STEPHEN KAMIFUJI CREATIVE DIRECTOR’S NOTE Well, sadly, another magazine goes by the wayside.

Not ours, thankfully, but another of my favorites, Departures.

Editor Jeffries Blackerby writes a touching farewell that brought back memories of reading Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter’s goodbye letter in 2018. Carter began his by saying, “All good things—certainly in my case this month— must come to an end.” Mind you, Vanity Fair is still in print; it’s just not the same without Carter’s leadership and aesthetic excellence.

Even the thought of GENLUX (now in its 16th year) closing is anathema to every creative synapse my brain might muster.

I feel so grateful and fortunate to work with so many crazy, mad, and passionate geniuses who help create works of art in every issue—this one included. I feel I have the greatest job on the planet.

One of the maddest of the alchemists is Andrew Matusik.

I used to believe photography was NOT art—that is, more precisely, it fell into the realm of documenting sculpture. A debatable point, right? But along comes Matusik’s photography that comes close to art because he doesn’t just shoot what’s in front of him and call it a day. Rather, he takes parts and pieces of many photos, and then he paints, using Photoshop, adding other dashes of realism into the work.

Need proof ? Look at the beautiful madness for yourself (p48). Those models in Pompeii were actually shot in his Park Avenue studio in New York.

On our cover, Jennifer Rovero, a first-time shooter in GENLUX, carried the day with these images of Nicky Hilton Rothschild shot at Rick and Kathy Hilton’s home in Bel Air (p96). It’s Nicky’s second time in GENLUX, tying her sister, Paris (we love Paris), who’s also been in twice. As I typed Nicky’s last name, I realized how impossibly made up and, well, pretentious it sounds. Hilton Rothschild. I mean, wow, now that’s royalty.

The last time I interviewed Nicky, she was about to tie the knot with James Rothschild. This time around, she has two preschool-age children and recently designed a shoe collection with Amanda Hearst and French Sole, the ballet flats company. Nicky continues her philanthropic path of compassion—why she’s on our cover. She’s part of the Arise Foundation to help stop human trafficking and is on the intern board of the Hilton Family Foundation that awards

22 GENLUX SPRING/SUMMER 2021

the largest humanitarian prize in the world. Last year alone, the foundation gave over $207 million around the world. I like to say Nicky Hilton’s life is so fabulous, even Instagram wouldn’t be able to fake it.

Speaking of fakes, have you caught the HBOMax show Fake Famous? It’s a clever documentary about the smoke and mirrors of Instagram influencers directed by Nick Bilton, a special correspondent at Vanity Fair. (Coincidentally, Graydon Carter is one of the executive producers). The show reveals how many of the so-called “followers” of these influencers are not even human—they’re “bots,” also known as robots.

We feature the most successful of the show’s three participants, Dominique Druckman (p60). Ironically, being on a show about creating influencers has transformed her into one.

Go figure. Who knows, maybe one day there will be a reality show where the main character will appear so intelligent and wealthy, viewers will believe it and vote him in as president. I know, right?

Model Raha Europ makes a repeat performance in this issue.

The beautiful model who appeared in our last issue photographed at the de Gournay showroom in New York is out in the fields, this time with photographer Tim Francis (p88).

Back to how we’re still printing GENLUX, I want to give special thanks to one advertiser who’s supported us since the very beginning, Sircuit Cosmeceuticals. Michael Wolfgeher is a brilliant skincare expert who creates unique formulas that work, and his marketing communications are next level.

New advertisers deserve love, too, and I want to thank Paul Marciano and GUESS for coming on board. Our eyes and ears on the ground say GUESS—that omnipotent LA brand—is in the midst of a robust revival. Bravo!

In closing, I’d like to share the last stanza from “Ode to a Grecian Urn,” from which John Keats writes: “When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’st, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.” G

Need proof that you can, indeed, fake it ’til you make it? Meet Miami Beach-born actress Dominique Druckman who stars in the HBOMax documentary Fake Famous: An Unreal Social Experiment. The film follows three Instagram newbies who, through a series of shenanigans, become social media influencers. In a paradox, due to the movie’s popularity, the 26-year-old Sagittarius is now considered a bonafide influencer.

