FRONT RUNNER

Hollywood fantasy is everyday reality for Miamians, as Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston found out when they shot Marley & Me here.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, MIAMI! With its endless miles of white-sand beaches, turquoise water, and Art Deco buildings, it’s no surprise that Miami is a frequent backdrop for Hollywood blockbusters (The Birdcage, There’s Something About Mary, and, of course, Scarface, among many others). But not everything filmed in Miami features sexy models, “baller” athletes, drag queens, or mobsters. There was also the family favorite Marley & Me. Eight years ago, while in town to shoot the PG-rated tearjerker, Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson took the time to enjoy the Magic City away from the cameras. Famously photographed on a Miami beach in her string bikini, Aniston was also spotted taking in the nightlife, indulging in a lychee martini with friends at the Mandarin Oriental, and dining at Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in the Design District. And Wilson? He couldn’t get enough of the

water. “I always make sure I take a swim when I’m in Miami, as I used to do when I filmed Marley & Me,” he shared at last year’s Art Basel in Miami Beach. Film and television crews still pop up around Miami with regularity. In recent years, Miami Vice, Dexter, and CSI: Miami turned city streets into soundstages. And in 2016, a new crop of Hollywood hits—like the Golden Globe – nominated Narcos, HBO’s top-rated comedy Ballers, and Netflix’s Bloodline—is bringing South Florida to screens big and small. The recent release Ride Along 2 had Ice Cube and Kevin Hart bouncing all over the city, while Jonah Hill and Miles Teller just wrapped the fact-based criminal dramedy Arms and the Dudes, which was primarily shot in South Beach. And when Hill wasn’t filming on the beach, he could be seen at his Miami Beach hotel pool with a couple of beauties in bikinis. When in Miami… OD

FRONT RUNNER Playwright Edward Albee talks to students at the Miami-Dade Community College South Campus (now the Kendall Campus) about his craft in April 1980.

Edward albEE GoEs to school Famed playwright Edward Albee paid a visit to what was then the MiamiDade Community College South Campus in April of 1980 to shine some light on the creative arts for a group of eager students. Albee’s presentation was part of the college’s Distinguished Visiting Professor Series, which in its early years focused on guests with high visibility and name recognition. Albee certainly fit the bill: The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright is known for hits like The Zoo Story, A Delicate Balance, Seascape, Three Tall Women, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?—the latter a Tonywinning production, which also became a 1966 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. A part-time Coconut Grove resident, Albee was a regular in Miami in the 1980s, even directing Seascape at the Coconut Grove Playhouse. His presence

on campus (which was later renamed the Kendall Campus) was likewise a big hit. Initially the DVP program was paid for by college funds, but beginning with the 1984–’85 academic year, the program was funded by an endowment in the M-DCC Foundation, established through a challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Big-name visitors like Albee were a key part in the program’s development. The day with the students was likely mutually beneficial. Albee, who in 1986 taught a month-long seminar at Florida Atlantic University, enjoyed workshopping with students. “I find I still have a lot to learn with a lot of things,” he once told the Sun Sentinel. “Interaction with the students teaches me a lot about my craft, and maybe they’ll learn a lot about their craft at the same time.” OD

Letter from the editor-in-Chief

With Ocean Drive’s February cover star, Shanina Shaik, celebrating her cover at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood Hotel & Casino.

How long do you Have to live in tHis town before you can call yourself a true Miami local? Do you have to be born here, like Pitbull, before they can refer to you as Mr. 305? Do you need to graduate from Miami Beach Senior High like legendary producer Bernie Yuman? Do you have to be born into Miami royalty à la Steve Sawitz, whose family has owned and operated Joe’s Stone Crab for over 100 years? Maybe you get grandfathered in by making great contributions to the city, like Gloria Estefan, who immigrated here as a child from Cuba. Or Dan Marino, who hails from Pittsburgh but as a member of the Miami Dolphins became one of the city’s favorite sons. Dwyane Wade came from Chicago, but our town was quick to unofficially rename Miami-Dade “Wade County.” In Miami, we love our boldfaced sons and daughters. Whether they were born here or not, the Miami family keeps a tight circle. I’m not sure there are specific criteria—the city is not a Hall of Fame where nominations are made and votes are cast. Artists such as Michele Oka Doner grew up here and now create here. Families like the Galbuts, Whitmans, Soffers, and others have been building here for decades, and in some cases centuries. Names like that are Miami. And then certain Miamians—oftentimes athletes, celebrities, and chefs—come and go, while others, like Alonzo Mourning, arrive

and never leave. Some, such as singer Lenny Kravitz, called Miami home, then left, but still come back like a college kid for the holidays. Madonna owned this town for the better part of the late ’90s. Models have made their careers down here, businessmen have lost and gained millions, families have come here seeking a better life and never looked back. Another name destined to be ingrained in the culture and history of Miami is that of our April cover star, Juan Esteban Aristizábal Vásquez, aka Juanes. Named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine, the Grammywinning singer-songwriter-activist, who has sold more than 15 million albums, has unquestionably made our town—Key Biscayne, specifically—his home. And as Miami continues to become synonymous with Latin culture in North America and around the world, the names “Juanes” and “Miami” will go hand in hand.

LETTER from the Publisher

With Florencia Jimenez-Marcos, Iva Kosovic, and Vanessa Ressler at an exclusive shopping event at Vince Bal Harbour benefiting the New World Symphony; with Antonio Martucci and Navin Chatani at Ocean Drive’s March cover celebration, hosted by Malin Åkerman, at Wall at the W South Beach; with Malin Åkerman at Ocean Drive’s March cover celebration at Wall at the W South Beach.

THE MADNESS OF MARCH MAY BE OVER, but don’t for a second think that things will be slowing down anytime soon. In fact, April might just be the best time to be in Miami. As the influx of people dies down and we recuperate from the numerous high-wattage events, like the Miami Open and Ultra, we get to enjoy what truly makes the Magic City magical. From the delicious new restaurants, grandiose clubs, and other hot spots seemingly popping up on every corner, to the unparalleled museums and shopping centers, to our sunshine and oceanfront oases, I encourage you to sit back, relax, and take in everything our amazing city has to offer. Perhaps the epitome of a true Miamian doing just that is international megastar Juanes, whom we are thrilled to feature on our cover this month. When the Latin rocker isn’t recording another smash hit in his newly built studio in Doral or staging a sold-out concert to the masses of die-hard fans at AmericanAirlines Arena, this family man is soaking in all the pleasures of Miami with his wife, Karen, and his children, daughters Luna and Paloma and son Dante. If kicking back isn’t your style and you find yourself anxiously awaiting Miami’s wave of endless celebrations and glamorous soirées, don’t fret. Come May, Maison&Objet Americas will hit the Miami Beach Convention Center, bringing the city a design-centric show that’s sure to be spectacular. So before summer arrives and our temperatures reach sweltering heights, be sure to stop and savor our city’s diverse offerings. I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed. I look forward to seeing you around town...

Bryn Kenny

style writer

photographer

Bryn Kenny began her career as an editor and writer at WWD and W magazine and served as public relations director for Dior Beauty before founding her eponymous beauty and lifestyle consulting firm. This year she colaunched the members-only beauty flashsale site Vainité. She has had work published in Gather Journal, Los Angeles Confidential, Gotham, and Whalebone magazine and on the popular websites Refinery29 and xoJane. In this issue, Kenny profiles new Cavalli creative director Peter Dundas.

A New Jersey native, Jim Wright has shot for Town & Country, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, Harper’s Bazaar UK, and InStyle magazines. While his advertising and celebrity work keep him from becoming a starving artist, it is his passion for surfing, travel, and Bruce Springsteen’s music that really inspire him. Wright shot Ocean Drive’s cover story on Juanes.

What most impressed you during your interview with Peter Dundas? I loved the ethos that inspired Peter’s first collection for Cavalli—concepts of freedom, blurred and redefined boundaries. There’s a sense of fun, and rebellion, seen throughout the collection. How do you think the Cavalli aesthetic melds with the Miami lifestyle? Miami is a sexy, audacious, adventurous, colorful city, and Cavalli is a sexy, audacious, adventurous, colorful brand. They’re almost one and the same!

What was your inspiration for the shoot with Juanes? The inspiration and concept for the shoot were the early images of Bruce Springsteen. I was very aware of Juanes and his music before the shoot, and I wanted to bring a little grittier style to his image. What is your favorite thing about shooting in Miami? The weather. I love shooting on the beaches and the laid-back atmosphere. However, I could do without the humidity.

Jordi Lippe-McGraw has been a lifestyle writer for almost 10 years, with her work appearing in countless national and international outlets. She also started the company Well Traveler, through which she shares beautiful and practical stories from around the world, inspiring people to learn simple steps toward creating a happy and healthy life. In this issue, she profiles So You Think You Can Dance winner Gaby Diaz for “Beach Patrol.”

Born in Miami, Rodolfo Martinez received a bachelor’s degree in photojournalism from the University of Miami and a master’s degree in journalism from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications. The now New York City –based photographer shot Ocean Drive’s fashion feature “Wonder Walls.”

journalist

What most impressed you during your interview with Gaby? Her absolute determination to succeed. When one door would close, she would kick open a new one. As someone who has interviewed a number of reality show contestants, what are you often surprised to discover? Everything you don’t see on TV. What happens behind the scenes is often more dramatic, tense, and stressful than anything that makes it on air. So, do you think you can dance? When I dance, I think I look like Beyoncé but am pretty sure I more closely resemble a Muppet.

photographer

What was your inspiration for the shoot? Color. What is your favorite thing about shooting in Miami? The Cuban food. Why is Miami such a perfect city for photographing fashion? The weather.

STYLE Tastemaker Cavalli’s first creative director since Roberto Cavalli himself, Norwegian fashion ace Peter Dundas has pledged to uphold the master’s boundarypushing aesthetic.

By Bryn Kenny

Peter Dundas’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection for Roberto Cavalli—his first as creative director— draws from the Italian house’s familiar codes while incorporating a more irreverent, street-smart perspective. “I wanted to explore sportier ways of expressing the Cavalli woman’s vibe,” says Dundas about the inspiration behind the biker babe-meets-’80s pop star ensembles he sent down the runway. “The collection is precious, but there is no attitude. It’s a more modern way to dress that doesn’t forget the essence of who the Roberto Cavalli woman is—very glamorous and sexy.” continued on page 94

oceandrive.com 93

STYLE Tastemaker Peter Dundas (below right) preps a model backstage before Roberto Cavalli’s Spring/Summer 2016 runway show in Milan (top and below left), his first as the label’s creative director.

“The Cavalli woman of Today is a True free spiriT who drinks in life wiTh The uTmosT inTensiTy.”

For daytime looks, Dundas paired modern separates, such as a billowing trench coat in washed-out peach, with short shorts and buff leather, while lavender high-waisted jeans, burnout suede tops, and brocade lion prints were mixed, matched, and thrown together with abandon. Somewhere along the way, he folded day into night, pairing sweatshirt-style tops with high-low ball skirts and incorporating accents of shimmering lamé and graphic animal prints. In the collection are plenty of red-carpet moments, including embroidered, dancing-on-tables minis as well as more ethereal (though hardly less bold) evening dresses consisting mainly of precariously placed swaths of tie-dyed chiffon and anchoring hardware. “They are all Cavalli classics, but reinterpreted for the Cavalli woman of today—a true free spirit who drinks in life with the utmost intensity,” says Dundas of his muse. “She puts her perception of beauty, sensuality, and vitality before the constraints of fashion trends.” It comes as no surprise that Dundas knows the Cavalli woman well: His new position marks a reunion between the Oslo, Norway-born designer and the Italian luxury house. From 2002 until 2005, he served as chief designer at Cavalli, holding posts at various other blockbuster brands in between, including Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, and Emilio Pucci. Although Dundas now divides his time between Cavalli headquarters, in Florence, Italy, and his longtime home of Paris, as a teenager he lived with his family in Indiana and later attended the Parsons School of Design in New York. This eclectic upbringing is evident in his boundary-pushing aesthetic. “Every experience I have had has added a layer to who I am as a designer today,” Dundas says. “Cavalli has a unique place in fashion that I want to reclaim and evolve. We are just getting started, but I am looking forward to the journey.” Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-8651749; robertocavalli.com OD

