BEHIND THE SCENES The lobby The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

DUJOUR.COM

The Morningside Suite living room

Fairmont Hotel Vancouver The British Columbia luxury property was the perfect

backdrop for our Lili Reinhart cover

he Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, a Canadian landmark, made for a memorable photo shoot with actress Lili Reinhart in early May. Shooting on the hotel’s rooftop, its grand staircase and the luxurious Morning side Suite, the Canadian-based team of photographer Royal Gilbert and stylist Olivia LeBlanc scoured the property for the best vantage points. First opened in May 1939 by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the hotel recently underwent a $75 million, multiphase renovation to its 557 guest rooms and suites and has a new restaurant and meeting spaces. The Forbes Travel Guide 4-star-rated, Condé Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awarded hotel, which boasts TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence, was the perfect backdrop for the actress. Reinhart danced to Duke Dumont’s “Ocean Drive (Hed Kandi Apres House Edit)” while she tried on runway looks for the shoot. “We cranked up the volume,” says LeBlanc, “because Lili had been shooting until 3 A.M. that morning and we needed to keep her energized.” Reinhart was laid-back and comfortable on set at the hotel. “Working with Lili was so lovely,” says LeBlanc. “We shot so many looks in just a few hours and in various locations...she was such a trooper!” fairmont.com

SUMMER 2021

DUJOUR.COM

e’re very excited to share our summer issue starring Riverdale actress and author Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty Cooper on the drama series based on the characters of Archie Comics, now in its fifth season on The CW. We’re also shining a spotlight on actor Glen Powell, starring in this year’s Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited sequel, alongside Tom Cruise, Miles Teller and Jon Hamm. We always love collaborating with some of our favorite creatives, including photographers Victoria Stevens, Douglas Friedman and Jeffrey Westbrook, on celebrity fashion shoots, luxe interiors and stunning still-life photography, respectively. Larger-than-life characters like Bob Dylan are explored in a new biography, actress Julia Roberts talks to us about her new role as the face of Chopard’s new Happy Diamonds timepiece campaign and likeable actor Joseph Fiennes talks about playing an unlikeable character in The Handmaid’s Tale. We also pay tribute to artists like Paul Cézanne, David Hammons and Yayoi Kusama, all of whom have celebrated installations and exhibitions on view this summer. With so many countries now open to American tourists, we’re packing our bags and headed to Greece. But if you aren’t ready to venture that far afield yet, we’ve got you covered: New Orleans is having a hospitality renaissance and summer is a nice—if hot— time to visit. Don’t feel like f lying? Check out a number of brand-new upstate New York properties that have something for everyone. We hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we did producing it. Stay tuned for much more to come.

Charvet partners with Thorsun on its first men’s swimwear line George Sotelo, founder of swimwear brand Thorsun, has known French fashion house Charvet, one of the most famous luxury shirt and tie purveyors, and its owner, Jean-Claude Colban, socially for years. Recently, Sotelo approached the brand about using Charvet’s iconic prints and patterns to create a capsule collection of men’s swim shorts. “George is both respectful of our approach and enthusiastic about its adaptation to his lifestyle,” says Colban. “We took our time to do it exactly how we all felt it was right.” The duo felt that Charvet’s repeats and abstract prints would be ideal for this application, and the resulting lightweight, water-resistant and quick-drying trunks are classic yet modern.

American painter Tyson Reeder and French design house Celine have partnered to create a beautiful summer collection. The Chicago artist creates vivid, pastel scenes exploring the hidden treasures in everyday life. “I love using painting as a kind of amplifier or distortion pedal, where a handful of dead-end subjects—trees, cars, buildings—are allowed to sing a new song of willfully arbitrary color and pattern,” says Reeder. This whimsical capsule includes “Autobahn”-printed jackets, hoodies, shirts, windbreakers and T-shirts, along with a bucket hat and sneakers.

LOUIS VUITTON and Maison Tamboite Paris, a Parisian bike-maker, have come together to conceive the LV Bike, the perfect two-wheeler for city travel and countryside expeditions. The first-ever bicycle for the house honors the brand’s craftsmanship and plays with the brand’s monogram. The bike’s metal framework is made of enamelled and chrome steel, with key features including a monogram flower chainset, interlocking “LV” frame shape and leather-encased saddle, handlebars and cables.

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS

Chopard’s Pursuit of Happiness

Academy Award-winning actress Julia Roberts talks about her collaboration with Swiss jewelry house Chopard and the new iteration of its Happy Sport watch

his season, Chopard unveils the new Happy Diamonds timepiece campaign starring the incomparable Julia Roberts. Created in 1993 by Chopard’s co-president and artistic director, Caroline Scheufele, the iconic Happy Sport watch has been putting smiles on people’s faces for decades. And who better to embody that emotion than the always smiling actress? “For me, she is not only a talented and glamorous actress, but a genuine global film legend with a big heart. You could say she represents a feminine ideal,” says Scheufele. “Across generations and natural borders, the name Julia Roberts evokes a uniquely positive universal feeling. And, of course, who can forget that famous smile? Julia was the one and only natural choice for us!” For the campaign, Scheufele engaged director Xavier Dolan to create a companion film that shows off the joie de vivre of Roberts and the timepieces themselves. The house’s signature “dancing diamonds” on the Happy Sport and Happy Diamonds collections honor that free-spirited charm that the brand espouses. Though the dancing diamonds, of course, have remained, Scheufele wanted to explore the timepieces’ codes and revisit the original design in new ways. “In recent years, the millennial generation has been inspired by vintage pieces, increasingly featuring them for an edgy, personal style, and I saw this as a perfect opportunity to reach a new generation of women with one of my favorite designs from the past,” Scheufele explains. “Updating the design wasn’t necessarily a challenge, but the two things that I wanted to do were incorporate an automatic movement versus quartz and change the case diameter to create the perfect size that would appeal to a wider audience. For this aspect,

What do you love about the Happy Sport watch? There is something about having a watch, and every time you look at it, seeing all these sparkling diamonds whirling around; it’s pretty awesome and truly good stuff. What does being a free-spirited woman mean today? Being comfortable in your convictions and sharing your convictions with those around you. Not all women have those liberties, and I am very grateful that I have them. How important to you is responsible luxury? I would say that the idea of responsible luxury is something that not enough brands pay attention to. The thing with a

maison like Chopard is that it has really pioneered the idea of having a conscience, leading the charge and setting an example for other brands to follow. What is so special about Chopard? Chopard just represents this timeless idea of elegance and sparkle and being ladylike. You kind of think, “When I grow up, I want to be having a great time and wearing watches and earrings by Chopard”… and now look at me, I’m all grown up! What makes you happy? The sunrise. What’s a movie that makes you happy? The Philadelphia Story is a movie that makes me happy, to think about or to watch. What are your tips to achieving happiness? 1) Be kind to others; 2) surround yourself with loving, kind, compassionate people; 3) kissing, followed by dancing as a close second. What are your favorite qualities in a woman? Depth, soulfulness and just a real personal strength. What’s your greatest extravagance? Travel. What makes you laugh? Cleverness. Not so much things that are funny, but things that are clever; a thoughtful thread to humor. What’s your favorite motto? The motto that I repeat the most is “no way out but through.” What’s your current state of mind? I am really happy right now; it’s been such a beautiful day and I have felt such a really great sense of kinship that I had not expected today, so I’m super happy. ■

we did hours of research of how to determine the perfect size and came across the famous golden ratio, which is how beauty is determined in science, art and nature. This led us to the brand-new 33mm case size.” Modern women want watches to take them from day to night, from a spin class to a cocktail party, and Scheufele took that into consideration in this reimagining. “Happy Sport, with its distinctive combination of resilient steel and precious diamonds, can be styled for a casual look, but the dancing diamonds can also add an evening sparkle,” she says. “I wear mine almost every day, and it looks great for all occasions. For daywear, I love to wear it over my cuff sleeve and stack it with several of our Happy Hearts bangles that come in an array of colors. For the evening, I tend to pair my Happy Sport with a classic L’Heure du Diamant diamond tennis bracelet or a few of our Precious Lace rings.” Any way you style it and wear it, the dancing diamonds will bring a smile to your face. So, what makes Scheufele happy? “This past year, nothing has brought me more peace and joy than simply sitting in my rose garden with my darling dogs, sipping a cup of tea. This has really given me time to focus on creativity. I’ve had the time to sketch and dream up new designs, which is one of my favorite things to do.” We talked with Roberts to find out what makes her happy and why this campaign was such a perfect fit.

Guaranteed Glow A look at two resurfacing treatments to get you ready for summer: Fraxel and DiamondGlow

SUMMER 2021

DUJOUR.COM

hether you opt for an ablative fractional laser treatment or a gentle dermabrasion device, new technologies can wipe away those winter blues and prep your skin for summer sun. Fraxel is ideal for treating sun damage on the face, neck and chest as well as acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and melasma. “This laser will help with skin texture, firmness, elasticity and pore size appearance,” says Dr. Anne Chapas, founder and medical director of Union Square Laser Dermatology in Manhattan. “A series of treatments is necessary, but the effects are gradual and require minimal recovery time—maybe a few days of redness and swelling post-procedure, but easily covered by tinted sunscreen or makeup.” The device is both versatile and customizable, with the ability to go through every layer of skin to promote new collagen formation and skin rejuvenation. The advantage of Fraxel over other laser skin procedures and treatments is that you are not breaking the skin. “Since the laser only treats a fraction of tissue at a time, it leaves the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes rapid healing and reverses sun damage,” says Dr. Chapas. There are two types of the device: the more aggressive Fraxel Repair, which can produce noticeable results in just one treatment but requires more downtime, and the milder Fraxel Dual.

