“TEQUILA IS THE NUMBER ONE SPIRIT PREFERRED BY WOMEN. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MARKETPLACE, IT’S LIKE EVERY AD IS A MAN ON A MOTORCYCLE, OR A MAN SMOKING A CIGARETTE; IT’S SO MALEORIENTED. BUT IF WOMEN ARE THE ONES DRINKING IT, WHY SHOULDN’T WOMEN BE THE ONES MAKING IT?”
E
va Longoria is taking a stand… again. The multi-hyphenate has taken a break from her family vacation to talk tequila, and currently, she’s on a well-received rant about the patriarchal nature of the industry. “Tequila is the number one spirit preferred by women. If you look at the marketplace, it’s like every ad is a man on a motorcycle, or a man smoking a cigarette; it’s so male-oriented. But if women are the ones drinking it, why shouldn’t women be the ones making it?” she wonders. It’s a valid question, but also a rhetorical one for the incredibly smart star: indeed, she already has the answer. Which is why, in part, she decided to launch her own tequila brand, Casa Del Sol — a company both inspired by and predominantly run by women. “For years, everybody was like, ‘You’re Mexican; you should have a tequila.’ And I kept thinking, No, because I don’t want to just throw my name on something,” she explains. But nothing felt authentic, and so, she dismissed every opportunity — or almost every opportunity, as it turns out. “I was always a big wine drinker, but Covid really drove me to cocktails, and that’s what sparked my interest in spirits. Casa Del Sol sent me a sample, and I thought, Wow, this is the best-tasting profile I’ve ever had in my life. And then, when I found out how it was made, that its smoothness came from being aged in cognac barrels, it finally made sense to me.” But what really had Longoria signing on the dotted line was the idea of female leadership. “This is not a tequila just for women, but it’s a femalerun brand. Our president [Colbi Corbett] is a woman, our master distiller [Carmen Gonzalez] is a woman, and our vice president of operations [Alejandra Pelayo] is a woman. To have that many women running a company in an industry that is still so male-dominated was very impressive to me.” It was also very on brand for Longoria, who has been championing women — as well as Latinas — in Hollywood for the better part of her 20-plus-year career. She says as much now. “It was an exciting [new venture] for me because it matched my brand, which is empowering women and entrepreneurs,” she explains. “It also lined up with my values — everything that I work towards philanthropically — with my daily life, and with what I support and get behind.” Without a doubt, this woman is a trailblazer. She’s a dedicated philanthropist and activist who has consistently lent her voice to the issues she’s most passionate about, from immigration to reproductive rights. In 2006, she co-founded the nonprofit Eva’s Heroes, which is dedicated to enriching the lives of those with intellectual special needs; in 2012, she founded the Eva Longoria Foundation (ELF) to help Latinas build better futures for themselves and their families; and in 2018, she co-founded Time’s Up with women such as Reese Witherspoon and Natalie Portman, raising money to support victims of sexual harassment. She also put her power behind The MACRO Episodic Lab Powered by The Black List with Charles D. King, Lena Waithe, and Franklin Leonard, to empower storytellers of color who typically do not have access to the traditional Hollywood system; co-founded the Latino Victory Fund, a movement that builds power in the Latinx community; and, last year, became a part of the first-ever National Hispanic Media Coalition’s Visionary Alliance. And these are just some of the things she’s stood for and behind — which makes her rationale for getting involved with Casa Del Sol make even more sense.
In addition to its female-led team, the brand, like Longoria herself, is distinctive. It’s a luxurious sipping tequila built on authenticity, legacy, and passion — a purpose-driven brand that not only seeks to empower Latina women, but also honors Mexican heritage and gives back to the region. Basically, it’s a perfect fit for her. In a snapshot, Casa Del Sol is a tequila inspired by the magic of golden hour and the legend of the Aztec goddess of agave, Mayahuel. It is made with hand-selected seven-year-old 100 percent blue weber agave at a distillery in Arandas, Jalisco (otherwise known as the Highlands of Mexico). Currently, the brand has four expressions: blanco, reposado, añejo, and 11:11 Angel’s Reserve, a blend of añejo and extra añejo. While most tequila is made in whiskey barrels sourced from the United States, Casa Del Sol uses cognac barrels handcrafted of French limousin oak thanks to a strategic partnership with Laurent Martell of the world’s oldest cognac family, resulting in an extremely smooth, aromatic product. It also has a distinctive pedigree in that its female-driven team truly embodies the best of Mexican culture and heritage: Alejandra Pelayo, Casa Del Sol’s head of production, is the goddaughter of one of the great tequila pioneers and a prolific master distiller; Mariana Padilla, a Mexican-based artisan, is the daughter of one of Jalisco’s cultural ambassadors, Paco Padilla; and master distiller Carmen Gonzalez Alfaro is one of the only female tequila distillers in the industry. And unlike many brands, Casa Del Sol is one that not only gives back, but prioritizes its staff by developing programs to help foster more opportunities and level the playing field for women in the Altos de Jalisco region. Its signature vegan leather necks are hand-sewn by seamstresses who otherwise wouldn’t be able to earn an income due to being the primary family caregiver or attending college. So yes, Longoria has a powerful group of women behind her, befitting her own powerhouse persona, but she isn’t just using the strength of her name as a contribution to the brand. She’s right there in the trenches with them. “[Shaping Casa Del Sol] is so much of what I do on a daily basis. I’m doing my part to put this tequila on the largest platform possible, exposing it to as many buyers, retailers, and importers as possible. Once we get liquid to lips, our job is done, game over — it’s that good, it speaks for itself — but until that happens, I’m involved in everything from the marketing to the promotion to visiting the agaveros. It doesn’t feel like work because it’s something I love.” And make no mistake, popularizing a new product — heck, even making it known — is a lot of work. But it’s a welcome venture for Longoria, who has put her all into the brand’s success. “I knew going into this that it would be a lot of work, so it’s hardly surprising. It’s an entirely new industry that I’m not an expert in, and there is a big learning curve. There’s this big, humbling period where you have to put your head down and work hard, but I have no problem out-hustling or out-working anybody in the room. For me, I welcomed the challenge, I welcomed the learning curve, I welcomed this new knowledge in my brain.” This is true to form: Longoria has always been big on learning new things. It’s been extremely well-documented how she held down a full-time starring gig on ABC’s Desperate Housewives while simultaneously earning her master’s degree in Chicano studies from California State University, Northridge [her thesis: the “Success STEMS from Diversity: The Value of @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 17
Latinas in STEM Careers”]. Casa Del Sol is just another example of how her career, life, and values are indelibly intertwined. “I think quality drives innovation, and innovation drives disruption,” she declares. “In this very crowded marketplace that has a lot of ‘celebrity tequilas,’ we’ve really defined ourselves as an ultra-premium tequila — not a celebrity tequila — because we stand for so much more and we do so much more. Again, it’s not something I’m just slapping my name on. Honoring Mexican heritage and tradition comes first and foremost, and I really think that makes us stand heads above others that feel inauthentic in their approach. For me, this is authentic. Being Mexican and having an intense respect for the culture of tequila and the people of the region — not exploiting it for its resources — and giving back to the women of the region, that is who we are. And it’s just been so easy to fold into my life [because] it’s about celebration, about family and friends, about socialization, and about honoring and applauding everyone around you. And so really, I always have a reason to drink tequila.”
I
t seems written in the stars that Eva Longoria was born in the month of March, given that this also happens to be Women’s History Month. How she’ll be celebrating her 49th trip around the sun it still unknown, but it would be my guess she’ll be a) traveling (which she deems to be the greatest luxury in life), b) with her family, husband José Bastón and five-year-old son Santiago, c) celebrating with Casa Del Sol, and d) enjoying the next day without a hangover (c and d go hand in hand, apparently — she says Casa Del Sol is so smooth that it’s almost physically impossible to get a get hangover if you’re drinking it neat). I mean, this woman knows how to do it. And by “it,” I mean life. Born from humble beginnings in Corpus Christi, Texas, Longoria’s star was always on the rise. She leaped from a daytime soap star (for two years, she appeared on CBS’ The Young and the Restless) to a career-making eightyear arc on Desperate Housewives. That said, she has never been content to just be an actress. Instead, Longoria has charted her own course and, in the process, has become so much more. Last October, she and leading entertainment executive and entrepreneur Cris Abrego formed a new media holding company and premium content studio in Hyphenate Media Group, which absorbed her lauded and awarded UnbeliEVAble Entertainment production company — a company that actively chooses purposeful projects that accurately represent the stories of the Latinx and other underrepresented communities, scoring a three-year extension on her long-time deal with 20th Television to boot. She has developed a slew of podcasts in partnership with iHeart Media’s My Cultura Podcast Network, inclusive of “Connections with Eva Longoria,” launched in March 2022, “Supreme: The Battle for Roe,” which chronicles the landmark case and the courageous figures behind it, “Hungry for History” with Maite Gomez-Rejón, which explores the origins of some of the most delicious dishes, ingredients, and beverages from their culture, and “Sisters of the Underground,” launched in August 2022 alongside Dominican actress Dania Ramirez, which tells the true story of the Mirabal sisters’ courageous activism in the Dominican Republic. There is Poderistas, the digital lifestyle community and media platform that she launched in 2019; the Latino Media Network (LMN), a media company serving the Latino community, which she helped co-found in 2020; and her assignments to the board of trustees of The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures as well as the National Museum of the
18 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
