Daphne Nikolopoulos daphne@palmbeachillustrated.com

ASHLEY MEYER

BURN, BABY ’Tis the season for candlelight, and we’ve handpicked the most gorgeously scented candles to set the mood for your next party.

Page 82.

As I write this, the temperature outside is hovering around 80 degrees and the houses in my neighborhood are decorated with spiders and jack-o’-lanterns. Still, I imagine December: the crisp air, the kids’ faces when the Worth Avenue tree is illuminated, the menorahs in the windows, the endless loops of Christmas songs.

The holiday season is so magical to me that I begin to anticipate it in September.

No, not because Costco puts out its holiday decorations then; that’s when we plan the December issue.

This year’s edition is glamorous on many levels, starting with our cover story on mother-daughter duo Janet Gretzky and Paulina Gretzky Johnson. Both Janet and Paulina are married to superstar athletes—hockey great Wayne Gretzky and golfer Dustin Johnson, respectively—but they’re power players in their own right, not least of all for their ability to juggle many roles with grace and style. Their most important accomplishment? Nurturing a strong sense of family. Turn to “Family Ties are Wins” on page 106 to read more about these fierce women and see their fashionable side as they model looks from the latest collections.

Since this is the season for parties, we tapped objet d’art designer Michael Aram to host an haute holiday celebration at the Palm Beach home he shares with his husband and their two children. For this alfresco dinner party, Michael crafted glittering vignettes with festive culinary creations presented in his decorative objects, each a work of art. Check out “Holiday by Design” on page 114 and be inspired for your own entertaining this season.

And since fashion is front of mind for everyone this month, I urge you to thumb through “Lady of the Manor,” starting on page 122. Our take on the season’s hottest evening wear, photographed by Gabor Jurina at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, is a love letter to classic elegance made modern with a “rocker chic” twist.

As you create your own holiday memories this month, keep in mind how fortunate we are—as individuals and as a nation—and honor the spirit of the season by being there for someone in need or simply spreading goodness and cheer. Wishing you the very best of everything!

FROM THE PUBLISHER

LOCAL LANDSCAPE LILA PHOTO

For those who have been traveling or in other parts of the world over the past several months, plenty around Palm Beach has changed since you were “wheels up” to your summer destinations. Now that we are all back and enjoying long lunches poolside at Swifty’s, you may need to recalibrate landmarks as you navigate such change.

Worth Avenue has been lined with wood sheeting all summer as retailers started getting ready for season. Graff is moving to the south side of the avenue. Gucci has moved up the avenue. Carolina Herrera and Lugano Diamonds have arrived at The Esplanade. If timepieces are your thing, look for a revamped Hublot and a new Panerai shop in the coming months. Over at The Royal, the new Penthouse at Marissa Collections is a must-visit retail destination. Women’s wear maker Staud and men’s clothier Thom Browne will be arriving soon, and this short-suit-wearing gent is already counting the days!

Dining options were also suitably scrambled over the summer. Many of you were still on the island when Ta-boo served its last Bloody Mary in May of this year. The space will soon be filled by Thomas Keller’s third South Florida project. I’m sure reservations are already booked out to 2025. In October, over tomato pie and coconut cake, we bid adieu to our Friday night go-to spot, The Regional. We are crossing fingers that chef Lindsay Autry keeps her Southern-inspired dishes here on the home front. In the meantime, we can always visit her Honeybelle restaurant at PGA National when we need a fried chicken fix.

As some locations served their last meals, others opened in quick succession. The bone-in New York strip (served sliced) and signature Manhattans at Harry’s Bar & Restaurant can turn any night into a memorable evening.

Next door, New York transplants Adrienne’s Pizzabar and Felice do right by their new home, Wall Street South. We like Felice for lunch amid the lawyers and investment bankers. And let’s not forget the recent edition of Gallaghers down in Boca. Could it be that South Florida is developing a bit of a New York accent?

Finally, with all the changes afoot, we’d like to take a moment to recognize a West Palm Beach regular. This magazine is a longtime collaborator with Rob Samuels and Scott Diament, the principals at Provident Jewelry. This month, as Provident celebrates its thirtieth anniversary, we wish the team all the best on the next 30. Congratulations!

Happy navigating,

Terry Duffy tduffy@palmbeachmedia.com

A Rising Star of Research in Florida CLEVELAND CLINIC’S FLORIDA RESEARCH AND INNOVATION CENTER ATTRACTS A NEW GENERATION OF SCIENTISTS SEEKING TO STOP THE NEXT PANDEMIC — BEFORE IT STARTS. For nearly as long as she can remember, Emily Speranza, PhD, has been fascinated by viruses. “To me, they’re little pockets of perfect evolution,” she says. “We might study a virus that expresses seven proteins, whereas the human body expresses 20,000 proteins. Yet viruses can completely take over us. They’re very efficient.”

Dr. Speranza is a scientist at Cleveland Clinic’s Florida Research and Innovation Center (FRIC) in Port St. Lucie. A bioinformatician by training, she now harnesses big data to analyze host-virus interactions — the remarkably complex pas de deux that unfolds on microscopic dance floors between cells and viral pathogens.

“My lab is focused on what happens after you become infected with a virus,” she says. “What happens right when the virus enters, either through the lungs or the skin? How is the immune system trying to fight off the pathogen to prevent it from getting anywhere else in the body? We’re trying to improve our understanding of how these early events lead either to a good outcome, where the virus is contained, or a bad outcome, where the virus is able to spread. Down the line, this will lead to the development of therapeutics that could intervene in the early stages of infection to help the host have a better outcome.”

COURTESY OF PANTHER NATIONAL

Dominik Senn has developed Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens.

SPOTLIGHT

HOLE IN ONE Who better to develop the first modern golf and lifestyle community to debut in Palm Beach County in nearly two decades than Dominik Senn, once a champion alpine skier and sports agent for the likes of Roger Federer? Between the pandemic-boosted shift of affluent homeowners acquiring primary residences in South Florida and the area’s status as a golf haven, Senn says Panther National will further the evolution of Palm Beach Gardens.

“There are only a few locations in the world with climate and vegetation like Palm Beach Gardens—where you can build a community like this one that backs up to the Panther National Wildlife Refuge in Florida’s Big Cypress Basin,” he explains.

In conceiving Panther National, even more important than exclusivity and security (essential in a community built to draw professional athletes) was the issue of sustainability. “Coming from the mountains of Zug, Switzerland, I saw firsthand the effects of global warming, so we are doing our best to leverage sustainable architecture,” Senn shares. He adds that Panther National is employing the Best Management Practices (BMP) for Florida golf courses, down to small touchpoints like sustainably packaged goods for members.

The task of recruiting like-minded A-listers, including MLB and NHL players, as members and owners is no hard sell: beyond the Jack Nicklaus Signature 18-hole golf course designed with PGA Tour star Justin Thomas (and its affiliated lounge), Panther National sports 218 estates by renowned architect Max Strang, world-class golf training facilities, a clubhouse, and a lifestyle center with a spa, saunas, fitness and yoga studios, a tennis complex, and a resort-style pool.

What’s better than a staycation at the Yacht Club, the all-suite, adults-only luxury hotel within The Boca Raton? A chance to drive the Aston Martin DBX 707 while you’re there. The hotel recently partnered with the British car brand to offer the Aston Martin Driving Experience, a complimentary perk available exclusively to guests of the Yacht Club. Pick a morning or afternoon to cruise scenic A1A to Miami or Palm Beach—or put its claim of zero to 60 in 3.1 seconds to the test. Other privileges reserved for Yacht Club guests and private club members? Access to the pool and facilities at Spa Palmera, fine dining at Flybridge, and dedicated butler service to any of the waterfront hotel’s 112 suites, each of which has a private balcony overlooking the yachts docked in Lake Boca Raton. (thebocaraton.com)

Commuting isn’t just for business travel anymore. Cue HeliFlite, the private commuter helicopter service that can zip you from Palm Beach International Airport to polo, Miami, or even Key West faster than it might take you to fill up on gas. Afternoon at Disney? Beach day in Longboat Key or the Bahamas? You can fly in one of the company’s 15 twin-engine, dual-piloted, executive cabin–class helicopters to anywhere within a 250-mile radius of its bases in Miami, Opa-Locka, and Palm Beach. The fact that HeliFlite was regularly featured on HBO’s Succession— and counts C-suite executives and celebrities we’re not at liberty to name as frequent flyers—speaks to its luxury, safety, and discretion. Fees begin at $5,450 per hour but vary depending on route. (heliflite.com)

Seas the Day

«

Take to the high seas (or just the Intracoastal) with GetMyBoat, a boat rental service with no sign-up fees, membership, or subscription required. You don’t need to own a boat to snorkel, enjoy a sunset cocktail hour, or show friends and family Palm Beach from the water; choose to charter a large captained yacht or, if you have boating experience, book a captain-optional or bare-boat rental, such as a pontoon or smaller powerboat, and motor around yourself. Want to make it a party? Yachts with capacity for more than 300 people are available from $1,375 per hour—or keep it in the family with a sloop for six. (getmyboat.com)

The ritual of lighting candles each night fills our home with warmth and joy, and witnessing the sheer delight on my children’s faces as they unwrap their gifts is truly priceless.

President and CEO Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County “My favorite holiday event is our Hanukkah celebration hosted by PJ Library in South Palm Beach County [slated for December 13]. It’s a massive party where we have a huge menorah lit by our rabbis, with songs and little ones dancing and seniors holding hands.

There’s so much energy, joy, and fun at this event [and it is] one of the best times I have all year.” (jewishboca.org)

President and CEO Adolph & Rose Levis Jewish Community Center, Boca Raton “The annual leadership Hanukkah party is a warm and wonderful way to usher in the spirit of the holiday season, and ‘A Very Jewish Concert on Christmas Day,’ performed by Aaron Kula and the Klezmer Company Jazz Orchestra, is a vibrant and joyful celebration of famous Klezmer, Yiddish, Chassidic, and Israeli songs influenced

Clockwise from far left: Tricia Taylor, president of The Breakers; the resort’s main lobby; Henry’s Palm Beach bar; spa courtyard.

