Top skincare secrets?
I always scrub my face with a washcloth and moisturize every day in the morning and at night. When I travel, I bring Maré Água de Coco Hydrating Elixir to hydrate my face. For sunscreen, I like Neutrogena sunblock spray SPF-30 and Peter Thomas Roth mineral powder sunblock brush. Which products do you use religiously?

Meet LOKO, a video-only dating app that intends to eschew that whole awkward first-date thing by inviting people to video chat before they actually meet. Co-founded by comedian Norm MacDonald and Vivek Jain, the product is centered around an eight-second video intro that you record about yourself. Once potential dates respond, your first date happens over video on the app, and if all goes well, you will arrange an in-person meeting within 24 hours. lokoforlove.com

shark attack SOUNDS
Montauk or bust! Ben Watts and The Flower Shop brought the annual Shark Attack Sounds to the Montauk Lake House. In addition to taking in the sunset and posing with a rather alivelooking shark sculpture, guests like Cintia Dicker and Cuba Gooding Jr. also showed off their summer moves.
FITNESS FIX!
With Tracy Anderson, who has just released a capsule collection with Barneys New York How did you connect with Barneys?
My chief communications officer, Steven Beltrani, took a meeting with Barneys CEO Daniella Vitale about a year ago regarding a potential collaboration. After they met, I reviewed a few different concepts and agreed that an activewear collection was the perfect project between our two brands. The rest, including many design meetings later, is history! Your members have been asking for this thing for ages. What inspired you to put the collection together at this point?
I love my audience, but they look to me for a specific purpose in their life and I take that responsibility very seriously. While I am flattered that they ask me for a lot of things, I never make moves off of that reason. I suppose it’s like being a responsible parent. I hear my kids, but if they ask for candy multiple times a day, or for a four-wheeler when they are 3 years old, it might not be the right thing at the right time. The quality of the Barneys brand coupled with the fact that they could produce the collection in L.A., and were willing to represent me and my brand properly, made the timing feel just right!
OVERDUE CATCH-UP!
How many styles does it include, and what are the key silhouettes?
Kelly, we love your pottery!
The colors are a combination of things. I love the pro sports team vibes of shiny navy and white, or burnt orange and cream. The most meaningful combination to me is the patriotic part of the red, white, and blue and the spirit of how I feel we need to think more like a healthy team. The leggings and sports bras are made from a stretch jersey, and the sweats and tees are made from 100 percent cotton.
How do you and Anthony [Thomas Melillo] know each other?
When I first started shooting pictures, probably 25 years ago, he was working for GQ and he hired me as a photographer. I’d never met him before, but I knew this guy was going to be in my life forever. He’s been supportive of my pottery, and I’m supportive of what he’s doing here. It’s a great friendship. What are you most looking forward to this summer?
When you live away from here, you really appreciate how beautiful and special it is. There really aren’t that many places in the world as gorgeous as this. I’m enjoying every second of my three months here, because it goes by so fast!
SERUM INNOVATION!
It’s not exactly a secret that your Daily Summer loves a serum, and we’re especially obsessed with this new trio of high-performance boosters from 111SKIN, the cutting-edge skincare line from Harley Street cosmetic surgeon Dr. Yannis Alexandrides. The CRYO ATP sports booster is full of natural cellular energy that encourages more oxygen in the name of optimized cell function, visibly reducing large pores. The NAC Y2 pollution defense booster strengthens your complexion while protecting against artificial visible light, emitted by screens. And the Rose Gold Radiance Booster contains 24K gold, which amplifies radiance and creates seriously lasting luminosity. $160 each, net-a-porter.com
ESSENTIAL SWIMWEAR INTEL!
You love Eres, and you love tie-dye, which means that a trip to the brand’s boutique in East Hampton is essential. Eres has dreamed up a limited-edition capsule collection of tie-dye pieces— handmade in France, of course—that are only available for purchase in select Eres boutiques worldwide. Our favorite suit? The Show top ($270) and the Cavale bottom ($215). Scoop them up before they’re gone! 55 Main Street, East Hampton News Quiz! Who is Marc Lotenberg? A. A Pulitzer Prize–winning New Yorker columnist B.

Thanks! I hand-build these pieces all year when I’m in Palm Beach—I live there full time now with my son. I took up pottery maybe two and a half years ago as something to do down in Florida. It’s the first time I’ve ever done pottery in my life. Everything is hand-built, and I’m really loving it. It’s available only at ATM’s East Hampton store. I kept ATM’s concept of fashion in mind—it’s very minimal.
What kinds of fabrics and finishes did you use to ensure that each piece is as functional as it is fashionable?
ANSWER: B
With newly minted ceramicist Kelly Klein
This collection is my largest one yet with a luxury retailer. It includes 15 styles available at select Barneys New York stores and barneys.com, and consists of tops, bottoms, knits, and body suits.

SUMMER READING MUSTS! Curated by Grace Atwood and Becca Freeman, hosts of the addictive podcast Bad on Paper The MOTHER-IN-LAW, by Sally Hepworth: Ever felt at odds with your own mother-in-law?

A SKY PAINTED GOLD, by Laura Wood: 17-year-old Lou spends a life-changing summer in a sleepy seaside English village in the ’20, where she befriends a pair of glamorous socialite siblings. THE SEASONAIRES, by Janna King: This fast-paced YA novel is set in Nantucket, and it’s about fashion influencers! It opens with a murder on July 4th, and flashes back to summer’s start. You won’t be able to put it down.

TAKE A SIP!
Ditch the LBD: Summer weddings are a great opportunity to play around with bold prints and colors. I’m loving our new Printed Kieran Dress (below). It’s so vibrant, and it drapes beautifully. Check the Forecast: The weather can impact your outfit, so if you’re attending a sunny daytime wedding, bring sunglasses or sport a nice wide-brim hat. Headed to a nighttime wedding? Bring a light jacket or scarf, in case it gets chilly. Hue Homework: Try to find out the bridal party’s color palette ahead of time, so you don’t match. And, of course, never wear white, unless it’s specifically requested by the bride. Beach Wedding Essentials: Choose a light, airy fabric. Outfits with movement are a great choice! Pair your look with layered jewelry and sandals, or even possibly go barefoot for the ceremony. Choose Savvy Shoes: Wear a nice wedge or block heel to an outdoor wedding. It gives you the height you’re looking for, while still allowing you to walk comfortably in the grass or sand.

How To Dress for a Summer Wedding?

MAX MARA’s WOMEN IN FILM PARTY The chicest women in Hollywood gathered at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles to celebrate Elizabeth Debicki as the 2019 Women in Film Max Mara Face of the Future Award recipient. Hosted by Maria Giulia Maramotti, the brand’s vice president of U.S. retail and global brand ambassador, and Laura Brown, the editorin-chief of InStyle, this annual summer event has established itself as one of Tinseltown’s most highly anticipated fêtes. Best of all, it supports an important cause—Women in Film has been advocating for women, and advancing their careers in the screen industries, since it was founded in 1973.

Why was Elizabeth Debicki the right choice for the award this year? Elizabeth Debicki
Whenever we make a choice about an actress, it is based on the future. In Elizabeth’s case, we chose someone who is really cultural, and dives deep into every aspect of her job and the arts. That was one of the first things that really sparked our interest. On top of that, there are the theatrics of her style, which really relates strongly back to Max Mara. The event’s profile and impact grows every year. How has that evolution happened?
Hollywood has evolved so much, especially in the past couple of years. Truly, there were a lot of changes in terms of the sisterhood that was expressed within women in film. Actresses who have received the award in previous years, like Elizabeth Banks, Katie Holmes, and Chloë Grace Moretz, have really developed strong careers after the award. Building up such a track record for the prize itself was very important and relevant.
Chiara Ferragni
Max Mara has such a history of supporting women in the arts. Face of the Future Award aside, how does that play out in the company?
Olivia Wilde
Max Mara is a women-centric sort of brand—we choose to support women throughout the arts in different aspects. When it comes to fine art, we literally just awarded Hannah Rickards with the Max Mara Art Prize for Women. At the Institute of Contemporary Arts in Boston, we supported Huma Bhabha, who is a female sculptor in America. We are always supporting women-centric initiatives across the board. Tell us a little bit about your travel plans this summer.
I’ve been spending time in Italy, and I am going to be in Sardinia with my family. Then, we will be in Mykonos and Crete! You’re quite an accomplished sailor. Any upcoming excursions on the sea?
Yes, we will sail in Sardinia for a few days. It’s really a getaway for me—I’ve been quite busy for the past few months!

You have your hands in so many things. In addition to the business you’re helping to run, you have to be completely up to speed on the arts, culture, film, and television. How do you keep up with all of it?
Zoe Lister-Jones
It comes quite naturally, really. When I have a moment of freedom, I will check out an artwork that I am interested in or a museum I want to see. I go to art galleries; I am on the Board of Trustees of Ballroom Marfa; I read magazines and the art reviews in The New York Times; and I hear about things through word-of-mouth recommendations. Art, for me, is a real passion.

Virginie Viard, Karl Lagerfeld’s successor at Chanel, presented her first couture collection in Paris. The show was set in a grand library, but the collection itself was rather demure. Luxe tweeds, boxy silhouettes, and two-piece suits abounded, but with a carefully cultivated sense of ease and restraint. The future of Chanel is looking very bright, indeed.

Frederico Azevedo
On June 20th, landscape designer Frederico Azevedo celebrated the launch of his new book, Bloom: The Luminous Gardens of Frederico Azevedo, at Unlimited Earth Care in Bridgehampton. Azevedo’s book chronicles 26 years of his breathtaking work in the Hamptons, where he creates landscapes brimming with color and texture. “The whole idea is to make people excited about landscaping, color, and sustainability,” said Azevedo. “We want people who already love gardens to imagine more color, more textures, and more variety.” The event also served as the opening reception for a selection of new works from Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, presented by HG Contemporary, with sculptures displayed throughout the venue.

