his issue, dedicated to global style, called for an appropriately global setting for our cover shoot. Armed with inspiration and a crew of 15, we headed to Tulum—the wildly chic Mexican destination frequented and favored by the fashion elite. Model Hana Jirickova, who is on the brink of stardom, effortlessly shows off Spring’s best looks in sumptuous shades with a few carefully chosen prints. Back in New York City, during the blizzard of Fashion Week, supermodel Jessica Stam struck her signature pose for our second cover sporting the season’s most prevalent trend—black and white. Despite having major bragging rights—since her start in 2002, Stam has had Marc Jacobs name a bag after her, been called Steven Meisel’s muse and appeared on a Vogue cover touting her as one of the world’s next top models—Stam was most intent on talking to us about her charity involvement in Many Hopes, an organization which focuses on bettering all aspects of children’s lives in Kenya—certainly a cause we can all get behind. In Paris, powerhouse writer Lynn Yaeger checks in with a report from the fashion front lines and shares which international darlings are now sitting to her left and right in “The New Front Row.” In our "Style Diary,” we found inspiration from Hong Kong, London, San Francisco and of course, New York. Our ambassadors of style shared their Spring must-haves, as well as other insider hot spots in their respective cities. Kate Betts, former editor in chief of Harper’s Bazaar, examines the return of the pantsuit (yes!) in “The New Power Suit” and declares how in today’s world, women need to be flawless “from the boardroom to the carpool line.” In that vein, we have introduced new trend pages to our line-up to further distill the season's most coveted accessories, making it even easier to shop Bal Harbour. Although, we wouldn't blame you if you'd prefer to just browse the new Peter Marino-designed Chanel boutique, which will open its doors in March. With its commissioned art installations and grand scale, the new boutique is on par with the house's famed Paris flagship. Here’s to inspiration from around the world.

“Catherine Deneuve. She’s a style icon for sure.” SARAH GORE REEVES
JESSICA CRAIG-MARTIN New York-based photographer Jessica Craig-Martin has had ready access to the glitz and glamour of well-heeled society through her work for Vogue and Vanity Fair. Cropped and obliquely angled, her photographs rarely allow for the identification of her subject’s faces, thus subverting the concept of society page party pictures. Her work has been on view at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia and PS1/MoMA, and is included in the collections of the New Museum, the Saatchi Collection and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
JACKIE COOPERMAN

Jackie Cooperman has worked as a television and print journalist in London, Milan and New York. She covers fashion, design, culture, travel and food for publications including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Financial Times and Food & Wine. “I really enjoyed interviewing Tanya Ling, and seeing how she balances her commercial work with her more personal art.”
“I most admire my (late) mother’s fashion sense. As a criminal defense attorney, she wore Max Mara suits and Chanel lipstick to meet clients in prison, and then cooked and gardened in Missoni, played with her granddaughter in funky Etro blouses, and made everything look chic and easy.”

MODEL WITH A MISSION
Jessica Stam shares what inspired her to become an ambassador for the Many Hopes charity.
“I had been searching for a charity that really spoke to my heart for a long time, and then about a year ago a friend introduced me to the founders of Many Hopes. Their mission is to provide some of the poorest children in Kenya with a loving family and quality education. They rescue girls from abuse, abandonment and the street and provide them with the tools they need to become empowered women. They believe that through love and education, we can change the lives of children who have endured the worst poverty and exploitation, and eventually eliminate the causes of the injustice they have suffered. Many Hopes believes in tackling the causes of injustice, not just housing the victims of it. I was so moved by the efforts of the charity that I decided to come on board as an ambassador. Last December I visited the girls’ home in Kenya so that I could learn how to fundraiser for them. While I was there I became even more inspired by these young girls as I got to know them, their house mothers and the local staff. We are currently planning a spring gala in New York.”

he prolific German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton purchased his first camera when he was 12 years old and instantly fell in love with the medium that would provide his entrée into the beau monde. His erotically charged, fetishistic, black-and-white images of Amazonian supermodels and glittering socialites defined an era in fashion and exploded antiquated distinctions between art and commercial photography. He was a true iconoclast with an eye for beauty and a taste for the louche life. “My job as a photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain,” said Newton, who died on January 23, 2004, in a car accident at the Chateau Marmont hotel in

Los Angeles, a place fittingly associated with celebrity and scandal. Taschen’s World Without Men captures the late artist’s most provocative, tantalizing images from his formative years to his ascendance among photography’s elite, a period that covers the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. The book is accompanied by Newton’s own journal entries describing the mise-en-scene and delicious details of each shoot. Taken as a whole, this intoxicating compendium supplies ample, eloquent evidence of the groundbreaking vision that secured Newton his place in the firmament of modern photography. To understand the enormous influence he exerted, one need only flip through the pages of today’s leading fashion magazines, all of which owe a debt to the master’s fearless sensibility and unerring eye.

HOUSE PROUD
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli have amped up Valentino’s romantic charm with an hefty dose of rock ’n’ roll. Legendary designers are hard acts to follow. The fashion industry has already witnessed some messy transitions from elder to younger generation. During Tom Ford’s five shaky years as creative director at Yves Saint Laurent, Ford has said that Saint Laurent himself used to send hate mail. There have been five head designers at Bill Blass since the company changed hands in 1999. And after Valentino Garavani stepped down from Valentino, in 2007, there was turmoil around his replacement, Alessandra Facchinetti. Two seasons later, she was out, and Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, formerly Valentino’s heads of accessories, took her place. It could have been just another fashion succession drama. But then people saw what the two designers, a professional team since fashion school, were sending out on the runway: fragile, serene clothes with a hint of storybook sweetness, a hint of retro and very demure sex appeal. And they did it really consistently. Small armholes, jewel necklines and puffy sleeves have now become as much a Valentino signature as Garavani’s fire-alarm red, which Chiuri and
Piccioli have embraced as their own.“Our intention was to balance the brand’s heritage with our personal style,” says Chiuri. “There was a search for delicacy, which we linked to grace, something we like in women.” Valentino went from being a mainstay for red carpet divas, but without a lot of ready-to-wear heat, to a critics’ darling and a next-generation socialite powerhouse, attracting girls of the moment like Alice Dellal, Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, Chloë Sevigny and Florence Welch. Under Chiuri and Piccioli, Valentino isn’t just beautiful, which it always was. It’s also cool again. Now, in their tenth season, the designers may be sticking with what’s working, clothes-wise, but the business is not sitting still. Valentino returned to profitability in 2011. In January of last year, Chiuri and Piccioli took over the men’s collection, which they’ve already expanded into a sportswear capsule called Camouflage, debuting this April. Last year also saw the launch of a new store concept, designed by David Chipperfield, with an eclectic approach, the look and feel changing from room to room to read more like a home than a sterile shop.

