ichael Strahan is the proud owner of a collection of enviable art acquisitions that includes a Basquiat, a Retna, a handful of Harings and a Baldessari. He also has an elevated man cave with its own Moët & Chandon champagne vending machine; a varied assortment of watches, highlighted by umpteenth Rolexes; and a car collection that even Jay Leno would admire: a rare 1990 Lamborghini LM002 truck, a 2018 McLaren Senna, a 1971 Ferrari Daytona and a Porsche Carrera GT… as well as various MercedesBenzes, BMWs and Porsches. And yet, despite his highbrow tastes, the two-time Emmy winner and Super Bowl champion does not consider himself to be a Renaissance man. In fact, the former pro footballerturned-talk-show-host considers himself to be the exact opposite.

“I consider myself to be a working stiff, I really do,” he says with a laugh before noting, “I do feel very fortunate and blessed to be able to have gone from one career to another, and to be able to have all these opportunities come my way now, because I never saw them coming. I never imagined this.”

Although he’s referring to his career reincarnation—a varied wealth of opportunities across a plethora of platforms, from broadcasting to TV and film production to fashion design—he could say the same for the job that led him to this very place: pro football.

Prior to joining the ranks of the top sports broadcasters in the country, this 15-year NFL veteran—who spent his entire career playing for the New York Giants—was the equivalent of athletic royalty: a seventime Pro-Bowler; one of only four players in history to lead the NFL in sacks for two seasons; breaking the 18-year-old NFL single-season sack record with 22.5 sacks in 2001; and a spot in the 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame class―the sport’s highest honor. During the last game of his final season in the NFL, he helped lead the Giants to win Super Bowl XLII over the favored New England Patriots, which had a perfect season record. He retired on the highest note possible in 2008, with a Super Bowl title, 141.5 career sacks, 854 career tackles, four career interceptions, 24 forced fumbles and three career touchdowns over a 200-game period.

He paid the price for his gridiron success; upon his retirement, he found himself pigeonholed as just a football player and found it incredibly hard to break free from the “jock” stigma.

“Half the time, you get so boxed in. You’re supposed to just do one thing,” he says. “I’m like, ‘That’s cool, that’s great, but I’m more than just a football player. I’m a person who has other interests outside of sports, and I want to find and explore some of those things.’”

16 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

He started doing so almost immediately after retiring, though inevitably, he turned to sports. Mere weeks after officially retiring from the NFL on June 8, 2008, it was announced that Strahan would be joining the Fox NFL Sunday pregame show alongside Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, Terry Bradshaw and Curt Menefee.

Two years later, in 2010, he co-hosted Live! with Regis and Kelly for the first time as a guest host. When Regis Philbin retired in 2011, Strahan was the obvious choice to partner with Kelly Ripa, since their chemistry and his overall charisma made the show fun to watch (fans agreed; ratings surged so high in all key demographics that the show bypassed its direct competition—the fourth hour of NBC’s Today Show—by 87 percent). And thus began Strahan’s career evolution.

When he left Live! to begin working on Good Morning America in 2016, it was with two Daytime Emmys—co-wins with Ripa for “Outstanding Talk Show Host”—under his belt, as well as a nomination for 2014 Sports Emmy Award in the category of “Outstanding Sports Personality – Studio Analyst.” Currently, he hosts both Good Morning America as well as Strahan and Sara, the newly renamed third hour of said morning show, which debuted last September as GMA Day and serves as an analyst of Fox NFL Sunday. He also co-hosted FOX’s Thursday Night Football Pregame Show live from New York for the 2018-2019 NFL season alongside fellow Pro Football Hall of Famers Bradshaw and Long.

In the interim, he formed SMAC Entertainment—a business venture with longtime friend Constance Schwartz-Morini—to produce shows like ABC’s $100,000 Pyramid and TBS’ The Joker’s Wild, a game show hosted by Snoop Dogg, as well as the Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Sports Awards, plus several additional projects in the athletic space that marry his past and present, such as Tackle My Ride—a series he executiveproduced about current NFL players helping to restore dream rides for fellow auto enthusiasts.

And while none of these ventures—save for sports analyst, a field he knew intimately—was particularly expected, they were all completely organic, and all came about because Strahan refused to settle for what was expected of him. “I’m somebody who’s willing to take a chance and not afraid to fail,” he maintains, noting, “You’ve got to be able to throw yourself out there, and whatever happens, happens. Some things are going to be great, and some things aren’t, but you’ve got to be able to live with your decisions.”

This includes his past sartorial sins. The man you see so well put together on your HDTV every morning, whose look is so sharp that it even garnered him his own clothing line, was the opposite of impeccable during his time in the NFL. He recalls in particular one much-photographed look that he fervently hopes never resurfaces: a huge, multicolored button-down shirt tucked into baggy jeans with a cell phone clipped to his belt. “There are like 200 things wrong in one photo!” he laughs. “At the time, you think you look sharp, but I cringe now thinking of all the pictures that must exist. Back in the day, you’d have orange, green, purple suits—[my closet] was like a bag of Skittles. But when you’re in the locker room, you’ve got to show up and look sharp. If you don’t, the guys will ride you into the dirt.”

His rainbow-hued wardrobe was accessorized with the ultimate teammate-approved accessory: the NFL necklace. “Back in my day in the NFL, I had the big gold chain with the NFL logo made of gold with my name etched along the top in diamonds,” he recalls. “I called it the ‘NFL starter kit.’ When you want people to know who you are, you pull it out

“I BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU START TAKING SHORTCUTS AND STOP FINISHING THINGS, THAT’S KIND OF A METAPHOR FOR HOW YOUR LIFE IS.”

and lay it on your chest. It was my badge of honor for hard work, and a way of getting into the club for free.”

However, he notes, “As you get older, you tuck in the chain, and the next thing you know, you’re taking off the chain. I realized people would go, ‘Oh, you’re that football player.’ You go, ‘Yeah, that’s me.’ But after a while, you start to go, ‘Yeah, I played football, but I’m not just that football player.’ I had to get people away from the mindset that I was just a football player… and I think it worked because now, most people don’t even remember that I played football, which is great.”

He certainly looks like a football player in stature—6’4” and 255 pounds of pure muscle—but the impeccable image he presents on Good Morning America is miles away from the look he rocked in the ’90s (aka the fifth member of Boyz II Men). “I’ve definitely had a fashion evolution,” he notes. “I love fashion, and I love looking good.”

Whether it’s rocking suits and ties on the small screen or athleisure as he does off-screen, for the most part, it’s his own line—Collection by Michael Strahan—that has him feeling like the king of the world. And why not? He designed it for himself, after all. “I pretty much always wear my own stuff,” he admits. “It freaks me out to go into my own closet, pull something out and go, ‘I love this’—[especially because] it has my name on it.”

Speaking of which—his name, in a word, is everything. “Everything I promote and sell are things that are authentic to me,” he notes. “I’m not selling you something that isn’t me. I’m not giving you a product that isn’t authentic or a person that isn’t authentic. Authenticity is very important to me. It’s something I harp on because so many things that are done are formula for people. My life is not a formula; it never has been and it never will be.”

That’s why he turned to designer friends he admired—including John Varvatos, former Nautica CEO Harvey Sanders, Kenneth Cole, Neil Cole and Theory co-founder Andrew Rosen—for advice when launching Collection, which encompasses suits, collared shirts, belts, ties, cufflinks, shoes and suspenders, as well as a line for boys in 2015 and MSX by Michael Strahan, a men’s athleisure line, in May 2016. “I asked these guys for advice, and they’ve been so forthcoming and easy with it,” he says. “I’ve been friends with them for over 20 years, and it was never about the business because I never thought I was getting into the business. But apparently osmosis [is a thing]; you hang around with someone long enough, and you end up doing what they do.”

Or, as is the case with Religion of Sports—an original documentary series, now in its third season, which examines unique examples of sports’ cultural and spiritual impact in regions around the world that airs on the Audience Network as well as on both DIRECTV and AT&T U-verse—you end up working with people who excel at the same things you do. Strahan co-produces the series with Deepak Chopra’s director son Gotham and none other than the New England Patriots’ most famous face, Tom Brady.

The idea to correlate sports and religion was Gotham’s. Over lunch at a Los Angeles café years ago, he explained his idea to Strahan, how parishioners are fans, cathedrals the stadiums and sports the religion.

“We talked about compelling sports stories that tap into a different idea of what sports mean to society, what goes beyond the athletic and becomes something deeper,” Strahan says.

Personally, Strahan didn’t realize the correlation until he was actually in the game. He grew up as an Army kid in Germany and got his first taste of sports mania while playing a year of high school football in Texas. “Your team sets the mood for the whole city through all the fans. It is a religion in so many ways,” he insists. “It taps into people.”

Once he and Gotham established the idea, they recruited Brady to the cause. “Tom was in love with the idea, and we were in love with what Tom brought to the table—a guy who’s brilliant; the best who’s ever done it.”

Never mind that in his final football game, it was Strahan who bested

Brady. It should have made them enemies, or at least have some good, old-fashioned rivalry… but nope. Strahan wasn’t having any of that.

“Yeah, we were on rival teams, but you know, if you sack a guy enough and you’re always laying on top of him, you get to know each other pretty well,” he says with a laugh, before adding, “In all seriousness, I’ve known Tom since his first few years in the league, and he’s always been the coolest guy. We’ve always had a mutual respect. I respected his grind to be the best because I’ve always tried myself to grind to be the best. It comes from a mutual appreciation for each other. I was excited to get a chance to work with him off the football field because a lot of times, athletes don’t have that opportunity, and if they do, they don’t take advantage of it.”

Trust us, Michael Strahan is a guy who is taking advantage of every opportunity life throws his way. On a professional level, he plans on building the direct-to-consumer business of Collection, as well as launching women’s products. He’s also focusing on developing films and television features through his SMAC Entertainment because he finds it “one of the most amazing things to have an imagination that you can make a reality.” When he adds, “I’m excited to go work every day because this is a life I could never have imagined.” We’re in awe… and we believe him.

A

s if he hadn’t done enough already, in 2015, Strahan released a book (a best-seller, naturally) titled Wake Up Happy: The Dream Big, Win Big Guide to Transforming Your Life. The gist: his personal stories and motivational advice are meant to inspire readers to go from good to great in pursuit of their dreams, as Strahan did himself.

Oddly enough, it was football—the channel through which he owes his dream-like reality—that was never his dream… it was his father’s dream, that became his reality. Born in Houston, Texas, Strahan spent most of his childhood in Germany, where his father, Gene, was stationed for the U.S. Army. As a result of his father’s urging him to earn a football scholarship, he returned to the U.S., where he lived with his uncle Art, a former NFL defensive lineman, back in Houston. It took just one season of playing football to score a scholarship offer from Texas Southern University. During his senior year at TSU, he was selected for the first team All-America. He was drafted by the New York Giants after college, and the rest, as they say, is history.

