Bradley Cooper

Leader of the Wolf Pack If you’ve seen The Hangover, you cannot fail to have noticed Bradley Cooper. He plays the role of Phil, the alpha male and recognised leader of the ‘wolf pack’, who leads the bachelor-party excesses – pieced together the next day from flashbacks of what happened on the night before.

A combination of alcohol and drug spiked drinks create a farcical comedy – which leads the group through a series of unmitigated disasters and has been perceived by some as the role which has led to him being called an ‘overnight success’. However, despite some cynicism this film has proved itself with the public by becoming the highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever.

Through this film, Bradley is a step closer to becoming a household name, but will he be taken seriously in Hollywood?

Love him or loathe him in these roles you cannot deny his screen presence. His unconventional good looks and charisma make him a hit with both men and women alike – yet, he claims that this has been one of his hardest roles as it’s so far removed from his real-life.

However, the film’s sequel has proved to be financially lucrative for him with a reputed fee of $5m.

The sequel – The Hangover Part II sees him and the ‘pack’ continue to cause chaos but with a location switch from Las Vegas to Bangkok.

Bangkok is a city famous for its culture and sex tourism and you don’t need to be a genius to understand which area of the city this bachelor party is drawn to!

Being perceived as a comedy actor was not a direction that Bradley actively sought but it seems to suit him. His first TV appearance was in an early episode of Sex and the City as one of Sarah Jessica Parker’s long list of lovers. He was also cast as the legendary lothario and conman Faceman in the A-Team remake – a role that Dirk Benedict had made his own in the cult 80s TV series. The film, which was harder hitting than the more tongue-in-cheek TV version helped to establish his reputation as a box office attraction and built on the recognition he achieved through the Wedding Crashers in 2005 – his Hollywood breakthrough.

Following an ill-fated marriage, he has been linked with a number of beautiful women – most notably a year-long relationship with Bridget Jones actress, Renée Zellweger. However, like most of his contemporaries he keeps his private life private and for now the most important woman in his life is his mother who lives with him following his father’s death from lung cancer. You would expect Bradley to be 7

family-oriented with his background. He grew up in Philadelphia with an Italian-American mother and Irish-American father and an extended family of Italian relatives. Although supportive, his parents were wary of him going into acting due to the fickle nature of the business. However, Bradley became hooked on acting after watching John Hurt in David Lynch’s The Elephant Man. But perhaps his biggest challenge as an actor is still to come and that is avoiding being typecast. His portrayal of the charismatic rogue is something he has honed to perfection in both The Hangover and Wedding Crashers.

However, his new role in Limitless – proves there is more to Bradley’s acting skills than that. Starring opposite acting legend Robert De Niro, this role proves to be quite a departure from his usual roles and gives him a chance to prove he has got more going for him than looks and charm. In Limitless – a thriller directed by Neil Burger, he plays Eddie Morra an intellectual slacker and former cocaine addict, working as a copywriter for a small publishing house. His character finds himself in possession of a drug that has some curious effects – boosting the intellect, making him smarter, faster, more intuitive, and more charismatic.

By warding off sleep and focusing his attention, Eddie finds that with the drug he can write a book, learn a foreign language, or predict certain events by detecting patterns in vast amounts of information. However, nothing is that simple and there are side effects!

The role has seen him receive critical acclaim as well as to act opposite his hero Robert De Niro and could see him branch out into more serious films.

8

However, with his talent for comedic parts, we probably haven’t seen the end of the charismatic rogue, he plays so well.

LIBERTY – A PATTERN FOR SUCCESS The historic Liberty store first opened on 15 May 1875. Acquired by Arthur Liberty, 218A Regent Street was half a shop employing three people, a sixteen-year-old called Hannah Browning, a young Japanese boy called Hara Kitsue and William Judd who had worked with Arthur previously.

With a stock consisting of coloured silks from the East, they attracted the attention of artists and designers such as William Morris, Alma Tadema, Burne-Jones and Rosetti and, within eighteen months he acquired the second half of the shop.

In an era when the decorative arts were flourishing – Liberty, first concentrated on importing plain woven piece goods undyed: soft wools from Kashmir, filmy gauzes and fine light cottons from India and plain woven and damask silks from China and Japan. As trade developed, Arthur persuaded English textile manufacturers to weave similar fabrics. His mission – to offer people the opportunity to buy beautiful things at affordable prices.

A great triumph for Liberty came from the co-operation with Thomas Wardle a dying and printing firm based in Staffordshire. Together they worked on producing colourfast dyes in the tones of the Oriental textiles Liberty had sold so successfully. This range of shades was called ‘Art Colours’, but became known as ‘Liberty Colours’.

The shop window, full of draped silks in gradating tints became one of the sights of Regent Street.

In 1894, Arthur Liberty made Liberty a public company with a capital of £200,000.

It was fifty years after the opening of the store that the Tudor building came into being. Designed by the architects Edwin T and E Stanley Hall – they aimed to give the appearance of a series of shops rather than a single store.

LIBERTY FABRICS As well as textiles, furniture, clothing, jewellery, metal ware and ceramics were produced for and

by Liberty’s, contributing to the Liberty Style.

After the First World War, Liberty’s fabric buyer, introduced a lightweight cotton fabric, calling it Tana lawn after Lake Tana in Sudan where the cotton grew. Printed with predominantly floral designs, it became Liberty’s best selling fabric.

Production of Liberty fabrics starts in the Design Studio. The dress fabrics and scarves are designed and coloured using designs adapted from the Liberty archives, new designs from the studio and some commissioned freelance designers. Each design will be printed in several different colour ways.

Liberty fabrics are printed by the screen or rotation methods and a large proportion of Liberty fabrics are printed in the UK. A SHORT HISTORY OF LIBERTY PRINT

11

Very soon after the Liberty shop opened in Regent Street in 1875, Arthur Liberty had printed the first of the Liberty silks. This was a hand-woven Mysore silk imported from India, which was dyed in England and then hand-printed with wood blocks. Most of the prints were reproductions of old Indian prints. The small floral designs were devised in consultation with authorities at the Indian Museum. A collection of these Liberty silks was shown at the Paris Exhibition in 1878.

