n In our current political climate, the women’s empowerment movement is getting louder and power suiting has made a triumphant return to fall runways. But these are not the power suits of the 1980s—no Working Girl inspiration here. Designers across the board are redefining them, with fresh takes on silhouette, fabrication and color.

Known for their sophisticated workwear, Theory is at the forefront of the suit trend and their Creative Director of Womenswear, Lisa Kulson, continues to reinvent the classics in a modern way. “There’s the Power Jacket—my favorite piece—which has a strong shoulder, a double-breasted closure and a more pronounced waist,” she shares.

This is the perfect way to add a commanding element to your work ensemble without losing a feminine silhouette.

And for those daring boardroom bosses, Theory offers an edgier take on the classic suit with its Off-The-Shoulder Jacket and High-Waist Legging. Cut from technical fabrics, it is a fresh take that easily moves from a creative office environment to after-work cocktails.

Love the classic cut, but looking for an update? Find it with color or texture in Theory’s burgundy and velvet options, respectively. As our work lives and personal lives continue to merge, so should our wardrobes.

One of the best things about owning a perfect suit is the endless options. When you’re off the clock, pair your double-breasted jacket with fun loafers and boyfriend jeans, or mix your suit trousers with a sexy heel and a cropped knit for an evening out. Don’t be afraid to ‘work’ it out!

“For women today, there’s the Power Jacket—my favorite piece—which has a strong shoulder, a double-breasted closure and a more pronounced waist,” Kulson shares.

ALL BOXED UP The crisp air, changing leaves and pumpkin spice always signal a new beginning—and the right time for another cool bag. And, once again, the must-have for fall is by Alexander McQueen.

With a simultaneous appreciation of heritage and forward thinking to what’s next, the house is constantly at the forefront of the hottest trends.

The Box Bag is a nod to its historic traditions, while putting a modern spin Looking to the clootie tree, colorful leather fringing references the beautiful ribbons hung from the branches that represent hopes and dreams of visiting pilgrims. Meanwhile, all-over metal eyelets are a throwback to armor, and intricate embroidery to needlework from the 16th century.

Simply put: these fresh updates make the new Box Bag the hottest medieval-inspired accessory since a Targaryen dragon.

This may have been short-lived for Jack and Rose, but it was practically the norm for Coco Chanel—and the inspiration behind her company’s newest fine jewelry collection, Flying Cloud.

The standout piece is the Endless Knot necklace—made of white gold dripping with 3.51 carats of round-cut diamonds, 6.19 carat pear-cut diamonds, 2,637 round-cut diamonds and 106 rose-cut diamonds. Needless to say, you don’t want to throw this beauty into the ocean at the end.

STRIKE A CORD Gain the sartorial look with the must-have revamped fabric of the season Fall runways were flush with updates on 1970s corduroy style, with top designers putting a fresh spin on the decade’s silhouettes and styles. So it comes as no surprise that one of the favored fabrics of the era found its way into the house of Brunello Cucinelli.

As a brand known for its impeccable fit, styling and fabrications, at first glance, corduroy may seem like an odd fit. But the Italian house flawlessly executes its storied craftsmanship by creating sophisticated pieces grounded in comfort and wearability. In the Cucinelli tailored fit, the sportier corduroy takes on new life as polished off-duty look.

Pair a blazer with matching tapered trouser to create a relaxed suit that is perfect for casual lunch meetings. Or throw on a duster for your next weekend trip to view the autumn foliage. With Cucinelli’s sleek silhouettes and eye for detail, you’ll never look dated in the season’s hottest comeback.

LuxuryCORNER Haute Fashion NEW YORK STATE OF MIND Louis Vuitton’s artistic director Kim Jones looks to New York for this season’s highly anticipated collection and buzziest collaboration Chocolate and vanilla, East Coast versus West Coast, uptown or downtown—dichotomies tend to produce the most interesting and dynamic collaborations. And with a history and lifestyle as diverse as New York, it’s no wonder the city has spawned artistic legends with individualized styles like Basquiat, Warhol and Haring.

That’s why Louis Vuitton has joined forces with the brand of a thousand person drop lines, Supreme, for a capsule of menswear, accessories and jewelry for Fall

2017. “No New York City men’s conversation is complete without Supreme,” asserts the Louis Vuitton Artistic Director of Men’s Ready to Wear, Kim Jones.

Honoring the originality of Harlem style and Dapper Dan, the Louis Vuitton chocolate and cognac monogram is reinterpreted with Supreme’s iconic box logo and downtown-cool aesthetic. Relaxed silhouettes get an update in fil-coupé and Japanese denim to create luxe, fresh pieces.

And living up to its reputation of impeccable workmanship, each piece is made of the highest quality fabrics with the utmost attention to detail. Now, the question is, can you actually get your hands on a piece of the

tion of years of craftsmanship. It’s a precious few that can combine the two in a meaningful way, but storied house Ermenegildo Zegna on innovating construction without neglecting traditional methods for its Fall 2017 accessories collection, Pelle Tessuta.

