MEEK MILL GETS REAL ABOUT THE COST OF FREEDOM, THE STRUGGLE TO KEEP IT REAL AND HOW HE GOT COMFORTABLE SHOWING VULNERABILITY ON HIS LATEST ALBUM, EXPENSIVE PAIN.

COVER STORY

WATCH: Audemars Piguet (his own) JEWELRY: His own

“I stayed with rap because rap was cooler in my community.

It happened to work out for me, but art’s always been in my heart.”

SHIRT: Meek Mill Expensive Pain PANTS: Mr. Saturday (his own) WATCH: Audemars Piguet (his own) JEWELRY: His own

When Meek Mill wants the world to fade away, he gets lost. Or maybe I should say the 34-year-old rapper from South Philly gets found, in the sense that he finds inner peace by hopping on one of his 25 dirt bikes and hitting the streets hard, the wind in his hair and the buzz of his bike a welcoming sound.

“When you ride, you’re free,” he explains from his New York City home during our October interview over Zoom, a huge, wildly colorful painting of his late friend Nipsey Hussle looming larger than life over his head. He himself has that same kind of plumage, peacock-brilliant in a bright yellow Supreme jacket and a T-shirt of his own design. “There’s no phone, nobody can bother you,” he continues. “You’re in your own world. You’re thinking about getting to your destination, your safety. You’re in your own zone.”

It’s no surprise that freedom is his priority. Up until July 2019, Meek, born Robert Rihmeek Williams, had been stuck in a seemingly endless and frustratingly familiar loop within the criminal justice system, shuffled in and out of prison, to and from court hearings, incarcerated or on house arrest, for more than a decade — all on technical probational violations stemming from a 2008 gun conviction. It’s always been a contentious case: the arresting officer was the lone testifying witness, and though he has since been discredited, it was enough to earn Meek a sentence of 11 to 23 months in jail with a probation period that seemed to last an eternity. His last incarceration in November 2017 — from a reckless driving charge in New York City for popping a wheelie — spurred the international #FreeMeekMill movement, spearheaded by Jay-Z and Philadelphia 76ers partner Michael Rubin (whose New York home served as our shoot location), which ultimately resulted in Meek’s release on bail in April 2018 and eventually led to his original conviction being overturned.

And now he is free. But it came at a cost — the price of which is the focus of his fifth studio album, Expensive Pain, his first effort since 2018’s Grammynominated Championships. It is a wonderfully descriptive, fabulously poetic title for a man who has rid himself of his literal shackles but is still feeling the effects of his metaphorical ones.

“There are so many different meanings behind Expensive Pain, but it’s basically everything I went through to get to where I am right now,” he explains. “I made my money off of everything I’ve been through: spending time in prison, growing up in poverty.”

As for the title track, he was in the studio with Brent Faiyaz, freestyling and laying down beats for the album, when the lyrics “This expensive pain/ went through some shit about this money/I seen some niggas change, expensive pain/A million on the Richard, and it’s plain/And it’s crazy, I never check the time in all expensive frames” spilled from his mouth, leading to one hell of a deep discussion. “We started talking about everything that was expensive pain to us. Having to be away from our families while we have to work to make money, we call that ‘expensive pain.’ I thought that phrase was fire,” he explains. The very next day, he made it his album’s title.

The record is in equal parts soul-searching, anthemic, explosive and highly confessional. Meek touches on topics including mental health and criminal justice reform and takes ownership of who he is, refusing to hide or

cower behind a public persona. But given that his life has played out so transparently in the public eye, that was never really an option anyway.

“My life is what it is,” he says with a shrug. “That’s why I always talk about protecting yourself in a dangerous environment. I grew up in Philadelphia, where there are 500 murders a year. It’s worse than a scary movie. I would like people to know who I am and where I come from and not just have them place a certain type of image on me. I have nothing to hide about my personal life. I ain’t living a criminal lifestyle. I won’t say I’m an angel, but I don’t do crime. Where I come from is so bad that it’s easy to talk about now, where I’m doing so good in my life.”

But as much as he’s an open book, there are things he deliberately keeps tucked away, especially when they pertain to his feelings. Take the track “Love Train” as an example. He raps “I tried to give you all my blessings, but you couldn’t receive it/’Cause you was listenin’ to people that was listenin’ to people/I had to get up and leave you ’cause you couldn’t even see it.” See? Heavy.

“On ‘Love Train’ I’m saying a lot of things that I don’t really want to say.

You know when you’re thinking about something but don’t want to tell everybody? That’s this. I’m being vulnerable in that song, saying things I don’t really want people to know about but that I say anyway, because that’s the way I felt. That track is the one with all my soul, my whole heart.

That’s my real feeling song,” he admits.

But because this is Meek Mill, the album still has his signature battle rap style, plenty of punch and collaborations for days. “Hot” with Moneybagg Yo and “Me (FWM)” featuring A$AP Ferg are club crowd-pleasers; “Ride for You” with Kehlani is a feel-good anthem that deep-dives into the glory days of hip-hop “; and Angels (RIP Lil Snupe)” is a heartfelt track dedicated to his late 18-year-old rap protégé, Lil Snupe. Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Young Thug, Vory, Giggs and Faiyaz also appear on the album, which debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot 200 chart October 1. Ahead of its release, Meek draped the cover art, created from an original painting by renowned abstract artist Nina Chanel Abney (whom he met on Clubhouse), across several landmarks and billboards across the country, including boats in Miami, buses in Philadelphia, murals in Los Angeles, billboards in Times Square and trains in Atlanta, to build the buzz his work so rightfully deserves.

If the album seems like a mixed bag, well, that was intentional; it’s how Meek operates. “I’m an organic artist,” he explains. “I don’t really record with artists that send songs unless it’s a super hit, something I know is extremely good. The way I do my music is this: me and A$AP Ferg might go the club or hang out after dinner and say, ‘Let’s go the studio to vibe,’ and we make songs. I record in New York, and there are always a lot of artists that I’m cool with who stop by here. Me and [Lil] Uzi are about to do this right now. I don’t know what type of music we’ll create, but when we put our energy together, we just cook. It’s a new, disruptive thing we’ve been doing. You don’t really plan stuff; you let the magic happen.”

Magic keeps happening because he follows one simple rule: to thine own self be true. “When I rap, I’m explaining my story and my pain in real time.

If you can’t relate to it in your world, at least you’ll experience it from my world, see what I went through. I try to say things that have happened to me that other people identify with. You don’t have to be from the hood to be betrayed. You don’t have to be from a bad environment to know loyalty or have morals. I try to say things that connect with people from different cultures, that resonate with everyone but are still directly part of my story.”

That includes his days in jail. While it was one of the worst times of his life, it also gave him an outlet to connect with fans and to bring others hope.

“I’d rap about how me going to prison as a millionaire was a depressing situation, and I’d receive letters from fans saying that my raps gave them the strength to push through their situations, too. I know the power of words, so I try to connect to people and give them the feeling that when they hear my music, they ain’t tripping. Other people are going through things that I’m going through, too. I think it’s important to have that connection. It’s my responsibility as an artist.” @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 17

But it’s also his fiscal responsibility as an artist, I would say, to indulge in the things that only true celebrities do, that “extra” we all covet that makes them, well, celebrities. And Meek definitely enjoys the perks of fame, even rapping about them on tracks like “Outside (100 MPH)” and “Sharing Locations.” But is he comfortable with them? Actually, surprisingly, not really. At heart, he’s still a punk kid from the rough part of Philly.

“I went to J. Cole’s [Oct. 4 show in Washington, D.C.] in a helicopter with a friend who just got out of prison,” he shares. “I don’t come from that background where you fly anywhere in a helicopter or live expensive. I haven’t gotten used to it yet, but I also try not to use that mind frame where I get used to it. I try to be humble and enjoy the [juxtaposition] of where I come from and where I’m at now.”

He is adamant, vehement even, about stressing the importance of normality in his life. I get it. Up until now, his life has been anything but.

And it’s impressive and potent that he refuses to adhere to the niceties dictated by society. He is who he is, we all know who he is, and he’s never going to be anything but that. That’s no mean feat in a modern world that’s dictated by pretense and picture-perfect curated lives.

“It’s always been important to me to be normal,” he says. “And as a celebrity, there’s a certain way you’re supposed to carry yourself. But I’ve always been kind of a rebel. I’m not perfect, and I’m not trying to say that I am. I’m not trying to look a certain way or let people put me in situations where I feel uncomfortable. I try to find a balance where I have enough of a respect barrier with people that they give me space so I can remain who I was before I came into the music industry.”

Mission accomplished.

THE PRICE OF FAME

Sometimes life isn’t fair. It can be a real bitch, to be honest. Not only did Meek Mill have the briefest taste of freedom before the pandemic shut the world down, but he also actually had Covid-19 — for a month— before anyone even knew what it was.

He went into full-on lockdown mode for half a year, sequestering himself at his home in Atlanta with his mom, aunt, sister and kids. And while he did work, he did not rap. This second form of house arrest was not conducive to artistic inspiration.

“I wasn’t in a rapping mood,” he admits. “I had a baby [Czar, now a year old]; a brand-new son. I wasn’t running the world like I usually do, so I [tuned into] my business side instead of my creative one. When it was time to get out of quarantine, I had the material that I thought was ready to drop. I had the album, but what I really wanted to do was fund the album myself this time.”

He’s definitely been making strides in a business sense. In addition to working with athleticwear retailer Fanatics, Meek is a co-owner of sports apparel retailer Lids, the largest seller of hats and licensed sports products in North America. He’s also the president of Dream Chasers; the record label is part of a joint venture with Roc Nation. He is a cofounder of the REFORM Alliance, a non-profit which launched in January 2019 that aims to advance criminal justice reform and eradicate outdated policies that perpetuate injustice in America. His partners in the organization are heavy hitters — Jay-Z, Michael Rubin, Robert Kraft, Robert F. Smith, Clara Wu Tsai, Laura Arnold, Michael Novogratz and Van Jones — but it was Meek who won this year’ss Nelson Mandela Changemaker Award for his work as cochair. And now he’s growing up, leveling up and looking even more closely at life beyond music.

“I’m just getting into the world of learning how to handle these companies,” he explains. “Quarantine was the perfect time to sit down and really learn how to control my financials and understand financials at a real level. I know how to count, how to add and subtract, but to understand how 18 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

“I’m successful. I’ve carried my family out of poverty.

I’m raising two sons. Those things make me happy.” to maintain businesses and how to keep my brand growing, I needed to do more. I’ve been in the game for 10 years; I have to be strategic at this point.”

So he learned the way that a modern entrepreneur would: Clubhouse.

“We called them ‘culture currency’ courses — you can be an artist, an athlete, in fashion, in the music industry, work in Silicon Valley — but you have to be somebody powerful. We’d have big group texts and also use Clubhouse for these meetings. We’d talk about art, Bitcoin, everything. Troy Carter, Lil Baby, Delaney — we had a group that came from all walks, and we’d trade game. That started in quarantine, and it never stopped.”

As previously mentioned, Clubhouse was how he found Nina Chanel, the artist who created his Expensive Pain album cover. And it was Nina and his Clubhouse crew that got him back into actually making art again. He created graffiti-inspired apparel — hoodies and T-shirts — in line with Nina’s style, which he not only drew himself but has been selling as NFTs. That the art resembles graffiti is, of course, no coincidence.

“I used to be an artist. When I was 6, 7 years old, I was into the breakdancing and spray-painting world. When I turned 12, [I turned to] the drug world, the violent world you need to get by, which disrupted me from my art. I stayed with rap because rap was cooler in my community. It happened to work out for me, but art’s always been in my heart. But now that I do music as a career, I get the chance to have fun with other things that I wouldn’t have otherwise,” he confides.

It’s just a hobby right now, he says, but he’s got a “vibe board” — vastly different from the vision board that exists only in his head — where he sketches and works on ideas.

Because Meek has such faith in himself and such drive, he’s at a place in his life where he will only do what he wants to. There’s been too much wasted time in his 34 years to squander any more.

“I really pursue what I want to do, what makes me happy,” he declares.

While that does include keeping his fans happy and trying new things, like acting (he starred in the 2020 independent drama Charm City Kings), he has to do what feels right, what feels true on a personal level, too. Even when that isn’t the easiest or kindest thing to do. Like telling his family to back off and give him space, for example.

“I could go to a family cookout with people I grew up in the same house with but haven’t seen in a while, and there might be 10 people talking to me at once because they’re excited to see me. But that would make me leave a family event a little bit faster because I’d be overwhelmed. My closest family members, they know my character. I’m a little shy — I don’t want to be put on the spot, especially at a family event. Finding your comfortability and giving the people you love that respect and not forgetting who you are is important.”

When I express surprise that Meek might describe himself as shy, he owns it. “I am shy,” he maintains. “I don’t like being on the spot. But you might see me on the stage, in front of 50,000, 100,000 people, and be like, ‘How are you shy?’ I wouldn’t say I’m fully shy, but I don’t like to be the center of attention. I’ve always been like that, since I was a kid. That’s carried on with me throughout my life.”

He’s certainly not shy when he’s in the club, though — then Meek is totally in the zone. When he sees someone he likes, he goes for it, albeit stealthily.

“If I want to get a girl’s number, I want to do that in private. I don’t want everyone looking my way. I’m sending a DM; I ain’t going to lie. If I can’t get to you and I like you, then that’s what it is. Also, sometimes you don’t

want to put a woman on the spot like that. A hundred eyes are going to turn when I walk in your direction. Being a celebrity, you’ve got to find a line where you create your own space and be comfortable enough to carry on and be a beast. I try to stay low, even when it’s lit.”

That’s the thing about Meek Mill. I haven’t known the guy long, but there is a raw honesty about him that speaks volumes. When he says something, regardless of whether he’s discussing his childhood of poverty or his current extreme wealth, it’s without inflection. This is him, all of him, every flaw. Take it or leave it.

Because we’re on the subject (and because he’s well versed on it), I ask him what he considers to be the greatest luxury in his life. The question is an easy one for him. “Coming up from any situation that is worse,” he says.

“Actually achieving my dreams and believing in myself. Knowing that I have, that I do, is the greatest feeling. I knew that one day I was going to be a millionaire, that I was going to take care of my family. And I have; I’m successful. I’ve carried my family out of poverty. I’m raising two sons.

