From the Publisher

Don’t you love how we get to reinvent ourselves at this time each year? I used to make New Year’s resolutions like everyone else—and then, about a week into the New Year, I realized I wasn’t on a diet, I was procrastinating on a house project and I was still returning emails late at night (which, I keep promising myself, I’m going to stop).

Now, I view January as a time to continue on the path I set and to make sure I keep trying new things. There’s so much going on in town this time of year that people from all over the world want to experience our area’s wonderful offerings, too—like the opening of polo January 4 at the International Polo Club in Wellington. If you want to have a great afternoon on a Sunday, I strongly suggest indulging in the incredible brunch and attending a match.

The FTI Winter Equestrian Festival begins January 7 with a variety of events for the entire family. Show jumping is thrilling to watch as the riders become one with their horse and fly over fence and stile. You’ll also want to shop the venue’s gallery and enjoy a nibble at the coffee bar or one of the cafes.

Speaking of nibbling, I’ve been enjoying a few new raw-food restaurants. Apura Juicery and Coffeehouse in Boca Raton has not only a great menu of sweet and savory treats but also a chic, sleek, bright white interior. The Vegan Café, which just relocated to Clematis Street, has a variety of vegan and raw dishes, including some of the best “meatballs and marinara” I’ve had. The Bee in West Palm Beach recently celebrated its first anniversary and has turned into a full-service restaurant in the past six months, adding menu items like a raw lasagna that is every bit as hearty as the traditional version.

Take this glorious time of year in South Florida to enjoy all the region has to offer.

Happy New Year!

From the Editor

I have to admit to a certain infatuation with all things equestrian. It probably has to do with my own love of horses, which started long ago during a trip to Belize. I was still adjusting to the saddle when my horse got spooked by a dog and began galloping through the jungle. An inexperienced rider at the time, I had to rely on instinct— mine and the horse’s—to bring the situation under control. Was it scary? A little. Did I get hooked? Definitely.

The unspoken bond between rider and horse is evident all winter long in the Winter Equestrian Festival show grounds, at International Polo Club Palm Beach and at many other venues in Wellington and elsewhere in our area. It is awe-inspiring to watch the absolute control of a dressage rider or the power of a hunter-jumper. And there is nothing like the edge-of-your-seat excitement you feel during a high-goal polo match.

It is equestrianism on a world-class level, and it all happens in our own backyard.

The world’s best riders, players and horses converge in Palm Beach County for winter equestrian competitions, creating both a rich spectacle and a ripple effect on our local economy. For these and other reasons, we have devoted this issue of Palm Beach Illustrated to equestrian pursuits.

Our cover story is on Jessica Springsteen, who, at only 23, is making waves in show jumping and may well be on her way to Olympic glory. Yes, she is the daughter of famous parents—Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa—but her instantly recognizable last name is only a sidebar to a career that is uniquely hers. And now Jessica also is a Gucci Equestrian Ambassador, bringing a fashionable new dimension to her riding.

See her model her favorite Gucci looks in “Riding Solo,” on page 58.

Because this month marks the beginning of polo season (which we await with wild anticipation), we have prepared an informative—and cheeky—insider’s guide to the sport. From must-sip cocktails (Chukker Punch!) to a scannable list of this year’s 10-goalers to cheat sheets for just about everything, you will find it all in “Let’s Polo!” See page 70—and we’ll see you on the field.

3Q

Kathy Bates After battling ovarian cancer in 2003 and breast cancer in 2012, Academy Award winner Kathy Bates is opening up about her experience with the diseases—and she’s chosen Palm Beach as the first place to publicly share her story. The actress, whose decades-long career includes Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe wins, will be the featured speaker at H.O.W. Hearing the Ovarian Cancer Whisper’s Time is of the Essence luncheon, taking place January 26 at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach (tickets cost $375 per person, $175 for guests 40 and younger). Bates recently played Madame Delphine LaLaurie on FX Network’s American Horror Story and is largely recognized for her roles in the movies Misery, Fried Green Tomatoes, Dolores Claiborne and Titanic. Unknown to the public at the time, she underwent chemotherapy while filming the 2004 movie Little Black Book and, following the cancelation of the TV series Harry’s Law in 2012, had a double mastectomy. Today, she is cancer free. “Cancer runs like a river in my family,” Bates says. “A lot of women on my maternal side have had breast cancer. I always knew someday I would have it—I just didn’t know when.”

(561-406-2109, howflorida.org) —Jennifer Pfaff What inspired you to talk about your cancer battles?

I saw Melissa Etheridge while I was recovering from ovarian cancer, and she was recovering from breast cancer. She gave this amazing concert with a bald head and rocked all her acts. I thought, “That’s what it’s all about.” I feel it’s silly to hide what [cancer patients are] going through. ... I want to take the stigma away from dealing with a medical condition.

What’s been your favorite acting role?

Dolores Claiborne. I got [to] play two different ages, use a dialect, change my appearance and my body.

I worked with a movement coach to learn how to move differently when I was younger and then older.

I had a wonderful director and a great cast.

025-INSIDER OPENER-0115.indd 25

2011 Warner Brothers

What helped you stay positive?

My friends and family, of course. Sometimes, though, just [reading] letters from mothers of friends of mine who’d gone through it—unexpected information or well wishes from people I didn’t know. I realized I was becoming part of a network.

Where to dine after? Read Bellissimo’s recommendation at palmbeachillustrated.com/wef2015

Insider’s Guide to WEF January 7 kicks off 12 weeks of world-class horse-riding competitions at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington with the Winter Equestrian Festival. With three months of various public events, including the Great Charity Challenge and the FEI Nations Cup (not to mention after-parties at The Gallery lounge on the property), organizing your spectating schedule can be tricky—which is why we turned to Paige Bellissimo, who founded WEF with her father, Mark, for her expert advice on what to attend, where to be and, of course, how to dress. (561-793-5867, equestriansport.com) Best place to watch the action: Beachside, a special ringside restaurant that puts you just feet away from the horses galloping and jumping.

What to wear: If you come with your family to watch, jeans and sneakers are fine. If you plan to stay and party at The Gallery afterward, then dress to impress.

Must-attend event: The Nespresso “Battle of the Sexes” on January 10, a fun exhibition where teams of 10 women go against 10 men in three phases of jumping competition, including a speed round, match race and six bar. The women have won every year, so come in 2015 to see if the men can finally take victory!

Where to grab a drink after: White Horse Fashion Cuisine. Enjoy a local craft beer!

(561-847-4549, whitehorsefashioncuisine.com) Best event for families: On Saturday nights, the Kids Fair opens at 6 p.m. It’s the best time before the competition starts at 7 p.m. to ride the authentic Venetian carousel, visit the petting zoo, go to face painting or have fun in the bounce house. There are a variety of food vendors, so get in line to get wood-fired pizza (the adults can head to Tito’s Tacos for margaritas).

Rhyme Time

Looking for a good time? Get ready to rhyme.

Starting January 19 and lasting six days, the Palm Beach Poetry Festival deserves much praise.

Workshops and readings from poets fill the air at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts at Old School Square.

Though we dare not claim to be Whitman or Poe, we hope you enjoy our Palm Beach musing below.

By Stephen Brown Adrift, a pod bobs looking for hold.

Crowns of calcite jut and small crustaceans cling, claiming the slick green stalk for their own; a domain for wanderers at sea.

Biting into salty muck, the spider trees grow and creep, spreading a canopy over tangled, twisted legs.

Dappled sunlight paints the murk, a croaking jungle of evolutionary delight, while submerged life holds its breath when roots lift from the sea, the lunar weight pulling bark bare.

The tides wash and they drown.

We watch from our place— it’s a quiet flood but a good one.

Celeb-resolutions KATHY BATES, speaking at the Time is of the Essence luncheon January 26: “To spend more time with people I love. … I have close friends who live in New York, and I live in Los Angeles. Life is going by very quickly, and we’re spending it working instead of together. My goal is to change that.”

VANESSA WILLIAMS, performing at the Kravis Center on January 4: “I don’t make resolutions; I just try to be excited about what the forecast holds ahead for me and try to consistently stay open and positive and be thankful for anything that comes my way. So, I guess gratitude—to stay grateful to be healthy and blessed.”

A Novel Idea

Touched by an

Angel

In her junior year of college, Michelle Madow wrote a story for her creative writing class about a high-school student who discovers she is the reincarnation of a nineteenth-century British girl. Inspired to keep writing about what would happen next, Madow turned the homework assignment into the first chapter of a book draft that would later become Remembrance (Dreamscape Publishing), her first of three young adult novels in a self-published series. Now in her late 20s, the Boca Raton resident is a full-time author whose second series has been published by Harlequin Teen. The Secret Diamond Sisters tells the story of three poor sisters who learn they are heirs to the wealthy owner of a Las Vegas casino. The second book in the series, Diamonds in the Rough, was released in November, while the final novel will be on stands November 2015. Madow’s advice for anyone who wants to write a book?

The actress lent her singing voice as Melody in the 1970s animated series Josie and the Pussycats before landing the hit TV show Charlie’s Angels. The character, created in the second season after Farrah Fawcett left the show, made her an overnight success, and since then Ladd has continued to star in TV movies and series.

