PASSPORT EDITED BY kelley marcellus

A Playful Spirit There is true wisdom in the innocence of a child: Living in the moment and playing with abandon are qualities we should all embrace—at least more frequently than our busy lives allow. Situated in the heart of America’s most renowned winter playground, The Breakers is the ultimate place to indulge the child within. On our golden shores and in our legendary spaces, playtime is all the time, and free-spirited fun is yours for the taking.

DOING THE RIGHT THING

At The Breakers, hospitality is more than a business; it’s also a guiding principal that reaches well beyond the gleaming, welcoming spaces at One South County Road.

The Breakers has a long-standing tradition of community outreach, and resort management encourages its 1,800 employees to find a way to make a difference. New in the last year is the concept of VTO, or Volunteer Time Off. Full-time team members receive two paid days off to donate their time and talent to various nonprofit, community-based organizations. In addition, resort managers are increasingly using volunteer opportunities as team-building activities. Rather than taking a retreat for department-wide camaraderie, for example, some teams are heading to Habitat for Humanity to spend a day helping build a home for a deserving family.

“Our employees are taking helping others to a level we could have never predicted,”

Great Things to Do With Kids 1

Paint your piggies. Moms, grab your girls (ages 6 and older, please) and head to The Spa for a good-for-you pedicure featuring Piggy Polish, nail lacquer that comes in a rainbow of colors. Best of all, its formaldehyde-, Toluene- and DBP-free formula leaves only shine and sparkle, with none of the worries of traditional polishes.

2

Dive in. Kids 8 and older can participate in poolside scuba and snorkeling lessons, and may even have the chance to explore the sunken pier off The Breakers’ beaches.

3

Hit the Trail. Take the family on a bicycle tour of Palm Beach and watch the island’s colorful history come to life. Rentals are available and guided tours depart from the Family Entertainment Center.

says Jacquelyn McCann, director of team member services and community outreach.

For instance, when the resort’s catering department received their holiday gift cards, team members pooled their cards to purchase toys to donate to Easter Seals. When word got out that some Breakers volunteers were cooking dinners at Quantum House (a temporary home for the families of critically ill children), President Paul Leone rolled up his sleeves to lend a hand.

When the renovation and updating of all guest rooms was completed in November 2011, the hotel was left with a significant amount of furniture that could no longer be used.

“We contacted an area homeless resource center and partnered with Goodwill Industries” to remove and distribute the furniture, McCann says. “It’s fulfilling knowing that a little bit of The Breakers was going to people who could really use it.”

Even guests are getting in on the action.

For a corporate team-building activity at the resort, attendees once built bicycles that were later donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs.

“Given the opportunity, people are excited to make a difference in something that is bigger than themselves,” McCann says.

Fit to a Tee Confidence in one’s golf game often comes down to the right tools.

Using high-tech monitoring equipment in outdoor-course circumstances, the John Webster Golf Academy at The Breakers, a Titleist Advanced Fitting Works location, has four specialists who can help you make the most of your game whether you’re a beginner or preparing for the PGA Tour.

“Technology absolutely plays a role in how well you golf,” says John Webster, director of golf instruction and one of four Titleist Prominent Fitters nationwide. "When you invest in new equipment, you want to do it wisely.

You should know what you have purchased will be the best for your game."

Webster and his team can help you evaluate the clubs you currently own or help you build a set from scratch. They start with an interview process during which they glean information like how often you play and whether you play other sports.

From there, everything is customized. Newer players might need a club that’s lighter with a component of give, while pros can handle something stiffer and heavier. Juniors are encouraged to be custom-fit annually because their strength and size is rapidly evolving.

onstrate successful technique.”

The Golf Academy is home to many acclaimed Tour players—Justin Hicks, Mathias Grönberg and Nicole Hage, to name a few—but Webster gives equal credit to the program’s accomplished amateur and collegiate players.

“We love to work from the bottom up,” he says.

The Golf Academy has a popular juniors program for children aged 5-12, though instruction can start even earlier. Allan Kournikova, brother to tennis great Anna, is an accomplished junior at age 7. He became a student at the Golf Academy before his second birthday.

