Go behind the scenes for GRAZIA USA’s shoot with winter cover star Lizzy Caplan

Despite the early morning call time, GRAZIA USA’s winter cover star Lizzy Caplan was all smiles at Smashbox Studio in Los Angeles, chatting with the crew about her love of dogs — and even sharing her favorite baby names. “My sister just gave birth and didn’t name the baby yet, so Lizzy was offering up some of her favorites,” explains stylist Kat Typaldos, who was part of the cover shoot team, along with photographer Emman Montalvan. Caplan has some experience in the babynaming process after welcoming her first child late last year. Three months after, Caplan filmed the FX on Hulu miniseries, Fleishman Is in Trouble (streaming now), followed by the Paramount+ remake of the 1987 hit Fatal Attraction which just wrapped. “She was funny and charming and had a really nice energy.” The day’s soundtrack was a modern take on disco fever and everyone on set “really turned it out,” Typaldos says.

GUEST LIST

Photographer Daniella Midenge shot the issue’s Chanel feature Start Your Engines (page 74) alongside model Kenya Kinski-Jones in Miami Beach, perfectly embodying the brand’s aesthetic. Kevin Amato captured the beauty of Dior’s collection on film for the editorial, It’s a Celebration (page 94). We hope you enjoy their work as much as we do.

SHINE BRIGHT

h, winter. No matter where in the world you live, no matter the weather, there is always an undeniable “sparkle” to the winter season, which this year inspired us to take that theme and run with it.

Nothing on earth sparkles more than jewels (they don’t call it ice for nothing!). In this issue, we get up close and personal with some of the world’s newest and most eye-catching baubles—from Cartier’s celebration of wildlife (pg. 130) to Bulgari’s newest collection, Divas’ Dream (pg. 44). But what fun is a deep dive into jewelry without an unbelievably juicy story about a 92- year-old career jewel thief (that you might be secretly rooting for)? Settle in and let our own Aaron Rasmussen tell you the tale of Doris Payne and her wild escapades as one of the most fabulous jewel thieves of all time (pg. 50). And before you go, be sure to catch the newest collection Tiffany & Co. has created just in time for the holidays (pg. 192).

Speaking of holidays, is everyone gearing up for winter travel season? I know I am (fingers crossed). Should your travels take you over the river and through the woods, and you find yourself in need of some new vacation fashions, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Since emerging from our travel-restricted pandemic world, top designers were at last back in their full glory this season, once again putting together Cruise collections presented in fabulous far-flung locations around the globe, and we’re sharing with you a round-up of some of our favorites. On the runway? Everything from the perfectly sublime, fado-inspired collection presented by Max Mara in the lush gardens of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Portugal, to the revved-up Grand Prix-meets-Casino de Monte Carlo raciness of Virgine Viard’s Chanel

collection, shown on the sands of Monaco’s Monte Carlo Beach. Plus, for her Dior Cruise ’23 collection presented in Seville, Spain, Maria Grazia Chiuri treated attendees to a flamenco extravaganza, while at Louis Vuitton, Nicolas Ghesquière clashed the setting of the brutalist Selk Institute in San Diego, California with the bright futurism of his designs—to dizzying results.

All of this leads to the indisputably fabulous and fashion-forward Lizzy Caplan (pg. 54), who so perfectly captured our collective teenage angst as Janice in Mean Girls and then revealed an inviable depth in her Emmy-nominated role as Virginia Johnson (of Masters and Johnson fame) in Showtime’s Masters of Sex. We now know she means business with her two fascinating new projects: FX’s Fleishman Is in Trouble, opposite Claire Danes and Jesse Eisenberg on Hulu, followed by a remake of the Hollywood classic film Fatal Attraction on Paramount+. In the latter, Caplan will take on the role of Alex Forrest (originally portrayed by the legendary Glenn Close), a woman scorned. For our winter issue, Caplan sits down with Colleen Kratofil for a chat about choosing her roles, her disengagement from social media and how she’s balancing new motherhood with her busy acting career.

On screen, Caplan’s wit and fierce integrity alight from inside, making her, yes, sparkle like a rare and precious jewel.

VALÉRIE MESSIKA

My love of diamonds all began during childhood because my father is a diamond dealer. I grew up surrounded by diamonds because he often came home with them. I used to play with diamonds without any mountings and would put them in the middle of my fingers and try to envision it was a ring. I joined my father in the design and trading business and I traveled all over the world. I was 23, 24 years old and I saw at that time that there was no brand that corresponded to my age and also to my taste. I was very, very tired about hearing that diamonds were forever. I understood that there was an empty place for a brand that could be quite affordable starting from 500 Euro to 5,000 Euro and be something that was quite cool, young and fresh. This was my original goal when I launched Messika. I wanted to compete with shoe or bag brands — places where people shopped to buy things for themselves. I started very spontaneously without making any big studies. I made very simple jewelry to simply pay tribute to the beauty of the diamonds.

Growth didn’t happen overnight. I started small and the more I gained confidence in myself, the more the brand matured. When I decided to go into high jewelry pieces, I wanted to give exactly the same cool, sexy vibes and create trendy pieces that you can wear. It was a change at that time to speak about diamonds in this way.

I have been very lucky since launching in 2005 to be surrounded by people who

complete me in terms of managing, sales, commercial parts and financial parts. So I think that’s the most important part of running a business because you cannot do everything on your own. I was very lucky because I still have the same team from the very beginning — and one of them has since become my husband. One moment over the years that I’m really proud of is when

it was a huge success. We want to reach the young generation organically, so it was the perfect match.

Beyoncé wore my jewelry. Almost 10 years ago, she fell in love with one of our rings. The brand was not, of course, at this huge stage yet and for me she embodies so many values that I really adore. Another proud moment was when I celebrated the Move collection in 2017 by launching a co-design limited-edition collection with Gigi Hadid. She embodies the coolness of the brand. Plus,

We’ve gone on to stage fashion shows, which is a very tricky exercise. Instead of putting jewelry in a showcase, I want them to live, I want clients to feel the way it fits. It was very risky. I was very afraid, to be honest, but I said I have to push myself. We even got Naomi Campbell to walk this year. She was not supposed to come and two days before she said, “Okay, why not? I can come earlier and I would love to close the show.” Next up is focusing on extending the brand all over the world. The Asia market is doing very well. I really would like to expand more in America, which is the market I love so much. And we have been worn by so many American women. I was very, very lucky to also be worn on the red carpet, which is just amazing. You never know what’s next, maybe one day a watch. I love to create so I can do many different things. As a way to give back, I created the MESSIKA CARE(s) collection, which provides aid to the women and children of Lebanon. Proceeds from every purchase is donated to CARE NGO, an organization that provides special support to the most disadvantaged people in Lebanon who are experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. When I need to recharge when I’m working in Paris, I go to my country home and I just try to quit [work] as much as I can to play with my girls, play tennis, and connect with nature. My daughters are still at the age that it’s priceless because they have a lot of innocence at 11 and 9. I want them to see that their parents are very passionate about what they’re doing and very dedicated to their work because in life nothing can happen without work.

