n 2017, Luis Alfonso Rodríguez López-Cepero—aka Latin superstar Luis Fonsi—took the world by storm with the release of his hit song, “Despacito.”

While this was by no means Fonsi’s first hit single, it marked one of the most significant Latin crossovers to mainstream music of all time. Not only did it become the song of the year—particularly gaining attention when he, Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee collaborated to create the “Despacito” remix, but it also won four Latin GRAMMY Awards, seven Billboard Latin Music Awards, five Billboard Music Awards and three GRAMMY Award nominations. Moreover, he broke seven Guinness World Records, selling more than 11 million records as of 2018, and in 2019, “Despacito” became the most-watched YouTube video of all time, streaming over 6.5 billion views.

Fonsi is eternally grateful for the success that “Despacito” brought him and the effect it had on Latin music’s recognition and popularity all over the world, but he explains that it more or less did not change him.

“There is a side to me that didn’t change at all because I found this song. I came across it. I created it 18 years into my career, so it wasn’t my first hit,” he explains. “It wasn’t like ‘Hey, I’m going to start singing, and I’m going to record an album and, boom, I run into this massive hit. I had already been through a lot of ups and downs, success and failures.

“So now, I can appreciate the fact that I have this beautiful blessing and can enjoy it,” he continues. “But it hasn’t changed me—I’m still the same dorky guy who puts in the work and wakes up every morning trying to write songs to this day. I have performed in stadiums and theatres, and I treat every song with the same respect, before or after ‘Despacito.’”

That being said, the result that occurred after the release of this massive hit is truly significant for Fonsi and fellow Latin musicians around the world.

“What did change is that there were new fans from all different parts of the world, who wanted to hear Latin music and get to know who I am.

So I am sort of a new artist for some people, and for others, they’ve known me for a while,” he shares. “It’s refreshing and doesn’t frustrate me at all. It’s actually kind of cool. It’s like going back to school, but you already went through it, so you can enjoy all the little things you did, like the first interviews.”

As we’re speaking to Fonsi at our cover shoot at PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter in the heart of Downtown, he looks fresh-faced, relaxed and happy. He’s professional, grateful and easy-going to everyone he encounters. You’d never know that he was making a quick stop in between his massive world tour, Vida (named after his GRAMMYnominated album for Best Latin Pop Album), which had taken place throughout Europe all summer. We were lucky enough to catch him right before he left to continue the tour throughout North America.

“We started touring about two and a half months ago,” he shares.

“Most of the shows were in Europe, and it’s been so fun to be able to break that language and cultural barrier that has previously existed. It felt as though we were a bit separated before, whereas now, Latin music has really crossed over to the whole world. I am so proud to be part of this beautiful movement.

“Performing [in Miami] and being here is so special to me, like you’re bringing the world together, and we are all learning from each other and celebrating each other...It’s about coming together, and this is the mecca of it all.”

COLOR BLOCK COAT: Carlos Campos SHIRT: Emporio Armani WATCH: Hublot (Fonsi’s own)

“The [songwriting] process is fun because you don’t really know what you’re looking for, and you’re hoping you’ll trip or run against something to help figure it out along the way.”

“The tour is named after my album, Vida, which means life,” he adds.

“And it’s probably the album that took me the longest to finish. Every time I start writing for an album, it’s like a new search where you go out and have to find your direction. The process is fun because you don’t really know what you’re looking for, and you’re hoping you’ll trip or run against something to help figure it out along the way.”

Although his career has certainly enveloped him in a whirlwind of success, causing him to travel throughout the world, meeting new fans and faces every day, he will never forget where he came from—and that is his beloved home country, Puerto Rico.

“I go back home to Puerto Rico very often, which is where the dream began,” he shares. “Now, I go back with a different perspective and with even more love and appreciation, and I’m more thankful than ever that because of this place, I was able to grow and become an international star. I see things through a different lens now.”

And of course, it is imperative to him to give back to the land he owes so much to. Following the devastation of the island from the destruction of Hurricane Maria, the Luis Fonsi Foundation was born.

“Twenty years later since I moved away from Puerto Rico, I wanted to give back to the community as much as I can, which is why I started my [501(c)(3) nonprofit] foundation, the Luis Fonsi Foundation,” he explains.

“I was in the middle of my U.S. tour when Hurricane Maria hit, and I felt so helpless not being able to physically be there and help out my country.

Through the foundation, we have helped build houses, schools and hospitals, doing all kinds of work to better the community, and I’m very proud of the work we’ve done.”

In addition to his own foundation, Fonsi also has served as a spokesperson for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for 15 years.

“A long time ago, when I first started singing, I started doing these galas and fundraising events,” he says. “It wasn’t until I went to Memphis [Tenn.], which is where the hospital is, that I was really moved by the work they did, how they took care of the patients and the progress they were making on the research side. To me, it was super important to be a voice for them and get the Latino community involved to raise money. And I hope one day, we won’t even have to talk about cancer.”

It’s clear that Fonsi has a deep philanthropic side, but what truly drew him to the foundation was the kids.

“I’ve always had this sort of connection to kids, and this was way before I was a father. Just seeing what they go through and what their parents go through really spoke to me. I felt that we all had to go out there and be better for them. There’s so much technology at our hands.

Let’s keep working to find a cure. I’m such an optimist about this,” he maintains. “I really do think we’re getting close and one day we can look back and say, ‘Oh remember... ’ Just through one dollar, two dollars—we can all do a little to make a big impact.”

If there’s one thing that’s clear from talking with Fonsi, it’s that he is a go-getter. He works hard and he does so much for others, constantly staying on the move and remaining regimented and dedicated. But everyone has their guilty pleasures, and we were

curious to know what his are.

“You know, I’m a guy,” he laughs with a big grin on his face. “I’m a watch guy. I’m a sneaker guy. I love my [Air] Jordans—I think it says a lot about a person when you say, ‘Hey, that’s a special edition.’ It dictates that it’s tougher to get, and there’s thought put behind it. I’m always checking out new drops,” he adds. “I love cars; I love boats. I think music and fashion go hand in hand. If it looks good, feels good, wear it.”

He also boasts an admirable watch collection, which is a passion that was passed down to him by his father.

“I love watches. I think a watch says so much about a person,” he shares. “For me, it’s like you can have the fanciest shoes on, but the thing about watches is that you can just wear raggedy jeans and a white T-shirt and have a sexy watch on, and it just brings it all together. I get it from my dad, who was always a big watch lover.

“Hublot has always spoken to me as a brand—it’s that perfect combination of elegance and sexiness and rock star. The first big investment I ever made, when I got money when I was first starting out, is the watch I walked in wearing today to the photo shoot,” he laughs.

“The Big Bang, which is one of their signature timepieces,” he adds about his watch. “This was 15 years ago, and I’ve gotten more watches since, but I still wear this watch and look down at it, and it gives me a special feeling because I know I worked extra hard for it.”

However, Fonsi asserts that the ultimate luxury is, to him, without question, family.

“There’s a million things I can think of when you say ultimate luxury, but it’s pretty clear that it’s family. Those two little faces make all kinds of sense. Family is what keeps me going in life,” he maintains.

Fonsi is referring to his two children—his daughter, Mikaela, 8, and son, Rocco, 3—whom he had with his wife, Águeda López. They currently reside in Miami with many of his other family members, but often travel with him when schedules allow for it.

On the subjects of fatherhood and marriage, Fonsi warms up even more than usual.

“Fatherhood and being a husband just gives you a sort of purpose,” he shares. “Before that—especially before being a father—when I was single and didn’t have any kids, it was all about me—how I’m going to perform, have a career, what I’m going to invest in, where I will find success, and so forth. And then all of a sudden, you see this little, beautiful girl that’s born and she looks up at you, and you know now that you have a purpose, you have reason for this life and someone is relying on you.

“When it comes to being a father, I have my eye on the prize all the time because it’s all about them now,” he continues. “If I’m tired or sick, I know that I still have to go out there and put on a show. Forget about me—I have to go out there and kill it for them. I always feel that I have something constantly pushing me from the back. It’s not a physical push, but emotional. It’s really nice. It works out because I want to be better for them, and have them be proud of me when they’re older. The picture becomes a lot more clear when you’re blessed enough to have a family.” @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 19

“all of a sudden, you see this little, beautiful girl that’s born and she looks up at you, and you know now that you have a purpose, you have reason for this life and someone is relying on you..”

Even though Fonsi’s schedule demands a hectic travel schedule from him, he makes sure that family is always his No. 1 priority, bringing them along with him when he can, or making sure to stop at home when he has a small break. But he wants them to enjoy life and make sure it’s as beautiful and normal as possible for them.

“Since they’re babies, it’s hard to bring them all the time because being out on the road is crazy,” he notes. “I want them to have a super-normal, stable upbringing. But obviously when I’m gone for a while, we always find a way to make it work. This summer, I was touring in Europe, and my wife is from Spain, so she and the kids all came out and stayed at our house there, which made things much easier for all of us.

“Being away from them is the toughest part,” he notes. “If it’s too long, I start to get antsy, and I have to have that connection. It’s like when your phone is running out of battery and you have to charge it real quick, and then you’re back to normal,” he laughs.

From the outside, it may seem as though Fonsi has it all figured out, with a successful career and beautiful family. But he maintains that he, like everyone else, is still figuring it all out along the way.

“You can’t read a book and learn how to do [fatherhood and marriage] perfectly,” he maintains. “You just have to figure it out. I’m figuring it out and enjoying it, and hopefully doing an okay job.”

From our perspective, he’s doing all of that, plus more. And in the meantime, he’s enjoying his current home city, Miami. Even though Puerto Rico will always have his heart, Miami is a very close second.

“I have lived in Miami for 20 years,” he says. “My kids were born here. I know the city with my eyes closed. There are so many things I love about it. I love the water—I’m a big boat guy and saltwater lover—that’s my happy place. Still to this day, when I’m approaching Miami International Airport, I look out the window and see that water, it gives me a special feeling. Now, my family lives here—my brother and sister and my parents. This is home to me now, and I don’t see myself leaving anytime soon.

“And obviously, the Latin culture here is so beautiful,” Fonsi adds. “I am Latino, 100 percent, but I’ve been in the U.S. for most of my life. And I need that sort of Latin flare. The mixture of cultures is unbelievable. When I’m onstage doing a show in Miami, it’s like you’re performing for the world— you see flags from everywhere.”

It is the Magic City, after all. And there are few people more fitting to represent our city with pride than the magical Luis Fonsi.

“Performing here and being here is so special to me, like you’re bringing the Top:are With Sylvesterfrom Stallone the and Kiev,celebrating Ukraine, premiere world together,From and we all learning each at other each of The Expendables;with Amber Heard in Aquaman;and with Florian other,” he declares. “It’s about coming together, and this is the mecca of it all.”

HOW KINGA LAMPERT AND THE BCRF ARE ON A MISSION TO CURE BREAST CANCER.

BY PAIGE MASTRANDREA PHOTOGRAPHY ROMAIN MAURICE

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL, SUNNY DAY IN MIAMI, AND WE’RE SITTING DOWN with Haute 100-lister Kinga Lampert.

Looking beautiful as ever, exuding poise and elegance, she graciously greets us as we’re preparing for our shoot. She’s coming off of a quick but impactful trip to New York, where she and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) hosted the annual Symposium and Awards Luncheon, this year honoring fashion legend Vera Wang with the Sandra Taub Humanitarian Award.

Lampert served as the Co-Chair of the philanthropic event, which raised an astounding $2.6 million to directly benefit BCRF. While the event was a huge success for the Foundation, it is just one of the many endeavors that Lampert and the BCRF hold throughout the year as they work tirelessly for their cause. Kinga is a woman on a mission, and that mission is to eradicate breast cancer by funding the world’s most promising research.

As we chat, she’s very realistic in the challenge that lies ahead of her and the dedicated team members working for the cause, but she is also optimistic.

“Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the world, right after lung cancer,” she begins.

“One in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Every two minutes, a woman in the U.S. hears the words, ‘You have breast cancer.’ I feel that in one way or the other, everybody is touched by this disease, either personally or through someone they know. It also should be noted that men can be diagnosed with breast cancer, too. In fact, at BCRF, we’ve added a blue dot to our pink ribbon to symbolize the men fighting the disease, as well.”

