FRONT RUNNER Future talk show host and master of ceremonies Johnny Carson poses with contestants in the 1961 Miss Universe pageant in Miami Beach, with (from left) Jetta Nielsen, Miss Denmark; Ritva Wachter, Miss Finland; Simone Darot, Miss France; and Nicole Ksionzenicki, Miss Belgium.

ComediC Relief A young Johnny Carson served As MAster of CereMonies during the 10th AnnuAl Miss universe PAgeAnt, held in the MAgiC City. In the summer of 1961, the popular Miss Universe pageant made its way to Miami Beach for the second consecutive year. Millions tuned in to witness the world’s most beautiful women compete for the crown at the Miami Beach Auditorium (now the Miami Beach Convention Center). Even in black and white (color TV didn’t hit the masses until the mid-’60s), Miss Universe was a vibrant spectacle of dazzling dresses, exotic beauties, and unimaginable glamour. As excitement for the pageant built, a similar hype was forming around a young comedian on the brink of mega stardom—Johnny Carson had already established a name for himself in television, appearing as host of his variety show, The Johnny Carson Show, and the popular game shows Earn Your Vacation and Who Do You Trust? For the pageant’s 10th anniversary, Carson was the first comedian to be chosen to serve as the master of ceremonies.

48  oceandrive.com

The glitzy tension paired with Carson’s charismatic charm and witty quips was a match made in prime-time television heaven, laying the groundwork and setting a high bar for future comedian hosts to follow (sorry, Steve Harvey). Pictured here in June 1961 (the actual pageant took place July 15), the funnyman posed with four of the 48 contestants, smirking and baring his calf with his signature “smize” (before Tyra Banks ever coined the term), drawing the viewer into the joke. Marlene Schmidt, a 24-year-old blonde bombshell from Germany, was crowned the winner. But she wasn’t the only winner to emerge from that pageant—a little more than a year later, Carson was dubbed host of NBC’s The Tonight Show, where millions of television viewers would welcome him into their living rooms for more than three decades, catapulting him to comedic fame and into the hearts of generations of viewers.

FRONT RUNNER The 2007 Cameo marquee.

Weekend Warrior One conversation is all it took for two people—one a world renowned DJ, the other a middle-school student—to inspire each other. As he looks back on that exchange, Ian Grocher, better known as the Miami Heat’s resident DJ Irie, remembers the young boy well. “[This kid] said to me, ‘I know I have to better myself now, for you, for my parents, and mostly for myself, because I know I can be like you one day.’” Those words led Irie to launch his namesake weekend celebration, a twoday fundraiser brimming with activities and hot-ticket events, in June 2005. “It was a simpler time,” says Irie, “I’m not even sure it would be fair for us to call it a whole weekend.” What started as another excuse for Miami to party eventually grew into a community cause, with all proceeds from the event benefiting the Irie Foundation, created in 2011 to empower South Florida at-risk youth through

mentorship programs, cultural experiences, and scholarship opportunities. Twelve years later, Irie Weekend has undergone a major transformation. Now a star-studded festival that includes concerts, a golf tournament, food, fashion, and more (taking place this year June 23 through 25), the current incarnation allows for larger crowds, additional events, and most importantly, more money raised. Still, Irie’s favorite events continue to be the children’s golf clinic and the celebrity golf tournament, which in years past has seen Jamie Foxx and Shaquille O’Neal tee off. It also gives Irie a break from the turntables to spend one-on-one time with attendees. Says the DJ, “This weekend is all about a personal connection for me. I get to connect with everyone, both the kids and the guests, and get to hear their different perspectives and experiences.” The 12th annual Irie Weekend takes place June 23–25; visit irieweekend.com.

Letter from the editor-in-Chief

My wife, Erica, and I with Deepak Chopra at a special presentation hosted by Auberge Beach Residences & Spa Fort Lauderdale.

endlessly celebrated for its exterior beauty—Miami’s beaches, oceans, blue skies, people, palm trees, and Art Deco façades—also, this month, hosts Maison&Objet Americas, which is touted as “bringing together the interior design community in the Americas.” Or maybe that’s just proof that Miami has it all—inside and out. For several days in mid May, the Miami Beach Convention Center hosts the second annual fair, which brings with it some 300 of the top luxury design brands from around the world to our town as a showcase of must-see (and do) trends in interior design. Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, lights, and everything else will be displayed under one roof. It’s a perfect match for a hot-spot region that continually bucks the growth and expansion trend in terms of new construction both in condos and homes. Continuing in the theme of “having it all,” we’re just a little more than a month past the early days of spring, which saw several hundred thousand revelers flocking to downtown and the beaches

ready to turn up the party all day and into the wee hours for the annual Ultra Music Festival and spring break. And before you can even say “tankini,” July marks the return of Swim Week, which will undoubtedly bring glamorous jet-setters and buyers, sellers, and wearers of the latest in swim and resort fashion. Point? Whether it’s fashion, interiors, exteriors, music, or just fun, Miami has a bit of everything for everyone, anytime, anywhere. No one knows that more than our current cover star, Miami’s own Gabrielle Union. A bona fide star of both the silver and small screens, Union’s success far transcends her career in front of the camera. She’s a wife and stepmom, a regular at Heat home games and philanthropic events all over town, as well as an outspoken voice on tough topics from sexual assault to diversity in Hollywood. She’s the perfect fit for this month’s Ocean Drive, where it seems having it all—both inside and out—is perfectly synonymous with Miami.

Miamians to truly revel in everything our multidimensional, multicultural city has to offer. To kick off the season, I encourage you to head over to Maison&Objet Americas at the Miami Beach Convention Center. From May 10 to 13, the Paris-based home and design show will bring hundreds of swoon-worthy upscale brands to the Beach for the second consecutive year. If last year’s showcase was any indication of what we can expect this time around, Miami is in for a spectacular treat. And let’s not forget about June, when things really start to heat up. This special double issue marks our third Women of Influence feature, in which we celebrate the ambitious, powerful, and stylish women infusing the Magic City with their brilliance, enthusiasm, and invigorating charm. This year we’re highlighting eight women—from prominent television personalities to philanthropic leaders—who are leaving their mark on Miami and paving the way for future generations.

78  oceandrive.com

To honor such a special (and hot) issue, we’re more than thrilled to feature the gorgeous and outspoken Gabrielle Union on our cover. As a multitalented actress, wife, stepmother, and active philanthropist, Union is the definition of influential and truly embodies everything we are celebrating. So whether you’re savoring a delicious meal at one of Miami’s acclaimed restaurants helmed by James Beard Award semifinalists, taking a stroll through the ever-colorful Wynwood Walls, or shopping the world’s best fashions in the Design District, enjoy our city’s exceptional offerings these next few months. Of course, you can’t beat lounging poolside or on the beach with a cocktail in hand, taking in Miami’s never-ending magnificence. I hope to see you around town…

Randall Slavin Photographer Born in Hollywood, California, Randall Slavin was working a dead-end job in a gas station when he wandered into a local photography studio and struck up a friendship with the owner, who took the young Mr. Slavin under his wing and taught him some photography basics. Since then, Slavin’s photography has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, GQ, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and many other publications. The photographer shot Ocean Drive’s cover story on Gabrielle Union. What was your inspiration for the shoot? For Gabby, we wanted something bright and colorful to reflect the Latin vibe that pervades everyday Miami life. Where are you dying to shoot in Miami? I’d love to photograph a blisteringly hot supermodel in Little Havana.

A Miami-based freelance writer and copywriter originally from Connecticut, Becky Randel is a frequent contributor to Ocean Drive, as well as People magazine and People.com, About.com, TheDailyMeal.com, W magazine, and more. Randel wrote this month’s feature “Paying It Forward,” in which she speaks to eight prominent women who are making a difference in Miami and around the world. How did you feel after talking to these fellow Miami women? Unbelievably inspired. Aside from the sheer intelligence and passion of this group, I was so encouraged by the range of issues they address. Each woman puts her heart and soul into what she does— from the arts to the health industry to advocacy. Their devotion and impact were indisputable.

Currently the editor-at-large at Nylon, writer and editor Patty Adams Martinez has conducted nearly 1,000 celebrity interviews and has written for Cosmopolitan, Redbook, and the New York Post, among other publications. Martinez interviews cover star Gabrielle Union about her on-screen roles, important social issues, and what it’s like to be one half of Miami’s hottest power couple in “State of the Union.” As an experienced celebrity interviewer, what was unique about your conversation with Gabrielle Union? Many celebrities come off as so media-trained that they give pat answers in every interview, but Union is really open, down-to-earth, and straight-up blunt. You forget she’s a big TV and movie star! Talking to her feels more like talking to your chatty friend, who’s not afraid to tell you like it is—which I love.

Marcelle Sussman Fischler is an award-winning freelance writer and author. She 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!, Hamptons magazine, and other outlets. In this issue, she writes about the designers, architects, and trendsetters behind Miami’s evolving design palette in “That Miami Style.” If you could make over your own South Florida condo, whom would you hire? Steven Gurowitz of Interiors by Steven G. His wide-ranging designs—his 1,800 product lines include haute contemporary, antiquity, and Art Deco styles—are refined yet comfortable and reflect individual taste. What would you do to give your home a refresh? I’d install porcelain floors that resemble lightwood, snazzy LED lighting, and great art.

Magic city cut Fashion designer Fabrice Tardieu is mixing and matching his way into dressing the FashionForward man. by jon warech

There’s a look around the 305, one that just screams “Miami.” You can see it at parties on South Beach, strolling around the street art in Wynwood, and even in the Miami Heat team video—it’s designer Fabrice Tardieu’s signature look, and it’s putting Miami on the fashion map. “The average doctor, lawyer, TV personality, athlete, they want to look sexy, but they don’t want to look obnoxious,” says Tardieu of his sartorial approach, which he calls “laid-back luxury.” “It was time for someone to start a line that expressed that with a lot of small details and exquisite manufacturing, but wasn’t too crazy, because people want to look good and stand out, but they don’t want people to make fun of them.” continued on page 88

STYLE Tastemaker “I LEARNED FROM GIORGIO ARMANI THAT YOUR ITEMS MUST BE RECOGNIZED FROM A MILE AWAY.”

The finale of Fabrice Tardieu’s SS15 fashion show, mixing elements of luxury and street wear. ABOVE: The designer behind the scenes at his FW16 show.

88 OCEANDRIVE.COM

No one is laughing at the brand that Tardieu started in 2014 and is on display in his new Little River showroom. His collection of sneakers, jogging suits, blazers, suits, and street wear mixes both elements of casual and luxury to serve as all-purpose attire for the fashionable man. “I have sneakers that are python skin, and then I just added fuchsia rubber soles,” he says, noting that the shoe line is inspired by women’s handbags. “And I did some jogging suits, but I had them tailored by guys who make three-piece suits and blazers, so that the jogging suit fits you like a glove. That’s the look.” It’s a look appreciated by fashion icons like Dwyane Wade, Lewis Hamilton, and Swizz Beatz as well as Gabrielle Union, who rocks Tardieu’s women’s sneakers. Grateful for their support, Tardieu notes that being based in the Magic City helps to set him apart as a designer. “That’s the thing with Miami—when you have a good product and you have people like this helping you, it’s very special. I don’t know that that happens in every city,” he says. “Here, when you’re doing something with love, the people support it and give the love back to you.”

