THIS IS US

Creating art and having fun doing it: The “Amy’s World” team crushed it. Shout out to RIOCAM, Katherine Lande, and Gina Simone, who helped bring the vision to life. Page 90.

EPIC ZIMBABWE

One of my favorite spots on the planet, Zimbabwe, is the subject of this month’s “Journeys.” Travel editor Paul Rubio reports on the latest resorts and experiences in this exqui site part of Africa. Page 77.

IN ART WE TRUST

Every November, we celebrate the arts. Part of that is the anticipation of show season, a fresh crop of performances on the stage, and exhibitions galore. The other part is the peo ple whose vision and energy are making Palm Beach County fertile ground for culture.

Amy Phelan is one of those visionaries. She and husband John are among the top col lectors in the country (you’ll see more important art in their homes than in most galleries), and some of the most philanthropic Americans, too. Anyone who was at the amfAR gala last season, when the Phelans entertained 400 AIDS-research donors in their backyard, will attest to their giving nature.

When selecting a cover subject to embody the spirit of the arts, Amy was the natural choice. She’s gorgeous inside and out, and she’s game in a way that excites a photogra pher who’s first and foremost an artist. Amy’s personality came to life in front of the lens of Camilo Rios, aka RIOCAM. Cam is not afraid to experiment and push a few boundaries to tell a story with his images. Thanks to his willing subject, he created artistic vignettes that captured Amy’s energy, authenticity, and sense of humor. That shot of her legs, clad in bedazzled Jimmy Choo boots and sprawled on the floor (page 14)? Legendary. Step in side “Amy’s World” on page 90.

In this issue we also celebrate another art form—ballet. In “Turning Pointe,” fashion editor Katherine Lande styled dancers from Miami City Ballet in looks from the fall col lections that moved beautifully with jumps and pirouettes. Photographer Gabor Jurina nailed the gracefulness of the women and men who work incredibly hard to make the art form look effortless. See for yourself on page 110.

If you have food on the mind—it’s November, after all, the month of shamelessly in dulging—check out “Sweet Harvest” on page 98. The artistry of our local pastry chefs takes center stage as we feature seasonal desserts that almost look too perfect to eat. Almost. Much of this is due to the work of senior art director Ashley Meyer, who styled and photographed the confections in the manner of an Old Master still life. Can an image awaken a craving? I would argue yes.

As we get ready for a season in the arts, I want to shout out these and other incredible artists on my team. We’re small in size but big on passion, and I think it shows in our pages.

Have a great winter, everyone!

MILESTONES

My publisher’s letters have become a bit less frequent over the last three years. COVID brought a “two steps forward, one step back” reality to many things we’ve been doing at Palm Beach Illustrated. Photoshoots, events, cover stories, galas—it seemed like each time we had the details nailed down and Palm Beach was ready to move forward…

But now, we are in a stride. Businesses are booming across Palm Beach County as new residents flock to the area. We have more than 1 million square feet of office space coming out of the ground in downtown West Palm Beach. New residential towers (built just tall enough, thank you very much) have begun to dot the skyline. All the talk in 2021 about a Wall Street South is coming to fruition. Charity events are in full swing, and Palm Beach Illustrated has partnered with many wonderful organi zations doing excellent work for our community.

As I think about the future of the county and this magazine’s place in it, I am most optimistic. In the past, Florida has gotten ahead of itself when boom times arrive. This time, however, our region has struck the right mix of business, new residents, and development to properly balance growth. More than 140 companies and $1.12 billion in investments have moved into the county over the last five years, according to our partners at the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County. We see that trend in each issue as we report and reflect on the lifestyle and social develop ments in the market.

Within our offices, this magazine is midway through a seventieth anniversary year and our Palm Beach Charity Register title is celebrating 30 years of service to the philanthropic community. In 2023, Palm Beach Illustrated will expand its pub lishing frequency to 12 issues for the first time in our history—a reflection of the increase in year-round residents and the expansion of social and business activity across the area.

We look forward to bringing you all that is current, noteworthy, and relevant in the coming year and for many years to come.

Celebrity stylist Julien Farel has left his Park Avenue post for warmer climes. In September, Lotus Hair Studio at Via Flagler became Julien Farel Palm Beach, maintaining the salon’s world-class team led by Reigan Roan-Zapatier while expand ing to accommodate Farel’s three-plus decades of hair expertise. Here, Farel shares three of the hottest hair trends he’s seeing this fall. (julien farel.com) –Skye Sherman

1Hollywood styles. “Opt for sideswept bangs plus bouncy, volumized looks for lunches and evening events. Super-polished looks will remain through the holi days; loose, messy buns should take a break until spring.”

Curtain bangs with a center part. “The curtain bang trend stays strong,” says Farel. “It’s a nice way to freshen up a cut without losing overall length, and [it] puts a nice targeted focus on the eyes.”

True ’70s bangs that highlight cheekbones. “It’s important for these cuts that the bangs do not connect with the rest of the hair—these are very pronounced bangs with no gradual layers.”

THREE LOCAL FEMALE ARTISTS SHARE THEIR CREATIVE PROCESSES AND MORE

BY SKYE SHERMAN

West Palm Beach Neo-Dada artist Cayla Birk crafts a mean fine art series—her eye-grabbing pieces are unapologetically punchy—but she’s perhaps best known locally for her typography murals at 123 Datura, 1909, and Celis Juice Bar. Incorporating secret ciphers and personal phrases, the murals embody an establishment’s spirit.

At Drummond Fine Art in Delray Beach, contem porary mixed-media fiber artist Michelle Drum mond manipulates mul ticolored, multi-weighted yarn and glue to create fiber sculptures on and off painted canvas and wood panels. Textured and imaginative, her works invite you to jump into the world she has dreamt up.

Creative process: “Conception, design, color selection, production. My overall approach to a series is preconceived and meticulous; the only parts done without a plan are my signature designs. At times, I’ll list some important imagery or verbiage I want included, but the majority of the time, it just rhythmically unfolds.”

«

Palm Beach intimate portrait photographer Shannon Griffin asks, “What happens when you become your art?” That’s what she sets out to do with her family and boudoir sessions: capture timeless portraits to be passed down through the generations.

Sources of inspiration: “I’m constantly inspired by other creatives in varying fields, and I’ve always valued seeking new knowledge—in music, literature, food, anything.” (caylabirk.com)

«

2Creative process: “I usually get inspiration or an idea, decide the size of the piece and wood panel, estimate the amount of material I need, then start gluing and sculpting the fibers into a recognizable form. The final colors of the piece are determined by what colored yarn feels and looks right.”

Sources of inspiration: “My biggest sources of inspiration come from my journey in the U.S. as a Jamaican immigrant who initially came here as an international student, my culture that is evident in the effervescent colors and whimsy emanating from my artwork, and current issues revolving around basic needs for survival.” (drummondfineart.com)

Distinctive style: “I photograph women in a natural, non-contrived way, allowing room for them to tell their own stories. It’s a process of self-discovery; for some, it’s the first time they’ve taken that journey.”

Creative process: “The art I create with my clients couldn’t take place if I simply showed up and photographed them. I ask them to be vulnerable and raw with me. Before our discovery call, I have clients fill out an in-depth questionnaire [because] I want to know the ‘why’ behind them coming to me. We do an art and planning consultation, either in their home or over Zoom. … After, I design their vision board, guide them through wardrobe creation and location scout, and present our plan. This all takes place before they ever step foot in front of my camera. By this point I know exactly what they’re envisioning, and we’ve built a beautiful level of trust.” (shannongriffin.com)

CHANEL on

Riviera

There are few things more iconic than in some luxe tweed and a seaside location, and you’re set for season. On November 3, Chanel will present its 2022/23 Cruise collection in Miami, where last year it opened a new boutique designed by architect Peter Marino. The collection is inspired by the lauded lifestyle found along the French Riviera and the iconography that defines Monte Carlo. Think: mornings at sea, afternoons at the racetrack, evenings at the ballet, and late nights in the casino.

Renaissance WOMAN

Annabel Russell may just be “The Most Interesting Woman in South Florida.” Born into a Royal Air Force family in England, she was educated in Vietnam, England, and Malta before studying flamenco in Spain and later becoming a cross-country ski instructor. She has crewed on private yachts and managed a yacht club in the Bahamas. She has a degree in choreology and worked with the Dutch National Ballet. But for the past 17 years, she has dedicated herself to classical music, serving as the executive director of The Symphonia in Boca Raton.

“I come from an arts-rich and culturally engaged family, with relatives who were musicians, composers, conductors, singers, dancers, and artists,” Russell says. “I was also lucky to have freethinking and adventurous parents. I grew up traveling and have lived in many different countries. That kind of lifestyle makes you rich in experience and keeps you open-minded and curious. I’m

always seeking new challenges, so when the opportunity came along to get involved in building an arts organization from the ground up, it was hard to resist.”

Her background in dance provided a natural crossover to her work at The Symphonia, but the give-back component of the organization stems from her passion for sharing the arts. In addition to its free after-school music program with the Boys & Girls Club of Delray Beach, The Symphonia has partnered with local charities like Boca Helping Hands, Lighthouse for the Blind, and the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund to gift free tickets to its concerts. The Symphonia will kick off its 2022-23 season November 13 at Roberts Theater at Saint Andrew’s School in Boca Raton.

“It’s important to use what we have to enhance and benefit our community,” Russell says. “I’m not interested in just playing beautiful concerts and going home. That’s a cup-half-empty kind of feeling.” (thesymphonia.org) —S.S.