Those things make me happy. Nobody in my family ever went to college.

I’m the first generation of people who even made it to a successful status of being past middle-class financials. That’s important to me, to be able to carry that weight. Obtaining that, manifesting that, is my greatest achievement.”

He always knew he was destined for greatness. He had faith, even as a child. His 10-year-old self knew that one day he would make it out of the hood and be someone of value. This determination has carried him a long way. “I had a vision in my head that I wasn’t going to be a normal person. I come from poverty, I come from failure. Only one percent of the people [that grew up where I did] make it, but I just made the decision that I would be that one percenter.”

Ironically, Meek’s eldest son, Rihmeek, is currently 10 years old. And in his dad’s opinion, that’s old enough to reach for the stars. He did at the same age, after all.

He says, “My son is playing football right now. I’ve been giving him lessons about working harder than all the other kids. I tell him to find the hardest-working person on his team and work harder than them. Build muscle fast, work out, be strong. I’m teaching him how to get ahead in life.

My father [was murdered when I was 5 years old]; I didn’t have anyone to tell me how to get ahead. I don’t want that for my son; he won’t experience what I had to go through. He’ll be able to have a faster way to get to where he wants to go in life.”

Meek might not have had his father as a guide, but he did have a teacher who inspired him. At the time, he didn’t quite realize that he was being inspired, but he gets it now. Oh, how he gets it.

“Back in the day, when we used to get in trouble, one of my teachers made me write on the chalkboard hundreds of times, ‘I have very high self-esteem.’ I used not to know why she made us write that, but now I realize that she knew exactly what we were going through at home, in our neighborhood. And because of that, I grew up with that mindset to have self-esteem, that I couldn’t fail. And if I did fail, that I was going to get up again until I won. It’s the greatest gift, being able to believe in myself. And it’s been working in my favor, so I’ll never stop.”

So what if that belief came at a price? Meek Mill is strong, and he’s resilient. This is one cost he can definitely afford.

Fish Lands +Sexy in Miami Good news for fans of Mayfair’s iconic Sexy Fish by Richard Caring: the lauded luxury restaurant is coming to Miami. Haute Living got an exclusive look.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

SET TO OPEN THIS FALL, SEXY FISH MIAMI HAS FOUND ITS HOME IN THE HEART OF

Brickell, on a cozy corner. Excitement is growing as locals and tourists wait for London’s sexiest restaurant to enter Miami’s culinary scene. Richard Caring, a businessman and restaurateur renowned in London for fashionable restaurants like the private members’ club Annabel’s and the Soho House group, will be replicating the same eclectic appeal of the London establishment in the Miami outpost.

Designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, Sexy Fish Miami is a glamorous space that blends a London aesthetic with vibrant Miami style. The interior is adorned with incredible artwork by Damien Hirst and an installation by Frank Gehry comprised of 26 fish lamps, a ceiling embellished with gold and a magnificent fish tank. In true Miami fashion, the restaurant will offer an exclusive late-night entertainment experience, allowing guests to enjoy the DJ’s tunes and food and drink options into the night.

Sexy Fish Miami will feature chef director Bjoern Weissgerber’s Asian-inspired menu, with a focus on Japan, serving signature dishes like duck salad, smoked tuna belly, crispy eringi mushroom, black cod and king crab and bone marrow along with the addition of bold, seasonally inspired flavors.

We’re calling it now — Sexy Fish Miami will soon be the new destination. We sat down with Weissgerber to hear more about the opening.

Haute Living: Congratulations! Was Miami always a market you had your eye on?

Bjoern Weissgerber: It is absolutely amazing to be back in Miami! There are very few cities as happening. The vibe, whether day or night, is always electric. From healthy and vibrant lunches to opulent dinners and nightlife, [the city] has been on our radar for a while. There is no better area for Sexy Fish to dive into than the bustling neighborhood of Brickell. I can’t wait to open our doors.

HL: What makes Sexy Fish so unique?

BW: Sexy Fish is something you cannot describe as just a restaurant. The menu and the changes in vibe are not unlike the ocean itself — always beautiful, vibrant, delicious and unexpected.

Together with our talented team, I have the privilege to source and feature the most amazing ingredients in our open kitchen. Our bespoke sushi display and open-flame robata grill are featured alongside the incredible artwork of Damian Hirst and Frank Gehry. Along with Sexy Fish’s entertainment, it is something that needs to be experienced to be understood.

HL: Will the dishes differ from what’s served at the London location?

BW: Our Miami menu will have a lot of our signature dishes and flavors, but with some indulgent additions using local produce and seafood, such as stone crab, red snapper, and dorade, as well as West Coast oysters and Santa Barbara uni, among other sexy culinary treasures.

HL: What dish are you most excited about debuting here in Miami?

BW: The Sexy Gold Fish and Crispy Caviar. For our late-night menu, we marinade Chilean sea bass, wrap it in gold, finish it on the robata and serve it with delicious crispy caviar. I’m thrilled to share this glamorous dining experience with our guests.

HL: What are a few must-try dishes?

BW: Some of our most iconic dishes are tuna belly, kombu cured and smoked, crispy duck salad with watermelon, sweet prawn sushi with burrata, yuzu and caviar, eringi mushroom tempura and truffle, king crab and bone marrow and — in my opinion — maybe the best cheesecake.

THE NEW RESTAURANT WAVE

Miami’s culinary scene continues to expand like never before. These are the new restaurants entering the South Beach scene.

MEET DALIA

Situated on iconic Ocean Drive, Meet Dalia brings a new culinary concept to the neighborhood: innovative Mediterranean cuisine. Helmed by Charles Khabouth, Danny Soberano and Ricardo Tabet of INK Entertainment, it’s the first of five to-open restaurants and bars that INK will bring to South Florida. “We are thrilled to expand our portfolio in Miami with the opening of Meet Dalia,” says founder and CEO Khabouth. The menu celebrates modern Mediterranean cuisine with a selection of classic coastal dishes with a signature spin, like fattouch with pomegranate vinaigrette, a fresh, flaky branzino en croute, and coconut galaktoboureko for dessert. The restaurant’s design nods to the building’s art deco heritage while paying tribute to its essence through jewels of old plaster, lavish light fixtures and Turkish rugs. 640 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach

WINKER’S DINER

David Grutman, founder of Groot Hospitality, which includes notable nightlife restaurants like Komodo, Papi Steak and Swan, stuns the Miami culinary scene once again — this time with a more casual concept. Winker’s Diner is a deeply personal project for Grutman, embodying a heartfelt wink-and-nod to a communal atmosphere and experience. “Winker’s is my version of a classic neighborhood diner, the kind you find all across America,” he says. “Our location is at the perfect intersection of a residential area and somewhere you find a lot of tourists in Miami. That said, whether you’re a local or a visitor, Winker’s was created to feel familiar and welcoming.” The diner is teeming with nostalgia with its retro color palette, teal-blue Pullman leather booths and bronzed-metal accents, yet it fits perfectly into the current Miami Beach vibe. The 240-seat, day-to-night outpost offers classic dishes like all-day breakfast plates and upgraded deli-style sandwiches with the Grutman elevation, as well as fun, personal touches like Dave’s Pastrami and Beckham’s Fish & Chips. “It’s the kind of place you can stop by almost on autopilot, knowing you’ll get great, easygoing comfort food, a cool cocktail, even a delicious milkshake,” Grutman says. 1575 Alton Road, Miami Beach

Jia

JIA

Jia, a modern Chinese dinner club, brings elevated Cantonese-style cuisine and eclectic elegance to South of Fifth. Owner Ken Ray, a local restaurant veteran and hospitality entrepreneur, is thrilled to be a part of the burgeoning neighborhood. “South of Fifth’s First Street has become a genuine culinary destination with powerhouse brands like Carbone, Estiatorio Milos, Papi Steak and the Prime restaurants — all with some of the most successful groups in the country behind them,” he says. “Great Chinese food is an extremely underrepresented category in Miami Beach, and with the massive influx of New Yorkers and West Coasters coming into the neighborhood, the timing for Jia is now.” Award-winning, internationally renowned executive chef Weng Choon “William” Lai brings his notable Cantonese expertise to the menu. One of Jia’s standout dishes is the Chef’s Master Char Siew, a honey-roasted pork dish representative of authentic Chinese barbecue culture.

But it’s not just about the food. Jia’s cocktail program is led by acclaimed local and internationally recognized bartender Michael Parish. The restaurant’s design is a fusion of Chinese style, art deco and tropical flair. 808 1st St, Miami Beach @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 23

MASTERPIECE Les Cabinotiers Westminster Sonnerie: Vacheron Constantin’s custom tribute to Johannes Vermeer.

JOHANNES VERMEER WAS A DUTCH PAINTER OF THE

17th century who was able to capture light as no other artist could.

He had a fondness for household scenes, which he painted in an intimate, lifelike style. While only 36 paintings by his hand are known today, some of them are among the world’s most famous works of art. While many are familiar with his masterpieces View of Delft or The Milkmaid, they are both surpassed in popularity

by Girl with a Pearl Earring. This painting shows elegance unlike any other. That’s why it was such a daunting task for Vacheron Constantin to recreate it on the side of its Les Cabinotiers Westminster Sonnerie at the request of a discerning connoisseur The brand called on Anita Porchet, one of the greatest enamel masters in the world. She started the painstaking work to recreate Vermeer’s finest painting, not only in miniature but also in enamel. The old master would without a doubt have approved, as the girl seems to ready to come alive at any moment. It took Porchet two years to complete the painting — but the creation of 30 HAUTE LIVING hautetime.com

the entire watch took an additional eight.

The dial of the watch looks classic, in off-white enamel with blue numerals and railroad track, and gives no hints of the complex movement underneath. Composed of 806 parts, caliber 3761 is fitted with a tourbillon and a grande and petite sonnerie with a Westminster chime. This means it can sound the passing of each quarter in the same way as the famed Big Ben in London.

For this, the watch is equipped with no less than five hammers and gongs. It is also uniquely fitted with a modus that makes it go silent between 11 p.m. and 9 a.m., ensuring a good night’s rest for its owner. The watch is equipped with two mainspring barrels, one for the striking mechanism and the other for timekeeping, giving it a power reserve of 80 hours.

As this watch is a bespoke commission, Vacheron Constantin will make only one example of the Les Cabinotiers Westminster Sonnerie Tribute to Johannes Vermeer. But the atelier is open for connoisseurs who might like to have something similar made.

+FASHION FUSION Hublot and Berluti celebrate five years of collaboration with a bang.

BY MARTIN GREEN

PHOTO COURTESY OF HUBLOT

HUBLOT AND BERLUTI HAVE FUSED FASHION AND

watchmaking, leather and titanium, form and substance. The partnership between the famous men’s fashion house and the most disruptive of the watchmaking brands, originally announced in 2016, has unveiled a new interpretation of the Big Bang Unico.

The Big Bang Unico Aluminio leverages this shared knowhow and provides an understated, elegant monochrome piece.

It is a Big Bang for true collectors and connoisseurs. As with every collaboration between Hublot and Berluti, this edition will be limited to 100 copies.

The emblematic patinated Venezia leather is at the heart of the polished titanium bezel as well as on the dial, where the indices and words “Swiss Made” are gauffered directly onto the surface. The leather is held between two pieces of sapphire glass whose cut reveals the gears of the Unico movement, a feat of technical prowess. Working with Berluti, a technique was developed to encapsulate natural leather hues and crystalize them in time; in this way, their beauty is rendered in an authentic and unchanging manner. As for the strap, it symbolizes the perfect fusion of the two worlds, and it is available in two versions: one in burnished Aluminio Venezia leather, the other in patinated Aluminio Venezia leather with the Script motif, exclusively for Japan.

Aluminio is one of Berluti’s signature patinas. It perfectly transcribes the light onto the different tones of the Venezia leather.

Hublot took responsibility for the new two-part bezel design.

With the help of a sticky, rigid resin, the first piece of the bezel — in leather, about 1mm thick — is inserted onto the second piece, in gray titanium, and then screwed onto the case of the watch. This will allow the bezel to be patinated in time, just like the strap.

To bring patinated Aluminio Venezia leather into harmony with its mechanical ensemble, the Hublot manufacture chose from the vast palette of materials at its disposal: titanium for the 44-mm case and its deployant clasp, resin for the central horn, tungsten for the oscillating weight, and satin-finished rhodium for the hands. Building on more than 40 years of groundbreaking design, Hublot has mastered the full spectrum of watchmaking materials and was thus able to create a Big Bang that is perfectly tuned to the nuances of the patinated Berluti leather.

The Big Bang Berluti Aluminio also reveals part of its beating heart. The gears of the Unico movement, an authentic manufacture self-winding Flyback chronograph with three full days of power reserve, can be admired thanks to the cut of the two pieces of sapphire glass that hold the leather on the dial side. A rare and contemporary piece, the Big Bang Unico Berluti Aluminio will be delivered in a special case, with a travel pouch and a shoehorn key ring with the Berluti logo.

Grand Seiko’s latest spring drive takes inspiration from cascading snow.

BY MARTIN GREEN

GRAND SEIKO FINDS A LOT OF INSPIRATION IN NATURE

around its Shinshu Watch Studio in Japan, the place where all Spring Drive models come to life. For its latest model, the brand captured the spirit of Shizuri-yuki. This is the natural phenomenon when freshly fallen snow cascades down from tree branches, creating a spectacular play of light. As we have grown accustomed to with Grand Seiko, it translated this beauty in the most sophisticated way in a timepiece, in which design and craftsmanship go hand in hand.

The case measures 38.5mm in diameter and is crafted from pink gold. Thanks to its overall height of just 10.2mm, it has a slim profile that is accentuated by a string of brilliant-cut diamonds. They are placed to follow the case’s design, with the precious stones gradually decreasing in size accordingly. This is the first reference to the snow-topped landscape around the Shinshu Watch Studio, with the second being the dial. Here the brand opted for a bright white color but gave it a unique texture that resembles freshly fallen snow in which the wind has created a distinct yet subtle pattern. It gives the watch a great sense of refinement.

