ARTIST CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS. DEVELOPER MAY CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

FRONT RUNNER Bird of Paradise: Miami Design Shop’s massive, kaleidoscopic flamingo has become one of the Magic City’s most snapped works of art.

FLAMINGOIN’ AROUND KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR SOUTH FLORIDA’S UNOFFICIAL MASCOT PARADING THE STREETS OF MIAMI.

If you’ve been wondering about the mammoth flamingo that has landed in the Snapchat and Instagram stories of Miami locals and A-list visitors (including Floyd Mayweather), here’s your answer. The elusive 25-foot neon bird—which debuted in Wynwood during Art Basel and has since

36 OCEANDRIVE.COM

made appearances at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival and the Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival—was hatched in the artistic minds of Stephen Shaw and Andres Rosquete, lead designers at the Miami Design Shop. Founded by their close friend Matt Root, the shop

describes itself as a “multidimensional creative lab.” “The flamingo is our logo, and we wanted to bring it to life,” says Rosquete. “The idea was to inspire others and make art fun.” The designing duo bolted the bird onto a scissor lift and added color-changing

LED strips that light up at night. The shop, which is based in Wynwood’s latest extension, Allapattah, is responsible for infusing the 305 with ingenious designs and installations, including the pyramid for the inaugural edition of the music, art, and technology festival III Points and the logo for

the Midtown dining destination Fooq’s. “It’s a great feeling when we see that reaction,” says Shaw about the excitement generated by their larger-than-life geometric depiction of Miami’s spirit animal. “It’s the driving force of why we do what we do.”

WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME LEGENDARY ROCKERS U2 HEADLINE A SOLD-OUT CONCERT AT HARD ROCK STADIUM TO MARK THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE JOSHUA TREE.

When their fifth studio album hit record stores in 1987, its success “transformed U2 into the biggest band on the planet,” according to Rolling Stone. The Joshua Tree went to number one around the world, selling more than 25 million copies and catapulting Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. into the rock god category. The band’s subsequent tour saw acts like the BoDeans,

38 OCEANDRIVE.COM

The Pogues, and B.B. King open for them in massive venues such as the Pontiac Silverdome, the Meadowlands Arena, and Miami’s own Orange Bowl—following a fabled live set atop a Los Angeles liquor store. In all, U2 put on 111 shows in 13 countries. Thirty years later, the group will make a triumphant return to Miami as part of The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 with a

sure-to-be-epic June 11 performance at Hard Rock Stadium. A capacity crowd of close to 70,000 will undoubtedly sing along to Joshua Tree classics like “Where the Streets Have No Name,” “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” “With or Without You,” “Bullet the Blue Sky”— and that’s just the first four songs on the album. The Irish rockers are practically regulars in

South Florida, with their Zoo TV, PopMart, Elevation, and 360° tours having marched through storied local venues like the Miami Arena and AmericanAirlines Arena over the past three decades. They’ve also been known to frolic on the beach between concerts, evading (or at least trying to) the paparazzi. Still haven’t found what you’re looking for?

Starting June 2, U2 diehards can purchase a special 30th-anniversary edition of The Joshua Tree featuring a recording of one of the band’s 1987 shows at Madison Square Garden, B-sides from the original singles, and an 84-page hardback book of unseen personal photographs shot by The Edge.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Miami never ceases to amaze me, and I’m sure I’m not alone. Case in point: Anyone who was in the Miami Design District last month when we shot our annual Women of Influence feature, “Wonder Women,” got to watch as our photographer, cast, and crew posed, shimmied, and shone through a full day of gorgeous fashion set against an impeccable backdrop. If you were one of the lucky shoppers taking a stroll, posing for a selfie (true story!), or taking fashion photos with our very own woman of influence Karolína Kurková stopping to give you pointers or shout positive affirmations at you, then you got to see the best of what Miami has to offer. Yes, only in Miami can you pose for a shot and have a world-famous supermodel walk by in the middle of her own photo shoot. After shooting Kurková’s feature, as we headed down the escalators, we ran into none other than multiGrammy-winning music producer Emilio Estefan taking a meeting outside his new restaurant, Estefan Kitchen. I snapped a photo of the

super producer and supermodel along with legendary music producer Rudy Pérez and the conductor for the Miami Symphony Orchestra, Eduardo Marturet, which Design District visionary and creator Craig Robins then reposted on Instagram, calling it “A Great Miami Moment.” Not to mention it was blue skies and 80 degrees. Who better to anchor this issue of Ocean Drive—a great Miami moment in itself—than another woman of influence, Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell? After leading the charge in one of the biggest cult-following TV shows of our time, she’s ready to break out onto a new path, breathing new life into her skyrocketing career. And speaking of breathing, with this, our annual May/June double issue, we take a bit of a breather, too, until July. Plenty of sun, ocean, and blue skies to soak up in the meantime. Enjoy the read.

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

Summer is fast approaching, and you know what that means: an entire season of endless fun in the Magic City sun—as if we didn’t already have enough fun (or sun) year-round. What better way to kick off such an exciting time than with this very special double issue, and we’re thrilled to have actress, author, social-media maven, and Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell grace the cover. With more than 16 million followers on Instagram alone, Mitchell is the epitome of the influential millennial, and we’re honored to be able to catch up with her. While we’re on the topic of successful and inspirational women, this issue also marks the fourth edition of our Women of Influence feature, “Wonder Women.” The six accomplished women we’ve included—from leading businesswomen to philanthropists and top TV personalities—are not only fierce forces; they’re also fulfilling their dreams while mentoring and motivating others along the way. We could not be more proud to share their success stories with you. In between flipping through the pages of this issue, I encourage you to make your way over to the Phillip and

Patricia Frost Museum of Science’s brand-new, highly anticipated superfacility at Museum Park, in the heart of downtown Miami. For more than 65 years, the museum has provided both children and adults with educational programs coupled with endless amounts of fun. And now, starting on May 8, you can enjoy the long-awaited multidimensional scientific institution’s ultramodern planetarium, innovation center, exploration center, and 500,000gallon shark-filled Gulf Stream Aquarium (and, of course, the beloved monthly laser shows will be back and better than ever). So before the temperature reaches 100 degrees and our schedules become jam-packed with events (including the eagerly awaited Swim Week, hitting our shores in July), be sure to go out and explore all of the excitement happening any and every day in our city this month. I know I sure will. Stay cool...

WITHOUT WHOM THIS ISSUE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE...

ROBYN A. FRIEDMAN

BRETT SOKOL

RANDALL SLAVIN

JON WARECH

Writer Robyn A. Friedman has been covering the real estate and housing industries for more than two decades. She has written for The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and Realtor.com, among other outlets. In this issue, Friedman highlights the best of Brickell, including hot spots, out-of-thisworld amenities, and on-the-rise projects. How did you get into writing about real estate? It was kind of a natural segue for me. I previously practiced real estate law, so I have a lot of experience in the industry. When I practiced law, I was also writing on the side and had a column in my local newspaper. When I moved to Florida, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to swap my vocation (law) and my avocation (writing). What else do you love to write about? I also love writing about hospitality and travel, consumer technology (I’m a gadget-holic!), and pets (I’m a volunteer for a dog rescue organization).

Ocean Drive’s arts editor, Brett Sokol has also covered the city for The New York Times, New York magazine, and Slate. He breaks down the must-see art shows of the season in “Creative Calling.” Which art-world event are you most looking forward to this summer? A show of new work from Miami’s own Robert Chambers at the Emerson Dorsch gallery. For several decades, Chambers has been creating mechanized sculptures and installations containing rich intellectual layers hidden beneath playful aesthetics—all with a bit of actual physical danger if you’re not careful when engaging with them. A bit like Miami itself. Did you notice any common themes among this summer’s exhibitions? Summertime used to be the creative doldrums for our corner of the art world: a mix of hodgepodge group shows and ho-hum traveling exhibitions. No more. Just as Miami at large keeps hopping through the rainy season, so does the art scene.

Born in Hollywood, California, Randall Slavin was working a dead-end job in a gas station when he wandered into a local photography studio and struck up a friendship with the owner, who took the young Mr. Slavin under his wing and taught him some photography basics. Since then, Slavin’s photography has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, GQ, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and many other publications. He shot Ocean Drive’s cover star, actress Shay Mitchell. What was your inspiration for the shoot? I envisioned Miss Mitchell as an Italian country girl relaxing on vacation in Portofino. Any exciting plans for the summer? I’m taking up rock climbing and have a trip scheduled to climb the North Face at Yosemite.

