Reflecting on the day I met our cover star Antonela Roccuzzo at the beginning of her first Miami summer, the word ‘grace’ first comes to mind. There’s no denying that Roccuzzo has a lot on her plate: she is a mother of three young boys, she is the wife of, arguably, the world’s most famous soccer player — Leo Messi — and she has amassed a following of over 40 million followers on Instagram, where they can admire her style, beauty, and fitness routine. Yet, with what would seem like the weight of the world on her shoulders, it is with a grace I have never seen before that she meets life. She is polite in her demeanor, poised, and incredibly present.

This cover shoot is a big deal. Not only is it Roccuzzo’s first magazine cover, but she is also a bit shy — though shy should not be confused with mundane. Living life in the spotlight, it’s only natural to prefer to be a bit of a recluse. In fact, Roccuzzo is a powerhouse — it’s her inspiring humility that reads shy. After spending the day with her, I was left in awe, asking myself how does she do it all? How does she shoot her first-ever magazine cover in the world’s most beautiful Tiffany & Co. diamonds, then leave set to go straight to her family who has just arrived from Argentina to spend the week at Disney World with her kids?

The answer is simple: it’s the Antonela way. To define her is impossible, but whether she knows it or not, there is such a thing as the Antonela way — it is an inner calmness, an inner strength, and an ability to handle situations with utmost dignity.

HAUTE LIVING: Let’s start at the beginning. What was it like growing up in Rosario, Argentina?

ANTONELA ROCCUZZO: It was very familiar. I have a large family, and I grew up with my parents, sisters, cousins, and grandparents. It’s [actually] what I miss the most — being away from them and not being able to enjoy each other’s presence.

HL: What were your passions growing up? Was there a career you always wanted to pursue?

AR: I wanted to be an odontologist (the study of teeth and their structure, development, and disease). I began studying in Rosario, but I didn’t graduate for a number of personal reasons. Today, I’m dedicated to something completely different, but one thing for sure is that you always have to do what makes you happy and fulfills you.

HL: What are some facts people wouldn’t know about you?

AR: I’m a very family-oriented person; I love my routine and having everything well-organized. I’m punctual and always try to be respectful of others’ time, which I highly value. I’m a big fan of reading. I also enjoy building Lego sets; we have a collection at home. And, of course, spending time with my family.

HL: You have such a beautiful family, and you have all remained so down to earth in the spotlight. How have you managed that as a woman, a mother, and a wife? How do you find balance?

AR: My balance is my family. In good and bad times, we’re always there to celebrate each other’s successes and support each other when things don’t go well.

HL: To you, what are the core values of raising a family?

AR: Humility, respect, helping one another, and being a team.

HL: You have been part of so many monumental moments with Messi (like winning the 2022 World Cup). What are those moments like for you?

AR: Those moments are filled with nerves, but the most beautiful part is that we experience those things all together as a family, and my children can make great memories. Having lived through these moments from day one makes them unforgettable.

HL: You’re now a South Florida resident. How has that transition been?

AR: It has actually been very easy, and we’re all happy about it. Our main concern was that the kids might not like it or adjust well, but from day one, they adapted very well.

HL: What do you like most about South Florida? What are some of your favorite restaurants, activities, and places to shop?

AR: We love being able to enjoy outdoor activities (when it’s not too hot), to spend the day at the beach or to do an asado at home with friends. If we can, we also enjoy getaways to Orlando to visit Disney or Universal and have fun with the kids.

As for restaurants, I’m still discovering many, but I really like Casadonna, Gekko, Mandolin, and Casa Tua.

I am not a big fan of shopping, but I find the Design District very appealing. Beyond clothing stores, there’s a great mix of shops. They all decorate their storefronts and interior spaces uniquely, and it’s always worth having a look. Everything is outdoors, and there are cafés, restaurants, and even art galleries. With its speakeasy, the new Tiffany & Co. boutique is a prime example of that.

HL: What has surprised you the most about living in Florida and your husband playing for Inter Miami CF?

AR: What I love the most about Miami is the climate, the people, and the landscape — all this makes you feel like you’re living in perpetual summer. The biggest surprise for us was the warm welcome we received when we arrived. We knew it would be special, but it exceeded all of our expectations.

HL: What does a day in your life look like?

AR: My daily life is quite normal. We wake up early, take the kids to school, and then I head to the gym or try to engage in some physical activity. The rest of the morning and day is dedicated to work. If I have any meetings, events, or work commitments, I try to schedule them while the kids are at school. In the afternoon, I focus on spending time with them. We attend their extracurricular activities, have an early dinner, and then it’s bedtime.

HL: What’s your ideal day with your family and, conversely, your ideal day by yourself?

AR: An ideal family day would be getting together with everyone, spending time with friends, and having an asado. As for a day alone, I can’t even remember the last time I had an entire day to myself! But I have to say that exercising, reading, and watching a movie would be perfect.

HL: How would you describe your personal style?

AR: It has evolved over the years, and being surrounded by fashion professionals has helped me understand what suits me, which pieces are worth investing in, and how to build a solid wardrobe. If I had to describe my style, it would be laid-back, casual, and with comfortable fabrics. I like my outfits to really reflect who I am.

HL: How did your partnership with Tiffany & Co. begin? How has it been working with the brand?

AR: It has been and continues to be a dream. I’ve always admired the brand, and having the opportunity to work with them and the team at Tiffany & Co. is incredible.

HL: Do you have any favorite Tiffany & Co. pieces?

AR: I love the Victoria collection. It’s perfect for special occasions and it’s made of pieces that you never have to take off. For everyday wear, I also really like the Lock collection. I think both the Victoria and the Lock pieces are very versatile: they can be worn with casual outfits or paired with something more formal.

HL: Looking ahead, what are some personal goals for the next year or so?

AR: On a personal level, I’d like to continue working with brands I admire and that trust me. I want to keep learning and improving every day. Additionally, I’d like to bring more visibility to the social projects I’m involved in and do whatever I can to support them. As for my family, I hope we continue to grow together and enjoy our time with the kids.

HL: Looking back, what advice do you wish you could give to your younger self?

AR: Trust yourself, follow your instincts, and always stay close to your family. Finally, I’d also like to express my gratitude once again to the entire magazine team, to Tiffany & Co., and to my own team for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. It has been a wonderful experience, and I hope we can repeat it in the future.

