are able to bring love to so many people’s lives, and when I meet people they will tell me everything about the moment of when they received their Farmgirl Flowers,” says Stembel. “I love that we are creating something that people that care about what they are sending can be proud of and that’s representative of them.” farmgirlflowers.com

Bulgari’s Wild Pop

FALL 2018

DUJOUR.COM

Big hair, big jewels, big everything. The 1980s, and this 1980 necklace, serve as the inspiration for an all-new Bulgari collection. by roberta naas

A

nyone who lived as an adult in the 1980s can tell you that this was an era of dramatic color and bold styles. From miniskirts to acid-washed jeans, shoulder pads, oversized blazers, large earrings and permed hair, the ’80s were all about whetting an incredible appetite for more and bigger everything. In art, fashion and jewelry, the decade was characterized by extravagance and by the ability to push the boundaries of expression.

Artists like Andy Warhol and jewelry houses like Bulgari took the lead in their respective categories. Warhol brought vibrant colors and abstract reality to life in his pop art. Similarly, Bulgari jewels were bigger and better, offering geometric f lair and incredible color. Many of its pieces were designed as articulated works of art decorated with gold, diamonds and gemstones.

Even Andy Warhol, the King of Pop Art, admired Bulgari’s visionary style. In an article published by Interview magazine, Warhol said to Nicola Bulgari, “I think your jewelry is the ’80s. Everybody’s trying to copy this look.” To which Nicola Bulgari replied, “But they can’t. Because they’re copying us and we are always breaking our heads to do better, always better.” Over the years that Nicola Bulgari lived in New York, he and Warhol became friends, and Warhol regularly visited the Bulgari boutique when he

was in Rome, calling it a “gallery of contemporary art.”

This year, Bulgari pays tribute to the free-spirited 1980s and to the relationship with Andy Warhol with an expressive new High Jewelry collection called Wild Pop. In typical Bulgari style, it embraces the unexpected. The 83 pieces of jewelry in this series, while acknowledging the creative styles of those times, also represent a vision for today with cutting-edge looks and beguiling beauty.

The idea for the collection was born when Lucia Silvestri, Bulgari’s creative director, visited the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts in New York. She witnessed the wealth of Bulgari catalogs and other paraphernalia in Warhol’s archives, and was inspired by his words and his passion for art and for Bulgari. Her concept for Wild Pop is to capture the daring mood of the moment. She accomplishes this by juxtaposing vivid and unexpected combinations of colors, shapes and themes. Inspired by the past, she has created a Palms necklace reminiscent of Miami Vice and a Pop Mics necklace and bracelet that recall the microphones used by stars such as David Bowie. Each piece in the collection is a revelation—a blend of reality and over-the-top daring. Making it all somehow a bit richer is the fact that proceeds from the sale of the pieces directly inspired by Warhol will be donated to the Warhol Foundation in support of visual arts. bulgari.com

CO U RT E SY O F T H E D E S I G N E R

This Bulgari Wild Pop Tron necklace draws inspiration from jewelry designed by the house in the 1980s. It is crafted in 18-karat white gold and set with nearly 40 carats of emeralds, diamonds, rubellites and amethysts.
