Homecoming

GROOMING LESLIE MUNSELL

SHOT ON LOCATION AT BOUCHON BISTRO, CORAL GABLES, FL

Thomas Keller once swore he’d never return to South Florida. The region of his youth, as he recalls, “wasn’t a place like it is today — there wasn’t a lot of culinary opportunity for me in the early ‘80s.” But decades later, The French Laundry and Per Se icon has come back — not just to open restaurants, but to build community. With The Surf Club Restaurant and now Bouchon in Coral Gables, Keller is rewriting Miami’s culinary future in the very place he once left behind.

It’s a homecoming decades in the making, and one Keller himself never anticipated. When he left South Florida in the early 1980s to pursue his culinary ambitions — first in New York, then France, then back to New York, and finally California — he did so with a sense of finality. There simply wasn’t the infrastructure, the culture, or the opportunity for a young cook with grand ambitions. “I swore I would never go back to Florida,” he says now, with the clarity that only hindsight affords. The region that shaped his earliest years in the industry had no place in the vision he was building for himself. So he moved on, and for years, he didn’t look back.

What he built in the decades that followed redefined American fine dining. Keller became the first and only American-born chef to hold multiple three-star ratings from the prestigious Michelin Guide — a feat that positioned him alongside the world’s most elite culinary talents. His accolades read like a roll call of the industry’s highest honors: The Culinary Institute of America’s “Chef of the Year,” the James Beard Foundation’s “Outstanding Chef” and “Outstanding Restaurateur” awards, honorary doctorates from Johnson & Wales University and The Culinary Institute of America. France itself recognized his contributions, designating him a Chevalier of The French Legion of Honor — the first American male chef to receive the distinction. He led Team USA to its first-ever gold medal at the Bocuse d’Or, the biennial competition regarded as the Olympics of the culinary world. And, with more than 1.6 million copies of his cookbooks in print, including the recently released The French Laundry, Per Se, Keller isn’t just a chef: he’s an institution.

But South Florida changed. And so did Keller’s relationship to it. The turning point came through friendship — a persistent one. A close friend who visited him regularly at The French Laundry kept

urging him to reconsider. “He would always say, you need to come back to Florida,” Keller recalls. “And I would always brush aside the idea, thinking I’m not coming back to Florida.” Until the Surf Club opportunity emerged. Even then, he resisted — until he visited the property and discovered its history. Suddenly, the idea of returning didn’t feel like a concession. It felt like destiny.

The Surf Club Restaurant wasn’t just another luxury hotel project. It was one of the most legendary social destinations in the world during the 1940s and ‘50s, a magnet for high society, debutante balls, and Old Hollywood glamour. “The whole history of the Surf Club fascinated me,” Keller says. It was the perfect home for his TAK Room concept — a continental cuisine restaurant rooted in the kind of elegant, old-world establishments his mother managed when he was a child. The concept had already been refined through multiple iterations aboard Seabourn cruise ships, but The Surf Club Restaurant became its first land-based expression. “There would be no better place to launch TAK Room than at the Surf Club,” he reflects. The name stayed, honoring the property’s storied past, but the soul of the restaurant was unmistakably Keller’s: precise, evocative, deeply American yet shaped by European influence.

Seven years later, The Surf Club Restaurant remains a cornerstone of Keller’s South Florida presence — a restaurant that has not only endured but thrived. And now, with Bouchon in Coral Gables, he’s deepened his roots in the region, this time with a concept built entirely around community.

“For me, Bouchon has always been a community restaurant,” Keller explains. “I really wanted to make a connection with the community in Coral Gables and those individuals there — making sure that we embed ourselves in these locations where friends, families especially, and colleagues can get together to enjoy a great meal and a great environment.” It’s a philosophy that distinguishes Bouchon from his three-Michelin-star temples like The French Laundry and Per Se. This isn’t about haute cuisine theatrics or tasting menu pyrotechnics. It’s about something more timeless: the French bistro, rendered with integrity and warmth.

The location itself was part of the attraction. Bouchon occupies La Palma, a historic building dating back to 1928. “I’m always attracted to historic locations,” Keller says. There’s a reverence in his voice when he talks about these spaces — places with memory, with soul, with stories etched into their walls. For Keller, restaurants are never just venues. They are custodians of culture, and the buildings that house them matter as much as the food that emerges from their kitchens. Inside, every detail evokes the spirit of a Parisian bistro: the materials, the colors, the lighting, the energy. “We wanted to establish that through its design elements,” Keller says. “The way it feels, the energy that’s created there — it’s all about being representative of a French urban bistro.” But while the aesthetic channels Paris, the ethos is unmistakably Keller’s. The menu is rooted in classic French bistro cuisine: onion soup, pâté, roasted chicken, lamb, escargot, an oyster bar. These are dishes with deep cultural roots, but they’re executed with a modern sensibility — lighter, healthier, more thoughtful about sourcing and technique. “Modern cuisine is much lighter, certainly much healthier, in terms of what we’re able to produce,” he notes. “But it is a French bistro, and we wanted to establish that.”

The team assembled to bring this vision to life is as carefully curated as the menu. Chef de cuisine Garrett Rochowiak came from Bouchon in Yountville. Executive sous chef Neil Ybarra arrived from Las Vegas. General manager Erin Rouchi and maître d’ William Hoff anchor the dining room, alongside beverage director Michel Couvreux. “Between the four of them, and Michel who works at Bouchon quite often, they’re a significant part of that restaurant and how we interact with our neighbors and our friends,” Keller says. “That’s really the most important thing about building a restaurant in Coral Gables.” It’s a close-knit team, bound by shared values and a collective commitment to hospitality. For Keller, that’s not incidental — it’s foundational.

But Bouchon isn’t just about preserving French tradition. It’s also about honoring the relationships that make that tradition possible. Keller speaks with deep admiration about the farmers, fishermen, foragers, and gardeners who supply his restaurants — many of whom he’s worked with for decades. Keith Martin at Elysian Fields Farm has been supplying lamb to Keller’s restaurants for years, raising the animals holistically. “We want to represent France in its glory,” Keller says, “but we’re always modernizing it with our ingredients and our techniques.” It’s a delicate balance: respecting the past while embracing the present, honoring tradition while pushing it forward.

There’s a brunch at Bouchon Las Vegas that regulars speak about in near-reverential tones. The same attention to detail, the same devotion to craft, defines the Coral Gables location. It’s not about reinvention for its own sake. It’s about consistency, excellence, and the quiet pleasure of a meal done right. “A French bistro is what it is,” Keller says. “But we want to represent it in its entirety and not have deviations as many restaurants do these days. You know, a twist on this or a twist on that. We wanted to represent France in its glory.”

For Keller, the decision to open two restaurants in South Florida wasn’t just strategic — it was personal. “Having two restaurants in one location helps me when I visit South Florida,” he explains. “Rather than having restaurants in different cities or different locations around the country, I prefer to consolidate my efforts in a location which I really believe in. And as you know, South Florida is a location that I truly believe in.” The Surf Club Restaurant has been open for seven years. Bouchon in Coral Gables is still establishing itself. Together, they represent not just an expansion of Keller’s empire, but a homecoming — a return to the place that once felt too small, now reimagined as grounds for legacy-building.

“Success for me is not about fame and fortune. Success is about giving people memories.”

