FotoWee dc trains an artistic lens on Washington.

By amy moeller

We’re weeks away from the annual FotoWeekDC— one of the country’s most imaginative and wideranging photography festivals—and if ever there were an opportunity to connect with local photographers and immerse oneself in regional art with

global purpose, this is it.

In anticipation of this year’s festival, District dwellers have had the unique opportunity to see their city through a new lens, both literally and figuratively, with FotoDC’s Faces & Places of DC competition. The

photography contest explores the sights of the city around every corner, from the iconic monuments that have been photographed a million times to the tuckedaway treasures you have to know to find. You can see a selection of winners and runners-up above: Some

submissions capture the calm light of DC in all its majesty, others its beautifully alive energy.

While we can look forward to seeing a tremendous variety of photographs at FotoWeekDC’s more than 150 exhibits, programs, and panels—many of them

taking place at this year’s hub, the National Geographic Museum—the images above do share one thing in common: They reveal the nation’s city as its denizens see it from behind the camera. FotoWeekDC takes place November 12–20; fotodc.org.

LETTER From THE EDITor

Celebrating the reveal of the 2016 official White House Christmas ornament design with WJLA’s Jummy Olabanji (left) and Autria Godfrey (right) and the White House Historical Association at the Historic Decatur House.

have made for an instantly insightful Letter from the Editor for our Men’s Issue. But alas, sleep deprivation is real.

Fortunately, this issue requires little rest to be fully inspired. Each year, as we pore over the most exciting projects and influential profiles of the city’s leading men, we re-learn just how deep the talent and ingenuity in Washington runs.

This year was no exception.

From Washington Redskin Ryan Kerrigan, outspoken journalist Michael Wilbon, and educator Josh Bernstein to all the entrepreneurs (we’re looking at you, Cotton & Reed guys), stellar chefs (in this issue, Eric Ziebold), developers, style

setters, tech gurus, and interior designers that make our city great, we profile the guys who are giving DC what they’ve got... and then some!

Even cover star Seth Meyers is bringing his talent to our town, broadcasting Late Night live for a week from Warner Theater. Washington may no longer be an “old boys’ club” (for evidence, see Capitol File’s annual Women’s Issue), but it’s certainly not short on men making a difference. So grab a glass of tequila on the rocks (yes, that’s a delicious thing now! See page 38), kick back, and flip through these pages to meet some of the city’s best.

Cheers!

As I sIt down to wrIte thIs letter, it’s barely 7 am the Wednesday after Labor Day, and my sweet, wiggly nine-week-old Magnolia is noisily entertaining herself in the bouncer at my feet. Most days I can’t imagine her beyond the given moment, but recently I overheard my husband giving her what I assume is the fairly standard “no dating on my watch” spiel and I laughed at the idea of my tall, thin, ultra-kindhearted man laying down the law for some 16-year-old boy of the future.

Looking back, I wish that laugh had lingered and led to a thoughtful reflection on men today, which would in turn

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

from left: With Kirk Cousins at the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation’s Welcome Home Luncheon; catching up at the Mandarin Oriental with Philipp Knuepfer, Laura Gerchik, Dr. Philippe Allouche, Pierre-Louis Delapalme, and Jeremy McCarthy.

It’s October of an election year, and all I want to do is get up on my soapbox and scream to the top of the Capitol about how sick and tired I am of the crazy. I think everyone probably agrees with me regardless of their political affiliation. But we restrain ourselves on a daily basis because we are Washingtonians.

We are strong and smart and know better. And we also know that, while screaming won’t change things, our actions can make all the difference.

Not only is it election season, but it is also the beginning of the fall social season, and there are plenty of galas and events where we can put our heads down, get to work, and do the right thing. We can take that negative energy and vent our frustrations through doing good and giving back. That is the true meaning of service and sacrifice. It is the real grassroots campaigning.

I have to admit that fall has

some of my favorite fundraising events. I get to share in the work of many organizations whose teams of people are real community organizers who create awareness and raise funds for causes all over DC. I recently enjoyed the Washington Redskins Welcome Home Luncheon and the Washington Redskins Runway Show. Talk about a cause that inspires the players, their wives, and the fan base. It is amazing what Jane Rodgers is doing for young people in DC! And of course, since fall fashion is top of mind, St. Jude’s hosted their Heart of Fashion runway show and silent auction at Neiman Marcus Mazza Gallerie, which was a fabulous yet moving afternoon.

As we move into October, the Children’s National Board of Visitors celebrates its Care for Kids Fundraiser, which kicks off on October 19 at Tysons Galleria. Everyone buy

a card and go shopping… it benefits the Children’s National Health System! Two of my favorite galas coming up are Capital Caring’s A Night in Havana at The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner, a not-to-bemissed event, and Rock Creek Conservancy’s annual gala Urban Wild, which will feature tastings from some of DC’s hottest chefs!

The next time I write to you, we will be heading into the holidays and we will have elected our next president.

Maybe he/she will get off their soapbox, roll up their sleeves, and behave like real grassroots Washingtonians and give back!

Fit For a King Get the royal treatment at Eric ZiEbold’s ultra-fine dininG spot MétiEr.

By Tim EBnEr

“Everyone, at least once in their life, wants to be treated like a king or queen,” says chef and restaurateur Eric Ziebold of the inspiration behind his newest restaurant, Métier, in Shaw.

With its seven-course, $200 tasting menu, Métier resides beneath Kinship, an à la carte spot also run by Ziebold and wife Célia Laurent. If Kinship is a once-a-week affair, then Métier is more like once-alifetime. “What everyone has been commenting on so far is the level of intimacy,” says the chef of the 36-seat restaurant.

