FOUNDER’S LETTER
ith back-to-school craziness, charity events and fashion parties galore, the beginning of fall was in full throttle! But when the call to shoot fashion icon Sarah Jessica Parker in New York came in, it was an on-set opportunity not to be missed. In the early aughts, SJP became everyone’s idea of the “it girl,” so I was excited to spend a day seeing if she truly was a bit like her alter ego,
Carrie Bradshaw—and she did not disappoint. Arriving to set on a rainy September NYC day proved tricky (no taxis to be had, so S.F.-
based Uber came to my rescue!) but once inside the lofty studio, I felt like I had entered every girl’s dream: Racks of the most fabulous frocks, shoes for miles (with lots of pairs from SJP’s new venture for good measure) and accessories to die for—it was an ultimate fashion moment. With the very experienced stylist Erin Walsh on set as well as hair guru Serge Normant completing the look, SJP was in good hands. Coupled with easygoing photographer Richard Phibbs, the team worked deftly to create fresh, fun images that translate perfectly on the pages. All of the above was de rigueur for our many cover shoots (this was our 102nd!), but it was the process in which SJP herself helped create each outfit along with the stylist that was most fascinating to watch: She picked her pieces and started to layer…and mix…and layer. Jeans went under every ensemble (very California) and then she moved on to the accessories. This being the jewelry and accessories issue, it was right on point. She took Chanel necklaces and draped them as belts, she threw on a fanny pack in the most fashionable of ways (who knew?)…
Founder’s Letter
and let’s not forget about that hat she placed on her head in just the right way. She truly was Carrie incarnate during those moments…or maybe it was Carrie that was SJP incarnate? It was one of those days that I won’t forget. As someone I respect in many ways as a working mother, talented actress and entrepreneur, SJP created a beautiful story on a rainy day that is a memory to cherish. Speaking of things enchanting, this issue is full of jewelry that will beguile. From the designers in our own backyard who are creating remarkable pieces to the gems that need to go on everyone’s holiday wish list, we have you covered in all that glitters. And since you can’t only wear sparklers (or can you?), we have the coziest of sweaters and coats in our fashion portfolio to keep you toasty as our weather drops a few degrees. Strong, powerful, fashionable women continue as a theme in the issue with our profile of style original Anjelica Huston. She epitomized an entire decade with her sartorial choices. Her acting, her loves and her timeless fashions are still oh-so relevant. Between SJP and Anjelica, it just goes to show you what a knack for style and a strong sense of self can do—inspire many a

WRITTEN BY LESLEY McKENZIE. RICKY MIDDLESWORTH
ne of August Getty’s fondest memories is tracking down a vintage Emilio Pucci jumpsuit at age 9 with his mother, Ariadne Getty—daughter of the late John Paul Getty II. “We were on the hunt for it,” says Getty of the one-of-a-kind piece, which the family archived. “We would go to stores or look at things online, or in lookbooks, and agree or disagree [on them]. It was like looking at art.” Fast-forward a decade, and mother and son have even more clothes to bond over: Getty’s eponymous womenswear collection, launched from the newly opened August Getty Atelier in Culver City. With a focus on eveningwear (think statuesque draped gowns and minis with structured silhouettes), the collection made its debut at Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week this fall. >>

WHAT’S HOT << “I had all these sketches that had been building up since I was a kid, and I was tired of seeing them on the wall,” says Getty, 20, who cites his sister, Natalia, 21, as his muse, and the late Alexander McQueen as a strong influence. “I wanted to see them come to life.” Earlier this year, he tried his hand at menswear with the line Anzevino Getty, a street-wear collaboration with co-creative director William Anzevino, currently sold at Maxfield. The young designer is quick to credit an internship at age 15 with Cameron Silver at Los Angeles vintage emporium Decades as a pivotal moment in finding his sartorial calling. “It was an incredible time,” he says, fondly recalling his first day on the job, when supermodel Iman walked through the door, and befriending influential fashion figures, including milliner Philip Treacy. But it was a childhood spent surrounded by his mother’s couture gowns that ultimately steered him in the direction of eveningwear. It’s an embodiment of “a lifestyle that speaks to me,” he says. “It’s elegance, Old Hollywood, premieres, Marilyn Monroe and fabulous dinners.” From $80 to $1,600; augustgetty.com. •

Proprietor Brook Lane, an interior and accessories designer who runs the textile-forward accessories brand Job & Boss, opened Percy with artist Luisa Matsushita’s exhibit “ANIMAL” featuring sumo ink drawings, collages and a collaboration with S.F. ceramicist Daren Wilson. “A good friend coined the name Percy as that proverbial character who is always up to something. Percy is an alter ego who gets to do all the things we tend to hold back on,” says Lane. For Percy’s next thrill, S.F. artist Chris Fallon is on display through Nov. 22. 4124 Broadway St., Oakland; percyonbroadway.com. Luisa Matsushita’s “ANIMAL” bud vases line the back wall.

At the intimate reception, friends and collectors (Michael Govan, Brad and Cassandra Grey, even Kim and Kanye) feasted their eyes on peanut M&M’s, Hershey’s chocolate kisses and gooey magnified grilled cheese sandwiches. It took the Grammy winner two years to complete the show in her Bel Air home studio. “I love the abstract expressionists of the 1950s,” says Bayer Sager, who takes inspiration from the work of Jackson Pollock and Gerhard Richter. williamturnergallery.com; carolebayersager.com.