T

ricia Taylor is making history as The Breakers’ first new president since 1994 and the first female to hold the position, but the appointment was not spontaneous for this seasoned employee.

After a post-graduate stint at the WaldorfAstoria New York, Taylor moved to Florida in 1996 to work at The Breakers. Her first role? Housekeeping manager.

“Over the course of two decades, my career progressed through the resort and its operating divisions,” she says. “Now, reflecting on my 27 years with The Breakers, I recognize my career path simply developed naturally.”

Hospitality is complex, but The Breakers makes headlines for high levels of employee engagement and satisfaction. “We focus on our team,” notes Taylor. “Our team

for and with leaders like Paul, Garrett, our board of directors, and the Kenan family is a rare privilege that I cherish.”

Above all, Taylor’s aware of her responsibility to serve as a role model to the audiences that matter most to her: The Breakers’ 2,300 team members and her two teenage daughters. “If I can support and inspire them to achieve their goals and personal best, then I will have succeeded,” she says. “I truly believe the only thing better than The Breakers today is The Breakers tomorrow.” (thebreakers.com) «

focuses on taking exceptional care of our guests. We are financially disciplined with our results, enabling us to reinvest back into our community, property, and team, and the cycle continues. We’ve built incredible momentum with this approach over the years.”

That service-minded, family-first MO starts at the top and traces back to the hotel’s very beginning. Owned for more than 100 years by founder Henry Flagler and his heirs, The Breakers is one of the few grand hotels to remain under original family ownership.

“The reason I’ve dedicated the majority of my adult life to The Breakers is the people,” Taylor says, citing CEO Paul Leone and chairman Garrett Kirk as key factors of the hotel’s—and her own—success. “To work

The Fortune Tellers ANTIQUES ROADSHOW APPRAISERS SEBASTIAN CLARKE AND KATHERINE VAN DELL SIZE UP PEOPLE’S PRIZED POSSESSIONS WITH A KEEN EYE FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY

BY JUDY ALEXANDRA DIEDWARDO

Forget pirates and swashbucklers, Sebastian Clarke and Katherine van Dell are modern-day treasure hunters. Together, the husbandand-wife duo have decades of experience in auctions and antique appraisal, with Sebastian specializing in English and European furniture and decorative arts, and Katherine in jewelry. They relocated to West Palm Beach with their children in 2019 and now work with Heritage Auctions, which is slated to open a full-service office in West Palm Beach next month. In addition to continued appearances on the hit PBS series Antiques Roadshow, Sebastian and Katherine are excited to bring their talents to the South Florida community and its savviest collectors. PBI recently caught up with them to discuss their backgrounds, most memorable discoveries, and more.

TORY BENOIT

Above: Katherine van Dell and Sebastian Clarke have brought their expertise in auctions and antique appraisal to West Palm Beach. Below: Katherine describes one of her most memorable appraisals as this Lalique plique-à-jour enamel dragonfly bracelet (archival sketch).

62

PBI: How did your respective interests in antique and collectible furniture, the decorative arts, and jewelry begin?

Katherine: Sebastian comes from a family background in the arts and antiques across a broad range of categories. I do not. My parents, who worked for the airlines and traveled, made exposure to the arts a priority.

I went to art school in Philadelphia, where they had a strong jewelry and decorative arts department, which attracted me because [jewelry lives] alongside fashion and across thousands of years of cultural significance.

It’s the most visual way to translate status or significant life events. It was also a great intersection of my interests in art and the actual bench-making process, which informs how I evaluate a piece.

Sebastian: I moved to America from Wales when I was 18 to join my father, who worked for an auction house. My first job was

putting tacks into the backs of picture frames. I later joined my godfather at his painting restoration studio in New York City. Every day I walked Madison Avenue with five paintings under each arm that were wrapped in cardboard after they’d been restored or cleaned, and I delivered them to the world’s most important galleries. Quite innocently, I had no clue what they were.

My interests expanded into eighteenthcentury English and European furniture over the next few years. My mother was a textile restorer at the worldfamous Victoria & Albert Museum in London, where she handled some of the world’s most important textiles.

How did your careers evolve into the auction business?

Sebastian: I had the great opportunity to work at Sotheby’s in New York as a specialist in European furniture and have been involved in that arena for over 20 years, including serving as an auctioneer for major auction houses and nonprofits.

Sebastian (above) specializes in English and European furniture and decorative arts, while Katherine (right) specializes in jewelry. They’re both seen here behind the scenes of Antiques Roadshow.

Continued Katherine: I began working many years ago for auction houses in the Northeast. … In this arena, you learn quickly that it’s a business where you’re typically meeting people at a difficult time in their lives and need to be sensitive. It usually involves one of the three Ds: death, divorce, or debt.

What has been one of your most important and unexpected finds?

Katherine: A Lalique plique-à-jour enamel dragonfly bracelet. I remember seeing it in the bottom of a safety deposit box that I was inventorying and knowing immediately that it was an important piece. Just talking about it still gives me goosebumps. I don’t have a very good poker face, and I might have even wept. Sebastian will agree that we’re lucky to have those experiences quite a bit. It’s not uncommon that you see really great things across a broad spectrum of “good-betterbest” items.

Sebastian: This piece Katherine speaks so passionately about came at the beginning of her career. She remained in contact with the client, more as a friend than anything, until it was sold at auction in 2021 for $329,000.

In some respects, you’re like private investigators piecing together a story.

64

Katherine: Yes. Whether it’s an armchair or a bracelet, everything presents its own unique questions concerning its history and value. Is it important because of who owned it or where it came from? There’s a long list of reasons, whether it be costume jewelry or a signed piece [by] Van Cleef & Arpels.

Sebastian: To Katherine’s point, many years ago a client consigned a pair of George III English mahogany benches from about 1760, and one of them had pretty significant burn marks on one side. Something told me I needed to pull on that thread, and it turned out they were from an important English house that burned down in the 1960s. I found pictures of them in that house flanked by marble columns. They went on to sell for $500,000.

What trends are you seeing in your respective categories?

Sebastian: We’re seeing a whole new category of buyer collecting what’s eclectic and diverse; [for example,] a beautiful contemporary painting or print hanging above an eighteenth-century commode flanked by a pair of modernist armchairs.

Katherine: In jewelry I think that the ’80s are having a comeback. We’re moving away from things that are little and delicate and instead seeing really big, bold, substantial pieces and layered jewelry, which I love.

What advice would you give to those interested in the secondary market?

Katherine: Ask lots of questions, do your homework, and always, always buy what you love.

HOW ONE YOUNG LOCAL HAS USED HIS LOVE OF GOLF TO GIVE BACK

COURTESY OF FOOD FOR THE POOR

BY SAM KERRIGAN

Rafe Cochran was just 9 years old when he decided to turn his passion for playing golf into an opportunity to give back to others.

It started when his third-grade class received a visit from the South Florida– based nonprofit Food for the Poor. As one of the largest international relief and development organizations in the country, Food for the Poor provides food, medicine, and shelter to those in need in the Caribbean and Latin America.

“I saw pictures of kids my age who were super unhealthy because of the environment they were living in,” Cochran recalls. “They were hungry and clearly suffering. I looked at that and looked around me and saw my classmates and the environment that I lived in, and it hit me how fortunate I am. I wanted to help give those kids a part of what I have.”

The Rafe Cochran Golf Classic came to life just two years later in 2016. Since then, it has raised more than half a million dollars for Food for the Poor. “Initially, I started raising money to build homes in Haiti, but now we’ve moved to education and have made a really big impact building schools in Jamaica,” Cochran says.

Through the success of this charity golf tournament, Food 68

for the Poor has been able to rebuild six schools in Jamaica, which Cochran says is making a huge difference for families in overpopulated areas of the country. “A lot of these schools we’re helping are either being shut down or are not in the right condition to be serving children and educating the number of kids who want to go to school,” he explains.

Cochran has taken several trips to Jamaica to see the schools being rebuilt and lend a helping hand.

He’s also met with the families and kids impacted by the work and says he can’t think of a better use for these resources. “I think education is the most important thing because you can give someone a home, but an education will last a lifetime. It will open a lot more doors for people in the future if they’re educated.”

Cochran, who graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, will enroll at Emory University in 2024 and play for the school’s golf team. In the meantime, he’s looking ahead to the next Rafe Cochran Golf Classic in the spring (tentatively slated for April 29) and says he’s proud of what this partnership has accomplished.

“To be able to have all my friends around me and to have them be a part of the cause we’ve been working so hard on is really important to me,” Cochran says. “We couldn’t do it without everyone playing in the event and all our donors who are helping Food for the Poor and myself achieve our goals.” (rafe cochrangolfclassic.com, foodforthepoor.org) « WATCH SAM’S “HOMETOWN HEROES” V SEGMENT MONDAY MORNINGS ON CBS12 NEWS

camping for three days and two nights.

Though volcanoes err on the side of unpredictability, Erta Ale is an exception, almost guaranteeing a red-hot lava glow. Adventurers can go as far as they can stand the heat, getting as close as a half-dozen feet from the caldera’s edge, with lava bubbling up and breaking through the crust just a few feet below. Most of the action takes place in the early mornings and late nights, when the temperature is most bearable and the volcanic glow is most photogenic.

This hard-core group experience (maximum size of eight) is tailored to those serious about volcanoes, photography, and straying far off the beaten path, not to mention willing to leave creature comforts behind in the name of natural phenomena.

Only the super-adventurous need apply. (volcanoadventures.com)

these harshest of harsh climatic conditions. At the center lies the mammoth boiling lava lake of the broad, domed Erta Ale volcano, one of the world’s few continuously erupting lava lakes, and the one that can be accessed the closest on foot.

Under the guidance of professional volcanologist Tom Pfeiffer, PhD, and his scientific team, outfitter Volcano Adventures runs multiple eight-day Erta Ale Volcano Special tours per year during the “cooler” months of November to mid-March. Participants on this intense expedition traverse a vast no-man’s-land bordering Ethiopia and Eritrea, witnessing unimaginable geothermal formations. Then, they ascend the caldera of Erta Ale, working on prizeworthy shots of the lava’s glow while

AMBRYM AND YASUR, VANUATU According to most volcanologists, the island nation of Vanuatu is a holy grail of volcano expeditions. However, the destination is not for the faint of heart as long hikes, treacherous terrain, and (at times) gas masks are par for the course.

