AKILLIS X JITROIS NEW TAKES ON ETHNO-ROCK ALLURE
J
ean-Claude Jitrois, the stretchleather specialist and a longtime friend has joined forces with Caroline Gaspard the creator of AKILLIS jewelry for a one-of-a-kind collaboration: a capsule collection inspired by her recent Tattoo jewelry line, offering men and women an initiation into the world of jewelry tattoos. A send-up to tribal tattoo art that traces its origins to the Pacific islands, this collection will land close to the hearts of lovers of jewelry tattoos.
The creativity of Caroline Gaspard combines with the savoir-faire and signature pieces of the Maison Jitrois. She re-interprets these ethnic motifs through the clever use of embroidered stretch-leather meshwork. A tour de force of technical innovation! Designed as a second skin, the pieces in this collaboration boast cut-outs and inlays in stylish and unique shapes, an interplay of transparency that pays homage to the Oceanic traditions of carved tattoos.
Photography: @_isaacanthony & @earlymorningriot Fashion: @dvlstylist Talent: @ricky_martin Hair: @joeloliverohair Make up: @hanicbeauty Photography Assistants: Caroline Salazar & John Batchine
As a pair, Caroline and Jean-Claude develop their shared taste for paradox and offer a collection where waves, harpoons, spirals, and arrows meld and clash in a harmony of opposites. The iconic styles of Maison Jitrois (the black-stretchleather Nayala dress, the Rider jacket) emerge with a new look of elegance from a fresh, Ethno-Rock angle.
For die-hard fans of these brands, this capsule collection will be available on Jitrois.com. It will also be available in the Paris and London Jitrois boutiques and at the main Jitrois retailers (Selfridges, PoppKretschmer, 55 Croisette, Pretty You, Dadelszen). www.Akillis.com www.Jitrois.com

SIF SAGA EXPRESSION: A WAY OF BEING
Photography by William Perez
W
hen you hear a composition of chords on the piano, where does your mind go? Does it spark excitement in your frontal cortex, as you imagine 10 different ways the song could go and shuffle through thousands of words that can come together to evoke emotion or tell a story? Music is a powerful outlet, whether you realize it or not. A song can take you back, move you forward, or help you let out a good cry. This has been true for me throughout my entire life. I remember singing ‘The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow’, from the musical Annie, on the top of my lungs till my brother got so fed up with me he punched me in the stomach. To be fair, he did warn me. I just couldn’t help myself, it brought me so much joy that I simply didn’t care. That’s what music does. It evokes emotion and in that case, brought me joy and my brother irritation. As I got older, the singing on the top of my lungs in the car stopped, but my love for music never did. I took classical piano for many years, was in every musical I could be in, sang in choir and as I got older, this translated into me messing around on garage band and writing my first song. It was terrible, but I got hooked. There was something about writing the lyrics and making something out of nothing that created fireworks in my brain.
If you would have asked me a year ago where I’d be now, I wouldn’t have guessed that I would have 7 songs out and a bank full of music waiting to be released or sold. Last summer while I was in LA, my friend introduced me to a producer named AJ. I was excited to show him some of the music I had produced because I wanted to learn how to be a better producer etc… so we wrote a song, I wrote the lyrics and sang, and he produced. After that we wrote everyday for a month, song after song, it was like magic. I wasn’t keen on releasing music where I was singing but he talked me into it, so now here I am and I am loving every second of it. I’m finding those old parts of myself again, the parts that felt this need to belt out on the top of my lungs because it makes me happy. However, I get the most out of writing the lyrics. I would love to write for big artists some day. When I write my lyrics, I normally am writing them simultaneously while my producer is creating the music. The only way I can describe how I write the lyrics is this feeling like my mind goes to another world. I never know what the song is about until the song is done, sometimes it can take me months to realize the story behind the lyrics and it’s as if this lightbulb goes on. I like to call it subconscious writing but I am not sure that’s accurate. Right now, I am working on my upcoming releases and two other projects with some artists. My life feels like it’s changing in front of my eyes. Every day, every month I feel more comfortable with myself, who I am, what I want to do with my life and music is leading me there. Expression is a way of being, it can be hard to remember that when there is so much pressure and “rules” within the confines of the human experience. I used to lay awake thinking about all the things I needed to do and worrying about if I had hurt this person’s feelings and so on, you get the point. When I am expressing myself, through music, modeling or acting it’s as if all that goes away and the more I do it, the more I am able to just be myself in my everyday life. The only person I should be worried about disappointing is me, and if you are truly being yourself, I don’t think that will ever happen. Life is magical, if it wasn’t for music becoming a soundtrack to my life I don’t think I could truly say that. -Sif Saga

KYLIE VONNAHME PLATFORM AND POWER

F
or as long as I can remember, I have always had a deeprooted love for all animals, specifically elephants. If the world does not change their behaviors that are affecting this species, elephants will continue down the path towards extinction. There are only around 400,000 wild African elephants left, and on average 96 are killed each day. Habitat loss, trophy hunting and poaching are the three main causes to their population demise. Public opinion is one of the most important aspects in how we can protect these animals. There are incredible online platforms like Karmagawa that works to save and protect animals. This platform is a quality example of an organization that uses the masses on social media to put pressure on governments & individuals to help animals at risk. By signing petitions, raising money and working with frontline defenders, we can help to stop elephants from going extinct. As a model myself, I have seen firsthand what opportunities social media has created for our industry. Social media has given models the platform and power to influence the world around them. I have committed to using my online platform as a vessel to help share the importance of protecting our world’s threatened and endangered species. With the influence that we carry online, we can help sway public opinion in favor of the rights that these beautiful creatures deserve.
Outside of sharing my work as a model, I use my social media platforms to share stories of animals in need. I often encourage my followers to sign petitions and donate funds to various causes that involve distressed animals. By using my social media as a way to spread awareness, it often shows my followers that there are pressing issues in the world that are not being talked about enough. When I provide resources and facts on issues like endangered wildlife, I make it easily accessible for my followers to help the cause from the convenience of their phones. I feel that it is crucial for me to use my space on the internet to influence positive change. One of my favorite quotes is “I cannot do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all of the good that I can do.” When I use my platform in this way, I can only hope that it inspires other models in my industry to do the same. I often think about how much positive change our industry could do for the world, if each model had just one cause in which they actively advocated. I am only just beginning my mission to stand up for endangered wildlife species, but I have dreams of doing everything that I can to help these animals. As my online presence grows more with time, I become even more optimistic about the change that I can make in the world and animals that I can save. -Kylie Vonhamme

