MELVIN SOKOL SKY Elevation of Elegance

8

In the inventive world of fashion photography, few have managed to blend reality with the surreal quite like Melvin Sokolsky. Born in the heart of New York City in 1933, Sokolsky's journey into the world of photography was as unconventional as his later works. With no formal training, he honed his skills through experimentation. His early fascination with Hieronymus Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights" set the stage for a career marked by imaginative brilliance.

Sokolsky emerged as a photographic maestro

in a golden era spanning from the 1950s to the 1970s. It was a time when American magazines reigned supreme in the advertisement industry, and photographers were the new rock stars of contemporary art.

Publications like Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and The New York Times became canvases for Sokolsky's innovative visions.

His disdain for the rigid division between editorial and advertising photography led him to always aim for the "full shot," blurring the lines between commercial work and pure

9

artistic expression, This approach was not just revolutionary but also reflective of Sokolsky's belief in the potential of photography as a form of fine art.

One of Sokolsky's most stunning achievements was the Bubble series, where he captured the model Simone D'Aillencourt floating down the Seine in a transparent sphere. This series was not only a technical marvel for its time but also a poetic expression of beauty and grace. Sokolsky's ability to create such elegant illusions without the aid of digital technologies speaks volumes about his mastery and foresight.

Through his lens, Sokolsky transformed models into ethereal beings, floating in bubbles or shrunken to miniature scales. These dream-like scenarios were beyond fashion photography; they were a window into a world in which fantasy and reality find a harmonious balance.

In an era where digital manipulation did not exist, Sokolsky’s photographs remind us that the magic of photography lay in the eye, the mind, and the heart of the photographer. As we look back at his creations, they continue to inspire awe and wonder, much like the spherical bubble floating over exotic lands in Sokolsky's youthful dreams.

10

JL Modern Gallery is currently hosting an exhibition of Sokolsky's work. This is a rare opportunity to experience the groundbreaking artistry of one of fashion photography's true innovators firsthand. The exhibition offers a deep dive into Sokolsky's creative world, featuring iconic pieces from his illustrious career. For lovers of photography and art alike, this exhibition is not to be missed.

BY POLA IBARRA

As I stepped into the heart of New York, I found myself at the threshold of not just any clinic, but a remarkable wellness center that redefines the conventional American healthcare experience.

This is not your typical clinic; it's an impeccable fusion of luxury and health, a rare blend that feels more akin to entering the grandeur of a top-tier hotel rather than a medical facility.

From the moment I walked in, the absence of the usual clinic ambiance was palpable. Gone were the long waits and the stark, cold environment we've all grown accustomed to. Instead, I was welcomed into an impeccable space that exuded tranquility and sophistication.

I was warmly welcomed by my personal conciege contact, with whom I had spoken six weeks before scheduling my consultation. She had explained in detail what I could expect during my day at the facility and had immediately followed up with an email asking me to fill out some forms about my health history.

The first thing I noticed upon arrival was the absence of having to sit in a waiting room. The clinic operates with a unique approach, catering to a maximum of four patients per day. If you get the VIP package, you get the clinic all to yourself.

After leaving my belongings and getting comfortable in the locker room, I met with a board-certified physician, who had already gone through my health history in detail. The session was dedicated to a comprehensive

examination, covering my entire medical history, from birth to the present day. The focus was not just on the physical aspects of health but also on understanding the intricate details of my family's medical background and my target symptoms. Throughout the consultation, I experienced an unrushed level of care that was both thorough and personalized, a rare experience in today's healthcare landscape.

The equipment here is state-ofthe-art, a testament to the clinic's commitment to offering the best in medical technology. In terms of diagnostics, the clinic left no stone unturned. They conducted a comprehensive lab panel with over 60 different tests, encompassing everything from cholesterol and glucose levels to thyroid function and organ screening. Moreover, the advanced imaging capabilities, including CT scans and 3D imaging of my chest, heart, and lungs, were truly impressive. They also offered full DNA sequencing and hereditary cancer screening.

After undergoing these new medical examinations, I found myself enveloped in the serenity of a beautifully decorated space, indulging in a nutritious breakfast. After this interlude of mental respite, I met with the dietician. Our conversation delved into my food habits, addressing my digestive issues often attributed to stress and the hectic lifestyle of constant travel. She was able to analyze these in conjunction with the results of the Food Sensitivity Test, which were sent afterward.

This session seamlessly transitioned into an encounter with the excercise physiologist.

