FRONT RUNNER The Wayne-Marlin Trio rehearses atop the chimney of the Lord Tarleton Hotel, Miami Beach, on November 15, 1951. George Wayne Long supports Glenn Marlin Sundby and Sundby’s sister, Dolores, with no apparent effort, 25 stories above the ground.

All HAnds on deck

Before the days (or rather nights) of Champagne sparklers and the world’s greatest DJs spinning dance beats till sunrise, it was Billie Holiday, Count Basie, and Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack who made Miami a showplace.

But it wasn’t just all that jazz that set the stage for what would be decades upon decades (half a century and counting) of stuntin’ performances. Case in point: that time the Wayne-Marlin Trio maneuvered a handstand 25 stories above sea level for some good old-fashioned fun.

Glenn Marlin Sundby (the latter part of Wayne-Marlin) was an acrobatic stuntman who got his start on Santa Monica’s famed Muscle Beach in the late 1930s and would go on to cofound the US Gymnastics Federation, establish the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame, and single-handedly publish a plethora of acrobat magazines, including the still-standing International Gymnast. He and former wrestler and bodybuilder George Wayne Long met at the beach, instantly formed a connection, and developed a traveling acrobatic act with Sundby’s sister, Dolores.

62 oceandrive.com

Natural-born performers, they showed off their abilities all around the country, including at Radio City Music Hall and on The Ed Sullivan Show. It was Sundby’s walk down all 898 steps of the Washington Monument on his hands, however, that skyrocketed him to national prominence, earned him a cartoon drawing in Ripley’s Believe It or Not, and prepped him for the pinnacle of his career, in 1951.

On a typical November day in Miami (sunny, not a cloud in sight), the triad rose to the occasion 25 floors above the Art Deco Lord Tarleton Hotel (which was resurrected as the Thompson just last year). While standing on the hotel chimney, Long locked arms with Dolores and squatted slightly to balance the smiling, tilting performer on his thighs, while a fearless Glenn Marlin Sundby did a handstand on Long’s outstretched right arm.

A true to shirtless form Miami moment, this daringly dexterous, yet effortlessly graceful, spectacle remains evidence that like gymnastics, life in the Magic City is a perpetual balancing act of work and play. OD

LETTER from the Editor-in-Chief

FROM LEFT: At the launch of 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach’s “Seedlings” program with David Martin, Jay Parker,

FROM ABOVE:

Spending the day with Ocean Drive’s October cover star Dwyane Wade; on the red carpet with our September cover star, Kate King, at Nikki Beach.

RECENTLY, GLORIA AND EMILIO ESTEFAN’s smash hit musical On Your Feet opened on Broadway in NYC to rave reviews. It’s a coming-of-age story set—where else—Miami. On network TV, Fox premiered Rosewood starring Morris Chestnut as a Miami-based pathologist who helps solve crimes. This past summer, The Rock showcased Miami in a different light, debuting Ballers on HBO, which turned out to be HBO’s highest-rated comedy in six years. One of my personal Netflix favorites is Bloodline, a family drama filled with suspense that takes place just to the south in beautiful Islamorada. Meanwhile, Miami’s Pitbull and Jason Derulo dominate the radio waves, while Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio (not to mention The Donald, who owns multiple South Florida properties from Sunny Isles to Doral) duke it out for the Republican nomination.

On the food scene, we told you last month about Mandolin’s expansion into Istanbul, Turkey. Zuma found such success in Miami it recently expanded into NYC, while Faena, the global holistic hospitality sensation, chose Miami for their US launch. And, of course, next month brings the world’s most dynamic art fair—Art Basel in Miami Beach. Notice a trend here?

No matter where you are, what type of culture you’re after, who you’re voting for, where you’re eating, what you’re watching or listening to, or what the price per square footage is, you’re going to hear about Miami. It’s unavoidable. Everyone’s talking about it—and I’m guilty as charged. I love talking about Miami, and we are doing just that on an epic level in this issue of Ocean Drive—from hotshot chefs to power players and of course our cover star, Jennifer Lopez, who practically makes Miami her second home when she’s not owning the spotlight globally. In a town now bustling with film crews, sold-out concerts, red carpets, and billion-dollar developments, it’s no wonder “Jenny from the Block” has fit in to our beautiful scene for over two decades. From her former residence on North Bay Road to Casa Tua to BFF’s Loren Ridinger’s yacht, you never know when and where she’ll pop up; but for now, it’s the cover of Ocean Drive.

LETTER from the Publisher

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: With JC Carey celebrating Ocean Drive’s September Fall Fashion edition of “The List” at Hyatt Centric South Beach; with Jeff Soffer, Elle Macpherson, and Dan Riordan at the Turnberry Ocean Club preview of its Sunny Isles sales center; with Lana Bernstein and Adam Rosenfeld at a private in-store event hosted by Versace and Ocean Drive in celebration of the Men’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection.

Temperatures might be starting to drop (even if just slightly), but Miami is getting warmed up for another high season, and we couldn’t think of a better way of kicking things off in proper fashion than by having actress, singer, dancer, producer, fashion designer, and author (is there anything she can’t do?) Jennifer Lopez rocking our cover and—in our humble opinion—looking as good as ever as she prepares for the next phase of her impressive career: a Las Vegas concert residency.

Ocean Drive is flattered to be part of her portfolio, which includes covers of Self, Vanity Fair, and even Vogue. The American Idol judge formerly called North Bay Road home (her mansion there just sold for a whopping $33 million to Phil Collins), but that doesn’t mean J.Lo still doesn’t think of Miami as a second home.

This month is full of happenings, from our annual and much-anticipated Miami Dish event, showcasing and celebrating the city’s best dishes and top toques from our “Hotshot Chefs” feature, to the unofficial launch of gala season, the annual Best Buddies International Miami gala, on November 20, which we’re once again thrilled to support.

If that’s not enough to fill up your agenda, invites to Art Basel (just a few weeks away) and its plethora of surrounding and impossible-to-get-into events, fairs, and VIP soirées have already begun. Before you know it, it’ll be 2016.

Hope to see you around town…

...without whom this issue would not have been possible

Vanessa RogeRs Photographer Vanessa Rogers obtained her formal training at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and the School of Visual Arts.

With a portfolio that includes travel, lifestyle, food, and fashion, her work for local, regional, and national advertising agencies, magazines, and retailers has been published in Time, Porter, Shape, and Women’s Wear Daily, among numerous other publications. Rogers photographed Zac Courtney for this issue’s “Beach Patrol” and Claire Laverty for “New in Town.” “Beyond capturing the obvious aesthetics of the physical image, having a comfortable and authentic subject is the true secret to a timeless portrait,” says Rogers. “I’ve been fortunate to shoot in some of the most beautiful and interesting locations in Miami, like Golden Beach, Vizcaya, Opa-Locka City Hall, and the Biltmore. Billowing fabric and fashion from one rooftop to another from the highest, most elegant buildings in South Beach remains on my Miami photo shoot bucket list.”

...without whoM this issue would not have been possible Becky Randel writer

A Miami-based freelance writer and copywriter originally from chilly Connecticut, Becky Randel is a frequent contributor to People and people.com, W magazine, about.com, thedailymeal.com, and more. She is greatly outnumbered at home, where she lives with her husband, two young sons, and a male puggle. Randel profiles NewsLink’s leaders Raymond Kayal Jr. and Christopher Korge in this month’s issue. “I had no idea that flight schedules and gate locations have such an impact on their business,” says Randel of the NewsLink executives. “They know the daily schedules thoroughly and can point to exactly how the flight bookings affect sales.”

hunteR BRaithwaite journalist

Memphis-based writer Hunter Braithwaite was the founding editor of The Miami Rail, a quarterly publication devoted to contemporary art and culture.

During a hiatus from school, he began writing for National Geographic’s travel books department. He has since lived in Shanghai and Miami, where he freelanced for a variety of publications, including Modern Painters, where he’s a contributing editor. In this issue, he covers PAMM’s Nari Ward exhibition. “I think by presenting both internationally renowned artists and those who are either emerging or regionally important, it reflects how Miami is becoming the center of something fundamentally new,” says Braithwaite of the exhibit.

“As [Ward is] an artist both engaged in ‘art history’ and the everyday culture of the Caribbean, it was worth the wait to see this in Miami.”

Luxuriously Sparkling

MaRcelle SuSSMan FiSchleR real estate writer

Marcelle Sussman Fischler contributes a monthly “International House Hunting” column to The New York Times and has written extensively about real estate and lifestyles for forbes.com, Yahoo!, and more. In this issue of Ocean Drive, she spotlights the new Hyde Midtown Suites & Residences from luxury developer The Related Group. “The Hyde is setting itself apart from other new luxury developments with the inclusion of a hotel,” says the journalist.

“It’s an extra bonus for the buyers to have access to the amenities of a hotel. It helps The Related Group diversify their portfolio to be more than just condo developers.” /vossworld

Gucci’s new creative director, AlessAndro Michele, freshens up the iconic label while remaininG true to the heritaGe of the brand. by RACHEL FELDER Although he was only appointed creative director of Gucci earlier this year, Alessandro Michele is anything but a newcomer to the iconic luxury label. Working as part of the brand’s design team since 2002, Michele has an inherent understanding of Gucci’s delicate, covetable balance of heritage details, modern tailoring, opulent materials, and a healthy dose of self-assured sex appeal.

For his first collection, Michele created pieces with a vintage feel—flowy ’70s-inspired flowerpatterned dresses, silk blouses tied at the neck with an unstructured, slender bow—but with a continued on page 110

With Art Basel in Miami Beach coming up and the season of charity galas underway, there couldn’t be a more appropriate time for Gucci to offer dramatic diamond jewelry.

Like the brand’s clothing and leather goods, the pieces are luxurious but never ostentatious. Our favorites from the concise collection include:

Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, Hamish Bowles, and other fashion luminaries cheer Alessandro Michele during his Gucci Resort16 runway show.

FLOWER POWER

That natural confidence applies to the collection’s accessories as well, with fabulously Rat Pack–esque black flat loafers, sturdy thick belts, and boxy handbags with a hint of a Royal Tenenbaums–meets– Bianca Jagger vibe. Most are punctuated with exactly what you’d expect from this distinctive brand: bold trademark hardware, like chunky horsebits and oversize metal G’s, that looks as fresh now as it has for decades. OD

Pieces from Alessandro Michele’s first Cruise Collection for Gucci are, as you’d imagine, available at department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, but a few pieces are exclusives at the brand’s sleek boutique at the Bal Harbour Shops, including a selection of dresses adorned

with a vibrant print of bright flowers rooted (pun intended!) in the brand’s heritage, but used in a decidedly modern, spirited way.

With their classic, fluid silhouettes and breezy fabrics, these really are investment pieces, on trend but not trendy, and designed to look good for years to come.

For formal nights out, there’s a floor length, perfectly draped gown that promises a movie-star-caliber entrance. A flowing, strapless column of creamy ivory, it is punctuated at the waist by a simple ribbon belt with a single, delicate fabric flower attached.

On the opposite end of the spectrum— but equally eye-catching—is a set of separates in metallic brights with confident impact either worn together or apart, including a menswear-inspired teal button-down that can be dressed up or worn with jeans. Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-868-6504; gucci.com

Gucci Chiodo earrings in 18k white gold with diamonds ($13,950): crisp and sleek, these drop earrings—long graduated columns of round diamonds (314 in total) precisely-set in 18k white gold—have an art deco feel that accentuates their elegance.

Gucci Chiodo ring in 18k white gold with diamonds ($9,100): a single thick baton of perfectly aligned diamonds, this statement piece coils around the fnger and ever-so-slightly suggests a stack of separate bands. It’s somehow bold and understated at the same time, serving as the perfect counterpoint for a more assertive necklace or earrings.

sensibility that’s undeniably modern. Also included is a range of standout coats and neat trouser suits that are practical (particularly as extra-chic office wear) and ever-so-slightly androgynous without being excessively structured or serious. “I wanted to interpret an attitude, not a silhouette, through a perspective that blurs the masculine/feminine divide and champions the youthful energy and natural confidence of today’s urbanites,” Michele explains.