But Keller is quick to note that success isn’t measured solely in revenue or accolades. “We’ve been very happy with the quality of the work that our teams are doing to produce great food, wonderful service, and a beautiful environment, and giving our guests great memories,” he says. Memories — that word comes up again and again in conversation with Keller. For him, the ultimate metric of success isn’t a Michelin star or a packed reservation book. It’s whether a guest leaves with something lasting. “Success for me is not about fame and fortune,” he says. “Success is about giving people memories. If you can give somebody a memory that lasts — that’s a lifelong, life-lasting memory. And that experience will be with them until the day they die. That’s a beautiful thing to think about: the impact that we have on others.”

It’s a philosophy shaped, in part, by the lessons his mother imparted when he was young — lessons he still carries with him. “What my mother taught me as a young person in South Florida has been with me my entire life,” Keller reflects. “Dedication to the craft of what you’re doing. Paying attention to the details. Always paying attention to the details. Never, never giving up.” That last phrase — never give up — is something of a personal mantra. It appears on his golf hat. It’s woven into the way he approaches his work. “If you give up, then there’s no opportunity to move forward,” he says simply. “So never give up. Continue to move forward.”

Those lessons have served him well, particularly during the inevitable setbacks. Keller is candid about the challenges he’s faced, including the closure of Bouchon Beverly Hills after eight-and-a-half years. “It’s a difficult thing, especially for me, because I get really emotionally attached to my restaurants and, more, emotionally attached to the teams that are there and being able to support them in their endeavors and their goals,” he says. Losing a restaurant isn’t just a business loss — it’s personal. But even in those moments, the lesson his mother taught him holds: keep moving forward.

These days, Keller spends most of his time at home in Yountville, where The French Laundry remains the beating heart of his culinary universe. He’s there about 280 days a year, often in the restaurant for hours at a time — sometimes the entire day. “What interests me is my team,” he says. “Being able to interact with the young chefs, the young dining room team, and just share examples of what we do and how we do things and really how easy it is to make people happy. A smile on your face when they walk in the door. Giving them great service and good food. Listening to them. Giving them an opportunity to engage in conversation — not just the mechanical, robotic kind of system, but actually something they get emotionally attached to and developing memories for people.”

For Keller, hospitality is the soul of the work. “Service is number one, always,” he insists. “Food is number two or number three in some of these memories and experiences. I’ve told my team for decades that service is number one. Being able to give great service — people will always come back. Giving great food with poor service, people won’t come back.” It’s a conviction born from decades of observation, refinement, and an unwavering belief that restaurants are, at their core, about human connection.

That connection extends beyond the dining room. Keller draws surprising parallels between cooking and golf — two pursuits that, on the surface, seem worlds apart. “Cooking to me is a lot like golf,” he explains. “There are many similarities. It’s a process. It takes time. The transformation of food is the most interesting part — the process of braising beef, roasting a chicken. These things take focus, attention, preparation, time, patience, and persistence to result in something beneficial to you and your guests. That’s the same with golf.” Both

demand attentiveness. Both reward practice. Both require you to be fully present. “I’m totally immersed in the moment,” Keller confides. “I can’t be thinking about other things when I’m standing over a golf ball, and the same way I can’t be thinking about other things when I’m cooking.”

And somewhere in that practice of presence, his understanding of time shifted. For Keller, it has become the ultimate luxury — and the ultimate teacher. “Time is something we take for granted in different parts of our lives. And then, as we start to mature and get older, we realize that time is the most important thing, and the choice of what you’re going to do with that time is even more critical. Making sure that you’re really thinking about what you want to do, executing on that, and being successful in using your time wisely.” It’s a hard-won wisdom, the kind that only comes from years spent mastering a craft, building a legacy, and learning what truly matters.

Behind him in his office hangs a wall full of awards — plaques, trophies, certificates from a career that has redefined American fine dining. Among them: his James Beard Foundation honors, his Chevalier designation, reminders of that Bocuse d’Or gold medal. But Keller is quick to contextualize them. “Those are all things I did yesterday,” he says. “Any accolade that you receive today is for what you did yesterday. And so all of this stuff here is literally behind me — metaphorically, they’re behind me. I just want to move on.” It’s a striking sentiment from someone who has achieved so much: the refusal to rest on laurels, the insistence on forward motion, the belief that the best work is always still ahead.

And yet, for all his focus on the future, Keller is deeply concerned with the present — specifically, the fragility of the restaurant industry and the importance of supporting the people who make it possible. “If you want good restaurants in your community, you have to support them,” he says with urgency. “There are so many young chefs, so many young restaurateurs who really struggle. They’re only busy Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, and the rest of the week they’re struggling to make payroll. We need — if we want restaurants, if we want really good restaurants — we have to support them. We have to pay for them. We have to be committed to visiting them. Otherwise, you’re not going to have good restaurants. It’s just that simple.”

It’s less about “if you build it, they will come,” and more about “if you support them, they will stay.” For Keller, the longevity of a restaurant depends not just on the chef’s talent or the quality of the food, but on the community’s willingness to show up, to invest, to care. “Good restaurants aren’t just going to come to your community because you want them to,” he says. “They’ll come to your community because you’re supporting them.”

That ethos — community, commitment, connection — is what defines Keller’s return to South Florida. The Surf Club Restaurant and Bouchon aren’t just restaurants. They’re gathering places, landmarks, institutions in the making. They’re spaces where memories are forged, where strangers become regulars, where the act of breaking bread becomes something transcendent. And they’re proof that sometimes, the places we leave behind are the ones we’re meant to return to — not as we left them, but as we’ve become.

In South Florida, Thomas Keller has come full circle. The region that couldn’t hold him in his youth now anchors a new chapter of his legacy — one built not on accolades, but on presence. On showing up. On nurturing a community that, decades ago, he swore he’d never see again. It’s a homecoming earned through perseverance, shaped by time, and rooted in the belief that great restaurants aren’t just places to eat. They’re places to belong.

“If you give up, then there’s no opportunity to move forward. So never give up. Continue to move forward.”

2026 Aston Martin Roadster

BY TIM LAPPEN

IS THERE A CREATOR OF MORE BEAUTIFUL CARS THAN ASTON MARTIN?

Beauty, of course, is in the eye of the driver (and passenger), but I’ve loved virtually every Aston since the DB2 of the early 1950s — and they’ve only become sleeker and more stunning over time. The inspired cross-marketing of James Bond and the Aston Martin DB5 elevated the brand exponentially. After all, who wouldn’t want some of Q’s gadgets for the morning commute?

In the real world, the DB lineage has now reached the DB12, and today’s models are more sculpted and powerful than ever. While Aston still offers V12s, most modern models are powered by the brand’s refined twin-turbo V8 — a mainstay that provides ample punch. The car in focus here, the Vantage Roadster, puts that engine to excellent use:

• Horsepower: 670 hp

• Torque: 590 lb-ft

• Top speed: 202 mph

• 0–60 mph: 3.6 seconds

• Base price: $205,900

But the Vantage Roadster is more than a steroidal supercar. With a stance that declares “Right Now,” its scoops, creases, aero bits, and long-

hood/short-deck proportions telegraph the performance ahead. Despite weighing a solid 3,980 pounds, its near-perfect 49/51 front-rear balance gives it exceptional poise in high-speed corners. (Note: no speed limits were knowingly ignored in the creation of this article.)