ATLAS OCEAN VOYAGES EXCLUSIVELY FOR NEXT-GEN EXPLORERS
A
tlas Ocean Voyages’ premier, small expedition-style ship, World Navigator, perfectly embodies their luxe-adventure travel experience, which is the ideal balance of simple elegance and invigorating adventures. And it all happens aboard a vessel purpose-built for navigating remote ports in highly sought destinations. Small Ships, Mega Journeys World Navigator – one of the smallest, new expedition-style ships with fewer than 200 guests – allows for a more intimate atmosphere on board and off ship. With fewer crowds, you have the chance for more personal, fuller experiences, giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in your adventures. World Navigator also brings you closer to your destination and into more remote ports only navigable by small ships, so you can head straight into your explorations. Luxe-Adventure Destinations Atlas Ocean Voyages brings explorers to hidden gems in iconic destinations, as well as to destinations less visited, and there are few places as remote as Antarctica. Atlas is taking guests to unparalleled adventures to
the Seventh Continent in Winter 2021/2022. Their expeditions bring travelers closer to The White Continent for once-in-a-lifetime experiences, like a special sailing that takes them into the Scotia Sea at the height of a reverse, total solar eclipse that happens only once every 400 years. With an Atlas Antarctica expedition, guests also have the chance to cross the Antarctic Circle and earn their place in the Order of the Red Nose. Traversing the Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands, South Georgia and Sandwich Islands, Atlas’ Antarctica itineraries give travelers the chance to immerse themselves in this destination less traveled. Atlas Ocean Voyages continues their luxeadventure travel experiences in August 2021 with five exciting Mediterranean and Greek Isles expeditions. Plus, 24 more starting Spring/Summer 2022 with new destinations in the British Isles, Arctic, Iceland and Greenland, Norwegian Fjords, Central and South America, Baltic, Mediterranean and more. With opportunities to check a few items off your bucket list, like a glimpse of the Northern Lights or golfing across the United Kingdom, their new 2022 destinations promise to fill your next travel year with one-of-a-kind moments.
A Stand-Out Experience Atlas Ocean Voyages aims to stand out from the crowd by enhancing what you already expect from luxury, expedition travel. That includes onboard indulgences like the first-ever, L’OCCITANE luxury spa at sea; SeaSpa by L’OCCITANE, only available on World Navigator. With signature treatments and products from the renowned L’OCCITANE en Provence, it’s a holistic pampering experience that encompasses the balance of mind, body and spirit that Atlas aspires to encourage. You will also enjoy complimentary L’OCCITANE bath amenities in your accommodations during your holiday. They’re also the first and only expedition-style cruising brand that includes emergency medical evacuation insurance that covers you while on your trip. This plan may provide coverage for transportation expenses for an Emergency Medical Evacuation along with Repatriation expenses, up to the Maximum Benefit Amount of $250,000 and a Baggage and Personal Effects benefit up to $100. It’s how Atlas offers peace of mind, so you don’t have to worry and can fully enjoy your travels. Atlas is always striving to bring you closer to your destinations, even when on board. On board World Navigator from Water’s Edge, you sit just 30 feet above the water, giving you plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife sailing alongside as you make your way from one port to the next. It’s also the perfect spot to watch the horizon as you approach your next destination. And you can do it all in absolute comfort, as Water’s Edge also has heated seating. Fulfilling their promise of an all-inclusive experience, Atlas is the only travel brand to offer complimentary, non-stop private charter jet service to Ushuaia from the U.S. for every Antarctica expedition. Aboard an A330 Air Bus, you’ll be pampered with exceptional service, first-rate cuisine, and premium wine and spirits. It’s the luxuriant life at 35,000 feet, including escorted guidance through customs upon landing in Ushuaia.
All Inclusive All The Way Atlas takes every aspect of your journey into account, including roundtrip air travel to all destinations, a choice of complimentary land excursions in every port, unlimited premium pours and six dining options with locally inspired gourmet cuisine on board...plus everything in between. Off-Ship Excursions Part of the luxe-adventure experience includes what you can do on shore and off ship. With Atlas Ashore, Atlas Ocean Voyages offers a carefully curated selection of adventures made with every kind of traveler in mind. Whether you prefer to wander and take in the history and culture of your destination or want to challenge your mind and body to exhilarating excursions, their land programs have something made just for you. That includes a choice of complimentary land excursions at every port to give you more to explore. While an expedition to Antarctica is an adventure in and of itself, Atlas Ocean Voyages offers even more opportunities to explore your destination with incredible off-ship excursions. The Seventh Continent is a dream destination for fans of aquatic sports with chances to kayak, paddle and stand-up paddle across its pristine waters. If you’re looking for a challenge, you can opt for overnight camping in Antarctica or snowshoeing across the snowy shores. Atlas even offers opportunities
to join and contribute to scientific research in Antarctica, an excursion perfect for the curious mind. And all activities take place alongside expedition experts, providing you the guidance necessary to enjoy your experiences to the fullest. Conscious Travel Atlas Ocean Voyages believes exploring the world is for everyone, so they’ve taken steps on board to help do their part to keep it going today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. They’re limiting the use of guest-facing, single-use plastics and providing still and sparkling water in reusable water recepticles daily to every room. World Navigator realizes the possibilities of environmental stewardship with the latest hybrid power management and propulsion system, maximizing fuel efficiency and consuming as low as one-fifth the fuel compared to conventional cruise-ship systems, reducing Atlas’ impact on the environment. They also aim to help preserve the unspoiled beauty of their destinations, so they minimize underwater noise that stresses marine wildlife by using a hydro-jet propulsion system, allowing World Navigator to cruise virtually silent up to five knots for incomparable, up-close encounters while keeping the sensitive ecosystem in mind. To prevent damage to the fragile ecosystems on ocean floors, Atlas also avoids using anchors to maintain ship position by using a GPSbased dynamic position system.
Life on Board World Navigator When sailing on World Navigator with Atlas Ocean Voyages, you experience casual luxury. Beginning 2022, they will be exclusively offering only balcony and suite accommodations, each with a private marble bath and premium L’OCCITANE amenities, Atlas creates a relaxed atmosphere that invites you to take it easy. That also includes their Solo Suites, the most spacious accommodations at sea for solo travelers.