SECOND ACT When Carla Ossa arrived in the US, she was already a star. She had been working professionally as a model since she was 9 years old and rose to fame in her hometown of Medellín, Colombia. “My dad had a clothing company for kids, so I was his model, and then when I was 9 my mom put me in modeling classes just for me to learn how to move my body,” she tells Ocean Drive. “She wasted her money, because I’m still so clumsy.” Awkward preteen or not, Ossa caught the eye of bookers all over her country and quickly became a marketable face there. “They kept calling me to do commercials and other kids’ stuff,” she says. “When I was 16, the biggest agency in Colombia called me and I started working with them. I did pretty much everything you can do in Colombia, all the big brands.” But she reached a ceiling as a model in Colombia, so in 2004, in order to take her career to the next level, Ossa moved to Miami. She went to school to learn English and studied international communications at Lynn University, while her modeling career continued to thrive. Booking gigs for numerous European brands, she traveled the world, but she

always returned to Miami, which soon began to feel like home. “I fell in love with the city,” says Ossa, who has also landed domestic clients, such as Avon, Burger King, Bedhead, and Bonprix, as well as catalogue work for companies like JC Penney and Kohl’s. “Being here on your own makes you grow up a lot. When you’re 20, you think you can do anything. You think you’re the king of the world. It was fun, but now I have a great balance.” Currently represented by MC2 Model Management, the 29-year-old Edgewater resident likes living in a quiet neighborhood while being a stone’s throw from the action in Brickell and Miami Beach. She credits good genes and beauty rest for her continued success, adding, “I try to stay young in the soul—have fun, enjoy life, and stay healthy.” Her next goal? Ossa is looking to add “actress” to her résumé. She’s studying the Uta Hagen acting technique, learning lessons she hopes will boost her primary career as well. “It helps with the modeling, when they tell you to get into character,” she says of her studies. “I’m using it every day.” OD

As an interior designer, Susie Ankari found herself constantly schlepping fabrics and pillows between client meetings. Meanwhile, her daughter, Brit, at the time a film production and studio art student at the University of Miami, was lugging cameras, paint supplies, and other sundries between classes, her job at Diane von Furstenberg, and her internship with the Miami-based film company Rakontur. To meet their needs, the Ankaris would each carry the most functional—and least fashionable—totes they could find: cobalt-blue Ikea bags. “The very expensive bags that I had fell apart,” says Susie. Hoping to create something more stylish—but also durable enough to withstand paint-spattered art studios—Brit discovered the remains of some chocolate-brown, marine-grade faux crocodile material that Susie had used to cover seats on a client’s

yacht. Brit had the fabric transformed into an extra-large tote that not only looked elegant but could be cleaned with soap and water. When she used the bag to bring her laundry home one weekend, her mother requested one for herself. From then on, everywhere the Ankaris carried the totes, they were besieged by people asking about them. “It was such an organic, amazing process, where it was one bag that turned to two that turned to four that turned to eight,” says Brit. “We started thinking there really is something here.” The Ankaris made 30 bags with similar industrialgrade, high-fashion materials—faux exotic skins like ostrich, snake, and crocodile in a rainbow of shades, from Miami-chic pink, lime, and grape to black, white, and slate—and took them to an outdoor market on Lincoln Road. When they sold out in just a few hours, their bag line, Leni Penn, was born. Four years later, each Leni Penn bag is still handmade by artisans in South Florida with thread so durable it’s commonly used on yachts and in cars. They have been seen on the stylish arms of Tina Fey, Kate and Rooney Mara, Jessica Alba, and Michelle Pfeiffer, who wield the bags (which come in four sizes) as carry-on travelers, gym bags, work totes, and diaper bags. Besides producing items that are Americanmade and “vegan-friendly,” Leni Penn also has a philanthropic component: The Ankaris donate new purses and backpacks to families in need through local programs like Women in Distress. They also regularly contribute bags to charity auctions for such organizations as Ronald McDonald House, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America, Boys Town, and the ALS Association, to name a few. “We have a group of female artisans in South Florida who work for us privately, and to see their lives transformed by being able to support our local and immediate community, it’s rewarding on a whole other level,” says Brit. “It makes everything we’re doing worthwhile.” lenipenn.com OD

One of country music’s largest festivals—last year’s event drew more than 75,000 attendees— the weekend gathering is celebrating its fourth anniversary by bringing in the biggest slate of hit-makers ever. Case in point, chart-toppers Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, and Tim McGraw will join genre favorites Sam Hunt, Thomas Rhett, and Kip Moore, as well as rockers Elle King and Lynyrd Skynyrd, on the sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, April 15 through 17.

Should you opt to take things to VIP, you’ll get a bird’s-eye view from an exclusive viewing deck equipped with a private pool and free-flowing drinks. “I always knew there was a large country audience in South Florida,” says founder Chris Stacey. “We always try hard to offer a diverse musical experience.” For instance, Stacey “can’t wait to see Michael Franti do his reggae/hip-hop/rock fusion thing.” To add another layer of incentive to attend, Stacey is donating a portion of all ticket proceeds to the Rock the Ocean Foundation, which organizes benefit concerts to raise awareness about issues that affect the world’s oceans and support scientific research, education, and conservation initiatives. The organization will be hosting a large, onsite Conservation Village where it will educate fans, hand out gifts, and even offer one-on-one time with the musicians. In just three short years, the Tortuga Music Festival has raised over $250,000 for marine and ocean research, including donations to local organizations like REEF and Nova Southeastern University’s Oceanographic Center. “I spent a lot of time in the water while living in South Florida,” says Stacey, who wanted the festival’s

This is your second year at Tortuga. How different will this appearance be? I think it’s going to be crazy different. Last year we played early and had a few people know who we are, but not many. What makes this festival so special? It’s not too often you get to play with that kind of scenery. The crowd is amazing, too—that’s what blew me away last year. It’s a sea of people who really care about the music. How would you describe the vibe? Like spring break with top headline performers. You’re walking around and everybody is in their bathing suit, everyone is having a good time at the pool. It really is like a vacation, and then you look up and, hey, there’s a stage and you get to watch Blake Shelton or Kenny Chesney… We hear Florida has a special place in your heart. My wife and I actually met down here—at Disney World! We try to go back every year.

Even the very name of the festival sounds offbeat. We wanted to create a name that was poetry, as opposed to being about poetry. The name is the classic odic address: Think of addressing your beloved in a poem. “O Captain! My Captain!” for example? Exactly! In our case, our beloved is Miami. One of the things I always tell people is that it’s a poetry festival second, and a Miami festival first. The point of the festival is to celebrate all of the amazing creativity and culture we have here in Miami. The way we

narrow that down and focus it is through poetry. So if folks are looking for a taste of that culture, what’s a good starting point? Poetry Press Week. It’s originally from Portland, but it sounds like something invented in Miami. It takes the structure of a fashion show and turns it into a poetry event. At a fashion show, you have a designer presenting their new collection for the season on models who walk out on a runway. Poetry Press Week has found exciting new South Florida poets and given them the chance to present their work in a nontraditional way. The poets never read their own work. Someone else might read it, or act it out, or use contemporary dance, or an overhead projector. In the audience, just like in the fashion industry, we’ve seated insiders in the front row who can do something for those poets. So far we have people coming from BuzzFeed Literary, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and the Harvard Review—and there’ll be plenty more. Will there be paparazzi swarming out front, as well as a very imperious intern telling poets they’re not on the guest list? Hopefully! Normally poetry is about a jug of wine, a bunch of tweed, and

an overwhelming sense of sadness. We try to create a lot of pomp and circumstance that is usually not at a poetry reading. The O, Miami poetry festival takes place at various locations around town April 1–30; visit omiami.org. OD

Rhyme & Reason With events unfolding from Miami Beach to Hialeah, the O, Miami lineup can seem overwhelming. But Director P. Scott Cunningham advises not missing the April 27 reading by Boston’s Frank Bidart: “He’s one of the best living poets, and one of the best readers of poetry. Everything he says sounds like it’s coming from God, but in a very human way. If you have a little person inside you that is the ‘true’ you, it’s like that person speaking.” Another pick? The Poems to the Sky project, designed by Miami’s own Randy Burman and featuring couplets written by Liberty City elementary school students. Though Cunningham says you may need to book a flight to properly experience it: “We’re painting the poems on rooftops in the flight path of Miami International Airport. People on planes coming in and out of the city will be able to see the work out their windows.”

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a… poem? That’s more than just a punch line when it comes to April’s annual O, Miami poetry festival, an attempt to introduce every single person in Miami-Dade County to a poem. Festival director and founder P. Scott Cunningham oversees the event’s unique projects, which in the past have included sewing poetry inside thrift store clothing, projecting it onto the sides of buildings, and yes, trailing it on a banner behind a plane flying slowly above South Beach. Here, Cunningham offers a preview of this year’s happenings.

culture Art Full Two of Arnold Newman’s signature “environmental portraits”: composerconductor Igor Stravinsky (1946) and (below) painter Salvador Dalí (1951).

The Master at Work “Masterclass” may seem like a grandiose title for the Boca Raton Museum of Art’s exhibition of the late Arnold Newman’s photography, but believe the hype. Not only are we presented with more than 200 stunning photos spanning the career of one of the postwar era’s titans of portraiture, but we get an intimate look at just how those images were created. To that end, the show’s curator, William Ewing, has included a number of contact sheets with Newman’s own notations and crop marks, revealing the thought process behind photos that were already “exquisitely composed,” Ewing says. Newman’s aim was to produce what came to be known as “environmental portraits”—shots taken in the subject’s own studio or home that conveyed his or her very essence, whether it was dancer and choreographer Martha Graham or President John F. Kennedy. The secret to creating these now iconic images? For starters, Ewing points to the work ethic that Newman developed early

114 oceandrive.com

in his career. His family’s financial circumstances forced him to drop out of the University of Miami in 1938 and take a full-time job cranking out cheap portraits for hire—up to 70 a day. Although his initial clients may not have been famous or wealthy, they still yearned to look their best, and that’s a lesson that Newman seems never to have forgotten, even after his career took off in the late 1940s and he was regularly sought out by the best-selling magazines of the day. “Newman was a kind man,” Ewing explained in a lecture on “Masterclass,” contrasting the photographer’s approach with that of an equally acclaimed peer. “Richard Avedon’s portraits have a kind of cruelty to them, an exposure of vulnerability. Arnold Newman never did that. Arnold Newman was always sympathetic to his subjects.” “Arnold Newman: Masterclass” is on display April 21–July 3 at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, 501 Plaza Real, Boca Raton, 561-392-2500; bocamuseum.org.

Art is still a business based on handshakes, says gallery owner Richard Arregui (seen in his home), whose career, like the Miami art market, is flourishing.

If you’re trying to chart the remarkable rise of Miami’s art market over the past three decades, forget about calculating the impact of Art Basel in Miami Beach or mapping the transformation of Wynwood. Instead, simply look at the career of Richard Arregui. He began working as an art dealer in 1986, when the phrase “Miami art market” was often an exercise in wishful thinking. In the ensuing years, he would become a key figure in the city’s contemporary art whirl, partnering with fellow top-dog dealer Fredric Snitzer in the only local gallery to exhibit at every edition of Art Basel since the fair’s Miami Beach debut in 2002 and, more recently, becoming sales director at the Michael Jon Gallery, the sole Miami gallery besides Snitzer’s to show work at last year’s fair.

cal school with little passion for Anatomy 101. “I was supposed to be reading a book on histology, and instead I was reading a book about Jasper Johns,” he recalls with a chuckle. “It came down to asking myself, What is it I really love?” The art world beckoned, and after knocking on the door of virtually every gallery in Miami, he eventually landed a job at the Barbara Gillman Gallery, then one of the top local outlets for contemporary art. “I thought I was going to become the next Leo Castelli,” Arregui laughs, referring to the seminal dealer who helped launch a who’s who of artistic titans, including Johns, Frank Stella, and Roy Lichtenstein. The reality of Miami in the 1980s was a bit less heady. “Being an art collector wasn’t a lifestyle yet,” Arregui explains, with only a handful of knowledgeable locals regularly pursuing work by Miami artists. “Ninety percent of our business was to decorators. It was ridiculous!