American Latino by the Smithsonian Board of Regents, and to the board of directors at the Television Academy Foundation, all in 2021. As if that wasn’t enough, she also founded a stove-to-table cookware line, Risa, in collaboration with Heyday, and has invested in both Angel City FC, a female-driven soccer club founded by a mix of athletes, celebrities, and other businesswomen, and Club Necaxa, a Liga MC team based in Aguascalientes, Mexico. She has also served as a global brand ambassador for L’Oréal Paris for more than 15 years, has a shoe line with Eobuwie and Modivo that’s sold in Eastern Europe, and is a New York Times bestselling author thanks to her cookbook Eva’s Kitchen. All of this was born, of course, from her start as an actor. She’s starred in projects like Over Her Dead Body (2008), Frontera (2014), Telenovela (2015), Overboard (2018), and Tell It Like a Woman (2022). Next up: she’ll produce and star in both Land of Women for AppleTV+, a six-episode generational dramedy series inspired by Sandra Barneda’s best-selling novel of the same name that Longoria describes as “Under the Tuscan Sun meets Desperate Housewives,” and the small screen adaptation of Isabel Allende’s best-selling novel, The House of the Spirits; the film Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day; the Disney+ original series, from 20th Television, Paola Santiago and the River of Tears; and the HBO film A Class Apart, the true story of a group of Mexican Americans fighting for their civil rights during a landmark case that led all the way to the Supreme Court. These days, Longoria is also putting a career emphasis on directing, and has become equally as known and earned as much respect for her work behind the camera as she has in front of it. In 2022, she debuted the critically acclaimed documentary La Guerra Civil, which tells the story of boxers Oscar De La Hoya and Julio César Chávez, at the Sundance Film Festival, and in 2023, she made her feature directorial debut Flamin’ Hot, a Searchlight biopic about Flamin’ Hot Cheetos creator Richard Montañez. While she might have made this career transition look so, it was not easy. “When it comes to directing, I have a thousand percent been met with male resistance. Getting behind the camera is still a challenge for women,” she declares. “Just look at the statistics. There are so few women getting the actual jobs of directing, and they are obviously totally capable. If you look at the box office this past year, at female directed movies (like Barbie), we’ve proven ourselves over and over again. There is zero gender parity with women behind the camera, women in the Academy, women in the Directors Guild. It’s still an obstacle in our industry.” She’s aware that there is no easy solution to such discrimination, either. “I always say this: you’ve got to work twice as hard, twice as smart, and twice as cheap. I don’t mind doing that, because that’s my work ethic; I’m naturally a workhorse and have an amazing work ethic, taught to me by my parents. [In becoming a director in Hollywood], of course I knew this was going to be hard; I always assumed it would be. I don’t really think, Why is this so hard? Because any time you have a victim attitude, you don’t get that far in life. You just have to keep your head down and your feet moving forward. That’s the only way you’re going to make progress. And so, that’s what I do. I just keep moving, I keep going. And I have to be undeniable, but I should be undeniable in all of my projects.” Longoria is certainly a force to be reckoned with now, but she says she has always been this way — she was raised to be strong, smart, and to think for herself. “I come from a family of strong women, and so I’ve always had that model of independence and intelligence right in front of me. I didn’t have to look far for a role model when I was young. My mom, my sisters, my aunts, they were right there. They set the example of what women could do and what we are capable of — and I always knew I would do it, too.”
CASA DEL SOL, THE EXPRESSIONS
PHOTO COURTESY OF CASA DEL SOL
Blanco: The blanco was crafted to deliver the pure essence of agave with its smooth and complex body, complete with pleasant hints of fresh agave and mint and warmed by notes of spice and caramel green apple. Reposado: Reposado rests for a minimum of four months in select French oak and cognac barrels handcrafted with French limousin oak. The woody aroma evokes soft vanilla with hints of raisin and sweet tobacco. To taste, it has notes of wild honey, raisin, and butterscotch. Añejo: This tequila is matured for more than 14 months in the same barrel aging process. On the nose, it is elegant, sweet, and indulgent, with notes of dark cacao, dried fruit, toasted oak, and vanilla. With each sip, it tastes of toffee, apricot, oak, and chestnut. 11:11 Angel’s Reserve: This expression is an elegant blend of añejo and extra añejo aged in French oak and XO cognac barrels. Notes of honey, toffee, butterscotch, and dried fruit marry to create this soft, balanced tequila.
“I THINK ANY TIME YOU HAVE A VICTIM ATTITUDE, YOU DON’T GET THAT FAR IN LIFE. YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN AND YOUR FEET MOVING FORWARD. THAT’S THE ONLY WAY YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE PROGRESS. AND SO, THAT’S WHAT I DO. I JUST KEEP - EVA LONGORIA MOVING, I KEEP GOING.” Alejandra Pelayo serves as vice president of operations for Casa Del Sol tequila in Mexico, where she oversees all logistics, supply chain, vendor management, distillery integrations, and the brand’s growing network of female artisans, who hand sew each of Casa Del Sol’s signature vegan leather necks. What does it feel like to be a woman in a typically machista industry? Have you been met with any resistance? It has been an adventure that I feel very proud of. The industry, which has been historically dominated by men, is now changing little by little, but there is still so much to do. I am glad and confident that these changes will continue as women are given more opportunities to be involved in every part of the tequila production process and in the executive teams. About the resistance, yes, at the beginning we felt some, but I am happy that we have aligned our commercial and strategic relationships with people that share our vision and respect our work. What makes Casa Del Sol unique? How does Casa Del Sol stand out in a crowded space? From a liquid perspective, we age in cognac barrels, so the profile is very distinctive and our sustainable production methods are very important. From a brand perspective, I think our story is just amazing — it’s a beautiful love letter to Mexican tequila culture, and it also tells the legend of Mayahuel, a female goddess very important in tequila culture that not all consumers know about. It shows how the female role is so important in the industry. How did your relationship with the brand/Eva come to be? Did you know her before? If not, what was your initial thought versus your thought now? I always describe it as something magical. Of course, I knew Eva for her work in Hollywood, but also for her work supporting Latino and Mexican communities in the US. She is an amazing leader, always supporting women, and if she can do something to help someone, she does it without a doubt. With Casa Del Sol, she is very hands-on, supporting all areas of the business and even sometimes bartending when we are visiting and activating in markets. Can you share a personal story that applies to who Eva is as a person and your relationship with her? One time, she came to Guadalajara and Mariana and I had a small family party at the family’s hacienda de huaxtla so she could meet them. You know families in Mexico are big, so it was a “small party of 80.” I think it was just so nice of her that she wanted to meet our families. She took the time to talk to each of them and get to know them. Our family was very excited. How do you personally plan on making the brand grow? By continuing to work with our same values and work ethic, which have taken us where we are now. And by making this industry a better place for women — starting with our team. 20 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
Carmen Gonzalez has spent the last 15 years working across every major facet of tequila production. Prior to taking the helm at Casa Del Sol, she led innovation and product development for one of the best-selling global tequila brands. What does it feel like to be a woman in a typically machista industry? It has been a real challenge, which I have enjoyed very much. Since I started working in the tequila industry, I have had to make my way and I have gotten to where I am now because of my commitment to give my best. The challenge has been to get them to allow me to work in positions held by men, and to date, I am sure that no one has regretted it; my work has spoken for me. I have had setbacks from which I have sought to obtain the greatest learning and tools to take the next step forward. How does Casa Del Sol stand out in a crowded space? Casa Del Sol’s values are that women can do things that add something to the industry. Eva gives us opportunities in key positions. As co-founder, she is a very active, hard-working, and intelligent. Casa Del Sol offers a tequila that has been produced with the trust of women. What was your path to becoming a master distiller? I worked for more than five years with the most prolific tequila master in the industry. He was the mastermind, and that time has been one of the stages that I have learned the most at in my life. The perfect harmony between human warmth, professionalism, and knowledge was what I lived with this tequilero master. The team behind Casa Del Sol knew about me and about the experience I had for more than 15 years, and they gave me the confidence to monitor the quality of their products already on the market, as well the development of new products. I was so grateful for this gesture and excitedly accepted this great opportunity. How did your relationship with the brand/Eva come to be? Of course, I knew Eva and her work. I identify the Latin origin present in Hollywood and more so because of her son, who is proud to be Mexican. Knowing that Eva was part of the brand was one of the things that helped me decide to be part of the Casa Del Sol team. Can you share a personal story that applies to who Eva is as a person and your relationship with her? I remember that two weeks after I joined Casa Del Sol, I received a welcome gift directly from Eva at my home in Mexico. I felt really special. She is a very active woman, someone who inspires women like me who work and are moms, and who wake up every day with a lot of things to do. One time, we met to take a few photos and for a moment, I felt somewhat uncomfortable because it was so natural for her. I was inexperienced in that environment, pregnant, and I didn’t know what to do, and I told her, “Could the team leave me in the distillery, please?” We both laughed, but she assured me that my story and career accomplishments inspired others and deserved to be told. From there, everything started to flow amazingly.
Mariana Padilla, Carmen Gonzalez, Eva Longoria, and Alejandra Pelayo
Mariana is a Mexican-based artisan, entrepreneur, and the daughter of Paco Padilla, a cultural ambassador of Jalisco, Mexico. The Padilla family has deep roots in the history of the tequila industry, and Mariana grew up surrounded by the greatest Maestros Tequileros. As Casa Del Sol’s Artesana Tequilera, she brings generations of rich culture and heritage to the table. What does it feel like to be a woman in a typically machista industry? Have you been met with any resistance? Describe the situation if so. It feels like it is time to act as our position as women in this business is a natural thing that should have been happening a long time ago. It is inspiring to be a part of this change. What makes Casa Del Sol unique? How does the brand stand out in a crowded space? A lot of the tequila brands are very much the same — the brand is very masculine. We felt there was an opportunity to tell the story of Mayahuel
and be more of a luxury brand that honors the culture of Mexico but speaks to a global audience of today: highly digital and who craves experiences over possessions. How did your relationship with the brand/Eva come to be? Did you know her before? I met her through Casa Del Sol. We approached Eva to join us on this project because of the things she does to support Latinas and Mexican communities. It was very organic. Can you share a personal story that applies to who Eva is as a person and your relationship with her? I really feel a profound connection to Eva. We love to talk about how we are all connected in this universe and how we are meant to be working together on this project. We [believe that we were brought together for] a reason which, maybe comes from past lives. What is next for the brand? We want to continue to expand the stories of the artistry and beauty within Mexico. We can’t wait to share what we are working on. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 21