The cause is near and dear to her heart, as she was personally diagnosed with breast cancer 12 years ago and is currently in remission. Since then, she’s been a leading member of BCRF, and over the past seven years, has served as the Co-Chairman of the Board.

“I joined BCRF about 12 years ago, and I was deeply involved in the cause when [BCRF Founder] Evelyn Lauder passed away, unfortunately, in 2011. I was honored when her husband, Leonard, asked me to help lead the organization into the future and step up as Co-Chairman of the Board,” she shares.

22 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

“BCRF is the largest private funder of breast cancer research worldwide,” Lampert notes. “We’re the highest-rated breast cancer organization in the country. This year alone, we are investing over $66 million to support the work of 275 scientists across 14 countries. It is a wonderful organization.”

And that money generated is going straight to the cause and making a direct impact. Over the years, BCRF has made enormous strides, which Kinga is elated to share.

“While I did mention the statistics of breast cancer, I love to talk about our progress because we’ve had such promising growth over the years, with encouraging figures to show. Our greatest statistic is that early-stage breast cancer is 95-percent curable today. That means that when caught early, the survival rates for breast cancer are the highest that they have ever been, which is really amazing,” she shares. “The overall deaths have dropped by 40 percent in the last 20 years. In the U.S. today, there are 3.5 million survivors who are thriving. It’s amazing to see these numbers because you know that our research is making a difference, and this is how we continue to bring in generous donations because people trust what we are doing.”

Kinga wants to emphasize that while eradicating breast cancer is certainly a massive mission, there is plenty of hope for the future.

“We’ve celebrated so many breakthroughs over the past 25 years,” she enthuses. “The BRCA 1 and 2 genes were discovered by one of our researchers and scientists, named Dr. Marie-Claire King. There’s also a drug called Herceptin, which is widely administered today, which came out of research we supported. And there’s another tool called the Oncotype DX, which is an incredible tool that looks at a tumor and is able to tell a woman whether she would actually benefit from chemotherapy or not, which is huge because prior to this being developed, pretty much everyone was given chemotherapy, and the patient didn’t have the power to decide. Now, it’s a choice.”

Although October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, BCRF works tirelessly throughout the year fundraising for the cause. Kinga shares that what makes BCRF unique is that when Evelyn Lauder started the Foundation, she felt strongly that BCRF should not have an endowment— meaning that all the money raised every year would be

immediately put to work and translated into grants. This keeps the Foundation on its toes, since every year, the cash balance goes back to zero, and the fundraising must begin again. But it also means that every dollar raised is immediately translated into research and science.

In addition to BCRF, Kinga and her husband, Eddie Lampert, also founded the Kinga and Edward Lampert Laboratory for Breast Cancer Research, located at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami.

The couple felt so strongly about the city of Miami and its potential for medical innovation that they decided to provide funding for the laboratory. Kinga also sits on the Board of Trustees for Sylvester.

“After being in Miami for seven years now, my husband and I both felt that in a city this vibrant that attracts so many people from all over the world, we should have topnotch research facilities, as well,” she shares. “I think great things are happening in the medical field in South Florida.

Sylvester just got the NCI designation, which is a very big deal. It’s the only cancer hospital in South Florida to have that designation, which will definitely attract a lot of talented doctors and brilliant researchers in Miami, so we are very much looking forward to that.”

It’s safe to say that Kinga Lampert and the BCRF are leading the cause full-speed ahead, working day in and day out to accomplish their goal. And the light at the end of the tunnel is not so far off, according to Kinga. What she really feels is the greatest challenge that lies ahead is funding.

“I truly think the one thing that stands between today and finding a cure is funding because we need consistent funds that can go to support our dedicated researchers,” she maintains. “And these discoveries are not something that happen in six months or a year. This is continuous work that leads to milestones. We’re spreading awareness, trying to have more and more people connect to the cause and our mission because that’s what’s going to fuel the next breakthrough.

“I believe that a cure for breast cancer doesn’t have to be a vaccine or a pill, but if we manage to understand metastatic disease, which is really what a lot of our research dollars are going to, and if breast cancer can become a chronic disease that women can live with and don’t die from, that’s a form of a cure, as well,” she adds. “And I think we’re getting very, very close to that.”

GRAY MATTER In his Summer 2020 collection for Dior Men, Kim Jones has taken a seemingly mundane palette of grays and brought it to life, utilizing 50 shades and beyond. The combination of highly refined tailored silhouettes with oversized pieces and more modern notes, such as the iconic newspaper print—which made its debut in the House’s 2000 Spring/Summer Haute Couture show by John Galliano—reimagined in collaboration with contemporary artist Daniel Arsham, represents Jones’ unique ability to harmoniously marry the House’s heritage with its forward-looking vision. New interpretations of the Saddle Bag make appearances in the monochrome-friendly collection, as do the Dior x RIMOWA capsule collection pieces, featuring RIMOWA’s signature aluminum finishes, specially adorned with Dior emblems, like the recognizable Oblique print. Minimal in aesthetic, the pieces—whether worn separately or as full looks— channel a sense of strength and regality on its wearers, especially with Jones’ addition of his draped sashes from previous collections.

BOND[ING] EXPERIENCE

A one-on-one interview with Founder and CEO of luxury perfume company Bond No. 9 NY Laurice Rahmé, on how she started her company, how to choose your ideal scent and how one of the most devastating days in American history—9/11—inspired her to create Bond No. 9 NY.

BY DEYVANSHI MASRANI

THOUGH OFTEN OVERLOOKED, OUR SENSE OF SMELL IS ONE

How and why did you come up with the Bond No. 9 NY brand?

On September 11th, 2001, New Yorkers along with the rest of the country were tested in a way no one could have imagined. In the aftermath, communities came together, and the unbreakable strength of a city was enforced. Fueled by a deep love for my home city, I wanted to celebrate NYC’s courage and creativity by being courageous and creative. Out of this desire to breathe new life back into the wounded city came the idea for Bond No. 9. We launched with a collection of women’s, men’s and unisex eaux de parfum in 2003. It was a big risk, but we followed our intuition and our desire to be different. We began creating fragrances to celebrate NYC’s neighborhoods and showcase the city’s unbreakable spirit. The mission was to restore artistry to perfumery and give a scent to each neighborhood.

There are so many luxury perfume brands on the market—what makes Bond No. 9 so special?

While each Bond No. 9 fragrance is unique, all share something in common with the city in which they were created: they have an edge.

From the most audacious to the wittiest and most whimsical, they all convey a courage, a gutsiness, that captures the uncompromising spirit of this grand-scale, fast-paced, hard-working kaleidoscopic city. Going 50 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty

against the grain of most inauthentic/commercial fragrances is our idea to restore the grand art of authentic/artistic perfume blending. Bond No. 9 uses only high, 18-22 percent concentrations of pure eaux de parfums—the longlasting concentrations of the legendary vintage scents of the 1920s and 1930s. What’s more, each fragrance has been blended in New York, by hand-picked perfumers—some of the greatest names in the fragrance universe—who, like myself, have gravitated here to what has become the world capital of beauty and fragrance.

What is the story behind the perfumes’ distinctive signature bottle shape and packaging?

Bond No. 9’s iconic silhouette bottle is inspired by the feminine form.

Each bottle is a work of art, a collector’s piece, setting Bond No. 9 apart from other perfume companies. Over the years, it [has become] very hard to find vintage perfume bottles. Bond No. 9 bottles are the alternative to vintage—men and women are collectors. Our packaging and our fragrances celebrate the uniqueness that is found in each neighborhood and the unique decorations on opaque paint, make them lasting collectibles. We like to say that we have collectors, not consumers!

How did New York inspire you so much to name all of your perfumes after NY-centric destinations/areas/streets?

New York has incredible energy, like no other city. It’s always changing, always fresh and new, and all of us who live here feel that constant renewing, fast-paced forward-motion that sparks creativity. It’s those feelings that inform everything we do and why I chose NYC to be the focus of Bond’s geo-centric scents. Bond No. 9 is the first New York parfumerie to introduce civic scents inspired by NY-centric destinations and sensibilities. Bond’s best-selling Scent of Peace—For Her and For Him—celebrates world peace. And Liberty Island honors freedom. Bond No. 9 is a proud sponsor of the United Nations Women for Peace Association and supports its mission via proceeds from the global sales of the brand’s best-selling philanthropic fragrance, the Scent of Peace.

What are the most important factors to keep in mind when selecting a perfume? Is there a correct way and time to apply/spray perfume?

Fragrance is your signature and it is authentic to you. It should project confidence, like a beautiful outfit, and it is seductive, [enriching] one’s life. When selecting a perfume, look for fragrances that speak to you in a very personal way. At Bond No. 9, we don’t dictate, the nose knows!

of the most evocative senses we possess; in fact, scientific research has proven that there is a direct link between our memories and scent. That’s why, the mere hint of a slightly familiar fragrance can take you back to a stream of consciousness that had far passed or even to memories that were thought of as forgotten. This lesser-known fact did not go unnoticed by Founder and President of Bond No. 9 New York, Laurice Rahmé. Having started her company in 2003, Rahmé has since built her brand, developing it into one of the most luxurious parfumeries, with boutiques in some of the most high-end shopping destinations in the country—such as the Miami Design District and of course, on New York City’s Bond Street—and in the world. She even collaborates with two of the most celebrated and globally-recognized department stores, Harrods in the U.K. and Saks Fifth Avenue in the U.S., with exclusive fragrances and bottles. So, what makes Bond No. 9 New York—which happens to be my favorite perfume company—so special, and worth those jaw-dropping price points, upwards of $1,000 for a single bottle? (And if that seems like a lot, you should have a look at the brand’s holiday gift offering, where the Swarovski Triple Decker collectibles are listed at a whopping $16,000 each). Here, I sit with Rahmé to discuss just that, as well as the brand’s inception and next steps.

IS YOUR

BRAIN PERFORMING AT ITS PEAK POTENTIAL?

Haute MD sits down with Lisbeth Roy, D.O., founder of Doctors Studio, to discuss her targeted treatment that helps patients achieve optimal brain function.

BY MARISSA GONZALEZ

LISBETH ROY, D.O., IS THE FOUNDER OF DOCTORS STUDIO, A UNIQUE

PHOTOS COURTESY OF NICHOLAS PIÑEIRO

medical practice located in Boca Raton, Fla., offering the most advanced nonsurgical techniques for optimal wellness, performance, pelvic health, prostate health and sexual wellness. She is a respected authority on male and female sexual health as she practices a true functional approach to diagnosis and treatment of the root causes, thus solving the problems and reversing symptoms using sound approaches and exciting regenerative medicine tools.

Her approach to medicine takes root in the reasons she became a doctor—she’s always willing to tackle problems and seek answers at the very heart of the matter. She is trained in functional, anti-aging and regenerative medicine with a special passion for helping men and women recover pelvic health, sexual function, sexual satisfaction and optimal wellness.

Haute MD goes in-depth with Dr. Roy on her targeted treatment, Clarity Direct, which allows her to “retrain” the brain to stop functioning in imbalanced patterns.

What do you consider optimal brain function?

The brainwave patterns are synchronized and move in fluid patterns. These brainwaves display optimal, continuous brain function. Organized waves equal organized thought, better concentration, improved mood and memory.

What are the dysfunctional patterns that the brain creates?

Dysfunctional brainwave patterns can result from stress, trauma, toxicity and inflammation; the brainwaves become rigid and stuck.

Dysfunctional brainwave patterns are linked to symptoms of anxiety, panic, Attention Deficit Disorder and much more.

What are the functional patterns that the brain should have?

There are various functional patterns of the brain. But there are four major categories of brainwaves:

· Beta Waves: characteristic of a highly engaged mind · Alpha Waves: a resting or meditative state · Theta Waves: a daydream and creative state · Delta Waves: a dreamless sleep What is Direct Neurofeedback and how does it work to restore optimal brain function?

