The Gold Standard Once upon a time, a Cuban immigrant arrived in New York with barely a thing on his back and with an enormous dream in his heart. Through determination and a relentless work ethic, my father, Larry, lived out all his visions of the best life for himself, for his family and for everyone around him.

Larry’s dream became a reality 50 years ago, when he opened his first clothing store, Capry, in Manhattan. As co-owner, he went above and beyond, not only tirelessly working long hours but also showing an immeasurable amount of dedication to his customers, staff and partners.

And he had a lot of fun doing it. His spirit was the driving force then, and it still resonates today at the store he built in Red Bank. (We continue to have plenty of fun as well!)

From the beginning, Garmany differentiated itself from all other clothing retailers by selling only the best garments from around the globe and by focusing on personal service. When you visit us this fall, our style consultants will introduce you to the collections we’ve curated. We’re certain many of them will speak to your personal style and become part of your wardrobe. For men, brands like Stile Latino and Colombo are new to the store and give guys an even larger selection of great attire. Of course, we have the latest looks and pieces from all of your (and my) favorites: Brunello Cucinelli, Ravazzolo, Fedeli and Kiton, just to name a few. We can’t wait for you to see them.

Not to be outdone, our women’s department has robust

offerings this season too. Fashions from familiar names such as Simkhai and Veronica Beard grace the shelves, as do some new-to-Garmany brands like Proenza Schouler and Isabel Marant. We’re excited for you to try on the chic styles and flattering silhouettes. For a sneak preview of what’s in store, flip to “Drive in Style” on page 90.

Throughout the years, Garmany magazine has been your source for the best looks, latest gear and hottest lifestyle trends. This season’s issue is no different. For instance, flip to page 82 to read about a new electric vehicle from an iconic Italian automaker. Or turn to page 104 to learn about a U.S. skiing destination that’s yet to hit the mainstream. Want to up your fitness game (page 106), or sip some of the world’s most coveted wines (page 108)? We’ve got you covered! Then again, you know we always do.

For half a century, we have created a customer-first culture where we treat everyone like family. And that’s what our golden anniversary is about—YOU! Without you, your support and your friendship, we wouldn’t have such a passion and this amazing milestone would never have come to pass. Words cannot adequately express how much this humbles me, my family and our staff, and how truly grateful we are to be the recipients of your kindness.

Thank you, one and all, from the bottom of my heart.

Here’s to the next 50 years!

GARMANY

The Jewel of MONMOUTH Much has changed since Leonardo Zeik opened his first jewelry shop in 1964 (including the current Red Bank store’s upcoming move to a spot closer to us at Garmany!).

But while certain things evolve, the most important aspect to Leonardo Jewelers has remained the same: its passion to bring you the finest pieces from around the world. The expert staff is first-rate, and it works with you to find exactly what you’re looking for, whether it’s a token for a special someone or simply a gift to yourself. A silver and gold bracelet from David Yurman, pearl earrings from Mikimoto, a diamond necklace from Messika, a timepiece from Rolex, an engagement ring from the store’s custom collection—it’s only the best in the business at Leonardo.

All in the FAMILY

PARISIAN COOL There’s an art to looking effortless, and Isabel Marant has mastered it since the launch of her eponymous women’s clothing line in 1995. By her own description, the Parisian designer “dresses women for their real lives” and with “a happy mixture of unbridled creativity, selfless seduction and a tireless pursuit of pleasure.” This season, that pleasure is soft, supple leathers and suedes, overlarge and comfortable without ever sacrificing a statement.

The Isabel Marant Étoile collection features bold and artful patterns (and, this season, a touch of fringe), and easily walks the line between youthful and refined. There’s a youngness here, certainly, but there’s also wisdom behind it. Both that air of wisdom and the fringe carry over to the brand’s accessories, such as handbags that are structured and rich with detail. (We love their distinctive half-moon shape.) You’ll be in good company when you carry it—the Duchess of Edinburgh was spotted rocking one earlier this year. Stop by Garmany and find your favorite from Isabel Marant.

Much like Garmany, Stile Latino is a name that’s synonymous with both luxury menswear and family. Vincenzo Attolini founded the brand in Naples just two decades ago, but the company’s philosophies can be traced back generations to his grandfather’s tailoring shop, where Attolini learned the art and skill of Neapolitan garment making. Those sartorial traditions are used today at Stile Latino, which combines them with innovative fabrics and modern styling to create a brilliant line of smart-casual outerwear, suits, sportcoats, overshirts, sport shirts and more. This fall, let our Garmany family show you the latest offerings from the Stile Latino family.

could’ve dressed the beloved character in attire far better than a weathered trench coat. In fact, Colombo has styles for all gentlemen— from the lead cop in a television series to a Fortune 500 chief executive to a dad running weekend errands. That’s because founder Lanificio Luigi Colombo has invested in a team with a passion for ethically sourcing and responsibly processing the best Italian fibers and utilizing timehonored tailoring techniques. The brand’s luxurious wool and cashmere are virtually unmatched, and they’re all used to create fine knitwear, outerwear, jackets and more. Just one more thing: Colombo is now available to try at Garmany.

Good Vibes, GREAT CLOTHING Why work hard for a ’fit that looks and feels great? In just three years, New York City-based TWP (those are the initials of founder Trish Wescoat Pound) has established itself as a go-to for easy elegance. With a focus on precise tailoring and luxurious fabrics, the brand is for the cool, the contemporary and the on-the-go. Crisp, pleated pants or soft denim jeans, collared shirts or fine cashmere cardigans—the pieces command attention and embody the quintessential American woman. Try the perfectly boxy and sultry “Next Ex” shirt, which reimagines the man’s button-up for a feminine silhouette, and the cotton “Puddle Pant,” which balances a beautiful mid-rise form with a five-pocket function. It’s no surprise this brand found a ravenous audience in the Hamptons this summer—the elevated everyday and casual luxury fits the vibe perfectly. Visit Garmany to try on TWP this fall!

Though New York City-based designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez can thank their mothers for the name of their womenswear brand, the rest is on them.

