SHOT ON LOCATION AT THE LANDMARK BY TIFFANY & CO., NEW YORK CITY ALL JEWELRY BY TIFFANY & CO. BLUE BOOK 2025: SEA OF WONDER

ew people can make four hours of sleep look glamorous, but Brazilian supermodel Sofia Resing is one of them. As the sun barely rises over New York, Resing waltzes on set at five a.m., effortlessly chic in baggy jeans and a leather jacket. Her energy radiates. You’d never guess she landed in Manhattan from Miami at midnight.

That’s the thing about Resing — her lighthearted attitude is hard to faze. After our cover shoot in New York, she boarded a nine-hour flight to Brazil. Just days later, when we caught up again, she was in Mallorca, heading to dinner before yet another early photoshoot call time the next morning.

Perhaps moving from Brazil at a young age to pursue her modeling career may have shaped Sofia Resing’s joie de vivre — and her ability to work hard on so little sleep. “I was scouted at around 14 or 15,” she tells me. “Growing up, I never wanted to model. I was a nerdy, shy kid. Then, my twin sister (we’re fraternal twins) was spotted in a shopping mall with our mom. Back then, that’s how you got discovered — there was no Instagram,” she says with a laugh.

“My sister was scouted to participate in a modeling contest by Ford Models in Brazil, so my mom suggested I go with her,” she continues, making a joke that her mom obligated her to go. “I became a finalist for Brazil, which led me to sign with Ford Models in New York as well.”

Discovered at a very young age, Resing remained in school, traveling to Europe during school breaks to model — making it a point to never miss school. At 17, after graduating high school, she made the move to Europe full-time to pursue modeling.

Then, in 2010, Resing’s life changed forever — she moved to New York and never looked back.

In New York, Resing started making a name for herself, walking runways for designers like Versace and Zuhair Murad and working with renowned photographers such as Mario Testino and Ruven Afanador. In 2016, she appeared in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit (2016 Rookie Class). “This was a key moment for my career,” Resing admits. “Sports Illustrated really separated me as a model and marked a major pivot in my career.”

Another pinch-me moment occurred for Resing the first time she walked in the Giorgio Armani runway show. “I walked in the Armani Privé show in Paris, and that day, my agent told me that I had to stay after the show to start shooting the campaign at midnight. I was completely shocked. We shot through the night on Place Vendôme in Paris, at the Armani headquarters, and all I could think about was if these walls could talk,” she recounts. “This was the start of something amazing.”

“I BELIEVE IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE FASHION OR CLIMATE;THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO WORK IN TANDEM.”

Over the years, she continued to build her illustrious modeling career, following in the footsteps of Brazilian supermodels like Gisele Bündchen, Adriana Lima, and Alessandra Ambrosio, who paved the way for her success. “The top Brazilian girls who were still the Victoria’s Secret Angels in 2010 opened so many doors for all of us,” Resing says. “They were always very welcoming in the industry.”

In fact, being welcoming is the Brazilian way. “To be honest, Brazilians are generally happy and friendly people,” Resing says with a smile, exuding that signature Brazilian charm. “My personality has played a long way in getting me to where I am. Of course, there are so many beautiful models, but it’s always been very important to me to remain professional while being myself.”

So, who is Sofia Resing outside of modeling?

In April 2021, she moved down to Miami, where she discovered another passion. “When I first moved to Miami, I was looking for something to do on the weekends, and as I was scrolling Instagram, an invite to a beach cleanup popped up. So, I went to volunteer, and right away, I met Sophie Ringel, the founder of Clean Miami Beach.”

Clean Miami Beach (CMB) is a nonprofit dedicated to environmental stewardship, organizing weekly beach cleanups while also educating the public about the harmful impacts of plastic pollution and the importance of sustainable practices. Resing was immediately drawn to the cause.

“I wanted to expand my involvement with CMB beyond volunteering, so I created an ambassadorship program with Ringel with the goal to spread more awareness and get more people on board to help with this initiative,” she explains.

“For me, the why is simple. Fourteen million tons of plastic end up in the ocean annually, and the schools do not currently teach about plastic pollution. It is a huge problem, especially being in Miami, and we need to start somewhere,” she says. “And I love that Ringel does this — she’s in a classroom, and she partners with schools to have kids come to the beach to learn about plastic pollution beyond just garbage collection. We are trying to change for the next generation.”

Resing spends much of her free time in the ocean, whether kitesurfing or enjoying a relaxing day alone, embracing her love for nature. Her connection to the ocean is so innate, from growing up in Brazil to eventually landing in Miami, that I can’t help but draw the oddly synergistic parallel from our time at the photoshoot.

Blue Book Collection

Flashing back to the cover shoot, we had the exclusive opportunity to shoot the new Tiffany & Co. Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder collection. The Blue Book has stood as the jeweler’s most creative, expansive designs in high jewelry, with this collection being no different. As its name suggests, Sea of Wonder channels the allure, motion, and mystery of the deep sea, drawing inspiration from the legendary aquatic designs of Jean Schlumberger. With an evocative palette of iridescent hues and bioluminescent accents, the collection transforms the ocean’s flora, fauna, and waves into a surreal narrative of artistry and innovation.

The dynamic designs posing as a tribute to the ocean shining on Resing, a passionate advocate, almost feels like fate.

Yet this intersection between the worlds of fashion and climate should collide.

“I am currently obsessed with this woman, Arizona Muse, who is a supermodel and earth activist,” Resing says. “She believes fashion can be a climate solution, and so do I. She motivates me to keep spreading awareness about sustainability because I believe it doesn’t have to be fashion or climate; they should be able to work in tandem.”

She continues, “Muse did a Ted Talk called Turning Fashion into a Climate Solution, where it tells the story of a dress, revealing how it is made and sourced down to where the lining comes from. I recommend everyone to watch this.”

For Resing, it’s important to channel her energy here as she sits at the crossroads of fashion and sustainability. “Muse notes that one day, we will read the labels of our clothing the same way we obsess over food labels — to me, this is very powerful.”

Speaking of channeling her energy, as Resing looks ahead, she hints at an exciting fashion industry project in the works. Still, she keeps details under wraps, leaving us to tune into the announcement on her Instagram that is coming soon.

Resing has amassed a loyal Instagram following where she uses her platform to continue building her personal brand — a tool she believes all young models need to possess today. “For the girls starting in modeling now, I always advise them to work on their social media. Unlike when I started in 2010, nowadays, you have to have social media to show who you are. It’s all about building your own brand and image,” she says.

In many ways, the job of modeling has transcended beyond just being beautiful. “It’s not just about your appearance; it’s about who you are, your ideas, your style. I love this movement,” Resing admits. “It gives fashion more depth.”

Depth defines Resing, a theme that resonates throughout our interview. There are many depths to who she is as a person, proving her to be as rare as the jewelry she wears.

HOSPITALITY ON A GLOBAL STAGE

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

NOBLE 33, A GLOBAL HOSPITALITY GROUP LED BY ENTREPRENEURS

Tosh Berman and Mikey Tanha, is redefining fine dining with its portfolio of acclaimed restaurants across the United States and abroad. Noble 33 creates signature, high-energy, and high-touch culinary and entertainment experiences through concepts like the Mexico City-inspired Toca Madera, contemporary Italian steakhouse Sparrow Italia, Mediterranean-influenced Meduza Mediterrania, and coastal, Riviera Maya-inspired Casa Madera. Ahead, Berman and Tanha share their journey, revealing the passion and strategy behind their globally expanding repertoire.

What inspired you to create Noble 33, and how do you define its mission in today’s competitive hospitality landscape?