D
avid Yarrow was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966. He took up photography at an early age and as a 20-year-old found himself working as a photographer for The London Times on the pitch at the World Cup Final in Mexico City. On that day, David took the famous picture of Diego Maradona holding the World Cup and, as a result, was subsequently asked to cover the Olympics and numerous other sporting events. Many years later David established himself as a fine art photographer by documenting the natural world from new perspectives and the last nine years have been career defining. David’s evocative and immersive photography of life on earth is most distinctive and has earned him an ever growing following amongst art collectors. His large monochrome images made in Los Angeles are on display in leading galleries and museums across Europe and North America. He is now recognized as one of the best selling fine art photographers in the world and his limited edition works regularly sell at high prices at Sotheby’s and other auction houses. David’s position in the industry has been rewarded with a wide range of advisory and ambassadorial roles. He is an ambassador for WildArk and The Kevin Richardson Foundation. As the European ambassador for Nikon, he has recently been integral to the company’s most anticipated camera release of the last decade. In December 2017 he shot LVMH’s latest “Don’t Crack Under Pressure” campaign with Cara Delevingne, which can be seen in airports around the world. In January 2019 David was appointed as a global ambassador for UBS. Most recently, in the spring of 2020, David was appointed a Global Ambassador for Best Buddies - one of America’s most established children’s charities.
In 2018 and 2019 David’s work raised over $4.5m for philanthropic and conservation organizations. At Art Miami in December 2019, David’s photograph “The Wolves of Wall Street” broke new records. One print, signed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese, featuring the real Wolf of Wall Street - Jordan Belfort - sold for $200,000. The proceeds went to conservation NGOs supported by DiCaprio. The equipment that David takes with him on location will naturally vary according to the subject matter of the assignment and the lighting conditions/climate of the environment in which he is photographing. David favors two camera bodies above all else. When a subject is fast moving, he looks no further than the Nikon D5. The high frames per second and powerful motor drive make for a combination that can capture any moment and allows for pin sharp imagery. For everything else, David prefers the high resolution of the Nikon D850. David was asked by Nikon to spearhead the campaign that launched the new Camera in 2017. The D850’s supreme resolution allows David to blow his images up to the large trademark sizes for which he has become known. One of Davids technical tips is to “use a well-positioned remote-controlled camera to capture shots of dangerous wildlife. When conceptualizing animal shots, think laterally and strive for an image that sits outside normal boundaries. This may be to achieve perspective by capturing shots that look up at the animal from the ground, but often to get the animal at eye level and pin sharp. This can prove problematic when photographing dangerous animals but a solution is offered in the form of well-positioned remote controls”

One of David’s more unusual pieces of equipment is a custom-made 14-pound steel box. This object is used to house his camera body and then placed near the subject matter of his assignment. He then triggers the protected camera from a short distance by pressing a hand-held switch at the right moment… his timing has to be perfect.

All of David’s photographs tell a story; his durable camera casing has several tales of its own, ranging from being buried in a swamp in the Camargue, doused in Old Spice aftershave in Amboseli and smothered in rhino excrement in Lewa. These ‘treatments’ have been used after extensive research into identifying the most attractive and enticing smell for the animal in question. All of David’s images are produced by BowHaus in California. BowHaus are a highly regarded Los Angeles-based printer of archival pigment prints. They work with the leading galleries in America and some of the most recognized contemporary photographers. Their proprietorial printing process employs technology that transcends generic digital prints by allowing for bespoke allocations of the 12 ink cartridges within the Canon drum printer. All prints are on 315gsm Hahnemühle photo rag Baryta paper and varnished after processing to give both endurance and sheen. CasterlineGoodman.com

liver Peoples partners with fashion house, FRÈRE, to create two exclusive, new eyewear styles. The collaboration merges the brands’ shared focus of exceptional craftsmanship and elevated design. The collaboration takes form in the striking campaign featuring a fashion powerhouse roster starring supermodel, Jasmine Tookes, and FRÈRE designer, Davidson Petit-Frère, styled by Zerina Akers shot by acclaimed photographer, Dennis Leupold, at the iconic, Pierre Koenigdesigned, Stahl House. This mid-century modern landmark, built in 1959, was created in hopes of reimagining modernist design for residential architecture. Much like the driving, design force of the Stahl House, the collaboration between FRÈRE and Oliver Peoples aims to fuse together innovative design to a vintageinspired aesthetic.
FRÈRE, established by Davidson Petit-Frère, has become the voice of modern fashion. Known for specializing in men’s and women’s handmade couture while finding innovation in classic silhouettes, FRÈRE has outfitted some of the biggest names in music, sports and entertainment as well as worldwide figures. Oliver Peoples, whose founding and aesthetic is ingrained and inspired by the culture of the film, arts, and music scene in Los Angeles, paired naturally with the design aesthetic of FRÈRE – in which both brands find that bold design can be achieved alongside superior artistry. The Oliver Peoples FRÈRE collaboration launches two new frames, FRÈRE LA and FRÈRE NY. FRÈRE LA blends the identities of both brands to create a stylish combination eyewear style with acetate and metal detailing.
FRÈRE NY plays into the vintageinspired aesthetic of Oliver Peoples and the classic tailoring of FRÈRE to create a timeless eyewear style with custom design details and a strikingly, flattering fit made to work with every face. The colorways in the collection offer an ode to FRÈRE, with custom shades of Sage and Mauve inspired by the designs of Davidson Petit-Frère, as well as touches of classic OP with exclusive tortoise acetates including 362 and DM2. To balance the group, the frames also feature a sophisticated black with dark lenses and a wearable, translucent acetate with transparent Blue Block lenses. Both frames are accentuated with a custom filigree pattern developed exclusively for the collaboration. Inspired by an intricate art deco engraving on a vintage lighter, the filigree appears on the metal corewire of FRÈRE NY and the metal temple of FRÈRE LA. Each pair also includes an exclusive packaging set. FRÈRE’s signature, brand color, Mauve, and the Oliver Peoples FRÈRE logo can be found throughout the set which consists of a custom-designed hard case with a plush outer shell, a branded pouch, and a microfiber cleaning cloth.