What were your summers like growing up?
They were such a big deal, because growing up in Denmark, almost two-thirds of the year it’s dark, so you get three months of sunlight after everybody has been hibernating. Danish summers are so unpredictable—it would be rainy or sunny, but if there was a sliver of sun, it doesn’t matter how cold or hot it was, people would be in T-shirts and shorts in parks barbecuing right away. If we were lucky enough to go on summer vacation, we would take a bus to Lake Como. There was camping around there. Italy was always a big vacation destination for me growing up. How often do you get back to Denmark to see your family?
I go about four times a year, and I take longer trips during the summer and at Christmas. I’m really lucky. Because I work in Europe, I usually get to stay a day or two and see them. I love Denmark! Last year, you became a face of Maybelline New York. How did that change things for you?
It has been so fun, because I’ve been the same character for so long. The modeling industry had seen me in a certain way and look. With Maybelline, I get to play and have fun. I become all these different characters. Every day, I show up, and I don’t know what we’re going to go through that day. It has been so much fun seeing how makeup can transform you. Maybelline is so conscious of the world and people around them. It’s been really fun to be part of a brand that is inclusive and understanding. I’m a part of the LGBT+ community myself, and they were the biggest supporter. They asked, “How can we collaborate? How can we support you and what you’re doing?” What’s your approach to modeling?
I think of modeling as a bit like still-life acting. I give myself a story every day. With Victoria’s Secret, I become the ’90s bombshell I wanted to be for so long. That’s not who I am at home, but it helps me be less shy in front of the camera. It’s almost like Beyoncé playing Sasha Fierce on stage. I am much more introverted, but at work I have learned to jump into it feet first and be like, “Here I am!” But I haven’t named my alter ago yet. [Laughs] What’s it like seeing photos of yourself in the makeup aisles of drugstores?
No matter how many times I see myself on a billboard or in a drugstore, the drugstore is almost weirder because that is your intimate everyday place. I find myself in CVS so often. I still have to pinch myself. I get texts from my friends saying they see me. It’s really cool. You’re also a Victoria’s Secret Angel. What’s your favorite memory of working with the brand?
Growing up, Victoria’s Secret was one of the few things I knew about [in the fashion world]. It was huge. There weren’t many models from my country who were Angels, with the exception of Helena Christensen. The second I found out modeling was in my cards, I knew I wanted to do it. I still pinch myself and think it’s a dream. I think the craziest thing was the first time I walked down that runway at the VS show with my wings. It just hit me when I walked off the stage, and all of a sudden I was crying. I had never cried from overwhelming happiness before, and it caught me so off guard. I didn’t even know it meant so much to me. The Angels have been so much about sisterhood. I have been given these 10 new friends I didn’t know before, who are all on the same journey. We have a group chat with 10 girls who just get it. I’ve never had sisters before, so they all have different tips and advice. What was it like working with Gilles Bensimon?
He’s amazing. Working with him gave me a glimpse
of the industry that I adored growing up. He brings out the beauty in you that’s raw and natural. He wraps the light around you. He’s super quick but also makes you so comfortable in front of a camera. And he throws out dad jokes all day. He breaks the ice really quickly! You and [model] Jasmine Tookes share an Instagram account that’s about all things fitness. How did that collaboration come together?
We have known each other since we both started doing shows, but we never really talked. When the Angel thing happened, we started hanging out, and she was super helpful with tips in the gym. One day after work, we were discussing how people think we’re born this way, and we wanted to show young girls that we don’t just look like this when we wake up in the morning. There’s a lot of work behind it. We actually eat! And we work out a lot. You’re a big LGBT+ advocate. Why is it so important to you?
I grew up as a rainbow kid with two parents who both identify as gay. Obviously, I’ve had my fair share of people who are confused by this and don’t understand. But I was really lucky to grow up in Copenhagen, which is a fairly open-minded place. It’s a city that was okay with gay. Then I came [to America] and I realized that it’s not that simple. There are so many different cultures. The more I traveled, the more I realized that some people didn’t accept this. But I think I did pretty good. I’m okay! I didn’t hear many kids’ voices [from the perspective of having gay parents], and I didn’t know how to not talk about it. I was the one in my family who dragged us to parades. I was the one who made a speech in my school. My favorite thing is meeting people who want to listen to my story; I really feel like I’ve made an impact. Even people from within the community, there have been so many people who come up to me and say how they never thought they’d want a kid because they didn’t want to put the pain that they went through on that kid. I realized I was [being an activist] equally as much for the community. I was speaking up for the kids, being like, “Hey, be proud!” I was sharing how lucky I was. What did you do for WorldPride last month?
I became a Stonewall Inn ambassador two years ago, and they asked me to come on stage at the rally and share my story. They were missing a voice like mine that speaks to kids in the community. I’m trying to claim the phrase “rainbow kid.” It’s a term from Europe, so you don’t hear it much over here. It’s beautiful. It’s not just something pretty to look at. We all belong under it, and anyone can believe that. There was so much love on that stage. Obviously the day of
Pride was just a party, which was so much fun. What are you doing for fun this summer?
My fiancé [musician Alexander DeLeon] and I are traveling, which is one of our biggest passions. I don’t know how to sit still anymore. The industry has ruined me. [Laughs] We’re going to Tonga to snorkel with humpbacks. Do you go to the Hamptons?
I have, but I usually go to my place in Nashville. I have a different circle of friends there. I have a house in a forest that is full of deer. The other day I jumped out of bed because a raccoon ran into the glass door and I was startled. But it was kind of cool. It’s a good contrast to the craziness of New York! When are you getting married?
We are finally starting to plan our wedding, which will be next summer. We decided we wanted to stay engaged for a second and just enjoy each other and that part of life. Now, we’re in the midst of figuring out the location. What kind of dress will you be wearing?
I am so lucky to have done all these red-carpet gown moments. How am I supposed to top a Met Ball gown? I know I want to wear white. I am debating on the veil, but I think it will make me feel like a bride. I am really struggling with this. [Laughs] You should see my Pinterest!

How did you first become interested in beauty? My mom was a beauty-school dropout! She was a single mother to me and my three older sisters, so she had to drop out to support us. She’d always encourage my older sisters to take up the craft. And while she had more of an interest in hairdressing, naturally I ran the other direction. It was not on my radar at all as a young child, but it was in the back of my mind. When did you first get involved in the industry? I went to Hunter College in Manhattan and was living in a dorm. Someone there had heard that Saks Fifth Avenue was hiring people to spray perfume, and they actually made a decent amount of money. I applied for a job at the perfume counter, and naturally didn’t get the job because I had no experience! But I did get a job in the sunglasses department, which was right next to it. Wait. What experience were you lacking to spritz perfume? They thought I didn’t have it! I was deflated, so defeated. I was like, “Oh, my God! I really wanted to get paid $19 an hour to spray perfume.” But they didn’t see it, and it’s so funny upon further reflection. Then I just fell in love with beauty, because I had a front row seat to all the action at Saks from our sunglasses counter. We would see all the beauty artists working away, and it was hypnotic. It was when I first fell in love with makeup and I didn’t understand it, but I knew I wanted to be a part of that. There was just such an allure to it. I started freelancing at different makeup counters when I knew nothing about makeup! The women that I met taught me more than I taught them. It’s a testament to just listening. I asked people what they wanted. They were more than willing to show me what they wanted. Plus, I learned from doing it myself. Any memorable counter experiences? When I worked at YSL Beauty, I knew fashion brands, but I didn’t know anything about the people. One day, this woman comes to the counter and everybody seems to flutter around her, making a big deal about her being there. I didn’t really know who she was. She came up and asked me a couple of questions about what we had in stock. So I’m talking to her about the seasonal collection, walking her through how to use it. Cut to when she pays—it was Pat McGrath! Eventually, I got to assist her for Fashion’s Night Out. She had probably 15 assistants she’d never met before; there were around 100 models. I was just one of a handful of assistants who she continued to use after that night. Very serendipitous! Any advice for aspiring makeup artists? Work hard, be humble—those are the two biggest things. I know everybody says be humble, but ego is your worst enemy. If I had not been kind to people I came up with, I’d be in a very different position now. Some of these people ended up being huge stars in their own rights. You never know where your next job is going to come from. When you show up on set, say “Hi. Good morning. Good evening. Thank you. Please.” Just small things, but sometimes in this industry we get swept up in the fabulous. Those kind of acts just make the biggest difference. Don’t “handle” a model by telling her what to do. Say, “Can you please? Would you please? Do you mind if?” You never know who will be the next Bella Hadid. When Bella Hadid wasn’t even
“Work hard, be humble—those are the two biggest things. I know everybody says be humble, but ego is your worst enemy.” Bella Hadid, I was working with her and being nice and kind. It was those small, kind acts that just opened those doors for me as an artist. It seems you’ve moved toward working with more celebrity clients. What’s that been like? A couple years ago, I had the privilege of going to
the InStyle Awards when Tom Ford was honored [in 2016]. He spoke about how, when he first started in the business, fashion snubbed Hollywood. Now, it’s very harmonious. There are definitely big differences and nuances between being a celebrity or fashion-centric makeup artist. I’m one of the few artists able to sort of

“It’s a fullcircle moment to actually be the ambassador for a brand I essentially started with. I don’t take it lightly.” glide seamlessly between the two, because I still very much work within fashion. I’m always going to have a soft spot in my heart for fashion jobs—the covers and campaigns. What are those distinctions, exactly? When working with a celebrity, you decide on a look for the red carpet, and from the moment they’re getting in the makeup chair and I have them in the light, it needs to be a 360-degree look. It needs to be able to read for social media, for the paparazzi photographing them, on the red carpet with massive amounts of flash—and to translate for video, for interviews on the carpet. It needs to have longevity, to wear really well. I could put on really glossy, pretty makeup, but is that really going to be the best choice three hours later, after the carpet, after the premiere, when they’re photographed leaving that venue? I don’t think so! You have to figure out what has the best shelf life, and what’s going to look the best on the carpet, without compromising the integrity of the makeup look. It’s about being hyperaware of different lighting, a celebrity’s stance, and the products’ wearability. That’s why I love working with Maybelline New York so much; they have products that have really long wear-frames, and still look great after six, eight, even 12 hours! What do you do as a Maybelline New York ambassador? I’m a representation of the brand. What an exciting opportunity, because growing up as a makeup artist in New York City, I didn’t come from money. I had to scrounge and have side jobs to pay my health care and my schooling. I wasn’t in a position where I could go to Sephora and splurge on a fun, amazing makeup kit. So I had to make it work with what I could afford at the drugstore level—Maybelline was one of those brands. In college, all my girlfriends gave me halfused, busted cosmetics and I was like, “Alright, thank you! Let’s go!” Every woman has a drawer of makeup that they regret buying. They just happily donated it to me, and I was grateful to have that. It’s a full-circle moment to actually be the ambassador for a brand I essentially started with. I don’t take it lightly. I hope I

get to speak to those young people starting out and using those products, and inspire them to play with makeup and be the artists that they see themselves becoming. What is a typical day for you as an ambassador? They’ll make me available for some of my red carpet clients, so let’s say they’re sending me to L.A. for the Golden Globes—while I’m there, I’ll be using Maybelline on my celebrity clients. Then, I get to host an event, like a dinner for other makeup artist friends, and welcome them to stock their makeup kits with Maybelline. I could also sit down with a media outlet the day after, and I get to talk about the looks I created. Any summer beauty tips? I encourage people to use something that’s longwearing or waterproof. I’ve seen people using a glowy foundation or glowly, glossy product in the summer, and it’s so warm, it just melts off the skin. How about summer trends? Shine is always in. I love a highlighted cheek with a really beautiful metallic eye. There’s a new Maybelline jelly highlighter that comes in two different colors that work with any skin tone. Highlighting is always in fashion! It doesn’t matter what skin tone you have, or your age. I’m also seeing a lot of blush being used as eyeshadow, and bright, daring eyeliners. Jewel tones are a really great way to bring out your eyes. I even recently did a really bold white eyeliner look on Janelle Monáe. A bold eye is always a win! Tell us about some of your favorite new launches from Maybelline New York this season.

MAKEUPMaster Yes, there’s the Dream Urban Cover which creates a barrier between the foundation and your skin. It’s almost like your skin is wearing a glove. In big metropolis cities, like New York and L.A., there is a lot of pollution, so it’s really great to sort of have that barrier between the skin. I’ve found a lot of success with using it because it has built-in primer. And full disclosure, up until recently, I hadn’t been using setting spray. I started working with Winnie Harlow over the past few years, and she’s a huge settingspray lover. I didn’t believe it until I saw it. I gotta tell ya, her makeup does not move. Now using it has really been a game changer because it prevents the makeup from bleeding. Plus, the SuperStay Ink Crayon is kind of the love child between your lipstick and your lip liner. It photographs so beautifully, and it has a velvety texture. So you get the benefits of a matte lipstick without feeling like you’re suffocating your lips. Has social media affected how you work? I think it has definitely changed how we create looks, because now everybody has their phones. It used to be that the client would hit the carpet with all the cameras flashing, but, although it was a 360-degree look, the situation was detailed and controlled. Now, you have social media and photos taken when [models and celebrities] start getting their makeup done in the chair. Depending on how active my clients are on social media, I need to make sure that from the moment they sit down and we start, it’s a positive reflection of my brand as well; making sure my kit is tidy, and that products look good. Even how I maintain the space and environment, the music that I play, and the type of lighting are factors. It’s all under a microscope. Yes, I have certain tried-and-true products I love, but they look a little beat-up! I use them all the time, and it’s like, “Oh, girl, I got to get a new one of those! It’s not photo-ready!” I wouldn’t normally do certain things in a particular order, but I’ve sort of rewired my brain to do certain steps first, so that their skin is “on,” for instance. Or I’ll start with concealing them, then do foundation. Thoughts on the influx of beauty influencers? I think we’ve had some growing pains as an industry in terms of business, being an educated consumer, and knowing what you’re looking at. When people see these influencers and create their makeup looks, it’s just so important they know the difference between a makeup artist like myself and a beauty influencer. I’m not discrediting what they do, but they’re doing it on themselves. If you place someone of a different ethnicity or race in their chair, somebody that’s different from them, they might not be able to replicate that same type of look, because they’ve only ever done it on themselves. I look at everybody as a brand-new canvas. They’re showing a side of the business that we haven’t seen before. It’s diversifying the beauty industry, and I think ultimately, it’s a good thing: There needs to be diversity within the industry. A subculture within the industry is necessary, because it’s inspiring the young people. It’s important for the viewer to know the difference between what [influencers] offer versus what I offer—different levels of training, fine-tuning, education, and experience.

