MIDAS TOUCH Sonia Pedrazzini has been working on her Le Morandine project since 2009, bringing three-dimensionality to the paintings of Giorgio Morandi. The artist was famous for his stylized still lifes in muted palettes, but Pedrazzini’s ceramic vases, handcrafted in her native Italy, come in a rather more vivid range of colors, and she has recently added metallic iterations to the collection. Each vessel is stamped with the designer’s monogram and is presented with a certificate of authenticity. lemorandine.it

FIRE PL ACES

THE GRATE OUTDOORS Embrace the cooler evenings and the shorter days by investing in an outdoor fireplace. Focus was the first company to take the fireplace out of the wall and into the middle of the room, so it’s a logical progression for the brand to have turned its attention to outside spaces. There are currently seven models to choose from, available in black or rust, which have all been given an anti-corrosion treatment. Four suspended and pivoting fires include Gyrofocus, which has a wider firepit, and the Egrofocus (left), whose pit is deeper and squatter, and three wallmounted models. All Focus outdoor fires are compatible with cooking, but must be installed under shelter and at least 6.2 miles (10 km) from the coast. focus-fireplaces.com

LIGHTING

In the ring It took Ted Bradley a year and “hundreds of fails” to perfect the illuminated rings that make up his Samsara chandelier. Inspired by the “arching ribs of a whale skeleton bleached in the sun,” it is both a piece of sculpture and a lighting solution. Each handmade ring takes weeks to create, and the size, metal type, and ﬁnish can be customized. Thanks to its warm, dimmable LED lights, the chandelier will cast a candlelight-like glow over a dining table or illuminate a whole room. tedbradleystudio.com

BACK TO THE ’80S It’s been 40 years since the acclaimed Memphis Group first exhibited at Milan’s Arc ’74 gallery, shaking up the design world with shapes, colors, and patterns that drew inspiration from Pop Art, 1950s kitsch, emerging tech, and futuristic imagery. To mark the occasion, Hovia has transformed iconic 1980s Memphis designs into a range of wallpapers in a palette of pinks, purples, reds, oranges, and blues. Hovia’s designer Tori Dennett says, “The Memphis collection has been almost a year in the making. After initially drawing more than 70 sketches, we narrowed it down to six designs that we felt took the modern ’80s aesthetic that is so classically Memphis into 2021.” hovia.com

Twin One is a square wall mirror that has a delicate brass frame surrounding it, only making contact at the corners, while the fulllength Twin Duo—perfect for bedrooms and hallways— looks like a stretched, elongated version of its sibling. The Twins are designed by Michele di Fonzo for Italian brand Frag, which started life in 1921 producing leather and hide furniture, and today creates homewares and accessories in all shapes, sizes, and materials. frag.it

SPIRITS

MAJOR TOM Old Tom gin—slightly sweeter than London gin—was popular in the 18th century. It’s unknown who Old Tom was, but we suspect he would approve of Boatyard’s new version of the namesake spirit. Boatyard was the first distillery in Ireland to make an Old Tom gin, and, in a new spin on the traditional method, the spirit rests in first-fi ll Pedro Ximénez casks. Once it is aged, a small dash of Pedro Ximénez sherry is added. The result is a robust drink with notes of fig and toffee, and a certain smokiness. Made in small batches, Boatyard Old Tom is created using organic wheat spirit and is distilled with juniper and botanics including wild sweet gale, coriander, and licorice. It’s delicious with tonic but equally suited to sipping neat over ice. boatyarddistillery.com

What’s the time Mr. Wolf? Simon Wolf loves watches, and creates beautiful safes in which to keep them Words STEPHANIE JONES

Time is precious: Wolf’s watch cabinets (above) and jewelry cases (left) are handcrafted in the finest materials; the company’s watch safes (below) come with an app, which allows owners to set the winder to control each of their timepieces separately.

Finding one’s path can sometimes be attributed to luck. Simon Philip Wolf was wondering what his next step might be when, thanks to his father, he joined Wolf, purveyors of cases and safes to house precious jewels, watches, and so much more. Wolf, now managing director and head of design, is the fi ft h generation to immerse himself in the family firm. “I was 19, kicking my heels with no intention of going down the family route when I heeded my father’s suggestion that I try it out. I began in the factory and found it intriguing. I was bitten…” The Wolf heritage dates back to 1834, when Philip Wolf set up the company in Hanau, Germany. Today it is a global business with headquarters in England and offices in Los Angeles and Hong Kong. A Wolf jewelry or watch case is as much a thing of beauty as the cherished cargo it protects. Designs range from classic to contemporary, offering clients more than 500 variations—colors, hinges, studs, quilting, embroidery—to choose from. For security, the company’s renowned safes are a superb fusion of aesthetic and functionality. Wolf offers the bespoke Atlas collection, where a customer can configure the interior, rows and drawers, and color; or a completely made-to-order Churchill safe, where one can match personal tastes by choosing the leather, stitching, and hardware. But it’s the watch winder inside that makes a Wolf safe incomparable. “A watch has a beating heart inside of it,” Wolf says. “The movement of one’s wrist moves a metal disc inside; this rotor applies pressure to the mainspring and that is where the store energy comes from to keep the watch running. When not being worn the mainspring loses its energy and the watch will stop. A Wolf winder mimics a day in the life of a watch. It’s a precision handmade instrument we have patented, the only winder in the world that counts rotations.” It is an ingenious system, and for Simon Wolf a necessity. How many watches does he have? “I have 40, with my eye on a Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris next.” wolf1834.com