In fact, Zegna has taken its more than 100 years of quality construction in the Alpine foothills near Biella, Italy and revolutionized a new material from nappa leather, weaving thin strands on its traditional looms to create a pliable and super-soft ‘fabric’ that is perfect for loafers, belts, bags and wallets. A standout from the inventive collection is the slip-on sneaker, elevated from a standard errand-running shoe to an outfit focal point. Paired with a Zegna jacket and dark denim, the Pelle Tessuta sneaker takes an obvious extra style step.

Rubinacci is a legend in the sartorial world, having dressed pop icons like Bryan Ferry and royals like the Duke of Kent.

LuxuryCORNER Haute Watch

HUBLOT CLASSIC FUSION ITALIA INDEPENDENT COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE CAN BRING YOU FAR IN THIS WORLD. SUCH IS THE CASE WHEN IT COMES to Hublot watches, as the company has been showing us for quite some time with the “Art of Fusion.” This luxury brand has joined forces once again with Italia Independent, and its illustrious founder and creative director, Lapo Elkann, along with the famous Italian tailor Rubinacci.

The result shows both the power of the “Art of Fusion” and the effectiveness of this three-way partnership: Rubinacci is a legend in the sartorial world—not only due to the fame of Luca Rubinacci, who runs the empire in Milan, but also by dressing pop icons like Bryan Ferry and royals like the Duke of Kent. It was in the company’s incredible collection of fabrics, all 60,000 square meters of them, that Hublot and Italia Independent found what they were looking for.

The precious fabrics selected were used to dress the watch, the chronograph version of Hublot’s Classic Fusion, extending from the strap all the

way to the dial—excluding the two sub-dials (to break up the pattern and get a visually more enticing composition, as well as improve legibility). But no matter which watch from the Classic Fusion Italia Independent Collection you choose—a tartan, pieds-de-poule or Prince-de-Galles—you are going to make a statement.

Even the 45mm cases are crafted from either titanium, black ceramic or Hublot’s proprietary King Gold, with clasps to match and fitted with Hublot caliber HUB1143 automatic chronograph movement. All of the watches in this collection are limited: only 100 were created in the titanium and ceramic and only 50 made out of King Gold. So you will certainly feel special to get one on your wrist.

MOON PHASE WATCHES WHEN IT COMES TO PRACTICAL USE, IT DOESN’T SCORE VERY HIGH. UNLESS YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL OR AMATEUR ASTRONOMER, you probably won’t be using the information it provides on a regular basis—if at all. However, when you ask a watch connoisseur about his or her favorite complications, the moon phase ranks surprisingly high.

In fact, a moon phase can change the entire look of a watch. A. Lange & Söhne’s signature, Lange 1, is a very tempting piece to begin with, but the Lange 1 Moon Phase adds just a little more. Even when it’s not the most functional, it makes quite a visual impact.

Perhaps this is also a bit of nostalgia, seeing the moon on the dial of your watch. It brings you back to the earlier days of watchmaking, when it was one of the first complications developed. To this day, almost all of the great brands have at least one moon phase model available in their collections. Like Jaeger-LeCoultre, they are also commonly housed in their most iconic cases, à la the Reverso.

Some brands even give the complication center stage, such as Jaquet Droz, showing the moon in great detail with its Grande Seconde Moon.

On this model, the moon phase is actually larger than the dial that displays the hours and minutes.

But as Hublot proves, it’s not only the classically styled watches that look good with this complication: the moon phase on the company’s Big Bang Perpetual Calendar Sapphire adds a dash of color in an otherwise fully transparent watch—making it even more eye-catching than it already is. It also shows that the moon phase has a rightful place in contemporarily styled watches with what has become, quite frankly, a timeless appeal.

It is the first step towards collaborating with MercedesAMG, whose engines are known for being ample, reliable and all-around respected.

LuxuryCORNER Haute Auto ASTON MARTIN DB11 AVAILABLE WITH V8 Don’t worry, it still packs a punch It might be puzzling that Aston Martin is now offering its flagship DB11 with a V8 engine, made by Mercedes-AMG. But after not being part of a larger conglomerate all these years, the former has decided to join forces with the latter. Aston Martin’s new V8 engine is the first visible step towards the collaboration of these two legendary automotive names.

For the highly exclusive brand, it provides access to great engines, so it doesn’t have to develop them completely from scratch, which—as it only sells a limited amount of cars each year—takes up a disproportionate amount of its investments.

We know this merge might disappoint some fans, but it shouldn’t. Mercedes-AMG engines are ample performers, known for being reliable and all-around respected.