ADAPTIVE

REUSE

THE MASTERMINDS BEHIND THE NEW NORA DISTRICT LOOK TO BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO A LONG-OVERLOOKED AREA OF WEST PALM BEACH

BY LINDA MARX

Named for its central location at North Railroad Avenue, the planned Nora District could transform West Palm Beach’s north end. The redevelopment project in two phases targets former industrial buildings, infrastructure and street upgrades, public space enhancements, and future vertical development between Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard and Quadrille Boulevard; the first phase will focus on the adaptive reuse of more than 100,000 square feet of commercial properties. PBI recently spoke with developers Joe Furst of Place Projects in Miami and Ned Grace of NDT Development in West Palm Beach, who are partnering with Wheelock Street Capital on Nora. Furst’s company was critical in developing Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood, and Grace has an extensive financial and business development background in New York and South Florida. Here, the partners discuss their plans for Nora, which breaks ground this fall after five years of planning.

PBI: Why were you attracted to this area of West Palm Beach?

Grace: We see a desire for a new kind of neighborhood in West Palm Beach’s urban core. The migration of so many industry leaders from around the country is adding a demand for new kinds of retail, restaurant, and residential spaces. This area is the missing link to the downtown’s smart growth.

Furst: We will honor architectural preservation and build the Nora District with integrity. With the clearly defined borders of this project, we can control the growth, which will allow for the creation of a confined and highly walkable urban environment where we can merchandise entire streets. It is a unique opportunity to detail main street.

Developers Joe Furst (below left) and Ned Grace (below) have partnered with Wheelock Street Capital on the new Nora District in West Palm Beach.

What’s your vision for Nora?

Furst: The late Tony Goldman, my mentor from Goldman Properties, a national real estate development company where I was formerly managing partner, taught me to “seize the neighborhood.” We want to give Nora a unique sense of place by implementing adaptive reuse, which is repurposing existing structures for new use. By preserving the bones of existing buildings, adding green spaces and other beautification, we will create a boutique urban environment with permanency of character.

What is your idea for a thoughtfully curated, vibrant restaurant and retail district for Nora and its main street? And why will this appeal to the type of cosmopolitan people moving to West Palm Beach?

Grace: We want to create an energized and exciting main street offering unusual food and beverage concepts amid retail, office, fitness, and green space. This will be a complete neighborhood with a coffee shop, all-day cafés, fine dining with chef-driven tenants, and operators from all over the U.S., including five or six concepts from New York City.

Furst: This is singularly the best opportunity in the country. When I started this project with Ned before COVID, West Palm Beach was a secondary market. But now with the growth cycle here regionally and nationally, we are in an exciting era.

Are any artistic interventions planned?

Furst: Nora will be different from what we did for Wynwood. Here we have architecture and

history, which we will preserve and celebrate— not mural art. Nora will be more sophisticated. We will celebrate the facades of the buildings and intertwine art into their design.

The second phase will include the addition of residential density and a variety of commercial spaces including a boutique hotel, correct?

Grace: Yes, and phase two will have the curated commercial environment created on North Railroad Avenue as the primary amenity. Some of phase two will be out as phase one is completed by early 2024. West Palm Beach lacks an authentic boutique urban environment with a cohesive residential and commercial offering. We envision Nora to fill the void.

The developers behind Nora are reimagining existing buildings to create spaces that better suit the needs of the community, including retail concepts, office space, fitness outlets, and food and drink destinations.

SERVING UP FOOD AND FELLOWSHIP TO NEIGHBORS IN NEED IS A THANKSGIVING TRADITION FOR RESTAURATEUR PETRO BIKOS

BY SAM KERRIGAN

If it’s Thanksgiving, Petro Bikos is busy opening his Farmer Girl Restaurant in Lake Worth Beach to feed people who might not otherwise have a warm meal or a place to celebrate the holiday. It’s a fourdecades-old family tradition, says Bikos, who took over the restaurant from his uncle in 2020.

“My uncle stopped doing it because he was getting older; with the amount of time and work it took to put on, it was just too much for him,” he explains. “One of the things I wanted to do was give back to the community and continue what he started all those years ago.”

Last year, Bikos, his staff, and volunteers served 1,000 Thanksgiving meals. “I just see a big need right now,” he says. “Last year, we had customers come from all over—as far south as Miami—who said if it wasn’t for us, they wouldn’t have had a place to go or food to eat.”

This year, Bikos says he’s hoping to dish out 1,200

free meals, including all the Thanksgiving favorites like turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, and pumpkin pie.

“We’re there at 5 in the morning on [Thanksgiving] just to finish what we didn’t get done in the two weeks leading up to the holiday,” Bikos explains. “We don’t open the doors until 11 a.m., but by 9 o’clock there’s already a line wrapped around the building.”

“

THE COMMUNITY TAKES CARE OF US THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE YEAR. THIS IS OUR WAY OF SAYING THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR US.”

It’s a kindness Bikos offers not only to those experiencing homelessness, but to anyone who wants to enjoy a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal with old and new friends. For people who live within a 3-mile radius of the restaurant who can’t leave their homes (or who don’t have access to transportation), volunteers will deliver takeout to their doorstep.

“The most rewarding part is everything that comes together to make this happen, especially when you see how many people are actually in need and how many people we’re able to help,” says Bikos, who also owns The Hideout Kitchen & Café in West Palm Beach. He says as long as he has the resources, he will continue helping local people in need. “The community takes care of us throughout the whole year. This is our way of saying thank you for being there for us.” (farmergirlrestaurantfl.com)

Intro to INTUITIVE EATING

TIPS FOR LETTING GO OF DIETING RULES AND LISTENING TO YOUR BODY

BY IVEY LEIDY PHOTOGRAPHY BY KENT ANDERSON

One of the first things I tell my health coach clients is that everyone is different; what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for the next.

There seems to be a new diet trend every year, and most of us have tried at least one. Some enforce ridiculous rules, like banning beans (one of the healthiest foods on the planet) or certain vegetables and fruits, such as bananas or eggplant. This can lead us to not only judge specific foods as “good” or

“bad,” but also ourselves when we fall short. The more we demonize foods and forbid them, the more it leads to food obsessions and bingeing.

The good news is there is a new trend on the rise: intuitive eating, a radically different “un-diet” that encourages you to listen to your body, trust your hunger cues and cravings, and enjoy food again without the heaviness of rules. Focusing on how certain foods make you feel can be a guide for mindful eating; identifying those that don’t agree with you and those that fuel your body might be the secret to effective weight loss, positive body image, and a healthy relationship with food.

Letting go of rules might feel like a terrifying free fall, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Most of us innately know which foods make us feel our best and when our body truly is hungry—we just need to start listening to ourselves, jump off the roller coaster of dieting, and embrace the joy of eating.

X

HOW TO START EATING INTUITIVELY

OPTIONS: Instead of giving yourself restrictions, give yourself options. When you feel hungry, take a moment to notice your cravings. What is your energy level like? Would fruit for breakfast feel good or does your body need something more substantial like protein-rich eggs?

LISTEN: Just because your friend has lost weight cutting out carbohydrates doesn’t mean that approach will work for you. Each of us has a different metabolism and different nutritional needs. Remember to take note of which foods make you feel good, energized, and fueled and which foods are hard for you to digest and make you feel sluggish. Let these become your individualized “rules.” If you notice beans are hard to digest or if common irritants like corn, soy, dairy, or gluten upset your stomach or cause joint pain, listen to your body’s red flags. Replace dairy, corn, soy, and wheat with alternatives, or consider soaked, sprouted beans that are easier to digest.

KINDNESS: Be kind to yourself. When you stop demonizing food, you give yourself permission to eat. Let’s say you’re craving M&Ms. By allowing yourself to have the M&Ms, you eliminate the feeling of being prisoner to your cravings. And guess what happens? You can have a few M&Ms and move on without eating the entire bag. What a sense of

X relief that provides—and a feeling of

INSIDER’S ZIMBABWE

THE NATION OF ZIMBABWE IS ONE OF AFRICA’S BEST-KEPT SAFARI SECRETS. HERE, WE SHARE EXPERT INSIGHT INTO HOW TO BEST IMMERSE YOURSELF WITHIN THE COUNTRY’S EXTENSIVE NATURAL TREASURES AND SWEEPING CON SERVATION INITIATIVES.

BY PAUL RUBIO

ALTERNATE BETWEEN SAFARI ON LAND AND OVER WATER AT RUCKOMECHI CAMP

Fronted by the Zambezi River, Zimba bwe’s Mana Pools National Park comprises 2,612 square miles of unspoiled mahoganyand baobab-studded forests, river islands, channels, and lakes. This exquisite patch work of woodlands and waterways fosters a riveting safari experience that’s equal parts land and water.

To fully appreciate the duality, stay at Wil derness Safaris’ Ruckomechi Camp, where mornings spent spotting lions and buffalo by Land Rover rival afternoons watching hippos and birds by motorized boat. Float past sunbathing crocodiles, preening bee-

eaters, and boisterous elephants, admiring the undulating mountains of the Rift Valley in the horizon. Ruckomechi’s enviable river front location and prolific ana (acacia) trees also make it a preferred spot for elephants and hippos to feed, sleep, and cavort— meaning the safari often unfolds in camp. One afternoon, I even saw a baby elephant stumble on my terrace, with mom sternly redirecting him shortly thereafter.

In terms of design, the 10-suite, tented camp is unfussy and effortlessly chic, min gling earth-toned wood furnishings with sapphire-hued soft goods. It’s truly an idyllic spot for immersing in the magic of Mana Pools. (wilderness-safaris.com)

EMBRACE BEACH VIBES NEAR EARTH’S LARGEST WATERFALL AT MPALA JENA

Less than 10 miles upstream from Victoria Falls—the largest and arguably most spectacu lar waterfall on the planet—intimate waterfront lodge Mpala Jena beautifully commingles Tulum style and safari sensibility. Situated on a sparkling white-sand beach along the Zambezi, the lodge captures a toes-in-the-sand vibe and boho-chic look more commonly associated with trendy oceanic destinations. An interior color scheme of light blues, creams, and earth tones complements transitional indoor-outdoor spaces defined by unfinished wood, straw, and ropework. Meanwhile, Instagram-perfect swings, hammocks, beanbags, and poolside loungers abound, promoting languid, cocktailfilled afternoons in the sun.

