BLENHEIM PALACE

Th e U n f o l d i n g o f a Vi s i o n A Commissioned Collection of Paintings of Blenheim Palace

by

Charles Neal

Benefit Exhibition On View Palm Beach: February 2016

Blenheim Palace was the gift of Queen Anne and a grateful nation to the 1st Duke of Marlborough for his great victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704.

Everywhere the Palace’s design reflects this triumphal mood, from the military details of the trophies on the colonnades to the scale of the heroic Grand Bridge.

The dramatic effect harmonizes perfectly with ‘Capability’ Brown’s great lake and hanging beech woods beyond. It all looks so effortlessly natural but in fact the scene was artfully and laboriously created between 1764 and 1774. Today, Blenheim Palace is not only an iconic part of history, but also a living, changing experience with a wealth of sporting and cultural events throughout the year.

This collection of paintings by British Contemporary Charles Neal strikingly captures the beauty and essence of this remarkable Palace.

From the Publisher

If it’s February, then that means event season in Palm Beach is in full swing.

The ballrooms at The Breakers, Mar-a-Lago, and other premier Palm Beach resorts are bursting with philanthropists of all ages eager to dine and dance for good causes. Bringing together the social lights of our community allows us all the chance to shine brightly for those in need.

Our February kicks off at The Winter Ball to support the Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County on February 5. Then, my wife and I will celebrate Valentine’s Day at The Breakers for the sixty-first annual Palm Beach Heart Ball. The annual Polo Hall of Fame Gala and Induction Ceremony at the Museum of Polo and Hall of Fame in Lake Worth is sandwiched in between on February 12. All are great events in support of worthy causes.

Patti LaBelle fans will rejoice this month with her star appearance at the Raymond F. Kravis Center Gala on February 3. The sponsors and attendees of this annual event are a who’s who of philanthropy and civic activism in Palm Beach County.

But February isn’t just about black ties and gowns. The Palm Beach Jewelry, Art and Antique Show grows in size and depth each year. From February 10-16, walk the show for visual delights and gems around each corner. Or, head outdoors for the Honda Classic, which tees off February 22 at PGA National Resort & Spa. Craving a change in venue? Order up an Uber and head to Miami for the South Beach Wine and Food Festival.

Fifteen years and going strong, this event is a mini-city dedicated to the culinary arts. Miami is also the location for a new event that focuses on the impact Latin women have had on the arts. Hispanic Women Disrupting Art and Culture takes place February 10 at the Perez Art Museum Miami. Hosted by Kara Ross and Darlene Perez, this event will be attended by influencers from both Miami and Palm Beach.

The beauty of these and many other South Florida activities at this time of year is they benefit charities, schools, museums, and other critical philanthropic endeavors. Events that make you feel good dining and visiting with friends and also help improve the lives of hundreds throughout the year are the ultimate win-win.

No matter which route your choose—black tie and evening gown at the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa or jeans and sandals at the SOBEWFF Burger Bash on Miami Beach—there is always an event to fit your style and desire to give back. What better way to show your support of the special things that make Palm Beach County and South Florida a hub of philanthropic activity, in February and throughout the year.

From the Editor

To fully appreciate the joy of living in South Florida, you need only step outside. The tingle of the ocean breeze, the profusion of green, and the scents of spring more or less year-round are invitations to enjoy nature and all its gifts.

Regardless of how you choose to do that, you’ll find inspiration in this issue. From outdoor sporting pursuits to feasting on the bounty of nature to driving with the top down, we’ve got you covered.

Our ode to the great outdoors begins with Jeff and Frances Fisher’s extraordinary garden created to complement a landmarked John Volk residence in Palm Beach. In partnership with landscape architect Jorge Sanchez, Frances called upon her innate good taste and Southern heritage to conceive a garden that is equal parts formal and inviting. The towering podocarpus arches are feats of ingenuity, but there is so much more to love about this perfectly Palm Beach space. For the full story, turn to “Enchanted Garden,” on page 92.

For those who enjoy a fast ride with the wind in their hair, we present “Top Down,” a roundup of the most fabulous convertibles on the market today.

You can choose to go retro (Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS), luxe (Rolls-Royce Dawn), or demonic (Ferrari 488 Spider). Or, you can ask yourself the milliondollar question: What would James (as in Bond) do? Why, he’d slide into an Aston Martin DB9 GT Volante, of course. See these and more of our automotive editor’s favorites on page 100.

A farm-fresh feast is always a privilege. Locally, we can thank Swank Specialty Produce and its Swank Table for bringing earth-to-table goodness to the masses. On a balmy night in late fall, foodies and hipsters gathered beneath the pole barn and feasted on inventive dishes made with sustainable produce and meats. Presented by a talented group of chefs and entertaining expert Annie Falk, the menu underscored the bounty of the land (and sea) that surrounds us. We captured the casually chic affair in “Farm Fresh,” on page 116.

Whether you’re a participant or a spectator in outdoor pursuits, you’ll find plenty of ideas to make the most of your day in the sun. Grab a lounge chair at the club and a copy of our En Plein Air issue—and enjoy!

Red Delicious

Winter’s bounty is blooming and things are coming up red. All around South Florida, strawberries are ripening under the winter sun. This delicious fruit is actually a member of the rose family, and each one on average contains 200 tiny seeds. After heading to a local u-pick farm and loading up on a pail full of berries, unwind with this sweet and zippy strawberry-ginger mojito.

Ingredients (serves 2) 10 fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered 4 sprigs of mint (about 24 leaves) 1/4 lime, quartered

1 tsp. fresh grated ginger 2 tbsp. raw sugar 1/2 cup white rum

2 cups cracked ice Club soda

Insider William Shatner

William Shatner has been a fixture of stage and screen for more than half a century. In that time, he has portrayed a number of iconic characters, from the stoic yet awestruck Captain Kirk on Star Trek to the senile yet suave Denny Crane on Boston Legal and countless Priceline Negotiator appearances in between. Shatner started out as a Shakespearean actor in his native Canada before becoming Kirk and solidifying his status as a pop-culture icon. On February 2, see the legend in person at the Kravis Center when he presents his one-man show, Shatner’s World Starring William Shatner. Tickets start at $25. (561-832-7469, kravis.org) How did your Shakespearean training prepare you to be a starship captain?

There is, I suppose, an elegance about the way you play Shakespearean roles—an authority that you need to have to play those roles, both in your voice, your language, and your bearing. I think that may have helped me be a commander of a lot of people.

Have you been to Palm Beach before?

I played the [Royal] Poinciana Playhouse many, many years ago as a young actor. And I learned to fly in West Palm Beach. I soloed in West Palm Beach and then went on back to California.

How did you develop your one-man show?

It evolved over a series of anecdotes that became stories that blended with each other, and I found bridges between them so they added up to a complete whole. What I’ve got here is a laughter-filled show that has, at several moments, tears to it. It is both comical and meaningful. I talk about love and I talk about gorillas. I talk about motorcycles and I talk about death and I talk about comedy. There is a full mixture of my life but done in as humorous a way as I can imagine.

Secret Garden Pan’s Garden, part of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, is mere yards from the bustle of Worth Avenue but feels like an ancient Eden.

Established in 1994, it is home to more than 300 species of native flora divided between upland and wetland areas that span about half an acre. “I think it’s a great use of a small space, and it really highlights how natives can be used in a more traditional sense,” says gardens director Daniele Garson. The garden also houses two

works of art: the Casa Apava wall and a statue of Pan of Rohallion, from which the garden gets its name. The colorful wall, originally on an estate on South Ocean Boulevard, dates back to the 1920s and weighs more than 100 tons. The statue of Pan, the god of shepherds, was designed in 1890

by Frederick MacMonnies and sits in a place of honor at the entrance. Throughout the year, the Preservation Foundation hosts classes on everything from butterfly gardening to ethnobotany—the study of the relationship between people and plants—all of which are open to the public.

Visitors can also stop by for a moment of Zen daily between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

The evening will feature a live auction with many fantastic lots, including the chance to attend the Roberto Cavalli fashion show in Milan.

Attendees will receive a sneak peek of a new film—coproduced by Annie Falk and award-winning Joe DiMaggio at an AHA event honoring Mrs. Horace E. Dodge, filmmaker Dawn Scibilia—that highlights AHA’s chairman of the 1957 Heart Ball Teaching Gardens initiative, which aims to counteract childhood obesity by showing elementary students how to grow and harvest produce.

From February 10-16, the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art and Antique Show will once again bring endless aisles of bling and beauty to the Palm Beach County Convention Center.

In honor of our nation’s first president, here are four George Washington collectibles that will be available through New Orleans’ M.S. Rau Antiques. (561-822-5440, palmbeachshow.com)

Plates: Washington and his wife, Martha, dined upon this blue Canton china dinner plate ($24,500) and served supper using this pewter platter ($28,500).

Cameo Mourning Pendant: Following Washington’s death in 1799, Martha commissioned and wore this cameo mourning pendant ($34,500) in honor of her late husband.

Hair and Casket Shavings: Diehard Washington fans with a penchant for the macabre will go gaga for this frame ($22,850) that contains strands of his hair and shavings from his funerary case.

Biography: This exceptionally rare early biography ($22,500) by James A. Harrison boasts Cosway binding and a stunning portrait of Washington.

Capehart

As the longest continuously running gala in Palm Beach, the American Heart Association’s Palm Beach Heart Ball has experienced its share of glamorous moments. The first Heart Ball took place February 14, 1956 and raised $30,840—a feat when factoring in inflation.