Liberty commissioned many distinguished artists and designers to design prints for their textiles and the range of fabrics was extended to include furnishing fabrics.

Liberty fabrics were hand-printed using wooden blocks. The hand-block printing, carried out by skilled craftsmen, made it possible to print the 12

fine paisley designs. A fine paisley shawl would take many hours to complete, with each design requiring up to 27 different blocks. Each block took two weeks to make. Later, the machine-printing process would make it possible to market Liberty prints all over the world at economic prices.

All the block and screen designs were recorded on paper to file in the archives together with fabric samples and artwork. This archive is a valuable design source. Even today, designers for Liberty visit the archive for inspiration. New designs are introduced in spring and autumn to complement the range of classic designs that are not bound to the seasons. Some of these latter designs, such as Peacock Feather, date back to the 1880s.

The fabrics are sold worldwide and Liberty fabrics currently available include: tana lawn, kingly cord, jersey, varuna wool and crepe de chine.

Chanel No 5 “It was what I was waiting for. A perfume like nothing else.

A woman’s perfume, with the scent of a woman.” Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel In 1921, a French businesswoman and Parisian socialite created a scent that revolutionised the fragrance industry. Ninety years later, Chanel No 5 is arguably still the world’s most iconic perfume.

With a healthy disregard for social etiquette and a retinue of friends and admirers among the city’s “racy” women, couturier Coco Chanel traversed the boundaries between lady and mistress. By the beginning of the twenties Chanel was already a phenomenon in French fashion circles.

In 1920, when presented with small glass vials of scent numbered 1-5 and 20-24, for her assessment, she chose the sample composition contained in the fifth vial. It is believed that Chanel told her master perfumer, Ernest Beaux, who she had commissioned to develop a fragrance with modern innovations: “I present my dress collections the fifth of May, the fifth month of the year and so we will let this sample number 5 keep the name it has already, it will bring good luck.”

Unlike many great scents, the original Chanel No 5, has never been reinterpreted for a supposedly more contemporary audience. Much time and effort is involved in ensuring that it remains exactly as it was when it was launched – perhaps the secret to its stature as the most enduringly successful fragrance in history. There is of course more to its spectacular longevity than the scent itself. Its bottle has only altered minimally since its first creation by Coco Chanel herself and is now as recognisable as Coca Cola.

With its simple square bottle and black and white label, it was the very first perfume with minimal packaging without the floral embellishments of that period. Its design expressed perfectly Coco’s aesthetic philosophy and was considered an ingenious and revolutionary marketing strategy at that time.

Recognised for its outstanding packaging design, it has earned its place in the New York Museum of Modern Art. Although Marilyn Monroe was never actually signed up by Chanel, she helped establish No 5’s allure, famously declaring that “a few drops of No 5” were all she wore to bed.

It is estimated that today, a bottle of Chanel No 5 is sold every 30 seconds somewhere in the world. Its legendary status continues…

And so Chanel No 5 was born!

It’s time for

classics

Freedom, beauty and a love of nature.

Sailing aboard a classic yacht allows one to become immersed in an ideal world.

Fired by this very conviction, panerai Officine has promoted the classic sailing culture and tradition for many years now, culminating in the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge.

Since 2005, Officine Panerai has been sponsoring the Classic Yacht Challenge Series. Over the years, the circuit has grown, extending from the Mediterranean, to include other legendary areas for sailors such as the East Coast of the United States and the waters of the Isle of Wight, which hosted the very first America’s Cup in 1851.

Today, the Panerai Classic Yachts challenge is synonymous with classic sailing worldwide, bringing together hundreds of watercraft and thousands of yacht owners, professional crews and sailing enthusiasts each year. The circuit is reserved for classic and vintage yachts, in which 500 classic sailboats including many of the most beautiful watercraft in the world challenge each other in water-courses that have made yachting history.

The North American Circuit of the Panerai Classic Yachts challenge 2011 takes place between 12 August and 4 September. It comprises of three events along the coast of New England: the Corinthian Classic Yacht Regatta in Marblehead, the Nantucket Opera House Cup and the Newport Museum of Yachting Classic Yacht Regatta.

The classes of boat admitted to the races on the circuit are defined in relation to when they were built: yachts launched before 1968 belong to the ‘Classic’ category, whilst those built after this date are in the ‘Modern Classic’ class. In both cases they must be built from wood or metal according to traditional plans and construction methods, and feature wooden or aluminium masts. Yachts built after 1968 and which do not belong to other classes but have a design inspired by classic vessels are admitted to the ‘Spirit of Tradition’ class, as are those built before 1968 but rebuilt using non-traditional materials or methods.

the Panerai Classic Yachts challenge is synonymous with classic sailing worldwide, bringing together hundreds of watercraft and thousands of yacht owners

The rating system used in every regatta is the CRF (classic rating formula).

To compete for the award of final trophy, each boat must take part in at least two of the events on the calendar, and must include the Museum of Yachting Classic Yacht Regatta.

The story of Officine Panerai began many years before it began promoting the culture of sailing with the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge. Its history tells a long journey of research and technological knowledge in the service of man and his achievements. Panerai has been prominent for its accuracy and innovation since the second half of the 19th century, when its founder Giovanni Panerai and his family ran the Orologeria watch making shop which still exists today in the centre of Florence. During the 20th century, and in particular in the years from the 1930s to the 1950s, watches and precision instruments supplied to the Italian Navy permanently defined the identity of Panerai watches, a heritage that links every single detail of a Panerai watch to the purpose for which it was designed.

The Panerai trademark is a unique combination of the brand’s tradition, Italian design and fine Swiss craftsmanship. Each new model expresses authenticity, creativity and passion: values renewed year after year in the new Panerai collections and deep-rooted in Florence and the world of sea.