To say that Strahan’s life reads like fiction would be accurate. He himself can’t even pin down the “craziest” part. “The craziest part of it all? Hell, what are you talking about? It’s all crazy!” he laughs. “From growing up in Germany with a dad who said, ‘You will get a football scholarship,’ who put me on a plane and sent me to live with my uncle to a Hall of Fame football career. Everyone expected me to talk about football on TV, but all of a sudden, I’m on a daytime show, which I parlayed into a news show, then another daytime show. It blows my mind because I keep on thinking, ‘How does this thing keep going?’ But it does. I think when I look back, all of it is going to blow my mind. It kind of blows my mind right now, but I try not to act like it because I don’t want to get caught up in the fray. I don’t want to stop and think about it because if I do, it’s overwhelming.”

So instead, he keeps his head down and back straight. He works harder than anyone. He’s up at 5 a.m. every day, reading emails for Good Morning America, researching his subjects, going over his notes, racing from one show to the other and heavily studying up on anything and everything he might need to know about. “I compartmentalize,” he says.

“Once I get to Strahan and Sara, I completely block out GMA. It’s weird.

You could ask me, ‘Who was on the show today?’ and I won’t remember it.” @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 19

His way of coping is called self-preservation: If he stopped to think about one section of his day, he might not get through it. This is still just his morning: He has even more meetings—with his production, management and clothing companies—plus 90-minute daily gym sessions to keep his football physique intact. Somewhere in his scheduled day, he finds time to eat and to speak to his kids—daughter Tanita and son Michael Anthony (from his first marriage to Wanda Hutchins) and twins Sophia and Isabella (from his second marriage to Jean Muggli).

“It’s a full day,” he notes. “I wake up at 5 and go to bed at about 11 every day, and it doesn’t stop.”

And during the football season? Forget about it. We want to weep with exhaustion just hearing about how hectic Strahan’s life becomes.

“During football season, there is no chill,” he says. “I work Monday through Friday on GMA or Strahan and Sara, then Thursday during football season for Thursday Night Football. Friday after GMA, I fly to L.A. Saturday is my only day off. Sunday I’m at the Fox Studio from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. shooting the football show, then I get back on the plane, fly back to the East Coast and start the week all over again.”

When he acknowledged that his epithet should be “working stiff,” we didn’t realize how accurate that would be. Post-football season, Strahan has his weekends back—though he has difficulties dreaming up ways to fill “all” that time. “It’s always weird [post-season]; two days feel like two weeks to me,” he says. “I’m not used to having two days in a row off. It’s crazy.”

What’s even crazier is the thought of retirement. Strahan simultaneously yearns for it and can’t even envision it. Seriously, what would he do with himself if he had weeks on end off if he can’t even survive a free weekend?

“I’ll probably sleep more,” he laughs. “When people ask me what I’m looking forward to in the future, I’m like, ‘Retirement.’ No time soon, though; I’ve still got a ways to go. I’m still a young guy!”

Until that fated day comes (likely when he’s 90), Strahan is going to keep working and striving to be better every single day. When you’re a perfectionist as he is, “perfection” is a unicorn of a sentiment that exists but is rarely achieved.

“I always feel like I could do better every day,” he confides. “I literally will think about the shows that I’ve done today and go, ‘I could have said that better or a little different.’ I don’t think that ever changes, and if it does, that means I need to get out of this business because it means I don’t care as much. I’m just never satisfied. I think that’s why I do all the things that I do. I always strive to do better and do more and make what I do perfect. What makes me wake up every day is thinking—foolishly—that I can make [life] perfect.”

When we call him on his perfectionism, he admits to having some perfectionist tendencies. “I have to finish things,” he explains. “Things have to be right, but I’m not one of these people that is [so uptight that they aren’t] enjoyable to be around. I’m more of the perfectionist in that, if I’m working on something or part of something, I want it to be right.

Most of the things I do are about the enjoyment of other people. If someone is watching something, I don’t want them to feel cheated in any way; I want them to feel like I was really working. I’m the guy who cleans up when the cleaning lady is coming; the guy who if I throw a piece of paper in the garbage can and miss it, I could never leave it. I’ve got to go and pick it up and make sure it gets home. I actually did that yesterday with the garbage and paper with a buddy. He was like, ‘Just leave it.’ I said ‘No, no, I can’t.’ I believe that when you start taking shortcuts and stop finishing things, that’s kind of a metaphor for how your life is. For me, I finish. I don’t care what it is; once I start it I have to complete it in the way in which it was intended to be completed.”

He’s learned the hard way that shortcuts don’t work. “When I played football, I learned a very valuable lesson: Don’t think you’re so good that you’ve just got it, because you’re fooling yourself,” he acknowledges.

“When you’re in the game and there’s this guy that’s beating your butt,

you’re thinking, ‘Maybe I should have watched the film and been a little bit more prepared to handle this.’ That’s a life lesson. It taught me to know everything I can about everything I’m going into. To this day, I read everything. Emails—work, business, personal—I read everything. I retain it all and I don’t cut corners.”

But what if the perfectionist makes a mistake? Does he beat himself up? Self-flagellation is not recommended, in our opinion. By that token, he agrees with us. “I’ve definitely made mistakes, but who hasn’t? And I don’t have any regrets because every mistake I’ve made has been a learning experience,” he maintains, noting that there is one bee in his bonnet that, while not a regret or mistake, certainly taught him a lesson.

“I was doing a sitcom [the short-lived 2009 Fox series Brothers], and there were some decisions made on the show that I felt differently about.

I regretted that I did not share my opinion. When the show didn’t work, and I felt like I held back, I was mad at myself. At the end of the day, when your name is on something and it doesn’t work out, then people are going to look at you. Now, my name is on something, I’m invested 100 percent. I put everything I have into everything [I do]. I learned that if something is going to fail, at least you put everything you had into it, and you can feel good about it.”

He pauses. “That’s the biggest lesson I learned from failure,” he notes.

“I don’t have any regrets because without those things, I don’t have this From Top: With Sylvester Stallone at the Kiev, Ukraine, premiere of mindset, this career that I have.”

The Expendables;with Amber Heard in Aquaman;and with Florian To that statement, there in is Creed only one Munteanu 2 word left to say, and that is “perfection.”

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FOOD NETWORK

& Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) is back once again for an all-star lineup of world-renowned culinary and vintner names merging together the best that food and wine has to offer. In light of the current climate of our world, the festival has placed special emphasis this year on the industry’s greatest female powerhouses, including Tribute Dinner honorees Nancy Silverton and Rhonda Carano. Here, we chat with the master chefs and vintners to get the inside scoop on this year’s upcoming festival, what they’re most looking forward to, why female empowerment is important in the industry and more.

NANCY SILVERTON & RHONDA CARANO: How does it feel to be honored at this year’s SOBEWFF Tribute Dinner?

NS: Perhaps it sounds a bit corny, but it really is an honor to be acknowledged by SOBEWFF because I have long admired the work they do.

RC: I am incredibly honored and humbled to be chosen, along with Nancy Silverton, as an honoree at the 18th Annual SOBEWFF. To have been selected to join past recipients whom I have long admired and respected is an enormous compliment.

It’s the first time they are honoring two females at Tribute Dinner. How does that make you feel?

NS: I feel honored, but I must say that I have always believed that I am a chef. Not a female chef, but simply a chef. I was extremely fortunate to come of age in kitchens that respected the talent of the cook.

22 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

RC: Celebrating women across all hospitality and tourism disciplines is inspiring for future generations. I believe it is important to recognize women’s contribution and leadership roles in an industry that for many years had a scarcity of women. Now that the glass ceiling has been broken, it is deserving for women to push forward.

What does that say about the changes taking place in the industry right now?

NS: Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a cockroach to force someone to clean the house. It started with Harvey Weinstein and obviously hit our industry hard, my own business included. From now on, that behavior will simply not be tolerated at any level.

RC: Business in general is changing as we speak with technology, culture and, yes, equality for both women and men in today’s workplace. The competitive landscape we live in is complex with many faces at play. For years, women had to work harder to receive the same recognition as men.

In today’s wine and spirits industry, I see young, energetic, bright, knowledgeable women taking their place next to men as owners, winemakers and leaders with valued respect and appreciation. It’s refreshing and exciting to see their outlooks and approach to the wine business.

What are some of the toughest challenges you’ve had to face in your career?

NS: I have been fortunate not to be a victim of sexual harassment, so my challenges were ones I embraced such as making the dishes I created taste better and better.

RC: Being recognized for my worth to the organization. In my particular case, I had two career paths: one in the gaming/hospitality world, and then being a winery owner since the early 1980s, both of which have been male-dominated industries. Coming from an Italian family, men were the breadwinners, so I struggled with my own feelings of inadequacy. In my heart of hearts, though, I knew I could do the same work just as well. I think this, along with my determined and ambitious personality, are why I continue to push myself to this day.

What advice do you have for young women looking to follow in your path?

NS: Know and, more importantly, want the path to be difficult because it will be. Once you realize that and you expect difficulties, they won’t knock you out. They might occasionally knock you down, but you’ll get right back up and keep on cooking.

RC: Know your worth and go for it! Follow your dreams. Make sure your life is balanced… in health, wellness, family and friends, and never stop exploring new ideas and interacting with fellow workers and customers.

This year, SOBEWFF is putting a major focus on female chefs. What does this say about the climate of the industry?

NINA COMPTON, CHEF/OWNER, COMPÈRE LAPIN AND BYWATER AMERICAN BISTRO: I think the climate in the industry is shifting in a positive direction. The focus lately has been to uplift female chefs―which is great―but the focus should

really be about making it an equal playing field for all chefs. When I entered the industry, I always thought of myself as a cook or a chef, not a “female chef” because we don’t categorize chefs based on their gender. We are chefs, so let’s start recognizing chefs for their talent instead of their gender.

received. I’m sure I missed out on certain positions that men were chosen for. I even remember flying out to Los Angeles for a show that I really wanted to be part of and was told by a female producer in my ear that they really didn’t want a woman chef for the role as they looking for really strong personalities and individuals. Male chefs have most definitely dominated the workplace, but it’s exciting to see more and more woman succeeding.

To be clear, we’re not looking to replace the men, we’re just looking to join them.

ALEX GUARNASCHELLI, EXECUTIVE CHEF, BUTTER RESTAURANT: I think it’s wonderful that we are giving more space for women in all areas of the conversation surrounding the topic of food. I think we should really pay less attention to gender and just let the people have exciting conversations about food do just that. That said, it’s also wonderful to hear more from women in the industry. It will likely encourage more women to believe they can join us. I also want to add that [SOBEWFF founder] Lee Schrager always has his finger on the pulse of everything! I’m not surprised that he has brought this great idea to fruition for the festival.