In the 60 years since, the ball has welcomed many celebrity attendees, including Zsa Zsa Gabor, Frank Sinatra, and Ed Sullivan, and contributed millions of dollars to support the fight against heart disease and stroke, the No. 1 and No. 5 causes of death in America, respectively. The ante has been upped for the sixty-first Heart Ball, taking place at The Breakers on February 14. Whether you’re a regular attendee or a Heart Ball newbie, here are three reasons to attend this year’s event. (561-697-6621, palmbeachheartball.heart.org)

A Brilliant

Mission “Jewelry more than anything else tells a story,” muses part-time Palm Beacher Kara Ross. For years, Ross’ eponymous line of high-end jewelry has defined her story. Now, she’s turning a new page and forging a legacy as an advocate for women’s empowerment with Diamonds Unleashed.

Described as a brand with a social purpose, Diamonds Unleashed came about when Ross was resetting her engagement ring, a process that led her to question why women have to wait to be given a diamond. “It’s really the only commodity in today’s society that has a stigma attached to a woman buying it for herself,” she says. Ross decided then and there to rebrand diamonds into a symbol for female empowerment. “When you look at all these adjectives that describe a diamond—beautiful, strong, multifaceted, unbreakable, and brilliant—I think that so aptly describes women.”

In the almost two years since that idea took hold, Ross designed a logo (two diamonds laid upon each other to form a heart) that encapsulates the brand’s mission. “You know what the peace sign is. You also know what the pink ribbon stands for,” she says. “In the not too distant future, I want people to see this beautiful symbol and say, ‘I know what that’s about. That’s about women’s empowerment.’”

The logo was the jumping-off point for a Diamonds Unleashed jewelry collection, as well as a Stuart Weitzman shoe clip, unveiled in December.

The pieces are available on HSN and at Neiman Marcus, and an engagement line is also in the works. The majority of the net profits from these pieces are being donated to two organizations dedicated to fostering the female leaders of tomorrow: She’s the First and Girls Who Code.

The products, however, are just one aspect of Diamonds Unleashed. Ross also enlisted the help of more than 200 women—including Serena Williams and Martha Stewart—to be her “stilettos on the ground” and spread the message that women can do and be whatever they want. “These women are the embodiment of the values this whole thing stands for,” she says. “I only have one voice, and in

order for this be a movement—and that’s what this is, a modern-day women’s movement—you have to have a lot of women across all categories, across all fields, who have powerful voices.”

The final facet is the Women’s Empowerment Salon Series, panel events in major U.S. cities with world-renowned speakers who are causing significant change in their respective fields. On February 10, the series comes to Miami to discuss Hispanic women disrupting the status quo.

All of these elements combine to form one very different—and impactful—way to approach the business of jewelry design. Ross has redefined what it means to marry skill and passion to create a movement that can change the lives of many. “I completely transformed my business to be all about this,” she says.

“It’s not only just about celebrating where women are and how far we’ve come. It’s also about paying it forward.” (diamondsunleashed.org)

Diamonds Unleashed is partnering with CanadaMark diamonds, a leader in ethical diamond mining, to provide women with pieces that share their sense of social responsibility.

The arts are a vital part of a well-rounded education. Thankfully, Palm Beach County students have access to an institution that not only believes this but also does everything in its power to foster the next generation of artists. Founded in 1990 as the Palm Beach County School of the Arts, the Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts earned its current moniker in 1997 when local entrepreneur and philanthropist Alexander W. Dreyfoos gave the facility $1 million, the largest private donation ever made to a Florida public school. On February 26, notable alumni and supporters will gather at The Mar-a-Lago Club to honor Dreyfoos—the man and the school— with An Evening with Our Stars: Celebrating 25 Years of Dreyfoos School of the Arts. Below, some outstanding Dreyfoos grads share their take on just what makes their alma mater so special. (561-805-6298, soafi.org)

Nadine Sierra Graduation year: 2006 Department: Theater Claim to fame: Opera singer who made her Metropolitan Opera debut last year singing the part of Gilda in Rigoletto Dreyfoos experience in three words or fewer: Life changing, supportive, unforgettable How Dreyfoos prepared her for a career in the arts: I started working at Palm Beach Opera when I was 14, and the teachers and administrators at Dreyfoos understood that this was important to my artistic development and allowed it to be part of my education.

Dreyfoos gave me the advantage to not only learn about what I wanted to do but to actually do it in the real world of opera. Words of thanks for Alexander Dreyfoos: Thank you for creating such an incredible establishment where people like me can live out our passions without feeling criticized and judged. I’d also say thank you to the Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation, which provides funding for the school, and to everyone who attends the performances and supports the students.

Joshua Harto Graduation year: 1997 Department: Theater Claim to fame: Film and television actor who has appeared in The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Bridge of Spies, Justified, and Veronica Mars Dreyfoos experience in three words or fewer: Life altering What he learned: Dreyfoos taught me it was okay to be me, that my unique voice was special, and that hard work is the essential element in turning artistic talent into a career in the arts.

Message to aspiring students: Do it. Even if you don’t see art as the way you will eventually make your living, Dreyfoos will prepare you to excel at whatever career you choose. A Dreyfoos education teaches you self-expression, self-awareness, and self-confidence, which is what you need to be successful at any endeavor.

Billy Bell Graduation year: 2008 Department: Dance Claim to fame: Appeared on seasons six and seven of So You Think You Can Dance and teaches at the Broadway Dance Center in New York City Dreyfoos experience in three words or fewer: Filled with opportunity What he learned: How to adapt. In the dance division, we were given many different and juxtaposed techniques and were expected to do them well. Dreyfoos enabled me to become an artist who, through adapting and remaining open to many art forms, has a voice. My teachers taught me that my voice needed to be heard and that a single individual can make a great change if they are persistent enough. Words of thanks for Alexander Dreyfoos: Thank you for creating a safe space, a place for exploration, and a home for vulnerability. Without this institution, the vibrancy and culture of South Florida would be much dimmer.

Emilie Gossiaux Graduation year: 2007 Department: Visual arts Claim to fame: Despite being blind and profoundly hearing impaired, Gossiaux has found success as a visual artist and is also an educator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Dreyfoos experience in three words or fewer: Fun, inspirational, freeing Proudest moment: My senior show, when I did my first performance piece. I remember feeling so nervous, but I got a lot of encouragement from my teachers. In the end, I felt like I succeeded in something really challenging for me personally, which was to perform in public.

Message to aspiring students: Do not take this time in your life for granted. High school at Dreyfoos was one of the highlights of my life, and I look back at it with great appreciation. Explore your freedom of expression and hold onto the strong relationships you build over the years.

It’s the kind of place where Princess Jasmine and Aladdin would live out their happily ever after. Smack in the middle of the Liwa Desert— the world’s largest uninterrupted sand desert —sits a series of fortresses so breathtaking, so grand, so out of this world, it begs the question: Is this a Disney mirage or reality?

Answer: Reality. A reality called Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, a fivestar oasis of Arabian grandeur enveloped by

towering, rust-hued dunes in the southernmost reaches of Abu Dhabi. From camel treks to desert sailing to unapologetic pampering in and around your remote Middle Eastern palace, there’s no shortage of fodder for personal travel dispatches at this surreal retreat.

The peregrination begins with a road trip through the United Arab Emirates, either 90 minutes from the Abu Dhabi International Airport or three hours from Dubai. Development and civilization cease long before Qasr Al Sarab appears on the horizon, adding to the Arabian high as you drive deeper into the Liwa Desert. Finally, a twinkle of light and the resort comes into view—a vast medieval enclave dotted with soaring date palms surrounded by sky-high pillows of red sand.

You’ll soon be swept away to your personal swath of luxury as each of the 205 rooms, suites, and villas sports an Arabianchic motif and faces the endless desert.

But it’s the expansive villas—with floor-toceiling windows, private swimming pools (chilled, no less), massive terraces, and consummate butler service—that lend to more private desert indulgences.

During your stay, you’ll have the choice of doing everything or nothing, marooned in the Liwa Desert, mesmerized by the swaying dunes that change colors with the rise and fall of the sun. For those desiring more active pursuits, daily activities in and around the resort include sand sledding, land sailing, falconry, archery, and trekking through the desert by camel or even by foot. For those looking to relax, the Anantara Spa houses a hammam and a hydrotherapy circuit for pre- or post-treatment detox. For more resort-style fun, the principal swimming pool is idyllic for lounging and socializing, cocktail in hand.

Indoors, the resort’s Spice Spoons program holds daily regional cooking classes. You’ll leave the new king or queen of meze and Arabic cuisine after excellent hands-on instruction (and tastings) with two executive chefs. There are more chances to experience the prowess of the chefs and their team at the resort’s five restaurants. One evening, be sure to book Dining by Design on the dunes so the team can privately cater your feast under the desert sky.

With vistas so surreal they brink on animation and experiences so theatrical they play out like reveries, you’ll need to pinch yourself once or twice at Qasr Al Sarb to confirm this is indeed not an illusion. (qasralsarab. anantara.com)

Travel 40 minutes by ferry from the Qatari capital of Doha to discover a sleepy, uninhabited beach colony transformed into a modern paradise. Banana Island Resort Doha is a private-island escape that comprises a 96room hotel and 34 beachfront villas, all of which exude a Maldivian-style vibe that sets it apart from Middle East competitors.

