Made-to-measure goods epitomize sartorial expression. Featuring exquisite quality and craftsmanship these one-of-a kind pieces set apart the purveyors of finer things from the rest. For the discerning aficionado, this revelation often comes in the form of a bespoke experience: a completely handmade, crafted from scratch, creative tour de force that results in a singular garment, fragrance or accessory, made for one person only. its outcome is based on a unique design intended to accommodate taste, specifications and measurements. Part of the bespoke romance is the process, which requires a master artisan toiling in solitude, thoughtfulness and patience. With dozens of style decisions, measuring appointments and alchemic considerations, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little wonder that custom wares are all the more coveted creations.

equally sought-after, yet more financially accessible, the made-to-measure option blends the off-the-rack merchandise with some of the modified bespoke practices. Pre-existing patterns are used to personalize a selection of fetching stock to create your personal branding. From exotic-skin shoes to monogrammed handbags to custom diamond baubles, several retailers at aventura Mall offer a hefty assortment of truly unique opportunities that will elevate any panache from great to custom-made. at Louis Vuitton, the arsenal of leather goods offered at the Haute Maroquinerie for women and made-to-order leather and shoe salons for men presents an unusual opportunity to be spellbound by the brand’s savoir-faire. These dedicated ateliers invite discerning clientele to experience the superior level of service and personalization of the louis Vuitton collection. The bags available for customization are available in five styles. With a palette of 26 colors, the shapes come in two different sizes and eight of the most beautiful skins (ranging from supple to firm to exotic), providing more than 40,000 possibilities of execution. The made-toorder footwear salon boasts six models to choose from, four types of soling, three different insteps and eight superior quality leathers in a wide range of colors. The personalized orders are crafted in the special-order workshop in asnières-sur-seine, France, assuring that each item is as original as the person wearing it.

Handbag aficionados can choose from a spate of seasonal color options —camel, mocha, black, red, bilberry, candy, amethyst and poppy—for the main bag color, as well as flap and handle colors, lining colors, tabs, and monogram embossment for the final touch. cartier is no stranger to the one-of-a-kind undertakings. For decades the Maison’s most elite clientele has benefited from the jeweler’s long tradition of private orders. now, those seeking to fashion a unique, olfactory self-portrait can turn to Cartier’s inhouse perfumer, Mathilde laurent, to create a custom fragrance. The initial consultation with laurent takes place at the salon des Parfums in Cartier’s revered Parisian flagship at 13 rue de la Paix. The details of the intimate chat about happy memories and scent associations are translated into precise, scientific formulas.

For those in a need of a made-to-measure service, Mayors Jewelers impresses with prospects of designing customized statement pieces with an array of center stones, settings and materials to choose from; otherwise client’s own stones can be set in a bespoke fashion. During the initial consultation a design expert considers the inspiration and general direction of the piece. Few weeks later the material, stone and design presentation sourced extensively to meet the unique specifications, brings the process one step closer to completion. at tiffany & Co.’s, discerning collectors are invited to work with the company’s distinguished artisans on custom design pieces. This extraordinary journey begins with an appointment at the aventura Mall’s concept store during which specs and ideas are drafted and mapped. The dossier is then passed on to the creative team at the n.Y. flagship, where your personally branded piece begins to take shape. Patience is paramount during this inspired process, as it could take up to several years to secure the kind of stones worthy of the distinct tiffany & Co.’s pedigree. There are virtually no conceptual limits, however the piece can’t be based on any of the tiffany & Co.’s archival assets, making your jewel a true original. When it comes to power dressing, a monogrammed shirt is the proverbial icing on the cake. Thanks to Brooks Brothers’ made-to-measure program, power players can choose from a wide variety of options that embellish one’s wardrobe with a highly polished emblem. The dress shirts available for this service come in four style fits and range from the classic button-down oxford to the non-iron variety.