Miami is also a source of creativity for Tardieu. He uses the city’s diversity, colors, and beauty for ideas for upcoming collections. “My biggest problem is that my head has too much inspiration in it,” he says. Tardieu’s fashion sensibility comes from years of traveling around the world. Born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, he studied in France, then began his career there working for Giorgio Armani, before launching shirt label Bogosse a dozen years ago. Now his collection, which this season will be packed with lightweight blazers that can be mixed with Bermuda shorts and his Stan sneakers or paired with trousers and a tie, depending on the occasion, certainly reflects both his Miami life and his travels. “Something that I learned from my old boss Giorgio Armani was that your items must be recognized from a mile away,” he says. “Buying something with logos all over is not cool; I find it a little vulgar. Being subtle is important. But when you see a Fabrice product and the level of detailing, it can be recognized from a mile away.” 7221 NW Second Ave., Miami; fabricetardieu.com OD

routine, [such as] high-quality sunscreen applied appropriately, and daily high-quality antioxidant use,” says Dr. Maercks. “It is important to keep in mind that SPF ratings are created based on a generously thick and even application—a type of application I have personally never seen a person in Miami perform. Instead, most people take a small amount of sunscreen and spread it thin to cover a huge area. This can lower the actual SPF by 50 percent or much more.” “The reality is that we live in South Florida and we will—and need to be— outside to live a healthy life,” says Dr. Martin N. Zaiac, director of the Greater Miami Skin & Laser Center. “Just do it being sun safe.” repair & reshape

“Damages from sun exposure can be corrected with a combination of simple but effective skincare and laser and light-based interventions, combined with some soft-tissue repair with hyaluronic acid-based injectable interventions, such as a procedure called ‘aesthetic facial balancing’ in my practice,” says Dr. Maercks, whose plastic surgery office provides a number of skincare services, including microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and skin resurfacing. “Patients with extensive sun damage and aging are sometimes better continued on page 104

An alfresco lifestyle is a huge reason thousands of visitors flock to Miami and why residents spend much of their time posting envy-inducing photographs to the Instagram feeds of their northern friends and family. However, the city’s outdoor culture can—without the proper attention—be detrimental to people’s skin. “Because of our amazing year-round weather, people [here] do tend to get a higher dose of ultraviolet radiation than other areas,” says Miami-based plastic surgeon Dr. Rian A. Maercks. “Miamians love the beach, boating, and the water, which adds to this exposure.” On top of that, the city’s affinity for skin-baring fashions makes it even more important to protect against the sun’s powerful rays. “It’s smart to avoid prolonged sun midday, but if that’s not an option, you should cover up with long sleeves and pants,” says Dr. Leslie Baumann, whose cutting-edge Baumann Cosmetic Dermatology paved the way for such mainstream cosmetic procedures as Botox, Juvéderm, and other treatments. “It’s important to know that a white T-shirt only provides an SPF of about 5, so look for apparel designed to shield the skin from UV rays. I also recommend an oral antioxidant supplement called Heliocare, which may provide some extra protection against damaging free radicals generated by the sun.” In fact, most Miami specialists agree that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. “The single most effective thing is a daily prevention

A leader in cosmetic dermatology, Baumann Cosmetic Dermatology offers a wealth of skincare services, including injectables, body and laser treatments, and facials and peels. “Technology has come a long way, and we’re lucky to have many ways to improve the various symptoms of sun damage,” says Dr. Baumann, who suggests patients aim for preventative steps before seeking proce­ dural help. “We have peels, lasers, and energy­ based treatments that improve the wrinkles, rough texture, discoloration, and loss of elasticity

“I tell my patients to be sun wise,” says Dr. Zaiac, director of the Greater Miami Skin & Laser Center, and the chairman of the department of derma­ tology at Florida International University’s Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine. “Wake up, brush your teeth, put on sunscreen. Then obviously there are three other basic creams that I recommend— a moisturizing emollient, an antioxidant, and a retinoid.” Following these simple steps can be the first line of defense in staving off skin cancer, premature aging, “age” spots, and thinning of the skin, which can cause easy bruising.

Carillon Miami Beach offers a roster of health and wellness treatments, including advanced skin therapies such as the Pure Oxygen Infusion treatment, which floods the skin with a cocktail of vitamins, peptides, amino acids, and pure oxygen to provide deep cellular renewal and leave a visible rosy glow.

After a year-long renovation, the spa recently reopened with a host of new treatments, such as the Diamond Hydrating Infusion Facial, which uses a gold mask to diminish fine lines and increase elasticity, or the Resveratrol Hydrating Facial, which alleviates dryness and reduces redness. “We are really excited about the rollout of our new spa menu of experiences, which is focused on customization and the ultimate in pampering,” says Director of Spa Michael Perez. 8755 NW 36th St., Miami, 305-5922000; trumphotel collection.com

A not-to-be-missed event for interior designers, architects, product designers, and retailers for more than two decades, the trade fair Maison&Objet, which exhibits some of the finest examples of the decorative arts in the world twice a year in Paris, will this month host its second show in Miami Beach, offering easier access to its curated collection of brands for the design trade in the Americas. With 11,000 people attending its debut event last year, Maison&Objet Americas’ director, Gaston Isoldi, expects the fair to grow by approximately 20 percent, with about 400 furniture, lighting, and accessories brands on display—nearly twice as many as last year—including European trendsetters, like Guadarte and Camus Collection, and North and South American innovators, such as Mitchell Black and Weplight. The fair will also celebrate high design around the city with awards ceremonies, conferences, showroom and museum events, and, of course, plenty of private cocktail parties.

CULTURE Hottest Ticket The daringly whimsical designs of Rafael de Cárdenas (INSET) include this geometric shelving.

MAISON&OBJET AMERICAS DESIGNER OF THE YEAR: RAFAEL DE CÁRDENAS Ever since he founded his multidisciplinary design firm, Architecture at Large, in New York 10 years ago, American designer Rafael de Cárdenas has been blazing a bold, inventive trail that has riveted the design world. His luxurious, playful, multifaceted approach to design has also attracted a diverse clutch of clients— including Baccarat, Cartier, Nike, and Ford Models—that value his emphasis on creating spaces inspired by mood rather than style. Ever on the move, the in-demand designer recently opened a new office in London. architectureatlarge.com

“WE HAVE A DEDICATED TEAM THAT IS TAKING CARE OF WHAT WE CALL THE ‘MIAMI EXPERIENCE.’” —GASTON ISOLDI How does the American version of Maison&Objet differ from the fairs in Paris or Asia? Basically, the composition. The Singapore show is geared 100 percent to interior designers and architects, who are looking for solutions at the fair. The two Paris shows are oriented to specifiers (architects and designers) and retailers (concept stores, distributors). Miami has the same configuration as Paris, with a mix of furniture, trendy designs, and solutions oriented to specifiers and retailers. Where do the exhibitors come from? There is an important presence of European exhibitors, because it is the preference of the buyers from the US and Latin America. Most of the other 30 percent come from the US and Latin America. Who will be speaking at the fair this year? Some of the speakers are [Brazilian industrial designer] Humberto Campana, [M&O Americas Designer of the Year] Rafael de Cárdenas, and [Catalan furniture designer] Eugeni Quitllet. What goes on outside of the convention center?

We have a dedicated team that is taking care of what we call the “Miami Experience.” This team is working to identify different experiences dedicated to the exhibitors and visitors who come from abroad to really discover Miami. These experiences range from the Designer of the Year award ceremony at the Moore Building and the opening reception at the Palm Court in the Design District to a kickoff party at Ironside, activities in eight partner museums, lectures and receptions in showrooms in the Design District and Wynwood, architecture and design tours across the city, and many private events. Aside from its position as a crossroads of the Americas, what appeals to exhibitors about Miami? Miami is the sixth [most popular] city in the world in attracting ultra-high-net-worth individuals. The level of luxury high-rise buildings and luxury hotels and luxury homes here makes it the perfect marketplace for exhibitors.

CULTURE Now Showing The summer tours of (clockwise from left) Ellie Goulding, Florence + The Machine, Selena Gomez, and Justin Bieber will rock the AmericanAirlines Arena over the coming weeks.

Pop Sounds Ellie Goulding made one thing clear the last time she was in Miami—she comes to the Magic City to party! Performing an intimate, poolside show to launch her line of MAC Cosmetics at The Miami Beach Edition during Art Basel, the 29-year-old singer/ songwriter was fighting a cold. Worried that her fading voice wouldn’t be heard over the excitement of the crowd, she promised to party with her fans later that night when they could be “really loud” together. But to get through the set without disappointing, she revealed to the audience her secret weapon: “I’m going to drink my way through it. I’ve had a few tequilas. It’s for the best. I’m feeling quite good, actually.” Six months later, Goulding is making a grand return to Miami—and throwing a much bigger bash at the AmericanAirlines Arena. On her critically acclaimed and hitmaking third album, Delirium, the world

110  oceandrive.com

has gotten to know a bolder and happier Goulding. Ditching her ethereal, dreamy folk style for full-blown dance/pop, Goulding last year explained to Rolling Stone, “I feel like I’ve opened my eyes to a lot more things in the world and I feel like I can change them. I feel a lot more positive about life. I feel like I have a lot more confidence and power.” On this tour, quieter moments may come when she performs songs like the sexy hit “Love Me Like You Do” off the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack—but expect to be up and out of your seat most of the night as Goulding shakes and shimmies her way through upbeat hits like “Something in the Way You Move” and “On My Mind.” From the moment the “lights” dim, Goulding is hosting a party you won’t forget.

we will rock you! Get your tickets now for these other “can’t miss” concert events taking place at AmericanAirlines Arena. Florence + The Machine, May 13 The band’s third studio album, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, is a devastating and beautiful breakup record with hits like “Ship to Wreck.” Hearing these songs live means watching lead singer Florence Welch wear her heart on her sleeve. And, bonus: It’s a real treat that they’re kicking off the US leg of this emotional tour right here in Miami. Selena Gomez, June 11 The former Disney star uses her new album, Revival, to fight back at the media scrutiny she’s

received over the years. Ready to take those personal songs to a live audience, Gomez looks to shed her “goody-two-shoes” image and come into her own as a pop star during this tour. Justin Bieber, July 2–3 Known in Miami more for partying (and even some legal drama including a 2014 DUI) than his music, Bieber tries to change that image when his latest tour rolls into town. Expect a soulful and even introspective night of music from the former tween idol as he promotes Purpose, his most mature album to date.

undalini Yoga Festival The Inaugural MiaMi Beac offers a new KInd of MInd, Body, and spIrITual awareness To MIaMI’s ThrIvIng yoga CoMMunITy. By carla torres

Picture this: thousands of people breathing heavily, eyes gazing, body locking and chanting in unison, followed by complete stillness and a “temple twerk” Bhangra dance session. This will be the scene at the oceanfront North Beach Bandshell when the Miami Beach Kundalini Yoga Festival takes place Memorial Day weekend, May 28 and 29. The brainchild of Mia Glick, a former Ford child model turned plus-size model turned yogi, and coproduced by the Rhythm Foundation, a nonprofit cultural organization presenting international music, the festival is an outgrowth of Glick’s lifelong devotion to the practice of personal awareness. “All yoga and body movement create awareness,” she says, “but what sets kundalini apart is reawakening the hidden potential of awareness and your pituitary gland, which stops secreting at age 9.” A yoga and Pilates teacher at Miami Beach JCC, Glick had her first taste of the healing power of kundalini and deep states of meditation with Yogi Bhajan, a master yogi who brought the ancient practice to the West in 1968. “I knew after my second kundalini class that I was going to teach,” she says. At that time, Glick was “torn between staying in Miami and moving to Colorado,” but an hour of Bhajan’s uninterrupted guidance confirmed her intuition and Miami won. “So much of yoga has become about a fitness trend that people forget its underlying purpose,” Glick says. “[They] have the misconception that kundalini isn’t physical or that it’s a religion because we wear turbans to teach.” Revered for its ability to bring about enlightenment and bliss, the practice can be experienced in two full days of non-

“Other kids would be drawing bombers and jet fighters in their notebooks,” Randy Burman recalls of his teenage years in the 1960s. “I would be drawing storefronts.” Likewise, the glossy magazine pages tacked to his bedroom wall weren’t torn from Playboy; they were the then-groundbreaking advertisements from Alka-Seltzer and Volkswagen. Burman was fascinated with how their visual and typographical elements came together and hooked a viewer’s mind. “There was never any question what I would grow up to do,” he laughs. Sure enough, Burman is currently the creative director and co-owner of one of Miami’s foremost graphic design firms, Ikon Communication and Marketing Design, crafting logos and advertising for a host of organizations and companies, from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation to Snapple. Yet the last decade has also seen Burman dive into the art world, becoming an inventive conceptualist with his work featured at the Frost Art Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as installed guerilla-style all over town. If there’s a common thread between his disparate pieces—from Vent-oMatic, billed as “a cathartic public health service,” which allowed people to

wing shoes at images of a host of controversial public figures, to Possessed, which gleefully transformed chilling historical photos into selfie-ready backdrops—it’s Burman’s wry take on politicking. The topics may be weighty, but his tone is never didactic and his language is always directed beyond the art world sandbox so many of his peers are content to play within. “I do tackle serious subjects, but I like to subvert it with a sense of humor,” Burman explains. The key, he adds, turning to one of his citywide projects for the O, Miami Poetry Festival last month, is to utilize the same approach with his art pieces as with his design work. “What is their objective? What are they trying to do?” he muses. “A lot of time clients know what they want to say, but they have no idea how to communicate with an audience. In the case of the annual O, Miami, the mission is to have everyone in Miami-Dade County exposed to a poem. So why not put the poems right on the street in the form of street signs?” The signs in question mirrored Burman’s playful spirit, looking authentic and only raising eyebrows upon closer reading: thou shall not

yield; until further notice never ; do not feed the tourists who feed alligators who eat tourists which is bad for tourism. Call it a Groucho Marxist attack on the mundanity of everyday life. Of course, even if Burman could have gotten legal permission to install bootleg street signs, he then would have had to wade through a sea of zoning strictures as to where exactly they could be placed. “The best way to do it is to hide in plain sight,” he says of what came next. “We looked just like regular city workers. Our shirts had a county seal on them and read department of poetry works on the back. A couple of people would walk by and ask, ‘The county really has a department of poetry?’ But other than being told to leave the Miami Zoo”—a security guard was amused, but all too aware of which crews were authorized to do maintenance work near the animals—“we never had any incidents whatsoever.” In fact, many of those signs still remain in place, from Wynwood to Hialeah, bringing comic relief to folks in search of a parking space as they spy $50 fine for failure to read this sign. “When I sell work, it’s always a surprise— that’s not the point at all,” Burman continues. “What I’m really concerned with is how people are going to react. And

that goes back to my graphic design skills… If people aren’t going to react, there’s no purpose in doing it.” Which raises a few questions about his latest piece, The Future of Print, featured in the “Spin Cycle” group show currently at Little Haiti’s Laundromat Art Space (yes, a former Laundromat transformed into an avantgarde art complex). The Future of Print contradicts almost everything Burman has explained about his driving ethos: A miniskyscraper built out of chopped-up samples from the past 30 years of his design work, it is literally a summation of his professional career. Yet, oddly, viewers will have no idea what this carefully lashed-together structure is actually made of—or the material’s intimate connection to the artist who assembled it. They’ll simply see grids of clashing colors rising before them. “It’s a very personal piece,” Burman says with a chuckle, “but all the observer will appreciate is the aesthetic value this massed matrix represents. Just like today’s newspaper is tomorrow’s recycling, it’s almost a joke on myself!” Give Burman credit. Like any truly talented satirist, he’s not afraid to aim his sharpest barbs squarely at the mirror. The Future of Print is currently on view