Annexed to Banana Island proper, 11 dreamy two- and three-bedroom overwater bungalows (measuring nearly 2,500 and 4,000 square feet, respectively) rise from the shallows of the Persian Gulf, exuding an aesthetic that’s oh-so-Maldives on a gargantuan scale that’s decidedly Middle Eastern. These floating palaces are decked out in elegant

Arabian design, strewn with intricate latticework and brass lanterns, and equipped with every modern amenity imaginable, including a sleek, cantilevered swimming pool.

At the resort, over-the-top amenities go beyond the typical ornate spa and gymnasium to include a bowling alley, a nine-hole putting course, a cinema, and a double-lane surf pool.

An onsite dive center also facilitates daily trips to the nearby offshore reef.

Banana Island’s cuisine spans multiple continents over eight outstanding restaurants. Savor the likes of succulent Lebanese delights, upscale Indian fare, and gourmet Italian meals, but don’t expect to wash it down with fine wine or artisanal cocktails.

Banana Island is a “dry” destination, which means this island rapture isn’t for everyone. (doha.anantara.com)

The emirate electrifies with physicsdefying skyscrapers (including the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa), more than 100 shopping malls (such as The Dubai Mall, the world’s biggest with 1,200 stores spread across 13 million square feet), and impossibly outrageous activities (like Ski Dubai, which offers indoor skiing, even in 125-degree heat).

In keeping with this extreme excess, the Tom Wright–designed Burj Al Arab Jumeirah embodies Dubai decadence. Each suite is a double-story, glass-encased masterpiece ranging from 1,820 to 8,400 square feet and arranged like puzzle pieces in a 56-story

A Taste of Miami

The Ritz-Carlton South Beach is the ultimate perch for the SoBe food fest and its famed Burger Bash. Food coma not included.

Clockwise from top left: DiLido Beach Club oceanfront dining; the artful lobby of the Ritz-Carlton South Beach; Bistro One LR; tasting wine.

By Daphne Nikolopoulos Loosen your belts, South Florida foodies. That behemoth of food events, the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by Food & Wine, heads our way this month.

This must-attend event can be experienced any number of ways. You can jostle for elbow room among the hungry masses, or you can have a VIP experience that will afford you a front-row seat to the action. If you opt for the latter, you can choose whether to dive into the commotion or sit back, amused, and take it all in.

Though the festival takes place all over the beach and has even expanded into Fort Lauderdale, Ground Zero is 1 Lincoln Road. From Chef Christian Cuevas (left) plates during Swine to Vine, a Bank of America pairing seminar.

there you can head to the Delano (Meatopia, Barilla’s Italian Bites on the Beach), host hotel Loews (Tribute Dinner), or the Ritz-Carlton South Beach (Amstel Light Burger Bash, Lucky Chopsticks). It’s also a short hop to the Goya Foods Grand Tasting Village at Ocean Drive and 13th Street.

All are signature events, but there is no madness like Burger Bash madness. Hosted by Rachael Ray, the Bash turns 10 this year. Top burger chefs will grill up their best and vie for the People’s Choice and Very Best Burger awards. The anniversary celebration promises even greater mayhem, if that is possible.

With or without tickets to the Burger Bash, smart foodies have already booked a room on the Club Level of the Ritz-Carlton. It’s the best strategy for being both in the midst of the activity and taking a luxe break from it.

To be honest, the dining experience here beats anything you’ll find on the sampling tables. If you tire of the festival hubbub, head to Bistro One LR for the best Cuban sandwich in town or to the DiLido Beach Club, South Beach’s only true oceanfront restaurant, for a toes-in-the-sand sundowner and a killer snapper ceviche.

Or you can order the very burger the hotel will be entering in the Bash. You just may be sitting close enough to see Ray’s reaction when she tastes it. (ritzcarlton.com/southbeach; sobefest.com) «

The Cat Claws Back Jaguar will unveil many new models in 2016, starting with the transformed XF

By Howard Walker You’ve got to love the lyrics. “On a morning from a Bogart movie, in a country where they turn back time, you go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre, contemplating crime.”

All together now: “In the year of the cat.”

It was the soft-rock anthem of 1976 by Glaswegian folkie Alastair “Al” Stewart. Go on, take a trip down memory lane and pull it up on iTunes.

Fast-forward 40 years—yikes—to 2016 and Year of the Cat should be anointed as Jaguar’s official anthem.

Over the next six months, Jaguar will introduce a tsunami of long-awaited metal that includes the XE, a sexy and compact $35,000 sports sedan that’ll butt heads with BMW’s 3-series, Audi’s new A4, and Mercedes’ C-Class.

Next up will be the gorgeous F-Pace sports crossover meant to rival everything from Porsche’s Macan to Audi’s Q5 to BMW’s X5.

84 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

It’ll sticker from around $41,000.

Both will be backed by Jaguar’s new Elite Care five-year, 60,000-mile, free-maintenance warranty program and the kind of aggressive pricing practiced at Wal-Mart.

To start off this banner year, Jaguar has released an all-new, fresh-from-the-tires-up XF mid-size sports sedan.

Like the big XJ and racy F-Type two-seater, this XF features a lightweight aluminumintensive body. Using aluminum shaves 265 pounds off the waistline and increases body stiffness by 28 percent.

This lighter weight, along with I-beam body rigidity, aids in Jaguar’s mission to make this new XF the most agile, most dynamic driver’s car in its class.

It helps that Jaguar engineers purloined some of the best bits from the racy F-type roadster and coupe. This XF uses the same supercharged V-6 engine, same 8-speed fast-shifting automatic, same suspension, same laser-precise electric steering, and even the same chunky wheel.

For the time being, U.S. buyers can choose between 340- and 380-horse versions of Jag’s proven 3.0-liter, direct-injection V-6. There’s a new fuel-sipping 2.0-liter turbo diesel coming, but given the VW emission scandal, no one will care.

The 380-hp XF S has power aplenty to punch the car from zero to 60 in just 5 seconds and catapult it out of tight curves. It’s not the smoothest, most refined V-6 out there, and it lacks the snap and snarl of the F. But coupled with the lightning-fast responses of that 8-speed automatic, it delivers exhilaration by the bucketful.

helm, while the front end grips as tenaciously as chewing gum to shag carpet.

The all-wheel drive version should be even more thrilling.

Jaguar designers have also done a fine job of upgrading the XF’s interior. The additional two inches in the car’s wheelbase means there’s extra rear-seat knee room. Despite the car being a smidge lower to the ground, there’s an inch more headroom.

While the dashboard design isn’t as flashy as the one adorning Mercedes’ new E-Class, it’s beautifully crafted and finally features up-to-date technology. The new InControl Pro 10.2-inch touch screen allows you to pinch and zoom like with an iPad. The optional laser Heads-up Display on the windshield is the best on the market.

Don’t judge the styling of this new XF from the photos. While the lines are clearly evolutionary, it looks much more elegant in the metal.

The bigger, more upright grille and huge air-gulping front intakes exude a certain ruggedness, while the tiny windows behind the rear doors add visual length to the car and light to the rear cabin.

Jaguar’s more competitive pricing policy further heightens the appeal of this new XF. It slashes $5,000 off of the entry-level XF 35t, which now stickers at $52,895, and the sporty XF S is a steal at $63,695.

The year of the cat, indeed. Purrfect. «

GARDEN

The Fisher family creates an Italianate oasis at an iconic Palm Beach property

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

For years, Frances Fisher admired a beautiful John Volk house on a quiet, shady street in the estate section of Palm Beach, enraptured by the elegant lines and details from a bygone era. Even while she and husband Jeff were building their own home on another part of the island, she kept her eyes on the landmarked property, formally called the Charles Hall residence after the original owner. “I would go down this street and see the Christmas tree in the window,” she says. “I just always loved it.”

“We love Italian gardens,” Frances says.

“We love the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum garden in Boston, so I really wanted that feel here.”

“The house and garden feel like an adventure to us. We feel like we’re on vacation all the time here.” —Frances Fisher So when the historic estate became available, the Fishers quickly switched gears, sold the house they were building, and purchased Frances’ dream home, where they and their young son have now lived for two years.

Before they moved in, the Fishers renovated the property inside and out—including, most notably, the private garden, which can be viewed from nearly every room in the twostory, U-shaped house. Frances, a philanthropist and preservationist, envisioned an Italian-inspired oasis that was family friendly and modern yet still true to Volk’s design. To bring the project to life, she turned to Jorge Sanchez of the Palm Beach firm SMI Landscape Architecture.

“Frances was very much involved in the overall plan,” says Sanchez, who has worked with Frances on two other projects. “She had a huge influence.

Our mission is to not only respect the architecture but also interpret what the client wants, their likes and dislikes, and also how they plan to use the house and garden. So we needed to make this very family oriented, with space for a swimming pool, a terrace, a barbecue [area].”

The project was a bit of a challenge, as “the property is not a huge space,” Sanchez admits. Yet he found a creative way to meet the Fishers’ needs: by dividing the grounds into defined areas, each with its own interest.

The focal point in the center of the property consists of four quadrants, each centered with a square-shaped fountain—a calming water feature. The symmetrical spaces hold beds of feathery angelonia that bloom every few weeks into tiny blue and purple flowers. Sanchez framed each quad with

low podocarpus hedges, which he says allow “a more trimmed, clipped appearance” than commonly used ficus and none of the white flies the latter attracts. At the meeting point of the four spaces are large terracotta urns planted with a ball-shaped display of boxwood, offering a punctuation point to the formal linear pathways.