While there is no instant gratification in made-toorder shopping, the long-term satisfaction will outweigh the wait. n

PANTHER’S PURR CARTIER CELEBRATES 100 YEARS WITH HOMAGE TO THE PANTHER AND THE WOMAN WHO UNLEASHED ITS POWER. What began as a watch motif executed in black-and-white onyx and diamond pavé became an iconic emblem of the storied house of Cartier a century later. In honor of its 100th anniversary, the French maison released a bold and dazzling 56-piece Panthère de Cartier collection with the beloved feline at its center. Originally inspired by Louis Cartier’s artistic director and muse, Jeanne Toussaint, the daring representation of the female essence found fanfare from the likes of the Duchess of Windsor. Ever so smitten with Cartier’s Panthère, not even the duchess’ besmirched standing could stop her from indulging in several of the brand’s audacious statement pieces. The biggest trove of pendants, rings, bracelets and necklaces in the house’s history, this jubilant assemblage focuses on the original art-deco inspiration, with some serious innovation, thanks to the marvels of modern technology. The result is a sparkling collection that’s fit for any lady of the jungle.

IVA KOSOVIĆ, THE DIRECTOR OF CORPOR ATE PARTNERSHIP AND FRIENDS OF NEW WORLD SYMPHONY, SHARES NOTES ON ENSEMBLE DRESSING. By NYCOLE SARIOL // Portrait by MANOLO DORESTE

To some, fashion is a science: a quizzical, molecular makeup of fibers that have synthetically come together to form what we all know as an outfit. But for Iva Kosović, director of corporate partnerships and friends of NWS, it’s an art—plain and simple. One might assume that the Croatia-born director, a classically trained pianist and daily presence at the New World Symphony who cultivates corporate support, would embrace a conventional style. But Kosović’s fashion DNA would hardly be categorized as such; you might even say it’s the very antithesis of the word. “My style is, above all, eclectic,” Kosović asserts. “I gravitate towards flattering feminine silhouettes, impactful prints, intricate textures and always a touch of something unexpected and whimsical.” When it comes to her go-to roundup of designers, however, Kosović claims to have fancied many big names. But it’s Valentino’s diffusion line, REDValentino that adheres most to Kovosic’s contemporary lifestyle. “I like the latest collection from REDValentino because it’s accessible and marries that romanticism of its parent brand with a little bit of rock ’n’ roll and playful art undertones.” Somehow, despite her affinity for edgier, rock-on pieces, Kosović says that her “mother’s eternally classic Cartier Tank watch, a black-and-white checkered Gianfranco Ferré dress from the ’90s with an asymmetrical hemline that [she’s] reinvented in a myriad of ways over the years and a great pair of red pumps,” will forever be emblazoned in her closet as staples. The time spent as an intern at Gen Art, the art and entertainment organization that launches new talent into professional artists, fine-tuned not only Kosović’s business skills but her style skills as well. The stint led her to a never-say-never outlook of dressing and a desire to experiment with fashion. “My job has a strong social element to it that allows many opportunities to have fun with fashion; frequent events and galas require dressing up and I love it,” she admits. While getting glammed up for her power-grind at New World Symphony, Kosović always manages to return to her classic roots: “Elegance is key—classical music is timeless and sophisticated, and I try to keep that in mind.”

A fan of REDValentino, Iva Kosovi´c likes to mix edge with whimsy.