Hollywood has a new culinary gem in RDEN, a gorgeous new space in the iconic Taft Building, a stone’s throw away from the world-renowned Pantages Theatre and Hollywood Walk of Fame. This venue is a throwback to Hollywood’s Golden Age, which might be why so many stars — from David Beckham to Marc Anthony — have already become patrons. With its thoughtful seating, menu, and cocktails, its multi-level dining room, gorgeous outdoor patio, sleek omakase bar, and private dining room for even the most secretive of meals, there is something for everyone. The vast menu, courtesy of chef de cuisine Noe Olivera, follows suit, serving up items like Uni pasta, branzino, a 32 oz. tomahawk steak, sushi, sashimi, and abundant raw bar offerings (please make sure to order their signature hummus dip and spicy meatballs, which are unmissable). Head to the glamorous, vintage RDEN Bar for pre- and post-dinner drinks, where even the most discerning of palates will enjoy finely crafted libations such as the Signature Old Fashioned, with its custom-imprinted ice cubes and Walk of Fame cocktail, comprised of Tanqueray London Dry gin, crème de mûre, lemon, and Fever-Tree ginger beer. The gorgeous setting makes the experience even more magnificent, with a gorgeous marble bar underneath majestic chandeliers. The Taft Building, 6280 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, 90028
LADYHAWK
The Kimpton La Peer Hotel in West Hollywood quite literally has a top new chef in Charbel Hayek. The Top Chef star and Mélisse alum has officially opened the doors to his first-ever restaurant, Ladyhawk, a Middle Eastern/Mediterranean fusion with California flare. Signatures include the za’atar man’oushe, a fluffy flatbread in vibrant colors that represent the Lebanese flag, made with Lebanese wild thyme, olive oil, tomatoes, herbs, and labneh, as well as an olive crusted rack of lamb, comprised of unique ingredients such as garlic yogurt and dehydrated olives. The beverage menu is complemented by eye-catching craft cocktails like “Gibran’s Philosophy,” the rose based “Souq of Byblos,” and exotic Mediterranean wines inclusive of the famed Chateau Musar. The space suits the menu to a T: it’s lively and energetic, drawing inspiration from the earth with its warm, layered, and authentic design and rich tones of sumptuous leathers and warm woods. 623 La Peer Drive, West Hollywood, 90069