Proenza Schouler, a combination of the moms’ maiden names, is a 22-year-old company that first emerged as a producer of fine handbags, footwear and accessories and has since evolved into a world-renowned maker of chic ready-to-wear essentials. With unexpected and exciting cuts, eye-catching silhouettes and subtle, if-you-know-youknow references to high art and culture, Proenza Schouler embodies the “intelligent, adult, urban woman.” In other words, the collection is elegant, it’s edgy, and it’s sure to turn heads. For something extra special, ask your favorite Garmany stylist about Proenza Schouler’s White Label. The line features plush, indulgent knit sweaters, dramatic dresses with long sleeves and high necks and cardigans that tumble to the knees.

A Century OF CINEMA The Statue of Liberty isn’t the only lady who’s carried a flame for 100+ years. Symbolized by its iconic, torch-carrying female figure logo, Columbia Pictures has been a beacon in the movie industry for a century, and its storied past is chronicled in Columbia Pictures: 100 Years of Cinema (Assouline, 2024, $105). Co-authored by Tom Rothman, CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Motion Picture Group, and best-selling writers Sam Wasson and Chris Cotonou, the tome takes readers and movie buffs alike on a retrospective tour of the studio’s

Fashion FUTURE

journey, from the early days of silent film to the advent of color pictures to lifelike computer-

Today’s discerning gentlemen know how to dress well, and they turn to Garmany—just as they’ve done for the past 50 years—for everything they need to look good. But what’s in store for fashion in the next half-century? Johnell Garmany makes a few bold predictions on how cool dudes will look in the year 2074: “Fashion’s headed back to the future, well, more like it did in Back to the Future Part II. So don’t stress about investing in a tuxedo today, because things will be changing.

For instance, neckties have moved to the back of closets in the past five years, but they’ll come back stronger than ever—so much that we’ll be wearing three or four at a time! And don’t worry about coordinating the color of the ties with a shirt, because we’ll all be using autocorrect clothing where colors and patterns can change on the spot. Nothing matches?

We’ll take care of that 1-2-3. Adjusting on the fly applies to shoes too: We’ll all have onesize-fits-all shoes that can expand to any size, no more laces to tie. Still wearing classic pieces that need buttoning or tying? Your robot valet will do all the work for you.”

generated imagery. You’ll find out more about the studio that gave us cinematic masterpieces like On the Waterfront and Lawrence of Arabia, as well as modern classics such as Ghostbusters and The Shawshank Redemption. As for Columbia Pictures’s torch lady, she was an illustration up until 1992, when designers digitized a painting of first-time model Jenny Joseph as its new logo.

ASK MR. ETIQUETTE Johnell Garmany explains how to sail through life without giving offense.

My office has switched to a business-casual dress code. What does that mean for footwear?

—Anxious in Asbury You can wear a classic polished shoe, monkstrap or loafer with an open collar sport shirt and tailored pants, or perhaps try a sneaker. Skip the running shoes and go with a fashion sneaker—many of which are just as comfortable as your trusty pair of gym sneakers. Pair your footwear with a matching belt—try a multi-colored, braided belt that can catch the color of the sneaker.

Service Beyond THE STORE You already receive packages and food delivery at your house, and perhaps you work in a home office some days—so why not have the best of Garmany come to you as well? Our stylists offer personal closet consultations, where they give your wardrobe a fashion edit and tell you what’s still in style and what needs to go.

We’ll coordinate your existing pieces so you know which styles mix and match, and you’ll learn what pieces are missing and/or need updating for the season. Just give us a call (sorry, we’re not on DoorDash!) and make your appointment today.

In celebration of our 50th anniversary, we share a chorus of cheers from the helms of some of fashion’s most influential brands.

Congratulations on celebrating 50 years of excellence and style. As a cherished family business, your legacy has been passed down through generations, from father to son, bringing to your community the truest expression of luxury. From our family to yours, we want to wish you continued success.

Brunello Cucinelli

The Garmanys—Larry, Johnell and their families have been solid on one commitment in life: to share their operosity and service with different communities that aim to develop their style with quality and integrity.

They're real ambassadors of the Italian dressing culture.

I'm honored to serve the two generations, having Larry as a mentor on an unknown community field.

Massimo Bizzocchi Kiton

Fifty years serving the Jersey Shore and beyond—what an incredible milestone!

As a “Jersey Boy” myself, it has been an especially personal partnership and more importantly, a friendship with the Garmany team for 30 plus years.

Johnell’s vision and leadership has positioned Garmany as one of the premier shopping destinations in the country.

I would be remiss not to acknowledge the patriarch of this incredible 50-year accomplishment, Larry Garmany, whose work ethic, insight, knowledge and style still continue to inspire.

Thank you Larry, Johnell, your entire team and customer base for making it so easy to “Fall in Love with Garmany”!

From our first interaction, it was clear Larry Garmany had a tenacious business acumen and passion for this industry.

Larry, Johnell and their amazing team have created one of the most respected independent luxury apparel businesses in North America. His legacy still lives on in that store which he was so very proud of.

We at Scabal are honored to be part of the Garmany experience.

Happy 50th anniversary, and cheers to many more!

Businesses large and small were reeling when the world came to a halt four years ago. Big box stores across the country suffered; mom-and-pops, including many in Monmouth County, closed. Lives and lifestyles changed for good.

Garmany too faced the same challenges and risks during the global shutdown. As work-from-home schedules became prevalent and uber-relaxed routines the norm, folks weren’t reporting to offices, dining out in restaurants or attending galas. High fashion and dressing up, quite simply, were not priorities. But as time went on, most people felt something was missing from their daily calendars, something few realized at the time was essential.

“People wanted to feel good about themselves and dress well again,” Johnell Garmany says. “Most importantly, people wanted to feel the human connection. I think it’s the No. 1 reason we survived the pandemic.

Everyone was eager to come back to the store, and when things slowly started to reopen, we were there for them.”

But the Garmany story continues today not because the team found the key to survival during the pandemic. It’s because they’ve had the recipe for success from the very beginning.

Theirs is a legacy that began in 1959, when 12-yearold Laureano “Larry” Garmany, with his father and sister (Johnell’s grandfather and aunt), escaped Castrocontrolled Cuba on a fishing boat. When they landed safely in the States, they headed up to Brooklyn.