AVENTURAMALL.COM/STYLEDMAGAZINE

Helming four luxury auto dealerships and having sold more than a billion dollars worth of supple leather interiors, 27-year-old CEO Brett David knows a thing or two about leather. So it’s natural to assume that when he brings it up, he might be referring to the softened blue rawhide cabin of one of his opulent Lamborghinis. Instead, it’s a jacket of which he speaks. “Style is very important,” David says assertively. “The way you dress is about where you were born and what you want to be.” For David, it’s more about who he needs to be, and oftentimes, his style is torn between being that youthful 20-something-year-old and the big-man-in-charge at work. “I kind of wear two hats: the business hat during the day, where I try to act like Mr. CEO of my company, and, of course, going home and being 27,” where he says skinny jeans, a V-neck and the unpretentious comfort of a pair of Converse are the best remedies to unwind. Of course, unwinding is something that comes only sporadically when one dons a three-piece suit to oversee a mini empire. And when it comes to the “custom-fitted stuff,” Hugo Boss is his go-to pick of the designer litter. “I love that Hugo Boss style; it’s very slick and tailored. I love being able to walk into the store, take something off the rack, and immediately it fits—I’ll never have to get it altered,” explains David. Though the ambitious entrepreneur has garnered a rep for his keen acumen in menswear, his style palate wasn’t always this refined. “I grew up wearing the same type of jeans with the same shirt and never thinking you could mix black and blue together.” It wasn’t until David took a trip to Paris that his curiosity for fashion really took flight, and he developed his notorious penchant for pointed-tip loafers, specifically those bearing the monogrammed LV logo. “My favorite shoe designer right now would have to be Louis Vuitton. I like their innovated design and zipbacks,” he says, elevating his leg to reveal a bare foot in a black suede loafer from the forenamed French maison. “I think it’s very youthful.” Although he may appear to come with some pretty high and pricey closet standards, David needs only three things to feel dressed up: a watch, a clean pair of shoes and a smile. “That smile, character and your drive can make anything look good.”

FonDATion loUis vUiTTon Paris is reclaiming its role as the cultural groundbreaker with the opening of Fondation louis vuitton at the Bois de Boulogne’s Jardin d’Acclimatation. Designed by legendary architect Frank Gehry, the structure represents an anomaly in a city known for state-controlled cultural institutions. This massive museum, defined by its undulating curves of glass in an empty field of grass, is funded entirely by lvMh, an acronym synonymous with luxury. nearly a dozen years ago, the Pritzker Prize–winning architect was commissioned by Bernard Arnault, lvMh’s chairman, to construct a transparent cloud big enough to house the corporate art collection, galleries for temporary exhibitions and artists’ commissions, as well as an auditorium for myriad performances and events. Think one enormous lvMh fashion presentation on loop with some stunning art to boot. At 126,000 square feet, Fondation louis vuitton is poised to be Paris’ grande dame of the 21st century. The museum and cultural center opened in october with the first european retrospective of Gehry’s work presented by the centre Pompidou, a radical Parisian landmark that, many decades ago, signaled a new and daring era on the cultural landscape. That spirit is sure to continue with the Fondation.

Vuitton is a striking new Parisian landmark created by Frank Gehry.

The FonDATion cARTieR For cartier, another esteemed Parisian maison, support for emerging and renowned artists is a natural extension of the luxury brand’s commitment to pioneering style. The Fondation cartier is celebrating 30 years of generous patronage, based on unique pledges, lived experiences and continuous discourse with artists from around the world. in 1994, after 10 years in a town near versailles, the Fondation cartier moved into an airy building made of glass and steel in central Paris. Architect Jean nouvel designed the space for artists and the public to meet and express their creativity. Above the foundation’s entrance is a “plant wall” that was created by Patrick Blanc, a specialist in tropical botany who invented the technique and coincidently installed the hanging gardens at the Pérez Art Museum Miami. As part of its 30th anniversary, the Fondation cartier is unveiling two exhibitions: Musings on a Glass Box by interdisciplinary design studio Diller scofidio and Renfro, in collaboration with American composer David land and sound designer Jody elﬀ, and Les Habitants by Argentine painter Guillermo Kuitca, featuring Francis Bacon, vija celmins, Guillermo Kuitca, David lynch, Artavazd Pelechian and Patti smith. For the future of art, the Fondation cartier’s support embraces young artists waiting to be discovered and accepted into the exceedingly competitive art scene. hundreds have achieved international recognition since being discovered by the Fondation cartier and granted exhibition space to show oﬀ work. The organization invites fans to read through a digital collection of thoughts and images, titled 30 Years of Stories, by participating artists from the past three decades. contributions include contemplations from cai Guo-Qiang, nobuyoshi Araki and Marc newson.