Refinement is also what we find inside the case, where through a sapphire crystal insert in the rose gold caseback, caliber 9R31 is visible. This movement combines great looks with outstanding performance. Thanks to the unique Spring Drive technology, it is accurate to 15 seconds per month while offering a power reserve of a generous 72 hours. The finish of the movement is, in true Grand Seiko tradition, outstanding. The main plate has a subtle brushed finish against which the red rubies and blued screws stand out. An elegant power reserve indicator is also placed on the back of the watch, a welcome and helpful feature for a manualwind watch like this. To ensure exclusivity, this latest Grand Seiko creation is limited to 60 pieces.

ROGER DUBUIS IS LAUNCHING A NEW EXCALIBUR SPIDER

in collaboration with Lamborghini. The watch is once again an exemplary mix of the DNA of both brands, combining cutting-edge design with innovative materials. This latest addition to the Excalibur Spider Huracán collection gives center stage to Ceramic Composite Fiber (CCF). This highperformance material is normally used in the aerospace industry, in particular for rockets, yet after extensive research and development, Roger Dubuis made it suitable for use in watchmaking.

One of the things that makes this material so extraordinary is that it is even 20 percent lighter than carbon.

This fits perfectly in Roger Dubuis’s strategy to create watches that are like racing machines for the wrist. The CCF has a white color with a subtle yet distinct marble effect. The brand used it not only to craft the case but also as part of the movement. This makes the watch very good-looking, with an icy-cool appearance.

Roger Dubuis will make 88 pieces of this 45mm large Excalibur Spider Huracán powered by caliber RD630. This movement was developed with Lamborghini and has a few extraordinary features. The balance wheel, placed at 12 o’clock, has been placed at a 12-degree angle for increased precision. Opposite, we find the date function between the two mainspring barrels. This gives the Excalibur Spider Huracán a power reserve of 60 hours. The back of the watch is equally stunning, as there the oscillating weight is shaped like the rim of a Lamborghini Huracán.

The Excalibur Spider Huracán also continues the recently started tradition at Roger Dubuis to be dazzling by night.

For this, the brand not only applied Super-LumiNova on the hands and hour markers but also used it to decorate part of the bridges, the bezel, and even the strap. The unique capabilities of this Roger Dubuis shine, even at night. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 33

+The Final

Aventador Lamborghini’s flagship sees the last iconic release before going completely electric.

ITALIAN MANUFACTURER LAMBORGHINI HAS ANNOUNCED THAT

it is going electric. But first comes the luxury carmaker’s final Aventador, celebrating the iconic V12 super sports car and combustion engine. Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae is available in two variants: coupe and roadster.

After a glorious 10-year run, the V12 engine shines for one last time. “The Aventador LP 780-4 denotes the final, purest, timeless naturally aspirated production V12 Lamborghini,” says Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “It delivers the essential 12-cylinder experience in terms of inimitable design, engineering solutions and the most emotive driving experience and is the definitive Aventador, concluding an extraordinary era. It is the last of its kind: it delivers the maximum power and conclusive performance expected from Lamborghini’s current V12 engine, combined with our inimitable flagship’s design DNA. The Aventador was destined to become a classic from launch, and the Aventador LP 780-4 is the most beautiful expression of timeless design and technical solutions in a final edition: Ultimae.”

The 12-cylinder, 6.5-liter Longitudinale Posteriore (LP) will arrive in 2023. The engine delivers 780 CV: 40 CV more than the Aventador S, and 10 CV over the SVJ to its permanent four-wheel drive. It is the grand finale of the traditional V12 combustion engine and the ultimate Aventador in every sense. The Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 8.7 and a top speed of 355 km/h (coupe).

The active aero system’s rear wing moves into three positions — closed, maximum performance and maximum handling. The transmission is via Lamborghini’s lightweight Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) 7-speed shifting system, providing robotized gearshifts in up to 50 milliseconds. The Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae’s drive modes allow the pilot to select not only STRADA, SPORT and CORSA dynamic options, but in EGO mode choose parameters for the optimal setup of the Lamborghini active suspension (LMS), traction controls (engine, gearbox and four-wheel drive) and steering.

The Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae celebrates the Lamborghini Aventador’s complex yet elegant lines and surfaces: the culmination of the company’s 36 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com

aspirated-V12 design legacy. Paying homage to the benchmark performance of the SVJ and the ageless super sports elegance of the S model, it takes the best components of both to create a perfect balance between performance and dynamism with enduring sophistication.

The Aventador is limited to only 350 coupes and 250 roadsters in numbered editions, offering a refined yet dynamic, elegant yet distinctive representation of the last Aventador. Its silhouette, clean and unfettered, is as recognizable and timeless an outline as other V12 Lamborghini classics, such as Countach, Diablo and Murciélago. Offered as standard are 18 colors, with an unprecedented range of options, and more than 300 colors are available through Lamborghini Ad Personam, allowing owners to create their unique piece of Lamborghini V12 motoring history.

The Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae coupe is launched in a two-tone gray-ongray configuration, with lines and details such as the front splitter’s outline and “teeth” picked out in matte red Rosso Mimir, with the accent line continuing along with the car with matching accents on the rear fins of the visible carbonfiber rear diffuser: elite performance and design purity in perfect harmony. The roof is also offered in visible carbon fiber on the Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae roadster. Silver Dianthus 20” and 21” forged alloys come as standard together with further 20” and 21” options in Dianthus, Leiron and Nireo in bronze, black and titanium, fitted with Pirelli PZero Corsa tires.

The matte Grigio Acheso and Grigio Teca exterior colors’ elegant yet sporty two-tone is echoed in the interior: black leather and Alcantara base materials feature stitching and trim in a gray complementary to the exterior, with Y seat inserts in black Alcantara. The LP 780-4’s comfort seat is taken from the Aventador S, with the Ultimae name embroidered into the seat bolster, while the A-pillar driver dashboard area carries the 001 of 350/250 reference to the limited edition. The Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae roadster is launched in Blu Tawaret and Blu Nethuns with high-gloss black carbon-fiber roof panels.

The next generation of Lamborghini’s V12 engine will offer a naturally aspirated engine with an augmented electric hybrid system. This extraordinary combination will be the best of both worlds.

+Mulliner’s First

Electrified Bentley The ultimate in four-door luxury grand touring was revealed at Monterey Car Week in California.

BY NIKITA VIVEK PAWAR

luxury grand touring: the first electrified Bentley. Named Flying Spur Mulliner, the new GT can enjoy a technically advanced V6 hybrid powertrain, the emotional V8 or endless waves of torque from the W12. Revealed at California’s prestigious Monterey Car Week, the elegantly appointed sedan sits at the pinnacle of the Flying Spur family, combining the very finest in modern craftsmanship and breathtaking luxury.

The most luxurious Flying Spur to date has been created and developed by Bentley Mulliner and designed, engineered and handcrafted in Great Britain. Taking its place as the flagship of the Bentley range, it will appeal to customers who desire an even greater focus on elegant details. Beautifully appointed detailing includes exclusive 22-inch wheels in a gray painted and polished finish with self-levelling wheel caps that remain upright as the wheels rotate, a “double diamond” front grille and chrome front lower grille that are matched by bespoke Mulliner-branded wing vents, and Satin Silver painted mirror caps. The iconic Bentley Flying B is electronically deployed and illuminated, along with jewel caps for fuel and oil.

An example of one of the curated interiors — Ascot — is a combination of Imperial Blue leather on the instrument panel, door trim and headlining and a light tan leather called Camel emphasizing the style of the seats. White micropiping, embroidery and accent lines add a third color. Other options, such as Flare and Sirius, add bolder combinations, including Hotspur and Beluga or Linen and Brunel, both with a silver accent. The Mulliner Driving Specification is fitted as standard, bringing the “diamond-in-diamond” quilting to the seats and threedimensional leather to the doors. The interior quilting involves an embroidery process that took 18 months to develop. Each diamond contains precisely 712 38 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com

individual stitches — each one aligned to the exact center of the diamond it creates The classic Bentley theme continues in the LED driver’s instrument panel, with stylish new and exclusive Mulliner graphics. The now-famous Bentley Rotating Display, sports pedals, heated duo-tone 3-spoke steering wheel and panoramic sunroof add to the luxurious ambience. Unique electrically operated picnic tables are mounted to the rear of the front seats and can be deployed with a single button press. The veneered tables feature a unique overlay with lower and self level to reveal a leather-trimmed surface with a recess for a pen or stylus.

Flying Spur Mulliner customers receive leather-bound keys in a handcrafted presentation box that matches the three-color cabin of their car. The two keys themselves are provided in similarly color-matched cases with contrast stitching.

The Flying Spur Mulliner is available with Bentley’s V8 and W12 powertrains and the new V6 hybrid. When equipped with Bentley’s 6.0-liter, twinturbocharged W12, the car accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and can reach a top speed of 207 mph (333 km/h). The new generation 4.0-liter, twinturbocharged V8 delivers a top speed of 198 mph (318 km/h) and 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds. The new V6 hybrid accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds), with a top speed of 177 mph (285 km/h).

launched a pair of exclusive new Range Rover special editions created by its SV Bespoke personalization team. The Range Rover SVAutobiography Ultimate editions represent the pinnacle of Land Rover’s luxury SUV family, elevating SVAutobiography and SVAutobiography Dynamic models even higher with a suite of complementary hand-finished SV Bespoke features. Curated by the SV Bespoke commissioning experts at the Special Vehicle Operations Technical Center in the U.K., the Ultimate editions showcase the full range of personalization options applied to the timeless Range Rover design.

“Range Rover has defined the luxury SUV segment for more than half a century, with our SVAutobiography models offering customers a world-class travel experience — whether driving or being driven,” said Mark Turner, commercial director of Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations. “These new Ultimate editions elevate that refinement and sophistication even further.”

The Ultimate edition has satin-finished Orchard Green paintwork complemented by a Narvik Black roof and copper detailing. The attention to detail extends to the Gloss Black knurled infill and copper-edged metal Range Rover badging on the bonnet and tailgate. This also includes a copper-plated and black enamel SV roundel on the B-pillar, SV roundels embroidered on all four headrests, and illuminated Ultimate-edition treadplates. The finishing touch is a “SV Bespoke Ultimate edition” commissioning plaque on the center console, complete with copper-finished SV roundel.

The 22-inch alloy wheels feature a five-split-spoke design finished in Gloss Dark Grey with contrast Diamond Turned finish, while side vent, bonnet finisher, grille and front bumper accents are all finished in Graphite Atlas. Inside, a knurled finish for the rotary shift controller, starter button and pedals plus anodized red paddle shifters underline the performance focus of the SVAutobiography Dynamic.

Priced at $250,000, each car will be hand-built by Land Rover’s SV Bespoke team at Special Vehicle Operations in England. The recommended Ultimate edition specification features Vintage Tan leather interior trim and Copper Weave Carbon Fiber finishers. Customers can also opt for leather upholstery from the Italian artisans at Poltrona Frau for a truly cosseting experience.

The flagship model is available with a choice of powertrains, including the 565PS Supercharged V8 petrol and highly efficient P400e plug-in hybrid, capable of up to 40km (25 miles) all-electric driving.

Land Rover ’s advanced Dynamic Response active roll control system also enhances composure. At the same time, the ride height is lowered by 8mm — delivering more engaging driving dynamics and a more purposeful stance.

The Ultimate edition can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in around 5.4 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph. Originally launched at the Paris Motor Show in 2012, this Range Rover variant is still a raging success. @hauteauto HAUTE LIVING 39

The Ferretti Yachts 1000 is the result of collaboration between the Italian shipyard’s Product Strategy Committee, led by Piero Ferrari; the Ferretti Group Engineering Department; architect Filippo Salvetti, for the exteriors; and Ideaeitalia, for the interior concept. Versatile and suited to all markets, Ferretti Yachts 1000 reshapes space and changes the whole approach to adapt to the owner’s various needs. The first Ferretti Yachts 1000 features classic styling, with a mood defined by soft, balanced colors and subtle contrasts. The other option is contemporary styling with fresh tones and bolder colors.

The suavely understated design, featuring clean lines and sophisticated materials, conveys a sense of refined luxury. The exterior styling reprises the design philosophy introduced with the latest models: sporty lines dominate a profile featuring new glass side panels aft and amidship. For the first time in the brand’s history, Ferretti Yachts 1000 uses carbon fiber extensively on various parts of the superstructure and hardtop. Adding to the contours of the rear door, on the walkways and the stairway up to the flybridge, and encasing the external helm station is teak wood — ensuring longevity and durability.

Ferretti Yachts 1000 redefines the stern concept with 40 square meters of livable space, on a par with a superyacht. It features a beach club in the true sense of the term, where direct access to the swim platform from the cockpit creates an outdoor wellness area in contact with the water: an open space for adventure and fun. A revolutionary concept makes it easy to leave the water when the swim platform is submerged by opening up three steps on either side of the platform as it is lowered, continuing the stairway down from the cockpit. This design, developed entirely by the Engineering Department, is a Ferretti Group patent.

The new yacht offers an innovative take on the distribution of onboard flows: two staircases provide access to the 55-square-meter flybridge and from there to the bow area, ensuring its total privacy. The cockpit also includes access to the side walkways on the main deck leading to the

salon and from there to the raised helm station and flybridge, making it easier for the owner, guests and crew to move around the yacht. The flybridge helm station has two electrically adjustable Poltrona Frau pilot seats and two copilot seats on the opposite side.

The space separating the salon from the night area on the lower deck is personalized with a curved smoked glass panel and a ribbed partition with an electric opening mechanism. When open, the partition reveals a bar counter and connects the dining area with the galley.

The interior design is elegant and modern while respecting the boatbuilding tradition imprinted in Ferretti Yachts’ DNA. The versatility of the interiors translates into a layout that leaves the owner ample choice to design their own onboard experience. Large full-height windows accentuate the feeling of contact with the water and let natural light flood in. At the same time, the freestanding furniture conveys a sense of lightness, and the contours of the geometrical detailing have a unique style. Walnut wood is used throughout in various ways: flamecolored and bold for the furniture, striped and softer for the walls, and ribbed for unique accents.