Larry barely spoke English. He “hated school,” Johnell says, but his dad had a natural curiosity about everything. As a result, he worked hard to learn.

“He had jobs in a library and at a gas station,” Johnell says. “He was out there hustling and had a great work ethic. In fact, they saw so much drive in him that they made him part owner of the gas station before he turned 20.”

With business acumen, Larry, along with his partner, had saved and borrowed enough money for a big investment: launching a men’s clothing store in the vibrant East Harlem neighborhood. It was on Nov. 9, 1974, that Larry opened Capry on Third Avenue between East 106th and 107th.

“Even at a young age, he loved fashion and had great style,” Johnell recalls. Larry introduced shoppers to the impeccable clothing from Italy and France, showing styles and fabrics many here had never seen before. He always spent time with customers, explaining the construction and materials that artisans used to put the garments together. “He made sure to share everything he knew about the clothing with everyone else,” Johnell says.

Customers took note of Larry’s commitment to them, and they trusted that he not only stood behind the products he sold but also that he would find the best pieces for every individual. It wasn’t long that the demand for fine clothing and customer-focused service outgrew the first store, so Larry and his best friend opened another shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Soon after, Larry opened another store on his own in Manhattan, and then in Summit, N.J. While his dad was building the brand, Johnell was developing the same eye and passion for fashion. “I started early and always loved clothing and dressing well,” he says. In fact, between school, sports and extracurricular activities, he often traveled with Larry into the city to work at the stores.

He jokes that the business, which Larry started shortly before Johnell was born, was like his father’s favorite son and always won the attention.

“He missed my first Communion and my football games because he was at the store,” Johnell says with a laugh.

“I didn’t mind it, though, because we knew he was providing for the family.

Sometimes the only time I got to see my dad was at the store, so I didn’t mind that he put me to work.”

Father and son continued to work side-by-side as the business shifted from NYC to New Jersey, where Larry moved his family and opened the Red Bank store in 1989. Now a men’s and women’s clothing retailer, the shop was the first of its kind in town. At the time, Red

36

GARMANY FALL/WINTER 2024

GAR.fw24.history.indd 36

9/6/24 12:22 PM

Bank was struggling economically, and business was slow at Garmany.

“We didn’t sell anything in our first 11 days,” Johnell recalls. “We used to mess up the store so it looked busy. But once word got out and customers caught on to the quality of our service and the clothing, everything took off.”

“Everything” included Red Bank itself. More businesses followed Garmany into town, and Red Bank began to flourish. The mayor during those years even credited Larry and the store for the town’s economic turnaround.

“He was the driving force behind so much—the business, the town, family,” Johnell says. “He taught me so much, and so much more than just fashion: to pay attention to everyone’s needs, to never push someone, to do your best to make others happy.”

Garmany today reflects all of those virtues. You are treated from the moment you walk in, as you’re welcomed by inviting music and the store’s signature scent, Laurentino. It’s a visual feast from there: 40,000 square feet and two levels of shopping space filled with curated collections from the world’s best fashion designers. There are stacks of sweaters, racks of shoes, cases with sunglasses and accessories. Nearly 50 private dressing rooms are available, as is a fully stocked bar for those wanting a sip while they shop.

Following in Larry’s example, the staff is never there to push a sale— they’re style consultants, not salesclerks. They’re on hand to make sure customers find the garments that best fit them and their lifestyles. Interested in alterations or tailoring? Garmany provides those services in-house too.

“Shopping here is an experience, and the foundation of that experience is the way we treat people,” says Johnell. “We’re family owned, family operated, and we treat everyone—customers, staff and partners—like family.

We offer customers warmth and hospitality, personalized style counsel and world-class designer fashion. Those are things my dad preached, and we continue that today. It makes coming to the store fun: We get to see people we love, see their families grow. Everyone becomes friends and family.”

“My dad started it, and I’m proud and honored to keep it going.”

Elements of

MEN’S STYLE

…in which Johnell Garmany solves your sartorial dilemmas.

What new brands are you excited to introduce to Garmany shoppers this season?

It starts with Stile Latino, the Attolini family’s company whose grandfather invented the Neapolitan jacket. The new styles provide a fun take on the brand’s clothes and show off old-world artisanship. Guys also will love Colombo; their modern and fresh takes on classic styles and pieces are already some of the most popular in our store. And there’s Scabal, known for its mills and fabrics. They now have their own product line with great tailored clothing and outerwear.

What about familiar brands—what will catch everyone’s eyes this season?

Brunello Cucinelli has an amazing doublebreasted pinstripe suit that guys will love— heck, I know I’ll be buying one too. There’s also great luxury sportswear from Fedeli, Isaia and Kiton. Fashion’s trending toward dressing up again, with leather bottom shoes and even neckties!

Are there other trends that guys should start following?

I’ve been saying it for a few

seasons, but pleated pants are huge again.

But instead of the loose fits from the 1980s, today’s pleated pants like those from PT and Marco Pescarolo have modern silhouettes and can be worn cropped with sneakers, boots or loafers.

And what about shoes?

I love Brunello Cucinelli’s boots; they’re so stylish. Sneakers continue to be a hit; Zegna’s Triple Stitch is our No. 1 seller, and Christian Louboutin, G. Brown and Common Projects are always big.

Are all trouser styles changing?

Bottoms are getting more relaxed but not quite loose or baggy. And tailored fivepocket pants are still a favorite and staple for every man’s closet.

Can sneakers be worn in a businesscasual environment?

Yes, just keep the white outer sole clean and not grey, and don’t overdo it with too many colors. Follow that and, if dress code allows, you can pull off the sneakers-with-tailored-pants look.

Speaking of fit, made to measure ensures perfect sizing. Why should men who haven’t tried MTM get into it?

The whole process is cool, and the clothes are made just for him. Just like you want to build and customize a house or a car, Garmany’s made to measure works the same: They’re your measurements, your fabric choice, your lining, your details. From talking to our experts to receiving the finished product, the entire process is beautiful.

What outfit would you pick for a fall day at one of New Jersey’s wineries?

Because days can go from cool to warm then back to cool in an instant, you’ll want to dress in layers. You can’t go wrong with a sweater jacket or overshirt from Maurizio Baldassari or Fradi with a light knit beneath it.

