EMILY HAMPSHIRE HAS CREATED AN ALTER EGO FOR HERSELF IN HER FIRST GRAPHIC NOVEL, AMELIA AIERWOOD, BASIC WITCH . IN THE PROCESS, SHE DISCOVERED SOMETHING TRULY MAGICAL: SELF-ACCEPTANCE.

“WHEN YOU FINALLY FIND YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU JUST FEEL SO CONFIDENT. AND THAT’S THE REAL MAGIC, I GUESS.”

SUIT & SHIRT: Alexander McQueen EARRINGS, BRACELET & RINGS: Pomellato

y favorite film quote of all time is from Adam McKay’s Step Brothers. Dr. Robert Doback has done the responsible thing his entire life. His 40-year-old son, Dale, has done the opposite, living at home like a lazy, entitled leech, but is attempting to adult when his dad imparts the following words of wisdom: “Don’t lose your dinosaur.” What he means is, don’t lose your childlike wonder — it makes you you. I lost mine, and I regret it. This is what is going through my head when I sit down with actor Emily Hampshire at The Beverly Hilton on a late-January afternoon.

Maybe it’s because she’s wearing a whimsical Babar the elephant T-shirt and carrying a matching bag, or that her chopped pixie cut makes her look mischievous; almost elfin. It could be because she talks fast and with excitement. Maybe it is all these things, including the fact that she has just told me that she bought herself an “Olympic-sized” trampoline (currently netless and only safe for bouncing in her backyard) and has always secretly wanted to swim in a pool full of Jell-O. This is a woman who definitely has zero intention of ever losing her dinosaur.

The trampoline is a way to let herself, at 41 (and her inner kid), run amok. As is the Jell-O, though alas, she hasn’t figured out a way of making that happen … yet. But the important thing is that she’s written her Jell-O wish down. Therefore, this desire is out there in the universe. Now it just takes some serious manifestation (and a ton of gelatin) to make her dream come true.

But if she herself can’t go buck wild bouncing around in flavored goo, at least her alter ego, Amelia Aierwood — a basic witch who also happens to be the protagonist of her first graphic novel, releasing April 11 — will be living her best life. “I do feel like my authentic self is very ‘kid-core,’” Hampshire admits. (She invented that word, FYI, and I’m here for it.) “I think that’s especially what I see in Amelia. I wrote that for my younger self, and also my now self, who still wants a Jell-O pool and wants to live in a playhouse. I don’t know that I ever really grew up.”

Personally, I don’t feel like she needs to. (Grow up, that is. Clearly, I haven’t lost my dinosaur, either.) But it’s great that she’s able to give herself an escape from being Emily Hampshire, hardworking and tenacious Hollywood star, and get lost in her own imagination without shame or consequence. And she owes it all to a former agent, who left that career to pursue his dinosaur dream of working in comics. John Domingos believed that Hampshire had a comic in her, and when he landed at Z2 Comics — a platform that predominantly helps musicians (including Gorillaz, Yungblud, and Sturgill Simpson) tell their stories through graphic novels — he presented her with an opportunity that she jumped on instantly … no trampoline necessary.

But what to write? Believe it or not — especially for a woman best known for playing smart, caustic Schitt’s Creek firecracker Stevie Budd — inspiration came from a very unexpected place … none other than Keeping Up With the

Kardashians. And as anyone who has watched Schitt’s knows, Stevie is totally the anti-Kardashian.

“I was like, I just want to think of a great idea, and it just kind of came to me. I was watching the Kardashians — it was an accidental kind of thing — and I was like, Imagine if I was a Kardashian, if I was just born into that family. I would be the worst Kardashian. I would be so bad at it. And so I was like, What if the worst witch in the world was born into the most famous magical celebrity family? The Aierwoods are basically the Kardashians of the witch world, and Amelia is the black sheep. She’s shit at magic,” Hampshire explains with a smile.

From this fledgling idea, Hampshire — along with co-writer Eliot Rahal (of Machine Gun Kelly’s Hotel Diablo and Cheech & Chong’s Chronicles) brought Amelia’s world to life.

In a nutshell, Amelia Aierwood: Basic Witch revolves around the leastfavorite daughter of LA’s most famous family of witches. Amelia’s sisters have all followed in the footsteps of their prominent parents, but she is a late bloomer who unabashedly eats Pop-Tarts and listens to murder podcasts, but who can’t, for the life of her, cast any worthy spells. (But she can make sandwiches, which is an essential component of life, in my opinion.) She’s quirky, fun, fantastic, and happy to dance to the beat of her own drummer exactly like Hampshire herself.

“I felt like there was this neat thing with social media, influencers, marketing, and magic,” she explains. “One member of the family makes these magical potions and she markets them really well, but Amelia isn’t marketable. She’s just a disaster, and she’s definitely not on brand for the family. Ultimately, the one thing that she’s good at is making sandwiches, and she thinks it’s stupid, but it becomes a very big thing for her. I find that any time I see people trying to do something that they think they’re supposed to do, especially on social media, it doesn’t work. What stands out most are the people who are just being themselves, just being authentic. What I was drawn to with this story was the idea of finding the magic within you — that the thing you think is your problem is usually your superpower.”

You’re supposed to write what you know, right? And Hampshire has definitely done that here. “I feel like Amelia is very much me in a way that I started acting when I was like 12, and so my development years — my teens were kind of done in an audition. It was very much like, Who do you want me to be? And who am I supposed to be? And that’s how I saw my identity for the longest time — looking at the other person and seeing what they wanted me to be,” she admits.

Writing Amelia’s story has been a catharsis, leading to some serious self-discovery, which we discuss now, in what Hampshire jokes is like a therapy session (which actually did help her reach her current state of consciousness). “It’s funny, because I’ve started writing a lot recently, and people always ask about themes and stuff. I never write to a theme, but what

always emerges is an identity crisis. And that’s because I always find that I am my biggest barrier to things. I’ve experienced relationships where you sometimes lose who you are — you lose your identity — and when you get out of it, you don’t know what you like anymore or even who you are anymore. And I think I found myself, at a certain point, where I didn’t know who I was without acting, or without somebody else, or without all the trappings of what I’m supposed to be. What I realized was that you have to like yourself; you have to really find that place where, no matter what anybody tells you, you’re not looking for approval outside of yourself … which is, I do think, a really hard thing to do. But when you do it, it’s the greatest thing. It’s essentially the lesson of The Wizard of Oz, like, it was always in you my dear, you just had to find it for yourself.”

Hampshire is no longer timid about saying or sharing the epiphanies she’s had. She’s worked hard to be able to claim them — for both Amelia and herself. Amelia is merely a catalyst for her to speak about her own selfacceptance. And she found it only in recent years, specifically during the pandemic — that universal time in history that had every single person in the world reassessing the state of their lives.

This is the conclusion she came to: “I really just like my life, and I like who I am,” she says simply. “[The pandemic] was when I found myself. As an example, if I wrote something before, I’d be afraid to show it to anybody and then need them to like it. I wouldn’t know if it was good unless somebody else told me it was good. Or, if I did an audition; something shifted in me, where I was like, I think this is good, and if you don’t like it, oh well, then it might not be for you and that’s OK, but it’s not going to crush me. That was when I realized, That’s the sense of self — it’s that barometer within you.”

Hampshire seems very strong and extremely self-aware now. She’s clearly been able to strip herself down and discover the very essence of Emily as well as where some of her prior hang-ups have come from.

“I think a lot [of my issues came from being] Canadian and being raised to be very polite,” she explains. “Everything is about someone else and being nice to somebody else. Which is good, obviously, but it always means putting yourself second in a way that, if I entered any relationship — and I don’t even mean romantic ones — I would put myself second in a way that whatever they would say must be right. I wasn’t on my own team. I think that was the shift; I allowed myself to say, Something’s off; I don’t feel good here for some reason, and trusted my intuition.”

In writing Amelia, she says that she was able to realize invaluable things about herself. “Amelia’s discovery is my discovery; I put that into her. I put so much of my life into her,” she admits. “And [Amelia] made me realize that I like my own life, and I’m happy doing my own thing.” For example, like Amelia — whose sisters are all adopted — Hampshire, too, has an adopted brother; she is the only biological child of (the now-divorced) Lucia, a homemaker, and Robert, a dentist. But, as it is with her character, biology doesn’t boil down to much. “What I find fascinating is that my brother is really so much like my parents, but I’m the black sheep. I’m the weird one who doesn’t really fit,” she declares, her eyes wide and guileless.

And she’s OK with that. She’s living her truth, and that’s what’s important — for both herself and for Amelia. “The authentic self is a big thing in the book, and it’s also been a big thing for me. I was definitely a later bloomer, and it’s only been in the last few years of my life that I really felt like I knew who I was,” she confesses. “I remember being 8, riding my bike to the pool in my bathing suit, not thinking anything about how I looked. This was me before I got self-conscious. Losing that selfconsciousness, getting back to not caring — that is magical. When you finally find your authentic self and you know who you are, you just feel so confident. And that’s the real magic, I guess.”

ime is largely considered by most busy people to be a luxury, but Emily Hampshire’s lack of it is next level. She feels guilty taking time for herself, so anyone that really knows her knows an unexpected window of alone time is the thing she craves most. It is also, as I discover, the greatest gift she can be given.

Case in point: “Nothing makes me happier than when people cancel plans on me. Like, even plans that I want to do, with people I want to see,” she admits, sharing, “I have these really good friends who, for my birthday, will make plans to take me to dinner or something, and then, as a gift, they would cancel on me. They know that’s time I would never give myself, just to do nothing. Because otherwise, if I have time, I’m scheduling work stuff, getting things done. If I’m canceled on, because I gave that time to someone, that time is mine again.”

Whether she uses it researching sinkholes, listening to murder podcasts, or just sitting on the couch and vegging out is irrelevant. The point, my friends, is that it is hers. She hasn’t had a lot of it in the past few years, which is why these seemingly stolen moments are so important. Not that she’s complaining in any way; Hampshire lives to work. Being a bona fide, selfproclaimed workaholic is almost like a hobby.