Gucci Chiodo necklace in 18k white gold with diamonds ($28,500): This graceful, fuid rope of 276 brilliant diamonds— nearly three carats worth—drapes in a particularly fattering way around the neck.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the faCe of Bulgari and gloBal glamour, talkS aBout why italian gardenS, the jeweler’S lateSt dazzling ColleCtion, haS SpeCial meaning for her. by catherine sabino

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy might have the most glamorous résumé on the planet: former supermodel and frst lady of France, best-selling rock star, and since 2013 the face of jet-set favorite Bulgari. “I love shooting pictures again,” Bruni-Sarkozy says as she wraps a day’s photography session for the Rome-based jeweler at a villa in the hills above Florence. “As a songwriter, you spend most of your time alone.”

Bruni-Sarkozy represents a most rarefed niche of modern celebrity (think Taylor Swift as an American presidential spouse for an idea of her unique fame), someone who has earned her superstar bona fdes in widely divergent arenas. While very much the modern woman juggling a megawatt career, high-profle spouse (rumored to have his eye on the Élysée

Palace again), and children, she comes across more as thoughtful artiste than boldfacer and is quick to express a distinct appreciation for the aesthetics of Europe’s lavish past. Bruni-Sarkozy once mused that if she could go back in time, it would be to Florence during the days of the Medici, which makes her third campaign for Bulgari, Italian Gardens, the name of the jewelry house’s latest Haute Joaillerie line, a particularly resonant one. “Gardens are one of the most beautiful things mankind has created,” she says, noting that many of her best childhood memories, growing up in Turin, are connected with them.

I should write it, don’t you think?” Miami Design District, 140 NE 39th St., 305-5766506; bulgari.com OD

TENDING THEIR GARDEN Lucia Silvestri, Bulgari’s creative director, talks about crafting the Italian Gardens collection: First inspiration: The Gardens of Ninfa (often referred to as “the most romantic gardens in the world”) near Rome.

Collection size: 100 pieces.

Showstopper: Blue Iridescence with 187 carats of large blue sapphires.

Multitasker: The sapphire and diamond Water Symphony can also become a brooch and bracelet.

Hardest gem to source at the premium level: “Rubies. We can fnd 20 diamonds that are internally fawless at 10 carats to every one ruby of that quality and weight.”

Big gems and high-tech: “With diamonds, there’s a lot of technology; with colored gems the sensibility and the experience of the owner or the cutter are very important.”

tion takes inspiration from Italy’s landscape splendor, specifcally the Renaissance garden conceits that infuenced horticultural style for centuries, says Lucia Silvestri, creative director for Bulgari.

Intricate parterre and swirling fowerbed patterns defne a pavé necklace, Sparkling Hearts; another masterpiece, Magical Refection, pays homage to the water artistry of the terraces at Villa Lante, a Mannerist garden in central Italy, with fawless pearshaped diamonds. Renaissance gardens had their special hideaways, where the most exquisite fowers bloomed, which prompted Bulgari to create Secret Garden, a gem bouquet necklace with rubellite, tanzanite, citrine, and other vivid stones.

For Bruni-Sarkozy jewelry has always been much more than a luxury item.

“It represents a world of feelings, wonderful memories, and a little nostalgia, too,” she says, recalling gifts given to her by her family and husband, as well as the care she took to fnd the right pieces for state occasions while frst lady of France. “Jewelry is always related to special moments in life.” As for her favorite gem, Bruni-Sarkozy says diplomatically that she likes both diamonds and colored

Next Stop: Fashion Miami has no shortage of chic charity galas, but Destination Fashion, a star-studded event that raises money for The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis, may well be the most spirited.

That’s due in part to the buoyant mother-daughter team that puts it together: Stephanie Sayfie Aagaard, who oversees events at The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis/The Buoniconti Fund, and her mother, Suzy Sayfie, the fund’s executive director and a leading local philanthropist. To get Miamians excited for this year’s fundraiser—scheduled for March 5, 2016, at the Bal

124 oceandrive.com

Harbour Shops—the duo will present a pre-event on November 12, designed to raise money for The Miami Project, one of the foremost institutions for spinal cord injury research, while honoring noteworthy women of the community.

What is Destination Fashion?

Stephanie Sayfie Aagaard: We transform the parking lot [at Bal Harbour Shops] into a fashion arena.

It’s a major fashion show by a name designer—we’ve had Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Emilio Pucci—and there’s also an incredible

concert, a dinner, and the stores donate one-of-a-kind auction items. It will be hosted by NBC News icon Tom Brokaw.

Suzy Sayfie: We do so many things for the men, too. We have the casino, we have a cigar bar—it’s unbelievable.

Nobody wants to go home.

The only way we can get them out is by shutting all the bars down!

How do you keep the charity component in guests’ minds?

SS: At the beginning of the evening, we show a video.

It’s so powerful because it shows exactly what we do here. It puts everybody in the

mood so they want to help.

SSA: They can meet the faces of paralysis—it’s important.

What’s happening on November 12?

SSA: November 12 is the kickoff for Destination Fashion. At Destination Fashion, we honor women of substance and style—ladies who have gone above and beyond to help their communities, not only [by raising] money for The Miami Project, but whatever their cause may be. We’re auctioning off a car that night. It’s kind of a sneak peek [into Destination Fashion].

The planning of these

events must be a massive undertaking.

SSA: [Laughing] We have no life. I told my husband that I’ll see him on March 6!

It’s a lot of work, but it’s all done with love because we know that all the funds are going back to The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis.

SS: We love working together. Stephanie’s the oldest of our daughters.

We work together every day, but on every event we do together, all of the girls volunteer. We’re a very close-knit, happy family. thebuonicontifund.com/ destinationfashion OD

In a world as interconnected as ours, it’s important to have a global perspective. The 9-to-5 business day is a thing of the past; today’s meetings and transactions often take place across multiple time zones, making a world-time watch a necessity. A complex instrument to produce, a world timer typically indicates the hour and minutes in all 24 of the globe’s major time zones, with some watches even marking the hour in regions where the local time may differ by mere minutes. Maps, city names, and lines of longitude remind stylish sojourners where in the world they are—and where they need to be.

After A smAsh-hit inAugurAl yeAr, Seed Food & Wine returns to miAmi to further elevAte the conversAtion on plAnt-bAsed living. by julia ford-carther

In October 2014, Alison Burgos and her partner, Michelle Gaber, pulled off a fabulous fête, namely Seed Food & Wine Festival, the country’s first plant-based gathering “elevating and celebrating conscious plant-based living,” which was received by the South Florida community with much fanfare. In a candid conversation with ocean drive, the cofounders discuss how they developed the concept, the positive impact it’s had on the community, and what’s on tap at this year’s festival, November 18–22.

How did the Seed Festival come about?

Michelle Gaber: We met eight years ago. [We] were together about seven months, and she got sick.

Alison Burgos: I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and it was aggressive. Medications didn’t control my inflammation. It was deteriorating parts of my body, especially my knee. And within four years, I had no use of my knee and was in a wheelchair.

MG: We put together a team of holistic healers, one of whom said, “You are going to be on a cleanse [of] only fruits and vegetables, and do acupuncture, and take herbs.”

AB: I went on a 90-day, all-raw, plant-based cleanse. I was skeptical, but the reality is, after those 90

CULTURE Hottest Ticket days, it was the first time in four years that I was in remission.

Mg: Ten days into the cleanse, [we] had tickets to the South Beach Wine & Food Festival’s Burger Bash. She couldn’t eat anything, but she loved seeing the chefs, and it was a great experience. We left, and I felt bad. I said, “You do events, why isn’t there something like this—chic and sexy, South Beach-y—[for a vegan community].” She sat on the idea for about a year. aB: I had been thinking, How could we pull it off? How could we create something that talked to everybody? Preaching to the choir doesn’t really move the needle. If you want to talk to people in Miami, you have to be hip and chic.

You have to be sexy.

Mg: You have to be inclusive. aB: We were happy to see the outcome of the first year. Half of our attendees don’t even identify as

vegan or vegetarian. They’re interested in becoming more conscious, eating healthier, or learning about juices, doing an edible garden, or meditation, or yoga. That, for both of us, was really powerful.

We are elevating the conversation in the community. That’s really our goal.

Why is Miami a great place for Seed? aB: Initially, some people were like, “You shouldn’t do that here; you should do that in LA.” What that means is there’s opportunity [here] to educate and inspire people to make these changes.

Mg: Together we all elevate each other. aB: There’s actually a really strong community here that’s building. There are eight new plantbased restaurants in Dade County alone this year.

Part of this conversation is that we have chefs who are not plant-based but respect farm-to-table and organics, and they get excited and start putting plant-based items on their menus.

What has your success with Seed meant for you personally? aB: This was, for me, about my health. We try to have this conversation about all three—health, the planet, and animals. But there’s no judgment. It’s just having the knowledge. Part of [my] journey was learning that you can live a really amazing, engaged life eating delicious, healthy food. So to be able to share this with people and inspire people to make one decision to feel greater, or to be conscious about what they put in their body, is what we’re trying to do with the festival.

culture Art Full Nari Ward’s Airplane Tears (2005), an innovative installation that speaks volumes with the backs of televisions and facial tissues.

Found objects transFormed into groundbreaking installations herald artist Nari Ward’s arrival at Pamm in the largest survey oF his career. by hunter braithwaite “There’s this old notion of being rooted as stability, but I’m trying to talk about another notion of stability: mobility.” Nari Ward is describing Land, his 16-foot-tall sculpture of a tree blooming with wheels. It’s the first thing you encounter in “Sun Splashed,” his upcoming exhibition at Pérez Art Museum Miami. “This tree dreams of movement.”

So does Ward. Born in Jamaica, he moved to Brooklyn, New York, at age 12 and now lives in a converted fire station in Harlem, making art that bounces between his Caribbean heritage and various art historical touchstones.

“Sun Splashed” is the largest exhibition of his work to date. Organized

by PAMM associate curator Diana Nawi, it features more than 70 pieces— including five major installations—in the museum’s two biggest galleries.

Ward moves easily between sculpture and installation, often using found objects like dominos, baseball bats, mango seeds, and television sets to create immersive environments. Throughout his work, the bittersweet nostalgia of exile is palpable, the feeling of being in two places at once. In this, he compares himself to Wifredo Lam, the Latin American modernist

who made waves on both sides of the Atlantic. Says Ward, “[Lam] was a European artist referencing the cultural history of Cuba, of the Caribbean, those myths and mythologies, those personal yearnings that he needed to speak to.”

The pivotal installation, Happy Smilers: Duty Free Shopping, hasn’t been seen publicly since 1996. “It’s a combination of these two vistas, the urban found-object component and the Caribbean memory, with the patina of invention,” says Ward, who adds that the work contains the sensations of home. “It’s there, we know it, we can feel and smell it, but we’ll never be able to access it again. [The piece is] a space to store that access.”

And since this massive installation has itself been in storage for almost two decades, you might think that reinstalling it would be a challenge. Nah. “When I went to the storage space, I could literally remember every single object,” Ward says. “It was like seeing an old friend.” “Sun Splashed” is on display from November 19 through February 21, 2016, at Pérez Art Museum Miami, 1103 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 305-375-3000; pamm.org OD

PEOPLE View from the Top “The university has a very strong upward momentum and desire to keep moving forward,” says Dr. Julio Frenk, seen here on the University of Miami campus.

Let’s Be Frenk

the University of MiaMi’s new president, Dr. Julio Fren , plans to take the school’s acadeMics global. by jon warech For new college students, the first day of their first semester is often greeted with a mix of barely contained excitement and profound anxiety. But at the University of Miami this fall, there was one newcomer whose enthusiasm for the orange and green was undiluted: the school’s new president, Dr. Julio Frenk.

The former dean of the faculty at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Frenk combines the dedication to excellence of a distinguished professional and the exuberance of an incoming freshman. “The arrival of the new students is very energizing to feel—young people, full of expectations,” he says. “I walked around the dorms as they were unpacking and I told them, ‘I’m doing the same exact thing in my house.’ The university has a very strong upward momentum and desire to keep moving forward, so all of that is very exciting for me.”