MAKE ROOM, MIAMI

Miami’s dining scene is hotter than ever and shows no sign of cooling down. Here are the restaurants to have on your radar this fall.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

MOTHER WOLF

This October, two-time James-Beard-nominated chef Evan Funke’s Mother Wolf will open in Miami’s Design District, upholding the same lavish dining atmosphere and A-list clientele that its Los Angeles and Las Vegas outposts have fostered. In collaboration with Ten Five Hospitality, Mother Wolf will open at the corner of 39th and 2nd, among luxury leaders like Gucci, Tom Ford, Dior, and Prada. As chef Funke’s tribute to the culinary heritage of La Cucina Romana, Mother Wolf draws inspiration from the Eternal City. “I’m thrilled to bring the rich mosaic of Rome’s culinary traditions to Miami, a city that is brimming with culture and endless experiences,” he says. The menu will feature a selection of traditional handmade pastas, crisp wood-fired pizzas, and hyper-seasonal ingredients, all set in an elegant ambiance where Italian tradition meets Miami opulence. 3841 NE 2nd Ave, 33137

CASA NEOS

Following the insane success of MILA, Riviera Dining Group has opened their latest concept on the Miami River, CASA NEOS. Spanning two stories, the restaurant takes guests on a sensory journey inspired by the Aegean Islands, seamlessly transitioning from day to night. Conceptualized by chef Michaël Michaelidis, who boasts 26 Michelin stars worth of experience, the restaurant features dishes crafted with the freshest ingredients, including daily catches, prime meats, and wood-fired breads. Designed by Lazaro Rosa-Violan, CASA NEOS is inspired by Greece and Morocco, and features stone walls, natural fabrics, and hand-painted ceramics, ultimately curating an atmosphere of both serene luxury and European lounge vibes in the heart of Miami. 40 SW North River Dr, 33128

JAPÓN AT THE SETAI MIAMI BEACH

Another October opening, Japón at The Setai Miami Beach is poised to become the property’s latest culinary treasure, joining the renowned Jaya and Ocean Grill. Led by acclaimed chefs Vijayudu Veena and Ivàn Monzón, the restaurant offers an immersive exploration of Japan’s rich culinary traditions, featuring a menu that blends intricate flavors with striking presentation. Guests can enjoy indoor dining or the serene outdoor courtyard, designed by Saladino Design Studios, where a striking Japanese pagoda, glowing lanterns, and traditional Japanese architecture set the scene. The signature Kyoto Room offers an exclusive private dining experience for up to 14 guests, paying tribute to the cultural heart of Japan right here in Miami Beach. 2001 Collins Ave, 33139

LAFAYETTE STEAKHOUSE

Mr. Hospitality Miami has recently introduced Lafayette Steakhouse, a new luxurious dining spot in the heart of Brickell. Situated in the renowned space previously occupied by El Tucán, Lafayette merges speakeasy charm with European sophistication, offering a high-end American steakhouse experience. Helmed by chef Kylian Goussot, who trained at Michelin-starred establishments, the menu showcases top-quality, dry-aged USDA prime cuts and seafood, expertly prepared using a Josper charcoal oven. The restaurant’s elegant design, conceived by Carlos Rodriguez of Escala Forma Studio, combines lavish mahogany, leather, and luxurious fabrics to create a classic yet contemporary ambiance. 1111 SW 1st Ave, 33130

THE POWER OF THE FIRST GROWTH

Philippe Sereys de Rothschild shares what makes Château Mouton Rothschild truly great... and that is emotion.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

RUNNING ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS WINE BRANDS IN THE WORLD is not an easy task, but Philippe Sereys de Rothschild manages to do so with grace and humility. The chairman and CEO of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA has one goal in mind for those who drink his storied Premier Cru Classé, Château Mouton Rothschild, which is set over several hundred acres in Pauillac, France, near Bordeaux — and that is happiness

“I am not a winemaker; I am not here to make wine. What I am here to do is make sure that the people who drink it are happy. I’m here to make sure that people who do open the bottle of one of our products — into which we put so much passion — have a great time. That’s really our mission, to make sure that people who enjoy our wines really enjoy them.”

Here, we sit down with the charismatic businessman to talk about how wine has shaped his family’s past, and how he and his siblings are intending to shape its future.

Was this path one you always intended to follow given that it’s your family’s business?

For me, it’s never been an obligation — it’s been an opportunity more than anything, and I’ve always treated this path as an opportunity. My mother asked me to step on the board in 1991, and I did. And when she passed away in 2014, I started to ask myself, am I the right person to do it or not? And after thinking about it, and discussing it with the family, there was a global agreement that it would be a good idea if I spent 100 percent of my

time managing the business. And I’m very happy to do it today. I was very happy to do it yesterday, and I’ll be very happy to do it tomorrow.

How do you keep things consistent?

By listening to everything. Listening to the terroir. Listening to the climate. Listening to the people. People’s tastes evolve, and you have to understand what they are looking for, what they are waiting for.

What is the best business advice you can share?

Business is about patience and humility. You have to have people who question themselves all the time. Why is this blending right? Could we do a better one? Why do we harvest on that date? When you start a vintage, you start all over again, from scratch. Obviously, your experience gives you a certain form of intuition, but you also need a bit of technique. The rest is really listening to the terroir, listening to the climate, listening to other people. Deciding on when you harvest is never something that is done alone. The other thing to learn is patience. It’s a slow-motion business.

What is something important you can share about the wine business? Making great wine takes a lot of experience. It’s a lot of technique, a lot of time, a lot of discipline and rigor. Wine is also a great luxury, because it makes you share moments with others that you otherwise wouldn’t. It invites you to share emotions and perceptions of flavors and ideas — and I think that’s a fundamental part of life.

“The cascade of a waterfall is a powerful, breathtaking, and mesmerizing spectacle. I was keen on the idea of water acting as a link and a crossing point between heaven and earth in a fragrance embodying this incredible power. A dialogue of scents is introduced at the heart of a lively, joyful fragrance,” explains Francis Kurkdjian, perfume creation director at Parfums Christian Dior. The message behind Sauvage Eau Forte is clear: capturing the tangible and intangible essence of water.

A revolution in the industry, Sauvage Eau Forte is the first high-concentration men’s composition in a water-based formula, free of alcohol, using a high-pressure nano-emulsion technique exclusive to Dior. With water as the perfume’s base, Kurkdjian mastered the intricacies of water that don’t meet the naked eye through the olfactory senses. “To convey water’s physical and symbolic power, I reinvented the signature freshness by moving away from the traditional citrus notes to accentuate a flight of fresh and aromatic spices. A soaring freshness, with extraordinary persistence, is established. Sauvage Eau Forte explores the sensation of a contrast between a wet-effect and woody amber sensuality,” he says.