31

32

As a tribute to its own historic association with the sea, each year Officine Panerai creates a special edition watch specially for the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge.

For the 2011 edition of the circuit, Officine Panerai has created the Luminor Submersible 1950 Regatta 3 Days GMT Automatic Titanio – 47 mm, a professional diver’s watch, water-resistant to 30 atmospheres (about 300 metres), fitted with a rotating bezel with a graduated scale for calculating the duration of the dive and a hand indicating the time in a second time zone.

The special edition is powered by the P.9001 automatic calibre, made entirely in the Officine Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel. The two spring barrels of this calibre accumulate a power reserve of three days, displayed on the back of the movement by a little arc-shaped indicator visible through the sapphire crystal window which closes the back. The P.9001 movement also has a function for the rapid setting of local time which enables the hour hand to be set without interfering with the operation of the minute hand. In addition it has the seconds reset function, which stops the balance and zeroes the seconds hand when synchronising the watch with a reference time signal.

The solid case 47 mm in diameter is made of brushed titanium, combining the strength and dependability of the Luminor 1950 case – fitted with the classic bridge device which protects and locks the crown – with the lightness and hypo-allergenic qualities that are characteristic of this material. The rotating bezel, which turns only in an anti-clockwise direction, is made of brushed titanium with polished edges. It carries raised dot-shaped titanium markers and black line markings for measuring the duration of a dive.

The Luminor Submersible 1950 Regatta 3 Days GMT Automatic Titanio – 47 mm (PAM00371) is produced in only 500 units and it is supplied with a black rubber strap, easily changed with the tool supplied with the watch, thanks to the special system incorporated in the lugs for replacing the strap.

The blue dial has the date window at 3 o’clock and the small seconds dial at 9 o’clock. Its simple design consists essentially of hour markers in the form of dots and bars, coated with Super-LumiNova® to ensure maximum visibility underwater. The hour and minute hands are skeletonised while that of the second time zone is black.

Please visit www.panerai.com for more information.

Panerai watches are sold exclusively through an International network of specialised authorised retailers and in Panerai boutiques.

GUCCI

Impeccably elegant looks for the modern globe-trotter

Founded as a luggage maker in 1921, Gucci is one of the world’s most famous fashion houses brought to life by Guccio Gucci, who opened his first leather goods workshop in Florence.

Today, Gucci continues to focus on strengthening the values upon which its enviable reputation has been founded for its almost 90-year history: exclusivity, quality, made in Italy, Italian craftsmanship, and fashion authority.

Setting it apart from its competitors, Gucci is able to claim a unique duality in its brand positioning pairing modernity and heritage, innovation and craftsmanship, trendsetting and sophistication.

For spring/summer 2011, we are presented with a collection where fine detailing, craftsmanship and creative references to the timeless Gucci heritage take on an easy elegance infused with an urban spirit and the flair of a modern globe-trotter.

For Gianni, the real essence of the Gucci man is “a metropolitan guy who can wear fashionable pieces but doesn’t want to look ridiculous’ he is very urban, very international. I see this man as always travelling…”.

GUCCI Under the current creative directorship of Frida Giannini, Gucci’s men’s collections remain true to the brands original sense of refined glossy luxury, updated with a modern twist.

AVENTADOR Following their takeover by Audi AG in 1998, Lamborghini launched the Murcielago in 2001 to symbolise their new ownership and lay down the blueprint of how the company would produce and style their cars in the future. Ten years and 4,099 Murcielagos later, Lamborghini have announced its highly anticipated replacement.

Mark Foster takes a look at Lamborghini’s newest flagship model, the Aventador LP700-4

As you open the scissor doors, you are greeted with a host of technology and majestically stitched leather in true Italian style

The Aventador, named after a famous Spanish fighting bull, and designed

by Filippo Perini under the guidance of Lamborghini chief designer Manfred Fitzgerald is a banquet for the senses. Synonymous with recent Lamborghini design styles, the Aventador is a an avant-garde work of art.

Every line, every detail of a super sports car from Sant’Agata is derived from its function – namely speed, dynamics and performance. Every Lamborghini is a purists dream, reduced to its very essence.

The car is built around an F1 inspired carbon fibre monocoque, similar to that found on the Mclaren MP4-12C (featured in LLTD 24). Weighing in at only 147.5 kilograms, the entire occupant cell, with tub and roof provides extreme rigidity, driving precision and a high level of passenger safety.

The driving force behind this beast is a 6.5 litre V12 engine powering all four wheels and generating 690bhp. All those horses can propel the 1.7 ton mid-engined coupe from 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds and onto a top speed of 217mph. All the power is managed by Lamborghini’s ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) transmission. Compared with a dual-clutch setup, the ISR gearbox is smaller, lighter and quicker, all of which are key to creating a modern lightweight super car. It is estimated that the gear 46

changes can be accomplished in 50 milliseconds, this is significantly quicker than in previous models, for example it is believed to be 140 percent faster than the e-gear transmission found in the Gallardo.

The Aventador has been equipped with an innovative and highly sophisticated suspension concept. The pushrod spring and damper concept was inspired by Formula 1 and tuned perfectly to the needs of a high performance road car. Together with aluminium double wishbone suspension and a carbon fibre ceramic brake system, this lightweight chassis represents a further aspect of the new flagship’s technology concept. The noise accompaniment is provided by the newly engineered exhaust system. The hydro-formed and thermally insulated three into one system incorporates four pre-catalytic converters close to the engine and two main catalytic converters shortly before the muffler. The casing incorporates two separate mufflers – one for low-volume, one for high volume. These are regulated by valves controlled via the engine management system and make sure that whether you are cruising round town or accelerating hard round a track, the Lamborghini soundtrack is always on tap.