Through expansion and curaTion, Jessica Goldman srebnic is helping WynWood groW up, WiThouT leTTing iT groW old. by jon warech Under the watchful eye of developer Tony Goldman, the Wynwood Walls transformed a once-undesirable neighborhood into a vibrant home for internationally acclaimed street art. But for his baby to develop as the late visionary intended, it will fall on his daughter, Jessica Goldman Srebnick, to nurture the area into adulthood. “I feel like Wynwood is in its toddler stage,” says Goldman Srebnick, the CEO of Goldman Properties. “We’re walking, we’re talking, but we still have a lot of growth ahead of us.” Over the next five years, Goldman Srebnick expects big changes in Wynwood, including an influx of retail, a 434-car parking garage (being developed by Goldman Properties), and office buildings packed with tech companies, start-ups, and coworking space. But as the neighborhood grows, Goldman Srebnick is working to ensure that Wynwood doesn’t lose what she calls the “special sauce” that makes it one of the most dynamic communities in the world. “The art is going to go vertical,” she says. “Right now it’s all horizontal, but as we start building bigger, it’s going to go vertical, which is going to be interesting. Plus, I think you’ll see a beautiful marriage of art and architecture in Wynwood. The hope is that we’re setting the tone for that.” The evolution has already started at Goldman Properties, which recently expanded the continued on page 120

But at the same time, you will work that much harder and the quality of your product will be that much better if it’s something you really love and believe in,” she explains, noting the success of the restaurants her company runs, Wynwood Kitchen & Bar and Joey’s Italian Café, and the growth of tenants like Panther Coffee and Zak the Baker. “We have a marathon mind-set, not a sprinter’s mind-set, and so we’re thinking about decisions for the long term. Choices come with consequences, and I try to make choices that better the lives of other people and create prosperity and hope.” And in Wynwood, hope springs eternal, and prosperity is painted on every wall. 2520 NW Second Ave., Miami; thewynwoodwalls.com OD

Wynwood Walls by purchasing an adjacent property dubbed Wynwood Garden. While the expansion allows for larger events—like the concert series that Goldman Srebnick is starting in May or high-profile weddings (and nightlife impresario David Grutman’s recent engagement)—it also provides room for more street art, which is the foundation of the development. “We like to make sure we have representation from all over the world,” she says, noting that she’s on the hunt for an Italian artist. “In the day and age of Instagram, you can really research and find some extraordinary artists and what they’re doing in real time all over the world.” Here, the art isn’t just pretty; it’s also good for business. “I look at the Wynwood Building as an interesting example,” Goldman Srebnick says of the structure that’s now home to tenants like Del Toro Shoes and the hair salon Junior & Hatter. “It was a 40,000-square-foot industrial building that was getting $6 a square foot in rent. We painted it these incredible black and white stripes—we didn’t change the structure of the building at all—and then all of a sudden, creative people wanted to work there and creative retailers wanted to be there.” And as Wynwood matures, new tenants will expect the same vibe—“There’s going to be a cachet to having an office in Wynwood,” she says—and demand that the cool neighborhood not lose its edge. Businesses like Jugofresh are doing their part by standing out designwise and embracing the responsibility that comes with being a Wynwood tenant. “You know where you are when you’re in Wynwood,” she adds. “It’s not Everyplace USA.” Juggling the creative and the corporate, managing an expanding business while staying true to her father’s ideals, and helping Wynwood grow up without selling out constitutes a big part of Goldman Srebnick’s day. She watched her father at work (what she endearingly calls the Tony Goldman School of Business) and is a

PEOPLE Dynamic Duo

IN LOVE AND ACROBATICS AT E11EVEN, DANCING AERIALISTS HAMPUS AND MILENA SHARE MORE THAN JUST THE SPOTLIGHT.

It’s 3:33 on a Saturday night (or a Sunday morning, depending on how you want to look at it) at E11even when the music goes from untz-untz to Cirque du Soleil. The abrupt change is unnoticed by the tables of partygoers who’ve already racked up multiple bottles and are just getting their night started at Miami’s only 24/7 showclub—that is, until a lingerie-clad beauty climbs onto the platform with the slickness of Catwoman. Before anyone has a chance to even think about whisking her away, a blond and blue-eyed knight arrives in a lot less than shining armor and grabs hold of her thighs as she erotically rises into the air and goes into a full split, now dangling some 30 feet above the stage, suspended only by a thin wire. This isn’t your wildest fantasy playing itself out (though it might as well be); it’s the acrobatic spectacle that takes place at E11even in the middle of the night, Thursday through Saturday. “It’s live, so anything can happen,” says Milena Straczynski, the aerial beauty. “We are surrounded by people who are in total party mode.” Prior to joining Straczynski onstage and in holy matrimony (the two got married six months ago), Hampus Jansson toured with Cirque du Soleil for five years (including in Michael Jackson ONE) before landing in Miami for a pop-up show called Orchid. It was there that the couple met. “It was love at first flight,” says Straczynski. “We had to figure out how to stay together.” That required Jansson to teach Straczynski how to fly, and later to learn her burlesque ways, in order for them to fuse the two together in an act that has the aerialists sensually (yet tastefully) peeling away layers of each other’s clothing in midair while bending their bodies in unimaginable ways. It’s a routine that E11even theatrics director and 15-year Cirque veteran Dan Rowland couldn’t resist when the club opened two years ago, conveniently keeping Straczynski and Jansson “floating” in Miami and playing out their acrobatic love story week after week. Says Straczynski of Jansson, “He takes me higher than I’ve ever gone.” 29 NE 11th St., Miami, 305-829-2911; 11miami.com OD

PEOPLE Spirit of Generosity For more than 20 years, Daisy Fuentes has been raising money to help end childhood cancer. below: Fuentes with Julia, 13, a patient at St. Jude.

For the Kids “Deep down inside, we all want to find a cause to support, something we can connect to,” says Daisy Fuentes, a former MTV VJ and now the host of La Voz Kids on Telemundo. “For me, St. Jude is that cause.” Since its inception in 2002, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s annual Angels & Stars benefit has raised $4 million to defeat childhood cancer, while honoring some of Latin music’s most celebrated artists for their altruism. Fuentes offers a glimpse into this year’s gala and reflects on how St. Jude has changed her outlook on life. You’ve been supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for 20 years. Why did you get involved? It started by being invited to their galas. And then they invited me to the hospital, and that’s where everything changed. It really reminds me that we all need to do something to help one another. What impresses you most about everything that St. Jude does? It’s a place where children go when they’re turned down by most other places. When other experts and hospitals can’t do anything else for their disease, their last resort is St. Jude. Rare cancers and uncommon, difficult-to-treat illnesses are researched. They’ve found many cures already. The survival rate increases every year. What impresses me is that once a cure is discovered, it is shared, free of charge, with the entire medical community around the world.

126  oceandrive.com

The gala has raised a whopping $4 million to date. One of the things I say to people so they can grasp the reality is: It costs $2 million to run the hospital every day. So yes, it does seem like we’re raising money and getting more volunteers, which is seriously amazing, but obviously not enough. What do you have planned for this year? I plan on going to the gala with my new husband [Richard Marx] and trying to talk him into performing a couple songs. There will be some very familiar faces that we have grown to know and love and who are regular supporters of the hospital. Chino y Nacho will also be performing, and the auctioned items will be two coveted tickets to the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show in New York. What’s been your top moment over the past 14 years? The very first gala stands out because it was an effort to get it going. It started as something very small and felt like a dinner party. Seeing it grow every year has been amazing. What do you love most about Miami? What’s not to love? Miami is a second home; my family is there. In Miami, you spend the day in the water. It’s like being in the Caribbean. The annual FedEx/St. Jude Angels & Stars Gala takes place May 14 at the InterContinental Miami, 100 Chopin Plz., Miami; stjude.org OD

Food For ThoughT Plant-casual aPothecarystyle suPerfood bar Manna Life food in downtown is giving the Magic city a taste of true wellness. by carla torres Which came first—the chicken or the egg? Philosophers have debated the question of how life and the universe began for ages, overlooking the tangible and edible answer: “Just as plants are the building blocks of creation, food is the foundation for life,” says wellness and nutrition expert Sabra Seligman, the mastermind behind Manna Life Food, a fresh haven for nourishment in the heart of downtown.

At Manna, a term dating back to biblical times meaning food that fell from heaven, ancient foods (what we in the modern world call “superfoods”) are the star of the plant-forward menu. “Everything we do is from scratch and comes from a natural source. Nothing is refined,” says Seligman, who, in addition to

receiving her culinary training under raw and vegan authority Mark Reinfeld, spent her 16-year career as a wellness consultant and alternative therapies practitioner traveling the world and opening and managing spas and wellness centers, including W Barcelona, before landing in Miami. However, Seligman’s culinary journey didn’t just take place in a kitchen. “Without even thinking of going into the food business, that’s the direction the universe and life took me in,” she says. “It’s where we need to pay most attention. Yes, we can do fitness, but what we eat is the utmost core component to wellness.” Wellness, she says, is happening everywhere, “but especially in Miami.” It’s here that Seligman and Executive Chef Diana Jaramillo have created a salubrious and delectable menu that goes beyond the typical juices, nut “mylks,” smoothies, and bowls that can be found all over town. Case in point, Manna’s signature hibiscus chia fresca (water blended with hibiscus flower tea and lime, ginger, and dark chia seeds) that just may become your daily source of hydration. Looking to shake up your morning smoothie routine? The namesake Manna Lifeshake (made with cacao, maca, reishi, coconut oil, cashew mylk, cashews, dates, vanilla, and cacao maca fudge, and topped with housemade coconut whipped cream) will take care of that, as will the matcha colada (noni, lucuma, chlorophyll, pineapple, coconut meat, and berry drizzle). continueD on paGe 132

TASTE Kitchen Confidential “You CAn tell how MuCh fun A CitY is going to Be if noBu is in it.” —nobuyuki “nobu” matsuhisa

Chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa expands his celeb-favorite restaurant empire to the Eden Roc, soon to include a Nobu Hotel.