SAMANTHA “SAM” CARROLL, CHEF/ OWNER, SAC-A-LAIT AND HOT TAILS: To me, it says that we are in a season of change and acknowledgment. A lot of restaurants and business owners are paying more attention to what is happening in their kitchens and businesses, and making the necessary changes to improve things for the better.

JANINE BOOTH, CHEF/PARTNER, STILTSVILLE FISH BAR: The climate is certainly evolving, and the culture in kitchens in general is adapting, which is definitely encouraging more women to step into the industry. I am really inspired by this movement, and it is so great to see female chefs getting a chance to be celebrated for their work. Currently at Stiltsville Fish Bar alone, almost 3/4s of our cooks are female, and it is amazing! Services are smooth, egos are kept to a minimum and you see a feminine touch and finesse on every plate leaving the kitchen.

Do you think this signifies a big change in our society?

ALEX GUARNASCHELLI: I think we are looking at a lot of big shifts in the industry. I am hoping for change―always. Not just with gender questions but with safety. Nurturing a culture of respect. Cooking is manual labor as much as it is art. That’s what we shouldn’t forget. Shelling a piping-hot lobster with your bare hands is just as challenging as putting it on a plate with tweezers and the right sauce!

ANGIE MAR, CHEF/OWNER, THE BEATRICE INN: I think we are in a tremendously difficult time in the industry, but it’s exciting to see the change that is coming around. I have never been of the mindset that gender should be a topic of discussion in this industry. For me, that is one of the beauties of this industry. Food should be genderless; it should be raceless; it should be a great equalizer that brings everyone to the table.

What struggles have women had to face in the culinary industry?

NINA COMPTON: Being a woman in the industry, your skills are constantly doubted, but you have to believe in yourself and believe that failure is not an option. We have to support each other, and I truly believe in strength in numbers.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF SOBEWFF

JANINE BOOTH: The industry in general is filled with challenges. Long hours, stressful conditions, tight time constraints, the constant pressure of putting up perfectly prepared food―dish after dish. It is a tough industry for everyone, no matter how passionate you are. Women used to be heavily outnumbered in a very masculine culture, but as things progress we are seeing this culture find balance, and I believe that women are the source of this balance.

MICHELLE BERNSTEIN: I think people just need to realize that we truly are equal in intelligence, strength, emotion and finally in capability.

Who have been some of your mentors/ culinary icons?

NINA COMPTON: There are many great chefs I have worked with and lucky to call my mentors, like Daniel Boulud, Scott Conant and Norman Van Aken. I’ve become close to other chefs I admire like Dominique Crenn and Traci Des Jardins.

What are you most looking forward to during SOBEWFF? ALEX GUARNASCHELLI: Honestly, I love what this does for the cause it supports. I love the energy of bringing so many people from all around the United States together to such a beautiful place to celebrate food and continue great conversations!

MICHELLE BERNSTEIN, CHEF/OWNER MBC CATERING/CRUMB ON PARCHMENT: We all face struggles in the culinary industry. I don’t know if women face more struggles than men, but we face different ones. One of the hardest things I ever encountered was becoming a mother and at the same time thriving in my career and continuing the workload as I did before my son came into my life. I can only account for myself and say that I was most definitely underpaid up until the last time I worked for someone else. I never received the same perks that my male counterparts @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 23

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR FOR DIOR MEN KIM JONES SHOWCASES HIS WINTER 2019-2020 COLLECTION AT PARIS FASHION WEEK.

BY DEYVANSHI MASRANI

30 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

DIOR MEN ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Kim Jones has done it again, this time with his Winter 2019-2020 collection, which debuted at Paris Fashion Week. Drawing inspiration from the House of Dior’s couture heritage, Jones reimagined and reinvented some of the Maison’s most recognizable shapes, techniques, materials and ethos, blending them together with his exploration of Christian Dior himself, particularly his history as an Avant-Garde galleries.

Some of those recognizable Dior symbols, materials and finishes featured in the collection include Monsieur Dior’s beloved panthère, tiger and leopard prints in knitwear and intarsia furs, silks, structured tailoring, drapery, cashmeres, lace, and even nylon, all coupled with cutting-edge technology, giving some fabrics a highgloss sheen. The color palette is signature Dior, with shades of blue, bisque, gray and of course, black.

Continuing the House and Jones’ adoration for the world of art, Kim Jones partnered with world-renowned Raymond Pettibon for the collection, using some of his existing drawings and some brand new works that were specially created in various prints, knits, jacquards and hand-embroideries. The jewelry—made

by Yoon Ahn—also pays homage to Christian Dior’s fascination with the world of superstition, featuring various, eyecatching charms. Accessories continue to play a big part in the Dior Men world, where the iconic Dior Saddle Bag is again translated for a more masculine finish. This time, Jones used nylon and lush, leopardpatterned mink for the new cross-body style. The show also presented backpacks, cases and even utility gloves.

As usual, the show brought out a slew of the world’s most elite A-Listers, including Christina Ricci, Colton Haynes, Daniel Arsham, J Balvin, Kate Moss, Kid Cudi, Lily Allen, Miguel, Naomi Campbell, Natalia Vodianova, Pusha T and Robert Pattinson.

“It’s not a bag, It’s A

baguette!”

HAUTE LIVING EXCLUSIVELY SHARES THE FENDI RELAUNCH OF ITS ICONIC BAGUETTE VIA A SERIES OF MINI MOVIES, WITH SEX AND THE CITY’S SARAH JESSICA PARKER MAKING A CAMEO IN THE NEW YORK EPISODE.

THE BAGUETTE IS BACK! TO RE-LAUNCH its iconic Baguette bag, FENDI has debuted

a series of three movie episodes in three of its major markets—Hong Kong, Shanghai and New York—telling the tales of four fabulous friends and their quest to find their ultimate FENDI Baguette.

The third episode, set in the city that never sleeps that is New York, stars four social influencers: Caro Daur, Natasha Lau, Ebonee Davis and Melissa Martinez. With the Big Apple’s bright lights serving as the backdrop, Daur comes to the realization that the vintage, purple sequined-adorned Baguette is her ultimate must-have item.

As a result, the foursome speedily makes their way to the FENDI boutique, only to find that Daur’s dream bag was just sold!

Not losing hope, the girls chase the buyer carrying a FENDI shopping bag down the street and stop her. When the woman turns around, it turns out to be none other than the protagonist of all protagonists, Sarah Jessica Parker herself, who—in true “Carrie Bradshaw” fashion—exclaims, “This is not a bag, it’s a Baguette!”

Q&A with social influencer Caro Daur WHAT DOES FRIENDSHIP MEAN TO YOU?

PHOTOS COURTESY OF FENDI

Friendship is a choice. It is the choice to love someone unconditionally. It’s about deciding to trust and extend yourself to be loyal in good and bad times.

WHAT’S THE BEST THING YOU LIKE TO DO WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND?

Going on a road trip!

TELL US ABOUT NEW YORK. WHAT’S THE BEST HOTSPOT TO GO WITH YOUR FRIENDS?

My favorite place in New York is the Bowery hotel, it’s so cosy and it has the best vibe possible. When I travel to New York I always stay there with my friends.

WHAT DOES FENDI MEAN TO YOU?

FENDI is sophisticated and timeless.

USE THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE FENDI BAGUETTE BAG?

Iconic, extraordinary and extravagant.

WOULD YOU DEFINE THE BAGUETTE AS ICONIC? WHY?

It is definitely iconic! It is artful. The baguette comes in so many different colors and fabrics. Every bag is a piece of art. It’s fun to discover all the editions—also in a cool vintage store.

ANY COOL ANECDOTE FROM THE DAY ON SET?

When we were shooting on the streets of NY there were paparazzis taking pictures everywhere. That’s also because Sarah Jessica Parker was there with us. It has been an incredible experience.

FOR THE LOVE OF

GUCCI

The wild and wonderful world of Gucci never disappoints, especially with Alessandro Michele at its helm. The pieces showcased in this gorgeous editorial—shot in the stunning Whitby Hotel’s Whitby Suite in the heart of Manhattan—are the creative genius’ redefined classics, reinterpreted and reimagined with every season that comes. Each draws from the brand’s deeprooted history, but also boldly calls upon Michele’s forward-looking vision, making for very wearable, statement-making accessories.

HOW TO GET A VICTORIA’S SECRET

BODY Victoria’s Secret Angels Trainer Stephen Pasterino Shares 7 Ways To Get A Victoria’s Secret Body

Secret model? Well, you’re in luck. Stephen Pasterino, the founder of New York based P.volve studio— a unique fitness method that blends physical therapy, functional science & hip-opening movements to sculpt hard-to-target areas—is sharing his secrets.

We caught up with Pasterino, who trains VS Angels Devon Windsor, Blanca Padilla, and Romee Strijd, at a workout class in partnership with athleisure brand Varley, where he shared seven ways to get a Victoria’s Secret body.

1) CHEC K OUT AN INFRARED SAUNA

An infrared sauna is always on my Victoria’s Secret clients’ agenda to maintain their water weight! Whether it’s for an audition or a show, they are looking to keep water retention as low as possible. The infrared sauna is also really good for your skin, as it creates a lasting glow.

2) GET TIGHT AND TONED

The one request I get from every model is to get rid of their jiggle. It isn’t so much about size as it is about getting your muscles tight and lean, so when they walk down a runway, you see the natural contour and structure of their legs. I always focus on the thighs and arms by using my specially designed equipment – the P.band and the P.ball – that sculpts hard-to-target muscle groups, like the inner thigh and underarm.

3) FOLLOW A HEALTHY AND FILLING DIET

When it comes to diet, healthy proteins and veggies are at the top of the list with a focus on foods that are easy to digest, so there’s no bloating. My VS clients eat a lot of fish. Simple tip: blend up your veggies, so they break down easier in your body. And you don’t need to avoid carbs altogether, just be smart about the type of carbs and ingredients you put in your body – quinoa and sweet potato in moderation are great options.

46 HAUTE LIVING hauteresidence.com

4) SAY NO TO ALCOHOL

Drinking is a sure-fire way to mess with your digestive track and dehydrate your skin, so my clients give up drinking a couple weeks out from a big show.

5) INCORPORATE REST DAYS

Rest days are KEY. Sometimes my clients are working out 2 hours a day leading up to a big show, but the results really kick in (especially when it comes to getting lean) on rest days. This helps prevent their body from getting inflamed or swollen. For example, my clients will do 3 days on, 1 day off and sometimes take off the day before a casting or show.

6) ACTIV ELY LOOK AT WAYS TO RELIEV E STRESS

When it comes to looking and feeling your best, stress can be the ultimate hurdle. For many of the girls leading up to a show, eliminating stress is a high priority. Stress leads to puffiness in the skin, bloating, and unnecessary weight gain. To reduce stress, my clients try to avoid traveling, if they can, to stay in their everyday routine to ensure they are getting good quality sleep. That means avoiding going out and sticking to strict bedtimes.