MiaMi gallerist RichaRd aRRegui reflects on the city’s art scene, 30 years in the Making. by brett sokol

“The proliferaTion of arT fairs has made us forgeT how regionalized The arT world was 30 years ago.” —richard arregui

Here I am as a young kid, thinking I’m going to be talking about art. No. I had to learn every artist by color, so I could answer the really important questions like ‘Do you have anything that matches this swatch of mauve?’” The ’90s saw the situation start to improve, with Arregui opening his own gallery and launching the Art Walk in Coral Gables (then the artsy neighborhood of choice), as that handful of local collectors became… two handfuls. “The proliferation of art fairs has made us forget how regionalized the art world was 30 years ago,” he says. Being a Miami gallery meant you sold work almost exclusively to South Floridians: “Forget about New York. We would compare ourselves to Atlanta or New Orleans.” In 1998, Arregui went into what he wryly calls “art rehab,” shutting his gallery, getting married, and joining his family-run advertising firm, one of Miami’s most successful Latino-focused agencies. But an odd encounter in 2001 rekindled his interest in the art biz: Three scruffy-looking young men, claiming to be artists, turned up at his office hoping to rent an old house his family owned in the thenungentrified neighborhood of Edgewater. The trio turned out to be Daniel Arsham, Bhakti Baxter, and Martin Oppel, whose names would soon become synonymous with Miami’s art explosion and whose guerrilla-style shows at that home would be an early focal point for a fresh generation of art enthusiasts. For Arregui, the energy of this nascent scene was hard to resist. Assisting Snitzer at the 2004 Art Basel fair made it clear to him that something altogether new was happening. Says Arregui, “People were buying everything under the sun! ‘Oh, you’ll take two? Oh, you need three?’ Where were all these people a decade ago?” That frenzy was evidence of an exciting reality: Miami’s art market was now thriving. These new

collectors ran the gamut—“from people who were just discovering art, to those who did their homework, to those who were acquiring art for social status”—but what made it all worthwhile for Arregui was that “artists now have hope they can actually make a living from their passion,” he says. “If everything aligns and they’re good, they don’t have to be a barista during the day.” Contrast that with the ’80s and ’90s, he adds, when even Miami’s bestknown artists still often held day jobs. For budding dealers hoping to jump on the ostensible gravy train, however, Arregui cautions that some things haven’t changed. Yes, JPEGs have replaced 35mm slides. But despite the hoopla over all things digital, he insists that art remains a business built on handshakes, whether he’s at the Michael Jon Gallery’s Little River space or an art fair in Hong Kong. “At the end of the day, it’s a personal connection that makes a relationship solid,” he says, adding that relationships are ultimately what sells art to the serious collectors who are essential to forging and maintaining an artist’s career. “We’re not all robotized yet.” OD

As the creAtor of eMerge AMericAs And founder of MedinA cApitAl, Manny Medina is turning MiAMi into A tech town, one stArtup At A tiMe. by jon warech “It always frustrated me that Miami is the capital to Latin America for a lot of things but not technology,” says Manny Medina, founder and managing partner of Medina Capital. After Verizon acquired the publicly traded tech company Terremark, which Medina created in 2011, the former CEO and chairman of the board shifted his focus toward turning Miami into a tech hub through the eMerge Americas conference, which this year will kick off with software project Hackathon on April 15 and continuing with the core event April 18 and 19. “There wasn’t a platform that catered to Latin

America, Europe, and North America, that triangle, where you could come in and exchange ideas on social media, cyber security, innovation, big data, and all of the topics of the day in technology.” Medina has changed that in just three short years, with last year’s conference (connecting innovators, investors, and thought leaders through summits, workshops, and networking), welcoming 10,000 people from 50 countries and more than 500 companies in a startup competition that resulted in many getting funded—including one for $50 million. continued on page 124

“I belIeve the rIskIest thIng to do In lIfe Is to not do AnythIng.” —manny medina heading to a power dinner. “I’ve learned that in business, dinners—particularly if it’s an important topic—are more productive than lunches,” he notes. “People are more relaxed, and you can focus more. A glass of wine helps, too.” Being at the helm of Medina Capital has led to multiple shelves of awards and changed a number of lives, as well as the financial landscape of the city. “Retirement is overrated,” he says. “You see what’s going on with the ecosystem around Miami. I’m going to sit home and do what?” That next sab batical, it seems, is going to have to wait. eMerge Americas runs April 18–19; for more information, visit emergeamericas.org. OD

Where do you go for a business dinner? “It depends. one of my favorite restaurants in Miami is Il gabbiano (ilgabbianomia.com), if you want a little noise. for something a little quieter, la dorada (ladoradarestaurant.com) in Coral gables is a great environment, also with great fish. If you want to see and be seen, go to Caffe Abbracci (caffeabbracci.com).” Where do you exercise? “I used to live in fisher Island (fisherislandclub.com), and I still keep the equity membership there. If you’re going to go to the spa, fisher Island is phenomenal—everything in fisher Island is phenomenal. I used to play tennis there. now I play at royal Palm tennis Club (rptc.org).” Where do you unWind? “I like to sit around at george’s on sunset (1549 Sunset Dr., Miami, 3052849989). It’s great people-watching, and you just relax and have a cold beer.”

He compares eMerge to Art Basel, the fair that eventually gave rise to a permanent Miami art scene. For that to happen with the tech industry, Medina says, there need to be four elements: edu cation, incubators and accelerators, funding, and an employment base. “It’s circular,” he says. “Do we have enough of an employment base? No. Are we going to have enough? Yes. We’re attracting talent that before wouldn’t think of Miami. It’s beginning to change relatively quickly.” It all starts with education, which propelled Medina to become the business leader he is. A troubled kid who moved from Cuba to Miami in 1965, Medina bounced from school to school. With support and a little intimidation from his mother (“She’s still the only person I physically fear, and she’s five feet tall!”), he reluctantly attended Miami Dade College, where his life changed forever. “I found a nurturing environ ment that I had never known,” says Medina. “They give you that opportunity no matter what happened to you before.” Opportunity led him to receiving a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Florida Atlantic University and a CPA title at Pricewaterhouse Coopers, where he helped expand the Latin America department, prior to departing to Kuwait in 1991 to help rebuild that country after liberation from Iraq. Solitude led to clarity, and he realized the technology sector was his calling. “The best decision I ever made was to become a CPA and not practice accounting,” he says. “It was risky, but I believe the riskiest thing to do in life is to not do anything.” Medina launched Terremark, which did business everywhere from Silicon Valley to Istanbul, in 1980, then sold it to Verizon Communications in 2011 for $1.4 billion; the transition set him up for another leap. But not before he would unplug from technol ogy himself and take a sabbatical in the Keys. “When all of a sudden you don’t have 300 emails, it’s like getting off drugs,” he says. “It’s unsettling at first, but you come back a better person.” The time away resulted in the creation of Medina Capital, where Medina looks for and invests in earlygrowth technology companies with the pas sion and potential to take it to the next level. “If you’re invested, you’ve maxed your credit cards, you got a second mortgage on your mother’s house, and you’re working 17 hours a day, seven days a week—that’s where we come in,” he says. Today Medina is up at 5:30 am , playing tennis by 6:30 and spending full days at the office before

MY MIAMI On the rOad, but never far frOm hOme: Although she’s been away for months on the 70-city So You Think You Can Dance tour and is prepping for a bicoastal life in New York and Los Angeles, Diaz says Miami will always be her home and she misses some of her favorite spots: “I miss the incredible Cuban food from Versailles. I love the art in Wynwood and the Miami Heat basketball games.” future gOals: “Dance is my first passion and love, but I would love to branch out into the acting industry, and being on Broadway would be incredible.”

Less than a year ago, Gaby Diaz was just another Miami girl with a passion. “I’ve wanted to be a dancer for as long as I can remember,” says the 19-year-old. “I knew from middle school that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.” Diaz started training with Jillian Torgas-Leyva at the Roxy Performing Arts Center and graduated from the New World School of the Arts High School in 2014. But she quickly found her career stymied. “Dance is pretty big in Miami; there’s a lot of talent,” she says. “But there aren’t too many outlets to pursue it professionally.” After a semester of college, Diaz convinced her parents to let her take time off to audition for the hit Fox dance competition show So You Think You Can Dance. Despite her passion and preparation, however, she failed to impress the judges at her audition in Dallas. But Diaz wouldn’t take no for an answer. Instead, she flew to Detroit to audition again— this time with a tap routine—and it was here that she wowed them. “Being on the show has been a dream of mine since the first season,” she says. “Making it was pretty surreal.” Competing against some of the top dancers in the country, Diaz put her all into every routine— whether the challenge was jazz, contemporary, ballroom, or hip-hop. The competition was fierce, but the Cuban-American is convinced that her Latin flair helped set her apart. “My dance style incorporates styles like salsa and Afro-Cuban,” she says. “You can feel when you watch someone from Miami dancing—it’s in their blood.” Yet she never imagined she would walk away with the top prize: “I just took it week by week. I just wanted to make sure that every performance I gave was my best, because I never knew if it was going to be my last.” Her strategy worked, and last September she was crowned the season 12 champion, winning $250,000 and the chance to dance as part of Jennifer Lopez’s Planet Hollywood residency in Las Vegas. “I look up to Jennifer Lopez a lot,” Diaz says. “She started off as a dancer and her career has just exploded. I hope to be able to accomplish things like that one day.” OD

The light’s creators explain that it stimulates brain wave patterns usually found only in people who’ve been practicing meditation for years and that no two experiences are ever the same. The end result, they add, is that deeper states of meditation and high alpha patterns (associated with intuition, creativity, and better concentration) are within reach back in the everyday world. “The point of all of this is to stay grounded within a chaotic world,” says Clark. “I spent my entire life trying to feel sane.” Raised surrounded by American consumerism, the Texas native was “always looking for a connection to something higher.” It’s safe to say he found it in the bowls—or, as he claims, “It found me.” 1111 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, 305-804-6264; 1111vibe.com OD

Well SeaSoned AwArd-winning chefs from All over the country Are commAndeering the kitchen At stephAne dupoux’s lAtest hot spot, RiveR Yacht club. by carla torres

“Everyone thought I was crazy to take a rundown warehouse on the Miami River and do what I did there,” says award-winning hospitality designer Stephane Dupoux about hot spot and celebrity haven Seasalt & Pepper (now Seaspice), which he shepherded in, but also about his latest and most riveting project yet, River Yacht Club. Nestled on the up-and-rising waterway (once an adulterated gateway for Miami’s real-life Cocaine Cowboys), River Yacht Club is challenging the status quo of the archetypal yacht club, including a 55-foot eggplant-colored VanDutch that will not go unnoticed as it ferries VIPs through Miami’s waters. “It’s kind of an entertainment complex where you come for lunch, play a game of backgammon, have a business meeting, and end up staying for dinner,” says Dupoux.

River Yacht Club features the world’s first-ever alfresco VanDutch Lounge, a crudo kitchen, grill station, pastry lab, central bar, and garden dining. But who needs to brag when you’ve got 40,000 square feet of tropical waterfront wonderland to do the talking for you? “I planted every single tree here,” Dupoux says, strolling through the open walkway (one of the many nooks and crannies) bounded by shrubs and overlooking all of RYC. “You can come up here to take in the fresh scents and still see everything that’s happening downstairs.” That is, everything except the private dining room/crudo kitchen, whose floor-to-ceiling windows are cloaked by deep crimson blackout curtains for those seeking a more discreet dining experience. Notes Dupoux, “Intimacy and exclusivity is something Miami looks for.” To sate the latter, RYC has a membership program ranging from admiral, designed specifically for corporations with a Miami presence, to ambassador, for the non-boat owner who still wants to enjoy the benefits of a yacht club. “Only members can dock their boats, access the VanDutch Lounge, and make reservations for tables,” says the restaurateur. However, RYC also offers plenty of seats—more than 400—to accommodate walk-ins.

(The worst thing that can happen is you’ll need to wait at the bar with a cocktail in hand or an açai pitcher, watching as tug boats haul tankers and speedboats full of beautiful people zoom by.)

At the table, you’ll be able to order classic bites from the crudo and raw bar, simply prepared proteins from the grill (think Florida lobster, veal chop, or Wagyu), or dishes created by different James Beard-nominated toques. Says Dupoux, “We’ve broken the year up into seasons, and each season will be entering into an agreement with a visiting chef who will be here three months, coming up with dishes, and training staff until the day a new season starts, at which point we’ll have a party with the new chef’s complete menu.” The most liked dishes from each chef will remain on the menu, with a nod to their creators, so you can enjoy them year round, even after the chef’s residency and season have ended. Spring kicks off with James Beard nominee Chris Rendell from The Surf Lodge in Montauk. With summer and the apex of Miami boating season just on the horizon, Dupoux’s already looking forward to bringing the heat to RYC. “I don’t want to spoil the surprise” by announcing the next chef prior to his or her residency, he says, only assuring guests that “it’s on the same level” as Rendell. Your taste buds, it seems, are going to have to wait to find out. 401 SW Third Ave., Miami, 305-200-5716; riveryachtclub.com OD

Diners at Fort Lauderdale’s popular Valentino Cucina Italiana have been rapturous over an appetizer of petite plin pasta plumped with beet and goat cheese puree, garnished with a grating of farm-aged goat cheese, and textured with crisp rounds of black sesame brittle. While it is available only on the nightly tasting menu, patrons at this elegant, 86-seat establishment can request it à la carte, and chef/owner Giovanni Rocchio will oblige. “You’re paying for it, we’ll do it,” affirms “Chef Gio,” a Staten Island native whose amiability doesn’t square with his supposed rep as a “restaurant tyrant.” “Who, me?” he asks when that sobriquet is mentioned, but his feigned surprise gives way to an acknowledgement that he knows of the label—and might even be the one who started it. “There’s enough on the menu—salads, pasta, fish, meat,” he says in discussing his modus operandi. “If you can’t find anything you’d like, or you’ve got allergies and can’t eat any of it, then just stay home.” This is stated with no malice. Rocchio simply sees himself as the conductor of an innovative Italian culinary journey through a luscious landscape of your choosing: beef tartare with truffle cream, Marcona almond-crusted duck breast, Tuscan seafood stew… The diners’ role is to relax and relish, not to suggest minor changes in direction.