That impression carries through with the menu, which reads like chapters in Ziebold’s life. The first course—a “loaded baked potato with caviar”— comes from a dish he once served for the prime minister of Japan. Dessert is a shortcake recipe inspired by Ziebold’s mother, and dinner concludes with a tableside roasting of marshmallow ice cream to accompany—what else— s’mores. The most exciting dish is a poached Alaskan halibut— buttery-rich, with a full-bodied taste of the sea—served in a bowl designed to look like a sea urchin shell. Says Ziebold, “Our goal is to whet your appetite… while also stimulating your senses.” 1015 Seventh St. NW, 202-737-7500; metierdc.com

.

That’s his métier: Star chef Eric Ziebold (above right) offers diners an elevated experience at his new 36-seat restaurant, where jackets are required. He’s bringing back the Parker House rolls so beloved at his old spot, CityZen, and new favorites include the canapés (top) and a buttery-rich Alaskan halibut (right).

the Rum Runners

By Tim Ebner

Jordan Cotton and Reed Walker are two former NASA space contractors turned rum runners, who are now on a mission to change the way we look at liquor. The duo are opening Cotton & Reed in northeast DC, adjacent to Union Market, and they’re bottling three different spirits: a white rum, a spiced rum, and an allspice dram (a rum-based liqueur).

“Our product is different because we don’t use a lot of sugar, as you see in traditional Caribbean and Brazilian rums,” Walker says.

“We have four different sugar sources, and we use them lightly. We really want the flavor ingredients—things like dried lime and botanicals—to speak the loudest.

I’m excited about our spiced 30 capitolfile-magazine.com

rum, which has the fall flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.”

The space is also sure to please. The 3,300-squarefoot distillery is divided by a glass wall leading to a bar and tasting room. That’s where you’ll find head bartender Lukas Smith, previously from Jack Rose and Dram & Grain, dreaming up tiki drinks and carbonated cocktails, offered on draft. “We want to push the tiki and soda trends further,” Walker says.

“This is a distillery that’s also about cocktails. We want people to come here and experience our tasting program, but the main goal is to operate both as a distillery and a bar.” 1330 Fifth St. NE, 650-302-1487; cottonandreed.com

On September 30, after a two-year, $60-million closure, the National Gallery of Art’s angular East Building (Constitution Ave. NW and Sixth St. NW, 202-737-4215; nga.gov) finally reopened to the public. Although the beloved exterior, designed by I.M. Pei, remains unchanged, the refreshed interiors include 12,250 square feet of exhibition space complete with a rooftop sculpture garden, where Katharina Fritsch’s 15-foot cobalt cockerel Hahn/Cock keeps watch over Pennsylvania Avenue. While the reopening is cause for celebration, the West Building is set to make some joyful noise of its own with “Stuart Davis: In Full Swing” (November 20, 2016 through March 5, 2017). The show unites 100 of Davis’s jazzinspired paintings, the loose, rhythmic style of which challenged the severity of midcentury Abstract Expressionism. Born in Philadelphia in1892, Davis so itched to paint that he ditched high school for the neon, nightclubs, and nonstop movement of the Big Apple. His signatures— text, commercial objects, and bold colors—later fueled Pop artists, including Andy

The Renwick Gallery (Pennsylvania Ave. NW and 17th St. NW, 202-633-7970; renwick.americanart.si.edu), the Smithsonian Institution’s museum of American craft, also reopened recently, after a two-year renovation, with “Wonder,” an Instagrammer’s paradise of nine different installations. This season, camera-phone obsessives will be intrigued by “Vision and Revisions: Renwick Invitational 2016” (September 9, 2016 through January 8, 2017). The gallery’s seventh biennial unites four young artists who consider themes of decay using materials ranging from bone to ceramics and techniques as diverse as metalsmithing and 3-D printing. Steven Young Lee’s collapsing porcelains, especially, are ready for “like” after “like.”

A few blocks away at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (1250 New York Ave. NW, 202783-5000; nmwa.org), “No Man’s Land” (September 30, 2016 through January 8, 2017) is a provocative assembly from the Miami-based Rubell Family Collection. Each of the large-scale paintings and sculptures—by 37 artists from 15 countries, including Carrie Mae Weems and Lisa Yuskavage—considers the female form. Explains NMWA Associate Curator Virginia Treanor: “The title intentionally plays upon the traditional definition of the term as a physical tract of land controlled by no ‘man,’ while at the same time highlighting the inherently gendered vocabulary of the English language.” We dare you to look away.

Scene theater

a dog day night

After receiving countless offers to adapt his bestselling novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time for the stage, Mark Haddon asked Simon Stephens to do it instead. “I was very, very flattered and fascinated,” says the 45-year-old playwright. “I loved the book before I met Mark. I love the humanity of it and the wisdom and the wit. Also, I wanted to write something that my kids could come and see. My plays are normally so dark!”

It wasn’t an easy task. The novel’s hero, Christopher Boone, is a 15-yearold math prodigy with autism who tries to solve the mystery of who killed his neighbor’s dog. His dispassionate inner monologue—keenly observant, strangely tender, and very funny—is one of the book’s triumphs, and translating it to the stage was the creative team’s central challenge.

Marianne Elliott’s production manages the feat with dazzling projections, intricate choreography, and of course, Stephens’s expert book. The show ended up winning five Tony awards.

Curious Incident is coming to the Kennedy Center as part of its victory tour, but the playwright hasn’t let the success get to him. He sees theater as a perfectly imperfect art form—something very true to life. “I kind of think all theater is failure. Just like all life is failure, really. Nobody at the end of life looks back on it and goes, ‘Yep, pretty much nailed that,’” laughs Stephens. “I think as an artist if you feel too profound a sense of success then you should probably just stop.” October 5–23, 2700 F St. NW, 202-467-4600; kennedy-center.org

Life of the mind: “My impulse was just to tell the story—to define Christopher, not by his condition, not by his neurology, but by the things that he did,” says Simon Stephens of the autistic protagonist (shown) of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. “I was interested in Christopher the person, not Christopher the condition.”

On the move: Explorer At Large founder Josh Bernstein learns about invasive species from Smithsonian Environmental Research Center biologist Rob Aguilar (below).