That drive to continue improving, the role he feels universities play in the 21st century, and the work done by his predecessor, Donna Shalala— whom he first met when he was working at the continued on page 152

Chan School of Public Health, awards the Centennial Medal to President Bill Clinton in 2013; Frenk speaking at a benefit for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

World Health Organization and she was US secretary of health and human services— all contributed to his desire to take the job. But for Frenk, who was born in Mexico and is the college’s first Hispanic president, there was also something special about the school’s location. “The fact that Miami is the gateway to the Americas gives us the opportunity to make the University of Miami the hemispheric university—the university that connects every part of our hemisphere and that connects the hemisphere with the rest of the world,” he says. “Since I myself have a connection with Latin America and the Caribbean, that was very appealing to me, and I’m sure that was one of the features that made me an attractive candidate.”

There are, of course, many other things that made Frenk the ideal choice. Prior to his time at Harvard, he served as

152 oceandrive.com

Mexico’s minister of health and reformed that nation’s healthcare system by expanding access to care for tens of millions of previously uninsured citizens. He was the founding directorgeneral of the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico, executive director in charge of evidence and information for policy at the World Health Organization, a senior fellow in the global health program of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the founding chair of the board of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

For all of his hard work in the health field, Frenk has received many accolades, including the Clinton Global Citizen Award. “There’s a connection between those jobs, which is that knowledge is the most powerful instrument we have for enlightened social transformation,” he

says. “Sometimes I’ve been on the side of producing that knowledge through doing research and education, and sometimes I’ve been on the side of applying that knowledge through policymaking positions.”

Like any good student, Frenk says he plans to spend his first 100 days mostly listening. So far he’s heard what he calls “four big aspirations”: a call to boost the University of Miami’s ranking on U.S. News & World Report’s list of the best national universities (it’s currently 51st), a desire to “serve as a model for values and behaviors,” a need to strengthen the school’s engagement with issues in the local community, and the aforementioned goal of becoming the “hemispheric university.”

“We have about 10 years to build a road map to realize these aspirations as we think about the new century of the University of

Miami,” says Frenk, who adds that fundraising is crucial to achieving those goals by the time the school celebrates its centennial in 2025. “Resources are the key to attracting talent, and talent is the key. Universities are a people business. Bright faculty and admired researchers attract great students, and competent staff enables the work. It’s all about people.

“I’m very excited,” Frenk continues. “I think we are at the threshold of a revolution in education, and I think we’re seeing the biggest innovations since the invention of the printing press. This university, I’m hoping, will be a leader in applying some of the new technologies that are revolutionizing learning.” OD

Cheers to U! Academics always come first, but on Saturday, the University of Miami is all about football.

The new big man on campus, Dr. Julio Frenk was quick to get acquainted with the Miami Hurricanes football team. In his frst couple of weeks, he met the coaches and players at practice and was named an honorary captain at his frst Canes game. “I see athletics as an integral part of a comprehensive university experience,” Frenk says.

“It has all of that value: the comprehensive development of people, the promotion of healthy behaviors, the development of teamwork, the development of the fans, and the promotion of a sense of community.”

That community will be out in full force at the team’s next home games, against Virginia (November 7) and Georgia Tech (November 21). hurricanesports.com

With three generations in the Watch industry as the backdrop, Eyal lalo is leading his family’s brand—invicta Watch group—into the future. by matt stewart The Lalo family reignited Invicta in 1991, and since then, they have positioned themselves as both the face and the spirit of the storied watch brand.

Current president Eyal Lalo embraces his family’s legacy in the industry to further carry Invicta into the future while continuing to grow the company from its South Florida headquarters. Here, Lalo shares his watchmaking heritage, Miami’s influence, and what’s in store for 2016.

Talk about your background and that of your company.

I was born into a family that has been dedicated to the watch industry for three generations. Throughout

154 oceandrive.com

my life and career, I’ve seen a lot of different areas of the watch business, especially identifying where other brands are lacking and learning from that. My family was mainly involved in distribution, but we had a lot of interest in developing and manufacturing, so I set out to build our own brand.

What led you to take over Invicta?

Invicta is a very old brand, having been established in 1837. In the 1970s, many brands started going dormant or disappearing during “The Quartz Revolution,” where Swiss mechanical watches were no longer wanted. Because of that, we were able to reactivate Invicta in the early ’90s. It was particularly interesting to me because my grandfather had a connection to the brand due to his work as one of the agents and distributors of Invicta in Latin America.

How does South Florida influence the design of your timepieces?

Invicta has a [strong] connection to the water, and a lot of our designs are themed by the ocean. Technomarine, a brand we acquired earlier this year, has a similarly strong connection to the water and to the world of Invicta, which made it an obvious addition to the collection.

What are some of the good works that are coming out of your family’s charity, the Invicta Care Foundation?

Most of our work focuses on children in need and establishing health initiatives for people of all ages. As an example, we have some centers in Ecuador that are helping build and supply schools and healthcare facilities. [Additionally] we do a lot of work in Haiti. Their proximity to Miami and incredible need has moved us to help.

Can you share any sneak peeks for 2016 timepieces?

We will be launching several key initiatives: the Subaqua VI, which is probably the most complicated watch we’ve ever built; expanding our Bolt Zeus line, which is getting a new execution; and [the] recently launched Time Universe, which is an analog Swissmade five-time-zone masterpiece. It is available now, but a new generation will be launching later in 2016.

The expansion of the Technomarine line is a big project as well, [and] we are paying particular attention to bringing up the product design and quality of the pieces [while] increasing customer relationships to give the brand a renewal. 1455 NW 107th Ave., Miami, 305-592-0220; invictawatch.com OD

Says Hsu of Moss, “She’s so cool and badass.”

Straight a

Florida–born model and University oF miami stUdent ailey Hsu brings beaUty and brains to next model management.

“I fall into that category of ‘ethnically ambiguous,’” says 21-year-old model Kailey Hsu, whose Chinese and Hungarian heritage is helping her establish a niche in the fashion industry, including major shoots for Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam and Elle Mexico. “Sometimes they think I’m Indian, sometimes they think I’m Hawaiian. A lot of people don’t know what to think but just know my look is different.”

Hsu’s career has taken off quickly—this past September, she walked for Givenchy at New York’s Fashion Week. “I’m not very fashion savvy, but I know that was a big deal,” says Hsu, whose uncle—a former model turned photographer—took the photos that got her signed to Next Model Management Miami. “I see girls like Gigi Hadid backstage at shows and my mouth drops open.”

Off the runway, Hsu is a student at the University of Miami—originally pre-law before switching to criminology and media management, “to learn more about US government regulation and US law and help others where it is deserved.” According to the South Florida native—a former North Broward Preparatory School student—she’s always been a bit of a brainiac, a straight-A student who didn’t quite recognize her outer beauty. “In Florida our perception of beauty is different,” she says.

“People used to call me Yao Ming when I was younger because I had a growth spurt and was very tall very early on. I’m 5-foot-11 now. Luckily traveling the world has shown me that beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes.”

While Hsu has a boyfriend, love and everything else outside of school and modeling can wait. “You need to be passionate about your career or what you are studying,” she says. “But when you are 18 years old, it is way too young to know what you want to do for the rest of your life. I’m interested in everything, and I think my life is going to go a different direction each week.”

For now, Hsu is keeping her attention on maintaining the straight and narrow. “I just want to make my parents proud, be successful, be a good role model for my younger siblings, and become the best version of myself possible,” she says. “And I want to make a footprint in the industry. There’s a long-lasting stigma of following what’s trending at the moment, and the truth of the matter is I don’t get sucked into it. I’m just being [myself].” OD

JOINING THE MASSES MOVING TO MIAMI, UK-BORN CLARE LAVERTY LEADS THE CHARGE IN PROMOTING SWIRE PROPERTIES’ BRICKELL CITY CENTRE. BY JON WARECH

MY MIAMI Clare Laverty settles into South Florida life.

Where do you work out?

“I’m completely addicted to Barry’s Bootcamp (1835 Purdy Ave., Miami Beach, 786-8881699; barrysbootcamp.com), and I’m going, like, four or five mornings a week at 6 AM. I think it’s brilliant.”

Where can we find you at night? “I like Mignonette (210 NE 18th St., Miami, 305-3744635; mignonettemiami.com).

There’s no pretension to it. It’s got a cool vibe.”

Clare Laverty, seen on the roof of the hotel EAST, is helping to bring the upscale urban lifestyle to Miami.

After eight years in Hong Kong working for Swire Properties, Clare Laverty was asked to relocate to Miami to serve as the firm’s assistant vice president of marketing and public relations.

Her reaction? “Excitement,” says Laverty, who was born in England and will oversee marketing for Brickell City Centre and the hotel EAST. “I’ve lived in London and Hong Kong—big, urban cities, which I’ve absolutely loved—but I’ve always had a real pull towards the ocean. The thought of being in sunshine with lots of fresh air and living on the beach was hugely appealing.”

Nowadays, it seems, few would disagree, as Laverty joins the mass of people moving to South Florida for a better quality of life. Equally appealing to her is her new job, which involves bringing more of that coveted urban lifestyle to our city. Swire first broke ground in Miami in 1979, when it developed Brickell Key, but with the $1.05 billion Brickell City Centre, the developer is taking Miami to new heights by creating the kind of mixed-use office, residential, hotel, retail, and entertainment property that has flourished in China.

“There are so many unique aspects that as a marketer, it’s a bit of a dream project,” says Laverty, who notes that Miami’s growing public transportation system and evolving metropolitan development make the city ripe for this concept. “[Swire] creates these hubs where people live and work and play, and that’s not been done here. It’s a model that is working, and I think Miami is an incredibly international city, so there’s no reason why it shouldn’t have the same.”

One of Laverty’s favorite things about Miami is the citywide enthusiasm for growth. “I feel a much stronger change in development here than I anticipated,” she says, “and this inherent optimism in the air from everyone about Miami and how Miami is evolving—that’s been a welcome surprise.”

In the two months she has lived in Miami Beach (her belongings are still en route from China), Laverty has already enjoyed visiting Pérez Art Museum Miami and become addicted to Panther Coffee, and she soaks in everything that Brickell, Downtown, Wynwood, and other neighborhoods have to offer. She favors runs on the beach and is looking forward to bringing her parents over from England to escape the winter. And she’s also discovering how to just go with the flow.

“I’ve learned in the last few years not to make plans,” Laverty says. “I think life laughs at plans.” Spoken like a true Miamian. OD

While the national unemployment rate hovers around five to seven percent, that number is closer to 85 percent for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). But that’s one statistic Best Buddies International is aiming to change. “We really feel [employment] is the last great frontier for our population and where we need improvement,” founder and chairman Anthony K. Shriver says of Best Buddies, which hosts its annual Miami gala on November 20.

“We have a competitive white-collar-jobs program and are working hard to develop internship programs in high schools for [people with IDD].”

The organization, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, sponsors practices to help “Buddies” find employment, encourages companies to hire people with IDD, and hosts friendship and mentoring programs as well as leadership training. Best Buddies operates programs at 2,000 schools globally, affecting more than 900,000 people with and without IDD; the philanthropy’s work with schools will also be spotlighted at the Miami gala. “I’m with a lot of our student volunteers, and I think young people are desperately looking for something bigger, more important than the dollar,” says Shriver. “People with intellectual disabilities can center your life in a really profound way and teach you an enormous amount about yourself, teach you about patience, compassion,

162 oceandrive.com

and the joys of daily life.”

That idea is inspiring Best Buddies’s latest development: Sarge’s Place. The organization’s first-ever housing project, named for Shriver’s father, Sargent Shriver, is to be built in Miami Beach in collaboration with St. Patrick’s Church.

“It’s got opportunities for people to volunteer, sort of replicating a lot of the principles and values that I grew up with in my house,” says Shriver, whose mom, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founded the Special Olympics. “We hope that Sarge’s Place will be a first step for us in creating opportunities for unique, special housing that’s faith-based and supportive and a loving environment for both people with intellectual disabilities and nondisabled people.”