Rocchio has the track record to back his convictions. Growing up, he worked at his father’s restaurant, the original Valentino (in Plantation, Florida), then studied business at Broward Community College. This was succeeded by stints at esteemed establishments in New York City (like Fiamma and Picholine) and apprenticeships in Italy. So when the seasoned chef opened his own Valentino Cucina Italiana in 2006 (moving to its current, larger locale in 2012), it was time to call the shots. Case in point, not offering corkage. “It would be like me going to a doctor’s office and bringing my own bandages because I don’t want to pay for theirs,” he says, explaining that wine is an important restaurant revenue stream—and one you don’t have to break a sweat to earn. Don’t worry, though: Valentino’s illuminated, wall-to-wall wine display encompasses numerous Sauvignon Blancs and dry rosés to pair with the plin. A full-service bar likewise beckons. Inspiration for the dish was simple: “Beets and

goat cheese make a great combination in salad, so I figured I would try it with pasta.” The preparation is straightforward as well. Rocchio roasts the locally sourced beets with olive oil, afterward rolling them about in a pan to steam out moisture. A brisk whirl in the food processor precedes the inclusion of soft white goat cheese, done while the beets are warm so the tart/sweet notes can better meld. The resulting puree is seasoned with ParmigianoReggiano cheese, a bit of salt, and a bold dash of black pepper. The richness of the filling demands a small cut of pasta such as the Piedmontese agnolotti del plin, yolk-hued squares of dough prepared in-house using a mix of semolina and Italian-milled “OO” flours. Upon service, the plin are briefly cooked, then coated in a pan sauce made from a splash of the starchy pasta water emulsified with a swirl of whole butter (beurre fondue). The glazed packets are plated with drizzles of beet syrup, fresh beets, redveined sorrel microgreens, flakes of aged Coach

“Beets and goat cheese make a great comBination in salad, so i figured i would try it with pasta.” —giovanni rocchio Farm goat cheese, and sweet black sesame brittle— beets and goat cheese merged, contrasted, and amplified into a buoyant bon voyage of a first course. Would Rocchio consider offering a gluten-free rendition? “We’ve got risotto,” he replies with an impish grin. 620 S. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale, 954-523-5767; valentinocucinaitaliana.com OD

From Brooklyn, with Love Top Chef veteran Dale TalDe exports his eponymous Brooklyn eatery to the sands of south Beach. by carla torres “My résumé kind of speaks for itself,” says former Top Chef contestant Dale Talde (inset). Indeed, prior to noodling his way onto the Emmy-winning reality culinary competition, the Chicago-born Filipino-American moved to New York City to open Morimoto, working under the tutelage of the Iron Chef before moving up the Stephen Starr ranks, then on to sous chef at the nationally acclaimed Buddakan. True to his wise-guy character on television, Talde went rogue and opened his eponymous eatery in Brooklyn. When it came time for him to take his award-winning kung pao chicken wings south, there was no question of where to go—says Talde, “Miami is lacking in good Chinese food.” This is the first restaurant you’ve opened outside of New York. Why Miami? Miami has always been a thing for me. There’s a quality of life here that people hold on to. I think it has a lot to do with the Spanish influence of enjoying and embracing life and not taking work so seriously. How is the South Florida Talde outpost different from the Brooklyn location?

my heart because it’s my first restaurant. We built that with our two hands. I literally bought that kitchen with a credit card. Miami is awesome because we had some money to make this the truest representation of what our restaurants want to be aesthetically, and it shows. What about foodwise? A few new menu items—the lemongrass pork, the short ribs—but for the most part, the food is the same as Brooklyn. Oh, and the late-night noodles that are perfect for late-night partying. How did Top Chef change your career? People who would have never tasted your food otherwise come out to see you, but I’d be grinding the same grind whether I was on Top Chef or not. Sometimes I wish my life could be a little simpler, but simple is boring and so basic. Does that explain the pretzel dumplings and oyster bacon pad Thai? My old chef at Buddakan was making soft pretzels one time, and I wondered what if you did that with a dumpling. Pad Thai is the best hangover food in the morning—it has a lot of eggs and mad starch to soak up the poison. In that same mind-set, I thought bacon goes well with brunch, and what goes well with bacon? Oysters. Start to finish, what’s the perfect meal at Talde? If you get the Korean fried chicken and the crab fried rice and the Brussels sprouts, you’ll get an amazing bite. OD

uanes is hard at work in his home studio in Key Biscayne. He’s putt ing t he f inishing touches on his upcoming album, which will include more electric guitar and— for the first time—some lyrics in English. Yet despite these changes to the sound that has made him a star, he’s in his comfort zone. “I really love to be in the studio,” Juanes says. “I could live in the studio for weeks. I spend most of the day here working. Sometimes I’ll come with an idea I already have, and then other times I come here with nothing and start to improvise. That’s how I like to work. From improvisation, I find elements I really like and I start to build the song—like playing with Legos, putting things over others and changing one piece for another—and at the end of the day, you have a song. I really like the process of creating.” The Lego comparison is an easy one for Juanes, who lives with his wife, actress-model Karen Martinez, and their two preteen daughters and 6-year-old son. While the studio is where he works, it’s just steps from his family—and maybe an occasional rogue Lego or two. “I just go out of the studio and give a hug to my kids and say ‘I love you guys,’ and then I come back and I keep working,” he says. “That for me is the best. That’s what Miami gives me a lot of: tranquility and focus on my work and on my family.” Outside his peaceful Key Biscayne enclave, however, Juanes (full name: Juan Esteban Aristizábal Vásquez) is one of the biggest rock stars in the world. He has won two Grammy Awards and 21 Latin Grammys and has sold more than 16 million albums worldwide. In the past seven months alone, the Colombian-born singer has performed for the pope, sung alongside a slew of stars on nationally televised tributes to Frank Sinatra and John Lennon, and released “Este Amor,” a groundbreaking track that combines Latin rock and EDM with the help of DJ and fellow Miamian Cedric Gervais. While Juanes is undeniably a crossover sensation—a process that began 15 years ago when he moved to

oceandrive.com 157

the United States—he doesn’t like the idea of being the face of Latin music. “Once you get into the Latin world, you can find all different kinds of music—punk, metal, hip-hop, reggaeton, salsa, merengue—there are many sounds,” he says. “When they invite me to these shows, I feel honored to be part of the experience, but I am not representing the Latin world. I’m just one of millions of Latin artists doing what we love, which is music.” His own musical influences—including American performers he had access to growing up in Colombia—span a number of genres. He started playing guitar at age 7, taught by his father and brothers. But it was Juanes’s Colombian childhood and his exposure to the horrors to which humanity can sink that may have inspired his early songwriting: A cousin was killed by kidnappers, a friend was killed by gunmen, his father died of cancer. Listening to music from his home country as well as popular Englishlanguage acts like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, and Led Zeppelin helped him develop a unique sound that can’t be categorized simplistically as “Latin rock.” “I grew up listening to all the rock bands and punk bands,” Juanes says. “I really love the way they play guitar. I learned to mix my way of playing guitar with this type of music. I understand the Anglo vibe, but I’m singing in Spanish. I mix Anglo sounds with Latin sounds and find my own way to make music.” In order to add English to the mix on his new album, Juanes explains, he is working with more-fluent English speakers so he can translate his thoughts and feelings more accurately. But what simplifies the process is that love is a theme in all languages. “The essence of [my songwriting] has always been this powerful energy, which is love,” he says. “I feel today the same as I did 20 years ago, that the most important thing for me is love. What makes me feel alive and what makes me move every day is love. It’s the love I have for my kids, for my wife, for my friends, family, country, and also the difficult pains this world can give and [how that] affects me.” And Juanes has witnessed the world’s pain firsthand. In January, he traveled with John Legend to Eloy Detention

Center in Arizona to see for himself the plight of immigrant families in custody. Not allowed to perform inside the facility, the two stars turned a flatbed truck and a sound system into a makeshift concert stage outside. “It touched my heart in a very deep way,” Juanes says of the experience. “The first thing they told us was ‘You guys cannot speak with anyone here. If you speak with anyone, immediately we’ll cancel the [show].’ There are many people in jail who dream to have a different life.” But given his growing success, Juanes knows he now has the ability to make a difference. “Music is a powerful weapon for peace,” he says. “You can use music to send a message to society, and people can understand and learn more about these issues. It’s important to put the focus [on] these people who are mostly invisible in this country.” Whether he’s touring a detention center or singing a medley of songs that Sinatra recorded with Antonio Carlos Jobim (as part of a show with Lady Gaga, Usher, Adam Levine, Tony Bennett, Garth Brooks, and many others), Juanes uses these opportunities to grow as an artist. Of the Sinatra show, he says, “For me it was a challenge to sing the songs and play guitar like Jobim. It helps me to learn more about music, and to be with all these great artists, it was fantastic.” But as he labors in the studio over his next album, Juanes doesn’t have to travel far for inspiration. He says he gets it every day from his children: “When you have a kid and you talk with them, they’re just so cute. It’s pure love. There’s nothing else. They teach you every day—just how to be a better person and a better man. That pureness of love is what they teach me every day. I see myself through my kids.” And soon the world will be able to see Juanes in a new light. He recently partnered with producer Ben Silverman ( Jane the Virgin, Ugly Betty) to create a television show called Persiguiendo el Sol (Chasing the Sun), based on Juanes’s rise to fame. “It’s inspired from the part of my life from 18 to 25 years old,” the singer says, “from when I was living in Medellín, Colombia, with my rock band, to when I moved here and all the things that happened throughout those years.” There will be drama and comedy, not to mention sex and rock ’n’ roll, which his fans are sure to love and which will be—he is quick to point out—embellished:

“Miami gives me a lot of tranquility and focus on my work and on my family.”

“What makes me feel alive and what makes me move every day is love.”

“There’s a lot of fiction, of course. It’s going to be very extreme.” Juanes will be a producer on the show and possibly write a few songs for it, but he has no intention of stepping in front of the camera. “Music is what’s important for me,” he says. “I want to put all my energy into it, and I love performing. I wouldn’t want to stay in a studio for six months shooting a movie or television show. I just want to go around the world and perform. That’s what I really like and what makes me happy.” Music is his true calling, and he has no plans to slow down or veer off the rock-star path. It’s not just what makes him happy; it’s what makes him tick. “The fact that I can create feelings is what motivates me,” he says. “I have a feeling and I can catalyze that feeling by creating a melody and lyrics or a guitar riff or something. I love the way that I can create and take all the energy that I have inside and put it out there in a different way through music. It makes me feel so healthy.” If he ever were to act, however, he admits that he’d “want to play the bad guy for a moment.” That might be a stretch for someone who manages to live a relatively quiet life in a city as festive as Miami. It’s unlikely you’ll find Juanes out partying in the clubs until the early morning hours. You’re more likely to catch him on a run or at a low-key dinner. He likes the city for its diversity and its schools, which allow his children to “meet with kids from all different cultures and countries.” Which suggests another place you may spot him: at his kids’ hip-hop dance class or karate match. “I love to see my son taking his karate lessons, because he loves it,” Juanes says. “My girls go to volleyball, so I go to the games. That’s part of what makes me feel like I’m a dad. It makes me feel alive. I love my kids, and I love when I see them happy.” The world may view Juanes as a musical icon—which he is, of course—but in Key Biscayne, he’s also just a regular guy, who checks his kids’ homework and takes them to the park. Despite being the world’s top-selling Spanish-language rock artist (and a past member of Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people on earth), “Here at home, I’m just a father,” he says with a laugh. “I’m just papa.” OD

nightlife with a

Miami has become the epicenter of mixology. Ocean Drive reveals the people, places, and ingredients—both experimental and healthier!—that have shaken and stirred the city’s cocktail culture. by jon warech photography by gary james

twist It’s 9 pm on a FrIday nIght— early by old South Beach standards—and one-man band Lone Wolf is strumming his banjo and seducing the crowd at Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Company with his raspy voice. It’s a sound that pairs perfectly with The Beast of Bourbon, the bar’s take on an Old Fashioned made with Jim Beam Black, spiced rum, coffee, allspice, ango, and orange oil. Couples in booths, friends at the bar, locals and tourists, young and old, from all walks of life, are savoring the moment with a craft cocktail like The Beast of Bourbon, the Old Pal, or Collins Park Sour. At first glance, one could easily forget they’re in South Beach, but anyone in tune with modern-day Miami knows that this scene— with creative craft cocktails in glasses of all shapes and sizes—is the city’s new spirit. “Miami has this ability to make people try new things,” says renowned bartender and Sweet Liberty co-owner John Lermayer. “I think when they land here, the sky is blue, the buildings are white, the people are colorful, the girls are beautiful, and the guy who lives in Chicago who drinks the same Scotch at the same bar