Sartorial rules have relaxed in past seasons, but have “black-tie optional” guidelines been redefined?

Black-tie optional means the host really wants you to wear a tuxedo, but it’s OK to wear a black or dark navy suit with a white shirt and simple tie. It’s fine to push the envelope sometimes as long as you’re smart about it. For instance, you can wear sneakers with a tuxedo—though I prefer the classic look from the Frank Sinatra-Sammy Davis Jr.-Dean Martin era. When in doubt, dress similar to the host.

What’s a great gift for the holidays?

A weekender bag from either Brunello Cucinelli or 04561/A Trip in a Bag is a perfect gift for any occasion. Guys also will like a cardigan sweater by Fedeli or Guido di Riccio, or perhaps a comfy throw by Colombo.

WOMEN’S TRENDS:

A Shout-Out

TO FALL

There’s nothing quiet about this season’s looks, from done-up denim to seductive menswear to lavish leathers in nearly every color and texture.

Wine and CHOCOLATE

In a season of sumptuousness, this year’s “it” colors serve up a visual feast. And if you could only choose one of them, it would have to be the rich chocolate brown that’s showing up everywhere, from sweaters and trousers to outerwear and leather anything. On the runways, chocolate enriched everything from Veronica Beard’s sleek leather jackets to Nili Lotan’s menswear-inspired suits and blazers to a luxe maxi coat from Simkhai that looked almost good enough to eat. Luckily, you don’t have to confine yourself to a single color, so this is the perfect time for wine. Savor it in every varietal, from burgundy to merlot to cognac, and pair it with red for a smashing contrast. You’ll also want to wear it as an accent to this season’s menswear looks and pair it with chocolate (think Veronica Beard’s dark-wine leather pencil skirt topped with a chocolate-brown Fair Isle sweater).

And if you like a full-bodied wine, go ahead and embrace top-to-toe merlot, as in VB’s coated-denim pantsuit in a glitzy winebased print.

Wow at Work

If you haven’t already, it’s time to pack away those work-from-home PJs and channel your inner office siren. In fact, consider fall’s most influential trend as the antithesis of WFH. There are sexy menswear shirting and miniskirts, slinky blazer dresses and three-piece suits that are anything but buttoned up, and a continued interest in sleeveless blazers and vests, which are longer this season and less literal than last year’s crop. Expect to see (and lust after) lots of pinstripes, wide stripes, houndstooth and herringbone. To rock the look, choose a lustrous poplin top in a classic menswear pattern and pair it with metallic-coated five-pocket jeans. If you’re not ready to go full-out siren, consider Simkhai’s cinched-jacket pantsuit with trousers cropped just above the ankle or a houndstooth pencil skirt with or without a matching suit jacket. Or go ahead and slay the C-suite in Dorothee Schumacher’s shoulderemphatic silk twill tank top paired with a black satin mini skort.

Set the MOOD

Remember those sweats you lived in back in 2020? They’ve morphed into this season’s higher-style leisure sets, thanks to designers like SER.O.YA and Rag & Bone. Yes, they’re as comfortable as your well-worn sweats, but they’re more than cute enough to wear beyond the bedroom or home office. In a range of colors and fabrics, including French terry, satin, velour and even ponte, we can easily envision them at the shops or aboard a transatlantic flight. And when the holidays roll around, they’ll be perfect for gifting.

Women’s Trends Dolled-Up DENIM

The workhorse of your wardrobe just morphed into a show pony. Denim is still a mainstay, but with the addition of pearls, rhinestones, crystals and metallic fringe, it’s gone playfully glam.

Coated jeans—overlaid with a thick layer of wax to give them an eye-catching sheen— are also having their star turn, in a range of colors and metallics, as well as more traditional denim hues. Whether ornamented or unadorned, this season’s jeans are going wide of the mark, and longer too: Legs are broadening, often straight from the hip rather than flaring below the knee, and sometimes puddling around the ankles—a trend you’ll see in trousers overall.

Leather OR NOT

Whether you go for the real thing or its vegan alternative, leather is the material of the moment. You can’t go wrong with a good leather jacket, and there are plenty from which to choose, from tailored blazers to inventive takes on the classic biker jacket. But when it comes to leather (or pleather), the piece you’ll want most for fall/winter is a skirt (or, even better, several of them). We’re seeing lots of minis—a nod to the continuing popularity of last season’s mod influence—as well as longer skirts, rendered super sexy via ultra-slim silhouettes, ruching and come-hither zippers. And while we have no quibble with basic black, it’s hard to resist this season’s cheeky colors: Think Zimmermann’s full-length leather dress in deep burgundy, Proenza Schouler’s gold leather confection of a slip dress (yes, leather is increasingly appearing in evening and cocktail wear), L’Agence’s fuchsia biker jacket with matching faux-fur trim or A.L.C.’s vegan leather skirt in gunmetal gray. Designers are playing with texture as well, embossing leather to mimic alligator (like Christian Louboutin’s embossed-alligator stilettos), snakeskin, ostrich and other exotic hides, or creating embossed pebbling and patterns (as in Retrofête’s grape patterned-leather maxi skirt).

And a Little JEAN ON THE SIDE Adjacent to the glam denim trend are denim accessories, most notably bags and shoes, and we must say, they’re pretty fabulous. On the runways, jean bags slouched from shoulders—yes, the shoulder bag is back in a big way—or nestled in palms, in every imaginable iteration from totes to clutches.

Rag & Bone, for one, featured a leather-trimmed denim bucket, and Christian Louboutin showed a full denim line, including a mini tote, a crossbody, a wallet on a chain and an elegant clutch (with detachable chain) that’s fit for cocktails and beyond. Shoes, too, are looking good in jeans, and there seems to be no footwear style that isn’t ready for denim. CL, for instance, is offering up toile denim stiletto-heeled boots, saucy denim mules and wellbehaved blue-jean Mary Janes. For the well-heeled denim-lover, stilettos are still standing tall, but wider, chunkier heels—of all heights—are making definite inroads, as they are with footwear across the board.

