editor’s letter
L
ike millions of Floridians, my wife and I secured our home and got out of town before Hurricane Irma arrived. Watching the storm wreak havoc from afar — we decided to go ahead with a long-planned birthday trip to Copenhagen — brought a mix of anxiety, fear and sadness. Our hearts continue to ache for those who lost loved ones, homes and businesses in the hurricane. But I’m also filled with pride at the displays of resolve and resiliency that occurred throughout Florida in Irma’s wake. As I scrolled social media, I kept seeing people and places featured in this issue, all playing vital roles in Miami’s recovery. They include Franco and Ashley Stanzione, the husband-wife owners of Stanzione 87 in Brickell, whose homemade mozzarella is the star of our Recipe column (p. 56). As soon as Irma’s winds died down, the Stanziones fired up their pizza oven and delivered a few dozen pies to the Four Seasons Miami, to feed the hotel staff who had stayed through the storm. Once power was restored in South Beach, Mike Pirolo and Jen Chaefsky, the husband-wife owners of Macchialina, posted on Instagram an image of Pirolo’s fresh pasta. The caption: “We made spaghetti. We have amaro. We are open. And the amaro is on us.” That they would exhibit that kind of hospitality comes as no surprise to anyone who was on set at Macchialina the day we photographed our hand-picked group of prominent Miami Italians, La Dolce Vita-style (p. 90). Just as we snapped a celebratory end-of-shoot image, a thunderstorm flooded the streets and knocked out electricity. Instead of panicking or shooing us out, Pirolo and Chaefsky popped bottles of pinot nero and carved hunks of ParmigianoReggiano for their stranded guests. Similarly, I wasn’t surprised to see the Twitter feed of Kelly Blanco stream nonstop Irma updates to help South Florida stay on top of preparation plans and recovery efforts. Blanco, an NBC 6 reporter and our My 305 Style subject (p. 30), was one of scores of Miami-based journalists who covered the storm with clear eyes and empathetic perspectives.
I exhaled a sigh of relief when Frost Science announced that none of its animals were injured or exhibits damaged. And I smiled when Pérez Art Museum Miami opened its doors for free for two days — right as many of us were dealing with severe cases of cabin fever. The museums were Evan S. Benn the site of our main fashion Editor in Chief spread, which starts on page 80 (that’s our crew with models Marianne Faina and Carrie Lee at PAMM). As you page through this Fashion Issue, keep an eye out for these flag icons. Because October is Italian-American Heritage Month, and because Miami is a city so influenced by Italian culture, we made Italy an editorial theme. The flags point you to stories and facts with an Italian sway. INDULGE, which had been a finalist for three statewide Florida Magazine Association awards, took home gold for Photography and silver for Writing and Social Media — all firsts for us. And we recently were named finalists for four national Folio Awards: Best Full Issue (Food & Wine), Best Overall Design, Best Series of Articles (Staycation) and Editor of the Year. We’ve also relaunched our fully redesigned miamiindulge.com. Please take a look, share something you like, and let me know what you think. At INDULGE, we strive to spotlight the best of Miami’s good life, including the people who make this the most vibrant city in the world. Something as destructive as Hurricane Irma reminds us that — regardless of the myriad different directions our individual lives may take — we’re all in this together, and we must look out for one another. Thank you for whatever it is you do to take care of our neighbors, our community, our Miami.

elcome to our fall Fashion issue! From our dazzling cover image, to Jacopo Giustiniani’s inspiration for the upcoming La Centrale Food Hall at Brickell City Centre, to the I-really-really-want-that Love jacket by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent, this edition of INDULGE is an amalgamation of intoxicating Italian taste, talent, allure, apparel and adornment sure to make you fall in love with fall. We knew we were off to a splendid start as models Marianne Faina and Carrie Lee, two smart and radiant women, joyfully captured Miami’s beauty and warmth while gracing the stunning installations at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and at Pérez Art Museum Miami. During the parts of the photo shoot that were visible to the public, it was great to see how museum patrons — from local school children to tourists — couldn’t help stopping to get a glimpse of art in the making. Our captivating images have inspired quite a few explorations. We’ve heard Lesley DeCanio from many of you, our INDULGE readers, about how you dog-ear and even tear out pages of the magazine in search of the experiences and recommendations shared by our writers. This issue’s Dish column by Shayne Benowitz (p. 53) is one story that’s certain to be folded, clipped and shared. My husband and I have been planning a return trip to Italy, and if Giustiniani’s vision for La Centrale — “to feel like a trip, a tour, a vacation in Italy without taking a plane” — is realized, then Bill and I will be vacationing at Brickell City Centre for the holidays. Now that we’ve dished, let’s Pour (p. 58). I say grazie to Dinkinish O’Connor for selecting six distinct wine options to savor and share with friends and family. Her description of the 2007 Saracco Pinot Nero’s “aromatics reminiscent of a thrift store, old records, goat musk and gloves fresh from picking truffles” is sure to end up on the gift card adorning this bottle’s graceful neck. Of course, who deserves a fabulous, fashionable gift more than yourself? One of my favorite fashion items is the classic denim jacket. Truth be told, I own three. I find this garment to be a malleable layer, perfect for our South Florida transitions from a warm and balmy climate to an often too-chilly air-conditioned environment. Each of my jackets expresses a different vibe: structured and chic, worn and comfy, and a sophisticated black version ready to adorn any party dress. I thought I was set until Claudia Miyar, our contributing style editor, selected an embellished beauty for our Indulgence (p. 98). Hmmm, maybe I can persuade my husband that all “we” are missing is a unisex jacket to add to my collection! All of us at INDULGE hope you have recovered as best as possible from Hurricane Irma and can enjoy our foray into Miami’s exciting fashion assets. And we hope that this issue inspires some local discoveries of your own. May your personal style shine this autumn, and all year ’round.

contributors DINKINISH O’CONNOR A descendant of West Indian wordsmiths, journalist and poet Dinkinish O’Connor has seen her lifestyle writing appear in Wine Spectator, Condé Nast Traveler, Lucky Peach, Time Out New York and Ebony, among other publications. O’Connor, a North Miami native, became a certified sommelier because she wanted to understand the artful journey of wine from vine to table. For this issue’s feature on Italian wine (p. 58), she chose bottles that allow each region’s individuality and terroir to seduce the reader’s palate.
As someone who likes to crack claws at the new seafood place or hit opening night at everything from the ballet to the bike shop, Eric Barton is well suited to pen our newly expanded Launching Now and Culture pages (22-26). Barton lives in Fort Lauderdale with his wife, Jill, a law professor at the University of Miami, and would be glad to go on a hunt with you for South Florida’s best tacos.
DANNY JELACA
CHRISTIAN PORTILLA
An expert in the art of beautiful hair, Danny Jelaca opened his namesake South Beach salon five years ago, which he’s relocating this fall to the Miami Beach Marina. The fully renovated space will include 18 hair stations, an Osvaldo Perez makeup studio, and a VIP area to cater to a roster of celebrity clients. Returning for his second year to oversee hair styling for INDULGE’s Fashion Issue cover story (p. 80), Jelaca says he wanted “very modern, clean, polished looks for our gorgeous models at the fabulous Frost Science and PAMM.”
Community, culture and lifestyle writer Christian Portilla profiled Haitian-American fashion designer Fabrice Tardieu for this issue (p. 46). She didn’t have to go far to find him: Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood is where she calls home. “I love Little Haiti because no matter how much time I spend covering this area and the people who live in it, I always discover something or someone new,” she said. “Fabrice is such a talented and genuine person, and his showroom in Little River is an indication of this area’s magic and transformation.”
CHRISTIANA LILLY A contributing editorial assistant since 2013, Christiana Lilly has watched INDULGE blossom into a powerhouse Miami lifestyle publication. For this issue, the recently elected president of Society of Professional Journalists Florida explored the Design District through the eyes of En Avance’s Karen Quinones (p. 60) and curated a page of NBC 6 traffic reporter Kelly Blanco’s favorite Miami things (p. 30). “These stories are always so fun to put together because you discover so many hidden gems in Miami,” Lilly said.