That is how the juxtaposing scent of Sauvage Eau Forte was born: a brilliant blend of spicy, woody, and musky notes with an intense freshness to create a men’s fragrance that exudes simultaneously the lightness of an eau de toilette and the long-lasting wear of a perfume.

PHARRELL WILLIAMS BOTTLES SUNLIGHT FOR HIS FORAY INTO FRAGRANCES WITH LOUIS VUITTON.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

Louis Vuitton men’s creative director Pharrell Williams aimed for the sun when creating his first fragrance for Louis Vuitton, LVERS, the result of a collaborative effort between Williams and Louis Vuitton’s in-house perfumer, Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Together, they sought to explore the scent of the sun as a sensation and found ways to capture light and radiate warmth.

“The theme of sunlight that lit up Pharrell’s debut show on Pont Neuf in June 2023 inspired us to convey photosynthesis in scent. It may sound abstract, but if you look at life, photosynthesis is the starting point for everything,” notes Cavallier-Belletrud.

Inspired by the science of photosynthesis, LVRS encapsulates the essence of nature’s transformation under the sun. Expertly crafted with delicate green notes of leaves and freshly grown grass, the fragrance is grounded in cedarwood, extracted from reclaimed carpentry wood and sandalwood to create a rich, earthy base. The composition is uplifted by the crispness of ginger and zesty bergamot, evoking the first rays of sunrise. Each ingredient carries a historical significance, from ancient Greek remedies to Eastern medicine, infusing the fragrance with a sense of well-being and renewal.

Though the bottle shape is cylindrical, similar to Louis Vuitton’s Les Parfums bottles, it is coated with a prismatic finish that reflects, refracts, and imitates sunlight, creating a bright effect reminiscent of sunlight on the skin.

Erase Summer’s Sun Damage With Laser Treatments This Fall

BY DR. ANNA AVALIANI

AS THE WARM SUMMER DAYS FADE AND WE WELCOME THE COOLER temperatures of the fall season, many people are eager to repair the effects of sun exposure on their skin. According to Dr. Anna Avaliani, fall marks the beginning of laser season — a prime time to address skin damage caused by UV rays, renew your complexion, and give your skin a fresh start. Lasers have become a go-to treatment to reverse sun damage, remove damaged skin cells, and even tackle precancerous lesions. But what makes lasers so effective, and why is fall the ideal time to undergo these treatments?

WHY FALL IS THE BEST TIME FOR LASER TREATMENTS

After a summer of fun in the sun, the skin often shows signs of overexposure — think hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots. Here are some of the reasons why fall is the perfect time to invest in laser treatments.

1. Limited sun exposure: Post-treatment, it’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure as the skin heals and regenerates. The cooler months make it easier to minimize sun exposure, reducing the risk of complications like hyperpigmentation.

2. Recovery time: As temperatures cool down, people spend more time indoors, making it easier to stay out of the sun and allow the skin to heal without interruption.

3. A fresh start: Laser treatments can help prepare your skin for the holiday season, ensuring your complexion is glowing and looks rejuvenated.

LASERS FOR SUN DAMAGE: HOW THEY WORK

Laser treatments are highly effective at targeting sun-damaged skin and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. Here are some of the ways they can work for you.

• Targeting pigmentation: Lasers can target specific areas of pigmentation caused by UV exposure. PicoSure Focus laser, for example, uses picosecond technology to break down pigment into tiny particles, helping to fade sunspots and even out skin tone.

• Collagen stimulation: Many laser treatments, such as fractional lasers, not only remove damaged skin cells, but also stimulate collagen production. This process helps improve skin texture, minimize fine lines, and give the skin a youthful appearance.

• Resurfacing the skin: Ablative lasers, such as CO2 and Erbium lasers, work by removing the top layers of the skin, encouraging new, healthy skin to form in its place. These treatments are effective for deeper sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles.

PRECANCEROUS CELL REMOVAL

In addition to esthetic benefits, laser treatments can also target potentially harmful sun damage. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to the development of precancerous cells known as actinic keratoses. Left untreated, these lesions can sometimes progress to skin cancer. Ablative laser treatments can help remove precancerous cells, offering a dual benefit of improving the appearance of the skin while reducing the risk of skin cancer.

KEEPING SKIN YOUNG: THE LONG-TERM BENEFITS OF LASER TREATMENTS

Laser treatments not only reverse the visible effects of sun damage but also provide long-term benefits for skin health. These include the following:

• Prevention of future damage: By addressing sun damage early on, you can prevent more severe skin issues from developing later. Treatments such as PicoSure Focus laser can stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, promoting skin cell regeneration and ensuring a fresh, healthy complexion for years to come.

• Tighter, smoother skin: As lasers stimulate collagen production, the skin becomes firmer and smoother, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and laxity.

• Even skin tone: Lasers can reduce the appearance of dark spots, redness, and broken capillaries, leaving the skin looking more even and vibrant.

Whether you’re looking to improve skin texture, boost collagen production, or keep your skin healthy and youthful, laser treatments offer a comprehensive solution to get your skin ready for the cooler months ahead.

So, this fall, embrace the opportunity to give your skin the care it deserves — because laser season is all about looking and feeling your best.

Resin Bonding: The Fast Track To A PicturePerfect Smile

BY DR. MIMI YEUNG

RESIN BONDING HAS EMERGED AS A POPULAR AND EFFECTIVE SOLUTION to enhance the appearance of your smile. This innovative technique involves applying a specially formulated resin — meticulously colored to match the natural shade of your teeth — directly onto existing teeth. Once applied, the resin is hardened using a specialized light, creating a durable bond that seamlessly integrates with your natural tooth structure.

WHAT IS RESIN BONDING?

Resin bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a composite resin material to improve the esthetic and structural integrity of teeth. This technique is ideal for addressing a variety of dental concerns, including:

• Chips and cracks: Resin can effectively restore damaged teeth, filling in chips and cracks to restore their original shape and function.

• Discoloration: The resin can cover stains or discoloration, giving your teeth a brighter, more uniform appearance.

• Gaps between teeth: Bonding can close small gaps between teeth, enhancing your smile’s overall harmony.

