STORY THE NEVERENDING

HARDWELL GOT HIS START AT MIAMI’S ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL, AND NOW HE’S CLOSING ITS 25 TH ANNIVERSARY. HERE, HE DISCUSSES HIS FULL-CIRCLE JOURNEY.

PHOTOGRAPHY GERARD HENNIGER

Hardwell is coming out of hibernation.

The 37-year-old Dutch DJ makes this declaration, looking anything but sleepy, during our chat from his studio in his Netherlands hometown of Breda on a late January afternoon. Each year since coming out of his selfimposed four-year sabbatical in 2022, he uses the winter months to work, work, work, preparing for the festival season to come. And this year, he’s had his nose particularly close to the grindstone for a reason: not only is he the closing DJ for Ultra Music Festival’s 25th anniversary in Miami, but it’s also a major full circle moment in his own career given that it was at Ultra Miami that he made his debut.

Hardwell — né Robbert van de Corput — was just 21 in 2012 when he debuted his tectonic tune “Spaceman” on the Ultra Miami stage, making not only a name for himself, but a major impact on the music industry to boot. With its buzzing, chainsaw-like synths, the tune is considered to be one of the most popular big room house tracks of all time. His first time on that stage — also his first trip to America — was such a momentous occurrence in his career that he can recall it with vivid detail, as if it were yesterday.

“It was transformative,” he admits. “I had never experienced any other EDM festivals or clubs outside of Europe at the time, so it felt completely different. That was just before the EDM bubble exploded and dance music was all over the States.”

He refers me to an interview he did with the Ultra team immediately after taking the stage for the first time. He was a kid, flushed, sweaty, beaming with joy, speechless with emotion. Looking back at that first set, and seeing how palpable his excitement was, is pretty wild for Hardwell. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed, how far he’s come, and how he’s very much still doing exactly what he set out to do — something he loves. “They interviewed me as one of the new, up-and-coming guys, and not even two years later, I became the number one DJ in the world,” he marvels. “It’s super funny to see the whole rise of Ultra and my own career.”

Hardwell has ridden that wave like a pro since said career-defining set, being named the world’s top DJ not once, but twice; headlining not just worldwide Ultra festivals in destinations like Japan, Australia, Bali, Taiwan, Peru, Chile, and across Europe, but also festivals like EDC Las Vegas, Electric Zoo Festival, and Pacha NYC, among others. He’s had residencies at major Las Vegas night and day clubs like Hakkasan, Wet Republic, and Omnia; sold out Madison Square Garden with his 2013-14 I Am Hardwell tour; is an innovator in tech, becoming the first DJ to launch a Facebook Messenger bot, and then later, repeating this with his own WhatsApp Bot; was the first DJ to premiere new music via the music mobile app Shazam; and, more recently, partnered with Apple to launch his first Producer Pack, a sample pack for producers which aims to inspire aspiring artists and producers and enhance their musical creativity and skills. He has also become known as a philanthropist thanks to his World’s Biggest Guestlist concerts, which have funded the education of over 120,000 children in India.

But if Hardwell had to pinpoint one moment in his career trajectory that he feels has made the most impact, it would be this particular festival. Twenty-twelve was his debut, but the following year was “the set that changed everything,” a turning point that solidified his reputation as a headliner and house music visionary. That year, his mainstage set became one of the most-watched in festival history, with over 35 million views on YouTube. It even famously crashed the Ultra livestream servers and saw Hardwell trending worldwide on Twitter (which also helped him take home that #1 DJ title later that same year).

As such, he has used the festival as a place to debut new music and reinvent himself time and time again. It is where he showcased the peak of big-room house in 2015, premiering tracks from his debut album United We Are; where he did a 360-degree livestream of his set during a party for his label, Revealed Recordings, at Nikki Beach in 2016; and where, in 2018, his performance achieved a staggering 1.6 million views in less than two weeks.

This year will be slightly different in that it showcases a signficant moment in his personal story. The ante has to be upped, so to speak, given that it’s the 25th anniversary of the festival, and he’s been given the major responsibility of closing it. But there’s no stress here; for Hardwell, heading to and headling Ultra is like “coming home.” He’s ready.

“I’ve been spending a lot of time in the studio, day in and day out, preparing for this, and I have a lot of stuff planned for this year, actually,” he admits. “I have a lot of new music from my label, and I’m creating a lot of new edits. Basically, 80 or 90 percent of the set is music I’ve never played out anywhere before — including my new single, “Sanctuary.””

He notes that, while it’s always nerve-wracking to debut new music, it’s also one of the most rewarding parts of his career. “At the end of the day, I’m still a DJ and have to educate the crowd with new stuff, which is actually one of the best parts of my job.”

