The Ultra-luxe Asian Mediterranean Dining & Supper Club Addition to Upper Kirby's Night Scene

W

By Mariana Rombado

ith Houston’s unstoppable growth across all luxury segments, fine dining seems to dominate our city’s scene.

However, only a few catch LUXCIOR’s attention as much as SE7EN does. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were up to a unique, exotic, and ultra high-end experience, with the twist of exotic Asian-Mediterranean cuisine.

Beautiful marbles control the scene colored between blacks and whites, mixed with golden colors, while opulent furnishings and lighting perfectly blend together to make up the exuberance of this fabulous restaurant and supper club. A dominant bar takes center stage, until two smooth, classy dancers, deviate everyone’s attention while they follow the DJ that controls the mood. This is a place well worth visiting, before even considering the food and drinks. The overall visual and musical experience is phenomenal. A flash trip to the best of Miami or Dubai.

Charred Grilled Octopus - Grilled octopus, served with potatoes three ways (mashed potatoes, golden creamer baked potatoes and potato foam), caramelized onion, brown butter paprika sauce.

SE7EN brings a true sense of decadence to Kirby Drive with its vibrant feel, managing to craft a menu focusing on an exotic combination of Asian and Mediterranean cuisine, with an emphasis on the quality of the ingredients and the finest techniques. The menu is not a traditional fusion but rather a complementary mix of two regions with worldly appeal featuring progressive flavor additions to make it inherently unique. The Mediterranean portion uses fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, olive oil, and aromatic herbs found in the Mediterranean basin while also incorporating the finest meats. It is complemented by appealing Asian flare dishes such as sashimi, nigiri, and uramaki. The menu features items themed along the 7 wonders of the world, with the cocktail and dessert menus featuring notions of the 7 deadly sins.

In addition, SE7EN offers an exquisite mixology program in a sophisticated but daring atmosphere where guests can enjoy a private party, a special night with friends, or celebrate an end of the week with an experience like none other in Houston.

Each tender slice of perfectly marbled beef is a testament to the dedication and expertise of master chef. Their artistry lies in the meticulous aging process, allowing the flavors to deepen and intensify, resulting in an unrivaled depth of taste that will leave you in awe.

Accompanying this gastronomic delight are an array of hand-picked, seasonal ingredients, artfully arranged to enhance the natural richness of the beef. The plate comes alive with vibrant hues and textures, as heirloom vegetables, delicately

roasted and caramelized, offer a harmonious balance to the robust flavors of the meat.

As you savor each bite, the beef’s velvety tenderness envelops your palate, releasing an orchestra of flavors that dance across your taste buds. The lusciousness of the beef is further enhanced by a velvety reduction, crafted from the finest ingredients, adding depth and complexity to every morsel.

To accompany this culinary masterpiece, SE7EN’s sommelier has curated an exquisite selection of wines, each one meticulously chosen to complement the rich, nuanced flavors of the beef. From velvety reds with hints of blackberry and spice to elegant whites with delicate floral notes, every sip enhances the experience, elevating it to an extraordinary affair.

Definitely a LUXCIOR affair.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Corasol in Playa del Carmen is quickly becoming the most

attractive international destination in Mexico for its natural, rustic, and at the same time luxurious resort-style Caribbean charm.

And it’s precisely because of this trend that property value here

is steadily on the rise. The construction of a local airport and the “Tren Maya” (Maya Train) is -among many other things- fueling this remarkable investment opportunity.

It’s not very often that you can buy a very private and luxurious property you can enjoy in the coveted Mexican Caribbean coastline, while you make a fast and noticeable profit in the process.

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

SUMMER DESIGN REFRESH With summer and sunshine upon us, it is natural to feel the need to bring life and light to your home with the changing season. Kathy Anderson, principal designer and owner of Eklektik Interiors, shares her expert advice on three ways to create visually interesting and engaging spaces and breathe new life into your home this summer.

COLOR Color is not something to be afraid of; it gives life to a space in a way that few things can. Adding even one accent color to a previously flat-toned space can uplift the spirit of the entire room. Choose one or two areas of the room to highlight

with a bold statement of color to create focal points. This could be a feature wall, a piece of artwork, or a brightly colored piece of furniture. This will draw the eye and add interest to the space.