I
love to forage for what we call ‘wreath fodder.’ Twisted branches of dead manzanita, mosses, feathers and leaves,” says Alethea Harampolis, one half of the duo behind San Francisco’s floral design company Studio Choo. Known for The Flower Recipe Book, an easy how-to guide to cutting and arranging fresh stems, Harampolis and partner Jill Rizzo’s second act, The Wreath Recipe Book (Artisan Books, $24.95), was o only nly a matter of time. “We decided to use the same step-by-step format to show how to make wreaths, garlands, table settings, package toppers and wall hangings, which we love,” explains Rizzo. Divided into seasons, the photo-rich tome offers instruction on year-round decor, from autumnal persimmon centerpieces to summery blackberry garlands and eucalyptus place settings and wreaths (a favorite of Harampolis, as they remind her of her grandparents’ native Australia). And the book isn’t the only insight the duo is offering on DIY floral decor this season: Currently, Harampolis and Rizzo are also teaching wreath-making classes at Heath Ceramics in San Francisco. Says Rizzo, “It’s funny because people think wreaths are more difficult, but they’re actually much more forgiving than cut flower arrangements—and they’re a beautiful way to bring the outdoors into your home in any season.” 339 Baden Ave., S.F., 650-634-0836; studiochoo.com.

on anniversaire to Le Pliage handbag from French luxury brand Longchamp. Since its creation 20 years ago, more than 30 million ultralight nylon canvas totes have sold worldwide—that’s about 10 bags per minute. Le Pliage was designed by Philippe Cassegrain, the son of Longchamp’s original founder, after he traveled to Japan and became fascinated with the art form of origami. Like the beautiful and intricately designed paper sculptures, each Le Pliage bag is handcrafted and can be folded into the size of a small book without creasing. It’s ideal for Californians who prefer their accoutrements light and seamless—not to mention providing a chic solution to the state’s plastic-bag ban. To celebrate this special birthday, Longchamp has teamed up with British artist Sarah Morris to create a colorful limited-edition leather shopper, inspired by her Rio series of paintings. Each piece is signed and depicts her abstract take on architectural motifs, signs or urban vistas. Morris was taken by the universal success of Le Pliage: “You see it everywhere,” she says, “in every country, worn and used by all kinds of people who have absolutely nothing in common apart from this bag.” Longchamp, South Coast Plaza, 714-436-1963; longchamp.com.

sk Alessandra Facchinetti if she’s found “the one,” and she answers with the confidence of a woman who has had her share of high-profile relationships: “I believe it,” she says on the phone from her office in Milan. “Totally.” We’re not talking about romantic partners, but rather business ones—she was recently named creative director of women’s collections at Tod’s, the Italian luxury group synonymous with tony Euro-prep driving loafers. The post is just the latest impressive appointment for Facchinetti, who took over for Tom Ford at Gucci in 2004 and replaced Valentino Garavani at Valentino in 2008 (she also counts Miuccia Prada as a mentor). This time she’s charting less sacrosanct territory, following Derek Lam, who inaugurated a women’s line for the company from 2006 to 2012. “Of course the DNA of the accessories line is very strong,” she says. “But the ready-to-wear wasn’t there. The shoes had a more masculine approach—something that I like a lot—but the ‘light’ side of the Tod’s woman was missing.” Applying a couturier’s touch to utilitarian separates (as seen in her latest Spring 2015 collection, which features muted leather tank dresses blanketed in laser cuts and floral inlays), Facchinetti has infused the label with her modern take on sporty ladylike, adding details that also pay homage to her academic background. (She studied sculpture and architecture before attending fashion school at Milan’s Istituto Marangoni.) Translating existential artist Paolo Scheggi’s graphic artwork has been a recurring theme, and Scheggi’s widow and daughter are so enthralled with the results, they wrote Facchinetti a CONTINUED ON PAGE 140

Strange Invisible Perfumes presents a redesigned boutique as thoughtful as its fragrances
Alexandra Balahoutis opened her first botanical fragrance boutique, Strange Invisible Perfumes, in a bungalow on Abbot Kinney Boulevard back in 2003 for one simple reason: “[It’s] where I wanted to spend my days,” she says. “Back then, there were practically tumbleweeds floating down the street, but we always managed to attract the right customer.” There’s no denying that Venice’s famed thoroughfare has elevated its status in the past decade, and Strange Invisible’s 700-square-foot shop has evolved with it. With help from Mark Rose Interiors, Balahoutis EDITED BY JENNY MURRAY
reimagined the space as a modern boudoir with a sophisticated, textural mix of marble, velvet, bronze and crystal accents. Highlights include brass and clay tiles from India and a Parisian chandelier, c. early 1900s. “Our aesthetic has evolved dramatically but gradually over time. It took a while to distill its elements into something slightly less decorative, but still rich with detail,” she explains. “The fragrances are all made with such precious raw materials, so the boutique had to be as well.” 1138 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, 310-314-1505; siperfumes.com.