HEART AND SOLE

Doe-eyed and dimpled beauty Nicky Hilton Rothschild lives one of those enviable fairytale lives that even Instagram can’t fake. Here, the philanthropist, shoe designer, and mother shares with our STEPHEN KAMIFUJI about her new collab with French Sole and how being an introvert during the COVID-19 lockdown had its silver lining.

SPRING/SUMMER 2021 GENLUX 97

T

he last time I’d interviewed Nicky Hilton Rothschild was six years ago, a few weeks before she wed businessman James Rothschild at a fairytale wedding in Kensington Palace. She was freakishly calm, claiming “bridezilla” wasn’t in her DNA. Fast forward six years, and a lot has changed.

Today, we caught up by phone to hear about her latest shoe collaboration—me, in Los Angeles, donning my COVID-19 pajama work outfit, and Nicky at her Bleeker Street home in New York, wearing a black Alice and Olivia tracksuit. She’s just returned from dropping her kids off at their Fifth Avenue pre-school, and James is at work, so the house is quiet. She’s sitting at her babyblue desk in her home office, enjoying a fresh bagel and a cup of coffee. In front of her is a tube of Augustinus Bader hand cream, some cut flowers, a bunch of pens, highlighters, and a composition notebook, “Because,” she says, “I’m old school and believe in writing things down.”

The family pad, steeped in British-influenced design, is all James. “My husband has a great eye,” Nicky claims. “He’s secretly into interior design, so I let him take the lead. He really, really enjoys it, so it’s a win-win.”

Against one wall, there’s a whimsical full-length mirror trimmed in hand-painted botanicals from Fleur Home. On another are paintings by Gary Bunt and by James’s aunt, Elliott Puckette.

Puckette is known for painting elegant, swirly French-curvilinear creations—controlled yet wonderfully organic.

Still around, since our last interview, are her cats, Mac and Cheese. “Yes, they’re here with me,” she says, “and very much enjoying the peace and quiet. Mac is around seven now, and Cheese is 12 or 13.”

Nicky self-describes as shy and introverted—traits that proved positive during COVID-19 ’s shelter-in-place mandate. “I was happy and grateful to be home with my family, and I didn’t take that for granted,” she says. “It’s pretty incredible when I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner over 100 consecutive days with my husband and children at the height of the pandemic. I don’t know at what other point in my life when that will happen again. Every single meal, every day—definitely the silver lining to the lockdown.”

Mirroring Nicky’s personality and that of Paris, her gregarious older sister, are Nicky’s daughters who share similar opposing characteristics. “With the girls, my oldest is an introvert and reclusive, and the little one is extroverted and more talkative.”

Nicky’s other home-bound pleasures these days include online shopping from unique boutiques like First Dibs. “I scroll for art or vintage pieces or furniture, and you can get lost for hours,” she says. “Etsy has a lot of cools stuff, too, and they like supporting the independent vendor. I just bought some hand-blown vases. I’m also committed to shop local this year and support my neighborhood shops like the McNally Jackson bookshop instead of buying on Amazon.

98 GENLUX SPRING/SUMMER 2021

The Hilton girls were born in New York and raised on both coasts. When they were in elementary school, they crushed on the cast of a new show called Beverly Hills 90210. “I loved Luke Perry, Jason Priestly—all of the boys!” Nicky exclaims, “I did!”

Nicky remembers getting dressed up to go to Chasen’s restaurant (the original Beverly Hills celebrity haunt with its dark wood paneling and U-shape leather booths) for Sunday brunch with her parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton. Often, Aaron Spelling, the show’s creator, and his daughter, Tory, who played Donna Martin on 90210, would be there. “Even though we were family friends, Paris and I would beg my mom to bring us over to their table to get an autograph from Tory,” recalls Nicky. “Then, at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation events, the 90210 cast would have booths to raise money, so Paris and I would wait in the long line to get their pictures and autographs. We were 90210 obsessed.”