Lamborghini drivers can choose between five operating modes: three manual (Strada, Sport and Corsa) and two automatic (Strada-auto and Sport-auto). The Strada mode offers highly comfort-oriented shifting with fully-automatic also an option. The Sport mode has a dynamic set-up in terms of shifting points and times, while the Corsa mode delivers the maximum shift strategy for race track driving. This mode also includes Launch Control, the automatic function for maximum acceleration from a standing start.

The exterior of the car is obviously special but the guys at Lamborghini haven’t left it there. As you open the scissor doors, you are greeted with a host of technology and majestically stitched leather in true Italian style. The new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 offers the most up-to-date comprehensive and individualistic technology and equipment package ever realised in a super sports car. The wide range of exterior and interior colours and variants is perfect for individualisation and they also offer ‘Ad Personam’, which allows the buyer to customise their car to any extent within their imagination.

The spacious interior combines the fine exclusivity of premium materials and perfect Italian craftsmanship with state if the art 47

technology and generous equipment. The red switch cover on the broad centre tunnel houses the start button used to awaken the twelve-cylinder.

The interior is dominated by a next-generation dashboard with the instruments presented on a TFT-LCD screen, a second screen is dedicated to the multimedia and navigation system.

Standard equipment includes the ESP stability control, hill start, ABS, TFT-LCD display and the HMI system that has navigation with traffic data, iPod connection and Bluetooth. Also included are the auto bi-xenon headlights, daytime running lights and auto climate, climate control. Some of the optional extras on offer are the transparent engine cover, allowing you the chance to publicise the monstrous V12 and the high end sound system usually reserved for the luxurious GT cruisers.

The Aventador is one hell of a modern day super sports car and looks set to pave the way for new cars within the category.

The Lamborghini Aventador is available in the UK for around £247,000 but the first year and a half’s production numbers (about 1,100 cars worldwide) have been sold with the current waiting list estimated at about 18 months.

Once upon a time there was a terrace café where a young man sketched an original design for swim shorts on a checked tablecloth. Inspired by surfer’s trunks, the design takes a shape, very different from the traditional ‘swim briefs’ of the time. Colourful and original, a new style was set! On the beaches of Saint-Tropez, the new swim trunks were an overnight success. Practical and comfortable, colourful and très chic, a trend is launched, Vilebrequin was born.

Attention to detail, exclusive prints, a vast range of colours, a carefully designed cut, and 32 precise manufacturing phases go into the unique, eternally elegant and sophisticated ‘Vilebrequin’. It begins with the artist’s sketch: a creative and highly refined graphic deign. This is then printed on the canvas with exceptional skill using a special technique.

For their 2011 summer autumn collection, Vilebrequin has entered into a creative dialogue with the contemporary artists who have shaped the 20th century. These include Henri Matisse and his cutout techniques, Andy Warhol and his Pop Art, and Sonia Delaunay and her love of colour.

Inspiration has also come from Roy Lichtenstein’s favoured comic strip style, the Klein blue, Joan Miro’s poetic shapes, the exotic, highly-stylised paintings of Henri Rousseau and even Jackson Pollock’s splashes of water paint.

Each swimsuit becomes a master’s canvass, an original piece from a unique world, fuelled by the identity of each of these artists and inspired by their personalities. Vilebrequin’s icons, the tortoise, fruits and flowers have been reinterpreted using techniques specific to each artist.

This latest collection is timeless, creative and inventive. We know what we’ll be wearing on the beach this summer… www.vilebrequin.com 53

Little Palm Island

54

Lying discretely off the fabled Florida Keyes coastline, is the perfect tropical getaway. A remote, secluded resort where guests arrive only by chartered seaplanes and private yachts. Surrounded by five acres of lush foliage, crystal blue water and mile after mile of peace and quiet, Little Palm Island is luxurious in every sense.

A place on Conde Nast Travellers’s Gold List 2011 and Travel & Leisure’s 500 World’s Best Hotels are just the latest of a host of awards bestowed upon this exclusive resort.

The island offers 30 remarkable, oceanfront suites in thatch-roofed villas.

The bungalows are discretely nestled throughout the island amid hundreds of palm trees and flowering tropical plants. The island’s Grande Suites are the most exclusive accommodation on the island and feature breathtaking and exquisitely decorated spaces with British Colonial furnishings, a separate living/dining area, slate floors, large private front

55

porch with redwood hot tub, lounge chairs and dining table. The suites also feature ‘his and her’ bathrooms. ‘His’ bathroom is equipped with a large slate shower, with three unique shower-heads and ‘her’ bathroom has a large, claw-footed porcelain tub and vanity table.

A selection of ‘Romantic Turndowns’ are available at the resort, with the island concierge tending to requests in secret. A remarkably romantic scene can be prepared and await a return from dinner. Guests can find a wild and wondrous moonlit world awaiting them. The tender blaze of the tiki torch illuminates the porch and lights a path of hand-strewn petals.

Beyond this, the subtle glow of candlelight highlights two dozen roses, and a chilled bottle of Cristal and decadent truffles stand by for indulging. For some – when it comes to setting a romantic scene – only the best will do.

There are a variety of recreation activities on offer at the island, ranging from complete idleness to deep sea fishing expeditions. The less active might wish to lounge on the white sand beaches, meditate in the Zen Garden, or spend an afternoon at SpaTerre. For the more adventurous, there are sailing excursions, eco tours and diving instructors standing by.

The area is a particularly fertile one for divers, boasting both the Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary and the sunken wreck of Adolphus Busch. The aforementioned water sporting options include the hotels collection of 56

canoes, kayaks, and sunkats, perfect for exploring the coast.

Essential island accessories are a good book and several appointments at the resort’s Indonesian-themed spa, SpaTerre. This sanctuary exists solely to promote health and wellbeing for mind, body and soul. Here exotic Balinese spa treatments and Thai body rituals are custom-designed, incorporating a blend of ancient spa traditions once reserved for royalty.