TOSH BERMAN & MIKEY TANHA: For us, our most cherished experiences have been a result of traveling and dining with friends. Our mission at Noble 33 is to develop concepts and spaces that allow our guests to experience similar unforgettable moments as a result of our elevated hospitality. While a competitive landscape exists in many markets around the US, we still see a large gap in the type of immersive experiences that Noble 33 venues provide.

What’s your strategy for balancing international growth with maintaining the integrity of each restaurant’s unique concept?

Noble 33’s expansion strategy is rooted in a careful balance between growth and authenticity. As we bring our brands to new markets, we prioritize three key pillars: cultural adaptability, operational excellence, and brand integrity. First, we ensure that each restaurant maintains its unique identity by deeply understanding the local market while staying true to the core DNA of the brand. This means sourcing high-quality ingredients, curating immersive dining experiences, and training our local teams to uphold the branding elements of each concept.

Second, we implement a strong operational framework that allows for scalability without compromising quality. Our leadership team works closely with our local teams to maintain consistency while embracing regional nuances that enhance the guest experience and create a connection to the local community.

Finally, we foster a culture of excellence across all our locations, ensuring that each new opening meets the high standards that define Noble 33 to create destination-worthy dining experiences that feel both globally recognized and locally cherished. Ultimately, our goal is to grow with purpose, bringing worldclass hospitality to new markets while preserving the authenticity that makes each of our brands special.

How have you seen the culinary landscape evolve in Miami?

Miami has been going through a cultural renaissance, and its culinary landscape has undergone a remarkable evolution over the past decade. We’ve had an influx of residents originating from many different places and cultures, which has allowed Miami to transform into a true global dining destination. This growth and shift in the local demographic have harbored diversity in the culinary landscape. We are seeing many national and international brands bring flagship locations to Miami, and so far, the city’s growth has supported this evolution. One of the most significant shifts has been the rise of high-end, immersive dining experiences. Guests today aren’t just looking for a great meal, they want a full sensory experience that blends exceptional cuisine, elevated design, and heightened energy. We believe that our concepts fit nicely within this evolution, and so far, it’s resonated with our local supporters.

Are there any new markets or concepts you’re particularly excited about?

We are very excited about bringing our concepts and our unique twist to hospitality to markets like Nashville, Dallas, Chicago, and Boston, while also doing more in some of our existing markets such as New York and Miami. Our brands are like our children, we love them all equally, but we would be remiss not to say that we are most excited by our expansion in the Miami market, mainly for selfish reasons — we live here.

As industry veterans, where do you see the future of hospitality?

That’s a broad question. As a broad answer, the future of hospitality is all about immersive, personalized, and experience-driven dining. While technology and social media are playing a big role in the evolution of most industries, at the heart of hospitality will always be human connection. The most successful brands will be those that strike the perfect balance between innovation and authenticity, using technology and social media to satisfy the consumer’s need for instant gratification while maintaining the warmth and soul of traditional hospitality.

Additionally, consumers are learning more and more about what to put in their bodies and, also, caring about the environment, so sourcing sustainable high-quality products will be more of a necessity for the industry as a whole.

RICK ROSS GRACES THE INAUGURAL COVER OF HAUTE JETS , SHOWING OFF HIS CUSTOM GULFSTREAM G550.

INTERVIEW BY TERRENCE J. PHOTOGRAPHY NICK GARCIA

GROOMING CESAR FERRETTE

RICK “ROZAY” ROSS ISN’T JUST FLYING HIGH — HE’S FLYING PRIVATE.

But this moment has been a long time coming. The nine-time Grammynominated rapper, author, liquor brand owner, real estate investor, restaurant franchise king, and Maybach Music Group founder has made an empire out of patience, strategy, and style. One of his most impressive power moves?

A custom Gulfstream G550, nicknamed “The Golden Eagle,” housed in his private hangar at Opa Locka Executive Airport.

To the Miami-born mogul, this is much more than just a jet — it’s a symbol of ownership, legacy, and the kind of discipline he has championed since the beginning of his career. Inside the hangar, there’s a bulletproof wine cellar, a vintage luxury car fleet, and a command of space that mirrors the way Ross moves in life: intentional, elevated, and never rushed.

We sat down with Ross on the runway to talk about private aviation, manifestation, the meaning of luxury, hospitality at 40,000 feet, and why everything he touches — from planes to chips to playlists — reflects a deeper vision: a legacy in the making.

Let’s start with the G550. What pushed you to finally take the leap to owning your own jet?

It wasn’t a rush. I watched others charter jets to take the pictures — I flew Delta. I said, one day, I’ll do it when I really own it. And I waited until I was ready. Now, it’s all about time. You realize your time is valuable. I might be in Miami in the morning and Vegas at night, then home by midnight. That’s a different level.

How hands-on were you with customizing it?

Every part. The interior is G600-style. The exterior? Not a wrap — that’s a $500,000 paint job. The tail number includes my hometown zip code, 33055. I planned this for years.

This hangar alone is its own flex. What’s inside?

Two ‘57 Bel Airs — one red, one silver and green. That’s $750,000. A video game station. My wine cellar — it’s bulletproof, climate controlled, and custom designed. Even my jet’s parking space is a statement. You might pay $100,000 a month just for your hangar.

What are the essentials on board every time you fly?

Boss essentials: Belaire. My books. A pair of slides. Clean linens. And my own playlist — no skips. Every flight’s got to feel like your own energy bubble.

You’re still growing the empire. What’s the secret to balancing it all?

I only do what I love. From decorating my Star Island home to building my brand with spirits, snacks, music, and now a dentist office with Dr. Mario Montoya, it’s all about passion and strong partnerships. You’ve got to be the best at what you do.

You’ve got homes, a yacht, a plane — what’s next?

A billion. I’m not stopping. And yeah, there’s more Maybach Music coming, too.

You’ve manifested a lot. Any advice you’d give to young Ricky “Rozay”? Have the vision. Understand it takes time. Stay grounded, stay focused. Don’t fold. Enjoy it — but take every move seriously. Smile, but don’t play with your future.

What do you play on your first flight out?

Curtis Mayfield. B.I.G. Tupac. The ones who gave everything. That’s the energy I take into the sky.

How do you define the jet-set lifestyle?

Jet-set isn’t just about travel — it’s about freedom. Moving on your time, with your people, on your terms. It’s flying out last-minute to close a deal, or just to clear your head above the clouds. That’s power.

What’s something success taught you that nothing else could?

To slow down and still win. The world tells you to rush. But real wealth, real power — it comes when you move with purpose. I learned to listen more, react less, and let the work speak for itself.

What’s one luxury most people overlook — but you never do?

Silence. Peace of mind. Space. That’s why I built this. There’s no price tag on peace.

You’ve manifested a lot. Any advice you’d give to young “Rozay”?

Have the vision. Understand it takes time. Stay grounded, stay focused. Don’t fold. Enjoy it — but take every move seriously. Smile, but don’t play with your future.

2025 Bentley GT Speed First Edition

Fast and luxurious.

BY TIM LAPPEN

WAY BACK WHEN, THINGS WERE SIMPLER. CAR MAKERS CREATED sedans, coupes, some station wagons, and a few convertibles. Now, people want it their way, and so the manufacturers have stepped up to let us buy the car just the way we want it. Want a luxury car? There are many to choose from. Want a performance car? Ditto. But what if you want a luxurious performance car? Try 1-800-Bentley. (Don’t really try calling that number!)