Between two and six treatments are recommended to achieve optimal results, with annual follow-ups. “Patients may experience redness or swelling after the procedure that diminishes over the next several days,” says Dr. Chapas. “Skin may appear to be bronzed or show little dark dots on the treated area, which may feel dry, peel or flake. Skin may also have a sandpaper texture for a few days after treatment.” The procedure itself isn’t very painful: “Some patients describe the sensation as burning and will feel a tingly sensation during the treatment itself,” says Manhattan dermatologist Dr. Marnie Nussbaum. “However, most patients numb for about 45 minutes prior, minimizing any discomfort. Patients should avoid the sun for up to seven days while the skin is peeling.” “Don’t get treated with Fraxel if you have extensive breakouts, open wounds or infections on the face, are predisposed to keloid formation or excessive scarring or have experienced pigmentation changes following surgery or are on systemic steroids,” explains Dr. Chapas. “For patients with deeper skin tones, it is important to discuss treatments with a board-certified dermatologist with experience in treating skin of color,” says Dr. Nussbaum. “People with darker skin tones should avoid traditional ablative lasers like Fraxel Repair because there is a risk of hyperpigmentation.” With most people working from home, now is a perfect time to sign up for this results-driven procedure. “Fraxel is a trusted,

gold-standard treatment that has been proven to be safe and effective at addressing some of the most noticeable signs of aging,” says Dr. Chapas. “It’s a go-to treatment for many, including some of the biggest celebrities, because it produces noticeable results without extensive downtime.” Dr. Nussbaum agrees: “My patients love Fraxel because it provides real results for some of their biggest skincare concerns and helps them to achieve a more youthful appearance without surgery.” For an aesthetic facial treatment that doesn’t require any downtime, DiamondGlow is a new dermabrasion device with a crushed diamond tip that gently removes the top layer of skin and delivers topical serums onto the skin. As Chrissy Teigen, who experienced it at the office of Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond, said: “It’s sucking out all the grossness. I can feel it pulling it out.” At New York City’s Shafer Clinic, run by plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer, aesthetician Edyta Jarosz is wielding the device to deliver healthier, smoother, clearer skin with unclogged pores and a more even tone. “The three-in-one noninvasive facial treatment uses 3X1 technology

to simultaneously exfoliate the skin, extract impurities and infuse skin with professional-grade SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums tailored to address different skin concerns all at once,” says Jarosz. “One of the best things about DiamondGlow is that you can safely treat delicate skin around the eye area and lips, where skin is prone to wrinkles and volume loss.” The 30-minute treatment also promises an improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, dark spots and discoloration and overall dull skin thanks to different tip variations. “Allergan Aesthetics is committed to offering a full range of skincare solutions for customers to improve skin quality in-office and at home,” says Allergan vice president of marketing Colleen McKenna. “DiamondGlow brings the facial experience to the next level with the use of customizable patented real diamond tips to resurface skin and infuse open pores with potent serums. Just one DiamondGlow treatment enhances clarity and luminosity, with continued improvement after each session.” The closed-loop vacuum system is also highly customizable, and each of the device’s six diamond tips is specifically designed for maximum efficacy and exfoliation for specific skin concerns, say, large pores, age spots or acne. It’s been proven to volumize skin by 7 percent, improve radiance, visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, stimulate healthy cell renewal and give a lasting youthful boost. After the treatment, skin is smoothed, plumped, hydrated and healthy. Treatments are recommended every one to two weeks, and a provider, like Jarosz, can suggest a regimen that’s right for you. ■

Pati Dubroff

The Chanel celebrity makeup artist takes us through a jam-packed day in her shoes

SUMMER 2021

DUJOUR.COM

BY NATASHA WOLFF

merican makeup artist Pati Dubroff is the woman behind the scenes enhancing the faces of beautiful actresses like Margot Robbie, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Kirsten Dunst, Dakota Johnson and Natalie Portman. The bicoastal artist is beloved by photographers such as Peter Lindbergh, Tom Munro and Annie Leibovitz and is a Chanel celebrity makeup artist. She got her start working at a department store makeup counter and on music videos before going on to assist artist and entrepreneur François Nars. “Education was hard to come by then,” Dubroff explains. “I hustled and freelanced and said yes to everything, whether it was paid or not. I was hungry for education and experience. I’m so grateful for all of the people I’ve met and the opportunities I was afforded from being François’ assistant, not to mention all that I learned about the craft of makeup and set etiquette.” One thing Dubroff always needs—whether she’s working or not—is good light. “Where you do your makeup is just as important as, if not more important than, the makeup itself,” she explains. “Good lighting is key to everything.” So what’s the best tip she’s learned along the way? “Leave your eyebrows alone (as in don’t pluck a lot of hair out) and make sure to fill in as needed, as brows really are key to framing the face. Curling lashes is also really important for opening the eyes. If I do anything, I will always curl my lash and do a quick brow fill in. Especially with wearing masks, it’s important to bring attention to the eye area!” Here’s how the makeup artist spent the Sunday of the Academy Awards, getting Robbie glammed up for the red carpet and ceremony.

6:00 A.M. I am an early bird and cherish the quiet mornings for time to meditate and reflect on what the day will bring. For many years, I have practiced oil pulling (which is an ayurvedic cleansing ritual), so the first half-hour I am awake, I am swishing oil in my mouth. 7:00 A.M. I check emails and make my daily list. Lists help me get organized and prioritize to best utilize my time. My husband makes me chai along with a bowl of berries and Greek yogurt. 8:00 A.M. I do a virtual workout with my Pilates teacher, Kiera Obst. We have never met in person, as she lives on the East Coast. Kiera is one of the gifts of quarantine: I discovered her when looking for online Pilates training, and she is a true master and has helped me gain more strength and confidence. 9:30 A.M. I double-check that my makeup kit is fully stocked and that I have everything I could possibly need for the big day. 10:30 A.M. Take a rapid COVID-19 test (my fourth COVID test this week), and I am very grateful that we test so often. This is part of our new normal for working safely, and I am here for it. 11:15 A.M. Quick meeting with Margot Robbie’s team, her stylist Kate Young, hairdresser Bryce Scarlett and manicurist Tom Bachik to finalize our plan for Margot’s red carpet look and check in to see if there are any last minute changes. 11:30 A.M. I set up my makeup and grab some photos of the beautiful products I plan to use on Margot today. 12:00 P.M. Glam time!

Good lighting is key to everything! —PATI DUBROFF

BY NATASHA WOLFF

r. Howard Sobel, founder of Sobel Skin on on the Upper East Side and attending dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, has been bombarded with clients clamoring for his state-of-the-art treatments. “We have all been hiding under a mask since last year, and now people are treating themselves to look and feel their best, and that starts with their face and their skincare,” explains Dr. Sobel. “When my office reopened last June, we were deluged with appointments for Botox and fillers like Juvéderm. The next priority was rejuvenating the skin as quickly as possible to smooth and brighten the skin.” His practice uses Vivace, a combination of microneedling, radiofrequency and LED light therapy that is the next wave of skin rejuvenation therapy to diminish fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes and provide a more youthful appearance by firming and lifting sagging skin. “We have also created the Zoomable, which is a mix of filler, Botox and laser treatments that can eliminate or stall the need for a facelift.” Once the face is tackled, clients want to focus on their bodies and get bikini-ready for summer. So what is he offering to combat the COVID 15 (pounds)? “Tumescent Liposuction, which I do under local anesthesia in our operating room, sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat that has not responded to diet and exercise from the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck.” Patients can see permanent fat reduction and be back to work in three to five days. For a less invasive treatment, Sobel recommends TruSculpt iD and Emsculpt, both radiofrequency devices to permanently destroy small pockets of fat in one 15-minute session and tighten up flabby muscles, respectively. We asked Dr. Sobel to fill us in on some of the newest innovative treatments and services on offer at his office.