Sportswriter and TV host of ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption How do you stay at the top of a constantly changing industry?

“Evolve with it. Storytelling is fundamental for people who do it well—whether in the Washington Post, Vice Media, television, Twitter, or Facebook.” You’ve set the bar high for yourself. “I was 20 when I was an intern [at the Washington Post]. I worked for Ben Bradlee and alongside some of the greatest journalists in the world. You don’t come down.” Who should people be reading right now? “George Will. This year, he’s got a lot to say about Donald Trump—much of it harsh, much of it critical, all of it brilliant.” You’re very outspoken.

“People say, ‘I love it because you’re objective.’ No, I’m not. I have a point of view about most everything. If you don’t want that person trying to persuade you about what to think about the news of the day, then turn somewhere else. It’s not authentic.” Best advice: “Pay attention to the people whose work you admire and do what they do.”

Washington Redskins linebacker, Blitz for the Better Foundation founder DC: “I absolutely love it. It’s the place that I’ve made home, even in the off-season.” His new hometown: “We don’t have [MLB or NHL] teams in Indiana, so I immediately adopted the Nats and the Caps. I’m still loyal to my Pacers, but I root for the Wizards when they’re not playing the Pacers.” DC eats: “I really love Filomina in Georgetown and Bourbon Steak.”

Being a role model: “If something

means enough to you, you’ll make the appropriate decisions. I want to be seen as a good Samaritan, a good member of the community, someone that kids can look up to, but at the same time still be seen as a normal person... because I am.”

Best advice: “Don’t do something your mom wouldn’t want you doing.” About Blitz for the Better: “Special needs children are close to my heart, because I have a cousin who has autism. We want to brighten their day and provide resources to their families.”

Explorer, History and Discovery Channels host-turned-educator Exploration: “I became a professional traveler and explorer in 2004 and haven’t looked back. It’s about pursuing a desire to experience something new.” What’s next: “Explorer At Large is a curiositydriven media platform. Similar to my work at the networks, I’ll be hosting the show as we travel the world exploring things of interest.

The difference is that each episode will be only five minutes long; they’re designed to be mobilefriendly. You can watch me tag sharks in one episode, explore tombs in another, and rappel over a cliff in a third.” Why DC? “Explorer At Large and the Smithsonian share a mission to educate, and we can work together to bring content to millions of people beyond the National Mall. Over the next 10 to 20 years, we’ll be creating an archive of educational media content that will hopefully change the way STEAM [Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Design, Mathematics] is taught.”

Scene drink

sugar and spice Sip, don’t Shoot! the new batch of tequilaS growS up.

The age of añejo: As master distillers begin aging tequila longer, the rise of extra-añejos is placing Mexico’s national spirit on the top shelf amongst whiskeys and Cognacs—and in rocks glasses as straight-no-chaser sippers.

38 capitolfile-magazine.com

It’s no secret that spirits aficionados have long reached for premium whiskeys and Cognacs, but high-end labels are responding to rising demand for sip-worthy tequilas with tipples of astonishing depth and flavor.

From artisanal new-crop distilleries to world-famous brands, master distillers have begun barrel-aging the blue agave–based spirit for years, allowing the wood to layer rich notes of vanilla and caramel atop agave’s natural spice. But what

exactly makes for a sipping tequila? “First and foremost it cannot be fiery,” explains Tad Carducci, bar consultant and author of A Lime and a Shaker: Discovering Mexican-Inspired Cocktails.

“But the tequila has to have an intensity of flavor, and it should offer a long, lingering finish.”

Consider, for example, Dulce Vida Extra Añejo ($160 for 750 ml), aged for five years in former Napa Valley red wine barrels, which impart juicy, round, fruity notes. Meanwhile,

Herradura Selección Suprema Extra Añejo ($350) offers soft, Cognaclike flavors of stone fruit and hazelnut. And Gran Patrón Piedra ($400), the luxury brand’s first-ever extra-añejo, is a silky, rounded sipper with plenty of caramel and spice.

Interest in premium tequilas is on the rise, says Chantal Martineau, tequila expert and author of How the Gringos Stole Tequila: The Modern Age of Mexico’s Most Traditional Spirit. Thanks in part to celeb-backed

brands, “people are associating tequila with sophistication and style.”

Furthering that association, she says, is the the evolution of Mexican cuisine from street fare into more sophisticated dining.

While these selections are delicious on their own, is it okay to mix a high-end tequila into a cocktail? “Of course!” Martineau affirms.

Skip the prickly pear margaritas, she suggests, and “make a stirred, spiritforward cocktail that really lets the tequila shine.”

ALL THE WORLD’S A FAIR Sweet Basel! Last year’s fair included artwork from Alighiero Boetti (HERE), Paul McCarthy (RIGHT), and Alexander Calder and Frank Stella (BOTTOM LEFT, FROM FOREGROUND).

The 2015 fair included a Pope.L performance (ABOVE LEFT) and film screenings (ABOVE)—not to mention gallery-going galore.

As it moves into its middle teens, blue chip art fair Art Basel Miami Beach’s position in the global art world has never been higher.

“Every show is marked by the high quality of galleries participating,” says Art Basel’s Director Americas, Noah Horowitz.

“However, this year also affords an opportunity to look back at the show’s past 15 years and its tremendous impact on Miami and international engagement with the art scenes across the Americas.”

Beginning with by-invitation-only VIP events on November 30—which bring out major-league collectors—and opening to the public on December 1, ABMB will bring together 270 galleries from 30 countries. The five-day fest also anticipates more than 77,000 visitors, including the usual boldfaced names (with bank accounts to match), such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Tommy Hilfiger, and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

As the fair has grown so has its distinct sectors, which currently include Galleries, Nova, Positions, Survey, Edition, Film, Kabinett, and Public, featuring outdoor installations and larger-scale works. In addition to world-famous galleries like Gagosian and Marian Goodman, ABMB also welcomes 22 first-time exhibitors.

