PALM BEACH SCENE

The names alone tell the tale — and always have in Palm Beach. Ever since Henry Flagler, the man who saw Florida as “paradise on earth,” and built railways and hotels to let the rest of the world in on his heaven, this seaside destination has taken center stage as business moguls, movie stars, politicos and professional athletes alike lend their special élan to the Palm Beach scene they call home. Never content to do things under the radar, real estate tycoon Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate encompasses 20 pristinely manicured acres in the mega-exclusive Palm Beach enclave, while singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett prefers a more laid-back approach with a small, Bahamian Key West-style home on the island that he intends to make his pied-à-terre when he’s in town.
DONALD TRUMP Famed real estate mogul, 64, with a net worth of $2.4 billion sits at No. 153 on the 2010 Forbes 400 list. From his ventures in real estate, hotels and casinos to NBC’s hit show The Apprentice, Trump just may be the most well-known Palm Beacher.

Arriving at Budapest’s Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace at dusk is one of the more memorable moments of a lifetime spent traveling. And as my taxi rounds the corner to Roosevelt Square, the golden lights on the historic Chain Bridge, which separates the two sections of Hungary’s capital, Buda and Pest, sparkle on the Danube River and I first set eyes on one of the world’s finest Art Nouveau structures — Gresham Palace. The hotel’s evolution is a long and fabled tale, tracing a course from life insurance company and upscale residence in the dawn of the 20th century, to its modern transformation into a luxury hotel. In 1903, London’s Gresham Life Assurance Company hired leading Hungarian architect Zsigmond Quittner to design a building that would house their foreign headquarters and serve as a residence for visiting British aristocracy. Quittner, who was influenced by the Art Nouveau and Secessionist movements of vibrant colors and fluid lines, chose some of the era’s finest artists and craftsmen to work on the project, including Hungarian porcelain manufacturer Zsolnay Ceramics Factory, glass painter and mosaic maker Miksa Roth, and Gyula Jungfer, who fashioned the large, wrought iron peacock gates that protect the hotel’s three entrances. When Gresco Investments acquired the property in 1998, they received approval from the Budapest Heritage Board to reconstruct the Gresham into a luxury hotel while retaining its authentic origin. Gresco then called upon Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts to

oversee the reconstruction and manage the property. And the Four Seasons did exactly what Gresham had done a century before — hiring some of the best wrought iron specialists, glass makers and mosaicists of the 21st century to rebuild the Palace based on how it was initially constructed, such as Zsolnay Ceramics Factory, who replaced the glass roof to mimic the original. And after a multi-year, $110 million restoration, the doors reopened in 2004. In the hotel’s elegantly styled guest rooms, 179 total including 17 suites, romantic charm blends with high-tech ease. Many feature vaulted ceilings and step-out balconies with views of the river, and all provide Art Deco furnishings, large marble baths and highspeed Internet. For dining, the hotel features a gourmet restaurant and bar, the Gresham Kávéhaz Café. The bar opens onto a lounge that flows into the Peacock Passage, crowned by a glass-domed cupola. The hotel also offers a spa, fitness center and an indoor pool. One of the oldest capitals in central Europe, Budapest is now pulsing with renewed vitality. Located in the heart of the city’s business, art and entertainment district, the Four Seasons is within easy walking distance of St. Stephen’s Basilica, the Parliament, Market Hall and the Opera House. The Gresham Palace is one of the city’s most important architectural heirlooms, and I couldn’t of asked for a better place to stay. For reservations, call 800/545-4000. i

“It took thousands of hours for a unique team of highly trained masters to cut this magnificent
Art Nouveau gem into a brilliant jewel,” award-winning restoration artist Miklos Szentkiralyi says. “The Gresham Palace has been born again in wonderful unity, serving as a crown jewel of outstanding beauty.” LEFT:

A constant roar, British racing phenom Derek Bell shows no signs of slowing down. After winning so many sports car races over his nearly 50-year career that even Bell himself has lost count — though five Le Mans 24 Hours, three Daytona 24 Hours and two World Drivers’ Championships come to mind — is

retirement eminent? “Not at all, racing is my life.” Bell says. “My philosophy: it’s not over till you see the checkered flag.” Still avidly involved in motorsports as a consultant for the exclusive Palm Beach Driving Club, Bell is a partner in Bentley Naples and performs an ambassadorial role for Bentley Motors worldwide … not to mention his leisurely 140-mph laps around the Palm Beach International Raceway on any given day. “It’s lovely to have a track practically on my doorstep,” he says. An English gentleman, a famed racing driver and a fiercely popular figure in Europe and the U.S., Bell splits his time between his 17th-century house near the family farm on the Sussex coast and his waterfront home in Boca Raton, Fla., that he shares with his wife, Misti, and their 11-year-old son. With a reputation of one of the most liked drivers of his generation, he is known for ‘getting the car home when other drivers can’t.’ But it wasn’t only his speed that brought the car home; it was his natural ability to work with people under
Harrods-sponsored McLaren F1 GTR, 1995
pressure — and his ardent persona. “It’s the passion that gets you there; and it’s the passion that carries you through,” he says. “I would race every weekend if I could. And I would love to win Le Mans again … the three greatest races in the world are the Indy 500, Monaco Grand Prix and Le Mans 24 Hours.” Early on in his career, Bell caught the eye of Enzo Ferrari and made his Grand Prix debut — in a Ferrari at Monza, Italy.
ABOVE:
“Father’s Day 1995, racing Le Mans with my older son, Justin,
was the most memorable moment in my career,” Derek Bell says. “I was asked to race Le Mans at the last minute ... just three weeks before the event. I thought ‘Oh blimey, I’m not in shape.’” Yet, true to form and with little to no prep time, Bell joined teammates Andy Wallace and Justin driving a McLaren GTR, the Harrods-sponsored car, in a very physical race for 24 hours — holding the lead for 16 hours before succumbing to mechanical malfunctions and finishing a remarkable third.
In its only outing, Bell drives the 4WD F1 McLaren at the British Grand Prix, 1969.

“There are very few that have raced for Ferrari,” he says. In fact, Bell’s first race in a Ferrari 512 at Le Mans 1970 launched his uber-successful career — a race Bell relived whilst driving a Ferrari 512 in the filming of Le Mans starring Steve McQueen later that same year. “I am very honored to be part of their dynasty.” Bell’s finest accolade: presented an MBE by the Queen of England for his services to sport. Winning his first Le Mans in 1975, Bell went on to win two World Sportscar Championship titles in 1985-86; the 24 Hours of Daytona three times in 1986-87 and 1989; and he brought in four more wins at Le Mans in 1981, 1982, 1986 and 1987, mostly teamed with Jacky Ickx in one of the Porsche models. Then Bell found himself in the driver’s seat once again, this time commentating from the race car for Speedvision, not to mention his role announcing F1 Grand Prix for ESPN and FOX Sports Net. Enter Ken Fengler, vice president and general manager of the Palm Beach Driving Club. “Ken basically brought me to Florida in the ’80s,” Bell says. “We met at an awards ceremony and the next day at the track we developed the concept of ‘Porsche Precision Driving School with Derek Bell.’” Fast-forward 25 years, the two longtime friends are a driving force at the

For the third time since its inception, this event transformed the museum into a setting reminiscent of the Casino de Monte Carlo in the era of The Great Gatsby. Guests bet their chips at over 25 gaming tables, from blackjack to craps, before turning them in at the end of the night for amazing prizes. 1 Kristina and Brad McPherson