JEWELFocus
SHINE ON
How did you first become interested in jewelry? From a young age, I knew I wanted to live a creative life. I grew up in the ’70s when there was a focus on craft, and it had a huge influence on me. I started with a small trade shop and was able to gain a lot of experience working with the more seasoned jewelers in town. They became my mentors, and I learned the techniques and skills to become a master jeweler. I began selling to a high-end department store in Philadelphia. Then one day, I cold-called Neiman Marcus, and a year later they were creating a new category of bridge jewelry and asked me to be involved. When you launched the brand, what was your initial vision? I founded LAGOS based on the idea that jewelry is the most personal form of art you can own. I wanted
to create jewelry that women would cherish and feel confident wearing. I saw that there was a gap in the marketplace for wearable fine jewelry, and I liked the idea of creating a product with a distinct point of view. I saw how Calvin Klein was building a brand with jeans, and I wanted to do that with jewelry. How do you describe your aesthetic? My approach to everything is form follows function. It’s easy to make things that look great, but it’s how things fill a physical or emotional need that make women cherish them. How has that approach evolved over the years? We’re always looking for ways to innovate our Caviar designs. I travel all the time and get inspiration from all over the world. I consider myself a treasure hunter because I’m out in the world, always looking for new
materials to use. I go to dozens of shows each year searching for the next thing. For me, it’s really about taking old-world craftsmanship and enhancing it with technology, without changing what makes it special. What do you consider to be your first major success? Everyone measures success differently. I felt successful when I was running my trade shop. I felt successful when I first got into Neiman Marcus, and when we hit certain business milestones over the years. There hasn’t been one major moment; I continue to celebrate the successes as they come. How was the Caviar Collection born? Caviar is the signature design of LAGOS, featuring handcrafted beading that’s present in every piece in every collection. It was born in the 1980s when I was working on a hematite necklace that reminded me of

caviar, which universally represents luxury. It felt like the perfect fit for the growing brand I was building, and customers have really responded well to it. How do you achieve that Caviar effect in the manufacturing process? Our process is proprietary, but I can tell you that the Caviar beading is crafted in ateliers by artisan jewelers, and it takes hundreds of steps to complete a single Caviar creation. The unique texture is really a feat of expert craftsmanship and engineering. It’s the nesting of the beads that make the jewelry move with the body and feel like a second skin. What’s the story behind the “Smart Caviar” piece? How does that work with the Apple Watch or another smart device? I developed Smart Caviar because I’m a big fan of the Apple Watch design and functionality, but I felt it was missing a fine jewelry element. As with all our collections, I just wanted to offer options. So we introduced Smart Caviar, a fine jewelry bracelet for the Apple Watch. It’s perfect for the modern woman who doesn’t want to sacrifice style in order to stay connected. Where is LAGOS currently sold and distributed? The brand is available at lagos.com, as well as luxury retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, and more than 250 independent jewelers around the country. We also have a flagship store in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square. In terms of scale, we currently sell over 250,000 pieces per year. Why is LAGOS so popular in the Hamptons? Our signature Caviar design is comfortable, wearable, and easily transitions from day to night. It works for the Hamptons lifestyle because it has a look that can take you from the beach to dinner. What are your favorite things to do out East? I wish I had more time to spend in the Hamptons. I spend most of my time “out East” but in Asia. I travel constantly for business and pleasure, and I love exploring local art, culture, and people. What are your most popular pieces at the moment? Smart Caviar is one of those rare collections that has been both commercially and editorially successful. It was a huge hit when we launched and continues to sell. Our classic Caviar rope bracelets in 18K gold, sterling silver, and black ceramic are also customer favorites. How has the advent of social media changed your business? I’ve always been an early adopter of technology, so we were quick to offer online access to our brand. It’s a great opportunity to connect directly with consumers in real time versus the old way, where we were only having one-sided conversations through advertising. Now, we can communicate with our loyal brand fans and introduce LAGOS to a new generation at the same time. If you were to host a dream dinner party, who would the guests be? I like spending time with interesting people who inspire me. The strong, bold women in my life would be first on my list—my daughter, my fiancé. Then probably some of the artists I follow and collect. In fact, I recently hosted a dinner party where we mixed journalists with politicians, artists, professionals in film and hospitality. It’s fun to see so many different personalities come together and inspire one another.

increased my supplement intake and cut out sugars and alcohol for two to three months. I just needed a kickstart. Since then, I still work out five to six days a week; three months ago, I began a solid meditation practice with Transcendental Meditation. Each morning, before anything else, I meditate for 20 minutes, and each evening, I find stillness for 20 minutes. I cannot begin to tell you how my life has shifted. That white-knuckled, gripping, controlling anxiety has simply subsided. All I had to do was take care of me, and everything else seemed to fall into place.” Career Goals: “Putting a TV show out into the universe.” Travel Philosophy: “As often as you can, explore something new. As a family, we just returned from two weeks in Italy, to Puglia and Ischia. We’ve always been an adventurous family who traveled to every corner of the earth, even when our son was an infant. As a family, especially with a teen, it’s so important to remove ourselves from our everyday environments so that we truly connect, talk, and laugh, and navigate the unknown together. It makes every day an adventure— that sense of exploration and discovery is downright thrilling.” Ultimate Mix Master: “Oh, hail Martha [Stewart]! Always and forever.” Hamptons Obsessions: “Nature is a magical thing. Sunset walks to Louse Point are now a daily occurrence!”

Various Hustles: “I’m an author, creator of EyeSwoon, interior designer, recipe developer, stylist, writer, lifestyle and entertaining expert, creative director, and all-around lover of creating beauty within the home.” How I Mix It Up: “I just turned in my second book, about interior design, out March 2020 from Abrams. It traces the process of how beautiful design comes together. I’m in the beginning stages of developing a tabletop and furniture collection. Also, I’m continually filming food content for my recipe series, EyeSwoon Unplugged.” Growth Strategy: “Last year I had a massive shift; a breakthrough. For two-plus years, as I was writing my first book and renovating our Brooklyn townhouse, I had zero self-care and was obsessively working and stressing. Because of that, I was unbelievably fragile and depleted. I was working upward of 14 hours a day, and couldn’t find an end in sight to my mania. I had to find myself again. I made the tough decision to delay the delivery of my second book and choose to take the entire month of August off to find myself. I began yoga again and started doing SoulCycle—it was so amazing to sweat and engage with my 20-plus-year yoga practice. I
ALIZA LICHT Various Hustles: “Growing up, my walls were plastered with high-fashion magazine spreads. Fashion wasn’t a career that I knew of back then, so I set out to become a plastic surgeon, graduating with a degree in neurobiology and physiology. But my heart wasn’t in it, and my signature red lip and the surgical mask didn’t go well together, so after college I pivoted to my dream career, starting at Harper’s Bazaar. From there, I joined Marie Claire. After two years in editorial, I jumped to the other side of the business—public relations. I joined Donna Karan International and worked my way up for 17 years, ultimately becoming SVP of global communications. But I’m probably best known for

creating and being the voice of the social personality @DKNYPRGIRL and building an organic multiplatform community of over 1.5 million followers for DKNY. For the past two and a half years, I was EVP of brand marketing and communications at alice + olivia. I left in March to pick up the consulting business that I started when I left Donna Karan. I think of myself as a ’rent a CMO,’ helping to bring my experience and passion for storytelling to brands in fashion, beauty, wellness, and tech.” How I Mix It Up: “My role as @DKNYPRGIRL led to me writing my book, Leave Your Mark, which is a career mentorship and has been translated into Spanish, Chinese, and Russian. I’m proud that it has helped young professionals navigate their careers. Now, I’m launching Leave Your Mark: The Podcast, which will deliver freshly brewed career advice every week, with insights from some incredible guests. I’m also a mom of two kids—Jonathan (14) and Sabrina (11). They keep me super busy and grounded with comments like, ’Mom, your posts are cringey.’ So no matter what recognition I have ever received in my job, it gets crushed to smithereens at home and makes me question my social media prowess on a daily basis. They keep me sharp! Right now, I’ve spent the bulk of my personal time recording interviews for my podcasts and also working on an Instagram account that my sister and I started last summer called @homesickdotcom. We were both super campers, so we started the account to post all the homesick and hysterically funny letters parents get from their kids who are at sleepaway camp. We’re obsessed with this account; I actually have to remember to check my personal account!” Travel Philosophy: “I am a last-minute traveler. My husband and I have been known to wake up on a Sunday and say, ’Let’s go to Vegas tonight!’ We never plan in advance, mostly because we can never decide what we want to do or where we want to visit. I didn’t travel that much when my kids were little, but now I’m trying to make up for the lost time. My destination philosophy has always been ’If I don’t need to care about my outfit at this destination, then I don’t want to go there!’ I pack a different shoe and bag for every look. My husband hates me.” Hamptons Obsessions: “For me, the Hamptons is about family time. Even when we have plans with friends, it’s always with the kids. We host often and can easily have six to eight kids in the house at one time. It’s definitely chaotic and loud, but also so warm and memorable. Everything is better in the Hamptons!”
JACK BRINKLEYCOOK
Nina Agdal and Jack Brinkley-Cook
Various Hustles: “I’m the founder & CEO of Rove, a new sprinter van service shuttling to and from the Hamptons and New York City. I grew up in the Hamptons, and have lived in the city for the past four and a half years, so as you can imagine I’ve traveled between the two places more times than I can count. I was never really satisfied with the transportation options, they were either unenjoyable, expensive, or took forever. Rove was born from the idea that the way people travel between NYC and the Hamptons needed a change, something both more pleasurable and direct, without having to cost a fortune. At the end of the day you go to the Hamptons to enjoy yourself, and the way you get there should reflect that. We’re such a young company; everyone really does a little bit of everything. My main responsibilities are overseeing the day-to-day operations, particularly our partnerships.“ Typical Day: “Ideally, I’m waking up at home in the Hamptons! Grabbing coffee in Sag Harbor—a lot of it—and e-mails, meetings, and phone calls. I have about 90 calls per day with my business partner, Jake Sosne. And meetings. By the afternoon, I’m on the water, hopefully on the boat, followed by a dinner at Sunset Beach or Duryea’s Lobster Deck, cruising home under the stars.” Travel Philosophy: “The way you get somewhere can set the tone for your destinations—do it right.” Growth Strategy: “My girlfriend [Nina Agdal] got me a bike for my birthday, so lately I’ve been really into trying to put in miles, as they say. My favorite route is from our home in Bridgehampton to Montauk! I’m into anything outdoors and active.”
Various Hustles: “I spend 80 percent of my time working on my men’s swim and resort brand, KATAMA (and spend 100 percent of my time thinking about it), and I’ve got my hands in everything—designing, producing, picking, packing, shipping, planning, booking flights, paying bills, sending invoices, merchandising, sending line sheets, cleaning our Airstream trailer, and pitching ideas to potential partners. I also work for other brands as male model talent, which was my initial exposure to this industry. Family photos from Martha’s Vineyard formed the basis for Katama. My dad, uncles, and grandfather would all wear their running, tennis, and golf shorts swimming after their respective sports.” How I Mix It Up: “No two days look the same, and I’m thankful for that! The creatives, publications, and brands I work with as both a business owner and model keep me constantly on my feet. I love every minute of it—the glamorous and the not-so-glamorous bits—and I appreciate my ever-shifting schedule and roles. I’m consistently looking for new ventures; I coown restaurants in Philadelphia, Stock and Res Ipsa Cafe, and some more are on the way.” Travel Philosophy: “It’s so important not just to travel, but to do so beyond your comfort zone, to learn about the cultures and people of the places you visit.” Career Goals: “To create products that reduce our carbon footprint and help clean up the oceans. KATAMA now uses upcycled fabrics while maintaining our high quality—and there are always ways to improve!” Hamptons Obsessions: “The Hamptons are what you make them, and I love that sense of ’choose your own adventure.’ There’s the commercial element, which you can experience in an afternoon, and then in the evening, end up at the beach for a rustic, meaningful dinner with loved ones. No matter what you’re doing, I think when everyone is out of the city and back in touch with nature, it brings out the best in people.”