Beyond the perimeter of the quadrants, Sanchez designed a rose garden, a koi pond, a swimming pool, and a barbecue area. To imbue the space with Italian flair, he incorporated garcinia trees, which offset the hedges’ darker, tinier leaves. He also designed three terraces: a dining terrace on the west side of the house, a formal one on the east side, and a loggia terrace overlooking the pool. On the latter, Sanchez installed an awning—a decision that, to Frances’ relief, negated the need to build onto the actual structure of the house.

Secret paths (far left) lead to surprises in different parts of the garden. One of these is the koi pond (below), lined with water lilies. Podocarpus arches (right) define each garden “room.”

“I’m a purist,” she says. “Changing the house like that is not something we wanted to do.”

More terracotta urns holding ivy and other mixed plants are scattered throughout the property, including beneath archways of towering podocarpus. These archways serve as “doors” that separate each “room” in the garden, Sanchez explains, and give the grounds a feeling of maturity far beyond their one season of age.

They were also one of his biggest risks; at first, he questioned their appearance in Palm Beach’s tropical ambiance. “I wasn’t sure they were going to work out,” he says. “But we are past the first season now with the garden, and they look wonderful.”

The archways, some as tall as 15 feet, are towering examples of trust and patience: Growing and transforming the podocarpus into their curved shapes took two and a half years prior to installation. “We would drive out [to the 96

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

plant nursery] sometimes and just look at the podocarpus and say hi,” Frances laughs. “When the day came to transplant them, put them on the truck, and move them, we all just held our breath.

But it all worked out, thankfully.”

Frances, originally from Alabama, has put her Southern touch on the garden with a magnolia tree and gardenia bushes, from which she draws fresh clippings to bring a floral aroma to the home’s interior.

“When the magnolia tree first bloomed, I was so excited,” she says. “I ran out and got a clipping and ran inside to show my husband.”

Frances wasn’t the only one in the family who had a special garden request. The koi pond, tucked on the bottom terrace near an original Volk gate, was created for her son, who loves playing at the koi pond at the nearby Episcopal Church of Bethesdaby-the-Sea. “The fish actually are able to rec-

Space in the garden was a challenge, Sanchez acknowledges. “In order to give it the volume we were looking for, we divided the spaces to give it more charm and more mystery,” he says.

ognize footsteps,” Frances says. “They know when it’s my son coming down the steps because he is the one who feeds them, and they all come out when they hear him.”

One of Frances’ favorite parts of the project was finding a variety of elements to incorporate into the garden, including the large cast-stone shell used as the pond’s fountainhead. Another weekend, while antiquing in New Orleans, she discovered a statue of Pan, the Greek god of shepherds. Perched on a crescent-shaped balcony playing his flute, he now looks over the Fishers’ oval-shaped swimming pool.

“I sent a picture of the Pan statue to Jorge from the store in New Orleans, asking if it would work, and he found the perfect place for it,” Frances says.

Today, as Pan plays amidst the thriving podocarpus and her son plays with friends along the koi pond, Frances admires her beloved estate from the inside. With their dream home now their home, the Fishers have no intention of moving on to another project.

“The house and garden feel like an adventure to us. We feel like we’re on vacation all the time here,” Frances says.

“This is home.” «

There is no finer way to enjoy the great outdoors than from behind the wheel of a convertible. Here are 10 of the latest and most exciting open-top beauties. Just add sunshine.

By Howard Walker

Star Quality Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet It’s been 45 long years since MercedesBenz had a flagship convertible in its lineup.

That car was the iconic 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet, and I still get trembly knees every time I see one on the road.

Thankfully, Mercedes has ended that bigbodied convertible drought with the unveiling of its imposing S-Class Cabriolet, which arrives in the United States this spring as a 2017 model.

Naturally, it’s based on the big S-Class 100 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Coupe, sharing 60 percent of the body structure with the hardtop. In place of the metal lid, the Cabriolet features a threelayer canvas roof that can be raised or lowered in a mere 20 seconds and at speeds as fast as 37 mph. Take your pick from four roof colors: black, dark blue, beige, and dark red.

Full credit to Mercedes engineers for making this new S Cabrio a four-seasons convertible. They’ve developed the compa-

ny’s innovative AirScarf neck-level heating system and added heated armrests.

Two Cabriolet models will be offered stateside: an S550, powered by Merc’s 4.7-liter biturbo 449-horsepower V-8, and an S63 AMG 4Matic, with its thundering 577-horsepower 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8.

No word on pricing yet, but we’re thinking around $140,000 for the S550 and $190,000 for the S63. Which is what you’d pay for a restored 1971 280SE 3.5 Cab these days.

Blast from the past Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS Not all convertibles have to have cloth tops and challenging rear visibility. Porsche’s solution with its glorious 911 Targa is a roof panel that majestically folds backward to let in the sunshine.

It’s not exactly a new idea—there have been targatopped 911s since 1965. The name comes from the famous Targa Florio road race around Sicily.

The targa design allows for a removable center roof section that leaves the huge wraparound glass rear window in place for better visibility and shelter from the wind. It’s a great halfway house between coupe and cab.

Watching the roof mechanism in action for the first time can be pretty scary. That giant glass rear window soars skywards on spindly looking metal supports before coming to rest.

Initially, this new 911 Targa came as a widebody Targa 4 model with all-wheel drive and either a 350-horsepower 3.4-liter flat-6 or a 4S with 400 horsepower.

But new for 2016 is the even sportier 911 Targa 4 GTS, packing a more powerful 430-horse flat-6 engine, a standard Sport Chrono package, active suspension management, cool center-lock 20-inch alloys, and a sports exhaust. It’s yours for $132,800.

Of course, drivers can get all variety of new 911s with a regular folding cloth roof. But the Targa might just be the best solution for feeling the sun on your face.

The Ultimate Bella Macchina Ferrari 488 Spider Fourteen seconds. That’s how long it takes to go from top up to top down in Ferrari’s magical new 660-horsepower 488 Spider.

Yet when you have a car that can scythe from standstill to 60 mph in fewer than three seconds, 14 probably seems like a lifetime.

But there’s complexity at work here. At the press of a button, the metal roof panel unlatches and splits in two, a rear panel hinges backward, and then the top powers back to rest just above the engine. Nureyev wasn’t this nimble.

Ferrari claims this new 488 Spider is the most aerodynamically efficient open car the company has ever built. Witness the gorgeous new buttresses behind each seat that not only look stunning but also are designed to funnel cooling air into the engine intakes.

Interestingly, Ferrari has toned down the scream of that twin-turbo 3.9-liter V-8 for this new Spider by modifying the exhaust so driver and passenger don’t completely lose their hearing with the top down. Don’t worry, it’s still loud.

And to help lessen the inevitable galeforce wind whipping back into the cabin at 200 mph, there’s a tiny electric screen that rises between those buttresses.

Word is stateside deliveries of this 488 Spider will kick off this summer with a sticker somewhere around the $275,000 mark.

Which all begs the question: Why would anyone buy a 488GTB Coupe when you can have the best of both worlds with the Spider?

A Villainous Cat Jaguar F-Type R AWD Convertible In its recent advertising, Jaguar pointed out the best villains in movies always seem to be played by Brits.

Case in point: Sir Anthony Hopkins playing Dr. Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs.

“I must confess,” he says, “I’m giving very serious thought … to eating your wife.”

It may not yet be a Hollywood star, but there is indeed something truly villainous about Jaguar’s newest sports car, the $109,450 2016 F-Type R AWD convertible.

Just see it in the metal, riding on those humongous 20-inch alloys, and it has all the muscular tension and hunkered-down pugilist stance of The Transporter star Jason Statham, another truly villainous Brit.

While the F Convertible has been around for a couple of years now, Jaguar recently upped

its appeal by squeezing its highest horsepower engine under that curvaceous hood.

For 2016, it gets an uprated 550-horsepower 5-liter supercharged V-8 coupled to a fastshifting ZF 8-speed automatic.

Channeling all those horses to the rear wheels might have turned this new F-Type R into the ultimate sideways-sliding “drift” car, which is why it’s wisely equipped with standard all-wheel drive.

So drop the top—it takes a mere 12 seconds— punch the start button, listen to the whooomph from the exhaust, and get on the road. It’s a magical experience.

The F-Type convertible is one part oldschool American V-8 muscle car, one part thrillingly fast supercar, one part high-luxury twoseater—and three-parts British villain. Enjoy.

British Beefcake Bentley Continental GTC Speed What we have here is simply the fastest four-seat convertible on the planet. It can spear toward the horizon at a rock-steady 206 mph, courtesy of its 626-horsepower 6-liter 12-cylinder nuclear reactor under that mile-long hood.

With the top down at 206 mph, Bentley’s latest Continental GTC Speed has the capability to blast off every last follicle on a driver’s head. Arguably more thrilling is the car’s ability to catapult from zero to 60 mph in just 4 seconds.

For 2016, the folks at Bentley have given this leather-lined rocket ship a mild body nip-tuck by resculpting the front and rear spoilers, reshaping the front fenders, adding shiny chrome Flying B fender vents, and coloring the mesh grilles in a darktint chrome finish.

To drive this new GTC Speed is to adore it. That huge cloth top is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, fitting pinch-tight while

raised and keeping out every bit of wind, rain, and cold.

But on a sunny day or warm night, drop the top and instantly feel at one with the elements, serenaded by an exhaust that sounds like Thor’s thunder.