When choosing the colors, think about the mood you want to create.

Different colors can evoke different moods and emotions and hold different energy.

For example, blues and greens can create a calming and serene atmosphere, while yellows, oranges, and pinks can create a more energetic and vibrant space. The use of a single color gradient can create a smooth transition of colors that evoke a feeling of warmth and summer. Once you’ve chosen colors that will create the mood you want for the room, add in some accent pieces for pops of color. Throw pillows, accessories, rugs, and curtains are all fun things to update and add more color throughout the room.

67

TEXTURE With the guidance of a professional designer, adding layers of texture can change the tone of a room from one that feels sterile to one that feels intimate. Texture also creates a tactile and natural feel that evokes the warmth and richness of the season. Since summer is associated with being outdoors, incorporating natural elements along with design elements like lines, shapes, and patterns, will create a sense of movement that mimics the energy and liveliness of the summer season.

Texture can easily be added with textiles like blankets, pillows, rugs, and window treatments, but you can also work in different textures in your furniture or wall treatments. Once you have your color palette, it’s time to select textured materials that will complement your color choices. For example, you might choose a soft, plush rug in a neutral color to add texture to a room with bold, colorful walls.

Alternatively, you could opt for a roughhewn wooden table or textured wallpaper to add visual interest to a space. Don’t be afraid to mix and match textures in your space. Combining a smooth leather sofa with a chunky knit throw or pairing a shiny metallic lamp with a woven basket, can add depth and dimension to your space. The key is to create a balance between the different textures, so your home doesn’t feel too busy or overwhelming.

CONSIDER THE LIGHTING Texture and color are both important elements in interior design and using them together can create avisually interesting and engaging space. But also keep in mind that lighting also plays a key role in howtexture and color are perceived in a space. For example, a dimly lit room may make textured materials appear flatter, while bright lighting can enhance the texture and make it more noticeable.

Lighting is one of the simplest but most effective ways to transform a space.

The style of fixture, tone of light (warm to cool), and direction of light all have a prominent effect on anyone walking into the room.

Here are a few simple ways to update your lighting that can have a huge impact: Dimmer switches are an easy way to adjust the brightness of a room and create a mood. Theyalso save energy and extend the life of your light bulbs.

Accent lighting can highlight a particular feature in a room, such as a painting or sculpture. It can also be used to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

LED strip lights are a flexible and versatile way to add lighting to your home.

You can use them to highlight a particular area or to create an interesting visual effect.

70

Pendant lights can be a stylish and functional addition to any room. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, and can be used to provide task lighting or to create a focal point.

Recessed lighting can be used to provide general illumination in a room or to highlight a particular feature, such as a piece of art or a bookshelf.

A statement chandelier can add a touch of elegance and drama to any room.

Choose a style that complements your decor and make sure it’s appropriately sized for the space.

Don’t forget about natural light!

Consider adding skylights or larger windows to bring more natural light into your home.

You can also use sheer curtains or blinds to control the amount of light that enters a room.

The most important thing to consider when renovating or updating a space, is that this is YOUR home and it should enhance the way YOU live. Overall, incorporating texture along with color and lighting in the design of a space can create a dynamic and visually interesting environment. Experiment with different textures and colors and lighting options to find the perfect balance to refresh your home for summer and add new life and function into your well-loved spaces.

THE FUTURE OF INTERIOR DESIGN

by Carolina Pinzón HOUSTON, a city of incredible diversity, with a charming climate component along with amazing work and investment opportunities, is said to be like no other city in the United States. This amazing metropolis has managed to capture the attention of companies and talents that will surely guarantee its strength and continued growth in the upcoming years.

This is why INTERIOR DESIGN becomes something more than a luxury or an investment that allows us to live better and enjoy the benefits it entails. Interior Design becomes an important tool that prepares us for this global trend of communicating through experiences.

Investors who see real estate as a way to diversify their portfolio should take into account important points, in addition to identifying opportunities and the speed with which they have to respond to demand: Due to the rise in the real estate market not only in short or long-term purchases or rentals, but also in the hotel sector, shopping plazas, parking lots, and restaurants, we must be ready to capture the attention of visitors who come not only from other states but also from abroad.