7) CREATE MUSCLE DEFINITION

Thigh definition is everything when walking down the runway, so a majority of the girls come to me to create just that. My method, P.volve, provides movements that are the secret sauce to lean, strong legs and that is the main focus in every session. I love to use my heavy and light resistance bands to carve out the outer thigh, inner thigh and hips. I use a series of small, stepping patterns and legs lifts, using a high range of motion, which is the perfect formula to bring out detailed thigh and hip definition. You can check out my online streaming videos and do the same workouts I do with my VS clients at Pvolve.com.

GUERLAIN ABEILLE ROYALE DOUBLE R RENEW & REPAIR SERUM Those in the beauty-know are already buzzing about this potent serum, which harnesses the power of royal jelly and honey sourced from bees on the French island of Ouessant.

With a super-silky feel that absorbs in a flash, just a few drops help soothe, clarify, balance, brighten, detoxify and hydrate the skin—and the boost in radiance is undeniable.

DR. BARBARA STURM BRIGHTENING SERUM Featuring cress sprouts to diminish the appearance of dark spots, ginseng extract for antioxidant protection that helps prevent discoloration from forming and hydrating hyaluronic acid, Dr. Sturm fans have been waiting for this new offering with bated breath.

A valuable addition to your collection of targeted treatment serums (Dr. Sturm or not), pair with the also-new Brightening Cream or Lotion for extra complexion-refining results.

DESIGN 5 Interior Design professionals weigh in on the design trends and tips of 2019.

THE ART OF DESIGNING AN INTERIOR ALLOWS FOR THE SELF-EXPRESSION OF AN INDIVIDUAL

to reflect in their living space. From traditional to contemporary, minimalistic or eclectic, interior design aficionados are able to express who they are through colors, patterns, art and furniture pieces. With 2019 in full swing, we dive into 2019’s interior design comeback trends, the best items to splurge on and more.

THE COMEBACK TREND OF 2019 “Art Deco is back but with a fresh look to it.”

– Natalia Neverko, natalianeverko.com

THE COLORS AND PATTERNS TO LOOK OUT FOR “A lot of brighter colors with an earthy twist. I’m thinking mossy greens, dusty blues, ochre, and of course coral (Pantone said it first.)”

– Brianna Bitton , Bitton Design Group and the designer behind Halsey’s new Los Angeles home, briannabitton.com

BEST ITEM(S) TO SPLURGE ON “Art. Every penny you spend on artwork will always yield a return. It’s one of the best investments you can make toward achieving a truly beautiful and meaningful interior design.”

WHAT WILL BE THE AESTHETIC OF 2019?

“Unapologetic. People are less afraid to decorate with the things that make them happy, to defy traditional design expectations.”

– Susan Rocco, The Kitchenworks, kitchenworks.com

THE NUMBER ONE DESIGN TIP “Listen to your heart, spend time filling the space and sketching around. Don’t make fast decisions, don’t rush it. Everything will come to you if you read and interact with the space. Trust yourself.”

THE SHAPES OF

WATER FENDI presents a gorgeous installation by Sabine Marcelis using one of its most cherished elements: water.

the Maison presented a gorgeous installation called “The Shapes of Water,” designed by Sabine Marcelis. Paying homage to one of FENDI’s most cherished and respected elements—water— Marcelis used water in all of her 10 sculptures, each drawing inspiration from a different FENDI symbol, including the recognizable FF logo, the brand’s headquarters and even its quintessential Peekaboo bag, also celebrating its 10th anniversary.

The Dutch designer uses cast resin and a warm color palette to mirror the Roman skies. I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Marcelis, as she showcased her gorgeous installation at the FENDI booth at this year’s Design Miami/.

Walk me through each of the pieces and explain your thought process behind the installation as a whole.

FENDI approached me to do the installation this year and looking at all the past years, I had first thought that I wasn’t too keen on doing furniture and I always try to do something more different and unexpected. So when I went to the headquarters and toured the ateliers and really got to dive into the history of the brand, this theme of water kept popping up. I was trying to find something unique that would serve as a starting point for the project. Then the first ever fashion movie made was made by FENDI in the ’70s and it’s called L’Histoire D’Eau and it’s about water with the FENDI Fountains Foundation, so I though it’d be amazing to work with water as a material. So I pitched it to them thinking they’d never go for it but they were really excited and open to it, which was super nice. Then together with the FENDI team and Silvia, we sort of started thinking about how to link it to the brand even more, so we identified 10 icons. So we have the logo, which is interpreted twice, the Peekaboo bag, obviously because it’s the 10-year anniversary, and then the “Tegole”…..Also the brand is so linked to Rome, where they have amazing sunsets. That’s actually why I placed that piece there so you can really see the headquarters as a building with the sky behind it.

What does it mean for you, as a young artist, to partner with such an iconic brand on this project, seeing as how it is also its 10-year anniversary with Design Miami/?

It’s a total honor, of course. I think the great thing about it is that for me, it allows me an opportunity to do something that for one, I never would’ve done out of my own free initiative because it’s so linked to the brand. I used to think that if you were working for a brand it’d 58 HAUTE LIVING hauteresidence.com

be a compromise from your own ideas. but in a project like this, it’s a sum of all parts, which just adds to the project. It’s not a compromise, it’s like two worlds coming together to create something new. For me, it was a really super opportunity to try something that I would otherwise not be able to just do on my own.

How, if at all, has social media impacted your art world? Was that part of your thought process at all in your creations?

I realize that Instagram has been quite an important part of why I am able to do what I do. It’s easy now for people to find me if they see me on Instagram. So now there’s a quicker link between the client and the artist than there was before. But I find it problematic that there are museums that are actually made to be “Instagrammable.”

For me it was about creating a space to have an experience and light is extremely important to experience these objects. The reason we put these light boxes in the background is because it’s how we did the photoshoot and that’s how each came to its best abilities. For me it’s purely to present the world in the most optimal, physical way. What I always try to create is for someone to come and look a little bit longer, to take their time and look around each. They’re designed in a threedimensional way because they look a bit different from each angle.

What about the music? Can you tell me about it?

I worked with one of my good friends, a photographer, Carl Kleiner.

We set up all the fountains in my house and for a week he stayed on my couch and we did the photoshoot and the film all within that week.

He created the music with it as well, always knowing it was going to be presented here as part of the whole experience. It’s got a bit of a water-dripping effect but it doesn’t compete with the sound of the actual water from each fountain, it’s more of a calming experience.

Why is cast resin your material of choice?

It’s a material I’ve been working with for quite a long time. The beauty with working with one material for a long time is that in every project you can challenge yourself and the material a bit more. Every project is a new opportunity to go a step further. For me my fascination with this material from the beginning is that you can so readily play with the interaction of light. You can completely manipulate it to have so many different characteristics. Now it has all these reflective qualities because it’s super polished. And another material I work a lot with is glass, which has a lot of the same qualities. You can really play with it and layer it. And it’s also the perfect material to make these complicated shapes.

DESIGN

Where did you draw inspiration from for this particular project?

The idea of using the FENDI icons was the initial thought and then understanding the engineering of how everything works, the objects kind of shaped themselves. I like to work very freely and let the restrictions of an object shape it itself. I also looked at a lot of sculptural works but also machinery, marine objects…a lot of random satellites of inspiration that came together to shape them.

What do you hope that visitors who come to see the exhibit take away from it?

I think it’s just to appreciate subtle moments of beauty, which is also why I thought it was very important to do the video. If you are not here physically, at least online or even now, if you’re not looking at the “right” things, you might actually miss these nice little moments happening. This fair is very busy and very big. I think it’s nice to slow down and zoom in a bit on some subtleties like this as well.

What is your favorite piece here and why?

My opinion is completely biased because my favorite piece is the one that was most difficult! It’s the one with the three boxes stacked on top of each other with the water doing a 270-degree turn. It was very difficult to put together and get it work properly so it’s like the piece that I respect the most. I’m really happy with it. It’s also the piece that I imagine can be scaled up. I would love to create that as a big public installation with a big water feature.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CARL KLEINER

How did you decide to incorporate the water into each piece?

I think it was more a matter of what different effects can be created with water. So it can be disrupted by a pattern or bubbles can go through it.

Some of them were very easy. Like “Selleria,” I thought to use water for the stitching. And the “Roman Sunset” is a large piece, so we can make the water fall down the front. And of course just trying different things.

So for instance, the bubbles in one piece are much bigger than another.

It’s because they have a lot more space to be bigger and faster and with the other, you can see the side is only a few millimeters thick. So when the air gets pushed through, the bubbles get squished flat.

What can we expect from you moving forward, both individually and with FENDI? I know that we’ll be traveling to Hong Kong for the Art Basel there, which is super nice. For me, my aim is always that with every project is a new challenge, a new scale. I hope this will evolve into bigger fountains.

And aside from this project I’m doing a lot more architecturally-scaled things now, which is a different challenge with different things to take into consideration. And for the Salone [del Mobile] in Milan in April it’ll be two big installation as well. I am just upscaling a bit but still more focused on temporary special installations.

INSIDE REAL ESTATE

Three real estate market trends for 2019.

I N T HE LU XU RY R EA L ES TAT E M A R K E T, W H AT ’ S H O T IS constantly changing.

Here, we take a look at three of the industry’s latest trends including cutting-edge high technology infused throughout multi-million-dollar homes and wellness amenities in some of the world’s most stunning vertical residences.

WELLNESS IS THE NEW LUXURY

Major cities like New York, Singapore, Miami, London and Los Angeles are home to some of the most stunning and state-of-the-art residence towers in the world.

As residents around the world embark on their new year resolutions, health and wellness have become the most highly requested amenity features in luxury skyscrapers. Coined as the ‘new luxury,’ developers are taking wellness to the next level by creating like-minded health enthusiast living communities and incorporating immersive wellness amenities and spaces into the stunning sky homes.

VERTICAL LIVING IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH DEMAND

Sky homes are at an all-time high. While single homes are still being in demand across the world, more homebuyers are opting to buy homes in luxurious residence towers across the globe. The shift towards vertical living is a result of two things: major cities are running out of prime luxury land to build on horizontally and sky homes are now offering the latest in cutting-edge technologies, sophisticated design and finishes, resort-like amenities and exceptional service.

THE INFUSION OF HIGH TECHNOLOGY

There is an increase in amenities that seamlessly mix the virtual world and real world for tech-savvy residents. Golf simulators, virtual meditation and gaming are some of the top most requested high-tech amenities. High-tech homes with the latest in cutting-edge technology and security systems, while not a new concept in the market, are continuing to be requested by homebuyers in every major market. In the era of smart phones and the digital world at our finger tips, developers are beginning to come up with new innovative ideas of implementing the latest in smart-home technologies in today’s horizontal and vertical homes.