KNOWN FOR HIS ALL-AMERICAN INTERIORS, TASTEMAKER MARK D. SIKES REVEALS A FEW OF HIS TRADE SECRETS
Sikes’ living room reflects an easy elegance where old mixes with new using classic pieces such as a gilt console table from J.F. Chen, a garden stool from John Rosselli, a Hickory Chair slipper chair and a vintage Ralph Lauren wicker armchair.
FROM ABOVE Gracie hand-painted Chinese scenic panel wallpaper. O’Sullivan Antiques Chinese garden seat from 1stdibs. Bielecky Brothers wicker lounge chair.
What are your design staples? Antique blue-and-white ceramics, Merida Abaca natural-fiber rugs, Gracie handpainted wallpaper, stacks and stacks of books and an eclectic mix of art. What’s your weakness? Fabrics! There are so many I love, but I’m still searching for the perfect blue-and-white stripe. Favorite paint color? Farrow & Ball colors in general: “Pointing” is a great white, “Skylight” is the perfect blue, and my new favorite is “Churlish Green.” Ideal chair shape? A Billy Baldwin chair—every room needs one. I also love a Bielecky Brothers wicker lounge chair. Preferred room scent? Santa Maria Novella. Go-to china pattern? Transatlantica by Vista Alegre from Portugal. Where do you stand on houseplants? A myrtle topiary in an old terracotta pot makes me very happy. What’s on your Thanksgiving table? My grandmother’s gold-rimmed china; antique white embroidered linens from Les Puces in Paris; piles and piles of white gourds running down the center of the table and endless candles. Since Hollywood Hills is home, what’s your favorite escape? My partner, Michael Griffin, and I have a few—on the weekends, the Sunset Tower pool a few blocks from our house. During the middle of the week, a cottage at the Biltmore in Santa Barbara is still a favorite. Our French bulldog, Lily, loves it there, too! markdsikes.com.

HOME Quiet Corners With the continued trend of open floor plans and wide-open spaces, cozy nooks are something of a luxury. Architect Lewin Wertheimer first became enamored with alcoves growing up in Spain. “What I loved most about those Spanish farmhouses was their informality,” he recalls. “All those intimate spaces in a home where a nook could become a bedroom, where people carved out rooms in unusual and creative ways.” Today the Venicebased architect often includes secluded rooms in his projects, and is able to turn the smallest of spaces into inviting retreats for napping and reading with the children before bedtime, or escaping for a few quiet moments of reflection. wertheimerarchitect.com. architect.com

The sky’s the limit for chef Roy Choi with the arrival of Commissary on the roof of Koreatown’s The Line Hotel The greenhouse-inspired Commissary was designed by landscape architect Sean Knibb.

I
had a dream about a tennis club where everybody was twerking,” explains chef Roy Choi of the genesis of Commissary, his restaurant on the rooftop of Koreatown’s The Line Hotel, and the latest gem in the crown of his culinary empire. A pioneer of the food-truck movement with his iconic Korean-taco-slinging Kogi, Choi is no stranger to inventive dining concepts. Commissary breaks new ground as the L.A. native’s first produce-centric establishment, featuring riffs on fresh ingredients from corn to bok choy, with a few meat- and fish-based dishes (think veal, black bass) thrown in for good measure. “It makes plant-based food fun and approachable,” says Choi, who is also the driving force behind local restaurants including A-Frame, Sunny Spot and The Line Hotel’s debut eatery, Pot. Mixologist Matthew Biancaniello contributes his talents, with fruit-and-veggie-driven cocktails to complement the seasonal fare, including the popular Pimp’s Cup—his version of a Pimm’s Cup. “Commissary is in a greenhouse next to a pool with pingpong tables and lounge chairs on a mezzanine above Wilshire Boulevard,” says Choi, who stars in CNN’s L.A.-based Web series, “Street Food With Roy Choi.” “It just makes you feel good.” 3515 Wilshire Blvd., L.A., 213-368-3030; eatatpot.com.

f you’ve spent time at Bouchon of late, then you’ve likely crossed paths with Thomas Marini, the maître d’ at Thomas Keller’s power-dining destination in Beverly Hills. A native of Grasse, France, Marini trained at Keller’s Per Se in New York, The French Laundry in Napa Valley, and Bouchon in Las Vegas before becoming the go-to man at the iconic chef’s Los Angeles outpost, which celebrates its fifth anniversary this month. “Some people may not realize that by definition, a bistro is about community and comfort—welcoming friends to dinner for simple and familiar dishes. So the idea of being welcomed by someone like Thomas [Marini] who has the passion, instincts and that innate sense of service in our ‘home’ was very important to us,” says Keller, who’s having a banner year with the 20th anniversary of The French Laundry, and 10 years of Per Se and Bouchon in Las Vegas. “He is very soulful and all
about customer service and serving the guest. He has an innate sense of hospitality and making people feel comfortable no matter who or what dining scenario,” is how Keller describes Marini, whom he and partner Laura Cunningham first encountered at Stella Mare’s in Santa Barbara. “Thomas [Marini] has the essence of old-school, European serviceability and charm,” adds Cunningham. As for the secret to landing a coveted seat at the bustling bistro through the man in charge? “There is always a way if you are flexible, like the amazing zinc bar upstairs. Or a hidden high cocktail table off the bar is actually so much fun to eat the full dinner menu. Or we can sometimes add onto the terrace as a nice alternative,” says Marini. “I always encourage people to come in and see me and I will find a way.” 235 N.