FenDi FoR FoUnTAins in Rome, where Fendi was born in 1925, the luxury italian house is renewing its vows with the eternal city through the Fendi for Fountains initiative. The multimillion-dollar philanthropic eﬀort is driven by a long-lasting love for the waters of the iconic Fontana di Trevi and the Quattro Fontane. By 2015, as the brand reaches its 90th anniversary, the two will be restored to their original grandeur. The Trevi Fountain, with its Baroque allegories of triumph, is largely made of marble and travertine stone from Tivoli. The stonework, which dates back to the mid18th century, was last indiscriminately cleaned in 1998. The Fendi-financed makeover comes in the form of an overhaul, complete with a rigorous cleaning, new gilded inscriptions, bird control, video surveillance and fresh waterproofing. Quattro Fontane, another major Roman landmark with a quartet of individual fountains, will be restored with a generous donation from Fendi, which includes restoration works, revision and implementation of the water supply system and artistic illumination. For Fendi designer Karl lagerfeld, and its creative director, silvia venturini Fendi, the water flowing through these fountains has provided decades of inspiration. Thanks to this initiative, this tradition will likely carry on. restored with a generous donation from Fendi under the Fendi for Fountains initiative.

For the past 23 years, the German luxury brand has recognized 12 individuals from 12 countries for activism with a donation to the arts program of their choice. Recently, Miami arts devotee, DAcRA ceo and DesignMiami co-founder craig Robins accepted Montblanc’s coveted award and pledged his gift to the acclaimed Design Architecture high school in the heart of the Design District, propelling his reputation as a cultural guru of the Magic city. Montblanc’s artistic promotion also includes theater and music, in addition to visual arts projects for the undiscovered. Young and emerging artists are given a platform to present their work through the brand’s Young Artist World Patronage project. The work—a creative interpretation of the famous Montblanc signature emblem—is shown in more than 400 Montblanc boutiques worldwide, effectively transforming these shops into art galleries and exhibition centers for contemporary art.

It is perhaps one of the greatest ironies in the world of luxury goods that the most preeminent jewelry houses have been historically helmed by men, despite the obvious fact that they mostly cater to women. Tiffany & Co. (tiffany.com) is no exception. Founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1837, the brand’s design direction was presided over by men for more than 175 years. That all changed when Francesca Amfitheatrof, the wildly talented jewelry designer and silversmith who trained at Central Saint Martins and in the Veneto region of Italy, arrived on the scene in September 2013. “I didn’t actually realize that I was the first woman design director,” Amfitheatrof says with a smile as she settles into her design studio, sketchbook and pens laid out in front of her. “It’s always surprising when you hear that, and you always wonder why it’s taken so long. Obviously Tiffany has worked with some incredible women as collaborators over the years, so there’s always been strong feminine input, but I think it’s interesting for me to arrive at Tiffany right now because nowadays women buy their own jewelry. They buy jewelry as accessories—if you think of the price of a bag or the price of a dress in comparison,