This summer is all about outdoor dining. Invest in the best outdoor kitchens for cooking and entertaining BY NATASHA WOLFF

ince the outdoors is the safest place to host friends and family this summer, we know how valuable outside living spaces are. Whether you have a vast, landscaped backyard, a small courtyard, patio or something in between, those spaces are prime real estate this summer—and creating a perfect summer kitchen for outdoor dining is essential to saving your sanity. Whether you’re hosting a cocktail party or a sit-down dinner with a group of friends, it’s helpful to have versatile furniture that you can change for each occasion. “There has never been a better time to have an outdoor entertaining space at your home,” says Russ Faulk, head of product and chief designer at Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet. “Whether gathering with family or friends, experts agree the safest venue is outdoors. Share perfectly seared porterhouse steaks, wood-roasted vegetables, Neapolitan-style pizzas or slow-smoked barbecue this summer with your loved ones.” Event planner extraordinaire Stefanie Cove has masterminded memorable events for celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow, Molly Sims, Karlie Kloss and Drew Barrymore. But, this year, the Palm Beach native, who splits her time between New York City and Los Angeles, pivoted with the launch of Cove Curations, an offshoot of her successful event planning company, to create safe and intimate events for clients wanting to celebrate milestones. While a table and seating options are musts (we love Kingsley Bate’s outdoor furniture), you can splurge on special items like a fire pit, luxurious kitchens and grills. “Having a few smaller seating areas available throughout helps create a cozy environment while making conversations among guests much easier and more comfortable,” says Cove. Faulk suggests making the meal more special by skipping the melamine plates and acrylic tumblers and breaking out the good dishes and glassware outdoors. “Outdoor furnishings have come so far in the last decade that you can design a comfortable and beautiful outdoor living area that is every bit as nice as indoors,” says Faulk. “Soft, textured fabrics and upholstered furniture have really changed the game. On the cooking front, adding a countertop pizza oven is an easy way to expand your entertaining repertoire without revamping a whole space.” Kalamazoo’s latest wood-and-stainless steel Japanese-style grill, the Shokunin Kamado Grill, is beautiful and fits in seamlessly with your outdoor dining setup. “It’s easy to add to an existing space and it has enough visual appeal that it is almost like a beautiful furnishing,” says Faulk. “It can add to the visual interest of your patio.” Whether you’re cooking yourself or bringing in some helping hands, having a streamlined outdoor cooking and dining area will make things effortless when you’re entertaining. “I love the idea of bringing in a chef to cook outside so guests can see the meal come together,” says Cove. “Whether it’s sushi or a barbeque, these kitchens are perfect for accommodating a live chef who can prepare the meal in front of guests as they dine al fresco.” ■

Cameron Diaz’s Clean Break Cameron Diaz and her close friend,

entrepreneur Katherine Power, debut new clean wine brand Avaline

SUMMER 2021

DUJOUR.COM

BY NATASHA WOLFF

s mothers of young children, actress Cameron Diaz and entrepreneur Katherine Power bonded over the need for regular wine breaks. “Katherine and I formed an instant bond after being introduced, connecting over our shared passion for wellness and wine,” Diaz tells DuJour exclusively. “When we would get together, the first topic of conversation was always what wine we were drinking...it was inevitable that we would one day take a step back and start to think about what was really in the wines we knew and loved.” So, two years ago, the duo decided to learn about winemaking and the ingredients in their glasses. “As focused as we were on wellness and ensuring we knew the contents of everything that went in and our bodies, we realized how much there was to learn about wine,” says Power. “Once we gained some perspective on what was really going into wine, we completely changed the way we drank, and we wanted to share this insight with as many consumers as possible.” To that end, clean wine label Avaline was born. The brand’s five wines, a white, red, rosé and two sparklings are made with organic grapes and are vegan-friendly, free of unnecessary extras and totally transparent about what’s in the bottle. “We know how busy life can be, so we created Avaline with the goal of making clean wine so widely available that you don’t have to think twice about making a more informed choice,” explains Power. Its health-conscious founders learned about organic grapes and the farming process to create a cleaner wine without unnecessary additives. “We learned that not all wine is vegan, and it was important for us to create a vegan-friendly brand,” says Diaz, who has written books about health, diet and wellness. We chatted with Diaz about this new venture. What was your biggest takeaway from the process? It was incredible hearing the stories of these winemakers who had been farming for multiple generations and the care that they have for their land. In most cases, our growers are harvesting by hand and planting for biodiversity. What kind of a learning curve was there with this project? Right from the beginning, we made it a point to surround ourselves with as many different industry professionals as we could, from farming to winemaking to distribution and retail.

Was it a hard industry to break into? No matter who you are, the wine and spirits business is tough— we didn’t get any special treatment with the strict laws and regulations. We did our research, learned from experts, figured out how to create a wine we wanted to drink and navigated the very tricky business of bringing it to market. What kind of a wine drinker are you? Wine is always present and seems to be an essential human need. I have a few vintages in my cellar that I am waiting to enjoy until they have reached their optimum. That being said, when I’m looking for a glass of wine to share with friends while hanging out on the porch or having a low-key dinner, I want something easy to drink that tastes delicious that I know is made with organic grapes using the least amount of ingredients possible. We created Avaline for those moments. What varietals of wine do you tend to gravitate toward? I don’t think there’s anything more refreshing than an ice-cold, dry, crisp, light white wine splashing into your glass on a hot summer day. It’s equally satisfying to have the perfect buoyant, crushy, fresh rosé to sip while sitting in the shade on a hot summer day. drinkavaline.com ■

Major Miami Moments Jeff Zalaznick’s Major Food Group has expansion on its mind BY NATASHA WOLFF

Major Food Group’s Jeff Zalaznick and Mario Carbone with ZZ’s Sushi Bar chefs Kevin Kim and Masa Ito

lobal hospitality empire Major Food Group (founded by Jeff Zalaznick, Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi) has expanded its New York City restaurant mainstays to Florida. Following the debut of Carbone in South of Fifth earlier this year, the partners are continuing the trend of bringing New York establishments into the Miami restaurant scene with the opening of ZZ’s Sushi Bar restaurant and membership club in the Design District. “With ZZ’s Sushi Bar, we want to build a home away from home for the people of this vibrant, diverse city,” says Zalaznick. “It’s a dream come true to be able to create these dynamic spaces in this remarkable neighborhood.” In just 10 years, Major Food Group has pioneered a celebratory style of dining at its New York City restaurants, which include The Grill, The Lobster Club, The Pool, ZZ’s Clam Bar, Dirty French and Santina. The brand boasts 19 stars from The New York Times and three from the Michelin Guide, as well as numerous distinctions

from the James Beard Foundation. They’ve also successfully opened dining concepts in Las Vegas, Hong Kong and Tel Aviv. Along the way, the brand has forged a partnership with the Robin Hood Foundation, one of New York City’s most important forces in the fight against poverty. The new Japanese restaurant and membership club was designed by MFG’s longtime collaborator Ken Fulk. “ZZ’s has always been about surprise and delight,” says Fulk. “In Miami, we wanted to amplify these qualities by creating a true urban oasis—a playful yet glamorous environment with old-school touches and bold f lourishes. I would describe it as a tropical tuxedo: dressed up but ready to party.” The restaurant boasts a custom marble sushi counter, sleek private bar and lounge, outdoor cigar lounge and a backgammon terrace. “ZZ’s is about exclusivity and luxury,” says Zalaznick. “The best food, the best drinks and the best people. We are excited to share this concept with all of our friends in Miami. It is something very special.” The two-floor restaurant will have the largest offering of Wagyu beef in the United States along with an

impressive menu curated by chefs Masa Ito and Kevin Kim that will feature a number of ZZ’s classics as well as dishes created specifically for Miami. “Kevin and I couldn’t be happier to be in Miami,” says Ito. “This is the experience we have always wanted to bring to life, and it’s an honor to do it with MFG. We can’t wait to get to know our guests, bring them joy, and take our craft to the next level.” Specialties include steaks cooked over custom-built charcoal grills, handmade lobster dumplings, an indulgent Wagyu katsu sando with truffles, innovative sushi rolls and a signature caviar temaki. “For ZZ’s, we went a step further and focused primarily on Japanese food,” says Zalaznick. “Our fish is sourced directly from Japan; in addition, we have the largest selection of Wagyu beef and exotic Japanese steaks in Miami, if not the entire country.” The ground-f loor space showcases curving bentwood banquettes, walls with hand-painted malachite insets, animal-print rugs, brass palm pendant lights and vintage-inspired clamshell dining chairs. For the first-floor patio, Fulk dreamt up a “tiki bar on acid” that combines wicker furnishings in a bespoke banana leaf print with modern shapes to complement the bold angular lines of the architecture. Upstairs, the various spaces offer early ’80s disco vibes with custom banquettes, fringed stools, metallic leather, animal prints, velvet, neon and rose gold shattered mirrored accents. “ZZ’s in Miami is the first Major Food Group private membership club,” says Zalaznick. “It felt right to open a very exclusive, high-end, private club in the Design District. I wanted to differentiate from other private clubs that don’t necessarily place a heavy emphasis on food and rare culinary offerings.” zzsclub.com ■

The hillside home came with a small vineyard, the fruit from which was initially sold to neighboring wine producers. Frank fell in love with the home, named Winston Hill after his springer spaniel, who ran through the rows chasing birds and protecting the crops, a quiet respite from his hectic life as a Hollywood studio executive. He loved it so much, in fact, that he and his wife, Leslie, decided to retire to the idyllic wine country retreat. The bilevel home was remodeled but never needed a gut renovation. “We wanted to keep the integrity of the home but update and brighten the overall appearance,” says Leslie Frank. The Franks worked with local designer Erin Martin of Erin Martin Design to maintain a historic feel while making the interior much more contemporary. “Erin has a talent for combining a modern look with a vintage flair, and her creativity comes through

The Franks raised the ceiling on the original kitchen to give the space an open feel and replicated the beams found throughout the house for a seamless look. CB2 x Kravitz Design stools and a 19th-century French lantern from Lucca Antiques punctuate the room.

with her ability to source unique light fixtures and furniture,” says Frank. “She understands the architecture of a home and how far you can push it to achieve uniqueness while still keeping its integrity. She was also adept at playing with the scale of furnishings and position of the artwork to make the rooms look larger and ceilings higher.” A neutral color palette set the tone, and contemporary art from artists like Robilee Frederick, Jason Kennedy, John DiPaolo and Robert Longo brought in pops of color. Martin sourced furniture, f loor coverings and light fixtures from designers and showrooms such as Blackman Cruz, Obsolete, Holly Hunt, The Future Perfect and Lindsey Adelman. The modern dining room is easily the most used room in the house, as the Franks love to entertain and their delectable Frank Family Vineyards white, red, rosé and sparkling wines are, of course, always flowing. But, at the end of the evening, when the guests are gone, they have their little slice of wine country heaven. ■