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 other publications. Warech coauthored Slam-Dunk Success with Byron Scott and Charles Norris, released last month. For this issue of Ocean Drive, he spoke with Mr. Marlin himself, Jeff Conine, and offers an insider’s look at the new and improved Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science. What’s your favorite summer hangout in Miami? Summers are good for locals especially with the revamped Washington Avenue bar scene at places like Employees Only, Commonwealth, and low-key nights at the Hotel Astor. Best slice of pizza in Miami? Say what you want about all the fancy pizza options we have in Miami, but I’ll take a slice from Pizza Bar any day!

MISS MIAMI ISABEL MARANT BRINGS HER INNATE SENSE OF CHIC TO HER NEW BOUTIQUE IN MIAMI’S DESIGN DISTRICT.

French designer Isabel Marant is known for infusing a bit of je ne sais quoi into everything she makes. You’ll notice it in the details—the leather tassels on her covetable Teinsy bags or the perfect slouch of a sexy sweater. So it’s no surprise that, when it came time to open her fifth US boutique, she chose Miami—a city with its own indescribable sense of magic— and the bustling Design District. “There is a unique, laid-back attitude and multicultural vibe to Miami,” says Marant, much like her own design aesthetic. The new 2,150-square-foot store occupies the ground floor of the Garden Building, designed by fellow Frenchman Laurent Deroo, and houses both the namesake collection and Isabel Marant Etoile, carrying ready-to-wear and an assortment of accessories, including handbags, shoes, belts, and jewelry. “We’ve been waiting for a long time to open this store,” Marant says. “We love the off-track attitude [of the space], and we love the people and the concept of the Design District.” That attitude results in décor that contrasts heavy volumes with ethereal and earthy elements: A kinetic chandelier that teeters above a raw wool sofa, clothing racks

fashioned out of thin rails with structural concrete bases, and lava stone and concrete terrazzo structures, developed specifically for the Miami boutique, juxtapose a textilepaneled ceiling. For the Spring 2017 collection, Marant was inspired by the notion of modernizing vintage workwear and infusing it with a strong sense of everyday femininity through sophisticated ruffles and sleek ’90s silhouettes. But most notable are the separates in bold floral motifs. “[These] printed items are key pieces that I feel are particularly correct for the modern women of Miami,” the designer says. An airy asymmetric-shoulder top seemingly overflowing out of a multilayered skirt or high-waisted shorts in contrasting cool tones feel excitingly new—and fitting for strutting around South Beach. “I wanted [to appeal to] a happy girl who wants to look cool, effortlessly stylish, and sexy,” says Marant. “I have a feeling that this girl is the Miami girl.” Miami Design District, 175 NE 40th St., 305-576-7180; isabelmarant.com

You have a significant following on Instagram. How has social media affected your career? In the beginning, I had no fun using [Instagram], but now, it’s like my portfolio. I’m creating a certain look for my page and am always thinking what my next post will be. You’ve worked with major brands like Revolve, Luxe Cartel, and Beach Bunny Swimwear. What’s the best part of being a model? Traveling. I love to experience new cultures and try new food. Fitness routine? I work out because it makes me feel good, and I love to do it in the morning because it gives me energy for the day. I need to be pushed, so I combine Pilates and personal training at Anatomy at 1220 (1220 20th St., Miami Beach, 786-213-1220; anatomyat1220.com). I like the vibe there. Cheat meal? I’m the biggest foodie ever! I can’t say no to pizza and ice cream. Ben & Jerry’s is the way to go—I’ll get a whole pint for myself! Who inspires you? I look up to so many beautiful and successful people, but my biggest inspiration is my family. I’m very close to my younger brothers. When I’m feeling stressed or down, I always call them. You’ve accomplished so much at just 20 years old. Any advice to aspiring models? Work on your body and your spirit. You need to have more to offer than just your looks; it’s very important to have a great personality. @lena_radonjic

STYLE TIME HONORED

I AM WOMAN SOME OF THE WORLD’S MOST LUXURIOUS WATCH BRANDS MAKE A SERIOUS WRIST-PLAY FOR THE LADIES. BY ALDOUS TUCK

A strong trend at this year’s Swiss watch fairs was an emphasis on women’s timepieces. While new watches and collections for women are well-represented annually at Geneva and Basel, the difference in 2017 is that the industry is telling its female customers loudly and clearly that they’re now at the top of its mind—by adding stunning new watches to collections that had previously been decidedly masculine; by incorporating nontraditional materials into feminine designs; and by expanding women’s options in categories such as smartwatches, world timers, and sports watches, often considered the domain of men. This year, watchmakers are right on time with what women want. For more watch features and expanded coverage, go to oceandrive.com/ watches-and-jewelry.

STYLE MUST-HAVE

COCO’S GOT A BRANDNEW BAG THE SIMPLY NAMED GABRIELLE IS CHANEL’S FIRST NEW HANDBAG LINE IN SIX YEARS.

THE GABRIELLE IS A DESIGN MARVEL, FUSING THE SLOUCH OF A HOBO-STYLE HANDBAG WITH A STRUCTURAL BOTTOM.

Freedom, comfort, functionality— these were the three requirements at the top of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s list when she created a handbag that merged practicality with style in 1955. Her idea for dressing the modern woman still rings true today, and it’s nowhere more apparent than in the new bag that bears her name. Chanel’s creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, introduced the Gabrielle bag during the brand’s Spring 2017 runway show. It’s a design marvel, fusing the slouch of a hobo-style handbag with a structural bottom, resulting in a contrasting silhouette that feels fresh and excitingly new. In order to achieve this posh juxtaposition, the handbag is fitted on a rigid thermoformed base, and the body of the bag is crafted from light and supple quilted leather. Of course, Chanel also has perfect taste in its muses, with Kristen Stewart, Cara Delevingne, Caroline de Maigret, and Pharrell Williams all helping to get the word out in an Instagram campaign. Available in a range of styles (quilted backpacks, chic shoulder bags, sturdy totes, and youthful bucket bags) as well as a multitude of colorways, the Gabrielle offers endless style possibilities. We can’t help but think Coco herself would be pleased. Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-868-0550; chanel.com

FACE FORWARD SOUTH FLORIDA’S HOTTEST COSMETIC DERMATOLOGIST TALKS SOCIAL MEDIA-INSPIRED SKINCARE TRENDS AND CUTTINGEDGE NEW TECHNOLOGY.

Age of innovation: Cosmetic derma tologist and Miami native Jeremy Green, MD (inset), of Skin Associates of South Florida says skincare will become more personal in the future—using clients’ own blood and skin to create antiaging treatments.

“We’re in an instant-gratification world,” says Jeremy Green, MD, a cosmetic dermatologist at Skin Associates of South Florida. “Patients want all the results, without any downtime.” Indeed, in the age of clicks and swipes, we’re living and working at hyper speed—while trying to live up to the beauty standards set by celebrities and Insta-models. More and more, Green notes, South Florida clients are asking for less-invasive procedures, like laser treatments to decrease pigmentation and build collagen, that require little to no recovery. He’s also noticing the influence of social media. “Younger and younger women want to come get their lips injected,” he says. Call it the Jenner effect. But cosmetic dermatology is no longer targeted only at women. “More men are coming in for injectables,” says Green, whose 11,000-square-foot space also includes the Skin Research Institute, which tests skincare products and procedures before they hit the market. (The facility was instrumental in the approval of Botox.) “It’s cheesy, but [guys] call it Brotox. Men are less sheepish about [skincare] than they were.” We’re heading into a new era of cosmetics, which Green says will include next-level customized skincare. Now, you can use your very own DNA to create antiaging products. Green predicts procedures like “vampire lifts”—drawing a patient’s blood, concentrating its growth factors, and then injecting it back into areas like the face and scalp to promote skin and hair growth—will rise in popularity. The future of beauty looks bright... or maybe a little bit dark. 4425 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Coral Gables, 305-4436606; skinassociatesfl.com

Just this February, the Weeknd and Daft Punk performed at the 2017 Grammy Awards. And during his tour stop in London, he even brought out fellow Torontonian “Drizzy” Drake.

FISH TALE BASEBALL LEGEND JEFF CONINE PROVES HE’S STILL MR. MARLIN, HELPING THE FISH WIN AND GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY HE LOVES.

During his MLB career, Marlins legend Jeff Conine was a two-time National League All-Star and two-time World Series champion, in 1997 and 2003 (shown here taking his turn at bat against the San Francisco Giants in 1994).