But unlike Tulum, this isn’t just a fabulous beach destination. It’s also a safari experience in the heart of Zambezi National Park, where baboons frolic in the sand and trees, elephants charge through camp, and riotous hippos are

natural deterrents to entering the water. Five swoon-worthy suites channel ultra-luxury un der canvas, each flanked by a massive terrace with a private canopied daybed for connecting with nature and stargazing. The juxtaposition of wildlife and beach is truly surreal.

Of course, the initial draw to Mpala Jena is a visit to Victoria Falls, which can be done by foot, boat, bungee cord, helicopter, and more. However, you’ll soon realize Mpala Jena is a secret slice of wild beachfront heaven that’s far more than a home base for waterfall rapture. (greatplainsconservation.com)

WITNESS ONE OF THE LARGEST WILDLIFE RELOCATIONS IN HISTORY

On the edge of Mana Pools National Park, conservation-led outfit Great Plains and its eponymous foundation have embarked on an ambitious initiative to return a 280,000-acre swathe of former hunting grounds to its natural state, inclusive of the wildlife that once freely roamed the land. In creating Sapi Private Reserve, the visionaries behind Great Plains, Dereck and Beverly Joubert, have transformed a private hunting concession into a protected area with an intimate safari camp, Tembo Plains, at its core. Now Great Plains is in the process of relocating more than 3,000 animals from Savé Valley Conservancy in southern

A visit to Mpala Jena allows guests to experience both Tulum style and safari sensibility in close proximity to the grandeur of Victoria Falls.

Great Plains has embarked on the multiyear Project Rewild Zambezi, which will relocate more than 3,000 animals to Sapi Private Reserve.

LUXURIATE ON THE ZAMBEZI AT TEMBO PLAINS CAMP

Witnessing the rewilding experience is just one aspect of a stay at Tembo Plains Camp. The other is luxuriating on and along the Zambezi River—and unapologetically so. A total of five tented suites, generously spaced apart, boast prime waterfront positions. Each is a hybrid of canvas and stone, alternating between zipped panels, local stone walls, and Zanzibari embellishments like hand-carved wooden doors. Each suite has its own outdoor shower, plunge pool, and viewing deck with loungers and chairs.

Tembo Plains also has the distinction of being the sole Zimbabwean property within the Relais & Châteaux collection. Like others in this es teemed portfolio, its excellence extends to food and wine. Guests can browse the nearly 100 wines in the enormous cellar, trying as many as they’d like, before and after feasting on multicourse gourmet meals.

Leisure activities center on the Zambezi itself. Enjoy sundowners on a sandbank, try your hand at catching the piranha-like tigerfish, float down the river on a scenic cruise, or get closer to river-crossing elephants by canoe. Overall, Tembo Plains Camp presents a more relaxed pace to safari’s traditional “go, go, go” fervor, a chance to simply admire nature and Zimbabwe’s luxury of space instead of obsessing over your wildlife checklist. (greatplainsconservation.com)

Zimbabwe to Sapi, saving them from a governmentproposed cull in the name of wildlife management.

Launched in Summer 2022, the multiyear Project Rewild Zambezi will see more than 400 elephants and other such iconic species as lions, buffalo, painted dogs, and eland transferred to Sapi and the national park (the lack of fences means animals can move freely between the two). Guests at Tembo Plains have the rare chance to observe this massive conservation effort in action, learning how naturalists accomplish such a relocation. This process typically takes several weeks per animal and includes carefully introducing them to their new environment within a shielded paddock, allowing them to assimilate, and then releasing them.

DISCOVER THE ULTIMATE ELEPHANT ENCOUNTER AT LITTLE MAKALOLO

A secret of top bird photographers is shooting from a bird hide or blind, a well-camouflaged shelter that facilitates viewing at close quarters. At Little Makalolo in Hwange National Park, this concept has been upsized—way upsized—to create an equivalent for access to the elephants that frequent a permanent water hole near

camp. The so-called “log pile” (an open-air stickwork structure that fits four to six comfortably) is as close as you’ll ever get to these pachyderms in the wild.

Skilled guides know how to take full advantage of this one-of-akind theater. First, sneak in before the elephants arrive in the early afternoon. Then, watch them drink, bathe, play, and wrestle, all at eye-level, often for hours. Considering about half of Zimbabwe’s elephant population resides in Hwange—a number that currently hovers around 43,000—encounters are typically epic. One day, I lost count at 200.

Back in the Land Rover, anticipate lion sightings aplenty—this is prime real estate for the big cats—and other famed members of The Lion King cast, plus herds of gorgeous sable antelope. The camp itself is comfortable and unpretentious, yet the true luxury here is the wildlife-rich location and immediate animal access. (wilderness-safaris.com) «

Luxe DELUXE

CADILLAC AIMS TO RECLAIM ITS PLACE AS THE “STANDARD OF THE WORLD” WITH THE ALL-ELECTRIC CELESTIQ

BY HOWARD WALKER

Some trumpet fanfare is in order. Perhaps even a rousing rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner by Gaga. An enthusiastic round of applause, at least.

The reason for all this jubilation? Cadillac is making moves to once again become the “standard of the world,” this time with a hand-built, all-electric flagship that’ll start at $300,000.

The all-new Celestiq will be the most expensive, most technically advanced, most exclusive Cadillac ever. How exclusive? When it goes on sale toward the end of next year, it will go head-to-head with the likes of Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Mercedes-Maybach. Fewer than 500 will be built annually.

Cadillac pulled the wraps off a prototype version of its new flagship at a swanky private event during August’s Monterey Car Week in California, to which we got a coveted invite.

General Motors CEO Mary Barra was there to watch the reveal. Lobster was for dinner.

While Cadillac had been teasing the car’s design since mid-summer, nothing prepared us

for the visual drama of gazing at it for the first time. It’s huge, almost as long as a long-wheelbase Escalade ESV. Up front, the styling is influenced by the automaker’s recently launched all-electric Lyriq crossover and dominated by a patterned grille flanked by vertically stacked LED lights. There’s also a clamshell-style hood and a usable “frunk” with luggage space.

Glass is a big feature of the new Celestiq, with a high-lifting, wraparound, all-glass tailgate and a panoramic glass roof made up of

four panels, one above each of the seats. Using SPD (suspended particle device) technology, passengers can lighten or darken their own space at the touch of a button.

The cabin showcases Cadillac’s tech innovations, with a dose of bespoke craftsmanship.

The fascia, for example, boasts a full-width, 55-inch LED display, while the polished-metal, two-spoke steering wheel could have come out of a 1950s Eldorado. There’s also a retro theme with the seats, which, on the prototype,

are trimmed in what looks like trombone-case red velour with red leather side panels. Caddyloving Elvis would have approved.

Things get even more exciting underneath the bodywork. The car will be built on GM’s flexible Ultium EV platform, similar to the one used in the Lyriq and the new electric Hummer. With high-output electric motors on both axles to give all-wheel drive and Ultium battery power possibly as high as 200 kWh, range should be around 300-plus miles, with zeroto-60-mph acceleration in under 3 seconds.

For Cadillac to command such a lofty price tag and have any hope of attracting the attention of customers who might have a RollsRoyce or Bentley on their shopping list, the whole buying experience is going to have to be above and beyond. Which is why Cadillac is spending $81 million to develop a boutique manufacturing facility within its mid-century modern Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, designed by famed Finnish architect Eero Saarinen. It’ll include a commissioning studio where owners can personalize their

Celestiq, picking from a multitude of exterior colors, wood veneers, and leathers.

Of course, the million-dollar question is whether super-luxury sedan buyers will fork over $300,000 and up for a Cadillac instead of an upcoming electric Rolls-Royce Spectre or Bentley EV. It’s not out of the question. Remember that back in 1957 Cadillac sold the hand-built Eldorado Brougham that bristled with groundbreaking technology and cost more than a Rolls.

I think that for many American buyers, there’s a deep-rooted love for Cadillac and a powerful desire for the brand to succeed. Count me among them. «

Going GOZZO

BUILT ON ITALY’S AMALFI COAST, FRATELLI APREA’S HANDCRAFTED CRUISERS ARE NOW AVAILABLE IN THE U.S.

BY HOWARD WALKER

Ah, bella Sorrento. Home of limoncello, gateway to Italy’s spectacular Amalfi Coast, and embarkation point for a quick ferry ride to the romantic island of Capri.

If you have been and are nautically inclined, chances are you’ve stood at the city’s walls and gazed down longingly at the fleet of brightly colored Sorrentino gozzo fishing boats bobbing gently in the harbor. Their design dates back to the nineteenth century, when they used oars and sails for power. Now their broad beams, stout wooden construction, trade mark rounded transoms, and putt-putt engines have become synonymous with aquatic life along the Mediterranean.

In Sorrento, most of the gozzos tied to the docks will likely have been built by the Aprea family at their Fratelli Aprea shipyard in Marina Grande. Founded in 1890 by Cataldo Aprea, the yard is still turning out traditional gozzos for local fisherfolk.

In the late ’90s, however, the Apreas answered the call from families wanting a boat with the same seakeeping gozzo qualities but with a few more creature comforts. Think: a small cabin for post pasta-e-vino napping. The 26foot, tiller-steered Fratelli Aprea 780 was born.

The builder has since expanded its offerings to include a number of handcrafted, fiberglass-hulled cruisers rang ing from a 25-foot center-console dayboat to a luxurious 50-footer. All are custom-built and each is assembled with a single-minded focus on quality and craftsmanship. And all are guaranteed to spin heads, drop jaws, and have onlookers burst into spontaneous applause at their very sight. That tall, beautifully flared bow, the ring of varnished planking around the hull, and that distinctive rounded stern with its oversize teak swim platform—these vessels all but definitively prove the notion that life’s too short to own an ugly boat.