The Ferretti Yachts 1000 can host up to ten guests, with the lower deck housing four twin double cabins with ensuite bathrooms. The two forward cabins can have either two double beds or four single beds. The crew quarters are located in the bow and consist of a dinette with an extending table, and around it a spacious captain’s cabin with its bathroom and two double cabins, plus an additional bathroom, for five crew members. With an entrance from the bow, the owner’s suite welcomes you with custom-made furnishings. A day toilet precedes the suite and is entered through a door fitted with a functional retractable handle. The garage can accommodate a Williams Dieseljet 445 tender, a three-seater jet ski, and even two Seabobs and may also be reached through an independent entrance on the starboard side.

The first Ferretti Yachts 1000 unit is equipped with twin 2638 mhp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, driving the yacht to a top speed of 28 knots and a cruising speed of 24 knots (preliminary data). The standard version mounts a pair of 2217 mhp MTU 16V 2000 M86 engines, with a top speed of 24 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots (preliminary data). The new flagship can also be fitted on request with gyroscopic stabilization combined with stabilizer fins to ensure maximum comfort and silent running both at anchor in the roadstead and cruising.

Superyacht With a nod to the past, the Benetti Motopanfilo 37M is inspired by the company’s iconic navettes of the 1960s.

BY NIKITA VIVEK PAWAR

The 36.8m (120’9”) yacht is named after the leisure yachts owned by the likes of Prince Rainier and David Bowie in their day; the desirability factor is synonymous with the stylish luxury they convey. The first unit of the Motopafilo 37M was introduced in a ceremony held in Viareggio.

The fiberglass and composite yacht was designed by Francesco Struglia in collaboration with Benetti Yachts. The lines of this yacht give a retro nod to Benetti’s original features, while her imaginative interior displays fresh creativity from Lazzarini Pickering Architetti. The superyacht incorporates high windows to let in abundant sunlight while creating numerous places to relax and rejuvenate.

Ensuring a degree of elegant nostalgia, the main focus is to emphasize the superb interior volume and flexible spaces. The highlight of the exteriors is the smooth 1960s clamshell silhouette of the excellent beach club area, which employs modern tech for access with an integrated stern swim platform/terrace. The wooden bulkheads are replaced by glass, and the unique staterooms hug the curves of the hull, clearly defined by the overall shape with no straight walls.

The Benetti 37M features a modern-style saloon and the owner’s suite on the main deck, while four comfortable guest cabins and three cabins for six crew members are located on the lower deck. Connecting the lobby and 42 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com

the central mast, a spiral staircase rises through two decks, accompanying guests to the sky lounge on the upper deck. The aft part of the upper deck is specially designed for convivial moments in the open air, with areas for relaxation, conversation and sunbathing. The captain’s cabin is adjacent to the wheelhouse, and on the exterior toward the bow, guests are welcomed by a hot tub and sunbeds.

The displacement hull is designed by P.L.A.N.A. (Pierluigi Ausonio Naval Architecture) and ensures smooth navigation and maximum comfort. The yacht is powered by a pair of M.A.N. V12s of 1029 kW (upgradable to 1213 kW) each, which guarantee a maximum speed of 16 or 18 knots depending on the engines chosen, with a range of 3,800 nautical miles at the 10-knot cruising speed.

Ocean Independence has announced the sale of hull No. 2. Ocean Independence sales broker Lukas Stratmann represented the buyer, with delivery anticipated for May 2022. Stratmann commented, “For me, the Benetti Motopanfilo 37M is the perfection of simplicity, bringing iconic elements of a classic ’60s heritage combined with decidedly 21st-century thinking.”

SURPASSING THE SUPERYACHTS SECTOR, AMERICAN YACHT

designer Steve Kozloff’s Galleon takes gigayachts to a new level. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the American designer has outdone himself with his Goliath series. His latest superyacht is an expansive 160-meter gigayacht with eight decks and 20 private residences, which could also be turned in one piece by a singular owner.

At first glance, Galleon reinterprets the 16th-century Spanish cargo carrier; however, this iteration features a multideck facade and four towering masts, not too dissimilar to the original galleon boats.

Inspired by the sailing boats of the Spanish Armada, Galleon offers the best of the luxury and experiences one would wish for on land.

Most sailing yachts are equipped with staterooms and elements for dining, entertaining and leisure; Galleon goes full out with over 350 facilities, including full-size courts for basketball, tennis and handball, a floating park, and much more. It is equipped with four full-beam garages built for six luxury speedboat tenders, four U-Boat Worx NEMO submarines, six rib tenders, port and starboard, 21 personal watercraft and more.

The gigayacht also features a sports center with six courts, a café, a pub and a restaurant, while the upper aft deck has a lounging area, an expansive luxury bar, and a 74’ x 32’ pool. One level below the bridge deck is a 44.5’ x 35’ indoor pool. Both pools include the Kozloff invention of an automated hardcover that becomes a gazebo when the pools are in use. When not in use, the hardcovers seal the pool, so there is no need to drain in rough conditions. The yacht also features a 4,500-sq-ft (450m2) fully enclosed hangar that can hold ten helicopters and an aircraft maintenance facility. On the upper forward decks are two lazy river pools connected by a waterslide. Described by Kozloff as a “sailing cruise ship,” the eight-decker yacht can host up to 200 guests with a crew of 150.

As for power, Kozloff envisions Galleon with five diesel-electric engines that would together deliver 10,000 hp. The gigayacht would also be equipped with four DynaRigs that give a total sail area of 105,220 square feet and supplement propulsion with wind power.

With a top speed of 19 knots, Galleon could cover 10,000 nautical miles while travelling at the cruising speed of 10 knots. Kozloff also adds that Galleon could be hybrid or electric.

Azimut Yachts enters the world of tripledeckers with the Grande Trideck.

BY NIKITA VIVEK PAWAR

THE FLAGSHIP SUPERYACHT FROM AZIMUT YACHTS IS THE SHIPYARD’S

entry into the triple-deck sector and stands true to her name: Grande Trideck. The Grande Trideck is 38.2 meters long and 7.9 meters wide, the largest boat ever built by the shipyard, but it’s also the new symbol of the brand’s innovative DNA. The Trideck was born from Azimut Yachts’ close collaboration with Alberto Mancini, who penned the exterior design, and Pierluigi Ausonio, who worked with the Azimut Benetti Research and Development Department on the naval architecture. The Trideck welcomes her guests through a central royal staircase, reaching the quay from the half-raised sea view terrace. Guaranteeing abundant light and dynamic external lines, Mancini inserted a mezzanine staggered deck at the stern, the sea view terrace, and other broad spaces across the Trideck. This is the principle of + One, a new design concept and a testament to Azimut Yachts’ innovative capacity; the feature offers the owner four cascading terraces onto the sea, unique in function, size and flexibility. The clean lines dominate everything, from the large windows that create a continuous, uninterrupted surface up to the stern to the sloping windshield that ends with a vertical bare-headed windbreak on the sun deck.

The sea view terrace is an open stage, a new cantilevered area that precedes the traditional cockpit. Raised above the water’s surface and conceived as a living room overlooking the water, the floating platform keeps in touch with the sun and the sea at once. The sea view terrace also has another advantage; it gives height to the underlying beach area, to be used in all its width as there is a separate garage for tenders and toys. It’s a true beach on the sea with two meters of headroom and cut-outs in the sidewalls. During stops at anchor, the hinged transom opens to increase the available surface to more than 30 square meters. The beach area is equipped to connect guests directly with the sea, fully customizable in furnishing and served by a day head and wet bar.

In addition to the sea view terrace and beach area, Mancini’s project includes a more secluded outdoor area. On the main deck, a few steps below the sea view

terrace, the cockpit becomes a private patio, a protected and reserved living area perfect for eating or lounging while moored stern-to. It is a hybrid area, located outdoors yet indoors, a natural extension of the main salon into plein air and blurring the threshold for an even smoother transition.

As with the other models in the Grande Collection, Azimut Yachts relied on Italian interior designer Achille Salvagni to design the interior spaces and furnishings. The designer extensively breaks stereotypes for each area. The goal is to transform the yacht into a place where the owner can live without constraints, in a more liquid and accommodating space. To this end, the interiors have been dilated and integrated with the external areas to become extensions of one another, a harmonious continuum.

Access to the lounge from the private patio is smooth and effortless. Entering, one finds an airy, bright environment thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, with soft colors for the fabrics and the walls livened by glossy mahogany inserts that accentuate their elegance with contrast. The heart of the space features large enveloping sofas with soft and seductive lines, armchairs with a unique design, and coffee tables made in a full-mould metal bath. Noteworthy are the circular elements embedded in the ceiling, a decoration that recalls lunar craters and makes the white lacquered ceilings, already characterized by asymmetrical cuts, even more particular.

The Grande Trideck can host up to 12 guests in four ensuite guest cabins: two VIPs aft and two guest cabins forward situated on the lower deck. The owner’s VIP cabin is located on the upper deck, with breathtaking views of the sea.

The Azimut Trideck offers innovative design solutions, starting from the tonnage, which remains below 300 GT despite the generous interior volume. The most significant element from a technological point of view is the debut of the new second-generation D2P® Displacement to Planing hull, which significantly reduces consumption, together with the extensive use of carbon fiber. The Trideck offers comparable and sometimes lower consumption figures than her smaller sister, the Grande 35 Metri, which was already best in class. The displacement hull manages to be 15 percent more efficient at a cruising speed and increases fuel efficiency by over 40 percent. Cruising comfort is improved by a highly integrated software called Argo, designed and supplied by CMC Marine, to automatically harmonize the movement of the electronic stabilizing fins with the autopilot, avoiding waste and ensuring smooth sailing.

Grande Trideck has a dual-motor option — a pair of MTUs of 2400 or 2600 hp each. The first model under test, with an engine of 2600 hp, recorded a maximum speed of 24 knots, a range of 700 miles at 19 knots and, at a cruising speed of 12 knots, an autonomy of over 1700 miles. With a lithium battery pack of about 130 kWh, the Trideck can operate the principal onboard utilities with the generators switched off for up to four hours during the day and eight hours at night.

For even more freedom, owners can add hotel mode, enabling them to relax anchored in a bay with zero emissions and in total silence.

After 12 months of construction, the Tommaso Spadolini’s Explorer 495 is set to make its long-awaited debut.

BY NIKITA VIVEK PAWAR

GREAT CRUISING RANGE, COMFORT ON BOARD AND SOCIAL LAYOUT

are the three concepts that guided Tommaso Spadolini in designing the new Explorer 49.5. The project, started a year ago and commissioned by an Italian owner, is now in the final stages before construction.

“The owner’s demands were clear from the very beginning,” Spadolini says. “First of all, to have large spaces, with as few differences in level as possible, and to have them covered and protected from the wind so the yacht could be enjoyed not just in the summer but midseason as well. Then they asked for a lift connecting all the bridges, and, finally, for a flying bridge that wasn’t a classic flying bridge!”

Spadolini designed a flybridge accessible by a lift, a staircase for guests and a service staircase for the crew. In addition to the protection provided by the hardtop, it is possible to fit a sail-inspired sprayhood, which protects the flybridge on three sides when at anchor in a roadstead. The structure wasn’t designed just as an area to relax in, with the classic structural sundeck, but as a meeting place for the owner and his family around the central galley unit, the large worktops and the table for 12.

One of the distinguishing features in the exterior is the absence of fixed sunbathing areas, also a specific request from the owner. Some umbrellas and sunbeds can be removed as required. A perfect example of this is the “furnishable” helipad area, which makes full use of the space provided by the hull design at the bow, which widens in its upper section to comply with the touch-and-go parameters. These accessories also furnish the large flush deck cockpit that conceals a swimming pool. When closed, it remains perfectly integrated into the flooring; a hydraulic system raises it by 70 centimeters, and it can be filled with seawater and enjoyed while sailing. Moving toward the stern, the transformer in the center of the large swim platform allows people to get on or off the dinghy comfortably.

“We also designed a second service tender, because one of the owner’s requests was that the side-opening aft garage should be able to accommodate a tender of at least six meters, in aluminium, with a bow that can be opened to bring ashore the motocross bikes and the quad that will be on board,” says Spadolini. “A rescue boat will be positioned at the bow.”

From the cockpit on the main deck, it’s just a step down to a proper lounge area sheltered by the superstructure of the upper deck. Sliding glass doors, when open, can be integrated with the interior living room with sofas and a dining area, eliminating any separation between inside and outside and creating a single large living area.

The full-beam master suite on the main deck has a study, walk-in wardrobe and double bathroom with a central shower. There are two twin cabins with twin beds and ensuite bathrooms in the central section of the lower deck, which can also be reached by lift. The captain’s cabin is aft of the wheelhouse on the upper deck. The crew area occupies the forward section of the lower deck with an enormous mess area, professional galley and four cabins, all with bathrooms and laundry facilities. The 1.5-meter-high technical spaces of the lower deck house the cold rooms.

The Explorer 49.5 will be built with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure, and Spadolini has managed to keep it under 500 GT: a vital feature for a 49.5-meter yacht, and also a request from the owner.

“We are currently finalizing the full technical specification: the Explorer 49.5 will have a guaranteed transatlantic range with a speed of ten knots using CAT engines. Everything has been designed to safely cope with extreme navigations, such as those in the Arctic Sea,” Spadolini says.

With the project now almost complete, it’s time to choose the shipyard that will construct it. “We are considering several possibilities,” Spadolini confides.

“For now, all we can say is that it will definitely be built in Italy.” @hauteauto HAUTE LIVING 45

INJECTABLES

Haute Beauty experts provide tips to minimize bruising from injectables.

some time. They’re convenient, offer almost instant results and are considered a low-risk treatment. We sat down with Haute Beauty experts to discuss what to avoid before getting injectables, as well as tips and tricks to prevent bruising and swelling.

DR. JEFFREY LEE | BREAST AUGMENTATION | BOSTON

The most common recommendation is to avoid aspirin and ibuprofen.

Also, ask about certain supplements and/or vitamins you are taking, as some can also increase your chance of bruising. When you show up to your appointment, take off any makeup, as you want your injector to see your face as is. Remember your injector is there to help you feel better about your face, so don’t try to hide anything from him or her!

When it comes to decreasing your risk of bruising or swelling, I tell my patients to ice that day if possible and to avoid strenuous activity or anything that gets their heart rate up for the rest of the day. If you’re getting your lips done, I generally recommend sleeping with your head up a little bit on an extra pillow or two.