This month, the community can support Best Buddies through the upcoming gala, which kicks off with the Best Buddies Challenge, a 100k bike ride, and culminates with the White Mass the day after. “Everything we do we have the Buddies participate and show their skill sets, whether it’s at a 100-mile ride, or a gala, or a reading at the White Mass,” says Shriver. “We want people to understand that this population is there, they’re capable, they want to feel loved and counted just like you and I do, and when you include them, you feel so much better.” Best Buddies’ Miami gala takes place November 20; visit bestbuddies.org for details.

Fish Tale

Amid An oceAn of mAgic city seAfood restAurAnts, Lure Fishbar hAs stAying power longer thAn A new york minute. by carla torres It’s a Friday night at Lure Fishbar, and the maritime dining room is flooded with raw and sushi platters brimming with catch from half of the world’s seven seas. Men sporting Tommy Bahama shirts and boat shoes slurp kusshi oysters dressed in jalapeño ponzu while a group of bachelorettes (tiaras and all) toast to happily ever after by clinking skull-shaped ceramic glasses, inside of which is a deadly cocktail dubbed the Tug Boat mixed by spirits virtuoso Rob Ferrara and containing 140 percent proof rum. Just two years in and the Miami outpost of Josh Capon’s Manhattan flagship has already become a seafood haven for locals and tourists alike, proof that if you can make it in New York for a decade, you can absolutely make it anywhere, especially in South Beach.

Steering the kitchen is Executive Chef John Iatrellis, a Miami native of Greek descent whose last decade was spent at The Forge, where he cooked his way up the culinary ladder, from line cook to executive sous chef, before jumping ship for Lure. “It was definitely a challenge to leave The Forge,” says the self-trained chef. But who needs culinary training when you’ve been second in charge at the city’s most iconic steakhouse and now head honcho at one of the freshest fisheries in town?

At Lure, Capon and Iatrellis share the same simple approach: “to let proteins speak for themselves, and don’t mask or hide your food.” Less is indeed more here, as best evidenced by and tasted in the nigiri and sashimi, flown in daily from the Pacific Coast and pristinely dressed. Think

torched salmon belly lacquered with togarashi and a dash of sea salt, king crab slathered in lime mustard sauce, or big-eye tuna spiked with kisame wasabi.

But first, every meal at Lure begins with biscuits, which have scallion and cheddar baked right into them. “It’s the one thing I can’t help but eat daily,” admits Iatrellis. “That and at least one piece of sashimi.”

(The salmon belly is his favorite.)

Of course when your entire day is spent handling fish, you’re bound to not just have a taste but some serious tricks up your sleeve. “How you treat fish, or any food down to your carrots, is extremely important,” says Iatrellis. “From the way you grab it in the walk-in and the way you season it on the cutting board to the way you place it on the sauté pan and pick it up and transfer it onto

“How you treat fisH is extremely important. you Have to Have a very delicate approacH.” —john iatrellis

the plate, you have to have a very delicate approach.”

Perhaps the biggest delicacy here isn’t the bucatini with butter-poached lobster and lobster uni crema or the filet mignon and lobster surf and turf, as one might gather from reading the menu alone, but rather the grilled whole dorade, which, besides speaking to Iatrellis’s Mediterranean background, gets a Miami treatment. “One thing we do here that they don’t do in New York is we give guests the topper option,” says the chef. By that, he means stuffing the briny sea animal

with four ounces of Alaskan king crab, done Oscar style (with shaved asparagus and a béarnaise sauce), or Maine lobster sautéed with shallots and lemon zest. “It really gives guests the option to intensify the fish with their other favorite crustaceans and shellfish.”

Sure, there are plenty more seafood restaurants in Miami, but none are running as tight a ship as Lure and, more importantly, are doing it with a whale of a good time. Just ask the bachelorettes. Loews Miami Beach Hotel, 1601 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305695-4550; lurefishbar.com OD

The answer to Captain Jack Sparrow’s famous tagline can be found at The Rum Line at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel: a Key West- and Hemingway-inspired bungalow overfowing with 150 types of rum where you’ll be able to drink tiki cocktails and classic daiquiris like a fsh, if a fsh were to drink such things. Take a swig of the Rum Line piña colada (hand shaken and fnished with coconut cream and Tiki Bitters).

downtown’s covert watering hole, Libertine, is as deliberately spirited as its surroundings. by galena mosovich Music aficionados and cocktail connoisseurs in the know trek to Libertine, a speakeasy in the 24-hour entertainment district, for a taste of Miami’s underground. Prohibition-era bevvies and eclectic tunes, from Depeche Mode and Blondie to Holy Ghost! and Groove Armada, keep guests here until the wee hours. Dark and sexy, this mysterious candlelit lounge is styled like a scene from Interview with the Vampire: Subway tiles, 150-year-old mirrors, and antique apothecary vessels line the walls, harmonizing nicely with the 18th-century white marble fireplace. The trompe l’oeil floor offers the trippy illusion of thousands of pennies sorted by finish. The cocktail of choice? The Libertine, of course, a variation on the bar’s signature Manhattanesque cocktail that’s at once grungy and glamorous. Here, a peek behind the pour....

Raging Bulleit

Honey Do The Bulleit imparts a smooth, sippable blend of oak with vanilla, honey, and spice. The smokiness from the charred oak barrels in which it’s aged continues to smolder even after the herbaceous sweet vermouth and the ethereal elderflower liqueur are added to the mix. (It takes a strong base spirit like rye to stand up to sweetness!) The Cognac—a very misunderstood liquor—liberates a beautiful layer of aromatic excellence, which reminds connoisseurs of New Orleans’s Vieux Carré cocktail.

all she has Before embarking on an ambitious and career-defining Las Vegas residency, Jennifer Lopez brings the heat back to Miami for a one-night-only concert.

by MARK ELLWOOD

J

ennifer Lopez is deep in the auditioning process for her new Las Vegas residency, All I Have.

She’s whittling down hundreds of hopefuls keen to join the dance troupe, and when it comes to assessing them, Lopez is a no-nonsense critic. “I started as a dancer, so I have an eye for it. I’ve done it my whole life,” she shrugs.

Before her breakout turn as a booty-shaking Fly Girl on In Living Color, Lopez was a backup dancer in Janet Jackson videos and for New Kids on the Block at the 1991 American Music Awards (this year, she returned to the same show, albeit as the headlining host). Such experience has given Lopez a pro’s perspective on those rooms full of hopefuls. “Sometimes other people—the music department or my management—might like a person, but I’m, like, ‘Oh, they’re a little bit weak in this part; there’s not enough technique.’” One person who has already made the cut: 19-year old Miami native Gaby Diaz, whose prize package for winning the most recent season of So You Think You Can Dance included a few dates as part of Lopez’s troupe.

Hopefully, Diaz is diligently practicing her pliés, if choreographer Phil Black, Lopez’s onetime dance teacher, is right. Black also schooled Madonna and John Travolta, but he said proudly that then–budding star Lopez was a more memorable pupil than either the Material Girl or Tony Manero. Lopez, he explained, worked harder than anyone in a very competitive environment. She chuckles at the mention of her former mentor. “It’s always been my approach to performing, to work, to everything I do in life: I give it all I have,” she says. “That’s why it’s the name of my show.”

Jen (her team never calls her J.Lo) is the latest pop diva to take up residency in Las Vegas: An initial batch of 20 shows begins on January 20, 2016, at Planet Hollywood’s Axis Theater, and the stint runs through early summer. Britney Spears and Mariah Carey were the most recent A-listers to headline in Vegas, but the spectacle that Lopez is planning is likely to eclipse even those megastars. “I want it to be a high-energy, Bronx kind of block party,” she says, her New York twang still intact. “The most exciting shows make you dance, and scream, and jump up and down. I want people to really let loose.” She expects her eventual onstage team to have more than just impressive footwork. “They’re bringing

196 oceandrive.com

the story to life,” Lopez says, “so they’re an integral part of the show, acting a little bit, even.”

Before she decamps to Vegas, though, Lopez will headline right here in Miami alongside Pitbull and Prince Royce for iHeartRadio’s Fiesta Latina concert at the AmericanAirlines Arena on November 7. Filming the noir thriller Blood and Wine with Jack Nicholson 20 years ago first brought Lopez to Miami Beach; she was so smitten, she bought a house on the celebrity strip of North Bay Road, where she lived for several years flanked by the homes of the surviving members of the Bee Gees. The ’80s rocker Phil Collins now owns the home. “I’ve always loved Miami,” she raves. “I love anywhere tropical, that feeling of being by the ocean.”

Work brings Lopez back often. In 2014, aboard a yacht in South Beach (naturally), she filmed a sexy dance music video for the official World Cup song, “We Are One (Ole Ola).” She used the surrounding time to vacation with her kids, twins Emme and Max. Her fondest memories of her time in Miami were the chance to hole

“There’s a heaT To The ciTy. i like ThaT feeling in MiaMi.”

up with friends and family in that palatial home; now, though, she has one favorite spot she’ll always visit on every trip: “I love Casa Tua, but the paparazzi are always there waiting for you as you go out or in,” she explains. “I do have a very close girlfriend who lives down here; she’s an artist, and she always takes me out to little places by the water.”

Miami’s style resonates with Lopez’s Latina roots, too—earlier this year, she was spotted shopping in the Design District, at Christian Louboutin and local boutique Trend by Sebastien James: “It’s always summer down here; so sexy, there’s a heat to the city. I like that feeling in Miami.”

She’ll definitely channel some of that heat into her costumes for All I Have. Wardrobe for any show would be an obsession for someone who has an entire drawer at home devoted to yellow diamonds and has said her “favorite thing to do” is flipping through fashion magazines and marking up the pages that have outfits she wants to try. To create a Vegas-ready closet, Lopez is working with her longtime secret weapon, styling team Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, and calling on the same roster of designers that has kept her red carpet–ready over the past few years: Balmain, Zuhair Murad and, of course, Versace. It was Donatella Versace who gave Lopez her first global pop-culture moment: the unforgettable slash-fronted, green palm-print dress the performer wore to the 2000 Grammys as the date of her then-boyfriend, Diddy. Lopez still has that dress hanging pretty at home, but she says it won’t make an appearance during her Vegas shows. “Oh, I still have it, but we’re going to do all kinds of new stuff,” she says. “I redid the Versace dress for my Bronx homecoming show [in 2014], so I don’t think I’ll repeat myself.”

Planning her new costumes, though, is clearly one of her favorite parts of prepping for the Vegas residency. “It’s like a fantasy,” she coos.

“When you think of Diana Ross, Cher, or Barbra Streisand, it’s their costumes that became their signature.” Indeed, Lopez has cited Streisand as an icon before, calling her “classic, timeless” and acknowledging that she would gladly model her career on the Oscar winner’s. Will she channel Babs in Vegas—maybe a head wrap, or two?

Lopez takes a deep breath, then exhales: “Oh, I’m just looking to do the best Jennifer Lopez show anyone has ever seen.”

She does admit to drawing inspiration from the Rat Pack, though. Her Vegas residency, she says, harks back to the days of Sammy, Frank,

and Dean: “It’s a much more intimate experience, and it’s about real performers—and not everybody can really do that.”

There are challenges, though, to performing like that in Sin City, where the dry desert air, combined with ubiquitous air-conditioning, can be punishing on a singer’s vocal cords.

“Oh, I’ve run into that trouble in Vegas before,” Lopez says, wryly. “It’s super dry, so you have to take care of yourself and have tons of humidifiers.” As long as Jennifer’s voice holds, she promises to perform the songs fans expect, although she’s planning to keep the set list fluid, adding fan-favorite album cuts or songs she’s long loved herself. “I want the show to be always changing, so it’s a unique experience every time—one night a Selena song, and another maybe something by Diana Ross.” She plans to take inspiration, too, from whatever she’s humming in her kitchen at home; right now, that’s ballads by Sam Smith: “That song ‘Lay Me Down’? I really, really love it.”

Before she can focus full-time on the set, the set list, and all those sexy costumes for All I Have, Lopez has both the Fiesta Latina show and a few more weeks of shooting for her first TV drama series, Shades of Blue. Lopez plays a single mom who works as an FBI agent in New York City and struggles with the morals of her job. “It’s set in the world of cops, but it’s really about human nature—how we’re always riding a line of what’s right and what’s wrong, that slippery slope,” she explains. Once she finishes shooting, she’ll dedicate herself to prepping for her Vegas extravaganza.