CAITLIN GRANFIELD A Miami-based journalist and photographer, Caitlin Granfield contributes regularly to the Miami Herald and the Biscayne Times. For her INDULGE debut, she wrote about the ongoing partnership between YoungArts and Italian luxury brand Max Mara (p. 62). The arrangement aims to support young artists, including 18-year-old photographer Torrance Hall, who received $10,000 for being selected as this year’s Max Mara Young Visionary Award winner. “Speaking with Torrance was like talking with someone who’s been taking photos for decades,” Granfield said. “For someone so young, who just started college, he has a deep understanding of the profession and an unflinching desire to use pictures to express raw human emotion.”

UpgradeYour Suit What separates a suit from a tuxedo? Lapels, mainly. Miami entrepreneur Sebastian Garcia knows this, so he created The Lapel Project to convert suits to tuxes in DIY fashion, starting at just $30. Garcia’s stick-on velvet strips impressed the Shark Tank swarm, prompting a $150,000 investment from Mark Cuban. “All our lives, we’ve been sucked into buying tuxedos that just sit in our closets, collecting dust,” Garcia told INDULGE. “Now people can convert a suit into a tuxedo from their home.” thelapelproject.com.

Gables Gets a Makeover The City Beautiful is about ready to reveal its Giralda Avenue Streetscape after a year in the making. Coral Gables’ restaurant row has been remodeled into a pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined lane, designed to create a more walkable downtown. After an October grand opening, look for regular public events and new businesses to pop up, including a WeWork co-working space and the luxury Giralda Place condo. A similar expansion and beautification project on Miracle Mile is expected to wrap in January. gablesstreetscape.com.
Carnival Glitz If there’s one day of the year when over-the-moon glamour is serious business, it’s Carnival, where pastel hair, bedazzled cheeks and jeweled bathing suits are the norm. Before the Miami Broward Carnival on October 8, get a full makeup job by Face Candy Studios. The company’s 15 makeup artists work festivals and Carnival celebrations from Trinidad to Toronto. They’ve been coming to Miami for the past five years, dolling up about 100 women a year. For $60, they’ll give you a traditional foundation with gems, or, for $76, get all that plus airbrushing.

the local LAUNCHING NOW By Eric Barton
)R +EVHI Is your lack of closet space getting you down? Free up room by sending your seldom-worn ball gowns and smoking jackets to Garde Robe. Founded in 2001 out of a New York loft, the company now serves South Florida with an office in Boca Raton. Garde Robe will show up to your home or yacht to haul off anything you want to store. Your prized stilettos may end up in climate-controlled storage along with the wares of Oscar de la Renta and Gwyneth Paltrow, who reportedly use the service. And when you need your stash of clothes? Garde Robe will deliver to wherever you are. Yearly plans start at $350 a month for 50 garments. 888-427-3311; garderobeonline.com.
FOUR-LEGGED FASHION Sure, you can wrap a pashmina around your Lhasa Apso, but it’s not going to keep little Patches dry during a walk in the rain. Luckily there’s Tailored Dog, Rita Green’s local company that makes doggie rain jackets and visors (Patches will appreciate the eyeshade on sunny days, too) in Hialeah. Tailored Dog prides itself on offering a better fit than other canine rain gear; a helpful sizing guide makes sure every breed or mutt will be comfortable — and dry. tailoreddog.com.
Brazilian Beachwear Imagine for a moment the outfit worn by the Girl from Ipanema: probably something glamorous but also timeless, something you’d wear for a day at the beach and the night to follow. That’s the style Brazilian designer Adriana Degreas nails with her line of swim and casual wear inspired by the Golden Era of her homeland. Degreas made her South Florida debut last year with a pop-up location. Now she’s anchored herself here with her U.S. flagship store at Merrick Park. Interior designer Juan Camacho gave the space a Palm Beachmeets-Art Deco feel, with banana-leaf wallpaper and rows of design books and bronze fixtures. It would surely be the shop of choice for the Girl from Ipanema. 342 San Lorenzo Avenue, Coral Gables; 305-363-8686; adrianadegreas.com.

BLACK BOOK
Given her enviable looks and wardrobe, Miami lifestyle blogger Annie Vazquez, aka The Fashion Poet, could easily be intimidating. But spend time in her world — the one she documents for her nearly 80,000 Instagram followers — and it’s clear that her realness is what draws people in. “My most-liked posts are the motivational ones where I’m open and vulnerable,” Vazquez said. “You can put on whatever outfit; nobody cares unless the story has a human element.” Here, her latest Miami finds and secret sources.

DREAM WEAVER Turns out, not getting enough sleep — quality sleep — can lead to more than dark circles under your eyes. “Sleep issues make it harder to lose weight,” said Dr. Edward Mezerhane, a Miami sleep medicine specialist whose confidential patient list is like a who’s-who of the city’s overachievers. “Regularly KIXXMRK JI[IV XLER WM\ LSYVW a night puts you at higher risk for stroke, diabetes, heart disease, depression, memory loss and Alzheimer’s.” Mezerhane’s advice? Make sleep as important as going to the gym or eating breakfast. “You need to have a regular sleep routine, and prioritize it.” Try cutting off screen time an hour before bed, and avoid coffee or energy drinks after noon. And if you suspect you’re snoring more than three nights a week, which could be a sign of sleep apnea, get checked out. “With help, most patients get better in a week or two,” Mezerhane said. “They come back and say, ·-¸Q E[EOI ¸¶ 305-994-1825; southfloridasleeps.com.

Then settle in for a 3-D preview of your new smile. “Watching people get the smiles they’ve always wanted,” Patterson said, “that’s the best.” 954-883-9023; drpattydental.com.

THE COCKTAIL

A Stitch ABOVE Rex Fabrics has been draping Miami in some of the world’s finest materials since 1970.
Y
ou don’t truly know luxury until you’ve stroked a $4,500 yard of rare Loro Piana vicuña fabric, produced by a small member of the camel family that roams wild in the Andes. Or passed your fingers — eyes closed — along the hills and valleys of sumptuous silk and luscious velour. Or had a seamstress drape a panel of hand-woven crystals, beads and feathers over your shoulders. Step into the world of Rex Fabrics, where these fashion fantasies are everyday realities — and have been for 47 years. “We do not look at how much it’s going to cost; we just want it to be different,” said Ricardo Aldama, the Italian-Cuban owner and curator of every inch of Rex Fabrics. “So we use the best stones, the best accessories, the best lace houses in the world.”

