AN ARCHITECTÕS VISION “
The building is like a vertical city composed of three neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has units that serve specific resident demands. Accordingly, the building plan grows towards the sky as residences grow in size. What makes Elysee unique is that its form is different than anything else done before yet it is totally rational. The beauty is in the logic and the simplicity.
”
BERNARDO FORT-BRESCIA OF ARQUITECTONICA
World-renowned architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia, of Arquitectonica, has designed Elysee to be instantly recognizable yet discreet. This is not an ordinary residential tower. From its three-tiered telescoping shape and alluringly light tones to the fine materials used to construct it, Elysee is an exquisite tribute to the power of design to lift the soul.

FRONT RUNNER Prior to her show in Sunrise this month, country superstar Carrie Underwood will perform for military families aboard the new Carnival Vista (BACKGROUND), the largest and most innovative vessel in Carnival’s fleet.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD ROCKS SOUTH FLORIDA AND STRIKES UP A CHARITABLE COLLAB WITH THE DORAL-BASED CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE. BY LAUREN EPSTEIN
If there’s one person worth thanking reality television for, it’s Carrie Underwood. The girl-next-door turned American Idol winner turned bona fide superstar is one of the biggest country artists of all time, and she’s making waves this month in more ways than one. The singer is pulling on her cowgirl boots—and packing a few pairs of stilettos—

OCEANDRIVE.COM
and heading south for two shows in the Sunshine State as part of her Storyteller Tour, celebrating her latest record-breaking album (with Storyteller, Underwood became the first country music artist to have each of her first six albums hit number one during their first week of release). On tour, she flaunts her pipes and plays up her
down-home roots in country twang jams and sweet ballads. But she’s also giving back, teaming up with Carnival Cruise Line to raise money and awareness for Operation Homefront, a nonprofit that aids military families through programs like rent-free housing. “Supporting the nation’s military has always been close to my heart,”
says Underwood, who kicks off the initiative, “Honor. Family. Fun.,” with a private concert for military families aboard Carnival’s newest and most impressive vessel yet—Carnival Vista— in New York on November 4, before the ship sails to its home port, right here in Miami. “I’ve had the opportunity to meet several military families across the
country,” the singer says. “I’ve heard their stories and appreciate all they do for our country. I’m so excited to see them and hundreds more on board.” For more information, visit carnival.com and operation homefront.net. On November 17, Carrie Underwood performs at BB&T Center, 1 Panther Pkwy., Sunrise; thebbtcenter.com.

SECRET GARDEN
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: The Marine Garden is best found by getting lost in Vizcaya’s lush labyrinths and inadvertently winding up at a tropical version of the Gates of Narnia; the pool during construction, 1921– 1922; though the pool is off-limits today, original Washingtonia palms, Pandanus, and Canary Island date palms continue to bloom and envelop the enclave; the Marine Garden circa 1934.
DESIGNED CIRCA 1910 AND CLOSED SINCE HURRICANE ANDREW, VIZCAYA MUSEUM & GARDENS REOPENS ITS FANTASTICAL MARINE GARDEN AND EXOTIC HIDDEN POOL AFTER MORE THAN TWO DECADES. BY CARLA TORRES

Gardens has 100 years’ worth of memories to look back on. Like that gloomy September day in 1987 when Pope John Paul II and President Ronald Reagan took a walk through its magical gardens, including the off-the-beaten-path Marine Garden, which has been closed for the
past 24 years since the wrath of Hurricane Andrew left its mark on the Magic City. That is, until now. “In my mind, this is the most beautiful and evocative of all the gardens,” says Head of Horticulture Ian Simpkins of the newly revived secret garden, originally
built as a theater set and intended by Artistic Director Paul Chalfin to look like it was lost in time. Hidden from the public for over two decades, it doesn’t change the fact that the Marine Garden is a fantasyland and the only place in Vizcaya where you can walk right into the mangroves (some of the
largest in South Florida) in a safe way, says Simpkins, and (on a good day) come across manatees catching some shade from the sun’s rays. “Once you’re in here, you can’t see anything else. It’s that lost garden, romantic ruin, Romeo and Juliet type of feel.” 3251 S. Miami Ave., Miami, 305-250-9133; vizcaya.org

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Recently I was driving over the MacArthur Causeway, surrounded by blue skies and water, when the theme song to the ’80s hit TV drama Miami Vice came on the radio. Instead of racing over the causeway at 125 mph in a Ferrari Testarossa like composer Jan Hammer intended, I was abiding by the speed limit, with the windows up, air-conditioning on, child car seat safely snug behind me, work calls rolling through my Bluetooth. While Miami is not always as it is portrayed in Hollywood, it’s certainly still fun to watch. The song got me thinking, What’s real and what’s fake? These days, it’s HBO’s hit sensation Ballers that’s giving the real Miami a run for its money. In one episode, Miami Dolphins defensive end Ndamukong Suh celebrates the grand opening of a
restaurant called Suh-Casa, which looked so real that I had to Google it to find out the restaurant doesn’t actually exist. So what else can I confirm for you? Are the people and the beaches really as beautiful as portrayed on TV? Well, yes, actually. Is it always a sunny, top-down-on-theFerrari kind of day? It’s sunny often and there certainly are a lot of Ferraris, but good luck trying to find the space past all of the “in season” traffic to shift it over first gear. Where can you find pink flamingos? There are great ones at Jungle Island—the same ones used in the Miami Vice opening credits! Of course, there are probably a lot of unmentionables you see on TV about Miami, too; some true, some a bit of a stretch. But all in all, I get why Hollywood is so obsessed with showing
off Miami’s scenery and characteristics. What you’re holding in your hand is about as real Miami as it gets… Ocean Drive, filled with the people, the places, the things to see and do, where to eat, shop, and have fun. You don’t need television to show you—you get to experience it (as soon as you can put down that mojito and get off your pool lounge chair). No one knows that better than our November cover star, Eva Longoria, a frequent visitor to Miami, her home away from home, who sounds off on everything from the presidential election to her love life to baby news. Another confirmation of what’s real and what’s fake? Eva Longoria is about as real as they come.

November is an exciting time in Miami. Basketball season is in full swing, Art Basel is a month away, and before you know it, we’ll be waving good-bye to 2016—but not without relishing another high season brimming with endless events, parties, and celebrities who make Miami their second home during these colder months. How could they not? There’s never a dull moment in the Magic City!

JAMES WHITE
INGELA RATLEDGE
DAVID ROSENDORF
LEE BRIAN SCHRAGER
Photographer James White began his career in Italy, where he taught photography in Florence for five years. He later moved to New York and launched a career in celebrity portraiture, shooting images of Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Swift, and many others. White is now regarded as one of the hottest celebrity photographers in the world. See his incredible photographs of cover star Eva Longoria in “Eva of All Trades.” What were you hoping to capture at the shoot with Eva Longoria? We wanted a very Miami feel and to capture a special moment with Eva. Greatest thing you’ve ever caught on camera? Happy accidents—mistakes that were unexpected but turned out beautiful.
Ingela Ratledge is a freelance writer and editor who specializes in lifestyle and entertainment coverage. She has held staff positions at Us Weekly and Life & Style, and frequently contributes to publications including Cosmopolitan and Real Simple. For this issue, Ratledge talked love, careers, and politics with cover star Eva Longoria. What did you learn about Eva Longoria in your interview? I was impressed by Eva’s self-confidence, and found it incredibly refreshing. She acknowledges her strengths and totally owns her role as a powerful, hot boss lady. How does she embody the spirit of Miami? Eva absolutely loves Miami, and it’s easy to see why it’s perfect for her: the climate, the food, the healthy indoor/ outdoor lifestyle, the multicultural influences. Her only hurdle is figuring out how to get Hollywood to relocate!
Creator and author of foodforthoughtmiami.com, a blog that highlights the best and brightest in Miami’s culinary scene, David Rosendorf is also the cofounder of Cobaya, the “underground” dinner club. For this issue of Ocean Drive, Rosendorf spoke with chef Michael Lewis of Kyu in “Star Turn.” Favorite Miami restaurant? I think what Brad Kilgore is doing at Alter right now is really special. It’s a restaurant that would stand out in any city in the US. What’s special about Michael Lewis’s food? At Kyu, Lewis seamlessly fuses Asian flavors with Southern barbecue technique in a way that’s both exciting and accessible. This is food made with some real attention to detail, but served in a way that’s relaxing and unfussy.

BRING LIM IN! WEST COAST DESIGNER PHILLIP LIM CELEBRATES THE SPIRIT OF SOUTH FLORIDA—PASTEL, PALM TREES, AND ALL—AT HIS NEW BAL HARBOUR SHOPS BOUTIQUE.