Lopez will, doubtlessly, be scoping out the competition, though she has already seen “Britney, Shania [Twain], Celine [Dion], and all the Cirque [de Soleil] shows,” and she’ll relish the opportunity to indulge at the luxury malls.

Lopez doesn’t drink, and has said she has long left behind the late-night partying for which she was known during her Diddy-and-Versace era.

Gambling isn’t a passion, either, though her Vegas stint will be especially appealing to one member of the family, her retired-schoolteacher mom, Guadalupe, who relishes the slots in Atlantic City, New Jersey. “Even if she weren’t [a fan of gambling], she would still come and see me,” Lopez says, laughing, before pausing and adding, “Well, I like to think.” The rest of us will be right beside Guadalupe. iHeart Radio Fiesta Latina takes place November 7 at AmericanAirlines Arena; visit ticketmaster.com.

ARCHITECTS, DESIGNERS, ARTISANS, AND DEVELOPERS USHER IN A NEW WAVE OF ECO-FRIENDLY STYLE IN MIAMI’S LATEST LUXURY CONDOS AND HOMES.

by JEAN NAYAR photography by JEFF CRAWFORD

ANYONE WHO VALUES FARM-TO-TABLE FOOD OR DRIVES A TESLA is just as likely to appreciate organic cotton sheets, energy-efficient refrigerators, and houses made of reclaimed timber or local stone. But the complexities of sustainable design can make building or furnishing an ecofriendly home sufficiently mind-numbing to deter even the most avid environmentalist from taking on the task. Yet if a handful of new developments in South Florida are any indication, green design promises to become an integral part of a new generation of condominiums and single-family homes, making eco-conscious living the next wave in an ever-expanding green revolution seeping into every aspect of our lives.

And why not? Situated as close as they are to coastal waters, residents of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and other South Florida communities are especially attuned to the challenges that rising sea levels bring. So taking steps to live in ways that reduce carbon footprints and limit impact on the environment makes good sense. Whether the impetus for the movement comes from the grassroots up or the top down, an emphasis on environmentally conscious design is not only eminently practical, but—with a growing band of artists, furniture designers, and architects producing green products and residences—it’s becoming de rigueur among the style set, too. And thanks to higher standards in manufacturing techniques and stricter governmental regulations on everything from emissions to energy efficiency to water conservation, cultivating an eco-friendly home has also never been easier.

Among those spearheading current efforts to design sustainable residen-

tial projects in South Florida is Miami-based international architect Chad Oppenheim, whose firm is designing not just sustainable buildings but a whole new sustainable community called Metropica in Sunrise, where he says the nearby Sawgrass Mills mall attracts more people than the entire city of Rio de Janeiro each year. “Since it ranks as one of the top places in visitation in the world, the developer saw an opportunity to create an urban center that would feed off the activity of the mall and provide people with a nearby place to live, work, and play,” says Oppenheim. “The core idea of our project was to create an incredible natural oasis, like Central Park [in New York], lined with buildings and interactive sculptural components and play areas to fill the missing gap of accessible gardens and parks in this area.”

Metropica’s ultra-energy-efficient structures were also designed to include other eco-friendly features, such as a gray-water recycling system, a rain water collection tank for irrigation, and deep terraces and trellis systems to encourage residents to cultivate their own gardens. “Creating density here in a community that allows you to go to the office or go grocery shopping without getting into a car allows for the same kind of carbon offset you’d find in urban areas,” says the architect, who is also collaborating with local developer Jacob Abramson of Golden Properties in Miami to create a collection of environmentally conscious single-family luxury homes in Golden Beach.

“A home should only be described as a luxury home if it entails green aspects as standard,” says Abramson, who is incorporating elements like

solar roof tiles, heat-resistant paint, and water purification systems in his ultra-high-end homes and regularly attends green building workshops with his team to stay ahead of the sustainable building curve.

Residential projects like these and others, such as the recently completed 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach or the Oceana condominium now under construction in Bal Harbour, merge high-minded sustainable design ideas with high style, making green dwellings as easy on the eye as they are on the planet. They also make green living easier to embrace by ordinary people, who may be able to whip up an organic quiche by themselves but generally must rely on the help of experts to create eco-minded homes or interiors.

“Some eco-friendly buildings can feel cold, but we wanted to really bring the sustainable design to life with spaces that would make you live, breathe, and feel nature the minute you walk in the door,” says Liubasha Rose, vice president of design for Starwood Capital Group, developer of 1 Hotel & Homes. “Instead of slick, typical high-end Miami interiors, we wanted the property to feel very ‘beach house,’ with oyster shell and sand tones, but at the same time, in trying to nail the vibe, we didn’t want it to look too rustic.”

Working with the New York City –based Meyer Davis Studio, Starwood crafted artful compositions in public spaces with natural materials like reclaimed Javanese teak root, bleached walnut, mushroom wood, and spalted maple to form layered backdrops for low-slung linen-covered sofas, leather sling chairs, and driftwood side tables, creating an atmosphere that blends the Zen refinement of a Japanese tea house with a relaxed, beachy air. The furniture-and-finishes package for the interiors of the residences here—designed by Brazilian designer Debora Aguiar—extend the dreamy, natureinfused spirit of the public spaces with wool sisal-look rugs, rough-hewn white oak or wood-grained porcelain tile f loors, reclaimed wood tables, and sofas and chairs—some from Artefacto—upholstered in cotton and linen.

In addition to tactile materials and inspired furnishings, new eco-conscious dwellings also often include thoughtful landscape features that reinforce the con-

nection with nature. “We are embracing a native landscape by Enzo Enea that is accustomed to growing in the South Florida heat and uses 75 percent less water for irrigation than other types of plants,” says Marcos Corti, CEO of Consultatio, the developer working with the Miami-based international architecture firm Arquitectonica on the exceptionally beautiful architecture of the Oceana Bal Harbour condominium and with Italian architect Piero Lissoni on its interiors. “The low-e glass wrapping the building not only limits heat transmission inside but also buffers sound while bringing in ocean views and reinforcing the sense you’re living with Mother Nature.”

Just as ready-made eco-friendly residences take the heavy lifting out of creating a sustainable home for the consumer, enhanced manufacturing standards now make decorating them with sustainable furniture and finishes simpler, too. “Going green is easier now because over the years, society, the government entities that look to protect us, and manufacturers are getting better at it,” says Michael Wolk, an industrial and interior designer with Wolk Design in Wynwood. “Products and appliances are becoming more eco-friendly not so much from demand but to meet stricter government standards. So today when you go to the store, you’ll get an energy-efficient refrigerator not because you’re a founder of Earth Day, but because that’s where the industry has gone.”

“There’s a big emphasis among smaller hands-on makers to make interesting products using repurposed industrial or cast-off elements,” says Nisi Berryman, a designer and owner of Niba Home, a fine-furnishings boutique in the Design District. Berryman represents eco-friendly product designers and makers like Remains Lighting, which produces fixtures in a LEED-certified facility in Brooklyn, and Luis Pons, a local designer who makes mirrored glass pieces for Berryman in Miami. The icing on the cake of the green design trend, consciously curated furnishings and objects like these also make it easier than ever to go green in style. Says Berryman, “These kinds of products not only invigorate the community, but really resonate with our clients.” OD

Hotshot Chefs PHOTOGRAPHY BY GARY JAmes

The grilled duck breast (from Maple Leaf Farms) with charred and raw cucumber, black garlic, and sesame at Eating House is a revelation.

Green Thumb From truffe carbonara to pancakes to duck breast and veggies, GiorGio rapicavoli turns anything he touches into edible gold. by carla torres

Most 10-year-old kids spend their free time playing video games—not Giorgio Rapicavoli. Back then, the Miamian of Argentine and Italian descent would toy with kitchen knives and make gnocchi from scratch with his mom. His frst e-mail address was “CHFBOYRDE8.”

“Even then I knew I wanted to be a chef,” says Rapicavoli. But what he didn’t know at the time was that he was destined for fame. The frst Magic City chef to win chopped, Rapicavoli banked on his success (and the $10,000 prize) to open Eating House, a six-month pop-up that has turned into a permanent Coral Gables mainstay.

From the get-go, gourmands went nuts over Rapicavoli’s rich, inventive fare (think truffe carbonara and chicken and waffes)—and they still can’t get enough. Neither can the networks. During this interview, Rapicavoli received a phone call from Food Network to flm his famed Cap’n Crunch pancakes for a new show—which will mark the dish’s third appearance on that channel alone. Beyond the small screen, the unstoppable chef is looking forward to a greener future and to the premiere of his next venture: Glass & Vine.

How has Eating House evolved since its pop-up days? The menu is a lot lighter. I’ve tried to fnd simplicity in dishes without compromising favor.

You learn over time that fancy herbs are really expensive, so we’ve concentrated the favor profles of the food itself.

The plating style has also changed, and 75 percent of the menu is vegetarian.

After Chopped, you were offered many jobs in established New York restaurants. Why stay in Miami?

I love Miami. This is my city, and I’d rather be part of the change in the food scene here and feed my friends and family. We’ve been open three and half years now, which is a long time for a small restaurant, and we’re proud to say that we did it without any partners, any investors, but by adapting and making due with what we had.

Your Cap’n Crunch pancakes took

the breakfast world by storm.

How did you even think of that? Cap’n Crunch was my favorite childhood cereal and the original plan was supposed to be cereal pancakes and rotate them out weekly, but after the frst try we didn’t think it could get any better, so they stuck.

Your next project, Glass & Vine, is due to open soon.

What can you tell us about it?

Be ready to see a lot, lot, lot of vegetables.

Duck is also a standout on your menu; do you remember your frst time eating it? The frst memorable duck I had was at Tropical Chinese when I was a kid. That Peking duck is still ridiculous.

Why duck over other proteins?

It’s a lot more favorful than traditional poultry. Normally, it’s cooked in a pan, but we grill the duck, which isn’t too traditional, so it gets the smoky favor and a golden brown kind of color. The texture also ends up being different—like a top-to-bottom medium rare as opposed to warm-cooked.

What is the secret to cooking duck perfectly? My sous chef, Adriana Egozcue, but you can call her “Lip.” 804 ponce de leon Blvd., coral Gables, 305-448-6524; eatinghousemiami.com oceandrive.com 213

On the BarBie From a sunburned country to a sunburned county, Australian import AAron Brooks brings the heat to EdgE stEAk & BAr. by david rosendorf

For a chef who now seems like a local fxture (he recently hit his four-year Miami anniversary), Aaron Brooks sure traveled a long way to get here. The Australian native left home to work in British Columbia before making his way east to Boston, then south to open Edge Steak & Bar in the Four Seasons Hotel in Brickell. Despite being hidden on the seventh foor of the tallest building on Miami’s skyline, Edge is a popular locals’ hangout, partly because the restaurant serves great steaks and also because it showcases some serious old-school technique, like with its inhouse charcuterie and the bright, fresh favors of its local produce. But it’s also because Brooks might be one of the friendliest guys in the business.

Had you spent any time in Miami before arriving here? Never. I’d only been living in the States for about fve years and there was this great job in Miami. I really wanted to go, but I didn’t know anything about Miami other than CsI. I started doing research, and the food reminded me—other than the Latin infuence—a lot of home.

So when I came down here, with the climate, it threw me back to home.

They wanted to do a steakhouse, and I said, “Fantastic!” because [steak is] what I grew up cooking.

What has changed in the Miami dining world in the time you’ve been here? The local places are killing it. I went to Mignonette last night—what an awesome little restaurant. It was such a professional vibe, it had such a good energy, and the food was fantastic. It was simple, not complicated. They do everything right. And I think Miami’s getting a little more that way; there are a lot of chefs who just want to do good food. I see a lot of investing in the local chefs.

You have a strong local following.

How do you do that? To be honest, I just think about what I would want.

There are so many great restaurants in this city, and if [people] come down to my lobby and my restaurant isn’t

214 oceandrive.com

packed, it’s not going to have any atmosphere and they’ll go somewhere else. So, frst and foremost, I target locals and give them what they want.

What’s the dish you’re particularly excited about? I’m the lamb guy, so there’s always a great lamb dish on the menu, but I’m really excited about our charcuterie board.