Of course, you needn’t be an aspiring pro or even a competitive amateur to find your place at the Golf Academy. Clinics for resort guests and members are popular most Saturday afternoons, and private evaluation and instruction are available for players of every level. The Golf Academy has locations at the Ocean Course, as well as the Rees Jones Course at Breakers West. Both offer indoor/outdoor hitting bays, state-of-the-art multi-angle digital recording equipment with mounted LCD screens for swing analysis, putting and short-game greens, and the opportunity to tackle a variety of obstacles. n

The Breakers offers two extraordinary golf courses to suit the fancy of every golfer. ● The Ocean Course was built adjacent to the resort property in 1896, making it the oldest 18-hole layout in Florida.

Extensively renovated in 2000, the par-70 course offers charm that appeals to casual players, and the challenges of ocean breezes, narrow fairways and elevated greens that will challenge even skillful players. 561-659-8407 ● The Breakers Rees Jones Course is located in the Breakers West residential community, 10 miles from the resort. The par-72 championship course was redesigned by famed golf course architect Rees Jones in 2004, and offers challenging terrain and the opportunity to exercise sharp technical skills. 561-653-6320

PASSPORT SPOTLIGHT

Well-Rooted Charm Mark Reid

LILA PHOTO

Director of Golf and Grounds Maintenance

“I cut the grass and trim the hedges,” Mark Reid says by way of introduction, though the director of golf and grounds maintenance is quick to point out that at The Breakers, hedge trimming is not a task measured in minutes. “Four and a half miles of them,” he says, with a rakish smile surfacing. “By the time we finish, it’s time to start again.”

Mowing and trimming are just the tip of the iceberg comprising Reid’s duties. With a crew of 65 turf managers, groundskeepers and mechanics, the Australian native is a second-generation expert in agronomics—the science of plant and soil management—who ensures that every corner of the resort and its two golf courses is manicured, maintained and reinvented each season.

Back home, his father had built a 44-year career as a golf superintendent with courses in Victoria, Australia. The United States, and especially Palm Beach County, presented opportunities Reid knew would help build his career, so he came stateside in the mid-1990s to participate in a 12-month program offered through Ohio State University.

Now he is doing his part to share a love for the land with the next generation. “I brought my 8-year-old son out to the Ocean Course, gave him a handful of flags and instructed him to help mark the sprinklers for aeration,” he says. “And his reaction was, ‘Dad, this is the best fun there is.’”

While it can be fun, the work is tremendous. Reid and his team manage 140 acres at the resort and 220 acres at the Breakers West Club and Rees Jones Course. Plantings are changed out at least four times a year. “That’s 80,000 times someone has to insert a plant,” Reid remarks, adding that digging the hole is only part of an equation. It also encompasses amending the soil, fertilizing and pest control.

The biggest challenge, however, isn’t in the numbers but in Mother Nature’s obstacles. Reid and his crew cover the property daily, looking for early signs of potential issues.

“We pick up on the smallest changes in plant characteristics to stay ahead of the curve and control them,” Reid says. “It’s a good thing we turf growers and landscapers get a little claustrophobic inside four walls.” n

Go Slow

THE SPA AT THE BREAKERS

LILA PHOTO

The world moves at a frenetic pace. Even if we realize it’s important to schedule “me time,” we find it difficult to disconnect.

“It’s a frantic lifestyle,” says Tricia Taylor, general manager of The Breakers, whose wide-ranging responsibilities include The Spa. “We have clients who actually rush through their spa appointments, arriving the moment their 50-minute treatment is supposed to start, disrobing in a hurry, and then spending their time in the treatment room worrying about the next thing they have to do.”

Medical research suggests ongoing levels of high stress can have a negative impact on our health and emotional well-being. According to studies, stress can worsen heart conditions, bring on migraine headaches, affect our blood sugar and metabolism, and be a source of anxiety or depression. It may even accelerate the aging process.

Enter the Slow Beauty movement.

Conceptualized by Shel Pink, founder of the SpaRitual vegan nail-care line offered at The Spa at The Breakers, Slow Beauty advocates introspection—going off the grid and focusing on personal wellness.

“Slow movement is not about moving at a snail’s pace,” says Amy Retay, director of The Spa. “It’s about living better by striking a balance between fast and slow.”