With the DB11, you may also wonder why you would want to buy a V8 instead of a V12, or vice versa, depending on your viewpoint. That will be a matter of taste. Aston Martin is not the first to offer a nearly identical car with either a V12 or a V8, though. Bentley did it with both the Flying Spur and the Continental, although the company’s V12 is a W12. Mercedes-AMG has actually made a legacy out of offering the two V8 and V12 options, with both its SL and S-class, for years.

Fitting the DB11 with a V8 does more to the car than you might think: while it has almost 100hp fewer than the V12 (503hp against 600hp), it is only 0.1 seconds slower in the 0-60 mph sprint. This is mainly thanks to the 253-pound lighter weight of the V8 version, which has a more compact engine. Overall, you will notice this most around corners—where you have a more agile, responsive car to work with.

Aston Martin’s engineers didn’t just take a V8 off the rack at Mercedes-AMG and mount it in the DB11; they modified it so it fits the character of the car. Air intake, throttle response, ECU software and the wet sump lubrication system have, among others, all been customized, and the engine is mounted to a ZF eight-speed gearbox instead. Because of its different size, the V8 is also mounted differently than the V12, resulting in a near-perfect weight balance of 49/51.

Visually, it is hard to even tell the V8 and V12 versions of the

PHOTOS COURTESY OF ASTON MARTIN

BRITISH STYLE While it does have some German DNA now, the DB11 is still very British— which becomes clear from the classy interior and sleek style that is perfect for a drive to Savile Row!

DB11 apart, although the price of the V8 starts at $198,995— making it $17,500 less expensive than the V12. So why would anyone still buy the bigger engine? Because it’s exactly that: a 12-cylinder symphony only made nowadays by a handful of car companies. The choice is yours.

For those who prefer to keep it lighter, the Aston Martin DB11 V8 can be ordered now with first deliveries expected in last quarter of 2017.

Introduced at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa d’Este, this throwback to the 1920s was the vision of a Rolls-Royce connoisseur.

LuxuryCORNER Haute Auto ROLLS-ROYCE SWEEPTAIL Back to the future of ultimate bespoke cars Throughout its existence, Rolls-Royces have been known as the best cars in the world, but being the best is as much about quality and finish as it is about personal experience.

In the early days of the company’s history, personal was top-level: the marque delivering the bare chassis and engine to a coachbuilder of your choosing, who would create the body and interior.

The passing of time has mostly put an end to this practice, but Rolls-Royce is reinstating it as the ultimate luxury.

Its first step was launching the 103EX vision vehicle—in a way, going ‘back to the future’ by allowing customers to have a bespoke car created just for them.

Given the company’s expertise, and the coachbuilding craftsmanship it has always nurtured within its facility, RollsRoyce is taking on even more demanding projects now.

Introduced at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa d’Este this year, its latest was the vision of a RollsRoyce connoisseur who garnered inspiration from the 1920s models. He reimagined them in a modern day creation and took his vision to the esteemed car company.

Rolls-Royce then took on the challenge of making his vision into the stunning Phantom Coupé.

with the finest leathers in contrasting ‘Moccasin’ and ‘Dark Spice’.

While the Sweptail is certainly breathtaking, our opinion doesn’t matter—this is a private vision of what the ultimate Rolls-Royce should be. Just like the 103EX vision vehicle, we believe it will undoubtedly inspire other customers to turn their automotive dreams into reality.

While the 700hp that the new 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS puts down on pavement makes it the most powerful street-legal 911 ever, what’s more important is how it puts down all that power—and gets your adrenaline levels up in the meantime!

It all starts with the power plant of this Porsche. The 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, a modified version of the one found in the 911 Turbo S, gives you not only 80hp more than the 2011 911 GT2 RS, but also 553lb-ft of torque. Where most supercars bring such power to all four wheels these days, the 911 GT2 RS is rear-wheel drive, with rear axle steering to optimize cornering performance.

A full tank of gas in the 911 GT2 RS only brings 3.241 pounds to the scale, with an optional Weissach package (that adds $31,000 to the price tag)—which saves another 40 pounds—for those who still find this too much. It may not sound like a lot, but it does include magnesium wheels and increase the handling characteristics of this 911 even more. Another reason to get it: the carbon fiber elements that simultaneously save weight and enhance the look of the car.

As a top performer, with an aggressive exterior design, the cockpit embodies this same spirit. Full bucket seats with carbon fiber reinforced backrests not only look great, but offer support where—and when—needed. It’s all part of making this car as driver-oriented as possible. That happens to include a customized GT seven-speed

double-clutch Porsche Doppelkupplung transmission, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and a stability management system calibrated especially for the passionate driving the 911 GT2 RS is meant to do.

The 2018 model has an MSRP of $293,200, which gives you a car that’s among the fastest on the road and also one of the most engaging and fun to drive.