Nobu Miami first opened at the Shore Club in 2001, and at that time, the Material Girl was a regular. Fifteen years later, Nobu has relocated to the Eden Roc, which will soon include his Nobu Hotel. Here, Matsuhisa dishes on global domination,

being partners with Robert De Niro, and his private inner struggles. The first Nobu opened in 1994. Why, after all these years, make the move into the hotel concept? It was about time to make a change and move somewhere new. The Eden Roc came up, and [cofounder] Robert De Niro used to stay here when he

was a kid, and he really loved the place—that was the catalyst. There was a lot of nostalgia involved. Did you always dream of a namesake restaurant empire? No, I knew I wanted to be a chef since I was a kid and started working at 18 years old, washing dishes and cleaning tables. I opened my first restaurant in South America and then

Anchorage, Alaska. Fifty days later, a fire happened. I thought about committing suicide. What happened? I had dreams that I would make my own restaurant, buy a house, own a nice car. After the fire, I lost myself. That’s when I stopped planning and started living and working in the moment. Tell us about playing Mr. Roboto in Austin Powers in Goldmember. One day, Mike Myers and Steven Spielberg were eating at Nobu Los Angeles and they were talking about the third Austin Powers movie. I said joking that they need my character, and to let me know when production started. The next day, production called me to come audition. What’s the one dish no one should leave Nobu without experiencing? We have a couple of exclusive dishes in Miami, like the

new artichoke salad. What is your biggest sushi pet peeve? I used to hate when American people used too much soy sauce and wasabi. They can’t taste the fish. If you’re going to dip into soy sauce, it has to be on the fish side, not the rice side. I created my signature wasabi pepper sauce because people like soy sauce and wasabi, so I mixed them and sautéed in a pan, plus garlic and black pepper. How do you feel about cream cheese and sushi? No. Cream cheese is not a Japanese ingredient. I don’t want to use Western ingredients unless I really need to. What’s the craziest request a customer has ever had? Sometimes people want to drink tequila with me. After one shot, I can’t stop. 4525 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-695-3232; noburestaurants.com OD

Time for Wine From $165,000 bottles to Fendi-decorated wine rooms, miami’s best cellars, Vaults, and wine collections appeal to the city’s one percent. by becky randel

AdenA Grill & Wine BAr

Adena brings a touch of modern swank to Gulfstream Park with its “farm to fork” cuisine, private wine room, and 7,000-bottle collection assembled by John Kulhanjian, the restaurant’s director of operations. “Miami is certainly soaring as a wine-savvy city,” he says. “We feature wines from 11 countries…. We constantly seek out rare finds and vintages.” Be sure to stop by Adena on Wednesdays, when it offers a half-price list. The Village at Gulfstream Park, 900 Silks Run #1740, Hallandale Beach, 954-464-2333; adenagrill.com BourBon SteA

“We have what I feel to be the best representation of Chateau Musar in the state,” says Bourbon Steak sommelier Craig Teriaca. “These are some of the most sought-after wines in the world by serious collectors.” The wine list at this Michael Mina steakhouse also features two “Sommelier Selection” pages, which include bottles specially chosen by Teriaca for their great value.

In its collection of roughly 5,000 bottles, db Bistro Moderne focuses on vintners from Spain, France, and South America in order to “reflect the vibrant and diverse Miami culture,” says Leah Polinski, the restaurant’s assistant general manager. It also seeks out smaller and organic wineries and those that support sustainable practices. Recently, Polinski adds, the management decided to “increase the bottle culture in downtown Miami by offering over half of our list for under $100.” JW Marriott Marquis, 255 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami, 305-421-8800; dbbistro.com the ForGe

The Forge’s $3 million collection is maintained by sommelier Gino Santangelo, who has been in his post for 41 years. Three cellars surround a large wine room, which can be used for exclusive dinners of up to 25 people. Of its 29,000 bottles, the most expensive is an 1822 Château Lafite Rothschild: At $165,000, it’s one of the most valuable wines in the world. It’s not all about age here, though. The Forge also carries a wide range of New World varietals from California, including the first release from Robert Mondavi. “They are young,” says Santangelo, “but for the American industry, these wines are the best.” Not one to rest on its laurels, the restaurant recently installed a self-service Enomatic wine dispenser, which allows guests to select a variety of wines for one-, three-, and five-ounce tastings. 432 W. 41st St., Miami Beach, 305-538-8533; theforge.com

J&G Grill

J&G Grill offers an extensive selection of the world’s finest Champagnes, vintage wines, and bottles from “places most people probably never heard of as wine-producing countries, like Macedonia, Lebanon, and Slovenia,” says sommelier Nino Milenkovski. For curating a perfect wine collection, his philosophy is that “it is all about the juice in the bottle; it’s not all about ratings.” The luxurious hotel’s octagonal, all-glass, UV-protected wine vault is a sight to see, while the larger wine room serves as a sophisticated venue for sommelier-led tastings and private parties. St. Regis Bal Harbour, 9703 Collins Ave., 305-993-3300; jggrillmiami.com The Mansions & The esTaTes aT acqualina

Both the recently completed Mansions and the under-construction Estates of the über-luxe Acqualina project feature interactive wine lounges that offer personal temperature-controlled coolers for every resident, hand-blown wine goblets from glass artist Terje Lundaas, a sprawling wine room with furniture from Fendi Casa for group tastings, and, at the Estates, an oversize fireplace clad in Calacatta gold.

red, The sTea house

Red, the Steakhouse boasts a collection of 500 wines (including its own private label), all of them kept in a towering, centrally located wine cellar. In addition to the classics, chef Peter Vauthy loves to find “soon-to-be-cult wines, like Frankie Baroudi’s Puro Uno, which is taking high-end Malbecs to the next level,” he says. Vauthy insists that this kind of exploration is essential, as “the multicultural aspect of Miami demands that your wine list be both deep and broad in the selection.” He also believes wholeheartedly that wine enhances the flavor of foods: “Champagne and oysters should never be missed” and “a prime rib-eye with a stunning Napa Cabernet can set your steak alive.”

Zuma sets itself apart by offering not only a fabulous wine assortment, but an enviable sake collection, too, carefully chosen by head sake sommelier Sayoko Ieto. The team stocks the cellars with wines chosen for their ability to pair with current menu items, geographic and flavor-profile diversity, and quality for the price, with options ranging from $40 to $4,950. “What is most important to our team is that we select wines that appeal to the diversity of our clientele’s palate,” says assistant head sommelier Adrian Lopez. “This city is unique in that there is a vibrant international influence that gravitates towards adventurous flavor profiles.” Epic Hotel, 270 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami, 305-577-0277; zumarestaurant.com OD

MeaT Mar eT

With three consecutive Awards of Excellence from Wine Spectator, Meat Market is clearly invested in its wines. “We believe in having a dynamic list that’s always evolving, just like our menu,” says Sebastien Tribout, the restaurant’s director of operations. “Our guests are more and more wine-savvy and knowledgeable about their drink.” The Frenchman notes that Miami’s culinary rise has also solidified the city’s status as a first-class wine destination: “In every big city where you have great chefs and great restaurants, the wine selection follows. It is just part of the culinary culture back home!” 915 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, 305-532-0088; meatmarket.net qualiTy MeaTs

Quality Meats has one of the most finely tailored wine programs in the city. Sommelier Lewis Starkey takes a singular approach to his selections, famously offering bottles uniquely suited to the temperature of a diner’s entrée. “Everyone assumes that all red wine goes with steak, but something that is overlooked is how to pair a wine with beef cooked to the temperature of your liking,” he explains. The staff participates in daily tastings, Starkey adds, in order to “maintain a dedication to wine and spirit knowledge with a studious approach and respect to viticulture and vinification.” The Sommelier’s Bin—featuring “orphaned”

ZUMA VETERANS MICHAEL LEWIS AND STEVEN HAIGH OPEN WOOD-FIRED ASIAN GRILL KYU IN WYNWOOD. BY CARLA TORRES “We felt Wynwood needed something different,” says chef-partner Michael Lewis, who prior to opening Kyu with managing partner (and former Zuma colleague and general manager) Steven Haigh helmed the kitchen at Japanese izakaya Zuma and worked under the tutelage of Jean-Georges Vongerichten. If by “different” he means dishing out wildly fun and flavorful fare—things like roasted cauliflower and goat cheese slathered in shishito-herb vinaigrette; cloud-like pork buns; creamy yet dense burrata with yuzu marmalade; Thai stone-pot rice with chunks of king crab; smoked succulent duck breast; flawlessly tender Wagyu brisket; and sake-braised white beans with cilantro—in a chic setting, then Kyu is different indeed. Go with a group and eat your way through the whole menu or give up control and let Lewis take your taste buds on a six-course chef’s journey plus dessert (the coconut cake is everything). 251 NW 25th St., Miami, 786-577-0150; kyumiami.com OD

Award-winning actress and bona fide beauty Malin Akerman certainly knows how to make a show-stopping entrance, and her Ocean Drive March cover celebration was no exception. Akerman strutted down the red carpet in a glitzy Tracy Reese sequined cocktail dress and blue pumps while flashing her “billion”-dollar smile for a flurry of photographers and greeting frenzied fans before dancing her way into A-list nightclub Wall at the W South Beach. Although she’s been touted for her roles in megahit comedies, including Couples Retreat and The Heartbreak Kid, Akerman is pushing her acting boundaries with her latest role in Showtime’s financial drama series Billions. “I feel like in our lives, as well as in our careers, there’s a certain point where you feel like you need a bit of growth, where it becomes stagnant and you go, Okay, what’s the next step?” she told Ocean Drive. “And this felt like the right next step, to go into a different genre and new challenge.”

wasn’t able to make it to husband Dwyane Wade’s Miami Heat

Last night, game. As much as she likes to be courtside to cheer on him and his team, she loves that her other half understands her need to have Gabrielle her own life, too. “He appreciates my independence, and my high Union

credit score, and the fact that if I want a Chanel bag, I’m not asking for his Amex; I’ve got my own,” she says, letting out a loud laugh. If there’s one thing you need to know about Gabrielle Union, it’s that she’s a selfmade woman—always has been, always will be. And though she’s been a Hollywood star for a while now, she has never forgotten how to hustle. On a break from filming her hit BET show, Being Mary Jane, and still on a creative high from January’s Sundance Film Festival—where her movie The Birth of a Nation was sold for $17.5 million, the largest deal ever made at the festival—Union is chilling in jogging pants and a Bob Marley T-shirt, taking a much-needed, and seldom had, moment to relax. A former model and UCLA student with her eye on a law degree, Union is a rare breed. She was able to transition seamlessly from small roles in ensemble casts (as in her first big break, Saved by the Bell: The New Class, in 1996) to larger parts in teen staples like Sister, Sister and 7th Heaven and films like the cult favorite Bring It On and the rom-com Think Like a Man (and its sequel) to now, 20 years after her screen debut, the starring role. On Being Mary Jane, returning for its fourth season this fall, Union plays the title character, an ambitious cable news anchor—not your cookie-cutter female protagonist, but a woman who’s rather flawed, especially in the relationship department. “She’s challenging, complicated, messy,” Union says. “She progresses and regresses, which at times as a viewer is frustrating. One minute you’re rooting for her, the next you’re rooting against her.” Like her character, Union is anything but cookie-cutter. As a full-time wife and stepmom, she’s becoming much more choosy about the roles she’s willing to take. “For me to leave my home and my family, it has to be worth it,” she says. “I have to be touched and moved by the experience, the words, the story. I definitely can’t go back to cash grabs anymore.” According to Union, the most life-changing film of her career so far—in which she plays a small but pivotal part—is The Birth of a Nation, the true story of Nat Turner, who led a slave rebellion in Virginia in 1831. “Careerwise, it gets no better than this,” she says. “It’s by far the smallest role I’ve ever taken, but easily the most challenging and the most rewarding.” Union plays Esther, a married field slave who is sometimes called upon to work in the house. On one such occasion, she catches the eye of one of the plantation’s white guests. “He sees her and feels entitled to her body,” Union explains. “What happens to her is one of the things that sets in motion one of the most successful slave liberations in the history of our country. “I definitely didn’t want to be the chick from Bring It On to screw up this incredibly important, powerful film,” she continues. “I just really wanted to—not only as an actor, but as a sexual-assault victim myself—convey the powerlessness that one feels, the voicelessness, the terror, the heartbreak, the physical, emotional, spiritual devastation. This experience was extremely powerful and moving, and it happened at the right time in my life, when I needed to find more purpose in my work. And I found it.” This isn’t the first time that Union has spoken out about being raped at age 19, during a robbery at the store where she worked. She has lobbied for increased funding of rape crisis centers across the country and has testified before Congress about her experience. When she sees a problem, she’s not afraid to point it out, such as her recent criticism of Hollywood’s lack of diversity. “Half the time, [African Americans] don’t even get the opportunity to fail,” she says. “At least let me audition, so you can say I just wasn’t good enough, but most times black actors can’t even get in the door. The idea that the playing field has ever been equal is a farce. With leaps and bounds of advances, it’s still grossly unequal—and that goes for the Latino, Asian, Middle Eastern, and LGBT communities as well. We’ve made strides, but if Hollywood is really going to mirror the world that it’s catering to, we have a long, long way to go.” In fact, diversity in all its forms—racial, ethnic, musical, culinary—is the main reason that Union loves Miami so much. Even before marrying into basketball royalty,

