PUBLISHER’S NOTE

I

happen to be a forever grateful person. Much of this gratitude stems from my childhood. My mother raised eight children on her own, and, needless to say, we didn’t have many tangible “luxuriesâ€? growing up. However, she made up for this through the experiences she created for us. On Christmas morning, we had so many gifts under the tree to unwrap, it seemed as though Santa Claus really did exist! She staged the scene with cookie crumbs and an GORV[ OKNM INCUUtUJG GXGP YGPV CU HCT CU VQ RWV YJKVG ĆƒQWT QP JGT Ć‚PIGTU VQ make it look like reindeer had left footprints. And while the gifts were nothing substantial, it was the experience with all of my brothers and sisters that made it so fun and memorable.

I still get excited by gifts, regardless of the price tag. With that said, it’s always nice to be able to treat yourself—or be treated—to a designer bag, shoes or another luxurious gift that sparkles!

Our annual holiday gift guide has so many great gift suggestions, I had to RTGXGPV O[UGNH HTQO KOOGFKCVGN[ IQKPI UJQRRKPI +H [QW ECPoV Ć‚PF UQOGVJKPI VJGTG + JQRG [QW YKNN XKUKV UQOG QH QWT CFXGTVKUGTU VQ Ć‚PF VJCV RGTHGEV IKHV HQT yourself or a loved one.

I still maintain the belief that the best luxury in life is the ability to give back, which is why we continue to work with charitable organizations that support those in need, especially during the holiday season.

I wish you a safe and happy holidays and new year!

inter is upon us! And while it might not feel like winter weatherwise, we are gearing up for one of the most exciting times of the year: Miami Art Week! As part of our annual art-themed edition, we have put together one of the most comprehensive roundups of Art Basel and beyond, from the must-attend fairs to lesser-known gallery exhibitions to the hottest parties in town (page 55).

Operations Coordinator Betty Alvarez

ART WEEK PREP

For one week, the best of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art is available to South Florida and its visitors. But what goes into getting a show off the ground? We caught up with Eric Smith, CEO of Redwood Media Group, which produces Spectrum, Red Dot and ArtSpot, to ask how it all comes together.

When did you start planning for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shows? Right after last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shows GPFGF YG ICVJGTGF VQIGVJGT VJG UVCHH CPF C EQWRNG QH VJG GZJKDKVQTU CPF OCFG notes about what we can do to improve.

Spectrum and one for Red Dot, and now we created one single entrance. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll turn right to go into one show and go left to go into the other show. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a really cool entrance with lighting and music.

What are some highlights that set your shows apart? We have a fashion show, which is totally fun. It takes place on opening night and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very artsy.

Fashion and art go well together. We also have ArtTalks and ArtLabs, which are experimental displays that are on view.

Photography is really hot right now.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some collaborating going on between photographers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an interesting medium because a lot of it is digital, so you can create photography between two people across the world.

DR. JORDANA POMEROY DIRECTOR, PATRICIA & PHILLIP FROST ART MUSEUM FIU

BY ROBIN HODES

Tell us about your background. Have you always been interested in art? I grew up in a creative, scholarly family that values the humanities. My mother is a historian of classical antiquity and my father is a practicing architect. Our family trips consisted of visiting archaeological sites, architectural monuments and museums. Growing up in New York also meant that I had world-class art in my backyard. It was a natural progression for me to enter the art world. I majored in art history as an undergraduate and, after working for my aunt who developed an expertise in public sculpture, I decided to pursue my Ph.D. I did so while working in the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which was an incredible experience.

The museum and the way it contributes to Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural life has an enormous impact on the community. As the only art museum on FIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus, and with free admission, we make a daily impact on the lives of students and other visitors. We are a museum for visitors of all learning levels. *QY YQWNF [QW FGUETKDG C V[RKECN FC[! What I love about my job is that there is no typical day. I spend time individually with most of my staff members each week to discuss museum business.