LuxuryCORNER Haute Yacht SCARO DESIGN LAUNCHES ITS TEMPTING AEON 380 The perfect blend of power and relaxation

Turkish studio Scaro Design’s new yacht concept, AEON 380, is the first in the company’s latest launch—measuring 38.35 meters, while other models in the near future will be as long as 46 meters. The AEON 380 may just be an exercise in design, combining an agile bow with a stern that is seemingly inspired by the luxury yachts of the early 1900s. All are united in a very modern style, with large windows flooding the interior with natural light.

Meanwhile, five cabins offer space for a total of 12 people, spread out over a generous owner’s suite, two VIP suites, and two twin cabins.

And an additional five cabins are available for a crew of ten people. These factors surely indicate what the goal was when Scaro Design penned the AEON 380 yacht concept: total luxury and relaxation for its owners and guests alike.

NY_Haute YATCHS_8_21.indd 38

8/22/17 4:45 PM

When it comes to superyachts in particular, styling is becoming increasingly more important. New technologies allow for more challenging designs to become a reality and many shipyards are taking advantage. That is why Italian superyacht builder Rossinavi enlisted Pininfarina to design its latest concept.

Measuring 230 feet (or 70 meters), the Aurea was developed to capture your attention—and hold it. Fluid lines give the yacht a unique dynamic, which is further enhanced by rare features, such as a pool surrounding a lounge area at the aft section, and wooden decks and beautiful staircases that connect the different areas.

In many ways, the Aurea is a next-level superyacht—not only in terms of design, but in the way owners and their guests can enjoy it. For instance, the sundeck offers spectacular views and is large enough for six sun loungers, with a whirlpool and dining area available on the deck below. The master suite features a private balcony and large windows, while the guest

cabins enjoy a similar setup in a shared outdoor area that can be utilized for events and get-togethers.

Although technical details have yet to be released, Rossinavi confirmed that the Aurea will also be fitted with a diesel-electric propulsion that will be uniquely placed in the middle of the yacht, rather than at the stern, to open up more space for the beach club.

Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of the Aurea, overall, is that form and function achieve a synergy we know well from Pininfarina’s designs for Ferrari, but that is still rather new to the world of superyachts. It gives us a glimpse into the future— and we cannot wait to see it in real life!

LIVING THE HIGH LIFE With so many stately features, the Embraer Manhattan essentially combines the styles of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building in one.

ART DECO APARTMENT? PRIVATE CLUB? LUXURIOUS RESTAURANT? THE NEW MANHATTAN BY EMBRAER IS ALL OF THESE AT ONCE— and the best part is, it can take you wherever you want to go.

The Manhattan is a design concept that Embraer based on the Lineage 1000E, particularly desired by the rich and famous because of its versatility. It offers plenty of space, yet is still nimble enough to land at airports such as Aspen and London City. But the range of 4,600 nautical miles also means you can fly from New York nonstop to pretty much any major city in Europe.

Embraer shows off what you can do with all the space that the Lineage 1000E offers. The Manhattan’s mahogany wood panels, brass and gold trim, and stunning artwork takes the interior of this private jet to a whole other level. offers an upscale dining option for six people. Its design takes us back to the olden days (in a good way), even modifying some of the windows to create the desired effect. In fact, it might take actually looking outside or hearing the modest hum of the jet engines to know that you are actually airborne, rather than in an opulent apartment in the city that never sleeps.

The outside of the plane has been transformed, as well, with a dark blue livery that features polished silver stripes and wings, reminiscent of such cars of that era as the legendary Bugattis and Duesenbergs. In the long run, with the Manhattan, Embraer gives a lesson in creativity and proves the sky is not the limit—especially when we’re talking about private jets!

CARTIER just remodeled its 5th Avenue boutique, which is one of the flagship stores of La Maison.

Right: Van Cleef & Arpels brought its unique style from Place Vendôme, Paris, to 5th Avenue in 1942.

WHERE TO DO SOME SERIOUS WATCH SHOPPING ON 5TH AVENUE A New York guide to shopping for haute horlogerie.

Few streets in the world can compete with New York’s 5th Avenue.

It is known as one of the best, and most expensive, shopping destinations in the world. It is home to many of the world’s most premier retailers and brands, along with historical landmarks such as the Empire State Building and the Flatiron Building.

It is also a prime location to do some serious watch shopping,

The Cartier boutique on 653 Fifth Avenue is one of the three original boutiques of La Maison. It was the place where Grace Kelly shopped before she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco and where Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor displayed the 69.42-carat pearshaped diamond that they just purchased. Originally managed by Pierre Cartier, it has quite recently been completely remodeled, restoring the building to its former glory and giving its clients an even better experience, as this remains the brand’s largest boutique.

but where to go?

Van Cleef & Arpels - 744 Fifth Avenue Van Cleef & Arpels opened its boutique at 744 Fifth Avenue in 1942. It soon became its home away from home, as World War II forced the majority of the Arpels family to move to New York. It infused the brand with New World style, which they would later bring back to Europe after the war, with a lot of success. Today, it is the place to shop for the brand’s legendary Alhambra collection or pick up a new Pierre Arpels watch.