Which moments stand out to you as a player for the then-Florida Marlins? The ultimate goal is to win the World Series, so when you think about those big moments— Édgar Rentería’s hit up the middle and Josh Beckett tagging out Jorge Posada—it doesn’t get any better than that. You had mixed thoughts about the nickname Mr. Marlin. How do you feel about it today? Early on I didn’t know how I felt about it, but now looking back and people still calling me that, it’s an honor to be recognized as someone who started with this franchise and still works for the same franchise. That’s how people recognize me. A lot of people just call me Mr. Marlin, which is kind of a cool thing. Do you stay in touch with any of your teammates?

out?” I really enjoy it. One thing I know how to talk about is baseball. How do you spend your free time? I’m still active. I’m playing tennis now. I enjoy golf. I’m kind of a wine collector, so I’m dabbling in that a bit. I still have a son at home and he’s heavily into track, and we are doing a lot of track and field stuff with him. My other son plays at Duke, so we travel up to see him. How did you become involved with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital? Right when the team started, in ’93, my wife and I wanted to get involved with a charity and knew we wanted it to be with children. One of my teammates at the time, Orestes Destrade, was going to a luncheon at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and said, “Do you want to go over there?” So we went and Joe DiMaggio and Tommy Lasorda were there, and it was just an amazing organization. We decided shortly thereafter that was what we wanted to direct fundraising efforts toward. We started the golf tournament in 1995 that’s still running, and we’ve raised about $5 million doing it.

He works for the Players Association. I seem to run into the guys at some point if they stay in the game. When you came back to the team in 2003, what was that like for you? Just being able to go back home was huge. When I called my wife and said there was a potential trade to send me back to Florida, she thought I was lying. We made our home base here, we had our kids here, they went to school here—coming back home to play is what you long for. Tell us about your current dual role with the Marlins. I go to every home game, sit in on winter meetings for trades, visit the affiliates, suit up for batting practice and get on the field with the guys, and I go to spring training and instruct. I’m in the dugout trying to help these guys be big leaguers because it’s a game of experience.

SCENE GRAND OPENING

AGE OF EXPLORATION AS THE PHILLIP AND PATRICIA FROST MUSEUM OF SCIENCE OPENS ITS DOORS, MIAMI TURNS A CORNER AS AN EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL HUB.

With its grand reopening on May 8, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science brings a world of wonder to downtown Miami. The institution’s new 250,000-square-foot, $305 million indoor/ outdoor facility combines a science museum with an aquarium and a planetarium, and it boasts an impressive roster of exhibitions, events—and of course the laser light shows that leave visitors of all ages in awe.

talked to Frank Steslow, the museum’s president, about the facility and what its opening means for the city. Frost Science called the Vizcaya complex home for 55 years. How did this move to a bigger, better facility come about? Going back probably 20 years, the museum was looking for the opportunity to grow, and with the general obligation bond and the Building Better

Communities program providing a fair amount of funding for the science museum, the art museum, and other cultural projects, that became the impetus for what we have now. A lot of hard work went into securing the bond and getting the voters’ support. I think our question passed by about 80 percent affirmative to support $165 million going to the science museum. Art museums are trendy but new science muse-

ums are rare, right? They are. I think in the last 10 years, there were two major science museums in the US that opened and/or did major renovations to the tune that we’re doing, so it’s big news that it happened. If you look at the aquarium portion on a stand-alone basis, it’s as large as some of the freestanding public aquariums in the country. What can people expect from the north and west wings?

We have a lot of gallery spaces in those two buildings, starting with a permanent exhibition in the north wing called “Feathers to the Stars,” which presents science in a different way. Typically you might have the big ideas of science—evolution, the creation of the cosmos, etc.—addressed in different parts of the museum. We’ve chosen to meld those together into one exhibition experience that uses flight as the story

With its state-ofthe-art projection system, the Frost Planetarium offers immersive joyrides not only through outer space, but along a coral reef and into a microscopic strand of DNA.

Light—a farm of 218 photovoltaic solar panels—will provide about 66 kilowatts of energy, enough to power approximately 2 percent of the buildings at full capacity, while solar trees will add another 6 kilowatts. The Frost Planetarium has 250 stadium-style seats and a dome that’s tilted forward at 23.5 degrees, giving visitors a nearly 360-degree view. The 16-millioncolor 8K visual system, featuring six 3-D projectors, is one of only 13 in the world.

line. So we talk about evolution in the context of feathers and how dinosaurs developed feathers, which led to flight, the evolution of birds, and birds being an inspiration for aeronautics and space travel. It really runs the gamut using that thread. Then there’s the MeLaß, which focuses on medicine, wellness, sports physics, and even things like food chemistry. That exhibit is very programmatic, so there are a lot of live demonstrations. Is Frost Science for all ages? That’s one of the reasons for incorporating the aquarium: It draws a much wider age range of people. That becomes a really great entry point into science. That being said, we have a special exhibition space for early childhood called “River of Grass,” a hands-on Everglades experience and part of an ongoing research program into how the younger audience learns, and we’re going to have programs for young adults. The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science is located at 1101 Biscayne Boulevard and open from 9 am to 6 pm, 365 days a year. For more information, call 305-434-9600 or visit frostscience.org.

If you’re chosen, you’ll be notified of the secret location the day before the show. Previous local jams have been held at Tropical Vinyasa, at Vinos in the

Grove, and even in a Brickell City Centre residence. Upon arrival, you’ll be informed of three simple rules: listen (like, really listen)—that means no talking during the performance and absolutely no texting (rule number two)—and stay for all three acts (selected from a roster of local and national musicians). The gatherings—which, by the way, are BYOB—draw an eclectic and unpredictable audience of audiophiles in search of new sounds and artists who are eager to share their music while practicing the craft of performing on a stage. Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll be able to say you saw the next Prince perform live just a few feet away from you. Perhaps even in the comfort of your own living room (yes, you can also apply to be a host). sofarsounds.com

For Chicago, touring is a hard habit to break. “Retire? And do what?” asks Robert Lamm (center). “What’s better than being in a rock band?” The group hasn’t missed a year on the road since 1967; their first show with current tour buddies the Doobie Brothers, (below, with Tom Johnston at center) was in 1973.

ROCKING OUT CHICAGO AND THE DOOBIE BROTHERS TAKE IT TO THE STREETS FOR THE MOST SING-ALONG SETS OF THE SUMMER.

Do your summer plans involve playing shows for tens of thousands of people at amphitheaters across the US? And have you been doing that kind of thing for 50 years straight? No? Then you must not be a member of the seminal rock band Chicago. “Those 50 years went by rather quickly,” laughs keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter Robert Lamm, who cofounded the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group in 1967, penning such enduring, sing-along classics as “25 or 6 to 4” and “Saturday in the Park.” Fronted by new lead singer and bassist Jeff Coffey, who sings the old Peter Cetera/Jason Scheff tunes (“Jeff’s a more intense version of his predecessors,” says Lamm), Chicago is joined on the road by old friends the Doobie Brothers, of “Listen to the Music” and “China Grove” fame. “We love playing to a crowd

and interacting,” says Doobies cofounder/guitarist/vocalist Tom Johnston. “And these outdoor shows have a festive atmosphere— I’m invested in getting people out of their seats and rocking.” Each band has a catalog of songs that’s five decades deep, so will you hear your faves? “The chestnuts are there,” reveals Johnston. “Those four or five songs that we always play. But there are also deep album cuts that we haven’t played in years.” Lamm adds, “It would take us many hours to play all our hits.” With 21 top-10 singles and 36 albums (25 of them certified platinum), he’s not kidding. “We can interchange them and still make two hours of popular songs. It’s a blessing.” June 30, Perfect Vodka Amphitheatre at the South Florida Fairgrounds, West Palm Beach; livenation.com

CREATIVE CALLING SOUTH FLORIDA’S ART MUSEUMS BRING THE HEAT THIS SUMMER WITH AN ARRAY OF SIZZLING NEW SHOWS. BY BRETT SOKOL

Summer may be known as the slow season for Miami’s art world, but you wouldn’t guess it from the stellar lineup of exhibitions unfolding all over town. Come June, art aficionados will be buzzing with anticipation for the opening of “On the Horizon: Contemporary Cuban Art from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection” at Pérez Art Museum Miami, showcasing more than 160 works recently donated by the museum’s namesake. The exhibit is noteworthy not only for its comprehensive look at the island’s rich artistic history, but also for its generational mixing. Cuban exiles, Cuban Americans born here to exiled parents, and artists still working in Cuba will all be featured side by side—with young talents reared in Miami, like the painter Hernan Bas, sharing

space with Havana-based artists, such as the sculptor Kcho. Expect a heated dialogue, both on the walls of the museum—between artworks each staking their aesthetic claim to cubanidad—and among museumgoers investigating the difference (and similarities) a mere 90 miles can make. As one door opens, another closes: It’s your last chance to see “Marking the Infinite: Contemporary Women Artists from Aboriginal Australia” at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum at FIU. Drawing on works owned by Miami collectors Dennis and Debra Scholl, this survey is less an ethnographic study than a full immersion in a dazzling world of abstraction, where the retina-popping patterns often reference social themes no less poignant than those of their contemporary Cuban

DROP THE MIC GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING SONGWRITER AND MIAMI NATIVE ES EERDO TRADES HIS PEN FOR THE MICROPHONE WITH THE UPCOMING RELEASE OF HIS LATEST RECORD, YOU TITLE IT.