GAR.fw24.muse.indd 60

9/6/24 12:23 PM

A EUPHORIC RISE

She’s bright, flashy and bold, but make no mistake—actress Sydney Sweeney is far from just an “it girl” of the week.

There’s something almost nostalgic about her look. The pastels, the Barbie pinks, the baby-doll style of her eyelashes—it’s all very ’90s. And actress Sydney Sweeney is, in fact, a ’90s baby. Born in 1997 in Spokane, Washington, she’s just 27 years old, but her breakout performances in HBO’s Euphoria and The White Lotus have rocketed her to the A-list, where that distinctive look and unapologetic personality have generated chatter and headlines. She’s a lot more than another pretty face.

Sweeney’s childhood was far from the glitz and glam. She grew up in Idaho, a self-proclaimed tomboy who tried out every sport she could.

To convince her parents to let her pursue her first acting opportunity, she put together a PowerPoint presentation that laid out a five-year plan for her acting career. It worked.

That relentless drive is at the heart of all that Sweeney does. As she began knocking at recognition’s door in 2018, she filmed Netflix’s Everything Sucks and HBO’s Sharp Objects simultaneously, the former during the week and the latter on the weekend. The roles started getting bigger—a recurring character on Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, and then a member of the Manson family in Quentin Tarantino’s film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The year 2019 brought her big break with Euphoria, where her portrayal of the sweet yet promiscuous Cassie Howard made her the talk of the town, and then it was on to HBO’s 2021 dark comedy The White Lotus. She got Emmy nominations for both performances.

Her filming schedule was relentless; in a 2022 chat with The Hollywood Reporter, she talked about experiencing burnout so intense it sent her into panic attacks.

But you’d never know it to look at her. Sweeney’s style is bold, chic and sometimes sultry. From the custom-red Mônot gown she rocked at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards to the gauzy and sheer Givenchy dress she wore to the Australian premiere of Anyone But You, she’s been eye-catching and freshfaced; seemingly at home in her skin. Perhaps that’s why South Korean skin-care brand Laneige and high-end Armani Beauty reached out to her when they needed a brand ambassador in 2023.

Want more depth? Sweeney already has two producing credits with 2024’s Immaculate and Anyone But You, both of which she also starred in. She’s engaged to businessman Jonathan Davino and loves vintage cars, including a 1969 Ford Bronco she restored herself.

Fresh-faced, yes—but this is a face we expect to see for a long time.

SHAMELESS?

Jeremy Allen White isn’t shy about peeling down to his Calvin Kleins. But no other underwear model matches his charm, complexity and proven acting chops.

Lovable, charming—and deeply dysfunctional. Too emotional to be a true “bad boy,” but too messy and jagged to be the boy next door.

Philip “Lip” Gallagher, the character played by Jeremy Allen White for 11 seasons on Showtime’s comedy-drama Shameless, was a complicated fellow not every tousled hunk could hope to make us believe in, yet White pulled it off with apparent ease. Known for a casual energy offset by hypnotizing charisma, the 33-year-old White has quickly become one of the hottest new actors in Hollywood.

Originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., White grew up with the stage. He took dance lessons throughout elementary school, then at 13 decided to pursue acting. His high school was the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan, and he landed his first role in the 2006 movie Beautiful Ohio. The next few years brought other small parts in movies and TV shows, until in 2011 he snagged the role of “Lip,” the second-oldest child of the hyper-dysfunctional Gallagher family.

Shameless ran for 11 seasons, concluding in 2021. In a 2023 Vogue interview White said he still had “much to prove.”

He’d already begun to prove himself further—with the leading role in The Bear, an FX/Hulu show launched in 2022 about a Michelinstar restaurant chef returning home to work in his family’s beefsandwich shop. That show was met with immediate acclaim from

both audiences and critics. White won an Emmy, a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award for his performance. Nearly overnight, he became a household name and a powerhouse star.

In his personal style, White has been described as “effortlessly offduty.” He lives in hand-distressed denim, rumpled button-ups and his all-time favorite sneaker: the white Nike Cortez. Even when more “dressed” he embodies a high-low sensibility—at the LA premiere of Season One of The Bear he paired a relaxed gray jacket and pants with a white T-shirt, along with those white sneakers again. At the 2024 Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica, decked out in a Saint Laurent suit, he wore a shirt and pants that were tailored loose.

White’s 2024 kicked off with an ad campaign for Calvin Klein, a brand he serves as a global ambassador. The video, which shows White stripping down to not-so-incidental skivvies and ending up on a red couch atop an NYC rooftop, reportedly took less than 48 hours to generate “almost $12.7 million in media impact value.” (Such value, Google says, is “a proprietary algorithm created by Launchmetrics to measure and benchmark the impact of all media placements....” OK.) But the power of this subtle and talented player (does anyone know him by the acronym JAW?) may yet be measured more in rave notices than in muscle buzz. He’s got still more to prove.

THE CHARGE

Alfa Romeo’s electrifying future starts with the next-generation Giulia EV. Italian automaker Alfa Romeo may never replicate the needfor-speed bravado that oozes from famed Modena showrooms, and that’s just fine. That’s because its top brass isn’t necessarily interested in chasing the zero-to-60 records set by luxury sportscar manufacturers—they’d rather take the lead heading into the electric vehicle (EV) era.

And they’re motoring in the right direction, rolling out the next-generation Giulia—the company’s first electric performance sedan available in the U.S.—in 2025. (The first-gen, gasoline-powered Giulia only had slight design tweaks throughout its 10-year history.) More significant than any cosmetic change, however, are the Giulia’s venture to the EV stage and parent company Stellantis’s new STLA EV platform, which is based on the one used for the ’25 Dodge Charger EV. (Yes, the Hellcat people.) This modular platform allows manufacturers to adjust parameters such as wheelbase, length and height in cost-effective ways.

Three Giulia EV trims are on the horizon (though it was unclear at presstime if the internal combustion engine, or ICE, version will be discontinued). Each EV will use an 800-volt electrical architecture that’s believed to have up to 435 miles of range in rearwheel-drive form. The system will be fast-charging, replenishing the battery from 10 to 80 percent power in less than 18 minutes.