Jojo Anavim, Lifesaver, 2020 Collage, foil, and acrylic on canvas, 30 x 40 in.
Jojo Anavim New York City based artist Jojo Anavim has established his body of work stemming from a background in graphic design and brand development. Previously a creative consultant for brands such as W Hotels, and Universal Music Group, Anavim crossed over fulltime to fine art in 2013. His work continually employs bold color palettes, acrylic paint, oil stick, collage scraps, found items and advertisements Anavim has been collecting since his childhood. He is known for elevating the mundane by transforming everyday items into objects of transcendence. The paintings oscillate freely between playful and subversive. Triggered by his fascination with a child-like consciousness, Anavim challenges the viewer to not only see something beautiful, but feel something as well. As a child (until age 15) Anavim enrolled in art classes taught by Disney animator Al Baruch, creator of the legendary characters Captain Hook and Mighty Mouse. Anavim credits Baruch with instilling a creative confidence that led him to embrace art as more than
a hobby early in his life. Anavim went on to study graphic art at Hunter College. Much of Anavim’s work depict the nostalgia of the brands and packaging he was surrounded by during this time, down to the LifeSavers his grandmother would always carry in her purse. Anavim’s artworks are part of permanent collections in museums and hotels around the globe, including Dream’s Downtown and Midtown Hotel, New York, NY; Coca-Cola Archives Museum, Atlanta, GA; New York Yankees City Seats Collection, New York, NY; and Surf Lodge Hotel, Montauk, NY. Anavim is also recognized for his commissions for NBA players, business moguls and top-charting musicians including Amar’e Stoudemire, Seth McFarlane, Selena Gomez, Sheldon Adelson, Paris Hilton, Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis, and Daymond John. Anavim’s work has been covered by global media publications including The New York Times, American Art Collector, Business Insider and Forbes - all highlighting the success of his career.
STONED FINE JEWELRY A NEW WAY TO SHOP LUXURIOUSLY WRITTEN BY DOMINIK SEVERINO
Eve Gay, Founder and Designer
S
TONED Fine Jewelry, founded by entrepreneur Eve Gay, is a concierge service for fine jewelry. With the world evolving, STONED is your one-stopshop for all your diamond, precious stone, and fine jewelry needs. STONED is a contactless way to shop luxuriously. Conceived and brought to life during COVID, Eve and STONED’s objective is to share with you the convenience, ease, and of course, the luxury of concierge jewelry. Dominik Severino: So Eve, you started STONED Fine Jewelry (SFJ) during your senior year at Pepperdine, correct? Eve Gay: Yes I did. We started STONED Fine Jewelry back in November. I was still in school taking on a full schedule, and was doing SFJ on the side. And during all of that, we kind of just blew up! During your time at Pepperdine, what was it in the moments leading up to November that led you to that “Aha” moment and thus STONED Fine Jewelry? It was a combination of things. My junior year I really thought I wanted to go into the fashion industry. I had a really great internship lined up with a designer in New York City, and once the pandemic hit it put my plans to a halt. I then had to shift my focus and I started to brainstorm what it is that I wanted to do post graduation. I’ve always had diamond dealers in my life, my family is full of jewelry buyers, and I’ve always loved Jewelry as well. So one day my mother and I decided to just go for it! I started doing research immediately as the pandemic hit. I was taking courses, learning the ins and outs of the industry, acquiring all of the legal documents that we needed, and STONED was born.
You say that SFJ is introducing a new generation to fine jewelry, and a new way to do luxury. What do you mean by that? I think that having a diamond concierge on speed dial, someone that is going to come to your house is a huge luxury. What we are doing with SFJ is making that very accessible to everyone! As long as you have the internet, a computer, or a phone you can contact me personally. We can discuss what the customer wants, I can show diamonds via zoom and if you want me to come to your house I will. Most younger people put a lot of trust into making online purchases, whereas the older generations are more skeptical about buying online. We want to mix the old and the new ways of dealing diamonds, and bring the importance of investing in jewelry to younger and older generations alike. And now that I am out of school and can devote 100% of my time to SFJ. I’m currently located in Florida, but we are working on expanding all across the U.S. and hopefully we can operate even further.
In terms of being a luxury diamond concierge with an emphasis on accessibility, you’ve also created a line of jewelry made for the ultimate collector as well as the everyday person. What was it that made you want to do that? Well as I have become quite the collector and my family, especially my grandmother, has always been big collectors, I wanted to make jewelry that can be loved by anyone. My grandmother actually had a stroke back in October, she’s okay now but it was definitely hard on us. She started to give away her jewelry to us, and sharing those memories with her is great. She loves to see me wear the jewelry she gave us and I think it’s really wonderful how you can pass on jewelry to your kids, and they can pass it on to theirs. It’s made to last, it’s not going to break or tarnish, and you have these great memories to pass on from generation to generation. It’s very intimate. Even the bonds you make with clients are intimate. And as you pass on your jewelry, you know that everyone is going to appreciate it.
Absolutely a wonderful and generational experience. One last question, Eve. When someone takes interest in your company and contacts you, then what happens? I am constantly available for customers and whether it is a call, text, Direct Message on Instagram or email. I always reply as fast as possible and we start looking. They tell us exactly what they are looking for and we make it happen. We search for special pieces, special stones, and we create them together. It is so fun to work with the customers and make their visions come to life. It really is times like these that some of the best ideas, inventions and businesses come to fruition, and it seems as if Stone Fine Jewelry is one of them. Thank you! And yes the positive takeaway that I had from this pandemic was having all of the doors open at the right moment. During this pandemic people are not spending as loosely as they once did, and many people are investing into things such as gold, diamonds, and jewelry because they will always hold up to their value. And it’s because of this that once we gathered up some inventory, we sold out on the first night. The universe aligned for us to grow as a company.

PARMIGIANI FLEURIER THE NEW TONDA REINE DE MAI
P
armigiani Fleurier continues to showcase its dedication to métiers d’art and high watchmaking with the launch of the Tonda Reine de Mai collection. Inspired by the bucolic landscape in Switzerland surrounding its manufactures and the flowers found there, it combines Parmigiani Fleurier’s commitment to inhouse manufacturing, fine finishings, and artistry. Nature and the beauty of the golden ratio are enduring sources of inspiration, and the Manufacture uses a wide array of artistic techniques to bring them to life in this release, including hand-chiseling, hand-diamond-setting, hand-polishing, hand-sandblasting, and marquetry. The Tonda Reine de Mai features a beautiful bouquet of mother-of-pearl, rose gold, and diamond-set flowers, akin to the snowwhite Daisy May buds often seen into late Summer. Machined to achieve their perfect shape, they are finished by hand before being placed atop a white mother-of-pearl dial comprised of 23 different marquetry elements. The six mother-of-pearl flowers are particularly challenging to decorate, as the material is quite delicate and fragile. The base of each flower is sandblasted
by hand; then, each petal is polished and engraved by expert artisan hands resulting in varied matte and polished finishings that give more depth and dimension. The dial features an additional six Daisy May flowers, three in rose gold with alternating polished and engraved petals, and three in white gold and handset with 117 diamonds. This brilliance and texture give subtle depth to the unique dial making it seem as if the flowers overlap like they would in nature. Each dial takes 24 hours to craft and requires the work of many artisans skilled in different métiers d’art. This version is limited to five pieces, and each dial is slightly different as the bouquet is placed at different angles on each one. The Tonda Reine de Mai is powered by the PF310 automatic movement, which Parmigiani Fleurier created in 2014 in its vertically integrated manufacture. It adheres to the strict codes of craftsmanship and finishings that the atelier is revered for, as well as Michel Parmigiani’s penchant for creating a secret for the wearer. The movement is impeccably finished, and features signatures like Côtes de Genève stripes, perlage and beveled bridges.
For the first time, it features a 22K gold rotor that is as highly decorated as the dial and, with 20 hours of work required for each one, it takes nearly as long to create. It is hand-chiseled in a delicate motif that accentuates four mother- of-pearl Daisy May flowers, a precise, time-consuming technique that is rarely seen on a rotor. The flowers are crafted with the same methods as those on the dial, featuring sandblasted and polished surfaces, as well as engraved details, all done by hand. It is a true secret for the wearer and illustrates Parmigiani Fleurier’s dedication to excellence and the level of attention to detail paid to every element of a timepiece, even those rarely seen. This stunning rotor means the entire watch is like a jewel, and it is clear that each component was designed to be beautiful from every angle. While beautiful, the movement is still robust, revered for its accuracy. The watch is also water resistant to 30m and has a power reserve of 50 hours, expertly uniting mechanical watchmaking and métiers d’art. The bezel, lugs, and bracelet are fully diamond set with the highest-quality F-G near colorless, and internally flawless and VVS- stones, not often seen in watchmaking. The 36mm rose gold case features a crown with a white opal cabochon; it is polished and set with 70 diamonds totaling 1.95 carats, while the bracelet is meticulously set with 906 diamonds totaling 8.04 carats. The bracelet is beautifully integrated to the case thanks to its teardropshaped lugs, a Parmigiani Fleurier trademark, and was carefully designed to ensure great comfort. ParmigianiAmericas.com