JAY SHETTY

When I was 18, I had met people that were famous and met people that were rich, that were strong, that were beautiful and attractive, but I don’t think I’d met anyone who was truly happy. Then I met a monk for the first time — he was happy. I thought to myself, “I want what he has.” I was inspired by seeing how content and how confident and how happy the monks were. I just deeply wanted to understand how they’d discovered that in a world that was chaotic and difficult.

When I graduated, I lived as a monk from 2010 to 2013. During that time, I woke up at 4 a.m. every day. I slept on the floor and lived out of a gym locker that fit all of my possessions and had two robes — one to wear, one to wash. It was truly a really special time where I learned some really powerful skills. One of them was adaptability, the idea that we didn’t know what was going to happen every day. We were moving around, sleeping in a different space every day. I didn’t have a room that was my own. That really taught me how to deal with uncertainty. Another skill was this idea of self-mastery. When you’re silent for long periods of time, first your mind goes crazy and is really loud. And then you learn to steady it, it gets quieter and you are able to make sense of the thoughts in your head. For me, the ability to have self-mastery and silence the mind and be able to direct energy to where I wanted it to go was really powerful.

When I left, I was 25 and went back to the corporate world because I was $25,000 in debt. I moved back in with my parents but they are

not well off, so I couldn’t just rely on them.

Despite having performed exceptionally well at school, I applied to 40 companies before I got a yes, because, surprise, surprise, no one wanted to hire someone who’d been a monk. Everyone was like: “What are your transferable skills?

Sitting still and being silent are not exactly what we’re looking for.” I finally got a job at Accenture. Even though I worked in digital

pitching a mindful video series to lots of media companies, and I was rejected by 10 of them. I went to a TV presenter’s training day for ethnic minorities, and they told me that I should start a YouTube channel. My videos caught the eye of Arianna Huffington and within three months of me posting weekly to YouTube, she asked me if she could share those videos on HuffPost. The first four videos shared did over 100 million views. It was the first point of my career change. I moved to the U.S. in 2019, I launched my podcast On Purpose, which today is the number one health podcast in the world.

I launched my book in 2020, which became a number one New York Times and Amazon best seller. And then, we launched a lot of education programs and my coaching certification school, where we certify and credit life coaches. I recently became the chief purpose officer at Calm. My new book comes out on January 31 and I will go on my first ever world tour. I have been online for so many years that to actually get the opportunity to hold people’s hands, look them in the eyes and hug them, I’m extremely excited to be with my community in person.

strategy and social media, I actually got to share my passion there and taught meditation.

I started to see just how powerful the tools and techniques I’d learned as a monk were and that gave me more faith that I should be able to share these with anyone in the world.

I started doing talks in London and usually like five people would show up and sometimes no one would show up. I started

I’ve kind of dedicated my life to helping people discover their potential and find their purpose. I feel deeply grateful and humbled for every person who takes out time to listen to a podcast, to watch a video, to read my book, because I’ve done this for so many years. To be in a position where we’ve had billions of views, hundreds of millions of downloads, millions of books sold, it’s just truly something I’m so grateful for. My heart goes out to everyone who feels that I’m useful in their journey of self-discovery. —

TILER PECK

My mom always said that whenever I could walk, I was just always dancing.

She owned a dance studio, and she would put me in my age-appropriate class and, somehow, I would always get into the big kids’ room trying to do what they were doing.

I have videos of a solo when I’m 4 years old and I could remember a three-minute dance. At 6, I could keep up with 18-year-old dancers. Since I started dancing at age 2 or 3 it’s always been a part of my life. My mom wanted me to be surrounded by more talented dancers that would really push me, so my grandmother would drive me three hours, four or five days a week, from ages 6 to 11 to the best studio for jazz, which was my favorite dance at that time. I was always trying to get out of ballet class, but my mom was a ballet teacher, so she always said, “In order for you to be great at any form of dance, you have to have technique and that comes from ballet.” When you’re younger, it takes the most discipline, plus it’s classical music versus dancing to songs you know, so it’s just not as fun. I’m so grateful that she really made me stick with it because I would never have the career that I do at the New York City Ballet had I not had that really great technical foundation.

When I was 11, I got a part in The Music Man on Broadway and moved to New York City for a year. My father took me to see The Nutcracker in the New York City Ballet, and I said, “Daddy, I’m going to dance on that stage someday.” There was something so magical about it. Ballet wasn’t

the easiest for me. I felt like I was a much stronger in jazz and hip hop, but I said, “I’m going to work hard and I really want to try to become a ballerina.” And that’s what I did. I worked my butt off. I got into the [New York City Ballet] when I was 15 years old, which is young, and within four years, I was a principal dancer at the company.

aspect is so connected to the physical. I think that if you have a healthy mindset it makes for a healthier physique. I think my longevity, honestly, comes from balance, and I think that from a young age my mom set me up in a very balanced way. I wasn’t home schooled and even if I was in a car going three hours there and three hours back, she really tried to make me feel as normal as possible.

Another reason for my longevity is that I’m also just really responsible. My nights are not spent partying. My nights are spent taping my body so that I can work as the top athlete that I have to be the next day.

The older I’m getting, the smarter I must be with what I need to do to get through the day. Normally I’d have six hours a day of rehearsal, and I could do every single rehearsal full out and now it’s like, “Okay, which ones am I going to pick to really do full out?”

Basically, I do all of the forms of dance that I did when I was younger, I just wear pointe shoes now. And that’s what’s great about New York City Ballet — i’s not super classical. I think if I was in a super classical company, I don’t know if I would have the same outlook, but it’s just the perfect fit for me.

Being in the company for 18 years, I know more than anyone that the mental

Now, I’m dancing in The Nutcracker and starring in The Hip Hop Nutcracker on Disney+. Next, I’m going on tour with a show I created earlier this year. I danced in it, and I directed it and I’m really excited to be producing it again in various places where I bring 10 dancers with me. I’ve also been choreographing for the Boston Ballet and the Vail Dance Festival. Plus, I have a partnership with the clothing line Stateside with something exciting coming soon.

In the future, I would like to direct a company. I would like to hope that I’d be an inspiring director. Some kids set out and they’re like, “I want to be a ballerina.” That just wasn’t me. I found it when I was 11, which is still young, but now I couldn’t think of [life] any other way.