“My” Vantage wore Satin Iridescent Sapphire, a matte blue that shimmered differently in every light, paired with a black fabric convertible top. Inside, navy blue semi-aniline leather — soft, rich, and lightly finished for a natural look — created a cabin of restrained elegance. Satin-black forged wheels, carbon-fiber accents, smokedchrome badging, and dark-chrome jewelry completed the picture. Options added roughly $100,000, bringing the total to $309,100 — and worth every cent of visual drama.

Driving the Roadster (Aston departs from its usual “Volante” naming here) is a pleasure before the engine even starts. The lines demand admiration; the finish invites touch. Opening the door reveals craftsmanship of the highest order — every surface a testament to British design and material excellence. Once seated, you’re enveloped in a cockpit that feels both luxurious and purposeful.

On the road, the Vantage’s adjustability impresses. A twist of a single dial transforms the car from quiet cruiser to track weapon, altering exhaust note, suspension firmness, and transmission response on demand.

I am lucky to have Malibu Canyon and the legendary Mulholland Highway within easy reach — ideal territory to explore what the Vantage can do. The Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers, capable of thousands of adjustments per second, flatten bumps and stabilize transitions from long sweepers to off-camber corners. The electronic rear differential (E-Diff) adjusts from fully open to fully locked in just a tenth of a second, optimizing traction whether accelerating hard or carving corners.

The result is part Downton Abbey, part Le Mans: a car of supreme luxury that can unleash fury at a moment’s notice. Despite its opulent cabin, the Vantage is startlingly quick and agile. Its blend of beauty, brawn, and balance makes one wonder — GT or sports car? The answer, delightfully, is yes. It’s whatever your right foot decides.

My time with the Vantage ended far too soon, but that’s the truest testament to its appeal. The looks, the sound, the feel — together they create an experience that’s as unforgettable as it is quintessentially Aston Martin.

THE HAUTE SPOTS OF 2026

2026 IS COMING IN HAUTE! HERE ARE THE SPOTS THAT HAUTE LIVING PROJECTS TO BE THE MOST EXCITING TRAVEL DESTINATIONS IN THE NEW YEAR.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

From the jungles of Costa Rica to the fjords of Patagonia, the shores of Sardinia to the Himalayan peaks of Bhutan, 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for global travel. Each of these destinations offers more than just a beautiful setting — they promise experiences that are immersive, transformative, and deeply tied to a sense of place. Whether it’s celebrating America’s 250th anniversary in Washington, D.C., discovering the frontier spirit of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea, or embracing barefoot luxury in José Ignacio, the common thread is clear: 2026 is the year to travel with intention and to seek out journeys that resonate long after the suitcase is unpacked.

PENINSULA PAPAGAYO, COSTA RICA

Costa Rica has long been synonymous with “pura vida,” but Peninsula Papagayo is fast becoming the country’s most magnetic luxury destination — and 2026 promises to be its defining year. Tucked along the country’s northwestern coastline, this biodiverse stretch of Pacific paradise blends lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and worldclass adventure, attracting a new wave of high-end travelers seeking experiences as soulful as they are spectacular. With direct flights from major U.S. hubs and a commitment to sustainable development, the region is primed to rival global luxury favorites from St. Barts to Bali.

STAY AT:

NEKAJUI, A RITZ-CARLTON RESERVE

Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, has quickly established itself as the region’s premier luxury destination. The 2025 opening marked the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Central and South America and a significant milestone for Peninsula Papagayo. The resort, developed by The Athens Group, offers 107 ocean-view rooms and suites, treetop tents, and Ritz-Carlton Reserve Residences, paired with seven distinct dining venues, a private beach club, and the serene Nimbu Spa as well as Latin America’s largest hydrotherapy pool.

TORRES DEL PAINE, CHILE

Few destinations embody the raw power and beauty of nature like Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia. With its jagged granite peaks, turquoise lakes, vast glaciers, and roaming guanacos, it’s a landscape that feels almost otherworldly. Already beloved by trekkers and adventure seekers, Torres del Paine is now stepping onto the global stage as one of the most coveted luxury adventure escapes for 2026. Accessibility is easier than ever, with new air connections into Puerto Natales, while sustainable hospitality projects are putting this wild frontier firmly on the radar of high-end travelers.

Guests can spend their days trout fishing on Lake Taupō, hiking volcanic trails, or simply savoring the tranquility of the Lodge’s gardens. 271 Huka Falls Road, Wairakei, Taupō 3377, New Zealand

COSTA SMERALDA, SARDINIA

Italy’s Costa Smeralda, on the sun-drenched northeast coast of Sardinia, has long been synonymous with dolce vita glamour. Since the 1960s, this emerald-fringed coastline has drawn royalty, celebrities, and jetsetters for its crystalline waters, hidden coves, and vibrant nightlife. Now, with renewed attention on Mediterranean escapes, Costa Smeralda is poised to reclaim its place as one of Europe’s most indemand luxury destinations in 2026. Travelers are increasingly looking for stylish yet soulful experiences — something Sardinia delivers in spades, blending breathtaking natural beauty with centuries-old traditions, world-class sailing, and a distinctive culinary culture rooted in the island’s heritage.

STAY AT: BELMOND HOTEL ROMAZZINO

At the center of this revival is the Belmond Hotel Romazzino, an icon of Costa Smeralda hospitality. Originally opened in the 1960s and reimagined for a new era, the property combines timeless elegance with a modern sense of place. Nestled along a secluded stretch of white-sand beach, the Romazzino offers Mediterranean-style suites and villas with sweeping sea views, lush gardens, and interiors infused with Sardinian craftsmanship.

The hotel’s private beach club and curated local excursions ensure every stay feels both exclusive and authentically Sardinian. Via Romazzino, 4, 07021 Arzachena SS, Italy

THE RED SEA, SAUDI ARABIA

Once one of the world’s most uncharted travel frontiers, Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast is rapidly becoming a headline-making destination for 2026. With its pristine coral reefs, sweeping desert landscapes, and sustainable development vision, the region is redefining what luxury travel can look like. Travelers are increasingly drawn to its promise of untouched nature and immersive cultural experiences, paired with ambitious eco-conscious hospitality projects that place regeneration at the heart of design. For discerning globetrotters, The Red Sea is fast becoming one of the most compelling new destinations on the global map.

Guests can choose from desert villas or suites, each designed for maximum privacy and panoramic views. Experiences range from stargazing under some of the world’s clearest night skies to camel treks across shifting sands, along with curated wellness journeys at the Six Senses Spa. A culinary program rooted in regional flavors and produce completes the sense of immersion. The Red Sea Development, Umluj 48321, Saudi Arabia

MONTENEGRO

Long known as the hidden gem of the Adriatic, Montenegro is rapidly becoming one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations for 2026. With its dramatic mountain-meets-sea landscapes, medieval walled towns, and sun-dappled bays, the country offers a blend of Riviera glamour and authentic Balkan charm. Once overshadowed by neighboring Croatia, Montenegro is now attracting discerning travelers with a new wave of luxury openings, yacht-filled marinas, and a culinary scene rooted in both coastal Mediterranean and inland traditions. Add in its accessibility — just an hour from Dubrovnik’s international airport — and Montenegro is poised for its biggest year yet.