SUSHI NOTE OMAKASE
One of the most elevated new eateries in the City of Angels is Sushi Note Omakase, an intimate, elegant pairing experience nestled within the famed Rodeo Collection on Rodeo Drive. The 14-seat restaurant pays homage to quintessential Japanese sushi restaurants, unassumingly tucked away beneath the Collection. The concept’s design draws inspiration from Japan’s native plants and organic materials, with a bar top crafted from imported wood from Japanese Hinoki trees, a type of cypress that only grows in central Japan. Cherry blossom accents and dimly lit brass light fixtures add a modernyet-timeless touch to the space, which offers an upscale, curated program that takes guests on a 20-course journey imagined by celebrated head sushi chef, Kiminobu Saito, and his mentee, chef Earl Aguilar. This high-end omakase offering melds premium, imported Japanese market fish with cutting edge and traditional preparation techniques, as well as an optional wine pairing, highlighted by the likes of Domaine Marcel Deiss’ Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Blanc “Schlossberg,” Peter Veyder-Malberg’s Grüner Veltliner “Wösendorfer Hochrain,” and Domaine Roulot Meursault 1er Cru “Clos Des Boucheres” Monopole, plus a selection of premium sakes. 421 N Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills, 90210

Welcome to the Dark Side In a nod to history and the epic Apollo 8 mission of 1968, Omega unveils its latest masterpiece, the Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
PHOTOS COURTESY OF OMEGA
THE APOLLO 8 MISSION MARKED A PIVOTAL MOMENT AS THE FIRST
human flight to orbit the Moon, and Omega watches were a crucial part of this historic journey. Now, in 2024, Omega pays tribute to this remarkable story with the new Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon, a timepiece crafted with cutting-edge technology and intricate dial detailing. Omega first introduced the Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8 edition in 2018 to commemorate the mission’s 50th anniversary. For its latest rendition, the brand has elevated the design to new heights, focusing on intricate details and ultimate refinement. The watch features the Caliber 3869 movement and is adorned with a laser-ablated Moon relief on the blackened main plate and bridges. This movement beautifully captures the dual nature of the Moon, with one side representing the lunar surface as seen from the Earth and the other showcasing the enigmatic dark side — a view reserved exclusively for astronauts. Omega’s latest update enhances the Moon’s definition, achieved through laser engraving and contrasting surfaces. Impressively, the manual-winding Caliber 3869 has achieved the Co-Axial Master
Chronometer standard, setting a new benchmark in Swiss precision, chronometric performance, and magnetic resistance. The Moon-themed movement is visible through the watch’s skeletonized black anodized aluminum dial. Omega’s attention to detail extends to the 44.25 mm case, the polished bezel, and the caseback, which are all crafted from separate pieces of black ceramic. The tachymeter scale is meticulously filled with bright white “Grand Feu” enamel. Adding a touch of vibrancy, the central chronograph seconds hand is varnished yellow, a theme echoed in the watch’s perforated strap made from black rubber with a yellow interior. A novel addition is the patent-pending small-seconds hand at nine o’clock, expertly engineered from Titanium Grade 5 and shaped like the NASA’s iconic Saturn V rocket. This 3D structure is created through laser turning and enriched with white varnish, ablation, and laser blackening techniques — a small yet inspiring tribute to the triumph of the Apollo program. The caseback bears a series of poignant engravings, including “WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE,” the final words spoken to ground control by command module pilot Jim Lovell, just before Apollo 8 ventured to the far side of the Moon, entering radio silence for the very first time. The enigmatic surface of the Moon has always fascinated and intrigued humanity, positioning itself as a key inspiration within the Omega brand and its unwavering dedication to space exploration. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 35

January that Frédéric Arnault would be stepping into a new role as CEO of LVMH Watches. He previously spent seven years at TAG Heuer, where he led the brand for four years as CEO. In addition to this strategic move, several significant internal appointments have been announced, signaling a new era for some of the most iconic LVMH watch brands. In his capacity as CEO, Arnault will oversee LVMH’s three prestigious watch brands, Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith. With a remarkable track record in driving transformation and growth at TAG Heuer, he sure is equipped for his new role. He led key moments for the brand, such as the New York flagship opening and the innovations brought to the iconic Carrera timepiece. Within this change at the top of the LVMH Watch & Jewelry chain, there is a domino effect. Julien Tornare, who has been Zenith’s CEO since 2017, is set to take charge as CEO of TAG Heuer. With extensive experience within the LVMH Group and a strong background in the watchmaking industry, Tornare is expected to further elevate the Maison’s iconic collections. At Zenith, the CEO position vacated by Tornare will be held by Benoit de Clerck. He brings 25 years of invaluable experience within the watchmaking industry, including a distinguished career within the Richemont Group, making him well-suited to develop Zenith’s legacy of innovation and excellence. These changes will harness the strengths and experiences of each leader to drive growth and innovation within their respective brands. Stéphane Bianchi, the CEO of LVMH Watches & Jewelry, expressed confidence in these appointments. He highlighted Arnault’s disruptive vision, Tornare’s entrepreneurial spirit, and de Clerck’s deep watchmaking expertise, setting the tone for 2024 and the future of watchmaking within LVMH.