From travel daydreams to community initiatives, the Kerzner International CEO reveals the magic behind One&Only Resorts

Ialways knew that my passion was travel, that never-ending story that grows you as an individual. It grows your soul; it opens your eyes. I’m so lucky because I started to travel as soon as I was able to work and to live on my own. I could try to find an explanation for it — “It comes from my parents or it comes from my grandparents.” But in my family, I’m the only one who travels so extensively. I come from a background and family in which entrepreneurship always has been the key element. I’m lucky to be part of an organization, Kerzner International, that has such great bones; Sol Kerzner was a maverick in the industry. He totally broke the mold, making something absolutely unique and special. I must say that the organization itself is extremely entrepreneurial, and we have a startup mentality. My duty as a CEO is to make sure that we keep this legacy and mindset going, that we push boundaries and push people to go beyond what a hospitality company should offer. I’m very proud that each One&Only is a brand-new One&Only. We don’t do cookie cutter or copy and paste — every time we start with a blank page. I don’t think that that many companies in the hospitality space are as ambitious as we are. Our brands are extremely emotionally driven, which is really, really key to our approach to protecting the brand. As an organization, we did something that I don’t think any organization has committed to: We decided to cap the growth of One&Only to 35 standalone, unique and bespoke properties across the globe. Why that number? Because we want to make sure that One&Only Resorts remain as ultra-luxury

destinations for like-minded people, for ultraluxury networks of individuals, and that we as an organization control the quality and make sure that each One&Only stays true to our brand. Right now, we have 12 properties, but we have a very strong pipeline. In 2023, we will be opening three One&Only Resorts: One&Only Kéa Island and One&Only Aesthesis, both in Greece, and One&Only One Za’abeel in

gorilla and we are unlocking Rwanda. Many, many guests were never ever thinking of going to Rwanda. It was extremely niche. But now people say if One&Only is there, this is my time: I want to go to Rwanda; I want to experience that absolutely beautiful country and I want to be part of this journey. My family and I did that as our first big vacation after COVID. We want to test it again to make sure that it was not just a dream, that it was really real. We have a lot of lot of local initiatives that especially support the communities that have a One&Only. Countries have different requirements and needs, so we give each of the resorts a lot of flexibility and opportunity to be able to adjust and adapt locally and to make sure that we impact communities in a positive way.

Dubai. We have eight more in development and need only to secure the last 12, so this list is getting smaller, and we are making sure that the next ones that will join the collection will be exciting and unique.

We are so much more than a hospitality organization. For example, One&Only Gorilla’s Nest in Rwanda is an absolutely ultra-luxury resort that gives you access to the mountain

We work with a very sophisticated clientele that is so well traveled and knows luxury. The destination is an important element, but after that it’s the amenities, services and how you make sure that it’s becoming a very comfortable, memorable and unique journey. Our approach to luxury is that we make it extremely simple and very personal. And that’s why it’s so successful — because we’re not working based on standards, but at the pace of our clients. So if you want quiet time, we give you quiet time. If you want to be entertained, we entertain you. If you want to have five activities per day — windsurfing, mountain biking, horse riding, polo — we give that to you. This gives you the feeling that you are part of an ultra-luxe club, which is really priceless.

Travel is a mindset, one that I’m addicted to. I often travel by dreaming. The more you travel, the more you become an expert and the more you fall in love with it.

BABBA C. RIVERA

Ever since I was a child, I felt like an entrepreneur at heart. I was opinionated, creative, and didn’t take the status quo as a hard truth. I never liked hierarchy. I remember presenting ideas and diving into projects outside of my scope, even as an intern. The question was never if I would become an entrepreneur, but more so, when, and how.

My journey began with Uber, and it was an incredible opportunity for me as a young and ambitious woman. It was daunting to leave a company I had been with for so long and branch out on my own. I needed a push to pull the trigger and resign, so I left Uber for the company Away. Then, I realized I needed to do my own thing. I didn’t feel like I had another five years in me to work for someone else.

I decided to take a leap of faith and start my own brand marketing agency, bybabba. I will always look back on that chapter with so much joy. It taught me so much and laid the perfect foundation for my second company, Ceremonia.

After working with many beauty brands, I did a lot of research in the haircare space to better understand the landscape. It became very clear to me that the future of beauty is clean and inclusive. The Latinx demographic accounts for not only the largest minority in the U.S., but also the top spenders within the category, spending 46% more on hair products than non-Hispanics. Despite this data, the status quo looked very different, especially in the hair aisle. Hair is the fastest growing category within beauty, and the Latinx demographic is the fastest growing, yet most underserved, consumer opportunity today.

I felt an incredible void in the market for a wellness approach to hair, coupled with a desire to increase representation of my community and culture within beauty. The hair category was years behind other areas of beauty, like skincare and makeup. As a customer, I was looking for a highperforming and clean offering, versus just masking symptoms under heavy chemicals. I

the future of beauty is clean, sustainable, and inclusive. Powered by natural ingredients from Latin America, Ceremonia is on a mission to redefine the hair aisle. In five years, we’ve become a household name as a category disrupter.

I dream of paving the way for future Latinx businesses. I can’t think of a better way to do so than by creating a successful Latinx benchmark in the market. One day, I hope to be able to advise and invest in mission-driven founders to help accelerate the future of equality and representation.

Being an entrepreneur has allowed me to design life on my own terms. The journey of a solo founder is far from chill or balanced, but it’s brought me a lot of joy and empowerment. While I think you can have it all, I don’t think you can have it all at once. I’m laser focused on my company and my children. The small pockets of time in-between, I prioritize self-care and wellness in the most efficient way possible. One superpower I’ve unlocked since becoming a mom is being extremely efficient.

began to feel a strong sense of responsibility to propel change and be part of the solution.

Ceremonia was born out of the desire to celebrate the richness of Latin culture, inspired by my heritage and the rituals I grew up with as the daughter of a Latin American hairdresser father.

We’re flipping the script through a hair wellness approach. It’s obvious to me that

I live by the mantra that things are better done than perfect. Just put one foot in front of the other, one step at a time. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t always moving in the perfect direction, but what will ensure you get to the right place eventually, is to keep moving.

I’ve never had a perfectly planned roadmap for my future, but I’m an excellent manifester of life. I let myself gravitate towards what brings me joy, and I believe that we tend to see the greatest success when we focus on the things that bring us joy. When work doesn’t feel like work, that’s the true advantage.

However, in this complex world, beset with an intellectual property arms race across technology, media, and other creative industries, the need to use the law to safeguard such interests is greater than ever before—and for many, you’d be surprised what your rights may include.

In the past few years, I have represented The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star Alfonso Ribeiro, along with choreographer Kyle Hanagami, saxophonist Leo P, dancer and social media personality Russell “Backpack Kid” Horning, and rappers 2 Milly and Blocboy JB, among others. My representation was not for the typical celebrity legal fare. It was for something far more important: their stock-in-trade. My clients claimed the games developer, Epic Games, copied and sold their dance moves within its massively popular battle royale title “Fortnite” without permission or compensation. While some of my clients were successful in receiving fair and reasonable compensation — and proper recognition — for their misappropriated likenesses and infringed works, others are still fighting. This is in large part the raison d’etre for my law firm, Hecht Partners LLP, which goes toe-to-toe each day with adversaries, like Epic Games, who in most cases, are represented by some of the most respected counsel in the country. While we frequently achieve significant wins in our cases, these results are not the sole driving force for our firm. We hope to spread awareness that creatives and inventors — large, small and in all forms — need not be afraid to secure rights to their intellectual property and enforce it against corporate behemoths.

Copyrighting movement is about putting the power back in the artist’s hands. We set a historic

precedent when we registered the choreography to “Single Ladies – Put a Ring On It” on behalf of another firm client, JaQuel Knight, and we are ready, willing and able to assist the next generation of creatives (and inventors) to afford them same resources and representation to survive and thrive. Hecht Partners LLP also has significant experience in high-tech cases, which typically involve complex technologies. Nearly every case we take

But I was eager to switch to the plaintiff’s side and bring the kind of cases I typically found myself defending against at Biglaw. So, I decided to form my own firm and organize things quite differently than the large firms where I cut my teeth as a young lawyer.