Until now, Fratelli Apreas have only been available to Euro pean boaters. But after a toe-in-the water display at this year’s Palm Beach International Boat Show, the builder decided to bring its bespoke boats to the United States, operating out of a new HQ on Lake Charlevoix in Boyne City, Michigan.

Currently, the U.S. lineup kicks off with the truly gorgeous and family-friendly 25-foot Sorrento 7.50 center console. Featuring wraparound stern seating, a huge foredeck with a giant sunpad, and a compact cabin with a shower, head, and V-berth for overnighting, it’s a masterpiece of space and versatility. And in these days when so many boats look like floating Clorox bottles, the 7.50 is a poster child for la dolce

vita, with its acres of mirrorvarnished mahogany, sparkling stainless steel, and salty teak decks. Power comes from either single or twin 125hp Yanmar diesels—bigger, if you want—pushing the semidisplacement-hulled 7.50 to an 18-knot cruise speed or 22 flat out.

Need more space? Any one of Fratelli Aprea’s trio of 32-footers is perfect for big groups. Take your pick from the center-consoled 32 Open Cruise, the 32 Semi-Cabinatto with its wide foredeck sofa, or the 32 Semi-Cabinatto Hardtop with its protected-fromthe-elements enclosed steering. These all come with twin 320-hp Volvo D4 turbo-diesels on straight shafts that give a 26-knot top speed with 22-knot cruising.

The Aprea family’s latest offering in the U.S. is the Sorrento 36 Hardtop, which made its North American debut at the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The big appeal here are the below-deck accommodations.

There’s a forward master with a walk-around queen bed, a guest cabin with twin stacked bunks, and a drop-down salon table with cushions for an occasional double. With the 36, you can take your pick of Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, or MAN diesel power, with typical twin 590-hp motors giving around 30 knots and easy 24-knot cruising.

The gozzo look won’t be for everyone, nor will the time commitment required to maintain all that varnished teak. But for lovers of classic Italian style, these Fratelli Apreas are unmatched. Plus, outside of Sorrento, there’s no better place to quaff a glass of frosty limoncello. «

AMY’S WORLD glamorous, joyful, wild, wonderful, art-filled

PHILANTHROPIST AMY PHELAN HAS FOUND HERSELF AND HER PURPOSE THROUGH THE ARTS

BY JUDY MARTEL | PHOTOGRAPHY BY RIOCAM

Embellished blazer ($4,190), Alexander McQueen, Saks Fifth Avenue, Palm Beach, saksfifthavenue.com

When Amy Phelan visited artist Marilyn Minter’s New York studio in 2003, she was scouting contemporary works of art to add to her and her husband John’s bud ding collection. But Minter was looking for something too: a muse for her next erotic series.

“I was looking for a woman with full lips,” says Minter.

The stunning Amy fit the bill, and Minter spent a day photographing provocative close-ups of Amy’s mouth dripping with jewels, sometimes covered with dirt. “The shoot was wet, sweaty, and we were shoving jewelry (real, supplied by Amy) into her mouth,” Minter recalls. “If you know my work, you can imagine that it’s very unpleasant being one of my models, but she was such a good sport. I’ve had plenty of people ask, ‘When will this be over?’ She never complained, and I really admired that.”

Not only did the one-day photo shoot produce several works of art, but it ce mented a nearly 20-year friendship. Amy still remembers the modeling experience fondly. “I had so much fun that day,” she says. “John was there too, and we played music and drank wine. It was a great honor to pose for Marilyn.”

That’s the thing about Amy. She’s an astute collector of world-class art and a committed philanthropist, yet she’s ap proachable in a way that makes people instantly want to be her best friend. “She makes everyone feel comfortable,” says Minter. “Her kindness means a lot, and she’s incredibly gracious—the best ver sion of what we think of Southern polite ness. She’s been a loyal supporter of mine since that first day, and she and John have been very good to the art world.”

Indeed they have. Since beginning their collection in 2002, the year they married, they’ve supported art and artists while amassing more than 1,000 works, most of them on display at their residences in Colorado—a home in Aspen and a ranch in Rifle—and in their Palm Beach contem

porary showplace on a lot spanning from the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal.

Designed by architects Christopher Stone and David Fox of StoneFox Archi tecture and Design, the home’s cool, white interior is the perfect backdrop for such artists as Minter, Lisa Yuskavage, Richard Prince, Jenny Holzer, Andy Warhol, Wil lem de Kooning, Jeff Koons, and Damien Hirst. In the entrance, visitors are met with a Jean-Michel Basquiat on one side and a Richard Patterson painting, Blue Mino taur, on the other. The collection is rotated

regularly with pieces in storage. “It’s like curating our own little gallery,” Amy says.

Home is also where Amy and John entertain, on both a large and small scale. As powerhouse players in the charitable world, the couple has chaired huge events in Aspen and Palm Beach. Earlier this year, they welcomed 380 guests to their Palm Beach home and raised a record $5.3 million for amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research.

“Her very first words when we met to discuss the event were that she wanted

is a national council member, and they are both mem bers of the Tate North American Acquisitions Com mittee, the MoMa Contemporary Art Council, and the National Council of the Whitney Museum of American Art. In Palm Beach, they are members of The Society of the Four Arts and the Sailfish Club. Amy is also on the advisory board of Sarah Gavlak’s New Wave Art Wknd.

If this sounds like a lot of work, it is, but Amy goes all in when she commits. And while she shines in the spotlight, she works tirelessly behind the scenes on be half of a cause. “I prefer giving to receiving,” Amy says, adding that she donates both time and money.

“Amy understands philanthropy,” says Clifford. “Words are easy, but Amy and John take action. Amy engages with everyone at events; she’s warm and genuine and people are drawn to that. She takes what she does very seriously, but she has fun doing it.”

As art patrons, Amy and John have befriended many of the artists they’ve supported and believe art should be accessible to everyone. In 2008, after witnessing a family walk away because they couldn’t afford the $25 per-person admission to a New York City museum, John paid the family’s entry fee; he and Amy later launched an endowment providing free admission to the public. “My husband is amazing,” Amy says. “Every thing we do, we do together, but he is something else. With the free admission program, everyone has access to the same level of art.”

But for as much as they’ve provided considerable backing to the arts over the years, Amy feels like she’s learned much in return. “Artists put themselves out there,” she says. “The work they make is so subjective. It’s personal expression, and we should all put our selves out there from time to time because when you do that, you grow.”

to raise the most money for the organization and she wanted it to be a spectacular party for the attendees,” says Kyle Clifford, amfAR’s chief development officer.

“She’s 100 percent committed from start to finish. She and John have been supporters of amfAR for years. For this event, the first in Palm Beach, they not only gave a large donation, they allowed us to use their home, which makes it a lot more personal and shows their commitment to the mission.”

In addition to their own family foundation, the couple serves on a plethora of charitable boards and committees. To name a few, John is the chairman of the board of trustees at the Aspen Art Museum, where Amy

Amy’s journey as an art collector didn’t begin until she met John. Growing up in Dallas in a house with “normal, hardworking people,” her passions were cheerleading and dancing. While in college at Southern Methodist University, she won a coveted spot on the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad from 1991 to 1994, during the peak years of the team’s popularity. “Things were just as exciting as they could be,” she says.

Exile on Jackson Street, a 2004 oil painting by Rich ard Patterson, immortalizes those years and captures all the exuberance and energy of Amy’s personality. Patterson, a native of England, became a friend of John and Amy’s and was enamored with the cheerleading culture, Amy explains. Following the tragic attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, he felt trapped in his

apartment on Jackson Street and used the time to create the huge work, based on one of Amy’s cheerleading trading cards. John gave it to her as a birthday gift.

Before moving to New York, Amy worked as a man agement services and systems engineering consultant in Dallas. In 2000, she met John (co-founder of MSD Capital, the private investment firm for Michael Dell, the founder and CEO of Dell Technologies) on a blind date. The at traction was instant for both. “John’s incredibly smart and funny and he’s the nicest person I know,” Amy says.

Though John had a head start buying art, he owned just a few pieces when the couple began attending

art fairs and visiting galleries together. At first, they bought mostly modern works and “things that were easy to understand,” Amy says. Among their early pur chases were a drawing by Pablo Picasso and a paint ing by Willem de Kooning. That all changed when they came across a Thomas Ruff black-and-white photo of a nude that now hangs in their Palm Beach master bedroom. “It was edgy and sexy,” says Amy. From then on, they began collecting contemporary works, many of them figurative. “I would describe our collection now as sexy, funny, and sometimes a little dark, but always with a sense of humor,” Amy adds.

The couple doesn’t consult an art advisor, instead relying on what piques their interest. “It’s almost like dating; you know you’re attracted to someone instantly,” Amy says. “Art is similar. With some pieces, you get an immediate, visceral response, but other times you have to take it in for a while because the process behind what makes it a work of art is so complex and interesting. You have to take a moment, and maybe you find you can’t stop thinking about it for some reason.”

Nowadays, Amy considers herself a collector rather than a buyer. “Buying and collecting are two different things,” she says. “In the beginning we were buying; it was more of a random activity—you see something you like and you buy it. Collecting is more purpose-driven with a longer-range vision. It’s more of an intention.”

When they have time off, the couple enjoys skiing, hiking, riding bikes, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. Daughter Makenzie, 26, was a studio assistant to their friend, photorealistic painter Richard Phillips, for two years and is now a full-time art history and psychology student at The New School in New York City.

Palm Beach, where the Phelans hunkered down during the pandemic, is becoming more attractive to art lovers, especially with so many galleries opening to cater to the post-COVID population boom, says Amy. “There have always been amazing art collec tions in Palm Beach, but it wasn’t on anyone’s radar. It’s so exciting to see what’s happening here.”