BY KRISTIN YOUNG
Floridians, kick up your heels! In early November, the first 3.1 Phillip Lim boutique arrives at Bal Harbour Shops. The management team at the upscale retail mecca had been actively courting the Orange County, California, native, so when a prime location became available, the designer said the decision to open was a no-brainer. “Coming from California sun, sand, surf, and palm trees, when this [opportunity] came about, we jumped at the chance,” says Lim, noting that Bal Harbour is one of the highest-trafficked malls in the country. Lim, who named the line 3.1 Phillip Lim for the year he both turned 31 and founded the label—a move he now calls “cleverly naive”— embraced the project. The Bal Harbour location joins two boutiques in the US, in New York and Los Angeles, and Lim says he adapts his retail concept to each locale. For Bal Harbour, he infused the store with a pastel Art Deco color palette—a nod to South Beach architecture— and brought in vintage old furniture inspired by

Lim even commissioned a custom rug in the shape of a palm tree. “It was so much fun,” he says. “I got to work with pastel colors, which I love, and it allows me to stretch my creativity with my love of interiors. I’m a firm believer in keeping up the neighborhood feel.” A proponent of brick-and-mortar, Lim says his physical stores— now counting 17

You need one to support the other. One cannot exist without the other.” As for fashion, stylistas can expect 3.1 Phillip Lim’s signature deep-inthe-city aesthetic; look for Eastern influences in the

Very cosmopolitan and equally chic, Brickell’s latest shopping locale—the newest Saks Fifth Avenue on the East Coast—is hitting all the right spots with the Magic City’s fashion-forward style set. “Miami customers have a diverse lifestyle,” says Marc Metrick, the company’s president. “It’s one that skews toward a more avant-garde fashion sensibility.” To that end, Saks has called upon exclusive brands to appeal to Miamians, who on a typical day travel from desk to gym, from beach to rooftop bar and beyond. Designers like Olivier Rousteing, with his sexy and edgy-romantic aesthetic for Balmain, and Consuelo Castiglioni, who creates quirkycool designs for the Italian brand Marni, “will offer a well-curated assortment,” Metrick says. Elite accessory and beauty brands like Ex Nihilo and Kilian, plus beauty salons, bars, and restaurants, elevate the retailer’s offerings—as does the Saks at Your Service program, which provides beauty services, personal styling, event planning, exclusive store access, and more. “We really wanted to offer more than fashion,” Metrick says. “We wanted to offer lifestyle.” Downtown shoppers, meet your match.

There’s nothing quite like feasting your eyes on Creative Director Alessandro Michele’s epic reenvisioning of Gucci. For almost two years, the Italian designer—whose résumé includes stints at design houses like Fendi and Tom Ford—has brought eccentricity, vintage, and a touch of nerdy romance to his collections for Gucci, leading the brand back into the forefront of fashion. This month, chic shoppers get to relish his extravagant vision of fairy-tale love as the cruise collection arrives at its newest outpost, Aventura Mall. With an interior that combines traditional and modern elements with understated glam like marble staircases, vintage rugs, and pink velvets, the accessories-focused boutique brings not only women’s
pieces like handbags, jewelry, and shoes to the Magic City, but also a selection of men’s ready-to-wear, leather goods, and even children’s pieces, for a 7,000-square-foot space of ultimate must-haves. More to love: GucciGhost—the fall collab that took Trevor “Trouble” Andrew’s graffiti art into the mainstream with an updated version of the brand’s logo— filters into the men’s cruise collection for favorites like the GucciGhost Bambi high-top and a skull T-shirt that is so street, it hurts. And ladies, no need to feel left out. You, too, can get your quirky fix with items like rainbow-striped platform sneakers and creature-adorned bags (think flies, serpents, and tigers).

UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE COLOMBIAN-BORN BEAUTY PAULINA VEGA CAPTURED THE HEARTS OF MILLIONS WHEN— AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 22—SHE WAS CROWNED MISS UNIVERSE 2014. AFTER A WORLD TREK SUPPORTING HER REIGN, THE BONA FIDE BOMBSHELL HAS MADE THE MAGIC CITY HER HOME.
What was it like being Miss Universe? It’s still kind of surreal. The whole world was paying attention to how I behaved. I just try to be authentic. I want to be a good example. Why Miami? I needed a change. I’ve always loved Miami. I love the beaches, the weather, and the Latin culture. How did you become the global ambassador for Stop Hunger Now? Since age 13, I’ve been passionate about helping others. People worldwide are starving. Stop Hunger Now (stophungernow.org) really understood and felt my commitment. Any other projects? I’m selling the clothes I wore in the pageant. All proceeds will go to a charity in Colombia that provides medicine to children with cancer. I also model for brands like Pantene, Adidas, BMW, and Falabella, a department store in Latin America. How do you stay in shape? I discovered Pilates in Miami. The first time I did it, I almost died! Cheat meal? Wine, bread, and pasta. I’m obsessed with Italian! Chic spot to hang out? I love Soho Beach House. You can get a bite to eat, go to the pool, and the beach is right there. Advice you’d give to others? Don’t overthink things. Be aware that you are a unique person, and you bring something unique to the table.

Half a century and a bouquet of scents later, Miami joins Diptyque’s collection of exclusive city-inspired candles. “It’s the ultimate gift for someone who lives and

breathes Miami,” says Creative Director Myriam Badault, who gives us a whiff of what to expect. Smells like: “A very sweet, voluptuous flower blend evocative of Florida’s blooming magnolia flower with hints of lemon and vanilla. Foods from the area were important for us. If you close your eyes, you’ll get a ricochet of key lime pie.”
Looks like: Fun in the tropical sun. “We thought about the climate and the luxuriant vegetation of plush banana trees, which we used to design our first Miami store, at Bal Harbour Shops, and then combined that with Art Deco architecture to create the rich green glass hue.” Comes in: “Black-andwhite palm print speckled with colored dots that
mimic bright beach umbrellas seen from the sky during Miami Beach’s high season. Even our packaging pays homage to Miami!” Time it took to get the scent just right: “Six months. We really wanted to have the perfect alchemy of wax and tropical fragrance be as delicate as the [magnolia] flower and keep it natural.”
Will burn for: “Ninety hours if you have the 65-ounce candle.” Pairs with: “Our Do Son eau de toilette, because of the fresh scent of tuberose.” Available at: Brickell City Centre, 701 S.

The parade reaches 50 million viewers with its nationally televised NBC broadcast, and 3.5 million line the streets in New York to witness it live. As part of this year’s milestone, Rizzoli has introduced the coffee-table book Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: A New York City Holiday Tradition, which captures
the history and scope of the spectacle and features a foreword by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and afterword by Macy’s Chairman and CEO Terry J.

Across the country, in-store celebratory events and products will be unveiled— and a new app even allows users to create their own Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. “This is a milestone for Macy’s, but I think it’s a milestone for every fan we have across the country,” says Kule. “This is not a New York parade; this is America’s parade.” 1675 Meridian Ave., Miami Beach, 305-674-6300; macys.com

CLOSE FOR COMFORT CALVIN LEIN’S NEW MAGIC CITY UNDERWEAR SHOP PROVES IT’S WHAT’S BENEATH THE CLOTHES THAT MATTERS MOST. BY LISA FERRANDINO
Calvin Klein has been making girls—and guys— swoon for decades. For many, the infatuation began in 1992 when Mark Wahlberg donned a backwards cap, white boxer briefs, and an undeniably sexy pout (you know the image) and propelled the American brand’s underwear collection into overdrive. Today, the company is doing it all over again, with supermodels-in-themaking like Bella Hadid sporting a logo-banded bra and bikini combo and Anna Ewers wearing a romantic lacy number. The looks are
equally stylish yet completely different, proving that Calvin Klein Underwear is “it” for all things intimate. And now local shoppers can get their fix at the brand’s newest underwear locale, opening early this month. Reflecting Calvin Klein’s contemporary aesthetic, the new Dadeland Mall outpost has an atmosphere of sleek luxury. The lounge features tones of white, dark graphite, and Douglas fir, while a video screen wall gives the space a techy touch. It’s the ideal setting for the full range of offerings in
the Modern Cotton collection—a ’90s-style line of monochromatic logobanded bras, shorts, thongs, and other items for ladies and shorts and briefs for men—as well as more sensual pieces, like those in the Seductive Comfort collection, featuring lace demi bras and feminine silhouettes. Gents have their choice, too, with the Calvin Klein Black collection of ultra-fitted briefs, boxers, and trunks. Miami, it’s time to sleep, lounge, work, play, and live in your Calvins.

Get your earplugs, snapbacks, and beer koozies ready. The biggest weekend in auto racing and some of the fastest drivers on the planet return to HomesteadMiami Speedway this month when Nascar crowns champions in the Sprint Cup Series, the Xfinity Series, and the Camping World Truck Series. With names like Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, and Kevin Harvick, the races—concluding with the Ford EcoBoost 400—will feature a who’s who of stock car racing. “Miami is synonymous with championships, but for a fan who comes out here, it’s much more than just a race,” says Matthew Becherer, president of Homestead-Miami Speedway. “There’s entire daylong lists of activities, including concerts, interactive activities, kids’ zones, opportunities to meet drivers— it’s a bit like a state fair that also happens to be a sporting event.” Here, Becherer gives Ocean Drive the scoop on what to expect. The best drivers in the world race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. That must create a lot of excitement. When you’re out here and you see it live, you realize these

guys have to be wired differently. To be driving at those speeds in such close quarters—it makes a busy day on the turnpike look like nothing. What’s at stake for these drivers? Several million dollars in payout money, but this also really launches a career as far as endorsements, sponsorships, and longevity in the sport. Over the years, there has been some big-time drama. What were some of the key moments? In 2011 we saw Tony Stewart, who barely made it into Nascar’s version of the playoffs, win five out of 10 races to clinch the championship. They recently changed the format, so now when they get here to Homestead-Miami Speedway, it’s down to a final four. In the past two years, the driver had to win the race to win the championship. It really made for some dramatic moments. What is the crowd like? People from all 50 states and more than 20 countries come to town. Nascar fans in general are really just salt-of-the-earth people who like to have fun. They’re loud and proud and wearing their driver gear, taking advantage of everything the track has to offer. What does this race do for the community? Hurricane Andrew devastated the area, and Homestead airbase was reduced from a full-time active base to a reserve base, which took a ton of jobs and families out of this community. The federal government gave the city a grant to start a new economic engine, and 21 years later we generate around $301 million in annual economic impact. It’s a big source of pride in the community. The last Super Bowl in Miami had an economic impact of $331 million, so we’re right in that same neighborhood, but our events happen every year.