A few years ago, Bentley hit on the idea of offering most of their models in a “Speed” version, basically adding some trick accoutrements to distinguish the appearance and an injection of go-fast parts to make it a real performer. Bentley first used the “Speed” moniker in the late 1920s, when the Bentley Speed Six denoted both a six-cylinder engine and a displacement of over six liters. However, the modern day “Speed” nameplate didn’t occur until 2007, and that specification has been available on a range of Bentley models every year since. We are focusing here on the 2025 Continental GT Speed First Editon. The new look of the GT, the fourth generation of the model, showcases Bentley’s forward-looking design language. With the Speed edition, the first

thing you’ll notice is the blackline trim. Like myriad details available when creating a somewhat bespoke vehicle, the dark trim is optional but it’s a strong indicator that you’re in a Speed version. The metal surrounding the windows, the door handles, the radiator grille, the lower side blades, the headlamp and tail lamp embellishers, the tailpipes, and more are all black and the wheels (again, an option) are semi-gloss black. Call it the “Bad Boy Bentley,” if you will, as it has a slightly sinister look, indicating that it’s purpose-built to go fast rather than simply being a shiny rolling luxurious moving art piece. Of course, it couldn’t use the word “speed” unless it were faster than the standard GT, so it’s no surprise that the power, torque, and performance all are improved 771 HP, 738 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 208 mph (compared to the standard GT, which still has impressive but more modest stats 671 HP, 686 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 168 mph). These hybrids also can accomplish almost 50 miles of all-electric driving and a total range of about 530 miles. We all would gladly drive the “regular” GT, but having the chance to experience the performance Speed version is a real treat.

The GT Speed also arrives with the new Bentley Performance Active Chassis, plus a new dual-valve damper system, dual-chamber air springs, and the extremely impressive Bentley Dynamic Ride (a great anti-roll system, for better control during cornering). The weight distribution is a remarkable 49/51 percent front/rear, an ideal balance to ensure improved handling.

As a two-door coupe (all Bentley GTs are two-doors; their GTC is the droptop version), they all share the same basic shape, and these days all are hybrids, with a 4.0-liter turbocharged V-8 with a serious electric motor connected in. The hybrid setup clearly assists with the fuel economy but the real benefit of a hybrid in this setting is to make the performance right now — electric motors virtually have their entire power available for immediate use, just by stomping the GO pedal.

“My” Bentley was a Snow Quartz Pearlescent with magenta hides and damson (rose) accents. (The color of the car shown here is Gravity Grey.) The dash veneer was high-gloss carbon fiber and it sported beautiful hides and woods everywhere. The contrast of the vibrant, sparkling white paint and the black trim and wheels was stunning.

My car was also fitted with a laundry list (if you have expensive laundry) of options. The blackline spec added $4,735, the special paint (a deep threecoat finish) cost another $16,900, and the First Edition Launch Specification was an impressive $50,940 for the unique badging, treadplates, upholstery embroidery, the rotating gauge dash display, ventilated and massaging seats, dark chrome interior pieces, special wheels, interior contrast stitching, the Naim audio features, and other exclusive details created by Bentley’s high-end atelier, Mulliner. The only other option that came close, price-wise, was the carbon-ceramic brakes with red painted calipers, which added $16,985. Bottom line — for the $302,100 base price, get ready to pony up about $100,000 for these options, bringing the manufacturer’s MSRP to just over $400,000.

Fire it up and you’re welcomed by the sound of raw power barely contained. The roar/rumble portends great performance which, at 3.1 seconds from zero to 60, clearly is present. I particularly enjoyed the paddle shifters as I thoroughly enjoyed the sounds of the revving engine.

It’s hard to believe that a car of its heft (just over 5,400 pounds) is “tossable,” but handling really is its strong suit. A fun run up on Mulholland Highway and a few of the motorcycle-friendly curvy feeder roads all were handled with the ease befitting a sports car with half the weight and a much lower center of gravity.

I really enjoyed driving this car. It’s elegant, fast, and gorgeous. It coddles the occupants and driver but can move with such speed and confidence that it’s more like driving a high-performance sports car. I’ve been a fan of the brand for years and this is Bentley’s best creation yet for marrying luxury and the thrill of driving. More, please!

Diamonds, Distinct Design & Dials

Discover a few of the best novelties Grand Seiko presented at Watches and Wonders 2025.

BY ANDRE FROIS

GRAND SEIKO IS RENOWNED FOR ITS ALLURING NATURE-INSPIRED dials, its exquisite proportions, and unique technical innovations. These definitive fortes of the brand were on full display at Watches and Wonders 2025 in Geneva this April. The manufacturer’s unwavering commitment to excellence has earned it numerous prestigious awards, including the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Men’s Watch Prize in 2021 for the Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 80 Hours, and the GPHG Chronometry Prize in 2022 for the Grand Seiko Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon. At Watches & Wonders 2025, Grand Seiko introduced an array of enchanting novelties that celebrate the brand’s flair with dial design, the continued inspiration of Iwate, and an unprecedented achievement in mechanical accuracy.

TENTAGRAPH

SLGC007

A GPHG 2023 nominee, the Grand Seiko Tentagraph returns with a blue embossed dial, inspired by the majestic Mount Iwate. The name “Tentagraph” comes from its Caliber 9SC5 movement, which operates at 10 beats per second — hence the “TEN-tagraph.” This high-precision, high-beat chronograph offers an impressive three-day power reserve and is rigorously tested for accuracy, ensuring it maintains plus five to minus

three seconds per day. Housed in titanium and maintaining the same 43.2 mm case size as the 2023 model, this Tentagraph features a “Snow Blue” dial that’s much lighter than its navy blue predecessor. This gentle hue pays homage to the snow-capped peak of Mount Iwate that stands tall beside Grand Seiko’s Shizukuishi workshop.

TOKYO LION TENTAGRAPH SLGC009

The acclaimed Tentagraph has also been reimagined in the Tokyo Lion case, which was first introduced in 2019, and the result is a masterclass in visual depth. This bold design, inspired by a lion’s paw, symbolizes Grand Seiko’s relentless pursuit of accuracy, durability, and beauty. It’s the first time that Brilliant Hard Titanium has been incorporated into Grand Seiko’s Sport Collection.

This corrosion- and scratch-resistant titanium alloy is brighter than pure titanium, which does well to accentuate the contrasting brushed and Zaratsu-polished surfaces of the lion-inspired case. This robust design is complemented by a striped dial, meant to evoke “a lion’s mane waving in the wind,” and these waves are beautifully interspersed by recessed chronograph counters.

SPRING DRIVE U.F.A. SLGB001 AND SLGB003

Invented in 1977 by Seiko’s Yoshikazu Akahane, the Spring Drive is the definitive Grand Seiko innovation, which enables electrical energy to power a mechanical movement. After creating a manual-winding Spring Drive watch in 1999, Grand Seiko managed to create an automatic Spring Drive movement in 2004, which it named the 9R. And at Watches and Wonders 2025, Grand Seiko revealed that the new improved 9R is now more compact and accurate than ever before.

Grand Seiko fans may recall the V.F.A. (Very Fine Adjusted) series that debuted in 1969, known for its monthly accuracy of ±1 minute. Now, the U.F.A. (Ultra Fine Accuracy) series takes precision to new heights, offering an annual accuracy of ±20 seconds. This U.F.A. movement that drives the SLGB001 and SLGB003 is called the 9RB2 and is the most accurate wristwatch movement driven by a mainspring.

Grand Seiko has engraved this incredible achievement onto these watches’ oscillating weights. The plates and bridges below these rotors have been hand-finished with a variety of techniques to reflect the forests of the Kirigamine Highlands that lie east of the Shinshu Studio, which is where these watches are made. The meticulously finished dials of these watches are meant to mimic these frost-covered forests, too.