Signature body treatments include the Javanese Lulur Royal Treatment, a regal ritual that begins with a body massage of Jasmine Frangipani scented flower oil and continues with a Lulur exfoliation to lightly colour and scent the skin, a yogurt massage, a scented shower and a soak in a Japanese tub infused with fragrant rose petals.

the subtle glow of candlelight highlights two dozen roses, and a chilled bottle of Cristal and decadent truffles stand by for indulging

Massage and treatment rooms feature vaulted thatched ceilings, crystal chandeliers, slate floors, Sisal area rugs, wainscoting, bamboo sconces, and soothing Indonesian music.

With a shoreline profile landscaped with over 250 Jamaican coconut palms, indoor treatment rooms are just not enough. SpaTerre’s outdoor treatment areas are also designed to be meditative spaces, where lapping water, rustling palm fronds and the gentle sound of birds set the mood.

The wetroom bungalow nestled quietly in the Zen Garden, features a Vichy shower and outdoor hot tub along with an authentic Indonesian reclining bed.

The Dining Room at Little Palm tempts with a vibrant blend of French and Pan-Latin cuisine. Chef Luis Pous’ ever-evolving menu samples the finest in fresh, local fare, even using key limes and herbs grown on the resort property. Guests can enjoy meals in an elegant, candle-lit dining room, on a terrace perched above the beach where key deer and songbirds visit, or at tables strewn along the beach. Gourmand guests will also enjoy the new Chef’s Table, a privileged enclave positioned in the award-winning kitchen of the Dining Room at Little Palm Island. Chef Luis Pous attends personally to guests, preparing and presenting tasting menus that can be paired with his selection of wine. In addition, guests

can choose to dine privately at the coveted oceanfront Palapa Point and/or Harbor Point.

“Do nothing” is Little Palm’s motto and the serenity of the island makes this rule not difficult to follow. Across the island there are a surprising number of secluded, almost hidden nooks and crannies outfitted with benches and the resort’s wonderful landscaping that somehow manages to tame the natural flora without crushing its spirit.

Picture the scene... it is nightime and tiny dock lights illuminate the ocean and shine on coconut palms gracing the shoreline, whilst tiki torches flare by beachside dining tables. The island sparkles. Paradise really does exist.

Little Palm Island awaits!

The history – How did the idea come about/the inspiration behind GHR? In 1995, when smoking was banned in restaurants in California, cigar smoker and entrepreneur Stan Shuster and a few of his cigar smoking friends like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson, got together and decided to open a private cigar club for their friends. They wanted a place where they could meet regularly, hang out, eat, drink and have a great cigar. They decided to call it Grand Havana Room and never dreamed it would become so well known and successful, with currently over 1,600 international members.

When it opened in Beverly Hills in 1995, some of the first to join were Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, Robert De Niro and Jack Nicholson.

In 1997 and with the help of GHR member Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a second club was opened in New York and immediately Credit Swiss Bank, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Polygram Records, Nortel Networks and other prestigious companies began to join.

Bob is currently preparing to reopen the Grand Havana Room in a new location with new partners Ginza Project and Adamant Holding and planning to bring more actors and bands to film festivals and other events in Russia, Kazakhstan and the Ukraine. He is in pre-production on a US television series called, “From the Files of the KGB”, a new Russian television series, “A Day in Hollywood”, developing his “Doors to Hollywood Film Festival” and planning three more 1,000,000 Smiles Children’s Charity events.

What’s the unique selling point?

We believe one of the most important ones is the personal touch Stan Shuster brings to the US club and that I try to bring to the Russian one.

In Russia, I know each member personally. Nobody can join the club that we haven’t met and feel will make a good member. The board only approves members we feel are good assets to the club and its members.

As a business club, I try to help facilitate deals for members by learning as much as I can about their business or product, so I know who to introduce them to and how we can help them improve their business.

Knowing our members so well and making so many introductions, I can’t count the number of times I have helped members. It doesn’t matter to me if a member wants to buy something as small as a new luxury watch, or as large as an international resort property, home in Los Angeles, new car, yacht or jet, if they are a member of the club, I am always there to help and often know the right person they can trust who will make them feel special. I don’t know of any other clubs that can do this for their members on the international scale we can.

A number of clubs offer a concierge service, we have three available for members, two of which are offered free to GHR members and are continually arranging private jets, yachts, international excursions and luxury accommodations for our members and guests.

government. Our members and friends are changing Russia’s business climate and without GHR, few outsiders can get access to these individuals.

Meeting many of these powerful people, as well as the US members is a significant attraction.

Another special point that no other club I’m aware of can offer is the clubs direct access and friendship with so many famous stars. In the US clubs many are members and visit Moscow regularly, my company Doors to Hollywood has brought over 80 different actors and bands to Russia, Kazakhstan and the Ukraine. When celebrities are with me in Moscow, I arrange special events at the GHR for our members, VIP guests and friends in the Russian Government to meet them.

What makes the perfect member and what types of people are successful in becoming members?

For me, the perfect member is someone I can sit down with and have a great conversation. It’s someone who likes to talk business and someone interested in doing business. It’s someone I look forward to seeing week after week. The perfect member is someone I can introduce to other powerful members and not have them feel intimidated. THE PERFECT MEMBER is someone who doesn’t need to prove who they are or what they have.

Additionally, if you are a smoker, there’s no better place to enjoy a great cigar and if you’re not, there’s no finer atmosphere for business meetings, dining, or just relaxing with friends while sampling some fine wines and cognacs.

We have the best aficionado/sommeliers’ and they spend much of their time teaching interested members and guests about cigars and wines.

In addition to its exclusivity, luxurious interior and fine dining facilities, GHR is the perfect place for parties and corporate events. There are private rooms for dinner parties and conference rooms with video equipment for business meetings. Internet access is available during the day, and there are several large-screen televisions for watching sports and a screening room for movies and luxury brand presentations.