DR. JASON BLOOM | FACE | PHILADELPHIA AREA

To prevent bruising and swelling from injectable treatments, we usually have patients avoid any NSAIDs, aspirin, herbals or medications that can thin the blood for about a week before treatment. Additionally, avoiding alcohol for about 24 hours before and after treatment can help to prevent bruising. Alcohol can have a vasodilatory effect, and abstaining for a day before injections can help. Also, arnica montana pills or sublingual tablets can be taken for four or five days before and after treatment to prevent bruising and swelling. I am also working with MEND Nutrition to create a cosmetic supplement that can be taken around injectable treatments to help reduce the risk of swelling and bruising. While I give it to all of my facelift patients, we are investigating the role of a shorter course for injectables.

I think equally as important as some of the things you can do beforehand 48 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty

are the things that can be done immediately after and in the days surrounding treatment. The application of ice packs to the injected areas for a day or so after really reduces swelling and bruising, and I recommend it for every patient. The cold helps to vasoconstrict the blood vessels and reduce bruising. I also tell patients to avoid strenuous exercise for about 24 hours after treatment, because the increased heart rate and blood flow aren’t great for bruising. Taking an antihistamine the night after injectables can also help to reduce swelling, and I usually recommend that to patients who’ve had injections in areas more sensitive to swelling, like tear troughs and lips.

Finally, if patients do get bruises or swelling, which is sometimes inevitable, I love the arnica hydrogel pads that can adhere to the skin called OcuMend by Cearna. These cooling gel pads have high levels of arnica and another homeopathic medication called Ledum, which helps to decrease inflammation and bruising.

DR. KIRAN GILL | BODY | NAPLES, FLORIDA

Swelling, bruising and redness are all possible side effects of dermal filler and neurotoxin injections, but several simple tips can help minimize the risk. First, in the weeks before treatment, avoid using medications or supplements with blood-thinning effects, including aspirin or any aspirin-containing product, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, ginger or fish oil. Your doctor can and should advise you individually. On the day of treatment, a cold compress can be used before and after injection to constrict blood vessels, which helps to minimize swelling and bruising. A good injector can also prevent bruising by noting bleeds and applying pressure at the time of injection. And because no one can ever guarantee completely avoiding a bruise, it’s always a good idea to schedule injectable treatments at least two to seven days before social or other events. Hands down, the best way to avoid bruising and swelling? An experienced plastic surgeon! Nothing substitutes for a well-versed hand, an accurate eye and a gentle touch.

COSMETIC INJECTABLES HAVE BEEN ON THE RISE FOR QUITE

Haute

DR. DAISY AYIM | BODY | HOUSTON

Injectables are popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedures, and we have general rules to consider before injection. We recommend our clients avoid waxing, tweezing, bleaching or use of hair removal products at least two days prior to treatment. Also avoid taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Motrin or Advil, or supplements such as green tea or vitamin E one week in advance of injection. Stay away from alcohol or wine for 24 hours prior to and after the procedure.

Our practice has the following tips to help prevent bruising and swelling.

Stay away from any procedure that causes any skin trauma before injections, since that easily increases your post-injection bruising and swelling risk. We recommend avoiding vigorous exercise for two days after treatment. Take arnica or bromelain before and after treatment to avoid bruising. Apply an ice pack to the treatment area after the procedure. Last, numbing cream makes you comfortable and helps you avoid bruising.

REANA MYERS, CAREAGA PLASTIC SURGERY | BODY | MIAMI/FORT LAUDERDALE

There are a few things to avoid before getting injectables, such as bloodthinning medication like aspirin, Aleve, Advil, Motrin and ibuprofen.

Other supplements to avoid are vitamin E. You should also avoid alcohol at least 24 hours prior to the procedure in order to avoid bruising. After your injectables, avoiding alcohol and exercise for the next 24 hours will significantly lower your chances of bruising and swelling. Arnica or bromelain helps alleviate and decrease the duration of the bruising.

DR P. DANIEL WARD | FACE | SALT LAKE CITY

One of the most common reasons that people experience post-treatment bruising is because many medications and herbal supplements can affect platelet function. Perhaps the most common medication that affects the ability of our platelets to seal off any bleeding is ibuprofen. Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Advil, Motrin and other anti-inflammatory pain medications, is an example of an NSAID or a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug. Other examples include Naproxen or Naprosyn, Aspirin and Toradol.

The thing that can be helpful to decrease bruising is to simply hold pressure on the area immediately after the injection. Sometimes, with filler treatments, this may not be possible, because we do not want to displace the location of the filler. However, doing so to the extent that you can will be very beneficial. Similarly, ice can be helpful, because it can help decrease the caliber of the surrounding vessels’ inflammatory response, which will help minimize bleeding and bruising.

DR. TATIANA BATISTA, CHICAGO BREAST & BODY AESTHETICS | ANTI-AGING | CHICAGO

Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood-thinning medications, if possible, for a period of one or two weeks before treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s wort, omega 3/fish oil supplements, ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve and other NSAIDs have a blood-thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.

Schedule your facial filler appointment at least two weeks prior to a special event such as a wedding or a vacation. Bruising and swelling may be apparent in that time period. Also, avoid dental procedures, including cleaning, for two weeks pre-treatment.

Discontinue Retin-A two days before and two days after treatment. If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another eruption. Please let us know, as you may be prescribed antiviral medication prior to treatment.

Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you don’t feel well or have a rash, cold sore or blemish in the area.

BEAUTY

DR. JHONNY SALOMON | FACE & NOSE | MIAMI/FORT LAUDERDALE

A great way to refresh your face is with cosmetic treatments such as injectables. By taking preventative measures before and after, you can avoid any unnecessary bruising. You should discontinue the use of any over-the-counter pain relievers at least a week before and after you get dermal fillers. Blood-thinning drugs like ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin), aspirin and Aleve can increase the chances of bleeding and bruising during and after the injection. You should avoid having any beauty treatments on your face, such as facials or massage, for a few days after your treatment, and stay away from intense heat like sunbathing and saunas until any swelling or redness has resolved.

To prepare for your treatment and minimize any bruising and swelling, you can begin applying arnica cream on the areas that are treated. Arnica is a natural product that helps reduce bruising and swelling. Applying ice for the first 24 hours can help as well.

Look for a doctor who is qualified and has the experience to perform the injectables. You want to find someone that has perfected this type of procedure and knows where and how to inject these products in order to provide you with the best possible result.

DR. TERRY E. RESTIVO | FACE | HAWAII

To minimize bruising and swelling I recommend no alcohol, ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E or fish oil 10 days prior to treatment. I also recommend starting oral arnica montana at the same time. After the procedure, topical and oral arnica montana will really speed up the healing process.

DR. VIRAJ J. MEHTA | EYELID SURGERY, OCULOPLASTIC | DMV

The beauty of injectables is that there really are no significant limitations. For the most part, you can continue your typical routine and still get great results in the hands of well-trained physicians and surgeons. But to reduce the risk of bruising or swelling, and to optimize your final outcomes, here are some tips: 1. Avoid blood thinners for a week before the injections. Blood thinners can include over-the-counter medications, like aspirin, Aleve and ibuprofen, or supplements, like vitamin E, ginseng and ginkgo. If you need blood thinners for medical conditions, don’t worry about it! Speak with your physician injector, as it’s usually not an issue.

2. Avoid topical anti-aging products for a couple of days before the injections. This includes products that contain retinoic acid, glycolic acid or salicylic acid, as these products may worsen skin irritation. I usually suggest that patients can resume these products 48 hours after any injectable.

3. Avoid waxing, bleaching and facials for a couple of days before the injections, again to help reduce any risk of significant irritation.

4. Keep yourself well hydrated! This will help improve your skin’s tone, texture and quality in general, but it also can help with the healing process after injections.

5. Consider taking arnica supplements before and after injections. If you are prone to bruising, this homeopathic supplement may help reduce your risk.

6. Let your physician or surgeon know if you have any other medical conditions, but injectables are typically safe and effective for most patients! hauteliving.com/hautebeauty HAUTE LIVING

QWO TREATMENT Haute Beauty expert Dr. Michele S. Green provides insight on this game-changing cellulite treatment.

board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, and has been an international leader in cosmetic dermatology for over 25 years. A graduate of Yale and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, where she was chief resident in dermatology, Dr. Green treats some of the most discerning, demanding women and men in the world, with issues ranging from premature skin aging to hyperpigmentation, rosacea, acne, skin laxity, hair loss and sun damage.

Cellulite, which affects 90 percent of all women, presents itself as a dimpling of the skin, usually on the upper thighs, abdomen and buttocks. It can occur in patients of any background, size or age. The formation of cellulite (accumulation of fat) occurs when the septae, also known as the fibrous bands (the connective tissue that connects the muscles to the skin), cause fat to protrude, resulting in the dimpling of the skin.

The appearance of cellulite can vary depending on the thickness and elasticity of a person’s skin. Ultimately, the amount of cellulite an individual has is based on their body fat percentage and genetics.

The one question that everyone asks Dr. Green is, what is the best treatment for it?

Until recently, there were very few treatments that could remove cellulite, but recent innovations have helped improve the appearance of cellulite permanently. The hottest buttock and thigh cellulite treatment to date is QWO, known as the game-changer of cellulite reduction.

50 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty

HB: What is the procedure?

MG: When you decide that QWO is the procedure for you, you will start with a consultation to discuss your goals. For the best results, the treatment is performed three times, spaced 21 days apart. There is no downtime needed after the treatment, which means you can go back to your regularly scheduled activities right away. You may experience some minimal side effects, like slight swelling or bruising around the injection site.

Unlike many other treatments for cellulite, which tend to last for a year at most, QWO treatment is permanent. You should start to see the lasting effects of cellulite reduction within the first 10 weeks after you begin treatment. Once you complete the three sessions, you can officially say goodbye to cellulite in the buttocks and thighs.

HB: Is QWO treatment the only option to remove cellulite?

MG: While QWO is the first injectable treatment, there are other noninvasive treatments, such as Thermage and Velashape. When you combine your QWO injections with other cutting-edge procedures for body contouring, it will enhance the effects of QWO. Thermage FLX is a noninvasive radiofrequency therapy that can smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall refreshed appearance in just one session. Unlike QWO, Thermage can address skin concerns such as wrinkles and loose skin on the face, around the eyes and on the body.

The Thermage laser utilizes radiofrequency technology to heat the deeper collagen-rich layers of the skin. Collagen is a protein in your body that keeps your skin firm and tight. As we age, the body naturally starts to break down the collagen in the skin, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles.

The applied heat from the treatment stimulates new collagen production, helping to create a smoother, tighter, firmer appearance.

QWO injections can also be combined with Velashape treatment for an overall cosmetic improvement in your thighs. Velashape is a bodycontouring procedure that utilizes two technologies: infrared light (IR) and bipolar radiofrequency energy (RF). This energy is paired with vacuum suction and a deep-tissue massage.

Haute Beauty: How does QWO work to remove cellulite?

Michele S. Green: In July 2020, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first-ever injectable to treat cellulite on women’s buttocks: QWO. QWO, sometimes referred to as collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes, works in several ways to combat cellulite at its source. It can also be used to treat cellulite on the thighs with stunning effectiveness.

The QWO injectable fluid contains AUX-I and AUX-II enzymes, which occur naturally in the body. These are collagenase enzymes, which target the type 1 and type 3 collagen found in the fibrous bands. When QWO is injected into treatment areas, the fibrous bands release the tension of the skin. As a result, the fat cells accumulated near the surface of the skin are redistributed, giving us our goal skin.

BEAUTY

During this treatment, the fat cells and the connective tissue in the targeted area are deeply heated. By heating the underlying dermal collagen fibers and surrounding connective tissue, new collagen and elastin production is induced, resulting in the ideal skin texture.

Additionally, the deep-tissue massage during the procedure helps improve lymphatic drainage, further improving the appearance of the cellulite dimples.

Pairing QWO treatments with VelaShape is one of the top strategies Dr. Green uses to improve the look of cellulite. She recommends five or more treatment sessions of Velashape with three injections of QWO to receive the best cosmetic results. The Velashape procedure does not require any recovery time.

If you’re frustrated with the appearance of your cellulite, there are nonsurgical solutions that can help. Dr. Michele Green is an expert in cosmetic dermatology in New York. For over two decades, she has been practicing the best noninvasive body contouring and cosmetic laser treatments in NYC. Consistently voted as Castle Connoly’s Best Dermatologist and one of New York magazine’s Best Doctors, Dr. Green will provide the best tailor-made cosmetic treatments. Please contact us online at michelegreenme.com or call 212-535-3088 to learn more about whether cellulite treatment options such as Thermage®, Velashape or QWO may be for you. hauteliving.com/hautebeauty HAUTE LIVING

women consider precious: perfume and diamonds. Created in 1921 with Ernest Beaux, N°5 was a completely new, feminine fragrance that embodied the mystery of a modern woman. In 1932, Chanel unveiled her one and only collection in platinum and diamonds, Bijoux de Diamants, catapulting jewelry into a new realm. Now Patrice Leguéreau, director of the Chanel Fine Jewelry Creation Studio, has fused the wonders of both into the first high jewelry collection dedicated to a fragrance: the magnificent Collection N°5.

“Gabrielle Chanel approached these two universes with the same visionary values, focusing on audacity and the quest for excellence,” says Leguéreau. “I wanted to rediscover that creative gesture with this collection, which has been conceived like a journey through the meanderings of the N°5 perfume’s soul, from the architecture of the bottle to the olfactive explosion of the fragrance.”

The 123 extraordinary pieces reflect the five identifying elements of the iconic perfume — the stopper, the bottle, the number, the flowers and the sillage — ultimately creating a sophisticated collection of exquisitely crafted rings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings and watches.

CHATEAU DIOR For the spring 2022 menswear collection, Dior artistic director Kim Jones reexamined the dynamic codes that define the House of Dior, ultimately honoring the legacy of both Monsieur Dior and those who followed. For Jones, it’s all about reflection this season. He reinterprets heritage design motifs like the leopard print — originally shown in the first collection in 1947 — and the impeccable world of Dior tailoring through exploring the relationship between casual sportswear and formalwear to reveal the modern man. Relaxed silhouettes are paired with the new Dior B30 sneakers in a muted color palette of pinks and grays, catapulting the Atelier Christian Dior of 30 Avenue Montaigne into the contemporary culture. Defining the Dior of now without losing sight of the brand’s rich heritage is evident in this collection as it honors “pratique, sportif,” a language of couture translated to menswear by fusing luxury with lifestyle.