BRITTANY PELTZ BUERSTEDDE Various Hustles: “Which one? Mother, wife, or designer? I wear many hats in all aspects of my life, especially when it comes to running my business, Leah + Rae. We’re still a small, growing team, which takes me from designer in my quiet studio to production tech in the midst of the hustle and bustle of our Manhattan factory to creative director on set. I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.” How I Mix It Up: “I am mixing things up professionally with our first and long-awaited pieces for moms. I cannot wait to see them on all our ’Momma Muses.’ Lately, my mind has been fully focused on nesting in our new home and enjoying everything there is about country life. I feel I’m taking a course in home economics while exploring all the local farm stands, produce, and even experimenting with some cooking.” Travel Philosophy: “This summer, it’s all about staying local, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m very pregnant with my third baby, and am enjoying every second of our newfound country life.” Hamptons Obsessions: “My time out East has definitely allowed me to create more balance in my life, especially when it comes to slowing down and enjoying the little moments—it’s exactly what each of us needs right now.”
Various Hustles: “I try to spend as much time as I can at the beach, but I also have so much fun at work. The fashion schedule has gotten even crazier, with Resort becoming a key season, followed by Miami Swim Week, which is followed by September Fashion Week, and a million collaborations in between.” Typical Day: “Shoot out of bed, take my dog, Ziggy, on a walk, make some coffee, and then a quick workout before riding a Citi Bike to work. The rest of the day is a full-on sprint. I try to handle the business side when I come in, so I can focus on design the rest of the day. Our Cynthia Rowley studio is on the ground level, (right) with daughter with floor to ceiling windows, Kit Keenan kind of like seeing chefs in the kitchen. We just transitioned it into a functioning store, so sometimes I like to play the role of stylist when people walk in. Once I get home, lots of home-cooked family dinners mixed with a few fun nights out on the town. By fun night on the town, it can go from dinner with friends to go-kart racing to a concert.… I’m pretty much game for anything.” How I Mix It Up: “I feel like I’m always running in front of the boredom train! We always like to incorporate some sense of adventure into everything we do. Lots of collaborations and collection drops on the way, including our new shoe collection. We’re hosting more surf camps, opening more stores, and I just launched my new podcast with my daughter, Kit [Keenan], called Ageless, so tune in!” Travel Philosophy: “Never check a bag—and hit the ground running.” Hamptons Obsessions: “I love to travel, but I’m always out East in the summer. Montauk is my happy place, and surfing is my own form of meditation. When I’m in the middle of the ocean I can’t be on e-mail or social media, so it gives me some time to reboot and unwind.”
new people and learning about what they do. Doing that has inspired a lot of conversations about things I never thought I would be interested in. I’ve always been uniform and quite uptight about things, and I find I’m allowing myself to say yes nowadays. I have the purpose. I have the goal. Now, I’m actively on the move for contemporary ways and ideas to get the message across in a diverse way.” Hamptons Obsessions: “I love the Hamptons. A lot of my infatuation with the East End arises from what I watched and conceived growing up. Getting to be constantly immersed as an adult has been nothing short of magnificent. Maybe I still romanticize it a bit too much, but in my heart, I truly do believe it’s one of the most dreamy places on earth. It’s the aura, houses, cars, small communities, and understated nature. It’s everything.” Travel Philosophy: “You think you know yourself…and then, you travel. I always find I learn new things about myself when I visit a new place.”
IGEE OKAFOR Various Hustles: “From birth, I knew that I’d be an entertainer in some way—acting, singing, or dancing. After high school, I had a sudden urge to take my talents in creative writing seriously. I started to contribute articles to online fashion media outlets, and entertaining took a backseat; I spent my summers working on social media marketing and management at digital agencies like Socialyte, The 88, and Plus One. I launched my self-titled blog in 2017, and it’s propelled a full-time career in content production, consulting, styling, copywriting, and modeling. I’ve been able to work with some of the world’s top fashion and lifestyle brands. It has all been a dream come true. This year, I co-launched a men’s publication, BOND OFFICIAL.” How I Mix It Up: “I believe the best thing I can do for myself and my business is to stay as grounded and as humbly open-minded as I can. I love meeting

Various Hustles: “I’m the creative director and founder of GG Maull, a handbag brand characterized by functionality, aesthetics, and purpose. My responsibilities are…everything! One of the highlights of starting your own company is getting to wear many hats. When I worked for Oscar de la Renta and Juicy Couture, I was just a handbag designer. Now, I create beautiful bags, strategize innovative ways to sell, and impact women’s lives.” How I Mix It Up: “This year, I decided to pull out of most wholesale accounts and launch an innovative concept called Voice Your Vision, where the customer gets to vote on what colors and handbag styles are put into production—a job typically done by the buyers of department stores. Giving the power of purchase back to our customer has opened up new opportunities for GG Maull. Women hold 80 percent of the purchasing power in the U.S., but femalefounded companies only represent 4.2 percent of the revenue. Hosting events with other female-founded brands has been empowering to create a direct relationship with our customers while simultaneously being able to assist other female-founded businesses with their growth. Creating beautiful handbags wasn’t enough—I wanted to have a purpose for GG Maull. For me, this is honoring the Italian artisans who make each handbag, the environment, and the women who carry them. At GG Maull events, we also purchase our food and beverages from female-founded brands. This has expanded from work events to the products I purchase for my home. Now, my friends will text me recommendations of a delicious drink or lotion they tried that was created by women!” Growth Strategy: “Take risks! It’s the best way women can build confidence. In my personal life, I recently bought a house in the Hamptons. This huge increase in responsibility has forced me to work on my prioritization and communication.” Hamptons Obsessions: “Spending time walking on the beach gives me clarity and the headspace to be more creative when I’m back in the city at work.”
Various Hustles: “Music artist, writer, songwriter, rapper, poet, model, diversity advocate. I spend an immense amount of time writing, working on music, and working with my business partner and best friend, my twin sister Cipriana Quann, every week. We work with our agency, Wilhelmina, and with various brands, as well as doing advocacy work, traveling, and attending functions for work— fund-raising galas, outreach programs, film premieres, and fashion events.” How I Mix It Up: “I had so many passions and hobbies as a kid and a few made the cut into adulthood. I was certain that being a NY Times journalist was in my cards at age 10. My career took me into an entirely different direction involving music, modeling, fashion, and advocacy work. However, I spend a great deal of time reading, on political or social issues, criminal justice, marijuana reform, and fiction.” Career Goals: “Writing a book and developing a TV show centered around food and travel with my twin sister. Creating more music. Aligning myself with an organization centered around children who experience physical abuse.” Ultimate Mix Master: “My mom! She’s my idol. She had a full-time job, attended one of the top universities in the country, was a writer and music artist as a teenager, and a mother to twin girls…who had a lot of hair. She was always so gentle and patient when caring for our hair, so I guess I can add hairstylist as well.”
BROOKE LAMPLEY Various Hustles: “I’m vice chairman of the Global Fine Arts Group at Sotheby’s. I manage a portfolio of high-net-worth clients and all their purchases, sales, and appraisal needs. As an expert in 20th-century art, I work closely with the Impressionist, Modern, Post-War, and Contemporary teams on sourcing major

ERIC RUTHERFORD Various Hustles: “I’m wearing many hats for many jobs, which is just how I like it and keeps life interesting. My ’job’ currently consists of modeling, shooting content for a new show I developed in London, writing chapters for a book idea, and my ’Tuesday Talks,’ which I started because I wanted to use my platform to bring more positivity into the conversation, whether around sobriety, mental illness, or just being your best self.“ How I Mix It Up: “Every day is a new mix! Whether I’m shooting content with people who inspire me, rewriting a chapter after getting fresh notes, or pitching a collaboration idea to one of the brands I love to partner with on projects.” Travel Philosophy: “I believe everyone should travel as much as they possibly can. This could be exploring a nearby neighborhood or state that you might not know a lot about or booking a ticket to a country whose culture fascinates you.” Growth Strategy: “Every day, I write in a journal about everything that is happening in my life, ranging from my successes and failures, daily reflections and challenges, hopes and desires, and a gratitude list, to keep it all in perspective. Plus, I always seem to be pushing, nudging, or cajoling myself to do more, be more, or love more.”
SAMANTHA ANGELO Various Hustles: “Each facet of my job inspires and influences the other, whether editing, shooting, styling, modeling, music making, creatively directing, consulting, or designing. It all works toward a single creative responsibility, with the goal of expressing a perspective and capturing the imagination for a moment, in whatever way it takes life.”

collections for our auctions and promoting the sales to buyers. Every day is different, but I’m always viewing, appraising, pricing, or pitching for art and that constant engagement with something I love is a satisfying thrill.” How I Mix It Up: “It’s funny. Having been in the auction business for 15-plus years, friends and family have always assumed that I auctioneer sales, which is actually an ancillary pursuit additional to one’s day job. Just this year, I started learning to auctioneer, and conducting sales in our auction room for the first time. It’s an interesting way to learn about our business from a different vantage point, explore other categories
outside of my clients’ typical interests, and exercise different performance muscles.” Travel Philosophy: “Maximum efficiency. I travel for work constantly, usually several days a week and often at a moment’s notice, so I can’t afford any anxiety. I have my go-to business travel outfit, and I only do carry-on luggage. I’m a totally mobile worker, and am accessible wherever I go. But I love to travel for pleasure. Now that my kids are old enough—ages 6 and 3—I’m looking forward to traveling together as a family more. My older son has definitely inherited my wanderlust and welcomes any excuse to sit on a plane with an iPad.” Growth Strategy: “It’s difficult, actually, because I invest so much of myself in my work and then have a full life at home, so it’s a concerted effort to make time for myself and my marriage. I have always loved to read novels, and I still read a ton of contemporary fiction. As a parent I find my desire for escapism gradually giving way to the responsibility I feel to know about the world, and I now routinely read two newspapers on my phone each morning. It’s a luxury that my job itself affords ample opportunities for education; I just came back from an amazing week at the Aspen Ideas Festival, spent a week at Harvard Business School last summer, and I’m constantly interfacing with clients who are business leaders in their respective fields, and I learn from them.” Hamptons Obsessions: “I’ve become more disciplined about putting down my devices on weekends and during holidays. The physical separation of the Hamptons and the allure of the natural environment are conducive to unplugging. Plus, it supports an alternative lifestyle with my kids— two young boys who need all the space to bike, run, swim, hike, play tennis and baseball.”
How I Mix It Up: “I began designing clothes and oneof-a-kind event pieces a few months ago. It’s something I’ve done in the past and I’m currently pursuing in a serious way. Fashion photography has certainly refined my eye for what looks good on camera, along with considering specific locations and lifestyles, which is a guiding force in my designs. I find the process from conception to fully-realized to be exhilarating. It taps into everything I want to exercise—imagination, decision making, a confident point of view, and executing with conviction. Also, I’m learning to captain a 40-foot boat this summer, a natural extension of my love of driving, yet it couldn’t be more different navigating the open water. I like the respect that comes along with being responsible for your own wake. It’s powerful. I hope to encourage more female captains.” Travel Philosophy: “It’s not about where you’re going. It’s how you get there—and the freedom to move around at your own pace once you’ve arrived.… Always rent a car.” Growth Strategy: “Keeping a close eye on my social battery. Creativity requires a specific frame of mind, which must be fostered. It takes discipline and confidence to know when you need to recharge—and when you need to push yourself harder. There will always be pressure to do more. However, following things that genuinely spark joy is essential for the creative juices.” Hamptons Obsessions: “In the Hamptons, we can shed the armor that we can’t survive without in NYC, forming deeper, more meaningful bonds. Aside from the incredible benefits of being surrounded by nature, my time out East has been pivotal to my current design projects and creative relationships. Look no further than my mentor, Arthur Elgort.”