Joseph Fiennes opens up about the emotions coming into the fourth season of Hulu’s hit original series The Handmaid’s Tale BY K ASEY CAMINITI

SUMMER 2021

DUJOUR.COM

PHOTOGRAPHY BY GARY WILLIAM OGLE

oseph Fiennes laughs when prompted to identify any redeemable qualities in the rather profane character he portrays in Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale. Now in its fourth season, the Emmy award– winning television series based on author Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name is set in a dystopian world called Gilead, where fertile women are deemed “handmaids” and subject to childbearing slavery. Fiennes plays the nearly universally disliked Commander Fred Waterford opposite Elisabeth Moss. Over the course of the series, Fiennes has always been aware of the passion that viewers have toward his character, making his redeemable qualities hard to find. “Most actors would probably tell you that they look for the virtue even within the most unvirtuous character and concentrate on that, because you’ve got to have some sense of likability or connection with a role,” Fiennes says. “What I feel is that Fred is deeply human, and what I love about Margaret Atwood’s world and series creator Bruce Miller’s reimagining of it is that it’s the human elements which are the most terrifying.” Despite the bleak dystopian world the show inhabits, its themes of systemic gender inequality, reproductive rights, abuse and rape are all relevant today. Since he began portraying one of the show’s most inf luential, power-hungry men, Fiennes admits he has taken note of what qualities to avoid in his own life. “Fred is constantly reminding me of the dangers of power, the dangers of being diluted in your sense of entitlement and your sense of superiority,” Fiennes says. “When it comes to certain moral lines, he crosses them big-time, and that’s something I find repugnant, criminal and unacceptable.”

The sense of having no contact or stimulus outside of a condo, except for going to Gilead... suddenly, that need for my wife and children was just huge. —JOSEPH FIENNES

Mixed in with the new season’s focus on motherhood and the unwavering strength of women even in the face of tragedy, there is a spotlight placed on revenge. “What permeates through this season is witnessing how deep lacerations, those deep scars, have teeth,” says Fiennes. “What’s exciting is seeing how June [Moss] and those teeth bite back. Because they’re going to bite back.” Of Moss’ portrayal of such a fierce character, Fiennes says, “Even in the worst way that she’s been treated, she still has humility and she’s still humble. She’s still got this extraordinary spirit as a fighter, but isn’t a terrorist quite yet. She’s bruised, and that’s a really pathologically, psychologically wonderful thing that Lizzie is dealing with.” As a husband and father of two young daughters, filming the fourth season amidst a global pandemic proved to be a massive endeavor for Fiennes. Shooting was halted for a few weeks, but then Fiennes spent nearly a year alone in an apartment in Toronto throughout the filming process while his wife and daughters were back home in Spain. “For the first time in my life, I was hit with a mild depression and felt very emotional about not being able to have control of going back to see my children,” he says. “The sense of having no contact or stimulus outside of a condo, except for going to Gilead...suddenly, that need for my wife and children was just huge.” Not to mention feeling guilty about not being at home to lend a hand. “As a father, you feel like you’re there as a force to help protect. My wife had been holding down the fort with the children and the dogs! I felt like such a failure that there I was in a condo doing nothing.” The guilt Fiennes felt for not being able to be physically present with his family is a testament to his humanity and humility–something Fred doesn’t share. “I’ve loved trying to humanize Fred and not make him a two-dimensional monster. He does have feelings and he is conf licted. We have to remember that in our real lives, even with terrible things going on, the majority of people are wonderful and good.” These human frailties are what he loves about Fred. “In many ways it’s just honing in on human fallibility. He’s a predator who is aware of the pain he inflicts but is able to rationalize it. I find that duality really interesting.” So, which characters are most challenging and interesting to play? “If I look back over the years I’ve been doing this, the toughest characters are the ones closest to you and the easier ones are the extremes of yourself. I wouldn’t say Fred has been easy to play, but trying to win back the element of the humane and the nuanced complexity has been my task.” Though exposing his villainous character’s extreme duality onscreen may not always be easy for Fiennes, it is clear that his own empathy for humanity wins out. ■

Beyond The Canvas The MoMA presents Cézanne Drawing, the first major U.S. retrospective examining

Paul Cézanne’s “Mont Sainte-Victoire (La Montagne Sainte-Victoire vue des Lauves)” (1902–06) and “Foliage (Étude de feuillage)” (1900–04)

modern artist Paul Cézanne’s rarely exhibited artworks on paper

aul Cézanne is much lauded for his oil paintings such as “The Basket of Apples” and “The Boy in a Red Vest,” but few may realize that the post-impressionist painter completed some of his most revolutionary artworks on paper using pencil and watercolor. Cézanne Drawing brings together more than 200 of these rarely seen pieces at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City for a oncein-a-generation experience, the first time a U.S. exhibition presents Cézanne’s lesser-known body of work. The French artist’s works are on view from June 6 through September 25. The exhibition examines how Cézanne’s graphic works radically contributed to his development as a modern artist and emphasizes his use of particular materials and techniques to generate meaning. Museumgoers can view study sheets, exposing a range of distinct subjects depicted in different scales, styles, orientations and perspectives, as well as sketchbooks featuring intimate portrayals of his family members and household objects, the natural world, lively renderings of bathers and more. Rarely seen, large-scale watercolor paintings reveal a cultivated relationship between pencil and watercolor, where graphite lines and watercolor washes converge and diverge. —LAUREN WATZICH ■

merican artist David Hammons will finally unveil his public art project commission “Day’s End,” installed near the Whitney Museum in the Meatpacking District’s Hudson River Park, this summer. The air y 373-foot-long, 50-foot-tall structure built on the Gansevoort Peninsula will be one of the largest public art installations in New York City. The open construction takes the form of an armature-like structure and pays homage to a shed that used to exist on Pier 52. In 1975, the site-specific artist Gordon Matta-Clark cut pieces out of that structure’s walls, ceiling and f loor for an artwork also titled “Day’s End.” Hammons’ shoreline work, which extends over the water, will be a glorious place to visit, with sunset views of the Hudson River waterfront. “The Whitney hopes to set forth on this journey with David Hammons, an internationally acclaimed artist with longtime ties to the Museum and deep roots in New York,” says the museum’s director, Adam D. Weinberg. “Just steps away from the Whitney, ‘Day’s End’ will bring a part of this neighborhood’s creative history to life and make what we believe will be an important contribution to our community and the city.” —NATASHA WOLFF ■ DUJOUR.COM 51 SUMMER 2021

Rest in Greece With Greece opening up its borders to

tourists, the Aegean beckons this summer. Here’s your ultimate guide to where to go and the newest luxurious properties to stay while you’re there BY NATASHA WOLFF

Greece is open for the summer season. While still requiring visitors to follow all COVID-19 protocols and either be fully vaccinated or provide a negative PCR test before arriving, the Aegean coast is one of few European destinations that’s accepting American tourists. And you can fly in style this summer: Emirates Airlines has announced it will resume its daily services to Athens via Newark. The Dubai-Athens-Newark flight will operate daily with a three-class Boeing 777-300ER providing year-round connectivity. “Since the route’s launch in 2017, we’ve seen Greece continue to be a leading destination for U.S. travelers, especially during the summer months,” says Essa Sulaiman Ahmad, Emirates’ divisional vice president for the U.S. and Canada. “The resumption of this route is particularly exciting as we’ll be able to reconnect one of America’s largest metropolitan areas and Dubai through one of Europe’s greatest capitals.” Whether you stay on the mainland (Athens), head to the Cycladic islands (think Mykonos, Antiparos, Santorini and Syros) or venture to more off-the-beaten path islands like Corfu and Crete, there’s a new hotel for every kind of traveler.

SOHO ROC HOUSE The first Greek outpost from the London-based hospitality group Soho House has landed in Mykonos. The 45 minimal, beachy rooms boast an earthy palette, rattan armchairs and lampshades, kilim cushions and weathered wooden console tables.

T HESE DAYS, WHEN MOST YOUNG HOLLYWOOD STARS ATTEMPT to expand their resumes, it’s usually into areas like pop music, fashion design or podcasts. Lili Reinhart, the 24-year-old Ohio-born actress probably best known for playing the iconic Betty Cooper on the Archie Comics CW hit Riverdale, is doing things a little bit differently. Last fall, she published her first book of poetry, Swimming Lessons. The poems—some of them only a few lines—tackle Reinhart’s experiences with love, friendship, anxiety and trying to make her way in the world. “I’m not a masterful poet by any means,” says Reinhart, who adds that sharing Swimming Lessons with her fans was both “vulnerable” and “experimental.” “I’m still not 100 percent confident in who I am as a writer. People tell me they really relate to the poetry, and that’s all I could ask for.” And during the pandemic, which she has mostly spent in Vancouver on the set of Riverdale, she has started practicing reiki, a kind of energy healing. Now that she has finally found the free time to take private lessons, she is well on her way to becoming a reiki master herself. “It’s about channeling your intuition, your third eye and your powers,” says Reinhart, who is now able to perform reiki both longdistance and in person. “It’s about clearing the energy that gets stuck in your body.” Reinhart is aware that some people might see this spiritual practice as New Age woo-woo nonsense, “but I’m not here to convince the nonbelievers about it,” she explains. “If you go into it skeptically, it’s probably not going to work. But it’s a beautiful healing experience, and you’re inherently doing healing on yourself.” Practicing reiki long-distance has also been a way for Reinhart to stay close with her friends and family during production. Because Riverdale films in Canada, she has mostly had to stay there for the last nine and a half months, due to border controls and COVID-19 protocols. Though she went back to Los Angeles for Christmas, she couldn’t see her family in North Carolina. “It was the first year of my life that I wasn’t with my family on Thanksgiving and Christmas,” explains Reinhart. “I can’t have that much of a pity party [for myself] because the entire world is dealing with this, but it’s been a long season. We feel the isolation of being here. I know how lucky I am to have this job and I’m thankful to be working.”