Let’s recap, shall we? There was Hampshire’s unforgettable, sixseason run on Schitt’s Creek, the Canadian series that made her a household name, earned her a Screen Actors Guild Award, and made history by simultaneously winning nine Emmy awards in all major categories. Then there were roles in the 2022 romantic comedy, The End of Sex; Epix’s limited series Chapelwaite based on Stephen King’s short story “Jerusalem’s Lot,” opposite Adrien Brody; Syfy/Hulu’s 12 Monkeys; The Death & Life of John F. Donovan with Natalie Portman and Kit Harington; the indie Never Saw It Coming; and Darren Aronofsky’s Mother!

Most recently, she wrapped Caitlin Cronenberg’s thriller, Humane, the premise being how a global environmental collapse forces world leaders to take extreme measures to reduce the earth’s population. She also has four premieres at SXSW in March, including Self Reliance, Jake Johnson’s directorial film debut about a life-or-death reality game show; the dramedy Bloody Hell; Zoe Lister-Jones’ Roku comedy series, Slip; and the psychological horror short film, Appendage

But there’s more. She has several projects in pre-production, including Betsy Thomas’ comedy, D-Day; the highly anticipated television remake of Norman Lear’s Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman; a partnership to write and create a new television project and starring vehicle for Elliot Page via his Page Boy Productions; and a collaboration with Atlas Entertainment and Jason Filardi to co-write, star in, and produce a feature adaptation of the best-selling novel The Holiday Swap

Last, but certainly not least, is her most recent turn on The Rig, Amazon’s six-part thriller led by Line of Duty and Bodyguard director John Strickland which, it so happens, she finds out is being renewed for a second season as she arrives on our set. (Discovering that the series is going to shoot somewhere in the Arctic — destination unknown — instead of Hawaii as the cast anticipated doesn’t dim her excitement. After all, she’s Canadian; freezing cold is a familiar way of life.)

Yes, it’s a lot — but she loves it. “I love working; there’s nothing I love more than that. I am 100% a workaholic,” she declares now. “I used to feel really guilty in my relationships that I was always choosing work over doing something fun, but I don’t really have fun having fun. I have fun working. I literally didn’t have a day off until Christmas last year; I was very lucky.”

Sadly for die-hard Schitt’s Creek fans, that work did not include

“WHAT I WAS DRAWN TO WITH THIS STORY WAS THE IDEA OF FINDING THE MAGIC WITHIN YOU — THAT THE THING YOU THINK IS YOUR PROBLEM IS USUALLY YOUR SUPERPOWER.”

filming a special, another season of the monster series, or that highly anticipated movie everyone keeps buzzing about, though in a perfect world, the latter should be happening in the unforeseen future. “I would be surprised if we didn’t [shoot a film],” she says. “I know we’re not going to ever do the series again, but I think we like each other too much to not get together again to do something like that. It also feels like the right thing to do. Not that I’m saying that is going to happen. Nothing’s been set, but I’m hopeful for it. I would put money on it.”

Hampshire is understandably a bit apprehensive to say more; too often things she’s said have been misconstrued or taken out of context. And that, more than anything, makes her leery of saying them in the first place. “It’s usually about my sexuality, and it’s embarrassing, because it makes me seem like I’m always talking about that, which is not true,” she notes.

“What about your sexuality?” I ask her. “What are people saying that bothers you?”

“I guess the technical thing is that I’m pansexual, which is just because a long time ago, I fell in love with somebody. People were asking, ‘Is Emily a lesbian? Is Stevie gay?’ [And so I asked Schitt’s Creek co-star Dan Levy], ‘Dan, what am I? I just fell in love with a person.’ And Dan was like, ‘Didn’t you watch [the Schitt’s Creek wine episode]? You’re pan.’ I get why people needed to identify me as something, because I do think visibility is important, but I think the ultimate goal is to not identify as anything and just be who you are.”

Fair play, I say. And just who is Emily Hampshire?

I know the surface things. She is a SAG winner. She is Canadian. She is Stevie Budd. She loves and lives to work. She loves true crime and Babar, glue guns, and arts and crafts. She feels comfortable on a film set, but not in front of a camera. I know that her first solo trip was to Paris and that she loves to travel alone. She makes a mean snow fort and can “sugar off” with the best of them (not a low-grade curse word or something dirty, but a grade-school Canadian activity). Her mom was “really poor” growing up, and so she passed along a mentality to her daughter that, if she wanted something, she had to make it herself. (Case in point: she once wanted a couch that she couldn’t afford from Anthropologie so badly that she taught herself how to sew and even how to upholster a budget version herself.) She’s a perfectionist (she’s a Virgo; it makes sense), and she just re-watched all of Boy Meets World because people thought her current haircut resembled that of a young Rider Strong, who starred in the ’90s coming-of-age series. But these are the sum of her parts.

Hampshire does not claim to be anything other than what she is, and she does not want any of it to be categorized. She declares, “I identify as a workaholic, personally, and I’m tired of labeling myself. I think people in the past weren’t allowed to be who they were, so there had to be this movement of acceptance — you can be gay, straight, pan, nonbinary, all those things. Ultimately, the utopian world to me — and I think hopefully, for everybody — is to just be who you are. I think getting past that is the goal, so that you don’t have to be anything but you.”

I’m standing with you, Emily, just as long as you promise me one thing: please, please, please never lose your dinosaur.

THE COCKTAIL EXPERIENCE

The bars and lounges that need to be on your radar.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER THE FLEUR ROOM

The Fleur Room is the latest West Hollywood hot spot from Tao Group Hospitality. The maximalist décor — inclusive of art like Anissa Kermiche’s curvaceous, larger-thanlife ”Love Handle” vase filled with fresh flowers; a mirrored ceiling with an oversized gold disco ball; velvet seating; marbled cocktail tables; and bespoke Venetian glass fixtures is meant to showcase a rebellious take on old Hollywood, and, in turn, offer a secretive, sexy escape for cocktail enthusiasts. (There’s also a ”Love Room,” draped in gold shagreen velvet, so you get the point.) The bar program centers around handcrafted cocktails made with fresh juices, housemade syrups and infusions, and surprising elements like dramatic vapors and dry ice. Make sure to grab a drink under the signature pink-flower Venetian glass pendants at the bar. 9201 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, 90069

THUNDERBOLT

Thunderbolt is one of the greatest new bars to grace Los Angeles in quite some time — and it was even recognized by the 50 Best organization as Campari’s ”One to Watch” in 2022. It’s a cozy neighborhood cocktail bar located at the intersection of Filipinotown, Echo Park, and DTLA, but don’t let its comfortable façade and Southern vibe (with an accompanying menu of Southern delights like biscuits and gravy) fool you: Thunderbolt has a slew of ambitious innovations that many LA bars haven’t yet matched. Liquid Picnic — a gin-based cocktail with elements of citrus, tomato, rosemary, and black pepper — is made using centrifugestrained tomato water, stored just above freezing point, and poured to order in a lemon oil-dusted frozen glass, while the espresso martini is forcibly nitrogenated to give it a nitro cold-brew texture and head. 1263 W. Temple St., Los Angeles, 90026

THE LET’S GO! DISCO & COCKTAIL CLUB

The Let’s Go! Disco & Cocktail Club is newly “serving it up and shaking it down” in the Arts District as of December. This new nightlife spot, courtesy of Lee Zaremba and the team behind De La Nonna, channels a late 1970s and early 1980s Italian Riviera discoteca. The rose-colored stucco space, designed by Butcher’s Daughter creator and founder Heather Tierney, is anchored by a 30-foot-long marble bar with green ceramic tiles. Additional design elements include custom-made furniture, modelewd after Italian designers of the era, such as Mario Bellini; Eames cocktail tables that surround a cognac leather table; and swiveling brass stools that line the bar. Inspired by the dazzling disco floors of the time, the ceiling was fabricated into a checkerboard pattern with gold mirrors and mahogany wood panels. Playing up the disco theme, the space is also dotted with vinyl-filled shelves, a DJ booth, and a hi-fi sound system designed by Uncanned Music. The beverage menu plays to this theme as well: our favorites include the Fizz Italiano, a gin and grapefruit sour; 5:1 Boys, a sesame leaf-infused dry gin martini; and Mucho Disko, a nutty mezcal cocktail. 710 E. 4th Place, Los Angeles, 90013

THE HIDEAWAY

The Hideaway, located in the heart of Beverly Hills, is a straight-up homage to 1970s Baja California. The interior, with its rustic tiled floors, vintage wood, faded stucco fireplace, and wrought-iron tables, is essential to creating a low-key vibe. Yet, it is absolutely the eatery’s jewel box of a bar that demands immediate attention. Here, Julian Cox, LA’s own mixology master, has created a tequilaheavy menu of handmade cocktails that play to the Mexican theme. Blood Sugar Sex Majik — made with rye, agave, Fresno chili, red bell peppers, and basil — is a standout, but even a house margarita is flawless on Cox’s watch thanks to a unique blend of both blanco and reposado tequilas and fresh, house-blended sweet and sour juices. Worldwide wines, inclusive of a prominent selection of California’s best, are also featured heavily on the menu.

IN HIS SIXTH NBA SEASON, JAYSON TATUM HAS A RENEWED DRIVE TO WIN — AND HE’S BETTING ON SUCCESS

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER PHOTOGRAPHY BRED HAMPTON STYLING VICK MICHEL SHOT ON LOCATION AT ENCORE BOSTON HARBOR

IT’S HOW WE SURVIVE THE DOWNS IN LIFE THAT SHOWS US WHAT WE’RE really made of, right? For Jayson Tatum, this is particularly true, but with a twist: it took a championship loss to make the Boston Celtics star remember to fully embrace and enjoy every moment of his wild NBA ride … and take none of the highs for granted.

One might say he’s finally given himself permission to see not just the game, but life itself, as a journey — not a destination. We take the cards we’re dealt and play them.