AC ADEMIA

The art of living The American Academy in Rome invites you to immerse yourself in the Eternal City

“Rome is like an outdoor museum, it’s amazing to see people living and working there, being able to take a walk through the Forum, or a stroll around the tomb of Augustus,” says Mark Robbins, president and CEO of The American Academy in Rome. Established in 1894, the academy is the United States’ oldest overseas center for independent studies in advanced research in the arts and humanities. It gives artists and scholars in 11 disciplines the chance to live and work in the Italian capital, and is the only establishment on earth that “exceeds what universities are able to do in terms of providing the time and space to develop projects without any external requirements.” Each year the academy sponsors highly competitive fellowships, offering fellows work space, accommodation, and board at the institution’s 11-acre (4.5 ha) campus on Rome’s Janiculum Hill, as well as a stipend on which to survive. “It’s a multidisciplinary community where everybody is similarly dislocated,” says Robbins, himself a fellow in the 1990s.

“Being a stranger in a place allows you to discover new things, similar to when you’re a tourist. The city becomes vivid, open to you. It’s a unique experience, then, to have this community of people to share and question these discoveries.” Among those who have passed through the academy are painter Philip Guston, a fellow in 1949; writer Anthony Doerr, who wrote the acclaimed Four Seasons in Rome while at the academy in 2005, and also started his Pulitzer Prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See there; and medieval scholar Marina Rustow in 2007. Robbins, who took the reins in 2014, hopes that today it is “a place that reflects the broadness of American culture, that is really based on difference and also more global. We are not a monoculture.” To reflect this, the academy has initiated a program for faculty from Tuskegee University in Alabama, and—through the Institute of International Education— for artists affected by civil conflict from places such as Syria and South Africa. This year, the gift of “time and space to think and work” was awarded to 35 Americans plus five Italian artists and scholars, across disciplines including Renaissance and Early Modern Studies, Architecture, Modern Italian Studies, and Musical Composition. The Rome Prize competition runs until November 2021. To learn more, visit the website at aarome.org/apply/rome-prize

Bright and beautiful: A bold use of color and pattern brings life and character to homes decorated by David Mitchell Brown (below right), while a simple neutral base allows for rooms of any size to evolve over time.

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT

DAVID MITCHELL BROWN

BRANTLEY PHOTOGRAPHY

Based in Florida, the designer mines his clients’ personal style to bring a relaxed atmosphere and pops of color into their homes Whenever David “Mitch” Brown is approached about a commission, the first thing he does is study the property in question. “Even if I’ve been asked to do a Georgian-style house and give it a modern interior, I still want to find ways to reference the architecture,” he says. “The transformation should be clever, but it shouldn’t feel foreign to the home.” He also looks at the people who live there. “I pay close attention to how my clients dress, what they wear, what’s in the closet. Are they blonde, brunette, ginger? These are

all clues to what colors make them happy and comfortable.” It’s this expert use of color that brings Brown’s schemes to life. “As a designer we do many white, gray, beige, or taupe rooms,” he says. “I love to break it up, toss in a punch of color for fun. If the base color of the room is neutral it will never tire, so if we do add a saffron pillow or a blue lampshade we can always change it if we want a new look in a few years. Whatever we do as the punch, it usually becomes the client’s favorite element.”

lu x u r y d e f i n e d . c o m

Brown traveled extensively, working for “some of the most respected designers in the country,” before setting up his own company. And while each of his projects looks very different, his overall objective remains the same. “My goal is to create a home that is a smart and distinct reflection of my client. Always comfortable. I also think my style is a unique fusion of West Coast meets East Coast.” The designer has just remodeled his own home, and is now working on “a fabulous Mediterranean-style villa on the ocean in Palm Beach, a beautiful home in Charleston, and a modern apartment in downtown Philadelphia. But all my projects are exciting because I have been blessed with wonderful clients.” dmitchbrown.com

ARCHITECT Q&A

Sarah Calburn The well-traveled founder of her own South African architectural studio explains how unique landscapes and human relationships provide the inspiration for her work

lu x u r y d e f i n e d . c o m

G ALLERY

Was it always your ambition to be an architect?

I filled out my university entrance forms for urban design, then boringly known as town planning. Three days into it I found myself in a fluorescent-lit basement economics lecture, from which I bolted upstairs to join the architecture students. I’d seen them having serious fun in this rather wonderful Modernist architecture building. Six months into that, I never looked back. You have worked in Europe, Asia, and Australia, as well as your native South Africa—how have these opportunities shaped your work?

Aged 20, I worked in Paris doing high-tech detailing for a practice that had been a part of the Centre Pompidou team. I graduated at 23 and over the next four years experienced an intensive apprenticeship with a small practice, during which I designed, drew, and built something like 20 houses. I then took my portfolio with me to Australia and Hong Kong. The latter was an exhausting experience—I designed a new high-rise cluster project for China every week.