You’ll pay around $265,000 for the joy of GTC Speed ownership. Think of it as $1,286 for each of those 206 miles per hour.

Going, Going ….

Aston Martin DB9 GT Volante It’s hard to believe Aston Martin’s achingly gorgeous DB9 Volante convertible is 13 years old. In the auto business, that’s an eternity.

Aston thinks so, too. Come springtime, the silk comes off the DB9’s long-awaited replacement, the 2016 DB11.

But even with 13 years under the DB9’s belt, there’s no reason to accelerate its departure. The car still looks as fresh, graceful, and elegant as it did in 2003.

Aston Martin is heightening the appeal

of these last cars by offering a sort of finaledition model, the DB9 GT Volante—the most powerful production DB9 ever offered.

Under that mile-long hood, the car’s 6-liter V-12 gets an additional 30 horses, taking the corral up to an impressive 540 horsepower.

Standstill to 60 mph now takes roughly 4.5 seconds, with top speed rising to more than 180 mph.

The GT also gets Aston’s smoothershifting Touchtronic 2 6-speed transmission

and is distinguished by a black front air splitter and rear diffuser; new 10-spoke, 20-inch alloys; plus a GT logo engraved on the aluminum fuel cap.

Power back the tight-fitting canvas top, fire up the big V-12, and revel in the joy of being behind the wheel of such a masterpiece of style and class.

A new DB9 GT Volante will set you back a nontrivial $217,775, but price should be no object when contemplating such beauty.

Elegance on Wheels Rolls-Royce Dawn

unleash the storm Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder

In buying a Lamborghini, part of the appeal is being seen in it. Generally, owners of these Italian toros are not particularly shy.

This is why a convertible Lamborghini has to have the most see-and-be-seen appeal.

The new $262,350 Huracán Spyder has big shoes to fill, being the replacement for the most popular convertible Lambo ever, the Gallardo Spyder.

Lamborghini engineers have certainly

104 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

done a fine job of improving on the old Gallardo soft-top, especially with regards to structural rigidity. The body of the new Huracán Spyder is 40-percent stiffer, causing even sharper, more precise handling.

It takes just 18 seconds to power-drop the Huracán’s cloth top—available in black, brown, or red—and it can raise or lower while the car is traveling as fast as 31 mph.

Under the hood, the V-10 is unchanged

Feast your peepers on the sensuous curves of those fenders, the imposing depth of the body sides, the majestic rake of the windshield.

This 2016 Rolls-Royce Dawn just might be the sexiest, most seductive Rolls convertible ever— despite having a name that might conjure up images of dishwashing liquid.

Unfortunate name or not, here is a car that oozes with the glamour of the Côte d’Azur; of a Hermès-scarfed Grace Kelly wafting top down along the Grande Corniche above Monaco.

The Dawn is essentially a convertible version of Rolls’ sleek Wraith fixed-roof coupe, sharing those trademark rear-hinged suicide doors and a rear bumper. As with the Wraith, power comes from a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 delivering a mighty and majestic 563 horsepower. That’s enough to launch the Dawn from standstill to 60 mph in fewer than five seconds.

The roof is a masterpiece of design, making the car look as graceful with the top up as it does top down. And this is a full four-seater, with stretch-out legroom in the back for adults and a trunk cavernous enough to stow their Louis Vuittons.

The company has already opened its order books, with the first cars set to be delivered in the spring. While there’s no firm word on pricing, expect somewhere in the region of $360,000. And worth every penny.

from the Huracán coupe. Its mid-mounted 5.2-liter punches out 610 horsepower through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission to all four wheels.

Click the stopwatch and see the car sprint to 60 mph in roughly 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 201 mph.

This hurricane on wheels blows into dealerships in the spring. Please form an orderly line.

italian beauty Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport If ever there was an automotive beauty queen, it’s Maserati’s divinely proportioned GranTurismo convertible. No other car on the market has such curvy hips, such a pert nose, such a feline stance. You don’t need to drive this car—just stand and gaze at its sublime proportions.

Thankfully, it drives as beautifully as it looks. Abundant power comes from a thoroughbred 4.7-liter V-8 codeveloped with Ferrari that’s eager to deliver all 454 horsepower through a fast-shifting 6-speed automatic.

There’s a real Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde dual character about the way this car delivers its thundering performance. In normal driving mode, it’s quiet, relaxed, refined, and muscular.

But hit the “sport” button, and all hell breaks loose. Valves in the exhaust open, essentially bypassing anything that might get in the way of muffling the roar.

To enjoy this unique aural feature to the fullest, drop the GT’s triple-layer cloth top—a 24-second piece of mechanical ballet—and find a city-center canyon of office buildings to let the sound waves bounce off.

And you can sit and enjoy it all from one of the most luxuriously crafted cabins around. The quality of the leatherwork, the beauty of the woodwork, the precision of the stitching is just breathtaking.

along came a (new) spider Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Who didn’t tumble head-over-heels in lust with the fire-truck red Alfa Romeo Spider convertible in the 1967 movie classic The Graduate?

The vision of the oh-so-pretty Spider Duetto roadster, a fresh-faced Dustin Hoffman behind the wheel, and a magical Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack did wonders for Alfa Romeo’s stateside image and sales.

But after a decades-long absence from the United States, Alfa is back—and spending $7

billion to introduce eight new models by 2018.

Last year, the party kicked off with the reveal of the cute Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe, a pint-sized bottle-rocket of fun and feistiness.

This year, the open-top 4C Spider will attract the attention of American Alfa fans.

This new 4C drop-top is very much an acquired taste. It’s raw and basic, loud and turbulent. And at nearly $64 grand, it’s pretty pricy.

The convertible top is not much more than

a rectangle of canvas that is rolled up and thrown in the teeny trunk.

And while its 237-horse 1.7-liter fourbanger may not sound too thrilling, remember this carbon-fiber projectile weighs roughly the same as a Tupperware container. Zero to 60 is covered in a rapid 4.1 seconds.

As a driver’s car, maybe a weekend thrill ride, the 4C Spider is a joy on four wheels, with the open roof adding to the purist experience.

FARM fresh

By Mary Murray Photography by Jerry Rabinowitz

Vibrant ingredients and a spectacular setting commingle to form the ultimate alfresco dinner at Swank Table

116 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

a

chorus of guitar, fiddle, banjo, and upright bass beckons you toward a pole barn aglow with lanterns. A friend welcomes you with smile and libation and whisks you to a communal table brimming with produce so fresh it started the day in the soil. Later that evening, as you head home warm from food and drink, you pause and gaze up at the black sky speckled with stars. This is what alfresco dining is all about. This is Swank Table.

Hosted by Swank Specialty Produce at its farm in Loxahatchee, Swank Table is the Sunday dinner of dreams. South Florida chefs swarm the fields and hydroponic grow houses to gather ingredients to prepare fine-dining-meets-picnic cuisine. Brewers, sommeliers, and mixologists join in creating a multicourse meal that complements and honors the natural setting. Best of all, a portion of the proceeds are donated to charity.

To kick off its fifth season, Swank Table transported guests to another lush locale: the Hamptons. With help from a team of chefs led by Dean James Max, Palm Beach author and philanthropist Annie Falk brought to life her latest tome, Hamptons Entertaining: Creating Occasions to Remember.

Falk attended her first Swank Table last year and jumped at the opportunity to cohost with Darrin and Jodi Swank to benefit two of her favorite charities: Children’s Home Society of Florida and Peconic Baykeeper. The theme was a no-brainer; she knew the farm would be ideal for a Hamptons-style fête.

“It’s really quiet and peaceful, and you just feel like you’re in the center of nature,”

118 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

On its farm in Loxahatchee, Swank Specialty Produce grows more than 350 varieties of produce such as herbs, vegetables, fruit, and edible flowers. On the day of the Swank Table event, all of the chefs, including pastry chef Huma Nagi (above left), picked the ingredients for their dishes.

Annie Falk (right) transported guests to the Hamptons with relaxed yet chic decor and farmto-table flowers.

Falk says. “It’s just the idea of being a part of nature for the evening that I love about being outdoors. Of course, the tricky part about being outdoors is always the weather.”

For this event, the weather was certainly a concern. In the days leading up, Palm Beach County experienced unprecedented rainfall 120 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

for the late-fall season. The forecast for the day of, however, looked clear and everything carried on as planned—with a few exceptions.

Unlike most Swank Tables where guests explore the grounds as they peruse vendors and sample appetizers, Falk and the Swanks decided to move all of the festivities under

the pole barn. They also covered the ground with hay to mask residual mud and fill potentially perilous divots. The hay turned out to be a moment of divine intervention, as it further imbued the surroundings with the essence of the Hamptons.

“I think most people have this image of the Hamptons that it’s this incredibly glamorous place,” Falk says. “It is, but for the most part it’s really very warm and welcoming. It’s chic but simple. We have so many equestrians and professional riders who spend time there, so [with] the idea of the barn and the hay and the music, I said, ‘This is so Hamptons.’”

Falk fully embraced casual elegance for the evening’s decor. Lanterns and glass bottles hung from the barn’s rafters, illuminating long tables dressed in burlap and outfitted with rustic tableware complemented by crisp white napkins and menus reminiscent of a fine watercolor painting. To finish the look, galvanized buckets held flowers grown right at Swank Farm. “The flowers looked exactly as they were meant to, like they were just picked from the farm and casually placed on the tables,” Falk says.