#1 FAMILY GOLF RESORT IN NORTH AMERICA – GOLF MAGAZINE
A CHIC OCEANFRONT RESORT
J
ust say Eau! It’s French for “water,” and it’s located in Manalapan on the barrier island of Palm Beach, near world-famous Worth Avenue. Nestled on a private beach and surrounded by tropical gardens, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa makes a memorable getaway. Just minutes from Palm Beach International Airport, the Forbes Five-Star, AAA 5-Diamond resort features 309 guest rooms designed by the NY-based designer Jonathan Adler. It’s his design version of “Santorini and Capri meet Palm Beach.” The rooms are super chic and offer the largest terraces in all of Palm Beach, each outfitted with an Adler-designed hanging chair along with a pair of his signature “Peace and Love” chairs centered around a café table. The guest rooms and luxurious suites feature his cheerful design that reflects the iconic Palm Beach lifestyle, fusing fantasy and glamour for the perfect beach getaway. Upon entering the resort, guests often marvel at the sparkling crystal chandeliers that catch the reflection of the sun from the ocean views across the lobby, which is actually more like a living room in one of the grand estates on the island. Immediately upon check-in guests are offered a complimentary glass of Champagne to set the mood for the rest of their stay. Settle in to one of the chic guest rooms, or upgrade to a Club Level room where guests will have access to the Club Lounge offering a fully stocked bar along with four food and beverage presentations throughout the day – along with staff who cater to your every whim. All guests will receive a complimentary keepsake canvas tote bag designed by artist Libby VanderPloeg, featuring her iconic map of Palm Beach.
When your appetite strikes, the resort offers four exciting dining options, including Temple Orange, which offers indoor and outdoor seating along with a Mediterranean inspired menu; Stir Lounge & Terrace, located just off of the lobby and featuring handcrafted cocktails and small plates; Angle, the resort’s contemporary American offering, with its twist on modern cuisine and a recently added Champagne bar; and Breeze Ocean Kitchen, featuring Florida-inspired dishes with handcrafted cocktails and a wide selection of craft beer from Palm Beach County on tap. After your meal, cool off in one of the resort’s two shimmering pools – the resort pool or the more intimate tranquility pool. Each offers luxurious lounge chairs and attentive staff to deliver poolside cocktails and snacks. And then there’s Eau Spa – one of only a handful of Forbes Five-Star spas in the U.S. Eau Spa features 42,000 square feet of total bliss. It’s unlike any spa you have ever experienced. From the moment you arrive, you know you are somewhere special. “Pause, Play and Perfect” is the order of the day at Eau Spa. Upon checking in, you will be whisked away by a Spa Fairy who will encourage you to make a wish at the wishing well by placing a candle in the water, and then you will be presented with a glass of Champagne to start your spa journey.
Create your own custom body scrub at the Scrub & Polish Bar, and luxuriate in the spa’s Self-Centered Garden, which boasts cabanas, dipping pools, hanging chairs and a massage bench. The spa features 19 treatment rooms where scents, sounds and color therapy are personalized to your desired experience. Your treatment will begin with a spoon of honey from a local bee farm. After your treatment you can enjoy the sauna, steam, jacuzzi or simply sip more Champagne in one of the cabanas. You can also experience the spa’s pampering services in a Private Garden Villa with its own outdoor shower, bathtub and lounging area. Your only care for the day is to relax and enjoy – let Eau Spa spoil you! Feeling energetic and want to work out? The fitness center at
Eau Spa offers a fully equipped gym featuring Techno Gym equipment, Peloton spin bikes, certified personal trainers and a number of classes to choose from – Pilates, beachside yoga, spin and more.

Synonymous of ultimate luxury, the secluded island offers a backdrop to indulge in an unmatched beachside getaway with a spotlight on sustainability. Reopening its doors after over a two-year recovery from the devastating impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, Necker Island is back and better than ever before, with a featured focus on sustainability. Providing guests with unmatched luxury guest rooms, exquisite views, and ultimate exclusivity, the new Necker Island is back to the top of travel enthusiasts’ destination bucket lists. Guests are able to revel in a brand-new Necker experience which includes a new Great House and Bali Lo Complex. The Great House was restored with two new rooms, totaling to 11 guest rooms. Each of the spacious rooms in the Great House are equipped with a balcony that promotes the alluring panoramic views of the Caribbean, a king-sized bed, and ensuite bathrooms. The accommodations in the Great House are made family friendly with a bunk room, which sleeps up to six children. The Bali Lo Complex is a two-tiered Balinese house with a lounge on the ground floor and the bedroom is above it on the first floor. This complex along with the neighboring Bali Buah and the Bali Kukila were all built in authentic Balinese style and suited for accommodating a couple. There’s also the standalone Leha Lo, a short walk down from the Great House and nestled high above the rocks providing panoramic 180-degree sea views.
The Great House
Simply being sequestered in their room savoring the impeccable views may be delightful enough for some guests. However, Necker Island offers much more than its pleasant placement in the Caribbean waters. The activities provided on this resort are endless allowing for an adventure filled experience. Pursuits vary from sailing, scuba diving, yoga, tennis, spa treatments, and more. For more adventurous travelers, off-site excursions can be arranged for a full or half day expedition. Necker Island is more than just a luxurious vacation destination with stunning scenery and countless activities. Following its reopening, the island has a renewed commitment to sustainability. Its adoption of 1,232 solar panels and three wind
turbines allows for the island to run on 90% renewable energy every day. In line with Sir Richard Branson’s philanthropic efforts across the Virgin Limited Edition portfolio, Necker Island is a member of the Pack for a Purpose initiative that encourages visitors to save a little space in their luggage to bring supplies for local schools or medical clinics in need. Necker Island’s support has aided the exponential growth of area schools allowing for more space and resources for students. Necker is typically reserved for buyout-only visits, however, there are certain weeks of the year where the island opens up for “Celebration Weeks” where guests can book a 7-night stay in an individual room.
While Necker Island has long been the crown jewel of the British Virgin Islands, soon comes the much-anticipated unveiling of a new island – Moskito Island. Situated on a 125acre private island just two miles from sister island Necker, Moskito will go far beyond conventional villa rental and will provide guests with upscale luxury private estates on a beautiful privately owned Caribbean island. The island will be complete with 10 individual luxury estates. Newly available for rent is the 11-bedroom Branson Estate, which exemplifies the pillar of excellence – and new estates will become available for rent this year, all individually designed and exceptionally different. Accompanying the estates is a communal recreational area for guests to take advantage of the many activities based around the Beach House, infinity pool and bar, tennis pavilion, dining pavilions and watersports center. Over on the opposite side of the island from the Branson Estate lies Manchioneel Beach, where guests can enjoy incredible waters paired with lounge-style cabanas and a private dining area. The British Virgin Islands have maintained record low cases of COVID-19 due to strict safety precautions implemented by the BVI government. The staff at the two properties have received new COVID-19 training, are closely in-tune with government guidelines and ensuring that they are continuously one step ahead to keep the safety of their guests and staff a priority.