I was bitten by the entrepreneurship bug long before I went to law school; when I was a broke college student, I ran a little computer resale business out of my dorm room. Even as I worked 3000+ hours as an associate at Biglaw, I spent whatever free time I had focused on real estate investment. I even purchased an event space in Manhattan, with the goal of having a dazzling place in the city to host events and potentially drum up business. So, I suppose it was inevitable that I would eventually start my own law firm.

Hecht Partners LLP was founded in 2020 and boasts impressive roster of mostly exBiglaw attorneys. The firm is honored to represent plaintiffs ranging from genocide victims to tech startups. We love our clients, and our clients love the firm: for example, since 2020, clients have consistently recommended me for inclusion in the “Patent 1000” as one of the leading patents lawyers in the world. I have also been listed as a “Billboard Top Music Lawyer” in connection with my work for choreographers.

on is a David vs. Goliath battle, and we are often on the offense. These days, the defense bar really digs in their heels, even when a case is weak –which makes our job even more difficult. But we are relentless.

I began my career at some of the largest law firms in the world, known as “Biglaw.” I fought in the “smartphone patent wars” when I practiced at the business litigation powerhouse, Quinn Emanuel.

The goal of every lawyer at the firm is to zealously advocate for and assist our clients in achieving, and typically exceeding, their objectives. We litigate to win -- our fees are never the main objective.

I turned 40 in November, but rather than reflecting on the past, I’m focused on the future.

My goal is to ensure the firm remains on very secure footing so we can ensure a lasting legacy. Part of that legacy is to provide access to justice for new potential clients.

TIFFANY MOON

Whenever people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said doctor.

I graduated from medical school at the ripe age of 23, and I’ve been practicing anesthesiology ever since. I later ran into a midlife crisis where I thought, “Is this all I’m going to do for the rest of my life?” Don’t get me wrong — being a mother and a full-time physician is incredible work, but I just felt like there was something missing in my life. I had this entrepreneurial itch that wasn’t being scratched. I always thought it would be cool to run my own company and learn about business, marketing and advertising.

My husband is an entrepreneur and believed I could have a company, too. When the COVID-19 pandemic started, I launched my line of Aromasthesia candles. I have severe anxiety, which is another reason I like to stay busy. I would go down to the basement after the kids were asleep and mix essential oils. I mailed COVID care packages to all my healthcare workers across the U.S. with a little note that read: “Thank you for hanging in there. Hope you enjoy this candle.”

One of my friends said, “This is the best candle I’ve ever had. You should sell these online. I bet people would buy them.” I then went and made them, put them on Instagram, and people bought them, and they immediately sold out.

When I was working in the hospital during COVID, I would worry about bringing the illness to my family. Nurses and doctors were feeling burnt out. As a result, I cut back on my work at the hospital and I grew my business the rest of the time, which also involves the private wine label I run with my husband, Three Moons.

I often get asked how I balance it all, and the thing I tell people is that I’m not given some magical 28-hour day, but I am good at time management. They say it takes a village, and I have incredible people helping me out, but I also work hard.

After being on The Real Housewives of Dallas, I have a platform and some responsibility to speak out. Being on a reality show that features

learned so much about myself, and I’ve made a ton of new friends. People frequently reach out to me and say, “Thank you for standing up for the AAPI community” or “I also have feelings of mom guilt,” so it really enabled me to increase my platform, and I’m so grateful for that. However, if you thought I was going to transition from reality star to a candlemaker, that won’t happen. I intend to keep practicing [anesthesiology].

It’s incredibly humbling when women come up to me at events or reach out to me via email. They inspire me. Those messages make me want to keep going and be successful because I feel I can’t let these people down. They believe in me, so I have to do better.

In the next five years, I intend to keep practicing anesthesiology, but I also want to keep my candle business and watch it grow.

I want to get the word out about my business because I’m passionate about candles!

I also want to continue my work advocating for the AAPI community and the domestic violence shelter I work with. I would love to start my own charity foundation one day, but right now, my twin girls are 7 and they demand a lot of my time. I want to be present for them.

middle-aged women who often misbehave, I don’t think anyone expects me to be the voice of reason for social and societal issues. I am, however, passionate about supporting the Asian community, gender equity in the workplace, and speaking out about domestic violence because of my personal experience with it. I do think the needle is moving in the right direction.

I don’t regret joining the Bravo series. I’ve

As a person who immigrated to the United States at an early age, struggled growing up without many friends, and was socially awkward, I still was able to became a doctor. I feel like I may have a few nuggets of wisdom to impart to the younger generation. I want to keep working and maybe one day write a book.

I am a hustler, and I am not going to say it has all come easy for me. I work hard and have a very hectic schedule, but I feel that it’s all worth it.

– AS TOLD TO JACLYN ROTH

From starring on reality television to starting her own candle business and working as an anesthesiologist, there’s nothing this entrepreneur can’t do

A childlike sense of wonder is the spark that sets ablaze the world of a fairy tale. It’s the fire that illuminates within an emerald that glistens like a dewy leaf or the ruby that becomes the beating heart of a rose

BULGARI BRINGS CLASSIC ROMAN HERITAGE AND PLAYFUL FEMININITY TO THE NEWEST ITERATIONS OF THEIR ICONIC COLLECTION

Words by KARLI POLIZIANI

ith a rich history rooted in Roman excellence and refined craftsmanship, Bulgari is continuing to build upon its legacy with yet another exquisite jewelry launch. This season, the Italian brand is encouraging a never-ending search for beauty with their Divas’ Dream collection.

The fine jewelry inspiration came from Bulgari’s classic fan-shaped design with a feminine flair. The focal point of each piece is an opaque stone shining through a pavé diamond frame of 18-kt rose gold. The newest iterations come just in time for the holidays with timeless motherof-pearl and winter green malachite variations.

The 2022 novelty styles include a pendant necklace, contraire ring, stud earrings, openwork fan bracelet and a brand-new iteration of their iconic Divas’ Dream

necklace. This creation boasts an openwork fan set in the center of a double chain, with a diamond fan and mother-of-pearl fan delicately hanging beneath it.

Bulgari’s Divas’ Dream High Jewellery brings an elevated playfulness through vivacious colors and opulent textures. Versatility has been added to these necklaces through an adjustable and detachable chain, varying its length and wearability — with the option to change the necklace into a decadent bracelet.

The center cabochon-cut stone is rich in Roman history. Bulgari’s hallmark over the years has been glorifying Roman cupolas and playing off the brand’s mid-1950s chromatic gemstone combinations. Wearers can choose between mandarin garnet, rubellite, tanzanite, citrine, tourmaline or amethyst framed by colorful, leafshaped gems — making the Divas’ Dream collection an elegant must-have for the holiday season.

Perfect TIMING

SOTHEBY’S AND BUCHERER COMBINED FORCES TO CREATE A SEAMLESS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED LUXURY WATCH ONLINE MARKETPLACE

Words by COLLEEN KRATOFIL

Attention all watch aficionados:

It’s now easier than ever to find and purchase rare, vintage timepiece thanks to the latest partnership between Sotheby’s and Bucherer. Last year, the luxury jewelry and watch brand teamed up with the premier auction house for an exhibition of Sotheby’s items at the Bucherer store in Geneva. Bucherer’s certified pre-owned (CPO) timepieces were available for the first time at a follow-up Sotheby’s auction in the watch capital of the world. Now, Sotheby’s and Bucherer’s partnership is going global with a brand-new online marketplace experience.

