Lights, Camera, Fashion! this month’s MiaMi Fashion FilM Festival offers a behind-theseams look at the design industry.

Couture meets the silver screen when the fourth annual Miami Fashion Film Festival (MIAFFF) kicks off on September 20. The films will offer an insider’s look at the fashion industry both locally and internationally, with documentaries like Yarn: The Movie, about the artists redefining knitting culture starting in Iceland, and the Christopher Rapalo-directed Retro Couture, a local flick on some of Miami’s top trendsetters. Since its debut in 2013, MIAFFF has evolved with a new clutch of partnerships, including one with Bloomingdale’s, which will host a pre-fest bash at its Aventura location on September 10. Says Grace M. Castro, founder and director of programming, “I think with the understanding of what fashion film is and the popularity around it, the quality of films has definitely gotten better.” This year, the festival will also raise funds for Miami’s Fashion Discovery Project, a mentoring program for young women interested in the industry. “For us, that’s sort of our prize,” says Castro. “In addition to bringing attention to these great filmmakers and fashion films, we’re raising money for this project.” Miami Beach Cinematheque, 1130 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, 305-673-4567; miafff.com

Front runner The quartet of Cuban dancers at El Tucán, including Giselle Nunez Santana (pictured), puts on a show to behold. “We looked at a lot of dancers, and no one moves like Cubans,” admits Creative Director Emilia Menocal. “When it came down to the picking, it was a coincidence that they were all from Havana.”

performance of the evening. While this performance happens three times a week, Thursday through Saturday, “every show is wholly unique,” says El Tucán’s creative director, Emilia Menocal. That’s because this quartet of classically trained dancers, hailing from Havana, are entertainingly unpredictable and

mesmerizing to watch as they perform every song and dance of El Tucán’s Act Two (what Menocal refers to as “a potpourri of cabaret from around the world”). Sublime footwork, fanciful shaking of the hips, and five jaw-dropping outfit changes are signatures of the aptly named Tucánettes, who are backed by the 11-piece

Tucán Band, curated by two-time Grammy Award winner Marlow Rosado. Each performance takes the dancers from tribal creatures unleashing their primal spirits in tandem with Afro-Cuban beats to sequined and feathered goddesses bringing Cuba’s Tropicana Club of the 1940s and historic Las Diosas de Carne (translation:

showgirls) to modern life. It’s musical theater that went on to be replicated in Paris, Berlin, New York, Las Vegas, and now the Magic City. “Showgirls are—and have always been—the heartbeat of any cabaret,” says Menocal. “Girls sell; they make things sexy.” 1111 SW First Ave., Miami, 305-535-0065; eltucanmiami.com

LETTER From THE EDITor-IN-CHIEF

Honored to have celebrated Gabby’s cover with them at the Nautilus, a Sixty Hotel; fêting Ocean Drive’s annual Art of the City Issue with Courtland Lantaff and featured artist Peter Tunney at Wynwood Walls.

for quite a treat this September. The Miami Dolphins debut their $400 million stadium renovation with what hopefully proves to be a playoff season, while acts from Maroon 5 to Puff Daddy to Brian Wilson echo through the soundscapes. Two of my favorite local restaurants, Plant Food + Wine and Quinto La Huella, are featured prominently—everyone’s talking about them. And what’s September without a highly anticipated fall TV season, which is why CBS’s Scorpion star Katharine McPhee lands on our coveted Fall Fashion cover. Fall is a great time to be here, no doubt. While the rest of the country sees skies graying, leaves turning brown, and sweaters coming out of the drawers, we seamlessly transition right out of summer into more great weather and greater times. Looks like those international buyers are on to something…

Celebrating our July/August Swim cover with Hannah Ferguson at the Delano South Beach.

Having recently spent a week abroad in London, I often got the same response from the locals when I told them I was from Miami— “Wow! I have always dreamed of living there!” Even in one of the cultural, culinary, and financial capitals of the world, the verdict is in: Miami is the place to be. And they are right. According to a recent US Census, some 65 percent of people who moved to South Florida in the last half decade have come from other countries, and Miami remains the most searched US destination by international consumers on Realtor.com. You need not look much further than Ocean Drive to see the trend of international and domestic transplants who “live where you vacation.” From the king of rosé wines, Whispering Angel guru Sacha Lichine, who now calls South Florida home, to the National YoungArts CEO, Carolina García Jayaram, who just touched down here from Chicago, I can imagine what it’s like to Google “live in Miami” from destinations afar. However, that dream—for many, obviously—is becoming a reality. Those living or visiting here are in

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

As Miami’s endless summer weather continues to sizzle, our social season is heating up with the arrival of fall and yet another wave of high-wattage events, star-studded soirées, and hotly anticipated grand openings. It’s been truly thrilling to witness the numerous developments taking place in our very own Magic City. From new restaurants helmed by awardwinning and nationally recognized chefs to the hotel boom and the astounding growth of our arts and culture and our fashion industry, Miami has become a destination revered for more than just its sandy beaches and waterfront oases. As our trendy metropolis continues to expand, our sense of style has exploded with it, taking Miami fall fashion to

luxurious new heights. With high-end clothing retailers and boutiques sprouting up on almost every corner (including the hip labels found in Wynwood and outposts of the world’s top fashion houses located in the Design District, Bal Harbour Shops, and the soon-to-open Brickell City Centre), Miami is home to some of the most dashing designs coveted by fashionistas and style aficionados. Speaking of fashionistas, we’re thrilled to feature style icon Katharine McPhee on our cover. In this issue, we catch up with the singer and actress, who’s had us hooked since she debuted her exceptional talents on American Idol back in 2005. I hope to see you around town…

A Miami native, Justin Namon majored in fine art at the University of Miami. In 2013, he cofounded Ra-Haus Fotografie with his wife, Elizabeth Renfrow. Together they have a combined 20-plus years of experience with a passion and eternal love for the 305. Namon photographed the president and CEO of One World Properties, Peggy Fucci, for “Real Deal.” What was special about your shoot with Peggy Fucci? The location was very unique for Miami, with sweeping views of the Design District and downtown all the way to the mansions on Bay Road in Miami Beach. It was an ideal Miami morning in an ideal spot. Where is your favorite place to shoot in Miami? You can find me where the ocean meets the mangroves.

Photographer Vanessa Rogers obtained her formal training at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and the School of Visual Arts. With a portfolio that includes travel, lifestyle, food, and fashion, her work has been published in Time, Porter, Shape, and Women’s Wear Daily, among other publications. For this issue of Ocean Drive, Rogers photographed Karla Dascal, cofounder of the Sacred Space Miami. What was it like working with Karla Dascal? With Karla, you realize right away a sense of presence. The Sacred Space is chock-full of beautiful vignettes. The challenge was deciding which locations to use in our time together. What do you love about shooting in Miami? The richness of the colors in our natural environment, which was testament in these portraits of Karla.

Ocean Drive’s arts editor, Brett Sokol has also covered the city for The New York Times, New York magazine, and Slate. Here, he discovers the bizarre inspiration behind Carl Hiaasen’s new book, Razor Girl, and gives a glimpse into this season’s most buzz-worthy art debuts. How has Carl Hiaasen’s outlook on South Florida changed over the years? The one constant with Hiaasen is his ability to find fresh sources of outrage in our backyard—and to find no less inventive ways to laugh at them in his writing. Which is a good thing for all concerned, since he admits, only half-jokingly, that his novels are as much self-therapy as they’re meant for an audience. How would you describe the current art scene in Miami? After a long summer lull, the scene lurches to life. Heavy-hitter collectors wing back into town, gallery owners begin frantically nudging their artists for fresh work, and everyone starts buzzing about Art Basel.

Miami-based writer Jon Warech has covered entertainment and pop culture for US Weekly and AOL’s mandatory.com. His work has also appeared in the New York Daily News, Vibe, The Miami Herald, and ESPN the Magazine, among others. In this issue, Warech interviews local fashion designers, the king of rosé Sacha Lichine, television host Dave Aizer, and others making a splash in Miami. You wrote multiple pieces for this issue of Ocean Drive. Was there a common theme? People are doing so much on a national scale from right here in Miami. Between the impact that YoungArts has and the fashion businesses started in this city, Miami has really become a place to make things happen in many creative fields. Your ideal night out in Miami includes… Dinner at NaiYaRa followed by drinks at The Cabaret at The National Hotel, then off to Bodega or Sweet Liberty, where I pretend I’m not the oldest guy in the room.

WITH GIGI HADID FRONTING ITS NEW CAMPAIGN AND A FALL COLLECTION THAT MIXES PLAYFULNESS WITH ELEGANCE, MAX MARA IS SIZZLING! BY BETSY PERRY

In one sense, Max Mara’s Fall/ Winter 2016 collection is all about the coat. The reintroduction of the Italian house’s legendary 101801 camel cashmere topcoat—a decadeslong emblem of swagger, Hollywood glam, and royalty— is a fitting gift from the brand to itself on its 65th birthday. (The coat’s other two available colors—ever-chic black and a lush, soft oatmeal—might rightly be considered Max Mara’s gift to us.) In another sense, though, the collection is all about an up-and-coming coterie of new shoppers. Youthful touches abound in punchy colors, stripes, and geometrics; goofy, textured coats worn with shiny gold; and white, yellow, and red high-heeled oxfords. But the brand’s trademark elegance is likewise apparent in six new styles from the Max Mara Tailored Suit Project Collection and matching skirts, trousers, or dresses in easy coordinating colors of blues, beiges, and grays, as well as eye-popping yellow, red, orange, and fuchsia. With both a loyal, longtime client base and a PYT gaggle of new fans, Max Mara’s creative director, Ian Griffiths, blends youthfulness and timeliness into one harmonious and elegant aesthetic.

Max-imum impact! Maria Giulia Maramotti (TOP RIGHT), director of retail for North America, has moved Max Mara in a fresher direction that was very much on display at the Fall 2016 show in Milan (REST OF PAGE).

OCEANDRIVE.COM

Max Mara’s muchcoveted 101801 topcoat has continually inspired photographers. clockwise from top left: Valery Katsuba’s Bolshoi Ballet–themed series from 2011; Roxanne Lowit’s portrait of Alba Clemente from the brand’s archives; Steven Meisel’s current campaign with Gigi Hadid; Max Mara’s new JBag shopper ($1,445).