Today we will dive into the tools that decoration and interior design use which allow us to be protagonists of the phenomenon that integrates warmth, and connection with our environment.

The integration of technology and its ability to globalize trends as well as interior designs.

It is crucial to create sensory experiences such as sight, touch, and smell that will guide the person to a specific area, which will allow a photo taken by the visitor to recommend a space to thousands of people in different parts of the world.

A little green color must be introduced in an organic manner; this can be accomplished through plants. Creating a space that will be recognized as a place to refresh your mind even through a difficult time. Creating these spaces will allow a person to create new, fresh memories.

Houston, as a multicultural city is known to offer many options when it comes to Interior design. However, whether commercial or residential, it is wise to create spaces that evoke a sense of a home, security, and comfort.

Warm tones will always be an excellent option and a success when it comes to having the acceptance of the largest number of your target audience.

Take risks. The architecture and interior design have been so conservative throughout these years that any detail you venture to add will make all the difference; it can create an amazing experience that will generate many memories, ultimately creating a brand that would be recognized as part of our diversity.

Everything you decide in terms of interior design and cost is very important.

For example, introduce the latest collections, the most acclaimed in Italy, which can be found in the same streets where tasteful and high to mid-cost accessories and furniture are present.

The digital space available today will be a place for you, from anywhere in the world will be able to express the design and aesthetics to make your dream of unforgettable experiences! These tools will prove the premise that “EVERYTHING ENTERS THROUGH THE EYES” as true.

It is time to stop and think that Houston has an infinite number of cultural activities: sports, concerts, rodeo, arts; different tourist attractions, and above all large-scale worldwide events. In response to this, parking lots, unforgettable restaurants, and residences where you feel just like at home, will not only be profitable investments but will also be a hallmark that will immortalize this beautiful and magical city.

We are going to give the world something to talk about, we will become the personalized space where everyone wants to be. The opportunities are on the table. Those idle spaces could be the best version of your dreams and for that, we are going to integrate all the tools that allow us to generate an impact, and why not… dream of one day being the World Capital of Interior Design.

With the introduction of their most recent masterpiece, the “Revuelto”, Lamborghini has once more pushed the limits of performance and design. This hybrid super sports car, which was unveiled in time for the marque’s 60th anniversary, elevates the brand’s tradition by utilizing electrification to produce an exciting and environmentally friendly driving experience.

The Revuelto’s engine is a brand-new 12-cylinder internal combustion engine coupled with three high-density electric motors, producing 1015 CV (1001 horsepower) in total. A ground-breaking transversal dual-clutch e-gearbox uses this power to achieve a top speed of over 350 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of only 2.9 seconds.

132

But the Revuelto is not just about speed and performance.

It also embodies Lamborghini’s commitment to sustainability, incorporating a central monocoque made of Forged Composites, a more eco-friendly technology than traditional manufacturing processes.

This new solution maximizes weight reduction (-9 kg vs. the Aventador front frame), tensional stiffness (> 40.000 NM/°), and strength to protect the vehicle and its occupants in case of accident.

The exterior design of the Revuelto follows the iconic Lamborghini single center line, but with a new twist. The sharply sculpted lines and smooth negative radiuses create a high-tech shape that puts the Revuelto unmistakably in the new generation of Lamborghini supercars. The rear of the car proudly displays the

BOYS' TOYS iconic V12 engine, which has been rotated by 180° and optimized to harmoniously co-exist with the electric motors.

But it’s not just the powertrain and exterior design that make the Revuelto a true masterpiece. The vehicle also incorporates advanced driving modes that allow for 13 different driving experiences, spanning four main categories according to the environment: Città (fully electric, also AWD on demand), Strada (for comfort and smoothness), Sport (for reactiveness and fun-to-drive), and Corsa (thrilling, high-end performance). The gearbox’s Dual Clutch System allows for various shift profiles to optimize the driving modes – from city driving to the thrill of maximum acceleration.