The high-precision caliber 9RB2 has been integrated with thermoscompensation technology and was then rigorously tested in various temperatures so as to ensure chronometric excellence in different environments. Its oscillator and sensor have been vacuum sealed to make them resistant to humidity, light, and static electricity. Furthermore, the 9RB2 has a regulation switch that Grand Seiko after-sales staff can use to fine-tune it, should its accuracy ever diminish.

The 9RB2 is also a much more compact version of the 9R. Consequently, the SLGB001 and SLGB003 have case diameters of 37 mm. This makes them the smallest timepieces to ever house a 9R-type movement. The SLGB003 features High-Intensity Titanium paired with a new three-step micro-adjustment clasp, while the SLGB001’s 950 platinum case is secured to a crocodile strap and limited to just 80 pieces.

THE WORLD’S THINNEST TOURBILLON

Bvlgari breaks another record with the Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

BVLGARI’S OCTO FINISSIMO ULTRA TOURBILLON BREAKS YET another record, coming in as the world’s thinnest tourbillon. Unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2025, this 1.85 mm marvel clinches the Maison’s 10th world record for ultra-thin watchmaking, cementing its reign as a horological pioneer.

The Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon is unmistakably Bvlgari. Its 40 mm octagonal case, inspired by the coffered ceilings of Rome’s Basilica of Maxentius, channels the Eternal City’s architectural grandeur into a modernist frame. Crafted from microbead-frosted titanium, the bezel, case middle, and lugs exude a monochromatic grey elegance. What sets this watch apart visually is its skeletonized movement, a masterclass in transparency. Bvlgari has elevated skeletonization beyond mere esthetics, using it to maximize light diffusion through the BVF 900 tourbillon caliber. The result? A hypnotic interplay of finishes: a polished bezel flange slope, rhodium-plated tourbillon balance, inertia blocks, and a sunburst-finished tourbillon bridge. Every component is a study in contrasts, balancing mechanical intricacy with refined artistry.

The dial — sandblasted brass with an anthracite DLC coating — features rhodium-plated hour and minute hands, a return to a traditional two-hand layout that distinguishes it from predecessors like the Octo Finissimo Ultra and Ultra COSC, which used regulator-style displays. This shift enhances legibility without compromising the watch’s minimalist ethos. Paired with a 1.5 mm titanium bracelet (including the folding clasp), the Ultra Tourbillon feels like an extension of the wrist — sleek, lightweight, and uncompromisingly contemporary.

Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Bvlgari’s executive director of watch design, sums it up: “It’s not just about the finest design but achieving a precise execution that tells the story of the Octo Finissimo series.” Every detail — from the geometric engravings on the circular-grained steel ratchet to the planar stainless-steel crowns at eight and three o’clock — reflects Bvlgari’s commitment to excellence.

At its core, the Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon is a feat of engineering. Measuring just 1.85 mm thick, it’s the world’s thinnest tourbillon — a record previously unimaginable for a complication invented in the 18th century to combat gravity’s effects on precision. The manually wound BVF 900 caliber beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour (four Hz) and delivers a 42hour power reserve, proving that ultra-thin doesn’t mean fragile.

This achievement builds on Bvlgari’s storied pursuit of thinness, sparked in 2014 with the original Octo Finissimo Tourbillon (1.95 mm thick). Since then, the Maison has racked up records — thinnest minute repeater (2016), thinnest automatic (2017), thinnest perpetual calendar (2021) — and over 60 awards, including the coveted Aiguille d’Or at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG). The Ultra Tourbillon is the latest chapter,

backed by eight patents covering innovations like the integrated case-andplate design, differential display, and a novel bracelet structure.

The secret lies in its materials and construction. A tungsten carbide main plate provides rigidity where traditional brass would falter, while titanium keeps the weight featherlight (the watch tips the scales at just 47 grams with the bracelet). Designing in two dimensions rather than three — a radical departure from convention — required Bvlgari’s R&D team to rethink watchmaking fundamentals. “Each record has been a stepping stone,” says CEO Jean-Christophe Babin. “It’s about redefining what’s possible.”

The skeletonized tourbillon, visible at six o’clock, is the beating heart of this creation. Stripped to its essentials, it demands flawless execution — any imperfection would be glaringly apparent. Bvlgari delivers, with a movement that’s as reliable as it is mesmerizing. The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon is a horological tour de force. It’s not the thinnest watch ever — that title still belongs to the 1.8 mm Octo Finissimo Ultra — but as the thinnest tourbillon, it achieves something arguably more impressive: marrying a complex complication with extreme finesse. Its design is a love letter to Rome, its engineering a testament to Swiss mastery, and its legacy a benchmark for the industry.

A SYMPHONY OF TIME

Introducing the new A. Lange & Söhne Minute Repeater Perpetual.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

A. LANGE & SÖHNE HAS A DISTINCT SOUND (I CAN ODDLY CLOSE my eyes and hear it), and at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2025, they debuted a horological marvel: the Minute Repeater Perpetual. Limited to just 50 pieces in 950 platinum, this timepiece unites two of watchmaking’s most sophisticated complications — a minute repeater and a perpetual calendar — driven by the newly developed caliber L122.2. Paired with an in-house black enamel dial and finished to perfection, it’s a rare fusion of technical virtuosity and acoustic artistry.

The Minute Repeater Perpetual is a bold endeavor, even for a manufacturer with Lange’s pedigree. Each complication alone is a feat: the minute repeater chimes the time with crystalline clarity, while the perpetual calendar tracks it across decades. Combining them demands not only engineering brilliance but also the finesse to harmonize their mechanisms — a challenge Lange’s watchmakers met with aplomb. “We worked towards a perfect sound experience right from the start, combined with the acoustic properties of platinum,” explains Anthony de Haas, director of product development. The result is a timepiece that sings as beautifully as it endures, limited to 50 pieces and available exclusively at select Lange boutiques.

Activate the slide on the left case flank, and the Minute Repeater Perpetual comes alive. Low tones mark the hours, double tones signal the quarters, and high-pitched strikes count the minutes — a repertoire of 720 unique sequences for every minute in a 12-hour cycle. Two hand-tuned gongs, visible through the sapphire caseback, deliver a lucid, reverberant sound tailored to platinum’s acoustic resonance. This isn’t a generic chime; it’s a singular timbre, refined by a master watchmaker through multiple assemblies and adjustments, akin to tuning a musical instrument.

Lange enhances this classic complication with ingenious features. A pause elimination system skips the silence between hour and minute strikes when no quarter-hour double tone is needed in the first 14 minutes past the hour. A safety device prevents the repeater from activating while the crown is pulled — and vice versa — protecting the 194-part mechanism. The patented hammer blocker ensures the gong hammers pause briefly after striking, preventing rebounds for a cleaner sound. It’s a level of refinement that echoes Lange’s striking masterpieces like the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater and Grand Complication.

While the minute repeater captures the moment, the perpetual calendar gazes into the future. This mechanism masters the Gregorian calendar’s complexities — 28, 30, or 31-day months and leap years — requiring no correction until March 1, 2100, when the leap year is skipped. The moonphase display, with twin 750 gold moons amid hand-engraved stars, mirrors the synodic orbit so precisely that it deviates by just one day every 122.6 years. In true Lange fashion, all calendar indications advance together via a single corrector, with separate adjusters for day, month/leap year, and moon phase, balancing sophistication with ease. The iconic outsize date at 12 o’clock — a hallmark since 1994 — anchors the design with bold clarity.

The Minute Repeater Perpetual’s four-part dial, crafted in-house from

750 gold and filled with glossy black enamel, is a visual triumph. Its immaculate surface contrasts sharply with the white Roman numerals and 750 gold hands, ensuring legibility while exuding elegance. Subsidiary dials at nine o’clock (day and 24-hour display), three o’clock (month and leap year), and six o’clock (small seconds and moon phase) are framed by circular lenses — fine white-gold borders that elevate the dial’s depth. The 40.5 mm platinum case, 12.1 mm high, pairs with a hand-stitched black alligator strap and a deployant buckle, its heft is a subtle reminder of the complexity within.