“Max Mara is a ‘warM’ brand—not a ‘hot’ brand. this is what Makes us so successful.”—maria giulia maramotti

While the company is known for keeping core customers happy with classic styles, Maria Giulia Maramotti, the granddaughter of the company’s founder, has brought a discerning eye to her role as director of retail for North America. Overseeing and strategizing the retail business for their 17 stateside boutiques, Maramotti has to make sure the collections are relevant. “With every new collection, the classic style will always be present, but given the contemporary climate, our collections are becoming more experimental and playful, which reenergizes the brand,” says Maramotti. “I like to think of Max Mara as a ‘warm’ brand—not a ‘hot’ brand—and I think this is what makes us so successful right now.” Part of this “warming” trend includes the choice of Gigi Hadid as the face of Max Mara’s latest accessories campaign, which introduced the JBag shopper—a more contemporary bag than the elegant but structured Whitney bag, which debuted this spring on the first anniversary of New York City’s new Whitney Museum—and one that skews slouchy, rich, and young. Between the reintroduction of the 101801 coat, an emblematic symbol of its heritage, and the introduction of the JBag with Gigi, representative of its future, Max Mara organically continues to stay elegant but fresh. As Maramotti says, “For me, pairing the 101801 coat with tailored trousers and sneakers is a superchic and timeless look.” A match made in Max!

Ready, Set, eau! Michael ors’s new fragrance, wonderlust, was meant to travel.

Pack your bags—but not before a spritz of Wonderlust, the latest fragrance from Michael Kors, an eau de parfum for the internationally minded, made from a global bouquet of ingredients: fresh Italian bergamot, creamy almond milk, heliotrope, and sandalwood from Sri Lanka. Here the designer (and man of the world) extols travel and praises supermodel Lily Aldridge, the face of a scintillating new ad campaign. What is it about jet-setting that inspires you? Whether you’re jumping on a plane or walking down a street you’ve never walked on before in your hometown, it’s this sense of discovery that I think makes people feel energized and excited. What sets this fragrance

apart from your others? I’ve never done anything with a gourmand touch. I don’t like the idea of a fragrance that smells edible, but then we smelled the final blend and I realized that the gourmand could be really refined when you took something like almond milk, you mixed it with the bergamot, and then you have that pepper in there. I said, “Eureka!” Why did you choose Lily Aldridge for this campaign? She’s obviously very beautiful—but beauty’s not enough. She’s also up for anything, loves to travel, knows music, and is a great mom. I really love that she’s got so many aspects to her personality! Macy’s, Dadeland Mall, 7535 N.

WHO BELIEVES IN GUCCIGHOST? Imagine the scene: The word REAL is scrawled in yellow paint on a black Gucci bag. A red coat is emblazoned with two G’s back to back under a diamond rendering. If it looks as though a phantom street artist has passed through Gucci’s Fall 2016 collection with brush in hand, that’s because he has. Skateboarder/snowboarder-turnedartist/musician Trevor Andrew, aka GucciGhost, first came up with the idea behind his street-art persona three years ago, when he took a prized set of Gucci sheets and cut out eyeholes for a last-minute Halloween costume. Ever since, he’s adopted the house’s double-G logo and painted it all over New York—bathroom walls, trash cans, you name it. “I just thought it was dope,” says Andrew of the famed Italian fashion house. It wasn’t long before GucciGhost caught the attention of Gucci itself. Suddenly, Andrew found himself being flown to Rome to collaborate on the Fall 2016 collection with the label’s creative director, Alessandro Michele. “He never once told me what to do,” says Andrew. “He doesn’t operate out of fear.” The result is a collection with a decidedly street feel, including a logo midi skirt that brings to mind those “original” GucciGhost sheets. For Andrew, it feels like manifest destiny. “I felt it was going to come to Gucci’s attention,” he recalls. “That was my whole mission. I believed in it so much that I made it real.” Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-868-6504; gucci.com

Gone are the days of simple swimwear. This year, intricately designed pieces and sexy silhouettes were on everyone’s radar (and Snapchat stories). Swim supermodels Paige Watkins and Joy Corrigan strutted down the Indah Clothing (indah clothing.com) runway in the Bali-based label’s Casa collection, which included neutral-toned bikinis with racy accent straps and one-pieces with plunging necklines. Boho-chic beachwear Frankies Bikinis’ (frankiesbikinis.com) latest and greatest consisted of wrap bikini tops and braided detailing, while Anna Kosturova (anna kosturova.com) went cutting-edge with mesh high-neck halter tops and handmade crochet cover-ups. Though not ideal for tan lines, it’s pure photo gold. ITTY-BITTY

When it comes to swimwear, less is always more. Designer Alexandra Grief of the celeb-adored Montce Swim (915 NE 20th Ave., Fort Lauderdale, 954-440-2522; montce.com) debuted the latest renditions of her trademark barely-there bottoms alongside Trina Turk (7200 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 786-409-4383; trinaturk.com) and iShine365 (7292 NW First Ct., Miami, 305-756-2005; ishine365.com) at the annual Style Saves Swim fashion show fundraiser. Kaohs (kaohs.com) models scorched the runway in the Swim Week first-timer’s ultra-sexy ’90s-inspired collection, designed for the active girl who dares to bare. FLIRTY AND FEMME

This year reconfirmed our love for posh-meets-playful designs. Beloved brand For Love & Lemons (forloveandlemons.com) showcased its first (and already highly coveted) French Riviera-inspired swimwear collection, which included lacy details on bralette tops and high-waisted bottoms. Luxe label Heidi Klein (heidiklein.com) revealed ruched bandeau one- and two-pieces and scalloped bikinis in crystal blue and stark white, while Kai Lani’s (kailaniswimwear.com) Free Bird collection, featuring soft ruffled details, flowed like an ocean wave.

Maggie Rawlins had a plan. After finishing nursing school, the South Carolina native worked in hematology and oncology at a local hospital. At age 23, she was following her intended path—that is, until a friend submitted photos of her to a talent manager. A week later, Rawlins was signed with Wilhelmina and on her way to stardom. “My [hospital] manager was wonderful and said, ‘Give it a couple of months, and if you end up loving it, you can come back in two years, 20 years, whenever,’” Rawlins says. “If she hadn’t told me to go, I wouldn’t have gone, because I worked so hard for that degree. I’m super grateful to her.” Since signing last October, she’s worked with swimsuit company iShine365, Wildfox, and Beach Bunny, and traveled to Sweden, France, and Germany for catalog work. “Six months ago, I was putting in catheters,” says Rawlins, who is also in school to keep her nursing license. “Nurses work 12 hours on the floor, taking care of other people, running around like crazy,” she says. “Then you come here and you don’t sit down for 10 or 12 hours at this job, either—and here, you’re in heels!”

FLORIDA AND MIAMI IS WITHIN ME.” —DANIEL

WINGATE

BY KATIE JACKSON

For as long as he can remember, Daniel Wingate has felt the desire to create. To pursue his dream of becoming a fashion designer, he journeyed from his hometown of Tallahassee to the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York City and to jobs with J.Crew and Hugo Boss before joining Escada as a senior designer. Now its fashion director, Wingate has breathed new life into the luxury label, revamping and revitalizing the collections to appeal to a younger audience while remaining true to the house’s heritage. Case in point: the Fall 2016 ready-to-wear collection, which represents a fresh take on earlier styles. In preparing the line, Wingate sifted through the 500-piece archive at Escada headquarters in Munich, an exercise that brought on pangs of nostalgia. “I fell in love with so many details and styles from the now-38-year history of the brand,” he says. “I knew I had to somehow incorporate them into the current collections.” Although Munich has become Wingate’s second home, it’s his native state—especially Miami— that he truly loves. “The city is so alive,” he says. “I am blown away by how chic the women are, how sexy they look, and how they love to dress up. I love the beach, the colors, the weather, and the beautiful people. The spirit of Florida and Miami is within me.” Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-867-9283; us.escada.com

These “must attend” gatherings to add to your fall calendar combine fashion and philanthropy into two not-to-be-missed events. By Becky Randel

Perhaps no time of year speaks to taking in fashion’s newest styles more than fall. Neiman Marcus Coral Gables’ annual fall event, The Art of Fashion, held this year on Wednesday, September 7, has been leading the way for South Florida trendsetters to check out what’s on tap for the upcoming season while simultaneously giving back to the community. Throughout the evening, 500 of Miami’s swankiest fashionistas sip cocktails and shop the latest trends as they

indulge in local bites and beauty touch-up stations. Laguna House, the classic Mediterranean residences opening in the heart of Merrick Park, will also be on hand to offer a preview of their exciting new project. Partners such as PAMM, United Way, and Baptist Health all receive a portion of the evening’s proceeds. The following night, a group of female, secondgeneration Miami power players take the philanthropic lead when the Young Society of Love and Hope

hosts its annual Haute Tea event. This year, Jillian Posner will be passing on her chairperson role to Stacy Gibb and Lauren Geduld, who will serve tea and present high fashion, all in the name of juvenile diabetes research. “My family has been involved in this charity for over 20 years,” says Gibb, whose in-laws, Linda and Barry Gibb, are the international chairs of the Love & Hope Ball. “There is something so fun about a bunch of women coming together, in their crazy hats and different

themed outfits, for a great cause.” Lynn Martinez from Deco Drive will emcee the event, which includes a Champagne lunch, live auction, and a fashion presentation by Neiman Marcus Bal Harbour. The Art of Fashion takes place Wednesday, September 7, at Neiman Marcus, Village of Merrick Park, 358 San Lorenzo Ave., Coral Gables. The Young Society of Love and Hope’s Haute Tea takes place Thursday, September 8, at The St. Regis Bal Harbour, 9703 Collins Ave.; visit diabetes research.org/haute-tea.

SMOOTH SAILING LOUIS VUITTON CEO MICHAEL BUR BRINGS THE SPIRIT OF THE HIGH SEAS WITH A COLLECTION INSPIRED BY THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS SPORTING EVENT IN THE WORLD: THE AMERICA’S CUP.

Day 1 racing action at the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series Chicago (the Cup’s first foray into fresh water), which provided a sporty setting for wearing the brand’s America’s Cup collection.