+SIHH 2019 Day 1 The Sweet Taste of a Thriving Industry

BY MARTIN GREEN

WE HAD SUSPECTED IT FROM THE QUALITY OF THE

pre-releases this year, but all of our doubts were further taken away at the first day of SIHH 2019: The watch industry is thriving. There were many exciting new creations as well as beautiful interpretations of familiar models.

HYT offered stunning varieties of its famous watches with its unique liquid technology. The brand paid even more attention this year than it normally already does to the finishing of its pieces. The result was an expansion of its collection that was more captivating than ever.

IWC focused this year on its collection of Pilot’s Watches.

Celebrating the brand’s rich history with the collection, its booth was turned into an airplane hangar, complete with a real Spitfire. One of the stars of the show was the Pilot’s

76 HAUTE LIVING hautetime.com

Watch Chronograph Top Gun Edition “Mojave Desert” with an eye-catching sand-colored ceramic case. Priced at $8,200, it shows the sensibility and strength that IWC put into its new collection, especially since this model is fitted with an automatic manufacture movement.

Things got really sweet at Richard Mille, literally, since the brand focused on its ladies’ collection with themed fruit and candy. Its creations were a mixture of old-school craftsmanship combined with high-tech materials in the most attractive colors available. Each piece is crafted with an incredible eye for detail and embodies the fun element without taking away from the fact that they are truly Haute Horlogerie creations. It is further proof that the industry in general, and Richard Mille especially, are thriving.

Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Complete Calendar

+SIHH 2019 Day 2 To the Moon and Back

BY MARTIN GREEN

DAY ONE OF SIHH DISPLAYED THE BALANCED ADDITIONS

Hermès Arceau L’Heure De La Lune

of the IWC Pilot collection, the super-sweet Richard Milles and HYT showing its prowess once again. On the second day, things continued at a very high level.

Vacheron Constantin dazzled this year with the complex and refined Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar, but it also expanded its current collection with a wide range of blue dial varieties. The beauty of them is that each hue is tailored to the watch that they are fitted in. With the FiftySix, this gives the watch another dimension, while Vacheron Constantin also used a blue dial to introduce the very first tourbillon in the steel Overseas. This was not the only news regarding this collection―the Perpetual Calendar is now also available with a pink gold bracelet, making it even more precious than it already was.

With a name like Arceau L’Heure De La Lune, a watch has to be beautiful, and this Hermès timepiece does not disappoint.

The brand once again shows that beauty and technical complexity can go hand in hand. The dial shows two realistic and large moons, over which two subdials travel. These subdials indicate both the time as well as the date while at the same time doing their part in displaying the current moon phase in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. There are two choices in dials: aventurine with white subdials or meteorite with black subdials, both equally stunning yet with subtle differences in character.

Ulysse Nardin also had something big in store, or actually, something smaller. With the new Freak X, one of its signature models shrank from 45 mm to 43 mm. Thanks to a revised movement, it now features a crown. This makes the watch more accessible in every way, since these changes result in the titanium model being available now for U.S. $21,000. The watch is also offered in a newly designed case in carbonium and rose gold. These changes allow a whole new customer group to enjoy one of Ulysse Nardin’s landmark pieces. It was the perfect ending of our second day at SIHH 2019.

Passion is What Drives the Industry

Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpagraphe Chronomètre Titanium

BY MARTIN GREEN

FROM EVERY ASPECT, THE MECHANICAL WATCH IS AN

obsolete instrument, yet we continue to have a love affair with it. It is, therefore, a passion that drives the industry, and that is also clear when you look at many of the exhibitors’ creations at SIHH. Due to that passion, they went above and beyond to create movements, complications, finishes and decorations that were not possible before, continuing a tradition that is almost forgotten.

This passion becomes especially clear when looking at the creations of Bovet. The Tourbillon Amadeo Fleurier Virtuoso IX not only combines some of the most exquisite complications, but it also unites them in a stunning way. It almost seems like this watch is sculpted and not crafted. The beautiful dial forms a backdrop to a double time zone, big date and flying tourbillon, while Bovet was able to give the movement that makes it all possible with a 10-day power reserve.

Parmigiani Fleurier is another brand that shares the same passion. With the Kalpagraphe Chronomètre Titanium, it adds another sportive watch to its collection and the very first one in a Kalpa case. The brand paid a lot of attention to

detail, which resulted in a rich and legible watch with a lot of character.

The Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel is truly a showcase of the capabilities of Jaeger-LeCoultre. It features a stunning petrol blue enamel dial, while the dial is perfectly balanced with the date in a subdial at 12 o’clock and the tourbillon placed at 6. At the back, we find a beautiful gold rotor that is visible through the see-through caseback of the watch. This also allows you to admire the fine finish of the different components.

Passion also fuels the creativity at Urwerk. This becomes especially clear when you look at the UR-105 CT Maverick.

Like this model, many of the brand’s watches feature the satellite disk time indication, but the case is now crafted from bronze, which gives it a completely new look. Urwerk also reworked the decorations, giving this watch a distinct character of its own. The brand has also announced that this will be the last version of the UR-105 that it will launch, so we can expect a new model replacing it soon.

A World of Wonders Comes to an End Panerai Submersible Mike Horn Edition

WITH THE FOURTH DAY, THE SIHH WAS SLOWLY WINDING

down, but it went out with a bang. It was the only day that the fair was open to the public, who joined journalists and retailers from around the world to admire all of the marvelous watches.

For us, we were delighted by what we got to see.

Montblanc is expanding its 1858 collection with a few new models, including the 1858 Geosphere Limited Edition. This watch, of which Montblanc will only make 1858 pieces, features a bronze case and bezel combined with a handsome green dial. While the features haven’t changed, it is a very welcomed edition and shows that this model continues to captivate attention. While it has a lot to offer, the case is only 42 mm in diameter and 12.8 mm thick, making it very wearable. It is also perfect timepiece for an explorer because it has a water resistance of 100 meters.

Cartier started off very strong this year. It introduced numerous new models, including the Tonneau Skeleton Dual Time. This handsome watch displays two time zones with only one movement. Thanks to two crowns, each time zone can be set easily. The case is slightly curved, which ensures a perfect fit on the wrist. While the watch itself is among the first that Cartier ever made, dating back to over a century ago, with this movement it looks quite modern without taking it too far.

For Panerai, SIHH 2019 was all about the Submersible.

This model now has its own collection within the Panerai family, and many new models joined the lineup. Among them is a limited edition that was created in collaboration with its ambassador, Mike Horn, who is dedicated to preserving nature’s beauty on Earth. The result is a case made out of recycled titanium, and the strap is made of recycled materials.

In addition, Panerai now offers certain limited editions with an experience. For example, the first 19 people who buy this Submersible will join Mike Horn on an expedition.

This edition of SIHH was also the last one in its current form, since Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille will not attend the fair next year. In 2020, it will also take place later in the year.

+Hublot Gives a Very Tasty Appetizer for Baselworld Proof that its passion for innovation is far from fading

Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 days Red Sapphire

Hublot Big Bang Unico Golf Blue Carbon

FOR HUBLOT, BASELWORLD IS ITS MAIN SHOW, BUT THAT

doesn’t stop the brand from already giving a little appetizer in January. As a serial innovator, Hublot thrives on pushing the envelope and introducing new novelties, so don’t be surprised if there are some very serious novelties unveiled soon.

The first one is commercially important since Hublot is expanding its Big Bang collection with additional 42 mm models. These versions offer white details, in either titanium or King gold, and are available with different diamond settings. It’s another tour de force by Hublot, since titanium is a challenging material to set stones in.

Another novelty is the Big Bang Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 days, which is now available in red sapphire. This gives the watch a completely different look because the bridges and main plate are crafted from this material. Complemented by a rubber strap in the same color, it turns the watch into a true technical eye-catcher. Hublot is the only brand capable of creating a sapphire crystal-cased watch in this color.

84 HAUTE LIVING hautetime.com

The new Big Bang Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 days isn’t the only Hublot watch available in sapphire: It is also in yellow. Highlighted by the tonneau case of the Spirit of Big Bang, it has an undeniable summer vibe to it. Hublot amplifies the vibe even further by giving the watch yellow hands and markers on the dial, as well as a matching rubber strap. By opting for a black crown, the pushers and screws on the bezel are united visibly with the movement to create a very harmonious piece in which the yellow sapphire shines.

Hublot also introduced a new version of the Big Bang Unico Golf. It now features a case made from blue Texalium. This ultralight and very strong material is proprietary to Hublot, along with a mixture of carbon fiber with aluminum. Combined with a blue strap, it gives the timepiece a new look.

With these new watches, Hublot kicks off the new year once again with a full and innovative force. Those familiar with the brand also know that this is only a mere promise of things to come in 2019.

Zenith Defy El Primero 21

A Special Celebration for an Icon Turning 50

BY MARTIN GREEN

WHEN THE ZENITH EL PRIMERO HIT THE MARKET 50 YEARS AGO IT

immediately gained the status of being a benchmark. This was not only because it was the first automatic chronograph, but it also combined an integrated column wheel and a high frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour.

This made it possible for the watch to measure time with an accuracy of 1/10th of a second.

Over the years, the movement has powered not only Zeniths―it was adopted

by Rolex for its famed Daytona. However, this hasn’t stopped Zenith for improving it, and a wide variety of complications have been integrated during its illustrious career, with perhaps the most important one being the creation of the caliber El Primero 9004. Thanks to a double escapement, the movement runs at 36,000 vibrations, yet the chronograph at 360,000 vibrations. This makes it possible to measure time up to 1/100th of a second.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the El Primero, Zenith has created a special box that can hold four watches. The top part is shaped like a miniature watchmaker’s bench and comes complete with a die of the coupling-wheel bridge of the chronograph. Buyers are invited to visit the Zenith manufacture and use it to stamp two coupling-wheel bridges. One will become part of their box set, while the other one will be engraved with the name of the buyer and become part of Zenith’s historical archives.

In addition, the box contains three Zenith El Primeros, starting with the A386 Revival, which was made to honor the first of this iconic chronograph from 1969.

There is also the Chronomaster 2 El Primero, which features a newly designed movement, as well as a modern-design interpretation of the original model.

The third watch in the box, the Defy El Primero 21, is the amazing 1/100th of a second version of the El Primero. The fourth spot for a watch is empty, but it is reserved for a new El Primero that is currently under development, which will be able to measure 1/1,000th of a second. All of the 50 owners of this limitededition anniversary box will have the option to be the first to purchase this watch when it is released. This shows that while the El Primero has five decades of history behind it, the legend is still moving forward.

+Elite Mobility Haute Living’s Exclusive Look at How a Bombardier Comes Together

BY DELLVIN ROSHON WILLIAMS

BOMBARDIER BUSINESS AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURES THE

world’s most luxurious business jets that have the largest, longest range. We know that. As a premium brand, it boasts the best product portfolio and the largest backlog in business aviation to date. We also know that. Here’s what we don’t know: how a Bombardier aircraft actually comes together. With the flagship Global 7500’s first 2018 delivery and entry-into-service firmly in the books, Haute Living takes a look at what it means to literally create world-class flight experiences out of proverbial thin air.