Harry Winston - 718 Fifth Avenue/701 Fifth Avenue Another historic home on Fifth Avenue can be found at number 718, where we find the flagship store of Harry Winston. Currently, this boutique is undergoing extensive renovations and expected to reopen in 2018. This does not mean that you can’t go shopping for the brand’s iconic diamonds and timepieces, as it opened a temporary boutique at 701 Fifth Avenue. The 5,467-square-foot boutique, divided over two stories, is at your disposal to explore the world of Harry Winston in style.

Hublot - 743 Fifth Avenue Enjoy the Art of Fusion at 743 Fifth Avenue, where Hublot is located. Reopened in 2016, the global flagship store was designed by architect Peter Marino who infused it with the Hublot’s DNA, making it one of the prime locations to shop for a new watch of the brand. While it is the boutique’s façade of 70-feet-tall black aluminum panels, lit with LEDs, that will draw your attention, it will be the innovative watches that will make you want to come inside.

MYKONOS MAGIC This summer, the Grecian destination was continuously packed with jetsetters from all over the world, eager to get their taste of the posh island. Our favorite dining destination was Hippie Fish (photo above).

M

ove over kale, cauliflower and truffle anything…uni is the new decadent ingredient of the hour for the savvy palette. It’s also

been called the foie gras of the sea. Uni is that mustardy-gold edible part of the sea urchin, which is in high demand and now featured on most trendy menus. Although you can harvest it from several locations worldwide, one of the largest and most popular sources is right here in the U.S., particularly the West Coast with some of the very best coming from California and Oregon.

The most well-known and most-eaten form of uni is nigiri or sashimi, though the popular menu item has started to appear on gourmet sandwiches, pastas, risottos and salads. For me personally, what I love most about fresh uni is the light yet rich taste of the sea and the creamy consistency. Just like any ingredient from the sea, it’s all about freshness and quality. I have always said when it comes to the world’s best ingredients, do as little as possible to them. Uni

The best uni on the planet is Hokkaido, as almost any chef will in form you. It’s packed with umami and just tastes like the sea.

is one of those. It does not require anything and is best enjoyed directly from the shell.

The first thing to look for is the consistency.

Uni that is firm and dry indicates it is retaining moisture the right way. On the same note, slimy or soft-looking uni most likely means it’s a good idea to stay away. Just like any delicacy, the art comes in the preparation and creativity.

Chef Ming Tsai

Uni

FRESH FISH Mykonos offers an endless selection of the finest fresh fish of the sea.

When you’re dining at Hippie Fish, you can enjoy uni straight from the shell.

My absolute favorite place to eat uni is at a little seaside restaurant in Mykonos called Hippie Fish on Agios Ioannis, right by the water. They brush this amazing, crusty bread lightly with olive oil and then toast it to perfection on the grill. You use this as your spoon to scoop the uni right out of its shell. Trust me—sitting in the sun,

EUROPEAN FAIRE Outside of Mykonos, another gem where you can find fresh uni is Lo Scoglio (photos above), which is located on the beautiful Amalfi Coast in Italy, right near Nerano.

Recently, I got to enjoy some fabulous uni served on ice at one of my all-time favorite restaurants on the Amalfi Coast near Nerano, called Lo Scoglio.

It was a slightly smaller yield, but it was straight from the sea and caught only hours before. I was in heaven and immediately ordered two more.

I recently launched a New York-based catering

company called F.O.O.D. Inc. (Food of Overwhelming Distinction), which brings the signature dishes of Michelin-starred chefs to client events. In the process I was able to learn from one of my favorite chefs, Ming Tsai, who offered his tips on uni: “The best uni on the planet is Hokkaido, as almost any chef will inform you. It’s packed with umami and just tastes like the sea. When I used to have my show Ming’s Quest on Food Network, I did an entire episode on uni in Port Orford, Oregon.

We were initially there on an Indian reservation to do a show on hunting and preparing bull, but after some mishaps we were forced to scrap the shoot and ended up going elsewhere. Luckily, it worked out for the best and I was able to substitute the original concept with something even better.

I spotted fishing boats from a distance and when I got closer, I noticed that one had a crate of uni twice the size of my car.

The fisherman who caught the uni happened to recognize me and as we started chatting; he invited me on a dive with him the next morning.

N.Y.’S LUXURY HOUSING MARKET IS ON THE UPSWING, DESPITE DROPPING PRICES Although prices have dropped, the luxury market is correcting and gaining strength.

The luxury housing market in New York improved slightly during the second quarter of 2017. A total of 350 contracts for luxury homes were signed in the second quarter of this year, while 343 were signed during the same quarter in 2016. And although more transactions occurred, price volume dropped 10 percent. Approximately one-third of those contracts involved new developments.