In terms of The Spa experience, that means arriving to appointments unhurriedly and spending a few moments relaxing poolside, in the serene spa sanctuary or in the spa lounges. This intentional slowing down allows you to unplug from life’s to-dos and ease into just being in the moment.

The Spa offers a complete menu of services designed to pamper body, mind and spirit, including the signature Orchidée Impériale and Abeille Royale facials (both featuring Guerlain’s luxurious skin-care products), customized massages and a diverse range of fitness classes, many of which are held outdoors. It’s always a good idea to spend a few extra moments in the steam room, or simply reflecting, before returning to the outside world.

The Spa at The Breakers is embracing the ideals of Slow Beauty by adding mindfulness classes to its fitness program, as well as an on-site wellness coach.

“Slowing down and being mindful is a balm for the spirit,” Retay says. “It can really adjust your perspective.” n

History IN THE

(re)making

A prime destination for the new jet set, HMF (right) features handcrafted cocktails and sharing plates with remarkably focused flavors.

The backbone of Palm Beach’s social history, the Florentine Room has been reimagined for the twenty-first century. Welcome to HMF and the modern Palm Beach cocktail party.

It’s not easy to reinvent a legend.

Even so, that was the decision the executive team of The Breakers made a little more than a year ago. Their mission: to introduce a vibrant new concept for the legendary Florentine Room, previous home of L’Escalier and the Tapestry Bar. Their challenge: to maintain the integrity of the space while infusing it with a new sense of relevance.

Enter famed hospitality designer Adam D. Tihany, who acted as a design consultant to the architectural firm of Peacock + Lewis in the project. “It’s a very sensitive space, the historical heart of the hotel,” says Tihany.

“You have to be conscious of the past and all the memories contained within it. You have to

keep the bones of the place intact, but transplant a new heart into it.”

This season, The Breakers has unveiled HMF, a dramatically new drinking and eating experience. Bearing the initials of Henry Morrison Flagler, the man who built the hotel and opened up Palm Beach for tourism, the space is both relaxed and interactive. HMF pays homage to the glamorous, golden era of Palm Beach entertaining, with a mission to restore and refresh the rituals of the cocktail culture—a new interpretation of the classic Palm Beach cocktail party.

Tihany is no stranger to historic properties.

He restored the King David Hotel in Jerusalem as well as Manhattan’s Villard Houses, one

The tension between the historical and the contemporary gives birth to the new identity of the room.

of the few registered interior landmarks in New York City, and is currently working on redesigning The Beverly Hills Hotel. In all, he has designed over 300 hospitality interiors in the span of his 35plus-year career, including hotels, restaurants and public spaces around the world.

History buffs will recall the present hotel structure is actually the third incarnation of The Breakers. Originally built in 1896, the hotel accommodated tourists who came to Palm Beach on Flagler’s ambitious East Coast Florida Railway. The building was destroyed by fire in 1903 and again in 1925. From the time it reopened in 1926 until 1990, the Florentine Dining Room was the place where all guests ate both breakfast and dinner. The restaurant accommodated 750 diners who were serenaded by a 16-piece orchestra and pampered by tableside cooking. After The Breakers eliminated the Modified American Meal Plan in 1990, the space was subdivided into the Tapestry Bar and the Florentine Room; L’Escalier, the acclaimed gastronomic restaurant, opened in 2000.

“We were very proud of L’Escalier,” says The Breakers President Paul Leone, “but our guests were asking for a different style of dining and socializing. They didn’t necessarily want to spend three hours in the restaurant, or be restricted by the demands of a formal, high-end dining experience.”

HMF is a perfect fit for the mood and demands of the twenty-first century. Tihany has reunited the original sections of the Florentine Room—the dining room, Tapestry Bar and the transitional venue behind them known as Celebrity Isle. The result is a space that is both comfortable and interactive, well suited for the sophisticated yet relaxed lifestyle so prevalent today. It’s a place to stop in during the day for a cappuccino or a salad, and a place to gather at night for a handcrafted cocktail and small plates to share with friends.