“We have some very exciting galleries participating in the Miami Beach show for the first time,” says Horowitz, “from Gaga Fine Arts in Mexico and Leo Xu Projects in China to Galerie Greta Meert in Belgium and Galleria d’Arte Maggiore G.A.M in Italy, [as well as] Di Donna and Callicoon Fine Arts in New York and Marc Selwyn Fine Art and Various Small Fires in Los Angeles.” Better together—and in Miami!

pictures perfect get reeled in with movies and more at virginia’s annual middleburg film festival.

By Stephanie Green

Middleburg prides itself on its sleepy charm, but every fall a little Hollywood razzle-dazzle comes to town. Starting October 20, more than 20 films, from foreign dramas to wonky documentaries, will be screened at the Middleburg Film Festival, many of them at festival mastermind Sheila Johnson’s Salamander Resort & Spa (salamanderresort.com).

Serious Oscar contenders are expected again this year—Spotlight, last year’s winner for best picture, made its regional debut here. Even with such high-profile credits, “the atmosphere is relaxed and intimate,” explains Johnson, a self-described movie buff who coproduced Lee Daniels’ The Butler. “From screenings to wine tastings, farm-to-table dinners, and great parties—or simply strolling through the picturesque town— there’s so much to enjoy.” In that spirit, here are some time-out tips: dine: Village chronicler Vicky Moon, author of The Middleburg Mystique, recommends the coffee and business-card swapping and free Wi-Fi at Middleburg Common Grounds (middleburg commongrounds.com). There’s also

Upper Crust (540-687-5666), which Moon describes as an “old-fashioned bakery with ‘cow puddle’ cookies and the best chicken salad in town.” She also suggests a trip to nearby Upperville (home of Buchanan Hall, where several screenings will take place) and a stop at Hunter’s Head Tavern (huntersheadtavern.com) for a pint and some shepherd’s pie. drink: Salamander’s bustling Gold Cup Wine Bar is a good starting place—keep your eyes peeled for celebs. Oenophiles will be in heaven with all the vineyards. No trip to the area is complete without visiting Mt. Defiance Cidery & Distillery (mtdefiance.com). watch: Our picks are the Oscarbuzzy La La Land, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone; Lion, with Dev Patel; American Pastoral, directed by Ewan McGregor; Toni Erdmann; and The Eagle Huntress.

And when the movies are over in Middleburg—the horse and hunt capital of the nation—don’t forget to ride off into the sunset. It’s a wrap!

VIVA ROMA! COUTURE KAISER ARL LAGERFELD MARSHALS THE ITALIAN CAPITAL’S HIGH FASHION TEMPLE INTO ITS TENTH DECADE.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY VENTURELLI/WIREIMAGE (MODELS, JENNER); VICTOR VIRGILE/GAMMA-RAPHO VIA GETTY IMAGES (STATUE, LAGERFELD); SKETCH (COURTESY OF FENDI)

BY KRISTIN YOUNG

“Fendi is Italian to its core,” says longtime creative director Karl Lagerfeld. “It’s not only Italian, it’s Roman.”

The wonderfully prolific Lagerfeld, who has been at the helm of Fendi for longer than many of us have been alive— since 1965—claims it’s easy to differentiate the Italian collection from those of Chanel and his namesake label, the other two fashion houses under his direction. “I don’t have one personality, I have three,” the designer muses. “Fendi is my Italian version, Chanel my French version, and Lagerfeld is my own version. I never made something that looked like Chanel at Fendi and never made something that looked like Fendi at Chanel, because both have a [separate] identity.”

There is perhaps no greater tribute to Fendi’s quintessential romanità than the staging of its 90th anniversary fashion show upon Rome’s Trevi fountain in July. Models literally walked on water—an illusion created by a clear platform placed over the newly-restored fountain and pool—revealing a collection inspired by illustrations of legends and fairy tales. “Very romantic, but modern at the same time,” says Lagerfeld of the collection, which comprised whimsical, flowing dresses, many with

Botticelli-esque empire waists; white lace dresses buried in appliquéd flowers; and lavish fabrications such as lush layers of tulle and velvet—pieces that look like they hail from an enchanted forest.

Part and parcel of the 90th-anniversary collection, Fendi has released a limitededition Selleria Peekaboo handbag, a one-of-a-kind accessory made entirely by hand in 60 pieces. The bag features punto baseball, or baseball stitching, a larger-form stitching technique handed down through the generations by Roman master saddlers.

The Peekaboo bags are exclusively sold at the Palazzo Fendi boutique in Rome.

And, if you happen to be in the Italian capital, head to the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, where you will find “Fendi Roma: The Artisans of Dreams” (through October 29), an exhibition that celebrates the maison’s nine decades of craftsmanship and creativity. For those who can’t make it to Rome, the short film Fendi: Hands Make Beauty, available online, highlights the brand’s evolution, and the coffee-table book Fendi Roma, a recent release from Assouline, explores Fendi’s connection with the Eternal City.

Lagerfeld, now 83, says he’s still brimming with ideas and is given the freedom to create what he wants at Fendi. So expect plenty more from Italian Karl in years to come. It’s not work, he insists. “Work is when a person wakes up every morning and goes to do something they don’t like,” he says. “I have the chance of doing something I love and doing it [in] the best conditions... I’m interested in a lot of things, even more today than before. I like to change while the world is changing. That’s what fashion is all about!”

Why should lumbersexuals have all the fun? John Page, stylist manager at Sa S FiFth avenue, tells us hoW to play With plaid this fall.

By Oussama Zahr

So plaid is back!

How does this trend look today?

Plaid is definitely back! On the runway we saw it in all different variations— from loaded-up for an edgy, young look to stand-alone pieces for a more refined look.

Plaid is a traditional suiting pattern—where else are we seeing it?

Strong shirting from Givenchy and Saint Laurent, cool oversized tees from Lanvin, and even

a plaid hoodie from Balmain. Gucci has a fantastic plaid horsebit loafer that will find a home in my own closet.