Initially, I was skeptical, having already worked with several top-notch trainers, but the concierge's recommendation swayed me, and retrospectively, I couldn't be more grateful. It's worth noting that he is renowned for treating professional athletes. The session included a cardiac test, a series of physical assessments, and a meticulous analysis of my posture. Astonishingly, the physiologist detected a minor, previously overlooked injury. This revelation was a turning point; it explained how a flawed running technique was impacting my posture.

The session transcended a mere consultation; it was an educational experience about the body's mechanics. I learned that due to muscle memory, it's crucial to train the body in adopting a new posture alignment. The key lies in repetition and understanding the mechanical interconnectivity of the body, highlighting how a single incorrect habit can cascade into a broader impact.

The cherry on top of this experience was undoubtedly the session with the massage therapist. But let me clarify, this was not just any ordinary massage; it was a session with certified therapists who truly understand the mechanical interconnectedness of the body.

Just when I thought the day was over, the most impressive aspect emerged: the immediate sharing and discussion of results with the doctor on the same day, a process that

66

would normally take days in a typical clinic.

Days after my visit, the journey of self-discovery continued with the arrival of a comprehensive report. Meticulously prepared, it was sent to both me and my primary physician. This detailed document served as a personal handbook, revealing insights into my body's functions and genetic predispositions. It felt like I had received a tailored guide on optimizing my health and understanding the interplay between my body and mind.

More than just a summary of my health, this report provided a glimpse into the future.

It outlined potential health risks and offered strategies for disease prevention, emphasizing the importance of proactive care. This approach to health, blending advanced diagnostics with personalized advice, epitomizes the clinic's commitment to pioneering a new standard in wellness and longevity."

Embracing St. Barths Tranquility: Le Barthélemy's Journey into Holistic Water Healing In the serene surroundings of St. Barts, the award-winning Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa, along with its sister brand Le Barth Villa Rental, is pioneering a unique wellness initiative. They have introduced a holistic water healing concept that encompasses ancient healing modalities, promising a deeper connection to oneself and a profound sense of calm.

68

The concept, which builds upon the hotel's existing partnership with La Mer and its Nordic water therapy offerings, introduces two distinct and rare water healing experiences: Janzu and Aquatic Tibetan Sound Healing. Sebastien Maingourd, the Regional General Manager, emphasizes the hotel's commitment to incorporating the island's natural resources, particularly water, to enhance the physical and mental well-being of their guests.

Janzu, or 'peaceful river' in Chinese, is a psychocorporal therapeutic practice that dates back to ancient Shamanic regression techniques. It involves guided rhythmic movements in water, facilitating a state of deep relaxation and transformation. Grégoire Bosc, a Janzu specialist at the hotel, describes it as a journey towards self-renewal and presence.

Complementing Janzu, the hotel also introduces Aquatic Tibetan Bowls, orchestrated

by Marine Delfino. This unique therapy involves submerging in water while Tibetan bowls placed on the water surface create deep vibrational frequencies. Delfino tailors the frequency of each bowl to the individual needs of the guests, enhancing the healing process. This therapy is known to alleviate pain, reduce anxiety, and improve overall mental well-being.

Guests can experience these therapies in various serene settings like the Nature's Reserve, private plunge pools, infinity pools, or at any villa within the Le Barth portfolio with access to water.

In addition to these new therapies, the hotel continues to offer the La Mer Ritual Excellence experience at Le Spa, which uses the regenerative properties of Giant Sea Kelp, and Nordic vitality pools to boost immunity and circulation.

Longevity-Boosting Ways to Revitalize/Nourish/Enhance your Body and Mind BY: KRISTINE KELLY Nutrition Coach, Chef of Plant Based Daily, St Barth

02. Reduce the impact of stress You can reduce the impact of stress by making time to honor your emotional and psychological world. Start by incorporating daily self-care practices that resonate with you, calming the nervous system even if you start with 5 mins a day. Meditation, Breathing exercises, tai chi, flow writing, daily walks outside, journaling, socializing. Find something you enjoy and build on this practice.

Strengthen your vagus nerve: The vagus nerve plays an important role in the gut-brain axis, which affects your mood. You can also practice vagus nerve exercises regularly to better build up your resilience against stress.

Physical vagus nerve exercises:

01. Creating a healthy relationship with food Letting go of perfectionism, having shame when you eat something “unhealthy,” or eating in a rushed state (focusing more on mindfulness eating). Mindfulness eating starts with allowing your body to move into a relaxed, parasympathetic state before you start eating.