Finally, the revamped version of the Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics (LDVI) manages the torque on the single wheel and

in terms of longitudinal and lateral distribution for a more dynamic traction central logic that fully adapts to specific wheel behaviors during acceleration and braking. This advanced and highly efficient version can predict the terrain grip and adjust the acceleration and braking power distribution to guarantee the best performance and control.

In conclusion, the Lamborghini Revuelto is a real masterpiece that personifies the brand’s dedication to innovation, performance, and sustainability. The Revuelto ushers in a new age of high-performance hybrid supercars with its ground-breaking powertrain, sophisticated driving modes, and cutting-edge design that will continue to awe and amaze auto enthusiasts for years to come.

Part I FLAIR UNDER THE RAIN The iconic song “Never Rains in Southern California” could never be applied to Houston, where the best forecasters maybe only one-third of the time can anticipate what will happen in our city in the next 24 hours. So a day that was supposed to be sunny and beautiful, ended up pouring from the moment we started the rally from Lamborghini Houston to HARAS Hacienda to Part I of the 2023 Edition of the HOUSTON EXOTIC AUTO FESTIVAL. This year we made it a combined event with the first release in Houston of F.E.I.’s (Fédération Equestre Internationale) famed Jumper Horse Competition. After all, what could be more luxurious and fun to line up together than exotic automobiles and fine horses?

Great pastries from The Woodlands’ Levure and Galindo’s finest Colombian coffees were ready at Lamborghini to start the experience before the rally.

Although most registered vehicles didn’t show up because of the rain, a good number of beautiful exotics actually did, including Lambos, McLarens, Ferraris, and even a movie-style armored super truck, to enjoy a great Sunday driving under the rain, and to be part of a fun social gathering with friends and great food when arriving at HARAS. We had a good time, while trophies were awarded to the three best vehicles at the show. Although there wasn’t much to choose from, the three winners deserved the recognition: A Lamborghini, a Ferrari, and a “Fast and Furious”-style armored truck (People’s Choice Award).

142

BOYS' TOYS After the Award ceremony in the glass VIP room we enjoyed the Grand Finale of F.E.I.’s Jumper Horse Competition at the covered arena.

Part II of the HOUSTON EXOTIC AUTO FESTIVAL will be held at MSR Houston, this time in September, Saturday 23rd, and Sunday 24th, where great weather is expected. And this time around it comes with the great addition of Autoart World! Don’t miss it!

For the past eight years, HARAS Hacienda has hosted Houston’s most exquisite equestrian events, clinics, and shows, both for the general public and equine audiences. 2023 marked a significant landmark for our city, as HARAS was able to add for the first time in Houston the acclaimed Jumper Horse Competition through its Switzerland-based governing body Fédération Equestre Internationale -F.E.I.-. The 4-day Grand Prix event combined its Grand Finale day with the 2023 Houston Exotic Auto Festival. If you missed it, mark your calendar for May 2-5, 2024, for the second edition of this exciting competition.

Dressage is the home discipline of HARAS, being the most prominent national breeder of the beautiful and versatile Lusitano horses. HARAS Hacienda now hosts four level two recognized dressage shows and several schooling dressage shows. HARAS also hosts the Central Championship annual finals for both Young Horse Show Series and the United States Dressage Federation’s Southern Series Final for Dressage Sport Horse Breeding in hand. The Hunter Jumper shows have taken off and HARAS now hosts multiple annual events, including two Grand Prix: the Haras Cup and the Haras Jumping Spectacular FEI. HARAS Hacienda welcomes competitors that are just starting out all the way through top-level ranks.

Juventus Academy Houston started building its soccer legacy in Houston in 2015. Partnering with one of the best professional soccer clubs in the World, was just the beginning. Teaming up with the best people was crucial.

As a nonprofit organization, it is their mission to advocate for youth and community soccer education by taking small steps towards big change; having generous sponsors to support this program, made their footprint even bigger.

Juventus is one of Italy’s oldest and most successful clubs based in Turin, with more Italian league championships than any other team; one of the most followed football clubs in the world, with over 300 million supporters as well as 2 Champion European Leagues.