On the island of Tanna, Yasur wows as one of Earth’s few volcanoes in constant strombolian-type eruption, ejecting red-hot lava bombs tens or hundreds of meters into the air from several vents, almost rhythmically.

On Ambrym, a basaltic volcanic island, the center is marked by an immense 7.5-milewide caldera, which rises from the sea as a rainforest-fringed, lunar landscape. It’s home

light. But Thrihnukagigur is anything but your typical dormant volcano. When erupting more than 4,000 years ago, Thrihnukagigur’s magma neither filled its internal chamber nor did its cooled lava seal its three surface craters. No geologist can completely explain exactly how this empty-chamber phenomenon occurred. The main hypotheses are that the magma atypically solidified in the volcanic walls or retreated or drained deeper into the earth. In any case, the result is a one-of-a-kind, massive, cave-like chasm beneath Iceland’s terrain, which now (thanks to the work of Árni B Stefánsson, PhD, and ingenious Icelandic engineers) surfaces as the world’s only accessible volcanic magma chamber.

Your access pass into the heart of Thrihnukagigur volcano is a day trip from Reykjavík with 3-H Travel, the sole operator offering the Inside the Volcano tour. From a starting point at Blue Mountains Country Park, it’s a moderate, 45-minute hike across lava fields to reach the crater. Once atop the volcano, you’ll don your helmet and harness and enter a metal platform cage (imagine a window-cleaning platform for skyscrapers), descending for six

to an arcane world of sand planes, palm oases, cinder cones, erosion gullies, and two highly active craters, Marum and Benbow, which contained lava lakes until 2018. Conditions permitting, the chance to abseil (or rappel) into Benbow crater is a highlight of any global volcanic immersion.

Pfeiffer and Volcano Adventures conduct annual group trips to Vanuatu, the number of which depends on volcanic activity levels. For 2024, a single journey is planned, Volcanoes and Cultures: Adventures in the South Sea, a 15-day excursion (July 2-14) across the Ambrym caldera and through the natural fireworks of Yasur, with a cultural bonus of time with the Nivane people of Ambrym. Expect daily pilgrimages through the slippery jungle as well as steep ascents and descents, occasionally trekking over exposed ash ridges, engulfed in clouds and rain. Other times, an abundance of volcanic gas requires the use of a proper gas mask (don’t worry, Vol-

cano Adventures has you covered—literally).

Even Pfeiffer, who’s seen countless eruptions across the planet, still gains inspiration from his first trip to Ambrym. “I abseiled to the first terrace of Benbow, where I watched an active vent in awe,” he recalls. “It was spattering wildly, like the mouth of a breathing monster.” (volcanoadventures.com) THRIHNUKAGIGUR, ICELAND On an island of extreme volcanic and geologic activity, it seems ironic that an inactive volcano could steal the plate-tectonic lime-

minutes to reach the chamber’s nadir. Once inside, roam for 30 minutes through the cavernous, multihued interiors with your tour guide and fellow group members (typical size is 18 to 20 people, though private tours can be arranged). During your trek inside the volcano, posit your own theory about how this singular site formed or simply revel in the inspiring beauty of one of Mother Nature’s greatest enigmas. (insidethevolcano.com) MOUNT BROMO, INDONESIA The island of Java houses 45 of the archipelago’s 130 active volcanoes, none more picturesque than Mount Bromo, which rises 7,641 feet toward the heavens, surrounded by three wide hills, together framed by a vast, empty caldera. Tucked inside East Java’s Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, Mount Bromo periodically erupts every one to six years, but the incredible volcanic experience is more predictable.

Listen for the eerie sounds of rumbling and degassing, often followed by spewing ash surging from the crater. Wear layers—it’s remarkably cold here in the early morning hours—and carry a tripod. The ultimate shots unfold as the sun swallows the clouds above the volcano and neighboring Mount Semeru appears in the distance, emit-

ting chains of steam into the sky. Following the Mount Bromo high, look forward to visiting another of Java’s most renowned volcanoes, Kawah Ijen, which is crowned by a blazing blue acid lake.

Thanks to solid infrastructure in Java, Mount Bromo can be reached via a full-day tour, bookable through most island hotels. However, to truly immerse in the magic of the country’s volcanic landscapes— in style—we recommend a greater Indonesian sojourn with a luxury outfitter. A top choice: Remote Lands’ 30-day Epic Indonesian Adventure, which not only exposes travelers to the nation’s volcanic riches but also its orangutanfilled forests, Komodo dragon–strewn beaches, and more.

When Ashley and Ed—himself a Colorado native and avid golfer— were searching for a second home, Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock was top of mind. For Ashley, who was adopted and grew up in Fort Pierce, Castle Rock has a small-town feel, where “the pace is slower, and people treat you like family.” When not devoting time to the foundation, the couple gets off the grid and savors the Colorado outdoors.

AIKEN AND ITS TOP HOTEL, THE WILLCOX, EPITOMIZE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY

In the late nineteenth century, around the same time that Henry Morrison Flagler brought his railroad south to Palm Beach, America’s high-society snowbirds flocked to Aiken, South Carolina. They came seeking sunshine and sport, and they got both in spades in this “winter colony” that’s small on the map but big on Southern charm.

Aristocrats, royals, and captains of industry came mainly to play polo on the wellgroomed fields, most notably Whitney Field at the Aiken Polo Club. To this day, the circa-1882 Whitney hosts tournaments during

the spring and fall seasons, which conveniently fall in between high-goal play elsewhere.

When not on the polo fields, well-heeled visitors could be found on the golf course or on a fox hunt, in full riding regalia. The latter took place after dark in the mysterious expanses of the Hitchcock Woods, because nothing is more sporting than a sense of adventure.

After a day of mallet swinging and scent following, they would gather at The Willcox. Built in 1898 as a retreat for the world’s wealthiest and most powerful, “Aiken’s living room” was famous for its ballroom dances, white-glove service, and refined accommodations. Guests such as Harold Vanderbilt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill would “repair” to the hotel for dinner with full silver and crystal settings, as well as handcrafted cocktails like the Parisian or a killer Sazerac.

Though the hotel has developed a vintage patina 125 years on, its reputation hasn’t tar-

nished a bit. It’s still the place to stay in Aiken, and it continues to strive for gracious hospitality. Guest rooms and suites are traditionally furnished with four-poster beds, antiques, and classic fabrics like plaids and florals. Suites are individually decorated and full of character, depicting motifs that resonate with the leisurely pursuits of the region.

Fireplaces and deep bathtubs invite a night in, and private terraces are perfect perches for breakfast on crisp fall mornings.

The Restaurant at The Willcox is Aiken’s de facto special-occasion establishment, with some Southern favorites but mainly Continental classics. Of note are The Restaurant’s romantic packages, top of which is the Ultimate Aiken Experience for two: a three-course, alfresco dinner served on Aiken Polo Club’s pavilion terrace with a view of historic Whitney Field. The non-polo-minded have options as well: a picnic in Hitchcock Woods, a wine and chocolate pairing or fireside s’mores at the hotel, or dinner in the spa suite following a 60-minute couples massage.

The town itself is steeped in history and Southern culture from art to music.

Shoppers will love A Fox’s Tale, a shop showcasing local artists and craftsmen in downtown Aiken. Here you’ll find Betsy Olmsted tea towels with handpainted horses and critters, vintage editions of classic books (think: a first edition

THREE REASONS TO ESCAPE TO LITTLE PALM ISLAND NOW

Since 1988, the single biggest reason to visit Little Palm Island has been the castaway glow that comes from being on a secluded, private island. The 4-acre retreat reachable by boat from Little Torch Key has perfected “do nothing time” with Gumby Smash cocktails, toes-in-the-sand dining, and thatch-roofed bungalows with romantic private beaches.

Looking for an excuse to visit—or return?

Here are three. (littlepalmisland.com)

SNORKELING LOOE KEY Most Floridians don’t realize the world’s third-largest coral reef is in our backyard. Part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Looe Key, off Big Pine Key, is a treasure trove of marine life and offers some of the best snorkeling on the planet. Through its Paradise with a Purpose package, Little Palm Island will whisk you to the Looe Key reef for a day of snorkeling, during which you’ll encounter a head-spinning array of fish—the usual tropical suspects, plus bigger fish like grouper and sharks—in spectacular terrain and Windex-blue water. A naturalist swims out with guests to help spot and identify wildlife and interpret the experience.

BRUNCH IS BACK After a few years’ absence, which was noted among Little Palm Island devotees, the decadent foodfest that is brunch has returned. The all-you-can-eat experience is an occasion to be anticipated (read: come hungry) and savored. It works like this: come 11 a.m. on Sunday, you’ll put on your island finest and settle into a seaside table or terrace banquette for the next two or three hours. Then you’ll sip Champagne or a Bloody Mary—glasses are bottomless—and nibble on monkey bread while you wait for your small plates (which are actually not that small) to arrive. Some choices from a recent visit: Florida lobster hash, shakshuka, heirloom tomato gazpacho, Key West pinks with cheddar grits, aji panca–rubbed tri-tip, bison empanadas, and the definitive key lime pie. In food nirvana, you’ll find the closest hammock and nap for the rest of the afternoon.

IMMERSION IN NATURE Is there anything more precious than a key deer? The diminutive ungulates, which are native to the Lower Keys and very much endangered, swim to Little Palm Island from nearby mangrove islands to forage. They’re so innocent they’ll come right up to you for a close encounter of the most adorable kind— just don’t touch or feed them. Furthermore, the Little Palm water is so clear that you can observe the prolific marine life from a kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or Boston Whaler (all available on-island). At night, hang out by the docks and watch the tarpon and snook feeding frenzy; by day, be on the lookout for sharks, turtles, and, if you’re lucky, a manatee lolling in the sea grasses.

HIGH ROAD

SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS THE MERCEDES-MAYBACH GLS 600 SUV DEFINES EFFORTLESS LUXURY

BY HOWARD WALKER

M

y olfactory neurons are sensing the floral bouquet of white osmanthus blossoms, rounded out by a gentle leather note, with just a hint of spicy tea. It’s nothing less than nirvana for the nostrils.