You’ve likely blasted Fifth Harmony’s “Work from Home” or Rihanna’s “No Love Allowed” and know every word to Big Sean’s “Clique.” But we bet you didn’t know that the man behind your favorite top40 tunes is Magic Cityborn and -bred Alexander “Eskeerdo” Izquierdo, who, at just 28 years old, has already taken home two Grammy Awards. “It hasn’t hit me yet,” he

says. “I’m just enjoying the journey.” Before Eskeerdo was composing copious charttoppers, he was a Hialeah kid with dreams of being an artist. But it was his experiences and surroundings that inspired Eskeerdo to put his feelings, which he subsequently turned into lyrics, on paper. “It’s always been about real concepts and deep emotions,” he says. “If

someone is going through something, that’s more inspiring than anything else.” That authenticity paid off—and caught the attention of Sean “Diddy” Combs. “My first placement was for him in 2009. The song was called ‘Diddy Bop.’” Eight years later, the lyrical mad man continues to lend his talent to high-profile musicians including Kanye West, Selena Gomez, Nick

Jonas, and more. “To be able to work with artists of their caliber is a blessing,” he says. “They are allowing me into their lives to see how they think and feel. I’m able to get their vision, what they want to say, and how they want to be portrayed.” When he’s not writing for others, he’s creating his own music in the “305 till I die” spirit. His track “For the City” became the Miami

Heat’s anthem, which he produced through his own record label, HIA Entertainment. “My upbringing in Hialeah taught me how to hustle,” he says. In January, he released the single “Bitta” and is now working tirelessly on his latest record, You Title It, to be released soon. Says Eskeerdo, “If you have a dream and see it clearly, don’t stop, no matter the obstacle.” @eskeerdo

SHINE ON

Fifteen years ago, Tracy Mourning—motivational speaker, broadcast journalist, and wife of Miami Heat legend Alonzo Mourning— dreamed of showing girls in the underserved communities of Miami-Dade County a world of opportunities. Since then, her nonprofit organization, Honey Shine, has provided them with invaluable experiences, helping to expand their horizons and build their confidence, creating a com-

munity of strong young women able to march into the future. On May 13, Honey Shine holds the annual Hats Off Luncheon, which raises funds for a sixweek summer camp (with free transportation) that offers balanced meals, swimming lessons, art and dance classes, STEM and robotics programs, and more—at no cost. Marla Wilson, the organization’s national executive vice president, tells us about the

event and how Honey Shine continues to change lives year after year. What: The 15th annual Hats Off Luncheon When: Saturday, May 13 Where: Loews Miami Beach Hotel, 1601 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305604-1601; loewshotels.com What’s the highlight of the event? The fashion show. We’ve selected a number of girls to walk an 80-foot runway. They’ve

each recorded a voice-over that tells the audience who they are, how long they’ve been in Honey Shine, what Honey Shine means to them, and why they shine. They’re walking the runway with purpose and they’re showing you their sense of pride and self-esteem. Is there a dress code? All the women and men wear a hat, a fascinator— some people might go Billie Holiday on you and put a gardenia in their hair. It’s all

about the hats and the shoes. In your own words, what is the mission of Honey Shine? To encourage the balancing of mind, body, and soul in young girls and women by teaching them and speaking to them about all the opportunities that exist in this world, and having conversations about the issues they’re facing. It’s really about the character development of the girls. honeyshine.org

“In 1994 I opened a restaurant called Blue Door at The Delano with Ian Schrager and someone named Madonna [ring a bell?],” says Iron Chef, Chopped judge, cookbook author, and bona fide culinary celebrity Geoffrey Zakarian. “It was an interesting experience because Miami Beach [back then] was nothing. There wasn’t much quality.” Fast-forward two decades. “Miami has become a destination—some of the best chefs in the world are here,” Zakarian says. He’s right: From denizens like Bradley Kilgore and Michael Schwartz to gastronomic giants Michael Mina, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Daniel Boulud, Francis Mallmann, and even Thomas Keller and Joël Robuchon, everyone wants a piece of Miami’s culinary real estate. It should come as no surprise, then, that 23 years after his initial Miami Beach debut, things have come full circle—back to South Florida. “I’d been looking to open something down here for a while when Howard asked me to come on as chef-partner,” he says of his friend Howard Wein (the founder of Howard Wein Hospitality and The Diplomat Restaurant Group), who was tasked with overseeing The Diplomat Beach Resort’s $100 million renovation. “A thousand rooms and the largest convention center in Florida? It was a no-brainer.”

Diners can order from the abundant raw bar at Geoffrey Zakarian’s new Point Royal restaurant inside the Diplomat Beach Resort.

“MIAMI HAS BECOME A DESTINATION. SOME OF THE BEST CHEFS IN THE WORLD ARE HERE.” — geoffrey zakarian Chef Geoffrey Zakarian. left: Point Royal’s unchopped butter-poached lobster roll is doused in piquant Colman’s mustard sauce.

Anchoring the Diplomat’s major renovation and top-notch food and beverage offerings is Point Royal, the seamless indoor-outdoor tropical oasis and shrine to seafood. Fiddle-leaf figs breathe life into the high-ceilinged space where glistening seafood towers sit atop virtually every table. Abundant raw bar combinations—like a hamachi crudo crowned with cranberry relish, cucumbers, Fuji apples, and crispy shallots— Zakarian says, “are some of the things you can’t get enough of in Florida,” especially when it’s 90 degrees in the summer sun. But don’t let the heat discourage you from ordering some of the richer dishes, like the house-made ricotta agnolotti coupled with Florida blue crab fondue, lemon butter, celery, and caviar. “Crab and pasta are a marriage,” says Zakarian. Or the pomegranate-glazed short rib, which goes exceptionally well with the crispy Brussels sprouts smothered with mustard crème fraiche and speckled with candied pecans and green apple. If you’re going to have only one dish, however, let it be the lobster roll. Setting Point Royal’s sandwich apart is the respectful use of the crustacean, whole and doused in a piquant Colman’s mustard sauce. “We don’t chop it up with mayonnaise,” Zakarian says. That would be a violation to the ocean, and at Point Royal, fish are treated with the utmost care, as best evidenced by the cornmeal-crusted Florida snapper, brought to zesty life through tomato, basil, eggplant, and saffron aioli. And then there’s the ultimate sweet and boozy finish: a Key lime Pavlova whose meringue is delectably brittle, paired with a Key lime gelée and Graham cracker crust, and washed down with a frozen piña colada. Because if one thing has remained unchanged in Miami in the 23 years since Zakarian first opened a restaurant here, it’s that a proper piña colada is always in order. 3555 S.

What are you most excited to see at the fruit and vegetable stands this summer? You never know what’s going to look the best, but I’m a huge lover of corn on the grill. That’s a good starting place. In the husk or shucked? I go both ways. It depends on my mood. Sometimes I’m into the husk and sometimes I’m not. Sometimes I really appreciate the blistering of those kernels. What’s a simple way to impress your friends? Tomatoes. Not even grilling them as much as utilizing some of the residual heat with a vinaigrette. Think about taking the tomatoes, blistering them a touch, cutting them up, tossing them in a vinaigrette, then putting them back in a pan with that vinaigrette and warming them up slightly on a grill. [Then] put some crumbled feta over the top and finish with

some greens on a platter. I don’t know what is better than that. How can you grill like they do in Italy? When you think about Italian cooking, you have to think about sitting in rustic Tuscany with an outdoor flame and a whole animal being brushed with a bush of rosemary. It conjures up a certain image of grilling outside, especially with a live fire. What isn’t Italian about that whole process? Identifying those fresh herbs, simple flavors, lemon, rosemary, garlic, onions—it’s a no-brainer. Favorite piece of meat to grill? I’m a big fan of the rotisserie attachment on a grill. One of the things I’m going to do this weekend is [grill] goat [with] a pan of potatoes underneath it and let the juices drip on top of the potatoes and some onions and garlic and herbs—there’s nothing better in the world. What’s the one thing people should never grill? Super-flaky fish. I’ve tried to grill halibut in the past. It’s bad news. Cod fish? Bad news. It’s a mistake you make once. All that stuff falls through, and you’re just burning it forever.