“Like we do, David believes in the necessity to renew oneself while preserving memory,” says Piccioli. Valentino’s Milan flagship—some areas sleek (black and white checkerboard marble and curtains of glass tubes), some clubby (walnut panels, inlaid bronze chandeliers)—opened first, with Beverly Hills following soon after. Not surprisingly from two designers with a background in shoes and bags, accessories have become a core strength, too, with the new bag line, Rockstud, a hit— something both Chiuri and Piccioli say they’re especially proud of. “Fifteen years ago when we started at Valentino,” says Piccioli, “we wanted to prove that even a fashion company that was born as a couture house could create bags and shoes as if it was born as an accessories firm, and we succeeded!” All this promise caught the eye of the Qatari royal family, who bought Valentino from Permira group in October of 2012 and has since increased funding for Valentino, especially its international expansion. Though Valentino started as a company to serve the needs of a particular European jet set, today we live in a borderless world. Chiuri and Piccioli’s thick, thick accents may say Italian, but Valentino speaks many more languages now. “The more we travel and discover women everywhere,” says Chiuri, “the harder it is to find real differences linked to geographic locations. Women are multifaceted. The same woman may want to be fragile, sensual, romantic or masculine all at the same time.” Adds Piccioli: “The universe of women is difficult to define. This is why it is so fascinating.” BH

THE NEW POWER SUIT
Ladies who lunch is so 2012. This year is all about outfitting women for the multitasking lives they lead—and making sure they look flawless from the boardroom to the carpool line. BY KATE BETTS
af Simons must have known instinctively that he couldn’t open his debut ready-to-wear show for the House of Dior with one of the ultra-feminine 1950s skirt suits the French couturier made famous in 1947. No, yards and yards of sweeping skirts and tiny nipped-in waists—what Dior called the Corolle, or flower look—would be totally passé for one of the trendiest designers in today’s fashion firmament. As they say, we’ve come a long way, baby. Like many designers this season, Simons instead responded to the alpha women and power brokers who dart from the boardroom to the banquette at the Four Seasons or the bulkhead seat in a G5. Those maneuvers require something sleek and fitted, such as Spring’s ubiquitous pantsuit. Simons accessorized his tailored black pantsuits with feminine flourishes such as a chic red lip and a scarf tied at the neck. Even in the evening, Dior customers will be suited up in pencilthin pants topped by strapless bustiers in colorful jacquard fabrics. He hasn’t been the only one appealing to the workingwomen who buy designer clothing. Stella McCartney, Giorgio Armani, Victoria Beckham and Hedi Slimane also bet their Spring 2013 collections on slim, tailored pantsuits. McCartney cut hers in baggy, low-slung shapes, while Slimane turned back the clock to Yves Saint Laurent’s romantic 1970s slouch. The ‘80s made a subtle comeback on Beckham’s runway, where skinny black pantsuits were shown over strappy bra tops. And at Balmain, suits equipped with linebacker-sized shoulder pads were a flashback to the days when women needed reinforcement to smash glass ceilings. But let’s not forget just how long it has taken for the pantsuit to gain credibility in the workingwoman’s wardrobe. Coco Chanel was one of the first to introduce pants for women back in the 1920s. Inspired by the sailors on the Duke of Westminster’s yacht, Chanel’s pants were for casual dress and had to be accessorized with masses of gold chains to soften their masculine look. Chanel’s idea didn’t really catch on, unless you count adventurous daredevils like Amelia Earhart, who made pants part of her iconic look out of necessity. Hollywood screen sirens such as Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and, later, Katharine Hepburn gave the masculine look a sexy edge. Dietrich famously swaggered around a nightclub in top hat and tails in the 1930 film Morocco. But for workingwomen who couldn’t play with gender-bending looks at the office, pants didn’t become a reality until World War II, when “slacks girls” headed off to the factories in coveralls and

dungarees. By the time the GIs came home, Rosie the Riveter had slipped back into her girdle, hat and gloves. It took a cultural revolution to finally liberate women and get them into pants. By the mid-1970s, women were joining the managerial work force in record numbers and adopting the menswear look—but with a skirt. In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent had tested society’s rigid dress codes when he introduced his famous Le Smoking tuxedo. Women’s Wear Daily called it Saint Laurent’s “elegant reign of terror.” But women loved the freedom of the suit, particularly at black-tie galas. And in 1975, Armani came to the rescue of workingwomen, offering up a softer version of the cookie-cutter menswear-style suit by combining fluid fabrics with firm shoulder pads. At the time, Armani said that he was reacting to the masses of women who were breaking into the workplace. He felt they needed a stronger, more dignified image that adhered to the rules of men’s uniforms. The power suit was born. Donna Karan further smoothed out the wrinkles of dress codes by layering her famous bodysuit under draped jackets and pants. In the 1990s, minimalists such as Helmut Lang and, later, Slimane further streamlined the pantsuit, tightening the armholes of jackets and cutting skinny, sexy pants.
It took a cultural revolution to finally liberate women and get them into pants. The image of Melanie Griffith strutting across the big screen in a black pantsuit with huge shoulder pads in the 1988 movie Working Girl remains a leitmotif of the breakthrough moment when pants became acceptable in the workplace. But the reality is that progress in the dresscode department has been slower in the power corridors of Wall Street and Washington. As Madeleine Albright once reminded me, it wasn’t until the 1990s that women were allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor. No matter how many glass ceilings they shatter, many powerful female CEOs and CFOs on Wall Street still feel they cannot risk their hard-earned status by fooling around with fashion. A while back my friend Alexandra Lebenthal, the president and CEO of Lebenthal & Co., told me a story about switching outfits between appointments because she couldn’t wear something frivolous to a meeting with the treasurer of a big bank. She changed into a pinstriped pantsuit because she couldn’t risk looking inappropriate. Hillary Clinton has changed all that with her signature, brightly colored Oscar de la Renta pantsuits, a beacon of confidence in any crowd of dark suits. They say women opt for pantsuits, and something more secure, when the economy tanks or politics get dicey. You could blame the current crop of pants on the looming European debt crisis or even stagnant unemployment, but as Raf Simons confirmed on his runway, the trend is really all about modern glamour. And Hollywood’s award season has proven him right, as celebrities such as Anne Hathaway and Emma Stone traded in overblown ball gowns for Saint Laurent’s stovepipe pants or Gucci’s emerald-green jacket and pants on the red carpet. Worn with a feminine silk blouse or sexy heels, the look is hardly masculine. Even Christian Dior would approve. BH

MORE THAN A MUSE
As a creative consultant for Prada and Miu Miu, not to mention creative director of Garage Magazine and a front row fixture, Shala Monroque has some serious fashion flex. BY STELLA LEE PHOTOGRAPHY BY MELANIE GALEA
On any given day in Brooklyn, you may find fashion starlet Shala Monroque strolling down Flatbush Avenue clad in a chic Prada sheath, grocery bags in hand. The creative consultant behind Prada and Miu Miu and creative director of Garage Magazine is a St. Lucia native who has risen to the very top of New York’s fashion hierarchy. But, despite her frequent travels between Milan, Paris and London, this jet-setter’s core sense of style remains rooted in her colorful Caribbean upbringing. Here, Monroque shares her top looks, her favorite New York haunts and tips on where to go to get a little taste of island life in the big city. How would you describe your personal style? I would say my style is classic with just a bit of an edge. Prada, Miu Miu and Balenciaga are my go-to designers. What’s on your current wish list for the Spring? I particularly love Givenchy’s plexi-and-wood pumps, Balenciaga’s rings and tiaras, as well as their high-waisted trousers. Oh and Jil Sander. I just love the whole collection. I’ve also been eyeing the tie-dye mink coats from Miu Miu and some pieces from Prada’s Japanese-inspired collection. What would you say is a must-have for any woman in NYC? I think the iPad mini is great; I love reading the paper and it fits into a small purse.