CHEVY FARRELL Hyde Beach Kitchen + Cocktails New to town, one bartender is bringing an old-school vibe to a modern-day hot spot. What are your favorite parts of the Hyde bar menu? The Earl Grey Aviation—it’s a play on an old-school Aviation, which is a gin-based Prohibition-style cocktail. The fun for me was bringing in the Earl Grey tincture and the orgeat almond syrup, instead of doing the traditional crème de violette. Is there a difference between an indoor and an outdoor drink? Our beach bar is geared toward feet in the sand and drink in your hand. Our Tequila Mockingbird is basically a spicy margarita with a little bell pepper. There’s a muddled serrano pepper in it, so that makes it a little spicier. You do a lot of off-menu drinkmaking on the spot. Does that add a twist to the job? I really enjoy doing it on the fly. It’s been nice learning [with the team] and playing off of each other. If somebody says they want a certain spirit, I already have a couple of ideas on how to build something they’ll enjoy. Some of them are willing to try really versatile drinks. What do you recommend when people come to you for a different cocktail? I’ve been a strong advocate of trying to get people back to the way drinking used to be years ago, when people enjoyed a little more complex flavors. I feel like the American palate has definitely gone backwards. What ingredient do you love? My favorite is chartreuse. It’s an important ingredient that’s really old school that people often just don’t understand. It’s a bit of a lost art, but these days, I’m starting to see a resurgence of certain things. 111 S. Surf Road, Hallandale Beach, 954-699-0901; sbe.com

every night after work will come down here and say, ‘Maybe I’ll try some rum.’” The need for new flavor is contagious. What started less than a decade ago with expansive cocktail menus at places like The Florida Room and Sra. Martinez moved to The Broken Shaker and can today be found in bars and restaurants all over town. You can now overlook all of South Beach while hobnobbing with Miami’s elite over a Sexy Berry at Juvia, dance the night away while downing a Calle Ocho Old Fashioned with tobacco bitters at Ball & Chain, enjoy latenight noodles with a Bondi Kelly at Talde, or sip a Kentucky Tulip with Bulleit Bourbon, raspberries, fresh mint, and Luxardo Maraschino at The Corner in a part of downtown usually reserved for all-hours EDM and live nude dancing. “People are drinking better and eating better,” says Lermayer, a pioneer who created the original Florida Room cocktail menu. “Whenever a city starts trending hard in food, usually

drinks follow, and in Miami, you’ve seen what’s happened to the restaurant scene in the past few years.” More important than the drinks being served are the men and women shaking and stirring into the wee hours of the morning. Guys like Lermayer, Gabe Orta and Elad Zvi of Bar Lab, and Julio Cabrera of The Regent Cocktail Club have helped this movement progress by not only mixing incredible drinks, but also training anyone interested in learning. “One of my goals is to keep training the Miami bartender community and continue to develop everything we started eight years ago,” says Cabrera, who curated menus at Ball & Chain and several other bars on Miami Beach. “Miami has its own identity in terms of cocktails—at places that have tropical drinks—but we can mix that with classic cocktail bars and become one of the best cocktail cities in the world.” Miami’s cornucopia of culture lends itself to diverse menus and original drinks. Everyone is from somewhere, and each adds a splash of his or her hometown to every cocktail. That’s why at places like Matador Bar, where the bartenders have an abundance of cocktail knowledge, the staff works together to produce the seasonal menu to accompany its famed cocktails like The Pineapple and Colombiana. The same team effort can be found downtown behind the bar at db Bistro and at The Broken Shaker, one of the leaders in the cocktail community.

BEN POTTS Beaker & Gray An investment bankerturned-bartender now adds bar owner to his résumé with a new Wynwood hot spot. What’s the most experimental cocktail you have? The Inside Outside In that’s been infused with pineapple, anise, and cinnamon. We put it in a vacuum chamber and we infuse it that way rather [than use] the traditional methods. You’ve climbed the ranks at bars around town. What’s different about creating a new menu for a new place? With an opening, you’re starting with a blank slate. I was able to work with a lot of the flavors the chef is using to develop my menu. Where does your inspiration come from? One of my inspirations is Dave Arnold, who is the closest thing we have to a scientist in the cocktail world. That “Strange” section [of the menu, with the Inside Outside In] is essentially inspired by him and his cocktail program at Booker and Dax in New York. You grew up in Miami. Does spending so much time here help with menu creativity? I have friends from all over the world who happen to live in Miami. That inspired a lot of the things that I do. I’m always trying to pull from various cultural influences when I’m thinking about my menu the same way the chef thinks about his. You went to school at Tulane. Did you bring anything from your time in New Orleans to your bar? Just the insane amounts of debauchery. 2637 N. Miami Ave., Miami, 305-699-2637; beakerand gray.com

TEDDY COLLINS Radio Bar, Red Ginger The GM is spicing up South of Fifth at two neighboring locations. What do locals love to drink? People down here like spice. They’re not afraid of a twist on a cocktail that includes a little jalapeño or some sort of hellfire bitters. We also get a lot of snowbirds South of Fifth who have progressive palates, so it pushes us to keep coming up with twists on classic cocktails that maybe no one has ever had before. What’s the process for creating two totally different menus? Radio Bar is a local bar where you can really experiment with all genres of cocktails. Red Ginger is a pan-Asian restaurant, so we focus on small, boutique hard-to-find sakes and extraordinary Japanese whiskeys, while keeping that South of Fifth atmosphere.

Name Your Poison 8 Must-Try Cocktails (with the Best Names) in Miami:

“BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY,” Matador Bar: Grey Goose, blackberry shrub, grapefruit, lemon, sage “BRAZILIAN WAX,” Blackbird Ordinary: LeBlon cachaça, lime, vanilla bean, lemongrass “DUSTY BOTTOMS,” Repour Bar: Casamigos Blanco, Jägermeister, Foro amaro, chocolate bitters served over a frozen grapefruit cube “THE GRADUATE,” Bond Lounge: Don Julio 1942, Solerno blood orange liqueur, lime “A GRANDE PIMM’S CUP,” Marion: Rutte gin, Pimm’s No. 1, fresh lemon juice, homemade lemon verbena syrup “IN LOVE WITH THE COCO,” Coya: Coconut-infused Diplomatico Blanco rum, lime, mint, sugar, lemon soda, toasted josper coconut powder “MIRANDA’S RIGHT,” Talde: Rittenhouse rye, Montenegro amaro, Grand Marnier, chocolate bitters “SALUTE YOUR SHORTS,” Craft Social Club: Avion Reposado tequila, mangoginger shrub, cilantro

“We have all these cultures from South America, the Caribbean, Europe, so you have all these different flavor profiles that you can’t find anywhere else,” says Orta, who opened the city’s first pop-up-bar-turned-mainstay (and number 14 of the World’s 50 Best), Broken Shaker, in 2010. “There are tropical fruits in Miami that come from Brazil, Colombia, or Peru—lulo, maracuja, guanabana—and herbs from the Caribbean, Jamaica, Trinidad. That’s what makes Miami special for cocktails.” But sometimes the creativity that leads to groundbreaking cocktails comes from the simple things in life. The Broken Shaker’s Cocoa Puff Old Fashioned, which is exactly what it sounds like, gets requested outside the 305 and at its Chicago location, where it’s not even on the menu. “We eat and we find all of these flavor profiles in a plate,” says Orta. “One day we were eating Cocoa Puffs, and so we made a Cocoa Puff Old Fashioned. It became a crazy success.” Miami breaking ground in the world of cocktails isn’t new. Cheryl Cook was bartending at The Strand on South Beach in the late ’80s when she felt the urge to create a pretty, new cocktail fit for the then-trendy martini glass. She mixed Absolut Citron, a splash of triple sec, a drop of Rose’s Lime Juice, and “a splash of cranberry to make it pretty in pink,” and the cosmopolitan was born. Of course, once it got into the hands of future Sex and the City costume designers Patricia Field and Rebecca Weinberg, the cosmo went global. “Pat and Rebecca were customers of mine, so they watched me make it,”

What’s the latest trend? Our Radio Mule is the most popular. It’s a twist on a Moscow Mule that adds blueberry and basil flavor into the classic cocktail. People here also love mezcal, so we have a cocktail called Earth Wind and Fire with cucumber, fennel, mezcal, and a little bit of sage. It’s got that wow factor. What are you experimenting with? At Red Ginger, we’re working truffle into our cocktails and yuzu, and we use some unique Japanese sodas. At Radio, we don’t like to repeat a flavor, so we’ve used dragon fruit, passion fruit, fresh watermelon, black peppercorn, mango, and a lot of tropical flavors. We’ve also played around with oysters in our Bloody Marys. Radio Bar, 814 First St., Miami Beach, 305-397-8382; radio southbeach.com; Red Ginger, 736 First St., Miami Beach, 305-433-6876; redginger southbeach.com

Flavors of the Moment From ingredients to ice, everything is changing. Here’s what’s trending right now in Miami. Drink: Every bar in town has its own version of the Old Fashioned, although the Moscow Mule is definitely giving it a run for its money. The standard drink is either bourbon or rye with sugar and bitters, and a twist of citrus, but in Miami you’ll find everything from tobacco bitters to Cocoa Puffs.

Ingredient: The praise for Julio Cabrera is universal, so if he’s using ginger, everyone is using ginger. “You can play with that and make different cocktails,” he says. “It’s one of my signature ingredients.”

Glass: Men used to turn up their nose at certain styles of glassware, but flavor has trumped fashion with the rise of the craft cocktail. A more rounded martini glass hasn’t hurt, either. “It’s becoming cool to be cultured,” says Evan Hawkins of Craft Social Club. “There’s less of a stigma than there used to be.”

Liquor: Less than a decade ago, you couldn’t find mezcal anywhere in Miami, except maybe one bottle behind the bar at The Florida Room. Made from agave like tequila, mezcal is finding its way into cocktails all over town. “If you had told me that I’d be going through dozens of bottles of mezcal a week in South Beach, I would have thought you were crazy,” says Sweet Liberty’s John Lermayer.

Ice: Artisanal ice is everywhere. While you’ll see that big block or sphere of ice in a number of drinks, the crushed ice in cobbler-style drinks (base spirit, sugar, fresh fruit) doesn’t mean there’s less booze. Often you’ll find higherproof alcohol in there.

GUI JAROSCHY Freehand, Bar Lab From The Broken Shaker and 27, the bar director is now bringing his talents to the other side of town. For The Broken Shaker and 27, you grow your own ingredients. We’ve had to learn how to not kill off our entire crop at once, so we’re getting into a lot of jams and preserves and also vinegars and shrubs. That’s been really fun. It’s cool to find ways to spread the love we’re getting from the garden and creating a menu. You’ve used a lot of different ingredients over the years there. What stands out? We’ve done a mustard and beets cocktail. We’ve done a fish-sauce Manhattan— putting that little bit in there to give it that funky twang. Broken Shaker was ground breaking in the Miami cocktail scene. What’s your role with the menu there now? It went from me coming up with it to me becoming more of an editor. I’ll have a drink or two on each menu, and the teams at the respective bars will make up the menu with guidance from me. It’s the way Gabe [Orta] and Elad [Zvi] did it with me in the beginning. It’s a pretty organic thing. You’re also opening the Anderson on 79th. What can people expect? Anderson is in the old Magnum space, which obviously has a lot of history. Now that Tobacco Road is being torn down, it’s actually the longest-running liquor license in Miami. It’s going to be a really cool lounge. We wanted to keep that dark, cozy lounge vibe, but throw in a bit of a party element on the weekend. There’s a tiny building in the parking lot we’re calling The Shack that’s going to have a Jamaican theme, a beach-bar vibe. We’re bringing sand in there. The Broken Shaker, 2727 Indian Creek Dr., Miami Beach, 305-5312727; thefreehand.com

ROB FERRARA The Rum Line, Lure Fishbar The bartender is luring in a new crowd with a bar program that’s giving the town a “rum” for its money. How did The Rum Line come about? There were no good rum bars in Miami [so we made] a place where you can go and get a good sipping rum, sit outside, and smoke a cigar underneath the palm trees while you feel the ocean breeze. What can people expect? The “Old School” menu is Jungle Bird; Swizzle, a hand-shaken piña colada; and Dark & Stormy, where we make our own ginger beer. We have the “New School,” which is our modern take on cocktails, including a drink with kale, cachaça, cucumber juice, and jalapeño. Some of your rum packs a punch. The Zombie 305 has a limit of two per guest because it’s a blend of three different rums, tequila, homemade grenadine, absinthe, lime, and a punch liqueur. It’s very delicious. We also have our Nuclear Daiquiri, which is also limited to two per guest.