The manually wound caliber L122.2, with 640 parts, is a showcase of Lange’s artisanal mastery. Visible through the sapphire caseback, its threequarter plate of untreated German silver — decorated with black-rhodium engravings and Glashütte ribbing — nods to tradition, while four screwed gold chatons add a touch of opulence. The hand-engraved balance cock, topped with a whiplash spring, regulates a shock-resistant screw balance and in-house balance spring at 21,600 vph (three Hz), delivering a 72-hour power reserve.

The striking mechanism steals the spotlight: two manually bent gongs encircle the movement, struck by black-polished hammers that reflect light in a mirror-like gloss from one angle and jet black from others — a painstaking finish requiring immense skill. A near-silent centrifugal governor, spinning at over 2,000 rpm, ensures a uniform chime cadence, while solarized bridges unify the esthetic. It’s a movement that rewards scrutiny, every detail precision-adjusted in five positions to Lange’s exacting standards.

A. Lange & Söhne has a storied history with chiming watches, from the 2013 Grand Complication to the 2020 Zeitwerk Minute Repeater. The Minute Repeater Perpetual builds on this lineage, pairing auditory brilliance with perpetual precision in a way few can rival.

THE HAUTE LIST

FROM SUN-SOAKED BEACHES TO CHIC CITY ESCAPES, THESE ARE THE DESTINATIONS DOMINATING EVERY JET-SETTER’S ITINERARY THIS SUMMER.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

BODRUM, TURKEY MANDARIN ORIENTAL, BODRUM

If you’re headed to the Turkish Riviera, there’s one address that stands above the rest — and not just literally, either. Built into the hillside above Paradise Bay, Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum delivers exactly what the jet-set wants from summer: privacy, polish, and panoramic views that go on forever. This is where yachts drop anchor, helicopters land nearby, and guests drift between beach clubs, plunge pools, and Michelin-minded dining. With two private beaches, 122 elegant rooms and villas (most with private terraces and pools), and restaurants like Hakkasan, Roka, and Lucca Beach, the resort was designed for long, sun-soaked days and glamorous, barefoot nights. Summer is when Bodrum buzzes — Göltürkbükü, just five minutes away, transforms into a scene out of Saint-Tropez — but the Mandarin Oriental keeps you cocooned in the kind of calm that feels rare and indulgent. The spa is next-level, the villas feel like private homes, and every detail — from the sea breeze to the jasmine-lined walkways — is designed to make you exhale. Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum isn’t just a place to stay — it’s the summer capital of cool, where high style meets high season, and the only real decision is whether to head to lunch by land or by boat. Gölköy, 314 Sokak No.10, 48483 Muğla, Türkiye

MYKONOS, GREECE ANANDES HOTEL, MYKONOS

Perched above the whitewashed rooftops of Mykonos Town, Anandes Hotel returns for its second season, reaffirming its place as one of the island’s most distinctive boutique retreats. A refined homage to Cycladic design, the independently owned property pairs sweeping sunset views with Rivierastyle glamour. With just 42 rooms and suites — many with private pools — plus a full-service spa, hammam, sauna, and 24-hour gym, Anandes balances serenity and proximity just steps from Mykonos’ buzziest shops, bars, and beach clubs. From sculptural interiors by Philippe Anthonioz to curated works by Richard Serra, every inch of Anandes is a love letter to art, architecture, and island life — with Mykonos’ best sunset as your nightly backdrop. At the heart of it all is its iconic, open-air dining experience La Petite Maison (LPM). Here, signature dishes like salt baked sea bass and its beloved vanilla crème brûlée are served with a side of Aegean views and live DJ sets. This summer, LPM Mykonos launches L’EscarGO, a new private dining experience delivering their cult classics to yachts, villas, and jets across the Greek isles... because indulgence should never require a reservation. Street of Fine Arts, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

MYKONOS, GREECE SANTA MARINA, A LUXURY COLLECTION RESORT

When your day starts with yacht-spotting from a private beach and ends with sushi and champagne at BuddhaBar, you know you’ve landed somewhere special. Santa Marina, Mykonos isn’t just another Greek island resort — it’s the kind of place that quietly captures the attention of the global jet-set every summer, without ever having to say so. Located on its own secluded peninsula in Ornos Bay, it’s the only property on the island with a private, swimmable beach — calm, sandy, and blissfully shielded from the wind. Suites and villas spill down the hillside with cinematic views of the Aegean, each space dressed in sun-washed neutrals, raffia textures, and natural woods that feel more refined than the typical whitewashed cliché. Private pools and butler service come standard for those who want it — but the real scene is social. Lunch turns into late-day lounging at Buddha-Bar Beach, while the Ginkgo Spa offers high-touch, high-tech rituals with brands like 111Skin. Here, you’ve got a Mediterranean summer that’s equal parts polished and playful. Santa Marina isn’t about being seen — it’s about being exactly where you want to be. Ornos Bay, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

SAINT-TROPEZ, FRANCE

CHEVAL BLANC ST-TROPEZ

Cheval Blanc St-Tropez is the French Riviera’s most coveted summer address. Tucked along Bouillabaisse Beach, this LVMH-owned hideaway offers a rare blend of barefoot elegance and discreet glamour. With only 30 rooms and suites, each a study in light, texture, and Riviera Blue, the vibe is intimate yet impossibly polished. Days unfold between the infinity pool, the private beach, and the Guerlain Spa — a sanctuary of hammams, snow showers, and treatments designed to stop time. Days unfold into evenings at Le Bar, where haute mixology meets Provençal charm, and culminate at La Vague d’Or — chef Arnaud Donckele’s three-Michelin-starred ode to land and sea. Summer here is where the jet-set come not to be seen, but to feel — the sea breeze, the art, the understated luxury. Cheval Blanc St-Tropez doesn’t chase trends; it sets them. Plage de la Bouillabaisse, 83990 Saint-Tropez, France

MONACO, FRANCE HÔTEL DE PARIS MONTE-CARLO

If there’s one address that defines Riviera glamour, it’s the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo. Perfectly perched on the iconic Place du Casino, this Belle Époque palace isn’t just a hotel — it’s a statement. Here, the Mediterranean shimmers just beyond your balcony, the yachts are stacked in the harbor like jewels, and the energy is electric. Inside, it’s all polished marble, sweeping staircases, and sky-high ceilings, but the real magic is in the details: the legendary suites named after Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III, each with sprawling terraces and private pools made for sipping champagne with Monaco glittering below. Jetsetters flock here for the three Michelin-starred dining at Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse, rooftop lunches at Le Grill, and proximity to the kind of nightlife that never, ever makes it to Instagram. Pl. du Casino, 98000 Monaco

COMPORTA, PORTUGAL QUINTA DA COMPORTA

Quinta Da Comporta, tucked into the dunes and rice paddies of Portugal’s coast, is a state of mind. This designforward wellness resort, which blends barefoot luxury with quiet authenticity, truly comes alive in summer. Days start with yoga in the open-air shala overlooking emerald rice fields, followed by sun-drenched hours by the 130-foot infinity pool, seasonal dishes pulled from the on-site garden, and nights that begin with G&Ts and end under starlit skies in the cinema room. The vibe is slow, stylish, and deeply rooted in nature, which is exactly what draws the jet-set. Between the Oryza Spa, which uses rice-based products, and the interiors filled with pieces by Portuguese artisans, everything feels considered. R. de Alto de Pina 2, 7570-779, Portugal