• Misshapen teeth: The procedure allows for the reshaping of irregularly shaped teeth, creating a more balanced look.

THE PROCESS: FROM CONSULTATION TO COMPLETION

1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation with a qualified dentist, who will assess your dental needs and discuss your desired outcomes. They will explain the resin bonding process, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.

2. Preparation: In most cases, minimal preparation is required. The dentist may lightly etch the surface of the tooth to enhance adhesion, ensuring a strong bond between the resin and your natural tooth.

3. Application of resin: The dentist carefully applies the colored resin to the tooth, sculpting it to achieve the desired shape and contour. This meticulous process allows for a natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.

4. Hardening the bond: Once the resin is in place, a special light is used to harden it. This step is crucial, as it solidifies the bond, making it durable and long-lasting.

5. Finishing touches: After hardening, the dentist will polish the resin to achieve a smooth and natural finish, ensuring that your smile looks radiant and flawless.

BENEFITS OF RESIN BONDING

• Quick and convenient: The procedure typically takes only one appointment, making it a time-efficient option for those seeking immediate improvements to their smile.

• Minimally invasive: Unlike other cosmetic procedures, resin bonding requires little to no removal of tooth enamel, preserving the integrity of your natural teeth.

• Cost-effective: Resin bonding is often more affordable than crowns and veneers, providing an attractive solution for patients on a budget.

• Versatile: This technique can address various cosmetic issues, making it a flexible option for many patients.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

After your resin bonding treatment, maintaining your new smile is essential. Here are some tips to keep your bonded teeth in top shape.

• Good oral hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to prevent decay and maintain the health of your teeth and gums.

• Avoid staining foods: While the resin is durable, it can be susceptible to staining. Limiting the consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining agents can help preserve your smile.

• Regular dental check-ups: Routine visits to your dentist will ensure that your bonded teeth remain in excellent condition and allow for any necessary adjustments or repairs.

Resin bonding is a remarkable blend of artistry and dental science, offering a swift and effective way to enhance your smile. With its minimally invasive approach and immediate results, it’s no wonder that more individuals are choosing this innovative technique.

By visiting Dr. Mimi Yeung at M.Y. Dental Spa in Manhattan, New York, you can discover how resin bonding can address your unique dental concerns, leaving you with a radiant and confident smile.

2025 Aston Martin DBX707

Float like a butterfly, sting like A bee.

BY TIM LAPPEN

YOU MIGHT WONDER WHY A PHRASE ASSOCIATED WITH MOHAMMED

Ali and boxing is the subtitle of a car story. Here’s the connection: Aston Martin is a reasonably small car company competing with brands who have huge corporate backings. Yet, Aston brings out new models more often than some other competitors and creates some of the most beautiful cars in the world. One might say that Aston is punching well above its weight.

Now, let’s look at another concept, which I need to address up front: bias. My bias in favor of Aston Martin began (as near as I can recall) when my best friend, Don, got a Scalextric slot-car set and I chose the Aston Martin as my avatar. My love for the brand only deepened as I grew older and saw Astons winning races. That affection reached the place where I have now owned three of the brand’s finest and loved them all. Some may have preferences about the cars they review but I am disclosing here my rose-colored filter up front. Still interested? Read on.

My latest Aston sojourn was to get up close and personal with the refreshened DBX707 (their super-SUV model) in the California hills and canyons around the Napa, Russian River, and Alexander Valleys. Starting

in Healdsburg — a lovely historic town founded in 1857, which now has a somewhat mid-century vibe — served as a perfect counterpoint to the technologically full and wildly colored DBXs that were our rides. An example of how well the town was suited to host these Astons? Ye olde ice-cream shoppe served artisan ice creams and a range of coffee brands so vast that it would make Juan Valdez blush.

But let’s segue over to the Aston Martin. The DBX was introduced in 2020 and, early in 2022, Aston introduced a spicy version, the DBX707 (apparently “007” was taken). While quite similar, the 707 was fitted with a 697 hp motor pumping out 664 pound-feet of torque, enough huevos to motivate the 4,940-pound ute from 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds (compared to the standard DBX’s 542 hp, 516 pound-feet of torque and a 0-60 mph sprint in 4.5 seconds). But as is their wont, for model year 2025, Aston decided to update the DBX707 this year (and drop the “standard” DBX) — and the results are impressive. First off, gone is the infotainment system sourced from another company (which was not touch-sensitive) and, I must say, as their first go with homegrown infotainment, I was impressed with the new unit. Having spent

considerable time with the DB12 (thank you for the San Francisco-to-Pebble Beach loan, Aston!), I was quite familiar with the improved system, and the unit forms the basis for the new 707’s center-stack performance center.

Aston also updated the interior of the 2025 707 in a few telling ways: the touchscreen is 10.2 inches; the manufacturer has added Apple Car Play, Android Auto, and two USB-C ports; the standard audio system has 14 speakers fired by 800 watts of power (a 1600-watt, 23-speaker system from Bowers & Wilkins is available); the interior can now be done as a monotone or duo-tone; and the center console is much like the one of the DB12 and the Vantage.

Next, there were some new colors on offer, almost as if they had Timothy Leary send over his color palette. My favorites of the more than 60 new bright and shiny hues on the configuration side include “Digital Violet,” “Storm Purple,” “Sprint Green,” “Liquid Crimson,” “Synapse Orange,” and “Ultra Yellow.” Many of the cars in Healdsburg were of these vibrant shades — all stunning in person. Especially in one of the more brilliant exteriors, the 707 is definitely not your father’s Aston Martin!

The mechanicals of the new 707 are pretty much unchanged from last year’s, which is fine with me, as I really enjoyed the prior iteration (I had it for a week). I think that the 48-volt anti-roll system really makes the car — it can respond almost instantaneously to the pitch and roll of the body. Especially for a heavy vehicle with a high center of gravity, the handling is more sports car than SUV.

The roads around Healdsburg were terrific for the drive. We went past vineyards, through forests, out to the ocean, and even had a lunch stop at Sea Ranch. We were able to experience the DBX707 in tight twisties, sweeping turns, and higher-speed straights, and the Astons handled all of it with aplomb. The active suspension and anti-roll features were on full display, working perfectly. The 707 felt completely at home in all conditions and drove more like a grand touring car than an SUV. This is helped by Aston fitting all four wheels as close to the four corners of the car as possible.