How to do it: “I love it as simple as it gets—with about a half fresh lemon squeezed on the rocks. That’s it. If I’m looking for a longer, more sessionable cocktail, I’ll top it with sparkling mineral water.” Seasonal touch: “We love to muddle a handful of fresh berries. Blueberries and strawberries are gorgeous this time of year. Even a sprig of mint brings the cocktail to life in a new way.” The perfect pair: Mirror the citrusy flavor of the cocktail with a shaved fennel salad with lemon zest. Some assembly required: Fruit- or herb-infused ice cubes add a pro touch. Simply drop a few berries or basil leaves into the wells of an ice cube tray, add water, freeze, and then show off your skills in a highball.

LA VIE EN ROSÉ CELEBRATING THE 10TH VINTAGE OF ITS BUZZY FLAGSHIP ROSÉ, CHÂTEAU D’ESCLANS BRINGS A TASTE OF ST-TROPEZ TO MIAMI.

Great wine hinges on four elements, says rosé producer Sacha Lichine, the bon vivant owner of St-Tropez winery Château d’Esclans: the soil (that ineffable quality called terroir), the grapes, the climate, and, finally, the winemaker, whose craft harmonizes all the other elements. The problem, he adds, is that rosé is the most difficult wine to make well. Luckily for Château d’Esclans, Lichine is perhaps the most prominent producer in the world. Ten years ago, winemakers, restaurants, and distributors could barely give rosé away. But exports of Provençal rosé to the US increased by more than 900 percent between 2006 and 2015, with a 58 percent increase between 2014 and 2015 alone. Now in its 10th vintage, Château d’Esclans’s flagship rosé, Whispering Angel, has come to epitomize the classic dry Provençal style. Much of the complexity is owed to bâtonnage, whereby fine lees, or dead yeast cells, are stirred back into the wine, while new technologies, including advanced refrigeration systems and pneumatic presses, keep the processing precise, all crucial to the production of “a product that is very easy to make average,” Lichine says. Perhaps Château d’Esclans’s greatest achievement, says Lichine, has been creating wines whose experiences are evocative of St-Tropez itself—clean, crisp, sophisticated, and fun. “What we’ve done,” he says, “is create a taste.” esclans.com

122 OCEANDRIVE.COM

Think (soft) pink! Château d’Esclans’s Whispering Angel epitomizes the classic style of Provence, where the wine has been produced for 2,600 years, and continues to lead the growth of rosé’s booming popularity in the US.

ALL HAIL SHAY From your smartphone to the big and small screens, actress, activist, and social media superstar Shay Mitchell is slaying Hollywood and beyond as the girl next door— but not without speaking her truth and inspiring her (millions of) followers. by KATIE JACKSON photography by RANDALL SLAVIN

n a place like Hollywood, where the media glare is unforgiving and imperfection can be fatal, it’s rare to encounter someone who is truly down-to-earth. Enter Shay Mitchell. The Canadian-born bombshell was catapulted into the spotlight at just 23 years old when she landed the role of the sporty and spunky Emily Fields on the hit television show Pretty Little Liars. Fast-forward seven years and Mitchell has solidified her status as an in-demand actress, launched a lifestyle channel on YouTube, coauthored a novel titled Bliss, and become one of the fiercest and most followed social media stars of her generation. Yet despite her success, she remains genuinely kind and humble, continuously reminding us that she’s “just like anyone else.” Now, with the PLL series finale airing in June, a very different role in the upcoming horror film Cadaver, and a new decade ahead of her (she turned 30 in April), Mitchell’s star is shining brighter than ever. She has a zest for life that is as charming (and irresistible) as it is inspiring. It’s no wonder she has 16 million Instagram followers and counting... What’s your favorite Pretty Little Liars memory? My first day on set and the very first scene that I shot with Lucy Hale. It was the same scene that I auditioned with. Those memories just stick with you. And the last scene will always be a really fond memory, although sad. It was all of us girls saying goodbye, and it was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done. All of us were crying. And if one of us stopped crying, we would look over at the other one who was crying and we would start again! It was incredibly emotional. It’s been seven years and a long journey, and so many things happened—from our crew growing up and having kids to engagements and weddings. We have been a huge family, and it’s always sad to say goodbye. What did you think of the PLL finale? Marlene King [the show’s creator and executive producer] has said that this last season was like our love letter to the fans. We wanted to really give a season to them, which meant that it would be the most romantic season and one that would answer every question that people have had—most of them, at least. You will find out who has been the mastermind of this entire thing, and it’s going to be a really fun ride for the fans. You’ve said that the hardest part about your career is the criticism. What have you been criticized for? So many different things! I do have a big social media following, and the more you put yourself out there, the more you lend yourself to being criticized. As long as I’m good with who I am and I can go to sleep at night confident with how I spend my time, my day, and the type of person that I am, then all is fine. The criticism started when I first went into the PLL role and [the critics said], “Oh, she doesn’t look anything like the character. The character is supposed to have red hair, fair complexion, and freckles; she looks nothing like that.” I thought, All right, that was the girl next door, and I’m the new version of the girl next door. The world is a melting pot now. It’s no longer the typical American girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. That didn’t stop me for one second from wanting to go in and give it a try. I still wanted to give them my best take on who I thought this character was. And had I stopped at that physical description this character was known for, then I

wouldn’t be here right now. It’s all about taking chances and stepping out of your comfort zone. About not taking no for an answer and continuing to fight for what you want. If we don’t, then we can’t complain about staying stagnant. You’re a queen on social media! How do you take a good selfie? My biggest tip is to take 5,000 photos. I’m not even joking. My friends who have taken photos of me know that it takes an entire camera roll full of photos, and hopefully, fingers crossed, there will be one that I like. I always want to make it a point to say that when girls say, “You take such good photos!” Also realize that I, like you, take 5,000 different shots to get the one I like. We all do the same thing; I’m definitely no different. And I really think [social media] shouldn’t be taken too seriously. I like seeing other people’s outfits of the day, so if I’m wearing an outfit that I like, I take a photo against a white wall and there we go. So start filling up your camera roll, okay? And always find the light! Natural light is the best. You’re also followed for your beauty tips and style secrets, but was there ever an awkward stage? I was so awkward when I was 14, 15, and 16 years old, and before that and after that. We all go through a phase when we look back at photos and are like, “Why was I doing that?!” I constantly ask my mom, “Why did you let me dye my hair blonde and wear green contacts? When did you think that was a good idea?!” And my mom always says the same thing: “I just wanted you to be who you were and who you wanted to be at that time and have no regrets.” And I don’t regret it. It’s funny to look back at photos and see yourself so different. But if I could have given myself advice back then, I would have just said, “Embrace your natural beauty and enhance what you already have.” I was always trying to change myself and conform to what my friends and girls around me looked like, or girls in the magazines. Most of the time, they had blonde hair and light eyes and weren’t as tan as me. So there was a big period in my life where I was doing everything that was the opposite of what I was born with. I think now what has helped me the most is staying true to what I was born with naturally. We always have those up and down days, but we should celebrate the fact that we are all unique. That thing that you don’t like, it could also be the thing that makes you different from other people. And if we all looked the same, wouldn’t that be boring? Do you see kids in your future? One hundred percent. That is something I’ve always wanted. Family is a huge part of life. I am definitely not rushing to have that happen right away, but when it does, great! You’ve done a great job at keeping your private life private. How do you do it? When I want to go out and have fun with my friends, I know there are places where paparazzi aren’t going to take your picture. I’ve been caught having a few too many drinks, and you’re asking for it when you go to places where there are paparazzi. But if you want to have fun and let loose, there is no better place than your home. I have people over quite often, and it’s my sanctuary. I can be who I want to be and let loose and not have to worry about cameras or anything. I think you just have to be careful in public and on social media as well. Don’t put up things that you think you’re going to take down