The delights of HMF are almost endless. The first thing guests see upon entering is the open kitchen and the bar, beyond which is a glassed-in wine wall displaying the hotel’s formidable wine collection, and a private dining room that can accommodate up to 18 people. There are two bars, including a sushi bar, and a robata grill in the exhibition kitchen, where diners can watch the chefs at work. The visual spectacle is amplified by vibrant, eclectic playlists, custom-crafted and presented by HMF’s music and entertainment director. A Cigarette Girl moves through the space, infusing the scene with a dose of nostalgia as she offers tastings of specialty items for sale, a candid photo or a variety of whimsical surprises.

The chandeliers and original ceiling remain, but the new bar has a sleek and contemporary design. Groupings of curved love seats and plush armchairs provide a background for nibbling and socializing. Tihany sees it as a process of blending past and present, form and function.

“In the twenty-first century, people want to spend time in these historical places,” he says, “but they want to sit in a contemporary chair. You have to give them a historic reference, but you can’t just restore old furniture. Then it becomes a museum.”

“The scale of the room requires some intimacy.

The first time I came in, I realized that no matter where I sat I couldn’t see anybody—it wasn’t built for two people who wanted to have a conversation.

So we had to redesign all the furniture to turn it into a live space. The tension between the historical and the contemporary gives birth to the new identity of the room.”

Tihany takes his furniture seriously. It’s all made for him at a factory in Italy, “the country of sexy furniture.” He’s no less devoted to the other aspects of the operation. Describing himself as a “custom tailor,” he gets personally involved in the selection of china and silverware, and even the design of staff uniforms.

The decor of HMF provides the backdrop for

what The Breakers calls “the modern Palm Beach cocktail party,” an experience that recreates the glitter of traditional entertaining on the island while fitting the new generation as gracefully as a Ferragamo shoe. This rising guard is best described as The New Jet Set—a group whose appreciation for the art of leisure is equaled by an appetite for style and exceptional food and drink. It’s a place to discover something unique, and to share that discovery with others.

The cocktail experience is the spiritual soul of HMF. The inventive cocktail list recreates many of the classics, but also adds some new twists.

As in many of the cutting-edge locations in today’s cocktail culture, bartenders here have the mentality of chefs: They source and use the freshest of ingredients, and the drink list changes with the rhythm of the seasons.

Unlike many restaurants that are restricted to a single style of cooking, HMF celebrates the bounty of the world’s great cuisines. At any given time, guests may sample dishes from a menu that includes influences from Spain, Italy, France, Latin America, Asia and the culinary regions of the United States.

Offerings are as varied as Singapore duck potstickers, Hawaiian tuna poke, wild boar empanaditas or salmon yakatori cooked on the robata. The format of small plates encourages guests to experiment and share. Regardless of the time of year, the ever-changing menu incorporates organic and locally grown products.

Regular guests at The Breakers are well aware of the central role wine has played in the dining experience over the years. The hotel is one of only 74 venues in the country to hold

the Wine Spectator Grand Award, an honor it has received every year since the program was inaugurated in 1981. Under the direction of Master Sommelier Virginia Philip, HMF continues the tradition of offering the world’s greatest wines at all price levels. On any given evening, the 14 wines by the glass may include a 1990 Prosecco from Treviso, Bruno Paillard Champagne or high-end California Cabernet.

A range of sakes complements the dishes from the sushi bar, and interesting craft beers are

available. Philip’s colleague and fellow Master Sommelier, Juan Gomez, oversees wine service and assists guests in navigating the list of more than 1,600 selections.

Outside observers were surprised when The Breakers’ management team decided to close L’Escalier and replace it with a new concept. The restaurant had received numerous accolades, including the coveted AAA Five Diamond Award, and was regarded by many critics as being one of the nation’s fin

est dining venues. According to Leone, the closing of L’Escalier was consistent with the culture of excellence at the hotel—the refusal to accept the status quo and rest on their laurels, coupled with the desire to seek out new and groundbreaking experiences.

“HMF is unique,” says Nick Velardo, director of food and beverage – restaurants.

“There’s simply nothing else like it in the United States.”

For Tihany, it was both an exciting project

and a labor of love. “To be associated with such an important hospitality landmark as The Breakers is a great honor,” he says. “I saw the design process here as no different from the renovation of a space such as the Louvre in Paris.”

His challenge was to retain that sense of history while bringing in the energy of today’s social scene, and he has succeeded brilliantly. Come and join the modern Palm Beach cocktail party. n

Celebrate!