112 OCEANDRIVE.COM

It’s a steamy 94 degrees in Chicago on this sunny Saturday in June. Fluffy clouds dot the brilliant blue sky, but not a lick of wind ruffles the flags over Navy Pier, where thousands of sailing fans have gathered for the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series Chicago. The racing action stops while the sailors—representing six teams from around the world, including Oracle Team USA—wait for conditions to improve, but Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Michael Burke remains unfazed. That’s because regardless of who wins this weekend, with the success of its America’s Cup Qualifiers and Challenger Playoffs—a preliminary series to see who will face off in the America’s Cup itself—Louis Vuitton has much to celebrate. The luxury brand has had a valued partnership with the America’s Cup since 1983, when LV made the savvy proposal of a qualifying series (called the Louis Vuitton Cup until 2013) to produce a challenger and build anticipation and excitement for the grand race itself. The pairing of the two iconic brands is a natural, says Burke. “We were both born at the same time in the mid-19th century, and we’re still relevant because we embrace the same values—creativity, risk-taking, disruption, and technological innovation.”

BY J.P. ANDERSON

To celebrate the 33-year relationship and even more firmly put its brand stamp on the series, Louis Vuitton has debuted the America’s Cup men’s collection, which expresses the spirit of the race in a variety of stylish pieces, ranging from chunky knitwear and cargo shorts to chic leather goods sporting the brand’s new Damier Cobalt Regatta, all with a casual flair tailor-made for dockside spectating. “We’re not competing with extreme performance wear,” notes Burke, “but every male needs some encouragement to dress better when you’re watching the races.” Beyond the collection, the company created a custom-made travel case for the America’s Cup trophy, an exquisite work of craftsmanship that took LV artisans 400 hours to complete and whose grandeur impressively matches that of the trophy itself. It’s an alliance that’s both smart and synergistic: Even as anticipation builds—with upcoming races in Toulon, France (September 9–11), and Fukouka, Japan (November 18–20), culminating in the Qualifiers and Challenger Playoffs, followed by the final match in Bermuda in May and June 2017—Louis Vuitton is generating buzz of its own for a second wave of the America’s Cup collection, to be launched next April. Perfect timing—and a perfect fit for two brands at the pinnacle of their game. Miami Design District, 140 NE 39th St., 305573-1366; louisvuitton.com

For Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Michael Burke (LEFT), the America’s Cup collection of leather goods and menswear—including his favorite piece, the jaunty Regatta Sneaker (BELOW)—is a natural extension of the brand’s long-standing partnership with the America’s Cup, which this year also debuted a new LV-designed logo.

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is one of four judges on the hit NBC singing competition The Voice, where his good looks and unfailing wit have made him a retweetable favorite. But the tables will be turned when Levine and his band hit AmericanAirlines Arena on September 7. It’s been more than a year since the band’s fifth studio album, V, was released, but that’s only because Levine now has a second job as a TV star. And his fans should be in a generous mood, happy to sing along to 14 years’ worth of chart-topping songs from the three-time Grammy Awardwinning (and nine-time nominated) group. On timeless early tracks like “Harder to Breathe,” “Sunday Morning,” and “She Will Be Loved” (from their quintuple-platinumselling debut, Songs About Jane) and monster hits such as “Moves Like Jagger,” “Payphone,” and “Animals,” Levine and company will have no trouble proving themselves worthy of their critical and popular acclaim. Of course, Levine is also a master showman who knows there’s nothing better than a sweet ending, so expect him to close the concert with—spoiler alert—“Sugar,” his most recent hit, which reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100. With a track record like that, we think he’ll ace this contest. AmericanAirlines Arena, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 786777-1000; ticketmaster.com

The Grammy-winning pop-rock group Maroon 5 has played 120 shows in 30 countries in support of their most recent album, V, and on September 7 their critically acclaimed tour touches down in Miami.

From record real estate sales in Wynwood to the decade of success at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, art has become big business in Miami, and with growth and prosperity often comes change. Enter Carolina García Jayaram, who is poised to take the National YoungArts Foundation to the next level as its new CEO and president. “This has become my area of expertise,” Jayaram says of her ability to lead an arts foundation to great growth—a feat she accomplished in executive roles at both United States Artists and Chicago Artists Coalition.

First on the agenda is name recognition. “For an organization that has done so much good for so many years, [YoungArts] is not as well known as it should be,” she acknowledges. “It’s an exciting challenge that we have to tell our story more effectively so that we can reach more talented kids and have the program grow into something that impacts these kids for a longer period of time.” Since Lin and Ted Arison started YoungArts in 1981, the organization has provided more than 20,000 young artists with more than $12 million in

monetary awards and offered programming with teachers ranging from Placido Domingo to Frank Gehry and Debbie Allen. It’s produced alumni like Josh Groban, Kerry Washington, and Andrew Rannells, to name a few. “A big part of what I did at USA was to build an alumni program, which will be a big part of what I do now,” she says, noting that alumni have already been organically helping out one another post-graduation with internship and employment opportunities. Raised in Central Florida, Jayaram spent eight years in Miami, including law school at the University of Miami and time as cofounder and executive director of Cannonball, before heading to Chicago. It’s a homecoming she was looking forward to and one made easier by relationships with local arts leaders like Lourdes Lopez (Miami City Ballet), Howard Herring (New World Symphony), and the team at the Knight Foundation. While she can turn to them

for advice and support, it’s her own experience that makes her the leader YoungArts needs. “The CEO is very much the maestro of the orchestra, and that’s what I enjoy—pulling the pieces together so that as an organization we can move forward,” she says. “You have to be really prepared for the unknown. It’s about making sure you have a good response when things inevitably change. Being able to adjust to those changes is what really sets apart a flourishing organization from ones that get stuck.” For Jayaram, who loves Miami (and living in the sunshine again), it’s not only the organization but also the city that excites her for the future of YoungArts and the arts as a whole. “Miami looks like what the rest of the country is going to look like in the next 20 to 25 years, so to be in a multicultural, international city while we are building these institutions is incredibly exciting.” 2100 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 305377-1140; youngarts.org

For many television hosts, Hollywood is a calling, but for Dave Aizer, host of WSFL-TV’s magazinestyle Inside South Florida, Miami was screaming for him to return. “I was itching for the chance to move back here,” says Aizer, who grew up in Coral Springs and was the sports director at the University of Miami radio station in college.

“When WSFL became an option, I couldn’t say yes fast enough.” The move happened in 2009 after stints in both New York and Los Angeles, where among other things he worked for The Onion News Network and was a member of the Groundlings improv comedy troupe. “Being part of the Groundlings

really sharpened my skills as an interviewer and live broadcaster because it made me much more aware of my surroundings and more of an active listener,” he says. At The Onion, it was all about comedic timing. “Less is more,” notes Aizer. “Believe me, that is a skill.” However, Aizer’s greatest claim to fame

priority. “I’m proud of my scars,” he says. “To me they are battle scars, and if someone watching sees my scars, googles it, and finds out it’s because I’m a melanoma survivor, and starts wearing sunscreen because of it, then I’m grateful.” For more information about risks and prevention, visit skincancer.org.

might be his years as host of Nickelodeon’s Slime Time Live, a daily national kids’ game show filmed in Orlando. “That changed my life,” he recalls. “It was supposed to be a 10-week show, and it lasted six years. It exploded onto the pop-culture scene.” Slime Time Live led to a red-carpet hosting gig for the network’s Kids’ Choice Awards, and a stint in London for Robot Wars, a show that puts teams of robot builders in head-to-head battles. Says Aizer, “I think I have too many gray hairs at this point to be hosting game shows for Nickelodeon.” Inside South Florida—a show on the regional CW affiliate that highlights local happenings, including sports, celebrities, restaurant and boutique openings, health, and charity—has allowed Aizer to grow as a host, writer, and producer. While it afforded him the opportunity to interview his childhood idol—nowMarlins manager Don Mattingly—it also allowed him to interview the oncologist and surgeon who helped him in his own battle against cancer. Early last year, Aizer was diagnosed with stage 3A melanoma. The scars on his face and neck serve as a visible reminder that taking care of your skin under the hot South Florida sun must be a

How would you describe the Sacred Space Miami? It’s an epicenter for wellness and transformation. After being in the works

for so long, and with so many parts, it’s hard to believe it’s a reality. It was tied to my evolution. As out of control as I once was, so were my clients. I saw people who needed wellness in their life, but wanted them to know they didn’t have to go to the Himalayas to find themselves. Did you have doubts that this would work here? No, my vision was very

clear. My late father, who didn’t believe in the lifestyle, said, “Karla, people are going to come crawling to this space—not because they need it, but because they want it.” What was your wake-up moment? Obesity, diabetes, anxiety, and depression, combined with the stress of the event business. I qualified for gastric bypass, and had

it, but it didn’t change my mind or soul. I walked into a yoga class one day, and instructor Fred Bush was drinking this blue algae called E3Live. I asked him if it could help get me off antidepressants. What did you do next? In 2008, my event business came to a screeching halt. It allowed me to start traveling more and seek out teachers and healers. I

started taking care of the physical and soul. I opened my space up for these teachers to educate. Tell us about one of your programs. Prayerdanse is our signature movement practice. It was created when we were on a cruise with the late Debbie Ford, known for the Shadow Process [a three-day evolutionary workshop], and we wanted to bring it here. What brought you together with cofounder Chira Cassel? We were connected and spent hours talking about our conscious living principles. When I asked her to start the next day, she asked for two weeks because her brother was getting married, and I was producing the wedding. How is it working with Plant Food + Wine chef Matthew Kenney? Food is what healed me. His updated version of the daily food pyramid puts plants as the base and on the top. I’m very committed to it because it works. It’s about using a more holistic system. When you look at the conscious community, who are some of the leaders who form its foundation? Rachel Levy, my life coach. The team at Unity on the Bay. Sadhu, my meditation coach and Kundalini teacher. Dr. Etti, who was instrumental in introducing juicing to Miami. Fred Bush, my yoga instructor. Among many others. Your parents are known for their generosity; it seems like it’s come full circle. This is my giving back. My father is the true founder here.