in a moment. People [take] screenshots. So I’m really careful. I love wine and have drinks with dinner; I’m no angel. But I also don’t have to be in the public eye when I’m having fun like that. Is dating in Hollywood difficult? I think it’s hard to date in general. Everyone has the same struggles, whether you work in Hollywood or not. We all have the same insecurities when it comes to relationships. The only difference in Hollywood is that your relationship is more public. It’s about how comfortable people in Hollywood are with posting about their relationship and knowing it is going to get picked up by every single news outlet. For me, like other parts of my life, I want to live it exactly how I want to live it. If I post something on social media, then you have all the right in the world to ask me about it, because I’m putting it out there. But with [relationships], I don’t. I’m having fun, I’m very happy, and that’s it. I don’t want to have anyone look at my Instagram and see a timeline of guys I’ve dated. Your character on PLL is gay and you’ve said in the past you can love whoever you want to love. What does love mean to you? I believe that love means that the person brings out the best version of you. When I love someone, I love being in their presence. And it’s also about putting someone else’s happiness first. You Snap a lot of your workouts, sometimes doing three in a row. How do you find the time? Whenever people ask, “When do you feel most beautiful or confident?,” it’s after I work out. It’s then even more so than when I’m on a red carpet all glammed up, because I’ve gotten stronger and pushed myself. I’m a competitive person, but I’m competitive with myself more than anybody else. Do I think I’m extreme? Yes, absolutely. Do I think people need to do three workouts in a day? No. But if it makes you happy, then go for it! The body is such a wonderful machine and you don’t understand or appreciate it unless you take care of it. That’s why I like to do it, and because of the fact that I fucking love food so much and I need to work it off. What’s your ultimate cheat meal? When I’m in Miami, you will probably find me at Joe’s Stone Crab; it’s the first place I go. That Key lime pie is not okay. I’ve had it flown to my house in LA. I can’t even describe it. It’s too good! What else do you like to do when you’re in Miami? I love Little Havana and the live music. I love the Spanish influence that Miami has, and I love going out dancing. I went to Ball & Chain and just started dancing with the older man outside. And I like to people-watch in there, too. The women are so glamorous and done up. Miami is so sexy. You’ve worked with a lot of different charities. What is one that is close to your heart? Free the Children [now called WE Charity] is such a great organization. They go around the world to different communities and teach children how to be self-sufficient. They also help build water wells and schools so that kids around the globe can have an equal chance at an education. To me, that is so important, and whenever I can help out, I do.

KAROLÍNA KURKOVÁ: The Style Setter The Czech supermodel has conquered the catwalk, strutting her stuff for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show and landing countless campaigns for high-end fashion houses like Chanel and Louis Vuitton. Now, the blonde beauty balances modeling, motherhood, and giving back. What charities are you involved with right now? I work with Feeding America (feedingamerica.org) and amfAR [The Foundation for AIDS Research] (amfar.org). I did a campaign with Anna Wintour and a few female designers where we created products that were sold on Shopbop.com. All of the proceeds were given to moms in third-world countries who have HIV. How do you balance your career and personal life? It’s a learning process; having kids forces you to have balance. I am constantly learning how to manage my time more efficiently. I pay very close attention to nutrition and try to take care of myself. But my kids come first, because children really need that guidance

and a lot of love and attention. Your childhood is not what people might expect. Growing up in a small town [in the Czech Republic] I got a lot of attention, but not in a good way. People would point at my long legs and stare at me. I never wore short skirts or shorts; I was always in pants trying to hide them. I was kind of insecure. I never thought of myself as a beautiful girl or that I could be a model. When was your first big break? At [14 years old], a friend of mine asked me if she could take pictures of me. And then, without telling me, she sent them to an agency. They called and said they would like to meet me in person. On one hand I was like, Oh my

God, yes! and on the other, I wanted to kill my friend because she didn’t ask me. But if she had, I probably would have told her no, and I wouldn’t be where I am today. OPPOSITE PAGE: Asymmetric red-plaid knit dress, Stella McCartney ($797). theoutnet.com. Shoes, Kurková’s own

ARLENE CHAPLIN: The Artful Altruist YogArt cofounder and Pérez Art Museum Miami Board of Trustees member Arlene Chaplin has made it her mission to fuse art, philanthropy, and fun in the Magic City. What drove you to become so involved in the community? From an early age, I saw my parents getting involved with and caring about the city. My dad was one of the first developers in Brickell, and he also dreamed of people staying, living, and working in downtown. So being a part of PAMM is amazing for me because he always felt like our city needed an arts and cultural center and that it helps to create a community.

How do you find balance with all of your projects? Yoga, which is why I started YogArt (yogartevent.com). It’s exercise, but it helps your heart and soul, and I wanted to share that experience with others.

YogArt went from a two-timesa-year event to a monthly ritual connecting the community. How does that make you feel? The heart of YogArt has always been about love. My two partners, Lee Brian Schrager and Dawn Feinberg, and myself all have something to share, but it’s all rooted in love and positive energy. And having [YogArt] events that people look forward to is incredibly rewarding. We’re planning on expanding to New York—stay tuned!

What has been your biggest struggle? The number-one priority in my life is my children. I’m a mom first, then a wife, then hopefully a philanthropist. I want to be very loving and have an open relationship with my children, yet set guidelines and direct them on a great path. I think that if you give children good guidelines, then it’s a gift to the entire world, because having healthy children is very important for all of us. Asymmetric dress, Dior (price on request).

PHILANTHROPY PHILOSOPHY:

I always try to be the best person I can possibly be, and I apply that to every aspect of my life.

PHILANTHROPY PHILOSOPHY:

Giving and doing as much as you can for the charities and organizations that speak to you. I feel the best when I’ve contributed to something that’s close to my heart. wouldn’t be happy doing that.

How has being a woman played a role in your career? In the beginning, it was hard. There were people who saw a young girl and didn’t want to take [me] seriously. But the power of the woman is so strong, and I think once you prove that you can do it just as well as a man, all bets are off.

What charities are you involved with now?

At the time, the competing station was promoting an exclusive interview with him. I went to my news

director and said, “I can get you an exclusive with Julio Iglesias at his house. I can show you what his bedroom looks like!” So off we went, and lo and behold, it was on the 11 o’clock news that night as the big exclusive.

What’s been your biggest career challenge? There’s the challenge of being a mom and juggling my career. In the beginning I was part time, because I wanted to be with my kids. I even turned down an offer in LA that was going to have me in a big show, but that meant red carpets every night and not being home. I knew I

I am the honorary chair of Debbie’s Dream Foundation (debbiesdream.org), which [aims] to stop stomach cancer. I was honored with the Broadcaster of the Year award in 2016, and am emceeing their annual gala again this year. I also work with Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (diabetes research.org) and [host] their annual fundraising event called Out of the Kitchen.

Do you feel responsible for setting an example for girls watching you on TV? I do. I love to talk to young girls about starting out and having them realize how hard it is. It’s not just about being on television. You have to write, produce, and know what you’re talking about. In this time of Instagram and selfies, being a journalist and keeping it real is the most important thing. Dolly mesh-paneled dress, Stella McCartney ($992). theoutnet.com.

MELISSA MEDINA: The Tech Trailblazer Executive vice president of tech advancement platform eMerge Americas, president of The Medina Family Foundation, and mother of five, Melissa Medina is seamlessly breaking tech (and stereotypical) boundaries. What challenges have you had to overcome? Being a woman, being Hispanic, being a mom, being the founder’s [eMerge’s Manny Medina] daughter. But I prefer to view them as drivers to prove to myself that I can push through. I was brought up by parents who encouraged me from a very young age to pursue whatever dream or passion I had. I never once thought that, because of these things, I couldn’t pursue a career.

What is one of the most important lessons you’ve learned from your father? I don’t think I realized how truly blessed I am to have been raised by such an incredible man until later in life. Before that, he was just my dad. I realize now that I was raised by a mentor who taught me about sacrifice, determination, and perseverance.

Tell us about the Medina Family Foundation. Through the Medina Family Foundation, we directly help local nonprofits that impact our community through education and youth [programs]. I serve on the boards of several of these organizations, and I [like] to get my children involved, too!

How do you find balance? I think it is virtually impossible to have a perfectly balanced work-life schedule. I feel blessed to have such an incredible support system with an extremely supportive husband, mother, father, in-laws, and friends who all help me. If it weren’t for them, there would be no way that I could work and be a mom of five children under 10 years old! For more information on eMerge Americas, visit emergeamericas.com.

PHILANTHROPY PHILOSOPHY:

It all goes back to the way my parents raised my brother and me; no matter how little or how much you have, it is important to give back whatever you can.