TRAVEL Desert Rose Rancho Mirage gets glam with the reopening of its Ritz-Carlton
Back in 1988, when Palm Springs was known for raucous spring breaks and its mayoral candidate Sonny Bono, The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage opened the area’s first luxury resort. In ensuing years, the property changed owners and management a couple of times before it closed for reinvention. After a stop-and-go process that ground to a halt in the ’08 recession, it’s back in full splendor, and it was worth the wait. The 244-room bluff-top retreat fills a luxury gap in the area’s thriving scene. Yes, the property has the requisite palm-lined pools and native gardens, but what sets it apart are the impressive views, the Desert Sanctuary (a spa with 15 indoor/outdoor treatment rooms) and its restaurants including State Fare Bar & Kitchen, which serves local ingredients in true California-artisanal style. The room to book: a ground-floor terrace suite with a private fire pit. From $379/night. 68900 Frank Sinatra Dr., Rancho Mirage, 760-321-8282; ritzcarlton.com.

I
n the heart of Tuscany lies Montaione, an ancient Florentine village that was rendered a ghost town in the 1960s, when denizens ditched their agricultural roots in favor of nearby Florence’s glitz and glamour. Its 800-year-old castle, rural tobacco fields and charming farmhouses were all but left to gather dust—until 2007, when TUI, Europe’s leading travel company—along with Italian architects—decided to undertake a massive $350 million renovation tto o restore this historic country escape to its former glory. The resulting “lifestyle” estate, Toscana Resort Castelfalfi, offers visitors an authentic dolce vita experience. (Existing buildings are being refurbished rather than torn down, and less than 1 percent of the 2,700-acre property is being developed.) Rent or purchase, for example, one of 18 thoughtfully restored casalis (farmhouses) surrounded by sun-drenched fields, fete a wedding at the newly redesigned medieval castle in the town’s center or dine on gourmet pasta at La Rocca di Castelfalfi restaurant, run by Michele Rinaldi (formerly of Michelin-starred All’Acquacotta Restaurant at Terme di Saturnia Spa & Golf Resort). The once-sleepy tobacco factory has been converted into a modern boutique hotel, named La Tabaccaia, complete with a tennis court, swimming pool and 27-hole golf course, while residential apartments, artisanal shops, bars and a wood-burning pizzeria have regenerated inside the Borgo—with more hotels opening starting in 2016. Interested in exploring more traditional Tuscan pastimes? At the Casale Falecine lodge, which dates back to 1890, you can hunt game (including wild boar, pheasants, partridges and quail) or forage the 1,482-acre grounds for truffles. Think of it as travel, upcycled. castelfalfi.co.uk.

FASHION EDITOR: ERIN WALSH
It’s almost impossible to talk about Sarah Jessica Parker without mentioning New York City in the same breath. The actress is so woven into—and some may say responsible for—the fiber of modern Manhattan that when she recently found a $4,700 check on the street, a local blog joked, “It was likely presented to her by a Manhattan sidewalk for miscellaneous favors and services rendered, such as stiletto-hype consulting and a 4 percent cut of all Cosmopolitans sold after 1998.” (A die-hard good Samaritan, Parker took it upon herself to personally track down its intended payee.) On nearly a daily basis, the megastarturned-founder of new accessories collection SJP is snapped by paparazzi near her West Village home, where she lives with husband of 17 years, Matthew Broderick, their son, James Wilkie, 12, and twin daughters Loretta and Tabitha, 5—walking her children to school, running errands or recovering the occasional lost funds. Most often, she’s dressed in a version of her no-nonsense working mom uniform: cropped jeans or cargo pants, an oversized sweater and fashion sneakers. And yet Parker can’t help but wonder whether her unofficial status as No. 1 New Yorker would have come to being had she not starred in a movie about Los Angeles. “If it hadn’t been for L.A. Story, I probably never would have been cast in ‘Sex and the City,’” Parker says, referring to the 1991 “half double decaffeinated half-caf” satire in which she appeared as Steve Martin’s freespirited love interest. “Because before that I’d always played the cerebral best friend of the pretty lead. It was the first time I’d ever played the woman a man had lustful feelings for. In many ways, L.A. Story changed the course of my career.” Parker, 49, never committed much time offscreen to the West Coast (“New York is where I feel most like myself,” she says) but there were stints. While shooting the 1982 television series “Square Pegs,” she attended Hollywood High School “maybe for two days,” she says. Nearly a decade later, she and Broderick, both in town for work and just having begun to date, would save up for once-in-a-blue-moon dinners at exclusive Brentwood trattoria Toscana. Now, with her multi-hyphenate career and active family life on the East Coast, Parker’s more likely to make a vacation out of it and visit friends like “SATC” writer-director Michael Patrick King
or co-star Kristin Davis (with whom she’s electrified the Twitterverse by exchanging cryptic tweets about a possible SATC 3 film). “A lot of New Yorkers have an us-versus-them mentality toward Los Angeles, but I have very friendly feelings about the city,” Parker says with her signature graciousness. “Los Angeles always felt like a place someone kindly had brought me to work. I stayed because I ended up getting jobs, but in the end I was a journeyman actor.” She may be a global icon, but Parker has never abandoned the hardscrabble work ethic that was instilled in her as one of eight siblings growing up in a modest Midwestern household. (The family lived in Ohio prior to moving to New York when she was 11.) Since snagging the lead in the Broadway production of Annie at age 13, Parker consistently booked gigs through the ’80s and ’90s (from “3-2-1 Contact” and Footloose to Honeymoon in Vegas, “The Larry Sanders Show” and The First Wives Club) before skyrocketing to worldwide fame with “Sex and the City” in 1998. Though she’s still acting after the series’ end, Parker’s post-“SATC” chapter is best defined by her extracurricular activities. She is a tireless philanthropist (Parker is the vice chair on the board of the New York City Ballet and serves on the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities), and has dived head first into the business of fashion. SJP, her latest passion project, is a collection of accessible and stylish shoes and bags that she launched in February with business partner George Malkemus, the CEO of Manolo Blahnik. Spring 2015 will be its third season. “I think it’s what people expected of me most because of Carrie Bradshaw,” Parker says with her characteristic self-awareness. CONTINUED ON PAGE 140