TIMO WEILAND Various Hustles: “I started out in finance and investment banking. After that, I co-founded a brand with Donna Kang and Alan Eckstein called Timo Weiland, which was relaunched as a men’s modern tailoring line. I’m also the co-founder of The Lead, a growing company that bridges fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and retail with the global Silicon Valley. We sit at the intersection of fashion and technology. It kind of connects all the dots for me. I also do earlystage venture capital and advisory. And I DJ—it’s something I love to do, and it’s a solid money-maker.” How I Mix It Up: “I’ve teamed up with Zenni Optical, an eyewear company, for seven or eight years on collaborations for Timo Weiland; they’ve also worked with us on The Lead. I’ve been working with an artist and muse of mine, Kevin William Reed, too. The Lead recently held an Innovation Summit, which I’ve been really passionate about.” Hamptons Obsessions: “I love Quogue! It’s a really special place, sort of off the beaten path. Wölffer Estate and Two Mile Hollow Beach are two of my favorite places, too. The Hamptons is where you really get to connect with your friends and family. I start relaxing in the car before I even get there. Sometimes I feel like a chicken with its head cut off, and when I’m out there, I can just jog, jump in the ocean, drink wine on the back porch, play tennis, or read next to the pool. It doesn’t have to be party, party, party!”
STEPHANIE “chefanie” NASS Various Hustles: “I am a caterer, artist, designer, TV personality, influencer, supper club founder, and model. I make hors d’oeuvres, earrings, cakes, cookies, lollipops, tableware, kitchenware, and hand-rolled ceramic straws. Besides that, I work with brands in a variety of ways, from ad campaigns to consulting projects. It’s all on chefanie.com and on Instagram [@ChefanieNass].” How I Mix It Up: “Adding earrings to a catering business is pretty mixed-up, no? To me, they go together as entertaining accessories.” Travel Philosophy: “Life is short, and the world is large. Travel lots!” Growth Strategy: “In the same way I strive for excellence in work, I endeavor to be the best sister, friend, daughter, and girlfriend. In both my personal and professional life, I take criticism as an opportunity for growth and improvement.” Career Goals: “This year, I want to partner with a brand on Fashion Week, holiday, and Art Basel pop-ups. Also, I want to create ‘matchimalist’ plates, cutlery, and drinking glasses, as well as publish a cookbook.” Hamptons Obsessions: “Being here gives me the chance to think. As a creative, idle time is paramount to ideation. Every single day I’m in East Hampton, I go to the ocean, sit, and think.”

something on my own. My sister suggested I try this thing called BlogSpot, because I loved putting outfits together. I started doing it; then, we broke up and I was devastated.

I ended up falling in love with interacting with people from all over the world. This was a decade ago; you were really young. How did you afford all those outfits?

borrowed from my mom or sister! I’d go to Zara, H&M, or Forever 21, using my Theory paychecks. After about two years, I was able to quit working retail. Brands paid me to post products on my blog and Instagram. Bloggers and influencers have often gotten a bad rap. Are those professions finally respected? Somewhat. I still think a lot of people have anger toward influencers. Honestly, what you see on Instagram does make it seem like influencers are just running around, taking pretty pictures. But if you really

Backstory, please! I grew up in Old Westbury, Long Island. I am one of three sisters. My dad was always in the fashion industry, so we kind of grew up around it. Basically, everyone in my family is in fashion. My sister is a stylist, and another sister is a beauty blogger and makeup artist. Everything sort of fell into place, because it was all we knew. We had a great upbringing. My older sister and I went to Syracuse [University]. When I graduated, I sort of followed in her footsteps; she got me my first internship. Then, I started working in retail, at Theory in the Meatpacking District. At that time, the only way to get your résumé through to someone was handing it to them and waiting to hear back. I applied to a million different magazines. While I was working at Theory, I started the blog as a side hobby—I wanted to impress the guy that I was dating. Tell us more about that… I was dating him for a little over a year. He was going into a family business, and was all about work. I was still in college, having fun. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. He’d always say how attractive it was for a girl to have her own passions and career. He was hinting to me that I was too into the relationship, and needed to find something of my own. I thought that maybe I was losing him. So I wanted to try many different things to impress him. I took dance lessons, tennis lessons, anything so I could tell him I was doing

know what goes on behind building a brand and being a personality, it’s a lot. Many influencers don’t really show the real side. I definitely try to as much as I can. I don’t know if it will ever change. I think that it’s a tough pill to swallow for people who have worked so hard in this industry to get where they are. But those willing to have open minds and evolve with the times are the brands and people that will actually be successful. Any tips for people who want to increase their social media followings? It’s important to talk with other influencers. Crosspromoting is really great, especially with brands; just try to tag a bunch of the brands that you’re wearing, in hopes that they’ll repost, which will get your name out there more. I think videos are really important. People are attracted to videos. When you post a video, you get a bigger space on the Explore page on Instagram. Bring something different to the table. Pretty pictures are great, but being super real and sharing your life and things that you’re going through—I think people are attracted to that. Diet Prada, the Instagram account known for critically calling out fashion déjà vu moments, came after you earlier this year, accusing you of copying a Prada cushioned headband for a Something Navy collection; you dealt with online bullying as a result—and defended yourself. What was your takeaway from that experience? It was rough. It was not a fun experience to be harassed over a headband that pretty much every fast fashion brand and company has made in the past six years since Prada has launched it. With Something Navy, I never claim to reinvent the wheel. We’re making fun, affordable fashion. We’re grabbing a mix of what’s on the runway, what’s trendy right now, and putting our little twist to it. I didn’t even respond to the negativity about the headband; what I responded to was pretty much the bullying that came out of that account.
That was the worst part of the entire experience. I honestly didn’t care at all about the headband; my followers didn’t care. It sold out! What upset me the most was that they have a community of people who hate influencers. They would never attack a brand who’s done that. We are such easy targets because so many people want to attack us, and this was a great opportunity for that. What upset me the most was the bullying that came out of it; people on Instagram were actually telling my children to commit suicide. My 3-year-old and my 1-year-old. That’s not normal. Something needs to be done about [bullying] on social media because it scares me. I wasn’t upset about the situation. I was honestly scared—for myself and my children. It made me question sharing my life. It’s what makes me happy, it’s what makes my followers happy, and I hate that it made me question that. How did you get over it? I’m upset that I reacted. I never should have. I let these people be angry and harass me, and it died down. I was able to just move forward. I decided to not take it personally. I definitely learned my lesson. I’m never going to respond to people like that, ever again. How have you evolved the influencer game? We were one of the first blogger-turned-household names, creating products. There are definitely other girls who’ve done it before me, but I think I was the first one to do it with a retailer. That was a huge moment for influencers. We’re also branching out into other categories, which I can’t discuss yet. We’re going to break into the beauty space; we’re creating a digital media platform—an online magazine for girls. I’ve made my whole business about my team, not just about me. Seven girls work for me on Something Navy. My followers follow them, and keep up to date on their lives, too. Your collaboration with Nordstrom was major. What’s that experience been like? The partnership was surreal. It was honestly a dream for me. I’ve grown up shopping at Nordstrom, so to see my brand name in that store was honestly the most incredible moment of my career. The first launch we did was a capsule collection. I remember the night before, I was crying to my husband, being like, “Why did they pick me? What if no one buys anything?” I was so nervous and scared that [Nordstrom would] think they made a huge mistake. Then, that morning was the most surreal moment ever—the collection sold out within an hour. We have a few more launches with them, including a new collection this month; then, we’re going to see where it goes. You’re going to work with Amazon, too. Details! I’m pretty much going to share with my followers things you can find on Amazon that you never expected to find there. Mostly fashion, but I’ll share other things, like household products, home décor, and my kids’ toys. Why are people so drawn to you? I honestly don’t know. The only thing I really can
attribute it to is just being very honest and open, and not really hiding much. Even though I probably should, because there’s so much negative feedback from people. It’s just easy to hate on someone who’s being vulnerable and honest. That’s probably what’s kept people following my journey. I also think I have a good eye for fashion. You’re a Hamptons regular. Tell us about your life out East. I’ve been coming here since I was 6 or 7 years old. My parents rented a home every summer since I was a little girl, and 15 years ago, they bought a house in Southampton. Once I had my first daughter, we started renting our own house out here. It’s nice with children to wake up, play in the grass, and have breakfast outside. It’s just a completely different lifestyle. It makes me question all the time why I live in the city! It’s a nice balance. I’m happy I live in the city, obviously, but this is a dream. You also have an East End–inspired line. We launched our Destination Hamptons line last month. The collection was based on what I want to wear out here. It’s a lot of beiges, dresses, light cableknit sweaters to throw on at the beach, and really great bathing suits. I pretty much just wanted to create pieces that I’m always looking for out here. You often post shots of your two cute daughters on Instagram. What have they taught you? Everything! How to love, be patient, appreciate things, and be in the moment. I think they give me purpose. I honestly don’t remember life before them—or what I even stressed about before them. It’s crazy. They’ve given me so much motivation. They’re just the best things that ever happened to me.

GLOBAL ASPIRATIONS For designer and multimedia artist YiZhou, fashion is yet another means of self-expression. With Global Intuition, her Shanghaimeets-L.A. brand, she aims to bring her unique sensibility to the masses. BY EDDIE ROCHE
IT GIRL The multitalented YiZhou.
Hollywood and Chinese co-produced movies with my new investment company, Into the Sun Investment. How would you describe the aesthetic of Global Intuition? I think our creative board member John Frierson says it best: Our brand is a three-way marriage of art, fashion, and pop culture. You will immediately notice that our brand is a mixture of minimal wear and luxury wear. We’ve designed our clothing to be timeless, so 25 years from now, you can whip out that Global Intuition wear from your closet and pair it with the latest trend that’s going on at that time. What’s a typical day like for you? I am all about strategy and execution, so I am always at the office strategizing with our L.A. and ShanghaiHangzhou teams, coming up with different ideas on how to promote the GI brand. Has social media played a role in the creation of the brand? Social media has essentially become a way of life— and with the impact of it, how it brings people from all across the globe together. We wanted to pull inspiration from the digital footprint behind social media. The main goal of our brand is to create timeless and engaging pieces in a modern, social media society and bring awareness to sustainability and heritage, adapting in today’s evolving culture.
You had a Coachella line last year. Will you be doing that again next year and will you be creating collections specifically for other festivals? We plan on doing another Coachella line next year and hope to pull inspiration from and collaborate with additional festivals, such as Art Basel. The idea is to promote the spirit of the festivals and celebrate the importance of music in our lives. Where is the brand being sold? Our line is currently sold online at globalintuition.net; at Fred Segal on Sunset Boulevard in L.A.; Church Boutique in West Hollywood; on amazon.com; and on weidian.com. Global Intuition is more than just a fashion brand. Tell us more about the company. Global Intuition comes in a moment of global culture and a real world without barriers and geographical connotation. For this reason, the brand is a global brand with a global reach and global inspiration and production. The brand philosophy is about the immaterial aspect of fashion; clothing and trends come and go, but our essence stays the same, and that is why the clothing is so simple and pure. At Global Intuition, we seek to create complete looks for every lifestyle and promote the see-now, buy-now business model without fashion shows, and most of all, a new, seasonless aspect of fashion.