Direct Neurofeedback restores optimal brain function by sending a tiny imperceptible electromagnetic current to the brain. The current causes a slight fluctuation in brainwaves. This fluctuation allows the brain to reorganize itself and get out of stuck, imbalanced patterns.

This concept is similar to rebooting a frozen computer.

Explain the research behind this method and what sparked your interest in using it to help patients obtain optimal wellness.

There are many research resources supporting that Direct Neurofeedback is a more efficient treatment when compared to traditional neurofeedback. This profound treatment protocol is noted to improve various neurological, behavioral and psychological disorders.

Over the treatment period, a retraining of the brain occurs. There is no interaction from the client needed. The software does all the work.

Are multiple treatments involved?

Yes, multiple treatments are involved. However, within one to three sessions, a patient should start noticing significant benefits with improved sleep, greater sense of calm, better concentration, less anxiety and less depression. There is often a feeling of greater sense of well-being that occurs early on in the process.

To restore optimal brain function, is Clarity Direct used in conjunction with other treatments?

Clarity Direct is one of our top recommended treatments in Doctors Studio. Given that we try to address the unique health status of each member, in most cases Clarity Direct is part of a more comprehensive treatment program. We offer IV nutrient therapy, hormone optimization, nutritional programs, peptide therapy and other technologies to help our members live to their fullest potential at peak performance and optimal wellness. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 51

LEADERS AT THE FOREFRONT OF SPINAL CARE

BY MARISSA GONZALES

What are your thoughts on preventing pain?

The No. 1 thing people take for granted is not having pain. Doing things when you don’t have pain can go a long way from keeping you from developing pain. Two easy things you can do are staying away from certain foods and exercising regularly. It is well known that smoking, alcohol, red/smoked meats, bleached flour and processed sugars all cause inflammation, so keep all of these things in moderation. Secondly, keep exercising and keep moving, try not to stay sedentary at your desk all day. I think prevention is very important to remain cognizant of. If you’re not having pain, let’s keep it that way.

What are the latest treatments for back pain?

The latest treatments are geared toward minimally invasive techniques and follow a “less is more” approach. We’ve realized that with bigger surgeries, patients have bigger problems in the long term. They may feel fine a few years after the surgery, but with the big surgeries we’re actually creating more harm down the road. New treatments like Intracept have given us the option to do minimally invasive procedures that aren’t fullblown surgeries. Patients don’t have to stay in the hospital overnight, and their recovery time is very minimal, if any. They are giving patients relief from pain without the long-term consequences of big procedures.

What are the things you recommend to alleviate pain that are not procedural?

Patients, I don’t think, realize that most aches and pains can be taken care of with simple, conservative measures, like good physical therapy, daily stretching, maintaining your diet and weight. Those things can take care of a lot of neck and back pains, especially in the younger populations.

If patients really do the exercise programs we recommend and stick to them, their pain stays away without any procedures. At Cantor Spine 52 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty

Center, that’s what we really strive for, “less is more.” It would be great if we could do no procedures and you could just get yourself better through diet, an anti-inflammatory diet to be exact, and exercise, that’s even better.

What I try to drive home with my patients is that we don’t have to do anything to make you better, you have the capability to do it yourself.

I think everyone comes to us looking for a magic solution, and in the world of the spine especially, there is no magic solution, there’s no spine replacement; you’re born with the spine you have, and that’s what you’ve got. When we start manipulating the spine, it can cause problems down the road, so we’d rather do nothing and have you get better naturally. A lot of people come to us and say, “OK, so what are you going to do to make me better?” And I say, “You can make yourself better!” But unfortunately, a lot of people don’t have time or don’t want to put in the work, which is sad to see, but the people that really put in the effort see amazing results and are very well off. We’re ultra-specialized in what we do, but if we don’t have to do anything, then that’s better. The body heals itself pretty well if you do the right things, so the push now for regenerative medicine [PRP and stem cells] is better than all the medications. I think we’ll see a rise in those treatments in the coming years because they are your own body’s cells just put into the injured area.

Do you provide meal and exercise plans for your patients?

Yes, we have a special diet we put people on. Mainly because they do really well after surgeries on it, and they do really well because their body is in a prime position to heal itself. I put my patients all on the same diet even if they’re not getting surgery because it’s good if they really want to lose weight and if they really want to heal, even if they’re just healing from pain, not surgery. It’s basically an anti-inflammation diet, high in protein, high leafy greens and low in processed foods. Protein is really good for healing. Also, you have to watch your caloric intake if you want to lose weight. It’s much more complicated than just intake versus what you expend, so there are different ways to achieve realistic goals for people, and I process that with them. We have to give our patients exactly what they need to eat every meal because they don’t prefer guidelines of what they should eat, so it’s a lot of eggs, this green drink called Vibrance for breakfast, a lot of fish, small portions and good choices on your vegetables, not potatoes every day. Research has shown us that our patients do better after surgery and feel better generally due to this diet, so if it helps someone heal from surgery, why not prescribe it to all patients to help them feel better when healing from injuries? Diet is huge in preventing pain and inflammation is directly correlated to what we eat. You definitely have to be realistic with diet and exercise goals for yourself, though I know it can be difficult. Even as a specialist in the field, I struggle to follow what I’m meant to eat and do at the gym. Never beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon, just get back on and listen to your body. A final note is that if you need something done, go minimally invasive—there’s no reason to scar your body. It doesn’t need to be a huge procedure.

ANTHONY GIUFFRIDA, M.D., A BOARD-CERTIFIED AND FELLOWSHIP

trained physician, is the Director of Interventional Spine and Sports at the Cantor Spine Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Dr. Giuffrida is at the forefront of significant advancements in the management of pain for patients, including lower back, mid-back and neck, as well as issues affecting nerves, joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons.

He was the first physician in South Florida to perform the Intracept Procedure, a breakthrough treatment for patients suffering with chronic low back pain. With a puncture less than the size of a dime, Dr. Giuffrida is able to stop the transmission of pain signals that cause chronic lower back pain (CLBP) using radiofrequency energy. The Intracept Procedure is performed in an outpatient setting and does not change the structure of the spine nor does it involve an implant.

Haute MD spoke with Dr. Giuffrida about his holistic and conservative approach to preventing pain and the most up-to-date technology in spinal care that is exclusively available at Cantor Spine Center.

Clean

MR.

Following the release of his new book, McClean Design — Creating the Contemporary House published by Rizzoli, I sit down with architect Paul McClean to discuss his design style, why he became the celebrity choice for contemporary residential design and some of the most over-the-top amenities he has built into his homes.

PHOTO COURTESY OF NICK SPRINGETT

Deyvanshi Masrani: Tell me about your signature design aesthetic, in your own words.

Paul McClean: Our designs are all about connecting the user to nature and the surrounding environment. We use materials in a way that minimizes the barriers between indoors and outdoors, making the transition as seamless as possible. Our design aesthetic is all about playing with light, maximizing its potential and creating structures that are both light in appearance and light filled.

DM: What are some new architecture trends that you’re seeing now and why do you think that is?

PM: There is definitely a movement towards warmer materials and more use of green elements in residential design which we welcome. People are also interested in entertaining on a bigger scale at home and having the capacity to do that. There is a move towards using more natural materials rather than sleeker, shin[ier] finishes. We try to make all our homes unique so we rely to a great degree on our clients to bring a material palette that suits them to the project. We concentrate on making the spaces work no matter how they are finished. It’s been satisfying to see some of our earlier projects recently reimagined and [to see] that the buildings themselves stand up well to the test of time.

DM: You’ve established yourself so brilliantly within the Los Angeles market. What led to the decision to expand further into different parts of the U.S. and even in different countries and how did you choose these new regions?

PM: They choose us. We are always excited to work beyond our home base, the different environments and locations help us to grow and make us question how we design. I’m in Canada right now where we have a couple of projects; we have to think about different climates up here and both our projects are in wonderful, natural locations, which are a joy to respond to. We have been fortunate to be well published the last few years and that garners attention around the world, which has led to projects in different places. I think there is a general appreciation out there for the type of Californian living that we promote in our designs and people are interested to see how it might apply to their own locations.

DM: How did you get your start into architecture? Please explain your journey that led you to where you are today.

PM: That’s a long story, I always wanted to be an architect growing up in Dublin. I found inspiration looking at homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as a young boy. While at college in Ireland, I discovered the works of Neutra and Schindler here in L.A. and began to explore in more depth the wonderful history of experimental design that has developed in California over the last hundred years or so and that is what attracted me to the area.

After working for a few different firms, we established McClean Design in 2000 with our first project: a canyon house in Laguna Beach. A wonderful couple took a chance on us and we had a start with that house, soon there were others and here we are today.

DM: What are some of the most impressive/over-the-top custom features that you have built into certain homes and can you explain some of them?

PM: We have had a lot of fun thinking of ideas that have never been done before in a residential setting. Sometimes, one idea leads to the next. For example, we first did a firepit floating in a pool at our Robin House and now we have something similar but a little different in many of our homes. At the large house we are working on known as “The One,” there are several pods in a water feature next to a major entertainment area, which has a direct relationship to that original idea at the Robin House. That house also incorporates an immersive aquarium feature with acrylic walls on three sides and the roof of a space. We have recently completed a house with a floating acrylic pool section that casts light in unique and wonderful ways, the water acting as a prism.

DM: Describe your personal dream home and its features.

PM: For me, some of the most important things are spaces that connect to their surroundings—views of nature, seamless walls of glass that disappear, water features that reflect the sky and bounce light into the spaces. Rooms that are uplifting and expansive that offer only a rudimentary feeling of shelter and then some contrasting spaces that are more intimate, where you can be a little bit cozier. The gadgets, bells and whistles are much less important. @hauteresidence HAUTE LIVING 79

Catching the

One-on-one with Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades’ first American designer, San Francisco-based Andrew Kudless, following the debut of his latest piece for the House’s upcoming Design Miami/ exhibition, Swell Wave.

EACH YEAR, DESIGN MIAMI/ BRINGS TOGETHER SOME OF THE

most well-known names in the design world, showcasing their works to the keenest of design enthusiasts, who make their way from across the globe down to the Magic City. Louis Vuitton’s Objets Nomades exhibit is one of the most highly anticipated of the fair and this year, the House debuted the work of its first American designer, San Franciscobased Andrew Kudless. His piece, entitled Swell Wave, is made from smoothly polished oak and Louis Vuitton leathers, making for the perfect statement-making addition to an interior space. Available in two versions—free-standing and wall-mounted—both represent the art of exploration and embrace the idea of movement; two facets that are deeply-rooted in Louis Vuitton’s travel DNA. Here, Haute Living presents an interview with Kudless, following Swell Wave’s debut at Design Miami/.

What attracted you to the idea of designing an Objet Nomade for Louis Vuitton?

The opportunity to work with a brand that represents the highest level of craft and quality was exciting and inspiring. As a designer and maker, I appreciate working with artisans who have extensive knowledge of their materials and tools.

What were the inspirations for your Objet?

When considering my approach to the Objets Nomades collection for Louis Vuitton, I wanted to explore the concept of travel in a way that reflects my own passion for traveling. I travel in order to experience new things: sights, smells, tastes, etc. This experience, of leaving the familiarity of home, is unsettling and invigorating as it opens us to the unknown. There is an inherent tension to travel that I wanted to capture in the Objet. As you travel you are pulled between the appeal of the new and the comfort of home, between the rush of movement and the endless waiting, between the desire to go and the inertia of staying. I wanted the Objet to resonate with these forces and represent a balance between all things.

80 HAUTE LIVING hauteresidence.com

Why did you choose the specific materials that are used in your Objet Nomade?

There is an inherent beauty and individuality to natural materials such as wood and leather. The variations in grain, color, and texture reflect our differences and uniqueness in the world. In addition, I needed to chose two materials that best represent and communicate the forces flowing through the piece. The leather straps are strong yet pliant while the wooden shelves are simultaneously stable yet appear in motion.

What have you called your Objet and why?