It’s also not unfamiliar territory. After taking a self-imposed sabbatical from 2018 to 2022, Hardwell made his grand return to music at Ultra Miami, and for the first time ever, played nothing but new music. He didn’t know how the crowd would react and was terrified that he might fall or fail — especially because it was the first time that he hadn’t played his signature tune, “Spaceman.” But the crowd went wild; they were just happy to have him back. So, as nervous as Hardwell might think he is now pales in comparison to what he’s faced in the past. And truthfully, he’s more excited than he is anxious to show off the things he’s spent those winter months of virtual hibernation working on.

“When I create something really exciting in the studio, the first thing that comes to my mind is that I want to get on a stage and play it live. This is what I live for, playing new music and seeing the crowd’s reaction. It’s the best feeling in the world, seeing everything that you’ve composed come to life.”

This is especially true because Hardwell has truly been putting in the work constantly striving to innovate and to top himself. Besting other DJs isn’t as important as creating something new and fresh that he himself can be proud of.

“I love innovation; I love the future,” he enthuses. “I think electronic dance music has always been about pushing boundaries. We have new synthesizers, new ways to design sound. It’s never been as easy to incorporate stuff like new drum sounds. A lot of up-and-coming guys are making the most amazing music ever, just with a MacBook. You don’t need tons of equipment to be good anymore. You don’t even need proper speakers. Just download your favorite software, get some headphones, and you’re good to go. It’s never been as easy as it is right now to become a DJ and music producer.”

This would give me cause for concern, but he’s not sweating it he’s already established, after all. “For breaking through, it’s a bad thing, because there’s never been so much competition as there is right now. I think it’s great though, because everybody with a little bit of talent and drive can become a great producer. Back in the day, if you’re talking 80s and 90s, you had to buy equipment and speakers, spend about $300,000, and work in a proper studio to actually make a little bit of music. Now you can create from anywhere, with simple tools. It’s definitely a good thing.”

Similarly, AI doesn’t worry him either. “Snow Engine is making full music — singing, songwriting, everything you want. But the great thing about electronic music is that it’s always pushing boundaries, and AI is always trying to catch up. AI can’t come up with anything truly ‘new’; it’s always doing what’s already been done. I think that’s one of the most important things when it comes to dance music, being forward-thinking. AI can try to imitate that, but it’s always four steps behind. Right now, at least,” he amends. “I don’t know about the future, but at the moment it’s still behind, which is a good thing for us DJs; it makes us more relevant.”

Relevance, I think, is not a problem that Hardwell has ever had to contend with —and on that front, he agrees. “As a producer and DJ, I’m always really forward-thinking. I try to innovate every single day, coming up with new sounds and edits; I’m definitely not lazy. As a DJ, I always try to come up with different transitions and different ideas. It doesn’t take a lot of time to be innovative. I strive to always be a better version of myself, both as a DJ and as a person. We, as human beings, have the capacity to learn every single day, and I think it’s really important to do that. It’s really important to make mistakes, too.”

He smiles then, wide and guilelessly, before saying, “If you don’t make mistakes, you’re definitely a boring person. Personally, I like mistakes, because you can learn something from them.”

That seems to be Hardwell in a nutshell: an innovator through and through, who I think we can all agree is certainly anything but boring.

When you’ve been one of the world’s top DJs for almost two decades, suffice it to say, you’ve seen, done, and learned a lot — and, as such, know that some lessons are more important than others. For Hardwell, the greatest lesson he’s personally learned is a simple one.

“I know it sounds a bit cliché, but I think not getting caught up with all the tension and pressure — actually enjoying the moment — is the most important thing. When you’ve been working on something for months there’s a ton of preparation and pressure that goes into a one-hour set with the music and the visuals — sometimes it’s hard to remember how much fun it is being there on stage and just performing. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I can actually enjoy the moment instead of being just so focused on [the minutiae].”

Hardwell took a much-documented, often-discussed sabbatical between 2018 and 2022, but not for the reasons one might think. He wasn’t burned out, depressed, and so on — but he did need to put things in perspective and make DJing his dream again.

“When I took my sabbatical, it wasn’t because I didn’t like playing; I love playing. It’s my favorite thing to do along with performing,” he insists. “But I think the whole sabbatical was a step back, a way to rethink my career, be grateful for it, and take some more time for my private life. I’m 37 now; I’m literally at that age where my friends and family members are getting married and having kids. I was non-stop gigging around the world. I wanted some time to be there with the people I love and reflect on my career. It was never about not liking music anymore — I was always still making music — and it wasn’t about burnout; it was more about reflecting. To grow as an artist, sometimes you have to take two steps back to take one giant step forward.”