Sports Supremo A Haute look at the F.P.Journe Chronographe Rattrapante in titanium. BY ADRIENNE FAUROT
PHOTOS COURTESY OF F.P.JOURNE
THE F.P.JOURNE LINESPORT COLLECTION IS ONE OF THE ULTIMATE
sports watch collections in the industry. It blends a sporty esthetic with the premium craftsmanship of the brand’s haute horology into a collection that is modern and cool. A Haute Time favorite from the collection, the Chronographe Rattrapante in titanium grade 5 (though available in three other models as well: one other titanium grade 5, one in 18-karat 6N gold, and one platinum PT950), is the epitome of F.P.Journe’s mastery of sports watches. At the heart of the Chronographe Rattrapante lies a meticulously crafted 44 mm diameter case, with a slim profile of just 12.1 mm. Within this case, the monopoussoir split-second chronograph movement takes center stage. This movement features a very large date display, an innovation that enhances both functionality and readability. In the titanium version, the date mechanism is crafted from aluminum alloy, while the 18-karat 6N gold and platinum versions boast a date mechanism made from 18-karat rose gold, adding a luxurious touch. One of the standout features of the Chronographe Rattrapante is its power reserve, which lasts a staggering 80 hours. This extended power reserve ensures that the chronograph remains operational even after two full days, allowing you to make the most of its rattrapante function. The date window itself measures 5.20 x 2.80 mm, providing increased legibility, optimal for sports timepieces.
For this titanium timepiece, the dial features an aluminum alloy in either yellow or slate grey, adorned with luminescent applied numerals. The two chronograph counters are meticulously engraved in sapphire, enhancing both the watch’s overall sophisticated design and its functionality. Luminescent hour and minute hands ensure optimal readability. The tachymetric bezel, inlaid with ceramic, adds a sporty touch, while the new typographic numeral pays homage to the exquisite 2017 Only Watch timepiece. Despite its complexity and craftsmanship, the F.P.Journe Chronographe Rattrapante is incredibly lightweight and comfortable to sport. At the heart of the timepiece lies the Caliber 1518 with manual winding, conceived by F.P.Journe. This new movement features a direct gearing chronograph with a rocking pinion, eliminating the jump of the hand at the start — a notable advancement in precision timekeeping. The integration of the very large date, a signature of the F.P.Journe brand, required meticulous engineering to maintain a total height of only 6.80 mm. The movement’s finishings are on full display through a transparent sapphire back, showcasing the undeniable qualities of F.P.Journe haute horology. With the Chronographe Rattrapante, the brand continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking, asserting itself as the leader in the industry. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 37
Haute Spotting The sleekest timepieces spotted on this awards season’s red carpets. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
THE 2024 AWARDS SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY COMMENCED, AND OUR EYES HAVE BEEN
on one thing only: watches. Each year, red carpets set the tone for the horological year ahead, revealing the new, renewed, and steady relationships between Maisons and actors. Here, we reveal some of our favorite timepieces spotted at the Golden Globe Awards, from Vacheron Constantin to Cartier, and more.
SIMU LIU IN VACHERON CONSTANTIN
Barbie star Simu Liu was seen wearing the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date in pink gold. The timepiece showcases a unique blend of retrograde hand-type day and date display, drawing inspiration from 1950s design esthetics. The dial’s hour markers and hands gracefully follow its contours, while the sunburst satin finish of the blue-colored dial adds a touch of elegance. Additionally, a “circular-pearl” minute-track on the dial enhances its light-reflecting qualities.
TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET IN CARTIER
Wonka lead — and global obsession — Timothée Chalamet wore the Cartier Crash in 18-karat white gold, adorned with 149 brilliant-cut diamonds, featuring a beaded crown set with another brilliant-cut diamond, with a combined weight of 2.15 carats. The bracelet, also in rhodium-finish 18-karat white gold, is embellished with 321 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling 2.12 carats, and designed for a wrist size of 170 mm. The timepiece showcases a silvered opaline dial with a sunray effect, complemented by sword-shaped hands in blued steel and protected by a mineral crystal.

2023 Maserati MC20 The return of the Trident’s Edge MASERATI WAS FOUNDED IN 1914 — LONG BEFORE MANY OF ITS
eventual competitors, such as Jaguar, Ferrari, Porsche, and certainly Lamborghini — and its roots are with great racing machines and sports cars released through the 1960s. In fact, their “Tipo 61,” which became known as the “Maserati Birdcage” due to its beautiful tubular space frame, was one of the most desirable cars from that era (1959-1961), and the few remaining (less than 25 were constructed) are worth millions of dollars. I had the pleasure of seeing one, with the body off, and it’s truly a magnificent work of art. However, apart from the very capable Gran Turismo (GT), which was manufactured from 2007 to 2019, most Masers offered in the United States in recent years have been two- and four-door sedans. And when SUVs arrived, there wasn’t a sports car in the lineup for many years. Maserati did create a cousin of the Enzo in 2004, called the MC12, but that model was only made for a few years, and a total of just 62 were built. Its main purpose was to qualify a racing variant of the car for the FIA GT Championship (the racing league required a certain number of road-going variants to be produced in order for the model to be able to participate). 40 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com
From 1997 to 2005, Maserati and Ferrari had common ownership, and one of Maserati’s selling points was that its vehicles were powered by Ferrari engines. And while the Quattroporte luxury sedan was a big seller, especially starting with the 2014 Quattroporte VI, it seemed like the Maserati spirit of racing cars was lost in a world of sedans. But then, in 2020, the MC20 debuted. Maserati hailed the model as its “Super Sports Car” — and I, like many car aficionados, couldn’t have been more pleased. (The name came from “Maserati Corse” [Racing Maserati] and the “20” was for the year 2020.) I first saw that beautiful sports car at Pebble Beach during Monterey Car Week that same year, at the Maserati House, and though it was on static display, the car looked to be in motion. With a gorgeous, light-blue body, the MC20 looked amazing. It would be another several months before I was lucky enough to borrow one for a multi-day loan, and it certainly was worth the wait! This two-seater coupe with a rear midengine is a race car for the street and was built to combine gorgeous Italian looks with an engine that was designed after those in Formula 1 cars. “My” MC20 was liveried in an optional misty color called “Bianco Audace” — an off-white exterior with a black and gray interior.