How do you spend your free time? Any favorite spots in the city you frequent? I’m pretty much a homebody, I absolutely love having friends over, cooking and drinking wine while yapping until the sun comes up. When I’m not doing that, you can find me having dinner at Indochine, or Miss Lily’s. I try to catch up on movies as it’s good to know how Hollywood is affecting the global psyche. I love going to the Met, The New Museum and MoMA. In the springtime, Brooklyn Botanic Garden is also spectacular. Any recent exhibitions that have been particularly memorable? Actually, one of the most memorable collections I recently saw was in Berlin. I visited the Bunker, which houses the collection of Christian and Karen Boros. One artist whose work I loved and that really stuck with me is Alicja Kwade. With being so far removed from your home in St. Lucia, is there anywhere you go to remedy homesickness? Miss Lily’s! The reggae music just swoops me right back to my childhood and I’m so happy that I don’t live too far from it. And then there’s grocery shopping on Flatbush Avenue! BH
TANYA LING DRAWS A CROWD The talented Londonbased artist has captured the attention of the fashion world with her fanciful illustrations. BY JACKIE COOPERMAN ILLUSTRATIONS BY TANYA LING From the garden studio behind her London home, artist Tanya Ling has become a fashion world darling, rendering feminine and whimsical illustrations for luxury brands and magazines like Vogue and Elle. “Home for me is a piece of paper or a canvas. I see those as a territory, a principality, an empire. That’s the world I make,” says Ling, 46, clad in her typical workday ensemble of “slightly luxurious” but somewhat consumed cashmere (her husband loathes moth balls) and a belted, paint-splattered safari dress. Indeed, Ling, the Calcutta-born daughter of peripatetic Indian academics, has always defined herself through her art, using creativity to balance a childhood spent in India, Africa, America and Europe. “I was an only child, so painting and drawing became like a companion,” Ling says. “It was stable and I could control it. From that perspective, my life hasn’t changed much.” Perhaps, but Ling’s life has become notably more glamorous since her early days toiling to gain admission to London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, from which she graduated in 1989. “I never really planned to make a living out of fashion illustration,” says Ling. “I was quite naïve and thought everything was photography.” After working as a designer in Paris for Dorothee Bis and Christian Lacroix, Ling returned to London, opening an art gallery called Bipasha Ghosh with her husband, contemporary art dealer William Ling. In 1996, Ling debuted her drawings at artist Gavin Turk’s Charring Cross Road studio, and soon was working on commissions for British Vogue, Diane Von Furstenberg, Selfridges and Harrods. Ling has also designed her own ready-to-wear collections, which have sold at Henri Bendel, and has more than 50 drawings in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s permanent collection.

“When I design clothes, I draw the shapes out 20 times until they are singing,” she says. “But someone has to make the pattern and cut the pieces for me.” Despite her acclaim, Ling is still striving. “I don’t know what my biggest achievement is. I’m hoping that’s still coming,” she says. “I get very excited with every new job. I look back and it’s all one big ball of excitement. Even when some of my work looks like the lines have been drawn very quickly, my husband points out it’s taken me 46 years to get to that specific mark.” Ling’s enthusiasm for fashion and the subtle ways of personal style derives as much from classical sources as from Pop Art, composers like Chopin and Mahler, writers Sylvia Plath and Daphne Du Maurier, and director Alfred Hitchcock. Ling also finds inspiration from an impressive circle of friends, including fellow artists Georgie Hopton, Gary Hume and John Currin, as well as Nina Ricci creative director Peter Copping. “Andy Warhol said, ‘Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art,’” Ling says. “If no one ever asked me for commercial work again, I would still be doing what I’m doing.” A consumer of fashion magazines since she was a little girl reading her mother’s copies of Vogue, Ling cites Diana Vreeland, Yves Saint Laurent and Coco Chanel as important influences. Ling has passed her love of fashion and art to her three children: 23-year-old model and DJ Bipasha, known as Bip; 21year-old son Pelé, a theater producer; and her 16-year-old daughter Evangeline, a student and sometime model, whom her mother describes proudly as “quite editorial-looking.” From her warm studio, Ling says she is ready for new projects, from mastering Instagram and working on her blog to her new book, a series of “idea drawings” for clothes, hair and shoes that Ling hopes will be published by the Fashion Illustration Gallery this summer. “I’d also love to make huge paintings, more like poetry, that aren’t answerable to anyone,” she says. “I’ve got all this stuff in me that needs to come out.” BH

There’s something fascinating about identical twins, particularly when they’re blonde, elegant and, in the case of Dawn and Samantha Goldworm, founders of the innovative scent company 12.29 (their joint birthdate), effortlessly beautiful. So perhaps it was expected that they should attract attention on a Friday afternoon perched at the Club Room bar in New York’s Soho Grand Hotel. Dawn languidly strolled in first without a hint of makeup, wearing a relaxed black blouse and her flaxen locks loose and wavy, followed by the sportier Samantha, with her hair scraped into a low chignon and wearing a fitted black leather pencil skirt and tuxedo-shirt-inspired top. Surreal as it was, it could have been a Martin Schoeller shoot. Opening up on everything from high school talents (Dawn in ballet and Samantha in gymnastics, volleyball and soccer) and personalities (Dawn an artsy introvert and Samantha a self-confessed “people person” and former vice president of her sorority Delta Gamma) to post-college pursuits (Dawn, until July of last year, as a nose for Coty fragrances, and Samantha, a decade-long career built on consumer insights for Unilever, Lancôme and American Express), the New Hampshire-born sisters were opposite but complementary. “We were definitely two parts of one person growing up,” Dawn says with a laugh. “Then I went to NYU and Samantha to University of Miami. We sort of went off to find out more about ourselves.” “But as we’re getting older we’re merging into more of one person again,” Samantha finishes, passing a plate of salmon tartare they were sharing. The sisters first combined their talents in 2009, when they launched 12.29 as a side project while they worked day jobs. Dawn was living in Paris at the time and had an idea to create a custom scent for accessories designer Corto Moltedo, a close pal from college, and his new store in Palais Royal. The fragrance, an energizing citrusy aroma to match the designer’s bold handbags, was a hit. From New York, Samantha jumped in as business director, and the sisters continued to create scents for unconventional venues and events, such as a smoky incense fragrance for Rodarte’s Spring 2010 runway show, intriguing