In an essay by John Muir, a noted 19th century naturalist important to the history of California, he describes a journey along the Yuba River in the Sierra Mountains where he climbed up to the top of a Douglas Spruce tree during a storm. He writes of the joy he felt in being tossed around while the wind blew the tree back and forth: “The slender tops fairly flapped and swished in the passionate torrent, bending and swirling backward and forward, round and round, tracing indescribable combinations of vertical and horizontal curves, while I clung with muscles firm braced, like a bobo-link on a reed....We all travel the milky way together, trees and men; but it never occurred to me until this stormday, while swinging in the wind, that trees are travelers, in the ordinary sense. They make many journeys, not extensive ones, it is true; but our own little journeys, away and back again, are only little more than tree-wavings-many of them not so much.”

I read this essay long before I ever moved to California but it was one of the things that drew me here. Muir’s joyous perspective on the sublime beauty of nature best aligns with my own choices on where and why I chose to travel.

Could you describe it in a sentence?

Pulled in opposite directions yet completely in equilibrium, the shelf represents a balance of forces: between movement and stability, between new and old, and between hard and soft.

What does Louis Vuitton mean to you? What was your impression of the House before you began working with it?

Louis Vuitton is the pinnacle of a maker’s success story. From a humble origin to learning a trade to introducing innovative products to the market, the start of the company represents how good products and ideas enter [the] world. The fact that the company was able to not only sustain this level of innovation and commitment to craftsmanship over 160 years but to consistently build on it and expand the business beyond the iconic luggage to architecture, fashion, and furnishings has been inspiring as someone who works between the worlds of art, design, and architecture. When you see a Louis Vuitton product, you know it is well made and well designed. That integration of both form and function is at the heart of my practice as well.

DESIGN

How did you use the Louis Vuitton workshop’s savoir-faire?

I often tell my students that they will learn more from fabricators and materials than they will learn from me. As much as I can teach them, so much more is gained by talking with expert craftsmen and trying to make things themselves. There is no substitute for knowledge gained through working with your hands.

What is your definition of nomadism? What does travel mean to you?

I travel in order to experience new things that break me away from the familiarity of home. This experience is, by definition, unsettling, but ultimately is the root of a lot of creative inspiration for me. Being able to quickly adapt to new settings and experiences and integrate them into your everyday life is the joy of travel. @hauteresidence HAUTE LIVING 81

all-aluminum +The Superyacht of your dreams Rossinavi and Pininfarina collaborate on Super Sport 65: A sleek new yacht concept that takes inspiration from supercars.

BY NATASHA BAZIKA

Sport 65, a new superyacht concept made in collaboration with leading global design firm Pininfarina during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2019.

Taking inspiration from high-performance sports cars and the integrated, tell-tale fluidity of Pininfarina’s iconic style, Super Sport 65 is a nod to Aurea, the brand’s first collaboration with Rossinavi introduced in 2017. It focused on a project that connects the bow to the stern with a single line, dressing it with incredibly captivating and sporting features.

Super Sport 65’s design is characterized by wide-open spaces and includes six cabins to host at least 12 guests, in addition to the seven cabins reserved for the captain and crew members.

The automotive reference to Pininfarina’s world-famous Gran Turismo is evident in the upper deck, which echoes the design and proportion of such sports cars while still guaranteeing large spaces for outdoor entertainment featuring several lounge areas. These are all bespoke and arranged over various decks, and they also include two Jacuzzis, one at each edge of the boat.

The sinuous design of the main staircase is inspired by the air intakes of top-performing road vehicles and merges organically into the floor-to-ceiling windows.

92 HAUTE LIVING hauteyachts.com

“The only limit in the design of sports boats is the impact on the general floorplan. For this reason, creating a nice balance between interior architecture and exterior design is always challenging. With Super Sport 65, we have overcome this limit.

We enter a new design dimension with the lower deck’s layout to the large areas dedicated to the crew and to the captain’s cockpit and engine room. The elegant and spacious design of the common areas, including the main saloon and a larger owner’s cabin at bow all the way to the salon of the upper deck, are the result of this new design direction, which culminates in the flying bridge with Pininfarina’s signature supercar design,” says Federico Rossi, COO of Rossinavi.

Pininfarina’s deep knowledge of elegance and innovation in both interior and exterior design allows the new Super Sport 65 to offer a highly enjoyable and voluminous environment, combining at the same time a dynamic and sleek style with all the essential comforts for an exclusive navigation experience.

Jet Has Gone Before Pilatus Aircraft debuts the world’s first and only Super Versatile Jet.

BY NATASHA BAZIKA

PHOTOS COURTESY OF PILATUS AIRCRAFT LTD

E V E R Y C R Y S TA L F O U N D I N T H E M O U N TA I N S O F

Switzerland is entirely unique. Just as unique is the Pilatus PC-24, the only aircraft combining the cabin size of a midsize jet with the versatility of a turboprop and operating cost of a light jet.

The Switzerland-based company Pilatus Aircraft is known for its legendary aircrafts such as the PC-6—best-selling single-engine turboprop—and the PC-12—training system of the future. The latest aircraft to roll out of the Pilatus Aircraft hangar is the PC24, which is the world’s first-ever business jet for use on short, unprepared runways. It can land on and take off from shorter runways than similar jets, as well as unpaved surfaces like grass, gravel or dirt. This “Super Versatile Jet” is the next best thing in private aircrafts, so here’s an overview of what you can expect.

The PC-24 is designed to operate from short, paved and even unpaved surfaces, giving pilots access to almost 20,000 additional airports worldwide. That means you can fly closer to your final destination than with any other business jet. You will be able to use smaller airports and avoid massive administrative procedures and reduce ground transfer time to an absolute minimum. That’s why the PC-24 is a Super Versatile Jet: more runways, more space and more possibilities.

The PC-24’s cabin volume tops business jets costing almost twice as much. But while offering space is one thing, making intelligent use of it is quite another. The interior of the PC24 has been designed from the outset for quick and easy reconfiguration—an option not found in many other business jets.

Each passenger seat features quick-change capability, enabling its addition or removal. The aft partition is movable, so you can easily enlarge the passenger cabin or increase the baggage compartment volume for each and every flight. The PC-24 features a fully enclosed, externally serviceable private lavatory that is highly discreet and seamlessly integrated into the forward area of the cabin. Being a Super Versatile Jet, the PC-24 will find popularity in a number of other roles—like cargo, medevac, commuter or governmental special-mission applications, just to name a few.

Long before settling into your seat, you’ll find yourself impressed by the generous space and striking elegance of the PC-24’s cabin. Ergonomics and comfort are both at premium levels. Only the finest-quality materials have been used to create an interior that fits in perfectly with the latest standards of comfort and functionality. Every component is chosen to enhance the passenger experience: soft leathers and rare hardwood cabinetry full of exquisite details create a bespoke interior that reflects the meticulous purpose of the aircraft. The 13 extra-large cabin windows flood the interior of the PC-24 with bright, natural light.

The generously sized cabin, with its continuous flat floor, allows for an exceptional amount of headroom for both passengers and crew. It’s not first-class traveling—it’s Crystal Class.

All Pilatus aircrafts are certified for single-pilot operation, and the PC-24 is no exception to this rule. The cockpit layout is efficient and intuitive. From the comfort of his or her seat, the pilot finds an environment that has been designed specifically to reduce workload and improve safety while providing full situational awareness under all circumstances. Simply put, the PC-24 is the perfect combination of single-pilot operational know-how and state-of-the-art avionics technology.

Pilatus’ ACE™ technology is so capable and offers such a wealth of functionality that in its most basic configuration it boasts the most intuitive and user-friendly cockpit concepts ever seen in business aviation. Four 12-inch screens ensure that all relevant information is displayed in the right place and with no delay.

The PC-24’s unique Quiet Power Mode™ provides quiet, economical energy to power electrical systems—including heating and air conditioning—independent of any source of ground power. These innovations offer more operational flexibility and higher fuel efficiency. Or to put it simply: maximum versatility. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 93

+CHAMPION

OF THE ROAD The new Bentley Spur—available early next year—marries the comfort of a limousine with the performance of a sports sedan.

THE ROARING ’20S WILL START WITH THE ROARING OF THE ALL-NEW

Bentley Flying Spur, a vehicle that fuses the comfort of a limousine with the performance of a sports sedan. This is the third generation of Bentley’s luxury four-door Grand Tourer.

The Flying Spur resembles its antecedent in name only. The new design is original from start to finish and comes with innovative features.

Manufactured at Bentley’s Crewe, England factory, the new Bentley Flying Spur will be seen on the world’s most luxurious and famous streets starting in early 2020.

“The absolute commitment to excellence has been taken to a different level on this car,” says Peter Guest, Bentley’s Product Line Director of the Flying Spur. “Every aspect of its technical solution has pushed our technology and manufacturing ability to the absolute limit. This is, without a doubt, the most advanced Bentley ever built.”

The retractable Bentley “Flying B” mascot leads the car, a first for a modern-day Flying Spur. It is electronically operated and rises from beneath the Bentley badge. It will be driven by the new 21- and 22-inch wheel designs.

96 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com

A lavish interior comes with newly design fluted leather seats, featuring diamond quilting for the Mulliner Driving Specification. Threedimensional diamond-quilted leather doors are a world first. The Bentley Rotating Display on the dashboard and the Touch Screen Remote Control in the rear allow total control of the vehicle’s many features.

Electronic All-Wheel Steering is used for the first time in a Bentley, combined with Active All-Wheel Drive and Bentley Dynamic Ride—the world’s first 48V electric anti-roll system—to deliver phenomenal handling and ride. Driver assistance systems include a Night Vision infrared camera, Traffic Assist, Blind Spot Warning, a Head-Up Display, an integrated Wi-Fi hotspot and more.

At the heart of the Flying Spur is an enhanced version of Bentley’s 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12, mated to an advanced dual-clutch eightspeed transmission for faster, smoother gear changes. The new TSI engine delivers 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 207 mph.

The all-new Flying Spur is available to order. Customer deliveries will begin in early 2020.

+KING OF THE NIGHT The new Rolls-Royce Black Badge Cullinan completes its bespoke family.

BY ANDRES E. CACERES

FOR LUXURY CAR AFICIONADOS AROUND THE WORLD, THE DAY

has come: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars unveiled the Black Badge Cullinan, the latest model and member of the Black Badge permanent Bespoke Family.

The Cullinan is the most in-demand and commissioned Rolls-Royce, with clients waiting for months on end as each is hand-assembled at the sole RollsRoyce manufacturing plant in West Sussex, England.

“Black Badge reflects the desires of a distinct group of Rolls-Royce clients: men and women who take risks, break rules and build success on their own terms,” says Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “Indeed, before we launched Black Badge in 2016, the idea of creating a product that would satisfy this subversive cohort—that is highly dynamic and willfully rebellious in aesthetic—caused a great deal of internal debate. However, once the marque’s designers, engineers and craftspeople began pursuing this dramatic alter ego, it became clear that these motor cars could not only exist comfortably beneath this revered and historic brand, but [that] they would [also] define a new space within the super-luxury market. In this spirit, the time has come for Rolls-Royce’s boldest and darkest expression of Black Badge yet. The King of the Night, Black Badge Cullinan.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF ROLLS-ROYCE

BLACK BADGE CULLINAN EXTERIOR: THE KING OF THE NIGHT The exterior paint of the Black Badge Cullinan is multilayered with precision and hand-polished for as many as five hours. No other solid-paint color motor car has such an application of paint and lacquer.

The car’s finish serves as the perfect canvas for a contrasting coachline.

The darkened Spirit of Ecstasy mascot is presented in high-gloss black chrome, and the iconic Rolls-Royce badges are inverted to become silver-onblack. The front grille surround, side frame finishers, boot handle, boot trim, lower air inlet finisher and exhaust pipes are darkened, and the vertical grille bars remain polished, reflecting the blackened surfaces that surround them.

The new Cullinan wears all-new 22-inch forged alloy wheels, reserved exclusively for the bespoke automobile. The wheels are accompanied by another first for Rolls-Royce with the marque’s first-ever colored brake caliper. The high-gloss red paint offsets the new dark wheels.

BLACK BADGE CULLINAN INTERIOR: SUPERLATIVE COMFORT, AUDACIOUS DESIGN Designers, engineers and craftspeople collaborated in creating a luxury carbon-fiber finish, developed to create repeating geometrical shapes in a three-dimensional effect. Each leaf of technical fiber is finished with six coats

of lacquer before being left to cure for 72 hours, then hand-polished to RollsRoyce’s hallmark mirror finish.