How should DC men incorporate it into their wardrobe?

The teams at Brioni and Canali continue to give us gorgeous plaid suiting that would work in even the most rigid office dress codes. Plaid shirts are my favorite thing in the world.

To pair one with a plaid jacket this fall, hit the mute

Style tip: “The beauty of plaid is that you can pull any of the colors out to accent the jacket,” says Saks Fifth Avenue’s John Page.

What’s a standout piece this season?

There is an incredible Isaia blazer with a camel, oxblood, and jade pattern.

It could be worn with dress trousers and a collared shirt for a business-casual look or paired with a turtleneck—another fall trend!—and jeans for a casual evening out.

How do you complete a look?

I always say pick a piece and make it the star.

Globetrotters, rejoice: Marrying German engineering with French chic, Rimowa and Moncler’s latest luggage collab (HERE AND TOP LEFT; from $1,700) proves worthy of Moncler swear-bys like Brigitte Bardot (ABOVE) and Jackie O. (LEFT).

PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF MONCLER

If Rimowa is synonymous with invincible hard-case luggage, and Moncler with impossibly chic puffer coats, then any collaboration between the two is destined for must-have status.

The German-based luggage company and the French sport apparel label’s first collaboration came about in 2012, and the two are teaming up once again to introduce the Multiwheel Topas Stealth collection, combining Moncler’s sleek high-fashion style with Rimowa’s high-tech innovation. The collection boasts a lightweight gray aluminum exterior (with Rimowa’s signature grooves, of course) in three different sizes, each with a quilted camouflage fabric developed by Moncler specifically for the collection.

Even better, the silenced Multiwheel gliding system, in addition to optimal functionality and maneuverability, makes for quiet traveling across any terminal or tarmac. And with accessories like footwear bags and wash bags—perfect for all of those personal possessions and TSA-approved liquids—it’s the ultimate set of luggage to get you from Aspen to the Costa Smeralda and back again.

The brand was the brainchild of 31-year-old CEO Kevin Lavelle, who was inspired to create cooler sportswear after spending “one sweaty summer” on Capitol Hill four years ago. “Guys in DC are always on the move, and let’s face it, while DC wasn’t really built on a swamp, sometimes it feels like it,” says Lavelle. The latest collection features new styles of the line’s moisture-wicking, wrinkle-resistant performance dress shirts—named for US presidents, including Roosevelt and Kennedy—and can be found at such retailers as Onward Reserve in Georgetown and Stile at National Harbor, as well as country clubs around the DMV. mizzenandmain.com

Let’s stop talking about cancer.

Donald Trump, MD CEO, Inova Schar Cancer Institute

Cancer isn’t just one disease. Each diagnosis is different and requires an individualized approach. That’s why at Inova, our team of experts specializes in specific cancers, and invites their patients to join them in creating a treatment plan that’s unique, more precise and in many cases based on the DNA of their tumor.

Monica Murphy-Kumar and Sekwon Jang, MD

Against All Odds Monica Murphy-Kumar defied the odds.

She boldly stared into the eyes of a known killer —stage 4 melanoma — and didn’t flinch. Experts gave Monica only a 1 in 5 chance of survival.

The experts did not know, however, the size of the fight within Monica or the formidable team she assembled in her corner.

Monica’s incredible journey began in the confines of a doctor’s office. Twenty-one weeks pregnant, trying to corral her 14-month-old son on her lap, her doctor delivered the sobering news that Monica had metastatic melanoma.

Her pregnancy limited the use of advanced diagnostic technologies to gauge if or where the cancer had spread. The tests that could be performed safely revealed no causes for concern.

About a month after Monica and her husband, Ramesh, welcomed into the world their healthy, beautiful son Ronan, a CT scan discovered Monica’s cancer had indeed spread to her lungs.

Historically, a diagnosis like the one Monica received carries with it the word incurable. Monica was undaunted and determined to live. She ignored the odds.

Monica and Ramesh knew that they needed help to defeat the cancer. They evaluated several hospitals and cancer specialists. They chose Dr. Sekwon Jang. Said Monica about Dr. Jang, “he just seemed to know where the future was going.”

Dr. Jang prescribed a personalized treatment plan that included Yervoy, an immunotherapy that stimulated Monica’s own immune system to fight the cancer. Even with Yervoy’s potential to halt metastatic melanoma, statistics gave patients only a 20 to 25 percent survival rate after three years.

Monica wrote off the statistics. She reasoned someone as young as her with two wonderful sons and a great husband could not die. So, with the skillfulness of her doctors and the unwavering support of her family, she fought.

To make a donation or for more information, please contact Jennifer McGihon, Institutional Giving Director, at 703-776-3422 or jennifer.mcgihon@inova.org

At the conclusion of the of Yervoy treatments, a CT scan revealed the tumors on Monica’s lungs had decreased. Eventually, they disappeared. The medical term for this remarkable outcome is No Evidence of Disease or N.E.D. Monica was N.E.D. She won.

Only five years ago, without the knowledge and medicines Inova cancer specialists have today, Monica may not have overcome the odds.

Philanthropy has driven research to discover new therapies like Yervoy to give patients a fighting chance — to help them beat the odds.

Help cancer patients like Monica and their families defeat cancer and obliterate the odds. Support cancer research and care at the Inova Schar Cancer Institute.

COMIC TRIP

For Seth Meyers, an election year—especially this election year—is the gift that keeps on giving. To show his appreciation, he’s bringing Late Night to DC.

by Amy moeller

In

the ever-quickly-changing world of late-night television, funny guy and notable Saturday Night Live alum Seth Meyers is gaining ground. And this fall, Washington is getting in on the action. For four nights, beginning October 10, Meyers and his crew at Late Night with Seth Meyers will be on location, broadcasting daily from the Warner Theatre.