RETURN OF THE MOCKTAIL Alcohol? Who needs it? From sober South Beach partygoers to pregnant vacationers, more people are opting for the spiritfree cocktail. At Beaker & Gray, they offer the Manga Salvia (pineapple, sage, pomegranate), Green Gremlin (cucumber, rosemary, tonic), and West Indies Frappe (cold brew, coconut cream, cinnamon). Sugar hangover not excluded...

says Cook, who named the drink after the magazine the maître d’ at The Strand kept in the hostess stand. “I always figured they brought it to Sex and the City the same way I created it—as an accessory.” Following in Cook’s footsteps are mixologists like Virginia King, who runs the beverage program and pours a mean Velvet Swizzle at The Bar at 1306, and Vanessa Husley, who crafts cocktails like the gin-based GQ at Wynwood Diner. They are part of a group of connoisseurs that thrive off a sense of community, help each other grow, and shift the balance of power in the world of cocktails from the tequila shot to something a little more refined. Even the club scene is getting into the game as the ’90s-themed Craft Social Club bridges the gap between traditional lounge and cocktail bar by offering top-of-theline drinks like its Weekend at Bernie’s or ODB (which brings “da ruckus” with a Wu-Tang garnish) made in bulk and kept fresh in a keg in order to be served on tap to quench the partygoers’ need for speed. They also make their own sodas so a traditional vodka soda can be replaced with, say, a vodka and cucumber-limejalapeño soda, and they’re changing the game in table service. “We give people fresh juices, homemade sodas, and a cool garnish tray so you can have a little fun while you have bottle service,” says Craft Social Club Beverage Director Evan Hawkins before making a retro reference of his own. “You can make your own craft cocktails, or the waitress can pour it for you. It’s really like a Choose Your Own Adventure.”

What ingredients are you using? Miami is very big on juicing right now, so I always like to use fresh juices when I make a cocktail. Not just fresh lime and lemon, which is a given, but fresh pineapple or fresh carrot juice, kale, cucumber. Was there a time when you surprised yourself? There’s a drink called Port of Call. I really wanted to use almond milk. It’s light and healthy and has a lot of flavor. It took me four weeks to make it, changing every day. Someone said try adding cinnamon syrup, and it was a home run. That became one of our best-selling cocktails when we first opened. 1601 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-695-0110; therumline.com

Restaurants with a party crowd like STK are going craft with their shots— concocting one-hitters like STK’s tequila-based Raspberry Mama—while other eateries known predominantly for their food are adding complementary seasoning to their bars as well. Macchialina creates complex-flavored drinks by using Italianbased ingredients like amaro, juniper, or speck. The upscale Pao at Faena slides the hard-to-find Filipino San Miguel beer into its High on Life tequila cocktail. And Drunken Dragon makes a whiskey cocktail called Marlee’s Green Tea. Let bartender Zane Hellenga (who adds a black-tea-infused simple syrup) make it for you. There’s synergy now, too. The same Tequila Mockingbird with red bell peppers and muddled serrano pepper that can spice up your night at the Raleigh Miami Beach’s Martini Bar can also be enjoyed beachside at SBE’s sister property Hyde Beach Kitchen + Cocktails in Hallandale Beach. “Eight years ago, people in Miami were drinking Johnnie Walker on the rocks, vodka sodas, and apple martinis,” says Cabrera of the widespread movement. “We had to change the mentality of people. They don’t go to the bar ordering apple martinis or lychee martinis anymore.” Instead customers look for twists on classics and new concoctions that stimulate the senses. The result is a permanent twist on the nightlife experience. The growth in the cocktail industry hasn’t just changed the palate of the local drinker; it’s changed the culture of the community. They’ll all stress fresh ingredients and approachable menus, but at the end of the day, it’s all about good taste. Finally, Miami has some. OD

AS COMMERCE BECOMES INCREASINGLY CUTTHROAT AND PROFITABILITY IS CHAMPIONED AT ANY COST, IS THERE ROOM IN THE ECONOMIC EQUATION FOR KINDNESS, CONSCIENCE, AND HUMANE VALUES? MANY BUSINESS LEADERS ARE PUTTING THEIR HANDS ON THEIR HEARTS AND SAYING YES...

by kathy blackwell

For decades, the boom in new technologies and expanding markets led to massive corporate growth and record profits. But that bottom-line success came at a huge cost to the environment, labor practices, and our treatment of animals, from their mass confinement on factory farms to wildlife trafficking and laboratory testing. As we move deeper into the 21st century, however, a new story is emerging. Those same innovations and advancements are not only bringing more awareness to animal cruelty issues, but they’ve become a force for good in the hands of today’s most innovative corporate leaders and entrepreneurs. Companies like Walmart, Whole Foods Market, and Chipotle Mexican Grill are paving the way by using creative solutions to stop the exploitation of animals, and although these businesses are driven by the belief that it’s the right thing to do, they’re seeing huge financial benefits as well. It’s a simple matter of marrying our values with our behavior, says Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, the country’s largest animal protection organization. In his new book, The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers Are Transforming the Lives of Animals (HarperCollins/William Morrow), a hopeful follow-up to his 2011 best seller, The Bond: Our Kinship With Animals, Our Call to Defend Them, Pacelle explores how innovative entrepreneurs, Fortune 500 CEOs, and scientists are rallying around this social movement and leading us forward by eliminating cruel historic practices. Pacelle recently met with Whole Foods cofounder and co-CEO John Mackey, a pioneer and leader in animal welfare, to talk about this new movement. They spoke about companies they admire, the next practical steps, and exciting predictions for the future.

Is there a sea change under way in how businesses large and small engage with animals? Wayne Pacelle: I see an enormous change at work in our relationship with animals. I started an animal advocacy group when I was in college, and at that point animal protection was a protest movement. When your ideas are viewed as on the margins, it’s easy for people to shunt them aside, to cast them as heretical or radical. Almost 30 years later, they’re at the center of the economy, and we’re really experiencing a period of punctuated change in all sectors of the animal-use economy. We’re seeing big changes in food and agriculture, we’re seeing big changes in science and animal testing, and enormous changes in fashion, wildlife management, entertainment. One reason that I’m happy to be here with John is that he’s been a leader in the corporate world in marrying our values with our commerce. When you disassociate values from business, you get terrible outcomes—things like slavery and child labor and environmental despoliation. This time you not only get better outcomes when businesses have their activities filtered through the lens of a good value system, but now there are great economic opportunities because the values have permeated society, and animal welfare is a universal value. John Mackey: I think values have always been in business. What’s changing is that consciousness is evolving. One hundred years ago, women didn’t have the right to vote; 150 years ago, almost half the United States still had legalized slavery. Our consciousness is evolving in all these different areas where we’re more aware. Part of it’s because, with the Internet and social media, things are much more transparent.

“The exploiTaTion of animals is noT jusT harming animals; iT’s harming us.” —john mackey

The humane economy: how To help More consumers are putting their beliefs about animal welfare into practice, and those choices are driving much of the change in the marketplace. Everyone can make a difference, says Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, who offers these tips: Vote with your dollars: Every time you buy something, you vote for or against animal cruelty with your money. Make conscious choices when buying food, cosmetics, and clothing. And join groups that help animals. Stop wasting food: According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, Americans throw out up to 40 percent of their food (including 22 percent of animal products), despite enormous costs in the form of greenhouse gas emissions, energy input, and food production expenses. We could spare more than a billion animals in the US alone every year just by eliminating food waste. Live as if all life matters: Adopt pets or foster them. Pick up plastic waste on beaches and in parks. The greatest antidote to cruelty is an informed and active citizenry. Influence lawmakers: Contact officials at the local, state, and federal levels about pending animal welfare legislation. humanesociety.org

to see cows grazing and they’d see chickens running around, and now they’re all in these shut-in giant sheds. The public doesn’t see that. Wayne and I have jointly sponsored a documentary film called At the Fork that’s going to raise consciousness. It’s going to have an impact. WP: There are animal documentaries every week that I’m learning about. Look at what Blackfish did with SeaWorld. This was one of the toughest entertainment companies out there. It was able to fend off activist protests for many years, but this single documentary upended that business model for the company. In the wake of that film, I was able to negotiate a landmark deal with the new CEO of SeaWorld and get the company to pledge to end all captive breeding of orcas and sunset its use of these creatures. SeaWorld also committed to a raft of other reforms, including redoubling its commitment to rescue and rehabilitation and joining in our global advocacy campaigns against commercial whale and seal and shark finning. JM: It’s a great example of the thesis that we’re talking about. What Blackfish revealed is the exploitative nature of using animals as entertainment and how these animals are enslaved and abused. And now it has upended the business model, because the public is outraged. WP: If only 15 or 20 percent of people in America are very visibly agitated, they can create a lot of trouble. JM: More like 5 percent, even. So it is evolving very rapidly. We’re living in this revolutionary time where we as a people are becoming more conscious. Diets are changing; the way we relate to animals is changing. Social media in particular makes things move very rapidly. In the food business, I’ve never seen as much change as there is right now, from online delivery to ingredient meals like Blue Apron and Plated to full-meal solutions and food trucks. WP: And we have companies that are innovating, like Hampton Creek, which is providing a plant-based egg substitute that’s hidden in the product. The consumer doesn’t even know the difference. It’s a functional equivalent in terms of the taste and texture. It’s not inconceivable that in 30 or 40 years we can produce meat in a laboratory setting where the meat is an animal product but without the brain or the heart and very little in the way of a moral problem. How do these options become embraced by consumers? WP: You need innovation and entrepreneurs who can develop the product and then market it. But I think you also need time—the ideas take a while to seep in. They marinate in society, and as they do, these things become acceptable. Look at gay marriage. We did a ballot measure in California in 2008 to stop extreme confinement of animals on factory farms. We thought we were going to lose, but we won, and we got more votes than any citizen initiative in American history at the time. On that same ballot, voters in California, which is viewed as among the most progressive of states, passed a ban on gay marriage. So from 2008 to 2016, we’ve seen a complete change on that issue. JM: Society is always evolving simply because old people die and young people come in and reach the majority. Now 80 million millennials are in this society, bigger than boomers. Boomers are retiring, some of them are dying, and so increasingly that millennial generation, which is more interested in the very things we’re talking about, is having a greater and greater influence. WP: If you believe that animals matter, that has practical implications for daily behavior, and once you convince people to align their beliefs with their behavior, that’s when you have a market opportunity. You have companies that can take advantage of that consciousness, like Whole Foods, Hampton Creek, or Cirque du Soleil. Ringling Bros. was one of the fiercest opponents of animal protection, but they gave up their elephants because they did the surveys: The customers didn’t want the elephants traveling to 120 different cities a year, living on chains for 22 hours a day, and they knew that was not something they could invest in while retaining the brand strength of the company, so they changed, which is also why SeaWorld agreed to end any breeding of orcas in order to sunset their use and make the existing whales the last generation at their parks. There are alternative forms of attracting and entertaining crowds. Cirque du Soleil showed that you can have amazing theatrical productions involving human acrobats and feats of incredible physicality, and it’s just so superior. You don’t have any of the moral baggage that comes with orcas or elephants in captive settings. What other changes are happening in entertainment? WP: The film situation is incredible. With computer-generated imagery, we have an incredible revolution that can take the live animals out of the equation but still give viewers a rich and superior experience. When you think of the toughest movie in terms of representing animals, it would probably be Noah. [Director] Darren Aronofsky used CGI to create this incredible animal diversity, and it was vivid and alive and authentic. The Planet of the Apes movies are the high watermark for this. You don’t need to victimize chimpanzees. This is how social change works: You no longer have the movie industry blocking an effort to protect chimpanzees that are endangered in the wild. There was always an exemption because the biomedical people wanted to use chimps in experiments, and

Wayne Pacelle (left) and John Mackey

the movie people wanted to use them, but now we have alternatives to using chimps in laboratories and in the movies. Chimpanzees [are listed as] endangered, and they have a highly protected status now. JM: “Doom and gloomers” are always projecting a problem out into the future, not understanding the continual creativity and innovation part. I get asked a lot by journalists, “What do you think the world’s going to be like in 10 years?” Ten years ago, let’s see: Tesla cars did not exist. If you go back 15 years ago, no one was using an iPod; no one was using a smartphone, and there was no Facebook, there was no Twitter. The point is, there’s continual innovation; there’s continual creativity. That’s basically the ultimate resource: limitless human creativity. We will solve our problems in ways that we can’t even foresee now. WP: We’re solving the problems quicker. JM: That’s partly because we’re so much better connected. Innovations are copied quicker. If Whole Foods did something 20 years ago, it would take years for [it] to show up anywhere else. And now when we do a new store, not only can we copy our own innovations; everybody else does, too. Who is leading this current evolution? WP: One thesis in my book is there’s really an ensemble cast of people who are driving this change. There are entrepreneurs, consumers who are more conscious and alert, scientists who are helping with that, occasionally politicians who show great leadership. You also have