you can buy yourself a gold bracelet or a ring. It’s much more of a self-purchase accessibility with jewelry.” But if you thought for a second that this woman’s design direction would be focused on curlicues and dainty dangles, you would be seriously mistaken. Instead, Amfitheatrof’s ethos is one of structured, purposeful design that is at once effortless and engineered. “I definitely have an aesthetic that is more about volume, form and design than something more decorative. I look at proportions, balance and something that has a certain purity,” she says. “It needs to feel effortless, but actually behind it there’s quite a lot of thought process. I am also aware that when you wear jewelry, it’s on your body; it speaks to you.” Her debut collection is aptly titled Tiffany T (pieces range from $350 to $95,000) and celebrates the iconic letter that defines the brand. “For me it was important to do a collection that was very recognizable as being Tiffany—therefore the choice of the letter T, which to me is a square, powerful, tall, graphic letter; and the collection is about 90 degree angles,” Amfitheatrof explains as she flips through a sketchbook full of preliminary design concepts. Hewn of 18K yellow and rose gold, along with sterling silver, the T square bracelets make a singular sweeping statement that culminates in clean right angles and, of course, the simple T form, while cuffs offer T cutouts and ceramic insets or cleverly crafted T clasps. “The chain has a very specific fluid linking system to it; all the hinges are hidden, and it’s got a lot of little engineering aspects to it,” says Amfitheatrof as she narrates the design story of the most intricate piece of the collection—a chain bracelet made entirely of interlinked T’s. So how did Amfitheatrof, whose jewelrydesign résumé reads like a who’s who of luxury houses (from Marni and Alice Temperley to Chanel and Fendi) first get interested in her craft? “If I think back to people I knew, or friends’ parents, I remember all their jewelry. I have a photographic memory for jewelry,” she explains. A chance meeting with a jeweler in a high school art class sealed her fate. “When I was at school in England, my art teacher was phenomenal, and she really opened up my creative side. She brought in a jeweler to teach us when we were 15 or 16, and I made a piece of jewelry in silver and set the stones, which was quite amazing. I kind of got hooked there,” she recalls. After formalizing her arts education at London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art, Amfitheatrof secured an apprenticeship in Italy with master craftsmen. “I learned to mix gold and

I am not a minimalist, but I do like to see a balance and an equilibrium in the pieces that I make,” says Francesca Amfitheatrof, new design director at Tiffany & Co.

silver, and how to be a real professional jeweler. Art school is about creativity, but also you don’t have the pressure that you would in a workplace. And there I just got it. You know when something suddenly just clicks? I did all these rings and chains, and I suddenly knew who I was. From then on my career started,” she explains. It was there in the Veneto region that Amfitheatrof was able to add another feather to her design cap— silversmithing. “It’s really physically demanding. To this day, if I try on a very tight dress, I can’t get my right arm in because I hammered so much. It’s like tennis players!” she laughs. Amfitheatrof’s next mission is to launch next the house’s Blue Book next April, an ultimate

3. collection of 200 statement pieces that could test the mettle of any design director. “I hold on to my aesthetic, but, of course, I’m adorning everything with diamonds and gems,” she says with a flurry of enthusiasm. “You can really have a lot of fun. There’s a lot of fantasy and a lot of storytelling. I am working with the most incredible stones and craftsmen—it’s like couture.” As lavish as the pieces will be, you will still find Amfitheatrof’s singular design aesthetic in every piece. “I am not a minimalist, but I do like to see a balance and an equilibrium in the pieces that I make,” says the designer, who has finally brought the wisdom and aesthetic of the fairer sex to a brand adored for nearly two centuries by women the world over.

“Believer,” 2011 by Jen Stark.

As art and commerce mix effortlessly at the Aventura Mall, two new artists are turning shopping into world-class cultural experiences by unveiling their vibrant moving images.

Styled

Aventura Mall has always provided its visitors with a lot to look at. People-watching, trendspotting and, since 2005, cutting-edge contemporary art competes for shoppers’ attention. Turnberry for the Arts, the program responsible for the museum-quality work hung on the walls or dangling from the ceiling, doesn’t simply place art in the mall. It pairs it with the artist, resulting in unique installations highlighting both the conditions of the site and the artists’ conceptual and aesthetic viewpoint. Often, this involves altering the architecture of the mall: superficially, like in 2007, when the conceptual godfather Lawrence Weiner applied one of his signature text works

to a series of beams on ceiling of the top floor, spelling out “ACQUIRED REQUIRED DESIRED ADMIRED | ALL WITHIN THE REALM OF | POSSIBILITY.” The change also could be structural. That same year, artist Daniel Arsham installed duplicate mall columns that fractured and dissolved in the middle. For the program’s launch in 2006, FriendsWithYou created a bright and fantastic playground intended for use. That same year, artist Jorge Pardo filled a sundrenched corridor with 96 lamps resembling butterflies. However different the artist’s piece, their commonality lies in the work’s ability to “ignite the imagination,” continued…