ROSEWOOD BANGKOK HOTEL COMBINING TRADITION & LUXURY
R
eshaping Bangkok’s skyline, Rosewood Bangkok Hotel is a 30-story, visually stunning, vertical architectural marvel. Its contemporary form is inspired by the wai, the famous Thai gesture of greeting. The modern silhouette is a creative expression of the Thai spirit. Rich Thai culture is also emphasized by interior design elements and the exquisite water features within the luxury hotel that are a tribute to Bangkok, a city built on water. Rosewood Bangkok is destined to establish a new design icon for the Kingdom’s capital and the world stage. Rosewood Bangkok, which was built by New York architecture firm KDF in 2019, and interior designed by Taipei based Celia Chu Design & Associates, has received 9 top international design awards. Part of the Rosewood brand identity is its concept of each hotel having a unique sense of place, and Rosewood Bangkok has successfully expanded the company’s horizons with a truly Asian identity. “Rosewood Bangkok exemplifies a perfect marriage of destination and our core concept of a modern ultra-luxury hotel experience,” states Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. “We are thrilled for travellers and residents to experience the warmth of Thai hospitality and the dynamism and beauty of its culture within such a fresh, exciting and radiant retreat.” A closer look at the metallic mesh window screening reveals another iconic Thai motif – the screen is made from the fake nails worn by traditional Thai dancers. “It’s the combination of something very traditional and very open - like Bangkok itself,” says Chu. Celia also says “this project is by my favorite hotel we have designed to date.” Rich Thai culture can be found in many details of the design, from the sunning metallic window mesh made with Thai dance ornaments to the bespoke fanlike crystal light fixture inspired by the traditional dancing spin which adorn the ceiling of the main entrance to receive the first arrival from the guest. Celia layered the richness with luxurious materials, texture and color scheme. She successfully honoured the culture from the external building design and reflected in every corner of the hotel interior.
Rosewood Bangkok features four innovative restaurants and bars, including a brasserie, signature Chinese restaurant, top-floor speakeasy bar and the first upscale organic café situated in a Bangkok hotel. One of the four luxury dining experiences offered at Rosewood Bangkok is the Lakorn European Brasserie, which features a casually chic ambiance with a focus on seasonal culinary flavors from Europe and Thailand.
In the bedrooms and suites, the Thai motifs are more subtle, blending in with a slightly more European look, but the location is still referenced in the pierced screening that separates the living areas from the beds and in the bathroom tiles which have the same pattern as those in the Grand Palace, but executed in brown rather than gold. Thai culture can be found everywhere in the design from the stunning metal Thai dancer screens to the stunning Thai fan that adorns the ceiling of the main entrance. Everything from the external design of the building to the window blinds captures something of the richness of Thai culture. Achieving the global design praise against the biggest global hotel brands and their designers is a huge compliment, says Chu but ultimately the hotel guests are the people they aim to please most so they return again and again. One of the challenges of hotel design is to create a sense of travel and place while maintaining international standards of comfort and facilities. CeliaChu.com RosewoodHotels.com

RITZ-CARLTON SOUTH BEACH A PICTURESQUE GETAWAY
S
et within the glamorous South Beach neighborhood, The iconic Ritz-Carlton, South Beach is the gracious host to travelers visiting the most exotic place in America. The luxury hotel just re-opened last year after having completed a multi-year, property-wide renovation inclusive of guest rooms, suites, spa, Club Lounge, restaurants and bars, lobby, meetings and events spaces, and pool. A refined gateway to the vibrant culture and colorful history of Miami, the reimagination channels the alluring and tropical rhythm of the destination. Inspiration from the lush surroundings of sparkling blue waters, beach, and foliage is coupled seamlessly with the renowned architectural genius of Morris Lapidus in 1953 to create a new hotel that celebrates the exoticism of this magical city. Historical elements of the original landmark Art Deco building are punctuated throughout the design, introducing guests to a nostalgically futuristic space. Designed by the acclaimed firm HBA Miami, the vision for the 376 guestrooms and suites was inspired by Miami’s origins as a vast botanical garden, which later transformed with masterpieces of architecture and a strong cultural heritage to create a uniquely rich amalgam. The result is accommodations that are highly crafted and culturally contextual. The color palette seeks to reflect the blue sparkling waters, orange blossoms, brown hues of Cafecito, and cigars, and the rich golds of flowing rum. The flooring runs through the rooms boldly accented by crisp moldings, and distinct oversized furnishings such as plush, colorful headboards. Blurring the line between home and hotel, guests will be greeted with picturesque areas for entertaining effortlessly framed by the endless ocean view below.
Channeling playful elegance, the spacious lobby has been transformed into a social hub which welcomes guests and locals in ultimate Miami style and splendor. The landmark building’s original architect, Morris Lapidus once said, “if you create the stage setting and it is grand, everyone who enters will play their part,” and the multi-level lobby does just that. A myriad of luxurious materials can be found throughout the design, led by New York based firm Meg Sharpe Interiors, with the focal point remaining the original chrome sphere light wall. A combination of rich bronzes and brasses can be found in the public spaces and bar, which will be a mysterious gem offering a nod to Miami’s role in the Prohibition era. A vision of polished nickels, blackened steels, and communal seating, the main restaurant, Fuego y Mar is a convergence of cultural cuisines, brought to life over fire with both indoor and outdoor dining options. Additionally, the beachfront restaurant and bar, DiLido Beach Club, is completely transformed, as well as enhancements to the recently renovated exclusive Club Lounge, and spa. Designed with the luxury traveler in mind, the resort’s elevated collaborations are geared to enhance the mind, body and soul, ensuring an unforgettable experience unlike any other. Imbibe with a signature confection inspired by the hotel from Aubi & Ramsa Ice Cream, the Miami-based liquor infused ice cream brand. ‘The South Beach,’ is available exclusively on-property, featuring The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach’s custom Havana Club anejo rum, crème brûlée notes and chocolate wafer clusters.
Wellness travelers will want to indulge in treatments designed by luxury skincare line Natura Bissé®, such as the 60-minute Diamond Luminous Facial and 90-minute Diamond Rose Massage, which utilizes revolutionary products from the brand’s coveted anti-aging Diamond Collection that will leave guests shining and bright. Those looking to expand their wardrobe can shop the first Alvin Valley pop up in Miami, exclusively at the resort throughout the summer. Visitors will have the opportunity to shop at the luxury designer’s first beach concept store for three months right on Miami Beach with new offerings including pareos, beach cover-ups, dresses, sarongs, and of course, casual pants. The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach is the oceanfront retreat that inspires deeper, richer experiences in a unique city, full of spontaneity yet graced with genuine care and comfort for guests. A true haven for connoisseurs of culture and tradition.
THE BETSY HOTEL SOUTH BEACH
A
ppease your creative senses with a visit to The Betsy South Beach situated in the epicenter of the Miami Art Deco District, Ocean Drive. The predominant architectural style of the 1920s and 1930s on Ocean Drive emits a quaint beauty throughout its 900 historically preserved buildings. And today, The Betsy is part of the historic neighborhood that bridges the gap between old-and-new Miami, making it an architectural masterpiece. The Betsy Hotel South Beach is nothing short of historic as it remains the only surviving example of Florida-Georgian architecture on Ocean Drive. This globally recognized property is a family-owned establishment where attention to detail, exceptional food, and appreciation for the arts prevail. Jonathan Plutzik together with his wife Lesley Goldwasser-Plutzik own The Betsy and keep cultural and community programming at its core. Jonathan Plutzik’s Father, Hyam Plutzik who was a three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist in poetry, continues to inspire the ownership family’s love of literature and commitment to artistic programming which includes the Writer’s Room. The Betsy’s family ties doesn’t end with the duo at the helm. Their son Zachary Plutzik serves as the Managing Director and focuses on the property’s digital presence, revenue management, and overall Betsy brand. Over the years, the property has welcomed creatives of all kinds, having hosted over 1,000+ writers in the Writer’s Room at The Betsy. Paying homage to the many writing rooms that existed in the pre-war hotels, the Writer’s Room consists of a working studio space where visiting artists can create, develop their craft and share their work within community programming. In more support of the arts, The Betsy offers residency opportunities for professional artists in all disciplines. Residencies can last up to a week and are free of charge. However, residents must contribute a written piece to the property’s blog, participate in a community event to introduce and discuss their work, and donate a recent publication (if available) to one of The Betsy’s libraries in exchange for their stay. Residencies are only granted through an application process.
She is not only the owner, Lesley Goldwasser-Plutzik she also serves as the art and music curator. When she’s not busy being a finance powerhouse in New York, Lesley is curating the property’s nine rotating galleries throughout the lobby and handpicking the fan-favorite Betsy playlists. Through her work, Lesley elevates the visitor’s experience with captivating and inspirational art while also elevating artists’ work and amplifying its reach. Some of The Betsy’s exhibits have found their way to museums’ permanent collections and in solo shows at some of the most respected art institutions in the world, which speaks to the caliber of what is on display. As an avid champion of arts and diversity, The Betsy celebrates the work by and for diverse communities. The property’s Muhammed Ali exhibit, that encompasses an exclusive collection of photos of Ali when he was in Miami in 1964, and the Michael Halsband exhibit, which features the iconic portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol, are only two examples of the diverse art the property features.
While the artwork certainly takes center stage, it’s not the only artistic flare in the building – The Betsy also excels at the art of fine dining. Offering an ample selection when it comes to dining and relieving your cravings – from alfresco options to an incredible indoor ambience. At the signature LT Steak & Seafood guests will encounter a casually elegant dining experience with flavors and techniques from France, Asia, and Latin America using locally sourced ingredients. For those looking for a more relaxed, spontaneous outing, The Alley and La Ventanita are within reach. The Alley is a modern trattoria serving artisanal pizza, handmade pasta, charcuterie, salads, beer, wine, and Italian-inspired cocktails. While over at La Ventanita, a takeout window sitting underneath the beloved poetry rail, offers on-the-go options, including pizza and gelato to enjoy as you make your way to the beach or explore the Art Deco District. Named one of the top boutique hotels in America, The Betsy encompasses simplistic beauty through its elegant design and timeless decor. The 130 rooms spread across two four-story buildings have a contemporary style and accents of Art Deco touches. In 2017, the property expanded to takeover the former Carlton Hotel, a historic transformation on Ocean Drive. The property provides a variety of accommodations that best suit their guests including tranquil rooms, spacious suites, and a glamourous skyline penthouse paired with 1,000-foot wrap-around terrace. An oasis anchoring the quiet end of iconic Ocean Drive, The Betsy is perfectly positioned on one of the most glorious tropical beaches in the world — and has one of the most exciting neighborhoods in America as its backyard. With the lobby being a primary hotspot due to its enlivened art gallery and live jazz seven nights a week, guests who choose to vacation with The Betsy opt in to serene yet lively vibes while conveniently placed at the core of South Beach’s famous Ocean Drive.