Currently, the trend seems to be favoring homes priced under $6 million. Sellers are lowering prices in order to stimulate the market, with the average price reduction being 9 percent. Analysts believe the market is languishing

because of a surplus of luxury properties and the reduced number of overseas buyers. Compass agent Alyssa Soto Brody confirms that prices have adjusted downward, with a 9 percent drop. “The market we are currently in is very much a buyers’ market, where prices have been undergoing a correction,” she says. “It is active; homes priced under $6 million are moving, but buyers are not willing to overpay. Homes priced correctly will sell and will sell quickly. However, aspirational pricing has led to increased buyer patience.” Brody notes that available listings have decreased 4 percent, year over year, with similar drops in condominium and co-op invento-

ries. Along with the decline in available listings, she explains that the number of units above $10 million decreased 11 percent, year over year, which she considers a positive sign for the market. Additionally, condominiums prices in the $3 million to $5 million range rose 9 percent, year over year. Brody attributes this surge to the development of new inventory at One Manhattan Square, 200 East 62 and 50 West.

Meanwhile, luxury sales in the Hamptons, East Hampton, Southampton, and Bridgehampton surged during the second quarter of 2017.

Four homes priced above $20 million sold in the Hamptons, during the quarter, compared with zero sales during the same quarter of 2016. And sales in the other three areas more than doubled year over year, with 14 sales, of which only one was below the ultra-high-end category. Analysts attribute the surge in high-end sales to the strong economy and a healthy Wall Street.

ADA PINKETT SMITH IS THE ULTIMATE ALPHA FEMALE. From playing the sexually charged Rome in Magic Mike XXL to villain Fish Mooney in Gotham, Jada has always morphed into her badass characters naturally, honing in on her own dominant traits to bring a feisty and tough persona into each role. However, in the star’s newest movie Girls Trip, with co-stars Queen Latifah, Regina Hall and Tiffany Haddish, we’re seeing another dimension to the actress.

The typical spirited energy that Jada splashes into every part takes a bit of a backseat and is replaced with a more quiet presence, ushering in a new facet of the actress’ craft. And while her overt dominance is slightly relinquished, her power is not—Jada’s refreshing role in Girls Trip exhibits her versatility, bringing a sense of energy in itself.

competition, she revels in the movie’s ability to show women supporting each other. “I definitely think we need more of that,” she says. “We talk a lot about how society treats us and men treat us, but we don’t focus enough on how we treat each other.” She believes that the way women treat each other reflects on how men treat women. “Rather than fighting each other and pushing each other down, we need to be promoting each other!” she exclaims. “As far as female empowerment goes, it’d be nice to pay a bit more attention to that.”

The love between the cast of women is pervasive both on and off the set, with a group full of strong proponents of women’s empower-

Starring with longtime sidekick Queen Latifah was just one of the many perks of the movie. Marking the first time the pair has starred in a movie together for 21 years since the debut of Set It Off, the chemistry between the best friends made the scenes all the more real. She notes that working with newcomer Tiffany Haddish and protagonist Regina Hall reinforced the ride-or-die friendship instilled throughout the film. “We weren’t afraid to allow each other to shine. We supwe left a lot of room for her to do her own thing. She’s so talented and so freaking funny. We had the best time filming together,” she remarks.

ALL-AMERICAN LUXURY JERRY LORENZO DEBUTS FEAR OF GOD’S FIFTH COLLECTION DURING MLB ALL-STAR WEEKEND AND COLLABORATION WITH NEW ERA.

ashion designer Jerry Lorenzo and his iconic brand, Fear of God, are taking the fashion world by storm. From launching his first collection of Fear of God in 2013, Lorenzo immediately captured the attention and eyes of audiences around the world, particularly the celebrity market. Creating what he calls, “a solution to everyday wardrobe problems,” Lorenzo produces lines of luxury streetwear fabricated with the utmost quality products. While his simple base of luxury wear consists of bomber jackets, extra-long tees, short sleeve side-zip hoodies and military sneakers (which retail over $1,000 a pair), each piece is constructed using top quality materials, like gold hardware and luxury Japanese denim, merging luxury high fashion and streetwear together as one.

HAUTE RESIDENCE’S MOST RECENT MAGAZINE ISSUE, SHOWCASING THE MOINIAN GROUP’S SKY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, A DESIGN COLLABORATION WITH THE NEW YORK KNICKS’ CARMELO ANTHONY AS ITS COVER STORY, WAS DISTRIBUTED AT THE EVENT.

Summit at New York City’s CORE: Club, on April 28, to discuss what’s next for the NYC and South Florida homebuyer.

Featuring panels with the NYC Titans of Business and Florida Ti-

tans of Business, the event was moderated by Peter Grant of The Wall

Street Journal and Jennifer Gould Keil of the New York Post.