It helps that the cast and crew of Riverdale is like a family away from her actual family. She’s especially close to Madelaine Petsch, who plays Cheryl Blossom, and Camila Mendes, who plays Veronica. “We’ve leaned on each other through this time, and we’re just getting closer,” says Reinhart of her female co-stars. “But we still miss our families and, ironically, we all bought homes in Los Angeles this last year and we’re not able to be in them.” In the early days of the pandemic, when Riverdale (and the world) was on hiatus, Reinhart purchased her first home in the Valley. “I needed a yard,” she says. Her mother told her she had time to look, and so she did. At first, Reinhart was sleeping in her new home on an air mattress, and there’s still a lot to be done—including more furniture and art for the walls. But while she’s not using her new abode, she told her friends back in L.A., “Go enjoy my house while I can’t.” “It makes me feel good that I have a spot that my friends can use,” Reinhart says. Since March 2020, Reinhart explains, “I have been on a large self-discovery journey, which has been amazing.” For the first part of quarantine, she was able to spend quality time with close friends off-set. “That was a game-changer for me,” she says. She also painted, mostly f lowers. “I love f lowers,” she says. And on the day we spoke, Reinhart got her fifth tattoo, “a third eye with a little rose,” which she showed off to her whopping 29 million followers on Instagram. “I’m definitely not the same person I was when I had to f lee Canada [in March 2020],” says Reinhart. “My focus has been on myself, looking inward and trying to grow.” This last year has grounded her, she says. It’s helped her be more present: “I’ve been working on taking the pressure off myself, and stress doesn’t affect me as much,” she explains. There was a period a few months ago where she became too focused on working out and obsessed with her body image. “I think I had too much time on my hands. I’m single, so I’m very zeroed in on me right now,” says Reinhart, who is also a CoverGirl makeup ambassador. “I was really being hard on myself for not working out a certain way or eating a certain way. And I just had to say, ‘It’s a fucking pandemic. I need to give myself a fucking break. I am doing just fine. I need to cut myself some slack.’” “I’m never going to have abs,” Reinhart continues. “Abs are made in the kitchen, and I had Dairy Queen and chicken parm last night. And that’s okay. I’m learning to accept that in myself. I’m not a fitness model. I’m never going to be able to maintain that. I’m not going to not eat the ice cream.” More than other social media platforms, she has found inspiration on TikTok in the “beautiful community of all shapes and sizes cheering each other on. It’s not amazing to see someone on Instagram calling me fat, but people are never going to stop bodyshaming. It’s a matter of what I can do to make myself feel better about that. My body is a journey that I have with myself.” Part of that journey continues to be expressing herself through poems. “I’ve written a lot since” publishing Swimming Lessons, she says; poems “that are a lot better.” “I don’t know if I’m ready to share them,” Reinhart says. “Though if they can help someone, great. That’s better than having them sit on my phone.” ■

“The former chopped-up side entry and tiny kitchen were combined to make a long, generous kitchen and built-in banquette with a moody palette and textures to contrast with the bright white stucco and abundant light,” says architect Jill Lewis. The tone-on-tone kitchen palette centers around Dacor black stainless appliances, with European Touch custom cabinets in Italian black laminate, a deeply ridged, glazed gray backsplash tile, off-white Caesarstone countertops and a nearly 15-foot-long island covered with a deeply veined granite from Arizona Tile. Design Within Reach barstools, built-in booth and a CB2 white cement table offer plenty of seating options.

HE THUNDERBIRD COUNTRY CLUB AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST 18-HOLE GOLF course in the California desert in 1951 took the sleepy desert town of Rancho Mirage and turned it into a sexy, luxurious community for famous faces like Bing Crosby, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz and Frank Sinatra. At the same time, the mid-century modernist movement was gaining popularity, and architects like A. Quincy Jones, William F. Cody and Wallace Neff were designing homes for boldface names in the sunny enclave. Architect Jill Lewis had worked in Palm Springs, California, before, but was living outside of the United States when Ron Hixson and John Falcone called her with a project they had in mind. The couple had been splitting their time between Hawaii and Rancho Mirage and had recently purchased a 1952 home in the Thunderbird Country Club Estates section. “The Barry Estate, located near the eighth hole of the golf course, needed some major updates. The first owner of the home was New York congressman Robert R. Barry, who organized the Dwight D. Eisenhower presidential campaign for the West Coast, and hosted not only Eisenhower but guests such as Betty and Gerald Ford,” says Lewis. “The first time I visited the property, I was immediately struck by the potential for a beautiful mountain view that was currently cut off by a low ceiling height in the main living area. We quickly agreed that if they were going to invest in this property, we had to get the proportions right, so raising the roof of the main living area became the largest gesture in our scope of work.” The Hollywood Regency-style home didn’t mesh well with the 1952 architecture, and thus the couple tasked Lewis with cleaning up the f loor plan. “Over the years, there were multiple renovations that had compromised the function of several spaces, and the rear garden was nothing but a large expanse of sand with a quirky

“John wanted a desk in the center of the action, so we conceived of a large floating desk surface suspended from a black metal screen by Tremblay Iron Works and European Touch cabinetry to define the space and allow filtered light and views to pass between,” says Lewis. ModShop chairs add softness to the space.

rhombus-shaped pool,” she explains. “In addition to the major structural gesture of removing and reframing the roof of the living space, we added a large sliding door for an effortless indoor-outdoor connection to the garden.” Bringing in natural light and adding lush greenery outdoors was paramount to the clients (and their two Norwich terriers). Citrus trees, a cactus garden with mature palm trees and a poured concrete fire pit added plant life and made the outside more appealing. Lewis brought in her frequent collaborator, Scott Cullens of Palm Pacific Construction, as general contractor to renovate the modern, elegant and comfortable home with masculine finishes. “They wanted to exploit the best features of the property, taking advantage of views, the dramatic light, the potential for an incredible indoor-outdoor experience and the mid-century bones of the house,” says Lewis. “They were drawn to clean lines, pareddown details and highly disciplined palettes of white, grey and matte black. We generally opted for deep, muted colors balanced with crisp white, adding texture to create patterns with the shifting daylight throughout the house.” A terrazzo-like large-format porcelain tile from Spain was used throughout, introducing some soft gray in contrast to the white walls and matte black metal wall accents. Furnishing a house during a pandemic presented a few challenges. “With almost no ability to travel together to visit showrooms, we ordered some custom-made pieces from MJ Custom Furniture in Rancho Mirage (the dining banquette and the upholstered wall-mounted headboards in the two bedrooms) and sourced the remaining items online, using fabric swatches and photographs and assembling it all into digital mood boards to confirm choices,” says Lewis. “Our design decisions were driven by the mountain views that line the horizon, the beautiful surrounding landscape, plentiful sunlight and the incredible architectural history of the neighborhood.” Restoring and highlighting the best features of the mid-century bones of the house while adding durable, classic materials that will endure for years was the goal of this project. “Throughout the design process, we constantly edited our palette, believing a pared-down, soothing collection of finishes playing with the light and shadow would achieve a peaceful and elegant home that would stand the test of time and honor the landscape of the surrounding area,” says Lewis. ■

ESPITE BEING BORN TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL TOP GUN CAME OUT IN 1986, Glen Powell has powerful memories of watching the film with his father as a child. “It was like playing catch with my dad for the first time,” says Powell over Zoom from a Savannah, Georgia, film set. “I felt him looking over at me while I was watching it, watching my reaction to it.” For the Texas-bred actor, aviation was an early obsession; he grew up with Blue Angels posters on his wall and developed a love of planes from an early age. When he first heard about the sequel, he lobbied hard to be involved. “Tom Cruise is one of the reasons I wanted to get into acting,” he says. “So many pilots became pilots because of Top Gun, and so many actors became actors because of Tom Cruise in this film.” So he did what any hungry actor would and chased his dream until it became a reality. In Top Gun: Maverick, out this November, Powell plays Hangman, a character who, he says, is “the best pilot in the Navy” and has as much confidence as Maverick, the role Cruise is revisiting. Extreme training was required, and when Powell arrived on set (the movie was filmed in and around naval bases in Nevada and California), he was already ready to go. “We had to learn how to fly F-18 airplanes,” says Powell. “I was doing so much prep on this film, so when Day 1 came, Hangman was ready to go.” But stepping into such an iconic franchise wasn’t always easy. “I think whenever you’re trying to tread on hallowed ground, you feel like there’s no way to beat it,” Powell says. “But I’ll say this: I think this is the greatest movie ever made: it’s adventure, heart, comedy, it’s just epic. Plus we have 35 years and the benefit of Tom Cruise’s career behind us.” The 32-year-old Powell is as charming and gregarious in person as he is on the screen. He’s shown range in roles such as astronaut John Glenn in Hidden Figures, a preppy frat boy in the horror comedy series Scream Queens and an assistant who sets up his demanding boss in the romantic comedy Set It Up, but now his action star status is cemented. In addition to the impression he’s made on audiences, he’s also charmed his co-stars. “Besides his obvious talent, I loved the fact that he brought his family along with him,” says Octavia Spencer, Powell’s co-star in Hidden Figures. “I’ll never forget when we were working one day, during the cut, he introduced his family. He said, ‘The Powells are a traveling band. They come to all of my sets.’ They all laughed and lit up the room with their signature megawatt smiles.”