DAVID ROSS

In harmony with nature: Sarah Calburn (above), shot exclusively for Christie’s International Real Estate at Cuilidh, looks to the South African countryside to spark ideas for her designs. “My buildings form themselves in tandem with their landscapes, clients, and weathers, in a mutual dance,” she explains.

lu x u r y d e f i n e d . c o m

G ALLERY

Endless horizons: A use of glass, steel, and timber brings the outside in at (clockwise from above left) Little Cliff House, Cuilidh, Sea House, and Cocoon House, while the grounds of each home are planted with local flora.

We have the most beautiful climate—we live with our doors open for most of the year. We have extremely beautiful natural landscapes throughout the country. More than simply framing views, buildings can set up generous points of view onto society and the world. How do you like to approach a brief?

Standing on the site and listening very closely to my clients is crucial. Often you become an impromptu marriage counselor, so listening to people’s desires is vitally informative and challenging, in the sense that I regard friction as an opportunity. Tell us about some recent projects?

My latest house was made for a molecular biologist who lost her husband after 40-plus years of happy marriage. She went looking for a spectacular Cape coastal site. Cuilidh is one of my tentacular buildings—it flexes and dips in and out of the ancient dune landscape. It has something of the Scottish Hebrides archipelago about it. How did you create Sea House?

I don’t approach any building with preconceptions. The Sea House came from a reaction to the dramatic

site and some ruins it contained, alongside the desire of its racing-yacht-sail manufacturer clients to be totally private, with a wow factor. It was built almost exactly as the first sketch design I presented to the clients. The Sea House responds to the vastness of the curving sea horizon on one front, and the intimacy of the landscape to its rear with a series of coves or beaches. The roof is planted as a coastal path. Where is your own home and what is it like?

I live in a house on top of a quartzite ridge overlooking the old city of Johannesburg. It’s an old house that I have altered sequentially upon the arrival of each of my two children. I must have a view—one’s thoughts can roll out over the present and into the future. If you could live in any building in the world, which would you choose and why?

I’d live in a shack on the edge of Sydney Harbour, or a glass penthouse in Tokyo. I’d live in another shack on the Andaman Sea, where I’d sleep on a four-poster bed on the veranda under a mosquito net, or in a crumbling mansion in Sri Lanka, or a traditional village house in Japan… all of which I’d alter. sarahcalburn.co.za

Guillermo Lorca Inspired by the Old Masters, the Chilean painter brings an operatic sense of drama to his large-format, eerily beautiful canvases Words STEVEN SHORT Portrait JAIME ARRAU

G ALLERY

Gothic dreamland: Strange, haunted-looking children and untamed creatures feature heavily in Lorca’s oil-on-canvas paintings, such as (clockwise from top left) Henry; The Landing; Laura and the Dogs; and La Cama Inglesa.

uillermo Lorca’s vast works have been described as more like operas than mere paintings. “Curiously, opera was the first music that I loved as a child, I asked my mother to play it on car trips,” says the Chilean painter. “There is a relationship in my compositions with the staging of an opera, but not with the content of them. In my paintings I don’t seek to illustrate a story but to suggest one that is the product of unconscious forces.” The stories Lorca seeks to evoke often include elements of magic realism, wild beasts, and disturbed-looking young girls, and call to mind the work of French artist Gustave Doré—who he cites as an influence—along with Velázquez and Rembrandt. “I’ve known of Rembrandt since I was a child and was always intrigued by the atmosphere he created. Over time I became obsessed with his brushwork and glazes. Seeing his work in person, it always stands out from other paintings, it has something very powerful.” Lorca grew up in Santiago, Chile, and was encouraged to draw and paint from an early age by his writer mother and his lawyer father. “The first drawings I remember doing were of dinosaurs fighting, which was also the subject of my first oil painting. I still have it.” At 16 Lorca started training under Chilean artist Sergio Montero before moving to Norway to study with Odd Nerdrum, one of the greatest living figurative painters.

“From him I learned some technical things, but my main lesson was to see the personal dedication and attitude that he had towards his work, in which he managed to capture the deepest, most authentic parts of his being… I knew that I had to find that mental place and that attitude in myself.” Lorca’s works begin “with an idea linked to a specific feeling. The image may be spontaneous or the product of other images I’ve seen. I’ve never had the complete vision of a painting.” He compiles related images and then makes preliminary sketches on his computer, adding photos and digital painting “until I have a very defined sketch that I use as a guide to paint. The pictorial process is not very different to that of a few centuries ago: I draw first with pastel or charcoal, then I begin to paint the first layers.” The paintings and figures in them that Lorca creates are life-size because “I have many ideas that require many elements, it’s not something I do on purpose.” With their seemingly ferocious animals and almost menacing children, there is an air of malevolence to some of Lorca’s works. “There are some paintings where creatures can be threatening, just as they are in the internal and external worlds of an individual. But I’d like to think that my paintings have a happy ending, that despite the situations I paint, harmony and beauty manage to win the game.” guillermolorca.com

THE WINE EXPERT

In praise of Zinfandel Caitlin Miller, Specialist, Wines & Spirits, Christie’s New York Early in my wine education, I often dismissed Zinfandel as a cheap jug wine. A bottle of well-aged Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel dispelled this notion, and sparked my deep love for this versatile grape. When the grape first arrived in California in 1852, it became the darling of the nascent wine industry. But despite its popularity, Zinfandel had a few flaws: it often lacked color, ripened unevenly, and could have either high or low acid depending on environmental factors. To combat these issues, winemakers adopted a method that was common in many Mediterranean regions: field blending. This is the practice of interplanting different grape varieties in a single vineyard and co-fermenting them in a single vat. Using the right selection of grapes, this process can create a more balanced and complex wine.