GHR Moscow has one of the largest walk-in humidor rooms in the world with close to 400 private and personalised cigar boxes. Members and their companies have the option to rent their own private box. Anyone joining the Moscow club instantly becomes a member of the clubs in the US and can visit them at anytime by just showing your membership card when entering.

Individual and Corporate memberships are available.

What makes GHR different from other business clubs around the world?

The Grand Havana Room (GHR) is indisputably one of the most exclusive, international business clubs in the world and one where only the most reputable companies and individuals are approved to join.

GHR’s current membership list reads like a “Who’s Who” of Hollywood and the corporate business world. There are now over 1600 well-known and respected members, some of them the most well known Hollywood stars and others, some of the wealthiest Russians.

The Moscow club opened in 2008. Its members consist of elite bankers, corporate executives, prominent businessmen, entertainers, actors, athletes, government officials, as well as some of the wealthiest and most powerful of Russia and Kazakhstan.

The magic formula – what was the tipping point to it becoming the success it has become?

When you start a club with members such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mayor Giuliani, Jack Nicholson, Mel Gibson, Nicolas Cage, Sylvester Stallone, Danny De Vito, Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck, Harrison Ford and Steven Seagal, it’s not hard to immediately become the most popular place in town and have everyone wanting to join. It wasn’t long before many of Hollywood’s most powerful agents, directors, attorneys and producers did and two years later, so did many from Wall Street when the New York GHR opened.

For the Moscow club, it was a few things; It didn’t hurt that a number of so called oligarchs were the first to join - as many other high net worth individuals followed. Where else can Russian businessmen, or foreigners wanting to do business here, have a chance to become part of a Russian business NETWORK that can give them access to some of the wealthiest Russian businessmen and highest levels of the Russian

Why does it attract celebrities?

Celebrities like privacy and that’s what GHR offers members. GHR is so private, invitation only and all the members have been pre approved, so any celebrity knows they are in an element of peers and will not be hassled for autographs or pictures.

GHR is a fun place, with fun people that are very successful at making things happen - celebrities’ like this and to be honest with you, so do I. How do you pick your locations?

One very exciting change for GHR Moscow is our new shareholders - Ginza Project, the largest and most well recognised restaurant operators in Russia and Adamant Holding, a Russian company whose owners are continually mentioned in Forbes. With them onboard and their high net worth clients and strategic partners wanting to join, we are moving the club to a bigger and better location in the centre of Moscow. Our VIP grand re-opening party for members is scheduled for September.

In Moscow, like many big cities, location is everything and being at the centre of big business, helps our members use the club for their business meetings.

Being a US-based club opening in Russia, being near the Kremlin and Red Square was important and we are less than a five-minute walk away.

Our club’s location is very easy to get to from a number of different locations.

We have plenty of parking which is rare, even though most of our members have drivers. The club has high ceilings, large windows, is bright and has a view. We have great furnishings, people, great food, the best wines, alcohol and fantastic cigars. It’s the kind of atmosphere and people you don’t want to leave.

Tell us a bit about your plans for a club in London?

We have been talking about a GHR in London for a few years now – we want to make the GHR London the most influential of all GHRs. London would be perfect for international business and the Russian, US and our celebrity members and friends visiting London regularly. We are currently working on the smoking ban issues and sourcing the right location.

What is your connection with Tom Doyle and the Lloyds Property Group -How did you meet?

I first met Tom in the Ritz Carlton Moscow. His company was promoting and showcasing their stunning properties in Sandbanks This was in conjunction with “Lloyds Living The Dream”, their incredible, high quality lifestyle magazine.

I was formally introduced by Albert Guchigov, Tom’s close friend in Moscow and it’s him I must thank for this very kind introduction. I am pleased to say both Tom and Albert are both members of my very exclusive clubs.

I believe there is a definite synergy with Lloyds properties in England / Europe and with Tom, who is highly respected in Moscow for his wealth of experience and worldwide connections.

THE

Connoisseur’S CHOICE Since launching its first UK boutique in 2008, Calleija Fine Jewellers are proud to remain as the only Australian Fine Jewellers in London.

Located in the historic Royal Arcade, Old Bond Street, Calleija specialise in the rarest Argyle Pink diamonds, naturally and ethically sourced from the Argyle Mine Western Australia. A staggering 90% of the world’s natural pink diamonds are sourced from this mine – a fact that becomes ever more poignant when you learn that the mine is estimated to be depleted of its diamond source in just 10-12 years. This imminent extinction has lead to a noticeable surge of interest in the pink diamond jewellery market, with rare pieces being sought after by savvy investors worldwide.

Argyle regards itself as a passing visitor to this precious environment and works in respectful partnership with the local indigenous people of the East Kimberley to protect all sites of cultural significance, to protect local water sources and to rehabilitate the landscape with native plant species.

Calleija Fine Jewellers use Argyle Pink Diamonds in their design and craftsmanship. Virtually all pieces are handmade, one off items, created by Calleija’s own team of jewellery artisans, thus minimising the environmental effects that can often be associated with mass-market production.

As one of only a handful of Argyle Select Ateliers across the world, Calleija are recognised for their mesmerising and unrivalled collection of ethical pink diamond jewellery.

Calleija, the international award-winning fine jewellers, are proud to launch their Bespoke Design Service for both jewellery and Objet d’Art. Tailored to any budget, clients are invited to the Mayfair, London boutique for a no obligation and complimentary creative consultation with Calleija’s designers. Clients are encouraged to be involved in the entire creation of the piece, which makes the process very personal and special. A selection of diamonds and precious gems are selected, sketches are produced and then the bespoke piece is handcrafted in Calleija’s onsite workshop by its master jeweller. The process takes approximately four to six weeks depending on the complexity of the piece. Calleija do not copy previous client work, so that a bespoke piece remains a unique work of art.