No matter where they are and despite all the causes she and John support, cultivating her relationships with family and friends will always be Amy’s top priority. “Life is all about experiences and being with people we care about, and if we can do both at the same time, that’s the best,” she says. “I’m super grate ful for all of those things and my amazing husband, who opened this world for me.” «

A duet of cakes with edible, pressed, and hand-piped florals recalls fields of fall-blooming wildflowers. Beneath the perfectly smooth buttercream—crafted using Earth & Sugar’s signature technique—is pumpkin cake with salted caramel buttercream and chopped pecans. The macaron cupcakes upgrade the classic confection with a dusty rose–toned, multipiped buttercream and French macarons filled with vanilla bean ganache. (earthandsugar.com)

Beautifully adorned with lifelike buttercream flowers, the spice cupcakes are fragrant with cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg, just in time for fall. (IG: @dulze_pastries)

Bashar Al Shamali, the Four Seasons Resort’s executive pastry chef, challenges himself every season to push the boundaries of conventional pastry. This fall, he has created a poached Bosc pear with spiced Dulcey chocolate mousse and speculoos almond shortbread. The fragrant pear, soaked with star anise, cinnamon, and clove, and combined with the spiced chocolate mousse and crunchy almond crust, delivers a symphony of textures and autumn flavors.

Nothing says fall quite like orchard fruit. Beacon’s executive pastry chef, Jenniffer Woo, was inspired by the fall harvest to create The Autumn Pear, a poached Bosc pear with notes of Riesling, vanilla bean, cinnamon, and ginger. The fruit is accompanied by a hazelnut and praline cream, cardamom compressed pear, and a cinnamon tuile cookie “leaf.” (thebeaconjupiter.com)

When fall draws near, Stacy Paret has visions of tarts dancing in her head. These two beauties—a salted caramel pumpkin tart and a blackberry orange churro tart—are perfect examples. “Our salted caramel pumpkin tart is an autumnal indulgence,” she says of the sweet and savory dessert with house-made salted caramel and roasted pumpkin in a buttery pecan shortbread crust. Its fruit-filled counterpart is lush with berries and orange zest, and topped with loads of cinnamon sugar for a sweet and crunchy surprise. (sweetstacyspalmbeach.com) «

THANKSGIVING

Korinne and D.J. Belock open their historic El Cid home for a Friendsgiving feast

BY LINDA MARX

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JERRY RABINOWITZ

Growing up in the small community of East Bernard, Texas, shaped the trajectory of Korinne Belock’s life. Many residents were Czech immigrants, including Korinne’s family who came from the country’s historic Moravia land. She remembers Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations rooted in their native culture.

“Grandma had no fine china, but she always displayed fresh vegetables in the middle of the table and arranged fruit,” recalls Korinne, now co-owner with her husband, D.J. Belock, of Palm Beach Regency, a vintage furniture and home accessories retailer with a 5,000-square-foot showroom in Lake Park. “We had lots of fish with all kinds of other food and liquor. It was simple, all about family and bringing fun and celebration to the people you love. My overall style today reflects that upbringing.”

After graduating from the University of Texas with a bachelor’s degree in communications, Korinne moved to Washington, D.C., to work in politics. She served as a lobbyist for a Texas-based consulting firm before relocating to Manhattan to work with Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2003.

Outgoing, organized, and detail-oriented, Korinne was a natural fit for politics, embracing her

chosen field—and its long hours—with dedication and unrelenting passion. She worked in the White House from 2007 to 2008 but re turned to the Big Apple in 2009 when Bloomberg ran for a third term as mayor.

By then, she was dating D.J., whom she had met in 2004. An experi enced finance professional with a background in investment banking for the real estate, hospitality, and leisure sectors, he organized merg ers and analyzed capital markets while working for a variety of com panies, including Goldman Sachs, Phillips Edison, and Bear Stearns.

While living in New York, the couple began hosting annual

“Friendsgiving” celebrations between Thanksgiving (which they usu ally spent in Anguilla) and Christmas.

“When we lived and worked in New York, our friends became our family,” says D.J., whose childhood entertaining memories were more traditional and “less rowdy” than Korinne’s. “We were all young pro fessionals busy with work. So, when the holidays rolled around, [we realized] we hadn’t seen them. That was how Friendsgiving was born.”

After helping Bloomberg win reelection in 2009, Korinne was ex hausted. She and D.J. were married the following year in Anguilla, and Korinne credits her husband with helping her take the leap into a new career. “I needed a change, and he gave me the grit that it takes to start my own business,” she says.

From there, Korinne launched Urban Simplicity, an organizing com pany with operations in New York and later Palm Beach. She led all business operations and managed teams of organizers on high-profile projects. In 2017, when the institutional private equity firm Sterling Organization recruited D.J. to serve as chief financial officer, the cou ple relocated to Palm Beach.

Two years later, they bought a 1920s Spanish-style home in West Palm Beach’s El Cid neighborhood and mounted renovations. They kept the old details, including the Miami-Dade pine floors and pecky cypress front door, while adding a loggia and an outdoor bar. “Our

house has a vintage feeling, which is cozy and warm,” D.J. says.

Their interest in vintage furniture was a combined result of the pandemic keeping Korinne from traveling for Urban Simplicity and the need to furnish their new house. She prepared a business plan for a vintage clothing company, but while she was buying furniture for the house, she became interested in vintage furnishings.

“I bought half of what we needed from Palm Beach Regency,” Korinne explains. “When I told the owners of our interest in buying the company, which was primarily an online shop, they offered to sell, and we closed in March 2021.”

Now Korinne and D.J. have left their other ventures and joined forces to operate Palm Beach Regency. As an online and retail resource for vintage items, the company offers furnishings made of faux bamboo, rattan, wicker, Lucite, shells, and more. They are busy six or seven days a week and have plans for expansion, Korinne notes.

When the couple hosted a recent West Palm Beach version of their Friendsgiving feast with a vintage theme combined with Anguilla’s Caribbean flair, it gave them the opportunity to open their renovated home. It also offered

“Our house has a vintage feeling, which is cozy and warm.”

Korinne a showcase for the hosting skills she learned while growing up in Texas.

“D.J. and I use what is special from our childhoods, yet we create a carefree way of organizing and entertaining,” says Korinne. “We love casual and coastal.”

Seven local friends, including Korinne’s former White House colleague Nic Breeding, who now lives in West Palm Beach and brought his Yorkie named Rowan, were escorted out to the backyard loggia bar facing the pool. They were offered D.J.’s Pyrat Rum Punch, a dark rum once distilled in Anguilla, which the couple served in vintage glassware from Palm Beach Regency.

“Korinne takes a touch of her past and sprinkles it with whimsy and her Bohemian spunkiness, which makes any occasion fun,”

says Breeding, who was dressed in seersucker to match Rowan’s tie. “Entertaining is very natural for her.”

Guests later moved into the dining room, sitting down to dinner at a custom teal-andwhite-striped dining table (called the Sipsey and designed by Erika McPherson Powell’s Urban Grace Goods) that doubles as a Ping-Pong table. A tropical canopy was situated over the table, which was enhanced with appointments from Palm Beach Regency, including vintage brass palm and pineapple candlesticks, brass pineapples, and natural shells. The entire scene was bursting with harvest-hued florals by Ty Austin of Austintatious Designs.

“Korinne wanted a modern, tropical, island feel based on her Thanksgivings often spent in the Caribbean,” says Austin. “We used native flowers, plants, and fruits [to create] a natural visual experience showing the beauty around us in South Florida.”

He mixed and matched free spirit roses, mango mini calla, and pink tulip anthurium with waterfall orchids, echeveria, banksia, guzmania, chandelier-robellini palm, teepee palm, areca, pineapples, blood oranges, papaya, and sticky finger bananas. A few feet away stood Korinne’s favorite pink Christmas tree, which she displays year-round at the showroom but often brings home for the winter holidays. For Thanksgiving, she decorated it with fresh palms and florals as well as ornaments she made during the pandemic using nail polish to create a marbling effect.

At guests’ place settings, honey-colored linen runners gave way to vintage tableware, including Caribbeanblue water glasses, faux-cane chargers, glass scallop dinner plates, and gold-plated faux-bamboo flatware. Also on the table were natural-shell bread plates, a golden amber cake stand, monkey pod serving dishes, shell dishware on natural-shell trivets, and teal Irish pottery candlesticks.

“Korinne is so colorful and creative,” says guest Sarah Bray-West, owner of her namesake hat and handbag company. “The house is gorgeous—a magical world filled

with delightful treasures. And she is over-the-top with these tropical florals.”

Korinne crafted the menu with help from private chef Dan Gasperi. They prepared a meal that reflected the cou ple’s favorite childhood holiday dishes infused with a Caribbean twist.

“With traditional vintage dishes, it’s more about understatement and focus ing on good flavor and less about a fan cy presentation,” says Gasperi. “We kept things simple but still delicious.”

Guests feasted on Calypso pork, an island interpretation of a holiday dish from Korinne’s childhood; rice and peas, which the couple often has in An guilla; brown-sugar-glazed green bean bundles wrapped in bacon, from D.J.’s childhood Thanks givings; truffle sweet potatoes with toasted coconut, a take on Korinne’s family sweet potatoes; cranberry relish from D.J.’s youth, with mango added for Florida flair; sweet plantains, which are perfect with pork; and Johnnycakes, a Caribbean alternative to dinner rolls. Dessert included Ko rinne’s mother Patsy’s rum cake and mango key lime tarts.

For Korinne, D.J., and their guests, this Friendsgiving was an evening of joy, togetherness, and good food. “Too much rum cake and wine are better than not enough,” Ko rinne says with a laugh. “We hosted a Friendsgiving that was all about bringing together the people we love. It was simple and rooted in old school, yet we are a young gen eration creating our own traditions.”