“With Conan going to Chicago, Kimmel to Brooklyn, Fallon out to LA, and shows like The Daily Show going to conventions, we weren’t breaking new ground with the idea of taking the show on the road,” Meyers says. “We just wanted to be a part of it.”

And what better place to be a part of it, on the brink of an historic election, than the nation’s capital? After all, the current state of affairs, Meyers says, has certainly lent itself to comedy: “There’s just so much information out there right now. If it were a different election, who knows if we would talk about it as much as we talked about this one, but this has dovetailed so nicely with comedy that it has been fun to focus on.”

Along with politics, Meyers hopes to keep pop culture in the mix for the DC shows. “I’m just excited about the energy live,” he says. “I’ve done stand-up shows at the Warner before. It’s a great old theater, and I think it will be a fun venue.”

In addition to performing stand-up here—and visiting as a kid, of course—Meyers says his most

memorable trip to the city was when he hosted the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in 2011. “I had a bunch of writers with me and a bunch of people from SNL came down that year to support,” he recalls. “The night after was one of the most fun nights of my life.”

Since then, much has changed for the 42-yearold comedian and late-night host. In 2013, he married his longtime girlfriend, lawyer Alexi Ashe, and just this year the two welcomed their first child.

As the host of a politically driven show, having a new baby during election season has made him even busier than usual.

A typical workday begins at 8:30 am, when Meyers meets with his writing team to decide on and write the first part of the show. From there, he heads to a series of meetings where material is pitched and reviewed, before he sits down for a two-hour writing session—“probably the most intense part of the day,” he says. At 4 pm, he hits the studio, where “we’ll rehearse everything that’s going to be in tonight’s show for an audience that we sort of just drag in from 30 Rock—a bunch of tourists that we corral and try to lure with the promise of free, undercooked comedy.” The rehearsal typically includes some 50 jokes, which are subsequently narrowed down to 10 to 15 for the taping. The show tapes at 6:30, and at 7:30 Meyers heads home. “It’s a long day, but it’s never boring,” he says. “I always [feared] everything would feel boring after SNL. This is not boring.”

Stranger than fiction (from top): Late Night host Seth Meyers has shared a couch with both of this year’s presidential candidates. He interviewed Hillary Clinton on his show last year, and paired up with Trump in 2004 for a Saturday Night Live skit, “Fathers and Sons,” in which the two portrayed Gary and Peter Fleck.

It was at Northwestern University (something of a funny factory, having also graduated such comedians as Ana Gasteyer and Billy Eichner) that Meyers’s comedy career first took root. “I thought I wanted to be a film director,” he recalls, “[but during] New Student Week I saw the improv troupe.

Northwestern had a pretty decent improv troupe, and I set my heart on that.”

For the next three years, Meyers poured his efforts into joining. “I started going downtown in Chicago and taking improv classes,” he says. “Eventually, my senior year, I actually got cast in that improv troupe that I fell in love with.

That kind of set me out down the road that ultimately led to here.”

But before he got “here,” Meyers spent 13 years on Saturday Night Live, ultimately earning the roles of co-head writer and “Weekend Update” anchor, joining the ranks of such SNL alumni as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. “Every decade, the show kind of recreates itself,” he says, “and I stayed long enough to make sure I was there for one of those re-creations. It was awesome. It was a lucky time to be there… especially being somebody who loved to write…

Everybody in that group elevated everything you put on the page.”

As “Weekend Update” anchor, Meyers performed alongside such iconic SNL characters as Stefon, played by Bill Hader. “I think one of the many things, great things, you could say about Stefon and the job Bill and John [Mulaney] did writing it is that it ages really well,” Meyers says. “It doesn’t seem like a bygone era; it’s really great. It was so well-written and so well-performed that I think it will live for a long time.”

His transition from SNL to Late Night was a notably quick one: Meyers made his Late Night debut a mere three weeks after his SNL finale.

“I think if we’d been given six months instead of three weeks [for Late Night], it would have all been for naught,” he says, because “we [had to] learn how to do these shows by doing them more than anything else, which I think it’s important to stress to anyone watching one of these late-night show launches. So many have launched since we’ve started. I feel like there are more new shows since we started than ones that are still on the air. I was lucky enough that the network was patient. We got a lot more political about a year in. That, then, gave a sense of direction that we’ve sort of been embracing ever since.”

Just don’t expect any feigned nonpartisanship. “All good comedy comes from people that have a strong point of view,” Meyers explains. “One of the things we’ve embraced on this show is that point of view. We worry far more about taking the way we feel and making it funny as opposed to coming in every day and saying, ‘If we make a joke about that side, we have to make a corresponding joke about the other side.’ We try to be fair and accurate, but that’s more important to us than being evenhanded.”

Even as the host of Late Night, Meyers says he identifies most with being a writer.

“Even in high school… I loved writing, and to this day I still probably find it the most rewarding of everything I do,” he says. “With that said, it’s pretty great to walk out and do an hour show with a lot of material that’s been written for me by other great writers that I did not have to sweat over as much as they did. I always think of myself as a writer first and then a performer second.”

This fall, Washingtonians get the chance to see him be both. “Mostly I’m just curious to see how my writers behave in a hotel,” he says with a laugh. “I feel like a camp counselor who’s taking a lot of kids to a museum.”

CATWALK KITCHEN ANNAPOLIS-BASED CREATIVE RICHARD T. ANUSZ IEWICZ TAKES A FASHION-FORWARD APPROACH TO DESIGN.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY EARL KENDALL (ROOMS, PORTRAIT); JAMIE MCCARTHY/FILMMAGIC (MET GALA)

Richard T. Anuszkiewicz, executive director of the Kitchen and Bath division for Alt Breeding Schwarz Architects, gives Capitol File an exclusive preview of a fashion-inspired kitchen that will travel the country as part of a showroom for luxury kitchen-and-bath brand DXV. Tell us about this project.

DXV, by American Standard, put together a design panel of four designers, gave them each a decade and a city, and asked them to design a room. Mine is titled “The Concrete Jungle,” and the inspiration is a futuristic, forward-thinking take on New York City in the 1920s.