SHANNON ALLEN: The Health Huntress After her son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, Shannon Allen struggled to find fast but healthy food options, so she took matters into her own hands. Enter Grown, an all-organic and allergy-friendly restaurant at the forefront of the health-conscious movement. When was the moment you decided to create Grown? I’m a doer. I don’t believe in the words “no” or “impossible.” When my son Walker was diagnosed [with diabetes] and there were no healthy fast-food options when I needed them, I felt frustrated and defeated. I remember looking in the mirror and thinking, Shannon, nobody is going to come save you. I called my husband, [Miami Heat legend] Ray [Allen], and said, “If nobody’s got big enough balls to reinvent fast food, I’m going to do it.” That’s the moment Grown was born.

What does the future of Grown look like? We’re growing! We have two locations at Hard Rock Stadium, and they are the only USDA organic-certified fast-food concepts in an NFL arena. We’re opening in Orlando in Lake Nona inside of a Walmart. My dream is for every family, regardless of income or zip code, to be able to have access to organic fast food. With Grown living inside Walmart, a huge behemoth of a company that really cares, it truly makes us accessible to everyone.

How do you balance business, marriage, and motherhood? I find balance in my family. They are my source of joy, and spending time with them is how I recharge my batteries. Ray and I try to steal our moments. We’ve been together almost 21 years, and it’s important to remember why we fell in love and to stay connected. And it’s crucial for our five children to know that they are the most important thing in our lives. Grown, 8211 S. Dixie Hwy., Miami, 305-663-4769; grown.org

PETRA LEVIN: The Passionate Philanthropist An avid art collector and former Miss Germany, Petra Levin has dedicated her life to the arts and bettering the community, as evidenced by her tireless efforts with the American Cancer Society, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, and many more. How did you become an art collector? I always had a passion for contemporary art. I remember buying my first miniature Yves Klein sculpture many years ago. [But] becoming a collector doesn’t happen overnight. I [keep up with the industry] by reading numerous art magazines, visiting galleries, and devote a lot of time traveling regularly with my husband [beverage tycoon Stephen Levin] to various art fairs in Berlin, New York, and London. What is your opinion on women in the arts? Women have always been important to the art world as artists, curators, and directors, and have been historically underrated. To me, the most iconic [woman artist] is Louise Bourgeois. Her work has been so influential and boundary-breaking through her use of tools like radical abstraction and architectural interventions. She was one of the first artists in America to transcend gender [boundaries]. What has been one of your biggest challenges? Public speaking. Coming from Germany and learning English has taken a lot of time and effort. But being involved with charities and giving many speeches [helped me] develop confidence. How do you recharge? Growing up, biking was part of our family activities. I still bike regularly on Miami Beach, and I devote time every day to exercise. But I also love playing with my two puppies, Feena and Friday, who I secretly call my “happy pills.” Their cuteness and unconditional love always make me smile! What do you love the most about living in the Magic City? Miami has such an incredible variety of the arts. And taking our boat out on the bay with friends and watching the most beautiful sunsets in America is something really special.

AMENITY CENTRAL MORE THAN JUST AN URBAN SETTING, BRICKELL ENTERS ITS NEXT PHASE OFFERING LIFESTYLE, CULINARY, AND CULTURAL COMPONENTS. BY ROBYN A. FRIEDMAN

The 85-story Panorama Tower (HERE AND LEFT) is projected to be the tallest building in Florida, with amenities ranging from private wine-tasting and music rooms to pet daycare. BELOW: The Panorama pool deck.

Looking for a new place? Consider Brickell. No longer just a financial center, Brickell has morphed into a bustling live/ work/play residential neighborhood, with a hip lifestyle and urban vibe-—not to mention easy access to some of the city’s best shopping and dining. “A few years ago, when we were first starting to sell SLS Brickell, we used to show renderings of families with strollers walking around the city or enjoying Brickell at the curbside restaurants,” says Carlos Rosso, president of The Related Group’s Condominium Development Division. “Flash forward to today, and you’ll see hundreds of people around the neighborhood 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The neighborhood is very quickly delivering on its promises and making those renderings come to life.” According to the Miami Downtown Development Authority, Brickell’s population increased by 32.1 percent between 2010 and 2016—and it’s expected to grow an additional 9.1 percent by 2021. Numerous shops and restaurants have followed, drawn by the residential influx. Brickell City Centre (701 S. Miami Ave., 786-254-1045; brickellcitycentre.com), an urban oasis that encompasses 500,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space; the luxury East, Miami hotel; the Reach and Rise condominium towers; and two

office buildings, has been a catalyst in the neighborhood, creating a buzz that is attracting residents and visitors alike. “We’ve tried to create a very vibrant center that caters to all types,” says Kieran Bowers, president of Swire Properties, Brickell City Centre’s developer. The 352-key East, for instance, has a bit of an edge to it, Bowers says. Its rooftop bar, Sugar (East, Miami, 788 Brickell Plaza, 786-805-4655; east-miami.com), has already become a destination, and the hotel’s signature restaurant, Quinto La Huella (788 Brickell Plaza, 786-8054646; quintolahuella.com), is the first Miami location for Uruguay’s much-vaunted beachfront eatery Parador La Huella. Brickell City Centre’s pair of 43-story condominium towers, Reach and Rise, each have a half-acre amenity deck, with tropical gardens, barbecues, fitness areas, and a playground, as well as pools with beverage service, a library, fitness center, and spa with a shared hammam. Other Brickell-area hotels, condominiums, and apartments offer extensive amenities as well. Related’s 58-story SLS Lux (444 Brickell Ave., 305-358-1000; slslux.com) features museumquality art in all its common areas, as well as a ground-floor restaurant by celebrated chef

Katsuya Uechi and a cocktail lounge by SBar. Residents can also enjoy the SLS Lux Garden Level, with two pools and sporting and recreational amenities overlooking the Brickell skyline. Another Related condominium, Brickell Heights (850 S. Miami Ave., 305-469-9470; brickell heights.com), is home to both an Equinox fitness center and SoulCycle studio. And guests at the 124-room SLS Brickell (1300 S. Miami Ave., 305-2391300; slshotels.com) can be pampered at the luxurious Ciel Spa and then indulge in the cuisine at Bazaar Mar, by José Andrés, or Fi’lia, by Michael Schwartz—both James Beard Award-winning chefs. Then there’s the forthcoming Panorama Tower—an 85-story luxury rental by Florida East Coast Realty that will be the tallest building in Florida. It features 821 apartments and 208 hotel rooms, as well as 50,000 square feet of high-end retail and 100,000 square feet of medical office space. You’ll find a pool deck with two heated pools and cabanas—but there’s also a poolside bar/café, restaurant, private dining and wine-tasting rooms, a sports lounge, three private theaters, a fitness center, yoga and Pilates studio, spa, cyber café with coffee bar, play room, and Muse room for live music sessions. And, for the ultimate in convenience for pet owners, Panorama has a pet daycare, grooming, and boarding facility right in the building. “Because of the size of this project, we’re able to provide a plethora of amenities,” says Jerome Hollo, the executive vice president of Florida East Coast Realty. “We’ve got everything that you could want”—proving Brickell is becoming unbeatable.

Kitchens at Brickell City Centre incorporate Italian cabinetry, sleek quartz-stone countertops, and imported marble flooring. above: The jewels of the Reach tower’s amenity deck are the lap and social pools, featuring poolside beverage and café service.

The ultramodern Eleven on Lenox will offer residents a stylish respite amid Miami Beach’s bustling nightlife.

OPULENT OASIS A LEADING MIAMI-BASED DEVELOPER AND HERALDED INTERIOR DESIGNER DISCUSS WHAT HOMEOWNERS CAN EXPECT AS MIAMI BEACH TRANSFORMS INTO A CULTURAL EPICENTER. BY KATIE JACKSON

166 OCEANDRIVE.COM

For decades, Miami Beach has been known as the country’s—if not the world’s—premier playground, offering a sunny respite from harsh winters and, of course, lots of late-night revelry. But today, the tourist destination has transformed into a cultural hub, providing both visitors and locals with unparalleled shops, restaurants, and bars (helmed by awardwinning chefs and

mixologists) coupled with the ever-present and legendary nightlife. Masoud Shojaee, president and chairman of real estate development company Shoma Group (and the man behind mega-development City Place Doral and Sunset Harbour’s upscale eatery Naiyara), wanted to put his own spin on South Beach and create a residence that incorporates his “live, work, and

shop” philosophy. Enter Eleven on Lenox, a project comprising 11 three-story, ultramodern townhomes located in the heart of the Beach. Shojaee enlisted interior designer Charles Allem, founder and director of design at CAD International, to seamlessly and stylishly bring his vision to life. Here, the expert duo discuss Eleven on Lenox (estimated for completion in