Both Paris and Nicky are now astute businesswomen who recognize the equity of fame and the value of the ubiquitous Hilton brand. Paris has 19 product lines and counting, and Nicky recently collaborated with Amanda Hearst Rønning on a new collection of cruelty-free, eco-sustainable ballet flats for French Sole. “I live in cotton dresses and silk boho dresses and cutoff jean shorts,” Nicky shares. “I wanted to make some cute and comfortable shoes that I could wear. My shoes are 100 percent sustainable made of a combination of certified recycled materials. The linings are beaded microfibers, and the sole is plant-based. I found this factory in Spain that specializes in sustainable materials.”

“It was great to do this collection with Amanda, who I’ve known since we were babies,” says Nicky. “Amanda has an ecoconscious fashion website where she highlights sustainable fashion brands. I consider myself a pretty eco-friendly person. I’m not perfect, but I try to do my part to lead a more sustainable life, like turning off the lights when I leave the room or taking shorter showers. I feel like we all need to do our part to leave this world a better place for our children.”

Nicky’s latest philanthropic work includes the Arise Foundation (arisefdn.org), an NGO that combats human trafficking. “There’s a crisis in the Philippines that needs our help,” Nicky shares emphatically. “Online sexual exploitation of Filipino children has increased 264% during the lockdown as traffickers have found ways of targeting children. 11-years-old is the average age of children rescued in the Philippines.” Nicky is also participating in the board intern program at the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. Last year, the foundation distributed $207 million around the world. “Every year, we award the largest humanitarian prize in the world,” says Nicky. “In 2020, $2.5 million in unrestricted funding went to Homeboy Industries in LA—the gang intervention, rehab, and re-entry program dedicated to providing hope, training and support to individuals. I’m incredibly proud of the good work of our Hilton family foundation.” G

Everybody is doing it; cycling all over town! This summer I have my eyes on this super-chic and extra-quick Beaumont Rev City electric bike. Zip around with assisted power at speeds up to 20-mph. It’s like exercising while looking fabulous.

Whoever knows me, knows I love perfume. I’m loving this adorable necklace. Spray the pebble, let it dry for a few seconds and the scent will be with you for up to two days. You can spray encore et encore et encore. Hmmmm, j’aime ça!!!

ME AND SNOWDEN HILL

106 GENLUX SPRING/SUMMER 2021

I have been away for 91 days from my home in Chelsea. It started with ten days taking photographs in Barbados, where it was an utter joy to be away from the endless conversations about whether or not to have a vaccine. I went with my hairdresser, Snowden Hill. (It’s said Joan Crawford only traveled with her hairdresser—she couldn’t stand anyone else). We saw the whole island of Barbados and love the people who live there. I stayed at the hotel Cobblers Cove—a stunning paradise of pink and white 50s glamour. Next, we traveled to a pink and orange boutique hotel in Mexico called Las Alamandas—an oasis away from the drug cartels in total safety. It’s owned by Isabel Goldsmith-Pantiño—such an incredible hostess with a charming staff. I stayed in a pretty house called Bougainvillea. The highlight was riding perfect horses on the beach and regaining my equestrian nerve.

I went to a birthday party in Carayes given by an elegant Russian named Masha Adonyeva—a beautiful affair with singers and guitarists in traditional costumes. During my stay, I had picnics, walks, and adventures to the surrounding mountains. My flight from Mexico to LA was via a tiny plane, where I believe my luggage weighed about as much. I prayed I’d arrive safely, and did.

LA is slowly opening, though, The Charlie, my favourite historical hotel, was not open, so I stayed at the Kimpton Le Peer. A cute place walking distance to Maxfield’s. Sue Wong hosted an extravaganza at her beautiful Hollywood historical mansion in Loz Feliz— totally chic and gorgeously decorated. Before leaving, I had a quiet drink with another GENLUX contributor, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, at his home on Crescent Heights—it’s so full of style, and I loved his clothes, shoe cupboards, and his use of black and white.