What’s your process?

I listen to music and look at a lot of imagery. A mashup of Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” and Jay Z’s “Empire State of Mind” really inspired me. I’m constantly looking in magazines or on Instagram at different fashion houses. I love Tom Ford, because he always has this smoky, elegant vibe. That was a feeling I wanted—a masculine space that would be interesting for the idea of entertainment and nightlife.

Who else inspires you?

Olivier Rousteing, the creative director at Balmain, is always pushing the boundaries. He does a great job of taking something classic but putting this huge twist on it.

Kitchen designer Richard T. Anuszkiewicz (TOP LEFT) says that this image of models in Balmain at the 2016 Met Gala (ABOVE) evokes the feeling of his design (HERE AND BOTTOM LEFT). “It’s very futuristic, it’s edgy, but the construction of the dresses was very classic,” he says.

“When you look at my room, all of the lines are clean, all of the geometries are simplistic in nature.”

After the successful launches of Atelier Swarovski jewelry and accessories, Swarovski has added another beautiful branch to its more than 120-year-old empire with the debut of Atelier Swarovski Home.

Says Nadja Swarovski, the company’s head of corporate communications and design services, “We wanted to translate the forward-thinking design DNA and technical expertise within our brand, as well as the energy of the creative talent, into a collection of luxurious and covetable objects.”

For the debut, the company collaborated with nine of the world’s leading designers for crystal objects that are remarkable for their artistry and technologically advanced design. Included in the collection is a chessboard combining maps of Manhattan and Milan designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, as well as a series of sculptural candle holders from Kim Thomé.

Most noteworthy in the collection is the Crista centerpiece by the late architect Zaha Hadid. It utilizes Swarovski’s groundbreaking Wave Cut technique, which “combines cutting-edge computer technology with mechanical engineering to cut curved forms in crystal,” says Swarovski.

“The wave-cutting technique took 10 years to develop, and only two people in the world are able to skillfully use the machine,” she adds. “We were all so heartbroken

by Zaha Hadid’s passing, but it seems fitting that she was the first person to use this new technology with one of the final pieces she produced.” atelierswarovski.com

In the season for hosting, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams’s slipcovered Dr. Pitt sectional (from $8,552) is ideal for any large gathering, from grown-up cocktail parties to family movie nights.

all about a little bit of understatement.”

The look has resonated with buyers across the country, allowing the pair to roll out a rapid retail expansion plan that involves three to five new stores per year, including recently opened locations in Austin, Texas, and King of Prussia, Pennsylvania—plus another

slated for Cincinnati, Ohio, by the end of the year.

This fall, the design focus is all about entertaining.

“There’s been this evolution in the market,” says Gold, 65. “People want to entertain more at home— to have a home that’s a little bit dressier but still comfortable.” To that end, the company introduces

three surefire cocktail-party conversation starters: a shimmering brass and acrylic bar cart ($1,870), a curved chaise in deep teal ($3,060), and a slipcovered sectional (from $8,552; above) that can be pushed together or apart for myriad seating options. The new pieces roll out the perfect start to the season, as folks

begin to head indoors and plan their holiday soirées.

Also new: the company’s first customizable luxury drapery collection. “We’re always looking for different ways to expand what we’re offering,” says Williams.

“This is just a natural extension of what we do.”

Antonis Karagounis’s stamp is on nightlife venues around the city—including Echostage, Sound Check, and Ultrabar— so when he set out to launch L8 Lounge, an upscale hangout just blocks from the White House, he wanted something different. He envisioned a small, intimate space with an emphasis, he says, on “sexy and sophisticated décor.”

By tapping design architect Josh Lee of Josh Lee Designs, he got just that. The 3,000-square-foot underground space has a futuristic feel with a nod to ’90s retro—think polished concrete flooring, tufted white leather walls, and shiny vinyl against a palette of dark blue, crimson, purple, and black. Details like the bubbled ceiling, minimalist furniture, and custom fiberoptic chandeliers add to the rave-of-the-future vibe.

“I think it’s more about the feeling that I have in the space rather than what’s bought or sold,” says Lee when asked about a favorite design element. “The buttons on the wall, the individual sparklers, the lighting from underneath the platforms of the VIP area, the DJ booth—by looking at it as a whole, there’s something very unique. When the entire place comes together and we fire up the sound system, you really start to envision yourself as a partygoer.” 727 15th St. NW, 202-506-7006; l8loungedc.com

“I have dinner at least once a week at Trattoria Alberto (506 Eighth St. SE) on Barracks Row. It’s pretty old-school as far as the Hill goes.

“Set in a former carriage house adjacent to the Hill Center, Bayou Bakery (901 Pennsylvania Ave. SE) has a wonderful ambience both inside and outside on the shaded patio.

“EatBar (415 Eighth St. SE) opened not long ago on Barracks Row and is a welcome addition to the cocktail and dining scene.

The mood is a bit more hip than other Hill spots, and the jukebox selection is pretty eclectic. There’s an extensive and thoughtful wine list and great small plates.

“There’s something alluring about a ‘secret’ restaurant. I enjoy introducing nonlocals to Betsy (514 Eighth St. SE), which is technically part of Belga Cafe.

The open-air dining space feels somewhat like a beach escape. It’s accessed via an alley and stairs that give no clue of what awaits!”

“It looks like a living room,” says my wife as we climb into the new Jaguar F-Pace SUV for a road trip up I-95.

She’s right—if the living room in question belonged to a Silicon Valley tech titan. It must be the two-tone gray-andblack leather seats. Or maybe the blue LEDs that light up along the doors at

night. It’s definitely the 10.2-inch touchscreen that controls a server’s worth of features, such as a smart navigation system that suggests parking lots and alternate routes for your daily commute, a 17-speaker surround sound system, and Wi-Fi that accommodates up to eight devices.