STAY AT: ONE&ONLY PORTONOVI

At the heart of this rise is the One&Only Portonovi, the brand’s first resort in Europe and a destination in its own right. Positioned on the sparkling Boka Bay, often called Europe’s southernmost fjord, the property captures the essence of Montenegrin glamour with contemporary design, sweeping Adriatic views, and lush gardens that flow into the waterfront. The resort offers elegant rooms, suites, and private villas with pools, as well as world-class dining that highlights fresh Adriatic seafood and global influences. A major draw is the Chenot Espace Wellness Centre, where guests can embark on personalized programs blending advanced science and holistic traditions. With a private beach, marina access, and curated excursions to Montenegro’s historic villages and UNESCO sites, One&Only Portonovi delivers both sophistication and sense of place.

WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A.

In 2026, Washington, D.C. will take center stage as the nation marks the 250th anniversary of American independence. Beyond its role as the political capital, the city is preparing for a yearlong celebration that blends history, culture, and modern vibrancy. Special exhibitions, immersive programs, and grand festivities on the National Mall will transform D.C. into a living stage for the semiquincentennial, drawing visitors from around the world. Paired with the city’s thriving dining and drinking scene, revitalized neighborhoods, and ever-expanding arts and music offerings, the anniversary positions Washington not just as a seat of power, but as one of 2026’s most compelling global destinations.

STAY AT: INTERCONTINENTAL THE WILLARD WASHINGTON D.C.

At the heart of it all is Willard InterContinental, a storied icon that has been hosting presidents, dignitaries, and luminaries since 1818. Just steps from the White House and the National Mall, Willard InterContinental blends its legendary history with modern elegance, offering guests both a front-row seat to the city’s cultural pulse and a serene retreat from it. The hotel features sophisticated rooms and suites steeped in history, along with renowned dining at Café du Parc, a French bistro with a quintessential D.C. terrace. Afternoon tea in Willard’s Peacock Alley is a beloved tradition, while Round Robin Bar remains one of the capital’s most iconic gathering places. 1401 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20004, USA

JOSÉ IGNACIO, URUGUAY

Once a sleepy fishing village, José Ignacio has become South America’s most coveted beach town — an effortlessly chic hideaway where bohemian spirit meets understated luxury. Located on Uruguay’s southeastern coast, just a short drive from Punta del Este, José Ignacio has evolved into a magnet for artists, entrepreneurs, and jet-setters drawn by its wide sandy beaches, barefoot lifestyle, and world-class food scene. In 2026, the destination is poised to shine brighter than ever, thanks to growing international awareness of Uruguay’s vibrant culture, progressive spirit, and idyllic summer season that runs from December through March.

STAY AT: ESTANCIA VIK

Anchoring the region’s allure is Estancia Vik, a remarkable property that redefines the idea of a country retreat. Set on 4,000 acres of rolling countryside just minutes from the beach, the estancia combines traditional ranch architecture with bold contemporary art, making it both a cultural landmark and a luxurious escape. Each of the 12 suites is individually designed by a different Uruguayan artist in collaboration with Alex and Carrie Vik, transforming the property into a living gallery. Guests can ride horses across vast pampas, enjoy polo matches, or take part in authentic asados — long, leisurely Uruguayan barbecues. At the same time, the property offers seamless access to José Ignacio’s renowned restaurants, beach clubs, and laid-back nightlife. Cam.

BHUTAN

Long a destination for intrepid travelers, Bhutan is truly now stepping into the global spotlight in 2026. Nestled deep in the Himalayas, the kingdom remains one of the few destinations where culture and environment are preserved with extraordinary care. With its dramatic monasteries perched on cliffs, pristine valleys, and its guiding philosophy of “Gross National Happiness,” Bhutan offers travelers a rare chance to experience authenticity and tranquility in equal measure. As access improves and interest in mindful, purposeful journeys grows, Bhutan is fast becoming a must on discerning travelers’ lists. Getting there is just part of the rewarding journey.

STAY AT:

SIX

SENSES BHUTAN

Anchoring the experience is Six Senses Bhutan, a collection of five lodges spread across the country’s most spectacular valleys: Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey, Bumthang, and Paro. Designed to be explored in sequence, the lodges create a seamless journey through Bhutan’s diverse landscapes and cultural heritage. Each reflects its setting — whether it’s a forested sanctuary in Punakha, a misty retreat in Gangtey, or a cliffside perch in Paro — while maintaining the Six Senses hallmarks of understated luxury and holistic wellness. Guests can trek to ancient temples, participate in traditional rituals, or simply soak in the stillness of Bhutan’s valleys. Spa treatments, farm-to-table dining, and immersive cultural experiences ensure every moment feels both grounding and transformative. Chunimeding, Babesa, Chang Gewog, Thimphu, 11001, Bhutan

OKINAWA, JAPAN

Japan has long captured the world’s imagination, but next year, all eyes will be on Okinawa as the country’s most exciting luxury escape. Known for its turquoise seas, white-sand beaches, and vibrant coral reefs, Okinawa is also famed for its rich cultural traditions and status as a “Blue Zone,” where longevity and well-being are deeply rooted in daily life. Once considered a hidden gem compared to Tokyo and Kyoto, Okinawa is now stepping into the spotlight thanks to its natural beauty, laid-back island culture, and growing roster of luxury hotels and wellness-driven experiences.

STAY AT: ROSEWOOD MIYAKOJIMA

At the forefront of this evolution is the Rosewood Miyakojima, which will open in 2026 on one of Okinawa’s most pristine outer islands. Nestled along untouched coastlines, one of 2026’s most hotly anticipated openings blends Rosewood’s signature elegance with the island’s natural rhythm and traditions. The property will feature private villas with ocean views, each designed with a contemporary aesthetic that honors local craftsmanship. Guests will enjoy multiple dining venues showcasing Okinawan flavors and Japanese culinary artistry, a Rosewood Asaya spa offering transformative wellness programs, and curated excursions that connect travelers with the island’s culture — from diving among coral reefs to exploring sacred Ryukyu heritage sites.

The Monterey Reborn

With its sculptural pebble case, luminous white Grand Feu enamel dial, and a new automatic movement crafted at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, Louis Vuitton’s Monterey returns as a study in heritage, innovation, and timeless modernity.

BY SHELBY COMROE

Louis Vuitton revisits one of its most storied creations with the debut of the Monterey, a limited-edition timepiece that reimagines — yet fully elevates — the Maison’s first wristwatch from the late 1980s. What began as an avant-garde experiment in form has since become a collector’s obsession; now, the House brings it into the present with a richer technical vocabulary and the savoir-faire of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.

The Monterey appears in polished yellow gold, sculpted in the signature pebble silhouette conceived with the legendary architect Gae Aulenti. This new interpretation is anchored by a white Grand Feu enamel dial — a nod to the original’s graphic identity — paired with an in-house automatic movement that replaces the quartz caliber of its predecessors. Produced in an edition of just 188 pieces, it’s a true connoisseur’s object.

As Matthieu Hegi, artistic director at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, explains, the goal was forward motion rather than nostalgia: “Reinterpreting a creation means respecting its design and spirit. We maintain the same graphic codes but strive for a more modern and elevated feel.”