Starlight Headliner has joined Rolls-Royce iconography alongside the Spirit of Ecstasy, and Pantheon Grille makes its Cullinan debut on the Black Badge. Crafted in black leather with 1344 individual fiber optic cables, the new Bespoke Starlight Headliner incorporates a new shooting star feature with eight brilliant white shooting stars.

Color and trim designers have created a bold new leather color, Forge Yellow, offered as part of the brand’s curated collection. The new colors can also be commissioned for the Bespoke Viewing Suite or incorporated into the Recreation Module tailored to any client’s specifications.

BLACK BADGE CULLINAN ENGINEERING: THE ARCHITECTURE OF LUXURY’S DARK SIDE The vehicle’s sub-structure, featuring Rolls-Royce’s Architecture of Luxury proprietary all-aluminum architecture, delivers extraordinary body stiffness that is fitted with all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering.

Like all Black Badge family members, the Cullinan is enhanced to generate an extra 29 brake horsepower (BHP) for a total of 600BHP and an additional 37 ft-lb (50Nm) for a total 664 ft-lb (900Nm) of torque. Pressing the “Low” button on the gear shift unlocks Black Badge Cullinan’s full suite of technologies including the new Black Badge audible exhaust, creating a deep rumble of the 6.75-litre twinturbocharged V12.

The car features Rolls-Royce’s “Intuitive Throttle” with a more aggressive shift pattern for the ZF 8-speed transmission. Both front and rear steered axles work collaboratively to adjust the levels of engagement depending on throttle and steering inputs. Changes to suspension components and settings add to the suite of dynamic technologies that ensure a balanced, dynamic and refined ride. Also, the car features a raised braking bite point and decreased pedal travel.

Redesigned brake discs also allow consistency in these changes while braking at elevated temperatures.

The Black Badge Cullinan is now available for commission. For more, visit www.rollsroycemotorcars.com.

OVER THE YEARS, HUBLOT HAS ACTIVELY CONTRIBUTED

to many great charity organizations. Continuing this tradition, it has now joined forces with Kevin Pietersen, whose organization, Save Our Rhino Africa India (SORAI), is determined to protect the rhinos from extinction. This threat is very real, since two-thirds of all the rhino species are estimated to disappear within the next few decades as their populations are sharply declining.

Hublot is helping SORAI to fight this battle with this special, limited-edition Big Bang Unico. A significant portion of the funds raised will go to Care for Wild. This organization, the largest of its kind in the world, takes care of baby rhinos that are orphaned as a result of poaching. By doing so, Hublot will contribute to the survival of the species as a whole. Another large part of the revenues will go to the South African National Parks agency, which will use it to upgrade its airborne thermalsurveillance capabilities. This allows them to track rhinos (even at night) and keep an eye out for poachers.

As usual, Hublot went all out to ensure that this watch is exceptional. Only 100 pieces were made with the case of the watch crafted from beige ceramic, which is micro-blasted for a subtle matte finish. There are beige details on the dial, where a small rhino serves as a constant reminder of its precarious situation in the world. The finishing touch is the strap, with camouflage decor that not only goes very well with the beige ceramic case, but also blends in perfectly with the natural habitat of the rhino.

Richard Mille honors Kimi Räikkönen with new RM 50-04 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph

NOBODY IN FORMULA 1 IS AS COOL AS KIMI RÄIKKÖNEN.

This 2007 World Champion earned his nickname “Iceman” by keeping his cool under the most challenging circumstances, not only for Formula 1, but also in WRC and NASCAR. One accolade that he hadn’t received was his very own Richard Mille, which is now remedied as he joins the family of the famed watch manufacturer, following in the footsteps of other Formula 1 legends such as Jean Todt, Felipe Massa and Romain Grosjean.

Räikkönen’s namesake watch is the new RM 50-04 Tourbillon SplitSeconds Chronograph. This watch couldn’t be more perfect for the accomplished race car driver, since it features a very complex movement that combines a tourbillon with a split-seconds chronograph. In addition, the movement is crafted from ultra-light materials such as Carbon TPT and Grade 5 titanium. And, its extensive skeletonization results in it weighing only 7 grams. However, don’t mistake its complexity and lightness as being fragile—this watch could quite easily join Räikkönen on his roughest rides, since it has been tested to ensure it can handle shocks up to 5,000g.

The colors of the watch officially take after the C38 single-seater that Räikkönen drives for the Alfa Romeo Racing team, but it could very well be a reference to the nickname and the background of this Finnish driver. Both the caseback as well as the bezel are crafted from white Quartz TPT, which gives the watch a refreshing look. It also offers a great contrast to the many red details on the dial and chronograph pushers and to the strap, as well.

The dial also features the number seven, which is Räikkönen’s car number.

Richard Mille will craft only 30 pieces of the RM 50-04 Tourbillon SplitSeconds Chronograph Kimi Räikkönen, available through its boutiques worldwide. This highly complicated and technically advanced watch will cost $1,063,000. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 101

+The Best Watches Of SIAR 2019 Every year, the Salón Internacional de Alta Relogeria (SIAR) gets bigger and better. Most of the brands attending have already taken on the tradition of bringing something special to this fair in Mexico. Most launch a special edition of an existing watch, but some take a whole new watch with them. Take a look at some of the best watches introduced at this year’s edition of the SIAR.

BY MARTIN GREEN

RJ ARRAW SPIDER-MAN TOURBILLON RJ made quite an impression at SIAR as it launched its very first complication, which is not only designed entirely inhouse, but will also be made in the manufacture of the brand in Switzerland. It features a peripheral indication of the hours and minutes, as the center of the watch is dedicated to showcasing an oversized tourbillon. Winding the movement isn’t done by a traditional crown, but by pulling up a hoop that is recessed in the caseback. The power reserve is an impressive 150 hours, and the movement is captured in a 45mm case that is crafted from a composite of red fiberglass and black carbon. The watch was inspired by Spider-Man himself, as RJ joined forces with Marvel, making this watch even more unique.

CHRISTOPHE CLARET MAESTRO QUETZALCÓATL Christophe Claret introduced an extraordinary edition of the Maestro, the watch known for its unique memory system. It unveiled the Quetzalcóatl, which shows a feathered serpent, derived from an ancient Aztec legend. Based on the Maestro Mamba, it features a “snake” crawling over the front of the watch. The timepiece was made with an incredible eye for detail and engraved entirely by hand. Despite being quite small, it fits on the dial of the watch, and the feathers look almost lifelike. Plus, the head of the serpent is equally captivating and full of color. This version of the Maestro will have only eight pieces made.

HUBLOT BIG BANG MP-11 SAXEM As “King of Fusion,” Hublot has often used or created materials that have never been seen before in watchmaking.

With the Big Bang MP-11 SAXEM, it continues this tradition.

It developed a beautiful green SAXEM by using a material it has mastered—sapphire. This material uses the primary component of sapphire—aluminum oxide, which is mixed with elements such as chromium, holmium and thulium. The result resembles an emerald that is not only perfectly clear, but also much harder. As the first watch to be fitted with a case of this new material, Hublot opted for its legendary MP-11, with its seven mainspring barrels that give the watch a power reserve of no less than two weeks.

GREUBEL FORSEY HAND MADE 1 Greubel Forsey also brought something very special to SIAR. The brand flexed its considerable horological muscles and introduced a watch that has been made by using hand-operated tools. With this creation, it not only celebrates these rare crafts, but also plays a vital role in the preservation of it for future generations. The work requires a wide variety of competencies, many of which are labor intensive. In total, it takes 6,000 hours for a single watch to be completed. Greubel Forsey is planning to make only two to three of these watches a year, making its collection a true rarity in terms of numbers. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 103

+Freak Like Me How Ulysse Nardin taught us that the future is freaky.

close-to-experimental technology when making timepieces that are sold to the public. Even when tested extensively, the technology can malfunction, and even when fixed, the brand’s reputation becomes damaged. However, that didn’t stop Ulysse Nardin from launching its “Freak” model in 2001. It would be the first in a lineage of watches that is now close to two decades in the making. It was, and still is, a watch in which Ulysse Nardin boldly brought cutting-edge technology to its fans.

The first Freak used silicon in the watch movement, a material that has now been adopted by many other brands, as well. While the Freak was profoundly progressive and avant-garde, it remains a mechanical watch at heart and honors the rich past of watchmaking. It also has a few unique characteristics that would become hallmarks of the Freak up until this year.

As the watch lacks a crown, winding the mechanical movement is done by turning the case back, while setting the watch is quite easy thanks to an inventive and intuitive system that operates by turning the bezel.

For Ulysse Nardin, the Freak collection has been constantly evolving.

In 2005, the Freak Diamond Heart used synthetic diamonds on some escapement parts. And the brand developed this further: In 2007, it launched the Freak DIAMonSIL, in which the silicon parts are coated with synthetic diamonds for a superb, improved performance.

Ulysse Nardin further upped its game in 2010 with the introduction of the Freak Diavolo. This watch was fitted with a flying tourbillon. An interesting feature was added to the Freak, with the escapement also taking on the role of the minute hand. It is, by design, in the same position only once every hour, something that is referred to as a “flying carousel system.” The use of the one-minute flying tourbillon saw the Freak Diavolo as the first in the collection to display the seconds.

104 HAUTE LIVING hautetime.com

The Freak has always been an aesthetic highlight in the world of watches. In 2013, Ulysse Nardin redesigned the bridges and “hands” of the watch to connect to the maritime world, where the brand holds quite a reputation. And in 2015, the brand introduced the FreakLab, the first watch in the collection that has a date function. While this doesn’t sound very exciting, the watch still had no crown, so Ulysse Nardin had to develop a unique mechanism that allows its user to set not only the time, but also the date through the bezel. Less noticeable, but equally important, is that Ulysse Nardin also equipped this watch with UlyChoc, a shock-absorber system that the brand not only developed in-house, but also made in its factory.

Up until 2018, all of the Freaks had been manual wind, but that would change with the introduction of the Freak Vision. This watch features the innovative Grinder winding system, which Ulysse Nardin pioneered in another one of its groundbreaking watches, the InnoVision 2. It is an ingenious construction that includes a centrally mounted rotor with ball bearings and three smaller ball bearings, along with a filigree frame with two pairs of springs, which ensure that even the slightest motion of the wrist is converted into energy for movement.

Now, the Freak has evolved from a daring experiment to an innovation icon, with Ulysse Nardin introducing the Freak X this year.

This is the very first Freak that features a crown. While it still has the carousel-type movement, it is less complicated than the previous Freak models. This Freak nevertheless carries the innovative nature of its predecessors. For example, an ultra-light balance wheel is made out of silicon fitted with micro-blades and nickel flyweights for stabilization.

Packed in a sleek 43mm large case, it is perhaps even more suitable for everyday wear.

BEST OF +THE AFFLUENT ASIA Where the 1% is traveling

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

WE ALL KNOW THAT JAPAN IS ABOUT TO HAVE A MASSIVE MOMENT, SINCE TOKYO IS HOSTING THE

2020 Summer Olympics. Luxury hotels, including the Tokyo Edition Toranomon and a second Four Seasons property in Otemachi—as well as the massive $1 billion renovation of longtime mainstay Hotel Okura—are popping up just in time for the opening ceremony on July 24. While all eyes are on Japan, it would be a mistake to ignore the luxury tourism trend throughout the rest of Asia... because it’s kind of a big place, no?

Some of the best five-star hotels in the world are opening with staggering speed. Here are the new hotels, glamorous haunts and experiential retreats in Asia that all luxury enthusiasts must have on their radar.