WHO: Kevin McLaughlin, co-founder of J.McLaughlin with brother, Jay backstory: Despite neither having a fashion background, the brothers opened their first store in Manhattan’s Upper East Side 38 years ago and now operate more than 80 locations CREATING A LIFESTYLE: Each store intends to evoke a residential feel by mimicking local architecture—no two outposts are the same IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: The brand recently opened a location in Boca Raton and revamped its Vero Beach store

All-American

by Jennifer Pfaff What can we expect from J.McLaughlin’s resort collection?

This season, we really wanted to create clothes that were very elegant but also extremely effortless. Many of the pieces can go from the plane to the hotel to the poolside bistro. The look is elevated but approachable, with colors and prints you’d likely see on Gasparilla Island or on Worth Avenue.

What’s your favorite piece in the collection?

The new Lola dress [left] is a standout. I was inspired by an ikat rug I saw at an auction and thought it would be fun to combine the global vibe of an ikat print with bright resort colors and present them in a classic silhouette that flatters every figure.

How does the collection fit into the Palm Beach lifestyle?

The Palm Beach [client] is confidently stylish. She gets noticed before her outfit does. She is often on the go and needs stylish clothes that can go from brunch to sunset drinks without the slightest wrinkle. Many of our tops and dresses are crafted from our signature Catalina Cloth.

Tell us about your use of colors.

The color palette is classic resort. We use blue in all its forms like marine, turquoise, powder and navy. Bright shades like coral, lemon, emerald and rose add just enough pop. Then there is white. There is nothing fresher and more classic than a pair of white jeans.

What memories stand out to you from the past 35 years?

We opened our first store in 1977, right as prep was really hitting its stride. It was the era of the Annie Hall look, and our store was slammed. During the weekends, the shop was packed—we had to hire a doorman, and it was one in, one out. We knew we were doing something right and never looked back.

You and Jay started the business when you were both in your 20s. What advice do you have for young entrepreneurs?

Make peace with risk. Be prepared to fail. Be positive about succeeding.

Amanyara villa dwellers can enjoy conversation in a loggia (above), lounge by the pool (right), dine alfresco (below) and enjoy serene evenings poolside (bottom).

Top: A lagoon view from an Amanyara pavilion.

Above: The resort’s bar.

Amanyara In the remote northwest of the Turks and Caicos’ Providenciales Island, the illustrious Amanyara consummates the ultimate Caribbean fantasy. Gracing the crystalline waters and white sands of Malcolm’s Beach and framed by vast acreage of lush, unspoiled flora, Amanyara is a self-contained world of indulgence, excelling in the art of high-style rest and relaxation.

Dotting a secluded beach and proximate lagoons, the sole Aman Resort in the Caribbean surfaces as a series of more than three dozen Asian-inspired, glass-encased, standalone pavilions and 20 larger villas, spaced for maximum privacy. These understated masterpieces of high design embrace the splendor of the surrounding nature, enveloped by oceanic and floral serenity, a beauty enhanced by the clean-lined, wood interiors.

The exquisite, open-aired design spans beyond the pavilions themselves. A sprawling reflection pond lies at the resort’s core, surrounded by prolific alfresco common spaces, including a principal restaurant and bar and

a sleek, volcanic lava stone, infinity-edged swimming pool overlooking the ocean blues.

Lined with umbrella-capped loungers, highrising timber cabanas and fire pits, the pool is at once seductive and sumptuous, often favored over the breathtaking beach that is, in fact, one of the finest in the entire Caribbean and Atlantic. An eye-catching reflection pond also anchors the spa, with treatment rooms branching out to create a floating effect.

For those seeking more than sun-kissed pampering and relaxation, Amanyara’s surroundings foster a wealth of outdoor pursuits.

Given its proximate location to Northwest Point Marine National Park, daily complimentary snorkeling trips venture offshore from Malcolm’s Beach to patches of dazzling coral reefs. Divers can head deeper to experience the marine biodiversity of the world’s thirdlargest barrier reef through either wall or reef dives. Those interested in conservation will want to participate in Amanyara’s Turtle Initiative, one of several programs offered through the resort’s Nature Discovery Centre. As part of the initiative, you’ll catch, tag and release

endangered green turtles, collecting valuable scientific data alongside a marine biologist.

Back on land, bike and nature trails, tennis courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga and exercise classes round out the activities.

Never one to rest on the laurels of its existing excellence, Amanyara continues to enhance its portfolio each year with new additions. This year, a new clubhouse brings games and fun for children and adults alike, with a ping-pong table, shuffleboard and more. A recently unveiled Pilates studio represents the latest chapter in Amanyara’s wellness offerings. The summer 2014 debut of a Jean-Michel Gathy-designed six-bedroom villa enclave—spanning 14,450 square feet and built around its very own reflection pond—has already redefined living large in the Caribbean and quickly become the object of envy among hoteliers and sybarites.

What’s next? Another new villa stunner, this time with a private lava-stone, infinity-edged pool boasting an ocean view, opening in spring 2015. Be still, our jet-setting hearts. (amanresorts.com)

Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France St. Barths—the impossibly cool 8-squaremile sliver of Saint-Tropez in the Caribbean where luxury is a lifestyle—has reached another echelon of excellence.

Following a comprehensive three-year renovation, the island’s bastion of tropical decadence, the Hotel Saint Barth-Isle de France, was rebranded the third “maison” of

045-ESCAPE-0115.indd 47

Clockwise from above: A view of La Casa de L’Isle at sunset; a garden villa pool; a beachfront living room; a private retreat just steps from the beach; an alfresco lunch in the sand.

the exalted Cheval Blanc collection (the others are Courchevel in France and Randheli in the Maldives). Like its predecessor, the newly christened Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France marries seaside panache and glamorous French flair across the picture-perfect Flamands Bay. The renovations, however, have ushered in new greatness that includes 40 suites, bungalows and villas elegantly appointed by Bee Osborn of Osborn Interiors; a spa specializing in Guerlain treatments; an oceanview fitness center; and the ultimate in personalized service.

Accommodations are split between a beachfront enclave consisting of suites and rooms and proximate gardens strewn with bungalows that blend into the lush tropical landscaping. While the latter tend to be favored by privacy seekers, the former dole out breathtaking panoramas of blazing blue sea, sky and silky sands—the very image of Caribbean perfection. Though it’s an everlasting battle among top Caribbean resorts for the superlative “room with a view,” Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France is indeed a top—if not the top—contender.

Given St. Barth’s long-standing see-andbe-seen reputation, the resort is surprisingly relaxed and unfussy. While the legends of beautiful people and celebrity sightings are all true, the experience here of barefoot ultra luxury is a personal one. Those looking for a scene gravitate towards the hotel’s alfresco, feet-in-the-sand beachfront restaurant, La Cabane de L’Isle, where guests and non-guests palmbeachillustrated.com | january 2015

commingle over off-the-charts food, libations, people watching and fashion spotting; or they amble tirelessly up and down Flamands Beach (often with several costume changes per day).

Despite such opportunities for attention getting, the possibility of a low-key mental respite still lies within reach—poolside, beachside, en suite or in the comfort of your personal plunge pool and private beach swathe (if booking a beachfront suite).

Outside the resort, however, it’s a slightly different story. Dress to impress while shopping in the capital city of Gustavia, where the yachtlined harbor and small alleyways transform into catwalks. Expect big brand names like Cartier and Louis Vuitton as well as more original boutiques, often sister outposts to exclusive Pari-

sian designers, showcasing the latest in tropicalinspired fashion: sarongs, sundresses, bangles, linen pants and understated beachside jewelry.

You’ll also want to bring your A-game if setting sail on a privately chartered catamaran for an afternoon of Champagne drinking, swimming and snorkeling on uninhabited Colombier Bay (you’ll likely be eye candy for daytrippers trying to celeb-spot at sea). You’ll also want to look your best stepping on and off the new fleet of luxe aircraft servicing the island— Tradewind Aviation’s contemporary Pilatus PC-12s, which offer multiple flights daily to St. Barths from San Juan, St. Thomas and Antigua (tradewindaviation.com).

Because the daily agenda rarely strays from sun worshipping, liquid lunching, fine dining, shopping, posing, yachting and credit card swiping, it’s no secret that appreciating the style and sophistication of St. Barths requires deep pockets. But on an island where even celebrities people-watch, St. Barths is all about indulgence in the good life—and unapologetically so. (stbarthisledefrance.chevalblanc.com) «

Forgotten Florida

A new resort brings modern amenities, luxury comforts and a dose of chic to Old Florida by paul Rubio

Counter-clockwise from top right: the rooftop Fragmentary Blue restaurant; guestrooms highlight nature views; the property exterior; Streamsong’s Leaf Lounge.

It’s as intriguing as it is unexpected. A highdesign resort has quietly debuted in rural Central Florida, functioning as a self-contained destination for outdoor enthusiasm but boasting the excess one would covet in an ultra-luxury vacation experience.

Welcome to Streamsong Resort, a 216-suite offspring of the renowned Bill Coore- and Ben Crenshaw-designed Streamsong Red golf course and the Tom Doak-designed Streamsong Blue golf course and the anchor of a new resort experience that spans beyond the land’s awardwinning putting greens.

The former site of a phosphate-mining project tucked between citrus groves and farms, the land’s history and recent reclamation has spawned a unique topography of rolling hills, sand dunes and emerald lakes. Inspired by this colorful tract, architect Albert Alfonso took a minimalist approach to the hotel’s aesthetic, em-

ploying glass, recycled woods and neutral tones to enhance the immersion in forgotten Florida.