IBIZA, SPAIN

THE UNEXPECTED IBIZA HOTEL

The Unexpected Ibiza Hotel isn’t subtle — and that’s exactly the point. Right on Playa d’en Bossa, this just-launched adults-only escape — the newly-opened, elevated hotel arm of the legendary Ushuaïa — dials up the drama in the best way possible. Circular beds, mirrored ceilings, bold design choices, and cheeky suite names like “Fashion Victim” and “Anything Can Happen” make it clear: this isn’t your average Ibiza stay. It’s sexy, irreverent, and completely in on the joke. In high summer, the energy here is next level. You’re steps from Ushuaïa’s day-to-night parties, but the hotel itself holds its own with rooftop cocktails at Up Ibiza Sky Society, decadent dinners at Gordon Ramsay’s newly-opened Hell’s Kitchen, and oysters and champagne at the aptly named The Oyster & Caviar Bar. There’s even a curated contemporary art collection woven into the interiors — with just enough edge to remind you this place is more than just a party pad. It’s stylish, it’s cheeky, and it leans all the way into the anything-goes spirit of Ibiza — but with polish. The Unexpected Ibiza Hotel doesn’t pretend to be for everyone: it’s for those who want to see and be seen and still sleep in luxury when the sun comes up. Ctra. de

Platja d’en Bossa, 10, 07817 Sant Jordi de ses Salines, Illes Balears, Spain

THE AMALFI COAST, ITALY LE SIRENUSE

There are hotels you visit, and then there’s Le Sirenuse — the kind of place that lives in your head long after summer ends. Perched high above Positano, this family-owned icon isn’t trying to be trendy — it just is. Rooms open out to those postcard-perfect Amalfi views, the scent of lemon trees hangs in the air, and there’s a feeling that you’ve landed exactly where you’re supposed to be. Days drift between the boat and the mosaic-tiled pool by Nicolas Party, and nights begin at Franco’s Bar with spritzes and end at Don’t Worry Music Bar, a velvet-draped, candlelit hideaway spinning Italian vinyl under a Martin Creed neon. Even the scent (yes, Eau d’Italie was born here) is iconic. The haute crowd returns each season not for flash, but for that rare mix of soul, story, and seaside elegance. Via Cristoforo Colombo, 30, 84017 Positano SA, Italy

PORTOFINO, ITALY SPLENDIDO MARE, A BELMOND HOTEL, PORTOFINO

There’s a reason high society makes their base at Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino: it’s iconic. Fresh off a design revamp by Festen Architecture, the 14 rooms and suites are equal parts mid-century Italian and modern coastal — all Gio Ponti accents, soft terracotta hues, and Carrara marble with just enough vintage flair. Rooms are named after local winds and boats, an homage to the sea that’s never far from view. Spend your days drifting between long lunches at DaV Mare and lazy strolls through the Piazzetta, and evenings with aperitivi and yacht-spotting under a coral sky. The property feels like an inside secret — and if you know, you know. Via Roma, 2, 16034 Portofino GE, Italy

BALI, INDONESIA ANANTARA UBUD BALI RESORT

There’s something transportive about Ubud in the summer — the stillness, the scent of frangipani in the air, the sound of the jungle just before dusk. And there’s no better place to soak it all in than Anantara Ubud Bali Resort, a new 85-suite property that opened just in time for summer. Surrounded by rainforest and rice paddies, the resort feels wildly remote yet effortlessly luxurious. Suites come with treetop views and oversized bathtubs perfect for post-hike soaks, while private villas offer infinity pools perched above the jungle — perfectly made for long afternoons and golden-hour lounging. Add in a yoga deck, two dreamy pools, a mist-shrouded spa, and standout restaurants where ingredients are hyper-local, and you’ve got the makings of a place that’s equal parts restorative and romantic. Jl. Raya Puhu Payangan No.88, Puhu, Kec. Payangan, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80572, Indonesia

MALOLO ISLAND, FIJI LIKULIKU LAGOON RESORT

Following a thoughtful, multi-million-dollar transformation, Fiji’s beloved Likuliku Lagoon Resort has reopened just in time for summer — with an even deeper commitment to what makes it so special: relaxed luxury, cultural authenticity, and immersive sustainability. Tucked along a shimmering, reef-fringed lagoon and surrounded by untouched natural beauty, this adults-only haven is made for warmweather escapes. Days stretch long and languid here, with snorkel-right-off-the-deck bures, morning swims in crystal-clear waters, and lazy afternoons on your private plunge pool deck. New this season is Saluwaki — a 28-seat restaurant named after the Fijian word for indigenous herbs and spices. Envision ember-roasted Walu, handmade squid ink noodles served on hand-thrown pottery, and cocktails crafted with tropical botanicals in an impossibly intimate setting. Just steps away, the Na Vanua Conservation Hub invites guests to engage with Fiji’s land and sea through handson reef planting, iguana conservation, reforestation walks, and more. Here, every beachfront bure has been refreshed, eco-friendly upgrades abound, and the main pool now gleams with a modern redesign. Likuliku in summer is what barefoot luxury was always meant to be — sun-soaked, quietly extraordinary, and entirely of its place. It’s a destination that doesn’t just embrace the season — it defines it Malolo Island, Fiji

LOUIS VUITTON CONTINUES TO REDEFINE THE MEANING OF LUXURY IN THE MODERN ERA WITH THE EXPANSION OF THE LOUIS VUITTON CULINARY COMMUNITY AND MORE.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

Over the last few years, the concept of luxury has taken on a completely new meaning, with LVMH leading the industry with new concepts and immersive experiences and the mission to build a lifestyle, not just a luxury product. Louis Vuitton’s foray into hospitality is a natural extension of its storied legacy in the art of travel, transforming culinary experiences into sensory voyages that linger in the memory.

Since the debut of Café and Restaurant Louis Vuitton in Osaka in 2020, the Maison has reimagined luxury dining through its global network of Louis Vuitton restaurants, cafés, and Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton. This culinary evolution, rooted in the savoir-faire that defines the brand, is driven by the Louis Vuitton Culinary Community, born in Saint-Tropez under the mentorship of acclaimed chefs Arnaud Donckele and Maxime Frédéric. Spanning vibrant cities like Bangkok, New York, Chengdu, and Milan, this community fosters creativity and excellence, uniting local chefs as members and internationally renowned chefs as friends to craft signature menus.

“We are dedicated to bringing customers a relaxed Louis Vuitton culinary experience,” says Donckele, emphasizing the duo’s commitment to innovation. Frédéric adds, “The Culinary Community allows us to align with the Louis Vuitton hospitality offering while encouraging chefs to flourish according to their skills.” From Michelin-starred dining to exquisite pastries and chocolates, each option invites guests to explore the House’s heritage through taste.

THE LOUIS VUITTON RESTAURANT

Louis Vuitton’s restaurants — the heart of its culinary vision — are sanctuaries where masterful craftsmanship meets exquisite cuisine. Each dish, infused with a chef’s distinctive creativity, embodies the Maison’s steadfast commitment to excellence, delivering discerning guests an unforgettable experience.

THE LOUIS VUITTON CAFÉ

For a more casual feel, the Louis Vuitton Café concept has created a new movement: luxury snacking. In an atmosphere adorned with curated design objects or envisioned as a refined library, Louis Vuitton Cafés welcome guests throughout the day to savor comforting classics reinterpreted with flair and finesse, inviting them to relax, indulge, and embrace the art of living à la Louis Vuitton.