I often have meetings with FIU administration. Other days are spent off campus or out of Miami, promoting the museum and seeking new constituents, members and donors.

In 2018, we celebrate the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th anniversary in its current building (although the museum itself is 40 years old). We plan to implement programming to bring visitors to the museum who may never have visited us before, as well as to attract more FIU students.

Dr. Jordana Pomeroy is no stranger to the world of art. After earning her Ph.D. in art history from Columbia University, the New York City native spent more than 15 years at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, eventually becoming its chief curator. Prior to her current role as director of the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum FIU, a position she has held since 2014, she worked as the executive director of Louisiana State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Museum of Art. Attracting new visitors is high on Pomeroyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of goals for the museum, which opened in 1977 as a small gallery and has grown to become one of South Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest free-standing art museums. It is also the only art museum in Miami that is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution.

COUNTDOWN TO PERFECTION Sean Donaldson has worked in the hair industry for more than 28 years. He captains his eponymous hair salons in Miami Beach and Brickell, where he combines the service and technical expertise of a bespoke European hair salon with the finest in contemporary design.

“Your hair is your truest accessory. It is the only one that not only belongs to you, but defines your true style,” says Donaldson. “When the dress, the makeup and the jewels come off, your hair stays.”

Here, Donaldson offers a few tips on how to achieve the best hair day of your entire life.

1. The latest trend for bridal hair is to be Anna Campbell “Madison” gown;

half-up and half-down. We recommend that the bride goes with a style that emphasizes her best features and makes her feel beautiful.

2.

A trial run is essential. We recommend a three month in advance wedding trial. This is to ensure we have the proper color and haircut in place for when the big day arrives.

3.

The color technique and shade should be determined months before the trial, perfected upon the trial and touched up a week before the wedding.

4.

We believe extensions can be used when adding volume or length to the hair. This is a personal thing in terms of the quality of the bride’s hair, the length and the desired outcome.

Experimentation is vital.

Romance

Romance doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to endâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or startâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with the honeymoon. Resorts around the world are ramping up their offerings for couples, reinventing what it means to have a vacation with your other half. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer just couples massages and beds covered with rose petals (though thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of that, too). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about cultural immersion, culinary experiences and sublime relaxation.

Here, we present five resorts that are redefining romance.

Seventy percent of a golf round involves the short game. Allocate at least half of your practice time to chipping and putting.

2.

WARM UP BETTER Spend 15 minutes before your round stretching and activating your core muscles. Then, hit 25 to 30 balls and roll at least 10 putts.

3.

PLAY OPTIMISTICALLY Focus on the one place you want your ball to go, not the places you should avoid. Aim small. Miss small. Hit your target more.

PRINCIPAL, INTERIORS BY MAITE GRANDA

BY VANESSA MOLINA SANTAMARIA

Maite Grandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keen eye for details inspires people from all over the world. In 2016, she received the â&#x20AC;&#x153;10,000 Ideabook Savesâ&#x20AC;? badge from Houzz, which is awarded to designers whose photos have been added more than 10,000 times to usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inspiration boards. Cuban-born Granda, who opened her design firm in 2009, moved to Madrid with her family when she was 12. She credits her mother, who has a natural instinct for making interiors look beautiful and warm, and the Spanish culture for helping to cultivate her passion for design. Among her many projects, Granda was tapped to participate in the restoration of the historic Kampong property in Coconut Grove, which helped raise money for the Junior League of Miami.

GIVING BACK

BLESS THE CHILDREN

SAVE THE DATE

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in our nature to protect our young. What better time than the holidays, when the spirit of giving is at its pinnacle, to make a difference in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life?

BY ROBIN HODES

E

very child deserves to feel as though they belong. Jewish Adoption and Family Care Options (JAFCO)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to care for abused and neglected children, and those with developmental disabilities. Although JAFCO was created to meet a need in the Jewish community, the organization considers it a privilege and a responsibility to serve any child or family in need, regardless of their religion.

