The IssueStyle2020

BREAKFAST under the TREES

A letter from the editor

What a year 2020 has been? No one expected the world changing as it did last year. Are we ready to receive 2021? Of course, we are. We have had ups and downs; fear has taken ahold of our safety net and we had to rethink our entire lives. Creative people were put on hold, but this moment of pause served a greater purpose, reflection on our duties and what we needed to change to adapt.

Do we need to rethink our approach on food, life, and our daily routines? Definitely. In this issue we had the opportunity to create a wonderful photo shoot with the celebrated chef Todd English. He lives in Vegas but flew to NYC in the summer to be able to do this. We had a wonderful time and we got to know the chef a little bit more. His pursuits on global branding, his desire to help people also impressed us.

Same with the wonderful women we have included: Smilka Melgoza, Karin Figueora Cisneros, Gabriela Rachadell de Delgado, Marile Lopez, Karelia Martinez Carbonell, Raquel Watters, Jani Bonatti, Sally Kimball, Barbara Gilbert, Jean Shafiroff, the women from the Hamptons, Manhattan, and also great men.

Kyle Wool who put together the list of stylish men was another key player in this issue. He shares the cover of New York City with Anthony Hayes, another young philanthropist who is making a big difference. Thierry Chaunu and Katia Graytok were key in making the shoot at Merakia bar a big success.

Also special thanks to Braman’s GM Mike Rodriguez for allowing us to do photo sessions at Braman in Miami. This was the year we also thought about the children in the world. In 2019, thanks to power players in Miami like Raul Alarcon, Oscar Haza, Tomasito Regalado, Cheryl Womack, and Manuel Herrero (my dad), we were able to raise money for UNICEF and the Children of Venezuela. It felt incredible. This year we are fundraising for the Polo School. The celebrated chef Todd English will host a special dinner aptly titled: “Polo Under the Stars”. It will be an interesting year for creative people, and we are sure to welcome 2021 with open arms.