While it only was a two-day experience, we certainly had enough time to put the DBXs through their paces, and they did admirably. This model is a terrific refinement over the prior editions and the huge increase in performance adds immeasurably. I came away from the experience wanting more... and isn’t that the best you can ask for?

A WONDER-FUL WORLD

A GUIDE TO THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD: WHAT THEY ARE, WHERE THEY’RE LOCATED, AND WHERE YOU SHOULD STAY (LUXURIOUSLY, OF COURSE) ON THESE EPIC ADVENTURES.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

“Adventure” and “luxury” don’t have to be mutually exclusive things, as I’ve discovered well. If you’re someone who embraces both, a quest to explore all seven of the new wonders of the world will be right up your alley. Of the original wonders — the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Pyramids of Giza, only the latter is still standing. So, in 2007, over 100 million global citizens cast their vote for the newest wonders, all highlighted here. Do you agree with the choices they made? And more importantly, are you ready for an adventure?

WONDER: MACHU PICCHU

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Incan citadel situated on a mountain ridge 7,970 feet above sea level in Peru’s Sacred Valley, just 50 miles outside of Cusco. It wasn’t actually discovered until 1911 (by American historian Hiram Bingham), but although many archaeologists have taken educated guesses about its past, little is truly known. Most believe that it was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti, which was abandoned during the Spanish Conquest. It was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

STAY: TAMBO DEL INKA + PALACIO DEL INKA

A Luxury Collection Resort & Spa A Luxury Collection Hotel

Many say that the most worthwhile things in life are those you have to work for, and that is definitely the case when it comes to Machu Picchu. Those determined to climb to the top of this mountain will take extraordinary measures to get there. Most will fly into the capital city of Lima and take a connecting flight to Cusco. Given that Lima is one of the hottest culinary destinations in the world — full of World’s 50 Best Restaurants and Michelin-starred eateries such as Virgilio Martínez’s Central and Mitsuharu ‘Micha’ Tsumura’s Maido, as well as World’s Best Bars like Aaron Diaz’s Carnaval, it’s best to spend a night or two and indulge. Stay at the centrally located five-star The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center, a sleek oasis with modern amenities and an excellent secret bar in Alphonse, a speakeasy inspired by the prohibition era and the life of Alphonse Capone. From there, carry on to Cusco; a great place to spend a few days drinking Pisco and getting acclimated to the altitude (it’s 8,000 feet above sea level). Check in to Palacio del Inka, a Luxury Collection Hotel that was part of the most famous temple of the Incan time, Qorikancha (Temple of the Sun); as such, it’s considered to be a historic landmark. The property is housed inside a 500-year-old mansion in the heart of Cusco that has a truly ancient feel thanks to its opulent, Colonial-style décor, stone archways, and ornate, gilded antiques. Make sure to stop into the hotel’s Rumi Bar to view an original, 200 square-foot Inca stone wall, learn how to make a Pisco Sour, and take an experiential cocktail journey through the apus (or mountains) of Cusco. Then, it’s time to head to the main attraction: Machu Picchu. Stay at Tambo del Inka, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, the first LEED-certified hotel in Peru, located in Urubamba within Peru’s Sacred Valley. It’s breathtaking and quietly luxurious, with rooms and suites that offer private balconies with dramatic views of the Andes Mountains and the Vilcanota River. Its Kallpa Spa is one of the best in the country, with treatments that utilize ingredients from the Incas era. There’s also a heated indoor and outdoor swimming pool that offers pictureperfect views of the mountains; an authentic Andean forest within the hotel grounds; and llamas that hang out in the hotel lobby to greet guests. Sacred Valley, Av. Ferrocarril S/N, Urubamba 08660, Peru + Santo Domingo 259, Cusco 08002, Peru

WONDER: THE COLOSSEUM

The Colosseum, which is located smack, dab in the center of Rome just east of the Forum, has the distinction of being the largest amphitheater ever built. It was initially used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles, whereupon 50,000 to 80,000 spectators could witness everything from executions to reenactments of famous battles.

STAY: HOTEL HASSLER ROMA

It’s hard not to become obsessed with Hotel Hassler; it is the gold standard in Rome, after all. It commands one of the most exclusive views in the world, set at the top of the Spanish Steps, presiding over the churches, domes, and rooftops of the Eternal City like the grand dame that it is. Stay in the Hassler Penthouse Suite, which features Botticino marble floors; luxurious Hermès fabrics in hues of dove grey, rich burgundy, and orange; a grand piano; panoramic terraces; Chroma therapy showers for re-energization; use of a private butler; and even its own custom-made line of fine bone china tableware. Yet, you can’t go wrong with any of the rooms or suites here, given that each is filled with masterpieces of art and antiques such as Venetian lamps and chandeliers from Murano, Limoges porcelains, and French crystal. The property’s crown jewel is its Michelin-starred rooftop restaurant Imàgo, which is helmed by young chef Andrea Antonini. In addition to its exquisite Italian fare, the eatery offers 360-degree views of the city that are truly unbeatable. Additionally, the hotel — which also features a stunning spa and Rossano Ferretti salon — even has its own unique fragrance, Amovero, created by famed Italian “nose,” master perfumer Lorenzo Dante Ferro. Piazza della Trinità dei Monti, 6, 00187 Roma RM, Italy

WONDER: PETRA

The ancient city of Petra is a historical icon in southern Jordan, famous for its rockcut architecture and water conduit system. “The Rose City,” dubbed as such for its petal-pink rock structures, is Jordan’s most-visited tourist attraction and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.

STAY: MÖVENPICK RESORT PETRA

For those looking to visit the ancient city of Petra, the Mövenpick Resort Petra could not be a better (or closer) location: the hotel is located right at the entrance to the historical Petra Archeological Park. Its enviable location makes it a first choice for discerning travelers, who come to marvel at the Nabatean citadel. Its authentic antique furnishings, Oriental artwork, and classic architecture give it a locationally distinctive feel, while its spectacular sunset views across the “Valley of Moses” make it truly unbeatable in the area. Seasonal dining outlets make the most of the local desert climate, including Al Iwan, which offers cuisine in a candlelit Middle Eastern setting in the winter, while its Al Ghadeer Roof Garden transforms the space into a fairytale like setting under the stars in the summer. The hotel also features the Al Maqa’ad Bar, which guests refer to as “a unique piece of Islamic art” due to its gold leaf walls, hand-carved wooden screens, masterpiece ceiling, and rich fabrics; a spa; tea room; and — quite uniquely — a “chocolate hour” in its lobby lounge, which offers tastings of its house-made Mövenpick chocolates.