Catering to the modern luxury traveler and an artistic vision within, he also crafted singular recreational spaces like the AcquaPietra Spa, distinguished by a seven-pool hydrotherapy circuit; an infinity-edged pool overlooking a wildlife-rich lake; and an expansive sky roof, ideal for stargazing in this region devoid of light pollution and equipped with the rooftop Fragmentary Blue bar, one of five on-site food and beverage offerings.

Streamsong’s world of outdoor pursuits envelops the hotel—across a whopping 16,000 acres in little-known Bowling Green. The surrounding waters reveal some of Florida’s superlative bass fishing, while land-based activities focus on sporting clays, nature hikes and golfing. The 18-hole Streamsong Red course, the first completed element of the greater Streamsong project, opened in 2012 and was named the best new course by Golfweek magazine that year.

Since then, both Red and Blue continue to grace official lists as some of the world’s top public courses.

Streamsong impresses as more than a golfer’s delight.

It’s a surprisingly stylish retreat and a nearby serene escape for those wanting to shed all attachments to city life, branding a former middle-of-nowhere destination as somewhere very special. (863-428-1000, Streamsong’s infinity pool streamsongresort.com) «

It was a 1982 model, smoky silver with a black vinyl roof and funky blue and black checkerboard cloth trim. I was just 35 and thought I’d died and gone to heaven.

It didn’t matter that in downpours, water cascaded from each corner of the ill-fitting top, requiring me to drive with a towel draped over my right thigh. Nor did it matter that the roar of wind noise at speed with the roof open was second only to a Concorde on takeoff.

Yet despite its flaws, I loved it with an unbridled, undiluted passion.

After three years, we went our separate ways; early 911s weren’t the gold-standard investments they are now. But to this day, my most joyous driving memories, my greatest pride of ownership, came from that Targa-topped Porsche.

Now, there’s a new Porsche 911 Targa that,

once again, makes me weak at the knees.

Porsche designers have taken the latest 911 and gone retro by recreating the look and feel of the original Targas. That includes the silver-finished roll hoop and wraparound rear glass. Even the iconic Targa logo is replicated and mounted in its original location.

But first, a history lesson.

Back in the sixties, automakers feared convertibles might be banned for safety reasons.

Porsche, not wanting to gamble yet still needing an open-topped version of its new 911, developed an ingenious folding, liftout panel. It slotted between the windshield header and a fixed rollover hoop that protected the driver and passenger. They named it a Targa after the grueling Targa Florio road race held in the mountains of Sicily.

This latest 2015 911 Targa requires the simple pressing of a button on the center console to raise the roof. It triggers a mechanized ballet that would make Baryshnikov proud.

The wraparound glass rear window unlatches, levitates and tilts rearward. Then, the cloth center panel lifts, glides back and comes to rest behind the rear seats.

As the glass returns to its original position, closed to open takes a mere 19 seconds.

Still, the operation seems too complex. That huge rear window and its attached bodywork extend beyond the car’s rear bumper during the opening maneuver. Park a little too close to a wall, or another car, and it could all end in dents, dings and tears.

But the benefits outweigh any shortcomings.

I admit to being biased, but the Targa offers a far more enjoyable open-air driving experience than a 911 convertible or coupe with a sunroof.

How come? With the center panel stowed, drivers get the sun-on-your-face feeling of a full convertible but with the protection of a sturdy roll hoop and a rear window.

The biggest advantage over a convertible is visibility. Driving a 911 convertible with the top raised can be like driving in a Kentucky coal mine with blind spots. In contrast, the Targa’s huge rear glass and slender roll hoop provide terrific all-around vision.

Porsche offers two versions of its new Targa, both with standard all-wheel drive: the $101,600 911 Targa 4, powered by Porsche’s 350-hp 3.4-liter six-cylinder, and the $116,200 Targa 4S, powered by the 911’s 3.8-liter six-cylinder with 400 hp on tap.

As with any new 911, the driving experience is sublime. The staggering performance, poise, balance, razor-sharp responses and fabulous howl of that flat-six motor are breathtaking.

There are faster, more thrilling versions of the latest 911 in the lineup. But this one is handsdown the most perfectly suited to Floridians.

Looks like I’ll just have to own another Targa.«

Riding Jessica Springsteen MUSEs on life as a pro show jumper and her new role as A Gucci equestrian ambassador

By Mary Murray Photography by NAVID Clothing provided by Gucci, Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens

58

Solo In most spheres, it’s her last name that garners attention. The only daughter of Bruce Springsteen and his wife and band mate, Patti Scialfa, Jessica Springsteen grew up in—where else?—New Jersey, surrounded by rock ’n’ roll royalty but very much out of the public eye. It was during this time, ensconced in the lush greenery of Colts Neck, that Jessica fostered her own talents as a world-class show jumper. Now, with a slew of national and international achievements under her belt and a bright Olympic future ahead, Jessica is no longer just The Boss’s daughter—she’s Jessica, fierce professional equestrian.

“It’s funny because I’m not a competitive person,” she says. “But once I’m in the ring, it just kind of clicks. There’s so much I love about it.”

That competitive fire first caught flame at age 4. “My mom had always wanted to ride when she was younger,” she says. “When we moved to New Jersey, we moved to a farm and we got some horses and she started taking lessons. So when I saw her doing it, I immediately wanted to do it as well.”

From the start, Jessica rode at the Beacon Hill Show Stables and progressed under the guidance of trainer Stacia Madden. “I knew early on that if she wanted to stick with it that she was going to have what it took,” says Madden, who worked with Jessica throughout her junior career. “Her style is very natural. Her style is soft and very, very competitive.

I think that is the mix [that] makes horses like her. … The horses become a big believer in her, and when they’re a believer in her then she becomes a believer in them and the package just works.”

Jessica, who last month turned 23 and graduated from Duke University, grew up competing on the junior equestrian circuit, which included annual visits to Wellington, where her family owns a home. As a junior rider, she participated in hunter seat

Some of Jessica’s success can be attributed to her horses. “I really like to have a horse I can trust,“ she says. “It’s nice to go in knowing that your horse is there with you—you can trust him, he’s brave and he wants to do it as well.”

“ “

[Gucci] represents a really strong and confident woman, and those are two qualities you need as an equestrian.”

equitation, a division judged on the ability and style of the rider, in addition to show jumping. Since turning professional, she’s decided to focus solely on jumping. “It was tough because showing in Wellington, everything’s going on the same day. So it would be running from ring to ring, jumpers to hunters and equitation, kind of having to change mindsets. It’s nice now to just focus on jumping.”

And that focus has paid off. In 2012 she participated in the Olympic trials and, though she didn’t make the team, received valuable experience and plans to try out for the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro.

“I think it’s so hard moving up.

When I was a junior, especially my last couple of years, you get to know it so well, it’s easy,” she says. “It’s not easy to win ever, but you get the routine, you’re comfortable, it’s pretty easy for you. And then when you move up and start competing against, really, the best riders in the world who have been to the Olympics four or five times, it’s tough. You’re not going to win right away; you’re not going to win for a few years. You just have to keep pushing and keep working really hard and have faith in yourself.”

Jessica, who describes herself as laid back, plans to pursue riding full time now that she has completed her bachelor’s degree. She currently trains with Olympian Laura Kraut and feels as if her skills are finally on par with her aspirations. Just this past year, she saw her efforts pay off with a series of wins and accolades. “Last January is when it all started coming together and I was producing clear rounds and just being much more consistent,” she says. “I felt like [2014] was really a breakthrough year for me.”

Out of the ring, Jessica forges personal relationships with her horses. “No matter what, when you get to the barn, they’re always excited to see you.”

In April, Jessica was awarded the 2014 Maxine Beard Award by the United States Equestrian Team Foundation in recognition of her competitive record and potential. In August, she was named to the U.S. Show Jumping Team for the Dublin Horse Show, where she won the Anglesea Stakes. In September, she captured her first Grand Prix win at the prestigious American Gold Cup. As of late November, she was ranked seventh on the U.S. Equestrian Federation’s list of showjumping riders.

Another title she obtained in 2014: Gucci’s new equestrian ambassador. Jessica is in good company—Charlotte Casiraghi, the granddaughter of Grace Kelly and fifth in line to the throne of Monaco, and Australian Olympian Edwina TopsAlexander are also representatives for the brand.

“It’s been amazing,” Jessica says of her time with Gucci.

“When I first went to Europe, I remember seeing Edwina and Charlotte riding their horses around with all the Gucci saddle pads, and I really admired them so much. So to now be an equestrian ambassador is just so exciting. I couldn’t be happier.”

“Jessica is a great horsewoman, with a very exciting and positive riding style,” Frida Giannini, Gucci’s creative director, says in a statement. To celebrate the partnership, Giannini created an equestrian collection specifically for Jessica.“[She] brings the elegant, dynamic spirit of Gucci alive, and I have 62

ensured that the design of this new wardrobe provides her with pieces that manage to be both technically correct and stylish.” In addition to the classic Gucci crest, the shirts featured in the collection are personalized with her initials: JRS. Growing up in the equestrian world, Jessica’s closet wasn’t filled with sophisticated designer threads but rather casual riding garb. “When I was younger, we would just wear polo shirts and riding pants every day,” she says. After entering college, she began experimenting with fashion and looked to her mother’s style for guidance. “My mom has always been really into [fashion] and has really great style, so she’s kind of influenced me a lot as well,” she says.