INDULGE | OCTOBER 2017 | miamiindulge.com
BESPOKE EXPERIENCE Upon arrival, guests are greeted by an impeccably dressed doorman. Inside the massive, two-story showroom and warehouse, you can find more than 5,000 rolls of fabric, elaborately decorated mannequins and a small army of highly skilled seamstresses, tailors and upholsterers. Whether you need a couture evening gown, a bespoke suit or a tufted chaise, they’ve got you covered. Aldama travels the globe to source materials for his store, keeping his loyal following of celebrity and high-rolling customers fitted with the latest and greatest. Men’s shoes and belts are a recent introduction to Rex’s portfolio, which includes a robust web inventory. “We have more than 28,000 products on the website,” said Juan Marcano, Rex’s marketing manager who runs the store’s e-commerce and social media platforms. “Every day I get orders from all over the world. I can send one day to Saudi Arabia and the next day to Hong Kong.” HUMBLE BEGINNING The international operation got its start in 1970 when Aldama and his mother took over a small fabric shop near Northwest Eighth Street and 48th Avenue. They filled it not only with standard $5 yards of cotton, but also with fine and rare fabrics from Italy to India that you couldn’t find anywhere else. Eventually, Rex outgrew its original space and moved a few blocks east, to where Coral Gables meets Miami. Despite nearly a half century of success, Aldama and his staff of 25 manage to keep a relatively low profile, which his discerning clientele seems to appreciate. After all, they don’t come to Rex Fabrics simply to fill a need. They come for a desire to have the best. That’s true luxury. WORDS BY ASHLEY BROZIC / PHOTOGRAPHY BY FELIPE CUEVAS

‘Never think you know the future even though you LEZI I\TIVMIRGI ¸
VITALS 58. President and CEO of Perry Ellis International. The company was founded in 1961 as Supreme International by his Cuban-immigrant father, George, an attorney who started a fashionapparel company to make ends meet. Perry Ellis International has grown into a global retail powerhouse, encompassing 13 upscale fashion brands. Oscar Feldenkreis took an interest in his father’s business from a young age: Free time was spent accompanying his grandfather to downtown Miami’s retail shops, and a high school job at a local jeans store cemented his desire to join his father at work. After graduating from North Miami Beach Senior High, Feldenkreis studied Business Administration at the University of Miami. In 1982, he married his childhood sweetheart, Ellen, and set to work growing their family: daughters Jennifer, 34, Erica, 32, and Stephanie, 26. Today, Feldenkreis is at the helm of the family business, which has offices in Miami, New York and Los Angeles. He oversees PEI from his hometown and now spends his free time spoiling his six grandchildren. FIRST PAYING JOB “In high school, I worked in a family-run jeans store on 163rd Street in North Miami Beach. I always loved to work in the fashion industry.” BEST PIECE OF ADVICE EVER RECEIVED “Never be scared to ask questions, and listen.” WHAT YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT WHAT YOU DO “I love to create, I love to sell, and creating and selling is very important to our business. I’m very hands-on when it comes to the marketing side.” IT TAKES A VILLAGE “I’m successful because I’m associated with great people, and that’s something I recommend to others: Develop mentors as you grow your business.”

INDULGE | OCTOBER 2017 | miamiindulge.com
NEW YORK OR MIAMI? “No comparison — sorry, but New Yorkers always end up here anyway! I love Miami and I would never give up South Florida.” BEST DAY ON THE JOB “When we went public in 1993. It’s very rewarding to see a family business grow from zero. We took a company doing only $33 million in revenue 25 years ago, and grew it to close to $1 billion in sales today.” LIVING PERSON MOST ADMIRED “My parents. Being able to still work with my father is a prize that others might look at as a challenge, and sometimes it can be, but I love it and I love to work with my father. There is no better mentor, father, friend and hero than my father.” IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING ELSE FOR A LIVING “I would help others and teach. I would like to help kids in school identify their passion. I try to do that now on the board of advisory at the Wharton School’s Baker Retailing Center. I love to interact with younger people, because I learn from them.” SOMETHING PEOPLE DON’T KNOW “I have a Maltese named Sushi, because sushi is my favorite food.” GREATEST EXTRAVAGANCE “I got into cycling about seven years ago, and it’s become a big passion for us. We’ve developed phenomenal friends, and I have a nice collection of bicycles that I never thought I would buy.” STILL GOT IT “I just had a hip operation, and that’s something I never would have expected. I’m going to have a bionic hip, and all my cycling friends are worried about me being faster than them!” WORDS BY NICOLE MARTINEZ / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK GARCIA

Amanda De Seta
She’s not just building luxury properties. She’s also fashioning Miami into a better place for everyone.
f superheroes are required to wear a cape and tights, Amanda De Seta — in four-inch Jimmy Choos and designer threads — didn’t get the memo. De Seta, the founder and owner of real estate development firm LointerHome, performs audacious acts like turning abandoned lots into community art installations, creating new housing in Miami that is both livable and affordable, and rescuing the occasional local cultural institution. Soon after The Bookstore in the Grove announced it would close in June after 10 years in business, De Seta swooped in and bought the place. She said the decision was easy. “I live in the Grove, I work in the Grove, and the bookstore is part of the Grove,” said De Seta, 42. “What’s the point of building pretty things if we don’t preserve the actual city?”
I
L.A. TO MIAMI In a previous career, De Seta worked as a creative executive at 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles. She would renovate old houses as a way to relieve stress, tapping into her passion for restoring antique furniture. De Seta fell in love with Miami during a vacation here with her daughter, who is now 8. They moved to Coconut Grove in 2010, and De Seta pursued LointerHome. At The Bookstore, she’s overseeing a makeover that includes new paint, glass chandeliers, wood floors, a bar area, updated furniture and a revamped café menu. Chef Adriana Egozcue and general manager Amber Rapicavoli, both alums of Eating House and Glass & Vine, are in charge of the restaurant portion. COMMUNITY REVIVAL On the residential side of her business, De Seta’s current projects range from luxury office buildings and upscale vacation rentals to affordable single-family homes and an ambitious workforce housing community. A seven-acre space LointerHome is developing near Miami International Airport will include housing units, grassy fields, a daycare, an education complex and a community center. “It’s been a fascinating project to design, build and think about,” De Seta said. “It’s not just about spreadsheets and numbers.” Closer to home, De Seta’s Glass House Project will bring six modern, single-family homes to the Grove. Before construction on each site began, De Seta came up with the idea to host a pop-art series on the empty lots. She invited local artists to create sculptures out of wood, which will later be used to help construct the houses. “We took something that was completely dead and began to bring it back to life, to revive it,” she said.

{DESIGNER}
Fabrice Tardieu
He’s gotten his kicks out of creating eye-catching fashion trends since he was a kid. recent conversation with his mother jogged a childhood memory for Miami shoe designer Fabrice Tardieu. In their native Port-auPrince, Tardieu’s family owned a shoe factory, and as a boy he once asked his mom to stitch a leather toe trim onto his canvas shoes. “I was 8 years old,” Tardieu said from his by-appointment-only showroom in Little River. “Today, the No. 1-selling shoe at Lanvin Paris looks so much like what I was envisioning at 8. “I had an understanding at a young age of things that could be really cool. I had it in me, but I didn’t know I had it in me — it just came later.”
A
SNEAKERHEADS He began his self-named shoe and apparel brand from his apartment three years ago, putting his life savings on the line to embark on a dream of designing luxury leisure wear. Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union are fans of Tardieu’s couture sneakers, as is a Middle Eastern royal who last year bought 22 pairs — all size 10.5 — during a stay in Miami. Tardieu got his professional start in fashion studying in France and working for Giorgio Armani before launching the Bogosse shirt label with his brother Patrick. Tardieu decided to walk away from that collaboration to rediscover his creativity, he said. “I went from Ferrari to Uber,” he said of his pivot toward a risky new challenge.
‘A good pair of sneakers are timeless.’ REWARDING JOURNEY A trip to Bali on the advice of an energy healer led Tardieu toward a plantbased diet, a yoga routine and a drive to start his own design line and Miami showroom. Three years in, he remains in control of every step of the creative process. His factory in Italy is working on 25 new unisex pieces, and the line he said he is most excited about is his “I Am Mexico” capsule collection. It’s a collaboration with Mexican professional boxer Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez. “In all of my collections, you will find color: cobalt blues, reds and gold,” Tardieu said. “We always bring back that Miami vibe. It’s always fresh and bright, even in the winter.” WORDS BY CHRISTIAN PORTILLA / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK GARCIA

the movers And the firm was cool with the move? “Totally. I transferred from Greenberg L.A. to Miami in 2007. When I first brought the fashion-law thing to management, I was looking around the office at 40 other litigators and wondering how I could make myself stand out. They said, ‘Well, don’t you have to be in New York to do fashion work?’ And I said, ‘No, I don’t. I can do it in Miami. Just look at what’s happening here.’” Main dishes: Poached eggs with potato foam and truffle, steak tartare sandwich with grainy mustard. Music: Naughty by Nature, “Hip Hop Hooray.” What’s a work day like? “A lot of my practice is transactional work: contract review, IP and trademarks, licensing, labeling. What I’m doing in Miami is focusing on fashion startups and emerging brands and helping them navigate away from the pitfalls that could drain their investment capital. I may start a day meeting a new client in New York and end it holding up a light at a photoshoot for a client in Miami.”