FENDI X SKIMS INTRODUCING THE COLLABORATION OF THE YEAR, BROUGHT TO YOU BY TWO CREATIVE KIMS. 94 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

INSPIRED BY KARL LAGERFELD’S SKETCHES FROM AN ARCHIVAL

Fendi collection in 1979, which debuted twisted tube tops, pop colors and tight sashes, the collaborative FENDI x SKIMS collection, created by Kim Jones of Fendi and Kim Kardashian West, fuses the aesthetic codes of Fendi with SKIMS’ focus on fit and form.

“Fendi and SKIMS have a cultural power very different from each other, but equally as strong,” reflects Kardashian West. “We share a desire to push boundaries, think differently and challenge convention, which is why we found so much common ground collaborating on this collection together.”

Jones and Kardashian West are longtime friends, so a successful collaboration was a good bet. And in fact, when the collection dropped on November 9, it reportedly made $1 million in the first minute.

“The idea came about when my team and I were sitting around a table at the studio in Rome,” Jones explains. “Suddenly all the women went silent and started looking at their phones. I didn’t know what was going on, but they were waiting for the launch of the new SKIMS collection. It was then that I thought, Let’s do something together.”

From form-fitting silhouettes in vibrant, modern hues to a hybrid FENDI x SKIMS logo printed across underwear and hosiery, the collection celebrates contemporary, chic solutions for all women. It’s available at fendiskims.com and select Fendi stores and retailers around the world.

A collection that explores the connection between fashion and the great outdoors, the FENDI Men’s winter capsule 2021 embodies the essence of easy living. From exploring the natural world through an earthy palette of yellows with shades of brown and blue to embracing everyday urban living through sportier pieces, the collection fuses natural elements with the maison’s mission to create a sophisticated yet playful wardrobe for the modern man.

The collection introduces new ‘it’ styles like the practical Fendiness backpack in Aquafil’s ECONYL® regenerated nylon with a distinctive FF logo metal buckle, and the FENDI Fragment, an abstract marble print combined with iconic elements like the FF and Karligraphy logo.

Fendi fully embraces a life inspired by adventure through reimagining menswear staples like double-breasted jackets and tailored trousers through a laid-back lens.

For the Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2022 men’s collection, artistic director Virgil Abloh found inspiration in the Amen break. Imagine if 1,000 hits could be translated into a singular drum solo: that is the Amen break, which was originally recorded by the funk and soul group the Winstons in 1969 and is now a major factor in hip-hop. The clothes celebrate multiple cultural intersections— as Abloh’s designs always do—resulting in a collection full of life, with bold monochromatic suiting, checkers in various textures for three-dimensional or trompe l’oeil effects on jackets and new hand-embossed monogram bags in a vibrant palette. This collection deserves an encore, and in fact, it is headed to Miami Art Basel week for a special runway moment.

Objets Nomades HAUTE LIVING EXPLORES THE WONDERS OF LOUIS VUITTON’S OBJETS NOMADES COLLECTION THROUGH THE INSPIRING LENS OF EACH DESIGNER. BY: ADRIENNE FAUROTE PHOTOGRAPHY: MATTHIEU SALVAING FOR LOUIS VUITTON

Since its inception in 2012, Louis Vuitton’s Objets Nomades collection has always embodied the maison’s keen sense of experimentation and dedication to the art of travel by working alongside some of the world’s most renowned artists. The collection pays homage to Louis Vuitton’s tradition of intricately crafted travel-inspired objects — like the iconic Bed Trunk, produced in 1874 for French explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza — through the modern perspective of contemporary creatives.

Almost a decade later, the collection has evolved into a diverse range of Objets Nomades and Petits Nomades, from swing chairs and tables to lamps and sofas, each maintaining meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional attention to detail. Ahead, Haute Living introduces the new collection, featuring the creators’ interpretations of Louis Vuitton’s time-honored design values, which reveal their shared love for the beauty of exploring the art of space through fine materials and new abstract forms in perfect proportions. Through the Objets Nomades collection, Louis Vuitton — in collaboration with these remarkable designers — further explores the intersection between design, art, fashion and living by creating pieces that transform any space.

Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades Cosmic Table by Raw Edges

“LOUIS VUITTON’S FOUNDATION IS BASED UPON CREATIVE IDEAS AND REVOLUTIONARY SOLUTIONS.” — Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay

Design duo Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay of Raw Edges have had their work featured in several museum collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago. When working on Objets Nomades for Louis Vuitton, the pair was keen on the challenge of working on a collection of collapsible objects incorporating Vuitton’s unique design elements.

Both deceptively simple and remarkably ingenious, the carbon-fiber base of Raw Edges’ Cosmic Table has an organic shape created initially using just three pieces of paper. When covered with Louis Vuitton leather, the base resembles an endless sequence whose rich color elegantly contrasts with the lighter edging and matches Raw Edges’ Doll chairs. “We were continuing our study into creating complex shapes only by simple flat surfaces; in this case, we were intrigued by the idea of no distinction between the inside and the outside of a shape,” the designers explain. The tabletop is a disc of heavy glass resembling a sliver of ice cut from a frozen lake — its delicately rippling texture gracefully casts shifting reflections and shadows.

Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades Lanterns by Zanellato / Bortotto

“DESIGNING A PIECE FOR OBJETS NOMADES MEANT WE COULD COMBINE OUR CREATIVITY WITH THE BRAND’S SAVOIR-FAIRE AND VALUES.” — Giorgia Zanellato and Daniele Bortotto

Giorgia Zanellato and Daniele Bortotto founded Zanellato/Bortotto Studio in Treviso, Italy, in 2013, embarking on a long-term exploration of the relationship between places and the passage of time. They were immediately fascinated by the idea of working for a brand with such a reputable historical and cultural heritage as Louis Vuitton.

Inspired by the weaving, patterns and typical motifs used by nomadic populations who use fabric and leather to build baskets, rugs and other everyday objects, each lantern’s blown-glass light dome diffuses a geometric pattern. The honeycomb-patterned cage of interwoven strips of Louis Vuitton leather houses a rechargeable LED light and frosted glass bulb that cast delicate shadow patterns. Designed for versatile use both inside and outside, the lanterns feature details inspired by Louis Vuitton handbags, including the carrying strap and the three brass feet that protect the base’s leather covering from scratches. “We imagined this project as a collection of memories woven into a lantern, an intimate and personal object to keep with you to gently illuminate precious moments,” the designers say.

Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades Aguacate by the Campana Brothers

“ABOVE ALL, TRAVEL OFFERS THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO EMBARK ON A NEW EXPLORATION.”

— Fernando and Humberto Campana

Brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana have been creating modern classics since 1983, focusing on looking beyond the obvious to capture the beauty in the everyday. For this collaboration, they were excited about the opportunity to create a message about unique ways of working with Louis Vuitton materials.

Aguacate — Spanish for avocado — is a constellation of brightly colored suns radiating rays of handwoven Louis Vuitton leather straps.

“Collectors can exhibit their Aguacate to suit their space in an infinite number of ways,” says Humberto. “The piece opens up so many possibilities. It’s exciting to imagine what new arrangements people will discover.” Available in a limited edition of 30, each artwork consists of nine different-size avocado-shaped pieces in eight vibrant colors, held together by 16 polished-brass clasps.

“For this edition, we wanted to bring down the scale of our pieces to allow more versatility and movement, staying true to the spirit of travel,” says Humberto. Reminiscent of the piped swirls of meringues, the Merengue ottoman, the brothers’ tropical-flowerlike chair, is composed of elegant petals of supple Louis Vuitton leather and a soft wool lining. Together they create the illusion of spiraling motion, punctuated by the brass stud at the center with its Louis Vuitton signature. “We wanted people to have fun and imagine themselves as characters from Alice in Wonderland, surrounded by surreal sweetness,” adds Fernando.

ART BASEL MIAMI LOUIS VUITTON

As a maison that continually explores its relationship with art and fashion, Louis Vuitton will host several Art Basel Miami events this year.

On December 1, it will open its Miami men’s store doors (along with an exclusive and highly anticipated menswear runway show prior to the opening). Merging the vibrant spirit of Miami with Louis Vuitton’s heritage of craftsmanship and innovation, the new destination will illuminate its geometric façade, inspired by a classic Louis Objets Nomades piece, the Diamond Screen by Marcel Wanders Studio.

In addition, the brand will transform its Design District women’s store into an immersive Objets Nomades showcase, including the new pieces for 2021. The façade will be temporarily wrapped in a jubilant burst of woven colors, patterned after a new Objet Nomades by the Campana Brothers, and the inside will be curated by Spanish architect and designer Patricia Urquiola to include some of her signature pieces, like the Hanging Chair.

DIOR

Dior will debut its Medallion Chair Exhibition in the U.S. during Design Miami and Art Basel at SuperBlue, a new arts center dedicated to supporting artists in realizing their vision and engaging audiences with experiential art. The iconic Medallion Chair has become a pillar of the House of Dior, and — similar to Dior’s Lady Art Project — has been reinterpreted by select international artists.

FROM LOUIS VUITTON TO CHANEL, LUXURY FASHION HOUSES ARE MAKING AN APPEARANCE IN MIAMI THIS YEAR IN A MAJOR WAY.

In the spirit of Art Basel, Loewe will reopen its Design District store with a brand-new concept, inspired by the works of artist Sol LeWitt. The new concept will unveil a vibrant mural designed by LeWitt, commissioned by Paula Cooper Gallery. In contrast to the colorful interior, the façade will be covered in glossy black ceramics handmade in Spain.

GIVENCHY

Throughout the week, Givenchy will showcase exclusive works of art throughout the boutique. From Givenchy’s Matthew M. Williams’ collaboration with artist Ewan MacFarlane on a series of custom mannequins to the appearance of the Chito collaboration, which debuted as part of the Givenchy resort 2022 collection, the Givenchy Miami boutique will truly become a work of art.

FENDI

Fendi has invited Mabeo, the furniture and accessories brand from Botswana, to create products that embody its ongoing research into craft specializations. The collection, titled Kompa, will showcase unique items at Design Miami, like the efo Stool, inspired by the Fendi double F motif, and Mabeo’s interpretation of Fendi’s iconic Peekabo handbag.

TAG HEUER

TAG Heuer will celebrate its ambassador Jimmy Butler, a Miami Heat basketball superstar, at a private waterfront home alongside TAG Heuer Global CEO Frederic Arnault, revealing a customized timepiece designed with the luxury Swiss watchmaker: the Carrera Heuer 02 Tourbillon Jimmy Butler Special Edition, limited to only five pieces. Mayor Francis Suarez will commemorate November 30 as Jimmy Butler Day, offering the NBA player the keys to the 305 with TAG Heuer as the official timekeeper of Magic City.

As of December 2, Chanel will be able to call Miami’s Design District home. Spanning two floors, the 7,600-square-foot boutique will artfully showcase the house’s readyto-wear collections—starting with the arrival of the cruise 2021/22 collection, designed by artistic director Virginie Viard—handbags, shoes, eyewear, precious fine jewelry, and iconic watches like the J12 Caliber 12.1. From the inside out, the boutique teems with the design house codes of Chanel, creating a modern yet timeless prescence in the heart of Miami’s most luxurious shopping destination.

The Design District location will be the latest boutique concept designed

by New York-based architect and longtime Chanel collaborator Peter Marino, whose work embodies the house’s vision of fusing creativity, high fashion, craftsmanship and exclusive materials to manifest a true masterpiece. For Marino, the architectural and interior design hold the same significance in building out the boutique as a celebration of Chanel for an American art capital.

Artworks specifically curated for the Miami space can be found throughout the boutique, a nod to Gabrielle Chanel’s influential legacy as a patron of the arts. From a special commission by Chris Succo in the elevator to works by Gregor Hildebrandt (Der Flur Blick von der Tur, Blick in die Ki.iche Ki.iche and Blick ins Esszimmer vom Balkon-Zimmer aus), it’s only fitting that the boutique is opening its doors during one of the buzziest art weeks of the year. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 143

HAUTE LIVING’S GUIDE TO NOTEWORTHY ART HAPPENINGS.

The return of Art Basel and Miami Art Week has the Magic City buzzing. From new exhibitions and artists on the rise to the Miami art-scene staples like Art Miami coming back for its 31st season, this year is expected to be the most impactful yet. In fact, according to Nick Korniloff, executive vice president and director of Art Miami, the cancellation of the show in 2020 fostered a new appreciation and excitement around the galleries this season. “When you don’t have shows, you realize how valuable they are, and it’s really about the [living] artists getting the exposure,” he explains. “For me, it’s always been about bringing our dealers and community together, and I can’t think of a more important year to do that.”

The Miami Design District will unveil Tomorrow Land, a physical and virtual site-specific installation of playfully designed sculptures, seating and ornamentation created by Studio Proba and Enjoy the Weather for the Annual Design Commission 2021. A dedicated app built around AR technology and proximity beacons will allow visitors to “collect” and digitally customize Studio Proba’s shapes and place their own custom totems throughout the Design District and beyond.

The rapidly growing world of generative and NFT art will be in the spotlight, including a unique interactive NFT exhibition from Tezos, an energy-efficient blockchain and official partner of Art Basel Miami. Titled Humans + Machines: NFTs and the Ever-Evolving World of Art, the experience will explore the new frontier of art, technology and culture and invite audiences to create and mint their own NFTs on site.

Shattered Glass, the acclaimed exhibition of new art by emerging artists of color that was shown at Jeffrey Deitch Los Angeles last spring, will be presented in an expanded version—with 15 new artists—in the Design District’s Moore Building.

Mitchell-Innes & Nash will return to the Design District with a winter exhibition space opening on Wednesday, November 24. The first exhibition will be a group show featuring early works by Eddie Martinez alongside work by seven outsider, self-taught and American art brut artists that Martinez collects or sources as inspiration.