Hardwell says that during that time, he traveled a lot, spent copious time with the aforementioned family and friends, and did things that he hadn’t had the chance to do whilst playing 200 shows a year. He admits though that he never intended to take a four-year break. The pandemic, unfortunately, extended that break for him.

“It was like all of a sudden the world was stuck, so it took four years for my comeback,” he says, optimisticallyadding that this wasn’t the disaster (musically, at least) that it could have been. “For me, personally, it was a

“TO GROW AS AN ARTIST, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO TAKE TWO STEPS BACK TO TAKE ONE GIANT STEP FORWARD.”

good thing. I didn’t get distracted by other DJs or where they were playing, because there were no festivals, no shows at all. Everything I made during that period was basically my own, my thoughts and inspiration. Looking back at [the album I made during that time, 2022’s REBELS NEVER DIE], it will always be something special.”

Of the album, a bold and uncompromising body of work that fused hard-edged nostalgia with forward-thinking sound design, highlighted by tracks like “Broken Mirror” and “Into the Unknown” that combine raw emotion with danceability, he says, “I think it’s really weird how it came together. Normally, I use the fans’ reactions when I’m on stage as my biggest inspiration, but without doing any shows or festivals, I had to do things in a different way.”

That way worked. In another full circle moment, he debuted this entirely new music at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival in 2022 to a shocked and delighted crowd, who embraced his new sound — darker, more techno-infused music than his typical big-room house. And all of a sudden, Hardwell was back with a bang, an accompanying 20-date world tour featuring sold-out shows across continents, a renewed vigor for his lifestyle of choice, and a clever way of having his cake and eating it, too.

“I think balance is the key; it makes everything fun to do,” he shares. “When I was doing 200 shows a year and my fans expected new music, I wasn’t even able to create it because when I was back in the studio, I was completely exhausted — and when you’re exhausted, you don’t have any inspiration. It’s a downwards spiral. You’re getting frustrated because you’re not making any new music, and you know you have to travel again next week. It was always like living with pressure.”

But since he took that much-needed break, it’s all gravy again; the world feels brand-new. “Now, I don’t feel the pressure — I just feel like a lot of fun and enjoyment. I can make new music. I have time for everything that I love to do and for me, that is key.”

Now, instead of 200 shows a year, he’s doing 100. He’s continuing to make new and innovative music, collaborating with the likes of Afrojack, Space 92, Maddix, Nicky Romero, Timmy Trumpet, Armin van Buuren, and Sub Zero Project, while creating remixes for artists such as David Guetta, Benny Benassi, Calvin Harris, and Ellie Goulding. He returned to his “Hardwell On Air” radio show, began streaming his Hardwell YouTube channel, and placed a heavier focus on his label, Revealed Recordings. He also has the monthly broadcasted show “Hardwell Presents Euphoria” on Tomorrowland’s One World Radio, and is actively working on new collaborations, inclusive of a new track with Maddix.

Basically, he’s doing it all — and that’s because he’s found that sweet spot, that much-needed balance of career and life that we all strive for. It’s a major accomplishment to have found it, to be sure.

“I want to give everything 200 percent, my full energy,” he insists. “I can only do that — be on stage, make new music, do my radio show, do interviews, run my record label, enjoy my private life, work out, and not

be exhausted all the time — by finding that balance. It’s something I was always struggling with, and right now, I have it; I can enjoy everything that I love to do the most. I don’t need to take another break — I don’t want to ease up — because I’m really happy. I love the lifestyle. It’s not for everybody; DJs don’t deal with jet lag. DJs are the jet lag; we live in all the time zones. So, you really have to love what you do to actually do this job, but I wouldn’t change it for anything.”

Practicing mindfulness has helped him achieve this epiphany, and as such, is something he actively tries to employ. “I’m always trying to live in the present, enjoy what’s happening right now, because I’m all about energy and how everything feels. I try to reflect that in my music and even when I’m performing on stage,” he says, noting that for where he’s at in life now, it’s less about having that kind of monster success he had with “Spaceman” or being named the world’s top DJ — it’s about enjoying the ride, and taking pride in his work.

“It’s always nice to see tracks doing really well streaming-wise, and I know this is going to sound cliché, but when I finish a song and am super happy about it, that’s already a success factor. I’ve created something new that satisfied me that I hope a lot of people will enjoy as much as I do.”

And so, when he shares that this moment in time is not so much a new chapter, but a continuation of his story, it makes perfect sense.