2020 was a tough year for humanity, but it didn’t stop their motto of “Never miss a practice”; they quickly implemented online classes and then came up with a social distance layout in the field to keep players doing what they love the most: playing soccer.

Their partnership opened to four years of successful and sold-out Summer Camps in Houston, bringing the international coaches from Juventus, Italy, to train young Houstonian players; in 2019 they decided to jump into an annual program in the Katy and Richmond areas, with one focus in mind: to lead kids to grow in the world of soccer by developing their technical and mental skills using the “Juventus Way”.

Time flies and in 2023 the success keeps on expanding, as they are growing roots in the Woodlands, Conroe, and Tomball areas.

146

Players are also offered international programs to give them a broader experience and exposure; they have the well-known “Juventus Training Experience”; this program puts players and families in Italy for a week, to have soccer training while enjoying cultural activities.

The most important annual tournament that takes place in Italy every summer: The “Juventus Academy World Cup”. This is where all Juventus academies worldwide meet to compete and win the CUP; it’s the closest any kid can get to feeling what real professional soccer players go through in the big tournaments.

They offer a variety of developmental soccer plans for girls and boys ages 5 to 19, that include youth recreational and competitive programs, and semi-pro teams. Juventus Academy brings sports and fitness to engage children of the community to invest their time in healthy living habits.

The partnership with Juventus also provides methodology, game model, guidelines, and documentation, with expert-led support, and real people to train the local coaches and make them become better innovators in the field with capabilities to adapt, thrive and shape their game.

Jhonny Di Girolamo, coming from a family that migrated from Italy after World War II, and having been raised in Venezuela and married a Venezuelan, lives by a core principle: “Treat others the way you want to be treated”. And with that in mind, their coaches are high achievers who train players to make a positive impact on their soccer skills and attitude, inside and outside the field.

As Juventus Academy Houston cares for every detail of its program, they offer the best available fields in the area; they count on turf fields for practice, which turns into almost no practice cancellation unless extreme weather conditions are present.

Jhonny is grateful for the opportunity to share with many families a way to see their kids grow and develop, keeping the Juventus philosophy of “raise people before players”. He’s very grateful to his family, and especially his wife, who are driving this project to become a legacy.

PLANNING FOR PLASTIC SURGERY When contemplating on plastic surgery, there are various important factors to consider to ensure a successful and satisfying outcome. We sat down with board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Cara Downey and Dr. Jamal Bullocks, at Heights Plastic Surgery to discuss the considerations patients should keep in mind when looking into plastic surgery.

1

RECOVERY TIME

2

SET REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

One crucial aspect to consider is the recovery time. Recovery periods can vary depending on overall health of the patient and the procedure they are receiving. “A good rule of thumb for any surgical procedure is to plan for at least 6 weeks of recovery,” Dr. Bullocks said. “It’s important think about upcoming trips, holidays and life events to ensure a patient is healed to fully participate in them.”

The images we see on TikTok and Instagram often give us a false sense of reality, so it’s important to have a realistic understanding of what can be achieved with plastic surgery. While experienced plastic surgeons can deliver stunning results, there are limitations to what can be attained. “To an extent we have to work with what we’re given. Plus the body has natural asymmetry. I always tell patients, particularly when it comes to the breast, we create sisters not twins,” Dr. Downey stated. Discussing your goals and expectations with your surgeon will guarantee that they align with what can be realistically achieved.

3 HOW TO ACCELERATE THE HEALING PROCESS

While healing varies from patient to patient, there are actions you can take to speed up the healing process.

• Following the post-op instructions provided by your surgeon is crucial. This includes taking care of the incision sites, wearing compression garments, and receiving the recommended post-operative lymphatic massages.

• Proper hydration and nutrition are also vital for the healing process. “We recommend increasing your protein intake to 90 grams a day during your healing process.” said Dr. Cara Downey.

• Additionally, keep stress to a minimum since stress hinders the body’s ability to heal. Ensure that you have sufficient support from your friends and family, and practice stress reducing techniques during your recovery.