With this all-important purpose in mind, JAFCO will hold its Chanukah Miracles Luncheon on Thursday, Nov. 16, at Turnberry Isle Miami. The event will feature a shopping boutique, a silent auction and the annual godparent pinning ceremony,

which acknowledges new members of the Godparent Circle, a group of donors who pledge to spiritually adopt all the children JAFCO serves in its group home, emergency shelter and family preservation and developmental disability programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to see such an outpouring of love from the community,â&#x20AC;? says Sarah Franco, JAFCO executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Aventura/North Miami chapter has grown so much over the years. The generosity expressed at the annual Chanukah Miracles Luncheon always puts smiles on the faces of our precious children during the holidays.

That is a priceless gift.â&#x20AC;? jafco.org

JAFCO invites all caring and magnanimous individuals to attend its Chanukah Miracles Luncheon on Thursday, Nov. 16, at Turnberry Isle Miami. Tickets cost $136 per person.

The boutique opens at 10 a.m., and those who make a purchase by C O YKNN TGEGKXG Ć&#x201A;XG HTGG TCHĆ&#x192;G tickets. The event will also include a model showcase featuring designer fashions from Bal Harbour Shops.

Guests are asked to bring Target, Best Buy and Visa gift cards to help bring holiday joy to the 500 children JAFCO serves.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

AT YOUR SERVICE At South Florida’s premier property management company, AKAM On-Site, clients are people, not buildings.

BY ROBIN HODES

L

ife takes interesting turns. Who would have thought that a classically trained violist would go on to head one of South Florida’s most successful property management companies? Such is the case for Leslie Kaminoff, founder and CEO of AKAM On-Site.

Sunny Isles Beach

Palm Beach

As an undergraduate majoring in music, Kaminoff worked part time as a building clerk at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. He eventually went on to become its director of real estate. In 1983, Kaminoff founded AKAM Living Services (the parent company for AKAM On-Site), which quickly grew into one of NYC’s premier real estate companies. “I went from being a professional musician to a professional listener,” Kaminoff jokes about his career shift.

Listening, in fact, is one of the secrets to AKAM’s success, and Kaminoff takes pride in his open-door policy. “If an owner isn’t able to talk to me, in my mind, that is a problem,” he says.

Kaminoff and his team are not just problem solvers. They anticipate potential challenges and avert them before they happen. This takes tremendous foresight. Before Hurricane Irma, for example, AKAM was thorough in gathering information about the needs of its properties’ residents. “We were blessed,” Kaminoff says, regarding the intensity of the storm. “But if it had been a true disaster, we were well prepared.”

Despite tremendous growth, Kaminoff has never lost sight of both the identity and needs of his clients. “If you ask 10 real estate CEOs who their clients are, they will all name buildings,” he says.

“

“Our clients are not the buildings, they are the residents who live there. If 200 people live in a building, that’s 200 clients.”

Kaminoff also doesn’t take for granted the elevated standards his clients expect. “These are extremely smart people who have been successful in life, and they can be demanding,“ he says.

“We understand this and provide them with a personalized level of service that anticipates their needs.”

Just like mastering the viola, Kaminoff believes in picking one thing and doing it well. “It’s unrealistic to think you can be all things to all people,” he acknowledges. For this reason, AKAM maintains its focus by only managing luxury high-rises with an onsite manager. “You are dealing with someone’s home, their oasis and, in many cases, their largest investment,” Kaminoff says. “To give anything less than personalized service just doesn’t work.”

In 1998, when the company decided it was time to expand, Kaminoff and his team considered various markets. They found South Florida real estate had much to gain from AKAM’s expertise—and they were right. Today, AKAM manages some of South Florida’s most impressive residential properties. “We have an open-minded approach, a tendency to think outside the box and a willingness to change with the times,” says Kaminoff, citing that many competitors tend to be reluctant to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.