LE CHOCOLAT MAXIME FRÉDÉRIC AT LOUIS VUITTON

Finally, Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton is the Maison’s interpretation of dessert for those with a sweet tooth. Here, culinary artistry takes shape as chocolates are crafted into exquisite forms, from signature handbag silhouettes to iconic monogrammed creations, opening the door to delectable discovery.

Arnaud Donckele and Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton, Saint-Tropez

Perhaps one of Louis Vuitton’s most notable culinary outposts, Arnaud Donckele and Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton, has reopened its Michelin-starred restaurant at the White 1921 hotel in Saint-Tropez for the season, until September 30, 2025.

Nestled on the iconic Place des Lices, this seasonal open-air dining destination, awarded a Michelin star this year, fuses Mediterranean elegance with Louis Vuitton’s signature craftsmanship, offering an eclectic menu and immersive ambiance that celebrates the summer spirit of the Côte d’Azur.

The Saint-Tropez restaurant, set in a historic courtyard once home to village doctors, echoes this ethos with a menu that explores three pillars: international, disruptive, and cultural dishes. Sourced from local producers, ingredients shine in dishes like silky marbled tomatoes, girollefilled ravioli, wagyu beef in aromatic bouillon inspired by pot-au-feu, and brill meunière with seaweed and citrus. The grilled bluetail lobster, elevated by a shiso-infused sauce, and sole with local herbs reflect the Mediterranean’s vibrant terroir. And Maxime Frédéric’s desserts steal the spotlight in the mid-afternoon, with offerings like the rhubarb vacherin and hazelnut meringue with lemon sorbet, perfect to savor under the shade of an imposing umbrella pine.

The setting is as captivating as the cuisine, with a bright floral pattern echoing the 2025 Women’s Resort Collection and the Constellation tableware collection, crafted in extrawhite Limoges porcelain with reinterpreted monogram flowers. Rattan furniture, macramé accents, and reimagined Objets Nomades — like Barber & Osgerby’s mini bell lamps and Zanellato/Bortotto’s leather-woven lamps — create an ethereal ambiance that blends 1970s Côte d’Azur nostalgia with Louis Vuitton’s modernity.

FENDI THE WILD WORLD OF

AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT ONE OF THE MOST INTIMATE EXPERIENCES IN LUXURY FASHION, THE “WORLD OF FENDI 2025.”

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF FENDI

To honor a century of unparalleled artistry, Fendi unveiled the “World of Fendi 2025,” an exclusive global celebration of its 100-year legacy, which landed in Miami in early May. This prestigious by-appointment-only event welcomed discerning clients to immerse themselves in the Maison’s storied heritage. The “World of Fendi 2025” first kicked off in March of this year and will continue through November with a grand tour spanning Seoul, Suzhou, Rome, Miami, and beyond, ultimately fostering a client-connection like never before.

Through a bespoke made-to-order experience, guests immerse themselves in Fendi’s masterful craftsmanship in leather goods, fur, and high jewelry, where tradition meets avant-garde innovation. Highlighting the milestone, the event showcases re-editions of 10 iconic archival designs — each a nod to a defining decade — alongside exquisite art deco-inspired creations rooted in Fendi’s 1925 origins, embodying the pinnacle of Italian luxury.

LEATHER GOODS

A true focal point of “World of Fendi 2025,” is the leather goods collection. Fendi reimagines 10 iconic bags from its archives, each representing a decade of the Maison’s history: including the Adele, the first handbag created by Fendi in 1925, to the La Pasta handbag (1985-1995) designed by Karl Lagerfeld, to the more recent signature bags like the Baguette (1995-2005) and the Peekaboo (2015-2025). Designed in supple crocodile leather and canvas ivory Pergamena, the bags can be personalized by clients, who are invited to choose from 10 vibrant hues and finishes like metal degrade, 3D floral embroideries, and inlayed mink, blending creativity with the expert artistry of Fendi’s in-house artisans. This made-to-order collection elevates luxury with exotic leathers, intricate art deco patterns, and coveted accessories like interchangeable handles, transcending beyond the handbag into a cherished heirloom.

FUR LEGACY

Fendi also explores its rich history as a furrier. Since 1925, Fendi’s virtuoso artisans have collaborated with visionary women and designers to create furs that exude lightness, joy, and tactile delight;this collection reimagines 10 archival masterpieces, each a milestone in the Maison’s design history. For the “World of Fendi 2025,” 10 archival pieces have also been selected, each representing an integral milestone in design history, like the 1967 Pequin by Karl Lagerfeld, the 1972 Unlined Inlay, and the 1997 Embroidery, which set the stage for the future embellishments Fendi fur is known for.

For women, art deco-inspired geometric and floral patterns, crafted with intricate inlay, Gheronato, shibori, shaved mink, and lace techniques, adorn mink, sable, and chinchilla, evoking blooming gardens and playful energy, while high fur garments with color-block effects nod to the iconic Selleria 1925. For men, vibrant inlays, macro leather stitching, and exotic leathers like croco with nabuk and iridescent finishes embody Fendi’s pioneering spirit, with bold FF shadow and block intarsia, denim-mimicking mink, and timeless chinchilla and Swakara pieces showcasing the Maison’s signature codes.

Capturing Roman elegance and lyrical sophistication, the high jewelry collection fuses nature and architecture with opulent minimalism and intricate jewel tones to create timeless heirlooms. The collection’s highlight, “Les Cinq Doigts d’une Main,” honors family and feminine strength with bold statement rings inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s 1974 sketch of the five Fendi sisters, reflecting their distinctive personalities.

Get To Know Dr. Alexandra Condé Green And Her GoTo Treatment For Natural Beauty

BY GRACE SARKISIAN

WITH A PASSPORT FULL OF EXPERIENCE AND A TOOLKIT OF transformative techniques, Dr. Alexandra Condé Green is your go-to for modern, natural-looking results. With over 15 years of expertise and dual training in both the United States and Brazil, she is a recognized leader in regenerative plastic surgery. From lecturing internationally to publishing articles, chapters, and a book on fat grafting, Dr. Condé Green brings unmatched precision and passion to every procedure she performs. And when it comes to her favorite treatment, fat grafting takes center stage.

Dr. Condé Green’s medical journey is as dynamic as her practice. She began her training at the University of the State of Haiti before completing two plastic surgery residencies: one at the world-renowned Ivo Pitanguy Institute in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and another at Rutgers University in New Jersey. She also completed a fellowship at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.

Now based in Boca Raton at her boutique practice ACG Plastic Surgery, Dr. Condé Green continues to apply her refined technique and global knowledge to help patients of all backgrounds achieve beautifully personalized results. Her multilingual fluency (she speaks French, English, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, and has a working knowledge of Spanish) helps her connect deeply with a diverse clientele, ensuring that every patient feels seen, heard, and understood.

So what exactly is fat grafting and why is it such a standout treatment?

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a natural, long-lasting method of restoring volume using a patient’s own fat. It consists in removing fat from areas that have excess fat like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, preparing the fat, and injecting it into areas that need volume. This includes hollow cheeks, sunken under-eyes, thinning lips, the breasts, the gluteal region, and even aging hands. It’s a holistic approach that not only restores youthful contours but also improves skin quality thanks to the regenerative power of the body’s own fat cells.

Compared to traditional fillers, fat grafting offers longer-lasting results with a more natural look and feel. Since the material comes from your own body, there’s minimal risk of reaction and maximum harmony with your

existing tissues. It’s a win-win: you reduce volume where you don’t want it and gain it where you do.

Recovery is typically smooth, with mild swelling and bruising that may persist for one to two weeks, followed by gradual improvement in results over several months. And for those who are concerned about introducing foreign substances into their body, fat grafting offers peace of mind by using what’s already yours to enhance what you love.