WONDER: CHRIST THE REDEEMER

Christ the Redeemer, an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ located at the peak of the 2,300-foot Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the most iconic sights in the world. The sculpture, who has become a global homage to Christianity, stands at 98 feet tall — not including its 26-foot pedestal or its widespread, 92-foot arms — and weighs a whopping 635 metric tons.

STAY: HOTEL FASANO RIO DE JANEIRO

Geographically, it’s hard to beat the Fasano, which is located by the sea on Avenida Vieira Souto in the heart of Ipanema. As designed by world-renowned architect Philippe Starck, the eight-story property oozes 1950s and ‘60s glamour with its use of wood, glass, marble, and dark hardwood floors throughout its 89 rooms, 42 of which have ocean views. The property’s pièce de résistance is its rooftop infinity pool, which offers endless, breathtaking views of Ipanema, Leblon, Corcovado, and the Two Brothers Mountain. Av. Vieira Souto, 80 - Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, 22420-002, Brazil

WONDER: GREAT WALL OF CHINA

“Great” is an understatement when it comes to China’s Great Wall, one of the world’s largest building-construction projects. Archaeologists still argue about its length, of which is debatably between 5,500 and 13,170 miles. What is definitively known is that its construction began in seventh century BCE and continued for an additional two millennia — and that it is one of the few worldwide landmarks that can be seen from space.

STAY: BVLGARI HOTEL, BEIJING

Although most folks won’t be able to walk the entirety of the Great Wall of China (especially given that no one seems to know exactly how long it actually is), a great place to enter is close to China’s capital city of Beijing, roughly a 90-minute drive away. Our property pick is for the Bvlgari Hotel, Beijing, a true urban oasis set in the midst of Chaoyang, the Embassy District on the banks of the Liangma River. This serene playground is set amidst lush private gardens created by international landscape designer Enzo Enea, founder of the Tree Museum in Zurich. The hotel’s 119 exquisitely furnished rooms use Italian luxury residential furniture brands like Maxalto, B&B Italia, and Flos, inclusive of its exceptional Bvlgari Suite, which, at over 1,300 square feet, is one of the largest in Beijing. The hotel is also home to Il Ristorante - Niko Romito, a gorgeous eatery highlighted by customdesigned Murano glass chandeliers as well as chairs and columns wrapped in dark-brown leather; the Bvlgari Spa, with a distinctive pool made of shimmering mosaic tiles reminiscent of the historic Terme di Caracalla Roman baths; and a fleet of Maserati limousines.

WONDER: CHICHÉN ITZÁ

Chichén Itzá is an ancient Mayan city on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula that was built sometime between the 9th and 12th centuries. It’s wild to think how advanced the Mayans were given that its imposing, 79-foot primary structure, El Castillo (The Castle), features 365 steps, the same number of days in the solar year. During the spring and fall equinoxes, the setting sun casts shadows on the pyramid that give the appearance of a serpent slithering down the north stairway; at its base is a stone snake head.

STAY: CHABLÉ YUCATÁN

There are very few luxury hotels close to Chichén Itzá. As such, our recommendation, Chablé Yucatán, is still a two-hour drive away — but what you’ll find upon arrival is worth the wait. This is the first hotel in the world to be built around a cenote, a naturally-formed underground pool deemed sacred by the Mayans. Guests will feel the healing begin as soon as they set foot on the property, and that wellness vibe continues via healing ceremonies that take place in a traditional temazcal, or steam house, with energy clearing rituals, treatments that use the honey from Melipona bees, a sacred species endemic to the Yucatán Peninsula, and more. It’s intimate, with only 40 casitas on site, ensuring optimal privacy, and it has a distinctive culinary pedigree in that Jorge Vallejo, the chef behind Mexico City’s Quintonil, one of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, helms its flagship restaurant, Ixi’im (which also houses the largest tequila collection in the world, with more than 3,700 unique bottles). Tablaje #642, Chocholá, C.P. 97816, Yucatán, México

WONDER: TAJ MAHAL

The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna River in the Indian city of Agra, commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It took nearly 30 years to fully complete, with an estimated cost of what would be, today, $827 million. In 1983, it became a designated UNESCO World Heritage site.

STAY: THE OBEROI AMARVILAS, AGRA

The Oberoi Amarvilas is located less than a half mile away from the iconic Taj Mahal. Coupled with its unparalleled opulence, there truly isn’t a better place to stay when visiting the area. The property, which is spread over a little more than eight acres of elaborate gardens, terraced lawns, fountains, reflection pools, and pavilions, features a classical design that pays tribute to Moorish and Mughal architecture, accentuating awe-inspiring vistas of the most exquisite mausoleum in the world. Its interiors follow suit with touches of intricate filigree and marble inlay work, jaali (screens), gold thread and bead embroidery, woodcarvings, and hand-woven tapestries. Stay in the Kohinoor suite, a roughly 3,000 square-foot paradise named after the legendary diamond of Indian origin and which features private open-air terraces and a bathroom with a rain shower head that provides temperature-controlled rain-on-tap and a stand-alone bathtub strategically positioned in front of a huge single-pane glass window that overlooks the Taj Mahal. Make sure to pop into The Bar, which happens to be the only bar in the world which has a direct and uninterrupted view of the Taj Mahal.

The Connection Between Watches & Cars Is Deeper Than We Think

One-on-one with Rolex testimonee Jenson Button.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

HEADING INTO MY FIRST-EVER MONTEREY CAR WEEK WITH Rolex this year, I had two contrasting sentiments: on the one hand, I felt confident that I knew what to expect, having edited, read about, and researched many past Monterey Car Weeks (The Quail, the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance — what more could there be?). On the other (very polarizing) hand, I realized I had no idea what to expect. As I arrived at The Inn at Spanish Bay, I embraced the latter feeling — that I truly didn’t know what lay ahead. And that, I discovered, was the true beauty of my first Car Week.

The weekend is divided into three events: The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering; the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, which celebrated its 50th anniversary of historic racing; and the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance, presented by Rolex. Each event boasts its own sense of pride and individuality in what it brings to the industry, creating quite a dynamic weekend.

The relationship between cars and watches is the industry’s ‘tale as old as time.’ And while I can certainly attest to that from numerous collaborations I have covered over the years — like TAG Heuer and Porsche, Richard Mille and McLaren, Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini, and so on — sitting down with Rolex testimonee and 2009 FIA Formula 1 Drivers’ World Champion Jenson Button opened my eyes to another dimension in the deep, deep relationship.