For Jessica, her partnership with the brand represents a new phase in her development as a rider and as an independent young woman. “I think [Gucci] represents a really strong and confident woman, and those are two qualities you need as an equestrian as well,” she says.

As she continues to gain confidence in her riding and as an individual, one thing’s for certain: Her well-known parents will be cheering her on every step of the way.

“Both my parents come to as many shows as they can.

They’ve gotten really into it,” she says. “It’s important, I think, in any professional sport to have your family behind you and supporting you. They’ve always been huge supporters.” «

Double on the

Railroad executive Hunter Harrison and his family run a world-class equestrian program. Yet their barn is not just a business but also a private retreat.

By jennifer pfaff Photography by Jerry Rabinowitz

By jennifer pfaf For the Florida location of Double H Farm, the Harrison family tasked architect Tasos Kokoris with designing a barn that was light, functional and memorable. “I saw beautiful buildings in Wellington but none that had the flavor I was looking for,” he says. “So, I created my own.”

n Wellington, a short walk from the Winter Equestrian Festival, one barn stands out among its Mediterranean-style neighbors.

Long and gently curved, the symmetrical structure resembles a contemporary New England resort, three stories boasting gray gable dormers on a sprawling lawn. An exterior Rolex clock affixed to the second story tells the time, while the initials on the property’s gate betray the identity of the owner: HH. This is Double H Farm, an equestrian training and horse-breeding operation owned by Canadian Pacific Railway CEO Hunter Harrison and his family. A world-class program, the 20-acre facility is flush with impressive offerings like an equine treadmill and spa, 20 stalls and a Grand Prix field. But to the Harrisons, Double H isn’t only a family business but also a retreat for them to relish the lifestyle they love.

“It becomes more than just a place for the horses to live,” says Cayce Harrison, Hunter’s daughter. “It’s not just a barn to us; it’s a place we enjoy.”

The family’s interest in equestrianism started with Cayce more than

064_feat_DOUBLE H_0115-2.indd 65

two decades ago. Now 31, she first climbed upon a horse at age 8 while visiting her godfather’s farm in Memphis. He wouldn’t let her do anything other than sit on the animal, but from that experience, she decided she wanted to take riding lessons.

“My husband and I thought this would be like ballet—one month or two, and she would be done,” her mother, Jeannie, recalls. “Little did we know it would turn into this.”

Neither Hunter nor Jeannie had any experience in the sport, but as Cayce’s career flourished—she became a North American Young Rider champion, then began an amateur career and started jumping Grand Prix—her childhood hobby evolved into a family lifestyle. The Harrisons enjoyed meeting others in the industry and traveling to competitions around the world, including Wellington, which they visited for the first time 20 years ago. When Cayce started riding, “the trainer told us he went to Florida for the winter, which suited me just fine,” Jeannie laughs. “We were living in Chicago at the time.” palmbeachillustrated.com | January 2015

12/4/14 3:46 PM

The 20-acre property is dotted with several buildings, including a small structure to house grooms, but the main barn (below) is the centerpiece.

66

Eventually, the Harrisons embraced the sport as a serious business endeavor. In 2005, they bought and transformed a circa-1765 property in Connecticut previously owned by Sam Edelman of Sam Edelman Shoes. Today, Double H’s 87-acre Ridgefield facility boasts 42 stalls, 15 paddocks and a Grand Prix field.

The grounds later served as the site for Cayce’s 2011 wedding to Quentin Judge, one of the top 80 riders in the world. Now, the two are partners in life and in business: Cayce, who stopped riding competitively after a bad fall, runs the managerial side of Double H Farm, while Judge is the barn’s professional rider. “We’re working toward the same goal but doing different parts of the job,” Judge says. “I can concentrate on horses and fitness, and Cayce focuses more on the nitty-gritty details.”

The Wellington facility came about roughly five years ago, when the Harrisons determined they had outgrown their five-acre farm on Appaloosa Trail. In their hunt for a bigger property, they found quite a gem: a Ushaped, open-stall polo barn within walking distance to WEF. “It was very minimal but workable,” Cayce says. “It was a great location. We loved having so much more space—20 acres as opposed to five was a huge change.”

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

064_feat_DOUBLE H_0115-2.indd 66

12/4/14 3:46 PM

At the family’s former farm, “you felt like you were there to complete a task, and when you were done you wanted to get home,” Cayce says. But Double H is different. “We love being here.”

But, as they discovered that winter, the openness of the structure didn’t protect the horses from chilly weather. So, they put in a call to architect Tasos Kokoris, who had designed Double H’s Ridgefield facility as well as Hunter and Jeannie’s Connecticut home. “They spoke to me about the barn being light, both in terms of space and color,” Kokoris says. “We spoke about it being as functional as possible. And they spoke about needing it to have certain unique features and memorable qualities that would distinguish it from every other barn in town.”

The result is a beautiful stucco structure with lightly stained cypress ceilings, dormer windows that reflect New England architecture and cool taupe and gray coloring. Kokoris calls the design, his first project in the state, “a modified Florida with a northern edge.”

Kokoris enlarged the original barn’s U-shaped footprint to allow for unimpeded air circulation but added windows and doors for protection from the elements. Each stall has a high, open ceiling that filters in soft natural light. The waterproof floor, a couple of inches thick, is made of recycled tires and is softer than that of a typical stall. “We find the horses lying down a lot,” Cayce says.

12/4/14 4:30 PM

Etched on the floor of the barn, just like in the Connecticut facility, is Double H’s iconic logo (right), made of local stone.

The barn also includes storage and equipment rooms, an office, a tack room and, on each end, a pavilion—one houses the treadmill, the other a veterinarian station.

During a typical 15-hour workday, Cayce handles affairs from the office while Judge trains. Riders who use the facility, such as Olympic champion McLain Ward, can take advantage of the property’s luxuries, including natural jumps and premium equipment: Double H has an eight-horse Kraft Horse Walker and a Horse Gym USA treadmill, both used to exercise a horse without a rider, as well as a CET Equine Spa, which uses saltwater whirlpool jets to prevent injuries. “Obviously, this is a sport of injuries, and we try to keep the horses healthy, fit and happy,” Judge says.

But just as equestrianism is more than a business to the Harrisons, Kokoris designed Double H Farm to be a place of not only work but also bliss.

Above the barn, he constructed a gym, a small wet bar and a trophy room.

On display in this space, illuminated from a skylight, are trophies Double H riders have won from competitions all over the world, from Cayce’s early riding days in Chicago to Grand Prixes in Antwerp and Brussels, Belgium and Rome. Sentimental memorabilia and photos are displayed around the room, and above the trophies are horse coolers from past events.

While Cayce offered input in making Double H a proper working farm, “the decorations,” Jeannie says, “were my cup of tea.”

She enlisted the help of Grace Megal, a Memphis-based designer 68

12/4/14 4:31 PM

Quentin Judge says Double H strikes a balance between aesthetics and functionality. “We found the right mix here,” he says. “People love it, and the horses seem very happy. It’s the best of both worlds.”

and family friend who had furnished the Ridgefield barn and other Harrison homes. “We just like her taste,” Jeannie says. “It’s not really traditional or contemporary; ‘transitional’ is what we call it.”

A prime example of Megal’s aesthetic is captured in a Wolf Kahn painting hanging in the trophy room. Megal had introduced Kahn’s artwork to the Harrisons, who took an interest in his style and purchased several pieces for their Connecticut home. In Wellington, the family wanted artistic references to a barn but not typical equestrian artwork with plaid prints and traditional elements. Kahn’s bright painting of a barn, which Megal found at a gallery in Memphis, was perfect.

“When we got ready to put a piece of art down here in Florida, the dealer brought in several pieces, and we tried all Wolf Kahn pieces,” Jeannie says. “I love the bright colors.”

Above the trophy room is a treasured space requested by Hunter: an upper room with four walls of windows that provide a breathtaking view for miles. The elevated room also has a balcony and overlooks the entire property. “It’s a really great place to spend the late afternoon, early evening,” Cayce says. “Mom will bring cheese and wine over with

064_feat_DOUBLE H_0115-2.indd 69

people, and Dad will come when the barn is closing down and read a book or do a crossword puzzle. It’s a quiet, nice place to be.”

With these unique lifestyle spaces, Double H is also a venue for the Harrisons to host private functions, such as their recent Christmas dinner. Hunter regularly welcomes clients on the property, and the family doesn’t hesitate to open the gate for charity functions, including a recent fundraiser for the United States Hunter Jumper Association. “It’s a luxury we have these properties that are attractive and bigger, but we try to use them for more than just a place for the horses to live,” Cayce says.

At the end of each day, as the Harrisons watch the sun set over Wellington, Double H farm serves its dual purpose of functional barn and oasis for both horse and rider to decompress.

“The design of the barn ties into the philosophy, which is to do everything in a first-class way but be a usable space that can serve all purposes we need and be very enjoyable,” Judge says. “In show jumping, you often have more bad days than good days. It’s really nice to come back home to a beautiful place where the horse can be happy and find a retreat.” « palmbeachillustrated.com | January 2015

POLO! As polo season kicks into high gear, we present this curated insider’s guide to the Sport of Kings

hen we encounter a new social situation, there is the temptation to boldly dive in. While fearless in theory, the results can range from less than stellar to epic fail. Society may not always reveal its final scores, but it clearly deducts points for a disruptive splash.