BOLD FLAVORS, COOL COCKTAILS, AND LOCAL FAVORITES

Autumn in Italy is magical for many reasons. In the forests of Umbria, Tuscany, Abruzzo, and Piedmont, for example, the weather becomes favorable for growing one of the world’s most prized ingredients: white truffles. Clouds move in. Rain and early snows moisten the soil. Chestnut trees shed their leaves, creating a cover on the ground in which these culinary diamonds thrive.

Thankfully, Palm Beachers have access to these gems in the form of Maurizio Ciminella and Amici Market. Starting in late October, Ciminella is typically able to source fresh white truffles directly from his small cadre of Italian importers. They’re available until January or so, depending on conditions overseas.

“The demand is high, and the supply is not that big,” says Ciminella. “In the wintertime, ev eryone wants the white truffles. That’s when you

get the best flavored ones, the most complicated, the biggest size.”

Because Italian white truffle prices are set on Mondays, Ciminella takes delivery between Tuesday and Friday. He advises anyone interest ed to call ahead with their order. The individual truffles can range in size from half an ounce up ward of 11 to 14 ounces. Ciminella refers to these larger showpiece truffles as “pearls,” and they’re priced accordingly.

Amici Market also carries a variety of truffle products, including powder, butter, olive oil, and pre-shaved truffle under oil. If you’re enjoying fresh white truffles, however, Ciminella says a simple preparation is best. “A little thin slice and it touches a hot dish—it can be a pasta, a rice dish, a meat dish—the moment that it touches that, it comes alive.” (amicimarket.com) –Mary Murray

RODNEY MAYO’S DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT GROUP IS ENHANCING CURRENT OFFERINGS AND EXPANDING ITS PORTFOLIO

BY SKYE SHERMAN

Few locals have done more to bring the creative fringe main stream than Rodney Mayo, own er of Subculture Group, which operates more than 20 dining and entertainment establishments across South Florida. It all started 35 years ago with Respectable Street, a bar and venue for “the music that doesn’t get played anywhere else.”

“I went to film school in California and got introduced to the punk new wave scene,” Mayo shares. “When I left school and came back here, it was just nowhere; I’d have to drive down to Miami to a hole-in-the-wall club to listen to any of that.”

This summer, Mayo introduced an on-street station called Subculture Radio, an idea he got from the 1989 Spike Lee film Do the Right Thing. With speakers on the street, listeners can pull up a chair, watch the recording live, and interact with the DJs and podcast hosts. “When I did some investigation, that was a very common thing in the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s [to have] Main Street radio stations that played to the sidewalk,” says Mayo. “When we started closing the 500 Block on weekends, it seemed like the perfect area to do it, so we carved out a radio station in the front of Respectables.”

When it comes to Subculture’s res taurant offerings, the group is debuting six new spots in six months. Aside from more Subculture Coffee locations (a

Palm Beach Gardens outpost opened in September and the new Delray Subculture is coming soon), they’re also reorganizing. The Kapow Noodle Bar at Boca Raton’s Mizner Park has moved across the plaza and quadrupled in size; Penelope, a French New Orleans–style restaurant and cocktail lounge, will take its place. Also at Mizner Park, the former home of Dubliner Irish Pub will become Shaker and Pie, serving Neapolitan piz zas and cocktails.

But Boca’s not getting all the action. At the former C.W.S. Bar + Kitchen space in Lake Worth Beach, Man Ray— named for the major contributor to the Dada art movement—will be similar to Delray Beach’s Dada. Expect an eclectic, chef-driven menu. “It has a big outdoor patio, so we’ll do a lot of enter tainment there as well,” Mayo adds.

The addition Mayo is perhaps most excited about is ’Ve, a vegan eatery opening next to Subculture on Clematis. Mayo tweaked the concept for over a year and tried multiple chefs before nail ing it. “I’ve always wanted to do a vegan spot but had a really hard time getting the right concept,” he says. Guided by the Hippocratic principle to “let food be thy medicine,” ’Ve will bring animal-free eats to a population craving more plantbased options. (sub-culture.org)

SIP WITH PBI

MULL IT OVER

WITH A FEW TWEAKS, SPICED WINE IS PERFECT FOR FESTIVE FLORIDIAN FETES

BY JULES ARON

The fi rst documented consumption of mulled wine dates as far back as ancient Egypt, when spiced wine was used for medicinal purposes and considered to be an elixir of the afterlife. Typically made with red wine, this robust drink is now a favorite during the holiday season and into the colder months.

Considering our mild temperatures, I’ve brightened up this classic concoction by switching out the red wine for a lighter white wine. Notes of citrus, ginger, and vanilla also serve to warm and uplift. Finally, the crimson pomegranate seeds add a burst of familiar holiday fl avor to this delightful sipper.

Mulled Mystic Ingredients (makes about 1 quart)

3 whole cloves

Zest from 1 small lemon

1 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled

1/2 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise and seeds scraped out

1 750-ml bottle medium-bodied dry white wine

1/4 cup fresh pineapple juice

1/4 cup elderflower liqueur

Extra lemon twists and pomegranate seeds for garnish

Stick the cloves into the strips of lemon zest. In a mediumsize, nonreactive saucepan, combine the ginger, vanilla bean (both the pod and seeds), and about 2/3 of the lemon zest strips, including the clove-studded pieces, and cover partially. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until fragrant and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and pineapple juice, cover partially, and simmer until the wine is infused, at least an hour (do not allow to boil). Remove from heat and discard the ginger, vanilla bean, cloves, and lemon peel. Add the elderflower liqueur. Stir well and serve in a heat-tempered wineglass or glass mug, garnished with lemon twists and pomegranate seeds.

It’s doable.

HOME

FROM CITY TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

DESIGN

COMFORT AND JOY

With their kids grown, clients of designer Lisa Michael of Lisa Michael Interiors sold their large home in Wellington and decided to split their time between a second residence in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, and this luxury four-story town house in Boynton Beach. While the couple’s stated intention was modern, Michael quickly recognized that they truly resonated with more of an eclectic coastal aesthetic. She brought that mindset to the homeowners’ primary outdoor area: a private rooftop terrace with gorgeous water views.

The seating area was built around the fire table, which was a must-have for the clients. Just as she had in the interior, Michael utilized layered and textural components to create a comfortable and visually dynamic space. These elements also serve to soften the architecture’s masculinity.

“The rooftop has a modern zen, organic, cozy vibe,” Michael says. “The use of natural concrete for the table combined with the woven furniture pieces and patterned outdoor fabrics really complement the architecture of the exterior but lend a softness to the abundance of hardscape. The feel is that of a resort you might find in an exotic locale like Bali.” (lisamichaelinteriors.com) –Liza Grant Smith

DREAM IN COLOR

USE THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOR TO CREATE A MOOD-INDUCING ROOM AT HOME

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

The color blue has become the little black dress of coastal design—a proven go-to that always delivers. Just like its wardrobe equivalent, blue is flattering to all shapes and sizes of interiors, can be dressed up or down depending on how it is styled, and creates a timeless look. More than that, blue evokes feelings of calm, peace, and serenity. But blue is not alone in generating a psychological response. Color psychology purports that all colors trigger emotions and can be used to create a certain atmospheric mood. With that in mind, perhaps it’s time to stop only singing the blues and discover what melodies other colors can compose.

Green

Evocative of nature, the color green helps reduce anxiety and balances the mind and mood. Similar to the proven benefits of spending time outdoors, green reinforces feelings of restoration, well-being, and peacefulness. Green’s calming effect may be due to the fact that the color lies in the middle of the visible spectrum, meaning the human eye sees it better than any other color. With less strain to perceive the color, our nervous system relaxes when processing it. As an added bonus, studies have shown that green allows us to think more creatively and enhances cognitive performance.

Purple

A hybrid of cool, calming blue and warm, energizing red, purple can have very different effects based on its shade. Purple in its darkest tones, such as a deep plum, is sophisticated, rich, and dramatic. In contrast, lighter hues like lavender can be restful, cozy, and sometimes lighthearted. Purple is the color of an introvert, used to encourage creativity and contemplation, and communicate luxury.

HOW TO USE IT:

Softer purples can add a welcoming and friendly vibe to a hallway, an entry area, or even a communal space like a living room. Deeper purple can be used as an accent or main design attraction to elevate a space with richness or add drama to an architecturally simple room.

HOW TO USE IT:

Green is well-suited for virtually every space in a home. This is one color to consider going all-in on with regard to the amount used and the variety of shades combined. Given its cognitive boost, consider it for a home office.

Yeow

Yellow is an energizing color linked to feelings of happiness, optimism, and spontaneity. Studies have shown that the vibrant hue can also increase mental activity and muscle energy. The key to capturing its positive and uplifting nature is choosing a yellow that is not too bright (which can spark agitation) or too dull (which can cause feelings of illness).

HOW TO USE IT:

Yellow works as a sun substitute in spaces that have a lack of natural light and looks good in a kitchen or bathroom. However, yellow is a mercurial beast. Too much yellow exposure can lead to loss of focus, forgetfulness, and may even overstimulate the brain. For maximum positive impact, try yellow in small doses, such as well-chosen accessories or statement furniture pieces.

/ PAOLA QUEVEDO SANTOS

Studies have shown that pink can have a calming effect on the nerves and inspire feelings of warmth and comfort. Pink walls radiate a subtle glow that flatters both people and furnishings, making them appear brighter. In recent years, pink’s popularity has skyrocketed with the birth of—and subsequent obsession with—“millennial pink,” a gender-neutral family of colors that includes everything from pinkish beige to muted salmon.

HOW TO USE IT:

Given its calming properties, pink is a welcome addition to bedrooms, whether on walls or in bedding and decorative accents. However, it can also add glamour to a dining or living room when thoughtfully incorporated. Or consider it for a primary bathroom: Not only will you be relaxed while getting ready for the day, but its glow will mean you look great while doing so.