Many vineyards planted in the late 1800s and early 1900s included a mix of complementary varieties, such as Alicante Bouschet, Petite Sirah and Mataro (Mourvèdre). It was common for field blends to contain 20 different varieties, but some early vineyards had as many as 40, including white grapes, which add aromatics and help stabilize color. A few of these original field-blended vineyards still survive. With vines now averaging more than 100 years of age, their wines are powerful, complex, and capable of long cellar aging. Ridge Vineyards, one of the most famous producers of Zinfandel-based field blends, is a personal favorite.

A perfect blend: Three bottles of Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel sold for $1,875 in July 2020, at the Benjamin Ichinose Collection of Fine and Rare Wines sale.

Bottles produced in the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s, from vineyards such as Geyserville and Lytton Springs, are spectacular today. We were thrilled to include several of these bottlings in the successful Benjamin Ichinose sale in July 2020. Other vineyards to seek out include Bedrock, Pagani Ranch, Carlisle, and Nervo Ranch—the balance, depth, and complexity you get from these sites is impressive.

ALAMY (MAP)

Nestled in the Scottish Highlands, Ardross Distillery is giving whisky connoisseurs the chance to invest in the perfect single malt “Like everything worth having, creating good whisky takes time. It was this ethos that bonded me with the founders of the Ardross Distillery, who were also embracing the inherent importance of adapting slow and considered movement to create a company of substance,” says Andrew Rankin, ex-director of Morrison Bowmore and the Scotch Whisky Research Institute, and now chairman and master blender of the newly founded Ardross Distillery. The “substance” Rankin is talking about is the Ardross single malt, produced in the Averon Valley, at the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Ardross, which

began production in 2019, is one of the few distilleries in Scotland with its own loch, and the only one that presents whisky connoisseurs with the chance to craft and own a custom-made, small-batch scotch. The recently launched Ardross Single Cask Society is an invitation-only initiative that offers investors a unique cask-ownership proposition—members sign a purchase agreement for 12 casks of Ardross single malt at £30,000 ($41,028), with the selling price of each agreement increasing by £3,000 ($4,103) every year for 12 years. “This is a hugely exciting opportunity where we will be offering a transparent, no-nonsense framework for high-quality cask ownership that includes 12 years of warehousing, insurance, and free access to the Ardross Distillery,” says Barth Brosseau, the company’s director. The Ardross single malt will, says Rankin, “be incredibly smooth while retaining a richness and complexity that will appeal to the sophisticated whisky drinker.” Members will also have access to the Ardross Creation Suite, allowing them to craft whisky for their own bespoke casks, guided by the Ardross team and choosing barley, yeast, water, and distillates from stills of various shapes and sizes. And a limited amount of peated single malt will be available not only to society members but whisky drinkers everywhere. theardross.com

F E AT U R E D P R O P E R T Y

A great escape: Nestled on 100 acres (40 ha) of lush grounds, the estate is a haven for wildlife and a magnificent country retreat for residents.

ating back to 1670, Kilmurry House, County Kilkenny, is one of the finest country manors in Ireland. But beyond the handsome Palladian-style façade, its considerable charm is enhanced by its rich history. Celebrated Irish artist Mildred Anne Butler was born in the Grade I listed Georgian property, and lived there for the whole of her long and purposeful life. A member of the Royal Academy from 1893, she was an acclaimed painter for more than 30 years, and Kilmurry, with its exquisite walled garden, tranquil trout lake, and verdant woodland, was the inspiration for many of her finest en plein air paintings that depict the abundant wildlife and flora surrounding this magnificent home. Originally purchased in the late 1800s by her father, Captain Henry Butler, grandson of the 11th Viscount Mountgarret, the house remained in the family until 1981. A restoration has extended the building to 17,861 square feet (1,659 sq m) and the expansive property now boasts 11 bedrooms and

seven full baths, as well as a newly added indoor swimming pool. “When the current owners took charge about 11 years ago it was on 20 acres (8 ha), but they have since bought back its gated lodge plus land to make it up to the original 100-acre (40 ha) estate,” says Roseanne de Vere Hunt, head of country homes, farms, and estates at Sherry FitzGerald, the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate in Ireland. “The house is surrounded by mature woodland giving total privacy, and once you drive through the gates there is simply peace and quiet, which is exactly what people are looking to Ireland for—lowdensity living and a calm, relaxed lifestyle.” Beyond the gated entry, a tree-lined drive leads through the grounds ending at a smart forecourt. Step inside the majestic limestone building, and Butler’s legacy soon becomes clear. Generously proportioned ground-level rooms take in a bright entrance hall, an elegant drawing room with views over the lake, a comfortable sitting room and library, and a formal dining room, as well as a unique gallery space and a light-filled orangery that once served as the artist’s studio. “All of the

reception rooms feature original carved fireplaces and moldings, and are perfect for entertaining,” says de Vere Hunt. “The upgraded orangery replaces a previous structure that was in poor condition, and the space—a favorite of the current owners—is now bright, airy, and quite wonderful. It really does invite you to just sit and relax.” Also on the first floor is a fully equipped chef ’s kitchen with marble surfaces and professionalgrade appliances, a games room—once a grand ballroom—with access to the ample terrace, and the contemporary indoor pool. Additionally, there is a self-contained courtyard cottage. “This has its own kitchen and sitting room, and could be used for guests or as staff quarters,” says de Vere Hunt. “The same goes for the two-bedroom gated lodge, which has a modern kitchen and bath.” Move upstairs via the sunlit, open staircase, and the second and third floors are home to a relaxing entertainment room as well as the bedrooms, with Irish charm: A dramatic staircase in the hallway, a sleek chef’s kitchen, and bright, airy reception rooms offer the perfect combination of grandeur, comfort, and convenience; leisure spaces such as the courtyard and pool (opposite) are overlooked by mature greenery.