The pre-Basel buzz is already in the air as South Florida’s art institutions shake off the summer lull with a flurry of new openings this month. The Peréz Art Museum Miami puts the spotlight on one of its most attractive features—its own building and surrounding grounds—via New York-based artist Sarah Oppenheimer and her installation entitled

“S-281913.” Oppenheimer’s signature interplay of large-scale mirrors and architectural cutouts should have selfieloving museum visitors entranced. No less attention-grabbing, Miami’s own Antonia Wright will have folks flocking to Locust Projects for the debut of her latest video. Much like hallowed performance artists Marina Abramovic

and Chris Burden, Wright puts herself front and center in her work, whether she’s filming herself crashing through walls of books, being coated with insects, or weeping in public on a Parisian street to record the reactions of passersby. The Museum of Contemporary Art turns to Venezuela-based artist Rolando Peña for his “Black Gold,” a multi-

disciplinary exploration of the thorny role the oil trade has played in Venezuela’s historical development—as both boon and bane to the country’s attempts to politically remake itself. Closer to home, the art collection of Fort Lauderdale’s Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz moves onto the walls of the NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale.

The pair have been longtime patrons of the local cultural scene, as well as collectors of a who’s who from the international contemporary whirl, putting an emphasis on female artists whether they hail from Little Haiti or London. Curated by that museum’s director, Bonnie Clearwater, this exhibit not only showcases Good and Horvitz’s years of

collecting, it also embraces their boundary-crossing and contrasting spirit: Painstakingly hand-woven trompe l’oeil work by Miami’s Frances Trombly shares space with an in-your-face neon sculpture by England’s Tracey Emin. Another local, José Alvarez (D.O.P.A.), struts his stuff at the Boca Raton Museum of Art with “Krome,” a series of drawings done at, yes, the Krome Detention Center, where Alvarez was incarcerated for two months for identity theft and took the opportunity to sketch his fellow inmates. However one feels about the ethics behind the show—a needed airing of unheard voices or an example of the art world’s blithe romanticization of criminality— Alvarez’s work is also an impressive example of what a talented draftsman can do with simply a ballpoint pen and a piece of paper.

What makes VeritageMiami special? It’s an opportunity for the entire community to come together and really help celebrate all the good things that United Way does, and have fun while doing it. The first-class venues are spread throughout the city, so that gives people within our community an opportunity to venture out. What is new and exciting this year?

WITH A NEW COACH, NEW PLAYERS, AND A $500 MILLION STADIUM RENOVATION, THE MIAMI DOLPHINS HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR AN EXCITING SEASON. BY JON WARECH

Both on and off the field, the Miami Dolphins have a new look this season. The excitement starts with Adam Gase, who takes over as head coach. At 38, Gase is the youngest head coach in the NFL, but the chief talent he brings to Miami Gardens is his ability to work with quarterbacks. He was the offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos

The Dolphins have some significant home games outside the division this season—against the Steelers, 49ers, and Cardinals—but if you’re looking for a fun road trip, Miami will play the Los

Angeles Rams (for the first time since 1986) on November 20 at the LA Coliseum, the same stadium where in 1972 the Dolphins capped off their perfect 17-0 season with a win in Super Bowl VII against the Washington Redskins. The hope, of course, is that the 2016 team will finish its season like that legendary squad.

IN IT TO WIN IT

With new marquee names such as Mario Williams and Arian Foster joining the likes of Tannehill, Ndamukong Suh, and Cameron Wake, anything seems possible. Regardless of wins and losses, however, a trip to Sun Life Stadium will be a completely different experience in 2016. New 1,472-inch screens have been installed in each corner, and there’s a new state-of-the-art canopy that shades 92 percent of fans. It features 94,000 square feet of translucent material that provides supplemental light while reducing solar heat. Also part of the $500 million renovation were last season’s improvements to the seating and the VIP area. “Each year, we listen to the fans and work to enhance their game-day experience,” says Jeremy Walls, the Dolphins’ senior vice president and chief marketing officer. “The shade canopy and video boards are another amenity that will not only bring the facility added comfort, but they’re another step in turning the stadium into a global entertainment destination.” The new look has the whole team enthusiastic. “I’m excited to step onto that field in our newly renovated stadium this season,” says defensive end Cameron Wake. “To play in front of our fans in such a world-class facility brings the game day to another level.” If that excitement leads to a division title, it will give Dolphins fans one more reason to celebrate on New Year’s Day, when the team concludes its regular season at home against a hopefully deflated New England Patriots. miamidolphins.com

We’ve all been there: stuck on I-95 less than a mile (but still an hour) from the beach or trapped in gridlock after a Miami Heat win when the gas light comes to a glow. “When has someone ever been excited to pump gas?” asks Barret Hammond of GasNinjas, the city’s first on-demand fuel delivery service. “You don’t realize what an inconvenience putting gas in is till you never have to do it again.” With partner and fellow 20-something Brandon

Timinsky, Hammond created GasNinjas, a roving fleet of trucks that deliver petrol through the night (and during the day in select delivery windows) to the residents of the Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, Apogee, and Faena; the University of Miami campus; and the office parks of companies such as Burger King and United Healthcare—30 zip codes across South Florida in all. “Pumping gas takes an hour out of your monthly routine,”

says Timinsky, and time, of course, is money. But besides giving you an extra 12 hours a year to hit the beach, GasNinjas also helps keep you out of harm’s way, as “more than 120,000 crimes take place in gas stations annually,” says Hammond. Currently available only in South Florida, the service is planning to expand, with Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Denver next to get their needles moved to full. gasninjas.com

In addition to convenience and prices that are competitive with those of local branded gas stations, GasNinjas offers a membership program with extra perks like discounted on-demand car washes, unlimited one-hour delivery, roadside assistance, windshield wiper changes, and tire top-offs.

Stranger Than FicTion Author Carl Hiaasen mines south FloridA’s All-too-true weirdness For his new novel RazoR GiRl. by brett Sokol

“ThaT’s whaT keeps you going as a wriTer and a journalisT— The fighT.” — carl

Mansfield, while entertaining, is hardly a model citizen. A razor-toting hustler with a heart of gold? Sure, and just one of the memorable characters running amok in Key West throughout Razor Girl’s tale of a kidnapped reality TV star, the redemption-seeking ex-police officer in search of him, and the array of bumbling criminals in their orbit—all inspired by painfully true local news stories. But Hiaasen’s chief inspiration was the young readers of Skink and his four other best-selling children’s books,

whose letters to him are filled with just as much outrage over corporate attacks on the environment as those written by his adult fans. “These kids are idealistic, but they’re also pretty sharp,” he says. “It gives you this great hope that even if only one out of 10 makes it through college without having their idealism beaten out of them on the way to an MBA or wherever they’re going and keeps up the fight, the world will be a better place for that. Secondly, it also gives you the energy to keep fighting, to keep raising hell and

screaming and yelling about what’s wrong out there. Not just the evil, but the hypocrisy and the political corruption. Because you realize there’s all these kids who deserve better than what we’ve got. That’s what keeps you going as a writer and a journalist—the fight. It’s always the fight. And what are the stakes? Could they be any higher?” Carl Hiaasen will discuss Razor Girl on September 28 at the Coral Gables Congregational Church. For tickets, contact Books & Books at 305-442-4408 or at booksandbooks.com.

“At some point, a trigger goes off,” explains Carl Hiaasen about his writing process. For his weekly political columns in the Miami Herald—which he’s been penning since 1985— the spark is often one of the head-shaking headlines that South Floridians have seemingly become inured to. But when Hiaasen began writing Razor Girl, his 14th wildly comic novel set in South Florida’s landscape of rapacious real estate developers, shyster lawyers, corrupt politicians, inventive con artists, and everyday idiots, the inspiration was a news story in The Key West Citizen that was bizarre even by local standards. “A woman was shaving her bikini area while driving and smashed into the back of a car full of tourists,” says Hiaasen. Just another day in paradise. “It seemed like something you couldn’t surpass with satire,” he adds, a realization he took as a cue to do just that. “It’s the job of a novelist to twist it. Your head fills up with stuff and you have to get it down.” Thus was born Razor Girl’s titular heroine, Merry Mansfield. Or rather, as in so many of Hiaasen’s novels, its plucky antiheroine, as

FIFTH DIMENSION URUGUAYAN SENSATION QUINTO LA HUELLA ADDS TO THE EVER-GROWING ECLECTIC MIX OF CULINARY DELIGHTS IN THE BOOMING BRICKELL FOOD SCENE.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY SWIRE PROPERTIES

BY LEE BRIAN SCHRAGER

Stepping off the elevator on the fifth floor at the sparkling new EAST, Miami hotel is a bit like entering a modernized South American jungle oasis. Designed by Studio Collective, with art courtesy of a collaboration with Miami-based Uruguayan Sammer Gallery, Quinto La Huella boasts a large outdoor patio wrapped in just enough greenery to give you a respite from downtown Miami. Then you spot the parrilla. The focal point, a mass of blackened steel burning local red and white oak, is surrounded by a 12-seat counter made of more wood, much of it in its natural state. All of this, reminiscent of the flagship Parador La Huella in Uruguay (which holds the Number 11 position on the list of Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2015), is under the helm of Executive Chef Nano Crespo. The product of Italian and Spanish grandparents, Crespo started working in his father’s restaurant and has fond memories of eating paella every Sunday at his grandfather’s house during the summer. He later spent two months at the world-renowned flagship in Uruguay before opening its first outpost here in Miami. “We brought the style of cooking and the classics here,” says the chef, who also has six team members from Parador La Huella

Quinto La Huella serves simply prepared fare like pulpo a la plancha (octopus) with confit potatoes and paprika, and almejas à la provençale (clams; TOP).