When Louis Vuitton introduced the LV I and LV II in 1988, they stood apart from the watchmaking landscape — unexpected forms, inventive displays, and a distinctly architectural point of view shaped by Aulenti’s hand. The LV I featured a lug-less, rounded case in precious metals, a railway track display, and world-time functionality. The LV II followed as a smaller, ceramic-driven evolution with added complications and a pocket-watch-style crown at 12 o’clock.

Almost instantly, the pieces developed a cult following. Collectors were drawn to their silhouette and personality, affectionately nicknaming them “Monterey,” an Americanized play on montre. Recently, the originals have resurfaced on the wrists of fashion insiders and cultural tastemakers — and even appeared on Nicolas Ghesquière’s Fall/Winter 2025 runway in Paris as a nod to the Maison’s design lineage.

The new Monterey refines the original’s daring spirit with a minimalist, time-only display powered by the in-house LFTMA01.02 automatic movement. Its 39mm yellow gold case preserves the iconic pebble form while inviting a heightened architectural presence. The brilliant white enamel dial maintains the red and blue accents of the 1988 model, preserving the rhythm and graphic clarity of the original.

Louis Vuitton’s devotion to craftsmanship is most evident in the Grand Feu enamel dial, created through layered enamel, repeated firings near 900°C, and meticulous hand application. The result is a crisp, opaline surface meant to stay radiant for generations. Syringestyle white gold hands with red lacquer, a blued-steel seconds hand, and dual signatures — “FAB. EN SUISSE” and “LOUIS VUITTON PARIS” — highlight the precision of the work.

The case is equally considered. Handmade and polished at La Fabrique des Boîtiers Louis Vuitton, the 39mm gold frame echoes the original’s purity while adding subtle refinements. The widened crown at 12 o’clock, finished with a Clous de Paris texture, offers distinct tactility. On the reverse, a quick-release strap system and the discreet “1 of 188” engraving reinforce the Monterey’s quiet luxury.

Inside, the LFTMA01.02 caliber reflects Louis Vuitton’s modern horological identity. Circular-grained plates, sandblasted bridges, and an 18K rose gold rotor with V-shaped notches — an homage to the LV Monogram — define the movement, complete with the poinçon LFT seal beneath the barrel. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 45hour power reserve and colorless sapphires for added transparency, it’s a mechanical heart that honors the past while speaking to today.

In the Monterey, Louis Vuitton achieves a rare equilibrium: a revival that feels neither nostalgic nor reconstructed, but confidently renewed. The enamel dial, pebble silhouette, pocket-watch crown, and leather attachment — each signature becomes richer through modern craftsmanship.

As Hegi notes, the watch “embodies a symbiosis between the old and the present,” carrying forward the audacity of the 1988 original while refining it for a contemporary audience that values design purity, emotion, and longevity.

By embracing its heritage while shaping it through today’s technical mastery, Louis Vuitton delivers a timepiece that feels both timeless and boldly forward-looking — an heirloom for collectors and a testament to the Maison’s enduring horological vision.

WHERE TIME TURNS TO

DIOR UNVEILS ITS MOST EXQUISITE SKINCARE CREATION YET, A TRANSFORMATIVE THREE-MONTH RITUAL SHAPED BY THE VITALITY OF CHÂTEAU D’YQUEM AND DESIGNED TO RENEW THE SKIN FROM WITHIN.

BY SHELBY COMROE

Dior has always treated skincare as an art form, and nowhere is that philosophy more evident than in its newest creation: L’Or de Vie Le Grand Cérémonial. Inspired by the rare vitality found in the grapes of Château d’Yquem — a place long regarded as a symbol of timelessness — this limited-edition ritual represents the most advanced, most concentrated interpretation of L’Or de Vie to date, transforming this three-month treatment into both a scientific breakthrough and a coveted collector’s piece.

The story begins at Yquem, where Dior scientists discovered a unique molecular richness capable of supporting the skin’s longevity functions. Over nearly two decades of research, the house has refined that discovery into Golden Drop Life Technology, the signature complex behind the L’Or de Vie line. With Le Grand Cérémonial, Dior elevates that innovation even further, using a rare concentration of Yquem extracts drawn from the latest harvest and meticulously blended to target the visible and structural signs of aging at their source.

The ritual unfolds in three elixirs, each designed to build upon the previous month’s transformation. The first brings revitalization with a light, fluid texture that helps reawaken the skin’s renewal process. The second introduces a sculpting, tightening effect that enhances definition and firmness. The third, richer and more cocooning, helps replenish density and elasticity, restoring the skin’s youthful architecture. Layer by layer, the complexion becomes smoother, brighter, and more lifted, revealing a radiance that feels revived from within.

To heighten the experience, Dior includes a sculpting massage tool created with its spa facialists. Adorned with the House’s cannage motif, the dual rotating beads glide along the contours of the face, enhancing absorption and amplifying the formula’s visible effects.

Presented in a handcrafted Murano glass case sealed with golden thread, Le Grand Cérémonial is Dior’s most exquisite tribute to the art of skincare — an homage to time, transformation, and the extraordinary craftsmanship at the heart of the House.

MISSONI EXPANDS ITS RETAIL FOOTPRINT WITH A NEW BOUTIQUE IN THE MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT

Missoni unveiled its stunning new boutique in Miami’s Design District, marking a significant milestone in the iconic Italian brand’s international retail expansion. Located at 112 NE 41st street, the 104-square-meter space reinforces Missoni’s presence in one of America’s most vibrant luxury destinations.

Designed by Lit Studio, the boutique masterfully balances contemporary edge with refined warmth. Exposed ceilings and cementresin flooring create an industrial foundation, while furnishings inspired by a modern home library invite intimate exploration. The result is a dialogue between raw architectural elements and sophisticated residential comfort.

A striking chromatic gradient defines the space — transitioning from a deep red ceiling to soft grey flooring — creating visual continuity from façade to interior. This signature color journey reflects Missoni’s legendary mastery of hue and pattern, translated into an immersive architectural experience.

Every textile detail honors the brand’s heritage: fabrics throughout are by Missoni Home, while walls feature Jannelli & Volpi for Missoni Home wallpaper, reinforcing the distinctive visual identity that has defined the maison for generations.

The boutique houses Missoni’s complete collections — womenswear and menswear ready-to-wear, accessories, beachwear, and home décor — offering Miami’s discerning clientele a curated selection that embodies the brand’s chromatic sophistication and timeless Italian craftsmanship.

The opening signals Miami’s continued evolution as a global fashion capital, where iconic heritage brands and contemporary design sensibility converge.

DISCOVER THE LATEST IN LUXURY FROM THE TENTH EDITION OF DIOR’S LADY ART TO LOUIS VUITTON’S NEW

FRAGRANCE.

BY SHELBY COMROE

LOUIS VUITTON

Louis Vuitton unveils Fantasmagory, a dreamlike new fragrance that brings imagination to life through the artistry of master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. Centered on vanilla, the scent reveals the raw material in all its facets — radiant, floral, and delicately smoky. A single drop evokes warmth and movement, unfolding like a story on the skin. With its sculptural bottle designed by Frank Gehry, Fantasmagory reflects the meeting of art and emotion at the heart of Louis Vuitton’s creative universe.