heady notes for Thakoon’s Spring 2012 collection at The Plaza hotel, Lady Gaga’s Fame fragrance launch party in New York last fall, and a sea- and turquoise-inspired fragrance for Design Miami, where the sisters have been in charge of setting the olfactory tone for the last four years. In 2013, the sisters will be creating scents for each of the urban establishments run by Thompson Hotels, as well as kicking off a partnership with perfume powerhouse Firmenich, which is sure to take their profile to another level. Not surprisingly, 12.29 has become such a success that the sisters are giving their day jobs the boot. Both are devoting their full-time energies to developing the company and what they describe as olfactory branding, which is now being taken more seriously by corporations of all types. “All the brands are trying to attract the consumer in a new way,” Samantha says. “They’re trying to find that special sauce.” And if they’re picking up a few new skills along the way, that doesn’t hurt either. For instance, Samantha’s perky spirit has rubbed off on Dawn, she says. And Samantha has embarked on nose training. “It’s proven that identical twins have exactly the same sense of smell,” Dawn says, suggesting that part of having a strong sense of smell is feeling rather than thinking. “Because the answers aren’t rational,” Samantha chimes in. “If you start to rationalize things, chances are you’re going to get the scent wrong.” Her favorite smell though is less esoteric than nostalgic. “My mother’s cooking,” she confesses. “Not a specific dish, but the combination of everything.

THE FASHION WHISPERER
The Business of Fashion is an industry must-read. Meet the man behind the influential website. BY MARK ELLWOOD PORTRAIT BY SCOTT TRINDLE
For Imran Amed, it was a missed seat at the Oscar de la Renta fashion show that changed everything. Accustomed to sneaking into most presentations and lurking at the back of the room, the upstart blogger was delighted to receive a formal invitation to one of New York Fashion Week’s top runway shows. Sadly, snarled by traffic, he arrived late and had to take his place in standing, as usual. Amed was stunned when he sought out the PR head afterwards to apologize. “Have you met our CEO, Alex Bolen, she asked, because he’s the one who asked me to invite you?” “And, he had saved you a seat next to him in the front row,”Amed sighs. Perhaps I could be onto something with that blog of mine, he thought. At that point, BusinessofFashion.com had been live for less than a year. In the five years since then it has become a rag trade must-read, a smart and snark-free snapshot of fashion news. Such success has surprised everyone, 36-year-old Amed included. Born in Calgary in Alberta, Canada, he followed a conventional corporate path (MBA at Harvard and served a stint as an associate at McKinsey & Company) before jonesing for both, independence and a little more glamour while living in London. The answer was to start a luxury goods consultancy; an ad hoc blog began as a way to tout his expertise. That was 2006, before the onslaught of Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr so he used BusinessofFashion.com as a way to workshop his ideas, tapping into the problem-solving savvy he learned at McKinsey. Within six months, Amed noticed traffic spiking and after the Oscar de la Renta invitation, he realized there was more potential in his blogging hobby than in consulting. It was a smart move; he now reaches around one million people a month via his website, a daily newsletter and followers on Instagram et al. It’s even more impressive given the surprising challenge he faced at the outset. Amed’s reporting was so thorough and useful that some fashionista’s preferred to read and digest his smart observations and then reiterate them—without mentioning the site. “People wouldn’t want to tell about it, this was their secret source of insider information.” Now, he’s high profile enough to be lionized as influential and stylish by GQ’s around the world from India to the UK (his favorite indulgence was a boiled cashmere blazer by Japanese label Icho.) Amed won’t ever have to worry about sneaking into a show again. BusinessofFashion.com is now indispensable to Seventh Avenue insiders. “At Harvard Business School, we did a case study on the turnaround of Gucci,” he said. “The day I got a call from Tom Ford’s office saying he wanted to meet me for a drink, that was a pinch-me moment!” Jenné Lombardo, co-founder of MADE Fashion Week in New York, is another fan. “Amid the bitchiness and subjectivity that often characterizes fashion reporting, Amed stands out,” she says. “He’s a subtle, sweet guy and he’s truly coming from an educated approach on fashion. He has an objective energy about him that you feel when you’re reading it. BoF is the Cliffs Notes of fashion.” Ever so humble, Amed himself still marvels that he’s ended up a Seventh Avenue media magnate. Aside from a grandfather who was a tailor, his immediate family wasn’t concerned with hemlines or headlines. “I was just the guy whose friends turned to and ask ‘Does this look good on me?’” BH

t was the slap heard ‘round the fashion world. At Zac Posen’s show last September, a front-row reshuffle caused an editor from a French magazine to be moved from her prized seat to less prestigious accommodations. Did she graciously retreat to her new perch? What do you think? In the ensuing dust-up, she smacked the Posen PR girl, resulting in lawsuits, counter-suits and lots of gossip. It wasn’t always like this. Fashion shows used to be dignified affairs, consisting of one or maybe two rows of gold chairs arrayed in a showroom and the only people in the audience were boring industry professionals. So secretive were the proceedings that attendees were forbidden to photograph or even sketch, the clothes—hard to believe today, when pictures of every look flood the web before the final model has pulled her wig off. James LaForce, whose firm LaForce + Stevens has been seating fashion shows for the last 30 years, is happy to provide a little history. LaForce says that everything began to change when the tents went up in Bryant Park in 1993. Gradually, over the last two decades, the venues grew more dramatic, the shows became theater, magazine editors were no longer anonymous scribes but celebrities in their own right, stars on the red carpet gave shout-outs to their favorite designers and expected tickets in return and before you knew it, everyone from Bryanboy (one of the first really successful fashion bloggers) to the Brant boys (the notorious young sons of Stephanie Seymour and Peter Brant—shouldn’t they be in school?) was indulging in this desperately chic version of Simon Says. In my life as a fashion reporter, I have seen with my own eyes such superluminaries as Miss Diana Ross at DVF and the surprisingly diminutive-in-real-life Madonna (so late she had to stand) at Marc Jacobs. I have gawked at Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, both at the same Rodarte show (quite a coup for two designer-sisters from California.) I am ashamed to admit that I had no idea who Andy Murray was, though he was causing quite a stir at Burberry in London. I have sat behind (see, I myself am not always in the front row) the renowned drag performer The Lady Bunny, whose platinum beehive was so high I couldn’t see a thing. Last year, I was nearly trampled to death by a claque of photographers stalking Kim and Kanye at Marchesa.