the impressive owners’ suite located at the very top of the house. With an original fireplace, a dressing room, and a chic bath, the suite also benefits from views over the two-acre (0.8 ha) walled garden that inspired much of Butler’s work, most notably her best-known painting, The Lilac Phlox, which is a plant that still flourishes there to this day. Perhaps the building’s greatest attribute is the amount of light that floods every space, thanks to the vast glass doors and double-height windows that feature throughout. “It’s such a rarity in a period property like this,” notes de Vere Hunt. “You can see from an artist’s point of view that it was an unbelievable space to work from.” The grounds are a nature lover’s sanctuary, offering mature woodlands—a haven for wildlife including eagles, otters, and red squirrels—as well as pastures for horses and livestock, paddocks, a children’s adventure trail with a zip line through the woods, lush, lawned gardens, and space for a helipad. “In my opinion, there is nothing on the market now as good as Kilmurry. The current owners have expertly refurbished the house for the 21st century while retaining the integrity of the original build,” says de Vere Hunt. ‘It’s in walk-in condition, and what’s more, it won’t need attention for many years to come. This standard and finish are rare, which makes it an unmissable opportunity for buyers looking for history, privacy, and security in a pocket of rural Ireland.”

“To be an artist is to believe in life,” said Henry Moore. And to see art is to feel alive. It liberates our souls, feeds our imaginations and breaks down barriers; it brings joy and can prompt sudden sadness, but most of all it makes us free… In an era when the future of cultural institutions is more uncertain than ever, some brave newcomers have popped their heads above the parapet, daring to open for the first time during the pandemic. We round up the best of them.

Bourse de Commerce Gallery Paris, France François Pinault, the French businessman and founder of luxury group Kering, says that art is “the best medicine.” Never has this idea been loaded with more meaning. In the ﬁnal throes of its completion, his 21-year project to build a museum in Paris to house his art collection was further delayed by the Covid crisis. On May 22, 2021, however, the Pinault Collection ﬁnally opened its doors at the Bourse de Commerce in Paris. The vast exhibit includes Modernist masterworks by Mondrian and Rothko alongside pieces by contemporary artists including Jeff Koons, Urs Fischer, and Cindy Sherman. The 19th-century stock exchange that houses the gallery has been exquisitely reimagined by architect Tadao Ando. At the core of the redesign is an austere concrete structure within the walls of the glass-domed rotunda. Initially Pinault was surprised by the notion of this circle within a circle. “But after thinking about it, I realized that was exactly what needed to be done,” he says. “And it’s extraordinarily done. My intention was to show that this remarkable old building could exist in harmony with a radical 21st-century design. By allowing today’s architects to appropriate this old building, and do something radically new with it, that’s a way of showing that life goes on.” pinaultcollection.com

Kathryn Sargent, shot exclusively for Christie’s International Real Estate by Sebastian Böttcher, signaled the future of Savile Row when she became London’s first female master tailor.

Having founded her company in 2012, Sargent (left) creates bespoke suits for both men and women that combine a quintessentially British style with a contemporary twist.

t’s easy to think that the world’s citizens will never feel the need to look smart again. First came the seemingly unstoppable rise of sportsinspired clothing over the past decade, which has made wearing a suit seem hopelessly old fashioned. Next came lockdown, with its tsunami of sweatpants and all things stretch. As we emerge from the latter, we might easily assume that a love of tailoring, suits, and formal dressing will become a niche interest, but for those not yet ready to surrender to a life of loungewear there are moves afoot to subvert the narrative of fine tailoring’s decline. “It was worrying during the lockdown that people’s need for tailoring would vanish, but, thankfully, there’s still a real demand,” says Kathryn Sargent, London’s only female master tailor, whose atelier is located on the worldfamous Savile Row. Formerly head cutter at Gieves & Hawkes, the storied militaryinfluenced outfitter, Sargent set up her eponymous label in 2012 to offer a new take on bespoke tailoring for both men and women. “I’m getting more and more commissions to take things to couture levels of uniqueness and

lu x u r y d e f i n e d . c o m

detailing, like adding embroidered details,” says Sargent. “During lockdown last year, for example, I made a 1930s-inspired suit with a hobble skirt with a placket [covered opening], curved cuff embroidery, concealed buttons, and interchangeable embroidered collars for a very discerning female client.” Similar moves are afoot at nearby Gormley & Gamble, Savile Row’s first label founded by and made exclusively for women. Given that tailoring has traditionally been such a masculine business, the brand is reinventing the very notion of what a suit might be and who it is intended for. “If done correctly, modern tailoring reflects the playful power of femininity to me,” says Phoebe Gormley, the founder of Gormley & Gamble, who set up her brand at the tender age of 20 in 2014. She started making clothes at the age of 13, inspired by her grandmother, who was an excellent seamstress in her own right. “Taking the suit our fathers wore and yearned to take off at the end of the day—a suit that felt drab, restrictive, and heavy—and reimagining it as something vivacious, powerful, and a little rebellious is my mission,” Gormley adds.