she had been coming to the city for years, and she reminisces about how driving down Ocean Drive for the first time felt like being on an episode of Miami Vice. She also admits to “fangirling” over local sightings of icons such as Gloria Estefan, Madonna, and Jennifer Lopez. Now, of course, the tables have turned, with Union and Wade thrilling tourists when they’re spotted on double dates with the likes of John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Carmelo and La La Anthony, or Chris and Adrienne Bosh. Although Union is a Nebraska native, Miami has embraced her as one of its own, both inside AmericanAirlines Arena and out, perhaps because she was a follower of the game (and the Heat) long before her fateful first meeting with the star shooting guard at a Super Bowl party in 2007. And maybe it’s because she was a fan of the team before becoming a supportive wife that she finds it perfectly okay to heckle her husband after a particularly lame play. “Last night he took an incredibly bad shot,” she says. “It went off of the side of the backboard. It didn’t even come close to the net!” In the early stages of their romance, she was no less critical. The poor guy almost didn’t have a chance. Union can laugh about the fact that she once called Wade “a fetus” for being nine years her junior. When he was trying to court her, she “couldn’t take him seriously,” until one day “he finally wore me down,” she says with a laugh. “It was very When Harry Met Sally. One day I just thought, Oh, I guess you could be an option.” But even before falling madly in love and tying the knot, she says, there was always a friendship and a willingness to open up to each other. “If you have good, effective, honest communication, you can handle any issue or problem in a relationship. D is literally my best friend. We really, really enjoy spending time with each other more than anybody else. Well, with D, maybe I’m tied with LeBron! But I’m definitely his favorite female! If you have the chance to marry your best friend, I would highly recommend it.” Much like Brangelina, for Union and Wade—who were both married once before—his children played a big part in their marriage plans. “D and I could have gone on for a long time as boyfriend and girlfriend,” she says, “but the kids were the driving force in wanting us to be a legitimate, like, real—and I’m using my finger quotes—family in their eyes. We got on board with it, and it’s the best decision we could have made— not just for us as a couple, but for our family.” While running quick errands isn’t a problem for most Miami families, being out in public is still a bit too crazy for this team. “One of D’s favorite things to do as a family is go to Walmart,” Union confesses, adding that the family can be more anonymous in Los Angeles. “We really enjoy Walmart, Target, going to the grocery store. He loves to take the dogs to the car wash. He’s the guy with the Maltese at the car wash! But in Miami, it’s more challenging. He’d never make it through Walgreens. Although I have


attempted to send him for tampons, he won’t do it! Can you imagine?” Instead the family settles for quiet trips to the iPic Theater for a movie (“We go there and get dinner, and I have cocktails, and we relax and watch a movie. We saw Deadpool there and loved it!”) or dinner at Komodo (“Dave Grutman is a close longtime friend and always creates a fun, magical, fly environment, and the food is killer”) or MC K itchen (“This place is one of our staples. We are obsessed with Dena [Marino], the chef and owner, and the short rib is delicious!”). Back on the work front, Union has a busy slate ahead: In addition to doing promotion for the upcoming season of Being Mary Jane, she is adding fashion designer to her résumé. In February she inked a deal with the Hollywood, Florida–based watch company Invicta to create a collection for the brand, Gabrielle Union for Invicta, a collaboration that gives her another way to express her creativity and unique point of view, she says. “Fashion has been an important part of my career. It’s become such a fun outlet for expression.” Later in the year she’ll appear in the films Sleepless Night, alongside Jamie Foxx and Michelle Monaghan, and A Meyers Christmas, opposite Danny Glover. Out of the limelight, Union and Wade take turns playing good cop and bad cop to their kids. “We literally keep track,” she says. “There’s basically an imaginary chart: ‘I was bad cop last time; now it’s your turn. You have to be the jerk who doles out punishment for missed homework assignments or talking on the phone after curfew.’ With the older boys, they come to me with girl stuff, homework. Or if they’re trying to butter up dad, they definitely come to me to soften me up first. I’m the line of defense, I guess, before dad.” As they say, behind every great man is a great woman—and Union brings it on strong. OD

Young at art

Sarah ariSon As the granddaughter of Carnival Cruise Line founder Ted Arison, Sarah Arison, now president of the Arison Arts Foundation and the YoungArts 35th-anniversary chair, is seamlessly overseeing her grandparents’ passion while producing films on the side. Her documentary, The First Monday in May, opened NYC’s Tribeca Film Festival last month. What does your position at the Arison Arts Foundation mean to you? This is something that my grandparents created that was so important to them. It is absolutely vital to continue their vision of helping emerging artists across the country. Were you ever intimidated by the art world? One of the things I really try to focus on is taking the intimidation factor out of the arts. That’s something we’ve done really well at the New World Symphony with our Pulse program, which is later at night and cocktail style. It’s fun, social, easy, accessible, and yet you’re still being exposed to classical music and learning. Do you see a lot of gender inequality in the art world? It was for a very long time an “old boys’ club,” but I do feel there is a transition and that most of the people I know who are the greatest emerging collectors, the most knowledgeable, and the most productive, are women. What about for you personally running a large foundation? I had to prove myself. I also happen to be tall and blonde and have a very bubbly personality but would much rather pay my dues than be immediately accepted. Everybody should pay their dues. What do you think about the convergence of art and commerce? Artists who do something commercial might often be seen as “selling out,” [but] if you get an opportunity to do something commercial, do it. Then you can afford to pay the rent and do the work you are really passionate about. Your childhood is not what people might expect. Can you tell us about it? I spent 16 hours a day in the yard running around barefoot… My mom is a yoga instructor; she is always telling me to meditate or I’m going to have a heart attack.

Girl Power

Tracy Mourning Her tireless work with the Mourning Family Foundation—as well as being the founder of the Honey Shine Mentoring Program for girls—has made Tracy Mourning an inspirational dynamo. Can you point to a memory that created your calling to give back? As a teenager, a friend’s mom had taken me to see Alvin Ailey in Las Vegas, and it was her generosity of showing me something I’ve never seen before that opened my eyes. When did you decide to dedicate your life to philanthropy? I lived in South Florida when I was little; my mom cleaned houses and worked at the jail, and this amazing woman, Ms. Annie Lou Johnson, took care of me. When my husband’s [Miami Heat legend Alonzo Mourning] job brought us back here, I’d go visit her. I’d see groups of young girls walking around with no direction, babies on the hips, and I would think, Which one am I out of that group had it not been for my mom and the amazing women in my life? Is there one lesson in particular that you focus on with the girls? When our self-esteem is messed up, we make silly mistakes, silly decisions. I really focus on building self-esteem so they don’t have to rely on someone else telling them how special they are. Is it difficult for them to believe that message? It’s challenging because the images they see on TV and hear about in music don’t reflect what we talk about. It says something totally opposite—that they’re only worth what they look like. I don’t want them to think that that is OK. How do you handle the work/life balance? I include the kids because that’s what we are here for, to serve in some way, shape, or form. If they see that’s what life is about, hopefully they will grow into those individuals who want to make a difference, too.

The Idea Woman

Isabella acker The creative director of Prism Music Group, Isabella Acker is creating a new template for Miami with innovative community events that fuse the worlds of music, real estate, food, health, and art. How did you end up in this line of work? I was in artist management— working with Suenalo, Jacob Jeffries, Chris Cab—but we weren’t really making an impact on how to elevate the local music scene. We had to get involved in how to tell the message on local culture in general. What did you notice was missing in Miami? Miami has always been a nightlife gatekeeper. That doesn’t allow anyone who isn’t a part of those circles to experience those moments of culture or art the way it should be. How did you turn that corner? There wasn’t anybody cultivating or creating these curated experiences for the community locally. It was always only for “tastemakers” or “influencers.” Within the past year or two, “community” became cool—it’s all about the people who are engaged and authentically into the arts. Was there one turning point that helped you realize you were on the right track? The Miami Flea was definitely one of those—we had 4,000 people at the first one! Also, Wynwood Yard—we decided to do two special events a month that have now become an event series because of the feedback. How have the artists responded? The bands come to us and say, “We wait for your calls; it’s the only time we feel like people in Miami care about our music.” What is a cool, local band people should know about? Nu Deco Ensemble—they are doing Daft Punk, Radiohead. They are Miami’s 21st-century orchestra. Ponte side slit vest, Vince ($375). Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-351-0327; vince.com.

PhilanthroPy PhilosoPhy: “I think everybody feels familiar with community; there’s something that feels so humane and great about being around people and [having] the same like-minded interests.”


The Media Maven

AnA nAvArro As a successful female, Hispanic, Republican strategist and political commentator, Ana Navarro is an anomaly. The funny, outspoken CNN contributor made the 2016 election year her year. You started your career as a lawyer. How did you end up in media? It just happened. It’s very important to be aware and cognizant of the doors and opportunities that open to you. Was there one particular event that led you in this direction? I was in my third year of law school and Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA). It made tens of thousands of Nicaraguans and South Americans immediately deportable with no legal recourse. We ended up suing the immigration service and getting legislation passed called the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA). What do you love most about your job? You are getting paid to talk and give your opinions, something I would do for free. I love being able to exchange opinions with some of the sharpest political minds in the country. Do you feel your career climb was more difficult as a woman? I’m a woman, I’m Hispanic, I’m an immigrant, so I’m sure I’ve been discriminated against somehow, somewhere along the way. But I’ve really never stopped to let it bother me. A lot of political talk has been focused on the “Hispanic vote.” What are your views on this? The part that most people misunderstand about the Hispanic community and vote is that we [are not] one, homogenous group that engages in groupthink. There are important differences within the Hispanic community. What gives you the most hope in regards to the younger generation? I love speaking with college students because it’s so easy to become cynical in the political world, and young people are full of enthusiasm and want to make a difference.

A Life’s Work

Dr. Felicia Marie Knaul, PhD As the director of the Miami Institute for the Americas, a professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, founder of an NGO in Mexico, and a full-time advocate for cancer, the devoted activist (and new Magic City resident) Felicia Marie Knaul is already making our city a healthier place. You wear many hats. How do you manage your time? I live my work. A lot of the advocacy and research I do is around cancer, a disease that I also live with, and that actually makes time management easier. I’m pretty good at doing the elliptical, [checking] email, and reading papers at the same time. What was one defining moment of your career? Working for the Colombian government on the health reform with President [César] Gaviria. You study breast cancer in low-income societies. What do people need to know about this topic? One of my main projects is about access to pain control and palliative care, one of the world’s greatest unknown, hidden injustices. The war against illicit use of drugs has meant that we’ve kept particularly poor countries and poor people from accessing what they need. You recently came to UM from Harvard. What do you like most about Miami? There are wonderful, interesting things to do all the time—outdoors, art, theater... The whole Latin and Caribbean environment makes it incredibly interesting. You and your husband (University of Miami President Dr. Julio Frenk) both secured prominent positions at UM. Was that difficult? These moves are complicated, but the typical way that we have done it—and professional couples do it—is you consider whether or not there are two independent jobs available. Was it even more difficult as the woman in the equation? The real challenge here is that there is a glass ceiling that is hard to break through for women. Until there is equal paternity leave—and men are penalized if they don’t take their paternity leave—everybody is going to be taking maternity leave… What that means in the labor market is that it’s always costlier to hire a woman than a man. Dress and jewelry, Knaul’s own

PhilanthroPy PhilosoPhy: “My father was a Holocaust survivor who died at 60 from a concentration camp-related cancer. The thought that the only way to bring some kind of peace or justice to what our family had lived is what inspired me to think about the injustices that others around the world are facing.”

The Money Maker

Lucy MoriLLo As president and CEO of Miami Children’s Health Foundation, Lucy Morillo is tasked with supporting one of Miami’s largest employers, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, and since her arrival has helped the foundation increase its annual fundraising from $4 million per year to $71.5 million. What is one of your proudest accomplishments? The $60 million commitment from Barbara and Jack Nicklaus and the Nicklaus Foundation to support the mission of the hospital and the Together: For the Children campaign. As a token of our appreciation, we honored them by changing the name of the hospital [from Miami Children’s Hospital] to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. What are some of the outcomes of this campaign? There is an Advanced Pediatric Care Pavilion that we are erecting—a six-story building to take care of the critically ill children. One thing we don’t have is private family rooms for every child, and in order to remain competitive, we needed to reconfigure the hospital. What is unique about your management approach? Coming from my experience as an attorney, I run the organization as a business, not a not-forprofit. Also, being involved in the community has helped create awareness. It’s part of our big marketing strategy—as we give, we receive. Have you ever found leadership to be more difficult as a woman? People misjudge you as a woman in a position of power. I’m extremely intuitive and passionate. Don’t confuse my passion with emotion; as a businesswoman, I go for the gold. As a CEO and single mother, how do you handle the work/life balance? I have a very good support system. You need to be honest with yourself, and if you want to do this, you need the support. That doesn’t mean you are less of a parent; I have been with my son every step of the way. nicklauschildrens.org Dress, Jonathan Simkhai ($795).