This morning, the CFDA-nominated (twice!) designer’s 7-year-old daughter Ruby (with husband, actor Tobey Maguire) is at home sick. “Before I left, she said, ‘Can you leave a little piece of you?’ I’m like, ‘What does that mean?’ But I knew what it meant—the turquoise necklace I made yesterday,” recounts Meyer, touching her Ruby “heart” Otis nameplate and turquoise bezel necklaces. “How could I say no?” Rewind to 2005, when she started feeling antsy while working in public relations at Ralph Lauren. “[Tobey] kept asking, ‘What is it you want to do?’ I said, ‘I’m sort of embarrassed to say…I want to try to design jewelry.’ There was a Star Wars quote he used: ‘Do. Or do not. There is no try.’” What happened next is something of a fairy tale: Meyer showed her very first samples of a leaf pendant necklace, leaf earrings and a cigar band to stylists pulling at Ralph Lauren for a Jennifer Aniston movie. They took them to the actress. And in 2006, The BreakUp was her big break. Since then, the leaf has been a constant, but Meyer, 37, has also become known for simple yet elegant 18-karat-gold layering pieces meant to be worn from morning to night which “become a part of you,” she says. Her nameplate and word necklaces, wishbone charm and diamond pavé initial pendants are fan favorites, as are her cuffs featuring lapis, opal or turquoise inlay, and frequently diamonds. Since Meyer doesn’t design for seasons, her process is fluid—pieces can take three months to a year from conception to production, which is all done by hand in L.A. Several years ago she graduated from working on her living-room floor to a modern, airy studio nestled on a tree-lined West L.A. street where “there are weeks where there’s nothing and then all of a sudden I’ll go on a design tangent, like, ‘I need everything lapis!’” Every morning after dropping Ruby and Otis, 5, off at school, Meyer heads to the townhouse office where she’ll conceptualize designs and take meetings with stylists, buyers and clients. The daughter of NBCUniversal vice chairman Ron Meyer’s bejeweled journey traces back to when she was a little girl in her grandmother’s kitchen surrounded by colored powders and a kiln, learning how to make enamel jewelry. “[My grandma] was the real artist in our family and that’s where I caught the bug,” she says. The L.A. native has had plenty of “oh my god” moments as a young designer, from Jennifer Lawrence wearing pieces to the SAG Awards to Aniston’s frequent support and street-style stars sporting her work. But her biggest fan might be the person she thinks of when we step out of her studio for a coffee and she spots a bear in the foam. “This will cheer up my daughter,” she says, snapping a photo. jennifermeyer.com. —Kathryn Romeyn