counterfeiting raids. We’d go in with the cops and take the counterfeit goods. I loved it. That’s how I got into fashion, working with global brands on these anti-counterfeiting efforts.” Did you get to wear an FBI jacket? “No, I got to wear jeans. But it was a really cool experience. It was kind of the moment I realized I could base my work around something I’m really passionate about, which is fashion.” Thin-sliced octopus with smoky paprika is served.

Garno wears a jacket by Markoo, top by The Kooples, skirt by Issey Miyake and shoes by Alexandre Birman. You went to University of Miami and then Pepperdine Law. What pulled you back to Miami? “My husband and I met when I was a freshman at UM and he was a first-year law student. I was dating his friend at the time, and he was dating someone else. We lived our separate lives and then reconnected years later at a wedding where I was a bridesmaid and he was best man. Greg is a partner in a firm here, and we did the whole cross-country thing for a while. Finally I moved back to Florida. Then we had four girls — 9, 5 and 3-year-old twins. It’s bananas.”
What’s your goal as Chair-Elect of the Beacon Council’s Creative Design Committee? “I’m really hoping to build momentum toward bringing in more manufacturing. We have some great brands and designers here — Naeem Khan, Oscar Carvallo, Rene Ruiz — and some great design schools. For the Beacon Council, we want to keep that talent here and attract more of it. To do that, we need to give those designers the opportunity to produce here, so we have to support more manufacturing facilities and jobs.” Does your personal style ever play into your work? “I mean, I’m not a designer, I’m not an artist. I work with mostly young brands that are asking me my opinion on important things, looking for my vision and my counseling. This is my way of expressing my creativity, and I love it.” WORDS BY EVAN S. BENN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK GARCIA / SHOT ON LOCATION AT MIAMI IRONSIDE

� FOR FALL Jonathan Torjman picks his favorite Stone Rose seasonal looks. “A great layering piece that can be worn under a jacket or light sweater. The flocked polka dot gives it extra texture.”
{ CLOTHIER }
Jonathan Torjman His Aventura-based Stone Rose is rewriting the rules for menswear.
L
ike many great tales, Jonathan Torjman’s Stone Rose story begins in Las Vegas. About 10 years ago, the fledgling Miami menswear brand was about to debut at Magic, an influential trade show in Vegas. The company’s founders, unexpectedly one man down, called on their childhood friend Torjman, at the time a Montrealbased retail consultant, to help them out. Torjman agreed, and the rest is history. “It’s what you might call an ah-ha moment,” he said of that trip. “We won Best Booth, and we began building relationships.” FROM WORK TO PLAY Today, Stone Rose has gained fans across the globe, pioneering what Torjman — now the company’s sales director and co-owner —

INDULGE | OCTOBER 2017 | miamiindulge.com
calls a new approach to menswear. “The brand was birthed of necessity,” he said. “There was a gap in the market when it came to transitional pieces. Guys wore their basic dress shirts to the office, then they went home and changed into something more fun. “Our shirts can be worn under a sport coat, dressed up, dressed down. You can take off your jacket and go. There’s a lot of versatility.” But the brand is more than just shirts. Torjman credits much of Stone Rose’s growth and staying power to his partner Shai Medalsy, the creative force behind the designs. “There are brands that have come and gone because they had a shelf life,” Torjman said. “We realized early on that if we want to do this for a long time we can’t be a one-trick pony.”
MIAMI BY DESIGN Throughout the brand’s evolution, Stone Rose has maintained an element of Miami in all of its designs. “Miami is woven into the DNA of Stone Rose,” said Torjman, who relocated from Montreal to South Florida not long after his fateful Vegas trip. “There’s always a youthful, fun flair to the clothing.” And the company is committed to pushing the boundaries of men’s style, whether that means shirts that feel like a tee but look like a button-down, or incorporating anti-microbial and moisture-wicking properties into collections. “We’re always looking for new things, new inspiration,” Torjman said. “People are looking to us to lead the way.” WORDS BY ANDREA CARNEIRO / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK GARCIA / SHOT ON LOCATION AT SEMINOLE HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO
“The fabric is superstretchy and comfortable. One of the best new additions to the collection.” “Believe it or not, turtlenecks are back in a big way this season. Made from lightweight merino wool, this piece is dip-dyed for a little twist of fashion.”
“Perfect for Miami because it offers a fallappropriate look but works perfectly for our ‘winters.’”

{DISH}
ITALYIN MIAMI
We sent our correspondent to Italy with the Florentine founder of La Centrale to get a taste of Brickell City Centre’s upcoming Italian food hall.
t’s our last night in Tuscany, and Jacopo Giustiniani leans toward me to translate a quote on a restaurant menu by Italian journalist Indro Montanelli, dated 1980. We’re dining at the rustic Antica Locanda di Sesto, nestled at a bend in the River Serchio in the shadow of the Appenine and Alpi Apuane Mountains — or, as Giustiniani puts it, “the middle of nowhere.” Tuscan summer days are boiling hot beneath clear blue skies, but by dusk, the heat subsides — stirring the appetite — and nightblooming jasmine and iris flowers perfume the air. The horizon turns pink, casting a chalky, gray glow on the vast pastoral landscape. The effect is a little magical, like something from an old movie or a daydream. A native of Florence, Giustiniani, 37, grew up summering here, in Lucca, at his family’s villas and their Fattoria Sardi winery. He spent the past decade in New York as restaurateur of upscale Italian destinations Felice and Sant Ambroeus (the latter also has a location in Palm Beach). In December he will unveil his ambitious La Centrale Food Hall, a three-story, 38,000-square-foot homage to Italian cuisine and culture, inside Miami’s Brickell City Centre.