Of course, no Swank Table or Hamptons happening is complete without amazing farm-to-table cuisine. Max organized a group of rising top chefs, whom he’d previously worked with at 3030 Ocean in Fort Lauder-

dale, to build a menu that made use of the Swank produce and featured a Hamptons flair. Falk met with the chefs months before the feast to provide them with copies of the book for inspiration.

No stranger to Swank, Max encouraged his chefs to design dishes around the farm-fresh produce.

“The product is what defines the menu,” he says. “We look at the farm first to see what we want to serve, making a list of all the products that are in the highest quality at that time. Then each chef works to do his thing with those ingredients, and we try to make an even spread so that all the fun stuff is showcased.”

“I’m so inspired by Swank, it’s crazy,” adds Jeremy Ford, chef de cuisine at Matador Room by Jean-Georges in Miami Beach and a contestant

on the most recent season of Bravo’s Top Chef. For his appetizer, he put a Floridian spin on a burrata dish featured in Hamptons Entertaining by adding pasilladusted Swank tomatoes.

“He took the flavors of that recipe and made them a little more casual for the farm and a little brighter and sunnier in flavor for South Florida,” Falk says.

Other appetizers included a sweet tea–smoked Florida swordfish dip with red head radish, cucumber ribbons, chicken skin, and beet-pickled onions by Lauren DeShields; a house-made Seminole beef pastrami with pickled farm vegetables by Paula DaSilva and Adrienne Grenier; and Israeli couscous with roasted tomatoes

by Swank Farm’s own Simon Stojanovic. Guests gathered the bites on wooden boards and paired them with a choice of beers from Native Brewing Co. and wine curated by sommeliers from Virginia Philip Wine Shop and Academy. For the signature cocktail, Hullabaloo mixologist Brett Hart reinvented a strawberry-rhubarb granita into an adults-only treat.

Falk made one request of attendees: Bring lanterns.

All obliged, and by the time dinner was served each table was dotted with an haute hodgepodge of luminaries. The multicourse meal began with soda bread made by Old School Bakery in Delray Beach, fol122 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

lowed by a first course of charred octopus, paprika emulsion, farm herbs, and tostones-style potatoes by Ford, who also took a huge cue from the farm for his contribution.

“The dish that really embraced the farm for me was our side [dish],” he says. “We literally buried kohlrabi, radishes, and beans under wood and let them smoke for 45 minutes.”

Next, DeShields presented a whole grilled Florida quail with baby collard greens, pickled kohlrabi, nasturtiums, and Castelvetrano olives served with stinging nettle cheesy grits. DaSilva and Grenier followed with a tagine of Seminole beef and Rabat-style eggplant.

Pastry chef Huma Nagi finished the feast with a chocolate fondue accompanied by tangerine marshmallows, pistachio financiers, coconut brittle, and fruit kabobs.

Everything was cooked and plated onsite and served family style.

“Plating individually is not a communal thing, which is what the event is about,” Max says. “The dinner is about sharing the bounty of a farm with your friends and family. Passing the plate is in remembrance of the Sunday supper and sharing food and love. It’s less about the fancy and more about the fun.” «

Fun Meets Functional

Brantley Photography

Don’t get so caught up in aesthetics that you lose sight of functionality. More than a spot for occasional lounging, this vibrant summer kitchen in Boca Raton by Cudmore Builders along with Colestock and Muir Architects was designed to serve as an exterior family annex for everything from social gatherings and TV watching to casual dining and cocktails. Recognizing the intent, the team ranked adaptability as a top priority and made the entire space—including the grill area—capable of being open air, screened, or completely air-conditioned. Neither heat nor rain nor bug of night will keep homeowners from enjoying the beautiful lake and golf course views. (561-995-8989, cudmore builders.com; 561-395-1787, cmarchitects.com)

The success of a summer kitchen lies not in its size but in its stylish execution and ideal fit. In this classic Palm Beach abode designed by Smith and Moore Architects, the summer kitchen acts as an intimate conduit between the interior and secluded pool. While not immense in terms of square footage, it is substantial enough to allow for lounging, dining, and cooking.

The arched stone colonnade enclosing the loggia is a classic example of Mediterranean Revival architecture. (561-835-1888, smithmoorearchitects.com)

The summer kitchen genre is evolving, so don’t be constrained by conventional ideologies. Keating Moore Construction along with Susan Anthony and Maureen Wright of Susan Anthony Interiors looked beyond the traditional summer kitchen to create an alluring tropical respite at this North Palm Beach estate. The owners were inspired by an oceanfront home in Hawaii, and the thatched roof and ceiling immediately recall a tiki hut. However, more refined elements, such as nanowalls (which can close off the space), coquina floors, and a grill enclosure, transform this kitchen into a cultivated oasis that transports visitors anywhere from Maui to the African coast.

ASHLEY MEYER

harles Ranhofer, a chef at Delmonico’s restaurant in New York City, coined Baked Alaska’s name in 1876 to commemorate the United States’ acquisition of Alaska and to emphasize the cake’s opposing temperature extremes. At the time, the dessert—composed of pound cake and ice cream thickly coated with fluffy, flambéed meringue—was already a popular French mainstay known as omelette à la norvégienne. In true Florida fashion, Meat Market in Palm Beach has put a tropical twist on this cold-weather classic. Chef Sean Brasel layers house-made guava-lime ice cream and chocolate sponge cake inside an igloo of peaked meringue that is lightly torched before being served. Our forty-ninth state sure would be proud. (561-354-9800, meatmarket.net) —Kerry Shorr

PBI: When you’re in Palm Beach, where do you like to shop and to eat?

Boulud: I don’t do shopping too much. For my kids I shop at Roberta Roller Rabbit, but I try to stay away from all the brands we have in New York. What’s the point? I also like going to see my friend, Marcello Fiorentino, at La Sirena.

Any plans to open another restaurant in Palm Beach County?

No [laughs], no other plans. I just want to make sure we take care of what we have, and that is good enough.

Describe the most romantic meal you’ve ever made.

The most romantic meals are often on Sunday morning. Two weeks ago, I pan toasted a slice of brioche, made a hole in it, cracked an egg, and cooked it. I served it to my wife and son with some shaved white truffle. He loved it.

He’s 18 months. He’s well trained.

After staying stalwart for nearly 13 seasons, Café Boulud has undergone a major transformation. The Brazilian Court Hotel’s inimitable Francophile eatery now features such touches as mosaic tiling, seashell and pecky cypress–paneled ceilings, and a 15-seat quartzite bar that serves seasonal libations and craft beers on tap. Menus have been retooled to showcase an inventive—and shareable— selection of bar fare, locavore cuisine like blackened mahi with squash gratin and a slow-cooked pork shoulder, and perennial French classics made famous at Boulud’s eponymous eateries around the world. PBI sat down with Boulud to talk about his island haunts and romantic meals.

Many wine drinkers would recoil at the thought of mixing jalapeño peppers with their favorite quaff, but Napa winemaker Rob McDonald is doing just that.

McDonald has launched a brand called St. Mayhem at his Art + Farm winery and is producing Sauvignon Blanc aged on habanero and jalapeño, Chardonnay aged on peach and ginger, and Merlot aged on coffee and jalapeño. They’re currently distributed in 30 states for $25 per bottle and are available in some of the area’s top restaurants and independent retailers, including Café Chardonnay in Palm Beach Gardens and The Wine Wave in Delray Beach.

“I was sitting around one day after work, drinking a coffee-flavored craft beer,” McDonald recalls, “and the light bulb went off. I thought, why can’t we do this with wine?” The Sauvignon Blanc is the best for drinking without food; the heat sneaks up on you and builds gradually, noticeable but not overpowering, complementing the wine’s citrus flavors and mouthwatering acidity. The Chardonnay and Merlot shine with particularly spicy cuisines, such as Thai, Mexican, or Szechuan, where the spices balance the heat in the wine. McDonald is focusing on making small batches because he feels the flavors are more distinctive when fresh.

“People are either very excited or totally disoriented, but the people who like the wines become really exuberant over them,” McDonald says. (artfarm wine.com) —Mark Spivak

The only way to get closer to the water is to walk across A1A and stick your feet in the surf. For Valentine’s Day, the best view is from a love seat on the deck where you can sip a craft cocktail and listen to the waves. If you’re willing to step back a bit from the ocean, retreat to the intimate Hemingway Lounge, located behind the backlit quartz bar, where pictures of Papa complement elegant sofas and large leather armchairs.

At the heart of it all sits the Cocoon Lounge, a romantic refuge separate from the bar and dining room, where couples can relax under a canopy of gnarled vines near the chef’s herb garden.

Nostalgic for lunch at your grandmother’s house? The newly opened Grilled Cheese Gallery, at 430 Northwood Road in West Palm Beach, is taking comfort food to another level.

“We always had grilled cheese and tomato-basil soup on the menu at O-Bo Restaurant and Wine Bar,” says Jeffrey Thompson, owner of both eateries. “I wanted to offer our customers a quick-service concept that was both high quality and affordable.”

A cozy space, GCG opened in November and has been packed ever since. Grandma would be amazed by the sandwich variety and their unique names: The Duchess (fresh lobster and three cheeses), the Steak Melt (hanger steak, cheddar, gruyère, kimchi, and caramelized onions), and meatless delights like The Artist (sautéed shiitake, crimini, and oyster mushrooms combined with Swiss, arugula, and truffle oil). GCG is also doing a brisk business with poutine, the Canadian dish of French fries and gravy that is a staple of the Quebec diet. The fries are enhanced with toppings such as beef short ribs, grilled chicken, hanger steak, and tofu. “I live in Northwood and I’ve watched the neighborhood explode in the last year or two,” Thompson says. “This is a satisfying way for me to be invested in the community.” (561-628-2466) —M.S.