82

The base trim will make roughly 350 horsepower, while the mid-range Veloce should hover near 800 ponies. The third variant will be an electrified version of the brand’s iconic Giulia Quadrifoglio. The ICE Quadrifoglio says “arrivederci” in 2025, but Alfa Romeo will reintroduce the model with a hybrid, allwheel-drive powertrain. It’s rumored that a combined 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 engine and electric motor system will make up to 1,000 hp. That’s double the output recorded by the most recent non-EV Giulia Quadrifoglio, and it’s matched by only a handful of other EVs on the market.

Hefty battery packs make the new Giulia EVs heavier than the ICE models, but Alfa Romeo will utilize lightweight carbon fiber material to reduce weight where needed. As the 114-yearold company has done in the past, it emphasizes the driving experience and will outfit the new Giulia EVs with standard luxuries such as lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking and level 3 autonomous driving. For comfort and convenience, the cabin will feature vegan leather upholstered seats, a 14-speaker audio system, a large touchscreen infotainment system (expect a major upgrade from the 8.8-inch screen offered in the ICE Giulia) and other refined details associated with Italian automaking.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia EV is expected to start at $60,000.

Fine Eye For

THE WILD Trained to capture the lush detail of fashion, photographer Drew Doggett turns his camera to nature’s almost undiscovered places. The results are hypnotic.

There are nearly 7,500 miles between Nepal and New York, and the metaphorical distance between photographing Madonna in a studio and photographing the deep, reflective eyes of a silverback gorilla may be even greater. By choosing to take the first journey, fine art photographer Drew Doggett set himself up for the second. Sometimes described as “Vogue meets National Geographic,” his photographs marry the sharpness and style of high fashion with the native habitats of some of the most majestic creatures on earth.

Enamored with the camera since he was a teenager, Doggett explored portrait photography while attending Nashville’s Vanderbilt University. After his graduation, he became

apprenticed to some of the most recognizable names in the New York City fashion scene—Annie Leibovitz, Mark Seliger and Steven Klein, to name three. He turned his lens to Madonna and former President Barack Obama. But it wasn’t until he made that journey to Nepal that Doggett found his true passion. During a snowstorm, he realized that he wanted to tell stories of people, places and creatures in parts of the world that may be “unsung or at risk,” as he puts it.

Part documentarian, part explorer and all artist, 40-year-old Doggett creates works that are stark and dramatic. His animal subjects bleed a human pathos. The next pages showcase just a few, and you can see more at drewdoggett.com.

South Carolina-based fine art photographer Drew Doggett brings a high-fashion sensibility to his wildlife shots. This 2024 shot of a zebra, entitled “Striped Ensemble,” is from Doggett’s Exceptional Creatures series, which seeks to explore the beauty of the world’s most incredible animals. Like human fingerprints, no two zebra’s stripes are the same, a reality that Doggett’s image pulls into sharp relief.

Their grace, power and majesty come through in every image. Opposite page: The king of the jungle takes a moment of reflection in 2023’s “Reverie” from the Exceptional Creatures series.

This page: On his Instagram introduction to 2024’s “Kin,” Doggett explains: “No matter where I am, I always search for moments highlighting the dynamic between a family or a community. Elephants present an especially lovely depiction of family.” It’s hard to imagine that the elephant calf, shown standing next to its mother, will one day grow to match her in size. Opposite page: In “Contact,” produced in 2024, a silverback gorilla makes just that—steady, knowing eye contact with the viewer.

Gorillas are among the closest genetic relatives to humans, and Doggett’s shot captures the beauty and uncanniness of that. There’s something familiar in that gaze, though it never stops being undeniably animal.

SKI SANTA FE

New Mexico’s capital is a famed center of arts, culture and fine dining.

But skiing—who knew? By Everett Potter I had arrived in Santa Fe with no expectations of great skiing. Sure, I had spent time up north in Taos, the latter-day hippie town still redolent of Georgia O’Keeffe and native pueblos, with a reputation for notoriously steep slopes and laid-back locals. Part of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, it’s in very rugged terrain not far from New Mexico’s boundary with Colorado.

But Santa Fe? That first time I visited, skiing was the last thing on my mind. Santa Fe’s reputation was as an elegant and artsy high desert city, the cultural hub of New Mexico, a sophisticated mélange of great food, architecture and art galleries. All of that was indeed there. This is that rarest of cities, a beautiful place of uniquely American culture infused with strong Native American and Mexican influences. A place—did I mention?—located in a high desert. Sure, there were mountains around it. But a ski mountain?

Still, I had packed my skis and boots on this preliminary visit and flown west. I spent a night in the city, eating fantastic food at the famous Coyote Cafe, and in the morning I drove northeast, bent on visiting the lone ski mountain outside the city, Ski Santa Fe. This was my first real experience of what “high desert” means—high as in a city that lies at 7,200 feet above sea level. Ski Santa Fe is only 16 miles from the city, yet the drive up was a journey. The landscape was bone-dry, with sagebrush and cacti, and I wondered what on earth I’d been thinking. But soon enough, pockets of snow started appearing, and then the landscape became blindingly white as I ascended.

The mountain loomed above me at the base village, which already sits at 10,300 feet, and the snow was seriously deep. I booted up and made my way up via the Tesuque Lift, which seemed to go on and on, straight into a deep blue New Mexico sky. The moment that took my breath away came when I got off at the top, at a dizzying 12,075 feet. This was not your typical ski-area vista. It was closer to the view from an airplane, except that it was better, hypnotic and panoramic, and yes, above the clouds.

The mood was also not your typical ski vibe. There were no hard chargers here. Instead, it was mellow and seasoned. Like the group of grizzled guys in Dead T-shirts I met that first time years ago, outfitted in retro equipment that would fail to make the style cut in Aspen or Vail. They were a small group of locals who were all veterans of the fabled 10th Mountain Division, the guys trained to fight in the Alps in World War II. Today Ski Santa Fe is still mellow, but there’s a whiff of well-heeled LA in the air as Californians head for this enormous stash of dry desert powder.

Thankfully, all this bliss does not translate to crowds. Getting here, especially from the East Coast, takes work. It’s usually a two-flight minimum to reach Albuquerque, followed by a drive to Santa Fe. Then there’s the fact that Ski Santa Fe has no lodging on the mountain.