SCENE LEGEND
IT’S ALL LOVE WITH A NEW APPAREL LINE, A SUCCESSFUL TENNIS ACADEMY, AND INSPIRING CHARITIES, TENNIS LEGEND AND SOUTH FLORIDA NATIVE CHRIS EVERT IS ACING LIFE OFF THE COURT. BY LAUREN EPSTEIN
Chris Evert grew up with tennis in her blood, training day in and day out with her father, a wellknown force in the Florida tennis scene. With determination and a stoic on-court demeanor, she fought hard for her 157 tournament victories and 18 Grand Slam championships, earning a number-one world ranking for seven years and the highest winning percentage in the sport’s history. Now a tennis commentator for ESPN and the designer of the “sporty with a youthful spirit” activewear line Chrissie by Tail (chrissiebytail.com), Evert this month shifts her laser focus toward giving back to the community she loves with a three-day charity weekend, including the 27th annual Pro-Celebrity Gala at the Boca Raton Resort and Club. Why did you create Chris Evert Charities? Growing up in South Florida, drug abuse was always a factor. Every time I read about a crime in the newspaper, it was always drug-related. Even though charities for drug abuse weren’t as attractive or sexy as others, I felt like people deserved a second chance in life. What can we expect at this month’s gala and ProCelebrity Tennis Classic? Nothing until the last minute! We have Jason Biggs, Kevin McKidd, Timothy Olyphant, Martina

[Navratilova]. It’s a good crowd and a fun event. If we can raise anywhere from $500,000 to $600,000 for the weekend, I’ll be thrilled. Do you teach at the Evert Tennis Academy? I get out there around four days a week to hit with the kids and mentor them. The first few times, they’re nervous around me. Then after a while they talk the talk and start sparring with me. What’s the look of the Chrissie by Tail line? Femininity is number one. I’m a girl’s girl. In the ’70s, I wore sundresses and dresses with cutouts at the hips. I still want to be trendy, but at the same time I want the clothes to fit real women, not just 18-yearold models. The bands around the waist are wider and more comfortable. But I love lace, pleats, pretty embroidery, and fishnet. Were you always interested in designing clothes? After I retired, I was raising my three boys, and the moms at school kept asking, “When are you going to make a line for us?” These were 30-, 40-, 50-year-old women who wanted attractive activewear, but didn’t want the clothes to be as tight. That’s where the idea came from, and Tail was really receptive. How does the tennis world of the ’70s compare to today? There was a boom in tennis at that time. I loved being at the beginning when it was new and exciting. All the top women were really good friends. Martina and I warmed up together before we played each other in the finals of the French Open! It was about women and power and equality and fighting for equal prize money. I think that transcended tennis and affected women in all walks of life, not just tennis players.

“I WANTED TO WRITE A BOOK THAT I WANT TO READ. I DIDN’T WANT TO WRITE A FLUFF PIECE.” —padma lakshmi

James Carville
Why write a memoir now and reveal so much on relationships, daddy issues, and insecurities? I love memoirs, and I especially like food memoirs, and it just felt like the right time in my life to do something like this. I wanted to write a book that I want to read. I didn’t want to write a fluff piece. You’ll also be promoting your new encyclopedia of spices. I’ve never found a comprehensive guide to all the spices in the world. With my Indian upbringing, spice is something I’m passionate about—but it’s also the key to flavor. A handful of spices can revolutionize your cooking. We heard you’ll eat anything, even your own placenta… I had it made into pill form so I wasn’t eating it with my knife and fork. Since I don’t eat meat that much, eating my own flesh wasn’t in the cards for me. You compare men to food, saying that every type of man should be tried once. You can’t judge a person—you have to get to know [him]. Once you get older, it can be a little tricky to meet the right person. Of course, the Internet now makes it easy. So you haven’t tried online dating? [Laughs] I have not… yet. November 13–20; 300 NE Second Ave., Miami, 305-237-3258; miamibookfair.com

At the bar, which now wraps through the indoor restaurant and out onto the deck, guests can sip lychee martinis, raspberry lemon drops, Bellinis, or an array of specialty cocktails. The Rooftop (with a separate elevator entrance) can serve as both an escape from the action downstairs and a party in its own right. And with a 16-foot flashing LED screen one night and a Sunday gospel brunch the next day, it is exactly what E11EVEN needed. “We’ve ingrained ourselves in the Miami culture,” DeGori says. “People tell us what they want, and this is what they want.” 29 NE 11th St., Miami, 305-829-2911; 11miami.com
THROUGH THE ROOF MIAMI’S FIRST 24/7 SHOWCLUB TURNS IT UP TO E11EVEN AT ITS ALFRESCO ROOFTOP LOUNGE WITH A NEW LOOK AND ECLECTIC PROGRAMMING.
At a showclub open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, where on any given night you could find Drake performing, Miley Cyrus partying, Skrillex spinning, or Jenny McCarthy perched beneath a high-flying burlesque act or surrounded by a gaggle of scantily clad waitresses, it’s understandable that you might need a break and a little fresh air. The new Rooftop at E11EVEN— the club’s 7,200-square-foot restaurant and roof deck overlooking Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District, a short elevator ride away from the main event below—provides just that. “E11EVEN demands to be expanded—people want it to be bigger,” says owner and CEO Dennis DeGori. “The Rooftop gives people that extra dimension and allows us to add new elements.”

Replacing the white-tablecloth restaurant that previously occupied the roof is a lounge with a band-shell stage presenting everything from top DJs to jazz bands. There’s a hardwood plank deck with sofa seating, fire-pit tables, and, most important, a new million-dollar state-of-the-art retractable roof, allowing every night to become a rooftop party night. And you just might find Derek Jeter, Jennifer Lopez, or the cast of Entourage up there as well. “Now that we can control the weather, it opens the door to theme nights, private parties, and endless forms of entertainment,” says DeGori. “This is casual and fun. Even though it’s in a beautiful environment, there’s no formality.” The tapas-style menu, prepared in an open kitchen,

clockwise from top left: Terri Cooper leads a yoga class at North Miami Senior High School; a Connection Coalition volunteer at a training session for the “CoCo” tour at Warrior One in Orlando; a North Miami Senior High School student decorates her yoga mat.
“I was a street kid,” says Terri Cooper, the force behind the long-standing nonprofit group Connection Coalition (formerly known as Yoga Gangsters). “I never thought I would work in a yoga studio, let alone own one.” From battling drug addiction and poverty to becoming the owner of the decade-old 305 Yoga, Cooper is living proof of the power of yoga. Through “CoCo,” she brings that power to schools, jails, shelters, and rehab facilities across the country, and now she’s sharing her message with a nationwide tour. Let’s go back to when Yoga Gangsters started in 2003. We didn’t even have a name. It was about helping women doing court-ordered service hours,

and the yoga class got bigger and bigger. Now you’re in 20 states and calling yourselves Connection Coalition. I started off as a dirty, druggedout street kid who fell in love with yoga and its healing power. Overall, we have worked with 15,000 kids on a grassroots budget selling T-shirts out of my trunk. It’s time to put on my biggirl pants and mature. How is the organization changing? For 10 years, we have been talking about inequality and racism, and now with Black Lives Matter the conversation is nationwide. Our motto is “No blame, no shame, no judgment.” What inspired your 18-city
cross-country tour? With the name change, we wanted to do something big. Connection is the cure, and we want to connect our program and cities together in one project to share our mission with more people. How can people get involved? One of our best instructors, Claire Santos, is leading the 15-hour certification training that teaches people our methodology and prepares them to be volunteers. The tour finishes in Miami on November 17, which is Give Miami Day. One of the best days. Every nonprofit in Miami gets good love. We’ll do a cocktail party and invite our community out to celebrate and hopefully fund next year. theconnectioncoalition.org

After cofounding the influential music blog EDM Sauce, Myles Shear discovered Australian DJ Thomas Jack and invited him to Florida, where for a time he slept on the futon in Shear’s dorm at Full Sail University.
140 OCEANDRIVE.COM
At 19, you were managing Thomas Jack. How did you take him from Australia to stardom? I told him I’d book him a tour and do all of these things—I had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea how to book a tour, but before I knew it, he was living in my college dorm. So you learned on the fly and then reached out to Kygo? Thomas was double the size of him—this was very early on—so he thought it would be cool to be as popular as Thomas. I had to do everything, and that’s really what I do best. I’m involved in the full 360 of their careers. How did you know these guys would be successful? I think it was timing, hard work, and luck. Pharrell [Williams] once said he likes to work in a negative space because he likes to be the underdog. That’s sort of how I thought about it. This was a new sound, and these guys were the face of a new genre. Who has mentored you along the way? I used to wake up early and see my dad working at 5 am. I don’t ever sleep. He taught me that work ethic. Another person is [LIV and Story owner] Dave Grutman. I’m always learning new stuff from him. He’s like an older brother. This job takes you all over the world. Do you still call Miami home? I run everything out of Miami. I hire everybody out of Miami. I travel so much, where else would I want to return to other than home?