Tell us a little bit about where you grew up and went to school. I grew up in China and went to school there until the age of 7. Then I moved to Italy and grew up there. I later studied in Paris and London, earning degrees in political science and economics. Did you always have an interest in fashion? Growing up in Rome and Paris, fashion becomes a part of your DNA. As a little girl, I walked the streets of Rome at Piazza di Spagna, and I was really intrigued by the sense of style contained in all the stores there. From the Italian buildings and historic pieces, I saw that everything has a story and a sense of style. Your background is in the art world. I started my career as an artist in Paris and in China. I was lucky to have the support of many institutions, such as Sundance, the Venice Biennale, and the Cannes Film Festival. I feel I have used a lot of my creativity at a very young age. I am at a different phase of my life; I tend to project my creativity into my businesses. How did the Global Intuition brand come together? I started the brand with a suggestion from my best friend and my dad when I moved to Los Angeles in 2017. We built the brand to promote the everlasting and longevity aspect of the products, gender fluidity, sustainability, and cultural heritage. We’ve tailored our fashion lines to three different markets: millennials, working people, and people who appreciate luxury and the rareness of collectible pieces. Therefore, we have created our Basic Line, Classic Line, and Heritage Line for them. You’re based in Los Angeles. Why? It all started in 2016 when I met my agents from William Morris Endeavor. They encouraged me to come to Los Angeles and spend some time there. I was already traveling to L.A. nearly every month, and one day, a friend of mine suggested that I just move there rather than staying at a hotel. I took his advice and grabbed the opportunity. I moved to L.A. in late 2017 and immediately started my film and content production company, YiZhouStudio LA, and plan to invest in
“the main goal of our brand is to create timeless and engaging pieces in a modern, social media society.” organizations that unify people across the globe and bring world peace. How do you see the company expanding? We would initially like to start growing our brand online and have it featured in other high-fashion stores. Once we start to receive a high volume in demand for our product, we would then like to launch our own brickand-mortar store. Who are some of your inspirations? My greatest inspiration has been my dad. Watching him grow as an entrepreneur, as I was growing up, he taught me so much of what to do and what not to do as a business owner. He is the biggest supporter of my businesses and is also my favorite mentor. Other inspirations include Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Billie Eilish, Nobel Laureates such as Steven Chu, and Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel, to name a few. How would you describe your style? My style is definitely artsy with a fusion of edge. Where will you be going for vacation this year? I feel I am eternally on vacation, so I try to travel less and focus on building my new life in L.A. Clearly, the word “intuition” is a big part of your life now. Are you an intuitive person? I believe that I am a very intuitive person. I was always taught by my grandparents to go with my gut instinct. And with Global Intuition, we promote fashion and style as a sixth sense.

FASHION FORWARD The latest looks from Global Intuition.
You’ve set up a creative advisory brand. Can you tell us who is on it and describe their roles? Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, Prince of Venice, is the new shareholder partner of the Global Intuition brand. As a member of the House of Savoy, an actor, and the only male-line grandson of Umberto II, Prince Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia brings more than his royal charm, but also his knowledge and input in high fashion and business. The Prince of Venice has been an active and supportive partner of Global Intuition. Pamela Golbin is another adviser—as former chief curator of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, located in the Louvre Palace in Paris, Pamela was the custodian of one of the most significant and extensive collections of fashion and textiles in the world. She has personally staged important exhibitions on the work of iconic fashion designers, such as Madeleine Vionnet, Hussein Chalayan, Valentino, Dries Van Noten, and Marc Jacobs, many of which have attracted several hundreds of thousands of visitors. John Frierson is the president of Fred Segal. He
has more than 25 years of branding, licensing, and business development skills. Before joining the iconic Los Angeles retailer, Frierson founded the Lifestyle/ Licensing Group at Creative Artists Agency, where he created celebrity and designer brands for major retailers worldwide, including Target, Bloomingdale’s, John Lewis & Partners, David Jones Limited, and more. During his tenure at CAA, he generated more than $3 billion in retail sales for dozens of new brand initiatives via licensing and IP extensions. The represented brands ranged from retailers such as Missoni and TOMS to lifestyle clients such as The Cheesecake Factory and California Baby. You also have a philanthropic side. What charities is the brand working with and why did you decide to support them? Our brand not only wants people to look good, but to also do good. That is why we are working with charities such as CharityStars, Festival of Disruption, David Lynch Foundation, and the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. We want to give back to

FROCK ON Laura Garcia’s dresses have a playful sensibility, rendered in wearable silhouettes.
Industry vet Laura Garcia specializes in the kind of crowd-pleasing clothes that women always seem to be seeking. After a brief hiatus, she’s back with her own collection. by ASHLEY BAKER You’ve had a ton of experience in fashion but went on hiatus for a bit to raise your young children. What inspired you to launch a new collection? It just felt like the right time. I had enough inspiration, and felt I had the right support to start my brand again. Who have been some of your biggest supporters and sounding boards over the course of developing the Laura Garcia Collection? My husband is my biggest supporter. However, I do have my go-to’s as far as inspiration and business. I have one friend who is an incredible artist and always offers the best advice on a design level. And then, on the business end, my angel investor is a great sounding board, as well. Describe the aesthetic of your brand. How have your sensibilities evolved? The aesthetic is feminine with an edge. This girl is sensual and ultra comfortable with her femininity and body, but she’s not necessarily too girly.
What were some of the best lessons you learned in your previous experiences in fashion that you implemented in the Laura Garcia Collection? I learned to slow down and listen. By this, I mean listen to the customer. It’s important to always keep direct contact and hear what works so you can build on that. Which pieces or styles have been your best sellers? The Georgiana Dress is a best seller for us, along with the Feroline Dress. Your price point is accessible for the contemporary market. How did you settle on that range? We decided to have a price point that is accessible but doesn’t seem cheap. We wanted to use natural fibers, no polyester, and our price point is the lowest we could achieve with all of that. Where are you producing the collection? We produce everything in New York City. Why did you initially pursue a direct-to-consumer approach? It’s the best direct link to our customer, and it offers better margins. You grew up between Brazil and the United States. How did those experiences impact your aesthetic? It’s important to see other cultures and people all the time, to get out of New York and understand how people dress. I spend a lot of time in Miami, which for me is a window into South America as well. The girls tend to dress sexier and show more skin than in the north!

BLOOM Meet Erika Bloom, the Pilates and wellness guru behind some of the East End’s tautest bods. BY ASHLEY BAKER
How did you get your start in the world of wellness? After becoming injured in my work as a professional dancer, I discovered Pilates as a way to rehabilitate. As I healed and realized how powerful this practice is, I started developing a contemporary method and sharing it with others. My lifelong dedication to holistic health paired naturally with Pilates and led me into the wellness space. What initially drew you to Pilates in particular? Not only was Pilates a way for me to recover from injury, but to integrate the holistic modalities that contribute to my overall wellness—mindfulness, breath work, proper alignment and digestion, and more. A contemporary approach to Pilates is one of the most effective ways to retrain the body to work as it was naturally designed. How did you start your business? After launching Erika Bloom Pilates out of a shared loft in Manhattan in 2003, the business expanded to a flagship on Madison Avenue three years later. I always maintained a clear focus on client care and the individual experience. The body- and life-changing results that clients experience have sustained the company from the beginning. How have you expanded your personal practice since your launch? What types of additional training and education did you pursue? As a master instructor, business owner, teacher trainer,
and mother of two kids, I have crafted a personal practice that supports my busy lifestyle. I fit in a daily Pilates session with one of my instructors, and focus on mindful movement outside of the studio—hikes in Hudson River Valley, sunrise walks through my downtown neighborhood, bike rides along the river—to restore my mental energy. In summer, I dive into new research about the body and movement, dedicating that time to advancing my knowledge so I can bring it into my personal practice and that of my clients. When did you first discover the Hamptons, and when did you open your studios there? I bought my first home in the Hamptons in 2011. Our East Hampton studio opened in 2012, and our Water Mill location in 2016. Living and working in the Hamptons provides an invaluable opportunity to mentally and physically reset from life in the city. How did you end up with a studio in Los Angeles? Many of our clients are bicoastal. As we are fully dedicated to providing the most comprehensive wellness programs in the market, we follow our clients where they go, even internationally. Our beautiful Brentwood studio provides a haven for clients from all over the country to continue working toward their goals. How did motherhood change the scope of your interests? Becoming a mother inspired me to focus on preand postnatal Pilates, as well as provide training on diastasis prevention and correction to other women. Simple, accessible information about the mechanics of the body can empower women to reclaim their core and advocate for themselves throughout the process of birth and mothering. I also now focus on achieving a work/life balance that allows me to spend as much time as possible with my kids. When you bring new clients into the fold, what kinds of services are made available to them? When new clients come to our studio, we start by getting a well-rounded understanding of their lifestyle, schedule, and wellness goals in order to build their ideal program and see how we can support them
the most. The services available, all of which play an important role in a comprehensive wellness plan, include Pilates, yoga, massage, Rolfing, acupuncture, integration therapy, nutrition counseling, and more. What are the most common afflictions that your clients are dealing with, and how do you and your team work to combat them? Clients come to the studio with issues that the majority of people in today’s society are also struggling with— the effects of poor posture, a sedentary lifestyle or working a desk job, injury rehabilitation, aging and osteoporosis, scoliosis, or pregnancy and postpartum conditions. All Erika Bloom Pilates instructors are fully certified in special protocols for these populations, and they work together with our complementary service practitioners to build a road map to health. By focusing on a neutral spine, proper body mechanics, and intentional breathing, the Erika Bloom Method brings bodies back into their natural state of wellness. How do you like to spend your downtime in the Hamptons? I spend a great deal of time in the Hamptons with my kids. We explore organic produce stands, swim in the ocean, take bike rides, cook together, and connect with friends and family. I take time to be in nature, reset my circadian rhythm, and downshift from the activity of the city. What clothing items and accessories will you be living in all summer long? Ancient Greek sandals, Ulla Johnson blouses, Levi’s jean shorts, Isabel Marant dresses, embroidered canvas bags from Mexico, LNA white tees, Monica Vinader rings, Beyond Yoga high-waisted leggings, Live the Process bras, and Malia Mills swimsuits.

3-D scan plants for a VR world, or re-creating dream spaces in 3-D. You’re known for your multimedia work. What areas do you work in? I work with many mediums. Lately, I’ve been focusing on VR, sound pieces, glass sculptures, and paintings. How would you describe your bottle design? The bottle is a reflection of birds that exist in a virtual aviary. This aviary is part of a VR world I’ve been building for the past two years that’s somewhere in between being a studio, a sanctuary, and an extension of my apartment.