While the typical domestic daily driver exudes the heady aroma of pungent gym bags, half-eaten Happy Meals, and pumpkin spice lattes, not so the temple of luxe that is the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4Matic SUV. The perfumiers at Mercedes’ Maybach created the sensuous scent exclusively for this Gulfstream jet for the road. Get your chauffeur to engage the Air-Balance function, and the fragrance is spritzed discreetly around the cabin. What does it smell like? Money, of course.

When it was introduced back in 2020, this GLS 600 was Mercedes-Maybach’s first SUV and big brother to the flagship Maybach S-Class sedan. As the badge suggests, this milk and honey 4x4 is based on Merc’s full-bodied GLS, but it comes with a plethora of bells and whistles to justify its $170,000-and-up price tag.

Like its sedan counterpart, the GLS 600 is all about that cavernous rear compartment. Whereas the regular GLS has three rows and can seat up to eight, the Maybach accommodates just four. Climb into the back— a task made easier by extra-wide, electronically extending running boards—and ease into one of two Barcalounger-style thrones. At the tap of a button, they’ll recline 43 degrees and the footrests will elevate, all while some mechanized masseuse pummels your lower sacrum.

Then there’s the pièce de résistance: a Champagne fridge mounted between the seats, complete with a pair of Robbe & Berking silver flutes.

As you might expect, the leatherwork is breathtaking. Hermès

After spending a joyous week with the 2024 GLS 600, it is my duty to report on how this luxurious limousine drives, so that you may pass on the information to your chauffeur. Suffice it to say, it has the power, performance, refinement, and silky ride you’d expect of a Maybach.

Power comes from Mercedes’ Teflon-smooth 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with hybrid-assist that results in a potent 550 horsepower.

Escaping those pesky paparazzi, it can whoosh you from standstill to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds. It’s coupled to a 9-speed automatic that shifts gears with the fluidity of hot molasses flowing from a jar.

Naturally, height-adjusting Airmatic air suspension is standard. But what I love is the active body control setup that complements it. This includes a so-called Curve mode that actively leans the Maybach into a bend, kind of like a motorcycle, and cameras that scan the road ahead and prep the suspension to instantly react to lumps and bumps. The result is a true magic carpet–like ride that gives the spooky feeling of floating on air.

As for the looks, I’d put the Maybach’s exterior design in the “acquired taste” category. If you like beaucoup bling with your luxury

SUV, you won’t be disappointed. Up front, there’s more shiny chrome than a ’70s Cadillac Eldorado, along with towering 23-inch forged alloys and available two-tone paint. I’m sure the aim here is to disguise the fact that beneath the glitz and glam is a more mundane Mercedes GLS, which does sort of detract from the appeal.

Fact is, for roughly the same money—our loaded Maybach GLS 600 topped out at just over $200,000—you could get into a Bentley Bentayga V8 or a long-wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography. Arguably the 600’s biggest rival will be Mercedes’ just-launched and similarly priced all-electric Maybach EQS SUV. But for Mercedes lovers looking for some serious luxury, this new GLS 600 is heaven scent. «

HOME AWAY FROM HOME THE NEW PRESTIGE M8 POWER CATAMARAN PROVES THAT TWO HULLS ARE BETTER THAN ONE

BY HOWARD WALKER

W

ho doesn’t dream of a beach house by the sea? Waves gently lapping by the back door, friends and family soaking up rays on comfy loungers, a wellstocked fridge full of frosty libations. The only negative, hurricanes aside, is that a beach house stays firmly rooted in one spot. If the view gets old, the neighbors get too rambunctious, the commute becomes tiresome, you’re stuck.

So how about a beach house on the sea?

That’s the thinking behind the brand-new flagship M8 power catamaran from French builder Prestige, part of the yachting powerhouse that is Groupe Beneteau.

As you might expect from something measuring 65 feet long and 29 feet wide, it has the interior space of a well-sized beach cottage. In fact, it boasts more than 3,000 square feet, with up to five en-suite bedrooms including a fullbeam primary suite worthy of a Four Seasons.

“We tried everything possible to make it not feel like a boat,” says Prestige VP Erwin Bamps. “It’s a villa on the sea that can transport

you to a new location every day.”

I recently met Bamps during a test drive and tour of the new M8 at Fort Lauderdale’s Bahia Mar Marina. The first thing I noticed was its spectacular looks.

Typical power cats can appear like sailing catamarans minus the mast.

This built-in-Italy Prestige M8, from the drawing board of longtime Prestige designer Camillo Garroni, has true visual drama.

But there’s no mistaking its imposing enormity. Stepping aboard is like stepping onto the back deck of some chic seaside mansion. The huge rear cockpit heightens the coastal-living feel, complete with ultra-modern furniture in shades of icy blue from Italian design house Pininfarina. The near-full-width sliding-glass doors open into the cavernous saloon, creat-

ing the ultimate indoor-outdoor living space.

Again, it’s all beachy cool, with light oak floors and lots of mirror-polished stainless steel.

Arguably the design masterpiece is that primary suite that spans the two hulls beneath the forward deck. More like a private apartment, it stretches close to 30 feet across, giving enough space for a lounging area, a big bed that runs east-west, and a large bathroom. The VIP suite is almost similar in size and features a den with a sofa and pop-up TV for movie nights.

It’s time to head out along the Intracoastal and into the Atlantic to see how the M8 performs. The best place to take the controls is up on the vast flybridge, with its near-unobstructed 360-degree views, wind-protecting wraparound screen, and sports car–like two-seat helm with twin 22-inch Garmin screens.

Powering this ocean-going leviathan is a pair of 600-horsepower Volvo D8 turbodiesels, one in each hull, both hushed by sound-deadening materials. The thinking here is comfort, not so much speed, though max velocity is a zippy 20 knots, with 15 knots being the cruising sweet spot.

Exiting the Port Everglades cruise ship channel into the Atlantic, I push forward on the

throttles and feel a mighty surge. These are not planing hulls, nor are the Volvos particularly powerful given the size of the yacht. But those slender, vertical bows cut through the waves like a hot knife through butter, with the wide beam providing exceptional stability.

At 17 knots, the engines are barely audible and burning less than 45 gallons an hour. Throttle back to a sedate 8 knots and the burn rate drops to less than 10 gallons an hour. With twin 490-gallon fuel tanks, the M8 will run for more

than 350 nautical miles between fill-ups.

Spin that nicely weighted wheel and the M8 makes tight turns without a hint of heeling.

When it comes time to dock, the twin engines, bow thrusters on each hull, and joystick control make easy work of parking.

Luxury power catamarans are grabbing plenty of attention right now, and this new Prestige M8, priced from $5.4 million or $6.2 million very wellequipped, represents the state of the art. Think of it as a beach house, without the yard work. «

FAMILY TIES ARE WINS Style and sport go hand in hand for Janet Gretzky and Paulina Gretzky Johnson

BY MICHELE MEYER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANTHONY PARMELEE

Janet Gretzky and daughter Paulina Gretzky Johnson often have been mistaken for one another. Even after Paulina cut and darkened her hair recently, friends assumed they’d spotted Janet, not Paulina, clad in a shimmering black turtleneck and matching stiletto mules in New York City.

But it was Paulina, who’d just appeared on an episode of Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and celebrated at The Polo Bar with her siblings afterward.

Paulina and Janet’s similarities are more than skin deep. Both based in Palm Beach Gardens, they share a confidence, focus on family, and competitiveness worthy of their surname.

“We’re like an old married couple in that we know each other so well that we know what the other will do and what words will come out of the other’s mouth,” says Janet, an actress, dancer, model, and the wife of

hockey great Wayne Gretzky. “Sometimes we think we’re not alike, but we are so alike.”

Even so, “like mother, like daughter” holds true only to a point. The pair has been known to diverge, especially while Paulina was growing up as the eldest and most independent of the Gretzkys’ five children.

These days, though, they accept each other’s differences, and Janet has become Paulina’s confidante. She’s also Paulina’s babysitter of choice for young sons Tatum and River. This type of help enables Paulina to make quick trips, as she did to New York, or accompany her husband, LIV champion golfer Dustin Johnson, on his tours.

“She’s not only a fantastic mom but an even greater grandmother,” says Paulina, a model, actress, and fashion entrepreneur. “I don’t know what I’d do without her.”

Honey and Papa—as their grandkids call Janet and Wayne—often pick up Tatum and

River from school. But that’s just for starters.

They’ll do anything for their grandchildren.

“The adage that grandparents have grandkids for two days, spoil them, and give them back, that’s not us,” Wayne says. “We love having them around us all the time, and they love staying with us.”

The senior Gretzkys’ Palm Beach Gardens home has become family central—and a hive of activity. If you’re looking for any of their five grown children or five grandchildren, start there.

And it all began with Dance Fever.

Janet and Wayne met on the syndicated musical variety series in 1980 when both were 19 years old. She was a cast dancer, and he was among an episode’s celebrity judges.

Yet Janet and Wayne didn’t truly connect until seven years later, when they ran into each other at a Los Angeles Lakers game.

In the interim, Janet was briefly engaged

to tennis star Vitas Gerulaitis, through whom she met Andy Warhol.

“We got along great,” she says of the legendary Pop artist. “At one of his parties, he said to me, ‘I’ve got to sign you.’ He literally went down on his knees and signed the back pocket of my white jeans. People magazine was at the party and took a picture.”

That photo now hangs on the Gretzkys’ staircase wall next to a shadow frame of the white jeans and another photo of Warhol with Wayne at a studio session.

“Andy fell crazy for Wayne and wanted to paint him,” Janet says of that friendship.

“We were having our own Andy Warhol relationships at the same age but through different people.”

In the mid-1980s, Janet made the leap to

the big screen, not just as a dancer but also as an actress in A Chorus Line, A League of Their Own, and The Flamingo Kid. She’d also appeared on magazine covers, including Life, and in many commercials. But Wayne’s fame was on another level. Already known as “the Great One,” he was busy icing his status as the best hockey player of all time, setting records that remain unrivaled.