The burning desire for top single-malt Scotch continues unabated

By Mark Spivak

n 2005, when a South Korean businessman paid $75,000 for a bottle of The Macallan 1926, the price was considered outlandish by many. Times certainly have changed. Last year, six liters of The Macallan “M” series sold for $628,000 at a Hong Kong auction. The contents were encased in a hand-blown crystal decanter and constituted the equivalent of eight regular 750-ml bottles, but it was still a hefty sum for a bottle of booze.

Single malts have been hugely popular for at least three decades, outlasting many other spirits trends. Small production accounts for a large part of their appeal, both in terms of rarity and uniqueness of flavor. In the world of spirits, they most closely approximate the wine concept of terroir (the combination of soil, climate, and sunlight that gives grapes their distinctive

character). The Macallan was founded in Speyside in 1824 and is one of the most sought-after single malts, along with the three G’s (Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, and Glenmorangie).

A good introduction to the Macallan range is the 15-Year-Old Fine Oak ($100), aged in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. The inviting nose mingles whiffs of toffee and vanilla with high-toned floral notes. It’s intense yet graceful on the palate, with hints of mocha, citrus, and honey. The finish is long and complex, with a peppery edge.

For a special indulgence, locate a bottle of The Macallan Rare Cask ($300), matured exclusively in first-fill oloroso sherry casks,

although there’s no indication of how long it aged. The nose yields heady aromas of gingerbread, figs, and baking spices. The spirit is just as ripe and rich in the mouth, filled with flavors of spiced fruitcake, chocolate, and nuts. The texture is opulent, almost chewy, and it’s the perfect dram for a cool night.

A picturesque view Most whisky drinkers have their personal favorites, of The Glenrothes distillery, which and the two single malts I would drink before any has been making other are The Dalmore and The Glenrothes.

Like The Macallan, this ry by Clan Mackenzie before being sold to the firm Whyte & maker releases older vintage-dated Mackay in 2001.

A WINNING COMBINATION

for Buyers, Sellers and Agents of Waterfront Properties

by Gregory T. DuBose

Rob Thomson

Nicholas Klein

Susan Turner

“We’ve worked very hard to create a business model that ensures our agents are successful. Our culture is very important and it is very intentional. This remains a people business, but more than ever before this business is driven by the internet.”

–Rob Thomson, Waterfront Properties’ Managing Partner

Waterfront Properties and Club Communities could do business for far less than what it continually invests in agent resources, chiefly internet marketing and company culture.

But, for Waterfront Properties it’s never been just about doing business. It’s about doing business better for buyers, seller and agents.

Waterfront Properties’ investment into internet marketing, including Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Marketing, its numerous company websites and full time internet marketing team of 22 professionals, numbers well into the millions of dollars.

promotion

The investment and its payoff—an unprecedented quantity and quality of buyer and seller leads are significant factors in what sees Waterfront Properties as indisputably the Northern Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast’s dominant luxury real estate company. “Our investment is massive. But it only tells half the story. The real story is what our model does for our agents, and ultimately our buyers and sellers.”

Rob Thomson continued, “The traditional real estate company model of ‘eat what you kill’ is obsolete. Our internet systems and international network enable us to deliver agents a large and consistent flow of qualified buyer leads. Their time isn’t spent pounding the pavement. They’re free to attend to their clients with a concierge level of service.”

Waterfront Properties’ Agent Nicholas Klein states, “Eleven years in this business and I’ve never experienced a company like this. Rob, Joan and all of the Waterfront leadership make certain we know we are valued. You never feel like a number.”

He went on to say, “The leads are an amazing advantage. But, the most surprising thing is the level of support invested in our success. I’ve sent more than a few questions via text after 9:00 at night and received a thoughtful, helpful answer within minutes. This just isn’t how it’s done. Or, so I thought.”

“Successful agents conduct themselves and their business in a way that comes across to our buyers and sellers. They are the professionals people want to work with and who they confidently refer to friends and family.” Thomson continued, “Ultimately, the more we can do for our agents, the more they can do for their buyers and sellers. That’s the cycle of success we’ve intentionally created.” Waterfront’s Jupiter Island specialist, Susan Turner, said it this way, “The total marketing effort is done for the agent, and paid for by the company. I get to do what I do best, sell properties.” Asked what is most surprising about working at Waterfront, Turner gave her own surprising answer. “Lunch. Every day, a catered lunch is provided by the company, with Joan Thomson taking a personal hand in ensuring it’s good and good for us. Crazy.

Right? But, it is a wonderful part of the family atmosphere here.”

Rob Thomson smiled, “Don’t underestimate the power of good

food. There’s a connection that happens naturally over a meal.

Agents share information. It’s no different than any family sitting down to talk about work and life. This is where bonds form.”

Google is not and never has been the blueprint for how Waterfront empowers and retains its agents. But, comparisons are hard to escape. A team of entrepreneurially spirited individuals working closely in a competitive, collaborative and intentionally cohesive group makes for a formidable team.

A group of gifted twenty and thirty-something technology professionals form the core of Waterfront’s buyer lead generation and marketing engines.

And Google is never far from the conversation. “I’ve said it too many times to count. This is as much a technology business as a people business. Most companies today recognize this. But, because we identified this reality early on and made the critical investments in technology and people, we literally set the curve.” Rob Thomson continued, “This is a high stakes arena.

Done incorrectly, companies could invest the same millions of dollars we have and see little or no difference in their agents’ business.”

Why allow the world to see under the roof at Waterfront Properties? Isn’t there some competitive advantage the company’s relinquishing? “The real competition for us is competing to fill our ranks with the best agents in our market.

The best way I know to do this is to tell them there’s a different model. It works. And, if they are ready and flexible enough to do it our way, they can and should join this team.” Thomson said with finality. “Buyers and sellers win. Agents win. We win.

That’s the cycle of success. You can Google it!”

Balance Ladies who golf Brain Game [continued] Before retiring from professional golf in 2008, Annika Sorenstam racked up 90 international tournament wins, including 10 LPGA Major Championships. Below, she shares five tips female golfers can use to swing it like Sorenstam.

Make a compact swing, and always ac•celerate: The closer you get to the green, the greater the urge to manipulate the shot. To beat that urge, make sure you accelerate through impact. Make your follow-through as long as your backswing.

•

Set your tempo: I seldom hit a shot very hard, and I seldom hit one very soft. This is particularly true with my wedges, mainly because I have shots to cover many distances. Never swing your wedges as hard as you can. When you press like that, you risk poor contact and wild shots. To set a tempo, try my 1-2-3 practice swing: Count 1-2-3 as you swing to the top left, then 1-2-3 to the finish. It will keep your speed in check.

•

Begin with a brief warm-up: Hit a few wedges, then some short irons for tempo followed by a couple of drives. Before heading to the course, chip and putt to get a feel for the speed of the greens.

•

Control first-tee jitters: First, take a few deep breaths to calm your nerves. Pick a club you’re comfortable with and confident you can hit. Select a specific target, and use your preshot routine. Then, swing freely.

•

Simple putting tips: Be aggressive. Putts in scrambles are only considered good if they make it to the hole. A nice firm, confident stroke gives you the best chance to make them.

When forensic pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu performed an autopsy on former Pittsburgh Steeler Mike “Iron Mike” Webster, he had no idea who the late NFL center was. Born in eastern Nigeria, Omalu knew nothing about American football, but he did know something was amiss in the 50-year-old’s body. Given his passion for neuropathology, Omalu began studying Webster’s brain. That’s when he discovered something alarming: chronic traumatic encephalopathy, severe brain damage caused by repeated blows to the head.

“It looked very abnormal,” Omalu says. “It was not something I was mentally aware of. I went to the library researching, trying to see if someone else had described it before, and no one else had.”

When Omalu made his discovery public, he was stunned by the backlash he faced from the NFL. At the time and in subsequent years, the league tried to stifle Omalu’s findings, which have now become accepted as fact in the medical and sports spheres.

Omalu continues to bring awareness to CTE, and his efforts have become immortalized in books and in the recent film Concussion, which stars Will Smith as Omalu. On February 16, he will lead a lecture at Florida Atlantic University’s Lifelong Learning Complex in Jupiter. PBI chatted with Omalu about CTE and how the discovery of the disease altered his life. (561-799-8547, fau.edu/llsjupiter)

PBI: What are the causes of CTE? Dr. Omalu: CTE is the disease of the brain you suffer when you’re exposed to any type of blow to your head. It’s not just in football [but also] in motorcycle accidents, in industrial accidents, in child abuse, in assaults. When you suffer brain damage from such a blow, the brain damage is permanent because the brain does not have any reasonable ability to cure itself of any injury. In contact sports— with or without a helmet, with or without a concussion—when you expose your head and your brain to seemingly innocuous blows without any symptoms, over time those blows can cause permanent brain damage that would manifest in a constellation of symptoms, which are progressive.

What are the symptoms of CTE? The symptoms could range from loss of intelligence, loss of judgment, loss of cognitive capacity, inability or diminution in the ability to engage in complex intellectual activity, mood disorders, rampant fluctuations in mood, exaggerated responses to life stresses, drug abuse, alcoholism, suicidal attempts, or suicide.