Kicking off the event, the NYC Titans of Business featured Bruce

Eichner, Elie Hirschfeld, Billy Macklowe, Mitchell Moinian, Don Peebles and Michael Stern. The developers were asked to first highlight one of their current, or most recent, projects, and what sets that project apart from others in the area. Later, they focused on from where major capital has been coming in recent years, as well as the target markets for investors.

A GUEST VIEWS A DISPLAY CASE WITH BLANCPAIN WATCHES.

“T

he reality is that developers are gamblers,” said Don Peebles of Peebles Corporation. “As you’ve heard, we’re optimistic. There’s an old saying— now I don’t subscribe to this—but if you play blackjack in Las Vegas, you know, if your money lasts, then your luck with change. Well, the name of

our business is to have some strength in the capital side. So, if you can ride it out, hold on to your prices and you have a good product, it will sell because, as Billy said, this is a global market. It’s the best real estate market on the planet. Therefore, you will find buyers for it. If you build a good quality product, like all of us do, then you will have a buyer for it.”

Renters have already moved in to the property by JDS Development Group at American Copper Buildings. JDS founder Michael Stern said, “Despite a lot of talk about weakness in the rental markets, we’re seeing very good velocity there, and we are giving one month concession on a typical 13-month lease, but nothing beyond that. We’re seeing some pretty good velocity, averaging around $90

lowe of William Macklowe Company added, “Over the years, you’ve seen that maturation of the global markets and how the global markets have become one. So, it’s really hard to pull New York out of that… we now stand as the safe haven capital market, globally. And you’ve seen such diversity and inflows of capital from all over the world… and that has yet to really pull back.”

Continuing the conversation, Mitchell Moinian of the Moinian Group said, “…I’d say that no one really knows; I think at the end of the day because it’s just the way that the economy goes. But I do mimic what Don and Billy are saying because that’s why we are developers. We have to be optimistic and we have to be bullish on what we do, or we’d probably be in the wrong business… The city that prevails the most is New York City… At the end of the day, like Billy said, it’s a long-term business, and we count on New York City prevailing and pulling through in the long run.”

Speaking in support of President Donald Trump and his ventures, Elie Hirschfeld of Hirschfeld Properties said, “Let me just give an anecdote on our president. Back some time ago, when there was Penn Yards on the West Side, which is a 100 acres of land going from 59th Street to 72nd Street, our family purchased that site as the first purchaser. We purchased it with a partner, the largest builder in South

MITCHELL MOINIAN “WE HAVE TO BE OPTIMISTIC AND WE HAVE TO BE BULLISH ON WHAT WE DO, OR WE’D PROBABLY BE IN THE WRONG BUSINESS... IT’S A LONG-TERM BUSINESS, AND WE COUNT ON NEW YORK CITY PREVAILING AND PULLING THROUGH IN THE LONG RUN.”

America―Francisco Macri. Times went bad at some point after our partnership had rezoned the site, and they needed to sell. There was a bankruptcy in Argentina, and they sold to our good friend, Donald Trump. So, we remain in the partnership with Donald Trump…

Today, Francisco’s son, Mauricio Macri, is in the White House as the president of Argentina. Well, Donald, our other partner, is the president of the greatest country on Earth. So, we feel particularly connected to both of them, their optimism. Interestingly, this president of Argentina, Mauricio Macri, is a businessman, and now, a very popular president of Argentina in the last three years, doing wonders… Take a look at The New York Times today and yesterday.

Offering a more numerical-focused perspective, Bruce Eichner of The Continuum Company explained, “I tend to think about numbers… If you step back and try to look at this in a more granular fashion. One: Where’s the equity and where’s the debt? Where’s the condo market, or I should say, markets because it’s the market for luxury product, i.e., one thousand, five thousand dollars and up…

oncluding the summit, the Florida Titans of Business—Louis Birdman, Ugo Colombo, Edgardo Defortuna, Shahab Karmely and Dan Kodsi—spoke about their respective residential developments that are going up in and around Miami, as well as the current state of the market.

One Thousand Museum developer Louis Birdman highlighted the draw of

the project: “We had an opportunity to acquire a site that was very sought-after… it was probably the single most important skyscraper site in Downtown Miami because of its location… Because the units are so large, we’re attracting buyers who are coming from all parts

of the world and domestically that would typically come to Miami to buy a big house on the water somewhere.”

Slated for completion in 2018, One Thousand Museum attests to the rapid recovery of the Miami real estate market after the housing industry tanked almost a decade ago. Edgardo Defortuna, founder of Fortune International Group, said, “Why the Miami market is healthy today is because we changed the model. We learned from the past cycle’s lessons... in not starting construction until it is 60 or 65 percent sold. The model is so much safer. The leverage is so much lesser. We, in a way, shift the risk from the developers and the banks to the consumer.”

Founder of CMC Group, Ugo Colombo, echoed Defortuna’s remarks, saying, “I think we are in a leveling phase. I think that we are getting back to normality, where supply matches demand. Banks are not financing useless projects that have no chance of surviving.”