Perhaps the secret to its success lies in a process that— until now, few have been aware of: For the Ultra-high-networth (UHNW), a Bombardier must be an extension of their personality. It masterfully weaves comfort, connectivity, innovation and expert engineering into a seamless, ultra-longrange experience. Bombardier Business Aircraft’s Industrial Design Manager Tim Fagan explains, “The specification process for personalizing a Bombardier business aircraft to completion typically takes place over several meetings.” First, the Bombardier Business Aircraft team focuses primarily on gathering information about the customer: their plans for the aircraft, frequent missions, city pairings and how many passengers would typically be aboard.

“This helps guide the overall layout of the aircraft cabin, including the number and location of seats, sofas, entertainment suites, monitors, entertainment equipment and possibly communications antennas for cabin connectivity and other optional features,” Fagan adds. “The aircraft team also proposes variations that might meet customer requirements, including bespoke features. So, these requests can also be discussed.”

At this stage, the aircraft team also discusses color and material preference with the client to help guide interior design vis-à-vis personal tastes. From exotic leathers and woods, to carpets and metal finishes, the designer builds various material boards that are refined throughout the process. From here, a digital “first impression” of the future aircraft emerges.

Fagan continues, “From this, the engineering team in Montreal develops a formal proposal of both the technical elements of the aircraft as well as photorealistic renderings of the design proposals. Depending on customer availability, the requirements of the design proposal and the timeline of custom material samples, multiple meetings may lead to the final aircraft configuration. And a final aircraft definition, including technical specification, visuals and material samples is presented to the customer for approval.”

LIST

As for the importance of the process, there’s a saying: ‘‘People don’t buy products; they buy meaning.’’ Fagan’s insights shed enormous light on what a Bombardier design scenario is all about. For example, the progressive development of a Global 7500 aircraft cabin from a blank sheet (with seating for up to 19 passengers) allows, on one hand, the aircraft owner to envision the aircraft and express him or herself through the poetics of product design while soaking up unparalleled access to the brand—which is what luxury is all about.

On the other hand, brand-customer collaboration takes us beyond features and functions, and deeper into the dynamics between buyer motivations and the complementary technological and design-driven push for innovation.

In addition, there is Bombardier’s Nuage seat, the first new seat design in business aviation in 30 years. “Seating ranks as the single-most important factor in passenger well-being on longer flights,’’ Fagan says. ‘’Unlike other aircraft seats, where only the back pivots and pushes the body forward, Nuage dips the seat as the back is reclined. This fully cradles the body and ensures optimal comfort.’’

What emerges is a spectacularly innovative approach to the business jet experience. Bombardier has focused on a process that is as holistic as it is design-driven. From distinct living areas, cabin management systems, OLED displays and extra-large windows for optimized natural light, the buyer is empowered to create an exceptionally spacious home in the sky. What’s more, the Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft families allow customers to grow her or his experience within the Bombardier Business Aircraft family. And if current trends are any indication, then we’ve only scratched the surface of what next-generation business jets can become.

+Quantum Leap Turquoise Yachts Introduces New 77m Superyacht Concept

BY DELLVIN ROSHON WILLIAMS

92 HAUTE LIVING hauteyachts.com

builder Turquoise Yachts, formerly known as Proteksan Turquoise—the same shipyard that produced last year’s 77m M/Y GO from world-famous Ken Freivokh (of Maltese Falcon and Black Pearl fame)―introduces the shipyard’s most dramatic design to date, the 77m concept Quantum.

As contemporary as it is luxurious, Quantum’s standout feature is its drive-in tender bay that doubles as a saltwater pool within a beach club, allowing guests direct sea access. The 7m fresh-water pool on the main deck, strategically positioned over the float-in lower deck pool, was designed with a hexagonalshaped glass grid, allowing sunlight to shine directly onto the beach club below.

Drive-in tender garage aside, there is a starboard garage amidships that can house a large limousine tender, a 10-meter beach-landing tender and space for either a 6m watersports tender or a selection of Jet Skis. The lower deck beach club and gymnasium also have opening terraces port and starboard, as well as aft, and are accessible internally from the main saloon as well as externally via the stern platform. Lesson: Quantum opens on three sides, giving unfettered access to the sea.

On the main deck, a saloon offers vast open space with a rotating seating group that can be arranged as a cinema. The formal dining room forward is capable of hosting a banquet for

Haute all 14 guests—who, by the way, have optimal living quarters on the main deck in six double or twin staterooms.

The pièce de résistance of the yacht is a central atrium spanning three decks, where transparent floor sections add to the feeling of total integration between decks and provides access to a central lift, which serves four decks. Two of the staterooms can be totally opened to the spacious, adjoining VIP suite, each with a private saloon and access to his and hers bathrooms.

Owners have exclusive accommodations that include a semicircular family saloon on the upper deck that opens out into a panoramic terrace overlooking the pool area, as well as the sea.

There is also a pantry, nanny’s cabin and a private office with direct access to the atrium, a balcony, a master stateroom with stunning 180-degree panoramic views: forward, on the sides, and a private Jacuzzi adjoining the wide touch-and-go helipad.

Quantum’s profile is what makes the yacht both powerful and practical; her physics and physicality, fluid. The slightly flared bow and swoop of the hull give a certain air of sporty timelessness. Quantum is named so because she is a “quantum leap” ahead of any other yacht delivered by Turquoise Yachts. By the looks of its 2013 50.4m M/Y Ileria, 2012 47m 7 M/Y Vicky or its 2012 33m sailing yacht Simba, Quantum will not only live up to its name, but take the yachting world by storm in the process.

This year, the focus is on renowned brands Jaguar, Aston Martin, Porsche and Rolls-Royce releasing their first hybrids and SUVs. We compiled a list of the top impressive supercars set to rule the roads this year.

PHOTO COURTESY OF JAGUAR NORTH AMERICA

JAGUAR I-PACE This year seems to be the year for electric SUVs, first with the Audi e-tron and now Jaguars’ I-PACE, the first pure-electric model to come out of the British luxury brand.

With two-electric motors, the Jaguar I-PACE combines impressive handling with a 234mile range, all-wheel drive and an interior design that reimagines classic Jaguar luxury craftsmanship. An impressive 0-80% charge in 85 minutes and acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds is ambitious for a car of this caliber with only 394 horsepower. The hood scoop and flowing waistline allow the car to slice through the air, while the rear diffuser minimizes drag for optimized range and stability. Equipped with everything you need for everyday life, from generous cargo space to the activity feature, a waterproof wristband that unlocks and locks the car—no need to carry keys when on the run anymore—the I-PACE is a true drivers’ car. Starting at $70,000, this eco-friendly head-turner is capable of handling any task you throw at it.

BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT CONVERTIBLE The king of grand tourers, Bentley, blew the roof off its Continental GT to create a hand-crafted masterpiece that is longer, sleeker and sexier than ever. The 6.0 liter Bentley Continental GT Convertible epitomizes the spirit of grand touring with a fabric roof that lowers in 19 seconds flat while traveling at speeds of up to 30 mph. The 8-speed dual clutch transmission makes for smooth, fast gear changes, while the 12-cylinder engine delivers a perfect fusion of power and refinement, capable of accelerating 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds flat. To ensure every journey is a joy, Bentley incorporated a new range of driving technology including active all-wheel drive and driver assistance as well as a wealth of enhanced intuitive digital features including a rotating display and driving modes, which allow you to adjust the car’s performance to suit your journey, with a simple, smooth turn of a dial. At a starting price of $236,100, the new Bentley Continental GT Convertible is the luxury and comfort you seek with all the power you need in a grand tourer.

LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR SVJ COUPÉ While the future of automobiles is unknown, Lamborghini continues to combine cutting-edge technology and superior design to create sports cars that deliver a driving experience like no other. The new Aventador SVJ Coupé is no exception. Fresh off the Nürburgring circuit, which saw a top speed of 6:44, the SVJ is turning heads both on and off the track. Ultra-lightweight materials give rise to enhanced aerodynamic profiles, while the technological look of carbon fiber—featured in the cockpit, doors, seats and console—combined with leather upholstery add a bold touch to the luxurious interior. Its 6.5 liter V12 churns out an impressive 770 horsepower, and with peak torque of 720 Nm, the SVJ is capable of a sprint from standstill to 62 mph in a mere 2.8 seconds, making it one of the most powerful road cars of all time. Costing around $517,770 and only 900 planned to be built (63 of which will become part of a special edition commemorating Lamborghini’s founding year, 1963), this incomparable machine breaks new dimensions, pushing supercars into the future.

AUDI E-TRON Having made its way to U.S. soil in September 2018, the Audi e-tron is already widely popular for its long-range capability and exhilarating performance with the quattro all-wheel drive. As the company’s first full-production modern electric vehicle, the e-tron adopts everything we love in an Audi, from sleek lines to sculptural LED taillights, but with the added bonus of being ecofriendly and fit for everyday life. The spacious interior has room for up to five passengers as well as generous cargo space and folding seats all packaged in a luxurious interior, complete with cutting-edge technology for an intuitive driving experience. A low center of gravity and torque output from two electric motors positioned on each axle distributes power efficiently for a smooth drive with a top track speed of 124 mph. Starting at $74,800, the e-tron is the first of three battery-electric vehicles Audi plans to debut by 2020.

ROLLS-ROYCE CULLINAN In the trend of moving to larger cars, who knew a Rolls-Royce could get any bigger? The Cullinan is extraterrestrial in size and ability as the first allterrain SUV from Rolls-Royce to make luxury off-road travel a reality with a push of a button. A 6.75-liter V12 engine produces 571 horsepower to propel this beast through any terrain, while a self-leveling air suspension proactively adjusts acceleration, steering cues and uses camera intelligence to ensure a Rolls-Royce quality ride. Speaking of Rolls-Royce quality, the Cullinan makes no sacrifices in the luxury department, with a viewing suite in the back that introduces two leather seats and a cocktail table at the press of a button. For passengers, a center console drinks cabinet will keep them satisfied, while the versatile raised and electronic seating offers the best views. In an age where technology rules, the Cullinan features touch-screen theater and picnic tables that fold out and wireless charging to keep you connected everywhere you go. Venture beyond your comfort zone, in ironically uncompromised comfort in the $325,000 (base price) Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

BMW M850I XDRIVE COUPE Featuring the latest M sport technology, the BMW M850i xDrive Coupe is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine belching out 523 horsepower and 553 pound-per-feet of torque, connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s safe to say BMW knows how to integrate the perfect combination of heritage and bold new experiences to create an icon of design and engineering. Inside, command, comfort and control are effortless with BMW’s new iDrive 7.0 system, allowing you to control by touch, voice or gesture all from the comfort of a multifunctional, heated leather seat. Outside, the signature kidney grille and advanced adaptive LED headlights paired with bold, sleek lines make for an aggressive look deserving of a sports car. Standard integral active steering, adaptive M suspension, and an M sport differential keep the coupe in sync with every move, while standard fixed-caliper M sport brakes ensure a smooth stop. At $111,900, the M850i xDrive Coupe is a true sportsman’s choice for style and performance.