HOORSENBUHS “I wake up excited,” says jewelry designer Robert Keith, as he arranges a selection of 18-karat yellow, rose and white gold clasps inspired by vintage locks on a table in his Santa Monica atelier. “Every day I think, what’s going to happen?” It’s a valid question: The origin story behind Keith’s cult line, Hoorsenbuhs, is filled with left-field occurrences, from meeting his longtime friend, now brand ambassador, Kether Parker at a photo shoot at Topanga Beach in the late ’80s, to landing a collaboration with artist Damien Hirst last year after the British icon popped into Keith’s showroom and studio one afternoon. Keith returned from lunch to find Hirst ordering an assortment of open-link chain necklaces. He said, “What’s up! Fuck the po’lice! Look what I got!” he remembers. “It was an instant love affair,” adds Parker.
The Hoorsenbuhs atelier sits on Main Street, an elevated, bunker-shaped dark wood bungalow marked with a gold plaque that stands in direct contrast to its environs: the beachy bohemian sprawl where modern skateboarding was born. The juxtaposition sums up the ethos of the brand—named for a 16th-century Dutch merchant ship sailed by some of Keith’s ancestors—a finejewelry label founded in 2005 by a former fashion photographer whose counterculture loyalties run deep. From Keith’s debut design, a ring modeled on the stud links of a nautical chain (a motif he unearthed in an archival family photograph, and one that echoes in every piece), the simple-with-an-edge aesthetic resonated, yielding a celebrity following that includes Mary-Kate Olsen, Rihanna, Kristen Stewart and Kanye West. Keith has since collaborated with the everyone from Jay-Z to De Beers’ responsibly sourced diamond brand, Forevermark; he’s currently eyeing a stand-alone boutique in Tokyo, and a capsule collection with Hirst is ongoing—a brooch modeled on the 2008 skeletal sculpture Cupid’s Lie and a Swiss-movement watch are in the works. In September, Keith introduced a new accessories and men’s apparel lifestyle collection called Leisure and Luxury, which is steered by Director of Product Development Karl Lindner and Director of Brand Management Gentry Dayton, and features highend casual basics (think: tailored sweatshirts finished with gold zippers), Italian-manufactured leather backpacks and sneakers produced with Jon Buscemi. Keith has long-term ambitions for a women’s line, but in a needs-must move, editors from Elle and Vogue have been snapping up the separates in XS sizes, including the waffle-knit black-and-white long johns, which are lined so that they can be worn on their own. As with everything Keith touches, they’re a study in classy-meets-punk: “I love the idea of taking something that is made to be worn discreetly and putting it out front,” he says. hoorsenbuhs.com. — Melissa Goldstein

Irene Neuwirth Fun isn’t a typical word used in association with fine jewelry. On the list of common adjectives to describe an $8,000 tanzanite bracelet, special, graceful, even regal are predictable choices. But it would be impossible to write about Venicebased jeweler Irene Neuwirth and her unusual work without using it, or one of its semantic cousins like joyful, unpretentious and even delightful. “I like things to feel spontaneous,” laughs Neuwirth. “I decorated my house in 24 hours. I just threw things into place and I looked around and thought, ‘This looks alright.’ It just kind of stuck.” On a recent morning in her multilevel studio on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Neuwirth wears a pair of black platform oxfords, a black full skirt, a gray sweatshirt and a striking rose pendant made of carved opal surrounded by tiny diamonds. Her personal style is as free-spirited, unexpected and spot-ontrend as her work. For more than a decade, Neuwirth has designed striking pieces, like flame-orange carnelian drop earrings and bold
green chrysoprase necklaces with stones so large it’s hard to remember they’re real. Actress Busy Phillips and alt-rock harpist Joanna Newsom are some of Neuwirth’s closest friends and biggest supporters, and a loyal cadre of fans understands that just because something is precious doesn’t mean it must be serious, too. Since she launched her brand in 2003, she’s had much success at Barneys New York. This month, she unveils her new 1,800-square-foot Melrose Place store—designed by Pamela Shamshiri of Commune, with a dose of Neuwirth-approved quirky chic. Some of the more unexpected touches include a diorama created by multimedia artists Clare Crespo and Marine Panossian that features colorful birds made with materials including cashmere and snakeskin, and a long dining table for Neuwirth to host her famous dinner parties for loyal clients and friends. “We drink wine and talk about jewelry, and that way people feel more of a connection with the pieces they buy. I like to make it more personal,” she says, “and never too precious.” ireneneuwirth.com. —Christine Lennon

“All of a sudden I started drawing jewels, and they looked like nothing anybody was making—they looked medieval, with turrets and lace, like really refined, beautiful buried treasure,” says Cathy Waterman from the pink dragon-covered couch in her hidden-away studio on Los Angeles’ Westside of how she began designing jewelry some 25 years ago. Inspiration has never been a problem for the L.A. native, who feels compelled to make beautiful things not in the name of building a brand but for a personal connection: “It’s like this well that goes down to the bottom of the earth.” Her creations are influenced by everything from stories of the Byzantine era (she studied history before getting her law degree) to the ferocity of nature to the depths of her imagination. “I see jewels in my dreams—things that actually don’t exist. And then I make them appear,” says the fine jeweler, who works at a large hand-hammered iron desk surrounded by collections of curiosities that hold special meaning to her: carved wood, tramp art, Austrian art-nouveau pieces and photographs. The first thing Waterman ever made was a pair of 22-karat-gold tassel earrings with diamonds and tiny Japanese cultured pearls. “As a girl I rode horses and I always wore a cowboy jacket with fringe,” says the CFDA member, whose talismanic jewels are worn by First Lady Michelle Obama and Julia Louis-Dreyfus on “Veep.” Tassels and fringe became common themes, alongside signatures including thorns, lace and leaves. Her diamond-encrusted Love ring is iconic, and her engagement and wedding rings are imbued with much love as well. The self-described hippie has always used recycled metals and ethically sourced stones, but she’s just as likely to incorporate elements like fossilized pinecones, sand dollars or something she happens upon while walking in the forest. And though Waterman is constantly imagining and making jewelry, she wears little herself. Meaningful charms—a locket, a child engraved with her kids’ names and a juggler—hang around her neck on leather. The designer’s intricate, whimsical jewelry is clearly labeled at Barneys New York (its Manhattan store was the first to buy her entire collection in 1990), but it’s not necessary. Everything she creates is instantly identifiable thanks to her distinctive aesthetic, from the fourth-century sword–inspired flatware, handmade sterling-silver candle holders and yellow porcelain dinnerware in her home collection to the beautiful burl-wood salad bowls and wooden tables she recently started making. “I don’t have a lot of interest in repetition,” says Waterman. “But I like that [my work] is recognizable to people who don’t even know me. It’s about that gasp—it makes me really happy to take their breath away.” cathywaterman.com. —Kathryn Romeyn