Fashion shows used to be dignified affairs, consisting of one or maybe two rows of gold chairs arrayed in a showroom and the only people in the audience were boring industry professionals.
Some of these celebrities have a real love of fashion—the aforementioned Kanye, in fact, adores it so much he designed his own ill-fated line and showed it in Paris for two seasons. But others, according to dark whispers, are only in the house because they are being paid handsomely. Still, ask yourself, what exactly is so wrong with this? If they are flouncing around in these duds, being photographed everywhere from Topeka to Taipei, shouldn’t a few bucks float in their direction? And as for the social girls occupying prime real estate—if you were a designer, wouldn’t you want a dazzling creature or three in your front row? Wouldn’t you save a seat for the glamorous DJ Harley Viera-Newton or the jewelry designer Gaia Repossi? Make room for model-slash-editor Giovanna Battaglia and stylist-slashChanel-brand-ambassador Caroline Sieber. How about a warm and friendly welcome to Alexia Niedzielski, co-founder of Ever Manifesto (and Charlotte Casiraghi’s best friend) and Russia-born celebutante Dasha Zhukova? Elettra Wiedemann, the daughter of Isabella Rossellini (not to mention that her grandma, as you may recall, got on the plane to Lisbon with Victor Laszlo) is no stranger to the front row, but she is also a thoughtful person—and diplomatic too, it turns out. When she’s asked about front row shenanigans she replies, “Sometimes I think it is ridiculous, but I also now understand that fashion show seating is a materialization of the fashion playing field and all its players. First row people are the ones who are considered to have the power, or are the influencers… When you arrive at a show and you think you are a friend of the designer and then you are seated in the nose bleeds, I can understand that feelings get hurt.” But those whose egos bruise easily, who find themselves shunted to row 11 in a 10-row venue, might take heart from the case of the photographer Bill Cunningham, who is living proof that if you stick around long enough, good things will happen. Cunningham, who has been chronicling fashion for a half-century, often doesn’t seem to even have a ticket to a show, let alone a seat number. But given his legendary talent and modest demeanor, when he strolls in, chic in his blue French worker’s jacket, camera slung around his neck, the front row denizens, regardless of how rarefied, immediately sidle over and, no matter how tight the seating, make room for one more.

s Chanel approaches its 20-year anniversary at Bal Harbour Shops, the French luxury retailer felt it was time to freshen up its outpost there. According to Barbara Cirkva, Chanel’s fashion division president, the Bal Harbour Shops boutique has emerged as “a major focal point for local, domestic and international clients from around the world.” The new look, unveiled this month after a major ten-month renovation and expansion, was conceived by the talented mind of architect Peter Marino—a Chanel collaborator since 1995. “It’s one of the most beautiful Chanel boutiques in the world,” says Cirkva. In addition to letting in tons of natural light with the addition of floor-to-ceiling glass, the Bal Harbour store is dotted with sitespecific, commissioned pieces by artists Marc Swanson, Peter Dayton, Louis Durot and Liza Lou. “The combination of art and architecture is meant to make the whole greater,” designer Marino explains. An avid art collector, the jet-setting architect had the commissioned artists weave in elements of fashion materials and motifs. The Brooklyn-based Swanson, for example, created a sculpture of a seated buck encrusted in dazzling crystal, whereas Dayton, an artist based in East Hampton, formed a collage of abstract camellias (Coco Chanel’s favorite bloom) in black, white and gold to decorate the wall. French sculptor and designer Durot has created Aspirale, a spiraling chair in fashion-favorite black. Meanwhile, Liza Lou, a New York native who has shown in galleries including Deitch Projects and London’s White Cube,
threaded gold beads onto wire to form a sheaf. Called Gather, the painstaking handiwork that goes into stringing each bead might reference, say, the long atelier hours spent on Chanel’s recent Spring 2013 Haute Couture collection, designed by the inimitable Karl Lagerfeld. With gorgeously louche tweed suiting and elegant dresses that framed slim shoulders with exaggerated, widened collars, the couture runway was something to behold. Lagerfeld, who took over as chief designer in 1983 and blazed paths—while sipping Diet Coke (his renowned drink of choice), catapulting white Siamese kitties into the must-have accessory category (his beloved Choupette) and providing memorable pop culture commentary (nay, he says, on Michelle Obama’s bangs)— continues to imaginatively reinvent Coco’s gamine coquetry: frip and froth with a tomboyish heart. The outspoken Lagerfeld even got jaded fashion heads talking by capping off the stupendous Spring Haute Couture show, held in the Grand Palais and festooned in a nature theme, with a pair of brides. On closer inspection, those dream wedding gowns— feathers, tulle and lace topped with floppy fascinators—were the stuff of wild dreams. Add on a few iconic luxuries, such as the perfume No. 5, the 2.55 quilted handbag and the little tweed boxy jackets, and why not linger in fantasyland a little longer? Marino, who considered design, functionality and beauty when revamping the store, agrees: “I want people to enjoy the shopping experience, not feel like they want to leave the moment they walk through the doors.” BH