PORSCHE TAYCAN Formerly known as Mission E, Porsche has finally announced the name of its first purely electric car as the Taycan. Translated as “lively young horse,” this four-door sports car is set to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds flat thanks to two permanently synchronous motors belching out 600 horsepower. Widely being called the Porsche of tomorrow, the Taycan is expected to have a range of 300 miles and a charging time of 80% in less than 15 minutes. In terms of build, the sedan adopts a slimline design with a classic flat hood and rear light strip. Inside, the cockpit feels more like a spaceship, with the absence of a transmission tunnel and the addition of a curved intuitive driver display that moves with you is just something to look forward to in the future. You will have to wait until its unveiling later this year to get an idea of a price tag and additional features.

ASTON MARTIN DBX No list is complete without including Aston Martin’s DBX, especially since this is the luxury brand’s first attempt at cashing in on the SUV market, long ruled by the Land Rover. Since its concept debut at the 2015 Geneva motor show, the DBX is generating buzz for its durability as it undergoes testing in the world’s harshest environments, from the frozen Arctic to scorching deserts in the Middle East, and of course the Nürburgring circuit. The DBX will feature a choice of two engines, a 4.0 liter V8 and a 5.2 liter V12, with rumors it plans to go hybrid at a later date. The DBX, which may get a new name, is set to be unveiled in the last quarter of 2019, and there’s no word on price just yet, but we can only assume that as an Aston Martin, it will be worth it. @hauteauto HAUTE LIVING 99

HOLISTIC Haute Living sits down with co-founders of natural kids’ wellness line called Gryph & IvyRose—supermodel Karolina Kurkova and entrepreneur Rachel Finger.

BY DEYVANSHI MASRANI

NEEDLESS TO SAY, BECOMING A PARENT IS A LIFE-CHANGING

experience. Co-founders of brand new, natural and herbal-based wellness product company for children called Gryph & IvyRose, supermodel Karolina Kurkova and Rachel Finger, witnessed this first-hand when they became mothers themselves. What they also uncovered, however, is that they were unable to find a natural product line that they felt really benefitted their children’s overall wellness and health, whilst also being more contemporary and luxurious. That’s when their venture, Gryph & IvyRose was born. Haute Living had the opportunity to sit down with the duo of supermoms to discuss the company, its background, what it provides and what we can expect from them in the future.

How did parenthood affect your desire to create this company/ product line?

RF: In absolutely every way. Alternative wellness wasn’t necessarily even on my radar until I had my twins nearly three months early.

They had some delays common to prematurity but I thought that there must be better and safer ways to deal with the issues we were having at the time and sought out acupuncture and herbs for the girls. After seeing incredible results in just a week, I knew that I wanted to create something to share with other parents and children and being able to partner with experts like Orion [Nevel] (the team’s co-founder/in-house herbalist), Dan [Atchison-Nevel] (the team’s in-house acupuncturist) and Stephen [Cowen] (the team’s in-house pediatrician) made it a no-brainer.

Tell us a little bit about Gryph & IvyRose.

Gryph & IvyRose was developed by parents who experienced life-changing results with herbal applications. We created a comprehensive and preventative wellness regimen for children that focused on supporting the immune function, both inside and out.

Our proprietary herbal blends include functional ingredients that have been used over thousands of years, but with a twist to meet the demands of our modern children. The bath and body products focus on supporting the skin’s natural biome, the probiotics on the gut biome and our elixirs address specific challenges like sleep, mood, digestion and overall immune support.

KK: For me it was really my upbringing that influenced my desire to create a company like Gryph & IvyRose. I grew up in the Czech Republic surrounded by nature and beautiful ingredients from my grandmother’s garden. That is where I learned to appreciate the importance of quality ingredients. I then integrated those values into my boys’ wellness regimens and wanted to help create a way for other families to include quality ingredients that deliver wellness into their routines.

Who is Gryph & IvyRose for?

It is formulated specifically for children, so it’s for any and all that want to create healthy rituals early on in life. But the products are really effective and are a great tool for parents too, who need an immune boost, sleep or digestive support.

Why do you think it is important for us to adopt more natural and holistic everyday practices and get our children involved at an early age?

RF: I love the way that our pediatrician describes this necessity. He notes that while western medicine and science are incredible and often life-saving tools, it’s not a good option for daily health maintenance and non-emergency situations. We want to create lifelong tools for parents and for children to address different situations and introducing them early and teaching them about the effectiveness of natural ingredients gives them an open mind about using these safe, non-harmful tools throughout their lives.

KK: I think it is important to empower and educate children so that they do not lose their touch with nature and ancient practices, especially insect a fast-paced world. To create a sense of harmony in your child’s routine is a great way to set them up for a lifetime of well-being.

Tell me a bit more about who is behind the company and why each decided to come on board.

RF: Orion, his father Dan (the acupuncturist) and Stephen (the pediatrician) have been connected and collaborating in their respective professions for decades. They are equally passionate and pioneers in their fields. Being able to spread education and create products to help parents and children has always been a dream of theirs. When I met them and saw the results with my children personally, I was so inspired and motivated to help share this message. Karolina and I were friends and she had also come to meet Dan and Orion and having always been exposed to natural and alternative methods, was already practicing a lot of these traditions with her boys. It’s a really dynamic and well-rounded team and I am so grateful and humbled to be a part of it.

What are some of your favorite products that you offer?

RF: My favorites are the “Call it a Night Sleep” elixir and the “Belly Works” elixir because of the personal successes I have had with my children, but I also love the “Daily Embrace” shampoo because it’s a convenient two-in-one and the performance is amazing.

KK: I am a big fan of the chocolate hearts because they are my 4 p.m. chocolate fix but with benefits! Noah definitely loves the probiotics, both vanilla and chocolate, and he asks for them like candy. Tobin’s favorite is the “Call it a Night Sleep” elixir and even gives it to himself before bed as part of his nighttime routine.

What can we expect from the brand, moving forward?

We are committed to producing safe, high quality and performance-based products that address common challenges in a natural way. I’m really excited about some of the launches we have coming up this year like focus elixirs and an eczema balm. Eventually, maybe the line will expand to include adults more specifically, but our focus for now is children. @totliving HAUTE LIVING 109

CAIRO, EGYPT Although Egyptian travel hasn’t always been a go-to tourism

destination in the past due to its political instability, that’s going

to change this year in a big way thanks to the much-buzzed-about opening of Cairo’s Grand Egyptian Museum. GEM as it’s best

known is a $1 billion marble shrine to the country’s history that

will display—among other treasures—King Tutankhamun’s entire

5,000-piece burial collection, including his jewel-encrusted sandals and a 3,300-year-old chariot. Stay at the St. Regis Cairo, which will finally interject some buzz into Cairo’s vintage hotel scene when it opens this February on the Nile. Opulence is everywhere on

the 36-story property, such as in its hand-crafted mother-of-pearl

inlaid nightstands, sumptuous signature beds topped by exquisite Egyptian linens, bathrooms clad in light Emperador marble and a dramatic Swarovski chandelier dangling from a three-story

vaulted ceiling in the Astor Grand Ballroom. Bespoke experiences await in no less than seven food and beverage outlets, while

the two-story Iridium Spa with its vitality pools, ice rooms and adventure showers, almost demand relaxation. The traditional

St. Regis Butler Service—the gold standard among worldwide St. Regis hotels—remains the ultimate luxury experience.

MATERA, ITALY Forget Florence, the Amalfi Coast or even Rome: This year, Matera is going to be the most

buzz-worthy destination in Italy thanks to its recent accolade as the 2019 European Capital of Culture. This Southern Italian city’s pleasures aren’t as immediately as obvious as those of the aforementioned locales, though travelers looking for a unique, immersive stay will love this little city that’s built into the rock of a ravine. Matera is known for its sassi, or

cave dwellings, which had been written off as uninhabitable until savvy hoteliers began

transforming them into luxury properties. If you missed the Culture celebratory festivities in January at this UNESCO World Heritage site—which included 2,000 musicians and

dozens of brass bands performing through the city’s candlelit streets—you’ll have time to book a reservation at Palazzo Gattini, a former 17th century home modeled after

Rupestrian churches that oozes Old-World elegance. The old and the new live in perfect

harmony at Palazzo Gattini: A wide staircase encircles a glass lift, while a fully modern spa that resembles a Roman bath of the past resides in one of the cavernous spaces Matera will quickly become known for by all.

The Turkish Riviera is this year’s answer to the French Riviera for the discerning traveler.

THE TURKISH RIVIERA has seen a flurry of upscale activity in recent years, with rapid-fire openings from some of the world’s top-tier tourism brands, including Mandarin Oriental, Aman and Nikki Beach. The latest kid on the block to join the glam pack is Bodrum EDITION, which reopens for the season in May on the Aegean Sea within the Yalikavak Bay. Ian Schrager’s haute spot features a 330-

foot white beach made from local marble that’s been transformed into sand; a spa with a Turkish hammam (naturally); two restaurants from pioneering Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz, formerly of the world’s most celebrated restaurants El Bulli and

Mugaritz; 102 guest rooms, suites and villas, some of which include private pools, balconies or gardens; and an exclusive beach club with a jetty that houses private cabanas. Take your time exploring Bodrum in style (it is known to be one of the seven

wonders of the ancient world, after all), but make sure not to miss out on the relatively unspoiled wonders of beach towns like Datça, Kaş and Çıralı—because at the rate the Riviera is developing, they won’t be staying unspoiled for long.

It’s been over a year since Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria devastated the Caribbean in rapid succession, and in that time, there’s been a flurry of rehabilitation on many of the islands, including—most prominently—in St. Barth. The island’s five-star properties have been revamped so extensively that they’re like new again, but better. Hôtel Le Toiny reopened in October with eight new, stellar private suites, while the LVMH-owned Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France finally remerged in December with a new design by Jacques Grange, as well as 19 new rooms and suites and a tropical garden courtesy of world-renowned landscaper Madison Cox, adding a little je ne sais quoi to already existing luxuries in the Guerlain-specific spa La Case de l’Isle and the White Bar eateries, and the personalized Art de Recevoir service.

As for the island’s OG—the Eden Rock St. Barth—this haute hotel owned

by Pippa Middleton’s in-laws isn’t anticipated to reopen until November 2019, but when it does, expect extensive fanfare.

the more-is-more mindset are a slew of luxury hotels, including The Standard and InterContinental, which join several new culinary events and music festivals in the area this year. Bangkok is also seeing a rise in

tennis and basketball courts, boats, an observatory, a hammam, sauna and a mirador, among other things. And while Nukutepipi is the newest game in town, Tahiti is still home to one of the world’s most famous celebrity retreats in The Brando, a private-

Go for the Highland Games, which run every weekend from May through September, and if you have time, take a day to visit the V&A Dundee, which—though it’s south of the Highlands—is worth the trip.