— Glen Powell

Growing up in Austin, Powell’s father regularly took him to the movies, and Powell started acting as a teenager. One of his early roles was in the 2007 film The Great Debaters, directed by Denzel Washington. Powell recounts some early encouragement from his director: “Denzel pulled me aside and said, ‘I think you should really give this a shot. I think you got it.’” He took the advice to heart and moved to Hollywood after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin (following in the footsteps of another proud Texan and fellow Longhorn, Matthew McConaughey—a comparison Powell doesn’t mind at all). “Watching Glen curate his resume has been impressive,” says his co-star Jon Hamm. “He’s a hard worker, smart and a super handsome guy with a great head of hair. He’s a classic leading man, but what I’m most impressed by is that he generates his own material. He doesn’t come off as privileged or entitled and he’s willing to put the sweat equity into his projects.” Outside of acting, Powell is currently developing projects and producing. He’s collaborating with another Texan, director Richard Linklater, on two Texas-based films: the animated Apollo 10 ½ alongside Jack Black and a true-crime drama based on a Texas Monthly article that Powell and Linklater are writing together. “I love putting real figures on the map,” says Powell. “Kevin Costner told me that ‘movies are your epitaph,’ and people will still watch your movies after you’ve passed. I take that responsibility seriously. There’s an aspect of making sure that we’re putting out something in the world, and there’s a lot of power in that storytelling.” The last 18 months have given him a break from movie sets, but he hasn’t been sitting around doing nothing. “I got my pilot’s license right before COVID-19 hit,” he says. “And I was saved by the bell, because I was able to f ly all over when other people were stuck at home. Palm Springs, Napa, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe—I thought, ‘Man, this is the life.’ It definitely taught me how to thrill seek and get the most out of every day.” But he hasn’t had to go it alone. Things have gotten serious with his girlfriend, Miami-bred model Gigi Paris, during lockdown—a time when new relationships can go either way. “My little sister, Leslie, was living with me and my girlfriend in Los Angeles when shelter-in-place rules started and we were all quarantined together. Then Leslie moved out, and she’s so fun and hilarious that I was worried that my girlfriend wouldn’t like me anymore without her in the mix. But she did, and I feel I’m the beneficiary of a very positive COVID relationship.” Again, he cites his mentor and co-star Cruise, with whom he texts regularly, as the inspiration for a career and life well lived. “I love that adventurous spirit and fierce dedication that Tom has. He never wallows and manages to do it all.” And, clearly, so does Powell. ■

y the spring of 1965, nascent rock bands were beginning to flex their undeniable commercial muscle in the studio, demanding the hours, and sometimes the days, to realize their latest pitch to posterity, no matter how many rolls of the dice it took. In April, The Kinks went into the studio to cut not one but two singles— “Set Me Free” and “See My Friends”—trying to replicate a streak of three consecutive number ones between August 1964 and February 1965. When “See My Friends” came out a little too experimental, they returned three weeks later, and cut a klassic. A week after that remake, The Rolling Stones tried cutting their latest, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” at Chess in Chicago, and when that didn’t work, took it to LA to break the mould. The Who would record “My Generation” no fewer than four times between August 16th and October 13th, trying to ensure they didn’t f-f-fade away. Even the ever-efficient Beatles recut breakthrough song “Norwegian Wood” nine days after spending four and a half hours working on it, the day before The Who definitively defined their generation. Such is the musical context surrounding the two afternoons it took to capture “Like a Rolling Stone” ( June 15th/16th) after Dylan temporarily abandoned the song at the end of day one without capturing a complete take, the blame for which has been placed squarely at Tom Wilson’s door by one vital component, about whom early on the 15th Dylan tells us, mid-song, the woman killing him alive “ain’t as good as this guitar player I got right now”: Michael Bloomfield: The producer was a non-producer ... a black guy named Tom Wilson. He didn’t know what was happening, man! … We did twenty alternate takes

of every song, and it got ridiculous because they were long songs ... It was never like: “Here’s one of the tunes, we’re gonna learn it, work out the arrangement,” that just wasn’t done … It was just like a jam session, it really was. … I was there man, I’m telling you it was a result of chucklefucking, of people stepping on each other’s dicks until it came out right. It was certainly déjà vu for Wilson and Dylan, who were presiding over their second session in five weeks to result in no product worth a Columbia label. But to suggest Dylan was wholly the injured party would be to deny his complicity in the chaos. Before the first session, he had already made a critical misjudgement, instructing Bloomfield, “You talk to the musicians, man. I don’t want to tell them anything.” Bloomfield, for all his undoubted talent, was a mere studio novice. With the exception of this diffident bluesmaker, the musicians were all veterans of January’s sessions: Bobby Gregg, Joseph Macho, Al Gorgoni, Frank Owen and Paul Griffin. Michael Bloomfield: All these studio cats are standing around. I come in like a dumb punk with my guitar over my back, no case, and I’m telling people about this and that, and this is the arrangement and do this on the bridge. These are like the heaviest studio musicians in New York. They looked at me like I was crazy … But Bob remained completely isolated from that. He just sang his tunes and they fitted the music around him … I never saw any communication

Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” was released by Columbia Records on July 20, 1965, but it was a grueling process to make it into the iconic ballad beloved by millions in the years that followed. In the new biography The Double Life of Bob Dylan: A Restless, Hungry Feeling, 1941-1966 (Little, Brown and Company), Clinton Heylin writes about how the American singer-songwriter was depleted and exhausted following a grueling U.K. tour and struggled to produce a version of the song that both he and his record label were happy with. Years later, Rolling Stone magazine would list the song as No. 1 in its “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” ranking, but at the time, it was a problematic track. Here Heylin explores this stressful songwriting period in the artist’s life.

between Dylan and the band. … I could probably have put a more formal rock ’n’ roll sound to it, or at least my idea of one, but I was too intimidated by that company. Nor does Dylan seem to have fully processed the chastening experience at Levy’s, having again arrived at a session with only one finished song and, in Bloomfield’s words, “No game plan. The day before, he was still writing the songs.” When Dylan successfully completes the second semiimprovised blues jam of the day, he actually boasts, “We recorded that song and I don’t even have any words for it, man!” The song in question “(Sitting on a) Barbed Wire Fence,” was a semi-improvised piano boogie searching for a home. Yet the session had started promisingly with a complete first take of “Phantom Engineer” that steams into town fuelled up by Dylan’s pounding piano. The musicians were used to Dylan’s rapid-fire methodolDylan with Columbia ogy, shuttling from song to song, refusing Records to get bogged down. But this time it took publicist Billy ten takes, four of them complete, to get James in 1965 “Phantom Engineer,” and six takes, three of them complete, to get “Barbed Wire Fence.” Only at this juncture does Dylan bring in the main course, “Like a Rolling Stone,” still in waltz time (3/4) and in need of an arrangement. Five takes are logged on that first day, but it is mostly a case of Levy’s Revisited, the musicians “just messing around” until Wilson calls time on the day’s work, rightly sensing that they would need a full three-hour session the following afternoon to get this one right. At least he had already introduced one innovation—an important one—possibly at Dylan’s behest: continually running tape. So when, after a couple of rehearsals, a musician calls out, “Are we rolling?” Wilson can say, “Yeah, we’re continually rolling,” thus allowing us fifty years later to hear the transition from chucklefucking to pure serendipity. It confirms what Bloomfield later admitted, “It happened almost by mistake”; day two, remake take four. Enter Al Kooper, who has pointed out, “You can hear Tom Wilson [say], ‘OK, this is take seven [sic]. Hey! What are you doing in there?’ … That was the moment he could have just thrown me out and rightfully so. And you know what? He didn’t.” At the time that Kooper commandeered the organ stool, they still haven’t managed a full take of “Rolling Stone.” In fact, day two starts with Dylan in reflective mood, muttering into the mike (and maybe to himself ), “I’m just me, you know. I can’t, really, man. I’m just playing the song. I don’t want to scream it, that’s all I know.”* Frank Owen has gone, as has Al Gorgoni—evidently both Dylan’s decision. In their place, he has brought in “Tambourine Man” himself, Langhorne, on stand-by. But when Dylan switches to guitar—possibly at the suggestion of Grossman, who asks to hear just his guitar in the mix—and Griffin to piano, there is suddenly a great gaping hole where the organ once was. Kooper, who had snuck into the session hoping to supplant Gorgoni, seizes the moment and ends up replacing Owen. Immediately, the organ makes its presence felt. It also frees Griffin to play all around the song, masking the moments where bass and/or drums lose their way. One more rehearsal, in which Gregg finally finds a use for that snare drum—the one which “sounded like somebody’d kicked open the door to your mind,” to quote Bruce Springsteen—then, ker-pow. Even hearing “Remake Take Four” now, surrounded by false starts, breakdowns and car crashes, it comes out of nowhere. And goes straight back there. Another eleven takes will be logged, only one of them complete. But having exhausted everything in his locker, Dylan pushes the envelope to see how far it can go. This far. Time to hear the playback, and get some feedback. The studio has begun to fill with friends and other strangers. Even John Hammond Jr has popped in with a Canadian guitarist—in case they were in short supply—who, in his 2016 memoir, suggests this was the first time he met Dylan:

Robbie Robertson: [They] were listening to the playback of a song they had just cut. Sitting in the corner silently was Dion ... John went over and [greeted Dylan] … You could barely see his eyes through the dark glasses he wore, but there was high voltage in the room coming from his persona. Bob [turned] to John, “You wanna hear something … You never heard anything like this before.” The excitement in the room—captured by legendary photojournalist Eugene Smith—did not abate even when everyone decamped to Grossman’s Gramercy Park apartment with a hot-off-the-press acetate of the song. As Dylan recalled in 1987, “Different people kept coming and going and we played it on the record player all night. My music publisher [presumably Artie Mogull] just kept listening to it, shaking his head saying, ‘Wow, man, I just don’t believe this.’” Even after he drove back to Woodstock to be with his pregnant girlfriend, he still wanted people he knew to share the high. According to another displaced Village folkie, John Herald, “Anybody he knew who passed by the Cafe Espresso, Dylan would run out and say, ‘I’ve got this great new song. It’s going to be really big, you’ve got to hear it.’ Then he would take them inside and play it for them.” He also played it to his favourite ladies, though for Sally Grossman it was only when the song came “on the radio for the first time … riding around with … Sara in the car when she was pregnant” that she realized just how profound a statement her girlfriend’s husband had made. Dylan stated as much in 2000: “I didn’t feel like radio had ever played a song like that before. I know I’d never heard a song like that before. And everything I’d done up to that point had led up to writing a song like that.” ■

For a seriously unforgettable South Beach experience, the newly opened Goodtime Hotel from David Grutman of Groot Hospitality and Pharrell Williams will undoubtedly deliver. The 266-room hotel was designed by architect Morris Adjmi and designer Ken Fulk with landscape design by Raymond Jungles. “My first hotel needed to break the mold,” says Grutman. “This is about providing a getaway within a town that’s already known as a vacation spot. When you arrive at the hotel and walk through our doors, it becomes a full-on adventure. I am proud to have worked closely with Pharrell to bring that vision to life.” The team worked in tandem to create a unique world featuring calming, pastel-hued accommodations, an art deco–inspired restaurant and pool club called Strawberry Moon and an energetic mid-century modern lounge, The Library, as well as an indoor/outdoor fitness center with Peloton stationary bikes and TechnoGym Skillrun Treadmills. “We want the Goodtime Hotel to impart a feeling of both revitalization and that rare, exciting thrill that takes over when you discover something special,” says Williams. “It’s that adrenaline-fueled sensation of entering a whole new setting and a whole new mindset. This place will provide a natural good time for all who come through.” The entire property feels like a visual love letter to the city of Miami, with the best of vibrant entertainment and dining. Strawberry Moon serves up classic and casual Mediterranean fare and a full array of specialty cocktails for lunch and dinner, inside or poolside (from the comfort of your daybed or cabana). “The Goodtime Hotel promotes an active, balanced lifestyle of equal parts happy pursuits and relaxed escapism, all within an everything-at-your-fingertips tropical oasis,” Grutman says. thegoodtimehotel.com

Osmia’s Lip Doctor, Purely Gentle Mud Cleanser, Naked Body Mousse and Nectar Vital Rose Drops

he Carbondale, Colorado-based beauty brand Osmia was founded nine years ago by Dr. Sarah Villafranco. Through her research and treatment, Dr. Villafranco has become an expert in skin conditions like perioral dermatitis (from which she suffers) and acne. “When Osmia launched in 2012, there were only a handful of clean brands, and even fewer in the luxury category,” says Dr. Villafranco. “Now, the market is brimming with clean brands, although very few have our level of ingredient standards. As new brands continue to emerge, we’re grateful for the reputation we’ve built in the industry when it comes to transparency, commitment to quality, sustainability and truth.” Handcrafted in small batches, the product line features fan favorites like Black

Clay Facial Soap, Purely Simple Face Cream, Nectar Vital Rose Drops and Lip Doctor lip balm. “I just couldn’t find other products that didn’t aggravate my face,” she says. The brand has a quiz on its website designed to point people to two or three products based on their skin’s current needs. “We like to start people with a very simple routine so their skin can adjust slowly to the new products,” says Dr. Villafranco. “Once they’re seeing good results, they have the option to add in more steps or keep it simple and sweet for the long haul.” No matter your age, Osmia’s products and ethos are designed for everyone. “I got tired of the ‘you have to look 23 and perfect forever’ mindset in the skincare industry,” she explains. “Our products are made to bring out both your healthiest skin and your biggest, most authentic smile—at every age.” osmiaorganics.com

Alexis Rockman with the works he created for the film Life of Pi

GALLERY GUIDE . East Hampton arts center Guild Hall has lots in store this summer. The first, Alexis Rockman: Shipwrecks, featuring more than 40 new paintings and watercolors by Alexis Rockman, opens June 12 and runs through July 26. Curated by Andrea Grover, Guild Hall’s executive director, these works by the American painter explore globalization, natural disasters, colonization and climate change. The New York– based Rockman has depicted a darkly surreal vision of the collision between civilization and nature—often apocalyptic scenarios on a monumental scale—for over three decades. “I’m fascinated by the history of the iconography of shipwrecks and nautical history,” says Rockman. “And what better place to have this bouillabaisse of tragedy, hope and despair jam-packed full of great ideas and moments. So many things can be shipwrecks.” The artist also contributed artwork to visually unique films like Life of Pi, collaborating with directors Ang Lee and Darren Aronofsky. A companion catalog by DelMonico Books will be published in June. guildhall.org

A TICKING TIME BOMB

Hamptons locals and mothers Jennifer Decker and Lisa-Jae Eggert founded 3 Moms Organics in 2018 after personal experiences with Lyme disease. They started by giving samples of their signature tick repellent, TickWise, to friends at their children’s baseball games to see how people liked the product. After some feedback and tweaking, the duo began selling TickWise at local farmers markets, looking to offer a DEET-free, family-safe insect repellent. “After our first season in business, we wanted to expand to other states so we worked to become EPA compliant,” explains Decker. “We tried many different combinations of essential oils and other ingredients before finding our current formula, which is still DEET-free and even more effective than the first iteration of the product.” Fast-forward to 2021, and TickWise is now sold in more than 300 stores. “Having both raised families in East Hampton, we learned early on the dangers of ticks and the diseases they carry,” says Eggert. “The tick problem has gotten so bad in East Hampton that you cannot even step onto your lawn without finding at least one crawling up your leg. Almost anyone you ask from East Hampton would say they have had at least one tick-borne disease in their lifetime.” 3momsorganics.com

LongHouse Reserve, the 16-acre nature reserve and outdoor sculpture garden in East Hampton founded by the late, great Jack Lenor Larsen, has reopened with new works on display. On view this season are two bluestone boulders onto which poetic phrases were carved by legendary poet, activist and artist John Giorno, who passed away in 2019. The two outdoor sculptures, “Do the Undone” (2019) and “You Can’t Hurt Me Cause Storms Can’t Hurt the Sky” (2019), are installed amongst daffodils in the vast garden, a lovely tribute to the New York artist, who spent his summers in Mattituck on the North Fork. He’s perhaps best known for his text paintings of recent decades, which feature curt and contradictory messages excerpted from his poetry—imperative, deadpan, sacred and sometimes profane. With their ironic clash of immaterial language and solid substance, these stone poems play with issues of transience and permanence, the text fragments appearing as chance apparitions. longhouse.org

THE GOODTIME HOTEL

PURPLE’S REIGN The director of VIP relations for Groot Hospitality is the man to know in Miami

rom Virgil Abloh and the Jonas Brothers to Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, Purple has hobnobbed with every big star who comes to town. As the director of VIP relations for Groot Hospitality for the past 13 years, Purple is tasked with maintaining the scenes and status of nightclubs and restaurants like Liv, Swan, Komodo, Story, Papi Steak—and now The Goodtime Hotel. Purple, who got the moniker for his predilection for wearing purple T-shirts as the new kid in his elementary school, got his start guarding the velvet rope at Miami’s hottest venues like Mansion, Opium, Crobar, Oxygen, Dream and Dolce. After coming to the U.S. from Costa Rica with his family in 1994, he started throwing house parties in high school. “When I turned 21, I was able to go to South Beach and, as I got older, my crowd got older and moved to South Beach with me. There weren’t promoters at that point, so I was working at three clubs in one night.” A meeting with David Grutman and Joe Lopez changed the trajectory of his career and he soon started working at Liv. “Dave is one of my biggest

mentors and champions,” says Purple. “He’s brought me under his wing and is always teaching me how to grow and lead.” But, being Purple is a 24/7 job with very little time off or away from his phone. “I’m so used to it that it’s second nature by now,” he says. “If I’m not bothered by calls, I’m not doing my job.” His Instagram, which shows off behind-the-scenes aspects of his work and life, has garnered 244,000 followers. “It happened super organically and it’s something I can do that’s special,” he says. “I can show a Miami that no one else sees.” Purple is extremely health conscious (he maintains a vegan diet) and doesn’t party himself: he’s often found leaving the club at 4 A.M. and heading to a Barry’s Bootcamp class at 6 A.M. “I’ve always said that my health is my biggest wealth,” he says. “I was always was the sporty, healthy guy, never the party guy, and sports always helped me stay clear of bad influences. When everyone else was out drinking and doing drugs, I was running track and playing basketball.” groothospitality.com