We are in the midst—much closer to the beginning than to the end, I believe—of an epic political, cultural, and economic realignment in the treatment of animals. Doing something about a moral problem requires first identifying it and then intentionally breaking old habits and conventions. Confronting terrible injustices— from slavery and child labor to segregation to gender discrimination—was a painful and necessary part of our American tradition. With the availability of information on the Web, and the transparency it brings, it’s harder now to sidestep these questions. Just as people are shaken from their comfort zone when they realize that a T-shirt from a wellknown clothing company was stitched together in some hellish, overcrowded factory in Bangladesh, more of us are connecting our choices and purchasing practices when it comes to matters of animal cruelty. Exposing abuses goes a long way in prompting sellers to get their supply chains in order, even as it better informs their customer base. Smart businesses want to get ahead of controversy and avoid protests, boycotts, and social-media campaigns that target them. We are seeing transformations in all sectors of the animal-use economy, and we will see many more. Once resolve has set in to change for the better, it’s easier than ever to make it happen. It’s not a matter of sacrifice—just conscious, better choices. Enlarging our vocabulary from “whaling” to “whale watching”

is just one example of an emerging shift in the manner we humans regard animals— whether in the wild, on the farm, in laboratories, or in our homes. The society we have now is different from what it was 25 or 100 or 200 years ago, with revolutionary advances in commerce, banking, currency, energy exploration, global transport, information technology, and computing. How can we not have a commensurate revolution in our treatment of animals? How can we tolerate the misery that comes from whaling, factory farming, trapping, and cruel industries of every kind once we recognize a more vibrant economic path forward, producing jobs that are better to hold, goods that are better to have, and a society in the end that is better to live in, without unlighted places where cruel things are permitted?

huge philanthropy at work. We’re an enormously wealthy society in terms of having a lot of resources out there, and you have billionaires willing to invest in these issues. You’ve got Paul Allen, who is trying to solve problems, and you’ve got titans of capitalism like Carl Icahn who are trying to solve problems. And then you have corporations adapting. They know that they’re going to be roadkill if they don’t adjust to the new realities. JM: I’m pretty wealthy, and one of the things that happens is that you have all your needs taken care of, so then it’s a question of: Do you just pile up money for money’s sake or do you invest that money in ways that help the world to become a better place? WP: David Duffield, who founded PeopleSoft, a Silicon Valley company, committed hundreds of millions of dollars to solving euthanasia in dogs and cats in the late 1990s. He was mocked by a number of people: Why would you put all of that money into that kind of enterprise when we have so many human problems? Now you have philanthropists coming out of the woodwork on these issues. JM: People are beginning to realize that government doesn’t really solve many problems. Instead you have these twin forces: economic business entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs. Whole Foods has started three foundations, and they’ve all been very impactful in a short amount of time. So you’re combining the nonprofit model with the business model, and sometimes these work together. WP: Part of that ensemble cast that I talked about driving the change are animal scientists and ethnologists who are teaching us more about animals. It wasn’t that long ago that the dominant animal-behavior theory was that animals operate just by instinct, that they’re like machines in the wild who are on an endless task of food gathering, mating, predation, and defense. Now we know that animals have feelings, emotions. Elephants have burial rituals; chimpanzees have rituals to honor family members who have passed away. We see incredible problem-solving, from crows to dolphins. Once you see that behavior, you can’t think of them as just this thing or commodity. And I think this increase in understanding animal consciousness layers over this social reform movement. That’s why no industry that’s exploiting animals in a severe way is going to be immune from this movement. One area we haven’t talked about too much is the animal testing issue, [which] can be completely overtaken by different technologies. What do you foresee happening in the near future? JM: I’ll make a prediction: What is building is a scientific consensus around health. Although there’s a very strong vested interest in keeping people ignorant by the dairy industry, cattle and meat industry, and processed food industry, there’s a strong scientific consensus that is building that eating either none or only small quantities of animal foods leads to optimum longevity. The longest-living people that we know of are all plant eaters. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes—they all correlate very strongly with the more animal food you eat. Sometime over the next five to 10 years, I predict you’re going to see a scientific consensus come around—just like it took a long time for science to gather enough data to overthrow the propaganda machine that the tobacco industry was. WP: It takes activists and scientists and all of that together. JM: That’s what’s happening with food now. We have a healthcare crisis in America; we have an obesity crisis. Eighty percent of the healthcare money that we spend, which is bankrupting us, is due to diet and lifestyle. And it’s avoidable. You’re going to see this growing scientific consensus about how to solve our healthcare issues, which will be lifestyle shifts, [which] will correlate well with the humane economy, because it’s very interesting that the thing that will help solve our healthcare crisis and our obesity epidemic is basically living in a more humane fashion and not exploiting animals. The exploitation of the animals is not just harming the animal; it’s harming us. That’s what people don’t understand. WP: Absolutely. I really like the word “humane.” I chose it very intentionally because the root word of “humane” is “human,” and we’re the ones who are creating the problems, so we’re the ones that can solve the problems. John’s point is really important: It just so happens that when we’re better to animals, we have better outcomes throughout society. Companies are going to be more successful when they have a more animalfriendly sensitivity.

In this excerpt from The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers Are Transforming the Lives of Animals, Wayne Pacelle argues that animal welfare is the next great frontier in America’s cultural consciousness.

Fashion Forward One of the biggest changes in the luxury world centers on the use of fur, as more high-end fashion houses embrace cruelty-free alternatives thanks to innovations in technology and sustainability. The fur-free movement took a significant step forward in March, when the humane society of the United states and the Fur Free alliance, a coalition of 40 animal protection groups around the world, announced that the entire armani Group would be going fur-free beginning with the Fall/Winter 2016 collections. “Technological progress made over the years allows us to have valid alternatives at our [disposal] that render the use of cruel practices unnecessary,” says Giorgio Armani, who first met with Wayne Pacelle in Milan in 2009 to discuss his brand’s use of fur. “Pursuing the positive process undertaken long ago, my company is now taking a major step ahead.” Armani joins other leading houses that have turned away from fur, including hugo Boss, which just won the Humane Society’s Henry Spira Corporate Progress Award for its commitment to innovative, animalfriendly materials, and stella McCartney, the first and only luxury brand to be completely vegan, avoiding leathers, skins, and feathers, as well as fur. Other big-name designers to go fur-free include ralph Lauren, Tommy hilfiger, and Calvin Klein—and the ranks are growing.

When completed later this year, Grove at Grand Bay’s (groveatgrand bay.com) twisting 20-story steel-and-glass towers will make more than a design statement. The Terra Group’s Coconut Grove condominium will be the first residential development in Miami-Dade County to receive the US Green Building Council’s Gold Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification, meeting stringent eco-friendly standards. “We create communities for people, with an emphasis on long-term sustainability,” says David Martin, cofounder of Terra Group, which is aiming to reduce the new construction’s environmental impact on the former Grand Bay Hotel site. With a canopy of existing giant fig and gumbo limbo trees, plus 460 new trees and 15,400 plantings on the three-acre site, Grove at Grand Bay “as a whole has a substantially smaller carbon footprint than a typical building of its size,” Martin adds. “This is especially important in South Florida, an area prone to sea-level rise.” continued on page 188

Twenty miles north in Sunny Isles is Jade Signature (jade signature.com), where deep terraces and three-foot concrete slabs create a canopy between units. Insulated double-paned glass provides additional sun protection, tempers noise, saves 30 percent on air-conditioning costs, and is “a major improvement” beyond code requirements, says Edgardo Defortuna, president of Fortune International Group. “People feel like they are doing something for the environment. They are concerned about global warming.” As social and environmental problems such as sea-level rise, overpopulation, and pollution continue to loom, the trend for eco-friendly building is being implemented all over South Florida, in many of the new buildings going up. For example, at SoLe Mia in North Miami (solemiamiami.com), “environmental sustainability and conservancy remain a focal point,” says Michael Tillman, president of Florida Development at LeFrak, which is teaming up with Turnberry Associates on the 183-acre “natural oasis” zoned for 4,390 residences, plus more than 1 million square feet of retail and commercial space. “We searched high and low to supplement the property with eco-friendly amenities,” Tillman says. SoLe Mia’s two swimmable 10-acre Crystal Lagoons will “operate on a closed circuit, preventing water loss, and do not use hundreds of additives and chemical products like standard pools.” Under construction downtown, Centro (centromiami.com), a 352-unit loft-style residential tower, goes green with proximity

to mass transit, a bicycle-lending program, and a designated Parkspot car-share program that provides front-door, reserved parking. In addition, eliminating the garage reduced the building’s carbon footprint, says Harvey Hernandez, chairman and managing director of Newgard Development Group. Inside, designer Yves Béhar’s forward-thinking concept is “visually striking and sustainable through the use of recyclable and regionally sourced materials and energy-efficient lighting, among other eco-conscious elements.” At the eco-luxe 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach (1hotels.com), the house fleet is electric Teslas, the cooling system is energy-efficient, and taps have triple water filters. Living green walls accent the lobby and ballroom; distressed snow fencing stretches across the lobby ceiling. Furnished models among the 29 penthouses evoke a natural luxury, while the 426 guest rooms boast organic linens, Colorado beetle-kill pine headboards, and LED lighting. “We aim to make sustainability approachable and scalable,” says Michael Laas, the hotel condo’s director of impact. “This property was built with resiliency in mind.” At Blvd 57 (blvd57.com), a 105-unit “smart-growth” condominium in Mimo, the Unitas Development Group is “taking every possible measure during the process of choosing materials to be good to the ecology,” says Chief Operating Officer Hector Torres. The finished building will also include a holistic wellness center that will serve as the cornerstone for the project’s 45,000 square feet of retail. “It is about sustainable living and the health and wellness that needs to be created in the habitat.” Green technologies are also finding their way into Miami retail. Drivers cutting through Brickell can’t miss the three-block-long, $30 million steel, fabric, and glass “climate ribbon” running through Brickell City Centre’s (brickellcitycentre.com) open-air shopping area. The sculptural trellis disseminates bay breezes, dispensing with the need for air-conditioning; it also captures and recycles three million gallons of water a year for irrigation at the 9.1-acre retail, entertainment, residential, and hotel complex. Here in Miami, mansions too are going green. The stylish 7,500-square-foot contemporary smart home that David Harper, a principal with HKS Architects (hksinc.com), and his wife, Jennifer, designed and built in Pinecrest two years ago is believed to be the only home of its size in South Florida to achieve LEED Gold certification. “It has a lot of cool features that attempt to expand the array of possibilities for luxury homes,” Harper says. Electricity is generated by a “solar trellis”—solar evacuation tubes heat water in a tower overlooking a 500-acre nature preserve—while architectural details minimize dust and promote clean air quality. Says Harper, who is building a 10,000-square-foot green-energy manse nearby, the sustainable features “are not a distraction but an enhancement.” OD

Head Games ChiCagoans may fantasize about moving to south florida, but for Jaume Plensa’s enormous sCulPture, that dream is Coming true. by marcelle sussman fischler Her name is Awilda. Her expression is thoughtful. Her eyes are closed, as if she were dreaming. Made of resin and marble dust, her 39-foot-tall head—her white face long yet placid, her hair pulled back into a braid—was sculpted by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. For Jorge Pérez, chairman and CEO of the Related Group as well as an avid art collector and local supporter of the arts, it was love at first sight. So this spring, the striking sculpture, titled Looking Into My Dreams, Awilda, is moving from Chicago’s Millennium Park to Miami’s Museum Park (and ultimately to Auberge on Biscayne Boulevard), where it’s sure to galvanize the city’s public-art scene. Ocean Drive spoke with the men about this one-of-akind work and why it’s ideally suited to South Florida.

Looking Into My Dreams, Awilda lived in Chicago’s Millennium Park until this past January; now art connoisseur Jorge Pérez is giving the sculpture a new home, outside Pérez Art Museum Miami.