AGAINST THE STREAM ON THE RIVER, AT NIGHTLIFE KING ROMAN JONES AND EXECUTIVE CHEF STEVE RHEE ARE COMBINING MIAMI’S CAROUSING SPIRIT WITH MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE.
PHOTOGRAPHY BY GARY JAMES
BY CARLA TORRES
In a place like Miami, where sizzling nightlife and haute cuisine are both a daily necessity, it’s only natural that one of the city’s original club kids would grow up to be a restaurateur. “Since childhood, my summers have been spent in Mykonos, and I wanted to bring that same style of restaurant and bar [to Miami],” says Roman Jones, founder of Opium Group, about his latest venture, Kiki on the River. Jones—the son of Foreigner guitarist and rock legend Mick Jones—followed in his father’s musical footsteps but in a different direction, laying the foundation for Miami’s party scene since the ’90s by opening discotheques like the still-talked-about Opium, Privee, Mansion, SET, and Mokai. And since Miamians love food just as much as they love revelry, why not put the two together? This month Jones introduces the country’s first (and only the world’s second) Dom Perignon cabana, which turns pink when you pop a bottle of rosé and yellow for Brut. And if you drink enough Champagne, it sets off fireworks from across the Miami River, where Kiki is nestled against the downtown skyline. But that’s just one of Kiki’s many attractions, which also include exquisite Mediterranean fare from Executive Chef Steve Rhee. “We’re paying respect to the traditional cuisine, but with a few American and global twists,” says Rhee, formerly

the chef at Estiatorio Milos. Exhibit A: the resplendent sashimi, impeccably sliced from whole seasonal fish—head and tail intact—and minimally garnished with thyme, lemon, sea salt, and olive oil on one side and rosemary, white balsamic vinegar, and oil on the other. “It’s one of those dishes that people see and, without even knowing what it is, say, ‘I want that.’” Besides preparing exquisite raw fish, Rhee (who is of Korean descent) can also cook up a serious lavraki (a European sea bass), whether grilled or baked in a salt crust. Prefer fresh Chilean sea bass, Alaskan halibut, grouper, swordfish, or ahi tuna? He’s dishing out those, too, as well as a perfect octopus and Greek-style bouillabaisse of calamari, lobster, the catch of the day, and orzo, whirling in a piquant tomato sauce. “He’s what I call an honest chef,” says Jones. “Everything starts out with ingredients and preparation.” Of course, a Greek restaurant is only as good as its mezze, and Kiki excels with a platter of tzatziki, hummus, carp roe, and roasted baby eggplant (alongside cloudlike house-baked pita), all of which pair divinely with a sweet and tart Mastiha Mule or sangria. Just as sweet is the Greek yogurt capped with thyme honey. “You sort of feel like you’re in your grandmother’s house in Greece,” says Jones. That is, if grandma has docks so guests can pull up their yachts and an alfresco terrace akin to a Greek garden, where you can take private gondola rides. Even with all that Kiki has to offer, it remains irresistibly unassuming. “I found there are other things going on the river that are out of context or scale,” Jones says. “It’s not about exclusivity or the scene, but about creating good memories over great seafood in an idyllic setting.” 450 NW North River Dr., Miami, 305-890-9474; kikiontheriver.com

Sip on bar owner Jason Odio’s (inset) favorite cocktail, the Bebito, named after his Cuban grandfather and mixing mezcal, luxardo maraschino, green chartreuse, fresh lime juice, jalapeño, and rosemary. “All drinks pay homage to either my or Roman [Jones]’s family roots,” he says.
Baby Jane’s intimate 40-seat interior is overflowing with quirky, thought-out details, from a tile bar and full-ceiling mural by renowned artist Juan Rojas to a ’50s refrigerator door to the neon-red i’m not your baby sign that has ignited its own hashtag on Instagram.
COCKTAIL BABY AT DRINKING DEN BABY JANE, SHAKEN AND STIRRED LIBATIONS ARE HEATING UP BRICKELL’S NIGHTLIFE.
Sidebar and Ariete owner Jason Odio got his start in Miami’s nocturnal life as a sophomore in high school, when he threw his first all-ages summer jam at Living Room in downtown for club veteran Roman Jones. A decade and a half and a restaurant and bar later, Odio has reunited with his longtime mentor (and the operating brain behind Opium Group’s myriad of clubs) to bring cocktail house and eatery Baby Jane to life. “The fact that he showed me everything and we’re still close was an opportunity for us to come back together,” Odio says. Baby Jane is an expression of what Odio prefers at this point in his life, he says: remastered craft cocktails like the tongue-in-cheek Jane & Juice (gin, cucumber bitters, lime juice, St. Germain, and

egg white); a hard-to-beat selection of old-school music ranging from hip-hop to rock to disco (come on a Tuesday for bring-your-own-vinyl night); attentive service that might include your barkeep writing you a poem to pair with your drink; and an unpretentious cool-kids crowd and vibe that will keep you out till 3 am on a weeknight or 5 am on the weekend. Evade a much-guaranteed hangover by taking Baby Jane up on everything she has to offer, including new-world American bar bites (think pork belly and plantain doused in caramel) from chef Michael Beltran and sweets like guava and cream cheese Pegasus pie courtesy of Dallas Wynne. Nobody puts Baby Jane in the corner. 500 Brickell Ave., Miami, 786-803-8004

IT TAKES TWO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MIAMI’S GASTRONOMIC HISTORY, TWO JAMES BEARD AWARD-WINNING CHEFS WILL BE UNDER ONE ROOF WHEN JOSÉ ANDRÉS AND MICHAEL SCHWARTZ DEBUT BAZAAR MAR AND FI’LIA AT THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SLS BRICKELL. BY CARLA TORRES
As SLS Brickell’s culinary director, why go with these concepts and partner with Michael Schwartz? José Andrés: We wanted a recognizable leader and face who has created dining neighborhoods through the magic of his restaurants. Michael is the one guy we can say is Mr. Miami and a super-talented, amazing chef. Michael Schwartz: José’s restaurants are innovative, creative, dynamic, and groundbreaking, and I am not that. We’re more simplistic, paired down, and a little bit understated, but we complement each other. It’s a good contrast. What can diners expect from Bazaar Mar and Fi’lia that they can’t get anywhere else in Miami? JA: Us, together. MS: I am looking forward to playing off of that and contrasting what José does, which is easy because our styles are very different. Fi’lia is a different approach to Italian; it’s not typical, regional, or authentic. It is certainly inspired by Italy, but with a much lighter, brighter approach.

No stranger to Miami, chef Michael Schwartz has built a restaurant empire on his use of bright, fresh ingredients. Now he joins avant-garde celebrity chef José Andrés, culinary director of the SLS Brickell, to prove that great culinary minds don’t necessarily think or cook alike. Here they dish out all the details on Bazaar Mar (Andrés) and Fi’lia (Schwartz) and their unorthodox approach.
“FI’LIA IS INSPIRED BY ITALY, BUT WITH A LIGHTER, BRIGHTER APPROACH.” —michael schwartz
Michael Schwartz (left) and José Andrés
What’s the vibe? MS: A lot of fire. [At Fi’lia] there is a beautiful open kitchen anchored by this wood oven and a five-foot bar. Some surprises, too. JA: The bar [at Bazaar Mar] is very whimsical as you come in, super black with gold—very Versailles, even though it has nothing to do with Versailles. Then you step into the restaurant and it is totally different, bluish, and tries to re-create old markets of Spain—even though it has nothing to do with Spain. Speaking of food, what do you think will become the signatures? JA: I hope it’s the whole fried lionfish. I love scuba diving, and Michael introduced me to the species in the Cayman Islands, where he runs lionfish safaris. They are the rats of the ocean. They eat a lot and multiply, so we need to make sure they become a beloved fish that people eat, like stone crab. MS: One thing that might set Fi’lia off is this classic tableside Caesar salad cart we’re bringing back, with a built-in griddle to cook the garlic bread croutons to order. We’re also taking pride that we’re making all our bread, pasta, pizza, and gelato in-house. The Brickell crowd likes to drink. MS: We’re focusing on lower-alcohol cocktails [at Fi’lia], a whole spritz section, and then bottled cocktails in beautifully shaped bottles of all colors, poured tableside and finished with fresh ingredients. JA: The salted margarita is one of my favorite drinks. And the Sangria 2.0 and white wine list from Spain will be great with Bazaar Mar’s fish. What should people not expect? MS: The typical Italian restaurant— spaghetti and meatballs, veal scallopini, huge menus. JA: They should not expect what they expect from the Bazaar or their everyday fish restaurant.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY WORLD RED EYE
BY KATIE JACKSON
Scorpion leading lady Katharine McPhee kicked off her first-ever trip to the Magic City at Ocean Drive’s September-issue cover soirée at the Confidante Miami Beach hotel, where she arrived in jet-setting style in a sweet and sexy lacy white Zac Posen dress. The brunette bombshell and 2006 American Idol runner-up posed on the red carpet and greeted fans before stepping into the Confidante’s Crown Room to serenade lucky attendees with a special performance of Frank Sinatra’s “You Make Me Feel So Young” and “That’s Life.” “They’re songs I’ve been inspired by since I was a little kid,” said McPhee. Partygoers toasted her dazzling fall fashion cover with libations from SVEDKA Vodka and wines by Kim Crawford. Post-celebration, McPhee took in everything that Miami has to offer during a weekend of fun and relaxation, a rarity for the busy actress, singer, and philanthropist. The beauty perfected her tan poolside at the Confidante and on the beach (where paparazzi caught her bikini-clad in shots that ran on news sites and blogs across the world). Said McPhee, “My buddy and I swam in the warm ocean water—it feels like bathwater! I thoroughly enjoyed it.” When she wasn’t lounging in the Miami Beach sun, McPhee enjoyed decadent dinners at South Beach’s Prime 112 and nightlife impresario David Grutman’s Komodo in Brickell, and even checked out the Confidante’s popular pop-up The Salty Donut.