Within the first few minutes of chatting with Button at The Quail — his third year attending Car Week, making him a true veteran — he made a profound statement that unintentionally shaped my weekend: “I love hypercars, and I love sports cars,” Button began, “but I think I am like a lot of people in the industry in that I love the connection to

cars. I think people are struggling to find that nowadays with the more modern cars out there. For me, it’s about the connection to the car, not just how fast it will go.”

Connection is often what I build my timepiece interviews around, so hearing this ‘buzzword’ immediately made me more interested in cars than I expected. Ahead, we delve into Button’s connection to Rolex, as he reveals his personal parallels between motorsport and watches, and more.

HAUTE TIME: What is your history with Rolex and how did you get connected to the brand?

JENSON BUTTON: I’ve been a testimonee for Rolex for almost three years now; it’s the only brand I’ve pushed for so long to be part of, but it’s a brand I love. It comes from the first year I raced in Formula 1 with my late father, who was with me through my whole career. We bought the exact same Rolex Daytonas together in 2000 and I still have that watch; I actually have it here with me (the Rolex Daytona in steel with the black dial). That was my first splurge when I got into Formula 1, and then my father, for his 70th birthday, asked if I would be interested in buying him a Rolex. And I was like, wow, okay, Dad, we’re going big for your 70th. He showed me a picture of this watch — it was a rose gold Daytona with a black leather strap and brown dial. I wasn’t sure if it worked [esthetically], but I got it for his birthday and, sadly, he passed away not so long after that, so I have his watch now. I didn’t think that those colors would work, but it’s unbelievable. His watch is very special. It’s the moments in time with Rolex; it’s all about the memories. Watches are like perfume or music — something that takes you back to a moment in time.

HT: For you, what is the connection between motorsports and watches?

JB: It’s the mechanical side that I love. With a Formula 1 car, everything is moving at a much higher resolution than a watch. But the thing that I love about a watch is the mechanism. For example, a gearbox in a Formula 1 car has to be so precise to work. The difference between a gearbox and a Formula 1 car is that you have a lot of oil, so it’s easier for the cogs to fit together. Whereas with a watch — well, not every watch) — but pretty much all watches have oil, but it’s minimal. So, the precision is that it needs to be more precise than even a Formula 1 car, which is crazy.

Formula 1 is all about precision and pushing the boundaries, and that’s what I love about motor racing, especially Formula 1. And that’s what Rolex is all about. Their connection to motorsport, for decades — like the Daytona watch, which comes from a race — is something special.

HT: Do you associate a certain race or career highlight with a specific timepiece?

JB: The big one for me has always been Daytona. It was my first time racing at Daytona this year, and it happened just after my 44th birthday, which made it even more special. The most incredible thing about that race is that everyone wants to win — not just for the victory itself, but to get a Rolex. It’s about winning the Daytona Rolex, and winning one means so much. People spend millions of dollars on motor racing, and it all comes down to winning a watch. That’s what Rolex represents to many people, especially the Daytona.

A MAJOR MILESTONE

Grand Seiko celebrates two decades of Caliber 9R Spring Drive with limited editions.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

GRAND SEIKO MARKS A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE IN horological innovation this year: the 20th anniversary of its iconic Caliber 9R Spring Drive. To commemorate this achievement, the brand introduces two stunning timepieces to the Elegance Collection, both inspired by the beauty of Mount Hotaka during fall sunrises. The Spring Drive technology, first conceptualized in the 1970s, sought to merge the best of both worlds: the power derived from a traditional mainspring and the precision of electronic watchmaking. This innovative fusion gave birth to a movement that redefined accuracy, surpassing the limits of conventional mechanical watches. Over the years, the technology has evolved into the Caliber 9R, a series of movements celebrated for their precision, craftsmanship, and the signature smooth glide of their second hand. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Caliber 9R, Grand Seiko introduces two limitededition Spring Drive models, each reflecting the serene beauty and dynamic hues of the Hotaka mountains at dawn.

The SBGY035

The first of the two new releases, the SBGY035 embodies the moment when the sun begins its ascent over Mount Hotaka, casting a radiant glow over the vibrant fall leaves. The dial, with its deep red periphery transitioning to a brighter center, mimics the natural gradation of the dawn sky. This model is crafted with a stainless steel case, measuring a refined 38.5mm diameter and a slim 10.2mm thickness. The watch is powered by the manual-winding Spring Drive Caliber 9R31, which boasts a 72-hour power reserve and an impressive accuracy of ±15 seconds per month. Presented on a redbrown crocodile leather strap, the SBGY035 is a limited edition of 700 pieces, available from November 2024 at Grand Seiko boutiques and select retail partners worldwide.

The SBGA499

The second model, the SBGA499, showcases a bold red dial inspired by the vibrant fall foliage illuminated by the golden morning sun. This creation features a recessed power-reserve indicator in a copperpink hue, adding depth and enhancing the legibility of the watch. Set against the rich red dial, the rose gold GS logo evokes the enchanting transition of fall leaves, capturing the very essence of the season. Powered by the automatic Caliber 9R65, the first movement of the 9R family, the SBGA499 ensures a high level of accuracy, maintaining a deviation of only ±15 seconds per month. The timepiece is enclosed in a 40.2mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 12.8mm, offering a water resistance of up to 10 bar. Accompanied by a stainless steel bracelet, this model, which is now available, was made as a limited edition of 1,300 pieces.

Louis Vuitton Ushers In A New Era For The Escale

Deemed the next chapter in Louis Vuitton watchmaking by Jean Arnault, the new Escale follows the immense success of the Tambour.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

I HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAD HAD MY CALENDAR CONFIDENTIALLY marked for June 11 and the unveiling of the Louis Vuitton Escale, but when I woke up and saw Jean Arnault’s (the Director of Watchmaking Marketing & Development at Louis Vuitton) Instagram post of a wrist shot of the Escale, I was once again pleasantly surprised by what I saw. After three years of meticulous crafting, Louis Vuitton has released four new models that redefine the Escale: one with a platinum case and meteorite dial, another platinum model with an onyx dial, two designed with a rose gold case with a silver dial, and the other with a blue dial.