192 oceandrive.com

What is this big head? Jaume Plensa: Awilda was a girl from the Dominican Republic living in Barcelona. It was a project that originated in Rio de Janeiro, a head rising from Guanabara Bay in front of Sugarloaf Mountain. It was an homage to the sea, to the ocean. Jorge Pérez: It is large and visually imposing, but at the same time it’s a very quiet piece. I first saw it as a part of Jaume’s larger “1004 Portraits” installation in Chicago’s Millennium Park in 2014. I had seen it in pictures, but you can only comprehend the real scale and magnitude of the piece when you see it in person. What was your first impression? Pérez: Awe, certainly. Jaume, how did you conceive and create the sculpture? Plensa: I do a model to understand the shape. By computer, we create the enlargement of the piece, then we make the molds. From the molds, we cast in resin, marble dust every section, and create a metal structure inside to hold it up. A piece like that takes almost one year to be done. It weighs more than a ton. What does the sculpture symbolize? Plensa: We are surrounded by cities and landscapes, but we have so much inside each of us. The intention is to have us think about it. When the visitor is in front of the piece, it becomes a mirror. They can imagine all the beauty they are feeling inside themselves. The head is a container. In that container, you can put all your dreams and ambitions. The message is that the head is the power of our dreams. Pérez: I love that it memorializes the humanity in every individual. Where does Awilda fit into Miami’s booming public-art scene? Pérez: As soon as I saw Looking Into My Dreams, Awilda, I knew the piece belonged in Miami. Major public exhibitions go a long way to identify cities as important cultural destinations, and that is exactly what we’re trying to achieve. Whenever my team and I attend art fairs, biennials, and other events, we are looking not only for pieces that speak to us on an emotional level, but those that have the power to help in our city’s growth and evolution. Awilda was exactly that. Plensa: For Awilda, Miami is the perfect place to live. Water is the main public space in the world. Miami in that way is perfect: It is completely open to the ocean. Where will Awilda be placed? Pérez: The piece will be installed near the

water, and very close to [Pérez Art Museum Miami]. It will be on loan at Museum Park for some time before we place it [at Auberge] on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami. How will it enhance the museum’s collection? Pérez: In addition to PAMM’s building, we always envisioned the museum with a sculpture park around the museum’s perimeter and extending out into the adjacent Museum Park. Looking Into My Dreams, Awilda will become an iconic piece for the museum in this regard. OD

Hospitality Heaven As the MiAMi hotel industry continues to grow exponentiAlly, two locAl experts weigh in on whAt to expect in the coMing yeArs. by katie jackson

Miami has remained a prime vacation destination for a variety of reasons: snowbirds escaping harsh winters, families taking off for a week in the South Beach sun, and glamorous jet-setters partying at posh nightclubs. Miami has played host to millions of visitors throughout the decades, but with the development of surrounding neighborhoods, including downtown, Brickell, Wynwood, and the Design District, coupled with the city’s flourishing cultural and culinary scene, an inevitable boom in Miami’s hotel industry has erupted. More than 2,500 new hotel rooms were built in 2015 alone, with thousands more expected to be developed in the upcoming years. Here, Wendy Kallergis, president of the Greater Miami & The Beaches Hotel Association, and Lester Scott, managing director of the Carillon Miami Beach, discuss the present—and promising future—of Miami’s hospitality industry. Lester Scott: Ten or 15 years ago, Miami banked on that South Beach demographic, but now it’s

evolved. The same customer who was going there 10 years ago is now looking for a more exclusive, higher-end destination and setting. Wendy Kallergis: We definitely have a lot more international visitors than we’ve ever had—Brazil is still number one, Canada is number two, Colombia is number three, and I think Argentina is number four. The industry has grown so much across Miami-Dade County. You have a lot of families, a lot of millennials. I actually find that when it comes to age and the demographics, there’s a good mix now because there are so many different places to stay.

And the MDM project [a mixed-use retail, residential, and entertainment complex], along with the Brightline train, is going to help the area of Overtown, which is very underserved. LS: The [health and wellness] industry is making a big impact, too, and it’s going to become even bigger. It’s a shift that we as a nation are taking, and hotels are starting to wake up and recognize that. Even smaller hotels and boutique hotels are starting to have specialty menus geared toward health and diet. That’s what will make [the Carillon] different; it was originally built for that. The Carillon is extremely fortunate to have the footprint that we have, to be able to have 70,000 square feet of health and wellness space that allows us to really capitalize on that. We have 45 different fitness classes a day. We focus on mental health here as well. We do yoga and we do a lot of lectures that talk about lifestyle and choices. WK: Sustainability is also really important.

Beach nourishment, water conservation, those are the kinds of things [where] our industry—and all of Miami—really is going to be at the forefront. LS: We’re going through a $25 million renovation through 2016. A lot of people don’t see anything wrong with the property, and neither do I, but we want to recapture the hotel in its glory days. WK: There’s so much growth [in Miami]. About 5,000-plus rooms over the next two or three years will be added! LS: Miami is one of the most exciting cities and one of the most sought-after international cities in the world. I think that we’ll continue to grow. We’re that adaptable, we’re quick, we’re nimble. I think we’re just scratching the surface.

Among the luxury residential projects giving the Grove a kick in the class is the Terra Group/Related Group joint venture Park Grove, a 260-unit, three-tower development with residences priced from $2 million and an Enzo Enea-designed sculpture park and a restaurant by Michael Schwartz among its amenities. “Park Grove is the missing piece that will not only fill that void for needed ultra-high-end luxury condos but also fuse CocoWalk and other retail sectors,” says Dan Hechtkopf, director of luxury sales at Douglas Elliman, of the project, set for completion near the end of 2017.

Shopping complex CocoWalk will inevitably get a face-lift as well after its May 2015 purchase by Federal Realty Investment Trust, Grass River Property, and the Comras Company. A tourist stop for years, CocoWalk will welcome a new crop of tenants that cater more toward local needs. “The Grove was always a place where cool people lived, and others enjoyed coming here and seeing the hippies,” says Grove resident David Collins, who spent eight-plus years on both the Coconut Grove Village Council and as executive director of the Business Improvement District. “In terms of the merchants in Coconut Grove, the condo towers that are going up, it means continued on page 198

Down to Earth DESIGNER PEPE CALDERIN USES RECYCLED MATERIALS FOR EVERYTHING FROM INTERIORS TO ARTWORK. BY CHARLYNE VARKONYI SCHAUB In recent years, people have become more environmentally aware—recycling at home and giving preference to consumer goods made out of ecofriendly and sustainable materials. “I recycle everything in my home,” says Miami- and New York-based interior designer Pepe Calderin, who just won four awards from the American Society of Interior Designers for his residential work. Calderin designed the lobby, first-floor hallway, and outdoor terraces for Il Villaggio on Ocean Drive; the lobby for the Continuum South Beach; and a Palazzo Del Mare residence on Fisher Island. A few of his current residential projects include homes over 10,000 square feet in North Bay Village, Golden Beach, and Boca Raton. “I find beauty in nature,” says Calderin, whose office includes a bench from a fallen tree; for clients, he is also designing two dining tables from fallen tree trunks from Colombia. “Letting things go to waste and not using them is like throwing away that beauty.” Pepe Calderin Design, 7245 NE Fourth Ave., Unit 104, Miami, 305-757-5535; pepecalderindesign.com OD

A STYLISH NEW EXPRESS TRAIN WILL LINK FLORIDA’S MAJOR HUBS. BY JEAN NAYAR Travelers in Florida will soon have a swift new way to get to many of the state’s urban hubs, when All Aboard Florida’s Brightline express trains begin serving the 235-mile route from Miami to Orlando, cutting total travel time by about an hour. And passengers will be moving in unprecedented style, thanks to the trains’ bright red, pink, orange, blue, and green interiors, designed by LAB, the innovative studio of awardwinning hospitality guru David Rockwell. Four LEEDcertified stations—in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando—will also reflect the trains’ friendly, spirited designs, and the $3 billion project is expected to remove millions of vehicles from the road, improving the state’s environment. Look for service between Miami and West Palm Beach to begin in mid-2017. gobrightline.com

Monasterio. He developed new techniques in both aesthetics and craniofacial surgery early in his career. He followed his fellowship spending individualized time with the worlds masters in Western Europe, Central and South America before returning home to Miami to develop what has become his brand: individualized, aesthetically tuned and artful interventions. When asked why there are so many of these strange faces around, Dr. Maercks replies “its all about the money.” “Most practitioners rely on marketing and social networking to develop a name and try to run a business. They may or may not be well trained but most practitioners out there have never really taken time to reflect on or understand aesthetics.”

Plastic Surgery, About Face! In a time when we see the most disastrous looking faces and bodies on celebrities, the wealthy and social elite, a new direction and art is being forged by one of the newest faces of excellence in Miami. Glance through the social photography in society magazines of Miami, Los Angeles and New York or just turn on the television and you may find unnatural distorted and age indeterminate faces and bodies. Well, about face, the polar opposite is being artfully delivered at one of the most elite plastic surgery practices in America.

Dr. Maercks’ interventions are incredibly disparate from mainstream procedures. He has basically created a new language with which to communicate with patients. ‘Aesthetic Facial Balancing’ is what Maercks calls his technique for volumetric restoration of the face. This means that with either hyaluronic acid or the body’s own natural fat, Dr. Maercks uses his artistic insights to create shapes and patterns that are immediately recognized by the perceiver’s brain as beautiful, young and happy. Do not go to the Maercks Institute and ask for a naso-labial fold fill or a lip plump up unless you want to hear a deconstruction of aesthetics and current concepts and an education on facial subunits and the psychophysiology of perception. No joke, this fine artist turned philosopher turned plastic surgeon is proud of both his concepts and results, rightfully so. Patients who receive Maercks’ Aesthetic Facial Balancing look untouched and completely natural, sometimes spouses are left wondering why their partner has such a glow and appears well rested and happy. What is the secret? “Observation, judgement, aesthetic understanding and respect for nuance, even the tiniest” Maercks replies.

At The Maercks Institute, Dr. Maercks provides full spectrum face breast and body care from noninvasive energy “Patients who receive Maercks’ interventions to facelifts breast lift and augmentation. He Aesthetic Facial Balancing is also becoming the go to name for revising unaesthetic look untouched and completely breast augmentations with his devastatingly beautiful ColdSubfascial™ breast augmentations and revisions that often natural, sometimes spouses are appear more natural than the patients original untouched left wondering why their partner form. What’s missing at the Maercks Institute? That’s easy- there is no marketing of heavily advertised products has such a glow and appears or devices, most of which Dr. Maercks will explain should well rested and happy.” be avoided at all cost. There is no nurse consultant guiding you through surgical options and no para-practitioners delivering care. With Dr. Maercks patients simply get the undivided attention Dr. Maercks had the distinguished honor of being the last fellow to receive of an incredible physician with both the talent and dedication to make his mentorship from the great and now late, Fernando Ortiz-Monasterio. Dr. patients shine. Ortiz-Monasterio was one of the fathers of modern craniofacial surgery and aesthetics. The thoughts and ideals of the great FOM, as he is affectionately Dr. Rian A. Maercks offers limited private consultations at The Maercks Institute, 4500 called, are carried on in the art that Dr. Maercks has developed. Maercks’ Biscayne Boulevard Suite 104, in Miami’s beautiful Design District by appointment hunger for elite skills and training began long before his time with Ortiz- only. For scheduling contact (305) 328-8256 or Dr.Rian@RianMaercksMD.com. Dr. Rian A. Maercks, the founder and sole practitioner of The Maercks Institute Miami, is turning things around for those lucky enough to know about his work. Maercks, a Miami native, sought out the best experience and training internationally and stateside to return with a novel concept of plastic surgery that is foreign to most interventions and practices today. “From the instant I opened my first office I knew the practice would be about the individual patient and everything had to be art.” Unfortunately the role of aesthetics, artistry and a doctorly role have little place in todays “fast-food plastic surgery” world.

Dr. Maercks conducts exclusive private consultations at The Maercks Institute located just outside of Miami’s bustling Design District. Scheduling can be arranged by contacting through www.RianMaercksMD.com or calling (305) 328-8256.

PARTING SHOT Unzipped

Sea to Shining Sea SOME SAY THE WEST COAST IS THE BEST COAST, BUT MIAMI ALWAYS BRINGS THE HEAT. BY JON WARECH

Rush hour starts at noon and ends at midnight, and don’t even bother getting on the highway (unless you’re driving a white Ford Bronco). Hot spots like Bootsy Bellows (RIGHT) and Blind Dragon may pack the house with cool kids, but bedtime comes early as everything closes at 2 AM. Everybody rents in LA, unless you live in the Valley… or someone’s pool house. Soho House West Hollywood is the chic, trendy hot spot where you’ll find celebrities and stiff cocktails. Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is running The Apprentice.

Films like L.A. Story, Swingers, and Entourage focus on the sunny weather, the eternal traffic, and the Hollywood struggle.

The Lakers have Jack Nicholson sitting courtside and a Shaquille O’Neal statue going up outside the arena next season. Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood sign, and the Walk of Fame. A slow hike up Runyon Canyon or a trek up the Santa Monica Stairs looking for celebrities. High-end retail on Rodeo Drive makes for an expensive afternoon.

33130 Miami

People start complaining about traffic at noon and don’t bother getting on the highway unless they can afford the $10 SunPass lane. Clubs like LIV (LEFT), Story, Wall, and Rockwell don’t even hit their stride until 2 AM, and at the 24/7 destination E11even, there is no such thing as bedtime.

Lots of zeros and commas. Soho Beach House (RIGHT) is the chic, trendy hot spot where you’ll find celebrities and stiff cocktails… as well as two pools, a private beachfront, a gym, a spa, and a hotel. Former Governor Jeb Bush and Senator Marco Rubio made waves running for president of the United States. Films like Scarface, Cocaine Cowboys, and Bad Boys focus on the shady characters, the eternal con, and the Miami smuggle. The Heat have DJ Khaled Snapchatting courtside and a Shaquille O’Neal retired jersey going up inside the arena next season. Vizcaya, the Coppertone sign, and the daily South Beach walk of shame.

Jay Z and DJ Khaled at a Heat game.

Relaxing on the beach or lounging on a yacht looking for tranquility.

High-end retail in the Design District, Bal Harbour, and Aventura makes for an expensive life.