THE MALDIVES JOALI MALDIVES Joali Maldives might seem like it’s at the ends of the Earth, but trust us when we say the journey is worth it. There’s a special brand of magic at this gorgeous Maldivian resort, which is surrounded by tranquil lagoons, pristine white-sand beaches, a lush landscape of coconut palms and translucent turquoise waters, which guests can experience from one of 73 private beaches or over-water villas. Each villa features a private infinity pool, butler service, buggy and personal driver, bicycle, curated in-villa libraries and handpicked art. It’s hard to know where to look or what to do first—everything is not only blindingly beautiful, but also exquisitely executed, chock full of Instagrammable moments that only nature can truly provide. Do you gaze at the multicolored fish that swim underneath your over-water hammock? Nosh on perfectly prepared fare from one of six dining outlets, such as the standout Saoke, the first restaurant in the Maldives to be designed by renowned Japanese restaurant architect Noriyoshi Muramatsu? Do you play with the interactive and experiential art pieces from the likes of Misha Kahn and Nacho Carbonell? Or do you go embrace Joali’s “joie de vivre” philosophy by hitting the open sea with the resort’s dedicated marine biologist, snorkel with sea turtles, grab a glass of champagne at sunset in South African artist Porky Hefer’s Manta Ray Tree House (designed as such to actually resemble a manta ray) or join a lively discussion with fellow guests over a specially curated menu at the Table of Joy? Whatever you’re looking for, we assure you, it’s here. The resort, which just celebrated its first birthday, is an unqualified success for those who want both luxury and experience. Joie de Joali indeed.

THAILAND LEBUA AT STATE TOWER Lebua checks every box for a luxury traveler, which is likely why it’s always listed on all “Best of Asia” lists—including ours, of course. The world’s first vertical destination—first made famous by The Hangover 2—is a one-stop shop for gourmands, oenophiles and hedonists, offering one-of-a-kind culinary experiences in the ultimate glamorous setting. Ten beautiful bars and restaurants fight for dominance at The Dome at lebua, including Sky Bar, which is suspended on a precipice over the city 820 feet in the air, making it one of the highest rooftop bars in the world; Mezzaluna, one of Thailand’s only 2-Michelin star restaurants; the nation’s first interactive French cuisine eatery, Chef’s Table, which just earned its first Michelin star under the skillful guidance of 3-Michelin star Chef Vincent Thierry; the specialty “millennial pink” champagne hot spot Pink Bar, which offers rare and limited editions of the world’s best bubbly; Flûte, A Perrier-Jouët bar; and lebua No. 3, which provides one of the most unique caviar experiences in the world (including cocktails made of “caviar air”). But travelers don’t come to lebua for the food alone—State Tower offers the full package: 136 luxurious suites with spectacular views of the city and Chao Phraya River; an open-air swimming pool; and a sensational spa, which offers indulgences like a synchronized fourhands massage. As a full package, lebua is the one to beat.

Embrace views of the jungle and be one with nature from a luxury tent at Rosewood Luang Prabang.

LAOS ROSEWOOD LUANG PRABANG Laos is still off the beaten path for most travelers, which may be how this onetime Buddhist hub has managed to retain its mystery. And though Rosewood has come to the jungles of UNESCO World Heritage site Luang Prabang to open its 23-key property, instead of making the area more commercial, the hotel actually embraces its surroundings, and as such, only enhances the landscape. Accommodations include four deluxe rooms, four specialty suites, three riverside villas and six pool villas, all of which have their own private dining areas and wraparound decks. The most unique stays are six luxury tents, which not only preserve the area’s flora and fauna, but also seamlessly blend with the environment to bring guests closer to nature via balconies with mountain and river vista views, rain showers and earthy décor that pays tribute to the Laotian hills tribes—each tent indicative of a different tribe—that still inhabit the surrounding sites. Yet, the spirit of Laos is amplified in other ways here. The hotel’s chef visits with local farmers and fishermen every day to determine the day’s farm-to-table menu, which is served at the Great House; the Elephant Bridge Bar mixologists utilize local herbs and spices from the on-site garden in their hand-crafted cocktails; and its peaceful Sense Spa provides indigenous treatments— including the Hmong Experience, a “Lost Remedy” provided by a native villager who employs ancient techniques and like a magical Mekong River cruise at sunset on its house boat, a visit to the majestic Kouang Si Waterfall or receiving a blessing from local monks at dawn.

SINGAPORE RAFFLES SINGAPORE One of the most exciting new hotel openings of the year is actually a reopening. The iconic Raffles Singapore, a favored haunt of the literary elite, officially reopened its doors in August following an extensive two-year renovation. Though it’s been refreshed and updated, one can still feel the history of this famous spot, which has been receiving guests since 1887. Under the meticulous renovation led by interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud, Raffles now features 115 suites with three additional categories—Residence, Promenade and Studio—in addition to the existing Courtyard, Palm Court, State Room, Grand Hotel, Presidential and Personality suites, the latter of which pay tribute to famous guests such as Ava Gardner, Charlie Chaplin and Elizabeth Taylor.

The hotel’s quintessential colonial charm—always prominently displayed via charming verandas and polished teakwood floors—now includes bathrooms redesigned with beautiful Victorian details and Peranakan tiles as well as more modernized technology; the entire room—as well experiences on offer, including Le Dame de Pic, a collaboration with Chef Anne-Sophie Pic of the 3-Michelin star Maison Pic; BBR by Alain Ducasse; and yì by Jereme Leung. Even returning favorites have been updated: New herringbone flooring has been added to the iconic Tiffin Room; the legendary Writer’s Bar—a favored haunt of Somerset Maugham, Noël Coward, Rudyard Kipling and Joseph Conrad—now offers an expanded bar with bespoke craft cocktails that pay tribute to said literary luminaries; and Long Bar, home of the original Singapore Sling, has been given a physical refresh, as well. Our suggestion: Embrace the old and the new as the hotel intends.

Try a new restorative treatment at the spa, swim in the rooftop pool and throw peanuts on the floor at Long Bar. Create some new traditions while embracing a few old ones.

VIETNAM FOUR SEASONS RESORT THE NAM HAI, HOI AN With an idyllic location on Vietnam’s rich central coast, The Nam Hai, a Four Seasons property, offers a portal to three UNESCO World Heritage sites as well as access to the country’s most celebrated beach, making it a prime destination for travelers looking for something a little different, yet still supremely luxurious.

Hoi An has shown a tremendous amount of growth in recent years, and, in our opinion, is on the cusp of becoming the next big travel destination—as much for its dedication to well-being and mindfulness as its respect of the local culture. Views and sounds of the ocean, relaxing private villa pools and bedside eggshell lacquer bathtubs are all the elements necessary for a peaceful vacation, but the aim of this particular resort is to provide a 360-degree mindfulness experience. It achieves this through treatments grounded in stability, creativity and nonjudgment at its award-winning Heart of the Earth Spa; with “interbeing” in-villa wellness kits that include a bell of mindfulness (a small singing bowl used by Vietnamese monks); mindful meditation tracks loaded on in-room iPods; bespoke bathing rituals for a sensory soak; a rotation of visiting well-being experts; AntiGravity Yoga; and, of course, through prerequisite mindfulness and meditation classes. If this type of mindfulness isn’t the kind you’re seeking, you can always find a little something something at The Bar, which serves up craft cocktails that embrace the Vietnamese spirit, which include a Grey Goose-based confection served in an actual bird’s nest, a pho cocktail with a beef jerky garnish and a Vietnamese tea cocktail.

The glorious Il Bar (top) at Bvlgari Hotel Shanghai (left) has some of the most magnificent views of the “Pearl of the Orient.”

CHINA BVLGARI HOTEL SHANGHAI Luxury bauble brand Bvlgari has created the ultimate shining jewel in its Shanghai hotel, which, appropriately, is located in the Pearl of the Orient. The centrally located property— which offers views of the Bund and Huangpu River—brings a hefty dose of Italian glamour to this chic Chinese city with its quietly tasteful esthetic, haute cuisine and top-notch spa and fitness center. The 48-floor hotel, which opened its doors just over 18 months ago, features tastefully decorated rooms, the highlight of which is its Bvlgari Suite—a 4,300-square-foot masterpiece with double-height ceilings. Bvlgari brings the best of the best to a city already known for its extravagances here: It has the largest hotel suite in Shanghai full stop, and accessible only via private lift. What makes the hotel so “extra” is its offerings, such as restaurant Bao Li Xuan, which has retained its Michelin star for a second year, as well as its brand-wide culinary concept Il Ristorante, helmed by 3-Michelin-starred Chef Niko Romito. treatments alike such as La Mer facials and Qi balancing; a massive swimming pool; a beauty salon and barber; and the Workshop Gymnasium, a comprehensive physical training service founded by Lee Mullins (who has been heralded as one of the world’s best personal trainers; we can attest). The Bvlgari Hotel Shanghai also provides a bespoke shopping service with personal art, fashion and lifestyle shopping consultants, and can arrange private viewings of Bvlgari jewels en-suite. We suggest guests pair this stay with a stop at the brand’s Beijing property. Despite a few of the same amenities (including Maserati limousines as house cars), a stay here is a completely different experience. This property manages to offer a true oasis in China’s bustling capital city. With its bamboo walkway, prime location literally on the banks of the Liangma River and lush private gardens—designed by Swiss landscape designer Enzo Enea (Founder of Zurich’s Tree Museum)—guests will feel completely Zen in this quietly lavish environment, which creates a dialogue between Italy and China, effectively and luxuriously fusing the gap between East and West.

BLAKE LIVELY JUST GAVE BIRTH TO BABY NUMBER THREE WITH

husband Ryan Reynolds, so needless to say, by now she well and truly knows all the essentials every expecting parent needs. Though the two have not officially announced the birth or sex of their third, the Deadpool star inadvertently might have spilled the beans when he Tweeted “I love B.C. I want my daughters to experience the same natural playground I grew up in.”

Either way, the mom to mystery baby number three and daughters James, 4, and Inez, 3, is more than qualified to talk about parenting gear. The Rhythm Section star joined forces with Amazon Baby Registry to develop a curated guide. Everything within the storefront has been handpicked by Lively herself, was inspired by her own experiences in motherhood and covers what new parents may need (or want), including eco-friendly and sustainable products, as well as items close to her heart.

When speaking about the guide, she shares: “I understand how overwhelming it is to be a new parent. What they don’t tell you is it never gets less overwhelming, but with each kid I do learn more.

Before I had my first, I was lucky enough to have the parents in my life who I trusted most share their ‘must haves’ with me. I hope to do the same for you with my baby registry picks. Good luck! You’re gonna need it.”

In tandem, Lively will also make a donation to Child Rescue Coalition, a nonprofit organization she’s worked with for the past few years and is very passionate about.

And without further ado, now you, too, can buy what she bought!

FASHION, FEMINISM One-on-one interview with Director of Fashion Partnerships at Instagram and children’s book author Eva Chen, on her book and children’s clothing line, “Juno Valentine by Janie and Jack Collection,” based off its characters.

BY DEYVANSHI MASRANI

EC: Literally anyone who wants to have fun with kids clothes (which is truly the funnest!!!)

TL: From where did you draw inspiration both for Juno and Finn’s characters, as well as the pieces as part of the Juno Valentine by Janie and Jack Collection?

EC: There are elements of Ren and Tao [Chen’s two children] in both characters, of course. The creative, imaginative soul of Ren and the sweet mischief of Tao. For the clothes, the Janie and Jack team was amazing to work with—so creative and came to the table with hundreds of ideas! We looked at vintage fabrics and so many old Audrey Hepburn movies and period pieces. It was a blast.

TL: What are the three most important factors to consider when designing clothing for children and why?

EC: Will kids play in them, will kids dream in them, and will kids want to wear them EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF JANIE AND JACK

TL: What is it that the three fashion icons you chose—Audrey Hepburn, Marie Antoinette and Josephine Baker—represent that you wanted to reflect in the collection?

EC: I loved how different they all were but groundbreakers in their own way. And each style is so distinct: bold, black, white, and red for Audrey, layers and fluff galore for Marie, and embellished glam for Josephine!

Tot Living: Tell us about the Juno Valentine by Janie and Jack Collection, in your own words.

Eva Chen: Fashion is a form of self-expression for kids... Kids might want to wear a superhero cape one day and lightning bolt overalls the next and a tulle gown the next! This collection is all about having fun, no matter what the mood!

TL: What made you decide to combine fashion and fantasy in your children’s book, Juno Valentine and the Fantastic Fashion Adventure?