This is not an especially hard thing

to take—nearby Santa Fe has some of the best lodging in the Southwest.

I’ve loved staying at Bishop’s Lodge, part of Auberge Resorts, just outside the city. It epitomizes the subtle luxury found in Santa Fe. Think adobe casitas of varying sizes, a natural desert setting on a hillside and views that go on and on. The kiva fireplaces in the rooms, woven textiles, terraces and local artwork, make it a welcoming and warm getaway, among the reasons that the resort is ranked one of the top 10 in the world by Condé Nast Traveler.

You’re spoiled with choices when it comes to luxury in the city, thanks to the major brands that have taken over some of the most venerable properties. Hotels like the Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado and The Inn of the Five Graces are all on par. Even the four-star hotels in Santa Fe are exemplary in what they offer, from the Inn & Spa at Loretto to the Inn of the Turquoise Bear. I’m partial to La Fonda on the Plaza. Filled with Native American artworks and a member of Historic Hotels of America, it epitomizes Santa Fe’s mid-20th century history. It’s also next to the Plaza, home to the 400-year-old Palace of the Governors and lots of galleries, cafés, antiques shops, restaurants and boutiques.

Any of these properties would be perfect as the base for a trip to Ski Santa Fe. The resort’s lack of crowds is also attributable to its size. It has just seven lifts and 86 trails on 660 skiable acres. Head over the Colorado border, and you’ll discover that Telluride has 19 lifts, 148 runs and 2,000 acres of terrain. Steamboat and Vail dwarf those numbers. Any skier in search of the mega-mountain experience would head elsewhere.

Ski Santa Fe attracts a fraction of the skiers of its Colorado brethren, which is OK with me in a time of long lift lines and overcrowded mountains.

It was carefully designed to maximize its compact acreage, with roughly 20 percent beginner, 40 percent intermediate and 40 percent expert. Take the Santa Fe Super Chief quad up, and you can do a great warm-up run, taking Crossover to Muerte, which brings you to Spruce Bowl, where you can grab what’s left of the morning’s fresh snow. Heading out for blues and veering off for a black run is accessible. Slip into the trees, and there’s excellent glade skiing, most of it black-diamond and double-black-diamond runs.

On the way down the mountain road for après-ski, it’s worth booking time at Ten Thousand Waves, a legendary spa modeled on a Japanese-style onsen. The spa has a bevy of pools, soaking tubs and a menu of treatments.

As for dining, Santa Fe is one of the great food cities in the country. I’m partial to Luminaria Restaurant at the Inn & Spa at Loretto, the fare at the legendary Coyote Café and the Latin-infused cooking at Sazón.

Santa Fe is so seductive that you wish every ski town—presuming to call Santa Fe that for just a moment—had the same flair. It’s also an ideal place to come with a non-skiing spouse, partner or friends, who can wander up and down Canyon Road on a gallery hop or visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.

Yet this is the perfect pairing of untrammeled high desert powder and a luxurious Southwestern lifestyle for those who ski. So when friends ask you why you’re not heading to Colorado or Utah instead to hit the slopes, please just smile mysteriously. Don’t give this secret away.

How Hard Can

5 MINUTES BE?

New workouts promise lasting benefits while offering both brevity and simplicity. The price? Truly intense effort.

We all extol the virtues of pushing ourselves to the limit. But when did you last actually do it?

That’s what a new kind of workout now demands. These exercise routines—many of them only five to 10 minutes long—are blissfully simple, often requiring only a single piece of equipment, such as a kettlebell or a dumbbell, and just one or two kinds of motions. In them, your only adversary is yourself. But what they lack in duration and complexity comes roaring back with a vengeance in intensity. Their proponents promise long-term results in stronger muscles and a tighter physique. Men’s Health magazine calls such workouts “five minutes of hell,” and publishes several explanatory videos showing you just how-to—if you’re up for it.

New York-based fitness trainer and entrepreneur Mathew Forzaglia created one such workout, and in fact focuses many of his programs on similar formats: low time investment with high intensity. You might push yourself to do as many “clean and push press” repetitions (bringing a weight up from the ground to your shoulder, up over your head and then back down

106

again) as you can in five minutes; you might time to see how many “racked squats” (performing a standard squat while holding a weight) you can do in 45 seconds. The point is to use that brief time to totally max out.

“Short, high-intensity workouts have been found to be more effective in burning fat and building lean muscle,” Forzaglia says. “Because the duration is so short, you can push the intensity harder. They also boost your metabolism and increase both muscular and cardiovascular endurance.”

Whatever their muscle-building prowess, are they good for you long term? Evidence is accumulating that they are. According to a 2022 article in European Heart Journal, adults who incorporate short bouts of vigorous exercise into their routines later experienced a lower incidence of both heart disease and cancer than those who didn’t.

Says Forzaglia: “These workouts are popular now because you don’t need a lot of time or equipment to be effective. You can do a short, intense workout anywhere. You also can add them to the end of a longer workout as a finisher, to keep things fresh and challenging.”

Laid-Back

BAJA

Still with a quiet vibe, the peninsula south of California now has wineries that demand connoisseurs’ attention.

As a young man with a refined palate and a taste for adventure, Tommy Cox would often drive south from his home in San Diego, crossing into Mexico through Tijuana and motoring on for another 60 miles into the Guadalupe Valley, in the upper reaches of the Baja California peninsula. It was the early 1980s, and the valley was a sleepy destination, out of sight and mind for even the most avid oenophiles. Though winemaking history ran deep in the region—the first vineyards had been planted in the 1600s—a modern industry had yet to take root. Cox could count the local wineries on one hand. Much of what they poured was flabby and forgettable, high in alcohol but low in interest.

“A lot of it was like cooking wine, the kind of stuff that blows your tongue out,” Cox says. “So I didn’t spend too much time drinking it.”

Fast-forward to the present. As the owner of San Diego Baja Tours, offering guided excursions throughout the peninsula, Cox makes the Guadalupe Valley trip more frequently than ever. But the journeys have evolved. The tastings too. In recent years, an influx of investment and winemaking talent has remade the valley. A highway now splits the valley, forming what is known as the La Ruta del Vino, an upgrade to the dusty roads that Cox once traveled. And more than 100 wineries now dot the landscape, producing vintages of great variety, complexity and distinction.