Longoria Bastón isn’t the type to do merely one thing at a time. So it should come as no surprise, then, that her interview with Ocean Drive is taking place in an airport lounge. The busy 41-year-old star—whose portrayal of feisty bombshell Gabrielle Solis from 2004 to 2012 on ABC’s hit series Desperate Housewives made her a pop-culture fixture—is en route to Moscow, where she’ll be appearing on behalf of the beauty brand L’Oréal. The spokesmodel gig represents just a tiny fraction of “Eva Inc.”: Her ever-expanding job description also includes producer, director, restaurateur, philanthropist, and fashion designer for The Limited. “Acting didn’t make me feel like I was using my full potential as a human,” she says of the evolution. “I’ve always been a super multitasker.” Last May, she added yet another title to the list: wife. After a three-year courtship, Longoria tied the knot with José “Pepe” Antonio Bastón, the 48-year-old president of Televisa, Latin America’s largest media company. The couple exchanged their sunset vows at his estate in the Mexican lakeside town of Valle de Bravo, as friends like Ricky Martin, Melanie Griffith, Mario Lopez, and Victoria Beckham—the bride’s closest pal and wedding dress designer—cheered them on. “Pepe and I are soul mates—I don’t even know how to explain it, because it’s like we’re two different sides of the same coin,” says Longoria. “He’s compassionate, kind, handsome—he’s everything I wanted and didn’t even know I wanted.” Granted, it was a long journey figuring out what she didn’t want. Longoria has been divorced twice, first from General Hospital heartthrob Tyler Christopher in 2004, and then from NBA player Tony Parker in 2011. The latter split was splashed across the tabloids accusing Parker of infidelity. Still, Longoria denies that her past left her with any lingering trust issues. “No,” she replies to questions about regrets. “I think every relationship is a path to where you are today. Every wrong turn led you to the spot where you are, so it wasn’t necessarily the wrong turn at the time. I wouldn’t change anything—never.” Admittedly, the spot where she has found herself does sound worth the wait. “When Pepe and I met, I said I didn’t ever want to get married again,” recalls Longoria. “He said, ‘Great, me neither.’ And here we are!” Bastón’s kids from his previous marriage—daughter Tali, 21, and 13-year-old twins Jose and Mariana—only sweetened the deal. “They are amazing children—I’m so happy to be part of their lives,” she says. Longoria is open to expanding the family further, but understandably reluctant to discuss the oft-broached topic of her pregnancy plans. “If it happens, it happens—if it’s meant to be, it would be a blessing,” she says. In the meantime, she has her various nests to feather. Longoria and Bastón mostly alternate between Los Angeles and Mexico, although she would prefer to log more hours in the Magic City, a place they seem to end up often. “If Hollywood were based in Miami, I would be in heaven. I love everything about it: what the humidity does for your hair and skin, all the Latin influences. You can get a café con leche on every corner!” she says. “In LA, I never go to the beach. Our place in Miami is on the beach, and it’s almost like it beckons you to come outside and exercise.” She attributes her slim figure to a mix of Pilates, SoulCycle, and running—plus healthy, home-cooked meals like her go-to roast chicken and salad. “There’s no secret formula—diet and exercise take work,” she says. “I’ve always
OCEANDRIVE.COM 175
had a good metabolism, but at some point, everyone’s stops. For me, it was at around 35. You eat a bowl of pasta, and you’re like, ‘Oh, this doesn’t just go away anymore.’” When she’s in Miami Beach, Longoria avoids driving around town, preferring to walk or bike to regular hangouts like SuViche on 16th Street. “It’s amazing Peruvian ceviche and sushi—I probably eat there twice a day, and they know my order by heart,” says Longoria. “My husband’s favorite restaurant in the world is Mr. Chow’s in Miami Beach. Not all Mr. Chow locations are created equal!” Her appreciation for the local flavors extends far beyond eateries. “Miami is such a diverse place—it’s beautiful that anywhere you go, you’ll hear different languages being spoken. It’s just really eclectic.” In case there were any doubt, Longoria places a premium on inclusiveness—which explains her decision to play such a prominent role in this year’s presidential election. “From the minute that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump announced their candidacy, it was clear to me that there’s only one person in the race who respects everybody,” she says. Longoria took the stage at the Democratic National Convention in July to convey that sentiment to millions of viewers. “It was the most nervous I’ve ever been,” she admits. “It’s a privilege and honor to have the entire country as an audience, so I thought long and hard about why anyone would want to hear from me.” Well, maybe because she actually knows what she’s talking about: Longoria earned a master’s degree in Chicano Studies in 2013—she hails from Mexican ancestry—and runs a foundation that fosters education initiatives for Hispanic women. In other words, she’s the perfect choice to address Trump’s characterizations of her community. “The fact that he uses the word ‘Latino’ to be synonymous with ‘illegal’ is a mistake,” says the Corpus Christi, Texas, native. “I’m ninth-generation American—I’m way more American than Donald Trump!” While it’s obvious that Trump’s words—he’s been quoted referring to Mexicans as “criminals” and “rapists”—have stung, Longoria refuses to dwell. “I have to turn my offense and anger into a vote, not just complain about it,” she says. Unlike some Americans, Longoria didn’t become pro-Hillary simply by virtue of being anti-Trump. She’s with her—and seems perplexed by the negative refrains that have dogged Clinton. “I have no idea why people don’t find Hillary likable,” she says. “I know her on a personal level, and she is one of the most likable, amazing, engaged, compassionate human beings. It’s a matter of pulling that out and letting everyone see it.” Besides, wonders Longoria, why is Clinton’s likability—or lack thereof—dominating the collective conversation in the first place? “I don’t want to go have a beer with Obama—I want him to run the country,” she says. “I look for quality in a leader.” Longoria has no trouble reading between the lines for possible motives behind the mud-slinging, either. “There’s a reason we haven’t had a female president in our history,” she says. “There is a gender bias in politics, in the workplace, and in the society—and to say there’s not is very naïve.” As the old saying about Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire goes—she did everything he did, except backwards and in high heels—the expectations for men and women are different. At this point, navigating the challenges of being a female in a power position is familiar territory for Longoria. “I don’t have a problem telling people if something’s not quite right, or

“
IT’S IN MY NATURE TO BE IN CHARGE.”

course-correcting—but it has to be done in the right way,” she says. “I’m cooperative, respectful, and very honest. Just because I’m a boss lady doesn’t mean I have to be a bitch.” She’s employed those skills to move seamlessly between careers: After Desperate Housewives’ final bow, she took a self-imposed breather from acting, serving as executive producer for four seasons of the Lifetime dramedy Devious Maids, among other behind-the-scenes projects. “In my head, I was always a director and producer—it’s in my nature to be in charge.” With her acting hiatus over—last season, she starred in the sitcom Telenovela, and has wrapped filming of the indie movie Refugio and the upcoming BBC miniseries Decline and Fall—these days Longoria enjoys taking turns on both sides of the camera. She also co-owns the restaurant Beso in Hollywood, and her latest endeavor, an eponymous clothing line for The Limited, launched in the fall. “That’s been a longtime dream of mine,” she says. “A lot of people don’t know that I sew.” Putting herself out there on so many platforms poses a certain risk—but Longoria has thick enough skin to handle the accompanying scrutiny. “I learned this from Hillary Clinton: Take criticism seriously, but not personally,” she says. “Whether it’s that someone doesn’t like a piece of clothing I design, or my acting, or my restaurant, it’s important to hear the complaint.” While Longoria has seemingly cracked the code for drowning out negative background noise, she acknowledges that for plenty of people—especially in the entertainment industry—that might not be so easy. “Luckily, I’ve never been on the receiving end of something really horrible, but a younger actor could be destroyed by the comments that you read online,” she says, expressing gratitude that her own rise to fame pre-dated the era of ubiquitous Internet trolls and vulgar emojis. “I’m glad that there was no Twitter or Instagram when Housewives started, for sure. It was definitely a different world back then. Social media can be overwhelming.” Longoria’s approach to posting would be best described as strategic. Where does she land on the oversharing spectrum from, say, zero to Kardashian? “I don’t really have rules for myself—it’s just common sense,” she says. “I have a very private husband, so I don’t really post with him, and of course I don’t post the kids for security reasons. But I share a lot, and I use it for charity and my clothing line. It’s a great tool when used correctly.” Recently, Longoria let fans behind the curtain by releasing some wince-inducing footage on Snapchat of herself undergoing tattoo removal. “Oh my God, it’s such a painful process, I needed to document it for people who are thinking of getting tattoos!” she says. She’d already had a few mementos from her marriage to Parker successfully zapped off, and was ready to erase the last remaining vestiges of ink, however innocuous. “It’s like, ‘What was I thinking when I got this star on my wrist?’” she muses. “I removed all of my tattoos—I didn’t want them anymore”—proof that inside and out, Longoria is forging ahead with a clean slate.