Their July 1988 nuptials at St. Joseph’s Cathedral Basilica in Edmonton were over the top—as was the reaction in Wayne’s native Canada, where the “royal wedding” was televised live across the country. More than 700 guests attended, and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra performed. Canadian Mounties stood guard outside as fans celebrated.

A month after the wedding, the Gretzkys

moved to California, as Wayne had been traded to the Los Angeles Kings after winning four Stanley Cups with the Edmonton Oilers.

Paulina arrived at the end of 1988, the first of three children within four years. “Paulina was the oldest, and we took her everywhere we went, whether it was dinner or Disneyland,” says Wayne, who often gave post-game interviews with Paulina on his lap.

Before she’d even turned 14, Paulina had curtseyed before Queen Elizabeth II on her 2002 royal tour of Canada. “She grew up in the limelight and has seen so much that it takes a lot to intrigue her,” Wayne adds. “She’s just as happy staying home with her kids.”

Paulina’s love of children became clear when Janet had her youngest child, Emma, in 2003. “Paulina held her first,” Janet recalls.

[PAULINA] GREW UP IN THE LIMELIGHT AND HAS SEEN SO MUCH THAT IT TAKES A LOT TO INTRIGUE HER. SHE’S JUST AS HAPPY STAYING HOME WITH HER KIDS.” —Wayne Gretzky

“She was kissing and snuggling with her. It was so endearing. When Paulina’s babies were born, I was doing the same.”

At the time of Emma’s birth, the family was still living in California, having settled in Westlake Village, outside L.A. proper.

“Deep down we’re a regular family,” says Wayne. “We had dinner together at the same time every night. We taught them right from wrong, and Janet was the disciplinarian. If she’d said, ‘Wait till your dad gets home,’ they’d have laughed.”

When Paulina’s beautiful singing voice became evident, her parents pushed her to perform. She was just 15 when she sang Sarah McLachlan’s “I Will Remember You” to 57,167 spectators in Edmonton and another millionplus on TV for the first Heritage Classic, a rare outdoor hockey game.

“It was so cold—negative 22 degrees Fahrenheit with windchill—that she sat with Janet in the car, only getting out to sing,” Wayne recalls. “She was nervous because she didn’t want to let anyone down, but Janet was her rock, telling her, ‘You can do this.’”

Paulina went on to appear in such films as a 2009 remake of Fame and on the covers of Maxim and Canada’s Flare.

Paulina also showed an aptitude for sports at an early age. As soon as she could hold a racket and a club, she played tennis and golf.

By 5, she was outscoring fellow hockey players—despite playing on a boys’ team.

Second place was of no interest to Paulina.

Nor was it for her mother, who grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and would often play baseball and other sports with the boys who lived on her street. “Whether it’s golf, cornhole, charades, bowling, or playing gin, we’re very competitive—and we’re not afraid to show it,” Janet says. “If our family was on Family Feud, it would be crazy. If we didn’t clobber the other team, there’d be no end to the grief we’d give each other.”

As did her mother, Paulina married a famous athlete. While a top golfer on the PGA Tour, Dustin won the U.S. Open in 2016 and the Masters Tournament in 2020. “I’m intrigued by men who want to be the best,” Paulina says. “I love that energy. My dad is so good at what he does, and I look for that.”

The couple met when Janet invited Dustin

to dinner after he’d played golf with Wayne at their country club. “I couldn’t relate to his Southern manners at first,” says Paulina, who was 21 at the time. “I can be very opinionated.

But at our core, Dustin and I are the same and have the same values.”

Paulina and Dustin were the first in the family to move to Florida—for the golf courses—in 2015. Already engaged, they didn’t marry until seven years later, a delay that allowed Dustin to focus on winning the Masters. “The moment he won, I said, ‘Okay, we can get married,’” Paulina recalls. “The wedding became the priority, and everything fell into place.”

She turned to her mom during preparations for her April 2022 nuptials at Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee. Over the wedding weekend, mother and daughter wore a series of stunning designer dresses, with Paulina marrying in a custom Vera Wang beaded, sheer gown and Janet wearing Valentino and Dolce & Gabbana that night.

“We have very different tastes, but I know what looks best on her,” says Janet, whom Paulina often checks in with for garb guidance before public appearances.

“I love fashion and all things glam, and my mom does too,” says Paulina, who switched into a Naeem Khan minidress post-vows.

Janet notes that it was a natural fit for Paulina to marry an athlete, as she grew up seeing the partnership that the senior Gretzkys share.

“There’s a lot of knowing when to let them have the big light and when to walk beside them and be their support system,” says Janet. “It’s called support and protect. It takes a very strong and confident woman to be able to handle that.

They’re being pulled in every direction, and you’ve got to know how to swim through it.”

Now that Tatum and River are older, Paulina feels ready to launch a new venture. “It will definitely be in fashion, but you’ll have to wait and see,” she hints.

You can bet that Janet will be there to help if needed—especially as babysitter to her grandkids. “I just emptied the nest, and boom: I’m doing it all again,” she says. “And I love it. Once a child is in my life, I must take care of and protect them forever.” «

Michael Aram loves creating objects that enrich people’s lives. Trained as an artist, painter, sculptor, and art historian, Aram crafts handmade sculptures of the decorative arts. From tableware, home decor, and furniture to gifts, games, and jewelry, the artist is mesmerized by design.

“As a child, I needed to understand the world, the cycle of life,” says Aram, who was born in Providence, Rhode Island, but grew up in Scarsdale, New York.

“I did it through the creation of objects, like a doll house for my sister, and by spending hours in my family garden focusing on flowers and plants. Nature and the handmade process remain my major sources of inspiration.”

Since Aram’s father was an executive with Saks Fifth Avenue, Georg Jensen silverware, and Barney’s New York, he also remembers the sheer joy of visiting stores

with him. Today, his own Michael Aram branded household objects are carried by more than 1,000 stores in 60 countries worldwide, as well as locally at The Breakers, Mary Mahoney, Hive, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdale’s. In addition, he has flagship retail stores in Bal Harbour, Beverly Hills, and New York City, with a fourth scheduled to open soon at the Topanga Mall in California.

His collections illustrate the passion, parable, and poetry of the handmade process. For example, some of his metal serving pieces feature motifs inspired by his Armenian culture, including pomegranates, olive branches, and tree of life imagery. His Judaica Collection, inspired by nature, boasts objects like menorahs and mezuzahs. The pieces are filled with humanity, and he believes that they carry power.

“I love enriching people’s lives with meaning, especially the big moments around a table where important interactions take place with smiles,” he says. “I learned this through my parents. I watched as vases, bowls, dinner plates, cutlery, etc. were passed down through generations. I am blessed to be able to supply other people’s homes.”

Aram’s college education and magical moments during his 20s further influenced his career.

the University of Florence, where he was immersed in art history and studio art, he landed his first job designing books and posters for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. In 1988, he spent a month in India, where he discovered a world of craft that seemed as natural as Mother Earth.

“I had an aha moment, a mind-blowing experience where I saw craftspeople creating things,” he recalls of his time in the old city of Delhi, where he listened to the sound of metal being beaten as artisans made buckets, shovels, and scissors. “I stepped back into an Aladdin’s cave of craft where people had humble attitudes. I saw objects being extraordinarily made. I felt they were unappreciated.”

Although this trip was not meant to be a career opportunity for Aram (who was then 25 and sporting a ponytail), he learned the process of metalworking by observing craftsmen he encountered and was blessed that those he met were receptive to him and helped him create his first objects. These included shoehorns inspired by Alexander Calder, an artist whom Aram had long respected for his large-scale sculptures and fine-art pieces, as well as his comfort making home objects, children’s toys, and jewelry; candlesticks and cutlery, with shapes

reminiscent of the twigs and branches he collected on his morning walks; and steel bowls evocative of the large cooking vessels he saw craftsmen make for Indian weddings.

By 1989, he had opened his workshop in New Delhi, India. He still employs nearly 300 people and more than 200 artisans there and returns at least four times a year.

In 2007, Aram met his future husband, Aret Tikiryan, in New York. Coincidentally, both Armenian men were born in the same Providence, Rhode Island, hospital 10 years apart.

(Later, Aram’s aunt became Tikiryan’s Sunday school teacher.) Tikiryan worked as a pediatric occupational therapist before joining the Michael Aram company in 2018 and now serves as executive vice president.

The men, who were married in 2014, are fathers to twins Anabel and Thadeus, and share a dog named Rex. In 2020, the couple bought a two-story, Mediterranean-style home on Palm Beach that was built in 1921.

They live here full-time and love to entertain, much in the same way that their families did when they were children.

“

I LOVE ENRICHING PEOPLE’S LIVES WITH MEANING, ESPECIALLY THE BIG MOMENTS AROUND A TABLE WHERE IMPORTANT INTERACTIONS TAKE PLACE WITH SMILES.” —Michael Aram

This page, from left: Aram with daughter Anabel; Jewels of the Ocean raw bar presentation. Opposite page, from top: rack of lamb on Aram’s Goldsmith Dinnerware Dinner Plate; The Nest dessert in the Lovebirds Trinket Dish.

“My mom is an amazing cook,” Tikiryan says. “She and her friends volunteered at our church to do all the cooking and baking, then she would have her friends over for elaborate dinners. It was about abundance [and] she would send guests home with leftovers. We do the same.”

“I learned about formal entertaining from [my parents],” Aram adds. “We all feel a passion for what goes on the table, the design, the food, the happiness of the guests. But I prefer a less formal approach and am delighted with ‘open door, open heart.’”

The men divide hosting duties, with Aram setting the table and selecting the florals, and Tikiryan often handling the cooking. “We orchestrate our gatherings so everyone’s needs are met and at least one of us is sitting and engaging,” Tikiryan says.

For a recent nondenominational holiday party in their home, Aram greeted guests with a choice of several drinks served in his Rock Glass Collection: a signature Snow on the Beach martini (vodka, agave, cream of coconut, lime, and a coconut flake rim); Champagne HervieuxDumez Brut Nature, Premier Cru, Sacy, Champagne, NV; or a classic old-fashioned.