Mark your special moments with a party no one will ever forget.

One of a kind. For the Weddings and Celebrations team at The Breakers Palm Beach, that is both a mantra and a commitment.

The team of party-planning professionals strives to make life’s special moments, whether it’s a milestone birthday or anniversary, a daughter’s wedding or a personal triumph, as individual and as memorable as the people celebrating them.

“We specialize in special events of every kind,” says Joan Bever, director of food and beverage – catering and banquet operations at The Breakers. “Our goal is to make each one unique—to show you things no one has ever had before.”

By contrast, a 25th birthday party for a young woman and about 20 of her dearest friends had a completely different feel: intimate, but no less extraordinary. The Mediterranean Ballroom was draped with voluminous sheaths of fabric to create a private spa for exclusive use by the birthday party guests. At the opposite end of the room was an Alice in Wonderland-inspired high tea, where guests gathered after their treatments.

Party People In the not-too-distant past, the vast majority of events hosted at The Breakers were weddings. Now, there is a growing trend toward major celebrations for nearly any occasion. Some of the most memorable events are centered around birthdays, anniversaries, religious achievements such as bar mitzvahs, and the “just because” parties for friends, family and community.

“Weddings are wonderful,” says Joan Bever, director of food and beverage – catering and banquet operations. “But once a couple has seen their children married, they’re thinking about all the other great reasons to have a party.”

intimate cabaret, complete with a royal table and an exquisite menu.

After dinner, the party continued on two elevated levels of the room that served as a nightclub, complete with dance floor.

“The entire space was completely transformed,” says Joy Cudahy, director of event services at The Breakers. “Seeing how the same room can be interpreted in so many different ways is one of the most interesting aspects of planning events.”

Honing in on each guest’s unique vision for his or her celebration is the first step of an elaborate collaborative process that is the hallmark of The Breakers’ event staff.

The exciting journey begins when the client meets with a catering manager, part of a team of professionals with an average tenure of more than 15 years with the resort. The catering manager creates the initial concept and involves the executive chef, The Design Studio and the service team when needed.

“This business is all about resources,” Bever says. “We are all constantly on the lookout for the latest trend and newest innovation we can bring back to The Breakers.

New York City, researching and gathering ideas. Individual team members attend conferences in Miami or Washington, D.C., or vacation in Europe, with the idea of bringing the best of the best back to Palm Beach.

“Travel and the experiences that come with it allow us to be aware of the market on a large scale,” Bever says. “It gives us the knowledge to make important comparisons so our clients can be confident in our ability to give them the experience they want.”

Collaboration is an important part of planning a celebration at The Breakers. The events team is accustomed to working with local outside vendors, as well as nationally known party planners who can manage all aspects of an affair.

The wedding of Katy Yulman and Greg Williamson is the perfect example. The couple hired New York event and floral designer Lewis Miller to create the blueprint for their wedding ceremony and reception. The details, however, were executed by The Design Studio, The Breakers’ in-house event decor experts.

The result was spectacular. The ceremony took place in the Mediterranean Ballroom under a canopy of flowers and lights. At the dinner reception in the Venetian Ballroom, they danced with their 250 guests under crystal chandeliers and atop a patterned, illuminated dance floor.

At the birthday celebration for Pantone founder Larry Herbert, the room was awash in a rainbow of color.

Even the cake was a multihued confection.

“It was absolutely gorgeous,” Bever says. “Completely city-chic and different than anything we’d done before.”

Personalization is key to developing a one-of-kind party, and that can be accomplished in many ways.

For some, that could mean hosting a destination event, a trend that’s becoming increasingly popular. With friends and families often spread across the globe, travel is a given when a special occasion arises. A celebration at The Breakers is an opportunity for distant friends and family to reconnect over activities like golf, tennis, shopping, spa treatments and even lounging poolside, in addition to the formal aspects of the affair.

“People are emphasizing the things that are important, like drawing family and friends close,” Bever says.