In August, Sotheby’s debuted one of the largest collection of pre-owned luxury watches for sale online (all certified by the renowned watchmakers of Bucherer), including sought-after vintage designs from Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, IWC, Jaeger Le Coultre, Omega and Cartier, to name a few.

“There’s not another auction house that is connected with a business like Bucherer — the authenticity, the warranty, it’s something that’s new for the watch collecting world, certainly in the auction space and to the auction audience,” Josh Pullan, Head of Sotheby’s Global Luxury Division, tells GRAZIA USA “There is nowhere else that you can shop with this level of quality, the depth of the assortment, and the trust that comes with it. We’re seeing fantastic responses from buyers all

over the world.”

It’s little wonder since each watch undergoes a rigorous test to meet Bucherer standards and comes with an international two-year guarantee. “The watch is taken apart and every single item is examined by our certified watchmakers,” says Stav R Martens, Bucherer’s Head of CX, CRM and Commercial Partnerships. “That timepiece is not just authenticated but also certified. It’s quite a unique selling point for both brands to be able to offer to our clients.”

The digital marketplace ships to over 70 countries, but if you happen to find yourself in New York City, Sotheby’s BuyNow Marketplace is available at Bucherer’s TimeMachine location and features an array of pieces across luxury categories, including handbags, sneakers, art, whiskey, wine and spirits. “We wanted to combine a selection of highly curated luxury goods by Sotheby’s in our space and include an experimental part,” Martens explains. “We’ve hosted several events, like an evening of CPO and whiskey pairings to find a timepiece produced the same year as the whiskey. We really want to build on that success in the future.”

Pullan points out, “If you’re collecting watches, there’s a good chance that you are passionate about whiskey or sneakers or handbags. There’s a lot of overlap and ways to make it creative and exciting and interesting.”

What better way to kick off the new year than with a thrilling one-of-a-kind find.

LOOKING FORWAR D

Q UEEN ICE

Words by AARON RASMUSSEN

n a summer day in 1974, a stylish light-skinned American Black woman with a polished demeanor and captivating eyes stepped out of the Hôtel de Paris in Monte Carlo. She told those who made her acquaintance that fateful day that she was the wife of famous director Otto Preminger, making her instantly well received. Those who knew her personally, however, called her Doris.

Doris Marie Payne, then 44, had good reason to hide her real identity while in Monaco, and it wasn’t because she was connected to a celebrity and craving anonymity as she shopped for pricey jewelry at Cartier during this final stop on her whirlwind European getaway.

In the luxury boutique, she recalls in the documentary The Life and Crimes of Doris Payne, “The salesperson had rounded up pieces to show me,” including a 10.5-carat diamond ring worth $550,000, or around $2.5 million today, “but he set it down and went to [another] patron who had just come into the shop.”

After she left and was safely in a cab, Payne realized she had made a huge mistake when she looked at the bauble she had just swiped: The price tag contained zero after zero. “Never saw that many in my life,” she says. “I broke out in a sweat and everything. I was freaked out thinking I had taken something that the whole world was going to be looking for.”

Police indeed went on the immediate hunt for her and the ring, and they found the former but not latter at the airport in Nice. Upon being detained, Payne managed to surreptitiously slip the ring into her mouth, starting an impressive series of juggling that kept the prized piece of jewelry from being found. First, a sneeze delivered the ring into a tissue, and it was later hidden in her pantyhose during a strip search. Despite police not locating the ring, Payne was escorted to a hotel to be held in custody (Monte Carlo had no facilities at the time for detained women), and they placed a female guard outside her door. Payne, still on her game despite the setback, asked the unsuspecting officer for a nail clipper from her confiscated luggage, as well as a needle and thread to mend a hem. “I used the toenail clippers to pry the diamond out of the mounting,” she says of her biggest score ever. “I

Doris Payne detailed her escapades in her memoir, Diamond Doris.

threw the mounting in the Mediterranean.” She then sewed the ring into her girdle. Nobody ever found the diamond, which Payne later sold in New York City.

“I’ve been a jewel thief for many many years,” Payne says. “I am exceptionally proud of my being the very opposite of what is expected.”

The daughter of a Black father and Cherokee mother, Payne grew up impoverished in Slab Fork, West Virginia. Now 92, she taught herself the skills that she would use throughout her life to pilfer jewels. “From a little girl, I liked to dress up. I had my purse and my hat,” she says. “I played a game by myself called Ms. Lady.”

Criminal reports filed over the decades detail Payne’s ability to put shopkeepers at ease. “She was attractive,” police wrote after one theft. In another document, officers noted Payne was “so sharply dressed” and “looked like a model.”

Once Payne found her ideal mark — someone who was the “combination of eager to please and stupid,” she writes in her memoir, Diamond Doris — she pounced. The seasoned jewel thief’s modus operandi was to dazzle, confuse, acquire and then quickly slip away. According to Payne, she would request to see multiple pieces and then try them on at a dizzying pace, moving the jewelry around too fast for the shopkeeper to keep track. At times, she’d distract the salesperson and hide the piece, only to “discover” it when its disappearance was noted, building trust with salespeople. With the next distraction, she’d grab the real object of her desire and then leave.

Payne turned out to be just as good at slipping out of custody as she was stores. She escaped multiple times after she was held on suspicion of stealing. “I never went to jail and stayed,” she says. “That is the reputation I wanted. I knew I

could get out.”

Her favorite catch-me-if-you-can moment occurred one night in 1980 after she “had a field day” stealing Rolexes from a shop in Zurich, Switzerland. Following the caper, she went to a nightclub and broke her rule of not drinking alcohol. “Next thing I know, I’m up and dancing,” she says. “I’m having a great time.”

Little did she know that the club broadcast the dance floor to the city’s residents so they could watch the revelry at home. When she left the nightclub, authorities nabbed her and escorted her on to what should have been a nonstop train heading to the embassy in Geneva, where she was to be detained. “It stopped for water. I jumped off the train,” Payne says, noting she ended up with scratches and thorns in her hair after running through a field. “It was funny too, later, because I looked so bad. I looked awful.”

Through the years, Payne has used at least 32 aliases, 11 social security numbers and passports in nine different names. She’s unapologetic and insists her elaborate ruses and crimes have always been victimless and have “nothing to do with my

moral fiber.”

San Diego Police Detective Thomas Jacques disagrees. In the documentary about Payne’s life he admits she “was a nice old lady” and “seemed like my mom and grandparents” after he came into contact with her following her January 2010 arrest for stealing an $8,900 emerald-cut diamond ring from Macy’s. But, he adds, “I think she’s romanticized this beyond what it really is. She’s a thief and what she does affects other people.”

Still, California-based lawyer Gretchen Von Helms, employed by Payne as her defense attorney, once told a judge in court her client “never hurts anybody” and “is not forceful.”