These are heavy topics for a pre-season Sunday — certainly atypical of a proper Sunday fun day. Tatum and I sit side by side in a secret two-story suite at Encore Boston Harbor. The sun is setting, his shoot is done, and he’s about to eat Chinese food from Red 8. But Tatum isn’t rushing. Instead, he’s quietly and thoughtfully answering each of my questions, his lanky, 6-foot-8-inch frame slouched and spilling out of a plush armchair.

It’s honestly hard to remember that he’s only 24. Not because he looks older (though if we equated height with age, he’d easily be pushing a century), but because there is a stoicism about him. He is watchful, seemingly taking everything in but revealing nothing. When he speaks, he looks at me only sporadically, his eyes shifting away slowly. I think he would make an excellent poker player.

I ask to play two truths and a lie, but, because he seems exhausted, I switch gears, flip a different card and come up with a new game one that he can play easily. I ask him to fill in the blank. Time is what?

If I were filling this out for him myself (blindly of course, given that I do not at all know him), I would say, “Time is important.” Because I cannot actively squirrel around in his head, I would have guessed said adjective because he has cultivated a massive collection of rare designer watches that he is extremely and expressively proud of. But I would have guessed wrong.

“Time,” he declares, “is precious.”

I raise my eyebrows at him. Go on.

He obliges. “Because it flies by,” he explains. “I remember being a little kid who could only think about the NBA and how far out of reach it seemed. I used to daydream about it. When I was in school, I would think, Can’t this hurry up? And it seems like I blinked and six years are gone; I’m already going into my sixth NBA season. Where is the time going? I vividly remember being in high school, getting drafted, playing the first game of my NBA career, and now, I’ve played five seasons.”

Five seasons of strength upon strength upon strength. To be 24 years old and have a career like Tatum’s is rare. After winning the ACC title during his first year at Duke, he decided to enter the NBA draft. It was the right choice, given that he was selected as a third-overall, first-round pick by the Celtics.

And since his 2017 start in the league, he has been named a three-time NBA All-Star and an NBA Eastern Conference finals’ Most Valuable Player. He also helped his team make it to the NBA Finals earlier this year. And did I mention he also won a gold medal during the Tokyo Olympics? No? Because that happened, too.

However, for the past five years, he has been on a mission to prove himself. His NBA journey has predominantly been about testing his own limits, topping his own personal best. “I think up until this point, every year I’ve wanted to improve in every statistical category, and I’ve done that. Every year I’ve averaged more points than I did the year prior; I’ve averaged more rebounds, more assists, more minutes. I’ve been named an All-Star three times, been to the conference finals three times, got to the championships.”

He might have been getting better, but was he living in the moment, fully embracing being one of the hottest young players in the league? It didn’t sound like it, to be honest, until something major happened: for the first time in his career, his team made it to the NBA Finals … and lost.

“It was the worst feeling ever — an empty feeling — and I don’t want to feel that way again,” he declares. “It was as low as I’ve ever felt in my life. I felt as if I let everybody that was dependent on me down. I was mentally and physically exhausted. I didn’t have anything left in me. It’s tough to think about, even now, because you realize how close you were to accomplishing the opportunity of a lifetime; you were so close, but not close enough, and that can be discouraging, like, This shit is too hard. And it stings for a couple of days, honestly. I didn’t leave the house. I didn’t want to talk to anybody. I was trying to cancel the outside world, regardless of what people were saying; I tried to get away from basketball, in a sense. But I spent time with my son, my family, the people that genuinely care about me, and I started to get my groove back.”

Like everything in life, losing has its purpose, though it might have been hard to see at the time. And the Celtics’ 4-2 loss to the Golden State Warriors last season was a particularly bitter pill to swallow — for Tatum, the Celtics, and every single one of their die-hard New England fans.

“My mindset is a little different now,” he admits. “I remember what it felt like, getting to the championship and losing. And everything I’ve done in training for the coming season is to not have that feeling again. My mindset now is what do I need to do to win a championship. Now, there’s no specific number I need to average, no specific number of rebounds. I just want to win. If you win, if your team has all the success, all the individual things will come along with that. If we win a championship, that means I’m playing at the highest level.”

So now, in his sixth season, he’s ready to go, fight, and most importantly — win. “I will do literally whatever it takes to never feel that way again,” he vows. “And I’m coming in in great shape. I made sure to take the off-season to get

healthy, so that I could perform at my highest level, so that I could dominate, be the best, go out there every night and be able to say, ‘I’m the best player in the world.’”

Tatum’s last season might not have had the happy ending he wanted, but again, he’s only 24. Twenty-freaking-four. (He’ll turn 25 on March 3.) And by this ripe old age, he has surpassed his hero and mentor, Kobe Bryant (with whom Tatum became close before Bryant’s passing in 2020), in being the youngest player ever to score 20-plus points in four straight playoff games. He also joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as one of the only rookies in NBA history to record 10 games of 20-plus points scored in a first playoff run. He has tied Larry Bird’s single game franchise scoring record by scoring 60 points against the San Antonio Spurs, was voted into the 2021-22 All-NBA First Team, and was named the Eastern Conference finals MVP en route to an NBA Finals berth. That five-year, $163 million contract extension that he signed in 2020 to remain with the Celtics should show the team’s faith in him. And one can only hope that it’s enough to give him faith in himself.

Yet Tatum doesn’t need to rush, or test himself, to make these moments happen. He can savor them, letting all moments, big and small, successfully tell the story of a young boy from St. Louis — a starry-eyed kid who worshipped at the altar of Kobe Bryant — with a big dream, a raging inner fire, and a desire to succeed that has superseded all else.

He admits now, “In the past, I wanted to rush things, but now, I’m trying to enjoy these moments. When you’re a kid, you want to grow up so fast. You want to be an adult. And now that I am an adult, I want to relax; I want to enjoy this.”

And finally, Jayson Tatum is all in.

IT’S A SURREAL MOMENT. OUR PHOTO SHOOT CREW IS WANDERING (purposefully) down the red and purple patterned corridors of the Wynnowned resort. Tatum is in the middle of a pack that could be mistaken for an entourage, but he’s pretty unmissable: not just because of his height (but yeah, duh, that too), but because he’s wearing sunglasses — inside — and a lavish, incredible, still-unreleased Amiri coat. It’s no wonder that fans, with their rapid-fire iPhone flashes, have started to gather on the sidelines, parting like the Red Sea. Jayson Tatum isn’t just a star — he is the star. And he looks like one (which is not always the case, as we all know).

It isn’t hard to understand why, as we do a deep dive into the nitty-gritty of his collection of 14 timepieces from Richard Mille, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Cartier. But his first and most significant watch purchase was also his worst. The Tatum of yesterday wanted the best of the best. But the Tatum of today knows how to get it.

Here’s the story of his first watch: “I’m from St. Louis, and there, hip-hop and basketball influence one another. Rappers want to be basketball players and vice versa. So when I was growing up, you would see all of these athletes with diamond watches. I see that, as a young kid, and I’m like, I really want those things. So, when I get to the NBA, we get all the way to the conference finals. In Game 7, we lose. But you get playoff bonuses for how far you go: first

round, second round, third round, championship. And the [farther] you go, the bigger the bonus. I save all of my NBA salary, but I convinced my mom that the bonus wasn’t technically my salary. It was extra. And I was like, I want to get an iced-out watch. So I took $30,000, found a jeweler, and bought a two-tone, iced-out watch. They call it a ‘bust-down’ Rolex. And I couldn’t have been happier. I felt like I had made it, like I had it. I had an iced-out Rolex from a jeweler and I felt like a rapper. And it’s like with anything, when you’re not educated, you don’t know what you don’t know. As I’ve gotten more educated about watches, I realized that this particular watch was the dumbest thing I could have bought because it for sure had already lost its value. But at the time, I was 20; all of my friends were still in college. I had no frame of reference. It wasn’t until later that I realized those are secondhand diamonds. Those aren’t Rolex diamonds, and those are just diamonds a jeweler put on a watch. It devalues the watch. And so, it was a learning mistake, but I still have it because it was the first watch I ever bought. I’ll never get rid of it. But it’s just always a reminder of what life has taught me about watches.”

This sounds like a metaphor for life, no? If I were a betting woman, I would say that this means quite a few things: “Don’t be afraid to make mistakes — but they’ll cost you”; “Each mistake is really a lesson in disguise”; and “Never forget where you came from.”

Well, there’s certainly no danger of that last one ever happening. Though he’s been here in the Cradle of Liberty city since 2017, he still lists his hometown as a primary thing that defines him.

“I know St. Louis isn’t known for many great things — crime being one of [the negatives] — but it shaped the person that I am. Growing up there prepared me for life. There are a lot of things I saw at a young age that kids shouldn’t see. I’ve seen drive-by shootings. I’ve lived in a neighborhood where kids that I would play basketball with every day would get arrested. I’ve seen real-life prostitutes walking down the alley and drug addicts on the corner. I saw a pink eviction notice on our house; we almost got kicked out and had to find somewhere to live. So I think all of those things made me grow up a little faster.”

He pauses for a moment, and says in his quiet, yet clear, voice, “We have a saying: ‘If you can make it in St. Louis, you can make it anywhere.’ [The way I see it], growing up in a tougher environment made me a stronger person. I wouldn’t change where I’m from for the world.”

It’s a different vibe from his life in Boston, to be sure. When he heads home every summer to see his friends and family, when he eats at the same places he’s been going to his entire life, he’s content. “When people see me in Boston, they like that I’m on the Celtics, so they love me for that reason. But when people see me back home, regardless of their age — they could be 65 or someone I went to school with — it’s like, ‘We’re proud of you.’ Nobody back home cares what team I play for; they like that I represent St. Louis. It’s more of a genuine ‘He’s one of us.’ And that’s one of the best feelings you can have.”