The charcuterie board? Tell all…

The craft and patience that go into it make it an old-school labor of love; inspiration comes from a lot of old books I have combined with variations of classic and modern favors I have been introduced to. As for the process, some take up to a week to produce, while others can be put together in merely a few hours. Take our spicy tasso ham, for example: We create a special brine with salt sugar and aromatics, then remove a specifc cut from the pork butt. We brine the meat for one week before applying a rub of select spices. The ham then rests for 24 hours before hot-smoking for eight hours. The result is oh so good— succulent, smoky, and spicy.

What’s on the board right now?

It’s got tasso ham, brined and smoked lamb ham, kielbasa sausage, chicken liver pâté, pork and pistachio pâté, soycured porchetta di testa, truffe-stuffed pig’s trotter, and assorted pickles. 1435 Brickell Ave., Miami, 305-358-3535; fourseasons.com david Rosendorf is the creator and author behind foodforthoughtmiami.com, a Miami food and dining blog; between meals, he is a commercial bankruptcy lawyer.

“I’m impressed with how excited people are about food in Miami—they’re yearning for something different.”—brad kilgore

Aside from exemplifying the art of plating, the blue crab shumai with Peruvian aji chili, culantro, and lemongrass at Alter is an amalgamation of worldly and seasonal flavors with every mouthful.

Altered StAteS Brad Kilgore transforms his style with alter, and in doing so, he revolutionizes Wynwood’s dining scene. by lee brian schrager

“We put a lot of work into the playlist here,” says Brad Kilgore, the chef at Alter, where vibey, rock ’n’ roll beats are the sound track for sophisticated yet accessible favors amid industrial décor.

Trained by Michelin-starred chefs in some of Chicago’s fnest restaurants (including L20, Alinea, and Boka) and calling Laurent Gras one of the most infuential fgures in his career, this Kansas City native, who has been in Miami for fve years, has decided to go off on his own.

Kilgore has rarely missed a beat since his high school days when, while attending the James Beard Foundation’s accredited program at Broadmoor, he was encouraged by instructor Bob Brassard to pursue a career in the culinary arts. During his memorable stints at Azul and J&G Grill, Miami diners were quick to note his intricate, boundary-stretching dishes, which are often constructed with a masterly combination of nuanced storytelling and presentational razzledazzle. Although he’d had several offers to open his own place over the years, Kilgore was fnally convinced when his business partners sat him down and asked, “What do you want to do?”

How is Alter different from what you envisioned? It’s better than I thought.

I’m impressed with how excited people are about food in Miami—they’re yearning for something different. The people really create the atmosphere here.

How does it differ from your prior experience? Alter is certainly more relaxed than what I was used to earlier in my career, which was in really opulent settings. But just because food is well thought-out and executed doesn’t mean you have to wear a suit and tie and wait for your birthday to enjoy it. Food is certainly the star [here].

What is your culinary philosophy?

My food is ingredient-driven, with a twist in the approach. I call it “the kicker”— that one surprise that diners won’t see coming.

Do you use a lot of local ingredients?

I’m a big supporter of local, seasonal ingredients, though it’s not easy here

in Miami. I’m willing to invest in it to help build it, starting with beginning to cultivate about fve acres outside of Tampa. I’m even going to grow my own garlic, and hopefully by next year we’re growing nearly all our produce.

Is there one dish in particular that speaks to you as a chef? The blue crab shumai—an evolution of the crispy crab dish I did at J&G Grill. It’s a good representation of my style, with its combination of worldly flavors. It’s got Japanese-style shumai dough, a South American sauce, Thai-inspired flavors, and the kumquat purée is distinctly Floridian.

What’s the kicker in it? The culantro

relish. It’s chimichurri-inspired with panang curry favors and ingredients.

What’s next for Alter? A bar area outside; the pergola is on its way over from Italy. It will focus on Florida, highlighting tropical ingredients that people might not know are indigenous to the area.

“I love to eat flled pasta…. These ravioli are flled with pecorino, a bit of ricotta, and Sicilian pistachios.”—dena marino

“Our pastas simmer in our sauces, so they absorb the flavor of whatever sauce they are accompanied by. It makes a huge difference!”

“To plate our handmade pastas, we use spatulas, not tongs [to avoid tearing it],” says Dena Marino.

“Shaved pecorino and toasted pistachios top off this dish. I use a sharp vegetable peeler to get a fine shave of the delicate cheese.”

Rustic ElEgancE It takes years to become a great chef, but for Dena MarIno of MC KItChen, the time is now. by lee klein

There’s no such thing as a shortcut to becoming a great chef. Nowadays you can jump-start your career by appearing on a television food show, but to reach the level at which you’re universally respected by the public and your peers takes decades. Few understand the distinction better than Dena Marino, chef-partner at MC Kitchen.

The New Jersey native took the fast track by matching skills with Masaharu Morimoto on Iron Chef america (and making multiple appearances on other Food Network series), but she is also a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America and has toiled for two-plus decades on the arduous trail to true chefdom—not including the time she spent as a child in “Nonna’s classroom.”

Marino’s sterling résumé includes fve years with esteemed chef Michael Chiarello at Tra Vigne in St. Helena, California, followed by eight years at Chiarello’s Ajax Tavern in Aspen, Colorado, plus fve more at Aspen’s Ellina and her own D19. In 2012, she and friend Brandy Coletta (the “C” in MC Kitchen) opened their highly lauded modern Italian restaurant in Miami’s Design District.

How did watching your grandmother and great-grandmother in the kitchen infuence you? They were from the Bari and Calabria regions of Italy and made their own salumi, pasta, cheese, cakes…. Just having the visuals of that stuck in your head makes a huge difference.

Your ideal meal… Being at home with family, barbecuing and drinking a cold beer.

Your most intimidating meal? At my frst Aspen Food & Wine Classic, I basically had to cook for everyone in our feld: Danny Meyer, Tom Colicchio, Mario Batali, Lidia Bastianich, Emeril Lagasse, Eric Ripert, Anthony Bourdain… no lie, all in the dining room at the same time. That was probably the craziest moment ever in my career.

Three adjectives to describe your food… Fully favored, simple, and elegant.

Like much of your cuisine, your ravioli with Florida rabbit and vinegar sugo has a rustic simplicity to it. We get these great rabbits from Lake Meadow Naturals in Ocoee, so you don’t have to do much. There are just four other ingredients: pasta, pecorino, pistachio, and vinegar.

How do you prepare it? We lightly sear the rabbit and slowcook it—in white wine instead of red—just enough that it falls off the bone, not enough that it shreds. The vinegar gives a layer of tanginess that cuts the richness of the rabbit and braising liquid, and we bring it all together with fresh sage, roasted pistachios, and shaved pecorino.

The ravioli are so plump! I love to eat flled pasta, but you get tortellini so many times where you don’t even know what’s in it. We make sure you can taste exactly what’s inside of ours. These are flled with pecorino, a bit of ricotta, and Sicilian pistachios.

The next big thing is… I’m looking! What keeps popping into the back of my head are stews, with grains and vegetables like braised greens. I’m ready for winter.

Busy Bee Opened since last month, NaiYara already has all of Miami buzzing over authentic Thai cuisine—another Chef Bee success story. by ingrid hoffmann

Having earned his moniker for his workaholic ways, Chef Bee—given name Piyarat Pothia Arreeratn—didn’t simply climb the culinary ladder; he buzzed right to the top. From busboy to food runner to line cook, Chef Bee held virtually every position in the kitchen prior to landing the job of sushi chef at Nobu, and later at Siam River under the tutelage of Kevin Cory (now the force behind Naoe).

From that industrious foundation— and his experience growing up on his family’s rice and soy farm—Chef Bee built Oishi Thai, North Miami Beach’s go-to spot for pad thai and sashimi.

Eleven years later, having attracted a cult following of diners who have become more like family, Chef Bee is expanding his restaurant empire with NaiYaRa in Sunset Harbour. At NaiYaRa, both the dishes and the décor instantly transport you to the small Thai town of Ban Sankhohiang (where the chef’s family farm still thrives), on a tributary of the Mekong River, near Laos, Myanmar, and China.

“i hope more Miami-born-and-raised chefs help grow this city and keep it authentic.”–chef bee

What does NaiYaRa mean? “Naiyara” is a female elephant; it refects honesty, hard work, and a long life.

Describe how this restaurant and concept take everything you’ve done to a new level. NaiYaRa is where Thai street food with premium ingredients meets genuine and exotic mixes of various regions of Thailand, China, and Japan in a fun and slightly kitschy retrocontemporary environment.

The décor is certainly different than that of most South Beach restaurants.

The décor pays tribute to Thai heritage.

We have a picture of Thailand’s frst Miss Universe, who was crowned at the Miami Beach Auditorium in 1965. The bar is made from Indonesian teak wood and has an impressive sake menu and great cocktails.

Why did you choose Miami as a home? There were so many different cultures where I grew up, and Miami also has so many different people and cultures from around the world. When I frst arrived in Miami, it reminded me

of home, but instead of mountains, I am surrounded by the ocean. I always wanted to live by the ocean. I hope more Miami-born-and-raised chefs help grow this city and keep it authentic.

You’ve already built such a strong following. What’s the motto you live by? I never blame anyone for my failures. If I fail, I have to look to myself.

Your following will be happy to see the crispy bok choy on the menu at NaiYaRa. They had been eating it at Oishi Thai for practically a decade.

I just fnally decided to put it on the menu at NaiYaRa. It used to be on the menu at Oishi, but we took it off, and now it’s sort of something for those in the know. Makes regulars feel like they’re in on something.

And what is it they’re in on? My obsession with crispy bok choy. It was one of the many forms of produce I grew on the farm and one of the dishes that my mother cooked for me growing up.

Sterling Support Lagos combines beauty and support for brain health with its new Keep Memory Alive jewelry collection. By Matt Stewart

Julianne Moore won the 2015 Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in Still Alice, a flm based on the 2007 novel tackling the realities of Alzheimer’s disease.

Why is brain health important to you?

Steven Lagos: My grandfather and grandmother suffered from Alzheimer’s. One of the lessons I learned is that Alzheimer’s affects the family as much as the patient.

How did the Keep Memory Alive jewelry collection come about?

SL: The spectacular exterior of the Ruvo Center formed the basis for our designs, but what’s going on inside that building is even more amazing. The treatments and breakthrough clinical trials they’re conducting are changing lives. The fact that receiving care there is not based on ability to pay makes this project even more incredible. I wanted to celebrate that spirit.

Why did you decide to donate all proceeds to Keep Memory Alive?

SL: It was a way for Lagos to bring attention to the cause of brain health. We could have just written a check, but being involved allows us to bring our talents to this fght and to inspire ourselves in the bargain.

before the patient.” Then there’s the isolation and loneliness, says Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice, the groundbreaking 2007 Alzheimer’s-themed novel.

“There is still so much shame and stigma attached to the disease,” says Genova, “and families affected by AD are often excluded from community, left to care for loved ones alone.”

Caregiving for a family member can be particularly painful, in that the caregiver is often the closest witness as the loved one gradually fades away. A profound sense of loss is a natural response, says Dr. Sam Fazio, the Director of Special Projects in Medical and Scientifc Relations for the Alzheimer’s Association and the author of multiple books on Alzheimer’s care. “You have a long-standing relationship with the person you’re caring for now, and you remember how they used to be.” That doesn’t mean there can’t still be moments of connection and joy in that relationship, insists Fazio, whose work is centered around the persistence of self in Alzheimer’s patients. “The biggest thing is living in the moment and going with the fow,” he explains.

“So the joy might come in smaller connections, and fnding a way to connect on a different level. It may be different from what the person was before, but it is what it is now. That person has a disease and can’t adapt to come into your reality anymore, so you have to adapt and go into their reality. That’s the only way it’ll work. And that’s hard to do.”

As sobering as the state of the disease is, one nugget of hope is that, after decades of being dismissed as “a disease just for old people,” according to Aga Khan, Alzheimer’s awareness is now very much

in the mainstream, and the cause is being championed far and wide. From Julianne Moore’s 2015 Best Actress Oscar for the flm adaptation of Still Alice to I’ll Be Me, director James Keach’s much-lauded recent documentary about country music icon Glen Campbell’s struggle with the disease, more and more attention is being drawn to Alzheimer’s in popular culture, in large part because so many more people can identify with its consequences.