In recent years, surveillance video, the Internet and other modern innovations have curtailed Payne’s ability to successfully camouflage her identity and operate as a criminal in cities around the world — not that she’s stopped trying. In 2011, at age 80, she was found guilty of two counts of theft and sentenced to five years behind bars in connection with the Macy’s case. She was released because of overcrowding less than three years later, but she’s since been arrested multiple times for stealing pricey jewelry, including in 2013 when she lifted a 12-carat white gold ring worth $22,000 from a boutique in Palm Desert, California.

“Stealing jewelry, it was just exciting. It also became a social outlet for me. That was my everything,” the nonagenarian says of her 60-year criminal career. “I don’t regret being a jewel thief. Do I regret getting caught? Yes.”

“STEALING JEWELRY, IT WAS JUST EXCITING. IT ALSO BECAME A SOCIAL OUTLET FOR ME. THAT WAS MY EVERYTHING.”

GRAZIA DOING IT

CAPLAN:

By now, you may have heard the buzz circulating around the new must-watch, binge-worthy streaming series: Fleishman Is in Trouble. It’s based off the 2019 novel of the same name starring Jesse Eisenberg, Claire Danes, Adam Brody and Lizzy Caplan. Despite what the title suggests, it’s Caplan’s portrayal of Libby Epstein, a college pal of Eisenberg’s character Toby Fleishman, that steals the show with her superb acting and narration work throughout the series. She may not star as the titular character, but she makes her mark — and acting abilities — known. Staying out of the limelight but letting her talents shine parallels Caplan’s own life, too.

Odds are you probably don’t know much about Caplan herself — she’s not on social media and despite decades of successful roles, she’s managed to avoid the spotlight’s glare when it comes to her personal life. She was able to quietly welcome a son last year with her husband, the actor Tom Riley, but as the rave reviews for her role in Fleishman Is in Trouble keep coming, it’s clear her star is only going to continue to rise and fans inevitably will be clamoring to know more about her. Caplan might not ever want to live life in the pages of tabloids, but she’s opening up to GRAZIA USA about her marriage, her son and what comes next.

After catching up with the Emmy Awardnominated actress, it was immediately clear just how focused she is on her craft. Her dedication explains why she’s one of the few stars who hasn’t given into the pressure of being on social media. “There was definitely a period of time, probably around 2016, where it was starting to feel mandatory that if you were an actor, you had to also have this social media presence,” says Caplan, 40. “I managed to avoid it and I still am happy that I did. I do think that it makes the job more difficult. The more people know you and have opinions

about you as a person, the harder it is for you to be believable as you disappear into a role.”

Caplan notes that social media platforms have their benefits, like helping to raise awareness about global social concerns such as the protests in Iran but, overall, she believes the negatives “far outweigh” the positives. “It’s made everything worse in the world and everybody more unhappy generally,” she says.

“I think it’s making us all much more inwardglancing and insular. I never liked it; I still kind of don’t like it, and now I just feel like a dinosaur. But there’s a part of me that thinks I’m going to be proven right or everybody just decides that they need to delete their social media. So, we’ll see.”

She may be on to something. When it’s pointed out that many users have abandoned Twitter after Elon Musk purchased the company in October, Caplan jokes with deadpan delivery: “Yeah, I called that one. I was talking about it in 2016. I knew that Elon Musk was going to buy Twitter and drive it into the dirt within three weeks. I knew.”

With so much career success at her back, Caplan continues to walk a fine line between safeguarding the online anonymity she holds sacred, but she’s happy to open up

to GRAZIA USA about a very important development in her personal life — and who could blame her? She’s thrilled to embrace the joys of motherhood after welcoming a son, Alfie, in 2021 with her husband of five years, the English actor Tom Riley. “There are moments where you’re just watching this little person do a thing and you’re just beaming at him and you don’t even realize you’re beaming until maybe you see a picture of yourself watching him do this thing and you realize, ‘Oh my, I’m smiling so much right now.’ I was smiling without being totally aware that I’m smiling — it’s like this unrivaled pure joy,” she gushes.

The star waited until later in life to have a child with 41-year-old Riley, whom she calls “father of the century.” “We got a lot of life in before we had a kid, so we were both very ready to do this,” she says. “And it’s just so much more mind blowing and better than you could imagine before actually going through with it. That’s been our experience.”

Another thing that adds a special connection to their relationship is their shared profession. Caplan acknowledges that some actors never want to date another actor, but the actress says she doesn’t really understand that viewpoint. “I like having the common ground,” she says. “I like that my husband and I can talk about anything that’s happened on set and he will know exactly what I’m talking about. The trade-off is that you’re both in such an unpredictable line of work, and that of course has its ups and downs. But for me it’s not even a question that getting the understanding that comes with it is worth all of the other stuff.”

As for parenting together, she “can’t imagine” doing this with anybody else — or with anybody who wouldn’t want to be as involved as Riley. “The division of labor can really fall to the woman in the majority of cases. I definitely could not have worked as much as I’ve worked this year if I didn’t have this partnership with my husband. But also, it just wouldn’t be as fun if we weren’t sharing all of it 50-50. We’re pretty good at seeing the funny in stressful situations. I do feel very, very lucky.”

Just three months after welcoming her son, Caplan got back to work filming Fleishman Is in Trouble. After production wrapped, she returned to set to shoot the new Fatal Attraction remake. Three days after that was finished, she hit the red carpet at the Fleishman premiere. “I’ve never done two projects back-to-back, so it’s just been kind of this insane whiplash. But as an actor, all I’ve ever kind of wanted is to be able to do different stuff, so I’m forever grateful that this

is what this year looks like.”

“Different stuff” is what Caplan’s career is all about. Ever since she started acting at 15 and landed her first role in the beloved but short-lived TV show, Freaks and Geeks, she’s had diverse roles across every genre. There are her well-known comedies, (Mean Girls, The Interview, Bachelorette), heist thrillers (Now You See Me 2) dramas (Allied) sci-fi action (Extinction) and cerebral TV (Masters of Sex). She notes that she usually gravitates towards playing “complicated” women who are “maybe not so easily compartmentalized” and got both in the roles she played this year. “These two characters, these two shows, they just couldn’t be more different. It’s like absolute polar opposites, which was a wonderful challenge as an actor. It’s kind of a dream challenge for me.”

Caplan is happy Fleishman Is in Trouble is faithful to the book, written by Taffy BrodesserAkner, and viewers are clearly just as delighted, including critics who are praising the show — and her performance. They may be just as thrilled when they see the remake of the 1987 hit Fatal Attraction.

Caplan shares that this new Paramount+ version, in which she plays Alex Forrest (originally portrayed by Glenn Close), delves deeper into the character’s psyche to know her as a “more threedimensional human being.”

The ‘80s version also starred Michael Douglas as Dan Gallagher, a married man who has an affair with Alex. “The [original] movie still is great. It’s still scary, and makes you ask big questions, but there were two different endings and there was one ending that Glenn Close preferred, but they ended up going for another one,” Caplan notes. “Glenn Close was sort of fighting to protect her character Alex’s fragile mental illness that she was dealing with. None of that was really reflected in the film. Audiences saw it very much through a 1980s perspective — this amazing guy makes one mistake and now this horrible woman is trying to ruin his life.”