permanently relocating here, and four members of senior management coming back every three months. Though the owners of Parador La Huella had been approached before about expanding, it was ultimately the combination of Swire Hotels’ existing record of destinations and the evolving cultural capital of today’s Miami that led them here. The restaurant’s meat offerings are a main focus of the menu, and four out of five cuts come directly from Uruguay. “There’s a difference between grain-fed and grass-fed meat,” says Crespo. The latter is “free-roaming, so it’s leaner and tougher.” Simply prepared and served, red meat dishes like the milanesa, entrecôte, and entraña are complemented by the ever-popular octopus and half local fish on the grill. “The local fish here is much leaner,” Crespo notes. The chef is making his mark here, too, enjoying some freedom and creativity with menu items like the salads, vegetables, and pizzas. “We use dough that ferments for two days and is made with 100 percent Italian flours,” yielding a thin crust with bubbly edges that are “nearly charred.” Crespo says they’re currently adding dishes every four to five days now. Selections are representative of what Crespo feels helped earn Quinto La Huella’s flagship its high ranking. “It’s very true, artisanal,” he points out. “Very simple and casual, yet purposely crafted, letting the ingredients speak for themselves.” EAST, Miami, 788 Brickell Plaza, Miami, 786-805-4646; quintolahuella.com

Why make your own private sake, the Junmai Daiginjo? Makoto Okuwa: I wanted people to come to Makoto and try sake because it matches the food. So I made my own. It was a natural progression [in my mission] to introduce Japanese culture to the world. You’ve been working on it for some time. More than two years. Finding the right brewery took quite a while. Each [brewer] has their own philosophy. I chose [one] that brings the passion to the work. What was most challenging? To express my flavor. I’m not in Japan next to the producer every day, so sending bottles and comments back and forth took months. I was ready to give up—the brewery didn’t let me till I was 120 percent happy. What do you love about it? We call it very dangerous sake. [It’s] smooth and super fruity and has umami. We use unusual amounts of koji mold to make it smoother than usual. What’s the perfect Makoto pairing with it? My sushi and sashimi has lots of flavor other than fish. I have chosen a thicker grain of rice. The vinegar, salt, and sugar I use have so much more flavor. Also, the miso sea bass; anything with strong flavor. What is the biggest misconception that diners have

Ferran Adrià and Gastón Acurio protégé Diego Muñoz has brought his culinary wits to Brickell at this Peruvian gem dishing out a fusion of cuisines and techniques, resulting in plates like pulpo al olivo wrapped in nori gunkan-style, nearly rare filet mignon “lomo saltado,” a fish cutlet whirling in peanut curry, and chocolate in a plethora of forms and temperatures. 1111 SW First Ave., Miami, 786-6159633; 1111peruvianbistro.com

SAVOR cocktail culture The backyard shack has its own distinct vibe and bevvies. “I wouldn’t say tiki but tropical,” says Gabriel Orta. “Like Caribbean meets Jamaica.” His go-to beverage? “We always have a frozen drink that’s changing. The last one had fresh lychees and fish sauce.”

Alex Chang, featured in the documentary film Paladar, created the menu, which includes a Japanese hot dog with samurai sauce, Tex-Mex queso with avocado and chile morita, and a Korean vegetable pancake with kale and special kimchi.

A flashing neon sign suggesting a New York-style piano bar could be considered false advertising for an ’80s throwback drinking den like The Anderson, but it’s a salute to its predecessor, Magnum Lounge, which had the oldest liquor license in the Magic City. The location’s license has been passed down to Elad Zvi and Gabriel Orta, the forces behind the Broken Shaker, named one of the world’s 50 best bars by a group of industry experts. Now Zvi and Orta are taking their talents to the Boulevard of Dreams. Hugh M. Anderson (aka Mr. Anderson) developed the Miami Shores area and even built a causeway connecting Biscayne’s shores with Miami Beach. “This bar is our tribute to him and the Biscayne Corridor,” says Orta. A blast from the past indeed,

146 oceandrive.com

The Anderson boasts Magnum’s vintage piano, red retro booths, plaid wallpaper, and a jukebox that blasts “Purple Rain” and other ’80s classics. “We got inspired by forgotten cheesy cocktails from that era,” says Orta about the beverage menu, which includes a twist on the dirty martini with caper berries, Filthy olive brine, and optional truffle spray; a Sex on the Beach spiked with Aperol and finished with house-made peach cranberry “goo”; and the off-menu Like a Virgin, which forgoes cranberry and vodka for jasmine tea- and citrus-infused Mandarine Napoléon and Beefeater-soaked lemon peels. Says Orta, “We wanted to make the cocktails easy to read and drink.” 709 NE 79th St., Miami, 305-7573368; theandersonmiami.com

“Everyone loves the Mr. Anderson,” says Orta about the rye whiskey, mezcal, Cynar bitter, and cardamom-infused Punt e Mes vermouth tincture.

SAVOR THe big deal “Without passion, there’s not much you can do successfully in life,” says winemaker Sacha Lichine, whose Provence vineyard produces many of the most popular rosé bottlings, including Whispering Angel and Rock Angel.

Rosé All DAy From his Boca raton home to his estate in Provence, Sacha Lichine is making rosé the jet-setter’s drink oF choice.

Spending the summer at his vineyard in Provence was a must for winemaker Sacha Lichine, the “pour-fectionist” behind Château D’Esclans’s Whispering Angel, Rock Angel, Les Clans, and Garrus rosé, among others. The literal fruit of his labor rested on his shoulders. “There are certain decisions, qualitywise, that you have to make, and a lot of the people working for you won’t take the risk,” says Lichine. “Quality starts in the vineyard, and without a good fruit you can’t make a good wine.” Lichine’s decisions have been on point since he purchased the 667-acre estate in 2006. With Château D’Esclans, Lichine is following the career path of his father, esteemed winery owner and writer Alexis Lichine, except that Sacha is blazing his own trail. After selling the family estate, Château Prieuré-Lichine, he used his lifetime of knowledge working in every area of the industry to become the king of rosé. “My father said, ‘Don’t follow trends—set them,’” says the Bordeauxborn, New York-raised Lichine. “That’s what we did with rosé. I started working in the vineyards when I was 14, and I became passionate about it.”

By Jon Warech

Lichine began selling that passion door-to-door, in a grassroots marketing campaign that has been successful for him since day one. He launched in Miami in 2007, aiming to reach an international crowd through the South Beach Wine & Food Festival as well as the hotels and restaurants in the city. He connected with hotelier Steve Wynn (who was once a distributor for his father’s wine) in Las Vegas, and now the Wynn jet is stocked with the top-dollar Garrus. When Lichine launched Rock Angel in Los Angeles, he had a team of three hit the streets to open 102 accounts in three days. “The best marketing is shaking hands, making friends, and selling wine,” says Lichine, who now lives in Boca Raton. “I wanted to get into all these places— from Bali to Phuket to the Maldives, to the Mandarin Oriental and The Peninsula in Hong Kong. I hit the streets, burned some shoe leather. My goal is to get rosé in people’s mouths.” His future goals are lofty. While he’ll make 415,000 cases of rosé, and distribute to 102 countries this year, he says over the next few years he plans to up that number to 650,000 cases. But for those who have vacationed in St. Barth’s recently, that number seems reasonable. “I think Nikki Beach in St. Barth’s did 180 three-liter bottles of Garrus at 1,000 Euros a crack this season,” says Lichine, who notes that more competition only means the market is getting stronger. “The future is very bright. [Rosé] is sort of the cool thing to drink today, and I think it’s here to stay.”

Whispering Angel rosé poured at Soho Beach House during a past South Beach Wine & Food Festival.

SAVOR drink

vodka en vogue

“each drink can become an elevated experience with a fitting choice of vodka.” —tony abou-ganim

Good old vodka is back, baby—and with an upscale twist.

A clear comeback: Master mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim’s recipe for the perfect martini? Vodka stirred with ice, unadulterated by vermouth, and strained into a chilled cocktail glass. Take that, James Bond!

154 oceandrive.com

These days, vodka is increasingly what’s in cocktail-hour glasses. For a while, a revived interest in whiskey and other brown spirits had nudged the clear elixir out of the spotlight, but now a growing number of unusual and luxe vodkas are fueling a renewed surge. “Vodka’s heritage and flavor nuances deserve a measure of reverence,” says Tony AbouGanim, an award-winning mixologist and the author of Vodka Distilled. As smooth and versatile as ever, the newest crop of vodkas also comes with a twist: stories to tell. For example, Hangar 1’s limited-edition Fog Point Vodka (USA; $125) is a grape-based vodka, distilled from wine (specifically, Bonny Doon’s 2012 Le Cigar Blanc), then cut with water collected from San Francisco’s world-famous fog— a love letter to the distiller’s Northern California home. Across the Pacific, Soyombo Super Premium Mongolian Vodka (Mongolia; $30) is a bottled history lesson: The wheat-based spirit is distilled on the site of the last Mongolian emperor’s palace and filtered through such precious materials as quartz, silver, and diamonds. Finally, Double Cross Vodka (Slovakia; $37) comes packaged in a sleek, sculptural bottle made from high-end French crystal and laser-cut with select lines of Slovakian poetry. Regardless of which you choose, drink it with respect. “Take your time,” counsels Abou-Ganim. “Vodka should be sipped and savored rather than shot back in a flash.” Cheers to that!