car was $212,000, but someone with good (and expensive) taste ordered it with a boatload (or shall I say “barchetta load”) of add-ons, such as the custom matte paint ($14,000); carbon ceramic brakes ($10,000); a black roof ($4,000); carbon fiber here, there, and everywhere (more than $50,000); a racing interior ($2,500); racing seats ($7,000); and more — bringing the total (before tax and license) to over $315,000. I liked all the choices and didn’t find one that I would have excluded. Driving the car was a real treat, too. Maserati created the engine this time (code-named “Nettuno”) rather than sourcing a Ferrari option. The MC20 sports a V6 twin turbo engine with 3,000 cubic inches, producing 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, which is enough oomph to rocket this 3,306-pound car from zero to 60 mph in under three seconds, on the way to a top speed north of 200 mph. And did I mention the 8,000 RPM redline, which emits a wonderful scream at full throttle? I liked driving the MC20 as it was a great blend of performance and comfort. Entry and exit were effortless (which is not always the case with butterfly dihedral doors like these), with no compromise to the ergonomics of driving to achieve great looks and performance. The handling was exact as well and had both the tightness of a sports car in the twisties and a supple, compliant ride on the straights. Although the engine sounded amazing at full honk, there was ample power to move with alacrity at less than full throttle so that the car could easily be driven at normal (that is, legal) speeds with much less sound and fury. The seats in mine were the monocoque racing seats, but I still found them both comfortable and supportive. The eight-speed transmission was sharp and smooth-shifting but also shifted swiftly upon hard acceleration. The MC20 only is available with a paddle shift; like many modern performance cars, it’s not available with a stick shift transmission. Rearward visibility is terrific, thanks to a video monitor fed by a camera at the rear — a nice touch as the camera’s wide angle is far more effective than a traditional rear-view mirror, especially when a car (as is the case with the MC20) has a constrained “natural” view. In the calmest of the three driving modes (GT), the MC20 seems somewhat sedate, but jump up to Sport or Corsa (the latter being my preferred modus operandi), and you get the Italian aria befitting a car of its stature. I love its song! My time with the MC20 was too short, but I will be borrowing the MC20 Cielo (convertible version), and who knows, I might be among the first to experience the all-electric version of the MC20, which Maserati has promised soon, or even the MCXtreme, the full-race, track-only variant of the MC20, which I saw unveiled at The Quail in August (all 62 units have been sold). Whatever top or motor your MC20 has, you’re sure to have an enjoyable time. @hauteauto HAUTE LIVING 41
AMAZING ASIA From Hong Kong to Singapore and beyond, here are the places to stay and play in Asia BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
HONG KONG
REGENT HONG KONG
The Regent Hong Kong, a former icon in Kowloon, has returned to its former glory in a major way following a two-year, top-to-tails renovation. This haute hotel, with the glittering and glorious Victoria Harbour as its backdrop, is guaranteed to be a must-visit destination for the jet set amidst landmarks like K11 MUSEA, Avenue of Stars, City Art Square, and the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Native designer Chi Wing Lo has managed to seamlessly blend the city’s historical past with its innovative present via a rich tapestry of 368 rooms and 129 suites, as well as gentle references throughout the property, balancing tactile natural materials. An iconic white marble staircase, resembling a miniature waterfall, and the grandeur of the classic design set the stage for a magnificent experience, transforming even the smallest of details into a study of the city’s past. And while guests may appreciate this insight into the past, they’ll fully love its modern, endlessly epicurean present. One of the world’s finest Chinese restaurants specializing in Cantonese cuisine, Lai Ching Heen (previously known as Yan Toh Heen), brings black pearl diamonds and two Michelin star fare back to the hotel. The Steak House presents curated selections of the finest meats from pristine farms around the world, while Harbourside’s immersive buffet experience of global cuisine transports guests to the world’s best local markets. There’s even a Nobu here, which says it all: proprietor Nobu Matsuhisa’s name is synonymous with cutting edge Japanese cuisine and a sexy party vibe worldwide. Which means, of course, like everything else on site, Regent Hong Kong defines ‘best of the best.’ Additionally, the hotel’s Regent Club opened in September, offering guests an exclusive, light-filled private sanctuary, designed in an elevated way, like the bridge of a cruise ship. Here, afternoon tea and evening cocktails are offered quietly and discreetly, with postcard perfect views of the harbor, underneath a dazzling array of lights meant to simulate those which dance around and reflect the vibrant waterfront every evening set to “A Symphony of Lights,” focusing the viewer’s eye on the iconic cityscape. Speaking of iconic views, well, there isn’t one better than from the property’s crowning jewel: the presidential suite. This state-of-the-art, 7,000-square-foot duplex has its own private terrace and infinity swimming pool, five bedrooms, a dining room, tearoom, private gym, rainforest shower and whirlpool bathtub, private sauna, and steam room. The reopening of the rest of the reimagined hotel’s new hallmarks, such as the spa and additional rooms, will continue to be rolled out in the coming months. 18 Salisbury Road Regent, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong

JAPAN
There are very few places in the world that are more traditional or distinctive than Kyoto, and at HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa, those traditional elements are adhered to respectfully and perfectly, creating an incredibly authentic experience. The Mitsui Fudosan Group’s flagship is located right in the heart of Kyoto, directly opposite UNESCO World Heritage site Nijō Castle, the Kyoto residence of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo Period, across Horikawa-dori. This 75,000-square-foot property was the former home of the Mitsui family for over 250 years, which is reflected in its current reincarnation of 160 guest rooms — because what makes this hotel such a standout is its sense of history. There are quiet Japanese gardens set among lily ponds, tiny wooden bridges, and water features, visible from many of the guest rooms, as well as a subterranean natural hot spring in the THERMAL SPRING SPA. There are even two private onsens for a decadent experience (best enjoyed whilst nibbling on caviar and sipping champagne, in my humble opinion). The culinary concepts echo the wonders found throughout the property. At TOKI, a mix of Japanese and French cuisine is perfectly prepared item by item on a long, teppan-brushed steel counter. That the highest-quality Matsusaka wagyu beef found anywhere in Japan is served here is no accident: Mie Prefecture — the current home of the Mitsui family — is the source of said meat. At Italian eatery FORNI, guests can experience all the 24 distinct terms of the solar calendar through flavorful dishes made from the freshest Italian and locally-sourced Kyoto ingredients (many of which are prepared on an okudo-san — a traditional Japanese kamado-style cooking range — reimagined as an oven for pizzas and oven-roasted dishes). Visible from all seating locations, the garden at FORNI reflects the seasons. There is also THE GARDEN BAR, which serves up both local and global liquor-forward libations, as well as SHIKI-NO-MA, a private space created from reconstructed Japanese cypress, a private dining space where — among other experiences — some of the last remaining Kyoto geisha or geikos (traditional Japanese female entertainers) treat guests to a dance, a lingering look at an ancient art form of yesteryear.

AMAN TOKYO

Aman Tokyo doesn’t have to shout how great it is: this stunner need only whisper, and it will catch the wind. Aman’s first urban concept hotel is a true oasis, set high above the Japanese capital, offering dramatic panoramic views of the Imperial Palace Gardens and neighboring Ginza shopping district. The Otemachi Forest, a meticulously created natural oasis at the foot of the hotel, is brought inside through natural materials, earthy bamboo, and traditional Japanese design elements like washi paper, stone, and large ofuro soaking tubs, found in all 84 suites. This design aesthetic is most visibly apparent in the property’s masterpiece of a lobby, where an engawa — a wooden detail seen in traditional Japanese residences that divides the inside and out — impressively soars nearly 100 feet high. It’s a city hotel to be sure, a beautiful respite for business travelers that offers a plethora of quiet and calm experiences throughout the stay, from an ethereally elegant afternoon tea at the beautiful Japanese-style garden Lounge by Aman to the lovely spa. There’s also enough on-site dining to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters, from Aman’s Italian staple Arva, which offers views of Mt. Fuji and houses a two-story, glass-fronted wine cellar; and Musashi by Aman, a fine dining experience where traditional Edomae-style sushi is served.