Gormley & Gamble

The company is committed to sustainability as well as artisan practices—cornerstones of the tailors who aspire to flourish in today’s ethically sensitive market. “I am really proud to champion the artisan mills in northern England and Scotland that we work with,” says Gormley. “While so much of the fashion industry is looking elsewhere and desperately trying to make clothes ever cheaper to sell on for higher prices, our suits are made to last, which is why we rely on those mills and manufacturers who have a similar ethos to us.” In a sea of elasticated waistbands and dull, comfort-led conformity, it’s perhaps not difficult to appreciate the pure sensory pleasure of wearing and enjoying beautiful clothes that are handmade and unique. Brooklyn-based menswear label Bode is another brand at the cutting edge of this new sensibility.

“Each of Bode’s pieces is made in New York, with local tailors who cut each garment by hand,” says the label’s founder, Emily Bode. “Our fabrics are globally sourced. The quilts we use come from Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, while our linens and wools are from France, England, and Italy.

the “vegan” suits made by tailors King & Allen. Jake Allen, the label’s co-founder, says, “Our vegan suit is made entirely free from animal products—this will mean not using wool or cashmere, or even silk in the lining. We like to use cloth made from bamboo, cotton, and linen and we recently launched a fabric made entirely from recycled plastic bottles.” And it’s not only the cloth they use that follows this animal-free ethos. “We love corozo buttons,” says Allen, “which are made from the corozo nut. Each nut has a unique grain, which is as individual as your fingerprint.” This creative yet ethical approach to tailoring sits comfortably with the newly minted hybrid model of working that business trend forecasters say we’re heading towards. A typical working week will mean time both in the office and working from home. A combination of smart and casual, flexible working, and a concern for the environment resonates with Angel Ramos, creative director at New York City’s 18th Amendment, whose name refers to the law that banned the sale of alcohol in the United States between 1919 and 1933.

As in Gormley’s case, there was a seamstress in the Ramos family too—his mother worked in the garment industry, and she made a lot of the family’s clothes. The pieces he creates today are inspired by Prohibition-era tailoring, typified by wide trousers and generously lapeled jackets—a style that’s relaxed yet formal and sits easily with our contemporary demand for comfort. “What many of our customers realized during the lockdown is that they want to invest in better quality, even if that means they acquire less of it,” says Myles Kusaba, operations director of 18th Amendment. “The idea of having a lot of low-quality garments not only creates waste, it also shows a lack of care.” But perhaps the label’s biggest draws are the famously stylish men it takes inspiration from. “We like to say our style is Gianni Agnelli, the elegant Italian businessman, meets Jean-Michel Basquiat, the downtown graffiti artist,” says Kusaba, referencing two icons and suit wearers who are about as far away from elasticated waistbands and sportswear as you can get.

Upscale motoring brands are heading for the water—and yacht-loving consumers are only too happy to take the plunge Words DOMINIQUE AFACAN

lu x u r y d e f i n e d . c o m

hether cruising behind the wheel of the latest supercar or at the helm of a superyacht, freedom, speed, innovation, and style are all par for the course. Is it any wonder, then, that the nautical and automobile worlds occasionally join forces, and to spectacular effect? Recent collaborations between car and yacht brands prove that there is growing demand for such creations, while a quick glance through the pages of the marine history books shows that such partnerships have been around for decades. Back in the 1990s, two lauded Italian design powerhouses—Riva and Ferrari—teamed up to create a limited-edition fleet of speedboats. Only 40 were built, with elite teams from both sides working together to ensure a flawless finished product that perfectly reflected both brands. The result was a masterpiece, both in terms of form and function. With an F1 Ferrari carbon fiber spoiler overhead, classic Riva hull lines and a top

speed of 54 knots (62 mph), it was guaranteed to turn heads. One of the original 40, the Riva Ferrari 32, named for its length in feet, recently sold at auction for $69,000; it seems these power couples don’t go out of fashion. Fast-forward to today and there are new collaborations galore. Take The Italian Sea Group and car brand Lamborghini. Together, they have created the eye-catching Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, a limited-edition motoryacht that takes inspiration from the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 hypercar. With its ultramodern lines, cutting-edge technology, and dynamic engineering, it’s easy to see how the yacht has been both influenced and inspired by the sports car. As Lamborghini’s CEO Stefano Domenicali says, “If I had to imagine a Lamborghini on the water, this would be my vision.” Of course, these sorts of collaborations also make perfect commercial sense. “Our customer profiles are similar,” explains Lamborghini’s

head of design, Mitja Borkert. “They are all enthusiasts of classic Italian design and high performance. They are fascinated by the world of luxury yachts because, just like cars, they are a fusion of style and technology.” For the yachting industry, there is equal appeal; most consumers are often far more familiar with car marques, and so aligning with a trusted brand name is an attractive idea. Stewart Campbell, editor-in-chief of yachting bible Boat International, agrees. “We all know who the big carmakers are, but the average person in the street would probably struggle to name the world’s big boat brands, apart from maybe Riva. So as a way to lure people into the yachting market, I can certainly understand why some marketers think it’s a good idea to stick a car badge on a boat. Plus, it makes headlines.” Take the Aston Martin AM37, designed alongside Quintessence Yachts, which turned heads when it made its debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2016. The day cruiser features a carbon fiber dashboard and a wraparound windscreen created from a single piece of glass. Even the steering wheel, crafted in the finest leather and polished metal, seemed to have