He names a few of his hometown’s most famous residents, from rappers

“I REMEMBER WHAT IT FELT LIKE, GETTING TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND LOSING. AND EVERYTHING I’VE DONE IN TRAINING FOR THE COMING SEASON IS TO NOT HAVE THAT FEELING AGAIN. ”

like Nelly to former basketball players like Larry Hughes and David Lee to current stars like Bradley Beal, before recalling, “Growing up, I would always tell my mom, ‘I want to be the biggest person to come out of St. Louis. I want to be the best basketball player in the world. And I want everybody to know that I represent where I’m from.’ Because ultimately, I give kids hope. I went to this school, I grew up on this block. I went to this corner store. I played at this rec center that you play at. I played football here. And now, I’m on magazines and commercials and even chip containers.” (Tatum is the face of Ruffles Flamin’ Hot BBQ, both literally and figuratively — his mug is even on the bag.) “A lot of kids from St. Louis have never left the city. They don’t know anything bigger than their reality. So when I go home, I have toy drives for inner-city kids during Christmas. I hold free basketball camps. I donate laptops, iPads, and things like that. I just want to come home and show people that I care about them, that it’s possible to do something more. You don’t have to be a professional athlete; you don’t have to be an NBA player. A lot of kids here don’t dream, because they don’t think that they can. And, you know, I’d like to change that narrative.”

While he’s likely doing this for his home city, he’s definitely doing it for one youngster in particular: his son, Jayson Christopher Jr., aka “Deuce,” his “twin and best friend.”

Tatum lights up full of sunshine when talking about his kid. He is finally showing something other than the laid-back demeanor I have become accustomed to. I wonder if it is only his son that can produce this true and palatable joy, but I don’t wonder for long — he is talking, sharing an ode to fatherhood, and it is both unexpected and lovely.

“You never know how much you can love somebody until you have a kid. I had [Deuce] when I was 19. He was born on December 6, the year I was drafted. So, for two-and-a-half months after the season started, life was challenging. I had just moved to Boston. I was 19, starting a new career, and I was nervous to be a dad. And I was a little selfish at first. I didn’t think it was the best idea to be having a kid at that time. I was more concerned with how he was going to affect me and my career. I wasn’t as excited as I should have been because I was young; I just wanted to play basketball. I wasn’t ready to be a dad. But I’ll never forget this: I wasn’t super thrilled until his mom pushed him out, and I saw him for the first time. They put him in my arms and literally, it switched. And I was like, This is like the best shit ever. Seeing him, and holding him. And ever since that day, we’ve been essentially attached at the hip. There’s no better feeling than being a dad, being a parent. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him.”

There are a few specific things he is doing. He says, “I try to be a good person. I don’t want money or fame to influence the way that I act. I like being around people that treat me like Jayson, not like a person that they see on TV. I like being around people I can genuinely be myself around, people I grew up with. I’m most comfortable just being able to be myself and not just the guy you see on TV.” (I see the point he’s making, but I do want to point out that he’s not just on TV — he’s also on the aforementioned Ruffles bags, and you may see something resembling his visage on his first signature shoe with Jordan Brand, the Jordan Tatum 1, when it debuts this spring.)

Jayson Tatum is not just one thing. He is the star athlete, the father, the friend, the hometown hero, the reigning prince of Boston. But, at the end of the day, he is still very much an enigma.

“People always say that I’m very in control of my emotions. And whether it’s playing basketball, or it’s practicing, I’m always calm. It’s a skill of mine, to always remain calm, to think before I do something. I’m very laid-back, and I’m very observant — I listen more than I speak. I never get too excited. I never get too sad. And that’s just kind of me.”

I’m standing by my prior opinion: Jayson Tatum is an excellent player, regardless of the game. And right now, he’s holding all of the cards.

FREQUENT FLYER

Rolex’s Sky-Dweller was designed specifically for travelers who seek adventure across multiple time zones.

BY GABRIEL PESSOA

ROLEX’S SKY-DWELLER IS THE ULTIMATE TRAVELER’S TIMEPIECE. Conducive to a jet-setting lifestyle, its dial displays two time zones, allowing the wearer to see local time through the conventional center hands and reference time in 24-hour format via an off-center disc.

The Sky-Dweller is equipped with a mechanism of interaction between the rotatable bezel, the winding crown, and the movement: the Ring Command system, which allows the user to select the watch’s functions one by one and set them quickly and securely. Global travelers can read the reference time using a red triangle pointing to the off-center disc. The disc’s 24-hour graduation allows travelers to distinguish daytime hours from nighttime hours in the reference time zone (for example, 10 a.m. versus 10 p.m.).

The watch also features Saros, a revolutionary annual calendar whose design was inspired by the astronomical phenomenon of the same name. The Greek term “saros” has been used since antiquity to designate an approximately 18year cycle of alignment patterns between the sun, Earth, and moon where they reach equal distances to one another in the same sky zone. The Saros annual calendar, whose qualities are attributable to an ingenious patented mechanism, automatically distinguishes between 30- and 31-day months. It displays the correct date throughout the year and requires only one adjustment yearly, on March 1.

Months of the year are marked by 12 discrete apertures around the dial’s perimeter, outside the hour markers: January at 1 o’clock, February at 2 o’clock, and so on. A red aperture indicates the current month.

The Sky-Dweller’s Oyster case — 42 millimeters in diameter and guaranteed to be waterproof to a depth of 330 feet (100 meters) — is a paragon of robustness and elegance. The middle case is crafted from a solid block of 18-karat yellow gold, made with only the purest metals from the Rolex foundry. The caseback, edged with fine fluting, is hermetically screwed down with a unique tool that grants only certified Rolex watchmakers access to the movement. The Twinlock winding crown, fitted with a double waterproof system, screws down securely against the case. The crystal is made of a virtually scratchproof sapphire, with a Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock for easy reading of the date, and benefits from an anti-reflective coating. The waterproof Oyster case provides optimal protection for the Sky-Dweller’s movement.

Vacheron Constantin’s Grasp on ‘THE SPIRIT OF TRAVEL’

Vacheron Constantin adds to its Overseas collection with the debut of the Overseas Chronograph in a sophisticated pink gold.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF HIGH WATCHMAKING, timepieces and travel have always gone hand in hand. Since the founding of Vacheron Constantin over 250 years ago, “openness to the world” and the sheer thrill of discovery have remained at the core of its philosophy. With the Overseas Chronograph — the latest addition to the legendary Overseas collection — Vacheron Constantin continues to honor the legacy of travel.

The Overseas Chronograph is the ultimate travel companion, but it’s also perfectly designed to be worn every day. Marrying elegance with casual flair, the new timepiece sports the Overseas collection’s iconic blue-lacquered dial with a sunburst satin finish, which is complemented by the new pink gold case, bezel, crown, and dial markers.

The 42.5 mm 18K 5N pink gold case houses a column-wheel chronograph enhanced by a date aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock. Intricately designed with over 260 pieces, the timepiece is powered by the in-house, self-winding Caliber 5200 with 22-karat oscillating weight engraved with a wind rose, which can be seen through the crystal caseback.

Through Vacheron Constantin’s innovative clasp system, the Overseas Chronograph proves to be extremely versatile with three interchangeable straps: blue alligator for a more sophisticated feel, blue rubber for the ultimate sports style, and 18K 5N pink gold for a more monochromatic look. The new Overseas Chronograph fits seamlessly into the collection and adds a new sporty dynamic to the range of travel-inspired timepieces.

CINEMATIC TIMEPIECES

Two new Omega watches have been crafted to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the James Bond franchise.

BY GABRIEL PESSOA

IT WAS 60 YEARS AGO, ON OCTOBER 5, 1962, THAT ONE of the most iconic movie characters in the history of cinema made his on-screen debut. The 25 action-packed James Bond movies have gained mass appeal and a raving fan following over the years. And while everyone has a favorite, Omega has a particular soft spot for 1995’s GoldenEye. This was the first Bond movie where the iconic 007 wore an Omega on his wrist.

The innovative and stylish partnership has not wavered since. Keeping up with James Bond’s own evolution, Omega watches have evolved over time.

Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming worked on five Bond films between 1995 and 2006 and was the person who initially proposed that 007 wear an Omega. “I was convinced that Commander Bond, a naval man, a diver, and a discreet gentleman of the world, would wear this watch,” she said.

It turns out Hemming was spot on with her choice, as Omega has an authentic connection to Britain’s Ministry of Defense. The company delivered more than 110,000 watches to pilots, navigators, and soldiers during World War II.

Inspired by the same Seamaster that James Bond wore in GoldenEye, Omega creates watchmaking magic through the film-themed caseback of the new commemorative Seamaster Diver 300M, replicating the famous 007 opening sequence. The new watch is driven by a precise Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8806 and is presented on a mesh-style bracelet — in the

same style as James Bond’s Omega watch in No Time to Die Its bezel and dial are both made from blue oxalic-anodized aluminum, with the dial featuring laser-engraved waves and the bezel featuring a diving scale filled with white Super-LumiNova. Also, spot the commemorative “60,” which replaces the diving scale’s traditional inverted triangle and luminescent green dot, which links to the minute hand.

For collectors of the steel version, there’s a blue wooden presentation box in the original Diver 300M wave pattern, with three dots inspired by the classic Bond opening title sequence, including a secret push button on the right.

The Canopus Gold iteration of this timepiece is a nod to Ian Fleming’s Jamaican home, Goldeneye. The dial has been made from natural grey silicon, and thanks to the crystallites, each pattern is unique, guaranteeing the wearer that no two dials are ever alike. In tribute to the Jamaican flag, the bezel is circled with a paving of green- and yellow-treated natural diamonds in 10 different tropical shades, which range from extra-dark forest green to cognac.

Owners of the Canopus Gold edition receive their watches in an elegant mango tree box with mother-of-pearl marquetry, film-inspired dots, and a “60 Years of Bond” logo. The use of the mango tree references a famous song from the first James Bond film, while the mother-of-pearl is a nod to the shells of Crab Key.

WORK OF ART

Hublot unveils the MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis 5-Day Power Reserve during Art Basel Miami Beach.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

TO CELEBRATE THE DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN artists and high watchmaking during the 2022 Art Basel Miami Beach, Hublot exclusively debuted the MP-09 Tourbillon BiAxis 5-Day Power Reserve. A world first, the watch’s renowned gemstone pattern has been reimagined using technicolor composites inserted into the mass of a 3D carbon case. Catapulting the iconic rainbow design into the modern era, the new timepiece embodies all the guiding elements of Hublot, from the concept and method to the materials and mechanisms. The rainbow effect actually uses carbon and composites instead of colored gemstones, and that makes this timepiece incredibly rare. It replicates the natural variations on the surface of the case usually achieved by the elemental differences of diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds.