Amid Miami’s sizzling culinary scene, five local chefs are adding fire to the heat by crafting their own paths and distinguished (distinctive) cuisine. photography by GARY JAMES
IMPERFECTLY PERFECT Michael Lewis honed his technique working with some of the country’s top chefs—David Bouley, Eric Ripert, Jean-Georges Vongerichten—before opening Miami favorite Zuma. Now, he’s doing his own thing at Kyu in Wynwood, pulling Asian flavors through the smoke and fire of American barbecue. by david rosendorf
What was the idea of Kyu born out of? I’ve always loved Asian ingredients. I also started falling in love with Americanstyle barbecue. It dawned on me: Why can’t I do both? Like your short rib dish. I love the traditional Korean kalbi. But it’s not the same as a slow, melt-in-yourmouth, whole short rib that you get from American-style cooking. We come in at about 7 am to get the fires going. If I’m lucky, I’ll have the short rib and brisket ready for dinner. Has family-style dining become the norm? It’s the way I like to eat. I want people to be sitting around, talking about the news, grabbing with their hands. It might get a little messy, and the discussion might get a little heated, like at home with your family. There’s a quote on your website about “finding the perfection in imperfection.” What does that mean? It’s the Japanese concept of “wabi sabi,” or accepting transience and imperfection. It encompasses Wynwood, a warehouse district that was maybe not the nicest neighborhood for a time period, and it’s not perfect—it’s rough, but beautiful. We use the same approach. How does it feel to be a top-rated chef at such a young age? It started at Jean-Georges as chef de cuisine. We got four stars from The New York Times, the Michelin Guide was coming out, and I was like, “Holy crap, I’m 25, and I may get three Michelin stars.” 251 NW 25th St., Miami, 786-5770150; kyumiami.com

CULINARY KNOCKOUT Hailing from a family of boxers that includes a bronze medalist in the 1972 Summer Olympics, Bryan Rojas opted out of the ring and into the kitchen. At the young age of 28—and with experiences from Michael Tusk’s Michelin-starred Quince (where he knocked on the door one day looking for a job) to Cotogna in San Francisco to staging in New York City at Daniel and Estela—he’s championing his own path as Fooq’s executive chef. by lee brian schrager
How does a Colombian-born, Miami-bred chef wind up cooking Persian-inspired cuisine? It was a complete surprise. When I did a test meal, I had no idea what Persian food was. Three weeks later, I was reading about ancient Persian cooking in Najmieh Batmanglij’s book Food of Life and realized the cuisine was timeless. You worked at Gigi’s, Cecconi’s, and Cypress Room locally. Any common denominators? Sourcing from local farmers was a big focus at Gigi’s and Cypress Room. Working under Roel Alcudia (at Cypress Room), my approach to selecting ingredients was taken to another level. What’s been your biggest challenge at Fooq’s? Not having a walk-in [refrigerator]. I order every day—the menu reflects the freshest available ingredients.
What are you most proud of since you’ve come on board? We recently put in a Japanese binchotan grill. [Before,] the steak frites didn’t sell that well; it’s now one of our most popular dishes. Speaking of popular dishes— what else? The bucatini amatriciana, Persian lamb shank, Fooq’s burger, roasted half-chicken, and khoresh, a Persian stew that changes daily. Favorite ingredient? Basmati rice. It’s so aromatic and a Persian essential. Any new items in the works? We might add some duck, quail—maybe figs, cherries, too. I can’t give away all the secrets! Does the menu reflect your style of cooking? I’m still young and have much to learn about my own style. I grew up eating mangoes and walnuts from trees in Flamingo Park, and now we have this evolving food scene. 1035 N. Miami Ave., Miami, 786-536-2749; fooqsmiami.com
Braised duck leg in crépinette with charred Brussels sprouts, ginger, and golden raisin vinaigrette is the latest and most tantalizing addition to Fooq’s seasonal menu. opposite page: Executive Chef Bryan Rojas pansizzling duck leg.

GOING ROGUE Born in Hialeah with Havana roots, Michael Beltran is as Cuban-American and irresistibly rebellious as they come, much like the food he’s cooking up at his first solo restaurant and exodus from the world of fine dining, Ariete. by carla torres
You trained under some impressive local chefs. How has that shaped you and your food? Norman [Van Aken] is very outside the box, in a good way, with this fun, 186 OCEANDRIVE.COM
reckless-abandon approach. I kind of adapted that from him. New-world cuisine is a big part of what we do, but here, we approach American-style food that out-of-the-box way. Technique you’d never give up? Wood grilling. Cooking with fire and coals connects me to childhood because of La Caja China [the pig-roasting box]; my grandfather built an oven out of a mango tree once. What are some Ariete staples? Short rib and eggs Benedict are our top sellers. Our market salad and bacon game is super strong. And you either love or hate the tuna conserva. People don’t understand why it’s not raw or
with wasabi and mayo. For us, it’s about trying to hone down to three components. When you get into five or seven ingredients, a dish loses soul. What sets Ariete apart? It’s not stuffy and pretentious, but the food is elevated. Tables are set properly with wine glasses. We play Outkast and Biggie and Janis Joplin. We don’t sandbag anything; everything is cooked à la minute. I’m loud, boisterous, and like to have a good time. I wanted Ariete to reflect that. You can have pig tails, oxtail nuggets, and drink a lot of wine, or you can have a fine fancy meal. What’s the hardest thing about going solo?
Everything. Business. Dealing with a dishwasher who does not show up, so you have to be the dishwasher. Two cooks don’t like each other, so you sit there and Dr. Phil them. What are you doing for brunch? I’m a sucker for nostalgia. We’re making our own Cuban tostada (with local butter and house-rendered Florida lard for the bread), proper café con leche, smoked chicken croquettes, and house pastrami empanadas. Ventanita style, but good. Describe Ariete in three words. Honest. Comforting. Fun. 3540 Main Hwy., Coconut Grove, 305-640-5862; arietemiami.com
Ariete’s Michael Beltran (opposite page) putting the finishing touches on a pink-at-the-center venison with twice-baked potatoes and classic sauce Diane (shown here). “It’s all about the seasoning and really being involved at the pick-up that makes this dish so involved yet so simple,” he says.

SUN GODDESS New Jersey native Cindy Hutson’s Caribbean-meets-Miami “Cuisine of the Sun” has been shining brightly for two-plus decades since she opened Norma’s on the Beach on Lincoln Road, Coral Gables’ long-standing Ortanique on the Mile, and now Zest, in the heart of downtown. by lee klein
Describe your cooking philosophy. It’s about ethnic flavor profiles and being culturally diverse. That’s what I try to shine through, so no matter where people are from, they can relate to items on the menu. What was your inspiration for Zest? Ortanique has been established for 18
years, and customers don’t want me to change the menu too often. So I’m like, “Yes! A new canvas to paint on!” Greatest attribute as a chef? My palate. In three words, how would you describe your cuisine? Simple. Flavorful. Vibrant. Zest is to Ortanique what… A child is to their parents. What exactly does “Cuisine of the Sun” mean? Anything under the sun that is seasonal and fresh. What’s been the biggest hit so far? Our sexy 16-ounce tomahawk pork chop with a simple chimichurri that, depending upon season, can be based on Asian litchi or summer fruits like peach or mango.
Culinary trend you stay away from? I’ve always resisted the molecular thing; I wasn’t good in chemistry. I’m much better at cooking naturally, off the cuff. What’s something people may not know about Zest? It’s a great place to throw a party. The outside patio is amazing. Or that we have rotating daily shawarmas at Zest MRKT. Song that fits Zest best? “Stir It Up” by Bob Marley. Best advice you’ve received? I once attended a seminar with Jacques Pépin, and he said the best thing you can do for your career is to eat at other people’s restaurants—people you admire. And don’t ever think your dish is an original dish; somebody’s already done it before. 200 S. Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 305-3749378; zestmiami.com
FROM CUBA, WITH LOVE Havana-born Odell Torres, executive chef at Larios on the Beach since 2013, is set to helm Estefan Kitchen, the Design District’s first Cuban restaurant, from Gloria and Emilio Estefan. by lee klein
What was your first kitchen job? In Cuba, at Le Select, a French restaurant and nightclub, which influenced my technique and [taught me] the discipline and to respect each procedure. In three words, describe what Cuban food means to you. Passion. Taste. Tradition. What is your mission at Estefan Kitchen? To continue the tradition of authentic Cuban cooking, but to elevate the quality and flavors. How do Larios on the Beach and Estefan Kitchen differ from other Cuban restaurants? Everything is made here. All our products are fresh: Our fish comes in every day, we never freeze any of our meats, and we buy locally. We use Wagyu beef from near central Florida. The preparation is authentic, but with a modern touch. Potential menu hit at Estefan Kitchen and drink at the bar? Short rib croquetas. For a drink, the Deluxe Mojito, made with aged Botran Reserva rum. We make the best mojitos in town. Can’t-miss brunch dish? Brioche bun with lechon asado, cheese, guava, organic honey, and truffle oil. Lee Brian Schrager included it in his book America’s Best Breakfasts. What’s the best compliment you’ve received from a diner? The most recent was from Antonio Banderas. He said our croqueta was just as good as, if not better than, the croquetas he would eat in Spain. First famous person you cooked for? It was the first party I ever cooked on my own at Le Select, for about 400 people. Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell were there. Ideal meal? Lechon asado, moros, and tostones. Favorite American food? Rib-eye steak with mashed potatoes. Or barbecued ribs—the ones at Flanigan’s, for me, are perfect. 140 NE 39th Street, Suite PC 133, Miami

HERE WHEN IT COMES TO SHOPPING, ALL ROADS (AND WALLETS) LEAD TO MIAMI. by ROBYN A. FRIEDMAN
PHOTOGRAPHY BY BAARD LUNDE/TRUNK ARCHIVE