“It was important when considering the AM37 to make sure that the boat design was as beautiful and timeless as our cars.” Marek Reichman been plucked straight from one of their classic cars. Suddenly, Aston Martin fans who had never contemplated the superyacht lifestyle were looking seaward, wondering whether they should get involved. Design-wise, at least, the transition from automobile to yacht feels reassuringly familiar. “The AM37 is a pure translation of the Aston Martin DNA into an entirely new maritime concept,” Aston Martin’s chief creative officer Marek Reichman explains. “The powerboat reflects our values in terms of power, beauty, and soul. It was important to us when considering this project to make sure that the boat design was as beautiful and timeless as our cars.” Equally attention-grabbing is the Super Sport 65, from Italian high-performance sports car maker Pininfarina. Built in collaboration with Italian shipyard Rossinavi, the spectacular 215-foot (65.5 m) vessel is finished entirely in aluminum. Lexus has also translated what it knows about cars into yachts with its sleek LY 650, which is 65 feet long (20 m) with a strong,

LY 650 According to Lexus executive vice president Shigeki Tomoyama, this boat was created to “present a dreamlike vision of the luxury lifestyle; one where the Lexus Yacht expands the potential of Lexus mobility to the ocean.”

lu x u r y d e f i n e d . c o m

pronounced bow and curved deck. “Viewed from the profile, the rise and fall of the yacht’s distinctly Lexus roofline flows into rising, broad hips of the rear section,” as its makers put it. Of course, while there are clear synergies between cars and yachts, there are also huge differences, which present big challenges to manufacturers. “As tough as some cars are built, boats have it much harder,” explains Campbell. “They’re required to survive in salt water, which is just an unbelievably harsh and aggressively corrosive environment, and put up with the extreme stresses and strains that come with operating in heavy seas.” Campbell suggests that these issues could be the reason that, although successful in their own right, no car brands have yet gone on to seriously challenge market share. “The key obstacle, I think, is that while it might make sense to a mainstream audience for a carmaker to build a boat, the people actually buying boats are a fairly canny bunch who appreciate things like brand equity, after-sales support, resale value, etc… Why, for instance, would you buy a car-badged boat over, say, a Sunseeker?”

Super Sport 65 Pininfarina used its expertise in car design to create an aluminum superyacht that can host up to 12 guests in its six cabins, and there are crew quarters too.

“Our clients are fascinated by the world of luxury yachts because, just like cars, they are a fusion of style and technology.” Mitja Borkert Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. Perhaps Etienne Salomé will be one of them. The designer responsible for creating the world’s most expensive car, the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, recently started his own watercraft company, Salomé Yachts. So far images of the brand’s first concept have been elusive, but it is reported to be a tender with an aerodynamic aesthetic and a Garmin glass cockpit. At 39 feet (12 m), it is to be powered by twin 440 hp Volvo engines, making it capable of reaching speeds up to 60 knots (69 mph). If ever there was such a thing as a racing car on the water, this is surely it. As the famed and glamorous circuit of yacht shows, from Monaco to Miami, starts up again post-pandemic, yet more collaborations will likely emerge from the water. Time will tell which will capture the attention of both the marine and motoring worlds.

ake a second to picture the Manhattan skyline, one of the world’s most iconic views. Then let your mind wander to the grandeur and prestige at The Ritz-Carlton’s five-star hotels, and finally imagine the benefit of an elevated home in the city. Well, that vision can become reality thanks to a brand-new and unique opportunity—The Ritz-Carlton Residences, New York, NoMad. One- and two-bedroom pieds-à-terre, rising 500 feet (152 m) skywards at the top of the new Ritz-Carlton hotel in the Big Apple, are a timely addition to the real estate market. Situated in the vibrant NoMad area, this limited collection of 16 residences offers five-star dwellings in a five-star location—one that is anchored by high-end hotels, cafes, restaurants, and a growing roster of impressive luxury condos that attract the world’s most elite. Designed by the award-winning architect Rafael Viñoly, the residences are elegant and ultramodern. Positioned on the top four floors of the building, and ranging in size from 911 square feet (85 sq m) to 1,848 square feet (172 sq m), there are eight magnificent two-bedroom corner residences with dual exposure, a private entrance, and an optional lock-off studio suite; and eight one-bedroom spaces all offered turnkey with customized furnishings. Complemented by white oak floors, the open-plan living area in each apartment is large enough for relaxing and working, and with approximately 10-foot-high (3 m) ceilings and expansive, oversized picture windows with up to 12-foot (3.65 m) mullionfree panes, the vistas are so impressive you could be