Palm Island is back on the market, listed at $15.5 million with Brown Harris Stevens Miami.

Most recently home to Cash Money Record-label Co-founder/Rapper Bryan “Birdman” Williams, previous owners also included Rockstar Energy Drink Founder & Billionaire Russell Weiner and acclaimed hip-hop producer, Scott Storch.

Brown Harris Stevens Miami realtor Jeff Miller and Darren Weiner of Celebrity Advisors have co-listed the property. Miller is known for achieving several high profile record deals, including the 2015 sale of a $60 million penthouse at Faena House.

Notably, this 19,970 square foot home situated on a 30,000 square foot lot with 100 linear feet of waterfront is one of the largest residences currently on the market in Miami Beach.

Due to the location, legacy, size, price and unique features, Brown Harris Stevens Miami is confident the property will trade quickly.

“This residence is truly a rare find in Miami Beach,” says Brown Harris Stevens Miami listing agent Jeff Miller. Palm Island is one of the most desirable places in Miami Beach to own a home and this property is the perfect opportunity for anyone a seeking a luxurious waterfront estate.”

Built in 2004, the property underwent a multi-million dollar renovation by Birdman in 2011 that included combining three bedrooms into a 3,500 square foot Master Suite. In total the residence includes 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, 4 half baths and two private guest suites.

One of the suites was used as a recording studio by Cash Money Records artists.

Other property highlights include a beach volley-ball court, stunning pool and summer kitchen equipped with a pizza oven, two separate garages for up to four cars, two wine cellars, movie theater and chef’s kitchen. Most importantly are the unparalleled views of Miami Beach, downtown and surrounding areas.

+Bombay Bound Gramercy opens its doors to GupShup, an Indian restaurant marrying Old World tradition and New World modernism.

BY DEYVANSHI MASRANI

RESTAURANTEUR JIMMY RIZVI HAS BROUGHT A NEW PALETTE OF

Indian flavors to New York’s Gramercy neighborhood with his latest venture called GupShup. The Bombay-inspired cuisine brings together all the spices that Indian food is known for in the gorgeous, bi-level space, with walls touting art by talented South Asian artists from India and the U.S., along with custom contemporary art installations.

Other noteworthy design elements include a stunning 30-foot chandelier, black-and-white tiled flooring, custom wooden furniture, a hand-painted mural depicting a Mumbai scene with Hindi expressions by artist Karishma Naran, another mural with a striking tiger and an antique 1.5-ton door that was brought to the restaurant from a mansion in India. The space was designed by Rizvi himself, along with Delhi-based company This Is It Designs and New-York based branding company Kern + Lead.

With Executive Chef Gurpreet Singh, brought in from India, at the helm of the restaurant, the menu promises a delectable and exciting selection of traditional and modernized Indian foods.

So if you’re ready to venture to parts semi-unknown, head on over to GupShup, located at 115 E 18th St, New York.

Q&A WITH JIMMY RIZVI Tell me about the gorgeous space.

It took us a while with nailing down the space with almost two years of looking around in the city to find somewhere to our liking. Once finalized, we had a team of people, including one of India’s biggest designers (This Is It Designs), and three branding agencies (two from Bombay and one from NYC) and several artists from India and the US to work with us on installations and murals—the tiffin wall, Tiger, and Ayesha on Marine Drive.

The design required us to open up the space between the two floors to create the energy and ambience that it required. GupShup (Bombay House) is a throwback to the 1970’s Bombay era of a fictional Indian family living in NYC, their belongings, furniture etc. and how the space transforms in a modern Indian restaurant by all of the talented artists coming together.

What inspired you to open an Indian restaurant?

I have traveled frequently to India, Dubai and the U.K. and saw an opportunity to open a modern-Indian restaurant and cocktail bar that was a new and exciting concept for NYC and for the U.S. I wanted to bring a place that has that 1970’s Bombay opulence and an art deco theme, where I would like to take my friends for food and drinks; a space that is high energy and loud, but not clubby or lounge-ish. I felt that London had more beautiful, trendy modern-Indian restaurants than NYC and I wanted to fill that void.

What makes GupShup so special?

GupShup has always been close to my heart. It took me two-to-three years to conceive the name/brand, trademark it and come up with a lot of inspiration throughout my travels and eating at numerous places around the world. I have opened two Mediterranean/seafood restaurants in NYC before, but my heart was set on opening a modern-Indian restaurant and cocktail bar in the

Haute

CUISINE

heart of Manhattan. Despite plenty of folks suggesting I should not open an Indian concept restaurant, I went ahead with my plans and the rest, as “they” say, is history—at least in terms of the response we have gotten in the two months since opening.

What do you want American diners to know about Indian cuisine?

Indian cuisine is very diverse and regional depending on where you are eating in India.

It’s not just curries or spicy food that some might think. The spices used in preparation of different dishes offer a lot of health benefits. It also is the most intense and labor oriented in terms of preparation. I personally feel Indian cuisine is slowly getting its due credit and within the next few years will be even more popular, especially seeing how well Korean, Thai and other ethnic foods have done in America in the recent years.

Q&A WITH EXECUTIVE CHEF GURPREET What can diners look forward to when they come to eat at GupShup?

The food at GupShup is all about taste, flavor, innovation and happiness. The idea is to globalize Indian food by giving new life to traditional recipes that cater to an American audience.

Is the food authentic Indian or is it more fusion-style?

Indian food is always flavorful. The food at GupShup is focused more on textures, presentation, pairing, creativity and experimentation, while still keeping the authentic flavors intact. A few of our dishes are inspired by Indian street foods (Bombay Bhel, Puchkas) and some come from the royal dynasties (Nizams Haleem, Biryani).

What are some must-have dishes on the menu?

Our Braised Lamb Rack Biryani is the most popular dish on the menu, being inspired from the Indian coastal dishes. The tomato rasam ramen is a hot seller. Himalayan morels is also a popular dish with subtle and delicate flavors.

What do you want American diners to know about Indian cuisine?

American diners love to experiment which makes a chef’s job very exciting. Indian cuisine goes beyond Chicken Tikka Masala, Naan bread and Samosas and that is what dining at GupShup is all about. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 125

It’s All Coming Together INTERSECT BY LEXUS has opened its third global location—in New York City’s Meatpacking District.

next level, INTERSECT BY LEXUS has opened in the heart of New York City’s Meatpacking District. The third global location for the lifestyle hub (the first two being in Tokyo and in Dubai), a real, culturally oriented space has been created, combining the worlds of design and of food and beverage.

World-renowned designer Masamichi Katayama of Wonderwall crafted the gorgeous, 16,500-square-foot, three-story space, as he did for the Tokyo and Dubai locations, as well. The Manhattan location represents the largest of the three, with exclusive elements for an elevated experience.

The Café is located on the street-level floor, alongside the CRAFTED FOR LEXUS retail shop and Public Gallery space. The second level houses the full-service Restaurant at INTERSECT BY LEXUS — NYC and Cocktail Bar and Lounge. Like the Café, the Restaurant and the Cocktail Bar and Lounge are both managed by Union Square Hospitality Group. The last floor—the third—has the Private Gallery, which will also be home to an events space, touting art installations, film screenings, panels, performances and other culturally relevant experiences.

“The collaborative nature of New York City makes it a natural choice for the next adaptation of INTERSECT,” says Kirk Edmondson, General Manager of INTERSECT BY LEXUS – NYC. “We anticipate the cornerstones of the city will come to life within the space and become a hub where New Yorkers gather and share ideas. The unique space promotes curiosity and creativity that will inspire the next generation of innovators.”

Guests enjoy the high-quality, world-class cuisine at the Restaurant, within an atmosphere that is both casual and sophisticated simultaneously. The Restaurant also features a Global Chefs-in-Residence program, where some of the world’s top chefs— selected in collaboration with Danny Meyer’s renowned Union Square Hospitality Group—will debut new dining concepts and menus every four to six months. The first featured chef to open the restaurant was Chef Gregory Marchand, known for bringing his simple yet bold French flavors to Frenchie Restaurant in Paris and Frenchie Covent Garden in London.

“In many ways, this is a dream collaboration as Lexus shares our commitment to hospitality, excellence and innovation, and INTERSECT is the perfect canvas for experimentation,” says Ron Parker, Chief Operating Officer of Union Square Hospitality Group.

“When presented with the opportunity to search the globe for culinary innovators, we couldn’t wait to collaborate with some of the most exciting and inventive chefs that live to create positive and uplifting experiences for all guests.”

gathered at the Tao nightclub in midtown Manhattan for the fifth annual American Group Travel Awards (AGTAs), organized by group travel leader HotelPlanner.com. A total of 24 awards were presented.

Tim Hentschel, CEO of HotelPlanner.com, created the American Group Travel Awards five years ago to recognize and honor the leading suppliers of outstanding services and group travel experiences in North America. Hentschel - whose own father worked for decades in the hospitality industry - founded HotelPlanner.com in 2002 and has since built the company into a group booking travel powerhouse. The company processed nearly one million group bookings on its proprietary platform in 2018 and has partnerships with Expedia, The Knot and Super Shuttle, to name a few.

“On behalf of the entire team at HotelPlanner.com, I would like to extend my most sincere congratulations to the evening’s esteemed winners and runners-up,” Hentschel said. “This year ’s nominee continued to raise the bar for the group travel industry, and it’s an honor to celebrate their terrific achievements.”

Attendees at the star-studded event included The Flash actress Violett Beane, Emmy award-winning TV and WABC radio host Rita Cosby, Fox News’ Rob Schmitt, America First PAC chairwoman Kimberly Guilfoyle, and political advisor Katrina Pierson. The evening was hosted by documentary filmmaker and former MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan.

Some of the evening’s top awards went to Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (Best Hotel Brand – Full Service), Park Hyatt (Best Hotel Brand – Luxury), and Westgate Resorts (Best Independent Hotel Brand). Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines was named Best Airline, Carnival Cruise Line earned top honors as the Best Ocean Cruise Line, and Travel + Leisure magazine picked up the Best Travel Media Outlet award. In a look toward the future of the group travel industry, Arlo Hotels won the evening’s Best New/Emerging Hotel Brand award.

Guests were treated throughout the evening to performances by cast members of Broadway’s biggest hit musicals, including Aladdin, Hamilton, and Kinky Boots, as well as music from New York’s own DJ Dalton. Attendees also participated in a raffle for a one carat diamond and a magnum-sized bottle of champagne, with all proceeds going to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the official charity of the AGTAs. The event raised $10,000 for St. Jude’s.