True social chameleons understand seamless adaptation to situations is dependent on knowledge of the subject. When this is inherently lacking, preemptive studying generates higher marks.

With this in mind, we offer the quintessential polo primer—a cram session of all things polo so you can execute a flawless entry into the Sport of Kings.

THE RULES A polo match consists of six periods of play known as chukkers, each lasting seven minutes. The teams switch goals with every point scored to account for variances in the wind and field conditions and ensure neither team has an advantage.

Quick cheat: A bell rings to indicate 30 seconds left in the chukker and a horn sounds to end the chukker.

The play is quick-paced, with no time-outs, except for injuries, penalties or unsafe situations. The clock keeps running when a player leaves the field in the middle of a chukker to change to a fresh horse or replace a broken or lost mallet. There is a three-minute break between chukkers and a 15-minute halftime.

Two teams of four on horseback attempt to move the ball downfield and through the goalposts at the ends of a field measuring 300 by 160 yards (slightly larger than nine football fields). Two mounted umpires and a referee stationed at midfield control the game.

070_polo primer_0115-3.indd 71

Quick cheat: Rather than fixed plays, such as in football, polo mostly consists of action and reaction. The key to winning lies in a team’s ability to better anticipate and place its members in strategic positions.

palmbeachillustrated.com | JANUARY 2015

71

12/1/14 2:48 PM

The Players The four players on each team are assigned positions.

Quick cheat: Each player’s position is designated by the numbers 1 to 4 on their team jerseys. The most experienced and highest-rated players are often placed at positions 2 and 3.

Position Number 1 is the attacking offensive player, an accurate hitter who concentrates on opportunities for scoring and defending the opposing No. 3 player.

Quick cheat: The No. 1 player is similar to a forward in hockey or soccer.

Position Number 2 is primarily an offensive player who follows the No. 1 on attack but also has defensive responsibilities, interchanging with the No. 3 player.

Position Number 3 attacks the opposing offense and turns the ball upfield, typically with a pass to the No. 2 or No. 1 player. These players must be able to hit long distances with accuracy and be good at stick and ball control.

Quick cheat: A No. 3 player is similar to the quarterback in football, usually the highest-rated player on the team and the de facto captain.

A GLOSSARY

Position Number 4 defends the team’s goal and is capable of turning the play from defense to offense with a good back shot.

Quick cheat: A No. 4 player is similar to a back in football and the most valuable player on defense for defending the team’s goal.

Appealing: When a player raises his mallet over his head to influence the umpire into calling a foul.

Back shot: A backhand swing that changes the flow of play by sending the ball in the opposite direction.

Check and turn: To slow the pony and turn safely.

Stick and ball: Personal practice time.

The Takeaway: While every player is assigned a position, each role is flexible, and athletes must be prepared to make whatever play is necessary to benefit the team, even if it means changing positions.

Throw-in: When the umpire throws in the ball at the opening of each chukker and after each goal to begin play.

“A polo pony has got to have the speed of a race horse; the tough, quick response of a cow pony; and the agility of a show jumper. Then he’s got to have more stamina than any of them.”

—Cecil Smith, American 10-goaler (1904-2000)

THE PONIES Originally, no horse higher than 13 hands and two inches was allowed to play in the game.

(The official definition of a pony is a horse that is fewer than 14.2 hands from hoof to shoulder blade.) Today, there is no height limitation, but the smaller animals are typically faster and more agile.

72

Quick cheat: The mounts used in polo are always called polo ponies, even though they are typically full-sized horses.

A player’s horse is always changed at the end of each chukker to avoid fatigue and injury to the pony.

Therefore, a player will have a “string” of ponies—two or three in low-goal matches, four or more in mediumgoal matches and closer to a dozen for competition play in which the ponies may be switched as often as every few minutes to keep momentum going.

070_polo primer_0115-3.indd 72

12/1/14 2:48 PM

THE TEAMS All players are rated on a scale of -2 to 10 goals, determined by their strokes, speed of play, team and game sense. The term “goal” does not refer to how many goals a player will or has scored.

Quick cheat: Unlike golf, the higher the handicap, the better the player. lila photo

Team play is handicapped on the basis of ability. The team with the lower overall handicap (total of its players’ goal ratings) is awarded the difference in goals at the start of the match.

he Wears

Quick cheat: Blue jeans are totally acceptable, while a formal suit with a tie is a bit too much.

The Dress

lila photo

A safe bet to fit in: Blue jeans and a jacket or a suit with an open shirt. Adjust your level of casual depending on whether you are tailgating or in a box.

A fashion-forward choice to stand out: A bright color worn tastefully, such as a pocket square.

A polo-watching essential: A jacket. It’s good for the windy days but can be taken off when it’s hot or to lend to a lady if the weather becomes brisk.

Much like a Hollywood awards ceremony, polo fashion vies with the actual event for top billing. Without appropriate dress, successfully integrating into the polo scene is unlikely. Have your highlighters ready as several confidential polo insiders share the scoop on the unwritten dress code.

Stomping the Divots: At halftime (between the third and fourth chukkers), spectators are welcomed on the field for divot stomping—when participants push small patches of grass and dirt that are torn up during polo play back into the ground. In addition to helping keep the ponies and players safe, divot stomping is an opportunity for spectators to stretch their legs and socialize. The menial labor is typically rewarded with gratis Champagne and, at the International Polo Club in Wellington, ice cream bars.

Quick cheat: While you may be tempted, do NOT mention you learned about this tradition from Pretty Woman.

Coin Toss: The coin toss takes place before the game to determine goal direction. At the seasonopener games, a notable individual or celebrity often performs the toss. (The International Polo Club has had Bo Derek and Tommy Tune in recent years.)

Odds and Ends • The ponies’ manes are roached (shaved down to the neck) and tails plaited so the polo mallets don’t get tangled in them.

• Brooks Brothers developed the button-down collar specifically for polo players to keep collar tabs from flapping in their faces.

• Left-handed players are required to play right-handed because of safety reasons.

• The first recorded game of polo was played between the Turkomans and the Persians in 600 BC. The Turkomans won.

Quick cheat: Always opt for a wedge shoe or flats.

Heels will have you sinking in the grass.

A safe bet to fit in: A colorful, fitted shift dress like Lilly Pulitzer, a chic Sail to Sable tunic, a Diane Von Furstenberg or J.McLaughlin wrap dress, a maxi or a long, flowy dress. For 3 p.m. games, you may want to arm yourself with a wrap.

A fashion-forward choice to stand out: A statement piece such as a beautiful necklace, shoes or bag.

Rules when it comes to polo fashion: Anything goes. You see everything from white jeans and tall boots to bright-colored, long dresses with beautiful wedges.

A polo-watching essential: A chic pair of sunnies.

Hats at polo: cool or clichéd?

Hats are definitely still a part of fieldside fashion. Floppy, widebrim hats are always classic.

Recommended color palette: Bright and cheery.

Entrepreneur

The Consummate

A former life apprentice of Ernest Hemingway, Fiji Water founder David Gilmour spent his formative years traveling through Europe, using the world as his classroom. This schooling would inspire his passion for startups—and for making stronger communities.

BY SCOTT EYMAN Photography by MICHAEL PRICE

86

By the time David Gilmour was 16 years old, his father had reached the conclusion that his son was a useless twit. Harrison Gilmour was a merchant banker in Toronto and tried to nudge his son in the same direction, but the boy couldn’t have cared less. David was a self-described “hopeless student”; he couldn’t concentrate and didn’t particularly want to.

But Harrison let David travel during school breaks, which sparked something in him that school didn’t. They made a deal: The boy could drop out of school and travel; the father would give the son a stipend of $10 a day so long as he was unaccompanied by friends. He could travel until he was 24.

David leaped at the deal, as well he should have. For the next seven years, from 1948 to 1954, young David roamed everywhere, observing life in every part of the world but especially in a Europe ravaged by World War II. He met dozens of extraordinary people, few of them famous, although Ernest Hemingway was a notable exception. His education became the knowledge of people that he gathered and the compulsive reading he indulged in while on tramp steamers or waiting in train stations.

“I learned what people are really like,” David says. “I learned to touch only what I totally believe in 100 percent. And I learned how to take care of myself. If you travel alone, you have to be careful. Europe? It was a tragedy.”

David is 83 now, an entrepreneur par excellence, still in full flight, the antithesis of a useless twit. He brought Fiji Water to an appreciative world, is about to build a preschool in West Palm Beach and has a company called Zinio that’s a digital publishing platform for magazines. Above them all is his great passion: his private island, Wakaya.

It was travel that gave David the idea for his first start-up, when he visited his sister in Denmark. He realized young people didn’t want to buy ornate Czech crystal. Rather, they wanted new colors and shapes that were functional and coordinated in glass, linen, pottery and dishes. That was the birth of Dansk Design, a success followed by another: the real estate firm TrizecHahn. And so his initial ambition—to become a novelist—was filed away.

Oh, yes. Hemingway. David was in Spain watching bullfights, i.e. gathering material.