admiring fine art. Separated from the main living space by a breakfast bar, the kitchen showcases Poliform cabinetry with custom bronze-tinted glass, quartzite counters, Miele appliances, and Dornbracht platinum fixtures. Clean lines continue in the bath and powder rooms, with Bardiglio Nuvolato marble floors and walls, and carved terrazzo sinks. On course to be completed by the end of 2021, owners will have the ability to stay for up to 120 nights per year and have their residence expertly managed by The Ritz-Carlton when not in use. Floors 22 to 45 house a total of 250 hotel guest rooms, while floors 46 to 49 are dedicated to the residences. At the top of the building, on floor 50, there is a rooftop bar. “New York City finally has a residential offering designed for the many international and domestic buyers who’ve always called New York their home away from home,” observes Erin Boisson Aries, Global Director of Marketing and Sales for the project at Christie’s International Real Estate. “And for the New Yorkers who left in the pandemic, and the many before who migrated south to more taxfavorable jurisdictions, a luxury pied-à-terre offering like the Residences provides the perfect location to reclaim a foothold in the best city on earth.”

Should you want to enjoy a dinner at home, in-residence dining will be available—with a menu curated by Michelin-starred chef José Andrés. He and his Think Food Group will operate two of their lauded restaurants within the hotel: Zaytinya, with its Mediterranean-inspired menu, will be just off the lobby, and The Bazaar, with interior design by Lázaro Rosa-Violán, will occupy the hotel’s second floor. For cocktails and views, owners can retreat to the Rooftop Bar, where a glowing onyx bar takes center stage in one the highest establishments in Manhattan, with two terraces and breathtaking panoramas from the Empire State Building down to the Statue of Liberty. A pied-à-terre, a second home in the city, has long been a mainstay of New York business life, and here at Ritz-Carlton it has reached new heights. “Owners can

enjoy the resort lifestyle backed by a trusted hospitality brand that will take the utmost care of them and their families when they are in residence, and their properties when they are away,” says Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, developer of the hotel and residences, and president of Flag Luxury Group. Given its location, it will be of equal interest to business people and one-time city dwellers who’ve left Manhattan but still feel the pull of urban vitality. “Hotel-branded residences are a hot topic driven by the pandemic,” Olarte de Kanavos says. “After an exodus out of the city, people are returning. Owning a pied-à-terre allows for the option of maintaining a property out of New York, while still having a foothold here at The Ritz-Carlton, New York, NoMad.”

Once a steppingstone to other more desirable areas, it is now a destination in its own right. NoMad is surprisingly leafy, with the green passageways of the Flower District to the north of the rectangle and the park to the south. Redeveloped in 2001, this vibrant urban oasis is wonderful for families, and a favorite spot for New Yorkers to take ﬁve. It is a center for antique galleries and showrooms, and the famous Rizzoli Bookstore ﬂagship resides here. Art lovers are well catered for with the Planthouse gallery, while fans of wearable art will enjoy browsing the NYC outpost of Dover Street Market. Fancy some jazz? The Jazz Gallery is here for you.

Named for its location, north of Madison Square Park, and squeezed between 25th and 30th Streets and Sixth and Lexington Avenues, this small, tight-knit rectangle packs a mighty punch. Before its makeover began two decades ago, most recent memories are of a commercial district down-atheel, a few blocks linking downtown to midtown. But this location has a storied past, hooked up to the park named after president James Madison and established in 1847. It soon became home to the city’s aristocracy. Clubs were established, including the Manhattan Club—the birthplace of the Manhattan cocktail— and in the early 20th century, as music publishers and songwriters set up shop, it became home to Tin Pan Alley and later the playground of the Gilded Age.

This is the ideal time, when the market has demonstrated such a dramatic uptick, to welcome Jacqueline and co-principal Dinesh Chhatwani to our exclusive global network.” Over recent months, Johns and Chhatwani have seen the market moving at a fast pace, with demand picking up speed in the luxury sector. “This may be in part due to the government’s recent policy changes, which loosen restrictions toward cohabitation and offer an array of visa schemes for buyers,” says Johns. “Foreign potential buyers no longer need local sponsorship to establish businesses, and can now obtain a virtual working visa, as well as the investor visa, which could predict a steady inflow of international buyers.” And what are these international buyers investing in? “Primarily golf course and beachfront communities, which highlights the importance of different lifestyle destinations within the same city,” says Johns. “In addition to larger living spaces, homeowners reacted to the pandemic by searching for homes with a plethora of amenities— particularly elite sporting options and private access to the beach. There has also been a surge in branded residences purchased by Europeans, particularly beachfront penthouses.”

ICON

In 1963, long before the word emoji was coined, the State Mutual Life Assurance Company in Massachusetts, U.S.A., approached designer Harvey Ball to create a graphic to boost company morale. It took just 10 minutes for Ball to draw the smiley face—“I made a circle with a smile for a mouth on yellow paper, because it was sunshiny and bright”—for which he was paid $45. “The Smile” soon found its way out into the wider world to grace posters, signs, sew-on patches, and more. The term “Smiley” was trademarked by journalist Franklin Loufrani in 1971. More recently, it became a symbol of the acid house phenomenon of the late 1980s, and has been featured in works by Banksy, but the history of a simply drawn smiling face goes back further than any of this. The oldest example was found by a team of archaeologists led by Nicolò Marchetti of the University of Bologna, which pieced together fragments of a pot from around 1700 B.C. that had been found in Turkey. On reassembling the pot, the team noticed it had a smiling face on it, proving the design has been popular since ancient times.