Sara Ludy How would you describe your work? I’m interested in the nature of immateriality and how it occupies various spaces—architecture, nature, virtual, and the unconscious. Where did you study? The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. We hear you explore everyday objects and transform them to find new meanings. Can you give us some examples of this? I filter my everyday through various digital tools to create hybrid forms. For instance, going to a garden to

input of the process, and the result is a vibrant, fluidlike movement. What’s it like having your work on a bottle of water? First of all, I love how my bottle looks, and I feel good holding it and seeing the design when I spot it. I get messages every day from people who found my bottle somewhere. Some of them are strangers who just randomly got into it. Regardless, it makes my day. I’ve had videos on TV before, but the scale of having art on a bottle of water is just mind-boggling to me. How much water do you drink every day? I live in Southern California, which is a pretty dry climate, so I’ve got to stay super hydrated. I usually drink a minimum of two liters a day.
Andrew Benson How would you describe your work? My work is a wild experiment combining painterly gestures with digital process. I engage the fringes of graphics technologies, stripping away the gloss to discover a new way to relate to the digital image. I create unstable systems and surf them to create tense and dynamic compositions. Where did you study? I have a BFA in painting from San Francisco Art Institute, although I split my time there between painting and the design and technology departments. After school, I began working for [software development company] Cycling ’74, which has in many ways been an extension of my education. Where do you find inspiration? I’m inspired by geology and natural systems. I grew up in the Mojave Desert surrounded by traces of old volcanoes, huge rock upheavals, and have always been fascinated by the ways these dynamic events leave their trace and shape the environment. I’m also inspired by the awkward relationships that form among computers, technology, and ourselves. How has technology made you a better artist? Technology is a kind of collaborator that challenges me to learn things I wasn’t ready to learn, forces me to adapt my ideas, and lets me set up arrangements that could never happen mechanically in the real world. You could say my work is augmented by technology, but at this point, I wonder if I am the augmentation. I like to think that I’m improving the technology by my opinionated interactions. How’d you go about creating your LIFEWTR bottle? The design captured a moment in time, as a feedback system was running on my computer. I had come up with a process where each pixel compares its brightness to its neighbors and moves in the direction away from the brightest point. This is combined with a process that tries to guess which direction each area of the image is traveling, and another one that tries to treat the image like an elevation map and creates shadows and light. This is all fed back to the
Zach Lieberman How would you describe your work? I work as a teacher and artist, and I’m interested in using code to make poetry. In particular I love to write code to make animation and explore how motion can create emotion. A lot of my forms are graphical, organic, and a bit absurd. I am also fascinated with augmented reality and how we can create ambiguous images that ask our brains to do more work. You’re at the forefront of computer graphics and human-computer innovation. Can you tell us a little more about what that means? I make art, but I also help create open-source software, using a toolkit called openFrameworks, that helps other artists and designers make work. I love opensource because it allows us to take the things that we learn as artists and publish them in the form of reusable tools that helps the community grow. Most people think of art as a solitary experience but opensource art practice is incredibly social. I think it’s important to think of art more like R&D and that as artists we are imagining different possible futures. Your Instagram account is pretty spectacular. What kind of posts do people respond to the most? Thanks! I post sketches daily. It’s often hard to say what resonates or doesn’t with people, but what I

love is seeing how things I like don’t really move the public or something I don’t care about captures their attention. That mismatch is interesting. As an artist, it’s hard to see how people see your work; sharing daily allows you more insight into that. When did you realize you were a creative person? When I was a kid I used to tool around in the basement and make abstract sculptures. I love assembling random things, and some of my favorite memories were my parents taking me to museums. I fell in love with art, and I studied fine arts as an undergraduate, spending all my time in the print shop. Using computers came accidentally since I had to get a job and all my friends were talking about web design and Y2K. How did working with LIFEWTR come about? I was approached by curator José Falconi and the LIFEWTR team to make some potential designs for the series. Since I’ve been active in printing my artwork recently, it was pretty natural and I had some ideas about what forms might look nice. What was lovely was to see how well they translated my work to the bottle, including subtle printing techniques. Overall it’s been amazing to share my art with the world this way. How did you go about creating the bottle? I have sketches that involve extruding a blob-y form in 3-D and I generated high res stills from those sketches. As an artist who works primarily with motion, almost 95 percent of what I post on Instagram is movement, it’s a challenge to try to find the right “moment.” I feel almost like a wildlife photographer watching a wild beast and I just tried my best to capture that energy in form in a series of stills. Then the LIFEWTR team mocked it up and made the label. What was your reaction when you got your hands on the finished product? I was overjoyed. As an artist, it’s really surprising to see your work in a new way, whether it’s printed, moving, on a large screen, in VR, or on a bottle. Every new perspective shows you some potential. Also one thing I love is people sending me product shots as they encounter the bottle in the wild. I feel really proud. What’s your favorite app? I have a ton of apps I love and use daily, but nothing beats walking around with my dog.

One of the biggest misconceptions about vodka is that its taste is monolithic. Really, the spirit has a range of unique tastes that develop from the environments they come from. This is none more apparent in Belvedere’s Single Estate Rye Vodkas, a new offering from the brand.
While both vodkas are made exclusively with Dankowskie Diamond rye, the two tastes could not be more different—where Smogóry Forest is bold and savory, Lake Bartężek is delicate and crisp. But both are excellent additions to your summer drink arsenal. Whether for entertaining or enjoying solo, Belvedere Single Estate Rye Vodkas are perfect for discovering an all-new side to the spirit.

The series features two distinct tastes. Smogóry Forest is crafted from rye cultivated in western Poland. The region is known for its vast forests, milder winters, and fertile soil. This results in tasting notes of salted caramel, honey, and white pepper. Meanwhile, Lake Bartężek is crafted from rye cultivated in northern Poland’s lake district, renowned for its crystal-clear glacial waters, as well as its long and snowy winters. The rye actually spends more than 80 days buried in snow, which has a direct impact on its taste.

Meet Brian Stewart, a renowned mixologist and Belvedere Vodka US Ambassador since 2017. THE DAILY SUMMER spoke to Stewart about all things cocktail-centric, and how working for Belvedere is something of a dream job. How long have you been in the business? I was a bartender and bar manager for 18 years. I have seen every bar you can imagine. Dive bars, nightclubs, fine dining—I have worked them all. What drew you to the profession? Initially, I was trying to be an actor. Bartending just made sense, but it wasn’t until I met my mentor and understood the history behind the bar that kept me there. How much time do you spend coming up with new cocktail recipes? When I come up with new recipes, I don’t rush it. Instead, I allow the process to find me. I like to walk to farmer’s markets to see what’s in season, and I try new dishes to see flavor combinations that I might not have thought of on my own. There’s no set amount of time to create cocktails, and my process is to take risks and not be afraid to land on my face. Every cocktail I create gets me closer to the next great one. How do you know if a drink is a success, or if it needs to be tweaked? If you want to have the same drink twice, then it’s good to go. However, if after the first drink you want to move on to something else, then that drink needs some work. How did you get involved with Belvedere Vodka? I have always loved Belvedere. It was the first drink that my wife ordered when we went on our first date. Belvedere Vodka has always had a special place in my heart, and I was lucky enough to join a team of superstar mixologists in the Moët Hennessy Portfolio Mixology Ambassador program. Now I get to work with the brand on a daily basis, and I love it! What’s easier—crafting the perfect cocktail or cooking the perfect meal? The perfect meal starts with the perfect cocktail, so the bartender in me wants to say crafting a cocktail is harder. But the cook in me understands the timing and delivery of a perfect meal. I would say they are the same level of difficulty. What opportunities have you had, thanks to the brand? I am blessed to be in the position I am in, and I have attended parties that any other day of the week, I had no business being at. However, I think the greatest opportunity I have had is to work with talented bartenders all over the U.S. No matter how much you have succeeded in your field, it’s important to remember that we are always learning and striving for that next level. My job allows me to learn from some of the best bar minds in the country, which in turn helps to keep my skills up to date and Belvedere current with the cocktail trends. That has been my most significant opportunity. What’s your personal go-to drink? Belvedere Vodka martini, with a touch of Lillet Blanc and a grapefruit twist!

CARE FOR A DRINK? Belvedere Vodka has crafted two new cocktail recipes that highlight the unique flavors of its Single Estate Rye Vodkas and shared them with us. Brian chimes in on how best to serve these amazing drinks!
Diamond Rye Back (With Lake Bartężek)
2 oz Single Estate Rye Lake Bartężek .03 oz Yellow Chartreuse .30 oz Crème de Peche Stir all ingredients over cubed ice in mixing glass and strain into chilled glass.
Describe this drink! This cocktail brings lighter, more elegant taste and is also very balanced. What do you love about this cocktail? It’s smooth, balanced, and can be paired with many different kinds of foods! Such as? Because it’s on the lighter side, you could pair this with fish, and pastas with light sauces. So it’s best served at dinner or lunch? This cocktail is versatile and works for almost any occasion—cocktail hour, dinner pairing, after-dinner drink. How would you describe the taste of Belvedere Lake Bartężek? Lake Bartężek beautifully expresses notes of black pepper, spearmint, and toasted nuts—which tastes wonderful when sipping neat, or using in a cocktail.
1.5 oz Single Estate Rye Smogóry Forest .60 oz Cherry Heering .03 oz Sweet Vermouth 2 dashes Absinthe 2 dashes Chocolate Bitters Stir all ingredients over cubed ice in mixing glass and strain into chilled glass over large ice cube.
What is this drink’s overall vibe? A balanced mix of bold and savory notes. There’s a touch of sweetness with cherry heering and sweet vermouth added, and then finished with a couple dashes of absinthe to keep it on the bold side. Chocolate bitters really rounds this drink out nicely, too. What do you love about this cocktail? I love how balanced it is. The notes of savory, sweet, and bitter taste mixing together so well. When is it best served? This makes for a great cocktail hour or afterdinner drink. You could pair it with food, but it’s nicely complex and stands out on its own too. What foods would you pair with this drink? Bold dishes, like steak or lamb. How does it bring out the taste of Belvedere Smogóry Forest? You really get that earthy forest taste in each sip, with notes of salted caramel, a touch of honey, and white pepper.

“Listen to your body. It will show on the outside if you’re not taking care of the inside! Beauty comes from within, and usually, if you have skin problems, there’s a specific reason related to your lifestyle, like stress or diet. Also, always wear sunscreen!” —Frida Aasen
“Get a full night’s sleep. I swear by it. If you go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning and get a minimum of seven hours sleep, you’re good. You’ll look young and fresh for a long time.” —Daphne Groeneveld

What’s The Best Beauty Advice You’ve Ever Received?
“My grandma told me to start applying wrinkle cream when I turned 25. I feel like it really helped and changed the texture of my skin to make it bouncier and give it more elasticity.”
—Alexina Graham “Being on an airplane a lot can dry out your skin, so it’s important to bring a good mask to help refresh it and keep it moisturized.” —Isabeli Fontana
“Always wash your face after working out! When you sweat, dirt and oil come out of your skin, and if you don’t wash it off, your pores can get clogged.” —Roosmarijn de Kok
“The best beauty tip I’ve received is to look after my skin. This means eating a flexitarian diet—a vegetarian diet with occasional meat, fish, and chicken—staying out of the sun, using sunscreen, wearing long sleeves and a hat, and sleeping eight to nine hours per night.” —Maye Musk
“The best beauty advice I’ve ever received is to drink a lot of water. And wearing less makeup is always good for clear skin.”