At the intersection of the culinary and visual arts, the Ritz-Carlton South Beach will host Michelin-starred chef José Andrés and risingstar artist Serge Attukwei Clottey to showcase their impactful efforts in sustainability and globalization through the initiative Art for Good. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 145

Will Makris: Where I’m from, in Long Island, I had tried every job — from driving the Tropicana truck and working for Cablevision to mortgages and stocks. You name it, I tried it. So, about 15 years ago, I started working part-time in New York City.

At night, I started promoting at clubs for fun, and that’s when it began. The first club I ever worked at was called Stereo, located on 29th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues. Also, my best friends at the time were working for Tao Group at their establishments like Marquee, so I would jump between those spots.

HL: Did you have an aha moment when you knew that the nightlife and hospitality industry was for you?

WM: When I was about 20, my best friend and I went into the city one night to meet up with some friends. We ended up getting into this place that we had no business getting into; I tried dancing with Britney Spears, my buddy was hanging out with Jack Osbourne and [celebrities] like Pharrell [Williams] were there. We truly had no business being there. As we were taking the train back to Long Island that night, I looked at my friend and said, “I have to get my feet in this business. I have to try and be a part of this. I don’t see anything else I would be so interested in doing.” So that pushed me into really wanting to be in the hospitality and entertainment business.

HL: What spot catapulted your career?

WM: The place that put me on the map was Provocateur. The owners, Michael Satsky and Brian Gefter, gave me a real shot.

I started as an assistant manager, where they soon realized the caliber of people I had built relationships with. They were like, “Take the headset out and the suit off; you’re now hosting the owner’s table. You now sit the room.” They gave me free rein to run the room, and it really opened the door for me.

HL: You have been an integral part of opening some of New York’s hottest spots. You are a co-owner of Lola Taverna and Little Prince with Cobi Levi, and more recently you opened

Zero Bond with Scott Sartiano. The hospitality industry took a hit in New York during the pandemic and is finally returning better than ever. How did you make it work?

WM: Lola Taverna was actually born out of the pandemic. We opened pre-Covid, and [as things got worse] and when I thought we should close our doors and give up, my partner Cobi Levi came up with this idea to do takeout with portable chairs, using the park across the street. There were days where we would sit 250 people in the park, so it made Lola Taverna one of the places you could go to in the city [safely], and we were able to give all the proceeds to first responders. It was amazing.

Coming out of the pandemic, I definitely think there is a new appreciation for life. There’s an upturn in spending as people want to leave their houses, be entertained and explore new places with friends.

HL: Speaking of new places, congratulations on the opening of Zero Bond. As New York’s latest private members club, to what attributes does it owe its immense success?

WM: My partner Scott Sartiano and I have a large network of people. Besides the fact that they intertwine very well, our networks are very large because we have been doing this for a long time. The most important aspect of building something is who you bring into your fold. Anything we open starts with the same people, the same core base, and then we expand from there.

Diversity is also a huge thing — especially with everything going on in the world today, with people trying to exclude certain groups. Our networks are so diverse; we cover the full spectrum of everyone, which really helped us gain momentum in what we’re doing and what we are trying to do.

I also happen to have a good streak of opening the best venues in New York for nightlife for the last 12 years. Zero Bond’s crowd is a bit older, more mature and advanced in some ways. There is truly nothing in the country like Zero Bond right now.

HL: It’s almost as if you’re growing up with your different establishments. How will you continue to evolve?

WM: Absolutely. You can get stuck in the rut of nightlife; it’s fun, the energy is contagious and there’s great money to be made there, but you can also get stuck. I never wanted to be stuck in one place; I always wanted to evolve and do things like open restaurants, members clubs and eventually hotels. I wanted to build a platform where I can have the opportunity to invest in new industries that I would not have had the opportunity had I not been in hospitality.

I certainly see opening more venues for sure and striving to get better in hospitality. I want to continue to use hospitality as the base structure and then grow businesses from there. I think building and growing as you get older and as you continue to expand is really important.

HL: Will you expand Zero Bond into other cities?

WM: Absolutely. Miami is an extremely important city because of the crossover between New York and Miami throughout the winter. We also definitely want to open in Los Angeles and the Hamptons, and eventually internationally. We first need to prove success in different areas of the United States.

HL: Looking back, what is one piece of advice you wish you could give your younger self?

WM: I would say be yourself. I got caught up to where my friends had to bring me back. The industry can suck you in, and I was losing myself for a bit. The other thing is to take your time; there is no rush to this. If you really put your heart into something and you work hard, [combined with] taking your time and not rushing, that’s when things work better.

Today, I am fighting myself to live in the moment. Every time I complete a project, all I want to do is the next thing, the next deal. I tell myself to live in the moment and realize that 10 or even five years ago, look at where you were and look at where you have come. Living in the moment and making what you’re doing now the best is super important.

Greatest Gift +The of Plastic Surgery

BY BROOKE KLAIMAN

AS THE CLOCK STRIKES 12 AND WE RING IN THE NEW YEAR, IT IS WITH GENUINE EXCITEMENT THAT

plastic surgeons can toast another year filled with delivering confidence and precision to their patients. While many rush to the new, some ponder the past, reflecting, celebrating and manifesting the days behind us and the ones to come. Dr. Jhonny Salomon, a board-certified plastic surgeon, has spent 23 years in private practice, implementing specific processes to minimize his patients’ risk and maximize their recovery while offering the best possible care. Haute Beauty sat down for an exclusive interview with Dr. Salomon to discuss a year of hardships, successes and the gift of plastic surgery.

Haute

Haute Beauty: As a plastic surgeon, what is the greatest gift you provide to your patients?

Jhonny Salomon: Self-confidence. Plastic surgeons have the incredible opportunity to realize what patients envision for themselves, which is an essential aspect of someone’s place in the world. Whether their vision is to look younger [facelift], have a smaller nose to match their face [rhinoplasty] or even reconstruct a part of their body that was affected by trauma or cancer, we can help someone achieve this and feel their best.

HB: What was your most requested procedure in 2021?

JS: In the past two years the demographics of plastic surgery have completely shifted. Five or seven years ago, the top procedures were breast augmentation and liposuction. This year the most requested invasive procedures changed to eyelid, facelift and rhinoplasty surgeries. Of course, noninvasive procedures like Botox and fillers are always in demand and continue to grow year after year.

HB: As technology innovates, are there any new procedures or innovations you’re looking forward to in the new year?

JS: Every year there are new noninvasive procedures introduced to the market. This past year we acquired Thermage FLX for skin tightening and the new EMSculpt NEO for muscle tightening. We are also currently vetting new fillers.

HB: How has being a plastic surgeon changed your perspective about the way people view themselves?

JS: As a human, I am always a seeker of deeper truths, and as a plastic surgeon, I am always evaluating the power of the visual to the psyche. It is this interplay of beauty, visual and psyche that makes plastic surgery so interesting.

For example, I see a lot of men in the workforce who are a bit older and getting facelifts simply to feel younger and compete with the younger age group in their industry. This is one of the many instances that represent the power of the visual and the importance it has in society today. Visual is power as exemplified in the growth of Instagram, and the continued influence of beauty magazines and television ads. We as plastic surgeons have the opportunity to influence that visual at a very intimate, personal level.

HB: What are you the most grateful for in your industry?

JS: The opportunity to be involved in the health of my patients, both in their aesthetic and reconstructive needs. I am also extremely thankful for the camaraderie with my colleagues, the unity within the field and the continuous evolution of the industry. Additionally, plastic surgery is much like an apprenticeship; it provides a unique opportunity for teaching the young surgeon.

HB: What was your greatest accomplishment this year?

JS: My greatest accomplishment has been to perform with efficiency in the era of Covid-19. To perform safely, with detail and with a great degree of precision has brought me huge success as a plastic surgeon. In fact, this year we have seen volume numbers, unlike any year before, due to the heightened demand for cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.

HB: Would you say the demand is so high because people have had more time to focus on those visuals and analyze themselves?

JS: The saying in the industry is that the demand is higher because people have more time to recover at home. But many people are now back at work, and the demand is still stronger than ever. I think Zoom is one of the reasons: people are looking at themselves on camera more and wanting to make changes to their appearance as they evaluate themselves.

Deeper than those reasons — and this is my personal opinion — with Covid, people have realized life is short. If they want to change something, time is of the essence. As a society and a world, there has been a shift in the way we view life, the ending of life, and the unpredictability, and what needs to be changed, we want to do it right away.

HB: What is a key piece of advice or motivation you provide your patients?

JS: I try to guide my patients to the best of my ability. Each comes from a different walk of life and has different needs. But regardless of their present situation, “carpe diem” is always a true statement. Focus on what you can accomplish in the present moment and make the most of it.

I’ve been in private practice for 23 years. I am very thankful to feel good and eager to continue to practice. I come to work every day with a lot of energy and tons of positivity to give everyone — my employees, my patients and everyone I come into contact with. If you can continue to come to work after 20 years, every day, in a happy space while continuing to grow and learn both professionally and personally, you are in a good place in life.

+ATAXWELL-DESIGNED STRUCTURE FOR

OWNING Fine Art Is Itself a Masterpiece.

BY SUZANNE DEWITT

International tax attorney Suzanne Dewitt knows A thing or two about creating tax-effective strategies for her wealthy clients. She is considered a financial artist who takes a canvas and paints a picture, which is the design principle of tax minimization. It is a delicate balance that she has mastered — the art of utilizing high-end artwork as a tax savings strategy to yield profitable results. For more information, visit dewittpllc.com.

and identity, and at the same time has become a key aspect of financial and succession planning. Art may be enjoyed from a variety of different perspectives — as a store of wealth, a masterpiece to cherish, a family heirloom, part of a trust or estate, even a gift to a cultural institution. Whatever owning an artwork may mean to a private individual, business or public entity, tax concerns are always relevant.

The popularity of art as an asset class has increased steadily over the years, and nothing is stopping that steady growth trend. Art represents an asset that is becoming increasingly part of the owner’s identity, where collectors come in a variety of forms: private and corporate collectors, cultural and art institutions, foundations, banks, asset management companies and family offices.

Unlike capital gains on stock or real estate, the capital gains on artwork is 28 percent (plus 3.8 percent for the investment tax). Although art represents an investment opportunity that offers returns and diversification, the cost of selling it may be daunting. Not only could there be a seller’s commission on the art, perhaps as high as 25 percent, but there is also the federal effective capital gains rate of 31.8 percent, plus a potential hit of state capital gains tax as well. This means that a seller could come away with less than half of the hammer price when the art sells at auction.

Previously, it was possible to defer some of these capital gains by exchanging the gains for other art items, but under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, exchanges of any property other than real estate no longer qualify as tax-free under Code Sec. 1031. So tax-free exchanges of appreciated artwork and collectibles can no longer receive this treatment. The good news is that there are still a few alternatives used by tax planners to allow art owners to defer the payment of capital gains tax.

For example, using a special type of charitable trust allows you to defer paying capital gains tax on appreciated assets and potentially generate an income over time. Another option, an art exchange, is a nonprofit entity that that may be used to insulate the underlying nonprofit of a specific type of charitable trust from incurring unrelated business income. The art exchange may also be used as a vehicle for generating lease income or making exchanges without incurring income tax.

Which strategy works best for a client depends on what he or she wants to do. Some may choose to take gains and pay the tax now for fear that the threat of a capital gains tax rate hike may rear its ugly head once again. Some may wish to donate to a museum, in which case a charitable trust may also work. In any event, you have options and alternatives to paying the tax when realizing capital gains on highly appreciated artwork.

Meet Chloe Pearl: The Self-Love Influencer Launching a Lingerie Brand Promoting Femininity

BY BROOKE KLAIMAN

YOU MIGHT ADMIRE CHLOE PEARL FOR HER VINTAGE FITS, SELF-LOVE MANTRA AND EXUBERANT

personality that lights up your screen as you scroll through TikTok and Instagram. Her following of more than 55,000 and counting has made her a sensation among young women as she continues to promote her motto to “be the love of your life” through her clothing brand, Chloe Pearl. Before she started her business, Pearl created her customer base by selling vintage finds. She will soon lead the Chloe Pearl brand into lingerie, set to launch in February 2022.

Here, she talks about her fashion inspirations, the launch of Chloe Pearl Lingerie and why she strives to provide her followers with a platform that promotes expressing their true selves.

HL: Give your audience a sneak peek into the life of an industry influencer. What does a typical week look like for you?

CP: My mornings are filled with content and creating. I’ll post my stories, get dressed with a fit and, of course, take a few photos. If I’m not leaving the house that day, I’ll jump right into meetings with brands and my Chloe Pearl team. Most weeks I have two events that I attend, so those days I shoot my content there.

HL: What drew you to start your clothing brand?

CP: As I mentioned, my family has always been in the fashion industry. Clothing is my number one way of expressing myself. One day I can dress in all black and be super edgy, and the next day I can be in all pink and be a whole different person and image. I wanted to create a clothing line that promotes self-love, where people feel they can express themselves in their chosen ways. That’s what fashion stands for.

I wanted to create a line that is different than anything I’ve ever seen before. I’m very inspired by ’90s pieces, as my grandma’s closet was filled with all things John Galliano, Dolce & Gabbana, all top brands from the ’90s — that’s a rarity these days.

HL: Who’s your biggest self-love icon?

CP: Bella Hadid. She feels full of self-love, always. The Internet is a tricky thing; there are so many people on it.

It comes down to how you choose to use your platform. Hadid feels so full of good vibes, always giving off a positive aura, the energy we don’t often see on social media.

Haute

Haute Living: What was your first taste of fashion?

Chloe Pearl: Fashion has surrounded me since I stepped into this world. My grandmother and greatgrandmother founded Caché Clothing, and my father started the Animal Farm and Pervert clothing line, a streetwear brand in the early ’90s. I’ve always seen my great-grandmother, Marilyn Rubinson, wearing these amazing outfits with a crazy sense of style. What struck me was how we’d go out and she’d be this whole other person from her usual day-to-day at-home person. From there, I grasped the idea of how fashion transforms you. You can be someone one day, and the next day completely different. Growing up, that surrounded me, and that’s where my interest in fashion was sparked.

HL: What are you looking forward to?

CP: I’m turning to my true passion, which lies in lingerie. At first I was hesitant as a 17-yearold in the lingerie space, but as someone who has already done things a teen would usually not participate in, I’ve done it. I took the risk and dived right into the lingerie world with the hopes of being a voice for girls my age.