This is achieved by moving away from your work space, gratitude, and deep breathing. Your mental state has a direct effect on your ability to digest food and absorb nutrients.

If you look at what centenarians eat in the “Blue Zones,” you can think about plant-based as your plate’s superstar and add in your bio-individual choice of protein as garnish. According to Dan Buettner, “beans, including fava, black, soy and lentils, are the cornerstone of most centenarian diets. Meat—mostly pork—is eaten on average only five times per month. Serving sizes are 3-4 oz., about the size of a deck of cards.”

Start by focusing on meals that bring you pleasure to eat or have fun modernizing a traditional family recipe with your own twist. You could get extra support with a nutrition coach like myself to guide you in this process of creating a meal plan that works for you. By eating a variety of healthy foods that you love and that react well in your body, you are shifting your perspective forwards making food choices out of self-respect, not out of restriction, shame, obsession, or punishment.

Allowing ourselves to honor our body and nourish our hunger by enjoying a variety of foods, we connect our mind and bodies with “intuitive eating.” Intuitive eating is “trusting your body to make food choices that feel good for you, without judging yourself or the influence of diet culture. (Source: National Eating Disorders Association).

• Gargling: Gargle with water in the morning and evening when you brush your teeth. Aim for 30 seconds to one minute.

• Singing: Doesn’t matter if you can carry a tune, turn on your favorite song and belt it out.

• Om-ing: Yes, the same om associated with yoga practice. Sitting in a quiet space, chant a long “om.” You should feel a vibration around the ears, which will connect to the vagus nerve. A study in the International Journal of Yoga found that chanting ‘om’ was helpful in deactivating certain parts of the limbic system in the brain involved in stress and emotional responses, such as the amygdala.

• Laughing: Watch a funny TV show or movie and actually laugh at the funny parts. Or spend time with that friend who you always end up laughing with like doing karaoke or something fun.

Psychological vagus nerve exercises: • Gratitude journaling: Sit down before bed or when you wake up and write down three things you’re grateful for, whether they’re big or small). Repeat this daily, weekly, or a cadence that feels right for you to help activate the PNS (peripheral nervous system).

• Deep breathing: There are so many different types of breathwork out there, see which one resonates with you. My personal favorite is known as “Box Breathing.”

Inhale for a count of 4, hold for a count of 4, exhale for a count of 4, hold for a count of 4. Repeat as many times as you need.

75

• Meditating or Praying: Meditating can take many forms and does not have to be long and drawn out, but “contemplative practices,” such as yoga or meditation walks, have been found to bring calm, in part, by activating the vagus nerve.

• Exposing yourself to things that are beautiful, such as a sunset, spending time in nature, looking at pretty pictures, or playing with your pets: Anything that brings forth positive emotions—and this is different for everyone—increase vagal tone, and has been found to be a contributor to good physical health, notes a randomized controlled trial in Psychological Science.

03. Intuitive movement and grounding Getting in contact with the earth every day is grounding.

Research is showing that connecting directly with the earth’s energy can actually improve health by reducing stress, decreasing inflammation, and improving immune response. This practice is referred to as “earthing.”

Spending 40 minutes per day with direct skin contact with the earth can make a big difference. You can do this by walking barefoot in the grass, gardening, or laying out in the yard at night and looking up at the stars. Walking on the beach counts, as does taking a swim in a lake or ocean!.

04. Sacred Morning + Evening routines Take a moment to reflect on your current morning routine. Do you immediately grab your cell phone to scroll upon waking or jump out of bed in a rushed state (elevating your cortisol) or do you take time to slow down and stretch when you first wake up? Developing your own morning practice of having some sacred time to expose yourself to sunlight upon waking (this can improve your sleep), enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while meditating, or a few minutes of journaling or flow writing to start your day can positively impact the rest of your day.

Viewing sunlight within the first hours of waking (as soon as you can, even if through cloud cover) increases early-day cortisol release (the ideal time for elevated cortisol) and prepares the body for sleep later that night.

A morning spike in cortisol will also positively influence your immune system, metabolism and ability to focus during the day.

Further, morning sunlight helps regulate your “circadian clock” — the body’s mechanism for anticipating when to wake up and go to sleep — and it manages other biological processes like hunger and body temperature.