CHANEL

This winter, CHANEL brings a touch of Parisian polish to the California coast with a new seasonal boutique at Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito. Designed to reflect the area’s natural warmth and effortless charm, the space features ready-to-wear, accessories, and fine jewelry from the Cruise 2025/26 collection. With a tranquil garden and serene coastal views, the boutique blends laid-back elegance with timeless codes — a peaceful escape just steps from the ocean.

FENDI

FENDI revisits one of its most beloved icons with the debut of the Mini Spy Bag. Originally designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 2005, the cult favorite returns in a smaller, more refined shape that still carries the same playful attitude. Crafted in soft leather with the Spy’s signature twisted handles, the new mini version comes in classic shades like black and honey brown, along with bolder takes in bright red, baby pink, and a ponyhair leopard print. It’s a modern nod to a true early-2000s classic.

DIOR

Now in its tenth edition, Dior’s Lady Art project continues to blur the line between fashion and fine art, transforming the iconic Lady Dior into a canvas for creative expression. This anniversary chapter brings together ten international artists, each invited to reinterpret the House icon through their own lens of imagination and craft. Among them, Brazilian artist Sophia Loeb channels her deep connection to nature into four ethereal interpretations of the Lady Dior, each defined by rich textures and organic forms. From pearl-embroidered gardens to molten-red leather lined with a hidden painting, her creations evoke a quiet dialogue between humanity and the natural world.

FROM LOUIS TO VUITTON

EVERY MAISON HAS AN ORIGIN STORY. LOUIS VUITTON’S BEGINS WITH A 14-YEAR-OLD BOY WALKING FROM THE JURA TO PARIS. LOUIS TO VUITTON, THE HOUSE’S NEWEST ASSOULINE VOLUME, RETURNS TO THAT ICONIC JOURNEY THROUGH MORE THAN 300 IMAGES AND 54 DEFINING WORDS, DISTILLING 170 YEARS OF CREATION INTO A VISUAL AND EMOTIONAL NARRATIVE THAT CAN BE ENTERED FROM ANY PAGE.

BY SHELBY COMROE

PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

From Louis to Vuitton offers a richly visual look inside the Maison, tracing how its heritage and imagination have shaped 170 years of creation. Published by Assouline and written by Arthur Dreyfus — with a foreword by Pietro Beccari, President and CEO of Louis Vuitton — the volume brings together hundreds of images and carefully chosen words to reveal the symbols, places, and people who shaped the House.

At its center is the story that began it all: a young Louis Vuitton leaving his village in the Jura region and making his way to Paris, where he apprenticed as a trunk maker. The book revisits that journey with renewed wonder, reminding readers how one bold decision became the foundation for the “Art of Travel,” the philosophy that still defines the House. Those early trunks — engineered with precision and shaped for real movement — remain the blueprint for everything Louis Vuitton would build.

From there, the book moves gracefully between past and present. Asnières, the historic workshop, appears as both a working atelier and the heart of the House. The pages linger on artisans shaping wood, stretching canvas, engraving locks — gestures that preserve techniques passed down through generations. The nearby Vuitton family home reinforces a sense of intimacy and continuity that still guides the Maison’s evolution.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

The narrative then widens to the global Louis Vuitton universe: artistic directors whose visions defined entire eras, stores conceived as architectural landmarks, and a longstanding relationship with travel that has taken the Maison from early rail and ocean voyages to modern partnerships with the America’s Cup and Formula 1.

Threaded through it all is the vocabulary of Louis Vuitton — the Monogram, the Damier, the signature yellow stitch — presented as living symbols that are constantly reimagined yet instantly recognizable.

The book itself is a collectible object, housed in a Damier-inspired case and offered in multiple languages. For dedicated connoisseurs, a rare trunk edition handcrafted by the Maison’s artisans elevates it into an objet meant to be displayed as much as read.

Ultimately, From Louis to Vuitton captures the House not through timelines, but through spirit. Innovation and tradition move in harmony, heritage becomes a living language, and the journey that began with Louis continues to unfold in ever-expanding ways.

THE ART OF THE CAPUCINES

FOR THE SEVENTH CHAPTER OF THE ARTYCAPUCINES COLLECTION, LOUIS VUITTON REUNITES WITH TAKASHI MURAKAMI TO TRANSFORM ITS MOST ICONIC BAG INTO A VIVID EXPRESSION OF ART, CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND IMAGINATION.

BY SHELBY COMROE PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

Few partnerships have shaped modern fashion quite like Takashi Murakami and Louis Vuitton. Two decades after his now-legendary Monogram Multicolore collection, the Japanese artist returns to reinterpret the Capucines bag through his kaleidoscopic universe. The result is Artycapucines VII — an eleven-piece collection that fuses fantasy and savoir-faire in equal measure.

Since its debut in 2019, the Artycapucines Collection has invited leading artists to reimagine the Capucines, a bag named after Rue Neuve-desCapucines, where Louis Vuitton opened his first store in 1854. Murakami approached the design process as both artist and storyteller, working hand in hand with the Maison’s artisans to translate his world of color and character into form.

Each piece captures a different facet of his creativity. The Capucines EW Rainbow takes shape as a blooming Rainbow Flower motif. The Capucines Mini Mushroom gleams in mirrored silver, covered in a hundred hand-embroidered mushrooms. The Mini Tentacle draws from Murakami’s alter ego, Mr. DOB, reimagined as a playful octopus. The EW

Dragon, inspired by his monumental Dragon in Clouds — Indigo Blue (2010), showcases radical bag reconstruction, while the BB Golden Garden glows in leather marquetry and gold-leafcovered leather. Finally, the Panda Clutch, cast in silver-tone brass and set with 6,250 hand-set strass, reads like wearable sculpture.

For Murakami, whose work spans painting, sculpture, and animation, the project continues a dialogue that began with Louis Vuitton’s Spring/ Summer 2003 runway show. For the Maison, it reaffirms an enduring commitment to creativity — one that has linked art and craftsmanship since Gaston-Louis Vuitton’s early commissions and the collaborations that followed with Yayoi Kusama and Richard Prince.

Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami Artycapucines VII is both a return and a reinvention: a meeting point of artistry, heritage, and pure imagination.

THE ART OF ADORNMENT

There’s a stillness when high jewelry meets light. In Gucci’s world, it isn’t just about sparkle — it’s about structure, emotion, and the way a piece comes alive once worn. Labirinti Gucci feels romantic, shaped by the geometry of Italian gardens. Horsebit reimagines a house emblem in stones that catch the light. Marina Chain bursts with color and movement. Monili unites Gucci’s design legacy with Pomellato’s mastery of gold and gemstone craft. Together, they turn heritage into something unexpected.

Inside the New BVLGARI

Miami Design District

Bvlgari has reopened its Miami Design District boutique with a newly expanded, two-story space that feels deeply rooted in both Rome and Miami. The House leans into its heritage while absorbing the city’s color, light, and artistic energy, creating an environment that feels modern, refined, and unmistakably Bvlgari.

INSIDE, THE BOUTIQUE UNFOLDS WITH A NEW CLARITY. Travertine columns and fluted architectural lines recall Rome’s classical codes, while palm-etched details and a sculptural chandelier nod to Miami’s light, and coastal energy. Spanning over 3,200 square feet, the boutique brings together high jewelry, fine jewelry, watches, handbags, and fragrance. Upstairs, the second-floor salon is designed for private client moments and hosted gatherings, adding a sense of luxury to the overall shopping experience.