Explaining the success of I’ll Be Me, which, in June, set a CNN Films record for viewership, Keach says, “People saw that it was a tough subject, but it wasn’t going to push people away or create more shame in the game—it was going to create an opportunity for people to relate to what they experience in their own lives or what friends have experienced, [those] caregiving and also suffering with the disease.”

In addition to those flms, events such as the Rita Hayworth Gala continue to raise awareness; celebrities like Seth Rogen and Wayne Brady have stepped up to publicly commit to the fght against the disease; and not one but two months are now dedicated to recognizing the cause: June was Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month (which introduced the Twitter hashtag #EndAlzheimers that has been trending ever since), and November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month and National Caregiver Month.

MAKING PROGRESS All too often the news about Alzheimer’s has been bleak, but recent research breakthroughs have resulted in, for the frst time, an attitude of cautious

Gray Matters South Floridians dealing with Alzheimer’s disease can stay empowered with a wealth of Sunshine State resources. By Meg Mathis

“Y

ou see a lot of extremes here,” observes Gloria Orlandi-Kass, Miami

program services coordinator for the Alzheimer’s Association’s Southeast Florida Chapter, which covers seven counties, namely Monroe, MiamiDade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee. While Florida is home to a large population of senior citizens, Orlandi-Kass says, the economic disparity within South Florida in particular plays a huge role

optimism among Alzheimer’s researchers.

News from the science front has admittedly been dreary as far as Alzheimer’s is concerned, with no effective treatments on the market and just a few FDA-approved drugs available that have had some success in boosting a patient’s memory. “But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing on the horizon,” says Hartley, who cites one recent breakthrough that enables researchers to image the living brain and see problemcausing plaques and tangles that start to develop long before Alzheimer’s is present, as opposed to having to wait for an autopsy. That knowledge can hopefully lead to the ability to recognize who is at the most risk and, ideally, stop the progression of the disease before a person demonstrates symptoms—perhaps with a drug that may already be in trials. “What we’re thinking,” explains Hartley, “is that maybe [some of] those drugs that have failed in clinical trials weren’t inappropriate, they were just being used at the wrong time.”

At the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, director and world-renowned Alzheimer’s researcher Dr. Jeffrey Cummings speaks optimistically about another potential breakthrough that may be at hand involving the use of new immunotherapies for patients with Alzheimer’s. “Immunotherapies involve giving patients antibodies, which then attack the abnormal proteins that are accumulating in the brain,” he explains. “There are two of these treatments that are particularly promising—one from Lilly, one

are able to pay privately, have their care at home or maybe in a nursing home,” she says. Meanwhile, “a lot of poor [people] are on waiting lists to have services that will cover adult daycare services at home, or in an assisted living facility.” Of the 500,000 Floridians living with Alzheimer’s disease, there are more than 150,000 cases in the Southeast Florida Chapter—though it’s likely that those fgures are actually higher, says Orlandi-Kass, citing recent immigrants from South America, Central America, and a variety of other locales, who might be undiagnosed.

In addition to those living with Alzheimer’s, caregivers are also struggling. “They don’t have the fnancial weight to be able to provide for services,” Orlandi-Kass notes, “so many of them work.” Still, it’s a Catch-22 for above: New brain-imaging technology makes

it possible to see the plaques and tangles associated with Alzheimer’s disease before memory problems or other symptoms develop.

people who have to quit their job to provide care to their spouse or parent.

“Many are what are called the ‘sandwich generation,’” says Orlandi-Kass.

“They are caregivers to their parents, but they’re also raising kids or helping continued on page 228

their kids raise grandchildren. We see more and more of those cases here.”

While the statistics surrounding Alzheimer’s are sobering, Orlandi-Kass praises the following resources available to people in South Florida who

“People with Alzheimer’s tend to wander,” says Orlandi-Kass. “Maybe just one time; others are regular wanderers.”

Enrolling in this bracelet identification program—which provides assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—will help recognize those who may be at risk of wandering. alz.org/seflorida/medic_alert

TrialMatch “We have over 225 research studies that are registering with TrialMatch all over the United States,” says Orlandi-Kass of the clinical studies-matching service.

She recommends that everyone participate in trials, not just people living with Alzheimer’s disease, “because it will be the only way we one day will be able to fi nd the cure.” alz.org/seflorida/trialmatch

Walk to End Alzheimer’s “We have five walks every year, from the end of September to the beginning of November,” says Orlandi-Kass of the Alzheimer’s Association’s signature event to raise funds and awareness.

from Biogen.” His dream-world scenario? “The most optimistic forecast would be for the Lilly compound, which should be fi nished next year and therefore could be available in the market in about three years, if everything went perfectly.”

As patients and their families wait for the discovery of effective treatments, the Alzheimer’s Association is focusing its efforts on disease prevention and brain health with its “10 Ways to Love Your Brain” program, which was unveiled on June 1 in recognition of Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month and encourages general lifestyle improvements, such as regular cardiovascular exercise, a healthy diet, adequate sleep, and continuing education. “We never want to give people a recipe of what they can do [that will mean] you’re not going to get Alzheimer’s, because nobody knows that,” says Fazio, who led the development of the program.

“But there’s been good research on exercise and on diet, so this new program is really all about aging well. It looks at four pillars: cognitive activity, physical exercise and health, diet and nutrition, and social engagement. It’s basically a healthy-aging program.

We’re talking about aging in general versus just brain health, because it’s really about all we do to age well. Brain health is one piece of it. It’s all stuff we should be doing.”

the lack of funding,” says Hartley, noting that cancer and heart disease receive between $4 billion and $6 billion per year in research money, while Alzheimer’s is at just $600 million. In December 2014, Congress took a step toward rectifying that imbalance with the passage of the Alzheimer’s Accountability Act, which gives the National Institutes of Health the opportunity to tell Congress each year how much it needs in funding. “So we’re fi nding these mechanisms to boost the dollars that we need to accelerate [treatments],” says Hartley, a note of hope in his voice. “That’s how we’ll make that progress.”

Back in Chicago, at the Rita Hayworth Gala, as Princess Yasmin Aga Khan leans in to be heard over the strains of the jazz band, she, too, speaks with cautious optimism, tempered by the awareness that the fight is far from over. “We’re getting close, and I think there’s hope,” she says. “I’m proud that the Alzheimer’s Association is what it is today, and that it has spread the word nationally and internationally. And I’m proud of all the dollars that everyone has raised. But we’re not there yet.” OD

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE Even the experts know that brain health can do only so much without effective treatments for Alzheimer’s on the market. In 2011, President Obama signed the National Alzheimer’s Project Act, a plan to fi nd effective treatments by 2025— but, ultimately, the program’s success will depend on dollars. “One of our biggest impediments now is

RetuRn of the Beach cluB What’s old is neW again, as Nautilus opens its doors and pays homage to a classic miami social scene. by jon warech

Jason Pomeranc’s childhood memories of Miami Beach are filled with classic beach-town fun—crowds gathering in the lobby for cocktails, parents playing cards with their friends, and everyone splashing around in the oceanfront pools. “I must have stayed in every hotel on the strip as a child,” says Pomeranc, who plans to bring that aroundthe-clock, old-fashion entertainment back to the beach with Nautilus, the 250-room oceanfront property on Collins Avenue rehabilitated by Pomeranc and his SIXTY Hotels collective.

Pomeranc spent his youth in places like the Deauville, Fontainebleau, Cadillac, and Saxony hotels, so his goal is to have Nautilus roll off the

tongue like those renowned retreats. “If in a couple of years people just automatically assume Nautilus has always been there, and is inherently part of the fabric of the local culture, then I will have succeeded,” he says of the property, restored to its original name (most recently it was known as Continental South Beach) and 1950’s Morris Lapidus–designed glory.

Situated between the Shelborne and the Shore Club, Nautilus welcomes guests with a 25-foot-ceiling entrance and uses the restored lobby landmark, “the staircase to nowhere,” as the backdrop to the lobby bar, which features a classic cocktail program, live music and a continued on page 234

The Nautilus Cabana Club is part of what Jason Pomeranc means when he says, “It’s all about speaking to what beach life is all about.”

Westside RepResents

Whether it’s vieWed as the last frontier or the neW frontier, just West of MiaMi is experiencing groWth at an exponential rate. by robyn a. friedman

Elysee. Spark. The Vine.

Hardly a month goes by without the announcement of another new condominium project in the greater Miami area. But as coastal terrain becomes more scarce, developers are setting their sights on the western communities—Weston, Sunrise, Doral—where vacant land is more plentiful than parcels closer to the Atlantic.

“We’ve had to go further and further west to find new undeveloped land to create new communities,” says David Cobb, South Florida regional director of Metrostudy, a residential and commercial real estate market research firm. “But that’s drawing to a close in Broward County—there’s actually only two significant parcels of land left in northwest Broward where there’s a contiguous piece of property over 100 acres.”

That property, Cobb says, is in Parkland.

One significant project under development out west is Metropica, a 65-acre mixed-use development near Sawgrass Mills mall. When complete, the project will include 2,250 high-rise residential units, shopping, restaurants, a wellness center, an entertainment district, a tennis club, and a park—not to mention 650,000 square feet of office space and two hotels.

The first residential building to rise will be YOO, a 263-unit, 28-story condominium by The Trillist Companies. YOO features designer kitchens and baths, spacious terraces, open floor plans, and smart-home technology. Residences start in the $300,000s, ranging from 740 to 1,379 square feet. Delivery is expected in the first quarter of 2017. “Broward has always been a good county to develop in, and its statistics and fundamentals are strong,” says Joseph Kavana, chairman and continued on page 238

EMINENT DOMAIN Gold Coast Report CityPlace Doral’s Arquitectonica-designed retail hub will include an upscale grocer, movie theater, and bowling alley.

“We look at the scarcity of land as an opportunity to be creative.”

—david martin CEO of K Group Holdings in Aventura, the developer of Metropica.

Another new housing project in Broward County is Botaniko Weston, which consists of 125 one- and two-story homes that will rise on a portion of the former Bonaventure Country Club golf course.

Designed by architects Chad Oppenheim and Roney J. Mateu, with interiors by V Starr, the design firm of tennis legend Venus Williams, the homes will range from 4,200 to 7,200 square feet.

Prices start at $1.7 million, with delivery planned for the first quarter of 2016. “We look at the scarcity of land as an opportunity to be creative,” says David Martin, president of Terra, the developer of Botaniko Weston. “Sometimes developers feel like they have to pack in more density, but quality of life can be sacrificed with that strategy.”

Development has also spread to boomtown Doral, in western Miami-Dade County, recently named by the US Census Bureau as the third-fastest growing city in the nation with 50,000-plus residents. One project under development in this flourishing community is the $1 billion Downtown Doral, by Codina Partners, which will include 200,000 square feet of shopping and dining (with Bulla Gastrobar and Passion del Cielo planning outposts here), more than 1 million square feet of commercial space, 2,840 residential units, a charter school, and public green spaces complete with sculptures.

Another shining star on the horizon is CityPlace Doral, a retail and residential development by The Related Group and Shoma Homes, which will feature 600,000 square feet of retail space and over 1,000 new luxury residences. Designed by

Arquitectonica, the retail component of CityPlace will include an upscale grocer, a CinéBistro-Cobb Theatre, and a Kings bowling alley. Future residents can choose from a variety of homesteads: Oasis Park Square, with 150 luxury single-family homes; Manor at CityPlace Doral, a 394-unit apartment project; The Flats, offering upscale midrise rentals; and The Courtyards with spacious condominiums.

But no story about the evolution of Doral would be complete without a mention of Trump National Doral Miami, the legendary golf resort that opened in the 1960s as Doral Golf Resort and Spa. Donald Trump, president and chairman of The Trump Organization, reimagined the property alongside his children Ivanka and Eric, who spearheaded the transformation of the 800-acre property, completed in March 2015. The resort now boasts 643 guest rooms, a reincarnation of Laurent Tourondel’s famed New York steakhouse BLT Prime, the Spa at Doral, and, is of course, home to the famed Blue Monster golf course.