4 CHOOSING YOUR PLASTIC SURGEON

Researching and picking the right plastic surgeon for you is of utmost importance. Price is certainly one of the biggest factors when considering plastic surgery, but it shouldn’t be the only one. “Make sure you learn your plastic surgeon’s credentials and experience. Ask where they perform their surgeries, what type of anesthesiologists do they us, etc. These are some of the important questions patients should be asking during the consultation,” said Dr. Bullocks.

T-VISA AND GREEN CARD OPTIONS for Immigrants who are Victims of Human Trafficking

156

IMMIGRATION

Human trafficking, often referred to as “modern-day slavery” is the fastestgrowing illegal international industry averaging over $150 billion a year. Texas has the highest numbers of human trafficking in our country, due to the state’s large population and its international border. Immigrants and children are the most vulnerable to this heinous crime, which is why Congress created the T-visa, in October 2000 as part of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act. T-visa is considered a non-immigrant visa, and it offers protection for victims while strengthening the ability of law enforcement agencies to prosecute human traffickers.

T-nonimmigrant status is a temporary immigration benefit that enables victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons to remain in the United States for an initial period of up to 4 years if they have complied with any reasonable request for assistance from law enforcement in the detection, investigation, or prosecution of human trafficking.

Under federal law, a “severe form of trafficking in persons” is: • Sex trafficking: When someone recruits, harbors, transports, provides, solicits, patronizes, or obtains a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act, where the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or the person being induced to perform such act is under 18 years of age; or • Labor trafficking: When someone recruits, harbors, transports, provides, or obtains a person for labor or services through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery.

An individual must prove eligibility for the T-visa by showing that he/she: o

o

Is or was a victim of a severe form of trafficking in person as defined above.

Is physically present in the United States, American Samoa, the Commonwealth and Northern Mariana Island, or at a port of entry due to trafficking.

• Form I-914B, Supplemental B, Declaration of Law Enforcement Officer for Victims of Trafficking in person and evidence to establish complying with reasonable requests for assisting the law enforcement.

•

A waiver on Form I-192 (if needed).

There are certain benefits associated with the T-visa. Individuals who are issued a T-visa can work and reside in the United States lawfully. Eligible family members of the trafficking victims who have received T nonimmigrant status can apply for a special T visa for derivatives as well. These family members include the spouse, child, parent, or an unmarried minor sibling of a victim of trafficking who is under 21 years of age, or the spouse or child of a victim of trafficking who is 21 years of age or older. Also, derivatives can apply for work permits as well and there is no fee associated with the application for T-visa.

Also, under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the sole Federal agency authorized to certify foreign adult victims of human trafficking, and foreign minor victims of trafficking so that they are eligible for Federal and State benefits and services to the same extent as refugees admitted to the United States. Certification and Eligibility Letters are issued by the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Certified and eligible victims of human trafficking and their derivatives can receive benefits and services necessary for their safety, protection, and basic well-being, such as housing and food assistance, income assistance, employment assistance, healthcare, and foster care.

After three years of obtaining their T-visa status, T-visa applicants and their derivatives are eligible to apply for lawful permanent residency (green card option), and eventually apply for citizenship.

Human trafficking occurs every day and we all must be aware of it. Over 2 million children are trafficked yearly for forced labor and sexual exploitation.

o

Has complied with any reasonable request from a law enforcement agency for assistance in the investigation or prosecution of human trafficking.

o

Demonstrates suffering of extreme hardships if removed from the United States.

As always, at LUXCIOR we like to share as much information as possible to educate our community. We highly recommend all the latest movies on Human Trafficking, particularly on the trafficking of children “Sound of Freedom”. This movie shines a light on the crime of sexual exploitation of children with a very powerful message that “God’s Children are NOT for Sale”. Watching this movie is a start to everyone’s efforts to combat human trafficking. It all starts with awareness, and we must not forget or ignore this issue.

o

Is admissible to the United States (if not admissible due to crimes or other issues, may be eligible for a waiver on Form I-192).

To pay it forward so others who are not able can watch this movie for free you can donate at: angel.com/freedom.

To apply for the T-nonimmigrant status, one must submit: •

Evidence of a form of trafficking in person as defined earlier.

For more information, you can contact the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1.888.373.7888.

• Form I-914, Application for T Non-immigrant status, including a personal statement.