The best way to travel to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard is on Tradewind Aviation, a U.S.-based aircraft operator providing private charter service and shuttle flights along the Northeast and the Caribbean. “We are seeing a much shorter booking window, but our clients are focused more on longer trips than ever before—this was true for last summer as well,” says David Zipkin, Tradewind Aviation’s founding member and vice president. Tradewind flies Citation CJ light jets and Pilatus PC-12 turboprop planes on this route, and with concerns about health and safety, coupled with fewer airline options these days, many travelers are discovering private charter for the first time. “We are well-positioned for this new market, offering lower-cost entry points with our unique fleet,” says Zipkin. As far as safety and health are concerned, Tradewind has implemented new protocols to minimize the risk of exposure to the virus. “Aircraft interiors are cleaned between each flight and deep-cleaned on a regular basis,” Zipkin explains. “The air circulation in our aircraft is quite similar to that of an airline, where the air is completely replaced every few minutes.” f lytradewind.com

After a $50 million renovation, the waterfront Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa has reopened with a gorgeous new look. With architecture by WATG and interior design by Wimberly Interiors, the 327 guest rooms and suites received a modern makeover enhancing the resort’s manicured landscape and beautiful surroundings. “We were fortunate to partner with WATG and Wimberly Interiors on the transformation of the resort,” says the hotel’s general manager, Geoff Gray. “The imagination and integration of their design vision helped curate an effortless spirit of modernity that is a signature of the Park Hyatt brand.” While several dining experiences were added to the resort during the transformation, the newest restaurant just recently made its debut. The signature restaurant, Ember & Rye, was created in collaboration with celebrated chef Richard Blais. Ember & Rye embraces its natural lighting and colorful views by incorporating vibrant furnishings and brass and black accents, creating a cool juxtaposition between modern and vintage. From the comprehensive whiskey library offerings for a post-golf drink to the creative menu featuring regional ingredients from local farmers, fishermen and foragers, Ember & Rye is a versatile addition to the resort’s dining options. parkhyattaviara.com

en years ago, entrepreneur Anthony Katz sought to democratize recovery technology and empower athletes to care for their bodies. “At that time, athletes were not really implementing technology into their recovery—they were mostly doing things like ice baths, manual massages and icing their joints,” says Katz. “The technology that was being used back then was more for injury rehab and came in the form of medical devices that cost thousands of dollars and were mostly administered by training or medical staff, not the athlete themselves.” So, Katz founded Hyperice, a recovery and movement enhancement technology company specializing in vibration, percussion and thermal technology. Their first product was called the Hyperice, named after Kobe Bryant’s Nike Hyperdunk sneaker. Now, the Irvine-based brand’s technology is used by everyone from the world’s most elite professional athletes (think LeBron James, Naomi Osaka and Kelly Slater) to rehabilitation and fitness facilities around the world. “For the brand to work, we needed to create a suite of products that would be innovative, user-friendly, portable and accessible to as many people as possible,” says Katz. “It was clear that if the products were pro athlete-approved, anyone could benefit.” The company chose Southern California for its headquarters because the community is so active and health conscious. The brand is in global expansion mode, and its partnerships with the NBA and the Los Angeles Lakers have broadened the brand’s reach in Asia and Europe. In March 2020, Hyperice acquired Normatec, innovators of cutting-edge dynamic compression systems, and in December 2020 acquired RecoverX, pioneers of intelligent thermal technologies, to deliver world-class performance and wellness solutions. “Over the past few years, we’ve worked to move the technology from the locker room onto the field and now into the consumer’s homes,” says the brand’s CEO, Jim Huether. hyperice.com

ROOM REQUEST A new boutique hotel, the Ray from Menin Development, opens in Delray Beach

or years, Delray Beach had been the little sister of neighboring Palm Beach. But in the last decade, it has been transformed into a glittery cultural hub for both locals and visitors. The invigorated Atlantic Avenue is teeming with a bustling spirit and a beachy-cool energy. The walkable coastal avenue is dotted with restaurants, boutiques and beauty, fitness and wellness-focused businesses. With many hospitality, residential and commercial projects under construction, the luxury space is ready to keep expanding. A number of the most revered outposts along Atlantic Avenue are thanks to Menin Development, the Delray Beach–based, privately owned developer and manager of commercial real estate properties. The company has had its feet firmly planted in luxury hospitality since CEO and founder Craig Menin opened its doors in 1985; today, it is bringing a real estate–focused mindset to the revitalization of Delray Beach.

The Ray, one of the newest luxury hotels set to open in Delray Beach, tapped a trifecta of talent to bring its tropical-inspired, design-centric atmosphere to life. Guests are welcomed by lush, living walls, large-scale art installations and rooftop gardens that create a luxurious escape. The hotel marries interior designs by Virserius Studio, Studio Munge and Celano Design to execute the stunning vision in a beautiful and sustainable way.

its own rooftop. The standalone space is separate from the main building and is surrounded by a glass curtain wall system creating the illusion of a floating cube. Located just two blocks off Atlantic Avenue, The Ray will bring a designcentered luxury to the neighborhood while mirroring Menin’s focus on highquality food, atmosphere and entertainment. From stylish guestrooms to innovative rooftop experiences, The Ray is a modern tropical oasis that flawlessly blends chic design with sustainability and local experiences. “We have a unique opportunity to create memorable experiences for the city in a variety of ways,” says Menin. “With the architectural and design-focused boutique hotel concept of The Ray, we are invigorating the city further and creating job growth along the way.” therayhotel.com

What do you love most about the materials you use, including resin? I have always loved resin, since it is very versatile and can take on many qualities. It can look like colorful sea glass or it can look like fine porcelain, stone or marble. The material looks delicate, but the applications are endless. Tell us about your latest collection. I am so happy about the new Mushroom Lamp that just launched. We have one in our house, and I absolutely love the overall shape and color. There is a certain chubby cuteness and comfort to the large proportions and the light it emits.

A BEAUTIFUL MIND Resin artist and designer Tina Frey talks about her newest creations

BY JENNIE NUNN

PORTRAIT AND STORE: BRUCE DAMONTE

ourteen years ago, Tina Frey, founder and creative director of TF Design, changed course from a successful career in finance to follow her heart in art and design. “I had to forget about all the practical self-limiting beliefs and fears around security,” says the Hong Kong–born designer who grew up in Alberta, Canada. She launched her company with a series of handsculpted clay and resin bowls. “I was passionate about what I was doing, but it can be hard at times, since you are working very hard. It really required some perseverance. But I am glad I followed my dreams, stuck with it, and made it happen.” Now dividing her time between San Francisco and Montecito (she opened her flagship store there last year), Frey fills us in on her ideal road trip and her latest collection of mushroom-shaped table lamps and moss-hued stools. tinafreydesigns.com

The Golden Egg Fabergé looks to its illustrious past to create a modern-day heirloom

BY EDWARD ESPITIA

“

xpensive things interest me little if the value is merely in so many diamonds and pearls.” said Peter Carl Fabergé. This quote would come to represent the DNA of Fabergé, a house known for its painstakingly exquisite craftsmanship and dedication to tradition. Of the 200,000 objets d’art made by Fabergé, only 50 of them are the Russian imperial eggs that would make the house’s name renowned throughout the world. The tradition began when Tsar Alexander III commissioned Fabergé to make an Easter egg as a gift for his wife, the Empress Maria Feodorovna. The egg was designed to deceive and delight, a gold egg enrobed in white enamel to look like an average chicken’s egg. Upon closer inspection, one can see that the egg pulls apart to reveal a golden yolk, which in turn opens to produce a golden hen that opens to reveal a miniature of the Imperial Crown containing a ruby egg. The Third Imperial Egg has become one of the most well-known of the collection in recent years. In 2010, a scrap metal buyer purchased the Louis XVI-style egg at a flea market for $13,000. He purchased it exclusively for the gold, intending to melt it down. He later learned that it was, in fact, one of the lost Fabergé eggs made for the Russian imperial family. The f luted gold egg was valued at $33,000,000 and sold to a private buyer. These two fabled treasures are the inspiration for Fabergé’s Centenary Egg, which has been created to commemorate the 100year anniversary of Peter Carl Fabergé’s passing and pay homage to the tradition of the imperial eggs. The 18-karat gold egg will weigh exactly 10 kilograms (22 pounds), one for each decade since Fabergé’s death. The objet will be entirely f luted in a radiating sunbeam pattern set with diamonds. In the true spirit of Fabergé, it will also contain a hidden surprise of ethically sourced Gemfields Mozambican rubies and Zambian emeralds. To book a personal appointment to view the Centenary Egg, please contact sales@faberge.com .