They were then escorted to the bar/dinette 118

area, which is dominated by a persimmoncolored bar with a Rosa Norvegia marble top designed by Aram with Tikiryan. “I wanted the bar to have a 1920s look because I love historic preservation,” says Aram, who incorporated fluted edges and round corners that speak to the aesthetic of the house.

Guests enjoyed a variety of appetizers from Creative Edge Parties, including kale Caesar salad bites, American Osetra caviar cannoli, and French onion soup grilled cheeses with mushroom consommé shots. There were also individual Jewels of the Ocean raw bars, presented in Aram’s Ocean Reef Oyster Jewel Nut Dish and consisting of Jonah crab claws with Dijonnaise sauce, jumbo shrimp with cocktail sauce, and Blue Point oysters with mignonette sauce.

Conversation centered around work, travel plans for the holidays, guests’ love of Palm Beach, and their admiration for Aram

and Tikiryan.

“They always put together different kinds of people with interesting backgrounds, a mix and match, which is all about the right energy,” says longtime friend René Fris, a celebrity hair stylist and former Bravo reality star. “I love coming from New York to Palm Beach for their parties because I get to sleep with Rex, their dog—my soulmate!”

Aram set the dining table near the swimming pool and fountain to reflect the holiday season Palm Beach style, the evening’s theme. The centerpiece included Aram’s gold Palm Candleholders in varying heights interspersed with pink, ocher, and white florals by Renny & Reed (café au lait dahlias, Japanese anemones, and toffee spray roses among them) displayed in Aram’s Single Orchid Bowls made of hand-textured stainless steel, natural brass, and white enamel.

Aram’s individual place settings featured

designs from his Goldsmith gold-rimmed porcelain dinnerware line over his Ivy & Oak silver chargers, with Molten gold flatware and more Rock Collection glassware inspired by jaggededged stone formations, rock and roll glamour, cubist forms, and Art Deco.

The place mats and napkins were created by the couple’s close friend, textiles designer Kim Seybert, another party guest from New York who has a Palm Beach home. “We spend holidays together, and I love their kids,” says Seybert. “Michael is an incredibly good man. He and Aret are great hosts and relaxed, special people.”

The guests were ushered to the table for a meal that Jeff Fowler, executive creative director of Creative Edge Parties, describes as an “Armenianinspired holiday dinner in the caterer’s fun style.”

The first course was Roasted Fairy Tale Eggplant, comprising roasted eggplant with a tahini sumac spread, pomegranate gems, and a za’atar sfoglie pastry dome with edible baby blossoms.

Master sommelier Virginia Philip paired the dish with the Valados de Melgaço Alvarinho Reserva, Monção e Malgaço, Portugal, 2020. After a passion fruit sorbet “caviar” palate cleanser (in the Lovebirds Nut Bowl), the main course was served: herb- and Dijon-crusted rack of lamb with an apple brandy demi-glace, candied brussels sprouts, and a butternut squash, leek, and Gruyère soufflé. Philip paired this course with a Magnum bottle of Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, 2018.

Dessert was The Nest, a white chocolate mousse with mango and a macadamia crunch robin’s egg. It was presented on Aram’s brass, marble, and white enamel Lovebirds Trinket Dish and paired with the Snow Ridge Gewürztraminer Icewine 2020 from Canada’s Niagara Peninsula.

“I like to use wine from different countries, and Canada is great for desserts,” Philip notes.

After dinner, guests sipped Tikiryan’s Armenian coffee, served in pieces from Aram’s elegant Palace Collection. As they prepared to depart, each was gifted with custom chocolates presented in a Michael Aram Heart Dish wrapped in cellophane with gold and silver ribbons. In addition, females received a hand-selected piece of jewelry from Aram’s new fashion jewelry line, Anabel Aram, named after his daughter, while males got a small, forged shoehorn, the first piece that Aram created years ago in India. « Clockwise from top right: passion fruit sorbet; tablescape; Elizabeth Rankin Geitz, Kim Seybert, Jill Falcigno, and Aram; Virginia Philip, Ann-Britt Angle, and Carla Ruben.

“There is one dish that my grandfather and grandmother used to make for Christmas that I keep in my heart: beef tortellini in homemade pomodoro sauce. All the ladies in the family were in charge of making the fresh tomato sauce, which usually took the whole day. My grandfather learned to make tortellini from his father. He would make the dough and the filling from scratch, and the whole family would bond together while ‘rolling them up,’ usually one day before Christmas. It was such a fun time, gathering all the family together around the table, kids running around and stealing the meat filling to eat.” (galleywestpalmbeach.com)

The aroma of the meat being cooked fills the air as the cornmeal mixture is being formed, filled, and pressed.

Hometown: Syosset, New York “My greatest culinary memories are of the celebration of Hanukkah. Every year, my mother would dust off her electric griddle, the one that lay dormant all year in the lower basement of our home, waiting for its opportunity to shine. This was a time to rejoice and for family to come together. But most importantly, as a child, it was a time to receive gifts. But what I did not realize was that the real gifts I received were not the Cabbage Patch doll nor the Nintendo game [but] the memories. I can still smell the pungent odor of onions being grated, transforming into the delicious smells of potatoes crisping in oil, symbolizing the miracle of the oil burning for eight days. These are the gifts that I look to pass along to my children, except as a chef I have upgraded from an electric griddle at home to a plancha in my restaurant kitchen.” (alleycatboca.com)

“Roasted duck is a favorite of my family on Christmas Day, and it’s on the Le Colonial menu as well. A common assumption is that all ducks from Asian cuisine are Chinese Peking duck, yet that’s not the case in Vietnam. Saigon cuisine was strongly influenced by haute French cuisine, hence roasted duck is very common in the area. At Le Colonial, we dry age the duck for sevenplus days, creating a dense duck flavor with nutty and rich notes. This process causes the natural enzymes to break down, which makes the duck even more tender. As a result, the skin will be crispy on the outside and extremely juicy on the inside.” (delraybeach.lecolonial.com)

RECENT Openings At its new outpost in Boca Raton, Meat Market slings steaks and sultry cocktails.

The Palm Beach location of Meat Market has been a favorite of the island’s style set for many years. Now, South County diners can savor the same chef-driven steak house dishes and sexy ambience without having to brave I-95. In October, Meat Market opened in Midtown Boca Raton, debuting a 6,000-square-foot dining space as well as a happy hour and dinner menu dotted with Wagyu offerings, sushi, seafood, and more. The restaurant began serving lunch and weekend brunch in November. It will also operate Wet by Meat Market at the pool of the adjacent Renaissance Hotel, which is undergoing a multimillion-dollar renovation. (meatmarket.net)

In Central County, The House is now open at The Park, a public golf facility in West Palm Beach. At the helm is chef Jason Van Bomel, a West Palm native who previously led the kitchen at Jupiter’s 1000 North. For The House, Van Bomel has crafted a menu indebted to his South Florida upbringing, featuring coastal-inspired fare such as a Florida snapper trio, spiny lobster corndogs, and wood-fire pizza with clams.

Open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, The House embraces its golf course surrounds with indoor-outdoor vibes and a welcoming atmosphere that reflects The Park’s “open golf for all ages and levels” ethos. (thehousewestpalm.com) —M.M.

SAVOR WE TRIED IT

COOKING FOR A CAUSE I consider myself an adventurous eater and a solid home cook, but baking is not my forte. So, when the opportunity came to participate in one of Feeding South Florida’s new hands-on cooking classes, I immediately signed up for “French Patisserie.” The chance to increase my dessert repertoire was the main appeal. The fact that I would end up leaving with a plate of eclairs was just a bonus.

Feeding South Florida aims to end hunger in the region by providing access to nutritious food, leading hunger and poverty advocacy efforts, and transforming lives through innovative programming and education. Proceeds from the classes—which cost $60 per person and take place in the organization’s Community Kitchen in Boynton Beach—support the nonprofit’s work. Chef Susan Taves, the organization’s director of culinary services, instructs small groups on that class’ chosen topic, ranging from patisserie to pad thai.

After my two-hour class, I left with a better understanding of the basics of choux dough and the baking

phenomenon known as oven spring. I also gained valuable insight into sweets in general, such as water is chocolate’s No. 1 enemy as it will cause it to seize and thicken. More specific to eclairs, I learned that the secret to filling them is to wait “until they sing,” meaning until you can hear a light relief of air.

Feeding South Florida hosts its cooking classes monthly. Next up are a beef (or beet) Wellington class December 12, where attendees will learn how to make this iconic dish as well as a cranberry feta dip for the holidays, and a homemade pasta class January 17.

Ode to an Apple

L EL VI CO CA S E C N FRA

THIS FESTIVE FRUIT PLAYS A STARRING ROLE IN WINTRY CELEBRATIONS

BY JULES ARON

With apples being one of the few winter fruits available around the world during the season of cheer, is it any wonder that the crisp, crimson pome found its way into so many holiday traditions? In pagan times, individuals decorated trees with apples, fruits, and nuts during the winter solstice, a practice that Christians eventually adopted.

As part of Rosh Hashanah, Jewish families dip apple slices into honey to represent their hope for a sweet and fruitful year ahead.

Apples are often used as decorations, as in a pomander, from the French pomme d’ambre, where cloves are pierced into the flesh of an apple and incorporated into a holiday centerpiece. They are also often given as stocking stuffers and gifts.

In Eastern European Christmas traditions, young men gift decorated apples to young women. In Asian stores, you may find apples wrapped in festive paper ready for gifting.

For me, there’s no better way to celebrate the season than with a crisp, sparkling bevvy. With so many indulgent meals and heavy drinks during December, a light and bright apple sparkler is simply rejuvenating. Here’s one I’m loving this month.

X Holiday Orchard Ingredients 1 1/2 oz. Upstate Vodka, a handcrafted, apple-based spirit 1 oz. fresh-pressed apple juice 1/ 2 oz. fresh-pressed ginger juice 1/ 2 oz. chai-spiced syrup 2 oz. sparkling cider

FROM CIT Y TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

Going Strong The owner of this Palm Beach apartment tasked Courtney Davis Design with creating an interior in stark contrast to her fulltime residence in Pennsylvania that skews more traditional. Davis took the plain white space and infused it with modern character, strong color, and “wow” moments while maintaining a calming, sophisticated vibe.