“Every wandering soul with an education wants to be a writer,” he says. He was taking notes in a tapas bar in Madrid when a large man with a white beard called him over. “You like bullfighting?” Hemingway asked, and that sent them off on a bout of convivial drinking, which culminated in Hemingway asking David if he wanted to tag along with his group. Follow Hemingway and the bulls for a season? The only possible answer was yes.

He spent weeks with Hemingway’s entourage. David paid for his own hotel and transportation; Hemingway paid for the food. “He was tough, he was rough, he drank too much and smoked too much,” David recalls of the author.

“He was very macho. I was in total awe. He had me convinced I was going to be a writer.”

But fate had other plans. As per their agreement, David stopped traveling when he was 24, only to have his father die the following year. On the theory that David’s years of wandering on $70 a week had used up his inheritance, Harrison left his son precisely nothing.

And that was okay with David. “I had $2,300 to my name, which is what we used for the first start-up,” he says. On balance, he thinks things worked out for the best. “If I’d have inherited a lot of money, it would have been a toss-up as to whether my liver would have given out or I would have been killed by a polo ball,” he says.

When David found the island of Wakaya 45 years ago, it was uninhabited but not for long. “It’s my Noah’s Ark,” he says. “My passion, my home, my retreat, the source of my

inspiration. Ideas come to me when I’m sitting on the island; it’s given me every good idea I’ve had in business.”

He stumbled on it by accident on his travels.

In that era, planes had to make a refueling stop in Fiji before proceeding to Australia. During the stop, David simply didn’t get back on the plane and disappeared for a week, exploring the Fiji islands and their people. “Many third-world countries resent colonials, but Fiji has never been conquered; the population is still giving and generous,” he says. “Of course, they have suffered under democracy; America loves to shove democracy down people’s throats.”

“

What I’ve learned in life is that you can’t save the world, but you can save a segment of it.

And that is meaningful.

After he bought Wakaya, he had to build an infrastructure to support the modest conversion he had in mind—a village, schools (seven of them), churches, an airstrip, a port, a marina, all in support of the Wakaya Club and Spa, a small but luxurious private resort where guests come to stare at the rolling breakers landing on the beach and enjoy their magnificent isolation.

That walkabout eventually led to Fiji Water, which flourished as soon as it hit the market in 1996. At the time, there were about 620 brands of bottled water being sold in America alone, which didn’t bother David. “It truly was a better water than anything else,” he says.

In spite of the ongoing success of Fiji Water, David sold the company in 2004 for a reported $50 million, largely because of his limited attention span. “Once a company gets too big and impersonal, I lose interest,” he says. “Fiji Water had become a commodity.”

In a roundabout way, it was Fiji Water that brought David to Palm Beach 25 years ago.

88

He’d been living in Paris when he started the company, but to launch it effectively he needed to be in America. As the native Canadian soon discovered, he could no longer deal with Canadian—or New York—winters. He came to the entirely correct conclusion that the best place to spend winters in America is Palm Beach.

His residence, built in 1926, houses his impressive collection of Winston Churchilliana, including a portrait of the great man that once hung in 10 Downing Street. There is also a bound collection of Churchill’s collected works, not to mention a first edition of T.E. Lawrence’s Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

There is a serene ambience about David, a sense of a man who’s had a well-lived life and knows it. He grows more animated than usual when asked if he’s ever had a flop amongst his 12 start-ups. “Yes!” he exclaims. “[Canadian businessman] Peter Munk and I started a stereo company called Clairtone that was a huge success in Canada. But then we made the mistake—we took a government loan to move the factory to a depressed area full of fishermen and coal miners. There were union fights, we made inventory mistakes and workers we trained would leave for Montreal or Toronto, where the wages were higher.

“But the real problem was that government thinks short term, and companies have to think medium and long term. Our mistake was in ceding control in return for the loan.” After losing control of Clairtone, Gilmour started the Southern Pacific Hotel Corp., which eventually grew to include 56 hotels.

His latest venture is two years old and involves a move into the $30 billion supplement business: bottled ginger, turmeric and salt from Wakaya, all sold on HSN, in Harrods and on the Wakaya website under the umbrella name of Wakaya Perfection. It is, David says, “the most important thing I’ve ever done.” Between the Wakaya resort and the supplements, he employs about 100 people on the island and a small marketing staff in Palm Beach.

His basic motivation for the supplements revolves around his idea that the greatest luxury is not time but good health. “Time is useless unless you have the health to enjoy it,” he muses.

“And if health is the greatest luxury, I happen to have an island where the surface has been com-

posting for millions of years, where the soil is organically pure, a place where the self-inflicted disasters of modern culture—obesity, diabetes, hypertension—don’t exist. Kava, if you analyze it, does what Prozac and Xanax do, but it does it without chemicals. It’s not habit forming and it’s organic—just like Wakaya Perfection.”

Gilmour’s interest in constructing preschools is his tribute to his late daughter, who was devoted to the interests of children. He has built nine so far, in Fiji of course, but also in Las Vegas and San Diego. “Since I live here, it’s time to build one here as well,” he says. “A preschool should not be a parking lot for kids, which is what a lot of them are. It’s advanced education at an early age. West Palm Beach needs it, and I hope it becomes a template for things to come.”

In this, as in so much else, Gilmour’s right arm is Jill, his wife of 34 years. “From the getgo, she has contributed in every area,” he says.

“A beautiful home is an inspiration, and she has made many of them for us. She’s taken on dozens of designing and decorating projects, where her impact has been particularly invaluable. I could never have done it by myself.”

Wakaya Group and Trust CEO David Roth has known the businessman for years. He ascribes his friend’s remarkable roster of successes to the fact that, “simply put, David is able to forecast consumer trends and desires better than anyone I have ever known. He spots/ feels/has a gut-level hunch about what the future will bring and then creates businesses that take advantage of that future before anyone else is even out of the gate.

“Very little has changed about David. He still gets up every morning ready to create the future and goes about doing it until late in the day. He is an unstoppable force.”

Obviously, this octogenarian has never considered retirement. “My father, who was a healthy guy, died six months after retiring,” he says. But he does consider his legacy.

“When I’m not here anymore, I desire that my estate will continue building preschools in perpetuity. Effective preschools mean a great deal; they can preempt gangs, they can preempt drugs.

“What I’ve learned in my life is that you can’t save the world, but you can save a segment of it. And that is meaningful.” «

Having full control of the kitchen is every chef’s fantasy.

Now, it’s a dream come true for Julien Gremaud, who opened his first restaurant, Avocado Grill, in downtown West Palm Beach in the fall. Branding the eatery after one of his favorite types of produce, the former chef at Pistache French Bistro in West Palm Beach and PB Catch in Palm Beach has crafted a menu of flavorful Florida-Caribbean bites that reflect the resto’s farm-fresh name, including pork-belly buns, tuna tartare, island-inspired sushi and, of course, grilled avocados. The Datura Street space, previously occupied by Barrel and Grain (and, before that, Gratify), is open for dinner and Sunday brunch—just look for the avocado-green exterior.

Beach Bars We

It’s the essence of the Florida experience: Put on shorts and flip-flops and sip a cocktail while gazing at the surf. The beach bar may seem like a vanishing breed in South Florida, but there are still some opportunities to stick your toes in the sand and set your watch to island time. —Mark Spivak Boston’s on the Beach, Delray Beach: This classic hangout

Atlantic Bar and Grill, Palm Beach:

A beach bar at the Four Seasons?

Absolutely! Perched on the edge of the sand, this tropical outpost has comfortable wooden furniture and upscale cuisine (think seared ahi tuna and nasi goreng, rather than smoked fish dip and fried calamari), along with a surprisingly affordable happy hour. (561-582-2800, fourseasons.com/palmbeach) 92

is really three locations in one. Relax in the original Boston’s, featuring 30 TVs, live music and cold beer; indulge in the casual Sand Bar at the south side of the building; or ascend the stairs to 50 Ocean, the sleek and stunning restaurant under the direction of Chef Blake Malatesta, complete with an outdoor deck for cocktails and dining. (561278-3364, bostonsonthe beach.com)

Benny’s on the Beach, Lake Worth:

Located at the base of the Lake Worth Pier, Benny’s outdoor seating offers a spectacular view of the surf—your legs may not be long enough to stick your toes in the sand, but you’ll definitely bask in the salt breeze. New Chef Jeremy Hanlon is expanding the reach of the menu, but you can still indulge in standards such as lobster benedict and conch fritters. (561-5829001, bennysonthebeach.com)

2 to try Sandwiched between Tryst and 32 East is Smoke BBQ, the new Kansas Citystyle barbecue joint on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. Partner Scott Kennedy enlisted Executive Chef Bryan Tyrell, a renowned pitmaster who made his bones at Oklahoma Joe’s in Kansas City. Tyrell’s meats go in the oven at 5 p.m. and stay there for nearly 24 hours. Among the results are ribs, brisket, smoked turkey, chicken, pulled pork and, on Wednesdays, the Kansas City specialty burnt ends: crisp, delectable morsels from the top of the brisket. (561-3304236, eatbbqnow.com) —M.S. A new gastropub to hit West Palm’s Clematis Street is The Alchemist, a speakeasy concept focused on creative cocktails and upscale comfort food. The worldly cuisine is served mostly as sharable bites, like deviled eggs with bacon and caviar, prosciutto-wrapped figs with Roquefort, lobster poppers and varieties of tacos and burgers. Like the menu, the decor is a mix of vintage and modern, setting the stage for a brunch, lunch or dinner that is inventive yet unpretentious. (561355-0691, thealchemist gastropub.com) —J.P.