Caplan says she finds it hard not to ask herself what Alex Forrest went through in the original film “especially because Glenn Close is doing such subtle, careful work that if you’re looking for it, it’s all there.”

The actress adds, “It really shows how far we have come. I don’t think that we’ve arrived at any finish line in terms of everything that’s happened with #MeToo and what that set in motion. But the idea that you could never make the 1980s version of this now, shows some degree of progress. I think when they’re at their best, that’s what the reboot would do and hopefully our show does that.”

When the term “reboot” comes up, inevitably, many fans of Caplan’s remember her instantly-

iconic role as Janis Ian in 2004 hit, Mean Girls. Her co-star, Lindsay Lohan, recently expressed interest in a revival, to which Caplan immediately responds: “I am so on board with this return of Lindsay Lohan. I’m just pumped. She was such an incredible talent when she was working as a kid and a young adult so I’m happy to see that she’s coming back.”

Caplan doesn’t know what the story would exactly entail for a Mean Girls reboot, but if Tina Fey wrote some incredible script? “Of course I would want to be a part of it; I would be an idiot not to join,” she says, adding, “But to me it feels like Mean Girls had a really good beginning, middle and end. I don’t know what’s left of the story.”

After such a whirlwind year filled with work commitments, Caplan now looks forward to spending some down time with her most favorite project yet — taking care of her young son. “I have no hobbies; my hobby is him,” she says, joking she has “no time for anything.”

But Caplan wouldn’t trade that for the world. “Motherhood’s good stuff,” she says. “Highly recommend. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”

As soon as Christian Angermayer, one of Europe’s most successful entrepreneurs and investors, signs onto our Zoom call on a Saturday morning, he’s upbeat and excited to dive into various topics he’s passionate about, one of them being his quest for longevity and happiness.

The self-made billionaire founder of Apeiron Investment Group, a global investment firm focused on tech and biotech investments, grew up in a 90-person village in Germany and has stayed busy from a young age. At 14, he had his first entrepreneurial idea in the form of a tutoring company. Today, Apeiron owns stakes in more than 100 companies globally including well-known brands like CBD beverage TRIP, hotel group Aethos and home fitness device company FORME LIFE. But his main passion is biotech. With more than $3 billion under management through his Apeiron Investment Group, the entrepreneur created biotech companies ATAI Life Sciences, Cambrian BioPharma and Rejuveron Life Sciences, building on his belief that everyone wants to live healthier, happier and longer lives.

“I’ve always believed aging in itself is a disease, so why not find a cure for it?” Angermayer, 44, exclusively tells GRAZIA USA. “With Cambrian and Rejuveron, we are working hard to discover therapeutics to mitigate the aging process. I am very confident we soon will be able to slow down and even reverse aging and push life expectancy up significantly.”

Though the products won’t be on the market for some time — anywhere from five to 15 years — Angermayer is hopeful that 20 years from now, “we’re going to have the potential to live some hundred years. I don’t think we will want to live forever though. I envisage a future in which people will decide themselves when they want to die. This for me is the ultimate freedom.”

“While there are no therapeutics on the market

yet which would make us live some hundred years, there is a lot you can do already today to increase the probability that you are still around when our drugs will come to market over the next 20 years,” says Angermayer, who takes about 40 supplements a day.

But supplements are actually not his main secret: “The big five are sleep, no drugs, diet, exercise and a fulfilled social life. I get a lot of sleep, and I don’t schedule meetings in the morning, so that I can wake up naturally and not with an alarm clock. I don’t take any drugs, and especially I’ve never drank alcohol. I eat well and follow a Mediterranean diet, so lots of fish and vegetables, no meat, and I exercise at least four times a week. Lastly and most importantly, you need to have good relationships with your family and friends. A healthy social life seems to have the biggest influence on your health and life expectancy.”

Over the years, Angermayer had many realizations, with one being that longevity and mental health go hand in hand. “The desire to be happy and healthy is one of the few dreams we all share. Or you could say that the total addressable market is 100% of the world’s population.”

In this day and age, most health care systems are overburdened and unable to deal with the rise in mental health issues — more than 280 million people worldwide suffer from depression while more than 264 million suffer from anxiety — but once Angermayer was introduced to the idea of taking psychedelics, things changed.

“In 2013, I was at a friend’s dinner party seated next to a very famous German neuroscientist,” he recalls. “I told him I have never smoked, never drank alcohol. We spent the whole evening talking about the brain, and he spoke to me about a study by Professor David Nutt from Imperial

College London, which evaluated legal and illegal drugs and what harm they might cause on one’s body. The study concluded that the most dangerous drug is alcohol, but the least risky was magic mushrooms. At the same time, my seat neighbor pointed out that magic mushrooms have the potential to cure many mental health issues, and in fact, had been an approved medical drug in the last century in some countries.”

“I said, ‘Look, I’m happy, I don’t have mental health issues, I don’t need anything, and for sure I won’t take an illegal drug..’ However, the conversation made me interested, because I’m a naturally curious person, and I started researching the medical potential of magic mushrooms. One year later, I was with my best friends Julian Morris and Landon Ross in the Caribbean. They had magic mushrooms and they asked me if I wanted to try them. I had read so much about them, so

Above: The entrepreneur loves to travel, which is one of the many reasons he built his own boutique brand Aethos Hotels, which focuses on well-being, authenticity and understated luxury. Aethos Ericeira, found in Encarnação Portugal, is one of their flagship properties. Also, travelling and getting in touch with new people, new impressions and new ideas is one recipe for happiness he is sharing in the interview.

Left: Angermayer owns an extensive art collection that includes ancient artifacts highlighting the role psychedelics played in human history.

I said, ‘Yes, I am going to do it.’ It was hands down the single most meaningful, important, positive experience of my whole life. Nothing comes close to it.”

From there, Angermayer knew he was onto something.

“I thought, ‘If it’s making me as a happy person this more positive and happier, I can totally see how it might cure mental health issues,’” he shares.

He subsequently started two biotech companies — ATAI and Compass, which are both listed on Nasdaq stock exchange in the meantime - to further develop the active compound in magic mushrooms, which is called psilocybin, and several other psychedelics. However, Angermayer doesn’t want these substances to become legal as a consumer product. Instead, he is redeveloping these substances as FDA-approved, medical therapeutics: in order for people to use them, they will have to be under their therapist’s supervision.

“If you look back at human history, humans have used psychedelics for healing purposes throughout all times and cultures, but they were always regulated,” he notes.

“You had to go to a shaman or priest. The priests and shamans of our time are psychotherapists. You should only take these substances with them in a controlled environment and in the right setting. As I had my friends Julian and Landon as my guides for my first experience.”

Today, magic mushrooms and other psychedelics are

legal in some parts of South America. If Angermayer succeeds, they will be available under a doctor’s supervision in the U.S. and Europe within some years.

While his focus is on making these substances available for people with mental health issues, it might well be that down the road everybody might want to take a trip: “One of the big flaws of the Western healthcare system is that we are mostly focused on curing issues once they arise. It would be much more efficient to focus more on not getting sick in the first place. Hence, it could well be that people will seek out psychedelic-assisted therapy in challenging moments in their life before they actually slide into a mental health issue”.