HL: As you mentioned, your style is filled with vintage finds. What’s your secret?

CP: That is a question I often receive, especially since I am always wearing pieces from the ’90s.

Props to my grandma, once again, for being the gateway to the most incredible, unique vintage pieces. Primarily black, her favorite color, and very iconic.

If I’m not repping something from her closet, I usually wear ’90s-inspired brands, support small businesses like mine and shop at stores in Miami like House of Findings and Fly Boutique. I am moving to New York, so I am super excited to explore.

HL: I’m excited to see all the vintage pieces you find! You have a huge presence on TikTok and Instagram. What do you hope your followers will take away from your content?

CP: This is something I feel so strongly about. From age 7 I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in fashion. I never had an interest in the activities people my age were participating in. This was difficult, because the environment I was growing up in wasn’t very accepting of people who wanted to dress or act differently. There was a lot of pressure to conform. That’s why it’s so important to me that I provide support for people who are in similar situations, to be themselves no matter what.

The most vital thing for me is that I always want to provide people with a platform that expresses your authentic self. No matter who you want to be, how you want to dress, there’s only one life to live, and that’s yours, so live it freely and authentically.

Through Chloe Pearl Lingerie, I want to provide people with designs that promote femininity, self-love all those things that make you comfortable in your body.

HL: The harshness of social media is not easy to overcome. It’s obvious you have kept your head high and pushed through it. It’s very inspiring. Is there anything else you’d like to highlight about the brand?

CP: I want to talk about the organization we’re going to be working with. My name is Chloe Pearl — my middle name was passed down from my great-great grandmother. The pearl symbolizes self-love; all pearls are unique, which is a huge symbol for the brand, as it is started with the foundation of loving yourself. “Be the love of your life” is our motto because if you want love to gravitate toward you, you have to be the love of your life. There is an organization called Pearl Girlz, and I just love the name, obviously, since it aligns with our brand and our message.

Pearl Girlz creates a safe space for girls who are being bullied and teaches them how to deal with the negativity, rise above it and love themselves. We are so excited to be donating some of our proceeds to the organization. I will also participate in a speaking seminar to share my experience with negativity and how I spend every day rising above it.

HL: Sounds amazing! More about the collection...

CP: I noticed a gap in the market. I couldn’t find a brand that represents inclusivity, diversity, sustainability and femininity — all aspects important to me. I wanted to create the brand I’d want to support. So that’s what I am working toward with Chloe Pearl Lingerie: very inclusive, full of love, ’90s styles. We are set to launch in February as a gift to yourself for Valentine’s Day. Women believe that you wear lingerie for others when you should wear it first for yourself.

This message translates down to the designs, prints and comfortability of my line. Whether you want to go to a special occasion or wear it around, this line will have the item for you. Designed by a team full of women, ethically made.

HP: Is there anything else you’d like to share with your followers moving forward?

CP: I would say not to let anyone stop you from who you want to be. You can do it. And always rise above negativity!

ACCLAIMED HUNGARIAN SCULPTOR AGNÈS NAGY WILL MAKE HER MIAMI DEBUT THIS FALL DURING

Miami Art Week with her exhibition Soulmates at Platform, a concept gallery in Miami Beach, in collaboration with JB Contemporary Art. The exhibit launch and reception will take place on Thursday, December 2, from 7 to 10 p.m.

Nagy creates impressive, realistic animal sculptures that give voice to the soul of her wild subjects. Her sculptures provide an evocative, powerful representation of wildlife, ranging from fierce hunters like lions and jaguars, to domesticated animals such as bulls and horses, to sea creatures and insects including the spiny lobster and stag beetle. Her work embodies the soulmate-like bonds between humans and animals. While their exteriors are hard, each piece expresses a joyful display of movement and exudes strength, play and freedom. Each carries a symbolic message and viscerally interprets the human-animal connection.

“Miami is an exciting place to share my love of animals and nature with like-minded art enthusiasts and collectors,” Nagy says. “I am thrilled to be back in South Florida after a successful exhibition at Art Palm Beach in early 2020.”

Platform by Sogol Décor is a salon-style art and design lub located in the SoFi neighborhood of Miami Beach. It is a unique gallery giving creatives, industry professionals and art connoisseurs a place to connect and collaborate. The sculptures in the Soulmates exhibition range from $4,500 for smaller pieces and up to $35,000 for large sculptures.

The exhibition is working closely with the South Florida SPCA as its charitable partner, which includes an interactive and educational experience for children and families on Sunday, December 5, from 12 to 3 p.m., with an animal adoption opportunity. “I didn’t choose animals — they were the ones who found me and refuse to let me go,” Nagy says. “I am grateful that I am able to share my work in Miami though a collaboration that supports the South Florida SPCA, a cause that is dear to my heart.”

Nagy will be present for the exhibition opening on December 2 and for private viewings through December 5. The exhibition will run through February 28, 2022, and can be viewed by request. Please call 301-254-5907 to make an appointment, or email platform@sogoldecor.com.

JB Contemporary is an art gallery in North Miami Beach that represents Agnès Nagy and has partnered with Platform for this exciting exhibition during Art Basel Miami 2021. Founder Josephine Bodogh is a Hungarian art connoisseur on a mission to introduce European artists who highlight social issues and push traditional boundaries in the U.S. art community. This exhibition also includes participation with the Hungarian Consulate.

Haute Living: What makes you unique as a couple and as entrepreneurs?

Ignas and Gerda Jurkonis: Our family lives an active lifestyle. We learn to stay together as individuals and as a team. Matching and supporting individualities is a very mindful and important aspect that makes us high-performing in all our roles: managing companies and working with nonprofits, being partners and parents. We live in multiple locations and balance our time. Time is a very high value for us, so we need to make sure it is always well spent and rich for memories.

HL: What are your thoughts on the phrase power couple? Does it apply to you?

IJ and GJ: We love this phrase, and it relates to us completely. It’s not about the impression, it’s about self-feeling and encouragement. For us it’s about everyday and life management. This phrase assimilates high energy, values, performance and lifestyle.

HL: How do you incorporate thought leadership practices into your daily life, at your companies and at home?

IJ and GJ: Expertise, insight and a valuable perspective are the main elements that get us to thought leadership status. It takes dedication, patience, strategy, education and, most importantly, an ability to listen. In business,we are usually considered as having an innovative, different, unusual approach. However, family is different. It’s about teaching kids and each other the natural differences of thinking, and the value of that. Respect and discussions that are based on personal research play an important role, along with constant physical, spiritual and educational development. Such development brings different perspectives on family and life values.

HL: As a couple navigating your company across many cities and countries, what are key elements to keeping it all running smoothly?

IJ and GJ: It really comes down to how we spend our time in the present moment. Power couple or power family for us is about passion, high energy, high performance and being mindfully present.

This requires a fast transition of mind between business, social or family environments. Living a fast life has a high risk of missing things, of moments passing by without notice. We work hard to live lives that are full of memories and quality relationships. This requires the ability to recognize and avoid things that are not a priority or don’t bring value to us as individuals and as family. It can be challenging sometimes.

HL: What do you see as the next phase of entrepreneurship?

IJ and GJ: Entrepreneurship is a big part of our purpose, not only in business but also in family and life. Constant searches for innovation in time management, purpose expression and family relationships are part of our journey. The ability to have an impact and affect the lives of those who trust our leadership is a mission we are committed to. In fact, Ignas and his team are launching a business platform in Latin America that will focus on changing employee lives by creating unlimited growth and success opportunities for them. In this startup, individual employee dreams will become the primary interest of the business. All leadership will be seen through a psychological and human behavior lens. We call it “the engine for opportunity.”

HL: What to you is the greatest luxury in life, and why?

IJ and GJ: Enjoying life to the fullest, in the moment, is the greatest luxury. For us, luxury is to be healthy, mobile and free, having enough time to enjoy your best life now. Luxury is a state of mind, and your life is whatever you do to make the best of it.

+FIRST-CLASS CONNECTIONS Luxury realtor Paola Marulanda talks real estate and her secrets to success.

BY MARY GIBSON

HAUTE RESIDENCE MEMBER PAOLA MARULANDA IS A SOUTH FLORIDA REAL ESTATE

Haute Living: How has the market changed since Covid?

Paola Marulanda: In early 2018, new laws came into effect that eliminated the individual state income tax in Florida, making Miami an increasingly attractive home base for America’s wealthiest. Shortly after this migration of affluence ensued, Covid-19 forced every individual and every business to reevaluate their priorities for the long haul. Suddenly, the appreciation for home space — especially horizontal space, versus vertical space in homes and condos — surged at an incredible rate. Although at first condos were at a standstill while the single-family home market experienced a frenzy, the seemingly endless oversupply of condo inventory was absorbed by those drawn to the climate, taxes and lifestyle South Florida has to offer. Furthermore, affordability compared to other major metropolitan areas and record-low interest rates opened the floodgates. Now, with headquarters and satellite offices opening all over, it makes sense for people of every level of wealth, education and business to move here.

HL: What are the current trends in your market?

PM: The current trend in Miami is the quintessential example of a supply and demand imbalance. The combination of record-high demand and a finite supply of inventory created the perfect storm for a surge in prices, making it a very strong seller’s market. Miami-Dade County’s total home sales increased 142 percent year-over-year, while existing condo sales increased 240 percent. Median prices on singlefamily homes rose 32 percent, from $380,000 to $500,000, and median prices for condos rose 26 percent year-over-year, from $262,250 to $330,000. Monthly supply of inventory for single-family homes has decreased 54 percent. In September 2021 alone, the total dollar volume for single-family homes in Miami was approximately $1.2 billion, compared with $975 million in September 2020. Active inventory in the same period has fallen to 2,957 homes in September 2021 from 4,039 in September 2020. Adding to the velocity of sales transactions is the expectation of a rising interest rate environment on the heels of a 6.2 percent CPI print, a measure of inflation. Heading into 2021, the Federal Reserve forecasted a CPI figure of 1.8 percent. Why does this matter? Now that inflation is not seemingly transitory, the market is anticipating higher rates. This translates to a potential 16 percent higher cost of borrowing over the life of the mortgage next year as compared to this year.

HL: How do you continue to offer optimal service in the current climate?

PM: It is crucial for buyers to work with a local expert who can match their desires with the reality of the market. This requires tapping into local contacts to obtain off-market properties and educating buyers about the myriad geographical boundaries that now extend into new and upcoming neighborhoods outside of the more popularly known ones, such as Miami Beach and Coral Gables. Now we can talk about areas like Surfside, Pinecrest and South Miami, which were overlooked and undervalued before.

On the seller’s side, the recipe for success was once network, reach and marketing. Today’s market conditions call for a more extensive set of criteria in order to keep sellers safe from fraudulent buyers and scams. Taking deals from start to close and optimizing deal terms is of the utmost importance. Backed by the most renowned and leading agency in the luxury real estate world, Sotheby’s International Realty, I can ensure that the most extensive and appropriate set of tools is employed to gain maximum exposure, while my own company, Luxury Homes Connect, offers an additional layer of legal support and negotiation expertise.

HL: What are some past successes, and how do you plan to continue to be successful?

PM: My latest successes involve record-breaking eight-figure sales in multiple neighborhoods, such as South of Fifth, Key Biscayne, Coral Gables and Brickell. I am truly passionate about matching buyers with their dream home and sellers with their dream offer. I am currently closing on my own dream home, which serves as a testament to the strength and positive trajectory of the Miami real estate market!

and TopDevz, provided a Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show experience that will go down in history. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is recognized as the largest in-water boat show in the world. Held steps from the beach, it spans nearly 90 acres across 3 million square feet of exhibit space connected by an intricate network of water and ground transportation. While the renowned marine event is held annually, the pandemic prohibited last year’s iteration, leaving brokers, buyers and boat admirers to highly anticipate FLIBS 2021. For those lucky enough to attend the five-day waterfront event, FLIBS 2021 was well worth the wait. Haute Media Group joined forces with Fraser Yachts, the world’s leading full-service yachting company specializing in yacht sales, charter, yacht management, new construction and crew placement, and pioneering software development company TopDevz to make Fort Lauderdale history.

CELEBRATES CULINARY LEGEND DANIEL BOULUD WITH AN INTIMATE DINING EXPERIENCE AT LE PAVILLON WITH HUBLOT THE ENERGY IN MANHATTAN RIGHT NOW IS INFECTIOUS. THE STREETS

are alive, and restaurants are once again teeming with guests ready to indulge—especially at Daniel Boulud’s Le Pavillon, nestled in the heart of Midtown. To celebrate the immense success of Haute Living’s latest cover star, renowned Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud, Hublot hosted an intimate dinner honoring the culinary genius and inviting attendees into the wonderful world of Boulud.

Guests were greeted with a glass of Ruinart champagne as they wandered through an exclusive display of watches by Hublot, one of Boulud’s favorites.

In fact, the chef exclusively wore Hublot for Haute Living’s cover shoot at the newly renovated Daniel restaurant on Park Avenue. Haute Media Group CEO Kamal Hotchandani, alongside Boulud and Jean-Francois Sberro, president of Hublot North America, warmly welcomed everyone, setting the tone for what would be a very special evening.

The coursed dinner menu embodied Boulud’s rich palate with refined elegance and French flair. It included notable dishes like John’s River oysters gratinées with a hazelnut parsley-seaweed crust; yuzu-cured Long Island fluke with honeycrisp apple and wasabi vinaigrette; roasted Maine lobster with lovage, purple potatoes and watercress velouté; and a roasted duck breast enhanced with turnip farci and plum sauce rouennaise. The meal was completed by a milk chocolate crémeux with praline croustillant and hazelnut nougatine. Executive chefs Michael Balboni and William Nacev and executive pastry chef Yoho Ogata presented the exquisite meal.

During the evening, Mark Holliday, chairman and CEO of SL Green, spoke sincerely about his efforts with Boulud during the Covid-19 pandemic, explaining their initiative to feed those in need through the program Food 1st. Holliday and Boulud’s tremendous efforts left a lingering feeling of inspiration in the room.

To end the evening, Sberro presented Boulud with a painting by famed New York artist Jojo Anavim that read “Enjoy Life.” The message is an ethos that Boulud honors every day, both personally and professionally. Other notable guests in attendance were Morris Moinian and Frederique van der Wal.