From the street, the façade becomes a moment of its own. Inspired by the sunsets of Rome and Miami, the radiant exterior is warm and inviting. After dark, the boutique transforms into a fully illuminated display, turning this corner of the Design District into a luminous landmark.

For Bvlgari’s North America President Hervé Perrot, the boutique represents more than just a retail space. “The re-opening of our boutique in the Design District is an important milestone for Bvlgari’s growth in North America,” he notes. “Miami is a global hub for art, design, and culture, making it the perfect setting to showcase our Roman heritage and innovative spirit.”

To mark the reopening, Bvlgari introduced an exclusive High Jewelry Monete capsule collection. Long considered one of the House’s defining signatures, the Monete celebrates its Roman roots in a contemporary new way. Each piece reimagines ancient coins in bold, striking forms that bridge history and modernity.

The boutique is an expressive new chapter for Bvlgari in Miami. The design, the light, and the expanded layout all work together to highlight the House’s craftsmanship and its connection to the city. The result is a space that feels fully in step with the Design District.

MIAMI WATCH SUMMIT

THE INAUGURAL EVENT UNITING THE WORLD OF WATCHMAKING BY HAUTE LIVING.

BY LAURA VALLINA

THIS NOVEMBER, THE WORLD OF FINE WATCHMAKING CONVERGED in Miami for the inaugural Watch Summit — a three-day celebration of craftsmanship, culture, and community at the intersection of time and design. Hosted at The Moore Private Members Club in the Miami Design District, the Summit marked a defining moment for Miami’s rise as a global destination for luxury and horology.

Over three unforgettable days, the world’s most passionate collectors, visionary brand leaders, and cultural tastemakers gathered to honor the spirit of haute horlogerie — one conversation, one pairing, and one perfectly calibrated moment at a time.

The event began at Cipriani Miami, where Ulysse Nardin joined Haute Time to honor world champion Terence “Bud” Crawford and his cover launch. Celebrating the only male fighter in history to become a three-time undisputed world champion — a record that redefined boxing — guests raised a Louis XII Cognac toast while UN’s best pieces adorned the tables of Cipriani’s private room, setting the tone for the days to come.

By Thursday afternoon, the mood shifted to The Moore Miami, where sunlight filtered through the gallery’s high windows, casting a warm glow over vitrines of mechanical marvels. With El Cristiano cocktails in hand, guests drifted into animated conversations about rare complications and case finishes, greeting each other with the kind of familiarity that only years in the collecting world can build.

A pivotal moment arrived when Pierre Halimi Lacharlotte of F.P. Journe spoke alongside Brice Le Troadec of Grand Seiko, Naya Aldias of Bvlgari, and Eric Wind, CEO of Wind Vintage. The room fell into reverent silence as they explored the nuanced conversation about legacy and reinvention — examining what it means to carry centuries of horological history forward in an era defined by innovation. Hours later, François-Xavier Hotier of Ulysse Nardin, Laurent Toinet of Roger Dubuis, and Alexander Schmiedt of Vacheron Constantin joined watch content creator Chad Alexander to explore how heritage brands are using modern materials, digital storytelling, and cultural collaborations to remain timeless in every sense. Throughout the panels, something extraordinary emerged: collectors forged deep connections through their shared passion. Watches changed hands across tables, each exchange a narrative of pursuit and appreciation. One guest removed his F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu to hand it to another who’d just shared a story about waiting years for a Vacheron Overseas. These were not simple transactions, but acts of trust, passion, and shared language.

Friday’s Collector’s Lunch, hosted by HYT and paired with The Macallan, captured the essence of that camaraderie. Around the table, Miami flavors mingled with the smooth warmth of whiskey, creating an atmosphere both indulgent and intimate. Conversations flowed as freely as the pours, spanning from vintage tourbillons to the bold fluid mechanics defining the future of modern timepieces.

As the afternoon progressed, Franck Suznjevic of Hublot and Loic Hamdi of HYT took the stage, with Sophy Rindler from RedBar Miami electrifying the room — reminding everyone that fine watchmaking isn’t just about precision, but purpose. The day continued with a Louis XIII Cognac tasting, a toast to the enduring visionaries who’ve turned seconds into sculpture.

By the Thursday evening, attendees were captivated by the Fine Watchmaking & Music: Where Time Meets Rhythm panel moderated by Lex Borrero, president and co-founder of NEON16. The panel featured Super Niche Studios founder and Wrist Check Pod co-host Perri Dash, rapper SAINt JHN, and Menta Watches founder Adam Golden. This immersive dialogue connected haute horlogerie and music — exploring how rhythm, creativity, and precision intertwine.

It was the perfect prelude to the night ahead, setting an electric tone for Hublot’s cocktail experience in the heart of the Miami Design District. Guests shifted from conversation into celebration, sipping cocktails and trying on new releases and coveted models — the kind of evening only Haute Time could orchestrate.

The summit closed as it began at the Moore, but this time on the rooftop, beneath the Miami stars and the city’s bright skyline. Guests raised their glasses once more to horology. The music carried through the night, and for a brief moment, time itself felt suspended — measured not in hours, but in connection, creativity, and shared obsession.

In a world where watches are so often about power and precision, the Miami Watch Summit reminded us of something far more human: that time, at its best, is an experience meant to be savored together. And as the final moments ticked away, one thing was certain — next year’s summit will only push that experience further.

Art Basel 2025

Art in every medium: Miami’s most immersive Basel yet.

BY LAURA VALLINA

EVERY DECEMBER, MIAMI DOES NOT JUST HOST ART BASEL; IT SURRENDERS TO IT.

For one electric week, art takes over: galleries become Miami's hottest place to be seen, restaurants transform into exhibitions, and the streets pulse with creativity. From monumental sculptures to curated menus and soundscapes, Miami becomes a masterpiece that can be experienced in every medium.

In the Miami Design District, transformation begins with the 10th Annual Design Commission by Katie Stout. Her installation, Gargantua's Thumb, transforms the neighborhood into a surreal fantasy: dog-shaped benches, whalelike sofas, frog-inspired perches, and a canopy of colorful, suspended orbs that blur the lines between design and imagination. It's tactile, interactive, alive — a fitting tribute to the Commission's decade-long influence.

Nearby, the Craig Robins Collection reveals its latest rehang, Walking on Air, spotlighting Richard Tuttle and his delicate play between space and suspension. Works by David Hammons, John Baldessari, and Marcel Duchamp join the conversation, capturing levity and chance — an invitation to see the invisible threads connecting art's past and present.

On Lincoln Road, art spills into the open air. Fourteen large-scale installations bring color and commentary to Miami Beach, from Philippe Katerine's bubblegum-pink inflatables in Mr. Pink Takes Flight to Oscar Esteban Martinez's mirrored human face in La Herencia Viva, a reflection on identity and belonging. Add Gillie and Marc's whimsical wildlife bronzes and Rubem Robierb's interactive sculptures, and a walk feels like entering another dimension.

But Art Basel's influence doesn't end at the gallery door. It's on your plate, in your glass, and in the music vibrating through every late-night lounge. Riviera Dining Group leads the culinary wave, debuting AVA MediterrAegean in Coconut Grove — an ethereal escape channeling Cycladic elegance through a menu as artful as it is sensorial. At CLAUDIE, the group partners with Bartoux Gallery to exhibit works by Anna Master and Frédéric Pinet, pairing visual art with curated bites and cocktails.