the life Renderings of La Centrale’s ground-floor Mercato, right, and second-floor Stagionale restaurant, bottom, show a few of the grab-and-go and sit-down options that will be available when the 38,000-squarefoot space opens in December at Brickell City Centre. Freshbaked bread, farmgrown tomatoes, craft gelato and homemade pasta are among the inspiration for La Centrale’s Italian flavors.
ALL THE SENSES “The Italians are a country of cooks,” Giustiniani recites from the leather-bound menu in his softly lilting Italian accent. He bears a slight resemblance to a young, slender Al Pacino, only far less brooding, easier to smile and crack a joke. He says that Italian chefs initially took offense to this comment, but Montanelli defended his statement by explaining “that every Italian, in our DNA, we’re cooks,” thanks to the country’s rich ingredients. After spending a week eating my way through Tuscany and the seaside region of Liguria guided by Giustiniani and his La Centrale creative team, I understand why this quote strikes a chord with him. On my plate, the evening’s antipasti is a thickly sliced, juicy, jewel-red heirloom tomato topped with a round of mozzarella di bufala and basil, a simple fried zucchini blossom and Angus beef carpaccio with arugula and Parmigiano Reggiano— all doused in the not-sosecret Tuscan ingredient, olive oil.
54
INDULGE | OCTOBER 2017 | miamiindulge.com
The swoon-worthy highlights continued at Ristorante All’Olivo inside the medieval walled city of Lucca, where Giustiniani said he would choose the spaghetti with baby clams as his last meal. In true Italian fashion, he then prepared a version of his favorite snack for me to try: a single, briny sardine with a thick smear of butter atop crusty ciabatta. Yes, Italy has a way of romancing all of your senses.
It was a week of bests, starting with our first meal in Florence on the sidewalk terrace of Caffe Cibreo beneath pink silk-shaded string lights. Over four hours, a million tiny plates crossed our table — pate, ricotta flan, salty prosciutto Toscana, an outrageously acidic beef tartare seared to a caramelized char — along with countless bottles of rosé, white, red, then a procession of delicate little desserts, and not one of us growing antsy.
IMPORTING TO MIAMI So how will the experience of being in Italy translate into La Centrale, Miami’s first Italian food hall? For starters, Giustiniani enlisted Giancarlo Pietri, partner at South Beach’s Urban Robot architecture and design studio, to create spaces inside La Centrale that conjure different Italian regions. “We never wanted to recreate or thematize,” Pietri said. “We want something to remind you of the place. It’s much more suggestive than literal, much more subtle. We also want it to be fresh, hip and cool.”
La Centrale will transport diners to Tuscany, Liguria, Sardinia, Sicily, Lombardy and Puglia beneath a single roof. The first floor is home to a caffe, mercato, pizza and pasta bar. On the second floor, you’ll find three restaurants (Carne, Pesce and Stagionale), as well as a central aperitivo bar and Italy’s own Venchi gelateria — complete with chocolate faucets. The third floor holds a wine shop and enoteca with 4,000 wines, mostly from Italy.
Dimitri Panciera of Veneto holds the record for the most number of gelato scoops on a cone: 121.

Jacopo Giustiniani, below in pink, toasts with Giancarlo Pietri and Leslie Chimelis of South Beach’s Urban Robot design firm during a scouting meal for La Centrale at Caffe Cibreo in Florence.

COMING SOON Following La Centrale, a smattering of similar projects is heading to Miami: THE CITADEL With Taquiza, Myumi, Cake Thai, River Oyster Bar and Stanzione 87 already signed on as tenants, the 60,000-square-foot Citadel in Little River is part food hall, part marketplace and part workspace. thecitadelmiami.com.
Buongiorno! There are at least 34 different languages spoken in Italy, including regional-specific variants like Sicilian and Neapolitan.
About an hour’s drive south of Florence, we visited Manetti, Gusmano & Figli, eighth-generation terra cotta tile producers whose work figures prominently into the design of Carne, as well as the wine shop and bar. Pietri and Giustiniani derived inspiration for Carne’s vaulted tiled ceiling after dining beneath Florence’s classic Trattoria Cammillo’s. Carne’s walls will be treated with white-glazed terra cotta tiles and a red racing stripe accent — “the signature of any important butcher shop in Italy,” Pietri said. Throughout La Centrale, Pietri utilized pietra di Trani marble imported from Puglia, smoked white oak and brass in sleek, mid-century lines, and typography inspired by Italian architecture from that era. “It says we’re here to stay,” Pietri said. Of course, the harmony of authentic Italian flavors and warm hospitality is what will solidify La Centrale’s success, and Giustiniani is determined for that to be the case.
QUALITY COMES FIRST Going back to that Montanelli quote, Giustiniani explained that Miami’s access to high-quality ingredients will allow La Centrale’s Italian cooking to shine. “It doesn’t mean the ingredients have to be Italian. You have amazing tomatoes in Florida. Pasta brands, you can find whatever you want in America. Fish, you have excellent fish. “It’s just the way you cook it,” he continued. “Do you want to cook the fish with a lot of garlic and kill the flavor of the fish, or do
you just want to put it in the oven with a touch of rosemary and olive oil or lemon?” Trust me — you’ll want the fish cooked by an Italian with a touch of rosemary, olive oil and lemon. Afterward, you’ll also probably want to stroll to Venchi on La Centrale’s second floor for two scoops of gelato before an afternoon of shopping at Brickell City Centre.

n cooking and in life, there are shortcuts, and there is a path that is longer, more challenging — and more rewarding. At Stanzione 87 in Brickell, where owners Franco and Ashley Stanzione pride themselves on following Neapolitan pizza-making traditions, shortcuts are not an option. That means they let dough slowferment for days before it even sees a lick of sauce. They cook pies in a domed, rocket-hot, wood-burning Italian oven. They make mozzarella from scratch every morning, handpulling it into dozens of pillowy rounds for that night’s dinner service. “I’m not a chef by any means; I just know how to make pizza,” the ever-humble Franco Stanzione said.

TRAINED IN NEW YORK The Stanziones, both 28, grew up in Miami and started dating as high schoolers at Gulliver Prep. They stayed together through college in New York — she was an art-history and fine-arts major, he studied finance — and made plans to come home after graduation. A privateequity job Franco Stanzione had lined up fell through, and he decided to seize the opportunity to create a business plan, find investors and open a pizzeria that honored his family’s Neapolitan heritage. They opened the restaurant in early 2013, in the construction shadows of what’s now the bustling Brickell City Centre. Stanzione had learned to make pizza at the hand of master pizzaiolo Giulio Adriani in New York, and he had grown up spending time in his uncle’s restaurants in Key Biscayne. The rest, the couple figured out along the way. “It’s like when a baby is stuck under a car, and its mom finds the superhuman strength to lift up the car and save the baby. That’s sort

of what happened with us and this restaurant,” Ashley Stanzione said. “It’s really hard work, trying to do everything the right way, but we love it. I’m so happy to come to work every single day, because I get to work with my best friend.” SIMPLE, NATURAL, ROMANTIC Part of doing things the right way, as Adriani instilled in Franco Stanzione, is using fresh mozzarella on Neapolitan pizzas. Stanzione makes about 80 pounds of mozzarella every morning, using nothing more than cheese curds, Sicilian sea salt and hot water. “Because our pizza cooks so quickly, the integrity of the mozzarella remains intact and you can really taste it,” he said. “We have to make sure the quality is fantastic, so we make it ourselves. Who doesn’t want homemade mozzarella? It’s fresh, it’s romantic, and it shows the care that we put into our food.” It’s a remarkably simple process, provided your hands can withstand some time submerged in very hot water (tip: wear latex gloves). Once you’ve gotten a hang of pulling and shaping your own cheese, it’s hard to imagine ever going back to storebought for fresh caprese salads or pizza nights at home. As for the Stanziones, they’re bringing their no-shortcut pizzas to The Citadel, the food hall opening later this year in Little River. And they have plans to keep growing their brand after that. “We definitely want to open more restaurants,” Stanzione said. “With Neapolitan pizza, we’re not reinventing the wheel. We’re preserving an art form that’s been around for hundreds of years.” Stanzione 87, 87 Southwest Eighth Street, Miami; 786-360-1852; stanzione87.com.
STANZIONE 87 MOZZARELLA MAKES ABOUT 10 BALLS
INGREDIENTS 5 pounds fresh cheese curds (see note) 2½ ounces coarse sea salt (about 70 grams) 8 cups water 1. Bring water to a boil in a teapot. Meanwhile, crumble or grate the cheese curds into a large bowl, breaking them into pebble-size pieces. Sprinkle salt over the curds. 2. Pour about half the hot water — just below boiling — into the bowl with the curds, trying not to pour directly onto the curds. Reserve the remaining hot water. 3. Using two wooden spoons, work the curds as they soften in the water. Drain water from the bowl, then add the reserved water, reheated to near-boiling. Continue to work with the spoons until the cheese texture becomes smooth and melds together. 4. Use your hands — the water is very hot; it helps to wear a pair of latex gloves — to pull and stretch the cheese. Shape the mozzarella into baseballsize balls, using a thumb and index finger to close them at the bottom. 5. Place finished mozzarella balls into an ice-water bath to cool. They will keep for several days submerged in the ice-bath water, covered and refrigerated. NOTE: Cheese curds available at Mimmo’s Italian Market, 475 Northeast 123rd Street, North Miami; 305-351-6826.