In It to WIn It

Kinga Lampert Kinga Lampert is an inspirational activist who serves as cochair of the board of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, one of the largest private funders of breast-cancer research in the world. How did you get into philanthropy? I was practicing law in New York City when I met my husband. I put my career on hold to start a family, but I was always looking for a way to remain engaged and involved, and for my children to see me working and see me passionate about the work I do. What sets BCRF apart from other organizations? BCRF is the only A+-rated organization by Charity Watch in the field of breast cancer, which is sometimes viewed as a “sea of pink” and hard to differentiate one organization from another. If people do their homework and want to invest in an organization that’s fiscally responsible, this is it—91 cents out of every dollar that we raise goes directly to breast-cancer research. Can you discuss some of the research the organization has funded? BCRF has been involved in every single breakthrough in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in the field of breast cancer since it was founded in 1993. Last year, BCRF-funded research helped identify which patients can forgo chemotherapy altogether when diagnosed with breast cancer. Tell us about a recent BCRF accomplishment you’re proud of. In recent years we’ve focused our efforts on our website and social media, and fundraising that way. I wanted our website to be a source of information and to really focus on research. How will you bring the work of BCRF to Miami? Miami’s reputation as a leader in cancer research continues to grow, and the fact that I live in Miami now gives us a foothold in a market of strategic importance. bcrfcure.org Dress, Tory Burch ($495).

The News Keeper

Rudabeh Shahbazi Coanchor of the CBS4 evening news, Rudabeh Shahbazi was a large part of initiating the Mentoring Matters Big Brother/Big Sister program at CBS. Here, she talks about her career climb as well as life and news in the Magic City. Did you always want to work in TV journalism? I fell into the TV program during grad school at Berkeley, and for my internship, they sent me to Channel 2 in San Francisco. That was my first experience in a TV newsroom, and I fell in love with it. What’s one defining moment of your career? My first on-air job was in Washington State, which was a small market. Even though it’s not always easy, smaller markets teach you how to be scrappy, how to work your way up, to appreciate the things you have, and really get your feet wet. Did you ever feel your career climb was more difficult as a woman? I don’t think it was more difficult, but you see the huge paychecks going to the men more than the women. Is the work/life balance a challenge for you? Definitely. We have strange hours. We have to be ready to cancel plans to respond to whatever comes up. How has social media affected the way you work? We tap into that and use it as a resource from the community. It’s a good gauge to see what people are interested in by looking at what they respond to, what they’re talking about. You’ve been a reporter in many places. What do you find most unique about the Miami market? Anything to do with an alligator is new to me. [Laughs] How about the lifestyle here? I love it. It’s so densely packed with things to do, people to meet, and beautiful places to explore. And the news is always interesting. miami.cbslocal.com/ mentoring-matters OD Dress, Michael Kors Collection ($3,295). Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-864-4144; michaelkors. com.

Architects, And trendsetters oF MiAMi’s sophisticAted new look.

by marcelle sussman fischler

Once a pioneer in the Art Deco movement, Miami for decades was considered little more than a sunny spot for vacationers that was mired in pink flamingos and pastels. Lackluster buildings had small windows and narrow balconies. Design was decidedly tacky. Then Art Basel thrust the city into the global art and design limelight, bringing with it a discerning crowd of design aficionados. “Since the arrival of Art Basel, Miami has gone through 10 years of sophistication,” says Carlos Rosso, president of The Related Group’s condominium division. “Miami today is much more known around the world and a more desired destination, in part because of the association with art and design.” Now, the second annual Maison&Objet Americas further adds to that vibe, when the preeminent French decorative arts trade fair returns to Miami Beach this month. “Maison&Objet put us on the map as a destination for design,” says Paris-born, Coral Gables-based interior designer Charlotte Dunagan. Soaring, sophisticated new condo towers designed by world-famous starchitects blend art, architecture, and design while integrating public green spaces and infusing the natural beauty of Miami. Accompanied by a blossoming arts and culture scene, and prolific luxury-brand shopping, Miami’s sun-dappled, casual elegance is wooing a local and international mix of fashionistas and other connoisseurs of urban living. “Great designers have brought an eclectic, chic look,” says Design District interior designer Adriana Hoyos. “Miami is becoming a trendsetter to the world.” Translation? Adios, flamingos!

Home Is WHere tHe Art Is “Modernism is back with a vengeance, and the Medi­ terranean Revival style is on life­support,” says Miami­ based architect Max Strang. The casual yet urbane approach to living that South Florida homeowners seek calls for clean­lined, uncluttered modern homes that “enhance the outdoor lifestyle,” give interior and exterior spaces “equal respect,” and accommodate the changing climate. Walls of sliding glass doors provide “interconnec­ tivity with outdoor living areas”; zoned layouts create privacy for multigenerational living, while locally sourced Keystone and oolitic limestone “are often used as textural accents to an otherwise clean aesthetic,” says Strang. A room “should embrace the views outside and the per­ sonalities within, creating a feeling of being in a lush, tropical, glimmering water oasis,” says Paulo Bacchi, CEO of Artefacto USA, the high­end Brazilian furnish­ ings brand. Bamboo and rattan with “eco­friendly features and natural colors that connect us with our envi­ ronment” are in high demand in the Miami market. The bleached wood blocks in Artefacto’s Canyon line, which Bacchi nicknamed “Miami Beach Blocks,” can func­ tion as a table or stool depending on the orientation. From his first Artefacto collection for Miami, Jader Almeida’s modern Clad chair and Jardim tables are also favorites. And less is more in the world of furniture, says Steven Gurowitz of Interiors by Steven G. Porcelain flooring, LED lighting, and art are all hot, while moldings, reminis­ cent of Mediterranean or transitional styles, are out. “People want clean; they don’t want busy,” he says. “I enjoy mixing the old with the new Miami style, meaning we keep it light, but it has a twist,” says interior decorator Deborah Rosenberg, whose designs are fre­ quently eclectic, oftentimes featuring Artefacto’s “beautiful and calming” hanging Brazilian swing chairs. “I love throwing an old, beaten­up chair into a sleek Miami modern condo. A Miami look should have a beachy yet European feel to it.”

At Wynwood’s Iniva African Concept Boutique, functional ethnic­chic art includes colorful fiberglass stools and masks. Metal bookcases and drawers are crafted from recycled oil barrels. Tui Pranich, the architecture­trained international designer and owner of Tui in the Design District, prefers “clean, elegant, sophisticated design” using classical ele­ ments such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair or Corbusier’s chaise lounge. Says Pranich, “Good design should be long lasting.”

rAInboW ConneCtIon Colors that would be appropriate in Michael Wolk’s native New York don’t fly here. Instead of the more somber forest greens, burgundies, or plaids, Miami’s palette takes its hues from the sky, ocean, clouds, and the sun. “Those are happier colors,” says Wolk. Accent colors come from tropi­ cal fruits. Rather than layering to make a room warm and comfortable, “here you want it to be free and open.” “The cliché in Miami is that you should sell everything white,” says Roche Bobois’s US director of communica­ tions, Julien Bigan. But in Miami, “we hardly sell anything white. South Americans are very into colors and fabric to match.” Roche Bobois’s best seller for the last three years is the Mah Jong sofa, a brightly hued sectional with game tile­ like mix­and­match patterned fabrics. Black leather sofas are also popular. Lalique’s lighting and Art Deco­inspired furniture with modern lines and construction and exquisite materials and craftsmanship seems tailor­made for the Magic City, says Lalique CEO Maz Zouhairi.

reACHIng tHe sky You couldn’t count the cranes east of I­95 if you tried, but these aren’t your father’s buildings. Wealthy interna­ tional buyers and savvy New Yorkers are collecting trophy properties at places like the late Pritzker Prize­ winning architect Zaha Hadid’s sinuous, 63­story One Thousand Museum “as if it is a piece of art rather than a building,” says Gregg Covin, one of the developers. Drawn by the striking architecture, downtown environ­ ment, and cultural attractions like the neighboring Herzog & De Meuron­designed Pérez Art Museum Miami, “these wealthy global buyers expect a higher level of product than we had in the past in Miami.”


“Miami has changed its profile to that of a city of the arts, design, and architecture,” says Fortune International President and CEO Edgardo Defortuna, and it is “the perfect location to display the talents of world-renowned architects and designers. The current movement in architecture displays an artistic flair while allowing for a timeless, casual elegance.” With large undertakings from Brickell City Centre to Auberge Residences & Spa Miami on Biscayne and the Regalia in Sunny Isles (not to mention hundreds of other projects globally), Coconut Grove-based Arquitectonica’s bold modernism is synonymous with the renaissance in Miami’s urban landscape. Meanwhile, David Martin, president of Terra Group— the developer behind OMA Rem Koolhaas’s Park Grove in Coconut Grove and Renzo Piano’s 87 Park in North Beach—says new boutique-style projects are designed for the “place and location.” According to Martin, they are much more understated, with less environmental impact and more of a connection to nature. Set in a five-acre park, Park Grove has a palette that comes from the ocean, palm trees inspired its faceted concrete columns, and walls of glass maximize bay views. Says Martin, “It’s simple, elegant but with huge functionality and very strong details.” Cesar Pelli, the architect of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and the upcoming wide-shouldered Armani Casa tower, says the “new buildings reflect our changed aesthetic and take advantage of many technological developments. The new skyline enhances the image of the city, making it vibrant and very much of the 21st century.”

DesigneD to suit Like the shapes of these sculptural buildings, the fivestar-resort amenities prevalent in luxury hotels and residences are designed to meld subtropical landscapes with an urban setting. Luxe condominiums boast walls of

glass, high ceilings, open kitchens, expansive balconies with private pools and outdoor summer kitchens, private elevators, and commodious bathrooms with rain showers and separate soaking tubs. “Building features that emphasize how an individual lives, and relates to their surrounding environment, guide the design process,” Defortuna says of Miami’s new edifices, which are oriented to maximize views from all units, be it the ocean, the bay, or a cityscape. “Each project allows us to provide more than a home; it is a lifestyle.” Developers across Miami have “been trying to outdo each other,” says Gil Dezer, the president of Dezer Development, whose portfolio includes the cylindrical Porsche Tower, which features a statement-making glassenclosed car elevator that brings your roadster to a sky garage by your front door. Built in conjunction with The Related Group, Dezer’s upcoming Armani Casa skyscraper has interiors by global tastemaker Giorgio Armani, including an oceanfront fitness center, a spa with a Turkish hammam, an oceanfront restaurant, a cigar room, a movie theater, and a children’s playroom. Cascading gardens and a resort-style lagoon pool are just the start on the sleek amenity deck planned for Paramount Miami Worldcenter’s 60-story residential tower. It also includes soccer fields, a half-kilometer running course, two tennis courts, a boxing studio, yoga deck, and a “jam room.” Even in Miami, a fireplace in a welldesigned living or family room is a selling point, although a television above the mantel is a no-no, says Ricardo Britto of Britto Design Studio. “A digital-free living room which will allow more family time and interaction is a must.” Driving the demand is the expanding trend of families and new residents making South Florida their new home every day. To accommodate them, in the coming years, 132 new buildings with more than 13,700 units are scheduled to go up. And with each new interior and exterior design, they will continue to shape an ever-evolving Miami style. oD

saving face

by mandi norwood Still-life photography by Jeff Crawford

According to a recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, if you haven’t struck it rich by the age of 35, it’s probably never going to happen. Not so with skin. For, regardless of good genes, UVA avoidance, and copious consumption of water, the vast majority of us will have a wealth of wrinkles by 35. No wonder the beauty industry reports an explosion of activity in antiaging products among consumers 35 and up. Offering salvation from the finest lines to the deepest crevices, “the age-specialist category,” says retail analyst Karen Grant of the NPD Group, “showed a 20 percent increase in 2015, the main growth coming from women over 35 who are buying and replenishing their products online.” And by all accounts, they’re buying in bulk. The US skincare market is

worth $5.2 billion. Almost half of that—$2.3 billion—is spent on prestige antiaging facial skincare, high-end products that offer high-tech hope of younger-looking skin for longer. “It has become almost like the cell phone industry, where each year there’s new technology and advancements,” says Grant. “It used to be that products were all-in-one—they were trying to do everything. Today, leading brands in antiaging offer products that are targeted to specific areas, whether it’s plumping and hydrating or focusing on fine lines and wrinkles.” Dr. Alexa Kimball, a professor of dermatology at Harvard, says, “It can be challenging for consumers to find the best products for their skin. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get results, but concentrations of ingredients matter, and formulations

matter.” She lists retinoids, alpha hydroxy acid, and salicylic acid as important for cell turnover, and moisturizers to boost the skin’s moisture barrier, which is depleted as we age, especially after menopause, causing dryness and dullness. Whichever products we choose, Kimball urges us to manage our expectations. “It is not realistic to expect to look 20 years younger.” However, she says, “you can start to see a real effect on fine wrinkles in a week, and by 12 weeks, detectable changes are valid.”