PAN PACIFIC ORCHARD

Pan Pacific Orchard is one of the most majestic new hotels in Asia due in part to its dramatic foliage that brings the outside in. In fact, over 300 percent of the hotel’s land area is comprised of greenery, thanks to the stylings of award-winning designers WOHA Architects, with four interconnected, nature-driven sky terraces: Forest, Beach, Garden, and Cloud. Dramatic, nearly 400-foot green columns tower through the terraces, creating a spectacle of thriving flora. Mirrored ceilings reflect each unique landscape, from the sparkling pools of Beach Terrace to the manicured lawns of Garden Terrace, while open-air spaces welcome abundant fresh breeze and natural daylight for exquisite alfresco experiences. It’s no surprise that this 347-room hotel is as green as they come, with a slew of sustainability features inclusive of renewable solar panel technology, an in-room filtered water system, and a bio-digester system that transforms food waste into cleaning water. But make no mistake: this is still a luxury hotel, and one that’s complemented by the crème de la crème of concepts to boot. These include Mediterranean-meets-Peruvian eatery Mosella, which overlooks the greenery of Forest Terrace, and Garden Terrace hot spot Florette, which features one of the city’s best champagne lists — from growers to rare vintages and the classics — perfectly paired with the season’s freshest oysters; as well as The Chairman’s Lounge, which is overseen by famed Chinese chef Leung Wing Cheung. The property has also joined forces with Singapore’s Orchard Gin to create their own, supremely elegant libation. Soon, the property will launch Atelier-in-Residence, a program developed to welcome limitededition, made-in-Singapore brands. 10 Claymore Rd, Singapore 229540
SOUTH KOREA
Gangnam-style is a thing, and there isn’t one hotel in Seoul, the K-Beauty capital of the world, that embodies this more so than the Signiel Seoul. Located atop the 1,821-foot LOTTE World Tower, the sixth tallest building in the world and Korea’s largest, this stunner can literally be likened to the very height of extreme luxury. The hotel feels different from other luxury properties. While many of America’s wealthiest get away with lowslung baseball caps and artfully disheveled, unbuttoned designer coats, the guests here look like they’d be right at home on a runway (or at least sitting front row). Signiel (a composite of the words “signature” and “LOTTE”) is the group’s most premium offering, clearly, even winning the Grand Prix of the Best Grand Hotel in the World at the 2022 Villegiature Awards. This is obvious in every possible way, from its signatures restaurants, STAY by Michelin three-star chef Yannick Alléno, and 1 Michelin star Korean eatery, Bicena (becoming the only hotel in Korea to have two Michelin starred restaurants at the same time), to its Rolls-Royce house car and upscale sky bar, Bar 81, which, with 80 different brands, hosts the largest champagne collection in South Korea. The hotel also has its very own wine, La Tour D’Arche Signiel Margaux, from Bordeaux, and a collection of 235 rooms and suites, the largest of which, the Royal Suite, at over 3,800 square feet, has its own jacuzzi and secretary room. There’s also a pool, sauna, and fitness center with panoramic sky views, and the Retreat Signiel, a top-notch K-Spa, which has its own tea and oil ateliers. Can you see now why it was named the very best? 300 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Regent Phu Quoc, one of the newest hotels in the tony Regent portfolio, is one of the most self-contained of the group’s properties. Located off the southwest coast of Vietnam and set alongside a UNESCO-designated World Biosphere Reserve in the country’s largest island of Phú Quốc, this all-suites-and-villas resort takes barefoot luxury to an entirely new level. Its thoughtful, carefree, home-awayfrom-home (but better) aesthetic was brought to life by BLINK Design Group, which created a resort experience, highlighted by unobstructed views of sparkling sea from every angle via expansive windows and verandas that invite natural light. Here, there are 302 suites and villas, our favorite type of which features private infinity pools that soar above the sultry skyline. There are some incredible dining options throughout, and an equally impressive spa, all surrounded by vast schools of Koi fish (as well as daily complimentary yoga on the rooftop and indoor and outdoor yoga pavilions or, for a bonus, a personal holistic wellness coach). But it’s the extras here that make this jungle-like resort the one to beat. There’s ‘Bath Hour’ on offer from the privacy of the Oasis bathrooms; access to Serenity, the resort’s personal yacht (as a side note, it is the only resort in the area to offer this kind of upscale amenity); and the totally wild, private dining experience that is Taste Gallery, where the resort’s six restaurants and bars converge to create a totally unique, art-focused, creative, immersive experience that is spearheaded by the property’s head chef, Bruno Anon. It’s truly unmissable. Bai Truong, Dương Tơ, Phú Quốc, Kiên Giang 92509, Vietnam

ANANTARA KOH YAO YAI RESORT
Luxury-based hotel group Anantara, responsible for creating high-end luxury hideaways across Asia, has opened one of its latest and greatest efforts in Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas, a secluded oasis located on an untouched island in the middle of Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay. Once a coconut palm plantation, the 27-acre site is situated between a wooded hill and a turquoise bay dotted with jungle-clad limestone islets that dot the horizon. Unfolding over a mile of golden beach, this new luxury resort is the height of tranquility, spaciousness, and luxury, just a 35-minute boat ride from Phuket and 20 minutes from Krabi. From the moment travelers arrive at the resort’s private jetty, they are immersed in the atmosphere of exclusivity and luxury, highlighted by a sprawling green lawn, a shaded swimming pool, and a golden beach. Here, there are 148 classically designed suites, villas, and penthouses, our favorite of which are the eight butler-attended sea view pool penthouses. At 3,939 square feet, these behemoths feature living and dining rooms, kitchens, master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms featuring two skylight-lit rain showers, infinityedge pools, sundecks with daybeds, and covered cabanas for alfresco dining. [However, there is only one that comes with a glass bottom infinity pool, seen from the living space below.] This is a true getaway, where every accommodation is made, and every possible convenience is offered. This means a slew of culinary concepts, inclusive of surf and turf eatery Beach Restaurant, traditional Thai spot Pakarang, and the appropriately named Japanese Restaurant. Plus, via Dining by Design, with only a private chef and butler present, guests can enjoy a gourmet picnic on an island sandbank, a romantic dinner cruise, or a champagne celebration in complete privacy. This is a common theme here indeed, given that Koh Yao Yai is still wonderfully undeveloped and devoid of mass tourism, offering an enriching journey for foodies, nature lovers, yogis, and marine enthusiasts alike. Inspirational and immersive excursions are also offered, such as vintage sidecar tours to a rubber plantation; batik-making, tie-dye classes; mountain climbing;scuba diving;and off-the-beaten-track adventures to tranquil Hong Island, where one can drift along mangrove canals in a kayak as native Hornbill birds soar above. On property, guests can also indulge via spa time at one of the several hydropools and hammams. 88, 8, Koh Yao Yai, Ko Yao District, Phang-nga 82160, Thailand