natural juice, you can still count on Italy to deliver that Old World melody of fruit, earth and spice that distinguishes sweetly dry from dryly sweet. With their comparatively low alcohol and high quality, these six wines represent several Italian regions with distinctions you can mull over, luxuriate in and sweet-talk about:
WHITE 2016 Kettmeir Müller Thurgau This wine looks German but speaks Italian. There’s fresh coconut on the nose; on the palate, honeysuckle, honeydew and guinep (Spanish lime) dance through a light, mineral finish. $19.

2016 Masseria Li Veli Verdeca The nose offers Riesling-esque petrol followed by crème fraîche, almonds and macadamia nuts. On the palate, soursop fruit is enlivened by steely and stony notes. $13 glass, $59 bottle. Upland, 49 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 305-602-9998; uplandmiami.com.
SPARKLING 2014 Bisol Crede Brut This is not your everyday Prosecco. Its light straw color and white-peach nose lead to grapefruit and lime flavors that drift through the sandstone terroir, coming alive in an epic mineral finish. $23. Sunset Corners, 8701 Southwest 72nd Street, Kendall; 305-271-8492; sunsetcorners.com.
2010 Ferrari Perlé A wildly alluring, dimple-carving salinity creeps from the Trento cool into a sparkling wine that boasts aromas and flavors of Japanese pear, dragonfruit, and Honeycrisp and Malay apples. A bargain for boutique Champagne lovers. $63. Wine by the Bay, 888 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 112, Miami; 305-455-9791; winebtb.com.

DISTRICT
A creation of developer Craig Robins, the Miami Design District over the past decade has morphed into a go-to destination for locals and visitors. While the district began as and still is the “it” place for high-end designers and furniture stores, it has become so much more than that. Just three square blocks, the neighborhood features flagship stores from luxury fashion houses, mom-and-pop restaurants and independent boutiques. It’s the little Miami neighborhood that packs a big, artful punch.
Back when the district was just an idea, Karen Quinones, the owner of En Avance since 1993, decided to take a chance and move her global design house from Lincoln Road to the mainland. “I was the first one here, so there was absolutely nothing,” she said. “I thought that the Design District was a cool place to feature my things in a gallery-type space.” Eleven years later, Quinones says that the neighborhood has undergone a “total transformation.” Guests walk into En Avance and find clothing, accessories, home goods, beauty, stationery and more from the design minds of international creators.
Farm-fresh finds “The Market #atMDD is my Wednesday stop (3-8 p.m.) for all things organic and yummy.

the life A shining star in Surfside, Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club is Miami’s new oasis of elegance our Seasons Surf Club Brings Glamour Back to Miami,” a Forbes headline trumpeted this summer. “Four Seasons Surf Club Evokes Miami’s Former Glamour,” CNN chimed in. Clearly, something about this months-old property was inspiring liberal use of the G-word among visiting media. What was all the fuss about, we wondered? Could a new hotel be that special in a town where new hotels seem to sprout overnight in the sand? We checked in on a Saturday afternoon; before dinner that evening I had already been googling synonyms of glamour. Because I didn’t want to use that word again, but gosh it’s hard to find a more fitting descriptor of the kind of vibe this place gives off. Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, opened this year, encompasses three striking towers of glistening glass, designed by Richard Meier, that surround the original 1930 clubhouse. The new buildings house 72 guest rooms and private residences, while the historic Surf Club structure is home to public areas like the serene lobby, Le Sirenuse Restaurant and Champagne Bar, and — coming next year — a restaurant by famed chef Thomas Keller.

the life remember you’re in Miami and not the Amalfi Coast or French Riviera. That’s not to say the new Four Seasons doesn’t display a sense of place. South Florida is showcased in the hundreds of native trees that local landscape architect Fernando Wong meticulously placed throughout the nine-acre property. And the palette of blue ocean and downtown skyline — both in full view from our south- and east-facing wraparound balcony — are unmistakably Miami. Spacious and state-of-the-art guest rooms, designed by Joseph Dirand, are tranquil in color and minimalist in decor, but amenities await discovery in every nook. Open drapes and dim lights with the touch of a bedside tablet, mix cocktails atop a green-marble bar, and rest your phone in style on a smartly placed design pedestal in the bathroom. Hospitality throughout leaves no question that this is a Four Seasons. Doors are opened with a smile, pool toys for kids are delivered at water’s edge on a platter, and fingerprint smudges on elevator buttons or any surface are wiped on sight. DECADENCE EVERYWHERE The hotel brought in Four Seasons veterans from other properties to ensure The Surf Club hit the ground running. A massage therapist at the phenomenal Spa — who gave the kind of deep-tissue treatment that’s so relaxing you could fall right asleep, but you don’t because you don’t want to miss any of it — told me she came here from the Four Seasons Orlando. Executive chef Jose Gamez, who was most recently at Four Seasons Miami’s Edge Steak and Bar, oversees menus with enough variety that you’d be hard-pressed to find a reason to leave the property to eat. Find several of those menus at Le Sirenuse, where Italian chef de cuisine Antonio Mermolia is reinventing and recreating Southern Italian classics. A dinner appetizer of buffalo mozzarella, ubiquitous in Miami Italian restaurants, here is served warm — an eye-opening technique twist — with acidic-sweet pops of peeled grape tomatoes. At breakfast, that mozzarella makes a reprise as small dots covering a bowl of eggs poached in tomato

A really, really good cure for that: two scoops of mint-chip ice cream from Serendipity Creamery, located a few blocks from the hotel in downtown Surfside.

STAY When you spend a third of your life in hotels, like INK Entertainment CEO Charles Khabouth, you gain insight into what works. Frustrated with lackadaisical boutique properties and stuffy luxury brands, the restaurateur behind Byblos in Miami Beach, as well as a slew of upscale eateries and nightclubs from Toronto to Dubai, decided to try his hand at a 96-room hotel. Bisha (bisha.com), his Lebanese nickname, meets his gold standard, including interiors by Studio Munge and an entire floor designed by Lenny Kravitz. There are nightlife influences, such as the lounge’s kissing booths and rooms’ retro bar carts, and an open-air rooftop with an infinity pool. Being a Khabouth operation, dining at Bisha goes the extra mile, too. A 24-hour café, lobby bar, Japanese
concept and rooftop restaurant can simultaneously serve 600 diners. He hopes to see Bisha go global like Four Seasons (fourseasons.com/toronto), another Toronto-based brand. To celebrate Canada’s milestone, Four Seasons is offering a package with a two-night minimum stay at its properties nationwide through December 30. Guests of the 259-room Toronto flagship receive a welcome gift and $150 (in Canadian dollars) to spend at Café Boulud and the Spa. Toronto’s Bisha hotel, top and left, was founded by the owner of Byblos in Miami Beach; it includes a rooftop lounge and retro-cool touches like in-room bar carts. Four Seasons Toronto, above, is offering special packages through the end of the year in honor of Canada’s 150th birthday.