“Our firm meticulously chose quality pieces and design elements that reflect the homeowner, who is endlessly chic and interesting,” says Davis. “Taking initial design inspiration from her bold art collection, we walked the line between being edgy and timeless.”

To help tie the living and dining areas together, Davis called upon local artist Joseph Steiert to paint a graphic pattern onto the white grass cloth ceiling. “This strong design element inspired us to keep the spaces high contrast, with a neutral backdrop, striking art, and clean lines that contrast antique pieces,” Davis adds.

While the visual impact is apparent, Davis explains that these rooms are also highly functional and can accommodate the client’s three grown sons and their friends when they visit. The custom sectional by O. Henry House, for example, fits the whole family for football games and pulls out into a queen-size bed. Jupiter (courtneydavis design.com) —Liza Grant Smith

TURN UP THE HEAT WITH SOME MODERN TWISTS ON TRADITIONAL FIREPLACES

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

If you think fireplaces are only for roasting chestnuts and hanging stockings, then you are missing out on their aesthetic potential.

While our subtropical temperatures may designate South Florida an atypical setting for fire features, modern applications have recast them as stylish showstoppers capable of delivering visual sizzle. Here are a few of their latest starring roles, with some eye-catching local examples.

ON ACCENT WALLS With advances in electric fireplaces, design options are no longer weighed down by chimney requirements (sorry, Santa). Many homeowners are taking advantage of this carte-blanche opportunity to create accent walls around their fireplaces. Materials can include everything from marble, onyx, and stone, to more unconventional choices like leather or a dynamic wallcovering. The narrow rectangular styling of many electronic fireplaces, plus the absence of a mantle, puts an exclamation point on the impact of the wall itself. While stunning in a main living room, this concept is scalable and can also be employed in rooms with smaller walls, such as bedrooms. Thanks to this trend, the new buzzwords in fireplace design are “bold” and “luxurious.”

Using innovative materials for large-scale fireplace surrounds creates captivating statement walls (The Decorators Unlimited, far left and left; Marc-Michaels Interior Design, above; and Ellish Builders, opposite page, left), while leaving a fireplace open (Nikki Levy Interiors, below) or two-sided (HW Interiors, opposite page, right) adds sophistication and can improve the flow of a space.

AS A ROOM-FLOW FACILITATOR See-through fireplaces are an exciting way to double a fixture’s design impact while maintaining a home’s open concept. This type of fireplace may be fitted with glass on opposing sides or up to four sides for a dramatic, 360-degree effect. It’s a smart option for when you want to divide a space without impeding the visual flow and light between two areas.

IN NEW SURROUNDS While fireplaces have historically been common features in traditional homes, they’re becoming more and more popular within a range of architectural styles. Customizing a fireplace to fit a room’s mood allows it to go anywhere from modern to Moroccan and deliver the same finishing effect as it does in more traditional rooms—if not more. Playing with the texture and color of the backdrop will help to harmonize the space for a consistent design statement. The idea is to work toward an effortless feel where all the elements play off one another.

AS A NO-HEAT SHOWPIECE No more waiting for a chilly night to light the fire: electric fireplaces are now available in no-heat varieties, meaning you can turn one on to enhance a room’s ambience without raising its temp. While you may opt for a traditional log-and-flame look, these trending alternatives are often Wi-Fi-enabled and allow you to control the flame color (including golden yellow, purple, and rose), brightness level, flickering effects, and ambient crackling sound, if desired.

IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS Fireplaces on patios and within pool environs remain popular. They are often installed under televisions to complete a wall and add a dynamic pop of color thanks to their new flame features.

And with the installation of a see-through fireplace, you are afforded views of both your backyard tableau and your favorite sporting event without having to leave your cushy chaise lounge.

WOODEN IT BE NICE?

WOOD YOU PLEASE? Designer Nina Williams of Nina Williams Interiors strategized her use of wood in this modern kitchen with an industrial feel. “Adding warm, distressed wood details brings a great contrast to the space and softens the otherwise cold, stark feeling,” she says. “The gunmetal gray on the island cabinets sets the stage to emphasize and display the wood tones on the stools. In similar fashion, the wood countertop detail is made important by the cold, shiny quartz on the rest of the island. The textured floating shelves and hood are up against a backdrop of white tile, creating contrast and leading the eye to appreciate the distressed quality of the wood.”

COURTESY OF THE PRESERVATION FOUNDATION OF PALM BEACH

John and Jane Volk would be considered a power couple by today’s standards. A union of an architect and a historian can yield the greatest of results: the will to build and the perseverance to protect those buildings. The Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach recently published a monograph on the Volks, Palm Beach Style: The Architecture and Advocacy of John and Jane Volk. Written by Jane S. Day, this love letter to Palm Beach captures the range of John Volk’s prolific 60-year career and focuses on his work in town, including these three projects that left an indelible mark on Palm Beach.

X 1. CLASSIC PALM BEACH: ADAMS RESIDENCE, 1930 Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Adams commissioned this Mediterranean Revival masterpiece, which was later designated as a landmark in 1989. In order to obtain the green light to move forward with the design, Volk traveled with a model of the house to Cuba to present it to the clients. The triumphal arch leading to the entrance courtyard is one of the most distinguishing features on El Bravo Way.

2. TRANSFORMING PALM BEACH: EVERGLADES ARCADE, 1964 Volk built upon existing structures in town, such as Mizner’s Everglades Arcade on the 300 block of Worth Avenue. His design relates to the arcade across the street on the north side, while giving it a fresh, modernized, Mediterranean Revival facade. Here, the arch centers the assortment of shops.

3. FORGOTTEN PALM BEACH: LA RONDA, 1973 Commissioned by publisher, artist, and patron of the arts J. James Akston, La Ronda was a decidedly modern departure for Volk. Its sculptural forms, which boast no right angles, stood out on North Lake Way. In 2003, after many hearings and discussions to define what makes it worth preserving, La Ronda was lost to the wrecking ball.

Clockwise from top right: Adams residence; Everglades Arcade; Jane and John Volk; La Ronda.

DAVID BERNER

As a licensed therapist, recovering alcoholic, and mother whose child struggled with depression and anxiety for most of his youth, Allison Bishop Berner has seen the positive impact of experimental therapy firsthand. Her son, Brooks, pursued surfing as a way to alleviate the symptoms of his mental health issues, and inspired by its effectiveness, Berner founded Stoked on Life. The organization brings the healing power of surfing to the local community—particularly young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 who have the highest rates of mental health and addiction issues. As Berner explains, research has shown that surfing and ocean therapy can help those who struggle with these concerns by increasing mindfulness, building self-efficacy, and activating a “state of flow” to reduce depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms and lower cravings for drugs and alcohol. Stoked on Life’s four- and eight-week clinics, community drop-in sessions, and private sessions are all co-facilitated by licensed clinicians and certified surf instructors, who utilize leading surf therapy curriculum from San Diego’s Groundswell Community Project.

HAPPY Trails

A seasoned expert in finance and investing, Palm Beacher Max Ansbacher is also a happiness coach and the author of A Practical Guide to Happiness: How to Bring Optimism, Confidence, and Self Esteem into Your Life (available at the Classic Bookshop). On December 14, he will lead a happiness workshop at Restaurant 44 on Palm Beach. Here, he shares advice on how to embark on a path to happiness. (203-982-3403) —L.G.S. PBI: How does your background in finance influence your approach to the subject of happiness?

Ansbacher: On Wall Street, everything is very precise and measured. If you buy a stock, it either goes up or down, so that is how you gauge your results and success.

I took that type of thinking into studying the art of happiness. The gold standard is the 85-year Harvard Longitudinal Study on Happiness, where hundreds of people were interviewed over decades to uncover the secrets of their mental and emotional wellness. Their findings, along with my own, formed my approach, which has resonated with readers.

What are the three keys you identify for finding happiness?

Want what you have. This means want and value what you already have in your life. Most people when asked to say [what] they want, respond by listing what they don’t have. Some things they want are unrealistic, which leads to unhappiness.

Be true to your own values. What are your core values? Where do you get your identity from? [What] represents the best part of you? Sometimes a proud father would have to choose between his golf club tournament and his daughter’s basketball championship. If being a good father is one of your

main values, the choice is easy—cheer on your daughter!

Treasure your friendships. You need to bring people into your life or, in some cases, back into your life. The Harvard study concluded that good relationships keep us healthy and happy and help us live longer.

Happy people have solid friendships with people whom they trust and who have their back. Happy people appreciate that they have wonderful friends, and they are lucky to have them.

Once you’ve found happiness, how do you maintain it in your life?

You follow these key rules and practice them every day. As one would go to the gym for physical fitness, you train yourself with these exercises for emotional wellness on a constant basis. For example, you not only maintain your friends, but you also nourish them. Write them a note, call them just to tell them you appreciate them, and give honest compliments.

From the very beginning of Ivey Leidy’s career in the health and wellness space, she has been dedicated to helping people improve the quality of their health by making realistic, attainable changes to their lifestyles. Now she is taking it a step further with the opening of a one-stop shop, the Living with Ivey Boutique. What was once a Cartier store in Palm Beach’s storied Paramount Building has been transformed into a welcoming, inspiring, and fun shop with high-quality, clean products— everything from Teflon-free dental floss to anti-aging skin care, makeup, apparel, home fragrances, and more.

“When the idea came about for a Living with Ivey brickand-mortar,” says Leidy, “I really wanted to create an environment where the customer could truly ‘live with Ivey,’ whether it’s trying on jewelry, makeup, or a fragrance, buying swim trunks or loafers for your husband, simply relaxing on the sofa (the husband sofa), or even playing backgammon at our rattan backgammon table. I think there is a little something for everyone.” (livingwithivey.com) —L.G.S.

Alexander J. Covey, MD

WHAT IS YOUR SPECIALITY?

I specialize in cosmetic and laser surgery, including facial and body rejuvenation. I am well known for my liquid facelift technique, which uses injectables such as Botox and Dysport, wrinkle fillers, and Kybella to restore lost facial volume and reestablish youthful contours, unlike surgical facelifts which may leave you looking taut and stretched.