CHANEL | SubLimagE Claims: Infinite regeneration, thanks to the key ingredient, vanilla planifolia, a botanical from Madagascar. The fruit and flowers are handpicked between April and May, then shipped to the Chanel Research and Technology Center, just outside of Paris, for a purification process known as Chrono-Extraction. This produces the most potent of active molecules, known as Éphémères de Planifolia, which are responsible for boosting the enzymes proven to help skin regenerate and look younger. chanel.com Our tester reports: “I tend not to associate Chanel with high-tech skincare. Fragrances, cosmetics, body creams, absolutely. But rigorous research and development, unique purification technology, and rare and potent natural botanicals (sustainably cultivated, too)? “Chanel’s commitment to being a top player in the antiaging category is manifested in Sublimage. It’s a fantastic range of products. As well as the luxury of the delicious fragrance, the rich bronze packaging, and the custard-thick indulgent textures, it actually works. “Yes, after four weeks of religiously using the products, I noticed my skin had a smoother, plumper, bouncier texture, which meant wrinkles and fine lines were less obvious, my makeup looked and felt better… heck, I didn’t even need as much makeup. “Sublimage is a beautiful skincare experience. And to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Chanel has launched three new densities of the cornerstone product, La Crème, each inspired by fabrics. For my dry skin, I preferred the

LA MER Claims: Profound powers of skin transformation, derived from potent, highly active ingredients—like nutrient-rich algae, protective antioxidant extracts, and semiprecious stones— through a unique three- to four-month bio-fermentation process. La Mer was created by Dr. Max Huber, an aerospace scientist, following an accident that left him with severe chemical burns for which he could find no relief. cremedelamer.com Our tester reports: “In the first week of the testing, the Renewal Oil (which goes on first) and brand-new Genaissance de la Mer created a noticeable texture difference to my skin. The Renewal Oil immediately absorbed, and the Genaissance was simply magnificent, making my face feel fresh and energized. After the second week of using them together, I saw small lines disappear and the whole of my face felt a bit fuller and livelier. Then, with every week, I noticed more softness, brightness, and an alert appearance. “One of the most refreshing aspects of the regime was the Lifting Eye Serum, which was gentle yet packed a punch. After only one week, the skin around my eyes was noticeably firmer and brighter, and more youthful, especially in the areas where I was collecting crow’s-feet. After three weeks, the evening’s application of serum came to feel like a mini-facial for my eyes. “After day-and-night usage over six weeks, my face carried a natural suppleness, smoothness, even tone, and brightness that did not exist prior. My makeup also began to look so much better, more natural. And the fine lines that always seemed to peer through my foundation? Gone. Overall, my skin is much happier!”

SISLEY | SISLEÿA Claims: This iconic product range aims to tackle behavioral aging (also called epigenetic) as well as genetic aging. Stress, sun, pollution, too much partying… all of these external factors cause a “jamming” of the skin cells’ life cycle and reduce the skin’s ability to repair and renew itself. New, powerful active ingredients, such as Lindera extract, Persian acacia extract, and yeast and soya protein complex, are said to help restore the cellular cycle’s functioning mechanisms. sisley-paris.com Our tester reports: “With its roots in the country that coined the phrase ‘femme fatale’ and its three-generationsdeep reputation as the go-to skincare provider for some of the most beautiful women in the world, it’s no surprise that my Sisley Paris antiaging regime delivered results that can only be described as très bien! “Following a simple four-part plan, these new high-tech products were easily integrated into my daily routine. I began to look forward to the nostalgic fragrance each morning when applying the Sisleÿa Essential Skin Care Lotion. With the lotion quickly absorbed into the skin, my face immediately felt more nourished. Despite the ultramodern plant-based formulations, the serum happily felt decidedly natural. Soon it was a favorite must-have, one I began to pack in my handbag for quick midday or in-flight hydration. “The Daily Line Reducer, while its scent was reminiscent of a self-tanner, packed the biggest and most surprising wallop of the four products. Used liberally on my décolletage, fine lines and wrinkles were visibly minimized in just three days—even without my glasses! It’s as close to a miracle product as I’ve ever experienced. “The Eye & Lip Contour Cream and brand-new L’Intégral Anti-Age moisturizer delivered a hydrated, firmer skin texture, with results peaking at about three weeks. While a bit heavy for daytime use, generous evening applications of the duo-moisturizers on my notoriously dry skin delivered a déjà vu of sorts from 10 years earlier.”


brand:

DIOR | Capture totale Claims: Intense correction of all visible signs of aging, acting upon stem cells at the heart of the skin. Discovered in Madagascar 20 years ago by Dior ethnobotanists, Longoza is the antiaging “jewel” in Capture Totale’s ingredients. The brand’s scientists claim it has exceptional regenerative powers on skin cells. dior.com Our tester reports: “If you have dry skin, fine lines, and volume loss, I would highly recommend Dior Capture Totale. And I don’t say this lightly. Relying until now on good genes—and being lazy to boot—I wasn’t looking forward to using a regimen of products, but I grew to love the structure of the routine. And the products are gorgeous. “Within just two to three weeks, I saw a huge improvement in my skin. I had never used a morning routine, mistakenly believing skin needed a few hours to absorb moisturizers. But the lightness of the Crème MultiPerfection Texture Universelle hydrated my skin without greasiness, allowing me to use less concealer and foundation and rendering my lines—especially those annoying ones around the mouth—less noticeable. I realized I was now repairing my skin rather than having to apply more makeup to conceal its shortcomings. I was floored by the lightness of the products, and yet as soon as I applied them, I could feel them starting to work. I did not lose dark spots, but by week five, my skin definitely felt firmer and far less dry. “These days, makeup is less essential for me, as my skin is well hydrated and my tone is more even. I especially love Dream Skin, which I began to use as an around-the-eye brightener but now use all over. It’s neither a tint nor a moisturizer, and yet the dreamy lotion gives my face a radiant glow.”

Skin Caviar Foundation ($215 for 1 oz.) Liquid Lift ($525 for 1 oz.) Luxe Cream Sheer ($430 for 1.7 oz.) Luxe Eye Lift Cream ($325 for 0.68 oz.)

Claims: Pure caviar extract is packed with amino acids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals and tested to profoundly improve the skin’s appearance of firmness, elasticity, and tone. Formerly the caviar extract was sourced from wild sturgeon, long believed to offer the highest quality available. Now La Prairie has discovered an alternative high-quality source in the Baerli sturgeon, grown sustainably on aqua-farms. laprairie.com Our tester reports: “The La Prairie experience is a 10 out of 10. The first step, the Liquid Lift, goes on easily and only requires a small amount—one to two short pumps—to cover your face and neck. It’s a nice light layer, preparing skin for the next step, the Luxe Cream and Eye Lift, which provides a really luxurious layer of moisture and which absorbs nicely. While these are among the priciest of products I have tried, I use far less, so they will last much longer. “After four weeks of using the products, someone in my office asked me if I had work done! My fine lines are reduced, and the overall look of my skin is great. I am going to be 50 this year and have never had any kind of fillers or Botox, so the fact is, someone noticed the positive effects of La Prairie enough to ask me if I did anything! “Finally, the Skin Caviar Foundation is exceptional. One or two small dabs give just the right coverage to reduce redness and age spots and leave my skin looking smooth, radiant, and even-toned. It’s the best I have ever used—hands down. “My husband, who now knows that I have been in a trial, says he notices a change and says I look refreshed and youthful. He said I should keep doing the routine! Those were his words, not mine.” OD

North Beach Rising DaviD Martin anD terra Group’s eiGhty seven park are leaDinG the rejuvenation of a once sleepy part of town. by robyn a. friedman

When you think about Miami Beach, what comes to mind—iconic Art Deco landmarks? Shopping on Lincoln Road? You probably never gave a thought to the emerging neighborhood of North Beach, the northernmost section of the city, which extends from 63rd Street to the south to 87th Street to the north. But perhaps you should. Like the Design District, Wynwood, and now downtown and Brickell, the North Beach neighborhood is ready to kick off new development. First up is Eighty Seven Park, under development by Terra Group, led by Pedro and David Martin. Founded in 2001, Terra has been involved in all facets of residential and commercial development. Its portfolio includes luxury high-rises,

single-family homes, shopping centers, office space, and apartments across South Florida. “We felt that the neighborhood was ripe,” says David Martin, Terra’s president. “We saw a trend where more of our buyers were interested in being further north, where it’s a little more tranquil, less touristy, and more family-oriented.” The beachfront Eighty Seven Park, at 8701 Collins Avenue, consists of 70 units ranging from 1,400 to 7,000 square feet. It’s the first residential project in the western hemisphere by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, whose vision was to create a coastal sanctuary that enhances the green space of the neighboring 35-acre North Shore Park. continued on page 194

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, the 18-story Eighty Seven Park seems to be “suspended between the park, the trees, and the ocean.”

North Beach’s neighbors are brimming with action: Bal HarBour SHopS: the famed Bal harbour Shops is slated for a $400 million enhancement plan that includes widening the sidewalks surrounding the property, installing a new canopy and landscaping along collins avenue and 96th Street, and replacing some of the opaque exterior walls with transparent ones to encourage window-shopping and invite in passers-by. among the shopping upgrades is the arrival of florida’s first flagship Barneys new york— including the famed freds at Barneys restaurant. 9700 Collins Ave., 305-866-0311; balharbourshops.com

“It’s an amazing site,” says Antoine Chaaya, a partner in Renzo Piano Building Workshop, which is based in Paris. “The site is almost suspended between the park, the trees, and the ocean.” “North Beach has been the hole in the doughnut, meaning that a tremendous amount of development took place in South Beach and a lot of development in Sunny Isles Beach

and Surfside,” says Craig Studnicky, cofounder of ISG World, a real estate sales and marketing firm. “It seems like the natural progression would now be to North Beach.” NoBe may be Miami Beach’s final frontier, but not for long. According to One Sotheby’s International Realty, the average price per square foot of waterfront condominiums increased 79 percent between 2011 and 2015, from $638 to $1,143. And several new projects are creating a buzz that’s attracting new buyers to the neighborhood. Construction is now underway at Eighty Seven Park, slated for completion in mid-2018. Prices currently range from the low $2 millions to $15 million, excluding the penthouse, which has not been listed yet, Martin says. The 18-story building features private gardens, concierge and butler services, an Enoteca, two oceanfront pools with cabanas, a library, a full-service salon and spa, a Fugo Bar offering cold-pressed juices and organic food, a children’s playroom, and a private park. The lobby at Eighty Seven Park will be a lush tropical environment that acts as an indoor botanical garden, complete with an inhouse botanist. Units will have expansive open-floor layouts, natural oak or stone flooring, RDAI custom-designed cabinetry, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, Zucchetti fixtures, and Electrolux washers and dryers. “Eighty Seven Park has redefined luxury condo living in the North Beach neighborhood,” says Jay Parker, chief executive officer of Douglas Elliman’s continuEd on PagE 196

North Shore Park, adjacent to Eighty Seven Park, will ultimately be revitalized as well. The plans call for playgrounds, pedestrian beach access, walkways, lighting, and an ocean rescue facility. Martin is also planning additional development on a lot he owns near Eighty Seven Park, between Collins and Harding Avenues. He’s currently leaning toward a commercial project with “unique retailers.” “I’m bullish on Miami,” he says. “I think there will always be a market because there’s huge interest by people wanting to be here.

Form & Function New to the market, the Auberge residences & spA MiAMi briNgs iN world-class desigNers aNd top-tier ameNities. by marcelle sussman fischler Not only does the distinctive glass-balconied, angled façade of the ultra-luxe Auberge Residences & Spa Miami add a “perfect pitch” to the downtown arts district, but its interior spaces are setting a new standard for an already elevated real estate market. The latest Related Group tower boasts 290 luxury condominium units and 90 fully furnished designer suites managed by Auberge Resorts, as well as interiors by top Italian designer Piero Lissoni, museum-worthy artwork by Fernando Botero and Jaume Plensa, a Napa Valley-inspired restaurant, an unparalleled wine program, and exceptional amenities. Here, Mark Harmon, managing partner of Auberge Resorts Collection, and Carlos Rosso, president of The Related Group’s Condominium Development Division, give insight into this new project. Why did you bring the Auberge brand to the Miami market? Mark Harmon: We always wanted to be in Miami—it’s an international city that has the best of all worlds, beautiful beaches, and lots of culture. Most of our properties are in resort locations. We were excited to be brought into the transformation of the downtown arts district and to get into the fabric of city life. Carlos Rosso: The area around the Arsht Center continues to grow; we are very bullish for that location. [At Auberge, residents] have a unique amenity: Instead of coming down from the apartment and going to the gym, you go to the opera—not that they are mutually exclusive. A brand like Auberge is the epitome of great wine and great food. You have a beautiful restaurant designed by Meyer Davis. What does designer Piero Lissoni add to the project? MH: His sense of style and contemporary approach. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with Piero Lissoni, one of the top designers and architects in the world. We focus on creating great spaces and exceptional design, and we are putting together a world-class team, with Piero and landscape architect Enzo Enea. What amenities will make Auberge stand out? MH: What will distinguish this property is our tradition of hospitality and service, the Auberge restaurant, a wine program that is well known, and the spa. The Auberge spa is known for great experiences, relaxing and invigorating. The restaurant, a dramatic space on the ground floor, will be a wonderful place to come to celebrate or go before a performance. It’s eclectic; it’s the California approach to good foods and great wines, cuisine that draws from the freshest ingredients. Tell us more about the Auberge wine program. MH: Because the company has such a toehold in Napa Valley and such long relationships of many decades with winemakers in that area, as well as elsewhere in the world, there are opportunities to procure wines they might not otherwise be able to get. We listen carefully to our guests and handcraft programs to bring wines that will delight and surprise them. With so many buildings going up in Miami, what sets the project apart design-wise? MH: The design is striking with the beautiful curved balconies, the dramatic pool deck on the 12th floor, the rooftop deck, and the artwork coming from world-class artists. [Together,] the pools, the spa, the fitness, the views, and the balconies combine to make an exceptional experience. CR: It is a condominium that has the resort feeling. It’s resort living in the middle of the city surrounded by culture and great views and its own beach club (on Key Biscayne).