HOW ITALY TAUGHT ME TO FIND LUXURY IN NEW YORK CITY WRITTEN BY KIRSTEN JORDAN
Photography by Clare Perry
I
’ve had the fortune to travel all over the world, and there’s no place like New York City. My life is more exciting because I am in the center of the universe surrounded by impressive architecture, world-class restaurants, and amazing human capital. This city attracts the talents of the best and brightest minds and relies on these individuals to keep this major economy in motion. As I work with high-end property sales, I constantly question: What is luxury? My first lesson on the subject was as a student in Rome while on my first long term stay in Western Europe. Culture and history fuse for a sensory experience like no other. The seamless fabric of historical monuments, high end shops, and restaurant decor changed my perception of enjoyment and “good taste” forever... I loved Italy so much that I went back to live there for two years after college; this time in Milan which schooled me on the language, influenced my sense of fashion, and the way I define luxury. I take this with me as I guide my clients toward their dream homes in New York City. Some say luxury is anything that feels special. This year everything looked and felt different. Luxury was health, wellness, and extra space. As people were going to be home so much, they needed a quiet space to work and a different quiet space to relax. One of the things I loved about my little apartment when I lived in Milan was the teeny outdoor space built in to enjoy fresh air. That’s both hard to come by and more important than ever in New York. This season on MDLNY, we’ve seen homes with up to four separate balconies or even a private outdoor pool on 3,000 square feet of outdoor space. That’s even more luxurious now than in 2019!
New York is the city where no matter what luxury means to you, you can find it. We represent sellers that define luxury as quietude and privacy. The property is a full floor residence with windows that create a sense of sanctuary within the home. Recent buyers of ours defined luxury as one-of-kind and they were drawn to the Upper East Side. The neighborhood provides incredible and rare pre-war architecture, which affords you spacious ceiling heights, thicker walls, and ornate details. The area is also known for doorman buildings with white glove service, which provides safety, convenience, and old-world charm. Another buyer we represent, defined luxury as cutting-edge restaurants, nightlife, and the Hudson River Parkat his front door. As such, he is drawn to TriBeCa. You get this fantastic uptown/downtown feel. It’s bustling, but still family friendly. This neighborhood is known for its 19th century mercantileinspired architecture, lofts, and wide streets. To me, TriBeCa is all about the luxury of cubic space (most of the apartments are open lofts with large floor plates). Of course, you have plenty of dining options, from brunch at Bubby’s to dumplings at China Blue to smoked whitefish toast in an old carriage house at Smith & Mills. Plus, it’s walkable to SoHo and The West Village. Yes. Luxury is relative and to enjoy it, you need a clear vision of YOUR version of indulgence and gratification. In my early 20s, there was nothing more luxurious to me than living in Europe the experience influenced my perspective and altered my point of view. Now, living in New York City in a pre-war, doorman building, with enough space for my kids to run around makes me feel like I have “made it.’’ How awesome it is to envision what we want, go out and get it for ourselves, and then look higher to where else we may go? There’s always another level to aspire to, a place to make us wonder who we’d have to grow ourselves into being to live there.