EC: I think that fashion, feminism, and fairytales can all co-exist and, in fact, do in this day and age. Don’t we all feel stronger when we wear red, or put on a power suit? I want kids to hear that they can try lots of different things on, quite literally, to figure out who they can be!

TL: What types of children/parents are the Juno Valentine by Janie and Jack Collection for?

TL: How were you so seamlessly able to combine motherhood and your love for fashion in your career?

EC: I just try to show the full spectrum of my life, from my mom jeans and stained sweatshirts to the fun nights I have (very rarely!). We’re all multifaceted, so I try to show it all.

TL: What are your favorite pieces from the collection and why?

EC: I LOVE the blue Marie Antoinettte set: a tulle tea-length tutu and the sweatshirt. A little bit of high-low!

TL: What do your children think of the book and of the collection?

EC: They love seeing the book in bookstores and will shout out JUNO! And the collection: Ren LOVES the Marie skirts, she can’t get enough of the fluff!

TL: What’s next for you and what can we expect in the near future?

EC: I am hoping a long nap is in the future :) @totliving HAUTE LIVING 115

Move over, sad beanbag chairs. The children’s playroom has evolved from a sorry space with a bright carpet and a few blocks to a totally over-the-top space, and we love it. Here are 7 New York examples we can’t get enough of.

design world, these children’s playrooms showcase everything from custom dioramas to slides and LEGO walls. These incredible spaces are imaginative, educational, experiential and most importantly, fun. One might say they could rival a kid’s own bedroom. Here are seven playrooms in luxury New York residences that add a new meaning to playtime.

THE ALYN Featuring 2,400 square feet of indoor and outdoor play space, the playroom at The Alyn allows children explore two interlocking ships, jungle palm trees, castles, slides, sprinklers, playboats and planetary ceilings, encouraging the soaring of their imaginations. The Alyn’s location is on the Upper East Side, incorporating family-focused amenities that were a top priority for the developer, Gordon Property Group. The playroom provides endless opportunities for playing, interacting and learning, and it incorporates a wealth of interactive features for babies, toddlers and kids.

THE PARK LOGGIA Pembrooke & Ives designed 20,000 square feet of amenities for the 172 condominiums at The Park Loggia, including a two-story kid’s playroom with multiple slides and custom treehouse-inspired cutouts for children to play and hide. There’s also a rock-climbing wall and creative seating throughout the space for kids and their adult chaperones to rest and spread out games.

THE KENT There’s no need to send your kids away to summer camp if you live in The Kent on the Upper East Side. At Camp Kent, an indooroutdoor playground designed by Williams New York and executed

by Extell Development and Beyer Blinder Belle, youngsters can climb a real treehouse, tell stories around a “campfire” surrounded by reimagined birch trees and follow a custom carpet with a contoured stream and plantings. Camp Kent has everything a kid needs to spend a night “under the stars.”

QUAY TOWER Brooklyn’s record-setting waterfront condominium, Quay Tower, has just unveiled its spectacular collection of amenities designed by AD100 Designer Marmol Radziner, including a children’s playroom. Colorful and bright, the 1,500-square-foot children’s room inspires imaginations to run wild. Kids will be occupied for hours on the playset, or inside the playset. The music room next door also offers concerts and lessons in partnership with the Brooklyn Music School.

The Kent The Park Loggia

WATERLINE SQUARE At Waterline Square, developer GID Development Group tapped renowned children’s museum and aquarium designer Roto to create an exceptional interactive experience inside their 4,600-squarefoot children’s playroom. Roto crafted the massive children’s space with the same spirit as its national, institutional designs, making it into a global exploration-learning experience. The design of the playroom centers on a fictional adventure story that Roto created specifically for Waterline Square. The “story” takes children on a worldly journey—with each room mimicking different scenes—to Stonehenge, on a safari in Africa, to the Egyptian pyramids, surfing in Australia, to the islands of Hawai’i and beyond. Each space is designed to be highly interactive and features fun elements such as a slide, train table and safari car.

11 HOYT 11 Hoyt is a new luxury residential building, developed by Tishman Speyer, located at the crossroads of Downtown Brooklyn and brownstone Brooklyn. The 57-story tower rises 620 feet and spans almost an entire city block. It includes a 27,000-square-foot elevated, private park for residents. The main attraction is the Park Club, which includes an indoor children’s playroom as well as a custom outdoor playground.

130 WILLIAM 130 William is world-renowned architect Sir David Adjaye’s first skyscraper, as well as his first high-rise tower in NYC. The building features a Children’s Activity Center where the building’s younger residents can enjoy athletic activity zones, including a trampoline room, mini soccer field, mini basketball court and play area. Recognized as one of the leading architects of his generation, Adjaye was recently knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. @totliving HAUTE LIVING 117

Mr. Hospitality’s El Tucán brings the party to dinner with impeccable food, beverage and programming in the heart of Brickell.

BY PAIGE MASTRANDREA

There’s no place that better epitomizes the beauty of the Magic City than Mr. Hospitality’s El Tucán.

Adjacent to its neighboring concept, Marion, the high-energy restaurant relaunched earlier this year with a new look and feel, boasting a stunning design that transports you to the tropics, bringing the party along with it all night long.

The recently revamped space is designed to stimulate all of the senses, with a glamorous atmosphere decked out in lush foliage, with murals of wild animals and tokens of the Amazonian rainforest. LED wall displays create the perfect backdrop, leading guests through an adventurous journey all night long with stellar programming and picturesque production.

While it’s known for being one of the most fun destinations in town with seductive dancers, live DJ beats, singers, aerialists and other enticing 120 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

performances, El Tucán delivers on all fronts to complete the experience—and that means exquisite menu items and innovative cocktails.

The dinner menu offers something for everyone, featuring decadent Asian-inspired dishes that are meant to be shared—making it the perfect destination for a large dinner party. Standouts include the Popcorn Shrimp, Chicken Wing Lollipops, Satay of Chilean Sea Bass or the fan-favorite Truffle Tuna Pizza to start; heartier sharing dishes also include the Imperial Wagyu Beef Sliders, the indulgent Black Truffle Pizza or the warm hot pot.

If you’re craving sushi, guests can delight in its signature Maki Rolls like the Two Timing Tuna, El Tucán Toro Toro or Hamachi Jalapeño, or opt for one of its gorgeous Sushi Platters for a bit of everything.

Each roll is more innovative than the next, created with only the freshest fish available to them.

CUISINE

And additionally, the spot boasts a mouthwatering Robata section, highlighting premium fish and meat entrees grilled fresh with delicious sides. Enjoy a Spicy Ginger Filet Mignon with Wafu Garlic, Red Amaranth and Micro Cilantro; or sink your teeth into the rich Teppanyaki Bone Marrow 12 oz. Ribeye with truffle sauce and spring onion. The Wood-Grilled Branzino is also a must for something light and fresh, or if you’re feeling indulgent, the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu Kobe Beef never disappoints.

Of course, end your dining experience El Tucán style, with flaming bottles of champagne parades and a picturesque dessert platter brimming with fresh fruits, chocolate cake, ice cream and more.

El Tucán is open from Wednesday-Sunday from 8 p.m. until late into the night. Look out for special weekly programming, such as its new ladies’ night, Passionata, every Wednesday from 8-11 p.m. For reservations, please call 305-535-0065 or visit www.eltucanmiami.com. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 121

Wednesday night’s Holman Motorcars’ kickoff dinner celebrated the luxury-car dealership and its offerings, as well as introduced the home to the guests in attendance. To start the evening, wines, cocktails and Louis Roederer Champagne were offered to guests.

On Friday night, Haute Living partnered with Ulysse Nardin for a very special dinner, as well as XO and LOUIS XIII. The intimate cocktail and dinner served as a fundraiser for One More Wave—a nonprofit organization that creates custom surfboards for American veterans who became amputees as a result of battle or have other disabilities/PTSD, allowing them to enjoy the ocean and its therapeutic qualities. After a live auction, the group raised over $100K toward the organization, where the highlight was a lively bidding war between two guests for the #1 of 100 limited edition Ulysse Nardin x One More Wave timepiece, which went for $37,000. Other items included a custom painting by artist Maria Elena Haupert of Art by Unapologetic; a stunning cigar humidor from Gurkha’s Founder Kaizad Hansotia; a personalized LOUIS XIII in-home-tasting experience with Maximilien Pats; a Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa seven-night stay in Grand Cayman courtesy of Chris Duggan of Dart Enterprises; and substantial monetary donations.

Away +Paradise from Home Find barefoot luxury at illa Bimini Resort & Residences

shores of Miami is paradise, which has been dubbed Bimini. The paradisiacal island is the closest Bahamian island to the United States and is accessible by ferry, boat, plane or helicopter. The slender ribbon of land packs a big punch with its postcard beaches, turquoise waters and reputation for drawing in the likes of greats such as Ernest Hemingway, who regularly enjoyed big-game fishing, and Martin Luther King Jr. With the Atlantic Ocean to the west and Caribbean Sea to the east, Bimini offers the best of both worlds, from calm waters to the rage of the Atlantic. Starting next year, travelers will have another reason to visit when illa Bimini Resort & Residences breaks ground in spring 2020.

This world-class designed development will introduce barefoot luxury to the island. Designed by Island Developers—a leading Caribbean real estate development firm— globally recognized Oppenheim Architecture + Design and renowned landscape architect Raymond Jungles, the beachfront eco-chic resort will feature residential villas and a five-star boutique hotel situated on three private islands, just north of Bimini.

Residents and guests will be able to digitally detox on the secluded beach hideaway, which occupies 40 acres and spans over 9,000 feet of coastline.

“Today’s high-net-worth individuals are going back to basics. We wanted to create an environment that encourages residents and guests to turn off their phones, disconnect from the modern-day chaos and fully immerse themselves with the simplest pleasures of life,” says Alejandro Capo, Co-Founder and a Principal of Island Developers. “The property is designed to complement the laid-back Caribbean vibes alongside the luxury of unplugging.”

The development is a vision of natural beauty with a mere 54 three- and fourbedroom residential villas and a 49-key boutique, five-star hotel. Guests are encouraged to escape the relentless pace of daily life and instead adopt a slow lifestyle, which allows them to disconnect and focus on the nature, family, time and simplicity.

“Bimini’s natural landscape is incomparable, and its real estate market is a rising hot spot,” says Rafael Reyes, Co-Founder and a Principal of Island Developers. “With close proximity to the Miami Beach, illa Bimini will be a hidden gem for owners and guests, as it offers a rare combination of exclusivity as a private island and convenient access that gives owners the opportunity to enjoy their home more often.”

Escaping to serenity is easy with the development’s focus on utmost privacy, allowing residents and guests to enjoy a haven all to their own. The private residential villas boast floor-to-ceiling windows, natural wood textures, outdoor decks and terraces with plunge pools for that added taste of luxury. Boat lovers and yacht enthusiasts will even be able to dock their yachts, as the waterfront villas allow vessels up to 90 feet long to dock behind their homes.

“In terms of development, illa Bimini Resort & Residences is not expanding the development footprint of the already-existing environmentally approved plans for the project and will not negatively impact the land in any way,” adds Reyes. “To enhance our sustainability efforts, we have incorporated a complete solar package, energymanagement system and smart-home technology into our design and services.”

Both owners and guests will find a paradise infused with adventure and the finer things in life. The development offers thoughtfully curated amenities such as beachfront pool, garden tennis courts, bar and lounge, restaurant, library, water taxi and more. The idyllic resort will also offer concierge services to help organize travel arrangements, dining and entertainment reservations as well as private chefs, sommeliers and pet care.

The Face Man, Dr. Jhonny Salomon

BY ANDRES E. CACERES

DR. JHONNY SALOMON HAS BEEN A LEADER IN COSMETIC SURGERY

over the last two decades following his certification by the American Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Based in Miami, Dr. Salomon is known for the compassion and dedication he puts forth when treating his patients, as well as in the creation of all forms of art.