Calleija’s designers have many years of experience of creating bespoke pieces and the design team will present each client with a number of options based on their personal design preferences. Choice of material, style and components are discussed in the initial appointment. Clients are free to view and select the quality of diamonds or gemstones before the making starts. On site Gemmologists will help with choice of gemstones, explaining the characteristics of fine diamonds and gemstones and what to look for when purchasing. Calleija are an Argyle Pink Diamond Select Atelier and are licensed to carry certified, Argyle mined pink diamonds with direct origin references to the mine. Worldwide associations ensure Calleija can source the best diamonds and coloured gemstones.

The client is also offered an appointment for a ‘fitting’ during the making of the piece. In order to deliver the perfect finished creation, the design team ensures that the client is updated throughout the whole process. All appointments take place in the privacy of the Calleija private viewing room which helps make the creation a very personal and special experience.

Examples of bespoke pieces include the Kimberley Rose necklace pictured left and the creation of two-handcrafted pink and white diamond encrusted champagne glasses pictured above. The glasses are now renowned for being the most valuable ever created.

In addition to the bespoke service, the exceptional Calleija collection comprises of Argyle Pink Diamonds, brilliant white diamonds and precious gems. Calleija’s sought after pink and coloured diamonds are some of the rarest in the world and represent the pinnacle for true jewellery collectors.

The collection also features the Glacier cut diamond, exclusive to Calleija.

Inspired by the traditional cushion cut, its feminine shape and amazing brilliance make it an exceptional and unique diamond. Each Glacier is individually numbered and laser inscribed making it a truly personal piece. www.calleija.com

Since its inception back in 1986, El Celler De Can Roca has truly gone from strength to strength. Voted number two in the prestigious S. Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants List 2011 and with three Mitchelin stars to its name, this fine Spanish eatery has worked its way up to become the crème de la crème of the culinary world.

Run by three dedicated brothers – Joan, Josep and Jordi Roca – the restaurant’s menu has been carefully selected to reflect their unique methods and vision. To this trio, the memories and stories evoked by the food are just as important as the quality and taste. Head chef Joan has nurtured the art of ‘perfume cooking’, where spices are carefully infused to coat crustaceans in a light aroma. The ‘colourology’ technique, meanwhile, uses a single colour such as white or red to theme all the dishes served, a testament to pastry chef Jordi’s theory that “all colours evoke a certain mood, and all elements that come into play are arranged to evoke a state of mind.” Josep, the sommelier of the establishment, is on hand to ensure that the wines on offer work in harmony with this expertly crafted menu.

104

While its diners’ minds wander to locations past, the real-world setting of El Celler has been carefully constructed to enhance the unforgettable experience. In 1992, six years after the restaurant first opened, a decision was made to move the premises to pastures new. A different direction and a fresh impetus were needed, and the location had to reflect a new chapter in the restaurant’s future. A beautiful old villa was chosen, and architects Sandra Tarruella and Isabel Lopez were tasked with the job of creating the perfect setting. Using the brothers’ relationship as inspiration, the pair developed the building to reflect a three-way interplay. A triangular, open-plan dining room overlooking the street was added, as well as three complementary gardens surrounding the restaurant.

105

The result is a harmonious contrast between old and new, as traditional aspects of the villa are set against modern extensions. One such addition is the new cellar, a truly interesting feature where diners can enter five large wooden boxes constructed out of reclaimed wine crates. Once inside, a multi-sensory tasting experience awaits them, where they can touch different materials, listen to music and watch images related to the region and soul of each wine.

With its interesting approach and exquisite setting, it’s hard to believe that El Celler is 25-years-old. Remaining true to its ethos of ‘emotional cuisine’ and using innovative techniques to create beautiful and evocative dishes, this critically acclaimed restaurant remains as refreshingly unique as it ever was.

can say a thousand words The LEICA M9 ‘Titanium’ is an exclusive special edition, and the result of a collaboration with Walter de’Silva, the prominent automobile designer.

Responsible for the ground breaking design concepts for the latest models from the Volkswagen group, the chief designer and his Audi design team have reinterpreted the design of the LEICA M9 ‘Titanium’ just as he envisaged it. The outcome is a unique camera with a new interpretation of the characteristic features of LEICA rangefinder cameras, which lends precision engineering, unique style and solid titanium to extraordinary formal design.

For top-priced cameras, LEICA goes hand-in-hand. The company is known for making cameras that have plenty of features and aesthetic eye-catching goodness, and the price tag generally follows suit. But with the unveiling of the LEICA M9 ‘Titanium’ Limited Edition, the company has out-done themselves.

Each camera is individually numbered and costs nearly £20,000 in a set with a Summilux-M 35mm F1.4 lens, also made from solid titanium. With a full frame 18 megapixel CCD sensor and dual image processor inside, it’s a fully fleshed beast of a portable shooter.

Walter de’Silva addressed not only the design of the camera, but also focused on its handling and technical detail. These features include the

completely new LED illumination of the bright-line frames in the viewfinder, thus removing the necessity for the standard illuminating window and making the front aspect of the camera more balanced.

The camera’s trim, which uses leather typically reserved for the interiors of Audi’s premium automobiles, fits perfectly with the body’s titanium surface and provides outstanding grip.

The grip characteristics are further enhanced by a specially designed and embossed diamond structure. In addition, the exposed surfaces are treated with a hard coating applied by a specialist company in Switzerland.

Scratch-resistant, sapphire-crystal glass is employed as a protective cover for the camera monitor and further enhances the inclusive and rugged character of the camera. The LEICA logo has been restyled and is elaborately hand engraved in pure resin, inlayed with white enamel and subsequently sealed with a clear varnish and polished.

This exclusive special edition is limited to just 500 cameras worldwide and is sure to become a collector’s item. www.leica-camera.co.uk

more than just an American recording artist and has proven to be an accomplished actress and fashion designer 120

SO CRAZY IN Love Beyoncé is one of the few international superstars who is known by just one name. Joining an exclusive list alongside Prince, Madonna and Cher, amongst others, she has transcended the traditional girl group stereotype to be taken seriously as a recording artist.