Forget Miami’s scorching 100-degree weather. Swimsuit supermodel and all-around beauty Hannah Ferguson brought the heat to the Magic City as she strutted down the Delano’s red carpet in an ultrasexy (and risqué) red cutout Vatanika gown and Sergio Rossi sandals. Between shoots, the blonde bombshell flew in for one night only to kick off Swim Week and to celebrate her Ocean Drive July/August Swim Issue cover. Ferguson toasted the evening with Miami’s most notable VIPs and delighted in a special preview of Jantzen’s 2017 swimwear collection. A departure from her childhood on a farm, Ferguson spends most of her time these days globe-trotting from one exotic beach to another for swim shoots, but it’s Miami that makes her feel most alive. “Every time I’m flying here, I’m excited,” she says. “[It’s] the kind of environment that I love to be in.”

t’s a scene that plays out in living rooms across America. The remote-control microphone, the tennis racket guitar, the bucket drums—what kid hasn’t performed an epic ballad or two in front of their adoring family and friends? But rarely do those moments translate into actual stardom. While many dream of being the next Taylor Swift or landing on top of the charts, few actually take that dream and run with it. Eleven years ago, that’s exactly what Katharine McPhee did. Living room performances gave way to Los Angeles theater productions and ultimately a shot at the brightest spotlight in entertainment—American Idol, where McPhee finished in second place behind Taylor Hicks in Season 5. After Idol, she went on to sell almost 400,000 copies of her first album and performed alongside titans of the industry, including Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, and Harry Connick Jr. Public breakups, growing up in front of all of America, and a career jump to the acclaimed TV hit Smash—Katharine McPhee has had an unusual road to success. Now it’s a star turn on the hit CBS show Scorpion and a “new” musical inspiration that allow her light to shine brightest. Did you always know you wanted to perform? I don’t really have a memory of not knowing what I was going to do. I have videos of when I was a little kid singing—my mom is a voice teacher—and our grandparents would come to town, and we would do all of these shows for everybody. I thought I would be a pop star, like Mariah Carey, and then Britney [Spears] and Christina Aguilera came out and I wanted to get a record deal. How successful did you think you were going to be? I never thought in a small way. I always dreamed really big. I never really limited myself. What was the biggest crowd you had ever performed in front of prior to American Idol? I did a short-lived talent show called Ed McMahon’s Next Big Star on this channel called Pax, which doesn’t exist anymore. I was 17 and that was a big deal for me because other than that, it was all high school performances and rallies. I went

to the very end and lost… how like me. You were the runner up on American Idol, too. What does that do for your confidence to twice lose in the finals? I love competition, but I always had this sense that that is not really life. I definitely remember being disappointed, but it didn’t hurt my confidence. Those experiences strengthen your vision for yourself, and also that adrenaline that you get, you want more of it. You want more of the high from performing in front of audiences. You said that you thought of yourself as “pretty, but stupid” ? That was when I was really young. I wasn’t the best in school, but I got attention. Oftentimes, I’ll see these pretty little girls at the store with their parents and one of the first things you want to say is, “Oh my god, she’s so beautiful.” I got that a lot as a kid, especially growing up in LA with talent and modeling agencies and people giving you their cards, when you become valued only for the way you look. I knew I was really good at something—performing; I knew I had value in that way. One of the things I like the most about myself now is how emotionally intelligent I am and how I feel like I have a real, strong sense of myself. That was something I struggled with. We put these messages out there that [being pretty] is such a valuable thing, and it’s natural to want to affirm something you see is beautiful. But it’s something that people can value too much. What’s your take on the evolution of beauty right now and with girls trying to emulate reality stars, like the Kardashians? I love the Kardashians; I enjoy their show. I think some of the images they are constantly putting out are a part of their brand, like constant perfection. I think that they actually are pretty deep thinking, feeling people that have to deal with their issues and lives in their own ways. But there is too much emphasis on the way people look. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look as good as you can, but there is no stopping it. The thing about social media is that it brought access to this so-called “perfection.”

“One Of the things i like the mOst abOut myself nOw is hOw emOtiOnally intelligent i am and hOw i feel like i have a real, strOng sense Of myself.”

What is your view on plastic surgery in Hollywood? I don’t really have a problem with it, but I feel like the reason people don’t want to talk about it is because there is this stigma on whether or not it is actually good work. I don’t have super long legs, so if I could ever trade up, I’d add an extra half an inch to my legs. You look at all the work people have done in Hollywood; even when they look amazing, everyone wants to say, “Well, it looks amazing, but it’s fake.” There is always this angle of trying to take people down. I’m not going to run out and get a face-lift anytime soon, but I don’t know how I’m going to feel 20 years from now. I do believe in aging. I think that there is nothing more unattractive than someone who just refuses to age. At some point you have to allow yourself to age a little bit. But I can’t say that I won’t want to look as good as I possibly can in any stage of my life. You’re an actress, but how do you have time for passion projects like singing? It’s a day-to-day job being on Scorpion. When you sign contracts like that, that’s obviously the biggest priority, but as I have had more time on the show to know what the routine is, and what to expect, I have had more time in my mind to start creating for other things. I’m working on a record again. What is the record going to be? I did a TV special last year, and they asked me to present and walk on stage in Las Vegas. Basically fly out just to say a line [“The next performer is…”], and get back on a plane and go to work the next day. I just didn’t find it to be worth all that time. But I put a feeler out and said, “Hey, if there is any spot for me to sing, let me know.” I’m not usually that forward, but the next thing I know I was on stage with John Legend, Adam Levine, and Harry Connick Jr. singing to celebrate Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday. This is the music I grew up with. My mom sang all of these songs to us growing up, and it just reinspired me in terms of making a record. I love pop music, but the

170 oceandrive.com

reality is you have to have such huge label budgets to have any chance to have pop music be exposed [on the radio]. You’ve had quite a journey. I feel pretty grounded. I got married really young, and then divorced, and in the last couple of years, I felt like, Wow, this is what I should have been doing when I was 20 instead of planning a wedding. But I don’t have any regrets. All of the choices I made I learned from in a really deep way. I have always been fortunate to have strong influences in my life who have forced me to look at my own choices and my own failures. I think we are all on that journey to have more awareness about who we are as a person and to grow and learn. What about charity and philanthropy? What speaks to your heart now? I am pretty involved with Build On (BuildOn.org), where we try to help poverty-stricken nations fund their schools and live a better life. When I went to Africa and actually got to see these places that needed the help and see where the help has gone, that’s when it is the most effective. Feeding ourselves with positive things as opposed to being obsessed with how we look, you do that by really investing in other people. You are single now. What are you looking for in a guy? I have not been single for very much of my life. I don’t really understand how to date or how to be single. As soon as I know that I don’t really want to be in a relationship with somebody, I don’t really care to keep it going. I’m trying to date in a way that doesn’t lock me down. There is still a certain level of attachment with the prior relationship that I was in, so emotionally to be suddenly dating other people is not as easy. People say, “You just need to hook up with a bunch of people,” but I am more of an in-love kind of person. I want to be in love with one person. I’m a one-man kind of gal and a kind of true romantic at heart.

MIANSAI Michael Saiger was selling his line of men’s accessories out of his University of Miami dorm room when the hip Lincoln Road retailer Base fell in love with them and launched a brand that is now sold in 40 states and 36 countries. Along with its highly coveted custom-made anchor rope bracelets, cuffs, and Italian leather goods, the collection includes handcrafted watches, women’s jewelry, and chic travel bags. “For fall we introduced a new finish—rhodium—that gives the silver a strong gray look,” says Saiger, who adds that the women’s tension cuff and the men’s M24 II watch are items to seek out. “Everything is in line with the brand: strong lines and a modern sleek look.” Next up for the made-in-Miami collection?

As cofounder of one of the world’s most successful beauty brands, Moroccanoil’s Carmen Tal is a force of nature. Here, she reveals how creating a line of iconic hair, body, and sun products has evolved into a mission to inspire other women. by JIll SIer aCkI

an inspired life

well-traveled Carmen Tal (opposite page), cofounder of Moroccanoil, draws upon her travels around the world, including to the Beldi Country Club in Morocco (shown here), to fire her imagination for new products and ideas. The recently released fragrance Fleur de Rose was inspired by flowers Tal admired in France.

It started wIth just a basIc need—Carmen Tal, today the cofounder of Moroccanoil, was visiting relatives in Israel when a bad color process damaged her hair. Disappointed, she accompanied a friend to a salon in Tel Aviv, where a hairstylist used an oil treatment to both condition and style Tal’s hair. According to Tal, “The results were like, Wow!” Tal, a former salon owner herself who had also worked in the fashion industry, brought the product back home to Canada, where she started using it in her personal beauty regimen. She shared it with friends, colleagues, and her hairstylist. And as each reported the same impressive results—nourished, beautiful hair—she became convinced she had to distribute this oil on a larger stage. It took Tal six months to persuade her then husband, Ofer, a business executive who spoke Hebrew, that they needed to make this treatment oil their next venture. Initially, the couple started by just securing North American distribution rights, but when their success outpaced the company’s level of production, Tal bought the company outright and launched what is today the multimillion-dollar brand Moroccanoil.

Looking back, Tal admits it was no cake walk. “What we faced most was the negativity of people,” she says of those early days. “The thing for me was mostly people saying, ‘Don’t bring something with oil.’ ‘Don’t bring anything with glass because it’s going to break, it’s going to make a mess.’ Or, ‘Why do you do something with hair—that’s [a] saturated [category]?’ That was the challenge. We just said, ‘Okay, if we fail, we fail.’ You don’t always have a guarantee that things are going to be successful. But we were lucky.” “Lucky” might be the understatement of the century. The gamechanging success of Moroccanoil in an industry notorious for fickleness and fads could well be attributed to some luck, but the stunning growth and longevity of the brand is directly proportional to Tal’s tenacity, dedication, inspiration, and vision. Since the company launched less than a decade ago, Moroccanoil has ignited a passion (some would say obsession) in North America for argan oil, a rich elixir that’s harvested from kernels inside the fruit of Moroccan argan trees. In a labor-intensive process, Berber women crack open the argan nut to obtain the kernels, which are ground to extract the pure, unfiltered oil, which is then left to settle so any impurities sink to the bottom and can be removed. The resulting oil can be used for food (much the same way olive oil is) as well as a moisturizer for the face and hair. Argan oil is one of the main efficacious ingredients in the company’s cornerstone Moroccanoil Treatment and the signature ingredient across the entire product line, and spawned shelves of me-too merchandise. According to industry researcher Mintel, 29 products using argan oil launched in 2008; in 2012, it was 588. Meanwhile, researcher NPD Group has seen US department store sales of products featuring argan oil increase by more than 200 percent. “It actually doesn’t bother me anymore,” says Tal of the flood of argan oil products that fill shelves everywhere from high-end department stores to the local drugstore—even big-box stores like Costco. “Now I’m so confident that being the first, being the pioneer, and continuing to bring products of the highest quality, nobody will ever take that place. No matter how many other products come out, we’re still going to be