STARTING A REVOLUTION Bentley Motors redefines an innovative brand staple, introducing an even higher standard of design, engineering and refinement with the new-for-2011 Continental GT. TEXT BY STEVE SILER PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF BENTLEY MOTORS, LTD., CREWE, ENGLAND
E
Eight decades have passed since Bentley Motors lost its autonomy — and in turn, its sporting character — to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars upon the onset of the Great Depression. From then until 1998, when Volkswagen AG brought the brand into its corporate fold (alongside Lamborghini, Bugatti and Audi, to name a few), most every Bentley was little more than a Rolls-Royce with a radius-edged grille. But in 2003, Bentley set about regaining what one fabled Brit named Austin Powers might call its “mojo” with the 12-cylinder Continental GT coupe. Low-slung and extremely swift, the Continental GT was unlike anything Rolls-Royce had ever made. The Continental GT was Bentley’s rebellion. Alas, successful rebellions are for naught if authority does not follow. And authority is precisely what the new-for-2011 Continental GT conveys. The windswept design of the original has evolved beautifully and powerfully with all-new body panels, enormous wheels and exquisitely re-imagined details. The headlamps, for example, are saucer-sized, inboardmounted circles, with smaller, high-set outboard ancillary lights, an arrangement meant to evoke Bentley’s new Mulsanne flagship. Muscular creases in the fenders create an impression of speed, while further back, widened, oval-themed taillamps are set within the complex curvature of the fenders — a difficult-to-produce yet elegant design solution. Opening the door and sliding into the supremely comfortable “Cobra” seats, one comes face-to-face with an artfully arranged dashboard design. The mood of the Continental’s interior can vary widely from relaxed opulence to searing intensity depending on the customer’s

desired application of wood and/or aluminum paneling, stitchery and leathers (the latter able to be color-matched to virtually anything). Complaints about the previous Connie’s component-sharing with the spectacularly luxurious but label-challenged Volkswagen Phaeton have been addressed in the form of new secondary controls, including a large, high-resolution, touch-screen navigation/audio/climate control system blessed with more capability, bespoke graphics and, best of all, the interactive elegance and innovative technology befitting of a Bentley. Of course, the new Continental GT remains eminently fast and, thanks to its lower, wider stance, is even more responsive than its nimble predecessor. An aggressive diet plan removed 140 pounds from the Continental’s overall weight, while under the broad bonnet resides a revised twin-turbocharged 12-cylinder engine that is both more powerful and efficient than last year’s mill. Upcoming is a V-8 option ABOVE:
The 6-litre, 12-cylinder, twin-turbo-charged engine has a raised output of
567 horsepower, which allows the car to go from zero to 60 in 4.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 198 mph. A new Quickshift transmission enables double downshifts, while advanced FlexFuel technology allows for the use of either standard unleaded gasoline or sustainable bioethanol.

It’s been more than 30 years since 12-year-old Jim Alterman was first inspired by the appeal of objets d’art … antiques, paintings, sculpture and jewelry alike. “I would ride around on my bike and rummage through what others would throw away,” Alterman says. “I frequented garage sales, flea markets and auctions on the weekends with my mom. We opened our first store when I was 14.” And the creative wheels of this seasoned entrepreneur — owner of Ashley John Gallery in Palm Beach — have not stopped turning since. Whether from his main gallery, Jim’s of Lambertville that

works of art. “Walls were made to be filled with art,” he says. “Paintings and sculpture speak to an international community like Palm Beach filled with both art lovers and grandiose homes.” And among Alterman’s recent accomplishments: author, designer and publisher of New Hope For American Art — a comprehensive tome heavily weighted with illustrations of works by painters from an art colony formed in the early 1900s in the picturesque river town of New Hope, Penn. A longtime collector and expert in the field of Pennsylvania Impressionist and Modernist painting, the author uses the power of the palette to tell the story of artists who painted in and around the New Hope Art Colony from 1900 to 1960, many of whom

“True art collectors don’t stop enjoying and appreciating art during slow economic times,” gallery owner Jim Alterman says. “They collect art because they love it.”
Now, at a time when most people are being much more conservative in their spending — especially on non-essential items — Alterman is not concerned about opening his gallery, having used the last two years as an opportunity to capitalize on buying great art for bargain prices. “True art collectors don’t stop enjoying and appreciating art during slow economic times,” he says. “They collect art because they love it.” Alterman modeled the Ashley John Gallery (named for his 5-year-old twins, Ashley and John) after his flagship gallery in Lambertville. “I believe in covering the walls with great art and that’s exactly what I’ve done,” he says. “There are more than 200 paintings on display, mostly 20th-century American. We have a great variety of Impressionist, Contemporary and Modern works ranging from 1900 to the present.” For more information, call the gallery at 561/429-8454. i

England. For over eight years, Kate has been the mostly on-again girlfriend of Britain’s Prince William.