“We want to deliver one of the best wines of the region. I would like to be in the top three in quality.”—Massimo Ferragamo
S
hoemaking scion Massimo Ferragamo may live in New York, but Tuscany will always be home—more specifically, a house among the vineyards in Val D’Orcia, deep in the countryside. “I haven’t seen many places in the world with a view like this: It’s so silent and so beautiful,” he swoons, slipping into Italian. “When you see it you cannot resist the fascino, the allure, the charm.” It’s the perfect weekend for Ferragamo, sitting there with his dog and a few friends while sipping a glass of the local red wine, Brunello di Montalcino. It doesn’t hurt, of course, that he owns every bit of land around him, a 4,500-acre compound that he bought and turned into one of Italy’s most luxurious hotels, the Castiglion del Bosco. Close to Siena, this estate forms part of the area known as the Val d’Orcia. It’s a largely untouched patch of rural Tuscany, a UNESCO World Heritage zone that resembles a Renaissance painting: lushly green, mist-capped hills studded with vineyards and an occasional tree, the swirling sky always a soft pastel blue. And the wine from those vineyards, Ferragamo’s beloved Brunello, is among Italy’s most prized. He bought this land almost a decade ago, when it comprised abandoned ruins from the 17th and 18th centuries, vestiges of a small village, 20 scattered farmhouses (also derelict) and even a 700-year-old chapel decorated with its very own fresco by Sienese Old Master Pietro Lorenzetti. He painstakingly renovated and upgraded every acre, which included planting new vines, installing an infinity pool and creating a full-sized private golf course. In a time-warpish gesture meant to evoke the area’s heyday, more than 200 lampposts, unsightly marks of the modern era, were grubbed out and the electrical wires painstakingly buried. That old village became the heart of the hotel and is known as Il Borgo, where there are now 23 suites, two restaurants and a spa; the landing pad welcomes helicopter transfers from Florence, a short 20-minute flight away. Nine of the scattered farmhouses have been turned into sumptuous private villas with kitchens—a basket full of produce from the property’s own organic garden welcomes all guests, whether they want to cook for themselves, hire a
176 BAL HARBOUR
chef or shuttle back to Il Borgo for meals. And the 148-acre winery—the fifthlargest Brunello producer in the country—has become Ferragamo’s passion. “We want to deliver, long term, one of the best wines of the region,” he explains. “I would like to be in the top three in quality.” A wine-making newbie, he’s plunged into the business, hiring the renowned Nicolò D’Afflitto to steer the operation, which also produces small batches of a superb chardonnay that, in fact, isn’t sold anywhere outside the hotel, so guests of Castiglion del Bosco are the only ones who ever get to taste it. But Ferragamo isn’t finished, as his next project is to renovate the remaining farmhouses on the estate. He also has decided to ditch Castiglion del Bosco’s original model—whereby jet setters paid membership dues as at a private club— for phase two. “I changed it for one very simple reason: In Italy, that formula, in the sense of fractional ownership, doesn’t work at a high end,” he says. The tony 18-hole Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course is an exception and still runs as a club, though guests of the property are allowed limited access to the course. Now that it is operating as an ultra-exclusive hotel, Ferragamo plans to offer the last few of Castigilion del Bosco’s farmhouses for sale so buyers can customize their hideaway and then deed management back to the hotel. It’s a canny move, and one typical of the fashion family, which has owned and operated hotels since the mid 1990s, though never under the Ferragamo name. “We don’t confuse the two things,” he says. “We are a large family, so we go by very precise rules we all respect.” Nonetheless, a few glimpses of the Ferragamos’ leather-working heritage peek through in the form of the sumptuous shoe-polishing kit in every suite and the butter-soft hides wrapped around every television. Ferragamo can’t help but slip back into fashion vernacular as he raves about the hotel, clearly as much a passion project as a business. “We want people to be in the real Tuscany and to give them a great experience,” he says, pausing. “It’s almost like putting someone in the front row at a show.” BH Castiglion del Bosco, castigliondelbosco.com; open seasonally from March 28 through November 10, 2013.

View From the Top
n 1998 as an editor at Tatler magazine in London, Natalie Massenet decided to make a radical career change. She was intrigued by the idea that women could potentially shop for luxury online the way they had traditionally shopped the pages of fashion magazines. Net-a-Porter, the first luxury retailer website was born in 2000. In 2009 she launched The Outnet, an outlet version of the site. Today, Massenet sells brands like Gucci, Prada and Alexander Wang to millions of women all over the globe. And now, with the introduction in 2011 of Mr Porter, she also sells menswear. This season, Massenet will put her retail muscle behind London Fashion Week as the British Fashion Council’s newly appointed chairman.
What was your first break in fashion? Victoria Brynner, Yul’s daughter, hired me in Los Angeles to work on fashion shoots for the Italian magazine MODA. I learned about fashion journalism working at Women’s Wear Daily in the West Coast bureau and then at Tatler magazine in London, but I cannot remember a time when I was not influenced by style. I was always surrounded by fashion people thanks to my mom, a former Chanel model. How did you first become interested in the Internet? It was when I was tasked by the legendary editor Isabella Blow with finding a Victorian blouse for a fashion shoot for The Sunday Times of London. I found exactly what I needed online from my home in London and purchased it from a woman in the States. It was like a mind explosion!
178 BAL HARBOUR
Twelve years after Natalie Massenet created the world’s first online luxury retailer, the fashion powerhouse continues to make bold moves. Kate Betts checks in to find out what keeps her going.
What inspired the idea for Net-a-Porter? Like many women, I loved the designs I saw in the world’s top fashion magazines, but found the effort involved in finding them in stores daunting and sometimes impossible. It was then that the idea occurred to me to start the world’s first shop-able magazine, creating instant-gratification for the reader. What excites you in the digital landscape today? All things mobile. It’s our mission to be where our consumer is with easy-tonavigate content and commerce. As more people regard their mobile device as their primary resource for information, shopping, socializing and the like, the desktop computer is on the road to extinction. It’s a double-edged sword though: anytime, anywhere access to what you love is great, but it does make it hard to switch off from constant work. Who is your style icon? I like to say, the stylish child of Keith Richards, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy-Onassis. That would make for an interesting behind-the-scenes story! How do you achieve balance in your life? My father always taught me to be fearless, but also to enjoy life. As hard as I work professionally, I also work hard to carve out time to spend with my children and all the people I love. The desert island question: If you could only pack three things, what would they be? My iPad loaded with my favorite apps and music, a margarita machine and a solar-powered source for electricity. BH

TimeWell Spent Complicated watches are the new luxury collectible. BY WILLIAM KISSEL
Harry Winston’s 45mm Ocean Tourbillon Big Date
Daniel Novela has spent the past 17 years building his impressive watch collection, which began with a classic Cartier he acquired in 1996 and has grown over the years to include a highly coveted Girard Perregaux WW.TC Financial Chronograph, a Panerai Luminor 40 mm and one of the first waterproof Rolex Oyster designs from the 1930s. “These days I tend to look for gaps, in other words complications I may or may not have to fill a hole in the collection,” says the Miami-based lawyer, one of a growing number of style savvy business professionals helping to elevate fine watchmaking into the same league of luxury collectibles once reserved for Old Masters paintings and rare wines. “Now I’m looking for a vintage square watch, perhaps an old Omega with a triple date function, or a watch with a moon-face function,” he says. According to the Christie’s auction house website, collectors like Novela have been pushing the company’s watch sales, its sixth largest business, into new stratospheres for more than a decade. Last summer, for instance, Christie’s reported a record $3.5 billion in global watch sales for the first half of 2012—an 11 percent increase over the previous year. Other auction houses such as Sotheby’s, which sold the most expensive watch in the world back in 1999 ($11 million for the Henry Graves Supercomplication), and Antiquorum, which is devoted exclusively to modern and vintage watch sales, say most transactions

come from rare or limited pieces such as Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph sports watch (particularly the limited-edition Juan Pablo Montoya in 18kt rose gold), Officine Panerai’s 1936 California Dial Radiomir special edition (a reissue limited to 1,936 pieces in steel and 99 in platinum) and the PAM360 (limited to 300 worldwide), Patek Philippe’s Calatrava and IWC Schaffhauser’s Big Pilot. Such rare and complicated designs are considered trophy pieces, not your everyday watch purchase. Nevertheless, savvy collectors know that some of the most coveted watches these days aren’t necessarily limited to big name auction houses. Louis Breguet, who invented the tourbillon in 1795, still incorporates the gravity-defying balancing wheel in many of its highly complex Classique Grande Complication watches, including the newly-launched Tourbillon Messidor for instance. And the company’s Type XX timepieces, first created in the 1950s as civilian wristwatches patterned after those issued to WWI pilots and featuring code names such as Type 20, have now evolved into the company’s new Type XXII chronograph, a 44mm design updated with a silicon escapement and a flat balance spring whose frequency has been raised to 10 Hertz for exceptional regulating power. Both are limited and highly complex designs whose value will more than likely increase with time. At Audemars Piguet the focus is on the new Grande Complication version