This latest addition to the Escale collection, which marks its 10th anniversary, is a testament to the Maison’s dedication to artisanal craftsmanship and fine watchmaking. “Escale is synonymous with the art of travel, the philosophy that lies at the heart of Louis Vuitton,” reveals Arnault. “When travel transcends its utilitarian purpose and opens the way to selfdiscovery, the destination is secondary and the journey itself rises to primacy.”

Inspired by the collections of Gaston Louis Vuitton, the third-generation patriarch of the founding family, the new Escale model redefines the art of timekeeping with its fundamental configuration of hours, minutes, and seconds. Louis Vuitton’s unparalleled expertise in trunkmaking is a cornerstone of the new Escale. The iconic lugs, reminiscent of the angled form and riveted exterior of Louis Vuitton trunks, continuously allude to the brand’s storied past. This theme extends to the dial, where angled and riveted markers in polished gold are hand-applied at each quarter, mirroring the brass reinforcements of Louis Vuitton trunks. The dial’s minuterie, punctuated with gold studs, evokes the nails of the lozine that runs along the trunks’ exterior, adding exceptional visual texture and readability.

At the heart of the new Escale models lies the chronometer-certified cal. LFT023 movement, boasting a 50-hour power reserve. Its precision is underscored by the titanium-crafted seconds hand, designed to follow the curve of the dial, and which minimizes parallax error and ensures accurate time reading. This hand is treated with a PVD color process to match the gold hour and minute hands, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship involved.

The cal. LFT023 movement, first introduced in the 2023 Tambour models, is the result of a collaboration between La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton and Le Cercle des Horlogers. This proprietary automatic three-hand movement is a modern embodiment of Louis Vuitton’s watchmaking vision, featuring a 22K rose-gold micro-rotor and mainspring barrel decorated with the Maison’s motifs. Each movement is certified by the Geneva Observatory as a high-precision Swiss chronometer to ensure impeccable timekeeping performance.

Shifting to the exterior of the timepieces, the rose-gold models feature a dial texture inspired by the Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas, achieved through custom dial stamps that convey the suppleness and tactility of canvas on a metal dial. The platinum models further showcase Louis Vuitton’s expertise with a meteorite dial and an onyx central dial set within a bezel adorned with baguette-cut diamonds that create a monochromatic symphony of light and shade.

The new 39mm Louis Vuitton Escale Time-Only Automatic cal. LFT023 fits perfectly into the new timepiece repertoire that Arnault and La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton are building for the brand, adhering to the same elevated elegance of the Tambour.

For its Cruise 2025 collection, Gucci goes back in time to revive classic handbags, evoking a sense of liberation. “I like taking something that we think we know and breaking away from its rules, taking it as far as it can go, without ever distorting it;bringing it towards its opposite and finding harmony,” notes creative director Sabato De Sarno. With creativity flowing freely, two iconic handbags — the Gucci B, which debuted in the mid-1950s, and the Gucci Blondie, introduced in the 1970s — transformed this season.

AVAILABLE AT ALL DIOR MEN BOUTIQUES AND DIOR.COM

We had the incredibly rare opportunity to experience what it is technically like to walk a mile in Lewis Hamilton’s Dior B44 Blade sneakers, which are part of his extensive collection with Dior, the Lifestyle Capsule. Hamilton collaborated with artistic director Kim Jones and the Dior ateliers to create a capsule that is centered around skiing and snowboarding. The collection balances the power and exhilaration of outdoor culture with the finesse of French and global savoir-faire, redefining the boundaries of performance, excellence, and sustainability.

The standout piece is the B44 Blade, a new sneaker silhouette designed with a sporty, retro-futuristic esthetic in four colorways. The shoes feature microfiber and canvas insets, highlighted by the signature “Dior” logo on the upper, heel, and side. The sole has a contrasting blade inspired by the running world, which gives the model its name.

With sustainability at the forefront of the sneaker’s savoir-faire, the shoes from the Dior ateliers blend traditional craftsmanship with technical innovation. Leather is replaced with modern materials, preserving the brand’s heritage while embracing contemporary advancements. “Our values and ideas are aligned, making it easy to bring a creative collection infused with our shared life experiences. We focused on conscious choices and on pushing boundaries with each piece while merging inspiration from my roots in Africa. Drawing inspiration from their fabrics and their belief in natural materials, as well as their vibrant colors and powerful energy has been so empowering,” Hamilton explains. “I hope people everywhere feel good in these pieces we designed so carefully.”

“OUR VALUES AND IDEAS ARE ALIGNED, MAKING IT EASY TO BRING A CREATIVE COLLECTION INFUSED WITH OUR SHARED LIFE EXPERIENCES.”

— LEWIS HAMILTON

Louis Vuitton handbags take center stage this season, highlighting a twist on signature styles like the new reversible design of the Neverfull Bandoulière Inside Out MM tote and the reinterpretation of the iconic Noé shape with the new Noé Trunk.

The Louis Vuitton 2017 Cruise collection show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2016

IT’S BEEN 10 YEARS OF BRILLIANT DESIGN WITH ARTISTIC DIRECTOR NICOLAS GHESQUIÈRE AT THE HELM OF LOUIS VUITTON’S WOMEN’S COLLECTIONS.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

Ghesquière’s discerning eye for design has made a lasting impact over his decade-long tenure at Louis Vuitton, from the juxtaposition of silhouette shapes on the runway to the intentional architectural choices he has made to tell stories through his shows. Ahead, we take a front-row seat at some of the most historical Cruise shows that Ghesquière has imagined and that have defined his time at Louis Vuitton.

2015: PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA For its second-ever Cruise collection in May of 2016, Louis Vuitton headed to Palm Springs, California, a hub of modernist American architecture from the 1950s to the 1970s.

THE ROAD TO SOLOMEO

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

Carolina Cucinelli and her husband, Alessio Piastrelli, present “Road to Solomeo,” a collection imagined exclusively for Neiman Marcus by Brunello Cucinelli, which captures the spirit of adventure. Taking inspiration from Cucinelli and Piastrelli’s shared passion for motorcycling as a vehicle (literally and figuratively) to connect and explore nature’s beauty, the collection features pieces that embody the moments of a day spent on a motorcycle ride.

For the women’s collection, leather takes center stage in pieces like Nappa cropped jackets, suede blazers, and trousers that merge classic motorcycling heritage with modern utility details and cashmere knits in a warm color palette of earthy browns and night sky blues. Navy tones drive the men’s curation with styles like nubuck biker jackets with shearling collars, winter boots, and suede loafers, complemented by neutral and brown accents for a refined, sophisticated look.