“We have mastered carbon. We have mastered the traditional rainbow setting,” admits Ricardo Guadalupe, the CEO of Hublot. “But no one was yet to master 3D carbon with the rainbow effect, quite simply because no one had thought about it. That is what makes Hublot different: we explore the unknown regions of haute

horlogerie. This new ‘MP’ is therefore not just another Manufacture Piece: it embodies what Hublot is. Being first, unique, and different. And that will never change.”

Limited to just eight timepieces worldwide, the MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis 5-Day Power Reserve is an artistic masterpiece from the inside out. The case boasts a bold 49 millimeters and is braided as thin bars of carbon are laid flat just a few millimeters apart — creating a complex dimension as composites are placed vertically into the gaps and a third carbon mesh raises all components to the same level. (Hundreds of colored inserts were created to achieve this result.) The new MP-09’s surface is entirely smooth and polished to the touch.

Inside, the MP-09 is equipped with the signature caliber — the HUB9009.H1.RA.B movement with manual winding — and a 5-day power reserve featuring a bi-axial tourbillon, with one complete rotation per minute for the first axis and a second rotation every 30 seconds for the second axis.

There’s no doubt that this watch is the epitome of the brand’s ethos: Hublot Loves Art.

THE SECOND GENERATION

Up close with the new A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

A. LANGE & SÖHNE HAS MADE HISTORY FOR THE SECOND time. In 2022, the watchmaker presented two new versions of the awardwinning Zeitwerk: second-generation versions of the mechanical watch in both platinum and pink gold. In 2009, A. Lange & Söhne sent shock waves through the watchmaking industry with the reveal of the Zeitwerk, as the unprecedented concept featured large jumping numerals for the hours and minutes and a constant-force escapement as a beat controller. Now, the second generation further pushes technical boundaries with new developments and seven patents woven throughout the movement. At first glance, the design details have been subtly modified, adhering to the original style while advancing the design for the first time in 13 years. The focal point of the dial continues to be the time bridge made of German silver (a material often used by A. Lange & Söhne for bridges and cocks), which fools most as it does not actually contain silver. In this new Zeitwerk, the time bridge was thoroughly redesigned to make more room for the subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock — ultimately proving that even the slightest design details within fine watchmaking truly matter. Other minor

design updates within the dial include the last 12 hours, now marked in red to indicate that the tension of the mainsprings is waning, and the famous “Made in Germany” signature now sits in the lower part of the seconds display rather than under the time bridge.

Inside, the Zeitwerk is powered by the newly evolved manual-wind Caliber L043.6, which has a double power reserve of 72 hours made possible by the patented barrel design with two mainsprings. When fully wound, the Zeitwerk has enough energy for 4,320 minute jumps (72 jumps with all three discs, 360 jumps with two discs, and 3,888 jumps with one disc). The new, simpler hour setting allows the hour disc to be set separately with the pusher at 4 o’clock.

With seven patents and over 450 pieces used within the movement, it’s important to note that, somehow, A. Lange & Söhne managed to reduce the thickness of the case by 0.4 millimeters (now 41.9 mm by 12.2 mm) a massive design feat in the world of fine watchmaking. The secondgeneration Zeitwerk reveals A. Lange & Söhne’s dedication to constantly redefining the limits of technical feasibility, living up to Walter Lange’s motto urging the need “to never stand still.”

THE BEST WINE HOTELS IN THE WORLD

SIT BACK, RELAX, AND SIP IN STYLE AT THESE 5-STAR PROPERTIES IN THE WORLD’S MOST PROMINENT WINE REGIONS.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

HOTEL MARQUÉS DE RISCAL

In the Basque Country’s Rioja wine region of Spain, with the Sierra de Cantabria’s snow-capped peaks protecting the region’s vineyards from the cold north winds, is one of the most visually remarkable hotels in the world. I actually defy you to see it and think otherwise. Hotel Marqués de Riscal was built by none other than world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, who conceived his avantgarde idea after opening a 1929 vintage (his year of birth) at the Cathedral — the historic cellar with a unique collection of over 130 vintages treasured by the Marqués de Riscal winery since 1862. Gehry imagined the hotel as the epicenter of a “City of Wine,” with the hotel as a “chateau of the 21st century.” And he wasn’t far off. From a distance, the building resembles a silvery bauble wrapped in shimmering titanium strips in metallic tones of deep pink, gold, and silver — the colors found on Marqués de Riscal bottle caps — and in the ripe, pinkish red of the wine itself (which guests are treated to a bottle of upon arrival). Elsewhere, visually, the hotel continues to be a marvel. Cushioned window seats and headboards are upholstered in soft maroon leather according to Gehry’s specifications, while bathrooms are lined with mottled dark grey-green marble. The interiors are highlighted best in the Gehry suite, which features a unique, intricate shape and a magnificent terrace overlooking the village of Elciego. Amenities in all rooms are courtesy of Caudalie, whose products are derived from grapes and vines; the brand oversees the spa as well. As can be expected from the City of Wine, absolutely everything here is exquisite, from the spa treatments to spectacular epicurean experiences. In fact, its Restaurante Marqués de Riscal was awarded with a Michelin star. Be sure to make time for a full guided tour of Herederos del Marqués de Riscal winery, which ends with — you guessed it — a wine tasting, for total immersion into the winemaking process.

VILLA LA COSTE

Those who venture to Provence are in for a treat, especially when staying at the luxurious, sun-dappled Villa La Coste. Here, halfway between Aixen-Provence — the birthplace of Cézanne — and the Luberon Regional Natural Park, is the home of the Château La Coste and its beautiful range of biodynamic wines. But first, a bit about the picture-perfect property. Its location is the stuff of legend: it is perched on a hillside, on the edge of a forest, and set among surrounding vineyards with views of the Luberon Valley beyond and lavender fields for days. The hotel is laid out around a shaded cobblestone pathway, locally known as a “calade,” with 28 suites named after the mountains of Provence. Each suite features four-poster beds surrounded by sheer curtains, lending a dreamy effect to each accommodation. But it is the wine and food (not the other way around here!) that define this mesmerizing hotel. Hélène Darroze — she of the 3 Michelin starred Hélène Darroze at The Connaught in London and 2 Michelin starred Marsan par Hélène Darroze in Paris — is helming the entire food and beverage program for Villa La Coste, so naturally, you should expect great things. When you aren’t wining and dining, make sure to check out the five-star art offerings —including sculptures and paintings by Damien Hirst, Tom Shannon, Sean Scully, and Le Corbusier and eye-capturing visuals from six Pritzker Prize-winning architects like Renzo Piano and Frank Gehry; the jaw-droppingly beautiful spa, complete with hammams, flotation beds, Vichy showers, a sauna, and treatments that utilize local products such as lavender from those Provençal fields; and last but certainly not least, the wine cellar — a beautiful and breathtaking winemaking area conceived by French architect Jean Nouvel.

MONTAGE HEALDSBURG

At Montage Healdsburg, located at the north edge of Healdsburg in California’s Sonoma County, emphasis is placed on the local landscape — in particular, the 22,000 carefully preserved oak trees that surround the stunning 258-acre property. Its exterior can be likened to camouflage, with its “skin” purposefully selected to match the bark of its trees. This haute hotel clearly plays to its location, from lobby centerpiece Scout Field Bar — an indoor-outdoor watering hole that hosts wine tastings by day and a full bar by night — to signature eatery Hazel Hill, which celebrates the best of French-influenced California fare with varietals to match. (Hazel Hill’s semi-private Oak Room, designed in the image of a modern, whimsical treehouse, is encased in glass and suspended above the earth to create the feeling of dining in the trees.) An 11,500-square-foot spa elevated 20 feet above the grapevines offers treatments that play up the rituals and seasons of wine country. The 130 rooms (all of which offer expansive views of either the surrounding mountains, forests, or vineyards) follow suit: authentically inspired by the land, their design references the property’s grapevines and oak and manzanita trees, with custom art pieces cast from tree bark and an earthy and natural color palette meant to complement the surrounding vineyards and the nearby Russian River. 100 Montage Way, Healdsburg, CA 95448

IL

BORRO

A visit to Il Borro is essential to your health and happiness, especially if you’re an oenophile. This pedigreed 13th-century property, located in the heart of a medieval Tuscan village in the upper Arno valley (a wide, natural basin formed by the course of its eponymous river and bordered by the Pratomagno massif and the Chianti hills), had fallen into disrepair until it was purchased by the Ferragamo family in 1993. The Ferragamos’ mission: to lovingly and carefully restore the property to its former glory, thereby preserving its history and traditions. Oh, how they’ve succeeded! Today, Il Borro is a zero-carbon estate that produces more energy that it uses. It is highlighted by a lush, three-hectare “cultivated garden” in which seasonal vegetables are grown, as well as a cutting-edge farm that has been entirely organic since 2015. The estate, which is part of the Relais & Châteaux association, includes a historic residence, a villa set among merlot vineyards, 58 exclusive suites, a spa, a wine and art gallery, a centuries-old wine cellar, and two restaurants in the superb Osteria del Borro and Il Borro Tuscan Bistro (both overseen by executive chef Andrea Campani). Best of all, Il Borro is home to 210 acres of vineyards from which 12 wines are produced, including the Alessandro dal Borro IGT Toscana Syrah (100% syrah), Il Borro IGT Toscana Rosso (50% merlot, 35% cabernet sauvignon, 15% syrah), and Petruna in Anfora IGT Toscana Sangiovese (100% sangiovese). Ten of the 12 wines are entirely organic — so I think that means you can have your wine and drink it too (in the same place, no less). And if you hadn’t gathered this already, the wine theme is sprinkled around the property like fairy dust, from rooms surrounded by grapevines to a slew of vino-specific experiences, from wine tours to wine-pairing cooking classes, as well as golf and artisan workshops — a love letter from the Ferragamo family to those who define the local area.