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

PHOTOGRAPHY BY CRAIG DENIS

AFTER TWO DECADES OF BUILDING PREMIER RESIDENTIAL AND RETAIL STRUCTURES, DEVELOPER BARRY BRODS IS RAISING THE BAR IN MIAMI BEACH WITH A TURNKEY MANSION BOASTING UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL AMENITIES. BY MARCELLE SUSSMAN FISCHLER

Barry Brodsky’s 12-year-old twins, Aaron and William, can’t wait to try out the water slide. It’s not their water slide, but since it descends from a second-floor perch into the swimming pool of the 18,679-square-foot mansion that their dad, a luxury home builder, constructed on spec along Indian Creek Canal in Miami Beach, they certainly get first dibs on testing it. “It’s like a concrete sculpture hidden by stairs,” says Brodsky. “It is an over-the-top experience, but placed tastefully in a corner.” And it’s all part of the fun. The pool also features a built-in volleyball court and a basketball section. A hot tub and a barbecue area are on the entertainment terrace nearby. Water cascades from a fountain over the cabana roof, providing a dramatic privacy screen.

The amenity-laden seven-bedroom, eight-full- and two-half-bath architectural fantasyland is one of a pair of mansions with private docks that Brodsky, the founder and owner of Brodson Construction, is building on neighboring one-acre lots on Pine Tree Drive. Both have views over a Miami Beach park to the Atlantic Ocean. Says Brodsky, “We’re trying to infuse tremendous design elements that can still be comfortable in a residential setting.” This particular house, with all of its rare luxuries—including furniture by Artefacto—also has some “only in Miami” qualities. “When building a home of this caliber, your target audience is used to a certain CONTINUED ON PAGE 202

level and/or lifestyle,” Brodsky says. “If they buy a house in Miami Beach, many times they want to be able to use it for that year’s season. Everyone wants instant gratification. Why wait for tomorrow when you can do something today? It’s a carpe diem mentality.” Like the fancy boutiques that Brodsky builds for brands such as Harry Winston, Roberto Cavalli, and Tory Burch, the mansion features lights hidden in alcoves and invisible air-conditioning diffusers. Exterior perforated metal screens provide privacy and shade. A double-story central atrium soars through the interior, and the marble baths “are done to the nines,” he says. “The fact that this is a spec home only makes us lend our soul to the home while it’s being built.” Brodsky has studied kabbalah and meditation, which has helped him understand the need to “add warmth and soul to make a house a home,” he explains. “I try to visualize a buyer living in the home, and I design the home to be livable.” For Brodsky, the aim is always “to exceed expectations,” and the $7 million-plus homes he builds, 10 at a time, and his other world-class residences, like Robert Wennett’s penthouse at 1111 Lincoln Road, regularly meet that goal. Brodsky also constructs some 70 stores and restaurants a year, from Bal Harbour to Chicago. He graduated from college with a degree in accounting, but instead of pursuing that field, he partnered with his father to launch a construction business. “It was the most natural thing I had ever done,” Brodsky says. He started at the bottom, apprenticing with electricians and plumbers. “I never achieved technical expertise, but I knew how to hang drywall.” Eventually he began working on homes built on a grander scale.

The pool features a water slide from the secondfloor terrace. “It’s an over-the-top experience,” Brodsky says,“but placed tastefully in a corner.”

It’s the latest example of a real estate trend sweeping across South Florida: homes that are RTMI, or ready to move in, upon purchase. At 4555 Pine Tree Drive, the interior and exterior spaces are already fully furnished; they include pieces from Artefacto’s new Arte | 5 collection, featuring organic woods, neutral linens, and handmade details, as well as custom items designed for the home by Bacchi. The entire furniture package is available for $1.3 million, on top of the home’s $34 million asking price. “Artefacto’s designs have great appeal with international buyers who appreciate our quality and Walls of glass flood the elegant formal dining area with tropical sunlight.

compound. A multipurpose complex on the property’s street side can become a half basketball court, an art gallery, a gym (with a spa bath and an area for a massage table), or a garage for eight to 12 cars, depending on the buyer’s preference. “Most of my spec homes are a labor of love for me,” Brodsky says. “In the next five years, the landscape of Miami is going to change drastically—in a good way. It made me stop and think

about how the city deserves world-class architecture, not only in the commercial development, but the homes we build as well. That is why we took the perspective of going outside the box looking for greatness. This home hopefully becomes part of the narrative of how Miami is doing great things. I would say the term ‘so Miami’ is evolving, just like the city itself.” 4555 Pine Tree Dr.; brodsonconstruction.com OD

EMINENT DOMAIN Shop Talk Jeff and Michael Guanche focus on form as well as function at their Decorator’s Plumbing showroom in the Design District.

Water World MiaMi natives Michael and Jeff Guanche Make it their business to craft the Most beautiful baths in luxury hoMes and resorts in south florida—and beyond. by jean nayar

206  oceandrive.com

more than a hundred European, Asian, and US brands, such as Duravit, Dornbracht, Kohler, and Villeroy & Boch, to name a few, the Guanches aim to have every plumbing and hardware detail covered. The brothers also stay up to date on everything from preprogrammed water temperature controls and jet massaging foot baths to fresh takes on crystal drawer pulls and tubs made of statuary marble. Says Jeff, “Our clients depend on us to know what’s new in the luxury plumbing and hardware world.” While many of today’s luxury baths now include such indulgences, the latest retreats are hardly the exclusive domain of sybarites. An increased emphasis on health and wellness—as well as eco-friendly design—has shifted the perception of a well-appointed bath from an extravagance to an essential for hygiene and well-being. So fittings and fixtures with elements like filtration systems, pulsed jets, and water-conservation features are becoming standard ingredients in the luxury bath mix. “Bathrooms have become more than function,” says Jeff. “They have become a reflection of their owners’ personality and style.” 3612 NE Second Ave., Miami, 305-576-0022; decoratorsplumbing.com OD

Details, Details Always on the lookout for what’s next, Jeff and Michael Guanche say these three trends stand out now: Fresh Finishes:

“Warm metal finishes are on trend,” says Michael. “Brushed brass and matte black have been the top sellers.” Wet rooms:

“A wet room is basically a shower room that does away with the shower screen and tray and has an open, fully tiled shower area,” says Jeff. “The wet room also can have a tub, making the room totally wet.” old-school style, neW technology:

“Freestanding soaking tubs and electronic toilets/bidets are also very hot right now,” says Michael.

As designers and developers continue to raise the bar on new luxury dwellings in Miami, much of their attention in upping the quality quotient now focuses on creating spa-inspired baths. Locally, those aiming to craft the sweetest retreats often rely on the savvy and skill of Michael and Jeff Guanche to help them pull off these spaces with up-to-the-minute finesse. The brothers have spent the past two decades bringing together a vast and thorough selection of fine fixtures, fittings, and hardware for luxury baths in their 3,000-squarefoot showroom in the Design District—and in the process have become a favored source for high-profile professionals working on high-end projects. “Since Miami has sophisticated home buyers from all over the world, consumers know good quality and design, so the lines we carry at our showroom are the best of the best,” says Michael, who has been running Decorator’s Plumbing, a freestanding three-story showroom/boutique, with his brother, Jeff, since joining their parents’ business full-time in 2006. Their offerings include everything from rain shower heads, body sprays, specialty sinks, and towel bars to vanities, bidets, steam heads, and sculpted tubs. Representing

Monasterio. He developed new techniques in both aesthetics and craniofacial surgery early in his career. He followed his fellowship spending individualized time with the worlds masters in Western Europe, Central and South America before returning home to Miami to develop what has become his brand: individualized, aesthetically tuned and artful interventions. When asked why there are so many of these strange faces around, Dr. Maercks replies “its all about the money.” “Most practitioners rely on marketing and social networking to develop a name and try to run a business. They may or may not be well trained but most practitioners out there have never really taken time to reflect on or understand aesthetics.”

Plastic Surgery, About Face! In a time when we see the most disastrous looking faces and bodies on celebrities, the wealthy and social elite, a new direction and art is being forged by one of the newest faces of excellence in Miami. Glance through the social photography in society magazines of Miami, Los Angeles and New York or just turn on the television and you may find unnatural distorted and age indeterminate faces and bodies. Well, about face, the polar opposite is being artfully delivered at one of the most elite plastic surgery practices in America.

Dr. Maercks’ interventions are incredibly disparate from mainstream procedures. He has basically created a new language with which to communicate with patients. ‘Aesthetic Facial Balancing’ is what Maercks calls his technique for volumetric restoration of the face. This means that with either hyaluronic acid or the body’s own natural fat, Dr. Maercks uses his artistic insights to create shapes and patterns that are immediately recognized by the perceiver’s brain as beautiful, young and happy. Do not go to the Maercks Institute and ask for a naso-labial fold fill or a lip plump up unless you want to hear a deconstruction of aesthetics and current concepts and an education on facial subunits and the psychophysiology of perception. No joke, this fine artist turned philosopher turned plastic surgeon is proud of both his concepts and results, rightfully so. Patients who receive Maercks’ Aesthetic Facial Balancing look untouched and completely natural, sometimes spouses are left wondering why their partner has such a glow and appears well rested and happy. What is the secret? “Observation, judgement, aesthetic understanding and respect for nuance, even the tiniest” Maercks replies.

At The Maercks Institute, Dr. Maercks provides full spectrum face breast and body care from noninvasive energy “Patients who receive Maercks’ interventions to facelifts breast lift and augmentation. He Aesthetic Facial Balancing is also becoming the go to name for revising unaesthetic look untouched and completely breast augmentations with his devastatingly beautiful ColdSubfascial™ breast augmentations and revisions that often natural, sometimes spouses are appear more natural than the patients original untouched left wondering why their partner form. What’s missing at the Maercks Institute? That’s easy- there is no marketing of heavily advertised products has such a glow and appears or devices, most of which Dr. Maercks will explain should well rested and happy.” be avoided at all cost. There is no nurse consultant guiding you through surgical options and no para-practitioners delivering care. With Dr. Maercks patients simply get the undivided attention Dr. Maercks had the distinguished honor of being the last fellow to receive of an incredible physician with both the talent and dedication to make his mentorship from the great and now late, Fernando Ortiz-Monasterio. Dr. patients shine. Ortiz-Monasterio was one of the fathers of modern craniofacial surgery and aesthetics. The thoughts and ideals of the great FOM, as he is affectionately Dr. Rian A. Maercks offers limited private consultations at The Maercks Institute, 4500 called, are carried on in the art that Dr. Maercks has developed. Maercks’ Biscayne Boulevard Suite 104, in Miami’s beautiful Design District by appointment hunger for elite skills and training began long before his time with Ortiz- only. For scheduling contact (305) 328-8256 or Dr.Rian@RianMaercksMD.com. Dr. Rian A. Maercks, the founder and sole practitioner of The Maercks Institute Miami, is turning things around for those lucky enough to know about his work. Maercks, a Miami native, sought out the best experience and training internationally and stateside to return with a novel concept of plastic surgery that is foreign to most interventions and practices today. “From the instant I opened my first office I knew the practice would be about the individual patient and everything had to be art.” Unfortunately the role of aesthetics, artistry and a doctorly role have little place in todays “fast-food plastic surgery” world.

Dr. Maercks conducts exclusive private consultations at The Maercks Institute located just outside of Miami’s bustling Design District. Scheduling can be arranged by contacting through www.RianMaercksMD.com or calling (305) 328-8256.