The brewskis runneth over here, but cocktail tourists should also try sister bar Prettyugly (prettyuglybar.com) across the street. Its Pink Porcelain — green juice with a Cynar and akvavit kick — keeps air-travel sniffles at bay. Weather wimps who don’t wish to brave the windswept streets of Kensington Market can stay cozy inside Drake Commissary (drakecommissary.ca) in the emerging Junction Triangle neighborhood. Its ambitiously equipped, 6,000-square-foot kitchen produces astounding amounts of from-scratch fare, not only for the high-energy, on-site bar, restaurant and market but also for the Drake Hotel and Drake General Store in Toronto.

Alas, there’s proof in amusing vestiges like a posted rule for “No Gutting Fish [in rooms!].” Following a massive makeover by new owners April Brown and Sarah Sklash, guests are greeted instead with a pink neon sign celebrating “Peace, love, wine.” The last bit is because Prince Edward County, their bucolic locale on Lake Ontario, is touted for Burgundy-level vineyards. The motif matures like a pinot noir from nearby Norman Hardie, the one that introduced Brown and Sklash to the region’s charms, with 16 rooms classified as Wine Studios and Rosé Suites. Tailored for Instagram, the grownup slumber party vibe supplies more locally sourced goodies and good times. Baths brim with Sunday’s Company natural toiletries, and mornings present pastries from Perfect Lil’ Bake Shop.

the life For lifestyle shopping, head to Souvenir, left, which stocks all kinds of wares from Canadian designers. Evergreen Brickworks, below, hosts the city’s largest farmers market on Saturdays.
SHOP Clotheshorses could spend hours in Holt Renfrew (holtrenfrew.com), Canada’s luxury department store, and wending their way down Queen Street West, but these pearls are worth the extra Uber fare. For her lifestyle store, Souvenir (souvenir-studios.com), Joe Fresh alum Danielle Suppa often tweaks wares by dozens of Canadian designers. Aunt Rae’s suede totes, Horses Atelier’s cotton jumpsuits and Mercury Bureau’s pendant lights are all on the receiving end of her creative eye. Fans of Sunset Harbour’s Gee Beauty (geebeauty.com) are inclined to make a pilgrimage to its original spa and boutique in the Rosedale neighborhood. Evergreen Brick Works (evergreen.ca), an all-encompassing, environmental community center, hosts the city’s largest, year-round farmers market on Saturdays, as well as an outdoor event on Sundays through November 5.
DO As Miami readies for The Underline beneath the Metrorail, Toronto broke ground on its version, The Bentway (thebentway.ca). Unveiled in phases, the linear public space below the Gardiner Expressway will eventually link more than a mile of gardens and amenities like performance venues and a multi-use trail, including ice skating, by summer. Until MOCA (museumofcontemporaryart.ca) reopens in a former auto parts factory in Junction Triangle in spring, get your fill at the Art Gallery of Ontario (ago.ca). Its well-timed exhibit for Halloween, “Guillermo del Toro: At Home with Monsters,” culls art and objects from the filmmaker’s personal cabinet of curiosities. Explore AGO’s blue titanium addition by Frank Gehry and other starchitects’ contributions to the skyline with walking tours by appointment with the Toronto Society of Architects (torontosocietyofarchitects.ca).

A WORLD AWAY Somewhere along the southern Caribbean Sea is an archipelago of five main islands that offers a French retreat blended with the tropical sun. Guadeloupe is where Miami’s ultra-rich go to keep a low profile and for a French fix that’s closer to home. This French-Caribbean destination is known for a culinary tradition that blends French, Creole and Indian influences, as well as for yachting, hiking and volcano-seeing and digital detoxing. Here are some top places to stay, see and explore: Villa Ayati
Aqua Lodge

INDULGE | OCTOBER 2017 | miamiindulge.com
Villa Ayati at La Toubana Hotel & Spa For an uber-luxury experience, Villa Ayati is Guadeloupe’s most high-end accommodation. This exclusive four-bedroom villa sits atop a hill with a breathtaking view overlooking the Atlantic. Lay out at the villa’s 82-foot infinity pool or at its private beach. Chef and butler services will cater to you, or dine on fresh lobsters at the on-site Au Grand Bleu. lesvillasdelatoubana.com.
Tendacayou Ecolodge and Spa This posh accommodation in the heart of Guadeloupe's rainforest puts you in touch with nature in an eco-chic environment. Relax in a natural spa, then continue the escape with a horseback ride through the National Park, rewarding yourself with a seafood meal at the property’s Red Fish restaurant. tendacayou.com/en. Les Saintes This mini archipelago six miles south of Guadeloupe’s mainland offers low-key luxury and charming scenery with its bistro-lined streets and lively Creole culture. You can’t go wrong with a stay at the Aqua Lodge (aqualodge.fr/en), a self-sustaining floating home, and dining at Au Bon Vivre (aubonvivre.com) with cuisine from the south of France. —FABIOLA FLEURANVIL

[LASIK]
Dr. Richard S. Kalski Best LASIK and Laser Cataract Surgeon Richard S. Kalski, MD, specializes in custom blade-free advanced procedures. Fellowship-trained in Refractive Surgery, Dr. Richard S. Kalski concentrated on learning about surgeries and technologies that provide patients with the best possible vision while minimizing their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Dr. Kalski can treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism with LASIK. He can also treat those conditions with Custom Laser Cataract Surgery and intraocular lenses. As a refractive surgery specialist on the cutting edge of technology, Dr. Kalski customizes each patient's procedure to address their visual needs. Here, a Q&A with the surgeon. How do you choose which procedure is best for your patient? “I listen to my patient and take into consideration his or her visual needs and medical conditions. For my patient who is younger than 40, or older than 40 who does not mind wearing reading glasses, then LASIK is an excellent choice. For my older-than-40 patient who wants to be less dependent on glasses, a Refractive Lens Exchange with an advanced technology lens may be a better choice. This procedure is performed in the same manner as Custom Laser Cataract Surgery, only a cataract is not present. When my patient is experiencing visual difficulty due to a cataract, cataract surgery may be medically needed. Custom Laser Cataract Surgery with an advanced technology lens may be the best choice for this patient. Advanced technology lenses are
now available that correct all distances: far, intermediate and near, whether astigmatism is present or not.” What is a common misconception about eye procedures? “That they are very painful. I perform both LASIK and cataract surgery with anesthetic eye drops. Minimal systemic sedation is used for both LASIK and cataract surgery.” What is a typical reaction you have from patients after treatment? “Wow! Why did I wait so long? Why was I so afraid of surgery? I am so happy!” What is the best advice that you can give to patients? “You must feel comfortable with your eye surgeon. Ask questions and get informed.” What sets your practice apart from others? “I have a high-tech mom-and-pop practice. We provide friendly, personalized care while offering the most advanced technologies available in my field. I personally perform an extensive eye exam and review surgery options with all my patients prior to their surgery. I devise a customized treatment plan for each patient. This personalized care continues post-operatively when I personally examine and monitor my patients’ progress.”