When Pharrell Williams was appointed creative director after Virgil Abloh, the fashion industry knew he would have large shoes to fill. But if anyone could do it, it would be Williams. With three Louis Vuitton Men’s collections now under his belt, Williams has established a clear vision for the brand. Just like Abloh, he is mixing different cultures and traditions with the original Vuitton spirit while dipping into the brand’s incredible archives and history to create contemporary masterpieces — the Pharrell way, of course. Williams’ first collection — for Spring-Summer 2024 — was a key moment for the Maison. He transformed the brand’s LV initials to introduce “LVERS,” a state of mind founded in warmth, wellbeing, and welcomeness that became the collection’s motto, and is set to define Williams as creative director. The designer shut down the iconic Pont Neuf in Paris on a June summer night last year to release Louis Vuitton’s Spring-Summer 2024 Men’s Collection, attracting a global crowd. With the collection now hitting stores, the brand has unveiled a unique global retail experience with a series of captivating store concepts and activations. Spanning over 50 locations worldwide over the next few months, the installations embody the evolution of Williams’ vision and are all inspired by the “LVERS” philosophy that celebrates Louis Vuitton as a diverse global community united by a shared love for creativity and craftsmanship. From London to New York, the brand is introducing pop-ins, pop-ups, “residencies,” and special events featuring DJs and more. Raising the bar higher, guests who visit the spaces will also receive limited-edition carrier bags with every purchase, adorned with the collection’s pixelated “Damoflage” motif and “LVERS” logo. Expect to see stores and temporary spaces across the globe embody the expressions of the golden Damier checkers. They will pay homage to the architecture of each location and welcome two concepts around the idea of the sun being a universal source of opportunity and energy. From miniatures to on-screen life-sized holograms, guests will be immersed in a world of proportions and perspectives. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 63

In London, Selfridges has undergone a striking transformation as it welcomes a takeover of 16 windows dedicated to Williams’ thought-provoking question: “What will you do when the sun shines on you?” The Louis Vuitton “LVERS” experience at Selfridges introduces a reimagined Pont Neuf bridge constructed from 3D cubes, artfully echoing the “Damoflage” pattern. Mannequins dressed in show-stopping looks grace the floor, which is adorned with golden “Damier” checkers, effectively transporting visitors to the iconic Pont Neuf. Meanwhile, the Louis Vuitton Champs-Élysées residency, dubbed “Ephemère,” stands as another exceptional testament to the Pharrell phenom, immersing guests in the wonderful world of Vuitton from the moment they step in, with the entrance encircled in golden “Damier” pixels mimicking the rays of the sun. With interactive experiences and a dedicated “dandy club” celebrating the collection’s devotion to dandy dressing, the space immerses guests in a world where fashion meets art. And in true Parisian fashion, the residency is home to a secret Speedy Room for clients to discover Williams’ new release of the Maison’s iconic bag.

Stateside, Louis Vuitton welcomes two ephemeral boutiques in SoHo, New York, and West Hollywood, Los Angeles. In the heart of SoHo, you’ll find an exclusive pop-up store with two distinct storefronts. Inside, it showcases the entire Louis Vuitton Men’s universe, offering a curated assortment inclusive of accessories, jewelry, leather goods, luggage, ready-to-wear, shoes, and trunks from Williams’ debut collection. Open now through mid-March, and with a second drop on February 8, this pop-up store serves as the exclusive East Coast destination for the Men’s Spring/ Summer 2024 collection. The space draws inspiration from the inaugural Pont Neuf show, featuring opulent interiors adorned with shimmering gold accents, Parisian-style streetlamps, and architectural details reminiscent of the historic bridge. A checkered floor pays homage to the Maison’s classic 19th-century “Damier” pattern. A second location — accessible by appointment only — offers a oneof-a-kind experience, where a miniaturized Paris conceals a secret room displaying brilliantly colored leather Speedy bags. Similar to SoHo, West Hollywood will also be home to a brand-new pop-up haven that will host two different drops before unveiling the complete Louis Vuitton Men’s collections mid-March. For an exclusive touch, the pop-up features a hidden room concealed behind a colossal bookcase accessible only through the pull of the correct volume, and showcases the same Speedy bags as in New York, this time seemingly suspended in the darkness and illuminated by spotlights. The pop-up presents bespoke pieces like the Palace slipper and the Footprint low boot, curated specifically for the space. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 67

There’s no doubt the focal point of Williams’ debut collection is the reintroduction of the Speedy bag — and it’s now the hero of these new ephemeral spaces. A brief history: the Speedy, originally conceived by Gaston-Louis Vuitton in 1930 as the “Express,” paying homage to the era’s fascination with speed and automobiles, has a storied history of evolution. In 1959, it underwent a transformative journey when introduced in a supple Monogram canvas, solidifying its status as a must-have fashion accessory. With the addition of a safety lock, the travel bag seamlessly transitioned into the realm of city fashion. However, it was Audrey Hepburn who catapulted the Speedy to “It” bag fame in 1965, personally requesting a smaller version to suit her petite frame. Since then, the Speedy has remained a timeless Louis Vuitton signature, continuously reimagined by various creatives. Williams has breathed new life into the Speedy, infusing it with the spirit of lower Manhattan’s Canal Street. Offered in a vibrant primary color palette, the Speedy is bound to become (again) the it bag to have.

CIERTO TEQUILA HOSTED AN EXCLUSIVE EVENT ON NOVEMBER 9
to unveil the much-anticipated Cierto Tequila Oasis at the Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort. The event marked the highly acclaimed tequila brand’s introduction to the Arizona market. Guests were treated to an immersive experience in a custom-built pergola adjacent to Renata’s Hearth, the resort’s Latin-inspired dining venue. During the event, guests snapped photos in front of vignettes inspired by the Arizona desert and the Jaliscan Highlands, where Cierto cultivates the estate-grown agave it uses to craft its tequila. The Cierto Tequila Oasis served sips of tequila neat and on the rocks, in addition to unique signature cocktails such as the “Cantarito” (made with Cierto Tequila Private Collection Blanco) and the “Reposado Old Fashioned” (made with Cierto Tequila Private Collection Reposado). The evening welcomed music by DJ CeCe and gourmet food dishes from Renata’s Hearth paired with Cierto Tequila Private Collection Blanco, Cierto Tequila Private Collection Reposado, and Cierto Tequila Private Collection Añejo. Ami-Lynn Bakshi, CEO of Elevated Spirits (the producer of Cierto Tequila), and Michael Hoffmann, managing director of Arizona Biltmore, led a toast celebrating the opening of the unique space.