However, Beyoncé is also the queen of firsts, following in her husband – Jay-Z’s footsteps she took to the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury to finish the three day festival with offerings from 4, her latest album. This set, sealed her place as the first woman to headline at Glastonbury and she won over a totally non-partisan crowd with a show that was the talk of the festival.

As a preview of her new album 4, it was a qualified success, with the album instantly hitting the number one spot in the UK charts. Speaking of her long awaited album her website declares: ‘4 is a twelve song collection born of the diverse sounds and sights Beyoncé experienced during her year-long time away from the spotlight. It is her self-described musical gumbo. Much like the dish, the album serves as a melting pot of musical styles punctuated by her undeniable vocal abilities.’

Following a three-year break from music, 4 is her fourth solo album and includes rapping from Kayne West on her “Party” track and “I was Here” was produced by former X Factor contestant Leona Lewis. Discussing 4 Beyonce said: ‘The album is definitely an evolution. It’s bolder than the music in my previous albums because I’m bolder. The more mature I become and the more life experiences I have, the more I have to talk about.’

Beyoncé is, however, more than just an American recording artist and has proven to be an accomplished actress and fashion designer as well. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, she enrolled in various performing arts schools and was first exposed to singing and dancing competitions as a child. Her big break came in the late 1990s as the lead singer of the R&B girl group Destiny’s Child, one of the world’s best-selling girl groups of all time.

During a break from Destiny’s Child, she released her debut solo album Dangerously in Love in 2003, which gave her the number one hits “Crazy in Love” and “Baby Boy” 121

and became one of the most successful albums of that year, earning her five Grammy Awards. The group split in 2005 giving Beyonce the opportunity to release her second solo album, B’Day in 2006. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and included the hits “Irreplaceable” and “Beautiful Liar”. Her third solo album I Am... Sasha Fierce was released in 2008, and included the foot-stomping “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”. This album earned Beyoncé six Grammys at the 52nd Grammy Awards - breaking the record for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in one night.

Beyoncé involvement in acting started in 2001, when she made her debut in the musical film Carmen: A Hip Hopera, and also starred in the film adaptation of the 1981 Broadway musical, Dreamgirls (2006) with Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy and Jamie Foxx, which earned her two Golden Globe nominations.

In 2004, Beyoncé and her mother introduced their fashion line, House of Deréon. She has, however, also been recognised for her commercial appeal and has endorsed brands such as Pepsi, Tommy Hilfiger, Armani and L’Oréal.

Unlike many celebrities, her private life is closely guarded and when not working she and her American rapper husband Jay-Z like to keep out of the spotlight. They have remained discrete about their relationship and married on April 4, 2008 in New York City. Despite media speculation, she did not publicly début her wedding ring until the Fashion Rocks concert on September 5, 2008, in New York City. Before they were married, they were listed as the Most Powerful Couple for Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential people of 2006. In January 2009, Forbes ranked them as Hollywood’s top-earning couple, with a combined total of $162 million. They also made it to the top of the list the following year, with a combined total of $122 million between June 2008 and June 2009. In June 2010, she was ranked second on Forbes list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world, and first on its list of the Most Powerful and Influential musicians in the world.

It’s clear that whether solo or as part of a power couple with Jay-Z, Beyoncé will continue to achieve career firsts in whichever media she sets her sights on, generating legions of new fans in the process.

THE CALLEIJA DIAMOND

Clive Christian Clive Christian Handcross are just starting their biggest refit since they first opened the showroom for business over 15 years ago. Although they have always shown the latest styles on offer from the luxury design house, this change represents a major move forward. Andrew Mitchell, Designer and MD at CCH explains.

“We have always made sure that the showroom is up to date with the progress of our brand. The new layout will reflect the luxury of the properties that we tend to design furniture for and illustrate what you can expect from us. It is not about showing each and every range and finish that we offer in the context of a display any more, our trademark styles are known worldwide. With this in mind we have designed a spacious Ivory kitchen with adjoining lounge, leading through to a fully equipped Yew home bar. We would like potential clients to drop in for a relaxed look at the quality of our product and the ambience that can be created, to get ideas and perhaps discuss future projects over a cup of coffee. It will be a sociable, elegant and relaxed space which will also be ideal for events, something we have been doing a lot of in the last couple of years.

Architects and interior designers often come to us on behalf of their clients to liaise on prestigious one off developments. Many of our clients

own period properties and want furniture that reflects the character of their home, and for newer houses we can create a very established feel (classic or contemporary) with connected designs leading one room seamlessly through to another. Our projects include anything from a single room of furniture to a complete house, in fact quite a few of our clients have started off with one and worked their way through the house adding another room every year or so.

At Handcross we are all looking forward to the next phase of the business that a refurbishment always brings. It also reminds us how even the smoothest project has the potential to disrupt normal life, which I like to think helps us empathise all the more with our clients!”

The showroom will be opening throughout for business as usual, Monday to Saturday.

Additions to the Clive Christian design portfolio for 2011 include: - Sleigh bed in a stunning carved design - Cinema room with bespoke upholstered leather seating - Fabric for the soft furnishings (silk, velvet or leather in ivory, gold or black) - Wallpaper in subtle tones with the trademark Clive Christian monogram

Commercial property purchase is not a regulated activity. Please remember that past performance is not a guide to the future.

The value of investment, and the income from investments, can go down as well as up.

“It is Lewis’ firm belief that funds which pay regular dividends are preferable at this time and will prevail over the longer term.

Dividends, as opposed to share prices, are more tangible and consistent, providing a physical return from an investment that may be taken as ‘income’ or reinvested” Tim Lewis

It’s worthwhile to find a professional that you trust.

Although no non-invasive product instantly removes wrinkles, such products (when used in conjunction with wrinkle smoothing injections), contain powerful ingredients to promote lasting skin health and improve visible signs of ageing over time. Used in recommended regimes, the products work synergistically to improve skin colour, tone, and elasticity.