In addition to fat grafting, Dr. Condé Green offers a full range of procedures including facelifts, neck lifts, eyelid surgery, body contouring, breast lifts and reductions, labioplasty, and injectables. Her expertise in regenerative plastic surgery allows her to deliver subtle yet stunning transformations that align with each patient’s unique goals.

Whether you’re looking to restore facial volume, rejuvenate your skin, or combine body sculpting with a naturally enhanced appearance, fat grafting may be the perfect solution, and there’s no better guide than Dr. Condé Green to help you achieve it.

DIOR BEAUTY CONTINUES ITS U.S. EXPANSION WITH THE OPENING OF A NEW LUXURIOUS BOUTIQUE AT BRICKELL CITY CENTRE.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

This year has been pivotal for Dior Beauty, marked by the opening of new boutiques across the United States, from South Coast Plaza to SoHo to Miami. These boutiques transcend traditional beauty retail, embodying Dior Beauty’s commitment to redefining the shopping experience in 2025.

Like its sister boutiques, the Dior Beauty boutique at Brickell City Centre draws inspiration from the House of Dior’s storied legacy, capturing the timeless allure of 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris, the iconic birthplace of Dior’s couture vision since 1946.

The boutique’s design harmoniously blends marble, refined fabrics, and gilded metal, crafting an atmosphere of unparalleled sophistication that elevates Dior’s exquisite fragrance, makeup, and skincare collections.

The focal point of this immersive retail experience is a fragrance discovery atelier, envisioned by Dior perfume creation director Francis Kurkdjian. Here, La Collection Privée Christian Dior takes center stage, an exclusive assortment of olfactory silhouettes where the artistry of fragrance and couture intertwine. These unique creations are complemented by customizable accessories, including fragrance trunks, cases, and caps, alongside a curated selection of fashion accents such as sunglasses, jewelry, and the iconic Mitzah scarves. Dior’s legendary fragrances — Miss Dior, J’adore, Sauvage, and Dior Homme — further elevate the exploration.

Exclusivity defines the boutique’s offerings, with products like Les Récoltes Majeures Le Muguet, a fragrant tribute to the delicate Lily of the Valley, and the Rouge Premier Malle d’Exception, a masterful reimagining of Dior’s iconic designs, crafted in collaboration with renowned artists and artisans, that exemplify the Maison’s savoir-faire and dedication to couture excellence.

The boutique also invites guests into the incredibly innovative world of Dior Makeup, curated by creative and image director for Dior Makeup Peter Philips. An array of boundary-pushing products, including the coveted Rouge Dior, Dior Forever, and Dior Backstage lines, are offered at the boutique. In addition, Dior’s pioneering skincare innovations — L’Or de Vie, Dior Prestige, and Dior Capture — reflect the visionary ethos of Dior Science, delivering transformative luxury to the skin.

Completing the Dior dream, the boutique offers bespoke, one-to-one services in makeup, fragrance, and skincare, ensuring an intimate and tailored experience for every client. This new beauty haven at Brickell City Centre celebrates Dior’s legacy, where beauty, artistry, and innovation converge in the Magic City.

A New Moon Over Hollywood Beach

BY AMY ROSSETTI

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SOUTH FLORIDA’S STORIED HISTORY, HOLLYWOOD BEACH is welcoming a new level of luxury with Hollywood Moon, an exclusive collection of boutique oceanfront residences redefining coastal sophistication.

Perfectly poised at 901 S Ocean Drive, Hollywood Moon offers a serene alternative to Miami Beach, where privacy, ease, and barefoot luxury converge. Residents can begin their mornings with sunrise over the Atlantic and toast to golden sunsets melting into the Intracoastal. Here, every moment is framed by water and wonder.

The development’s location is second to none, nestled on a distinctive barrier island alongside the beaches of Miami Beach, Sunny Isles, and Fort Lauderdale. But what truly sets Hollywood Moon apart is its rare intimacy: there are only 48 residences, each with sweeping wraparound terraces and dual waterfront views that capture the rhythm of the tides and the poetry of the horizon.

Award-winning interior designer Carla Guilhem — renowned for her 2023 BOAT Award for Best Interior Yacht Design — brings her signature sense of elevated minimalism to the interiors. The architecture, crafted by the acclaimed Adache Group, blends timeless elegance with modern sensibility, rooted in five decades of global expertise in luxury hospitality and multi-residential design.

Spanning more than 20,000 square feet, the amenity collection rivals that of a five-star resort: an oceanfront pool, luxury spa with dry and steam saunas, chef’s kitchen, a fitness center, and an outdoor cocktail lounge where the glow of the moon reflects over the water.

For those seeking refined seclusion and long-term value in one of South Florida’s most exclusive beachfront enclaves, Hollywood Moon presents a rare buying opportunity. With limited new development along this cherished stretch of sand, it’s a chance to own something truly celestial.

As Hollywood Beach continues its quiet transformation, Hollywood Moon marks the beginning of a luminous new chapter, where life moves to the rhythm of the tides and luxury meets the light.

Luxury Living at Sea

BY MARISA MARCUS

IMAGINE A LIFESTYLE WHERE EVERY SUNRISE BRINGS A NEW view, and your home travels the world with you. That’s the promise of Crescent Seas, the new residential cruise line from real estate pioneer Russell Galbut. Known for transforming urban landscapes with Crescent Heights and with over 50 years of real estate experience, along with 23 years in the cruise industry, including six as chairman of the board at Norwegian Cruise Line, Galbut now embarks on a new journey, bringing luxury living to the open sea.

At the heart of this groundbreaking venture is the Navigator, a reimagined residential cruise ship set to debut in December 2026. Formerly the Regent Seven Seas Navigator, this vessel is undergoing a $50 million transformation to offer 210 private residences, each designed with elegance and comfort in mind. Prices ranging from $1.2 million to $8 million, providing a range of options for discerning buyers. Residents will enjoy white-glove butler service, Starlink internet connectivity, and a host of amenities tailored for a life of adventure and relaxation.

With 70 percent of the planet covered by water, it’s no surprise that a life of travel by sea is becoming the next frontier for those seeking a more expansive, dynamic way to live. With planned around-the-world itineraries that span over 140 cities across all seven continents, the experience offers a unique opportunity to see the world without ever leaving home. Unlike traditional cruises, Crescent Seas is designed for more meaningful travel with extended port stays of up to four days.

To bring this vision to life for future residents, Crescent Seas has opened an immersive 180-degree sales gallery in the heart of downtown Miami. Located on the eighth floor of the Gale Miami Hotel & Residences, the gallery offers a fully interactive experience, with virtual walk-throughs, tactile design elements, and expert consultations to help future residents explore the onboard lifestyle and what it is to own the ship.

Galbut, whose portfolio includes some of the most iconic properties in Miami like Forma, Five Park, and beyond, sees Crescent Seas as the next evolution in luxury real estate. Rather than building on new land, he’s rethinking how people live, travel, and connect, blending the comforts of high-end living with the thrill of exploration. The homes at sea are designed not just as vacation properties, but as fully livable, luxury residences for those seeking the yachting lifestyle and who value flexibility and global experiences. It’s a vision where connection becomes community, and the world becomes your neighborhood.

With additional ships on the horizon, including the Insignia, from the Oceania NCL fleet, and the brand’s first new build, The Ocean, Crescent Seas is creating a new category of residential living for the globally minded and redefining what it means to live at sea. For a growing number of modern travelers, who’ve traded traditional homes for back-to-back cruises, life at sea isn’t just a dream, it’s a lifestyle. Crescent Seas is making that lifestyle not only possible but permanent, blending luxury and global access in a way the real estate world has never seen, promising freedom without compromise. A life of luxury is set to sail December 2026.