2018) and Miami Beach’s metamorphosis. Masoud Shojaee: When I approach a project, I like to create a lifestyle along with it. I want to change the neighborhood, the attitude, and create a new market for everyone—similar to the project in Doral, where the locals feel like they have an entire community. That was a great feeling, and we’re doing that again on Miami Beach.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY VANESSA ROGERS (SHOJAEE)

Charles Allem: The Beach has really morphed into a city. People like to walk, go to the beach, go home, have a drink at one of the great bars, and come back again. Developers want to provide that and also take the next step. Eleven on Lenox [is doing that]. It’s very dynamic. MS: The project is accessible. It’s two blocks from the shops, restaurants, and excitement on Lincoln Road. But it’s also very private. You don’t have to go through a massive lobby to come and go. CA: That’s right—you don’t have to say “good morning” or “hello” to 20 people as you wait for your car to get pulled up. You can [be social] at so many places in Miami, but at home, it can become exhausting. It’s more laid-back and minimal. [A lot of] clients don’t want the madness; they just want something that’s totally relaxed. But of course, it has to be flawless! MS: Yes, [the design] really has character. Charles is doing a phenomenal job in creating a beautiful design that is iconic. People will like it for years to come. CA: The design and overall project truly embrace and enhance the neighborhood. It’s not what I like to call the “holiday maker,” because when people go away, it will still connect with the locals, and that’s so important. MS: Charles and I are putting our hearts and souls into it and are really taking a personal approach. This is just the beginning for us, and for the future of Miami Beach. It’s the beginning of a new and very exciting era. The on-site sales gallery is located at 1030 15th St., Miami Beach, 305-506-2390; 11onlenox.com.

THE SWEET ESCAPE WARM TEMPS AND AMPLE SUNSHINE HAVE US DREAMING OF SPENDING SUMMER DAYS—AND NIGHTS—IN THE OPEN AIR. HERE ARE THREE OF THE MOST LUXURIOUS WAYS TO DO IT. BY OUSSAMA ZAHR

AN OASIS OF ONE’S OWN

Gloster’s Cradle daybed creates a stylish refuge hidden in plain sight. The inspiration: “I wanted to make a small hideaway,” says designer Henrik Pedersen. “The mix of the rounded pill form and straight lines was optimal for the Cradle—somewhat square, but much more pleasing to the eye. The shapes of the ends serve an important purpose, to function as an angled backrest for a more upright position.” Why we love it: The hamster-wheel shape is open on the sides but provides peekaboo coverage on the face, so it feels airy and secluded at the same time—an effect Pedersen calls “transparent space.” The slats play into the minimalist trend for clean lines, but they’re rounded to soften the look. The materials: “Aluminum is often a good choice for outdoors—fairly strong and corrosion-resistant, but the powder coat is much nicer and more

pleasing to the touch, a more tactile surface,” says Pedersen. “Mixed with [the natural teak] wood, it gives you a design with the best of both materials.” Size up: “Even though outdoor is the new indoor, quite often you are dealing with areas on a much larger scale, so the design has to be able to adapt to a large scale, as well.” Starts at $13,275, Clima Outdoor, 3650 N. Miami Ave., Miami, 305-576-8181; climaoutdoor.net PARTY ON

For the modular Escapade sofa with prints by Missoni, Roche Bobois has found a fashion brand that loves good-time colors as much as it does. The inspiration: “Freedom!” says Zeno Nugari, a member of the Roche Bobois design team behind the Escapade sofa. “The goal was to create a sofa that is able to adapt to any situation, both indoor and outdoor, and with no compromise on comfort and design for the owner.”

OCEANDRIVE.COM 169

SPACE TRENDS

Fab collab: “Missoni offers [the most] unique fabrics on the market,” says Nugari. “It is like a blossom with very warm colors, particularly adapted to the relaxed spirit of the Escapade sofa.” Your favorite positions: “Unlike traditional sofas with fixed backs, the back cushions of the Escapade sofa can be moved,” Nugari says. “I want to be able to customize my comfort depending on my mood—[from] a straight sitting position when I am having a drink with friends up to a totally relaxed position when I want to read or rest.” Price on request, 450 Biltmore Way, Coral Gables, 305-4441017; roche-bobois.com ROMANCE ME!

with clean style,” says designer Barlas Baylar. “It is truly inspiring with tranquil and magical views [and] a relaxed, informal culture. Inevitably, my inspiration [came] while spending time in such an environment.” Why we love it: Baylar is renowned for his live-edge dining tables, which sell for tens of thousands of dollars out of his Brooklyn studio, Hudson Furniture. But rather than do an obvious iteration for the outdoors, he has embraced natural materials in a different way with the Aviara daybed. The weathered teak is still the star, but so are the reams and reams of billowing fabric. The materials: Baylar insisted on sourcing sustainably harvested teak—so you can clear your mind and your conscience. Alluring geometries: “The clean lines are simple but charming and warmly enveloping,” says Baylar, who wants people to “nestle into the modern design.” Inside versus outside: When designing for the outdoors, says Baylar, his focus was on “ensuring the harmonious coexistence of modern furniture and its natural surroundings— discreetly blending them [so] as not to distract from the beauty and tranquility of nature.” $6,795, 19575 Biscayne Blvd., Ste. 751, Aventura, 305-935-1253; rh.com

Why we love it: Partyfriendly modular sofas aren’t new, but the idea of mix-and-matching pieces in different sizes and colors keeps things interesting. Plus, the pillows are placed on freestanding backrests that can be moved freely around the sofa. We’ll let you do the math on all the possible permutations.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE BEST OF MIAMI DINING, DRINKING, AND NIGHTLIFE

SAMBA THIS WAY THERE’S NEVER A DULL MOMENT AT LINCOLN ROAD HOT (PARTY) SPOT SUSHISAMBA. BY CARLA TORRES

SushiSamba’s açai bowl with granola and fresh fruit.

Time is of the essence when it comes to the Brazilian-meetsPeruvian-meets-Japanese fusion restaurant SushiSamba. Take, for example, the aptly named Samba hour, which happens not once but twice a day—Thursday through Sunday from 4 to 7 PM and 11 to close (either 1 or 2 AM, depending on the night). Expect $5 caipirinhas (the national drink of Brazil) and $7 spicy ginger martinis and sushi yellowtail jalapeño rolls, as well as samba dancers and live musical entertainment along with an eclectic crowd celebrating life in Miami. Sound like a good time? It is, and so is the weekend brunch, featuring bottomless Champagne showers, quinoa pancakes, and Brazilian feijoada, a black bean and trio of meat (shredded pork, seared beef, and carnes asada) stew chockfull of white rice, collard greens, farofa, and fresh orange slices. You know what they say: Vitamin C is the ultimate hangover cure, especially when combined with some hair of the dog. 600 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, 305-673-5337; sushisamba.com

TACO ABOUT IT AT THIS TINY TACO SHACK ON COLLINS AVENUE, THE MEXICAN STREET TACOS (AND DIRTY HORCHATAS) ARE AS GOOD AS THE PEOPLE-WATCHING. You could sit at Taquiza for hours and be entertained just by watching the colorful parade of locals and tourists passing by, without knocking back a single taco or beer. But why do that when housemade tortillas (made with nixtamalized blue corn from Masienda and ground daily) are crowned with the usual Mexican suspects (think pineapple al pastor, orange and cinnamon carnitas, beer-infused beef tongue, and even grasshoppers)? Make sure to finish things off with the non-advertised dirty horchata spiked with coffee, and every Friday through Sunday, you can get your Salty Donut fix without having to leave the beach and stand in line. 1506 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-748-6099; taquizamiami.com

RAISING THE BAR MICHAEL BELTRAN UPS THE COCKTAIL ANTE AT ARIETE WITH AN EXCLUSIVE BAR MENU AND HAPPY HOUR.

At Ariete, diners can order happy hour mezcal negronis and tobacco-steeped old-fashioneds, along with fritas and wood-grilled fish-sauce caramel wings.

“People don’t think of us as a bar,” says chef-partner of Ariete Michael Beltran. Of course that’ll change as soon as you try the cocktail float: two scoops of house-made vanilla ice cream spiked with Fernet, luxardo, and (alcoholic) root beer, dubbed Not Your Father’s Root Beer. It’s one of several happy hour and new cocktail offerings that also include mezcal negronis, tobacco-steeped old-fashioneds, and cachaça mules. Plus, oysters, fritas, chug burgers, and wood-grilled fish-sauce caramel wings with furikake ranch. If that doesn’t make you happy, nothing will. 3540 Main Hwy., Coconut Grove, 305-640-5862; arietemiami.com