Look, we’ve all been there. You board the LIRR at Penn Station, yearning for two hours and 26 minutes of R&R before you arrive in East Hampton for a blissful summer weekend. But such pleasures are elusive when you end up sitting next to the most obnoxious characters in human history. How about this [hypothetical—cough, cough...] convo between two college kids. BY EDDIE ROCHE
Overheard on the
LIRR! Painful prepster: Are you sure this is the right train? Chatty gal: Totally. I’ve done this a million times. We just have to change at Jamaica, and hopefully we’ll get a seat. It’s like Game of Thrones out there when it comes to seats. Prepster: Why do we have to change trains? Gal: No one really knows. There’s also this off-peak thing that nobody can really explain either. Like, maybe that’s the train in March? Prepster: What if we miss the connection? Are you sure we’re going to make it? Gal: It’s set up so that everyone on this train is going on the other train. You transfer, but it’s all the same people. Prepster: Why would you move an entire train of people onto a different train? Gal: These are the existential questions that I don’t think about. Prepster: Whatever. I always thought the Hamptons was, like, 30 minutes away. I took the Jitney last week and I missed my stop. My friends had to drive, like, 10 miles to pick me up. Why is everything so far? Gal: I scratched another lady’s car two weekends ago in Southampton when I was about to take a Pilates. This bitch and her husband called me out.
Prepster: What kind of car did you hit? Gal: It was like a Range Rover. And I didn’t even hit it. It was, like, a nice little scratch and I was like, “I didn’t do that.” Prepster: You tried to lie? Gal: Yeah, I did. Because I didn’t feel it! She was like, “If you go in and take your class right now, this is going to be considered a hit and run.” I was like, “How is this hitting and running if I’m just going into the building and my car is still there?” I didn’t want to deal with the police because I already paid for my class. Prepster: Those are the worst, though, those little scratches. Those paint jobs will cost you so much money. Gal: Yeah, I know. Prepster: Did she call the cops, though? Gal: Yeah! I’m like, “Oh, my God, you’re like 40, you can obviously afford it. I even said, like, “I’m 19! Is this really necessary?” And she was like, “Oh, so that means you can’t drive?” And I was like, “No, it just means I’m, like, basically a child. Like, sorry I don’t have that much experience in, like, life. Like, sorry I scratched your car or whatever.” The cop was actually so nice. He was like, “This bitch!” Prepster: The cops in the Hamptons are chill.
Gal: Yeah, he was like, “This is really unfortunate on your end.” So I looked up this lady after and she, like, filed a complaint because she lives in a billion-dollar apartment in New York City and her neighbor left the shower on and caused a leak in her apartment and she filed for, like, “emotional distress.” Prepster: Emotional distress? Gal: I can’t make this up. Yeah, she doesn’t work. The funniest part was that the cop started rubbing the scratch with his finger and it started to come off. I didn’t even tell my parents because they’re like psycho. Prepster: Yeah, I don’t think I’d tell them. Gal: I totally agree. Just have the premium go up slowly. Like, they shouldn’t be thinking about this. It’s all about how you deal with it. Are you excited for the weekend? Prepster: Yeah. I’m gonna be with my boys and not leaving the pool. My internship starts in mid-August, so I’m enjoying myself. Gal: Where are you doing it? Prepster: Bro, I’m going to Hong Kong for the semester, but I have no idea what I’m doing. Gal: Hong Kong’s very relevant right now. Should we start drinking when we transfer? I have wine in my luggage. It’s a ritual.

FAMILY MAN Yorgos Tsibiridis is one of the most talented real estate brokers on Douglas Elliman’s East Hampton team. He isn’t just well versed in the region, he’s also a resident! Tsibiridis gives THE DAILY SUMMER the scoop on one of his chicest properties—40 Wireless Road in East Hampton—and explains how the area is growing into a year-round community that’s great for families. BY ARIA DARCELLA portrait by william jess laird
ALL TOGETHER Tsibiridis with his wife, Alicia, and Kathy Ashby, the owner/designer of 40 Wireless Road.
What other special details do you like? The arches in the living area. [They] frame the space, and I feel they are like a backdrop for a runway fashion show! Also, even though you are only a couple of blocks from East Hampton Village Main Street, you feel very secluded and private. What’s it like working with your wife? I always discuss business and deals with Alicia. She has great insights, and she has been amazing with the branding and marketing of properties, given her advertising and marketing background. She’s the one who pushes me sometimes, and she tends to always be right! We work together in everything we have to do, to get the property in perfect condition before listing it for sale, from staging to improvements, brainstorming marketing strategies, etc. What’s the best part about real estate in the Hamptons? The amazing houses and locations! You could have unparalleled views of the water or farmland.
all others courtesy
This house looks so open and airy—tell us about the design and aesthetic! It was designed by Kathy and Don Ashby. This has been their most ambitious project yet! The inspiration came from the idea of a monastery with arches and spaces that feel calm and open. It was also inspired by a famous building with arches in Rome, called the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana. Each room has its own atmosphere. Kathy and Don wanted to create a serene environment, with light oak wood floors and high ceilings. How did they achieve that? By removing extraneous details, they created a minimal and peaceful space. To complement this, there was lot of attention in making the lights linear, so they lit up the arches and walls using LED strips. What are some of its most extravagant amenities? The details are what make this house so special, from the designer lights, to the custom Murano chandelier in the kitchen. The kitchen and the oval bathtub were both designed by Boffi. There are also Italian marble, custom vanities in the bathrooms, and the hardwood floors are from Los Angeles. What’s your favorite thing about this listing? I love the scale of the house and the aesthetics. From the super high ceilings to the openness throughout, there is a great flow. The layout makes this house very cozy, but at the same time the size is great for entertaining. How so? The dining table can accommodate 16 guests, and the large living area opens to the outdoor cabana and pool area.

“the details are what make this house so special, from the designer lights to the custom Murano chandelier.” The clients are sophisticated and knowledgeable of what they want. I get to meet a lot of interesting and successful people from all backgrounds. And you get to help them make a major decision, looking at it from an investment point of view, but also a place for the family where they would spend lots of vacation time. What’s the hardest thing about being a real estate agent? Keeping the balance between family/personal time and work time. There’s a fine line between the two when you’re an agent. You get requests and follow-ups 24/7 and have to be responsive! Alicia keeps a better balance than I do. What has changed about the Hamptons since you first moved to the area? It’s becoming more and more of a year-round community. There are great schools for the kids, restaurants, and shops. We currently live in Sag Harbor, and we’ve seen how Main Street has evolved. The community out here is very involved. Both myself and Alicia volunteer at the Sag Harbor school, Alicia serving on the PTA and me on the school board. Do you own any properties? What do you look for when you’re investing? We own two properties. It has to be a good deal as is, and then you can create more value by renovating and adding more amenities. We also like to see the rental potential. You have two young sons—how do you keep them entertained and active during the summer? They’re doing some amazing camps out here with all different activities, from theater to animation and sports. We’re also hosting a Whaler [a collegiate baseball player for the Sag Harbor baseball team] for a few weeks, which was an amazing experience for the kids. It helped them with baseball practice! What tips do you have for family-friendly activities in the area? Meeting friends on the beach, make a trip to Shelter Island to Sunset Beach for paddleboarding and water sports. There are tons of offerings, from horseback riding to sailing and rowing. I still have on my list for this summer a rowing camp in Sag Harbor. How often do you work with clients who have kids? What kinds of amenities do they usually look for in a property? We actually often work with families with kids. It varies, but we have some good insights on what their needs would be. Location is important, and proximity to Main Street. Depends on the age of kids, finished lower levels, family rooms, playrooms, and large outdoor space for activities and sports. Any travel plans this summer? We’re doing a little bit of travelling—going to Greece, for a wedding and some island hoping.
A PLACE TO GATHER The open backyard and pool area are perfect places to entertain.
BRIGHT SPACE These tall arches give the house character, while also making it feel spacious.

Paradise Found GITANO Garden of Love is the perfect summer escape.
From Tulum With Love Gitano is blowing up! What’s your secret? We are grateful that people like our concept in Tulum and now here in NYC—mezcal cocktails, a modern approach to Mexican cooking on an open fire that is pared back and elevated, mixed with a tropical, minimal, and comfortable design, and an overall fun and sexy vibe. We have somehow appealed to the fashion and creative community, the Instagram influencers, and the LGBT+ community, then everyone else seems to follow. We give a taste of being in the Yucatán jungle, a hidden oasis inside the busiest intersection of Soho, Tribeca, and Hudson Square. What can you tell us about the Garden of Love? Our mission is to share love and happiness through the experiences we present. We feel the world needs more love, especially right now, and have branded the GITANO Garden Of Love with “Love” as a core guiding principle. This is a big year, celebrating 50 years since the Stonewall riots and 50 years since Woodstock, both of which had dramatic impact on our culture and society today. We have designed GITANO T-shirts for our team that carry bold statements like “Love Not Hate,” “Love Wins,” and the peace sign. In
the southern part of the garden, we have developed an urban farm of 20 raised beds and 50-plus crops of herbs, vegetables, fruit, and edible flowers, and we teach local public school students farming and nutrition; this is an initiative to give back to our community. We also program daily guided meditations for the community and have installed a smart solar flower representing part of our focus on the environment and sustainability. What is the dress code at the GITANO Garden of Love? Fluid, bohemian, casual, elegant—the wardrobe of a world traveler. We don’t care about specific brands and labels, but we love a good look! And, of course, we have our own brand and store, CALÓ, that sells sustainable, gender-neutral kaftans, kimonos, and jewels designed in Mexico and handmade in Mexico and India. Do you have any special events planned for the summer? We like to think of every day as a special event. We are celebrating our one-year anniversary in NYC this summer, and you can also expect some fun collaborations during NYFW.
GITANO's Watermelon Salad 1 cup watermelon pieces 4 ripe heirloom tomatoes Umeboshi vinaigrette* Lime pepitas** Fresh red basil leaves Split small watermelon in half and scoop out inside. Save halved, hollowed-out rinds for serving. Peel and cut tomatoes. Combine watermelon and tomatoes, and dress with vinaigrette. Allow salad to sit for up to 15 minutes to absorb vinaigrette. Scoop into watermelon halves and garnish with pepitas, basil, and a little chili powder (optional). Serve on ice.
Umeboshi vinaigrette* 3 cups fresh watermelon pieces 1 cup ripe plum tomatoes 2 Tbsp tomato vinegar (or light vinegar) Zest from 1 lemon Juice from 1 lemon Salt to taste Combine all ingredients in pitcher of blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste. Lime pepitas** 1 cup green hulled pumpkin seeds 1 Tbsp salt 2 Tbsp lime juice Combine all ingredients in skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring until all juice has evaporated (about four minutes). Serve at room temperature.

Located at 76 Varick Street in Soho, GITANO Garden of Love is like a little piece of Tulum, right here in NYC, making it the perfect hangout for hip New Yorkers who prefer to spend their weekends in the city. The Daily Summer caught up with owner James Gardner to find out what makes this little slice of paradise so special.

The event was part of Pier59’s annual summer series, held at The Deck NYC, the Studio’s private full-service Italian restaurant and covered deck that overlooks the Hudson River and is a seasonal staple for the world of fashion. On the deck, Timo Weiland worked the DJ booth, and midway through the evening, guests were treated to a special performance by Randy Jones (The Cowboy) of Village People. Jones gave a short yet heartwarming speech about Pride before launching into a solo rendition of the iconic “YMCA.”
Guests sipped LIFEWTR, wine by Winc, beer from Kronenbourg, and pre-mixed cocktails by Two Chicks.

Busy as hell! Much busier than a man my age should be. I am supposed to be retired but I keep saying, “Retire from what? Life?” And then I think how lucky am I after 50 years in show business to still be booked consistently and to still be invited to the party.… I am very fortunate and very blessed. I have had a remarkably enchanted life of luxury, friendship, and good fortune—I would not exchange it for anything. I am honored and so grateful for my legacy, for my time with Village People and some of the great songs that we have recorded. What drives you to keep making music and performing?

I’ve written three books. My last was titled Macho Man: The Disco Era and Gay America’s Coming Out. I speak about 15 to 20 times a year with groups on pop culture and social issues. I was born in 1952, so I can go back and talk about all the major social changes in our country: the Civil Rights era, women’s rights, gay rights, the Vietnam war. All the changes that happened in New York in the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s. I do about 30–35 concerts a year. I shot a movie this year. I have a comedy show on Amazon called Danger! Health Films. I am busy! But what I am most proud of is the fact that my mother, who is 87 years old, loves me and loves doing stuff with me. And that I have been with my husband for 35-plus years! Are there any musicians or performers you’re excited about today?

There’s some really good stuff [out there]. I knew of Stefani [Germanotta] before she became Lady Gaga. I was retaken with her when I saw her performance in A Star Is Born. I am in awe of the talent of Bradley Cooper. I’ve seen many of his performances, but he outdid himself with that movie. He not only starred in it, sang in it, co-wrote it, and directed it! Who does that these days? Stefani impresses with every performance.