Now, finally, as the British public exhales with relief, on April 29th, in Westminster Abbey, this daughter of upwardly mobile on-line party suppliers will marry the Prince, and step into a world where a curtsey’s depth is measured and a camera is never far away.
It seems like yesterday. The 20-year-old
wedding at St. Paul’s Cathedral on July 29, 1981, in London, England. The marriage, however, was far from fairyland, ending in divorce 15 years later. Photo by Anwar Hussein/WireImage.
One only hopes that the romantic providence of the last two Princes of Wales will turn with William. Both his father and his father’s great-uncle, Edward, had marriages that were nothing if not riveting ... and the press kept track of it all. On the eve of World War II, the former Prince of Wales, then Edward VIII, was the first British monarch to abdicate the throne. He was smitten by a twice-divorced American with a strong will and a magnetism the King could not resist. Unacceptable as a royal consort, on December 10, 1936, Edward, age 42, gave up the monarchy to become the Duke of Windsor and Wallace Simpson, his Duchess. While the marriage lasted 35 years, the pair seemed to wander the globe, following the social seasons from Paris to their particular favorite, Palm Beach. But the bittersweet fragrance of the exile seemed to follow them. The next Prince of Wales, Charles, current heir to the throne, was also late to marry — but not so late to divorce. Having been encouraged by his uncle, former Indian Viceroy, Louis Mountbatten, to sow his wild oats and avoid entanglements, Charles let Camilla, the woman he loved, go on to marry another man. Unfortunately, in choosing Diana Spencer, young and lovely, but whom he, in fact, did not love, the stage was set for failure.

LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD. FOR THE ROYAL WATCHERS AMONG US, THE EXCITEMENT OF A FAIRY-TALE ROMANCE ENDURES.
Now, nearly 30 years after Charles proposed to Lady Diana Spencer, their son, at 28, is taking the marital plunge. But despite the spectacular 18-carat sapphire and diamond ring the two women will have shared, Diana and Kate have some striking differences. While Diana, who never attended college, described herself as “thick as a plank,” Kate Middleton has a degree from the University of St Andrews in History of Art. Diana was just out of her teens when she married Charles, 13 years her senior, and had only addressed him as “sir” before their engagement. Kate is six months younger than William and as college classmates had roomed with him and a group of friends before recently moving with him to a private cottage on the Isle of Anglesey. Moreover, the royal family has had time to get to know Kate, and presumably some of the courtiers who made Diana’s life a trial have loosened up and accepted that flexibility in royal behaviors won’t bring down the kingdom. Yet beyond a knack for stylish couture, looking great on the slopes, and a willingness to walk a few paces behind their husbands, Diana and Kate share the most important thing: the love and admiration of Prince William. Choosing a remote log cabin on the high slopes of Mount Kenya, William had backpacked in his mother’s ring, carrying it about for the 15 days before he popped the question. According to Prince Harry, William’s brother, it was his idea to seal the offer with Diana’s ring. At her death, William had gotten a watch and Harry, the ring. Harry thought William could use it before he would. With this marriage soon to be a fait accompli, will the royal yentas now focus their sights on Prince Harry? Undoubtedly. And given the ruggishly handsome, red-haired pilot, third in line to the throne, with some of the party-loving spirit of his Great-Aunt Margaret and Uncle Andrew, the busy playing field this time should be fun to watch. i ABOVE:

On the runway, the Tory Burch Spring 2011 collection met minimalism with splashes of red, orange and yellow, while plenty of white and light neutrals set the trend. Meeting the onset of spring with sunkissed tones to capture a mood for softness in layered styles, fashion designer Tory Burch creates clothing with a modern flair and a bohemian sensibility that she would wear herself. “I think most women want to look chic and fashionable without having to spend a lot of time putting together an outfit,” says the designer, who has nine international and more than 30 American namesake boutiques, including her store in the surreal shopping destination, 150 Worth in the heart of Palm Beach. “I am drawn to the effortless and timeless style epitomized by the women of Palm Beach, especially when it comes to resort dressing,” Burch says. “I think the Palm Beach woman responds to our use of bold colors, graphic prints and easy pieces that go with an active lifestyle.” i

Uniting with the Norton Museum of Art on opening night, the Vernissage preview party is a highlight of Palm Beach social season. The organizers pick up the tab for many of the museum's top supporters to be among those admitted to the first hour of the fair. "We were very happy," Norton’s new director Hope Alswang says.