Flavors of the Mediterranean

Don’t look now, but tzatziki has come to West Delray—along with pastitsio, tabbouleh, kefalotyri cheese and baklava.

All these Mediterranean flavors converge under one roof with the opening of Apeiro Kitchen and Bar, a partnership between veteran South Florida restaurateur Burt Rapoport and Chef David Blonsky. The cuisines of Morocco, Italy, Greece and Portugal are highlighted by a wood-burning oven, a 40-foot illuminated bar and a vibrant late-night scene.

Blonsky’s menu opens with an array of small plates, crudo, cheeses and flatbreads. Designed for sharing, choices range from beef carpaccio and margherita pizza to octopus with cranberry beans,

red chili, olives and aged balsamic. Starters are followed by a selection of grains and pasta, grilled/roasted proteins and meatballs/ kabobs—everything from roasted chicken and swordfish kabobs to branzino and spiced lamb. Desserts, described by the house as “irresistible in their simplicity,” include a sweet potato bombolini, served with roasted white chocolate, brandy caramel and raspberry sauces.

Apeiro means “infinity” in Latin, but Blonsky’s goal is to give the restaurant a contemporary vibe. “The Mediterranean is such Apeiro Executive Chef fertile territory, offering up amazing flavors and ingredients,” he David Blonsky says. “I definitely wanted to take this cuisine a step further and give it a modern spin.” (561-826-1791, apeirorestaurants.com) —M.S.

Some Like It Hot

“The classics are classics for a reason,” declares Ezra Pattek, consulting mixologist for the new Meat Market in Palm Beach. His mission is twofold: to breathe new life into traditional cocktails with the addition of high-quality ingredients and to create original libations that complement the menu of this innovative steak house.

“Our beverage program has to work with our food,” he says, “so we need an understanding of what the chef is creating and what our guests want.” Although his cocktail menu is divided into three parts (aperitifs and sparkling, classics and stirred, and house creations), Pattek believes any of the drinks may be consumed before, during or after dinner. Staffers are required to pass the BarSmarts online educational course, and Pattek backs it up with an ongoing training program. (561-354-9800, meatmarket.net) —M.S.

Highlights from the Meat Market drink menu include: • The Smoky Negroni: Pierde Almas mezcal, Aperol and Dolin sweet vermouth.

• Tangerine Dream: Nolet’s gin, kiwi, orange and Prosecco.

• Some Like It Hot: Ocho Reposado, raspberries, lime and habanero agave nectar, in which guests may choose their desired level of heat.

Modern Italian A “scandalous” move by Piero Antinori, honored vintner of the upcoming Naples Winter Wine Festival, established a new age of great vino

By Mark SPivak

Cabernet would improve Chianti Classico.

Piero replanted the vines, which had become extinct after World War II, and decided to test his father’s theory. His action launched the Super Tuscan revolution and eventually established Italian wines as some of the most sought-after in the world.

Gerald Bruneau

The first formal hierarchy of Italian wine laws was implemented in 1963, but it was in 1971 when the modern era in Italian wine truly began. That was the year Piero Antinori shocked the establishment by blending Cabernet Sauvignon into Tignanello, his flagship bottling of Chianti Classico.

It was considered scandalous. Not only did the wine contain foreign grape varieties, but Antinori also omitted the mandatory white grapes. Antinori’s actions meant he not only had to forgo the DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata, or Controlled Designation of Origin) for Tignanello but also was compelled to label the wine as vino da tavola, or table wine—the lowest rung in the newly established classification.

“When I took charge of my family’s business in 1966,” he recalls, “the wines of Tuscany were going down in terms of quality, reputation and price. I had to do something to reverse the negative trend we were in.”

Antinori remembered his father, Niccolò, had grown several acres of Cabernet Sauvignon in Tignanello, the family’s prized vineyard site. Niccolò loved the wines of Bordeaux and believed a small amount of 100 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Tenuta Tignanello vineyard (below) produces Antinori’s most famous wine (left).

Now 76, Antinori is this year’s honored vintner at the Naples Winter Wine Festival, held January 23-26 in the Southwest Florida city. He is the leader of the global wine company that bears his name, an enterprise spanning 629 years and 26 generations. His empire includes a half-dozen of the most famous Tuscan estates, such as Guado al Tasso, Solaia and Cervaro della Sala. In addition, his company has formed partnerships with wineries in locations as farflung as California, Washington and Chile.

He credits California as having a powerful impact on his winemaking career. Antinori traveled a great deal after taking the helm of his family business, seeking to discover what other successful wine regions around the world were doing. His friendship with the late Robert Mondavi inspired him to experiment and seek new boundaries.

“Mondavi had a pioneering spirit that influenced me quite a bit,” he says. “He encouraged me to look outside of tradition, to find different ways to improve the quality of our wine. I

always came back from California filled with enthusiasm and the desire to do new things.”

This is Antinori’s fifth trip to the festival.

While the wines selected for his vintner dinner will be heavily dependent on both the menu and the chef’s style, Antinori tends to showcase the top end of his production and admits to a special fondness for Tignanello—even though “wines are like children, and there shouldn’t be a preference for one over the other.”

Festival guests fortunate enough to attend his dinner will find a man who is self-effacing and friendly. He may be a marchese, but he is just as approachable as any winemaker from California. In particular, he is delighted to be selected as this year’s honored vintner.

“I’m pleased and very honored to be selected,” he says, “particularly since this is the first time an Italian winemaker has been chosen for this award. The event is great fun and I have many friends there, but it also raises a great deal of money for a great cause.” (239514-2239, napleswinefestival.com) «

HIP HAVEN

The design team at Marc-Michaels Interior Design, composed of Jeff Strasser, Kathryn Dunagan, Shannon Coyman, Samantha Lipman and Rachel Jones, put play first in this Gulfstream clubroom. The bar, which is topped with snow quartz, features a dual design and links the library and the oceanfront game room via a custom floating iron rack.

The chiseled quartz fireplace, one of many focal points of the room, erupts from a mĂŠlange of wood elements, including bleached walnut wood floors, natural walnut paneling and an artistic piece of reclaimed Florida Cypress.

Look on the Bright Side West Palm Beach designer Gil Walsh transformed this Vero Beach living room into a stunning jewel box of design using a Stroheim plaid silk taffeta, dark millwork and bold, fearless colors found in a deep amethyst sofa, an emerald green chair and zebra-print accent pillows. “Most designers can only dream about a client willing to embrace color and pattern,” she says. “This client gifted us with that extraordinary pleasure, along with a sense of joie de vivre that is evident in every square inch of the home, let alone this room.” Gil Walsh Interiors, West Palm Beach (561-932-0631, gilwalsh.com)

Fierce and Frozen

the year’s coolest theme makes for an haute children’s party By Mary Murray

Chris Joriann Photography

The theme

For her daughter’s eighth birthday, professional photographer Joriann Maye Keegan of Chris Joriann Photography teamed up with local vendors to create a high-end bash inspired by the popular Disney movie Frozen. When choosing a theme for a children’s party, Keegan suggests first asking: “Are there enough creative details to thread the theme through all aspects of the party: decor, invitations, favors, cute foods and, of course, activities and games?” (561-776-0099, chrisjoriann.com)

The Activities

Structure at a children’s party is key. Keegan filled the party with activities such as a portrait station and a nail and hair station, where guests received a blue manicure and a fauxsnow hair treatment, as well as games like Pin the Nose on Olaf and Queen Elsa’s Snowball Toss.

Simultaneously, the movie played on a giant screen and silver balloons populated a dance floor where the princesses in training could play.

The food Keegan worked the theme into the menu, serving Olaf’s noses and buttons (carrots and black olives), Sven’s antlers (pretzels) and Anna’s lobster mac and cheese. Dessert included a snowy cake and an expansive dessert table featuring silver-and-blue delicacies like cake pops, cupcakes and Jell-O cups.

THE FAVORs To make sure guests felt as special as the birthday girl, Keegan gifted each with a snowflake necklace, a custom-made snowflake wand and white rhinestone take-home dessert boxes.

Easy Raw

Fermented Foods

Let Knowledge Grow Something’s sprouting at Discovery Dayschool. In October, the West Palm Beach preschool unveiled an organic teaching garden composed of four 5-foot-by-10foot enclosures packed with fruits, vegetables and herbs.

The project was a joint endeavor by Palm Beach interior designer and architect Campion Platt and Keith Williams of Nievera Williams Landscape Architecture. Platt, who lost weight in recent years with a more organic, plant-based diet, was inspired to build the garden after creating a similar one at his family’s Hamptons home. “My son ate greens happily for the first time in his life,” Platt says.

Platt selected the vegetation, while Williams worked on the design with help from Tropical Irrigation and Yohe’s Lawn Care and Landscaping. The students will tend to the garden, which includes such delights as strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, sage and basil. Ultimately, Platt hopes the garden teaches the students the value of gardening and where food comes from and also reinforces healthy eating habits.

“It was a little bit of my time and everybody else’s time and a little bit of elbow grease and voilà—you have a garden that will teach these kids a lifetime of knowledge of food,” Platt says.

“It’s something I wish I had as a kid.” (561-585-1119, discoverydayschool.net)

(App for thAT!)