Where this is very dangerous is you could receive these blows to your head over time without manifest-

&

ing any symptoms whatsoever. But radiologically and neuropsychiatrically, when you’re tested, we could elicit evidence of damage.

Why was it important to you to share your findings with the world?

I came from Nigeria—Nigeria is a very corrupt country. I ran away from corruption and came here just to find out that the NFL was systemically and systematically concealing this fact from the players. The players in retirement were all suffering in obscurity. I found that very painful. I said, ‘Not in America, a country I have so much faith in.’ … Using my education, I wanted to become a voice for the voiceless.

What should people know about CTE? People should be educated and enlightened so when they make the decision to play or not to play, they are making their own decision.

You cannot make football safe; that would be a misappropriation of the facts. … But this is America. People have the freedom to do whatever they want. [And] we should embrace the facts and educate the people.

Specializing in treating the patient as opposed to just the symptoms.

Dr. Becky Campbell

What are the latest developments/innovation in your field?

There are so many amazing tests out there to get to the root cause of the diseases and symptoms from which patients are suffering, including tests for a leaky gut, food sensitivities, gut infections, and adrenal gland dysfunction.

What differentiates your practice from other specialists in the field?

Patients come to me with issues such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, autoimmune disease, fatigue, weight gain, depression, and anxiety. I look to find the root cause of the issue instead of treating the symptoms. I give each person a unique, individualized treatment plan based on what I find from our specialized testing.

What made you become a doctor of natural medicine?

I suffered with symptoms I could not understand for years. I went to countless doctors and got little to no answers. Then I started to research things on my own and finally found a functional/natural medicine doctor who really helped me. I knew that was what I wanted to do for other people, and I’ve been on this journey ever since.

If you’ve been thinking about CoolSculpting....

FDA Cleared SculpSure is the clear choice.

Lose More Fat - Laser is more effective and results in more fat loss than Freezing Fat Tightens Skin - CoolSculpting has no skin tightening effect Get Treated at Lunch - Treatment in a fraction of the time CoolSculpting takes Half the Cost - Superior results cost half as much as CoolSculpting for the same areas

A Giving Account

For a flexible type of giving, realize the power of donor-advised funds

By Judy Martel For the charitably inclined, there are nearly as many ways to give as there are needy causes.

One particular method, the donor-advised fund, is winning popularity because it allows givers to maintain some control over gifts, maximize their charitable investments, and gain an immediate tax benefit. And unlike more sophisticated private foundations that might take months to set up, a DAF can be operational within a few days.

“You can pick the charity you want to support, download the forms on the computer, and literally open an account in a day or two,” says Eileen Heisman, president and CEO of National Philanthropic Trust. “It’s a very flexible giving vehicle.”

A DAF also potentially saves the time and hassle of investigating multiple charities and finding the instructions for donating to each. With a DAF, benefactors donate to the fund and then designate an amount for each particular charity. “The fund does all the grant-making for you,” Heisman says.

The demand for DAFs has opened up an array of choices. Large financial firms such as Fidelity Investments, Vanguard, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and UBS have them, as do universities, community foundations, and other nonprofit charities.

Before you decide if a DAF is right for you, consider these additional features:

1 Tax benefits

One of the reasons donors favor DAFs is for the ability to time their tax deduction without having to lock themselves in to a specific charity, Heisman says. “You get the deduction the year you give the gift to the fund, but you don’t have to pick the charity that year. You can decide on the recipient charities as you go.”

2 Fees

There are generally two fees associated with donor-advised funds, Heisman says. One is an administrative fee, and the other is an investmentmanagement fee. There are also some funds that

Wealth charge an extra fee for the adviser who recommended the fund to a client. Certain investment choices can also cause the fee to climb.

Total fees for a DAF might be as low as 1 percent of the amount invested, but others could be as high as 2 percent, according to Heisman. The average is 1.25 percent to 1.5 percent, she adds.

“It’s important to get transparent information on fees,” Heisman says. “The good news is that companies make it available and easy to understand.”

3 Investments

Donors can typically choose among a menu of investment choices for the fund. A community foundation might have more choices than financial companies such as Vanguard or Fidelity Investments, which will offer their own funds, Heisman says.

Typically, donors can play it safe with investments or choose more risk, which potentially increases the return for the chosen charities. But in all cases, the fund or charity has already approved the options, Heis-

man says, and donors have to stay within the menu.

With hundreds of DAFs on offer, patrons should be able to find one that offers the flexibility to meet their charitable goals. But be a smart consumer and do some homework before investing in any one fund, Heisman advises. “Because of the Internet, we’re much better consumers,” she points out. “We know more and are used to doing research.”

GuideStar (guidestar.org) provides information to help donors compare various funds and charities. Another option is to call the organization directly to ask for additional information. “Get in there, and kick the tires a little,” Heisman says. «

Good Knight

Agenda

After 60 years in the R&B industry, Gladys Knight still has plenty of soul. The Georgia-born songstress co-founded Gladys Knight and the Pips in the early 1950s with her brother and two cousins and went on to record more than 40 albums and countless hit singles, including “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” “Neither One of Us,” and “Midnight Train to Georgia.” When the group disbanded in 1989, the seven-time Grammy Award winner embarked on a wildly successful solo career, was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, and won a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. On February 13, the Empress of Soul will serenade the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce with Motown classics and recent works from her gospel-imbued album, “Where My Heart Belongs.” (772-461-4775, sunrisetheatre.com) —Kerry Shorr

Virtuosic dancing, thunderous drumming, and whirling weaponry join forces when Che Malambo stomps its way to the Kravis Center February 2-3. Malambo, an aggressive Flamenco-style tap dance inspired by the cadence of galloping horses, originated in the earlyseventeenth century as a way for gauchos (South American cowboys) to flaunt their skill, strength, and dexterity. Che Malambo, an all-male, Argentinian dance company directed

by French choreographer Gilles Brinas, brings the fiery gaucho tradition to life through powerful stomping, singing, clapping, bombo drumming, spinning boleadoras (lassos with stones), and more. Tickets cost $32. (561-832-7469, kravis.org) —K.S.

JOHNSON PA L M B E A C H C O U N T Y

HISTORY MUS EUM

Lady LaBelle Gladys Knight might be the Empress of Soul, but Patti LaBelle is its godmother. In her more than 50-year singing career, she’s proved to be more than just a good voice. In addition to earning Grammys, LaBelle has acted on stage and screen, found her rhythm on Dancing with the Stars, and even hosted her own Cooking Channel show, Patti LaBelle’s Place. On February 3, she will put her original talent on display as part of the Kravis Center’s annual gala. The performance is open to the public and tickets start at $35. PBI chatted with LaBelle about her two main passions: singing and cooking. (561-8327469, kravis.org) —Mary Murray

Derek Blanks

PBI: What’s your earliest memory of singing?

LaBelle: It would have been with the Beulah Baptist Church choir when I was, I don’t even know how old—old enough not to be shy anymore.

Before I went to the choir, I would sing around the house with a broom, pretending it was a microphone, and I always sounded decent to myself. When I joined the choir, the choir director made me sing lead instead of singing in the chorus with the background. She said, “You have a lead voice, darlin’. You must go out there and show your voice.”

What are your favorite songs to perform?

I love a lot of them, but I guess the ones that I must sing every night would be “Lady Marmalade” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” But if I sing those songs seven times a week, every time it’s going to be different. You can never say, “She’s going to sing it this way or that way.” I’m never going to do what you expect.

What do you love about cooking?

It’s very cathartic. I love cooking everything: baking, Italian food, soul food. I’m very creative in the kitchen. Every day, I cook. I made breakfast this morning; I’m going to make dinner later. I am just a cooking lady. I cook as well as I sing.

How do your cooking habits change while on tour?

On tour, I take my own pots and pans and I cook in my room. We usually have a suite with a kitchen, and the kitchen does not have the right pots for Patti. So I take my Patti pots on the road with me and I cook for the band and crew in my suite. I can avoid room service like that also.

Stephanie Kantis

lila photo

A well-timed compliment can change someone’s life. When a client offered to buy her handcrafted baubles instead of the sofa she was selling, Stephanie Kantis knew she had a hit on her hands. A successful interior design and home decor entrepreneur for 18 years, the Dallas native moved to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, with her husband to find creative enlightenment in a city known for its Spanish baroque architecture and thriving arts scene.

After mastering the art of bronze jewelry making, she launched her eponymous collection of sculptural, Byzantine-influenced designs in 2011 and quickly developed a devoted following that includes Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon. Today, Kantis is based in Palm Beach and occasionally takes time away from jewelry to support the budding artists at Dreyfoos School of the Arts as well as animal welfare and environmental causes.

Favorite fashion designer Carolina Herrera, because she started out late in life.

Most people don’t know she didn’t start her brand until her 40s.

Favorite Escape I’ve always been inspired by the traditional French chateaus of the Loire Valley.

Now Reading Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff. I gravitate toward strong women and like to learn about their lives and struggles along the way.

Favorite Musician Michael Bublé Best Palm Beach Bite The edamame at Echo. I want to bottle the sauce and put it on everything.

Stress Reliever I love to drive along Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach and see the ocean, even if it is just for a few minutes.

Sartorial Staple I am quite tall, so I usually wear flats. I like classic black Chanel flats or more colorful Prada styles.

Beauty Essentials Rouge Dior lipstick in Trafalgar. I always carry it with me just in case we go directly to dinner after work. It changes up my whole look from office to evening.