With a primary residence on Philadelphia’s Main Line, where homes proclaim tradition, elegance and turreted Edwardian pomp, one Pennsylvania couple was looking for a change with a cheerful yet glamorous design for their new Palm Beach vacation home — one filled with whimsical color, swirling patterns, petal-draped poolside umbrellas and plenty of light. After vacationing in the Palm Beach area for 15 years, the couple decided that it was finally time for a little place of their own — a 6,000-square-foot, Spanish Revival-style getaway located between both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. “I’ve always loved Palm Beach. It’s, for me, one of the most beautiful places in the world,” the wife says. “And I wanted this house to be a happy place filled with light and fun.” And Philadelphia-based designers Eric Rymshaw and Joshua Thibault understood exactly what the owners were after. Having done major work on the couple’s Main Line manor house, the team respected the owners’ quest for quality. “It was a wonderful collaboration all the way through,” Rymshaw says. But turning a house with good bones into a comfortable family retreat would take some doing, and revising spatial definitions were just a part of it. “We recast the dining room as a media/sitting room,” Thibault says. “And turned the family room adjacent to the kitchen into a casual dining room.” And the dazzling garden and pool area provided the anchor for the designer’s adjustments. “It’s all about the sun,” Rymshaw says. “Every room involves the play of light.” Rymshaw, who always devises a “narrative” for himself about a house and the wishes of its owner, in this case, thought of dramatic and rather glamorous living with a wow factor. “Think Halston meets 1940s Hollywood meets Pop,” he says of the result that is anything but dated.

From the entrance, the view is past the vaulted, midnight-blue ceilings of the colonnade, into the living room and out to the shimmering pool area beyond. Softening the Old World style of the home’s cast-coral pillars and fireplace, the living room is alight with textures and geometric shapes. Whimsical chairs in a circle motif appear made of lattice, while smaller spheres dance in the sheer drapery fabric. Chevron patterns of blue and gold on the accent pillows introduce the home’s signature color palette, which is also seen in a pair of vibrant prints by Rana Rochat that hang on the fireplace wall. Martha Sturdy’s custom-designed, cast-resin cocktail table glows in a goldenrod hue and provides the base for a bronze sculpture by Sica, one of the wife’s favorite artists. A pair of delicate occasional tables made up of bronze and onyx-colored lacquer reflects ABOVE:

Gio Ponti consoles delicately flank the fireplace. The whole room is anchored with a hand-woven abaca area rug that sits over the limestone flooring. Color continues into the dining room with Polly Apfelbaum’s bright monumental woodblock monoprint set against striped wall covering, recalling a vintage period of glamour and whimsy. A capiz shell and bronze chandelier illuminates the space, where hints of black and white hues dart around the room in a zebra-print barstool, barreled dining chairs, and a walnut and parchment buffet. Steps away, the media/sitting room seems an extension of the nearby living room with coordinating sofas and area rugs. Here, though, the sofa is paired with brown and cream chenille lounge chairs in an abstract print and a leather-covered ottoman with Moroccan-inspired nailhead detailing. Light filters in through sheer drapery fabric to cast a soft, warm glow throughout the space. Outside, the feel of 1920s grandeur allows the owners to relax in style with resort-like chaises and playful umbrellas. “The final touches to this home were the most fun,” says Rymshaw, who feels that the lightly fluttering petals of the umbrellas and the bright bursts of color make the poolside sing. “It’s all about creating magic,” he says, “pop and opulence combined.”

Celebrated works in ceramics, glass, couture art-to-wear, jewelry, furniture, and wood-turned and carved objects are presented by over 115 artists at the 8th Annual Palm Beach Fine Craft Show hosted in West Palm Beach, Fla., at the Palm Beach County Convention Center from March 4-6, 2011. Poising objects as conceptual forms for sculptural visions — some purely decorative and some functional — these fine pieces strike a balance between art and craftsmanship that capture the imagination.