On a sunny morning, get outside for 5-10 minutes. You can do more if you have time, and feel free to use the time outside to exercise, walk, eat a light breakfast or journal in the sunlight. Even on overcast days, there is still enough sunlight to trigger positive effects, but you’ll need to increase the time outside to at least 15-20 minutes. If it’s dark when you wake up or if the weather prevents you from going outside, flip on as many bright indoor artificial lights as possible — then get outside as soon as the sun is out. (Source: Andrew Huberman, Ph.D.) For your evening routine, try to eat at least two hours before you plan to fall asleep so you have enough time to properly digest your food. Taking time between eating and lying down also reduces the risk of GER symp-

76

toms and poor sleep. Try to avoid blue lights after sunset if possible and enjoy a nice warm Epsom salt bath, herbal foot soak or “Abhyanga,” which is a daily, or frequent, full-body self-massage practice performed with warm oil, rooted in ayurvedic medicine.

Maybe wind down further by clearing your head by journaling, reading a book or listening to Yoga Nidra “yogic sleep.” Yoga nidra is intended to produce a state of relaxation that is similar to sleep, but involves maintaining conscious awareness of the environment.

05. Prioritize Sleep. Slow down A good night’s sleep has become a luxury for many of us as we stay up for work or play and this can be detrimental for our health. Not only do we feel the effects of poor sleep throughout the day, but research shows that chronic sleep loss has negative long-term effects on our heart health, cognitive function and more.

If you’re struggling with falling alseep, or you’re simply sleep-curious, one of my favorite books that I recommend is, “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker.

If you feel fatique during the day,Ttry taking URBs (ultradian rhythm breaks, “sleep snacks”). Basically approximately every hour and a half or so you need to take a rest break. If you don't you may be well on your way to the Ultradian Stress Syndrome: you get tired and lose your mental focus, you tend to make mistakes, get irritable and have accidents. If you continue to ignore your need to take a break you can experience more and more stress and may actually get sick.

When you learn how to recognize your need to take a 20 minute break you can convert your stress into what Dr. Ernest Lawrence Rossi refers to as “The Ultradian Healing Response.” It’s that wonderful feeling of comfort and well-being that you naturally have when you are tired but let yourself have the freedom to take well deserved rest. Taking a 20 minute healing break allows your mind and body to recover - it more than just a luxury to feel good! Your mind and body needs a chance to build up its internal supplies of available energy -to clear up the backlog of unfinished business and gear up for another hour and a half of good work, play and health.

ISABELLE LINDBERGH Spirit of the Wind

"For this series, my work has focused on my favorite element: Air. Air gives a feeling of elevation and strong energy. The essence of my pictures consists of metaphors responding to the expression of nature though humans but also the connections they have with their environment. I aim to tell a unique story with each piece, and invite the viewer to adopt new perspectives when contemplating a piece. Each piece starts with the location and feeling the energy of the place, then the connection that the model feels and expresses in situ."

78

The endless landscapes that form the backdrop and inspiration are totally sauvage and immediately recognisable as St Barth. Nothing superficial, only nature and human. Lindbergh likes to let the models move in their own way, connecting with the wind and being pulled from one side to the other by the long 16 metre silver sheet, which she uses to harness the power of the wind - making the invisible, visible. Nature is part of the storytelling and its unpredictability plays the co-starring role in these pieces. It is a dance between the elements and the model. These innocent moments

are always organic and free-spirited.

"In my work, we feel mobility and freedom. The pieces focus on my ability to capture the place and the model in movement. It’s important for me to find people that are not just models. They also have a story, something to tell us. For me photography goes beyond the limits of concepts and imaginations, and my photography aims to express what we feel but cannot see."

From the photoshoot through to the production of the print, every step is important. The printing process used is Piezography ,which is the highest-standard in black and white printing. It is the only system capable of printing tens of thousands of gray levels that capture the depth and nuance of the image. This is produced from the increased load of high quality carbon pigment being printed combined with up to seven shades of carbon ink.

Photographer and pilot Isabelle Lindbergh, was born in Senlis near Paris, France. Granddaughter of American aviator Charles Lindbergh, (the first to cross the North Atlantic non-stop. In May 1927). Lindbergh formalised her exploration of the arts by embarking on photography studies at some of the most renowned schools in France, including the ESSAG Penninghen graphic art school in Paris and Les Goblins Paris. In 2015 she obtained her Masters in photography. Since graduating 10 years ago, Lindbergh’s "savoir-faire" has been requested in various fields, from fashion, cosmetics and luxury to music. Her focus has now turned to fine art and having the freedom to explore her full creative vision.

"Today I feel confident in my approach and it is important for me to express my artistic language outside of the advertising world, devoting myself to more personal and intimate series that reveal a search for sincerity, simplicity and authenticity."