Prolific PARKER

MODERNIST ALFRED BROWNING PARKER HELPED TO DEFINE SOUTH FLORIDA ARCHITECTURE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

BY MARIE PENNY

Alfred Browning Parker (1916-2011) is best known for his tropical, organic, modern residences in Miami. However, among his 6,000 projects, several were located in Palm Beach. One of Parker’s design principles was to “let your building love its site and glorify its climate.” A graduate of the University of Florida who also did postgraduate work in Sweden and Mexico, Parker was deeply attuned to the effect that great architecture has on its inhabitants. He sought to design buildings with minimal impact to the environment and a rooting in regional context. His work is sometimes compared to that of Frank Lloyd Wright, who recommended him as an American Institute of Architects fellow for his outstanding contributions to architecture in 1959. Parker’s designs in Palm Beach are no longer extant, but his work can be

found nearby at the Fread Sanctuary at Temple Beth El in West Palm Beach and Quail High, a residence in Village of Golf. Here, we spotlight three former Parker residences that exemplified his unique style.

X

1. COHEN RESIDENCE, 1956

Designed for Abe Leo Cohen, this North Lake Way home featured Parker’s distinctive flat overhanging roof planes and horizontal cypress boards. Artist Eugene Masselink (a personal secretary and apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright) created a built-in mural for the entrance foyer; working in an abstract expressionist style, Masselink reduced South Florida foliage to an assemblage of geometric shapes. Though the house was demolished, the mural was saved and is part of the Wright archives.

2. MANUS RESIDENCE, 1960

The Allan and Adele Manus house on Wells

Road also had long overhanging roof planes, constructed of castconcrete. Other elegant materials included travertine marble, Honduran mahogany, and jade green roof tiles. The structure appeared monumental, while still honoring the human scale.

3. SOUTH OCEAN BOULEVARD RESIDENCE, 1982

Later in Parker’s career he designed speculative homes for developer Michael Burrows, one built and one unrealized for the Blossom Estate development. The large house had a vaulted ceiling lined with Honduran mahogany, and many of the rooms opened to the loggia and gardens.

Growth Opportunity

Lake Worth–based Fruitful Society

Mushrooms is putting the fun in fungi with their “Grow Your Own” pink oys ter and lion’s mane mushroom kits.

The company was born when biology and neuroscience doctoral student Casey Spencer partnered with his father, an electrical and mechanical engineer, to cultivate specialty mush rooms. This labor-intensive agriculture practice requires growers to work with sterilized substrates in a laboratory setting. The team (which now includes partner Kiernan Dugan) sells their mushrooms to local restaurants and their fresh, dried, and processed mush rooms as well as prepared dishes (lion’s mane ceviche, anyone?) at farmers markets including Coco Market Delray.

The grow-your-own kits remove the academic prerequisites from the process. According to Spencer, simply pour water into the growth chamber, cut the mushroom bag open, and close the lid. After about three to four days, you will start to see mushroom growth. With the pink oyster mushrooms— which are thought to promote a healthy heart and immune system, aid blood sugar control, and provide antioxidant benefits—you can expect to harvest mushrooms between five and seven days later. After the first harvest, an other mushroom should start growing out of the same hole roughly one week later. (fruitfulsocietymushrooms.com)

THE TOTAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE SPA AT PGA NATIONAL RESORT BRINGS BIG-CITY VIBES TO PALM BEACH GARDENS

BY KRISTEN DESMOND LEFEVRE

It’s been a local favorite for decades, but after undergoing a complete overhaul (to the tune of $100 million), The Spa at PGA National Resort has been transformed into a next-level zen retreat, offering bespoke services and treat ments for total mind and body relaxation.

The luxe-organic vibe of the 40,000square-foot facility—awash in tones of sandy whites and peaceful pinks—was the vision of the team at V Starr, a design firm owned by Venus Williams. Inside, the spa boasts 29 treatment rooms, a Himalayan salt room, a steam room, and a sauna, among other amenities. Outdoors, guests can float their troubles away in a trio of mineral pools enhanced with healing salts from France, Israel, and Turkey.

The updated spa menu includes services aimed at helping guests achieve balance. Integral Living offerings target body, mind, and spirit. Try the Watsu Therapy, which invites you to relax in a warm mineral pool as a therapist gently moves and stretches your body. Or opt for the Thai Massage, with compression and passive stretching techniques performed on a Thai mat.

The spa’s Healing Salt Therapy options include a Himalayan Salt Stone Treatment that releases stress, as well as Salt Immersion Therapy featuring a dry-stone exfoliation and salt scrub. For guests in need of Touch Therapy, highlights include the Lomi Lomi Massage that harnesses Hawaiian techniques enhanced with pineapple oil. For skin needs, the Seafoam Body Wrap and Sea Scrub Body Exfoliation are can’t-miss treatments. Finally, the spa boasts a variety of nourishing and restorative facials including HydraFacial favorites like the Gold Treatment Facial and the Just Beauty CBD Facial.

The opening of the 25,000-square-foot REI Co-op in Palm Beach Gardens this summer marked another win for members of the local outdoor community who embrace active lifestyles. In addition to the wide assortment of top-quality outdoor gear and apparel for hiking, camping, paddling, cycling, running, and fitness, the store also features a specialty bike shop staffed with certified mechanics to tune or repair equipment. While everyone is welcome to shop at REI, members enjoy benefits like the opportunity to buy and trade used gear; 10 percent back on eligible purchases and up to 33 percent off gear rentals; member pricing on experiences such as classes, day trips, and nationwide adventures; and free flat tire repairs for bikes and machine wax for boards and skis. The new location joins the Boca Raton REI as a premier Palm Beach County equipment destination for adventurers. (rei.com) —L.G.S.

Kids at PLAY

When Loren Klein relocated to Palm Beach from New York City, she asked herself an important and encompassing question: “What’s next?”

In addition to being a mother of three, Klein is a teacher and social worker who started her career in the Teach for America program, working with students with and without disabilities in the South Bronx. Above all, she knew she wanted to continue in early childhood education and parent outreach. Last month, she launched Zen Hippo, a collective that offers wellness and mindful play programs for babies, toddlers, caregivers, and parents.

Zen Hippo hosts weekly classes at the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach’s Pan’s Garden and the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens in West Palm Beach. Topics range from Nature Sense, where little ones engage with the world around

them, to Sunshine Yoga, music classes, and a Talking with Tata communication class for babies 4 to 12 months. In all of these, parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate alongside their kids.

“At this age, 0 to 3, parents are the best teachers,” says Klein. “Kids are most bonded and attached to their parents, so when they see their parents participating, whether it’s singing a song or sitting cross-legged on the floor with them, that’s when they feel safe to explore.”

These programs are available as a 10-class semester, with registration for classes starting in January opening in late November.

Zen Hippo also offers private groups, drop-in classes in baby massage and building skills, and monthly talks at Pan’s Garden on child development, parenting, and maternal wellness. The next ones are “The Fourth Trimester” November 14 and “Conscious Parenting” December 5.

“We really want people to make community here,” Klein adds. “The talks are very much about giving people access to critical information, but also giving them a chance to connect with community.” (wearezenhippo. com) –Mary Murray

PICTURE OF HEALTH

In light of World Pancreatic Can cer Day on November 17, there is no better time to herald the strides one local hospital has made in regards to this difficult to diagnose and treat disease.

Jupiter Medical Center recent ly announced that, after a rigorous audit review, it has been nationally recognized as an approved NPF Center of Excellence for Pancreas Cancer by the National Pancreas Foundation. Only 77 Centers of Excellence, which focus on the multidisciplinary treatment of pancreatic cancer by treating the “whole patient” with a goal of the best possible outcomes and an

improved quality of life, exist nationwide.

This news follows JMC’s an nouncement of a new Surgical Institute (to open in 2023) and a partnership with UF Health to advance their complementary missions of providing the best in academic and community medi cines. Among other advantages, this partnership could open up fast access to an array of clinical trials.

“Access to specialists in the field of pancreatic cancer is one of the limitations to an accurate diagno sis, personalized work-up, and compassionate expert care,” says Dr. Shanel Bhagwandin, medical

director of the National Pancreas Foundation Pancreatic Cancer Program at JMC. “As a world-class health care center, Jupiter Medi cal Center continues to expand its technology, capacity, and partner ships to ensure greater accessibility to patients who need our expertise. Paired with our exciting expansion news, we know we will continue to increase our ability to care for more patients in our region and beyond.” (jupitermed.com) –L.G.S.

Pillow TALK

Nora Boyd learned the hard way that depriving your self of sleep for professional advancement can come with serious consequences. Her hectic, 24/7 lifestyle led to Boyd having a stroke in her early 30s. Despite doc tors saying she was in “perfect” health, she still strug gled with sleep throughout her intense recovery and for years after. Boyd realized that insufficient sleep was a broader problem and decided to develop a solution.

“I was shocked how often people mentioned being let down by their cloudlike pillows,” Boyd says. “Fluffy pillows might make interior design look dreamy, yet they do little to nothing to support our head, neck, and shoulders and encourage the deep sleep we need.”

Hullwinkle, her Palm Beach Gardens–based company, debuted an all-naturally weighted, firm, buckwheat pillow that offers uncompromised support and eco-friendliness. Thanks to a patent-pending chambered construction, the pillow contours to each user for spinal alignment and restorative sleep. And, in contrast to mainstream alternatives made from petroleum-derived plastics, when it’s time to retire your Hullwinkle pillow, you can put the buckwheat hulls in your home garden, yard, or planter where they will nourish the soil.

EXPERT RESULTS

Before After WHAT ATTRACTS PATIENTS TO SEEK OUT ENNIS PLASTIC SURGERY OVER OTHER PRACTICES IN SOUTH FLORIDA?