ARE YOU EVER TOO OLD FOR COSMETIC TREATMENTS?

Absolutely not! People today are living longer, healthier lives and want to look as good on the outside as they feel on the inside. There is no age restriction on wanting to look your best. I treat many patients in their late 80s and 90s. For patients who find it difficult to get to the office, we have a concierge house call service offering injectable treatments performed in the comfort and privacy of their own homes.

WHY CHOOSE ALEXANDER J. COVEY MD OVER OTHER PHYSICIANS IN THE AREA?

I personally perform all injectable treatments to help you look refreshed and more beautiful. I am dedicated to helping my patients look and feel their best at any age without surgery. I use a uniquely tailored treatment plan to provide natural results that leave you feeling confident and younger-looking. You will look like yourself, only better.

Overseeing a stable of magazines, shuttling teenagers to school and activities, serving the community, and keeping some semblance of a social life doesn’t leave a lot of time for personal maintenance. For preservation of sanity, I have structured my maintenance routine around treatments that give me the most mileage (hello, gel manicures) for the least amount of time in the salon. With help from TikTok and Pinterest, I’ve found hacks for everything—except hair color.

I admit that I dread spending four hours in the colorist’s chair for highlights that look great for a while but inevitably need glossing or toning (maintenance within maintenance!) to avoid looking like Christmas tinsel. So, what to do?

The answer came to me by way of my daughter’s favorite beauty TikTokers, who swear by longwearing “lived-in” color. Lived-in brunette hair is highlighted in a way that looks blended and natural, as if you were born this way.

It’s also low-maintenance because it fades organically and grown-out roots are part of the look.

Sign me up.

For this style, the hair artist is everything. I chose Macy Danza, the owner of Luxe and Mane salon in West Palm Beach and

WALD CREATIVE

a dimensional color specialist. A lived-in brunette herself, Danza is a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader and, not surprisingly, she’s a bundle of energy and good vibes.

The lived-in look can be done by balayage or foils (for my hair, she chose foils), but it’s less about the what than the how. Watching Danza meticulously separate and paint individual strands was like watching an artist get a sunset just right. To blend the color and add dimension, she put in a shadow root, which subtly fades the color into the roots. It’s the lived-in brunette’s secret weapon.

The result? My teenager said it best: “Your hair looks great, but it doesn’t look like you colored it.”

I’ll take that as a compliment. (luxeandmanesalon.com) —Daphne Nikolopoulos

A NEW LIGHT

THE PROS OF SOAKING UP THE SUN

BY TAMMY FENDER

Winter is a wonderful time to celebrate light— the light that surrounds us every day and the light at the center of many holiday traditions around the world.

This momentum is never easier to embrace than when you are in Palm Beach come December. Is there anything more inspiring than the light at golden hour, when a shimmer runs through the trees and reflects off the water? We all feel it: the blessing of finding ourselves in one of the most spectacularly beautiful places at just the right moment. The light casts an aura over the whole region, and it feels so generous to be a part of it.

I think about the animals at our house, especially our dogs, who always seem to poke around the garden until they find the sunniest spot for a nap.

Something in us just craves the sunlight during this time of year.

Of course, researchers have found that sunlight initiates vitamin D production, which helps the body absorb essential nutrients and is believed to trigger the release of serotonin, an important mood-boosting hormone. While we need to be cautious in overindulging in the sun, taking in the morning light while in nature has uplifting benefits that you can feel immediately.

Heading out into the 182

sun within the first hours of waking enhances our vitality in a way that’s physiologically significant.

It increases our cortisol levels at a time of day when that alertness is very beneficial. It can also help to support our immune system and metabolism, as well as sharpen our ability to focus all day long. Spending just 5 to 10 minutes in the a.m. sun—walking through your garden, reading a book, sipping your morning drink outdoors—regulates the body’s internal clock, setting us in tune with nature and helping to manage our cycles of hunger and sleep. In the

same way, going outside again in the late afternoon, when the light is low in the sky, can help the body transition toward sleep, creating another physiological touchpoint.

If life seems to be moving too fast, consider all the above as a great reason to slow down and get into the sun for a moment or two. Discovering new ways to enjoy, absorb, and reflect the light with our own gestures is a true pleasure when living in a place where we are surrounded by such shimmering, glimmering possibilities. «

Moderate exposure to the sun at this time of year can support physical and mental well-being.

RIDING THE WAVE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, HIGH INFLATION IS HERE TO STAY

BY SHELDON ZOLDAN

Some factors influencing inflation in the United States include the economic aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain Federal Reserve policy decisions, particularly in regard to interest rates.

Shoppers don’t need the Consumer Price Index to tell them this is the worst inflation since the 1980s. All they must do is walk down a grocery aisle, pump gas, or book a flight.

Inflation peaked in June 2022 at 9.1 percent, and 2022 ended with a year-over-year rate of 6.5 percent. While these numbers are still below 1980’s rate of 13.5 percent, the cause for rising prices now is the same as it was in 1980, 1974, 1947, and 1918, the worst periods of inflation in the United States in the last 105 years.

“Inflation is always the result of too rapid growth of the money supply,” says Randall Holcombe, an economics professor at Florida State University.

The inflation the country is currently experiencing fits into this paradigm, with the COVID pandemic acting as a catalyst. When lockdowns occurred in March 2020, businesses closed, people lost their jobs, and unemployment rose to 14.8 percent by April 2020. The gross domestic product, which measures the production of goods and services, fell sharply, decreasing at an annual rate of 32.9 percent during the second quarter of 2020.

The federal government took action to mitigate this economic fallout. All in all, it spent roughly $5 trillion in pandemic stimulus money, according to a 2022 report by The New York Times. As part of its immediate response, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) purchased billions of dollars of treasury- and mortgage-backed securities and cut the federal funds rate to a range of zero to .25 percent to support spending. This increase in the growth rate of the money supply, coupled with broken supply chain issues and, later, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have likely led to the current inflation crisis.

There is this idea that economists and central bankers are always fighting the last war, says William Luther, an economics professor at Florida Atlantic University. The philosophy in the late 1960s and ’70s was an expansionary monetary policy, where central bankers believed they needed to in-

184 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

184_WEALTH_1223.indd 184

10/26/23 9:34 AM

crease spending to keep unemployment low. The practice didn’t work, and it caused the stubborn inflation of the 1970s and ’80s.

The Fed had to make painful, tightening monetary policy decisions—such as 18 percent interest rates—to snuff it out.

When faced with the economic hardships of 2008, the Fed didn’t want to make the same mistakes it made three decades earlier. “So, in 2008, instead of monetary policy being too loose, as it had been in the 1970s, it was too tight, and it caused the recession to be much deeper than it needed to be and last much longer than it needed to,” Luther explains.

This recent example was front of mind for central bankers in 2020. “It seems at least with the benefit of hindsight, the Federal Reserve overreacted, engaged in monetary policy that was too loose, and brought about significant inflation as a consequence,” Luther continues.

He adds that, by the late summer and early fall of 2021, the Fed should have realized that prices were rising even though output was recovering. Therefore, this was not a production problem, but rather a spending problem. Had the Fed started raising interest rates by October 2021, Luther believes inflation wouldn’t have increased at such a rapid pace. But the Fed didn’t start raising interest rates until March 2022, and that was only by a quarter point, from an upper bound of .25 percent to .5 percent. In total, the Fed has raised interest rates 11 times, going from an upper bound of .25 percent to 5.5 percent (as of October 2023).

However, as the late Nobel laureate and economist Milton Friedman once observed, there are long and variable lags between changes in policy and shifts in the economy. Many economists predict that inflation will remain below 5 percent this year, and the Fed has said that inflation will be el-

evated into 2025, when it should return to its targeted 2 percent.

Could the long and variable lag mean a recession is still eminent? The odds remain high, due in no small part to the Fed’s course-correcting tight monetary policy.

“That’s what happens when you fight inflation,” Holcombe says. “You end up having an economic downturn.” «

LAST WORD

You’ve been with the brand from the beginning. What has that evolution meant to you?

Jimmy Choo is my working life.

I’ve lived and breathed it my whole career, so my creative decisions are instinctive. My background and training were in women’s, which I have always been passionate about, but the addition of men’s has been something I really enjoy. It demands a different approach but with the same level of detail. I relish new challenges, and I am fortunate that Jimmy Choo is such a dynamic brand allowing me to work on products beyond shoes to grow our offerings, including accessories, fragrance, eyewear, and jewelry.

What’s been Jimmy Choo’s most memorable moment in modernday media?

Sex and the City was a cultural milestone for women; to be part of a show that was such a cultural phenomenon propelled the brand name globally. The impact of the show on fashion was huge, and we definitely felt the benefit.

Tell us about the collaboration collection between Jean Paul Gaultier and Jimmy Choo.

REAL TALK WITH...

Sandra Choi

Jimmy Choo’s creative director dishes on new icons and the brand’s enduring legacy

BY KATHERINE LANDE

Jimmy Choo offers a range of products, including styles created for the brand’s collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier (inset and top right).

Jean Paul Gaultier is an icon— as a man and as a brand. I was honored and incredibly excited to be able to reinterpret his legacy, the meaning of his work and his world, alongside Florence Tétier through the lens of Jimmy Choo.

What I found was a kindred spirit, both in Gaultier as a house and in Florence as a woman. We share outlooks and beliefs that we were able to translate to this collection, which celebrates craft, the distinct DNA of both these beloved brands, and—appropriately enough—the power and strength of individuality.

What was the design inspiration for the new Drop heel?

The statement, at Jimmy Choo, always comes from the form of the shoe itself: each piece is conceived as objet d’art, a wearable, walkable expression of creativity and design mastery. The Drop heel is a striking style with a rounded heel tip. It evokes an impossible fluidity—the notion of walking balanced on a droplet of liquid.

What’s your favorite holiday tradition?

On Christmas Eve, I always cook a Chinese banquet for the family at home in London or anywhere we happen to be in the world. It’s something we all look forward to, embracing both cultures. It’s a labor of love, and everyone gets involved in the kitchen.