What remains the same is the low-key atmosphere. Not for nothing has the Guadalupe Valley gained a reputation as an easygoing answer to Napa, bottling the pleasures of a world-class wine region without the traffic jams and crowded tasting rooms, and at a fraction of the cost.

“In the decades since I started visiting, the difference in the wines is night and day,” Cox says. “But the area itself still has that friendly, welcoming and relaxed vibe that drew me to it in the first place.”

For all its growth, the valley also retains something of a frontier spirit, fueled by

108

vintners who are eager to experiment, shaping their own vivid regional style. Climate and geography help provide that freedom. Hot by day, cooled by coastal influences at night and underpinned by stony, fast-draining soil, the valley shares traits with winemaking regions in Spain, Portugal and southern France, and avails itself to many of the same varietals.

All of this makes the valley a fitting setting for alluring properties such as Adobe Guadalupe, a winery-and-boutique hotel where Chilean-born vintner Daniel Lonnberg oversees an eclectic, awardwinning portfolio that spans from Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Syrah to Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc.

An equally wide palate awaits nearby at Duoma, where culinary school grads Carla Maria Figueroa Torres and Eliecer Rodriguez Arroyo produce food-friendly Moscatel, Nebbiolo and Grenache blanc, among others that pair wonderfully with Baja-Med cuisine.

Perhaps no winery is more emblematic of the valley than the Solar Fortún, a family-owned operation with a backstory that speaks to broader changes throughout the region. Established in 2007, Solar Fortún began as a hobbyist’s side project for José Alberto López, an astrophysicist turned gentleman farmer who soon turned over the winemaking duties to his UC Davis-educated son, Santiago. Solar Fortún’s first plantings were a mix of Bordeaux and Rhone varietals, giving Santiago a lot of room to roam. In time he discovered that the Bordeaux varietals were more vintagedependent, where the Rhone grapes were more consistent, regardless of what each season brought. So he began to focus on the latter.

“Before I came on, a lot of wines in this region were big and fruit-forward, in the Napa style,” Santiago says. “We are not trying to make what other regions make. We are shifting toward lighter, fresher wines, and arriving at our own clarity of style.”

THE WINES OF BAJA CALIFORNIA

Solar Fortún, 2020 Mourvedre, $28 A full-bodied red with tantalizing notes of violet and black pepper, this vintage is terrific with grilled meats.

Adobe Guadalupe,* Uriel Rosé, $24 Notes of cherry and berry brighten this food-friendly rosé, which lands lightly on the palate with refreshing acidity.

Duoma “Duo,”* $17 A unique blend of Grenache blanc and Moscatel, Duo offers hints of mint and orange flower that give way to a clean, easy-drinking finish. *Editor’s Note: The lack of a vintage is not a mark against the wines, merely a sign that they are blended from grapes from different harvests.

Private Shopping Service

Garmany Gift Cards: A Flattering Fit

You don’t have to be an A-list celebrity to get the red-carpet treatment at Garmany. Our private shopping service—as well as FaceTime appointments for those who prefer a socially distant experience—will enable you to sample your favorite designer collections at leisure with a knowledgeable member of our staff.

A Garmany Gift Card guarantees your gift will be the perfect style, size and color. Purchase a gift card in the store or online in any denomination you choose for a remembrance that will dazzle any lucky recipient.

Abundant Parking The Garmany parking lot is large, free and secure.

And it puts you just steps from the welcoming red awning at our back door.

That’s A Wrap!

After choosing the perfect present, our complimentary gift wrap makes your Garmany gift extra special. For birthdays, holidays or milestone events, any day is a good day to take advantage of our professionally prepared gift presentations.

Pets Welcome We’re just as pet friendly as we are kid friendly. A pet is a member of the family, and we want to make all your family members feel at home.

Refunds Happen While most stores dread discussing their return policy, we can sum up ours in three words: No questions asked. All we do request is that you bring your purchase back within 31 days.

Made-To-Measure Service As talented as a local tailor may be, he can only provide the limited patterns and materials on hand. At Garmany, our made-to-measure service takes advantage of the relationships we have established with Italian manufacturers to deliver a suit that’s smart and sexy. You won’t find a better short-term plan to look your best.

When you need expert, individual attention, you’ll get it—instantly and for as long as you want. Our knowledgeable staff is well versed in all of the brands we carry, the trends of the season and how to fit every body type. They stand ready to advise you on all matters of wardrobe and accessories.

Shoeshine Service Garmany is one of the few places left where you can still get a meticulous hand shine. In just a few minutes, we’ll have your shoes looking lustrous, and you’ll feel ready to take on the world.

49 Private Changing Rooms No matter where you are in Garmany, you’re only a few paces away from a clean, comfortable changing room. We never planned on 49, but after we located them in the places we knew would be most convenient, that’s how it worked out.

Tailor Shop

Buttons loosen. Zippers break. Garments tear.

Clothing emergencies can happen to anyone and at any time. If they happen to your Garmany-purchased item—or even if your piece needs routine repair— bring it in and let our tailor shop take a look. We’ll be happy to perform minor alterations and get you back in your jacket, sweater, shirt or pants as soon as possible.

Shopping By Appointment If you’re not ready for in-person shopping—or if our store hours don’t fit your schedule, call us. If you’re a morning person who finds 7 a.m. the ideal time for your Garmany Experience, we will arrange to be here.

Does the commute put you on the platform at 9 p.m.?

No problem. Shopping by appointment allows us to give you the personal attention and shopping time you need, when your schedule permits.

Lounge And Bar Like any gracious host, we always offer our guests something to drink. Whether you’re shopping in firstfloor menswear or browsing the women’s collections upstairs, you’ll find a spot to relax, reflect and enjoy coffee, espresso, cappuccino or a cool drink. If the notion strikes you for something more bracing, we have wine, beer and a full bar.

Movie Theater We encourage you to bring the younger set to Garmany, and we’ll attend to them as we would any other family members. Our second-floor movie theater is a particular hit with kids. With our theater seating, a massive screen, high-def picture and awesome sound system, your kids can enjoy a variety of titles from our film library.