Asked what a trip is like, he explains: “The experience

you have under psychedelics is not always a fun one and can be challenging at times. It is very hard to describe, but simplified said it is a deep, spiritual experience, and often people face and overcome their fears, inner demons and trauma, which we all have. You learn a lot about yourself, you heal, and you grow as a human being.”

“But the hardest part is to take these learnings and change your life,” he adds. “The trip is just the realization, but it’s at least equally important that you take the learnings from the trip and incorporate those into your life. That can be tough, and this is one reason why it is so important to have the experience with a trained therapist together, who helps with integration work after.”

In fact, Angermayer is sure his learnings from his psychedelic journeys are part of why he’s so successful. “I feel psilocybin helped me improve as a human being. It also made me more creative, open and innovative. It made me a better entrepreneur and investor,” he states.

For Angermayer, longevity, mental health and psychedelics all go together: “Once we’re happy and healthy, we want to live for as long as we please. Psychedelics are the most important tool we have to stay mentally healthy and to cure — or at least improve — mental health issues. If we don’t start now, the mental health crisis will only get worse. It’s already the number one disease out there and the numbers will just grow, as the modern world around us seems to be toxic for our mental health, so we need to solve the problem.”

Before signing off our hour and a half call, I simply ask: “Would you say you’re happy?”

Angermayer replies, “Yes, I think I’m very happy.”

Angermayer is among one of Forme Life’s investors. The “smart gym” can be used for strength training, barre and other exercise programs. Daily exercise also is one of the recommendations Angermayer shares when discussing how to slow down aging.

Upon hip hop’s golden jubilee — the music style was born in a Bronx rec room in 1973 — the Museum at FIT, on Manhattan’s 7thAvenue, salutes the alwaysenvelope-pushing sartorial genre it inspired with the exhibit Fresh, Fly, and Fabulous: Fifty Years of Hip Hop Style, which runs February 8 to April 23. The exhibition examines the evolution of the hip hop subculture’s influence on the fashion industry via the largest and most comprehensive retrospective ever to capture the innovative style, and marks FIT’s firstever show focused on fashion through the lens of a singular musical genre. The show even boasts an accompanying Rizzoli tome that includes a foreword from ‘80s rap legend Slick Rick, and an open-tothe-public symposium that takes place February 24.

The sweeping display by the only museum in New York City entirely dedicated to the art of fashion comes courtesy of co-curators Elizabeth Way and Elena Romero. (Way is the associate curator of the museum, and Romero has covered hip hop as a fashion journalist since the 1990s and acts as an assistant professor of Marketing Communications at FIT.)

To celebrate the now-iconic looks of five decades of hip hop, these esteemed curators started at the beginning, at that legendary 1973

Bronx party. “Kool Herc threw a ‘back-to-school jam’ with his sister Cindy on Sedgwick Avenue,” Way tells GRAZIA USA. “That’s where we start to see the DJs mixing the music and the MCs rapping over it. This is popularly recognized as the birth of hip hop.”

Spearheaded by the Black and Brown youth of the era, hip hop took off, bringing with it a new style that swiftly spread from the Big Apple to the West Coast, and eventually to mainstream media. Once dubbed the “urban” uniform, the look heavily concentrated on customization with an emphasis on popular luxury brands. Everything from DIY creations and custom Dapper Dan jackets to Kangol hats, Timberland boots and even Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren designs were chosen by the most revered rappers and their loyal fans.

“For us to talk about the relationship that fashion has with those that have helped create hip hop culture, we have to talk about socioeconomic status and access of brands,” Romero says. “Luxury brands were not brands that were accessible to Black and Brown communities.”

While the reliance of DIY creations was born out of the lack of accessibility to coveted, high fashion labels, aspiration played a huge role in the style as well, sparking an interest in logos and brand insignias. Loyalty to brand names quickly became tethered to iconic rap hooks, from Run-D.M.C’s “My Adidas” in 1986, to Cardi B’s 2018 ode to Christian Louboutin with “Bodak Yellow.”

“It was so much about do-it-yourself,” says Way of the early years. “The subculture was young kids who were not the most socially economically elite, so there was this raw creativity and a lot of personalization — iron-on letters, nameplate necklaces, fat lace sneakers, crease jeans.”

In more recent years, it has become commonplace to see hip hop personas sit front row at big-name fashion shows (Gucci and Christian Siriano, to name a few) and create influential partnerships with luxury designers, a far cry from hip hip’s humble beginnings, when “those doors were closed,” Romero says. “The artists were initially dressing themselves. When we think about the idea of luxury in our Black and Brown communities [in the ‘80s and early ‘90s], custom tailors such as Dapper Dan immediately come to mind. He brought trademarks and logos that had this status symbol to the communities to give them access.”

Daniel “Dapper Dan” Day was a bona fide streetwear pioneer, who rose to fame after opening his iconic boutique on 125th street in Harlem in 1982. Dressing hip hop’s shining stars, the couturier gained a reputation for remixing highend monogrammed materials from MCM, Fendi, Louis Vuitton and Gucci into his own one-ofa-kind sportswear confections. Eventually, his appropriation of the fashion house’s fabrications and logos led to litigation. His beloved storefront was shuttered in 1992, but not before he earned

He went on to sign countless luxury partnerships, most notably with Gucci in 2017. “He was really important in creating a dialogue between American fashion and European luxury brands,” says Way. Footage of the Harlem designer is included in the FIT exhibition, of which Romero says, “What Dapper Dan did in fashion is what young people were doing in music.”

Conversely, brands marketed to a “waspy” all-American audience found themselves in favor of the hip hop aesthetic as well. “Ralph Lauren was a Jewish kid from the Bronx, and he had this American dream that he built through his brand, which really spoke to the aspirational aspect that resonated with people who embraced hip hop,” Way says. “Hip hop kids styled it in a different way, wore it in a different way, and made it their own. But they were looking at what was happening in mainstream fashion.”

These days, you can’t think of Tommy Hilfiger without picturing Aaliyah in the 1997 Tommy Jeans campaign. The same can be said for Ralph Lauren and the Lo Lifes, who “really brought the popularity of Ralph Lauren to the urban center,” Romero says. The Brooklyn-based crew of young people formed in 1988, emulating the affluent lifestyle while implementing their own hip hop twist. The collective quickly garnered a reputation for boosting apparel, especially from Polo Ralph Lauren.

SNUGGLE UP IN LUXURY AT THESE RELAXING RETREATS

DUTTON HOT SPRINGS , Colorado

Nestled 8,600 feet on the West Fork of the Dolores River in the San Juan Mountains, the exquisitely restored 19th century ghost town Dunton Hot Springs seamlessly melds luxury with Wild West rusticity and authenticity. Original hand-hewn log cabins that once housed miners now serve as accommodations with names like Major Ross and Forge. The resort’s main hub is a saloon where well-booted guests can mosey up to the long wooden bar on which Butch Cassidy etched his name while holed up here after robbing a bank in nearby Telluride. Skiing, soaks in the hot springs and long lazy afternoons reading by the fire in the library thankfully have taken the place of showdowns and shootouts. -AR