Others are planning events around a theme of personal significance. The Breakers recently hosted a wedding with a vintage theme—an homage to the bride’s grandmother, with whom she was particularly close. Many parties feature custom-designed food or beverages, representing the family’s ethnic background or a personal passion. One couple hosted an event with a Napa Valley theme, complete with bordeaux-hued decor and a carefully culled wine list, to share their love of the grape with their guests. A young bride and groom who embraced a casual, easy-going lifestyle served mini macn-cheese and slider appetizers at their cocktail hour; the groom, a member of a rock band, took to the stage at the reception.

“They managed to put their own stamp on the otherwise formal, black-tie reception their parents wanted,” Bever says.

The birthday celebration for Lawrence Herbert, founder of the Pantone color-matching system, was rife with personal touches. The weekend-long party for nearly 300 was produced by New York Citybased designer Ed Libby, who bathed the Venetian Ballroom in a rainbow of lights, playing on Herbert’s professional identity. The cake was comprised of stacked color “cubes” and each table represented a different color, down to specially designed napkins that mimicked color swatches. Making the festivities even more memorable was entertainment that included a performance by Patti LaBelle and dancers from Dancing With the Stars.

“When you’re planning a celebration at The Breakers, the possibilities are, quite literally, endless,” Bever says. “I think that’s because we continually push ourselves to discover the next big thing.” n

3:00 p.m. – I have most definitely arrived. I never thought a hotel modeled after a fifteenth-century Italian villa—frescoes and all!—could feel like a second home, but it so does.

4:00 p.m. – I adore the way the ocean breeze makes my skin tingle—and this view! A double balcony off a gorgeous suite really is the way to go.

Video cameras to analyze my swing? Comparing my technique to the pros? My game could go somewhere with this kind of attention.

7:30 p.m. – With the fireplace burning and the sun setting over the Ocean Course fairway, The Flagler Steakhouse is beyond romantic. But tonight, it’s just me and this to-die-for steak au poivre. I’m absolutely in love.

10:00 p.m. – The night is still young. I can’t think of a better way to end the day than mingling with the gorgeous crowd at HMF. Handcrafted cocktails? A vibe this cool and sexy? I feel like I’ve stepped into the set of Mad Men!

Heart& Sole

BY KELLEY MARCELLUS

Shoe designer Jessie Randall melds edgy instincts with a decidedly feminine sensibility.

BY KELLEY MARCELLUS Jessie Randall wasn’t born with a sketchbook in her hands. She didn’t regularly come across Vogue on the family coffee table. Her mother almost never shuffled through hangers, fretting over what to wear. In fact, fashion really wasn’t a part of the conversation around her Worcester, Massachusetts childhood home.

Looking back, though, there was something that hinted to what that little girl would become. And it all revolved around an annual shopping trip.

“I didn’t grow up in Manhattan, exposed all the time to fabulous fashion,” says Randall, taking a break from a hectic schedule to chat

80

traditions

over the phone from the SoHo studio of Loeffler Randall, where she serves as creative director. “Fashion wasn’t a big focus at home, but we had a big shoe store in town, and I just loved going there.”

The smell of new leather and row upon row of options still resonate with her. Though the possibilities were endless, she gravitated to a single pair of dress shoes etched in her memory to this day. They were more than footwear; they were the perfect complement to life’s festive occasions. She wore them to every birthday party and celebration for an entire year, and each time they made her feel special.

These days, Randall’s shoe closet overflows. She has wedges and booties, espadrilles and flats, platforms and stilettos, all in color palettes ranging from neutral to bright and styles from patent to pattern.

Making Memories With a demanding business and three young boys, it’s not surprising that shoe designer Jessie Randall and husband Brian Murphy are regulars at The Breakers.

“Our kids are the most important part of our lives,” Randall says. “Balancing work with family can be a challenge, so we look forward to creating memories in special places.”

Their first visit came when their twins, now 5, were toddlers. Every day, the parents reserved a beach cabana equipped with portable cribs.

“They took long naps there, and my husband and I sat and relaxed in the sun,” she says. “It was the first time we exhaled since they were born.”

That wasn’t Randall’s first visit to Palm Beach or to The Breakers. She’d visited as a child, the guest of the grandmother who introduced her to glamour and fashion.

On the family’s most recent visit to the resort, the twins discovered the Coconut Crew Camp while their little brother had the time of his life in the Family Entertainment Center. Mom, Dad and kids all enjoyed being disconnected from an otherwise busy lifestyle. Even back home, little souvenirs with The Breakers’ logo have become treasured collectibles for the boys.