In the heart of Lincoln Road, MILA Miami collaborates with designer Philip Karto, whose reimagined luxury handbags become an integral part of the restaurant's visual identity alongside world-class DJs that transform dinner into a performance.

How Sandra Lena Silverman Helps Women Age With Confidence: The No-BS Guide

AGING HAS A WAY OF SNEAKING UP ON YOU. ONE MORNING, YOU look in the mirror and wonder when everything started to change. Could you have done more to prevent this? What happens now? For many women, this moment is filled with questions and not enough honest answers.

Sandra Lena Silverman steps in to answer those questions with total honesty. The #1 best-selling author of From Bullshit to Botox has made it her mission to cut through the noise of the beauty industry and help women navigate aging with clarity, confidence, and self-respect. Her book isn’t just another beauty manual with thousands of suggestions for skincare, makeup, and treatments that don’t actually work. Instead, it’s both a memoir recounting her personal experiences in the beauty industry and a blueprint for becoming your best self with advice that genuinely transforms.

What sets Sandra apart is her willingness to be completely transparent about her own journey. She has undergone more than 25 cosmetic procedures and treatments, investing over $300,000 in the process. Not all of them were worth it, and she’s the first to say so. A filler treatment gone wrong once left her skin sagging — an experience that ultimately led her, at 47, to get a mini facelift paired with a forehead lift. She calls it her favorite procedure, both for the results and the manageable recovery. Sandra doesn’t shy away from sharing what she regrets, like a second Y-lift that didn’t go as planned, and what she swears by, such as eyelash extensions and microblading.

Sandra’s message to women is that aging isn’t a battle, but a transition. You’re not broken or alone. You are allowed to feel beautiful at any age. This goes deeper than aesthetics; it’s about mindset. She’s showing women that beauty doesn’t have to be defined by age, but by how you feel in your own skin.

A New Era for Binst Architects

After 50 years shaping Europe’s skyline, Binst Architects brings its multidisciplinary rigor to Miami’s most ambitious moment.

BY CORINA BULLOS

A 230-FOOT SPAN OF 2,000 TONS OF STEEL SLICING ACROSS the Belgian waterfront. A 1970s Brussels tower reborn as a mixed-use landmark. A 1250-foot long landmark along the highway. After five decades of evolution, Binst Architects have arrived in Miami — not as newcomers, but as seasoned designers carrying a legacy of European craft into one of the world’s most dynamic cultural capitals.

The journey from Brussels to Brickell represents 50 years of transformation. What began under Belgian visionary Jo Crepain has grown, under founder and CEO Luc Binst, into an international multidisciplinary studio where urbanism, architecture, and interiors merge into one seamless discipline. Their philosophy is distilled in UNTITLED, a 1,400-page monograph examining 150 projects through eight lenses: unity in diversity, nuances in materiality, transforming heritage, and tailormade urbanism among them.

“We grew from a rich Belgian architectural legacy,” explains the leadership team of Luc Binst, Edwin Remmerie (design and operational lead and co-head of international development), and Sven van Loon (senior design architect and co-head of international development). “Over the years, it evolved from a strong local office into an international, multidisciplinary studio with a research-driven culture.”

Their portfolio proves it — from Cordeel HQ’s dramatic span to international developments that fuse artistry with sustainability. “We combine the scale and ambition of an urban thinker with the sensitivity of a craftsman,” they note. “Each project grows from strong conceptual research yet remains rooted in making, in material, proportion and detail.”

They call this architecture à la carte: a contextual approach that resists trends in favor of clarity, atmosphere, and permanence. “Our architecture aims to express character and identity, whether through transforming heritage, shaping high-rise landmarks, or designing intimate interiors.”

POSITIVE ARCHITECTURE

When asked to define their identity, the answer is immediate: positive architecture. “Work that balances intelligent restraint with expressive clarity. For us, experience comes first — how a building breathes, how light moves, how space engages the senses.”

Identity, for Binst, isn’t a style but a toolkit. Among their guiding principles: context as catalyst, material intelligence, and precision at every scale. “Together, these form a living, evolving methodology. They guide us as we expand globally, bringing European precision to new worlds of energy and ambition.”

WHY MIAMI, WHY NOW

The expansion feels inevitable. “Our global growth is a natural extension of five decades of experience in complex European contexts and of our curiosity for cities that evolve at high speed.”

Miami’s particular appeal is multifaceted. “The culture of art, hospitality and lifestyle resonates strongly with our multidisciplinary DNA. It allows us to translate European craft and urban thinking into a tropical, communityminded architecture.”

Beyond design, the firm bridges continents, connecting Belgian investors to Miami developments. Their gaze is also turning toward the Gulf, “where rapidly growing cities like Dubai challenge architects to merge ambition with climate responsiveness.”

TRANSLATING EXCELLENCE ACROSS CONTEXTS

How does a European firm maintain its design rigor in fast-evolving cities? The team credits three elements: contextual intelligence refined in Europe, strong local partnerships, and an integrated workflow. “This mix allows us to merge European depth with the energy and ambition of cities that are constantly reinventing themselves.”

Their definition of future-proof architecture is disarmingly clear: “adaptable, low-carbon and lovable — built to evolve with time rather than defy it.”

From the adaptive reuse of OXY in Brussels with Snøhetta to the energyneutral Technical Cluster North in Antwerp, their projects prove innovation can be both empathetic and efficient. “In the end, innovation for us means building intelligently, with empathy, efficiency and emotion.”

ARCHITECTURE MEETS ART BASEL

Binst’s Miami arrival coincides with Art Basel, where design and culture intersect in full force. “Art Basel is that rare moment when architecture steps onto the same stage as collectors, curators and creators. The energy blurs boundaries between disciplines, and that’s exactly where we feel at home.”

Through local initiatives in Belgium like B Scene and their B Brand design collection, Binst extends its architectural ethos into art and craftsmanship. “Art Basel amplifies those intersections. It reminds us that high performance and cultural delight can — and should — coexist.”

THE WORK

Their current portfolio spans scales and cities but carries one shared intent: to design spaces that give back.

In Belgium, the 230-foot span of Cordeel HQ stands as a striking feat of engineering, while NOA Outdoor in Kruisem merges architecture, landscape and product innovation into a cohesive brand environment. With Snøhetta, OXY brings new life to a 1970s Brussels tower, showing how heritage can be reimagined with purpose.

Residential landmarks like One Baelskaai in Ostend and Twist Tower in Antwerp balance craft and comfort, each blending light, material and human scale.

THE FEELING

What should a Binst building feel like? “A sense of clarity, serenity and sensory strength at once. We want our buildings to feel inevitable in their context, generous in how they meet the street, and subtly innovative in how they’re conceived, crafted, and performed over time.”

Whether in Europe, Miami, or beyond, Binst creates architecture that unites intelligence with emotion and vision with craftsmanship. It’s their pursuit of the Gesamtkunstwerk — a total work of art where architecture, design and craft converge.

As Luc Binst puts it, “I love pushing boundaries, going slightly off track but always with control and intent.”

That balance — between daring and discipline, between European depth and global energy — defines Binst Architects. Their arrival in Miami isn’t just an expansion. It’s a continuation of a story built on clarity and purpose: architecture that endures through experience.