The practice of fermentation has been used to prepare and store food for thousands of years. Popular daily staples, including bread, coffee, beer and wine, undergo fermentation, and the practice is celebrated for its ability to imbue foods with probiotic qualities. Within a raw diet, fermentation can be a healthy and flavorful preparation method that can be applied to a variety of vegetables. Store-bought fermented food is often loaded with salt and also may have undergone pasteurization, so home preparations are recommended. One of the most common fermented raw foods is sauerkraut, which can easily be made at home by chopping cabbage, sprinkling it with salt, squeezing out the juices and then submerging the cabbage in its juices inside a jar for roughly three to five days. Kombucha, a fermented drink made from tea, sugar, bacteria and yeast, can also be made at home—though it requires more skill than sauerkraut. To learn more about fermented foods, peruse The Art of Fermentation: An In-Depth Exploration of Essential Concepts and Processes from Around the World (Chelsea Green Publishing, $39.95) by Sandor Katz. Katz’s book is packed with useful information for the raw-food devotee and fermentation fan. (wildfermentation.com)

Balance Meditation 101 Walking on

Sunshine On January 17, Sunshine State Races will host its fourth-annual halfmarathon and 5K in downtown West Palm Beach. The races, which start and finish on Evernia Street, will take place along the water on North and South Flagler Drive. While the 5K is open to all ages, runners must be at least 16 years old to participate in the half-marathon.

The ancient practice of meditation can lead to a more peaceful 2015. PBI discussed meditation with Dr. Patty Shutt, a licensed psychologist, life coach and founder of Sacred Treehouse, a yoga, meditation and educational facility in Delray Beach that offers meditation classes. (561-278-6033, sacredtreehouse.org) PBI: How would you describe meditation to someone unfamiliar with the practice?

Shutt: Meditation means awareness. It is a state of being in the moment, fully immersed in pure consciousness, without any doing—simply being. Through the practices of concentration, relaxation, movement or mindfulness, the mind can settle and a person reaches a state of being without distraction and freedom from conditioning.

What are the mental benefits?

Individuals report a greater sense of clarity, concentration and awareness of the most important things in life.

What about the physical benefits?

Fitness Fashion

Let’s be honest: You want to look your best even when working out.

Pick up these pieces, curated for today’s hottest workouts, and you’ll stay fashionable even while breaking a sweat.

Barre: The perfect uniform for a barre class marries dancewear with convenience. Barre is typically done barefooted or with grip socks, so opt for a pair from Pointe Studio ($10-$20) featuring fun designs, padding and silicone grips.

On top, sport Alo Yoga’s Path three-quarter sleeve top ($62) with a lightweight, knit-mesh fabric in a dancer-approved design. Finally, you’ll need something to haul all this gear, so purchase Gaiam’s Everything Fits gym bag ($60) with compartments for your water bottle, yoga mat, phone and keys. (949-429-4428, pointe-studio.com); (855-793-3100, aloyoga.com); (877-989-6321, gaiam.com)

The physical benefits are endless because with meditation comes a slowing down or stilling of the body, enhanced breathing and greater physical relaxation. These all facilitate natural healing and wellness mechanisms to operate at full capacity and can lead to dramatic decreases in symptoms of chronic illnesses, a decrease in pain and even total healing.

What's an example of a beginner meditation exercise?

I teach people a simple breath meditation where they follow the inhalation and exhalation as it naturally occurs, simply bringing awareness to just this breath.

&

What’s the best environment in which to meditate? Find out this and more tips from Dr. Shutt at palmbeachillustrated.com/meditation

Indoor Cycling: Movement is key when it comes to spin style. A form-fitting pair of highquality leggings, like the Moto legging ($110) from Olympia Activewear, allows for a range of mobility. Pair those with a loose, breathable top, such as lululemon athletica’s lightweight clip-in tank ($58), and throw your hair into a bun and you’ll be ready to pedal with the best of them. (808-280-0705, olympiaactivewear.com); lululemon athletica, Palm Beach Gardens (561-691-3782, lululemon.com)

Kickboxing: Kickboxing garb is all about swagger and comfort. Start with a supportive sports bra from Victoria’s Secret ($29.50-$75.50) available in a variety of shapes, colors and patterns. Next, you’ll need a lightweight short that’s easy to move in, like Athleta’s Triangular Pulse short ($49). For before and after the workout—and for intimidation purposes—sport this beautiful Adidas Rita Ora Roses Logo hoodie ($80).

Together we can Save our Rhinos

What is Happening to the Rhinos

Tree of Life Foundation International is a Global fundraising organization that connects the gifts, talents and resources of individuals and worldwide organizations. The Foundation raises national and international awareness of Global crisis and fills the needs of the people, defends animals and protects the environment.

Criminal gangs have infiltrated the sale of rhino horns and are often recruiting poor villagers in African communities to kill rhinos and take their horns. The villagers or gang members will sneak into a game reserve and then dart the rhino to tranquilize it. After the rhino passes out, they hack the horn off the face of the rhino, and take it to sell to their boss. The rhino will then wake up and slowly bleed to death.

Tree of Life Foundation International is making a powerful impact and difference in filling the needs of local, national and International communities, through a network of twenty two branches. The branches include Addiction and Substance Abuse, Ambassador, Animals, Arts, Clothing, Energy, Education, Environment, Food, Global Challenges, Homeless, Housing, Human Rights, Logistics, Media, Medical, Orphanage, Philanthropist, Professionals, Science and Technology, Sports and volunteers.

Working with committed organizations and volunteers we were able to save hundreds of animals, provide them with loving care and find them well matched habitat and forever homes. Tree of Life Foundation supported Our Horn is NOT Medicine Campaign along with philanthropists Helen and Helena Guest to help save the Rhinos. Our Horn is NOT medicine campaign is creating Awareness and educating the public on the plight of South Africa’s Rhino.

What is a rhino horn made of and why is it desired? A rhino horn is made up of keratin (the same substance that makes up our fingernails). Somehow, the myth has spread that a rhino horn could possibly cure certain diseases, but it has been scientifically proven that a rhinos horn will not heal you anymore than chewing on your own fingernails!

Last year, over one thousand rhinos were poached in South Africa alone (that is one twentieth of the rhino population there). In fact, poaching incidents are steadily increasing in South Africa to the point that the number of rhinos killed is almost above the number of rhinos born. The point that deaths outweigh births is called the “tipping point” and is the point at which the population begins to be unable to recover itself successfully. We are nearly at that point now. Experts are warning that if we don’t turn the situation around, rhinos will be extinct in the wild within 10 years time.

Our Horn is NOT Medicine was founded by Lee-Anne Davis on January 12, 2012. Lee-Anne is a field ranger based at Ngala Tented Camp, a private concession within the Kruger National Park in South Africa, and has been working for AndBeyond Safaris for the last four and a half years. The Kruger National Park hosts most of the world’s rhino population, and thus it has been hit hardest by the poaching crisis. After a handful of encounters with poached rhinos, Lee-Anne had a need to take action and educate the world about the slaughter that was taking place.

Education, protection and re-location are what we believe are the vital components to the survival of the rhino species. This three pronged approach is how we believe we will win the war on poaching.

They support Africa Foundation and Rhinos without borders projects.

Our Horn is NOT medicine Campaign is very grateful for the generous support of the Palm Beach residents. The funds raised in Palm Beach was handed over to the Bostwana APU in the Okavango Delta Anti-poaching team who are manning the area that the 100 rhinos will be moved to. They have so far moved 6 into the area. To know more about the projects and to make a donation please visit our website at www.treeoflifefi.org Tree of Life Foundation International gives out 100% of all funds received to the community and organizations.

We all can “give a gift of hope” that will make a positive impact in someone’s life.

Please help us give hope, food, housing and love to so many animals, children, men and women throughout the world.

Georgina Bloomberg

Brian Smith

Professional equestrian Georgina Bloomberg is a champion rider who’s been capturing wins since childhood. Outside the ring, the New York City and Wellington resident is the co-author of four young adult novels about the equestrian show circuit, an ASPCA board member and the founder of The Rider’s Closet, a nonprofit that donates gently used riding clothes to equestrians in need. The younger daughter of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg also is mom to infant son Jasper, who often joins her on the riding circuit. This month, she competes in the Winter Equestrian Festival.

International polo club

Most recent coveted purchase An amazing Badgley Mischka gown. I have no idea where I am going to wear it, but I knew I had to have it.

Drink of choice Grey Goose cosmopolitan never leaves home without My phone and gum Palm Beach obsession Echo in Palm Beach. I love the sushi, but the chocolate-chip soufflé is maybe the most delicious thing I have ever had.

Travel spot Bermuda is my happy place. We spent the summers there at my godparents’ house when I was a child, and my father purchased a house there a few years ago, so I go as much as I can. reading now Wildlife Wars: My Fight to Save Africa’s Natural Treasures by Richard Leakey, because I am fascinated and in awe of what he has done to protect wildlife.

Stress reliever Working out. It always makes me feel better and more relaxed.

Guilty pleasure Celebrity gossip magazines Listens to Aerosmith and The Killers. But I have a 1-year-old son, so really anything we listen to is a lullaby or kids’ song.

How she spends a lazy sunday Going for drinks at International Polo Club. It’s the most beautiful setting and the best way to celebrate the end of the show week.

TV addiction All the trashy reality TV shows on Bravo and TLC. You name it, I am addicted to it.