THE VINES RESORT & SPA

The Vines of Mendoza is an extraordinary place, and one that’s in one of the world’s most exciting wine regions to boot. Imagine sipping a glass of syrah, tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, bonarda, or malbec — all of which the area is defined by — at the base of the Andes, within Mendoza’s prestigious Uco Valley. It’s pretty dang awe-inspiring. Life-changing, one might say (as one just did). It’s a small but mighty property, with 21 villas ranging in size from 1,000 to 2,700 square feet, all of which are beautiful places to sip a glass, watch the sun rise and set, and just enjoy life. (The two-bedroom deluxe villas also have a private deck, a gas fireplace, an outdoor handmade clay tub with Andes mountain views, and spa-inspired bathrooms, so life, needless to say, is enjoyed best here.) But you won’t be sitting around simply sipping unless you want to be;there is much to be enjoyed here. At the root of The Vines is a private ownership experience, where guests have the chance to work side by side with world-renowned consulting winemaker Santiago Achaval to make a custom, small-batch wine. There’s an adventure called “Play in the Vineyard,” where guests can actually harvest grapes in wine camp during harvest season. There’s also a restaurant from famous Argentine chef Francis Mallmann, who creates inspired regional dishes showcasing Argentina’s famous beef using his “Siete Fuegos,” or “seven fires,” open-flame cooking techniques. And there’s much to explore off-property, too. With hundreds of wineries and limitless outdoor activities — including heli-skiing straight from The Vines — in a place where there are 300 days of sunshine a year, the possibilities are truly endless.

LES SOURCES DE CAUDALIE

There is no other way for me to describe Les Sources de Caudalie than “magical.” This beautiful resort that peeks out from the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, a Graves great growth, at the gateway to Bordeaux — just northwest of Sauternes and Médoc — resembles an Old World-style country retreat, which is apt given that it has existed since the 16th century. Here, there are vines for days, a pond where ducks swim lazily, a watermill, and, of course, Château Smith Haut Lafitte — its cooperage and cellars, where 1,000 barrels are kept. This timeless vibe continues on in carefully decorated rooms (each having an evocative name, like Claret and Archipelago) and in the Spa Vinotherapie, which features Caudalie, a beauty line made from the skin of grapes; a hammam and natural hot spring round out that earthy feel. Les Sources de Caudalie is also home to a 2 Michelin starred restaurant courtesy of chef Nicolas Masse, who highlights fruits and vegetables from an on-site vegetable garden and meat and dairy from the property’s own farms. The newly redecorated restaurant has been completely painted in a deep carbon color to create an enveloping box, with decorative elements, lighting, and tableware all in pure, mineral shades to put exquisite, beautifully presented meals center stage. As could be expected, wine pairings — presented by Head Sommelier

Aurélien Farrouil — are exceptional.

LA RESIDENCE

If you’re searching for the absolute best wine hotel in South Africa, let me assure you, La Residence is it. This stunning property is a slice of heaven. It is located on a private, 30-acre estate surrounded by mountains and vineyards in the heart of the country’s predominant wine region, the Franschhoek Valley in Cape Winelands, an hour’s drive from Cape Town. It is an ideal place for cabernet sauvignon and shiraz to thrive, surrounded by plum orchards with peacocks weaving colorfully among the vines. With just 11 rooms, privacy is a key selling point at this idyllic escape that can accommodate up to 22 people. As such, every room is unique, with its own color scheme and design references — all over-the-top opulence. Think marbled floors, grand chandeliers, and Persian rugs. (My favorite rooms are the two-bedroom vineyard suites, which feature their own private pools.) The dining here is as exquisite as the rooms: the hotel features a lavish breakfast buffet made with local ingredients and produce hand-picked from on-site vegetable and herb gardens; a loggia for sunset aperitifs; and a dining hall reminiscent of an old English manor (replete with dazzling chandeliers, black-and-white flooring, and vast fireplaces), where local wines are always a fixture of the menu. That in-house spa therapists are on call, that the property offers sightseeing tours via helicopter, or that wine tasting by vehicle, Harley-Davidson, horseback, bicycle, or tram are all on offer is actually, once you’ve visited La Residence, no surprise at all.

SIX SENSES DOURO VALLEY

Six Senses Douro Valley, located in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Douro Valley in Portugal, offers a heady combination of romantic 19th-century architecture and contemporary interiors, with the River Douro winding through the oldest wine-producing region in the world. The resort’s estate covers 19 acres, with 60 guest accommodations in what was once a historic manor house. The rooms, which feature a necessary blend of modern tech and vintage styling, truly have some of the most glorious views one could imagine — all of which showcase the vines and the river. The always-important dining options are a celebration of the region here, with much of the produce coming from the verdant valley and surrounding countryside, including an on-site organic vegetable and herb garden, and used at the Vale de Abraão Restaurant Open Kitchen and Terrace. There’s also a dining pop-up experience with dinner tables tucked into the woods by the river — the location and the menu are kept secret until the last minute — as well as a wine library featuring vintages from the valley. Don’t miss the behemoth 23,700-square-foot Six Senses Spa — one of the benchmarks of the brand — which highlights a range of locally inspired therapies in the Douro Valley. Naturally, grapes are incorporated. To maximize the wine-themed experience, Six Senses provides wine-and-dine river cruises, interactive oenology courses, visits to nearby wineries — where you will meet the winemakers — and even the opportunity to play winemaker for the day. And although it only comes once a year, harvest time in the fall (specifically September and October) is a great time to visit for a barefooted grape-stomping experience.

WHAREKAUHAU

COUNTRY ESTATE

If it feels like New Zealand is already at the ends of the earth, you haven’t seen anything yet. This is what it feels like the moment you arrive at Wharekauhau, which is set in the spectacular foothills of the Remutaka Mountain Range and the clifftops of Palliser Bay, located within the Kiwi country’s Wairarapa wine region, just outside of Wellington. In my opinion, Wharekauhau is distinctive and incredible for several things (one not being how difficult it is to pronounce). One: it is owned by Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley. Two: it is where Prince William and his princess, Kate Middleton, chose to vacation. Three: it is a place best accessed by helicopter. (How many hotels can you say that about?) Four: its house dog is named Merlot. Five: oh, the wines! You did know that this is a wine region, but did you know that Bill Foley also has his own wine labels? In New Zealand, those include Clifford Bay, Dashwood, Grove Mill, Roaring Meg, Mt. Difficulty, Martinborough Vineyard, Te Kairanga, and Vavasour — and a visit to most can be accommodated on what the hotel refers to as the “Signature Foley Wine Flight.” It’s an exclusive experience for hotel guests to venture to three Foley family vineyards in wine regions that span both the South and North islands by helicopter. It really is as baller as it sounds. And when you’re back at Wharekauhau, shoot for the stars and book the Foley Villa — a 4,500-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-level lodge with heated marble floors, an outdoor terrace, and complete privacy. Homemade cookies are included nightly (and yes, they are essential to your health).

THE YEATMAN HOTEL

The Yeatman Hotel has a swimming pool shaped like a decanter, and this illustrates how I felt when visiting the property: I wanted to dive right in. This property, in my opinion, is the one to beat in Porto, the city that gave its name to its signature drink: port. Set among the protected historic center of the cellars of the famous port wine houses in Vila Nova de Gaia, The Yeatman offers guests panoramic views over the Douro River, a magical respite from day-to-day life, and complete immersion into the world of port. Its proximity to WOW — the neighboring cultural district of seven museums including the Instagram-friendly Pink Palace, Planet Cork, and Porto Fashion and Fabric Museum; shops; over a dozen restaurants and bars; and even a wine school, all created by Adrian Bridge, the inventor of rosé port, CEO of port brand Taylor Fladgate, and owner of The Yeatman —a truly comprehensive destination. But back to the hotel. Why is this the one to beat? I’ll list the ways. Each room has authentic and original details, such as the use of traditional Portuguese tiles, with themed corridors that highlight the history of the city. Each room highlights a specific brand of Portuguese wine as well, with thoughtful details to match. My personal favorite, however, is the Bacchus suite — one of the hotel’s iconic master suites — which is appropriately named after the Roman god of wine. It extends onto a furnished conservatory with a fireplace and a private exterior terrace and includes a glorious round copper bathtub, a freestanding fireplace feature, and a large, rotating bed. (Arguably, one might prefer the Presidential suite, which features a wine barrel-shaped bed as well as its own swimming pool and garden.) But this hotel isn’t just impressive for its rooms alone: its signature eatery, The Yeatman Gastronomic Restaurant, led by chef Ricardo Costa, has held 2 Michelin stars since 2017; its grape-inspired spa, the Vinothérapie Spa by Caudalie (yes, another one!), is the first of its kind in Portugal; there are two infinity pools — one indoor, one outdoor — with spectacular views over Porto and the Douro River; there are weekly wine dinners, which always feature wines from a different producer; numerous wine tastings; and its cellars and award-winning wine list offer one of the most comprehensive collections of Portuguese wines in the world. See what I mean?

2023 Rolls-Royce Phantom

The crowning achievement.

BY TIM LAPPEN

ROLLS AND ROYCE. TWO INDIVIDUALS WITH THE NAMES CHARLES ROLLS and Henry Royce joined together in 1904 and created an automobile business. Soon, their names became inextricably bound in the annals of luxury automobile makers. No doubt that, upon seeing their names in the heading of this story, you’ve immediately conjured up some images. Perhaps those images include visions of Daddy Warbucks’ car, old photos of Hollywood stars arriving at premieres or award shows, or magazine articles lauding the winners at international concours events. You may even have envisioned a customized Rolls-Royce being used for such disparate tasks as ferrying Sir Lawrence of Arabia around the desert sands and carrying shahs going out to hunt tigers in India. Yes, Rolls-Royce is a storied name and has continued to burnish its well-deserved reputation during the 116-plus years since the company was founded.