“We’re always surprised we run into a lot of families we know from New York while we’re at The Breakers,” Randall says. “It’s really a very special place.” —K.M.

The perfect pair for any occasion is always at her fingertips.

For the designer of one of the fashion industry’s most sought-after shoe collections, that’s par for the course.

Designing shoes may be her calling, but it wasn’t always her vocation. Randall graduated from the University of Virginia and headed to New York City to pursue a career in fashion advertising. Along the way, she worked as a handbag designer for Banana Republic. There she met graphic designer Brian Murphy, the man who would become her partner—in business and in life. As they got to know each other, first through work and later on a personal level, they began to consider branching out and doing their own thing.

“The natural thing was to think about doing handbags, but I couldn’t get shoes out of my head,” Randall says. “Shoes were always my first love.”

Randall and Murphy researched the shoe business, interviewed designers and manufacturers, and figured out how to turn ideas into products. They eventually parlayed that due diligence into Loeffler Randall, the company they launched in 2005, shortly after they were married.

Though they share a similar aesthetic, their professional roles are quite different. Randall is the creative mind while Murphy, the company’s chief financial officer, heads up the business side. Not that he lacks creativity; after all, he named the company.

“He actually cut up our wedding invitation and put my names inside a shoe and it just kind of fit,” Randall says.

Loeffler is Randall’s middle name, derived from her maternal great-grandmother. But her fashion role model came from the other side of her family.

“My [paternal] grandmother, Harriett Randall, was very chic,” Randall says. “She had tiny feet and would give me her old shoes to continued on page 108 traditions

island Palm Beach: THE ART OF LIVING

life Palm Beach is known as the

world’s winter playground, and

that reputation is well deserved.

During the stretch of time we affectionately know as “the season,” the island becomes a hub for the most sophisticated people on the planet. From captains of industry to polo-playing royalty, and from mainline aristocrats to stars of stage and screen, the denizens of Palm Beach make up a rather Beyond the serenity and luxury of The Breakers is a lively community steeped in the pleasures of living well— and giving back through lavish philanthropic events (below).

fascinating social landscape.

To watch the Palm Beach scene come alive, one has only to step out on any given evening. Chances are tables at the town’s best restaurants will be hard to come by, the halls of The Breakers will be populated with beautiful people in ball gowns and tuxedos, and Worth Avenue will be buzzing with cocktail parties.

Gone are the days when everything was dark by 10 p.m. And so are the boundaries that defined the season (traditionally Thanksgiving to Easter), as people are staying—and enjoying—far longer. Palm Beach is becoming a year-round destination, with plenty to do and see regardless of when you visit.

This is likely the reason so many visitors are converted to residents. It truly is hard to resist the town’s heady mix of social activity, culture, history, leisure options, architectural charm and natural beauty. If you find yourself wonder-

ANSWER KEY:

It shouldn’t be hard to guess that the correct answer to each of our quiz questions is “B.” If you answered more than five questions correctly, you may be eligible to be named a member of the town’s Old Guard—those individuals whose roots run deep, back to the pioneering families that built Palm Beach into what it is today. If you scored fewer, you might need a crash course. Fret not: Palm Beachers are a friendly sort, always willing to share an anecdote or two about their slice of paradise.

island life The Ultimate Family Club Breakers West is not your grandfather’s country club. The exciting, high-energy community offers fun for the whole family. From the award-winning Rees Jones championship golf course to tennis facilities, pool, restaurant and the Kids’ Club (expected to open in late 2013), there’s something for everyone.

“We have an amazing summer camp for kids that reaches maximum capacity every year,” says David Renna, director of club operations. “With the Breakers West Kids’ Club opening, we’re moving in the direction of truly being a family club.”

Palm Beach Must-Haves If Palm Beachers didn’t invent resort style, they certainly have perfected it. In our sun-washed corner of the world, the de rigueur look is playful and relaxed, but always with a wink of worldly sophistication. The island has a rich fashion history, introduced by such icons as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Lilly Pulitzer, Babe Paley, C.Z. Guest and Estée Lauder. Here is how to look the part:

Save the black. Sure, the LBD does have its place— this is a black-tie town, after all—but by day, keep it light and bright.