Throughout his career, Dr. Salomon has impacted the lives of many patients with his unique approach to their well-thought-out transformations and has also impacted the lives of those less fortunate by dedicating his time to philanthropic work such as the Day of Smiles organization based in Miami, and Haiti earthquake relief. As Haute Living closes the year with our Art Basel issue, we sit down with Haute Beauty partner Dr. Salomon for a Q&A to talk about the past decade and future of plastic surgery, his advice to the new charge of plastic surgeons and of course, art.

Haute Living: With 2019 coming to an end, what do you feel was the most important development in your field within the last decade?

Dr. Jhonny Salomon: Plastic surgery is continuing to evolve both in the invasive and minimally invasive arenas. Surgery techniques are becoming more tailored to the specific patient, moving away from the “cookie cutter� approach of the past, resulting in much more precise and natural looks. As far as noninvasive treatments, various new injectables have been introduced to the field over the last decade as well as new neuromodulators. Coolsculpting has been a major force in the market for fat removal without surgery, and noninvasive vaginal rejuvenation

is also a treatment that I have seen a lot of advancements. Procedures such as EMSculpt have been a great addition to plastic surgery, as they support the building of muscle in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms and calves, which goes in hand with the removal of fat.

HL: What procedures do you expect will develop in the coming new year and decade?

JS: It’s hard to forecast. However, I think the trend will move towards adding more noninvasive technologies in the coming years. I’m hopeful that stem-cell technologies will become more mainstream and a greater part of the plastic surgeon’s day-to-day life.

HL: Your patients’ pleasure with their final looks easily measure the quality of your work as a plastic surgeon. How do you measure your pleasure with the art pieces you create?

JS: An artist knows when a painting or sculpture is done. It’s an intuitive artistic sense that the message has been conceptualized and nothing else needs to be done. It applies the same for all art and plastic surgery.

HL: The artistic process is evident in all forms of art. You have delved into sculpture in recent years. How does the artistic process in sculpture relate to your work as a surgeon?

JS: The artistic process is the same in all forms of art. However, sometimes it is a very quick and intuitive process as in photography, and sometimes it’s very slow in conceptualization such as in sculptures. In the past, I used to start with an idea and add a lot of thought during the process of creation. In recent years, I have spent more time focusing on the conceptualization and visualization of the final work prior to commencing the piece. With my sculptures, for example, it can take me six months to nurse the idea in my mind and prepare for the piece, and then the execution is completed rather quickly once started.

HL: It has been two decades since you became board-certified. How do you adapt and adopt new procedures? Do you have a process of evaluation for each one?

JS: Yes, my process for vetting each procedure is quite extensive. Prior to introducing a new technology to my practice, I want to see that it has developed a reputation in the market and isn’t just considered a trend in advancements.

Many times, I will try the procedure on myself as well as staff members to analyze the results prior to introducing it to my practice as a whole. Ultimately, I want to make sure that the technology is safe and that it will benefit my patients with long-lasting results.

HL: What expert advice do you give to the new generation of plastic surgeons as they begin their careers?

JS: The No. 1 bit of advice I would give to someone considering a career in plastic surgery, even prior to them beginning their studies, is to have a real passion for medicine and art. If they have this, they will probably become very successful in their careers. I would also remind them to always be empathetic and good to their patients, to put their heart into every procedure, be fair to their competitors and to always give back to the community.

ON HALLOWEEN EVENING, LVMH’S NEWEST TEQUILA

brand, Volcán tequila, payed homage to the Mexican tradition that is Día de los Muertos, by hosting a festive celebration inspired by the theme at Miami’s newest nightlife destination, El Santo/Don Diablo.

Throughout the speakeasy, Volcán decorated the space with its beautiful tequila bottles, Volcán-branded candles and specialty cocktails that were both delicious and on-theme for the night. Favorites included the “Don Diablo,” made with Volcán tequila, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, sage infusion, fresh pineapple and a dash of Cholula hot sauce; the “Ave Maria,” ritual tequila-tasting flights with Volcán Blanco and Cristalino; as well as sipping tequilas, sangrita and verdita.

Bartenders and staff, as well as attendees, all arrived in their best Día de los Muertos-inspired getups, boasting impressive face art, masks and extravagant black attire.

Throughout the night, they posed with props and Día de los Muertos-themed photo opportunities that flooded the Instagram feeds.

And of course, the night was complete with traditional Mexican entertainment, from performing artists to luchadores, catrinas and mariachi bands that kept the crowd going wild.

It was a wonderfully spooky Halloween, made complete by the festive evening put on by Volcán tequila, which invited guests to imbibe in tequila experiences combined with ancient rituals and libations that transported them through time.

Woman of Finance Gloria Gebbia talks purchase of Siebert Financial and a new Miami office.

BY NATASHA BAZIKA PHOTOGRAPHY ROMAIN MAURICE

U P U N T I L TH E M ID - 1 9 6 0 S , WA L L S T R E E T WA S A M A N’ S CL U B , B U T TH AT WAS BEF ORE

Muriel Faye Siebert—also known as the first woman of finance—secured a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. “She was not just a powerful woman, but she also had a belief that she wanted to be equal to the men on Wall Street,” says Gloria Gebbia, Controlling Shareholder and board member of Siebert Financial. “Even today, she has a dedicated hall on the New York Stock Exchange.”

Gebbia’s family had a long-standing relationship with Siebert, which factored largely into the purchasing of Siebert Financial. “Over the years, my family and I had many conversations with her about partnering together,” Gebbia says. And she continues to honor Siebert’s distinguished achievements at the John Wayne Cancer Institute gala. “We felt that there was a real opportunity to carry on her legacy, her name and the company,” she notes.

Along with Gebbia’s personal achievements, her family holds a reputation for success on Wall Street.

“My husband and I have always been in finance,” Gebbia says. Her first break on Wall Street in the financial business was primarily in banking. “I put in a job application for banking, but at this time there were not many positions open for women,” she recalls.

According to Gebbia, females were limited to positions involving secretarial or clerical duties, rather than management positions, which were assigned to men at that time. “If you look at today’s workplace, you can see how much that has changed over the past several years,” Gebbia notes, adding, “Muriel Siebert’s impact and brand was an influence to women of Wall Street, and it’s definitely a name and a brand to believe in.”

Siebert Financial has been established for over 50 years, serving clients in California, New Jersey, New York and Miami, as well as other locations throughout the United States. Gebbia noted that the company’s personal attention given to clients is one of the main reasons Siebert Financial has succeeded and continues to grow. “Our approach and beliefs are similar to Siebert’s, and with our relationship always being there, it seemed like a natural fit to acquire Siebert Financial,” she says.

In 1967, Siebert obtained her seat on the New York Stock Exchange, and a few years later she was named Superintendent of Banks for the State of New York, regulating about $500 billion in bank assets. It was the most senior position given to a woman at the time.

“The services Siebert Financial offers are tailored to providing financial advantages to the client,” Gebbia says. With offices in Beverly Hills, New Jersey and Miami, Gebbia plans to expand in Miami, in particular, looking for more opportunities in South Florida and Southeast Florida, where a large portion of clientele reside. “One of the main reasons for expanding to Miami was to cater to our large clientele base already there, which is why we opened an office in the Miami Design District,” Gebbia explains.

The Siebert offices are convenient for clients who can walk in and experience the customer service Siebert Financial is known for. “The goal was to be accessible, which is why she chose the Design District over a typical Brickell office tower,” she says.

“We had a grand opening in June, and it was simply amazing,” she recalls. “The response from our Miami clients, the Miami chamber and the Design District was outstanding. We had hundreds of attendees who came out to see our beautiful Miami office. It helped us re-establish a presence in the Miami area.” According to Gebbia, “Our longtime clients were excited to meet the new generation behind Siebert Financial,” she says.

As for the business, Gebbia says that she would like to keep it in the family, especially with 10 grandchildren and sons who could all inherit the company and take over someday. “As times change, the company will change too, navigating through an ever changing market place,” she notes.

Besides the family business, Gebbia has a philanthropic heart, particularly with her involvement with the John Wayne Cancer Institute Gala. “All the funds raised go directly to research. Anybody working on it volunteers their money or their time to it.” Gebbia has honored Siebert many times at her events as the President of the Associates for Breast and Prostate Cancer Research Studies. “I’ve been the President for close to 21 years now and have raised almost $15 million for breast and prostate cancer research,” she says. “This year I am especially proud and honored to award The Muriel Siebert Women of Power Award to Eva Longoria.”

As a female in a mainly male-dominated industry, Gebbia rose to the top, despite the odds. “Don’t let anybody say you can’t or shouldn’t do something,” Gebbia maintains. “If it’s your dream, then nothing should stop you. I tell my children and my grandchildren the same thing: Always go after your dreams because if you believe in something, you should go for it.”

+CANTOR SPINE INSTITUTE Revolutionizing spinal care through “ultrasonic” minimally invasive procedures.

PARTNERS

BY MARISSA GONZALES

Haute

166 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

DR. JEFFREY CANTOR AT THE CANTOR SPINE INSTITUTE, LOCATED IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA., IS PIONEERING

an entirely new approach to spine surgery. Using new ultrasonic technology, individuals with spinal conditions such as cervical spinal stenosis, lumbar spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, disc herniations and more complex spinal conditions can now avoid spinal fusions.

Until recently, patients have been limited to traditional and dated spine surgery methods that utilized sharp, “Dremel” saw-like cutting tools to relieve painful pressure from the spinal nerves. Lacking in precision, blades spinning at high speeds cannot safely work in confined spaces without necessitating the removal of large amounts of bone and important structures, a process called laminectomy. These important structures that hold us upright, keep us active and mobile are subsequently replaced with rods, screws and fusions. The result can be unnecessary loss of mobility, function and lifestyle. The stiffness of fusions also creates abnormal stresses above and below the fused area, leading to increased rates of wear. Pain often returns resulting in the need for additional surgery. According to Dr. Cantor, “The process of doing a surgery to fix a problem that can potentially create a bigger problem has to be rethought.”

Now, taking advantage of new and innovative technology, Dr. Cantor offers his patients motion-preserving, functionsparing, and lifestyle-saving spinal surgery. The “Bone Scalpel” is an ultrasonic bone cutter with a dull blade that vibrates back and forth at an extremely high frequency (22,500 oscillations per second) to essentially dissolve bone. Since the blades are not sharp and do not spin or tear, they can be safely used in confined spaces. This technology is redefining minimally invasive spinal surgery.

The ultrasonic Bone Scalpel has facilitated advances that were previously not possible or safe. After almost 30 years of clinical practice and close to 10,000 spinal-surgery procedures, ultrasonic technology has completely changed and improved Dr. Cantor’s process and practice. It has enabled him to design new surgical techniques that are much less invasive than traditional surgery and can actually do much of what laser surgery promised but failed to deliver.

Using techniques that Dr. Cantor has developed, the Bone Scalpel enables him to isolate and essentially dissolve the painful bone spurs that “pinch” nerves. It is a precision sculpting tool that enables bone cutting in a tiny space, and it can be used safely, even in direct contact with nerves. This instrument allows access to work inside the spinal canal with less compromise of native anatomy. Traditional laminectomy is no longer necessary. The normal, necessary, structures that hold us up, keep us active and mobile can be preserved. “If you don’t remove the important structures of the spine, you don’t have to rebuild them with fusions and rods and screws,” says Dr. Cantor.

Using these new techniques and technologies, Dr. Cantor has been able to dramatically reduce the magnitude of spinal surgeries. This process has resulted in many measurable advantages, such as preservation of mobility and function; improved surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction scores; reduced overall complications and surgical pain; dramatic reduction in narcotic needs after surgery; faster recovery and healing time; and more.

Dr. Cantor’s founding vision for Cantor Spine Institute is to deliver lifestyle-preserving, long-lasting and superior solutions for patients with spine problems. His pioneering of nondestructive processes, techniques and procedures are the result of exhaustive research, painstaking outcome analysis, incessant practice and a positive embrace of the benefits of new technology. The commitment at Cantor Spine Institute is to provide its patients with the safest, transformative and individualized treatment plans that harness the latest technology and innovations to preserve, restore and better the spine.

It is very important to note that in certain cases such as scoliosis, spinal deformity, revision surgery and other specific situations, spinal fusions are necessary and useful. However, they should be avoided whenever possible, and these new techniques facilitate that process.