PORTRAIT OF A
LADY
FROM HUSBANDS AND LOVERS TO DECORATING AND FASHION DISASTERS, THE INEFFABLE ANJELICA HUSTON LOOKS BACK ON A LIFE LED IN FULL By Dawn Moore THE ARCHED BROW. THE CRISP BANGS. And the look that suggests she knows something you don’t. Anjelica Huston’s exoticism has been captured by lensmen from Avedon to Newton and landed her in Vanity Fair’s celebrated International Best-Dressed List’s Hall of Fame. Leading up to this month’s release of Watch Me: A Memoir (Scribner, $28), Huston’s follow-up to last year’s A Story Lately Told: Coming of Age in Ireland, London, and New York (Scribner, $25), the Oscar-winning actress shares thoughts on everything from the “daddy complex,” becoming a potter and her security blanket, “Pinky.”
I think positive. I sent it to him because I figured if he had something in particular he wanted taken out or something he was uncomfortable with, he should have that opportunity. I haven’t talked to him at length, but we had a few laughs at a party this summer and he said, “good work.” I think he takes it all with good grace.

How difficult was it to go back over parts of your life you thought were finished? Well, I still entertain thoughts and memories of my parents every day. I feel it’s all a big wave, a big motion that takes a lot of stuff with it. Life is an immense canvas. The sad stuff should move you and the good stuff should entertain you. What was the most surprising thing you learned about
yourself in the process? Before I wrote the book I thought the cliché of girls looking to marry men like their fathers was rather obvious, but looking back at my choices over the years, I think it’s very evident that “daddy” was a big part of my passion and my search. Your first memoir, A Story Lately Told, ended with your move to New York, and Watch Me begins with your arrival in Los Angeles and the party that launched the “It” couple of the 1970s—you and Jack Nicholson. What was his reaction to the manuscript?
So, he’s still talking to you? Yeah, that’s good enough! You’ve said that you think you were looking to reincarnate your father— and your mother—in your relationships. What in your late husband, sculptor Robert Graham, fulfilled that quest? Oh yes! I think I’m always looking for my mother, too. Bob was kind of a wonderful combination of both in that he had an almost feminine sensibility for beauty and art and he was very intuitive. Very emotionally perceptive, very loyal—like
Huston in the Venice home her late husband, sculptor Robert Graham, designed.

my mother. And like both of them, he was a reader, he was provocative and, above all, creative. And he had the finest pair of hands you’ve ever seen. Beautiful small café au lait hands, the prettiest fingers. I would say perfect hands…I love hands. Given that all the men in your life were singular, roguish aesthetes, it would be almost impossible to not lose your sense of self. Yet you are a woman of tremendous individuality. Was acting a way to carve your own path? Oh yes, it was. Also, I am extremely stubborn. I mean more stubborn than anyone has a right to be. I know it made my father crazy. I’m like a mule, you know? If I hadn’t been as stubborn as I am, I could have easily subsumed into any one of those characters. And I did for a while. Certainly when I was with [photographer and ex-lover] Bob Richardson, I began to fear I was becoming his puppet. And I never wanted to be anyone’s puppet.
would make me laugh? A sort of salmon-colored suit that I had made for the Carousel of Hope Ball. I have never chosen this color in my life, except that it matched this very beautiful coral necklace by Marta Marzotto that I have. I chose the color because of the necklace, but I mean…I had no idea…I kinda looked like I was going to the Kentucky Derby! What’s the first thing you put in your suitcase and the first thing you unpack when you’re traveling? Pinky. Pinky is my cashmere blankie and she comes with me on the plane. She’s kind of a ratty cashmere shawl, halfway between shawl and blanket. You know on planes, you can put her over your head or wrap her around your throat or across your lap. There was Pinky One and she got lost, so now I have Pinky Two, but she has the same basic beauty.

Sounds like you might want to? Yes, I might want to. That could be something! All in all I like sort of plantation homes with wide terraces surrounding the house—kind of British Colonial. I am actually pretty conventional. I don’t know where, but I think I’d like a house with a view. What dreams have you yet to accomplish? I’ve always liked to draw, and I’ve never had formal training. I don’t know if I have the patience for it. Maybe get into pottery