DIAMONDS: A COMPELLING INVESTMENT FOR UNCERTAIN TIMES? Enchanting treasures that have fascinated mankind throughout the centuries, diamonds are a symbol of love, power and unparalleled beauty that can also offer peace of mind in turbulent financial times.
Diamonds mitigate your systematic risk exposure The motives for buying diamonds did not include a financial incentive until the 1970s, when on August 15th, 1971, the world’s economies abandoned the gold standard. Since then, credit creation has spiked significantly, and the U.S. Government’s budget deficits have swelled to unprecedented highs with a corresponding historic rise in the federal debt. What is certain is that the level of uncertainty has risen dramatically and, with it, the value of predictive models has waned, and the proliferation of hedging methods, such as swaps, options, futures and forward contracts to hedge against this uncertainty, still do nothing to mitigate against systematic risk. Throughout the centuries, royalty and the ultra-wealthy alike have chosen to own diamonds as these gems have provided them, amongst many other pleasures, durable financial security in the form of a private, tangible, personal, easily portable and international currency of last resort; because you never know. Diamonds provide a portfolio hedge By blending the emotional aspect of a diamond purchase along with the rational elements of investing money in the most concentrated store of value that exists (a high-quality diamond weighing just 2 or 3 grams can be worth as much as 100 kilos of gold), diamonds offer a compelling alternative investment and portfolio hedge for the long-term investor, as historic data has shown that diamond prices are virtually uncorrelated with real estate prices and the stock market indices (S&P, DJ), and that they are negatively correlated with long-term bond yields (46 percent) and short-term interest rates (36 percent). Thus, long-term investors with significant equity, real estate and bond exposure will add a strong hedge with diamonds and reduce their overall investment risk profile, all the while enjoying the beauty and artistic expression of the gems they own. Supply/demand context favors higher prices ABOVE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:

growth expected to remain in the low single-digit figures, the supply/demand context favoring higher prices does not look set to change in the intermediate future. De Beers Managing Director Gareth Penny was noted saying: “the reality is that supply cannot keep up, and that will become very accentuated over the next 15 years.” At the upper end of the market, prices for important and rare diamonds are at historical highs with numerous world-record prices being broken on the global auction marketplace throughout the year. At a recent Christie’s jewelry sale in Hong Kong, 89 percent of the lots on offer were sold generating $60.4 million in sales. Seven diamond items sold for more than $1 million each, including a pair of fancy deep blue heart-shaped diamonds; large, white pear-shaped diamond earrings; a brilliant 13.67-carat, E color internally flawless diamond, which sold for $1.74 million; and a rare pink diamond, which sold for a record $10.8 million. Advantages of owning diamonds Consider the facts of owning diamonds: they are tangible (and have no real estate taxes associated with them, although there are insurance costs); they are durable (no tool can cut them and even the fiercest fire will leave them unscathed); they are portable (a portfolio worth millions of dollars fits nicely inside an envelope that can easily be transported in your coat pocket quietly and legally); they are international tender (and can be sold globally in most major cities and converted into any major currency, thus acting as a U.S. dollar hedge); they are private and free of government control (as a non-reporting asset, records of diamond ownership are for the most part private and there is no public record available in cases of civil action, divorce, lawsuits, etc); they are inherently rare (similar to oil, there are vested interests that will protect this); they have independent value from financial markets (they are non-correlated); and so can diversify your portfolio, protect it from hyperinflation and international financial crisis, and lastly, they provide you with an emergency disaster fund available on your lady’s finger. Now that’s an investment! i ABOVE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:

Controlling these risk factors may prevent or slow its development. Keeping up with regular cardiovascular exercise is key and is within our control. Your heart is a muscle and you must

range. Here are tips to follow when it comes to keeping up with cardiovascular exercise:
and it deserves the best care.
Plan to sweat daily. If you make exercise part of your daily schedule, you will do it. If you try to fit it in when you can, you won’t. Find a physical activity that you enjoy doing, weights and running are not for everybody. Dancing, swimming, biking and any type of sport are all good options. How important is managing stress to heart health? The role of stress in heart disease has not been clearly established, but stress might trigger an event in patients at risk. Unfortunately, we cannot control the stressors we have in our lives. We can, however, control our reaction to stressors and therefore reduce the risk of heart disease. People manage stress in many different ways. Each person is different and whatever relieves stress is different from one individual to the next. I have found that many forms of exercise, yoga or any form of relaxation are common stress relieving tactics. Just find something that works for you and make time in your schedule to do it. i

A JEWELBOX OF BOUTIQUES

Gateway to the world-famous shopping destination of Worth Avenue, 150 Worth is known to discerning shoppers as the foremost haute couture experience on Palm Beach. Just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean, this jewelbox of ultra-luxe boutiques is collected in a beautiful Mizner-influenced enclave surrounding a Mediterranen-style via that offers shade and a fountain’s splash as shoppers gaze at Gucci and Vuitton, and the latest lines from Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Here, some of the strongest fashion trends will dress the windows in spring as chic attire gets a seasonal makeover. A simple clutch may be the perfect polished accessory, while just the right stiletto style is sure to catch the eye of all the well-heeled islanders. RIGHT:
Neiman Marcus at 150 Worth plays host to evenings of fabulously
fashion-forward events throughout the Palm Beach social season.

The Italian fashion brand, founded in Florence in 1921 — known for its shoes, belts, handbags and luggage — first came to the island almost 50 years ago. “We are thrilled that Gucci has selected 150 Worth for its new Palm Beach store,” says Murray Goodman, chairman of The Goodman Company and owner of 150 Worth. “And we welcome them as our third anchor fashion store, joining Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.” And once the shopping spirit has been channeled, soothe the soul and the palate at one of the many fine dining destinations like Trevini Ristorante, where the artful approach to classic Italian cuisine makes 150 Worth a savory experience — day or night. i

In America, when we get knocked down, we don’t stay down. In the last 80 years, America has experienced 13 economic recessions. And fought back with 13 economic expansions. It was never easy, but it was always possible. If you’re bullish on America, and we are, then you’re bullish on getting up and coming back. That’s not a belief. That’s history.

High-caliber professional tennis, more than a week’s worth of parties and special events, and all at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center from Feb. 18-27, 2011. If you are into tennis, the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships is for you — and if you are not into the game, you soon will be. It’s two tournaments in one as this nine-day extravaganza will include both the 19th annual ATP World Tour and the 2nd annual ATP Champions Tour — two events held simultaneously to showcase both the best of today’s tennis professionals including Andy Roddick, Mardy Fish, John Isner and Juan Del Potro, as well as a blast from the past when former tennis greats the likes of John McEnroe, Mats Wilander, Aaron Krickstein and Pat Cash take to the courts.

Cedric Du Pont opened his first store, Cedric Du Pont Antiques, on Palm Beach’s Cocoanut Row in 1996 and another in Southampton, N.Y., a short time later. “I had one gallery in Southampton and one in Palm Beach, and I realized that often a client was at one location looking for a piece that was in the other,” he says. “So, I decided to close both and open a larger one in West Palm Beach. And, after being at the same location for 10 years, I have once again outgrown my space and am excited to bring my entire collection under one roof.” From acquiring a new piece to restoring one from his clients’ own collections, Du Pont’s years of experience, vast knowledge and team of highly skilled, European craftsmen enable him to meet the individual needs of his clientele — which include such names as Rod Stewart, Donald Trump and Céline Dion. And it is Du Pont’s excellent skill of finding just the right piece that has led to one of the most impressive collections of 18th and 19th-century antique furniture and accessories from France, Italy and throughout Europe, and has him outgrowing his current space in West Palm Beach, Fla., and opening a new, 20,000-square-foot gallery on Antique Row. From the marble and antique parquet floors, to the custom-made crown molding and stone walls, every detail of the new, two-story gallery, which is set to open January 2011, was designed from Du Pont’s own vision, and will feature a grand chateau feel that will convey the renowned antiquity dealer’s French heritage and style — enabling his beautiful and storied pieces to have the proper setting.