Lastly, Haute Living CEO and publisher Kamal Hotchandani presented Defortuna with Haute Residence’s “Florida Titan of the Year” award.

Haute Residence’s most recent magazine issue, showcasing The Moinian Group’s Sky residential development, a design collaboration with the New York Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony as its cover story, was distributed at the event.

Barrymore’s label currently consists of three different types of wine: a Pinot Grigio, a rosé of Pinot Noir, and a red blend of Pinot Noir with grapes sourced along the Central Coast. Barrymore Wines is a partnership with Jackson Family Wines―the grape-growing empire founded by Jess Jackson in Sonoma County in 1982―produced under its Carmel Road label, whose vineyards are located in Southern Monterey County.

because I love Pinot Grigio, but he’s like, ‘You’re a California girl. What are you doing making wine in Italy?’” From there, she started to look for a local winery to partner with. Carmel Road Winery stood out because it’s a family-operated business that distributes wine nationally.

Barrymore explains the partnership like this: “It was sort of destiny in the way the Carmel Road team and I wanted [the same thing]. I said, ‘Can we stick with Pinot Grigio? That’s what I know and so I’d like to start with that and then continue to learn along the way.” Carmel Road believed the best place to make it was Monterey, so they introduced her to Kato, the new winemaker at the winery. “It was a great education for me.

TIMELESS ROYALTY

Ludovic du Plessis of the regal cognac LOUIS XIII discusses how he keeps the brand at the top and why it is so unique.

Ludovic du Plessis has a long history in the wine and spirits industry, but his relationship with LOUIS XIII goes much deeper. Passion, pride and honor all reflect the global executive director’s feelings toward LOUIS XIII, as he jovially recites, “Long life to LOUIS XIII, the ultimate experience.” To the cognac executive, sipping on LOUIS XIII is a unique experience in itself, one that allows the clients to tap into centuries-old rich history, indulging in the finest delicacies of life. Here, Haute Living sat down with the spirits connoisseur to talk about the coveted cognac.

HL: LOUIS XIII is one of the most prestigious and centuries-old the top?

LDP: LOUIS XIII was created in 1874, and since day one has remained the ultimate luxury spirit in the industry. It has been on the tables of the kings and queens of our world since the beginning of time and now rests on the tables of the contemporary celebrities. The secret to keeping LOUIS XIII at the top is the fact that it’s a family business—we have a vision and we stick to it. It’s all about heritage, savoir faire and transmission. And it’s about being daring, innovative and visionary. Each decanter of LOUIS XIII is the life achievement of generations of cellar masters, made from fine crystal, mouth-blown by some of the most

”

skilled master craftsmen. LOUIS XIII features exceptional aromas evoking myrrh, honey, dried roses, plum, honeysuckle, cigar box, leather, figs and passion fruit.

HL: How does LOUIS XIII stand out from its competitors in the luxury spirits world?

LDP: I actually do not see our competitors in the wines and spirits world, but more so in the watch and fashion industries, with brands like Berluti, Chanel and Van Cleef. When you drink LOUIS XIII it is memorable because you are drinking the essence of time—and time is the only thing you can’t buy today. We also have a close relationship with our clients—we place them at the heart of everything.

HL: What marketing strategies do you find work best to appeal to your audience?

LDP: There is no marketing at LOUIS XIII. It’s all about terroir, people and time. Terroir: LOUIS XIII is made in cognac from the best of the best―named Cognac Grande Champagne. People: from the winemaker to the brand ambassador, we all share the same passion of craftsmanship—

in every city, there is a man or a woman who spreads the good words of LOUIS XIII and engages directly with our clients. Time: Think one century ahead. Each decanter is the life achievement of generations of cellar masters.

HL: This past fall LOUIS XIII debuted its first boutique in Beijing’s upscale SKP shopping center. What success have you seen from the launch of your first brick-and-mortar?

LDP: This is an exciting new departure for LOUIS XIII, a first that goes down in history. With it, LOUIS XIII reaches far beyond the sector of wines and spirits, and asserts its credentials as a true luxury brand in its own right, as an icon, an experience, a French Art de Vivre. This is a tremendous success as it allows us to better know our clients and to gift them the most appropriated experience. It is a huge success. By creating our own boutique and offering more profound client experiences with tailored services, LOUIS XIII is furthering this vision and crafting the future.

HL: How was it to be the first in the spirits world to actually open a boutique?

LDP: A boutique allows us to offer our clients the ultimate retail experience. Whether they are connoisseurs or sensitive to craftsmanship and exception, quality and history, our clients are not merely looking for a product—they want to experience the brand. Wine and spirits brands are not retailers, but we believe that LOUIS XIII, with its unique positioning, has the ability to change the rules of the game in our industry, to resonate beyond cognacs and dialogue directly with its valued clients.