Miami moments Fashion in Miami has dual personalities. There’s the vibrant, flashy, colorful side that pops when juxtaposed with our beachy backdrop hues of palm-tree green and seawater blue. And then there’s the understated, graceful, black-and-white side that always sets the tone, regardless of setting. More of the first side comes out in the new fall looks modeled at Frost Science and PAMM, both Miami cultural gems. The second side is revealed in a culminating nod to Miami’s significant Italian community and to that country’s iconic design houses, a natural fit for the organic look of black and white. These pages capture two moments in the city we love. Whether it’s a day at Museum Park or a night out on the town, you’ll find your personality here.
M USEUM This fall, designers are rolling out looks that are simultaneously sexy and sophisticated — the kind you feel as confident wearing on a big night out as you do on a carefree day with a friend. The new Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science invited INDULGE for an exclusive after-hours shoot that continued next door at Pérez Art Museum Miami: a day at Museum Park to showcase the best of what’s cool right now.

In honor of October being Italian-American Heritage Month, INDULGE gathered five Miami tastemakers of Italian descent at an Italian restaurant in South Beach. We outfitted them head-to-toe in Italian designer clothing and let the limoncello flow. The camera’s flash lit up the dining room in Macchialina as flashes of lightning outside ushered in a downpour. Storms only added to the sultry atmosphere of this private dinner, where the sweet life was in full swing. See miamiindulge.com for more from the interviews and for original Macchialina recipes.
DANILO DI MICHELE Founder and President of DDM Advertising. Represents the world’s most luxurious furniture and design brands. Can’t live without Armani. What’s in your closet? “Only Armani. I love the style. Clean and classic, less is more. You don’t need all the shine.” What’s your style? “I like vintage. Vintage accessories for me are mandatory. It brings a connection to the past.” Why do you gravitate toward handcrafted furniture? “I worked with designers in fashion and realized it’s too fast. A piece of furniture takes at least a year to produce. To produce a jacket takes a day.” Fun Fact: Di Michele travels home to Italy every two months, where he has offices in Milan and Verona and a house on a lake.
Danilo Di Michele in Giorgio Armani.
The United States is home to the third-largest number of people with Italian ancestry — 17 million — outside of Italy. The top two are Brazil and Argentina.
Iconic designer Gianni Versace left half of his fashion empire to his niece, Allegra, in his will. She inherited it in 2004 when she turned 18.
LAUREN GNAZZO Principal of luxury publicity firm Gnazzo Group. Digs her Italian roots and Miami’s growing Italian community. Modern fashionista with an edge.
Lauren Gnazzo in Salvatore Ferragamo.
What’s next for fashion in Miami? “Miami is definitely catching up to the other major fashion capitals of the world, putting itself on the radar of major global houses. Louis Vuitton chose only eight cities to host its recent Supreme x Louis Vuitton pop-up shops. Miami’s Design District boutique was chosen. That’s big.” What’s your fashion philosophy? “Fashion should express something. I like to wear a statement earring or something with pop to tie together an outfit. I’m all about that crazy earring!” Does your Italian heritage inform your style? “Italians value family and tradition, which are both very important to me. I always take good care of fashion and jewelry pieces that have been handed down through generations and incorporate them into my everyday looks.”

MIKE PIROLO Chef and owner of Macchialina. Business and life partner with Jen Chaefsky. Raised in Avellino, Italy. Could happily eat pasta for breakfast, lunch and dinner. On why his restaurant is kind of a big deal: “We’re unique to Miami — it’s chef-driven but still affordable. We could have the CEO of the Fontainebleau at one table and the butcher and the valet at another table.” On his Italian mother: “Our meatballs at Macchialina are very close to my mom’s recipe — but she says they’re nothing like hers! It’s a friendly competition.” On working with Chaefsky: “The first year, I thought, ‘What did we do?!’ But now it’s amazing. You can’t put a price tag on knowing you’re getting the truth when you work with your wife.”
Mike Pirolo in Ermenegildo Zegna, Miami Design District.
Fun Fact: He and Chaefsky live two blocks from their restaurant. They met while working at The Striped Bass in Philadelphia. He was a line cook, she was the manager.
JEN CHAEFSKY Managing partner of Macchialina (aka: she runs the show). Business and life partner with Mike Pirolo. Learned the biz under culinary icon Stephen Starr’s banner. On Italian cooking: “My Dad’s side is all Italian. My Polish side had Italian neighbors, so my grandmother learned how to make red sauce and meatballs from them. She put a whole onion in her sauce because her neighbor said, ‘Add an onion.’” On what’s next for Italian food in Miami: “Miami is at the forefront of lighter cuisine because everyone is in less clothing. Italian cuisine is lightening up.” On her home kitchen: “We didn’t use the kitchen for the first four years. Now we cook — one takes the lead and the other is the sous chef.” Fun Fact: For Mike’s birthday, Jen bought him a woodfired pizza oven for their yard. While customers line up for the restaurant’s acclaimed Roman pizza served only on Sunday evenings, the couple hosts friends and family at home.

MARTINA BORGOMANERO BASABE Heiress to the La Perla lingerie empire. Ambassador of Italian style and culture. Wife of reality star Fabian Basabe and full-time mom to Brando, 8. Why Miami? “I was only supposed to stay a year, but I can’t imagine myself anywhere else. The city gives a lot to the people here: the energy, the climate, the beaches. People here are very happy!” How does your Italian fashion sense fit into Miami? “It’s very difficult to dress in Miami. The warmth would bring you to dress very summery, but this is a city, so you can’t just wear a hippie dress all the time! I just wear what I feel. If I want to wear a boot in the summer, I will. I don’t like to be limited.” What’s next for Italians here? “We keep coming! A lot of Italians are opening restaurants for Italians — the traditional, simple food and the regional specialties.” Fun Fact: Martina dotes on her toy Australian Shepherd, SodaPop. He’s named for the character in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Outsiders, because, she says, “SodaPop Curtis was the best-looking thing I’ve seen!”
Martina Borgomanero Basabe in Dolce & Gabbana, Bal Harbour Shops.
While 13 is considered a superstitious number in many cultures, it’s one Italians consider to be filled with luck. Unlucky? 17.

1-4. “Aguaclara designers Jorge and Liliana Villalobos found a harmonious combination between bold colors, elegant patterns, and unique cuts and shapes. These are my four favorites.” 5. “Agua Bendita fabulously combined earthy tones with intricate detailing, including plenty of fringe. Designers Catalina Alvarez and Mariana Hinestroza, who take pride in the brand’s initiative of employing artisan women in Colombia, tapped Colombian model and actress Ariadna Gutierrez (center) to open the show.” 6-8. “Beach Bunny’s Heaven on Earth collection was an array of black, beige and bubblegum pink. I like the way these three bikinis each say sexy in unique ways.” 9. “Gottex Swim presented the most elegant swimsuit I saw. This white halter-top two-piece is almost bridal — definitely for a special occasion.” 10. “Keva J Swimwear’s black bikini is sporty and casual, but the razor-front cut of the top gives it an edge.” 11. “Liliana Montoya’s latest collection, inspired by a trip to the Maldives, includes this vivid bikini with double straps on the bottom: high-rise and low-rise.”

ook like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under (i)t.” Written more than 400 years ago by Shakespeare, the words that Lady Macbeth uses to persuade her husband to murder remain thrilling. Throughout the tragedy, Lady Macbeth is called “unnatural” for embodying the stereotypically male traits of ambition, aggression and violence. This duality — of surface appearance hiding a menacing subtext — can also be seen in the new Love jacket by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent. A jean jacket adorned with fine floral embroidery at first sight reveals undulating snakes upon closer inspection. Although it’s part of the designer’s Fall 2017 collection for men, it truly is a unisex piece. For women, the oversize boyfriend jacket from the ’90s is having a big moment, looking fresh on Rihanna and Bella Hadid. The ultimate wink is the garment’s cheeky name, Love, which hints at the sexual undertones of the snake and flower iconography. Innocent? Maybe. But certainly not unnatural. $3,490. Saint Laurent at Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour; 305-868-4424; ysl.com.