culture continued... says Jacqueline Fletcher, who directs the program and selects most of the art herself, along with one of Aventura Mall principles Jackie Soffer. She stresses the importance of a broad appeal and of finding pieces that speak to many diverse groups of people. Fletcher states, “We have always chosen work that speaks to everyone, from a 5-year-old to an 80-year-old, an art collector to someone who has never set foot in a museum.” Case in point: Jen Stark, who spent years in Miami before recently relocating to Los Angeles and is known for meticulously cutting and stacking pieces of bright paper until it takes on a 3-D presence. Stark has always been drawn to a hands-on, layer by layer process. A natural outgrowth of her sculpture is stop-motion animation, which is similarly created piece by piece. She discovered this congruency while still a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. In fact, a version of one of her earliest pieces, “Papermation,” is on display at the Aventura Mall. Stark has exhibited widely and has been collected by such institutions as the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami; the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale; and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Ark. Still, showing work in a mall is slightly different than in a gallery. To begin with, viewers are surrounded by elements that seriously compete for their attention. Stark realizes this and believes that to succeed, the art must be “vibrant and attention-grabbing,” which her pieces certainly are. Take “Believer,” inspired by organic shapes found in nature. As frames flicker by, the eye spirals through an endless paper cavern. While these video montages are over in a matter of minutes, they take an extremely long time to make. Sometimes up to three months. Another addition to Aventura Mall’s artistic arsenal comes from overseas. Dutch artist Jacco Olivier is responsible for the holiday-themed work that will be displayed on video screens throughout the shopping hotspot. Olivier’s practice is complex. He combines painting and cinema. After struggling to make large paintings in art school in the 1990s, Olivier began looking at slides of paintings in his studio. As each projected image clicked into the next, he realized he was onto something. Today, Olivier is internationally known for synthesizing the gestural language of painting 62

Styled

(textured splashes of paint, lush patches of color) with the experience of watching a film. Olivier is working closely with Fletcher to create a work catering to the conditions of the site. Something films don’t often do. Like all of the work on display in Aventura Mall, Olivier’s new piece is viewed within the context of a complex environment of a contemporary shopping destination and the expectations of a varied, and often harried, audience. While this commission is demanding,

both artists have shown work outside of the traditional setting before. Recently, Stark created a wall installation at the NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. Olivier was commissioned to create a piece on display at the Madison Square Park in New York City. With that said, there’s no other way to put it; these are two, major public commissions. Each year, almost 30 million people come to Aventura. They come to shop, to people watch, and they come to marvel at art.

“We have always chosen work that speaks to everyone, from a 5-year-old to an 80-year-old, an art collector to someone who has never set foot in a museum.” Jacqueline Fletcher, director oF turnberry For the arts

The world’s premier waTch brands gaTher in basel for The mosT TrendseTTing annual evenT in horology.

Fashion has its catwalks in Paris, and the newest automobile models strike poses in the showrooms of Detroit. But for what’s ahead in timepieces, the horology pundits turn to the exhibition halls in Basel, switzerland, to marvel at best in show in watches. The charming swiss city on the rhine river, nudging the borders of France and Germany, has been a trade-show mecca since the late 1400s. today, Basel is one of Europe’s leading trade show centers, best known not only for the blue ribbon art exhibit but also for Baselworld, the globe’s leading watch and jewelry exposition. inside its spectacular halls, the exhibitors’ remarkable, multifloored pavilions are designed by such notable names in architecture as herzog & de Meuron and Thierry Despont. They feature such fantastic details as an aquarium wall with exotic fish, seen at the Breitling kiosk or, in case of Patek Philippe, a multimillion dollar three-floor glass

edifice—spread across arcades decked out in flowers and benches. But it’s the timepieces on display that merit the most attention. Baselworld, a profusion of creativity and expertise, is an ideal platform for world-firsts, like the first-ever titanium watch, created by Porsche Design and iwc over 30 years ago. today, that durable, lightweight metal is widely used for watches like the Porsche Design’s own P’6620 Dashboard chronograph. likewise, omega unveiled its co-axial caliber here, arguably the most significant improvement in mechanical movements in 250 years. watchmakers also use Baselworld to reveal their unique and limited editions, like the Dior Viii Grand Bal “Fil de soie,” a ladies’ gold and diamond self-winding watch that is complete with a rotor (visible on the dial) literally stitched with a web of silk threads. For taG heuer, the most recent limited edition timepiece debut included