THE ONE AND ONLY ONE SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY MAKING ITS MARK ALONG FLORIDA’S EAST COAST

uilt on a foundation of quality and a passion for artful living, leading luxury real estate brokerage ONE Sotheby’s International Realty is paving the way in a rapidly evolving industry. With offices spanning from Miami and Key Biscayne to Vero Beach and Melbourne, the company is rapidly expanding across Florida’s East Coast – with no slowing down in sight. Marking a banner year in 2020 while faced with historic changes as a result of the pandemic, the brand adapted to stay current and support their agents to deliver record results. We sat down with the company’s founder and CEO Mayi de la Vega, and president Daniel de la Vega, to talk about the booming market and future of luxury living. Elevated: You have managed to curate a unique real estate brand that is recognized around the world, how does ONE Sotheby’s International Realty set itself apart? Mayi de la Vega: We don’t sell real estate; we sell a lifestyle in one of the world’s most appealing place to live, work and play. Nothing compares or competes with the power of the Sotheby’s brand and we are proud to work with agents who understand the industry and can expertly advise clients on lifestyle and investment decisions with a superior level of service. From our unrivaled global network to our forward-thinking technology and marketing techniques – we are driving the evolution of real estate and hyper-focused on empowering our agents to do their jobs better than anyone else in the business.
How did the pandemic impact your business? Daniel de la Vega: Facing challenges with an innovative mindset is in our DNA. We launched the company in 2008 during a global recession, and we are now in 20 offices with more than 1,000 agents. Our culture is everything and we pride ourselves in being resilient, adaptable, and coming together as a team during tough times. The disruption caused by COVID-19 inspired us to intensify our shift to digital, with a new award-winning website, virtual open houses, an ad-builder app and other innovations that kept our agents productive. We also launched programs to support our community and the impact our team made was extremely gratifying. I say that in crisis we don’t merely survive, we thrive. Currently the market across Florida’s East Coast is booming, what are you seeing on the ground? Why is the region so in demand right now? Daniel: Our market experienced an incredible evolution during the pandemic with a staggering increase in demand from buyers looking for a lifestyle change. With remote work came the realization that if you can live anywhere, why not relocate to a city that offers the best of everything? People are flocking to Florida because of the economic advantages, less urban density and warm weather – but they are staying because of the culture and lifestyle that you can’t get anywhere else in the world. This shift has created unprecedented demand with a historic lack of inventory and a reset in pricing that we have never seen before. Our agents are working harder than ever before to match their clients with their dream homes and our company’s tools, technology and unrivaled global network are more relevant now than ever before.

Do you believe this market shift is here to stay? Mayi: This migration isn’t just a “moment” - I feel strongly that it is a long-term movement. There are major firms in the finance and tech industries opening offices or relocating here, expanding business and the workforce across the coast. The feeling is electrifying! These decisions and investments are not being made on a whim, they are well thought out by some of the country’s leading executives and in turn are reshaping the growth and future of the region. How do you envision the future of luxury living? Mayi: The pandemic was a strong indicator for how buyer preferences are shifting, with more of a focus on residences that cater to open lifestyles and access to private amenities. For single-family homes, buyers are looking for expansive outdoor spaces and extra rooms for athome offices, gyms, and kids learning and play areas. For condos, we see people gravitating toward boutique, low density buildings with large outdoor terraces and amenities that make them feel at home. People want privacy but are also social in nature and want to live among likeminded individuals who they can connect with – whether that be in their neighborhood or a vertical community like a condo building. This trend will continue to drive development and the future of luxury living.

DEDEE PFEIFFER COMING FULL CIRCLE

hen Dedee Pfeiffer left Hollywood ten years ago, the current Big Sky star had decided that it was time for a huge change. She had achieved success on the television series Cybill, For Your Love and countless other shows and in films opposite George Clooney, Keanu Reeves and Michael Douglas. Now the single mother of two boys found herself wanting to do something meaningful by bringing light to a world she noticed was becoming darker than she had ever seen. It was her passion for helping those in need that led the actress to Los Angeles’s Pierce and Valley Colleges. “I told the admissions counselor that I wanted to help people. He asked what degree I wanted. I said you tell me. He laughed and said that’s not the way it works! New to college, clearly I did not know how it worked. To say I learned a lot about an assortment of things is an understatement!” It took the determined student ten years to achieve her academic goals. She was excited to earn her transfer to California State University Northridge resulting in her Bachelor of Psychology Degree. Then, “Finally, I was off to UCLA to earn my Master of Social Work degree! My concentration focuses on people experiencing homelessness, substance use and mental illness. I was preparing for a
totally different career path than what I had been doing as a performer for most of my adult life!” says Pfeiffer. For Pfeiffer, helping those living with an addiction is personal. Three years sober, the self-admitted former wild child is very upfront and vocal about her years of quietly struggling with her addiction and trauma. “Everyone’s bottom looks different... I hit mine in my 50’s! Better late than never!” she laughs. “I was finally done allowing my high functioning addiction keep me from being everything I could be, for not only my boys, but myself.” She reveals she did not want to go to the light as her father did with his untreated alcoholism, never reaching his possible potential. Pfeiffer credits her famous television producer brother-in-law, David E. Kelley for her sudden deviation from a career in social work in favor of returning to Hollywood. “David texted me asking if I was still acting? He had a perfect role for me on a new ABC series called Big Sky? My answer was YES!!!” How was Pfeiffer going to raise two boys on a social worker’s salary? “I hadn’t a clue! David inadvertently threw me a lifeline!” She admits that she has auditioned for him multiple times, but never landed a role! That is until the role of Denise came along at just the right time!”
After a successful first season with overwhelming praise from fans and critics, ABC has announced a second season for Big Sky. Ahead of season one, Deadline described her character thusly, “Pfeiffer who is Kelley’s sister-in-law, will play Denise Brisbane, the brash office manager at P.I. firm Dewell and Hoyt who does her best to keep the peace amongst her colleagues while simultaneously exemplifying someone you wouldn’t want to mess with. She’s part psychologist, part Den Mother, and always the biggest presence in the room.” It has not been lost on Pfeiffer that she has come full circle since leaving Hollywood to pursue her academic journey. This time around she has both feet planted on the ground, has made life-altering choices, tackled academia, is in recovery and has come out tougher, wiser, and more vulnerable in favor of truth. Now at 57, the one-time “Wild Pfeiffer” and Playboy centerfold finds herself on a hit primetime network show. “Life is what I make of it. I can choose to exist or live. When I went to rehab, I chose to live. The chance I took by addressing my addiction and trauma has left me with a genuine feeling of freedom because let me tell you, it is exhausting hiding, dodging, and running from your truth! I am a grateful actor who has a Master of Social Work degree and has a deep passion for helping those in need. My dream is to combine these two aspects of my life in order to impact others on a larger scale. I don’t have all the answers. I do have life experience and now an education that comes with great responsibility to give back. My hope is that my doing versus telling my boys to do the right thing will leave them with life skills needed to be the best that they too can be!“