This isn’t the kind of

throwback SUV you’ll load with fishing gear and then go bashing through the woods to your favorite campground. It’s the kind you’ll take to a resort offering daily massages in a luxury yurt.

Still, this auto’s no shrinking violet. The oversize grille, coupled with the narrow slits of the headlights, lends a

playful sneer as the car approaches—a nice counterpart to the 380-horsepower, eightspeed engine that seems to growl at every tollbooth in its path.

Or maybe that’s just my imagination.

Developers and buyers are clamoring for space in up-andcoming neighborhoods. Can the same be said for Georgetown?

Rashid Salem: It’s one of the hardest places in the city to do business as a developer because people are willing to take on personal projects. Someone might have grown up wanting a place on M Street, and when the perfect house finally comes up, they’ll pay whatever it takes. It’s highly competitive.

Thomas Anderson: It is one of the most historic towns of its type in America, and one of the most desirable places to live in the capital region.

How does Georgetown compare to buzzy areas like 14th Street and U? Philippe Lanier: It’s not wrong to say there’s a lot of action there, but more leases have been signed in Georgetown in the last three years than in any of those other neighborhoods.

As DC’s rapid growth draws eyes toward such neighborhoods as H Street NE, the Wharf, 14th Street, and Brookland, tried-andtrue Georgetown is seeing its own evolution. Here, Salem Capital Development’s Rashid Salem (qstreetdc.com), Washington Fine Properties’ Thomas Anderson (3201 New Mexico Ave. NW, Ste. 220, 202-944-5000; wfp.com), and EastBanc’s Philippe Lanier (3307 M St. NW, Ste. 400, 202737-1000; eastbanc.com) weigh in.

houses date back to the 1800s and 1700s, bringing a very real sense of charm. It boasts many parks, giving an in-town living experience a little more dimension, and it has the shopping and restaurants.

What are some of the challenges to developing the area?

PL: When you change these historic buildings, you have to bring them up to code, and next thing you know, you’re rebuilding from the inside out. The start of EastBanc’s success was when we found a way to combine them… and make the buildings more amenable to what retailers wanted.

RS: The Old Georgetown Board is particular. [But] if you’re going to buy something in an historic area, Georgetown has their process down, since they’ve been doing it for so long.

A few restaurants have left, but others are on their way.

PL: It’s not hard to attract them to Georgetown; it’s hard to find spaces that suit them. [But] the tide is turning. You’ve got Nobu coming.

We’re building across from the Four Seasons, whose ground floor will have a top-flight restaurant. I hear people’s complaints, but I’m confident we’re addressing them.

Meanwhile, everything else in the market, we have. It’s still the most diverse place to shop. And the daily foot traffic in Georgetown compared to the other areas is significantly higher.

With all of this growth, who is the Georgetown resident?

RS: To Georgetown buyers, prestige means something. There’s a different cachet… You see buyers from California spend $60 million on 31st Street. More than just diplomats and political people want to live in Georgetown.

What are some musts for Georgetown home buyers?

TA: A garden. It provides more for urban living.

RS: Having that private oasis, walking out of a 60-year-old home into a little garden—you feel like you have a piece of history.

Rashid Salem of Salem Capital Development credits recent EastBanc projects, like District Doughnut (left) and Ledbury (below left), and imaginatively designed homes like this one at 3614 Prospect Street NW with helping to change the landscape of Georgetown.

Real-life Camelot (here and above right): This former home of Jacqueline Kennedy, located at 3017 N Street, was built in 1794, features an expansive private garden, and is a prime example of the historic charm that Georgetown offers.

Post’s affinity for the decorative arts and the flapper lifestyle, Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens—the region’s most fabulous hometurned-museum—has opened the exhibit “Deco Japan: Shaping Art and Culture, 1920–1945.”

In celebration of Art Deco, which influenced everything from jazz and fashion to visual art and architecture, the show explores Japan’s interpretation of this bold geometric style with artifacts such as (clockwise from far left) a 1929 songbook, a porcelain vase from the 1930s, and even a sake flask in the shape of an Akita.

freely speaking Earl of arkansas or Trump fraTErniTy? ThE voTE’s on us!

all the president’s men Bill Clinton would have the Challenge of Being our first first gentleman, while trump’s sons would have a tough aCt to follow.

Two Presidential candidates, two very different degrees of masculinity in the White House.

A Hillary Clinton win would make history, but having two Presidents Clinton in the White House adds even more to the intrigue. While the rest of the country speculates on Bill’s potential title-First Gentleman? Earl of Arkansas? Plain ol’ No. 42?—Washingtonians will be getting used to

watching him standing silently next to the President, perfecting his lovingly subservient gaze.

Of course, politicos assume Clinton 1.0 will be hard at work on policy, but if Hillary famously declined to stay at home and bake cookies, isn’t it conversely Bill’s right to stay at home and preheat the oven?

Like Jackie O., he could redecorate the Roosevelt Room, taking it in a different direction as the

104 capitolfile-magazine.com

White House’s first Man Cave. It would be classy, of course—think leather accents, a comprehensive library of buddy films, and a saxophone stand.

But while Bill is only competing with himself, Trump’s gang of guys, Donald Trump Jr., Eric, and Barron, would have the opposite problem as White House first timers: Wouldn’t we be constantly comparing them to Sasha and Malia Obama? The

girls navigated public puberty with grace, coordinating their coat color palettes for every turkey pardoning.

Fortunately, the Trump boys already have a signature look, with their Gordon Gecko slickedback hair. And there’s no reason to doubt they’re every bit as well-suited to interior design as Bill. We can expect all those distinguished portraits of heads of state to be

replaced with the heads of big game they’ve hunted.

And they’ve got credibility.

With their experience as advisers on The Apprentice, Donald Jr. and Eric could liven things up with such original fund-raising ideas as a White House Lawn lemonade stand (run by little Barron!) or a hot-dogselling competition.

So which will it be: Earl of Arkansas or Trump fraternity?

The vote’s on us.