For the past year or so, the company has focused on making just three models: the Phantom (the headliner of the brand and the largest of their cars); the Ghost (a four-door vehicle that, though a full-size sedan, is still quite a bit smaller than the Phantom); and the Cullinan (Rolls-Royce’s large SUV, which has been a hit for the company). However, not long before press time, Rolls-Royce announced the Spectre, its first production car to be fully electric — touted as the “world’s first ultra-luxury electric super coupe” — with customer deliveries set to commence later this year. Today, we are focusing on the Phantom.

The flag-bearer Phantom nameplate was first introduced in the mid-1920s and is now in its eighth generation, with Phantom VIII being introduced in 2017. One thing’s for sure: the Phantom is a B-I-G car: about 227 inches long (for the standard wheelbase car; the extended wheelbase car is over 8 inches longer); approximately 80 inches wide; about 65 inches tall; and over 5,700 pounds in weight (and several hundred pounds more for the extended wheelbase edition).

The cabin is ultra-quiet and amazingly luxurious — every surface is smooth and a pleasure to touch; everything that can be seen has been polished, painted, plated, or otherwise completed to an astounding level of perfection. All of the materials are of the highest caliber and feel substantial and well thought out. The vaunted heating and air conditioning duct ends are commented on by virtually everyone, as they feel as though they were carved from pure platinum. And that

may be one of the most apparent reasons that make Rolls-Royce the pinnacle of beauty and quality — an attention to detail that is so rarely seen these days.

Despite the Phantom’s considerable weight and noticeable proportions, the performance of this luxury supercar is exemplary — the 563 HP, twinturbocharged, 6.75-liter V-12 can motivate this stately vehicle from zero to 60 MPH in just over five seconds. Its top speed is about 155 MPH. Many people today think of Rolls-Royces, and especially Phantoms, as the wheels of cruising “boulevardiers” of the first order, but these cars can go, stop, and … wait for it … handle well, especially as their suspension systems are so sophisticated. They have rear-wheel steering, which makes the car surprisingly maneuverable, even when parking, and adds to the élan when driving at higher speeds.

High-tech features include the GPS system, which analyzes the location of the car as well as the speed in order to assist with smooth gear changes. Also, the Phantom’s camera system predicts the adjustments necessary to provide the most comfortable ride, as it can adjust spring rates, the suspension dampers, and even the active anti-roll bars. The amount of technology in the Phantom is both impressive and far beyond what one would find in most other vehicles.

The base price of the new Phantom is $475,000, but “mine” was so tricked out that the sticker price ended up being $628,300. What was added? An “iced bonnet” (satin-finished hood), special pinstriping, veneered fold-down picnic tables in back, a champagne refrigerator accessible from the rear seats, 22-inch forged rims, and more. In “Iguazu blue” with black wheels, it was stunning.

I loved my time with this Phantom. Even on short trips, it was a delight to be coddled, comforted, and luxuriated in the car’s cocoon-like environment. The seats are both supportive and supremely comfortable; the heating and air conditioning system is efficient and very unobtrusive; and the sound system is terrific. Merging onto the freeway certainly is no challenge, and cruising at higher speeds all day is not the least bit tiring.

Rolls-Royce co-founder Henry Royce is often credited with creating the motto for the company: “Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.” Sir Henry, you would be proud of the Phantom created by the company that you helped build over a century ago.

2022 Mercedes-Maybach S

580

Top of the line.

BY TIM LAPPEN

THOSE FAMILIAR WITH AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY WILL TELL YOU THAT Wilhelm Maybach was a very talented engine designer who went on to create great things during his lifetime (mid-1800s until 1929). His engines (some developed with Gottlieb Daimler) powered boats, automobiles, and even Zeppelins (the rigid “blimps” of the past). In current times, the name will be remembered as the ultra-luxury sub-brand that Mercedes-Benz debuted about 20 years ago. Those cars did not sell well, so the name and sub-brand were retired in 2013. The name was resurrected a few years later, and today it is used on the nameplate of the parent brand’s most elegant machines: the MercedesMaybach S 580 and S 680 and the Mercedes-Maybach GLS luxury SUV.

The Mercedes-Maybach is similar to the Mercedes S 580, though it is longer, more powerful, faster, and more expensive. The Maybach S 580 has a twinturbo, 4-liter V-8 engine assisted by an electric motor, with a combined 496 HP. The base price is $184,900. On the other hand, the S 680 sports a V-12 motor pumping out 621 HP and a base price of $229,000.

“My” Mercedes-Maybach was an S 580 painted in a luxurious two-tone of onyx black below “Kalahari gold” above the beltline and on the roof. I wasn’t too enthusiastic about the color when I read what I was getting, but in person, it is gorgeous. Offset by 21-inch “Champagne Flute” wheels ($1,300), the car has a great stance and is a real eye-catcher, especially as it is about 7 inches longer than the standard body on the S class. Other notable options on my S 580 were special aluminum and walnut interior trim ($3,200); special

champagne flutes with their own holder inside the trunk’s wine refrigerator (accessible from the back seat), a $3,200 option; and special leather seating ($8,000). All told, the $184,900 base price rose to $231,100 on my Maybach.

Due to its increased weight (over 5,200 pounds for the S 580 compared to 4,775 pounds for the standard S-class), the Maybach has the coveted ride that only a heavy car can achieve, since mass is so effecti ve at smoothing out the bumpy rides most cars experience on roads with rougher surfaces.

But don’t assume that the smooth ride and extreme comfort lead to a hohum performance, as the Maybach has the chops, too. The 0-60 MPH time is 4.7 seconds, and the top speed is 155 MPH. The car handles well, too, in a way that belies its heft, thanks to Mercedes-Benz’s well-known ability to create suspensions that are at once supple and high performance.

Driving the Maybach (which, by the way, is pronounced “my-bach”) is a pleasure. Acceleration is sharp and responsive; the ride is smooth and quiet; the sound of the engine is subdued but pleasant; and the driver’s comfort is terrific. The sound system is great, too, no doubt assisted by the copious amount of insulation and other sound-deadening technology that keep the mechanical noises at bay.

Coupling an attractive design with outstanding performance and a beautiful and commodious interior, for the Mercedes-Maybach S 580, it’s clear that the second time is a charm.

Glowing The Tips That Will Have Your SkiN Like A Dermatologist’s

BY BROOKE KLAIMAN

WHEN YOU THINK OF HEALTHY SKIN, YOU THINK OF YOUR dermatologist, a beauty influencer, a friend, or a family member that always manages to have glowing skin. In light of our envy of all who have picture-perfect skin, we decided to run to our Haute Beauty skin experts to find out how they have nurtured their dry, oily, or combination skin so that it’s at its very prime.

DR. OMAR A. IBRAHIMI, CONNECTICUT SKIN INSTITUTE | STAMFORD/GREENWICH, CT

Skin type: Oily, acne-prone skin

Trick to glowing skin: My favorite trick for getting skin to glow [is] frequent low-downtime laser procedures. I love to rotate a combination of “baby Fraxel,” Laser Genesis, and Hollywood peel treatments on a monthly basis. Each of these targets the skin in a unique way to improve the quality of your skin with very little downtime.

Products used: I love using CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser, and La Roche-Posay makes a great moisturizer for oily skin.

Products avoided: Thicker ointments tend to give me more breakouts.

DR. KIRAN MIAN, HUDSON DERMATOLOGY & LASER SURGERY | NEW YORK, NY

Skin type: Dry skin

Trick to glowing skin: The one thing I do for my skin when it needs a pick-me-up is a Laser Genesis treatment. It just makes my skin glow! A 1064nm laser, it’s safe for my skin type and has no downtime. The energy from the laser smooths out texture, plumps my skin to reduce pore size, and stimulates collagen production long term. It’s one of my favorite things to do before an event and as monthly maintenance. It’s cliche, but cliche for a reason. Diet and sleep affect our skin so much! If I eat clean, with lots of vita min C in my diet, get a sweat session three times a week, and sleep well, my skin is clear and glowing. When I am not doing these things, my skin is sallow and lifeless, despite all the creams! A healthy lifestyle is an essential foundation for healthy skin.

Products used: What works for me is adjusting my routine based on weather, stress, and lifestyle. I use gentle cleansers — my favorite is CeraVe Hydrating — and Skin Medicinals compounded tretinoin cream three times a week. My skin stays happy with glycolic acid for exfoliation a few times a week and a monthly Laser Genesis treatment.

Products avoided: I have to be careful with the [number] of acids I incorporate into my routine. Too many AHAs [alpha hydroxy acids], plus ascorbic acid, plus tretinoin, will give me irritation. What makes me break out is peptide creams! I haven’t found a formula that agrees with my skin for some reason.

DR. ANNA CHACON | MIAMI, FL

Skin type: Dry skin

Trick to glowing skin: Skin care is a strong passion of mine, and I find following a routine to be the key to my healthy skin. I try to avoid dairy and coffee throughout the day, as I noticed that it can at times cause an acne breakout. My evening routine consists of removing makeup with micellar water and washing my face with a gentle cleanser such as Cetaphil. I then apply tretinoin to my face every night at bedtime. Tretinoin is an important part of my skin care routine, as it encourages cell turnover and reduces acne scars and fine lines.

Products used: My skin care routine consists of waking up and using my sodium sulfacetamide (prescription sulfur) cleanser. I then use my SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF, which is a triple-antioxidant serum that protects the skin from environmental damage. I have noticed with the phloretin, my skin tone and texture have improved significantly. I then pat dry my face and apply my La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer. This moisturizer works best for me, as it has ceramides. I believe the most important ingredient in a moisturizer is ceramides. Ceramides function to create a sheath of protection or a barrier to prevent permeability. With this action, ceramides are beneficial for your skin care because of their ability to lock moisture into the skin, preventing dryness and irritation. Moreover, ceramides in your skin care products can also help in protecting your skin from environmental damage. Since ceramides are moisture locking, they can boost skin

hydration and can even have anti-aging effects. I then apply EltaMD UV Clear sunscreen and touch up every three to four hours.

Products avoided: My least favorite skin care product is benzoyl peroxide because it can be very irritating and burn if the percentage is too high or if it’s left too long on the skin. It can also ruin clothing. I don’t mind it as a cleanser, though.