We are very fortunate to have clients from all over the world coming to see us in Boca Raton. With a team of professional and caring employees, our practice differentiates itself from the rest in that it offers an expert husband-and-wife team working together to achieve results.

IS THERE A SPECIALTY THAT DRAWS THEM?

The majority of our patients who travel to our practice in Boca Raton do so for our facial work and the very natural results we always aim to achieve. As the face ages it loses muscle elasticity, which affects the appearance of the skin, thus the misconception that lines and wrinkles are only ‘skin deep.’ By addressing the muscle underneath, we achieve a beautifully refreshed and natural result.

ARE THERE OTHER PROCEDURES YOU ARE RENOWNED FOR?

We recently introduced the latest technology in hair transplantation that leaves no linear scar on the back of the head, and a rejuvenated hair line for the patient. Our breast implant technology achieves very natural results without a scar on the breast, preferring an underarm incision. Finally, our boutique practice approach in Boca Raton caters to a very sophisticated and well-educated group of patients who seek us out based on their research of cutting-edge procedures and our excellent reviews, which speak for themselves.

YLANG-YLANG BOASTS CALMING PROPERTIES BEYOND ITS WONDERFUL AROMA

BY TAMMY FENDER

In Palm Beach, we’re surrounded by so much natural beauty that we can almost take it for granted. Recently, my husband, Marc, and I were taking a stroll when a ylang-ylang tree stopped us in our tracks with its mesmerizing scent. That moment alone was a gift. But, because of the tree’s long, cyclical blooming, ylang-ylang has been the lucky aroma for a number of our most cherished moments, whether giving our youngest daughter a roller-skating lesson or joining our son as he walks the dogs. After a recent family trip to Portugal, the tropical perfume of the ylang-ylang’s sunny blossoms was the scent we came home to.

The plant world beckons to our senses, creating connections through its beauty, but also through a long legacy of healing. So many powerful medicines are derived from plants, including aspirin, which has its roots in willow, and the compounds used in chemotherapy, some of which come from the yew tree. As a holistic practitioner, I believe the aesthetic splendor of the plant kingdom is not separate from its healing strength. While working in my apothecary, I rely on plant extracts and essences to create transformative skin care formulas. And so many of nature’s most potent wonders can be found right here in South Florida.

Native to tropical Asia and used in many traditional healing cultures, the ylang-ylang tree features graceful, draping branches that bloom with star-like flowers. While perfumers treasure ylang-ylang for its lightly fruity and sweet aroma (it’s a key ingredient in Chanel No. 5), it can also help to tone and balance the skin as well as alleviate stress. My clients share a range of emotions in the treatment room, and

ylang-ylang is the essence I recommend in times of grief or anxiety. Though science has yet to uncover precisely which bioactive molecules in the plant’s composition reduce anxiety, there is evidence that applying this essential oil to the skin helps to calm the nervous system, lowering blood pressure and one’s pulse rate.

As a wife, mother, daughter, and business owner, I have often turned to ylang-ylang when I’ve felt overwhelmed. I can recall one day in particular when I was dropping our son off at college, which is always emotional for me. As I was driving away, the phone rang with news of a family emergency, followed by a reminder of a pressing need at work—all while being stuck in morning traffic. Thankfully, I always have a little bottle of ylangylang essential oil close by. Even just one quick inhale brings restoration. «

In addition to its aesthetic beauty and sought-after aroma, ylang-ylang is known for its range of holistic healing benefits.

The Role of the Federal Reserve

AMID AN UNCERTAIN ECONOMY, MONETARY POLICY TAKES CENTER STAGE

BY JUDY MARTEL

When the economy gets out of whack, all eyes turn to the Federal Reserve. Officially, the Fed’s mission is to control monetary policy. But what does that mean and how effective is it?

“The Federal Reserve’s primary role is to manage the supply of money in order to meet two key objectives: keep prices stable and promote maximum employment,” says Sean Snaith, director of the Institute for Economic Forecasting at the University of Central Florida.

Composed of three entities, the Federal Reserve System is this country’s central bank. It includes the board of governors, the 12 regional Federal Reserve banks, and the Federal Open Market Com mittee. Located around the country, the regional banks clear checks and act as the eyes and ears for the board. Presidents of each bank cycle through the Federal Open Market Committee as voting mem bers who decide whether or not to raise interest rates. The board of governors, chaired by Jerome Powell, is made up of seven members representing different sectors of the economy who are appointed by the president of the United States. Its role is to oversee the banks and implement monetary policy.

So just how does the Fed manage the supply and flow of money?

One of the most effective methods is to manipulate interest rates, says Snaith. When rates are lower, as they were for a decade leading up to 2022, it stimulates spending among consumers and business es because the cost of borrowing money is less, especially on bigticket items such as cars, homes, commercial buildings, and large appliances, but also on credit card purchases. In turn, there is an increased need for businesses to hire because the items in demand have to be built, produced, and shipped.

At the other end of the spectrum, higher rates make it more expen sive to borrow money, and that’s where we find ourselves in 2022. “In our current inflationary environment, the economy has over heated because the government shut it down for two months in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Snaith. Once the shutdown lifted, pent-up demand overwhelmed the supply chain and put a strain on companies that were scrambling to get workers back. “We opened the birdcage and everyone came out flying and looking to spend. The economy just exploded.”

In response to higher prices for nearly everything, the Fed began raising rates to try to bring inflation (the rate at which prices rise)

back to its target 2 percent annual average, rather than the 8 percent and more we reached during this past year. That helps slow spend ing, giving employment and the supply chain a chance to catch up to demand while prices stabilize or drop.

This strategy works well in this economic environment, says Snaith. “Monetary policy has a powerful effect over time because it impacts spending behavior,” he explains. “Especially when it comes to controlling inflation, the Fed is the tip of the spear, if not the entire spear.”

When the Fed’s actions are not sufficient, there are some addi tional tools to help stabilize the economy. During Congressional hearings this year, Federal Reserve Board Chair Powell has been asking the government to do more, but Snaith says there aren’t many options on the table.

“Congress can either cut government spending, raise taxes, or do both at the same time,” he notes. Higher taxes cut into consum ers’ discretionary spending money, while a reduction in government spending translates into money that won’t be pumped into the econ omy, resulting in less demand. Heading into mid-term elections, Snaith doesn’t see the government taking any action. “I think the Fed

will have to go it alone,” he says.

The final thought on the current economy is a word people don’t like to utter: recession. It’s always a possibility in an inflationary environment, Snaith says, but the silver lining is that it’s actually an other tool to help the Fed in its mission, by bringing spending back in line and the economy back into balance. “Recession may be the bitter pill we have to swallow.” «

What influenced you to become a designer?

Since I was a little girl, I was influ enced by my mom’s fabrics from her interior design projects, pieces of arts, the beauty of color, Colombian biodiversity, traveling, and discover ing the diverse strong women from around the globe. I have always been very visually sensitive, and I knew that through fashion design I was going to be able to express that exuberance that filled my soul, to mix different cultures, and to share their magic and the Latin flair with women around the world.

Your designs go beyond fashion. Describe your 360-degree approach when creating a collection.

I design with heart, and my clothes are born with purpose. ... In the creative process, I always start with color. Then comes the mood and inspiration. The print illustra tions are a crucial element. Then come silhouettes. ... We prioritize [repurposing] our deadstock, and we always take into account our Indigenous communities or artisanal associations to create our accesso ries [via] hand-in-hand collaboration with them.

Our vertically integrated business model implies that 90 percent of the production is done in-house in my hometown of Cali, Colombia, translating into many stories and development opportunities behind each dress. Being able to bring a positive impact to the lives of the 436 people (78 percent women) who work at Johanna Ortiz is definitely our major achievement.

What are your core practices in keeping the brand sustainable?

We truly believe in the value of doing the right thing and having eth ics at the center of everything we do. We honor our JO family every day and give them the tools to transform their realities through education, housing, recreation, health, and mental health support. We are committed to making our products locally, generating social inclusion, and building capacities, [while] also recognizing and enhancing our tra

ditional handcrafts and techniques. Furthermore, we work in harmony with the environment. We value our biodiversity as our endless source of inspiration and are [committed] to preserving it. That’s why, for example, we are planting more than 2,000 trees in the Amazon in partner ship with the native communities.

Describe your new home collection.

Expect to travel to the most magi cal Colombian towns through our home collection. The respect and appreciation for local communities’ ancestral crafts and knowledge is a crucial part of the social purpose of the company and one of the most relevant attributes in our pieces, which are hand-in-hand creations with 23 Indigenous communities and artisanal associations around Colombia, where we impact more than 260 women.

What were the inspirations behind your Resort 2022 collection?

REAL TALK WITH...

Johanna Ortiz

The Colombian designer talks inspiration, culture, diversity, and sustainability

BY KATHERINE LANDE

The silhouettes this season are easy but sophisticated. They are festive through playful necklines, plunging back-lines, sensuous cut outs, and joyful mini dresses. As part of the Johanna Ortiz DNA, versatility and sustainability are present.

As always, the Johanna Ortiz prints are the perfect melting pot of cultures. Exuberant landscapes of the Colombian Orinoco Moriche palm trees and regal Yarumo me dicinal trees set the mood for this collection—a fascinating balance alongside Ankaran wax prints and Japanese-inspired kimonos and tu nics that come to life in tropical fall ing leaves and Kasuri ikat patterns.

In our continued effort to be more sustainable, responsible, and respectful every day, the materi als include organic pima cotton knitwear, printed eco-friendly cot tons, linens, and viscose jacquards. There is also the more traditional silk crepe de chine and charmeuse, both in solids and prints. For the evening elements, [we] introduced printed velvet and glowing paillette textures that, when playfully paired with feathers, give a sense of tex ture, movement, and shine.

The Johanna Ortiz brand includes homeware and clothing inspired by and indebted

the cultures and craftspeo-

her home country of Colombia.