of the brand’s timeless Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, a made to order sports watch updated in a 44mm titanium and ceramic case and now incorporating a split-second complication, a perpetual calendar and a minute repeater that chimes the hours, quarters and minutes on demand. “We’ve been making the Royal Oak Grande Complication watch in some form since 1882, so it’s really the top of the pyramid for us. But when you think of a high end complication you don’t think of a sport watch,” says Jasmine Bapic, manager of Audemars Piguet’s U.S. shops. Bapic says this is the first time the Grand Complication mechanism with its 684 parts has been incorporated into the company’s iconic Offshore sport design. Each watch is a limited edition of three, requires six months to make and sells upward of $700,000, so Bapic concedes it’s not for everyone. “But some styles in some colors are sold out so there is obviously a market for the collector who is willing to step up and want that kind of complexity in a sport watch,” she says.
aren’t produced in the same quantities and tend to be much more expensive to start with,” he says. One example might be the watch designs of relative newcomer Francois-Paul Journe, the Swiss watchmaker who launched his signature label in 1999 using only brass movements before subsequently switching to 18kt rose gold five years later. Limited to fewer than 900 watches (total production) per year, those early brass designs—the Tourbillon Souveraine, the Chronomètre Resonance, the Octa Reserve de Marche—are hard to come by, hence more desirable. This season watch collectors are clamoring for F.P. Journe’s new Chronometre Optimum, a hybrid of technical watchmaking. “Francois actually came up with the idea 10 years ago and started talking about it but he only just released it last year and so collectors went crazy,” says Michelle Yeterian, director of F.P. Journe’s New York boutique. The company recently opened a second shop at Bal Harbour. “What he did was take parts of old complications and put them into one case; so it comes with a double barrel, a constant-force
F.P. Journe Chronomètre Optimum
If you’re in search of an heirloom you can pass down, look first at rare or limited-edition pieces. Meanwhile Officine Panerai continues to develop both its historic Luminor and Radiomir series, including the company’s PAM372 Luminor 1950 3 Days, an oversized 47mm case inspired by those of the 1950s (hence the name) encapsulating an in-house mechanical movement; and its PAM513 Radiomir 1940 Oro Rosso, a smaller 42mm hand-wound mechanical design in polished red gold, both designed to be a part of the company’s ongoing Classics collection. Of course one doesn’t have to have a pedigree in horology or travel the watchmaker’s circuit— Geneva, Basel, New York, Hong Kong—to assemble an important watch collection. Experts advise if you’re in search of an heirloom you can pass down from generations, look first at rare or limited-edition pieces, often sold online or in local stores, that incorporate the largest number of complications. “Like all collectibles if you’re buying for investment, the first thing you want to do is buy the best you can afford,” explains J. Steven Humphrey, executive director of the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors. “If something is produced in the millions it’s probably not going up in price that dramatically. A real watch aficionado is probably looking at brands like Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet because those watches
remontoire (weights or springs that provide a secondary source of power) and it also has a bi-axial escapement with no oils, so it’s truly a beautiful watch,” says Yeterian. Veteran jewelers like Harry Winston, which does about 25 percent of its business in collectible watches, have nothing to worry about, however. Among the house’s collectible offerings (since being acquired by The Swatch Group for approximately $1 billion in January) is the brand’s Ocean Tourbillon Big Date, an exceptional 45mm timepiece with the first ‘floating tourbillon’ design visible from all angles. The 18kt white or rose gold watch is a limited edition of only 25 worldwide. Regardless of a watch’s provenance or rarity, most experts believe it’s better to buy for love of the design rather than the investment potential. While there is no guarantee when it comes to investment potential, one contributing factor is how well the timepiece has been maintained. Wearing a watch too often, for instance, can cause sweat to get into the case or deteriorate the face, both of which can seriously undercut the watch’s value. Be that as it may, “there are still a lot of people who don’t collect for the investment; they collect because they like something,” says Humphrey, adding how “there is certainly nothing wrong with that either.” BH

TEST KITCHEN
There’s a seemingly endless number of blogs and websites devoted to food. Alyssa Shelasky mines the Web to find the best of the bunch.
About five years ago, I created the food blog, Apron Anxiety, which has since turned into a successful memoir and maybe even a major television series. But the truth is, there are many food blogs and online magazines far better than mine and I’ve turned to them several (thousand) times for dinner party meltdowns, molten chocolate cake escapes and that sweet sense of culinary community. Here are five sites that inspire, educate, intimidate and satiate both simple and sophisticated palates everywhere.
s s
Honest Cooking Self-described as “the food magazine,” this beautiful, bustling site has everything from intimate chef diaries to underground gelato hangs. It’s very international, with tightly edited features to highlight the world’s most interesting, exciting perspectives on food trends, food travel and food porn. Food52 Almost every gastronome with a computer now turns to Food52—the brainchild of The New York Times food columnists Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs—for easy accessible recipes and a bubbly community of like-minded home cooks. Readers are encouraged to submit family heirloom recipes and new experiments. There are several online contests, giveaways and nonstop comments on personal hits and misses. Tasting Table The free daily email for “adventurous eaters everywhere,” covers the foodie-universe gamut with a fast, consolidated, in-your-face approach. Serving up hot news on restaurants, au courant recipes, cocktail suggestions and chef gossip, Tasting Table is as much an online dinner party as it is a foodie news source. Sous Style Created by Elle magazine’s Pippa Lord, Sous Style is for the “new generation” of homemakers. According to Lord, the 2013 modern woman wants to be the style icon, legendary hostess, gourmet chef and seductress—all at once. The site is glossy, chic and electric. But be forewarned, you will quickly be provoked to update your kitchen and your closet. Food & Femininity For home cooks with day jobs and budgets, this site is a careful balance of inspiration without intimidation—a simple-yet-playful look at “homemaking” in the big city. Erin Phraner, the young creator of Food and Femininity, shares easy recipes, tips, and tricks that she’s picked up as a food editor at magazines in New York City on this user-friendly, no-stress site. Posts are packed with smart, cheery and accessible cooking encouragement.