DR. BERTHA BAUM | MIAMI, FL

Skin type: Sensitive, combination skin (oily on the T-zone and dry in surrounding areas), prone to rosacea

Trick to glowing skin: I like to stick with a skin care routine that is tailored for my skin based on the environment and on my actual skin type during that time. For glow, I love to use glycolic acid two times weekly, retinol nightly or as tolerated, and ingredients such as azelaic acid, tranexamic acid, and niacinamide, which give me brightening. These peptides will make my lines less noticeable. Vitamin C is a great antioxidant that I use every morning. My No. 1 friend for long-term glow is sunscreen. I personally prefer tinted mineral sunscreen, but any sunscreen that works well on your skin and with your lifestyle is what matters.

Products used: Most products for hydration work well. Fragrancefree is a must with my skin care products. I look for noncomedogenic products as well since I break out easily.

Products avoided: Chemical sunscreen tends to [break me out]. Certain types are worse than others, and that’s why I stick with mineral sunscreens on a daily basis. I have some chemical sunscreens that work well with my skin; those are the ones I use for my body and my face when I don’t have mineral sunscreen available.

DR. ELLEN BUROV | NEW YORK, NY

Skin type: Dry skin

Trick to glowing skin: There are a few tricks that I like for any skin: a good night’s sleep, good skin care routine, and sun avoidance. I don’t like soapy cleansers, and I don’t like to exfoliate too much since my skin is dry for the most part and is very sensitive. Too much cleansing and exfoliation disrupt the skin barrier and damage my skin.

Products used: A good moisturizer. I like “high-tech” moisturizers with modern anti-aging ingredients such as growth factors, peptides, green algae, and hyaluronic acid.

Products avoided: I usually don’t use gel-like products for my skin that don’t get absorbed well. I don’t like heavy, thick sunscreens. I can’t use any irritating products containing AHA/BHA [beta-hydroxy acid] in higher concentrations. If I need something like that, I would use it in a very low concentration to avoid any irritation. My preference is phytic acid since it’s much less irritating with less downtime.

Haute Beauty Hosts A Mind And Body Wellness Day At Showfields Miami

BY BROOKE KLAIMAN

AS YOU RUN FROM EVENT TO ART SHOW AND BACK TO YOUR favorite restaurant for a midday meal, it can’t hurt to dedicate time for your mind, body, and wellness. Art Basel Miami Beach is known to be one of the most intense weeks here in the 305, which is why we at Haute Beauty decided to use our experts and wellness powers to our advantage by hosting the first-ever Haute Beauty Wellness Day at the beautiful Showfields Miami space on December 1, 2022.

Wellness Day began with attendees heading straight to their Atman Spirit mats for a 30-minute class by the beautiful Alexis Gulliver, certified yoga instructor and developer of the ALIVE method. While guests were taking big inhales and exhales, flowing into position, and being surrounded by gratitude, our Haute Beauty expert and celebrity esthetician Lana Mar of Face Fit Bar was upstairs working on her facial fitness, literally. A unique concept, Face Fit Bar gives you a natural facelift without fillers or surgery. Mar and her team of estheticians provided each guest with 20-minute facial-fitness sessions, adding to the Zen of the day.

As the line of people grew and wellness day attendees awaited their turn to glow, guests socialized among themselves and enjoyed the other offerings available to them.

On tap in the drink department were Odyssey Elixir’s flavorful energy and focus drinks, Wölffer Estate’s Summer in a Bottle wine, Dr Smood’s refreshing cold-pressed juices, OTO CBD-infused mocktails, and Margs sparkling margaritas infused with real tequila and all-natural ingredients. While guests enjoyed their beverages, Gussi Hair’s new Mane Squeeze flat iron was also being put to use. Whether you were looking to straighten your hair, curl it, or give it a beachy look, the on-site hairstylist was ready to give you the glam you deserved.

For those who couldn’t make it to the day’s first yoga session, Gulliver began another session that flowed directly into a gorgeous sound healing experience by Emilia Garth.

As waves of people came and went, they were gifted goodie bags filled with Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta peels and peel pads, OTO CBD hand cream, Glosslab gift cards, Malin + Goetz Lip Moisturizer, Reset Bioscience Energy and Hydration shots, Primally Pure Deodorant, Charlotte’s Web CBD Balm Stick and Hemp Extract-Infused Sleep and Calm gummies, and IGK’s Good Behavior spray ― the stuff of a wellness guru’s dreams.

Essentially, there was no better way to kick off the month of December than to use the busy week of Art Basel to host an epic wellness day.

Louis Vuitton is a fashion house of codes: a house built on innate design rules that are undeniably Vuitton. For the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2023 Icons collection, Nicolas Ghesquière, the artistic director of women’s collections, reveals the dynamic persona of the Louis Vuitton lady. Ghesquière whisks us away into the effortlessly feminine personality of Louis Vuitton through airy silk crepe de Chine gowns and whimsical prints while also calling on the sophisticated character with tailored blazers and posh Peter Pan collars. The Louis Vuitton lady also likes to have fun; she is reinvented through the new Sparkle Pump and is carefree with classic handbags like the Capucines in a summer white and the Twist in a plush baby pink shearling. And above all, the Louis Vuitton lady is a lady true to the rules of the house.

THE WORLDS OF LOUIS VUITTON AND RENOWNED JAPANESE ARTIST YAYOI KUSAMA HAVE COLLIDED ONCE AGAIN — MAKING A GLOBAL RETURN LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

Ten years after debuting the special collaboration, Louis Vuitton has launched the sequel to its partnership with Yayoi Kusama. Best known as an avant-garde artist through her vibrant installations and unique perspective of infinity as expressed through dots, Kusama first painted a Louis Vuitton trunk in 2012. This made history for both her work as well as Louis Vuitton’s forward-thinking movement of tapping artists to tell the maison’s story. Today, Louis Vuitton and Kusama’s collaboration returns in a larger-than-life masterpiece. This second installment puts Kusama on an even bigger scale (quite literally with her figure seen towering over Louis Vuitton boutiques from Paris to Los Angeles), amplifying her extraordinary art and celebrating her as one of the most successful living female artists in the world — with a Louis Vuitton twist, of course.

Bolder. Louder. More extravagant. The new collaboration is allencompassing, including a range of product categories across menswear, womenswear, handbags, sunglasses, fragrances, and more, reimagined with Kusama’s signature motifs and themes of dots, flowers, pumpkins, and faces.

At the heart of both Kusama’s work and Louis Vuitton’s timeless heritage is the integral theme of infinity, which is woven throughout the collaboration. Emblematic of this notion of infinity are the iconic dots being seen around the world right now. Playfully painted dots in a primary color palette and sleek silver metal dots embellish all things Louis Vuitton, from classics like the Capucines and Neverfull to the interiors and exteriors of boutiques like those on New York’s Fifth Avenue and Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive.

“MY DESIRE WAS TO PREDICT AND MEASURE THE INFINITY OF THE UNBOUNDED UNIVERSE, FROM MY OWN POSITION IN IT, WITH DOTS.”

— KUSAMA IN HER AUTOBIOGRAPHY, INFINITY NET

INFINITY AND BEYOND …

Set to be a multi-drop installment, the highly anticipated second release will launch in Louis Vuitton stores on March 31, continuing the experiential elements of window displays, pop-ups, and anamorphic billboards, alongside augmented reality experiences and an extended reality game. Sparking joy for consumers and passersby alike, the Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama world transcends fashion and art and floats into infinity.

THE RENAISSANCE GREAT

Dior Lady 95.22 bag, price upon request; available at select Dior boutiques nationwide and 1-800-929-3467

Symbolic of time, the Lady 95.22 handbag’s name combines the year of its birth (1995) with the year it was created (2022), ultimately becoming a modern iteration of the handbag that has withstood fashion’s test of time. Originally getting its name from the late Princess Diana, the Lady Dior handbag has transcended being just a handbag and has become a design phenomenon. While Dior Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri’s reinterpretation of the bag takes on a new, elongated silhouette, it remains timeless. Ahead, Haute Living gives an exclusive look into the incredibly rare and exceptional savoir faire behind the new Lady 95.22 bag.

From conception to design execution, the handbag is crafted with the utmost attention to detail at the Dior ateliers. At first glance, one instantly recognizes the signature “Cannage” quilting pattern — perhaps the most notable design motif — on a macro scale. Achieved through an innovative high-frequency embossing technique in which meticulously sourced leather is cut by hand before wave energy is used to fabricate the perfect volume, the Macrocannage pattern instantly modernizes the style.

Perfected at the maison’s ateliers, the traditional technique of “piqué retourné,” or inside-out stitching mounting, is used in order to assemble the bag. This process requires unparalleled craftsmanship, extreme attention to detail, and patience. In fact, the bag itself takes three times longer to craft than the former Lady Dior, requiring intricacies that can only be mastered by hand due to the complexity of both the assembly of the Lady 95.22 as well as its new, distinct design details.

DANICA PATRICK IS OFF TO THE RACES AS HAUTE WINE SOCIETY’S NEWEST AMBASSADOR

HAUTE

IS

TO ANNOUNCE RECORD-BREAKING RACE car driver and world-renowned role model Danica Patrick as Haute Wine Society’s newest ambassador. The perfect candidate for the role, Patrick has taken on several new passions after retiring from her professional motor sports career, including food, fitness, and even starting her own wine labels, Somnium and Danica Rosé. An extraordinary dinner was held last October by Haute Living and The Macallan in celebration of the partnership and the excitement of the Formula One race. The magical night took place at The Loren at Lady Bird Lake — a luxury hotel that opened that same day in Austin, Texas — which offers upscale amenities, from stunning skyline views to a peaceful interior and exterior space. Upon arrival, guests were welcomed with a beautiful car display by Bentley. The Macallan National Brand Ambassador Katie Nahat raised a toast to Patrick in admiration of her bold efforts to empower women everywhere. Haute Media Group Senior Vice President April Donelson ended the night with a speech followed by Haute Living Editor-in-Chief Laura Schreffler proudly announcing the Haute Wine Society ambassadorship.