“Mr. Trump’s personal ties with Doral go back to his childhood, when he used to spend a lot of time vacationing here with his family,” says David Feder, vice president and managing director of Trump National Doral Miami. “In fact, he developed an interest and deep understanding for the game of golf here at Doral. A few years ago, when Mr. Trump had the opportunity to purchase the resort, it quickly became a passion project for him and his children. In 2012, the Trump family embarked on a multi-year, $250-million renovation, which they call a labor of love, to restore the resort to its original grandeur.” OD

eminent domain Style Statement “Some days I wonder if I really need Housepad [anymore], because it has worked so well that I walk around the house and everything is perfect,” Michael Bruno says of his app, which helps owners manage their homes.

“If everythIng In your home has a home, It’ll just flow smoothly.”

Picture-Perfect

From cataloging Furniture to managing service providers, a new app, Housepad, gives homeowners a visual way to organize it all. by jill sieracki When entrepreneur Michael Bruno was trying to come up with a plan for a new homedesign business, he discovered his next big idea right in his own Tuxedo Park, New York, backyard. “I started looking at all the moving parts of managing a house,” says Bruno, who created his new app, Housepad, to help maintain his 14,000-square-foot residence and its surrounding

240 oceandrive.com

100-acre property. “When you see something that you want done, the best thing you can do is catalog it at that moment.

I can walk through my house at any given time and find a handful of things that bother me. With this app, I can catalog some for my contractor, some for my painter, some for my housekeeper, some for my gardener.”

Housepad allows

homeowners to create a closed-loop network, a visual “user’s manual,” for anyone who accesses your home, such as family members, service providers, or seasonal renters.

Within each room, users can photograph how they want the space to appear, noting, for example, the correct placement of a tablescape or where the flashlight goes in the kitchen. Then they can leave

to-do lists or instructions with itemized icons, such as fixing a cabinet door that’s constantly ajar. “If everything in your home has a home, and it’s always where it belongs, it’ll just flow smoothly,” says Bruno.

At the onset, Bruno tested Housepad at his second home in the Hamptons. He installed the program on his housekeeper’s smartphone, then he found approximately 30 things that bothered him, from the way the home’s towels were folded to fixing a drape on a curtain rod, and loaded them into the app. He missed seeing the housekeeper during her regular visit, however, so Bruno never gave her instructions on its usage. But three days later, his phone started ringing off the hook with “done” notifications from Housepad’s checklist function. “When we went to the house that weekend, the house was exactly as I wanted it,” says Bruno. “I realized it wasn’t that she was a bad housekeeper, I was a bad client. I never took the time to tell her in a clear way what I

wanted. Now, everything I need, she does it perfectly.”

In the coming months, Housepad is rolling out a trade-only program for interior designers, which will allow them to catalog all the specifics of a project for a client, including a searchable catalog of the furniture, invoices, warranties, care instructions, and paint colors.

Says Bruno, “I’ve found people want to know what they have, and the more education they have, the more they engage with beautiful things, and the more they want better things.”

Also on the horizon is an editorial component that will give Housepad users an opportunity to see “behind-thescenes” elements of designers’ own personal spaces, such as how they organize their linen closets, or how they make a bed. “Interior designers have always been an inspiration for me in all the work I do,” says Bruno, who over his career has bought and sold real estate and launched 1stdibs, the global online marketplace for antiques and design. “We’re creating short videos from which you can learn from different designers those little moments that actually are great crib notes for anyone trying to bring their home to the next level.” housepadapp.com OD

Hyde 2.0

The relaTed group’s lifesTyle and hospiTaliTy brand expands wiTh new resTauranTs, condos, and beach clubs, proving MiaMi’s growTh knows no boundaries.

by marcelle sussman fischler and galena mosovich

Nestled between the Design District’s über-luxury shops and gallery-laden Wynwood, potentially edgy yet diversely voguish Midtown is becoming Miami’s nattiest urban address. “It’s the coolest location—the Meatpacking District of Miami,” says Carlos Rosso, president of The Related Group’s Condominium Development Division. “Midtown is the closest thing to a pedestrian neighborhood we have in Miami.”

Restaurants, bars, and Target are a quick stroll from Hermès, Cartier, and Valentino.

“What the Shops did for Bal Harbour, the Design District will do for Midtown,” says Gil Dezer, president of Dezer Development, the developers behind such prestigious South Florida addresses as Trump Towers and the future Porsche Design Tower Miami.

Rising in the midst of this burgeoning residential and shopping neighborhood is Hyde Midtown Suites and Residences, a hip collection of 60 hotel rooms and 410 condominium residences at NE First Avenue and NE 34th Street. Dezer, The Related Group, and hotelier SBE are collaborating on the 32-story luxury tower, designed with soft rounded corners and an Art Deco aura by the architectural firm Arquitectonica.

Like an amenity-filled cruise ship, Hyde Midtown offers boutiques, restaurants, and live entertainment at the ground-level

Hyde Piano Bar Lounge. The seventh-floor pool deck has a bar and grill, private cabanas, and tennis and bocce courts. The pet-friendly building also boasts a media room, kids room, a Ciel Spa, and a fitness center with Technogym cardio and weight-training equipment and a yoga studio. A tech-savvy app provides ondemand access to concierge services such as housekeeping, in-room dining, laundry, babysitting, and shoeshines. Residents can use the Hyde Beach club at the SLS Hotel South Beach.

David Rockwell’s interiors incorporate an “industrial chic” look with wood-like porcelain tile floors, open kitchens with European cabinetry, quartz countertops, and GE appliances. White porcelain tile baths have vessel sinks and frameless glass showers.

Ceiling-to-floor glass doors slide open from living areas and bedrooms onto spacious terraces with glass and aluminum railings.

Prices range from $380,000 for an 831-square-foot one-bedroom to $2.4 million for a 2,600-square-foot penthouse.

Sixty percent of units are sold, mainly to Latin American investors. Many of the “higher than usual” 30 percent of American buyers rent nearby and “want to have a starter place in Midtown,” Rosso says.

“People that live there love the area.” continued on page 244

Dezer himself bought two apartments. “It’s the best place in Miami to be that is not on the beach,” he says.

Hyde’s ever-expanding brand is also making its mark 17 miles to the north in Hallandale with Related Group and SBE’s hospitality concept Hyde Beach Kitchen + Cocktails. When you see the colorful and kitsch “beach ball” soaring over A1A, you’ll know you’ve arrived. A long, winding driveway takes you past Hallandale Beach’s iconic water tower to its newest addition on the edge of the sand. At night, the massive building is cloaked in darkness to protect the endangered sea turtles; this makes the view of the ocean even more spectacular.

The Pininfarina-designed multilevel and multipurpose beach club boasts an up-close-and-personal setting in which guests feel like they’re literally on the water. The SBE and Related Group collaboration pairs this spectacular optical illusion with culinary offerings envisioned by chef Danny Elmaleh (Cleo) and a bounty of creative cocktails such as the After Sunset Margarita (a seductively smooth variation of the margarita with an unexpected and buzzy ingredient, aloe vera) or A Perez Spritz, an apéritif made from Aperol, Passoã passion fruit liqueur, passion fruit purée, prosecco, soda water, and an orange slice, aptly named after Related’s Jorge Pérez, who dines here.

The first-floor spa and a forthcoming members-only club on the roof complete the offerings at this seaside-chic venue.

It’s all just a taste before the launch of Hyde Beach House Hollywood, a tower that will rise 40 stories above the Intracoastal Waterway and includes membership for owners to Hyde Beach Kitchen + Cocktails. Over 77 condo and 265 resort units will be nestled above one of the most exclusive beach clubs north of South Beach. Hyde Beach House Hollywood is betting on a cool urban vibe with an array of beach-inspired amenities, so much so the companies are fast-tracking construction with an estimated completion in 2018. OD

Made by Alta Porcelana, Lladro’s most exclusive division, the chandelier comes in three sizes—small, medium, and large—with the grandest extending 112 inches from the ceiling ($20,000 to $120,000).

“My first job as a teenager was in Ray’s family’s warehouse,” says Christopher Korge (far left), here with Raymond Kayal Jr. at NewsLink’s The Shoppes at Ocean Drive at Miami International Airport.

How did you decide to take over the company together?

Raymond Kayal Jr.: In 2004, our contracts at the airports were all expiring. My dad decided he was going to retire, and I was really at a crossroads with whether to go back to law or try to stay in the business. So I went to Chris.

Christopher Korge: What really made us a great combination is that we came from two different directions—Ray started working with his father to learn how the business operated…and I was in the airports and had the finance experience, which is a big part of our business.

How have things most changed since those early days?

RK: The first store my grandfather started with in 1959 was a camera and cutlery shop. We sold knives and machetes at the airport. Obviously, the world has changed.

What is the Miami customer like?

RK: At The Shoppes, one of the concepts is Solstice

In 2011, they beat out billion-dollar conglomerates also competing for the space and launched The Shoppes at Ocean Drive, the award-winning mini department store at Miami International Airport that features numerous local vendors. The partners chatted with Ocean Drive about how their industry has evolved over the past 50 years.

What kind of trends have you seen in recent years?

RK: Books have actually seen a surge in business.

Customers are telling us that there’s nothing that takes the place of having a book in your hand.

How were you able to survive during the economic downturn?

CK: The new terminal was coming online, and our new stores were coming online right as the economy tanked. It was lucky in that we were able to build the new stores and have them positioned post-security instead of pre-security.

You were recently awarded space at Tampa International Airport. What’s next for NewsLink?

RK: Our core goal is to maximize and do the absolute best we can with the business that we have. And we know—and the history has shown it—that when we do that, growth naturally and organically occurs. OD

Keyed In

Just a short drive from miami, the Keys—stretching from Key Largo to Key West—offer a different Way to experience paradise. by julia ford-carther While Miamians live where everyone else vacations, residents like to sneak away occasionally for a change of scenery. When feeling the itch to get out of Dodge without dealing with TSA lines, head to The Florida Keys—a mere one to four hours away, depending how far down the A1A you’re willing to venture. Visitors in the know are also keen on this diverting locale, often extending work trips a few days to dip their toes in the white sand and unplug. Take a look at a few of the top Florida Keys destinations that are worth the drive.

TIME-TESTED: ThE MoorIngS VIllagE & Spa, ISlaMoraDa

Three decades ago, windsurfing champion Hubert Baudoin traveled to The Keys for a competition and stayed. In his 20s at the time, Baudoin purchased The Moorings in 1988 and has since expanded it into the internationally celebrated, 18-acre luxury property it is today. The site of big-name fashion shoots (Chanel, for example) with some of the world’s leading supermodels, The Moorings is just as renowned for its postcard-worthy white-sand beaches (as seen on the hit Netflix show Bloodline) and cottages that transport you to a state of mind worlds away from continued on page 256

Blue Hour

The rising skyline of sunny isles beach is unrelenTing evidence of MiaMi’s resilience and exciTing growTh. here, naTive phoTographer Charlie GarCia capTures The essence of why he’s proud To call This ciTy hoMe. 288 oceandrive.com

“Miami born and raised—with temporary stints in New York, LA, and Tokyo—I’ve basically lived here my entire life. Home, and its inescapable beauty that we locals often take for granted, always lures me back. Take, for example, the indigo hue of the sky right before dusk. I shot this image of the Sunny Isles Beach skyline standing atop the Beach Bar at Newport Pier (one of my local hidden gems). It’s here where our calm waters meet our clear skies during what can only be described as blue hour. In this moment of stillness, it’s not only amazing to witness how the city has bounced back from hard times just a couple of years ago, but it’s a living testament to how

great Miami is and what makes it, well, Miami.

As for transformation, I’ve witnessed the city’s exponential growth for decades, and if you look closely at the cranes going up in this picture, I’d say it’s not stopping anytime soon. Most of the buildings dotting this skyline weren’t here several years ago, and if you were to stand in the exact same spot and snap this photo again in 2020, who knows what the landscape might look like.

Even so, as the skyline stretches and evolves from Sunny Isles to Downtown and Brickell, one thing has remained the same since I was born: There’s still plenty of blue water everywhere you look.” charliegarciaphoto.com OD