I also love my friend Nigel Daley’s new magazine, The Laboratory Collection. The most current issue celebrates the life of Duggie Fields, who, sadly, passed away in March. Our time is indeed precious, so let’s close the door on gloom and build back better. Minimalism is out! Let’s share the colour and live fashion to its fullest. G

108 GENLUX SPRING/SUMMER 2021

these gorgeous candles! Lucky me!! Several months ago I was gifted a few Saint candles created by my beautiful friend Ira DeWitt. Saint Candles are modern Prayer Candles for a Cause.

Ira is a music executive with a PhD in education. When a friend was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, she wanted to give her something more purposeful— something that evoked a sense of comfort and spirituality — so Ira created this candle collection.

There are 15 different candles named after a patron saint. The beautiful packaging, individualized scents, and unique features make this an unforgettable gift.

Each Saint Candle comes with a prayer to the patron saint, holy oil as part of the wax (blessed by both a priest and a rabbi), and an Italian prayer coin embedded into the candle which reveals itself once the candle has burned down. When I found the coin.... it was like the surprise toy inside! Now here is where the story gets great. Ira donates 10% to 20% of all proceeds (depending on which product) to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. After only a year and a half in business, $100,000 has been donated thus far.

Candles with a cause.... what a heavenly idea! Thank you Ira!! $55, saintcandles.com

GENLUX My Summertime Skincare Vacation Guide

Summertime is fast approaching - a time of family trips, relaxation and most importantly, a break from everyday duties and routines. While enjoying the hot weather, we must not forget about our skin, which requires special protection. Follow my tips to keep your skin looking healthy and beautiful throughout the summer.

-Ninka B @ninkabskin

1. Sun Protection

2. Daily Hydration

Whether we take a trip to the ocean, escape to the mountains or enjoy a bicycle trip outside the city - our skin is exposed to the sun’s harmful rays. The most important thing is to use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours. Additionally, we should avoid excessive exposure to the sun, especially around noon. Ninka B. recommends: EltaMD UV Aero Broad-Spectrum SPF 45, $34.50, dermstore.com, or EltaMD.com

Summer is when our skin requires additional care. Both sunbathing and hot weather conditions - high temperatures and wind - irritate and significantly weaken the skin’s condition. Therefore, it is worth using daily serums and creams containing active ingredients such as antioxidants, ceramides, and peptides to ensure adequate facial skin hydration.

It is also essential to remember to apply care to the whole body.

Nourishing lotions will bring relief after spending time outdoors. Ninka B. recommends: ZO Skin Health Daily Power Defense $150; ZO Body Emulsion, $95, zoskinhealth.com

4. Lip care

The intense summer sun is tough on the thin and delicate lip skin, prone to dryness. I recommend that you carry with you my favorite go-to product that feels luxurious and nourishing. It will prevent dryness and make your lips look luscious.

Ninka B. recommends: La Mer The Lip Balm, $70, net-a-porter.com

3. Treat your skin to a mask

I am a big proponent of the regular use of facial masks. It’s one of the most pleasant ways to feed the skin with nourishing ingredients and ensure a healthy glow afterwards. During hot summer months and vacation season, both traveling and sun exposure may dry up the skin’s surface. Therefore a cooling and hydrating mask is a must. My favorite is the Sircuitskin Swell Oceanic Cooling Mask, formulated with antioxidants, caviar extract, pearl powder, aloe vera, and sea buckthorn extract. This mask will delightfully refresh the skin and the firming properties to the skin. Ninka B. recommends: Sircuitskin Swell Oceanic Cooling Mask, $75, sircuitskin.com

5.Take cooling showers

A cooling shower will revitalize the skin and add radiance to it. It’s a great way to refresh your body, and to add a little energy on a hot summer day. Additionally, it firms and tones the skin. Using a luxurious and hydrating body wash will keep the skin barrier healthy and transport your mind to a relaxing oasis. Ninka B. recommends: Le Labo Rose 31 shower gel, $55, lelabofragrances.com

My mission is to create a beautiful future for your skin. Enjoy the selection of products I hand-picked to maintain your beauty and youthfulness. I wish you all a wonderful Spring into Summer! @ninkabskin