A LA MODE
A new show at the Met explores fashion’s cultural context through Impressionism.
Claude Monet’s Women in the Garden.
In 1867 Émile Zola described the work of Paris’ artistic avantgarde “the dream all painters have: putting life-size figures into landscape.” The Impressionists, as they were known, sure did shift things around in the landscape. Through their portraits of Parisians going about their daily routines they not only put an end to stiff, formal society portraits, but they also cast a spotlight on fashion and its importance as a class signifier. This is the subject of the sweeping, elegant and witty “Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity” show at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (by way of Paris’ Musée d’Orsay), on view through May 27. It may very well be the greatest fashion show on earth. Featuring works by painters like Claude Monet, Édouard Manet, Paul Cezanne, Jean Tissot, Albert Bartholomé, Edgar Degas and Claude Renoir among many others, the show demonstrates how these artists so brilliantly captured Baron Haussmann’s “new” Paris in a moment of great urban transformation. But the real star of the show is fashion and the role it plays in a broader cultural context. The exhibit takes us all around Paris, both inside private homes and across broad boulevards, and we witness firsthand the luxury of the times— or what Baudelaire called the “daily metamorphosis of exterior things.” We follow one Parisienne into a milliner’s store in Tissot’s The Shop Girl; Gustave Caillebotte takes us into an ordinary café in At the Café and Jean Béraud
takes us to a ball in Le Bal Public. The idea is to capture the spontaneity of daily life, la quotidienne as the French call it, and in doing so, to get a closer look at the postures, gestures, and simple elegant city clothes that women wore in the latter half of the 19th century. In Manet’s Le Balcon, for example, we see two Parisian women dressed in white cotton day dresses staring out into the foreground or directly at the viewer. The richness of their interior life is rendered in the details: parasols and fans, an attentive servant. In Morisot’s Two Sisters we see the details on their dresses as well as the intricate floral pattern on the sofa where they sit. Each gallery presents a different context for us to observe fashion up close. One gallery is staged like a runway show, with gilt chairs lining either side of an enfilade of standing portraits. Another shows women caught off guard in intimate moments—in her bedroom (Henri Gervex’s Rolla) or in her bathroom (Berthe Morisot Woman at her Toilette). The final gallery is staged as an outdoor garden with sky blue walls and grass green floors. The Pleasure of Fresh Air is the theme, and the selected paintings depict outdoor leisure activities closely linked to the world of fashion. The dappled light falling on white cotton dresses and silk parasols in Monet’s Women in the Garden remind us that while fashion is a product of urban industrial life, it also derives inspiration from nature and can bring us back to nature. BH
It may very well be the greatest fashion show on earth.

Check in to one of Blue Views’ contemporary penthouses with breathtaking views of Camps Bay beaches, or at Laurence Graff’s manicured Delaire Graff Estate where six exclusive suites decorated by David Collins offer unparalleled elegance amongst the vineyards. Back in town, try award-winning chef Luke DaleRoberts’ Test Kitchen. Located inside The Old Biscuit Mill, the restuarant doesn’t disappoint with its creative and fresh plates. And if you prefer your luxury with a touch of green, head to Babylonstoren, a contemporary farm that welcomes aspiring gardeners to its expansive property. Think seasonal salad picking, gardening lessons, no frills seasonal meals and a hotel where you can enjoy a weekend on the farm surrounded by inspired décor. Or, for an unforgettable experience on the water, head north and board the Zambezi Queen, an 11-room contemporary boat that cruises along the border of Botswana’s Chobe National Park and Namibia.
LA BAMBA DE ARECO Past the city of Pilar—a polo player’s mecca just outside of Buenos Aires—is La Bamba de Areco, a gaucho’s dream in the middle of the pampa. Built in 1830 on El Camino Real, La Bamba, one of Argentina’s oldest estancias, was

recently turned into a lifestyle haven where stars, polo players and their heirs mingle. The distinctive atmosphere inside La Pulperia—the oldest building on the property—hearkens back to its gaucho heritage with its braided leather chairs, wooden tables and faded fabrics. The main house is elegantly appointed with precious artwork, beautifully caned armchairs and dark wood floors. A place of tradition, La Bamba de Areco welcomes guests through an allée hundred-year-old trees to manicured lawns and firm handshakes, equestrian spirit and the scent of grilled meat wafting from the typical asado.
ISTANBUL If Karl Lagerfeld is any indicator of fashion cred (which of course he is), Istanbul is quickly becoming a fashion capital. To wit, Chanel N°5’s last campaign film was shot on the Bosphorus and Lagerfeld recently designed an Ottoman Empire-inspired collection for Chanel. Local designers and retailers are also garnering attention abroad; Turkish designer Arzu Kaprol shows in Paris and styles American celebrities, and the boutique V2K designers stocks hot young brands, including Boy by Band of Outsiders, Alexander Wang, Opening Ceremony and Charlotte Olympia. On the design front, there’s The House Hotel Bosphorus, which, designed by the local firm Autoban, has already welcomed Ricky Martin and Kevin Spacey to take in its unobstructed views of the Bosphorus. Istanbul’s distinctive

architecture has led to some fabulous reinventions of historical buildings, including the recently unveiled SALT Galata. The unique art foundation is housed inside the former Ottoman Bank with its grand staircase and original marble floors still intact. Showcasing the best of Turkish craftsmanship in an elegant building next to the Old Bazaar, Armaggan presents jewelery, precious bath and home accessories on six floors. Be sure to make it to the top where Nar Restaurant presents a modern take on Ottoman cuisine.
AMSTERDAM Closed for the past 10 years, Amsterdam’s acclaimed Rijksmuseum is finally ready to re-open its doors mid-April with a contemporary edge. Spanish architects Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos stripped down the building to its original structure and created a new entrance, an Asian pavilion and an outdoor exhibition space and garden. The state-of-the-art facilities include new dining areas, gift shop, library and auditorium. It’s with the same vision in mind that the Huis Marseille museum presents contemporary photography inside a 17th century merchant’s canal house. Currently on view is “In and out of Fashion,” which is a survey of Viviane Sassen’s fashion photography, including campaigns for Carven and Missoni, as well as editorials for Numéro, AnOther Magazine, Dazed & Confused and I-D. Another fashionable address, the Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht Hotel
has interiors by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders. Staging his vision of an enchanted Dutch world, Wanders blends creativity and cultural heritage revisiting the Dutch Golden Age, the blue of Delft pottery and the vivid color of tulips.
ST. BARTHS St. Barths is more of an extension of French lifestyle—complete with gourmet cuisine, vibrant interiors and modernist architecture—rather than your typical Caribbean island. Known as a tropical paradise where movie stars, billionaires, pop singers and models mingle, St. Barths is hotter than ever. For those who know their Prouvé from their Perriand, Villa La Banane, where you’ll find furnishings by both designers, is a must. Playing on the modernist and tropical heritage of the island, Villa La Banane is a collector’s dream. With artwork by Cyprien Chabert and furniture by 20th century legends Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé, staying at La Banane is like traveling back to the glorious and glamorous 1950s. Style-minded travelers may also want to check out sibarth.com for some extra special private accommodations, including an architect’s dream villa overlooking the bay. It’s all about promoting well being on this parcel of island perfection, so make sure to book an appointment with Christophe Marchesseau—founder of the island’s Excellence des Sens—who’s found on many a jet-setter’s speed-dial list.