HEN LORI LEHMAN FIRST moved from a singlefamily home in Palo Alto to a two-bedroom condominium in a luxury high-rise building in San Francisco’s SoMa District, she only brought three things with her: a chair, a bench and a whole lot of Champagne. “The place was completely empty, and I wanted to start all over,” says Lehman, Vice President of project and portfolio management at Gilead Sciences Inc. “I gave each of my kids their bedroom furniture, and they each took some living-room furniture, and the neighborhood took the rest. It was really fun to start all new.” But Lehman also had a tight six-month deadline. She wanted the 1,950-square-foot space to be move-in-ready for the holidays (and visits from her parents and two daughters, ages 24 and 21). To help, Lehman hired local interior designer Grant K. Gibson, who had previously designed a private residence for her boss. “I didn’t want it to be a showpiece…I wanted it to be something comfortable with clean lines, so that we could entertain and have dinner parties with friends, or curl up and look at the view,” says Lehman. And Gibson—whose classic and timeless projects in places such as New York, Los Angeles and Marin County have appeared in the pages of magazines including Elle Décor and House Beautiful—was up for the task. “We didn’t have time to overthink and second-guess things and obsess about details, so we just went with our gut,” says Gibson, who sourced finds from a vintage glass teardrop chandelier from 1stdibs.com, for a hint of sparkle in the foyer, to rugs procured from his own travels to Morocco. “She didn’t need a big house anymore and she had a brand-new start with her city lifestyle, and it was really refreshing for me to design a space that totally reflects her. It’s happy with touches of femininity, but it’s not overly girly.” To reach the preholiday finish line (Lehman’s goal was “to get enough furniture in to have someplace for everyone to sit”) the design strategy was to start with all of the furniture first, followed by the artwork. Gibson created a meticulous, layered and textured look that wouldn’t compete with the jaw-dropping views of the city and bay. In the living room, he paired a jute rug by Stark Carpet, topped with a Moroccan rug, with a custom sofa in soft gray, teal nesting tables and a caramel-hued tufted-leather ottoman, while the dining room is replete with a round table with saber legs, creme upholstered chairs and an industrial-style “Branching” chandelier by Lindsey Adelman.

A graphic painting by Sally King Benedict hangs above an upholstered light-blue headboard with nailhead trim and crisp white linens with blue trim from Sue Fisher King. “Luckily, everything was perfectly done in time for the holidays, from every flower to each throw and candleholder,” says Gibson, who often stops by to create artful flower arrangements for Lehman’s frequent dinner parties. “It’s like a breath of fresh air every time I walk in there, and it was like a dream come true because she placed the utmost faith and trust in us to make it all happen.” Now, a year later, Lehman confesses she still wouldn’t change a thing, from the furniture to the artwork and light fixtures: “It’s so comfortable and my daughters love it, and now call it home too. Some of my friends ask me, ‘Do you regret moving to the city?’ And I say, ‘Not for a second.’” •

She’s delivered three Tod’s collections thus far, including a Fall 2014 show filled with sculptural patent-leather skirt suits and described by New York Times critic Suzy Menkes as “a Céline moment in Milan,” and the industry’s reception to each has been inflected with the optimistic resolution of a Champagne toast at a wedding: With Facchinetti, Tod’s has brokered an ideal union. Of course she doesn’t have time for a victory lap—there’s barely time for a plate of her favorite meatballs at preferred neighborhood haunt La Latteria. Having wrapped her Spring 2015 presentation in Milan, she is about to embark on a research trip that will take her though London, Paris and later Los Angeles, where she will explore museums, bookstores, markets and vintage clothing shops with her team in pursuit of “the instinct of the moment” for her Fall 2015 collection. “There’s no rest—just the usual fashion drama,” she says with a laugh. “But this is the best moment.” 333 N.

What they might not expect, however, is that an in-demand celebrity like herself would be so hands-on from the design process through manufacturing decisions, even kneeling on the floor in the shoe department of a Seattle Nordstrom fitting shoes to a woman’s feet, as she was during a recent nationwide tour that introduced the collection to clients. “One of the great rewards is meeting the customers,” she says earnestly. Parker also is canny enough to know she’s her own best advertisement, and so when she hits the red carpet for events like New York Fashion Week or the annual New York City Ballet fall gala, morphing from off-duty mommy to high-fashion superhero in adventurous, graphic dresses from designers like Mary Katrantzou and Prabal Gurung, she’ll accessorize her look with a knee-high laser-cut boot or perfect pointed-toe pump from the SJP collection (always hiking up the hem of her skirt, if necessary, so the photographers can get the shoe). On top of that, Parker mans the label’s Instagram account (@sjpcollection), as well as her own (sarahjessicaparker); A recent post on her personal account showed her lining up nearly a dozen colorful SJP T-strap stilettos (called the Carrie) on the stoop outside the Perry Street apartment where her character lived. “It was take your shoes to work day,” Parker wrote cheekily in the caption.

California CAPTURING THE GOLDEN STATE OF MIND
STORY BYLINE
LAUREN BACALL AND HUMPHREY BOGART, 1945 Hollywood lovebirds Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart were as magical on screen as they were off. Nowhere was the couple’s chemistry more palpable than in the film To Have and Have Not (1944), during which their romance began to blossom—despite a 25-year age difference. Bacall also delivered one of cinema’s most famous lines when she instructs Bogart’s character how to whistle: “You just put your lips together and blow.” The pair married a year later, and went on to star in three more films together, but their first was undoubtedly the most memorable. Bogie immortalized the scene by presenting his soon-to-be wife with a delicate gold bracelet with a whistle, which Bacall buried with the actor when he passed in 1957. A charmed life, indeed.