WHAT ARE THE BEST CITIES IN THE WORLD FOR LUXURY SHOPPING? Paris, New York, and Milan would certainly be on everyone’s list. But don’t forget Miami. Whether it’s the Design District, Bal Harbour Shops, Aventura Mall, the Shops at Merrick Park, or the brand-new Brickell City Centre, a stop in the Greater Miami area has become de rigueur for affluent shoppers from around the world. The reasons are obvious. Prestigious events such as Art Basel Miami Beach, Design Miami, and the Miami International Boat Show regularly draw well-heeled travelers to the area, but local residents also create demand for luxury goods: According to the 2016 Knight Frank Wealth Report, Miami’s population includes 29,500 millionaires, 1,310 multimillionaires (those with more than $10 million), and 469 ultra-high-net-worth individuals (more than $30 million)—numbers forecast to increase by 32 percent by 2025. The Miami Downtown Development Authority reported earlier this year that the retail market in downtown Miami alone saw nearly $4.5 billion in revenue in 2014 and will usher in 1.4 million square feet of new leasable retail space over the next three years, driven largely by megaprojects like Brickell City Centre and Miami Worldcenter—a 22 percent increase in available retail space in the area. Experts say there’s plenty of pent-up demand from residents and visitors alike, however. Restaurants in particular are highly desired; in 2015 alone, over 40 new restaurants opened up downtown, with more than a dozen high-end eateries debuting this year. “Miami is a gateway city, and it attracts people from all over the world,” says Michael Comras, president and chief executive officer of the Miami Beach-based Comras Company, which focuses on retail development and leasing. “It’s a very cosmopolitan city—into fashion, art, and design—and it has become one of the great cities in our country.” Here are a few reasons why everyone wants to be a Miami shopper.
NEW IN TOWN:
BRICKELL CITY CENTRE
The newest addition to Miami’s retail market is the 500,000-square-foot shopping complex at Brickell City Centre, a massive mixed-use project from Swire Properties and its retail codevelopers Whitman Family Development and Simon Property Group. Opening this month, the open-air shopping center includes retailers such as Victoria’s Secret, Suitsupply, Stitched, and Pinko, which join more than 80 other shops and eateries that have already been announced. The anchor tenants include Cinemex and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as an immense Italian food hall.
“The opening of Brickell City Centre’s retail component is the grand finale for the first phase of the project, with much more to come in phase two,” says Debora Overholt, Swire’s vice president of retail. “The retail center will bring an unprecedented mix of brands from the world’s top fashion capitals to position Brickell City Centre as the trailblazer of today’s modern shopping experience to the millions of international visitors, residents, and daytime workers seeking quality products in Miami.” 799 Brickell Plz., Ste. 802, Miami, 305-371-6888; brickellcitycentre.com

ALFRESCO EXPERIENCE:
I N T E R N AT I O N A L H U B :
DESIGN DISTRICT Known to shoppers worldwide, the Miami Design District offers innovative fashion, design, and dining experiences. Owned by the real estate company Dacra (founded by Craig Robins) and L Real Estate, the Miami Design District is constantly evolving. Need proof? Within the past few months, Alice + Olivia, Ahana Yoga Studio, Loro Piana, and Sevan Biçakçi have opened there, and this month Tod’s, Yves Saint Laurent, Cos,
Tory Burch, and MM6 will arrive. In early December, look for a new concept from the café The Smile, its first restaurant outside New York City, as well as a finedining Cuban restaurant called Estefan Kitchen from Emilio and Gloria Estefan. “Over the past few decades, Miami has emerged as a top international destination for travelers seeking immersive, multicultural experiences,” says Robins. “The Miami Design District cele-
brates our tropical lifestyle, our profound commitment to contemporary art, and the blend of architecture, design, and culture that defines Miami. The same distinct sense of place inspiring luxury brands to create clothing and accessories exclusive to the Miami Design District is also creating a truly memorable experience for shoppers.” 3841 NE Second Ave., Miami, 305-722-7100; miami designdistrict.net
LEADERS IN LUXURY LIFESTYLE: LALIQUE The Lalique boutique in Bal Harbour, which opened in 2013, was the brand’s first prototype lifestyle shop in the country to showcase its five pillars: crystal objets d’art, interiors and architecture, jewelry, fragrance,

and art. “Miami is a valuable market to Lalique as it embodies a rich Art Deco heritage and spirit—that is the heartbeat of the brand,” says Maz Zouhairi, president and chief executive officer of Lalique North America.
“The tremendous explosion of design and international architectural projects in the city has affirmed its growing stature as a global capital.” Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., #103, Bal Harbour; lalique.com

The open-air Bal Harbour Shops is considered one of the most exclusive shopping destinations in the world. Home to luxury retailers such as Chanel, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Prada, Saint Laurent, Valentino, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue, it was named the most productive mall on earth last year by CNBC, with sales per square foot of $3,070. “From the moment the customer arrives on the property to the moment she leaves, we strive to create a bit of a refuge from the outside world—a shopping sanctuary that simultaneously stimulates the senses and soothes the soul,” says Matthew Whitman Lazenby, president and chief executive officer of Whitman Family Development, the mall’s owner. New at Bal Harbour Shops is the luxury shoe brand Aquazzura, whose store opened in October. Gianvito Rossi, a Milan-based footwear designer known for his blend of modernity and traditional Italian craftsmanship, will open a boutique mid-November. American fashion designer Phillip Lim will join the roster at the mall at the end of December. And there’s even more to come: Whitman Family Development plans to expand the mall by adding Florida’s first flagship Barneys New York, upgrading Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, and bringing in new restaurants and boutiques. 9700 Collins Ave., Bal Harbour, 305-866-0311; balharbourshops.com

THE SCOOP BROKER MICHAEL COMRAS OFFERS THE LOWDOWN ON RETAIL TRENDS IN MIAMI, AS WELL AS THE LATEST ON NEW STORE OPENINGS.
What’s coming to the area that’s new and exciting? Le Pain Quotidien, an international restaurant/bakery concept, will open its first Florida location in Coconut Grove in the spring, Comras says. Already operating in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC, Connecticut, and Philadelphia, the restaurant offers freshly baked bread and a communal concept. Scotch & Soda, which features the latest trends in fashion for men, women, and kids, will relocate from the Design District to Wynwood, near Coyo Taco, Comras reports. “Wynwood is trying to be more of a fashion neighborhood, so a tenant like Scotch & Soda coming in really speaks to the future there.” A 30,000-square-foot multistory Niketown is set to open soon at Lincoln Road Mall on the corner that previously housed WilliamsSonoma and Pottery Barn. It will include a rooftop basketball court so shoppers can test out the latest sneaker styles.

What are you seeing? The localization of retail and the rise of self-sustaining local shopping districts such as Wynwood, Flagler, and the Design District. “It used to be that when one area was strong and another got stronger, it would suck the life out of that area—like what happened many years ago when South Beach got hot and sucked the life out of Coconut Grove,” says Comras, president and CEO of the Comras Company. “Now, because these little communities have gotten so dense due to all the new condos being built, they’re all self-sustaining. So you’re seeing places like Coconut Grove become a live/work/play area and a tremendous resurgence there. The densification of Miami is leading to localization.”
MIXED-USE MEGACENTER: MIAMI WORLDCENTER
The developers of Miami Worldcenter are creating a pedestrian-oriented shopping area at the 27-acre mixed-use project. This retail promenade will be surrounded by residential towers, a hotel and exposition center, and numerous dining and entertainment venues. “The future of retail is very different from what we know today,” says Peggy Fucci, chief executive officer of
OneWorld Properties, who is handling the sales and marketing of the condominiums at Paramount Miami Worldcenter. “Buyers globally want convenience and easy access. A mixed retail environment offers quality dining, entertainment, and, most important, convenience, while the residential component at Miami Worldcenter offers the most important amenity: walkability.” miamiworldcenter.com

In May, Aventura Mall’s owners began construction on a new three-level, 315,000-square-foot retail wing and parking garage, a major expansion of a mall that’s already home to more than 300 of the world’s most iconic retailers, nearly a dozen restaurants, an interactive playground, and an IMAX theater. The new wing, slated to open in 2017, will include several
destination restaurants, more than three dozen stores, a new food hall with indoor/ outdoor seating, a rooftop terrace, and a VIP concierge area for private dinners and events.

MODERN MOVES LOCAL ARCHITECT RALPH CHOEFF IS TRANSFORMING THE VENETIAN ISLANDS WITH AN EXPANDING ROSTER OF LUXURIOUS TROPICAL MODERN HOMES.
PHOTOGRAPHY BY CLEAR PHOTOGRAPHY LLC
BY JEAN NAYAR
Architect Ralph Choeff has come a long way since he started his career in New York City in the late 1970s. “My first job after I graduated from Pratt involved crawling into basements of tenements and coming up with floor plans for Section 8 housing,” he recalls. A few years later, he moved to Miami, got a break designing a modern house for a prominent developer, and has been a favorite of
celebrities and CEOs in South Florida for his signature take on residential design ever since. A de facto founder of what he calls “Tropical Modernism,” Choeff and his firm, Choeff Levy Fischman Architecture + Design, have designed hundreds of homes from Coral Gables to Miami Beach to Tampa for A-list clients, including Matt Damon, Cher, Barry Gibb,
and Alex Rodriguez. Today, his company is a dominant force in the gradual transformation of the Venetian Islands with the design of almost 50 luxurious newly completed or under-construction modern homes. One of his firm’s latest accomplishments, Villa Venetian on the Venetian Causeway, exemplifies what so many glitterati find appealing in its work.
The entrance of Villa Venetian. Ralph Choeff turned the former Mediterranean-influenced spec house on South Venetian Way into a showcase of Tropical Modernism.