“I’m so confident that being the first, being the pioneer, and continuing to bring products of the highest quality, nobody will ever take that place.” white, black, red—there wasn’t much diversity in the marketplace.” Since then, the company has grown exponentially, both in size and in scope, and is now available in over 65 countries and has also experienced tremendous growth in the travel retail/ duty-free category around the world. Tal relocated to New York (Moroccanoil also maintains offices in Montreal, Tel Aviv, and Tokyo), and they have expanded their offerings, from just the treatment oil—which found fans in celebrities such as Madonna, Emily Blunt, and Bar Refaeli—to a range of hair products, including a new texture collection featuring a Dry Texture Spray, made with a special blend of volcanic mineral zeolite and high-performance resins, as well as the unisex styler Texture Clay, which blends argan oil with cosmetic-grade bentonite clay and nourishing shea butter for a silky texture with shapeable hold. A surprising addition to the hair collection, Tal introduced spa-quality Moroccanoil Body skincare treatments, including an exfoliating body scrub—which features a unique blend of argan, sesame, grape seed, avocado, and sweet almond oils to nourish the skin—cleansing bar, shower milk, body butter, body soufflé, and hand cream. Says Tal, “The development of the Moroccanoil Body collection was a natural next step for us, as

we wanted to satisfy our consumer’s desire for luxurious treatments that not only transform the hair, but the body as well.” In 2015, two enticing and exotic fragrances were added: Fleur d’Oranger, a rich orange blossom scent that Tal says “is good enough to eat” and was inspired by her time in Spain; and Fleur de Rose, sparked by a garden of roses Tal spotted during a trip to France. The Moroccanoil Sun collection was launched the same year. “Argan oil is an incredible gift of nature, a natural sun protector, so it was an obvious choice for us to launch a Sun line,” says Tal. “We have always been inspired by the Mediterranean, and our Sun collection reminds me of when I was a teen, and going to the beach with my friends feeling happy and relaxed.” “I find that when I travel is when I have the time to discover, and I have the time to observe and see what else is happening,” she adds. “I’m not a creative person, but I know what I like. And then I interpret it in my own way.” Later this year, the company plans to announce its next generation of yet-to-be-revealed haircare products. “Trends are changing,” says Tal. “We try to come up with one or two big launches every year, or we formulate something—like [when] a new ingredient has come up in the market and we need to adjust—so we constantly are reinventing ourselves.” But most importantly for Tal is her holistic commitment to her customers. As well as inspiring women to look and feel their best, Tal is dedicated to helping them fulfill their personal potential and make their dreams a reality by empowering them to discover beauty in a new light—through the power of inspiration. With this at the forefront of her vision for her brand, and realizing the power of inspiration to move us to action, Moroccanoil announced its

Women InspIrIng Women “I never imagined the journey this would take me on, or how our products would inspire confidence in women,” says Moroccanoil cofounder Carmen Tal. With that in mind, Tal has made giving back to women’s causes a vital part of Moroccanoil’s corporate mission. Launched in fall 2014, the company’s Inspired By Women™ initiative first explored the work of five influential women in a film series directed by actress Bryce Dallas Howard and introduced by supermodel and ambassador Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Now, the project continues with a new chapter, highlighting iconic fashion brand Marchesa’s cofounder and designer Georgina Chapman. Here, this exclusive group of women, handpicked by Tal, represents her dedication to women who inspire confidence in others and create change throughout the world.

the original. It’s not just about being an argan oilinfused brand; it’s much more than that. I think we are special.” At the time of Moroccanoil’s debut, it wasn’t just what was inside the bottle that was unique. The scent (a distinct and delicious aroma the company calls Fragrance Originale), the eye-catching apothecary-esque glass bottles, the elegantly designed labels—everything about Moroccanoil heralded something entirely new and different from anything available in the marketplace. Still, with only one product—the now iconic Moroccanoil Treatment—Tal needed to rely on grassroots marketing to get it into the right hands. Bottles were given away to hairdressers, stylists, influencers, and editors—anyone who could spread the word about what she believed was the new beauty essential. “It was very different than most of the beauty products of the time,” recalls Tal, noting the signature aqua and orange packaging, the blue culled from an image of an ocean seen in a fashion print ad. “Seven, eight years ago, most of the packages were

“It was an ocean, and sand, and it just clicked. It’s like, Wow, this is who we are. We are a Mediterraneaninspired [company], and these are the colors of the Mediterranean.” from an inspired moment! It only takes one moment of inspiration to ignite positive change.” The program’s first five honorees were highlighted in a digital short film series, directed by actress and filmmaker Bryce Dallas Howard. Women featured in the series included trailblazers such as Rebecca Welsh, founder of The HALO organization, which helps homeless and at-risk youth heal and create a future through art therapy, and Allyson Ahlstrom, who provides cool clothes to kids in need across the country through her philanthropic Threads for Teens. “We’re extremely proud through Inspired By Women™ to feature powerful stories of passionate and courageous women who take confidence, compassion, and strength to a whole new level,” says Tal. “We hope their incredibly moving stories and accomplishments will serve as the catalyst that inspires all women to let go of their fears, take a chance, and realize their dreams. When you empower women, the sky’s the limit!” Most recently, the Inspired By Women™ program honored Marchesa designer and cofounder Georgina Chapman, who works with the organization The Magic Bus Foundation, a nonprofit that aims to lift communities in India out of poverty by providing education, sanitation, and mentoring efforts. It’s an organization close to Chapman’s heart as generations of her family have lived in India, and much of the artisanal embroidery and craftsmanship for which her designer gowns are known comes from these regions. Says Tal, “As we only just launched

“Most of the women who inspire me are the women who are not afraid to be women—women that are strong, women that have an identity of their own, and who go for whatever they believe in.” our newest film with Georgina Chapman, our goal is to ensure it touches as many lives as possible. As for the next film, we are looking towards a 2017 launch. It would be amazing, should the stars be aligned, to continue working with Bryce Dallas Howard. She has been such an integral part of the project, and is an extraordinary visionary and filmmaker, not to mention an incredibly inspiring woman herself!” “I always see us as goddesses,” continues the petite Tal, whose soft-spokenness belies her self-confidence and steely determination. “I think [women] should rule the world. We become mothers. And if we, as women, take seriously the responsibility of raising responsible human beings, this world would be a much better place. And by encouraging and empowering women to find themselves and teach them all these things, in 100 years we’ll have a much better place to live. People all over the world have been so moved by the stories of our Inspired By Women™ nominees. I think I’m most proud of the countless lives we have been able to touch through the initiative—and hopefully not only to inspire, but also empower other women to make their own dreams a reality.”

Pioneer Woman architect Jaya ader’s thoughtful and sustainable design approach aims to push miami modernism into a new era. By Jean nayar

After leaving her native Costa Rica to study art and architectural history at Brandeis University, and later earn her master’s in architecture from Harvard, architect Jaya Kader launched her design career under the tutelage of contemporary masters Robert A.M. Stern, Moshe Safdie, and Graham Gund. More than a decade ago, Kader moved to Miami and started her own firm, KZ Architecture; she’s been making her mark in commercial and residential design in South Florida ever since. Sustainable principles are key to her approach. “I attribute it to my Costa Rican roots, where the context and the climate afforded a constant connection with natural light and the outdoors,” says Kader. Here, the architect talks about a groundbreaking two-story house she designed in a 1950s modernist enclave in Bay Harbor Islands...

oceandrive.com 197

Space abode & beyond In response to the long and narrow waterfront site, the house is composed of two parallel volumes separated by a circulation spine, which begins outside as an entry loggia, continues inside as a gallery, and leads to the pool deck and dock.

“This home celebraTes The exTraordinary beauTy of The souTh florida waTer landscape.” —jaya kader The bathrooms are a direct result of the minimalist approach, says Kader.

The owners’ collection of vintage and Midcentury Modern furnishings is on display in the living room.

A lily pond borders the living room.

What was your inspiration and concept for the house? The modernist roots of the town of Bay Harbor Islands offered great food for thought. This residence also afforded the opportunity to work with a landscape that was not only familiar but also dear to my heart, as it is located just 200 feet from my personal residence. To call it paradise would be an understatement, as it celebrates the extraordinary beauty of the South Florida water landscape at its best. The concept of indoor/ outdoor living is keenly celebrated throughout the house. The living room, flanked by water with the lily pond and the pool, offers the desired spatial expansiveness from street to waterway. The visual continuity experienced while indoors is punctured by the sculptural stair and enveloped by the greenery, water, and light of the outdoors. What are some of the eco-friendly attributes of the house? The green strategies included a rainwater-harvesting cistern for irrigation, solar hot water, the use of local and natural nontoxic materials, and daylight harvesting with

tubular skylighting. Sustainable design is important in every context. The built environment is the major contributor of greenhouse-gas emissions, and hence it affords us the opportunity to be an essential solution to the climate crisis. How does the house relate to Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modernist context? This home is a sequel to the Florida Regional Modern movement that developed in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s. Back then, it was through the engagement and enhancement of the context that the early modernist homes achieved the relevant timelessness that continues to inspire and guide us in current practices. It is from midcentury masters, who built before the advent of air-conditioning, that we learned ways to celebrate the potential of the South Florida indoor/outdoor lifestyle as well as the strategies of natural ventilation, building orientation, canopies, balconies, and porches. Moreover, the spatial freedom of the midcentury homes not only reflected an aesthetic value but also the optimist mindset in postwar America, with the vision of a freer and brighter future. Regional Modernism and sustainability, if implemented genuinely, have the potential to guide us towards a more conscious and responsible way of building the future for our developing city. KZ Architecture, 7580 NE Fourth Ct., Ste. 116, Miami, 305-865-9911; kzarchitecture.com

Architecture and interior design were integrated to yield a cohesive design throughout. The ceilings enhance the spatial qualities, and the staircase provided an opportunity for a sculptural gesture.

The residence was a pioneer for sustainable construction in Florida; it was the first house in Dade County to achieve Silver LEED certification as well as Gold certification from the Florida Green Building Coalition in 2009.