the Monaco V4 tourbillon driven by belts—not gears—thinner than human hair. technological improvements aside, every year the show is credited with launching a legitimate trend that effects product availability at every major retailer worldwide. it was at Baselworld a few years ago that we first saw the ever popular ceramic dials, which eventually become the rage among those in the know. similarly, the resurgence of a thin timepiece that blossomed in juxtaposition to a heftier model made its first market impression in Basel. The indicators on this barometer of upcoming trends in watchmaking point toward several new and exciting shifts. The exhibitors at the last fair showed a continuous penchant for the merger of jewelry design with timekeeping, as demonstrated by louis Vuitton’s Dentelle de Monogram watch inspired by the house’s bijoux collection. The reworked vintage was a strong tendency manifested by rolex’s sea-Dweller 4000, which coincidently relaunched its popular dive-watch look with that model. other styles making their mark included the skeleton watches that display mechanical workings, like corum’s admiral’s cup ac-one 45 squelette, and dual time-zone pieces, aka traveler’s watches, such as Breitling’s navitimer GMt pilot’s watch or ulysse nardin’s innovative Dual time Manufacture timepiece. with the upcoming 2015 show, thanks to a more robust economy and mechanical advancements, the collectors can look forward to a year of technical and aesthetic innovations on a level not seen in years. haute horology is poised to leverage the richness of its heritage, all the while mesmerizing the world with its tricked-out commodities that keep the magic of time alive.

Clockwise from top left: Bulgari shows timepieces and fine jewelry; Dior unveiled its VII Grand Bal “Fil de Soie” at Baselworld; window displays are covered by cloth hoods until the moment of the grand reveal; the town of Basel.

baselworld may be the world’s largest and most important watch show, but it isn’t the only one. the salon international de la haute horlogerie began with cartier’s exit from baselworld in 1991. the move shifted the world’s attention from the town of basel back to Geneva, the watchmaking epicenter, by setting the stage for such luxury brands as iwc, Jaeger-lecoultre and Montblanc. unlike baselworld, this nearly 23-year-old fair is open to industry insiders only.

Le Beau

MONDE

When Carolina Melo is not working on business contracts or busy raising funds for charities, she jet sets with gusto. Always on the go, this girl-aboutworld ﬁlls us in on how to go places in style.

Carolina Melo makes being a legitimate multihyphenate look easy. But this attorney-entrepreneur-socialite-powerhouse fashionista is more than just an accomplished businesswoman with a flair for fashion. Brazilian-born Melo shows how deeply she cares about her roots through her commitment to charitable causes that champion her homeland—a passion that takes precedence over frivolity whenever she co-chairs the BrazilFoundation Gala in Miami. It’s this type of engagement, mixed with work obligations and plain wanderlust, that has taught Melo how to travel right. Still, judging by the assortment of shoes and pulled-together looks she tends to pack in her Samsonite luggage, i.e., multiples of stilettos, wedges and her favorite mariniere shirts, stacks of travel trunks filled to the max constitute a necessity for a three-day trip. “I’m a heavy packer. The love that whole fashion thing!” explains the busy maven as she considers some stylish options laid out on her bed for an upcoming excursion. “I became more practical over time, but I’m a work in progress when it comes to packing.” Despite the number of fashion choices in her suitcases, nothing in Melo’s luggage gets in by happenstance. It takes about two days to carefully edit her selections. The intensity of her agenda during those getaways dictates a lot about this tactic. “Between the long days jammed with meetings, dinners and events, it’s just endless!” Melo justifies. Considering the climatic differences at each of her favorite destinations, Melo swears by certain wardrobe staples that help her deal with the weather factor in stride. When in the tropics, she can’t live without chic swimwear, a subject most Brazilians know all too well. “Lenny Swimwear is an easy choice. The one-piece design is so sophisticated. It makes me feel elegant,” Melo divulges. “Whenever you need to spend a full day in a swimsuit, a one-piece is the perfect choice.” She also raves about Loer cover-ups, continued… 144

One of Melo’s favorite destinations is Italy. When in Tuscany, she prefers the countryside of Montefollonico, located just southeast of Siena.