White is right. Forget about that outdated Memorial-to-Labor-Day rule: Slim, white trousers, capris or ankle-length pencil pants are a year-round basic in Palm Beach. They pair perfectly with a tunic, sweater set or

Eye on the bold. Where the forecast is always sunny, statement-making sunglasses are an absolute must.

Be jeweled. In Palm Beach, jewels are always appropriate. You’re just as likely to see a diamond choker with a bikini as a gasp-worthy tiara with a ball gown.

Vintage baubles and chic costume pieces are gaining traction, too. Shine on.

Easy Living The leisurely lifestyle at One North Breakers Row is now even better.

The first phase of a multimillion-dollar renovation has been completed on the exterior and public areas of the complex of 88 private apartment homes located just north of The Breakers resort.

Late last year, top-of-the-line impact-resistant windows were installed, and the former aluminum-rail balconies were replaced with rounded glass walls to amplify ocean views. “We have not only improved the visual aesthetic, but the functionality as well,” says Danny Miller, One North Breakers Row general manager.

One North Breakers Row is a rental community designed for residents who want to enjoy the best of The Breakers and Palm Beach without the inconvenience and expense of maintaining real estate on the island. All apartments, generously sized from 2,000 square feet, feature a full kitchen and a large balcony. Residents enjoy 24-hour room service, a private beach and pool, the services of a dedicated concierge and social events specifically for community members, all in a safe and secure environment.

“Some of our residents look at an apartment on Breakers Row as an entry into the Palm Beach real estate market,” Miller says. “There are a lot of benefits to renting at Breakers Row—including having the resort as your playground and being able to retreat to your private, peaceful apartment.”

The amenities and convenience are only part of the picture. “We continually receive compliments from residents about our sincere, caring, welcoming staff,” Miller says. “For us, that’s the ultimate validation.”

play dress-up. She really indulged me with the things I wasn’t exposed to in my immediate family, like dresses and nail polish and bright red lipstick.”

Since launching Loeffler Randall with the Fall 2005 collection, Randall and Murphy have not looked back. The shoes are on the It lists of fashion editors and stylists everywhere, and industry accolades keep pouring in. In 2007, Randall received the CFDA Swarovski Award for Accessory Design, and in 2009, Inc. magazine named Loeffler Randall one of the 500 fastest growing private companies in America.

Randall is thrilled with the success of the line, which now includes handbags. The shoes, a selection of which is carried at Match at The Breakers, have “a sophisticated, elegant sensibility,” she says.

“I describe our line as being a little bit downtown but with a feminine edge.”

Loeffler Randall shoes are versatile, and, yes, comfortable. “In this business, ‘comfortable’ can give a certain negative connotation,” Randall says, laughing. “Our shoes are great for travel. I wear them when I’m on vacation or when I’m chasing after my kids.

You can actually walk in these shoes.”

Which is a good thing, considering the couple is constantly on the go. Randall and Murphy have three active boys—5-yearold twins Casper and Liam, and Harry, the 2-year-old whom Randall describes as “a little maniac who brings a good dose of chaos” to their lives. Mornings start early in their Park Slope, Brooklyn home and they hit the ground running, often with Liam weighing in on his mom’s wardrobe before heading off to school. Weekends are sacred, spent in Prospect Park or at the swimming pool at their club.

“I love doing art projects with the kids,” Randall says, describing the details for the twins’ last birthday party—a backyard luau featuring a hand-decorated photo booth and personalized T-shirt favors. “It’s nice to have a creative outlet where there’s no pressure and no feedback. This kind of creativity is purely fun.” n

THE WAY WE WERE

La Belle Epoque

Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, Detroit Publishing Company Collection

Since the heyday of the Gilded Age, The Breakers has been the jewel in Palm Beach’s crown. Then and now, the hotel (inset, circa 1900) has been the hub of the town’s sparkling social scene.

In the day, jet-setters, dignitaries and celebrities would mingle in spaces like Veranda of The Breakers (main photo, circa 1905). Today more than ever, social activity abounds at the hotel, from black-tie affairs in the venerated ballrooms to hipsters gathering at HMF, the newest hot spot to sip, dine and be seen.