“If Gaultier is one of your go-to labels, it’s an easy transition to take a look at the furniture they design,” says Miami interior designer Joe Fava. “People who are in the top 1 or 2 percent already identify with some of these designers, through fashion.” Fava sees this as a logical way for consumers to enrich their love affair with a particular brand, but he suggests having just one statement piece in a room instead of filling it with designer items. “A beautiful cabinet, like the one from Armani (TOP RIGHT), should be the focal point that draws you in,” says Fava, who is currently working on an 11,000-squarefoot penthouse in Highland Beach and has just completed five restaurants in Maryland. “Add other pieces that complement, not overshadow.

bright Idea Designer William Pianta explores new Dimensions in lighting Design. By Jean nayar

After working for years as a lighting designer, Italian visionary William Pianta launched Nahoor, a maker of progressive lighting products. Each Nahoor product is handmade by craftsmen with “100 percent made in Italy” certification, allowing each item to elicit “one-off emotions that can be caught only by an attentive and a sensitive hand.” Exemplifying his highminded philosophy is the new Wright suspension lamp, which combines unique sculptural form with variable function. “It is a tribute to the modern movement, which postulates the overcoming of historical styles, eclecticism, and classicism for a new design language, able to use the technological potential of new materials by combining simplicity and functionality,” says Pianta, who designs all Nahoor products himself. Made of either chromed or lacquered steel or burnished, brushed, or polished brass, the dimmable fixture relies on efficient halogen sources and is available in four different models of suspension—horizontal or vertical with a single element or clusters of two or three elements.

about a little bit of understatement.” The look has resonated with buyers across the country, allowing the pair to roll out a rapid retail expansion that involves three to five new stores per year, including recently opened locations in Austin, Texas, and King of Prussia, Pennsylvania— plus another slated for

Cincinnati by the end of the year. This fall, the design focus is entertaining. “There’s been this evolution in the market,” says Gold, 65. “People want to entertain more at home—to have a home that’s a little bit dressier but still comfortable.” To that end, the company is introducing three surefire

cocktail-party conversation starters: a shimmering brass and acrylic bar cart ($1,870), a curved chaise in deep teal ($3,060), and a slipcovered sectional (from $8,552, above) that can be pushed together or apart for myriad seating options. The new pieces represent the perfect start to the season, as folks begin to head indoors

and plan their holiday soirées. Also new: the brand’s first customizable luxury drapery collection. “We’re always looking for different ways to expand what we’re offering,” says Williams. “This is just a natural extension of what we do.” Miami Design District, 3800 N.

MARKETING MIAMI’S EXCEPTIONAL REAL ESTATE. WORLDWIDE™

SPACE GOLD COAST REPORT The hydrotherapy pool at Metropolitan by Como, the first US hotel for the Singaporean luxury hospitality firm and one of the first ripples in the current wave of Miami hotel debuts.

HOTEL HEAVEN MIAMI IS EMERGING AS THE EPICENTER FOR NEW HOTEL LAUNCHES AND BRAND EXPANSIONS FOR THE GLOBAL HOSPITALITY TRADE.

It’s no secret that the industry driving South Florida’s billiondollar tourism business is hospitality. On and off the beach, Miami is teeming with new hotels—some of them global brand expansions, some of them North American debuts. Attracted by the city’s demographics (including its diversity), many luxe international brands, such as Argentina’s Faena, Spain’s ME by Meliá, Singapore’s Como Hotels and Resorts, and Swire’s Hong Kong-based East, have recently made their US debuts in Miami. Hotels are “just exploding right now,” says Paul Gray, founder and managing director of Cube, The Hospitality Group. “Many brands have launched here.” East (788 Brickell Plz., 305712-7000; east-miami.com), a 40-story tower with a Zen-like aura at Brickell City Centre, boasts 352 rooms, three floors of event spaces, the Asian-inspired rooftop bar Sugar, and the Uruguayan restaurant Quinto La Huella. “We brought a brand to the US,” says Laurent Fraticelli, East’s general manager, whose company saw a need for hotels close to Latin American banks and businesses, “for those who balance their lives between South America and Miami.” The eco-chic flagship 1 Hotel South Beach (2341 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-604-

At the lavish 169-room Faena Hotel (3201 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-5348800; faena.com), where oceanfront suites go for $1,899 a night during high season, the lobby—known as the “Cathedral”—wows with gold columns and colorful murals. Heralding what some are calling the city’s first South American district, the Argentinean hotel has a plush French-style cabaret, with an arts forum and bazaar set to open across the street. Meanwhile, the oceanfront Miami Beach Edition (2901 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 786257-4500; editionhotels.com), a 294-room boutique hotel from Marriott, has “exceeded expectations” since opening in December 2014, says Ben Pundole, vice president of brand experience for Marriott’s Edition Hotels. Building in Miami was an easy choice, he adds, as the United States has now become “tricoastal—Los Angeles, New York, and Miami.” Two years ago, the 75-room Metropolitan by Como (2445 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-695-3600, como hotels.com), from Como Hotels and Resorts, nattily reinvented the Art Deco vibe of the Traymore, while Nobu Hotels is revamping 210 guest rooms on one side of its reimagined Eden Roc Miami Beach (4525 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-531-0000; eden rocmiami.com).

Already in London, Ibiza, Cabo San Lucas, and Milan, the company saw Miami as “a natural next step,” with Cortizas calling the city a hospitality trendsetter “like Shanghai, Dubai, and London.” Last year, Lionstone Development opened the Ritz-Carlton, Bal Harbour (10295 Collins Ave., Bal Harbour, 305-455-5400; ritzcarlton.com). “Miami is on par with larger markets, like New York and London, as a showcase of innovation in the hospitality space,” says CEO Diego Lowenstein. “Brands that are conceived in South America, or for that matter Europe, can use Miami to springboard into the US.” With art districts, acclaimed restaurants, and a renovated convention center set to open in 2018, “Miami transformed itself into more than just a fun-in-the-sun destination,” he adds. Growth and maturity in financial services and technology and a burgeoning start-up scene promise “to attract a greater number of discerning business travelers,” with European and Asian visitors adding to a tourist mix that was once heavily dependent on the Northeast and Latin America.

Real Deal With a $1 billion portfolio that includes paramount fort lauderdale beach and paramount miami Worldcenter, oneWorld properties’ Peggy Fucci is attracting international buyers and brokers to south florida. By RoByn A. FRiedmAn

Peggy Fucci opened OneWorld Properties in 2008—at the height of the Great Recession triggered by the housing crash. Within 18 months, she had sold $50 million in real estate-owned assets and helped her clients reposition projects throughout Florida. In the past two

210 oceandrive.com

years alone, OneWorld has sold more than 2,500 units totaling $2.5 billion. Now the Miami-based real estate titan is traveling to 16 cities in 11 countries to attract foreign buyers and brokers. Here she gives Ocean Drive an exclusive inside look at her business…

What types of deals does OneWorld handle? Eighty percent of my business is new-construction development sales. Twenty percent is very high-end brokerage. How is the market now? The market has changed. We really have to hustle. You have to bring in three

times the amount of traffic to close half the number of sales you did last year. We’re seeing more buyers from China and Turkey as well as the US. What’s selling now? Ultra-luxury is suffering a bit, but properties between $700,000 and $2 million are moving. Places that offer a

complete lifestyle are selling—not cookie-cutter units designed for rental income. What strategies are you using now to sell units? We have to be flexible. If you buy today, you have to give a 30 percent deposit, 10 percent when we reach the sixth floor, and 10 percent when we top off.

photography by ra-haus

Peggy Fucci enjoys the spectacular view from 4151 Palm Lane, a unique double lot with direct bay access, which she is listing for $16 million.

Which areas are hot? The Brickell area in downtown Miami and anything waterfront continues to sell. Fort Lauderdale has gained phenomenal momentum. What will the future bring? 2016 will continue to be strong. In 2017 we will see more buyers from countries like Turkey and France, who want security. What have you seen recently that surprised you? At Paramount, we had a 2,800-square-foot unit, and we noticed that some Chinese buyers wanted more two-bedroom options, so we added more 1,150-square-foot units instead. Tell us about your Luxury Estate Portfolio at OneWorld Properties. I have a $16 million listing in Bay Point (4151palmlane.com) that’s a teardown; it’s a bayfront, 54,000-square-foot lot. Celebrities are looking at it. I sold a $6.7 million unit in Miami Beach in Apogee. I probably do five of these deals a year, but they’re pretty substantial. What’s the latest news at Paramount Miami Worldcenter? We are over 50 percent sold. We have buyers from 37 different countries, and we’re moving full steam ahead with construction. Why is it important for you to be involved in the local community? I am a board member of Miami Bridge, an emergency shelter. I went through a lot of hardship and want to show these kids hope. As an immigrant mother of three, I have a great story of survival, achievement, and now involvement in the community. I want to pass that along. 3020 NE 32nd Ave., Ste. 117, Fort Lauderdale, 954-5147492; 1221 Brickell Ave., Ste. 1460, Miami, 786-536-5770; owpbrokers.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.

HIGH FASHION FASHION LEGEND ARL LAGERFELD COLLABORATES WITH THE ESTATES AT ACQUALINA TO BRING A TOUCH OF COUTURE TO SUNNY ISLES. BY ROBYN A. FRIEDMAN

In his first residential design project in the United States, worldrenowned designer Karl Lagerfeld is partnering with The Trump Group to design two lobbies at The Estates at Acqualina, an ultra-luxury condominium in Sunny Isles Beach. Residences at the posh project—which features a spa, ice-skating rink, movie theater, beachfront

restaurant, and even a FlowRider for surfers— range from $4 million to $39 million, with construction starting in 2017 and slated for completion in 2020. Here developer Jules Trump gives Ocean Drive the inside story. Who’s buying units at the project? It’s mostly younger families with children

because we have tremendous facilities for young children. Over 50 percent [of the buyers] are American. Why did you decide to enter into the partnership with Karl Lagerfeld? He’s a brilliant designer. We’re doing something that’s our most proud achievement at The Estates, and we wanted the world’s leading designer. The guy is legendary. He has come up with enormously creative solutions for our lobbies. Everything in the lobby will be his touch.

What can you tell us about the design? It’s very summery, very alive, and it’s a very cool look. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a condominium building. It’s very youthful, as are his designs. How important is it today for a developer to have a “name” architect or designer associated with a project? It does [matter] to some extent. I feel we were distinctive all along, but I wanted something truly great for the lobbies. The name is obviously important, but more importantly,

we got something incredible in the way of design. Tell us about your new $10 million sales center. It’s about 8,000 square feet and has a fully built-out residence, minus only the two back bedrooms. There’s a full working kitchen, master bedroom, beautiful living room, huge terrace, outdoor kitchen, and Jacuzzi. There’s also an exhibition room and two movie theaters so we can explain the project to buyers. 7895 Collins Ave., Sunny Isles Beach, 786-577-3859; estatesatacqualina.com