STAY La Chiusa, formerly an old stone farmhouse, is a quaint hotel and restaurant tucked away in a beautiful corner of the Tuscan countryside. Dania and Umberto Lucherini, the hotel’s owners, also oversee the rustic restaurant at the hotel. ristorantelachiusa.it

EAT The menu at La Chiusa focuses on Tuscan classics. The standouts include pappardelle Dania, wide noodles tossed with tomatoes, garlic and two cheeses, and the wine list, which lists up to 120 choices that lean appropriately toward the great Tuscan reds.

DO La Chiusa offers some of the most spectacular views of the nearby Montepulciano just across the valley. Alternatively, sign up for cooking classes with Dania and leave with a thorough understanding of pasta making. 146

continued... which exude charm and polish, thanks to some top-notch details. Another must-have, however encumbering, is hats. Melo’s well-documented hat fetish spans all types of headwear. “I just love them!” she admits, and glances at her sizable collection. “Every trip I buy one, so I travel with empty hat boxes. It used to drive my husband crazy, but now he does it too!” Valdez Panama hats rank high on Melo’s current list of favorites. But when she heads over to frostier corners of the world, Melo doesn’t leave without a shearling coat, a motorcycle jacket and a raincoat. “I adore Burberry, and when they make these coats so thin that you can actually put them in your handbag, what’s not to love?” she muses. The fashion gods are in the details, and this fashionista knows well the power of a good accessory. “I live by bags that are light and easy, and I currently am in love with my Fendi crossbody bag.” Not surprisingly,

3 Melo appreciates jewelry and uses it wisely to dress up looks that can take her from a business luncheon in New York to a cocktail party in Sao Paulo. “I always take many necklaces and bracelets,” she says. “The new collections of Oscar de la Renta earrings are very colorful and big. I usually take three options.” The miniature beauty products that make it into Melo’s luggage are always packed and ready to go. Those include Oribe’s texturizing spray, Crest White Strips and Philosophy facial peelings. “My skin is tricky sometimes from all of the flights, so that’s on top of my ‘to pack’ list,” she explains. Arguably, Melo’s greatest challenge today is packing her 9-month-old daughter, whose passport already boasts proof of her jet-setting ways. Judging by the tot’s mesmerized glance at a lineup of colorful shoes her mother is packing for an upcoming trip, this apple has not fallen too far from the tree.

THE CELEBRATION DIAMOND COLLECTION

EXPERTLY CUT TO BE EXCEPTIONALLY BRILLIANT.

At Zales, our mission is to extract the brilliance from each of our hand-selected diamonds through exacting cuts you can’t ﬁnd anywhere else. Too

shallow a cut lets light leak from the bottom (a), and too deep a cut won’t allow light to radiate through the top (b). The Celebration Diamond

Collection perfects this balance (c). Each cut in the collection multiplies, intensiﬁes and celebrates light in uniquely powerful ways. And of course,

every Celebration diamond is backed by an equally stunning lifetime guarantee.* That’s a promise only The Diamond Store® can make. Visit Zales.com to learn more. Let love shine.®

D I A M O N D S S O E X P E R T LY C U T, W E G U A R A N T E E T H E M F O R L I F E.* *When you make a diamond purchase, visit Zales, Zales Outlet or Gordon’s Jewelers for regular diamond inspections every six months. If your diamond unfortunately should lose its beauty by being chipped, broken or lost from its original setting, it is eligible for replacement by Zales, Zales Outlet or Gordon’s Jewelers at no charge to you.