SPACE ABODE & BEYOND “Tour boats often stop to admire the house from the bay, and observers are amazed by the water cascading over the edge of the rooftop pool,” says the architect.
“It’s a smart house that can be controlled by a cellphone or iPad, which enables you to manage energy consumption,” says Choeff.
“THE INSPIRATION MOSTLY CAME FROM THE SITE AND THE MAGNIFICENT VIEWS OF DOWNTOWN, THE PORT OF MIAMI, AND THE BAY.” —ralph choeff Floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom open up the room to the outside and the bay beyond.
202 OCEANDRIVE.COM
What were the client’s directives for Villa Venetian? The client, Jerry Goldfarb [a managing partner of CleverLight Media], had purchased a three-story spec house on South Venetian Way with Mediterranean-style features and wanted a completely different layout and style. He asked us to open up the floor plan and infuse the home with our Tropical Modern style. What was the inspiration for the design of the home? The inspiration mostly came from the site and the magnificent, incredible views of downtown Miami, the Port of Miami, and the bay. Another major influence for the home came from the lightness of materials and clean lines of Midcentury Modern architecture. We completely gutted the house, redid the exterior, transformed the entry, opened up the interior to respond to the client’s specific needs, and introduced vast openings that let in the light of the southern exposure and created a connection with the outdoors.
Among the unique features of the house is a ribbon fireplace in the family room, along with an adjacent bar.
What are some of the home’s unique features? One special feature is the swimming pool on the rooftop with an infinity edge that allows water to cascade over a face of glass that you can see through to and from the bay. We also introduced a series of reflecting ponds and water features around the exterior, along with steps that extend over the pond at the entry and a new cantilevered staircase inside. Paul Fischman, a principal in our firm, worked with Goldfarb on interior features, such as a bar area adjacent to the family room, a ribbon fireplace, and spa-inspired baths. A home theater was another special request of Goldfarb, who’s also a collector of guitars. We created a den next to the pool where he displays his collection and houses his DJ equipment and gathers with friends to party and entertain. How does your work reflect what’s next for modern design in Miami? During the Bauhaus period, the mantra was “less is more,” but people often feel the architecture of that era was cold. We use a lot of wood and stones that make our modern designs warmer. Technology also changes architecture, and windows and doors made of new impact-resistant glass allow us to use glass in a more expansive way that brings in light and makes a seamless connection with the outdoors. 1374 B South Venetian Way, Miami Beach, 786-253-4912; villavenetian.com

HIGH LIFE THE QUIET BEAUTY OF CORAL GABLES EXPANDS WITH A LUXURIOUS GEM IN THE HEART OF MERRICK PARK. BY ROBYN A. FRIEDMAN
Roger Development Group has made its mark on South Florida, transforming neighborhoods and creating new life in areas that were previously languishing. Founded in 1955, the firm is led by father-son team Oscar Roger and Oscar Roger Jr., whose latest venture is Laguna House, a 13-unit boutique condominium at Merrick Park in Coral Gables, with 3,000- to 6,250-squarefoot units starting at $1.875 million. Roger Development has been operating in South Florida for many years. Why have you succeeded when others have come and gone? Oscar Roger: We’re a conservative company. The key to our success has always been the locations where we purchase our properties. We target very exclusive areas such as Coral Gables, which is more of a local market. Our target here is empty nesters, and they’re local. Oscar Roger Jr. : Choosing the right piece of property can overcome certain trends in the market. Delivering a product that is unique in a market that is not saturated helps overcome obstacles. What is the current status of Laguna House? Oscar: We plan to start construction during the first quarter of 2017. We have targeted completion for 18 months after that, but it’s a small boutique building, so we should be able to complete it in 12 to 14 months. Coral Gables is an undiscovered gem. A lot of people don’t know it, but this is a very special place.
You could have built many more units at the site for Laguna House. Why just 13? Oscar: We wanted to keep it boutique and have very large units because there’s a market for that. People who are leaving their 5,000-square-foot houses want to make a lateral move and need the space. Oscar Jr. : The name of the project is Laguna House. We wanted to make this a home in the sky for the buyers. What does the future hold for Roger Development? Oscar: We have another project in Merrick Park that will also be luxury, and yet another that we’re going to launch soon close by. We truly believe in the Coral Gables area. 256 Altara Ave., Coral Gables, 305-444-4777; lagunahousecoralgables.com

Consider the facts: According to a new report from the Downtown Development Authority, downtown Miami’s full-time population is up 32 percent since 2010 and 150 percent since 2000. Half of that number is made up of young professionals under the age of 44. So whether you get your daily dose of caffeine at neon-clad coffee shop All Day (alldaymia.com), watch the Heat take on the competition at the AmericanAirlines Arena, grab dinner at local favorites PB Station (pbstation.com), NIU Kitchen (niukitchen.com), or Fooq’s (fooqsmiami.com), or party till sunrise with Drake or Calvin Harris at 24/7 showclub E11EVEN (11miami.com), there are always things to do in downtown. And especially now, since the luxuriously trendy hotel ME Miami and swanky steakhouse/club hybrid STK have taken up residence. Ocean Drive sat down with the hotel’s general manager, Olivier Servat, and Suzanna Valdez, vice president of advancement for the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, to discuss downtown’s transformation and exceptional offerings.

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 has such a glow and appears easy- there is no marketing of heavily advertised products 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.

To celebrate the intersection between high design and fine art, Ocean Drive teams up with French furniture house Roche Bobois this year to host what promises to be one of the most spirited and talked-about events of the Art Basel season. “It’s always been in the DNA of the brand to align with the fashion world,” says Julien Bigan, communications director for Roche Bobois in the US. “But this year, we’re looking at the creative links with street art and classical music to elevate the brand to another level.” Inspired by an artistic collaboration the company launched in Belgium earlier this year, Roche Bobois asked six artists and celebrities to transform its iconic Furtif desk into singular pieces of art, which will be showcased at the exclusive event at the retailer’s temporary warehouse space in Wynwood. Designed by French furniture designer Daniel Rode, the angular, clean-lined desk looks like a sculptural work of art in itself and serves as an ideal canvas “for the creative expression of the artists and celebrities,” says Bigan. The resulting pieces will be auctioned off through an online platform with

“THE WAVE CUT TECHNIQUE TOOK 10 YEARS TO DEVELOP, AND ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE ABLE TO SKILLFULLY USE IT.” —NADJA SWAROVSKI

After the successful launches of Atelier Swarovski jewelry and accessories, Swarovski has added another beautiful branch to its more-than120-year-old empire with the debut of Atelier Swarovski Home. Says Nadja Swarovski, the company’s head of corporate communications and design services, “We wanted to translate the forward-thinking design DNA and technical expertise within our brand, as well as the energy of the creative talent, into a collection of luxurious and covetable objects.” For the debut, the company collaborated with nine of the world’s leading designers on crystal objects that are remarkable for their artistry and technologically advanced design. Included in the collection is a chessboard combining maps of Manhattan and Milan, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, as well as a series of sculptural candle holders from Kim Thomé. Most noteworthy is the collection’s Crista centerpiece by architect Zaha Hadid, who died unexpectedly in March. It utilizes Swarovski’s groundbreaking Wave Cut technique, which “combines cutting-edge computer technology with mechanical engineering to cut curved forms in crystal,” Swarovski explains. “The Wave Cut technique took 10 years to develop, and only two people in the world are able to skillfully use the machine,” she adds. “We were all so heartbroken by Zaha Hadid’s passing, but it seems fitting that she was the first person to use this new technology with one of the final pieces she produced.” atelierswarovski.com

Using lacquer to contrast textures such as raw silk, stone, and leather can produce an unexpected accent and a fresh, contemporary look, says Miami interior designer Fanny Haim. “Today, lacquer also provides protection. A textured gesso finish with lacquer on top can be very glamorous.” Having spent most of her career in residential properties, Haim is now becoming more involved with public spaces, like Château
Beach Residences in Sunny Isles Beach. Lacquer was a key element in the design of the lobby, where she clad walls in ribbon mahogany with lacquer finish and high-gloss steel accents. Haim is also working on Surfside’s Fendi Château, using lacquered pieces from the Italian fashion house that impart glamour and contrast with leather, travertine, and linen.

1. TITO’S HANDMADE VODKA
2. BRUGAL EXTRA DRY RUM
3. PATRON SILVER
Tito’s Handmade Vodka is America’s Original Craft Vodka. In 1997, Bert “Tito” Beveridge, now a 50-something geophysicist, obtained the first legal permit to distill in Texas and created Tito’s Handmade Vodka. Tito distills his corn-based vodka using old-fashioned copper pot stills and the vodka is naturally Gluten-Free.
Brugal is smoother and less sweet than ordinary rums due to a continuous distillation process and unique cask aging policy. Our rum can be enjoyed neat or as part of any cocktail.
Showcasing the versatility of Patrón tequila, Miami bartender Bettina Barnoczki crafts the perfect margarita.
Tito’s Greyhound · 1½ oz of Tito’s Handmade Vodka · 3 oz grapefruit juice Pour Tito’s Handmade Vodka over ice, fill with grapefruit juice (we prefer fresh squeezed), and garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Visit titosvodka.com