“It’s a never-ending chapter, a never-ending story. When I did my [2022 comeback world tour] with REBELS NEVER DIE, I was able to play the festivals again, and actually be able to enjoy my comeback. Every day, I need and try to be a better version of myself, and I keep working really hard on that. I’m always trying to improve myself, both as a person, and as a DJ. I’m really grateful for everything that’s happened in my career, and especially what’s happening right now. I always go to the studio with a big smile on my face.”

He’s even smiling now as he reflects on the 14-year-old kid he was when he got his start, the kid who signed his first record deal before skyrocketing into global consciousness, maintaining, “This was my dream, and basically, I’m still living my dream. The only thing I wanted to do was create music and play shows around the world. And now, I’m actually living that dream; it’s my full-time job. I’m really proud of that, and I’m really grateful.”

He’s especially grateful to be coming home to Ultra in its 25th year, and to have that clutch closing gig to boot — especially after taking that four-year hiatus. “I never missed an edition of Ultra besides those during my sabbatical, obviously. Their trust in having me close down the festival is a really big honor, and it means a lot to me that I’ve been able to come full circle. I promise that I’m definitely going to nail every expectation.” He pauses. “You know, I’ve been there on the main stage for I don’t know how many years, but every time, it’s nerve-wracking in the best way possible. I get those butterflies in my stomach; I get excited. It makes all the preparations, all the time, every second, worth it.”

Ferrari Purosangue

I’VE OFTEN SAID THAT “FERRARI” MAY BE THE MOST-PERFECT HYPERCAR name — it even sounds fast and is fun to say, in whatever ersatz-Italian accent you can muster up. The same goes for the new Ferrari Purosangue, in which they built on the sonorous accolades from the brand’s illustrious heritage to name a vehicle that is so far from the normal vision of an “SUV” (much less a “minivan”) — with good reason. And to dispel any rumor that, as a four-door higher-profile vehicle, it’s not a “real” Ferrari, they used the Italian word for “thoroughbred” that literally translates to “pure blood.” Heck, they even came up with a new three-letter moniker: it’s not an SUV, it’s an FUV (don’t jump to any conclusions here as it stands for “Ferrari Utility Vehicle”).

Purists may say that to be a Ferrari, the vehicle has to be a sports car as anything else is pure heresy. Then again, purists used to say that a Betamax was the way to go before VHS obliterated the competition. Purists also used to say that a McIntosh stereo amplifier, at a hair under $2,000, was the only way to listen to music at home, even though only the family dog could appreciate the sound.

But enough about background and allusions. What’s it like, and is it true to its heritage? In two words: “bravissimo” and “abso-ferrari-lutely.”

Let’s start with the looks, as that’s what hits you first. Svelte with sinuous, wind-sculpted lines, clearly a performance look, accentuated by the lack of rear-door hardware (the rear-hinged doors, which open toward the back, are operated by a small switch at the top of the front beltline), which gives the Purosangue the look of a tall GT car. Ferrari has long offered two-plus-two vehicles, so the idea of a Ferrari for four is not new. The most recent iterations of the FF and then the GTC4Lusso showed that the Maranello Masters were very adept at melding form, performance, and comfort for a vehicle suitable for a small group of people. The Purosangue just took that heredity further, providing a vehicle that does not compromise on sufficient headroom nor on the front and rear seat space, but still looks terrific.

Of course, being a Ferrari, the car is a performer. A mid-front-engine layout for the impressive V12 motor (naturally aspirated, which means no turbo- or super-charger) portends great handling and superb acceleration, both of which

A wolf in wolf’s clothing.

this car has in gobs. Who but Ferrari would create an all-wheel-drive utility vehicle with 49:51 percent weight distribution? And lest we forget, the massively powerful motor can rocket the car to 60 miles per hour in just over three seconds (be careful not to test that when the boot is chockablock with groceries).

Handling? Yes, please. Again, the Purosangue delivers. This is a vehicle into which Ferrari clearly poured every trick in their book. High-end aero development focused on bodywork, underbody, and even the rear diffuser to handle airflow economically. Four-wheel steering for more alacrity around town and in the twisties, active suspension to better handle the vagaries of the road and allow for more dynamic cornering (the body remains almost flat in the turns and the tire contact patch is kept at the maximum) and a newly developed chassis and a carbon fiber roof make for a lower center of gravity. It will come as no surprise that technology designed for the 812 Competizione pays an active role (no pun intended) in the Purosangue.

Sound? Again, a decidedly strong “yes.” The notes from the professional “Burmester 3D High-End Surround Sound System” are purely recreated by ribbon tweeters (the first time they have been fitted to any production car) and the subwoofer in its own cabinet will get your body thumping. But, as this is V-12 Ferrari, I expect that the drivers will not use the entertainment sound system anywhere near as much as the right-pedal on/off switch for the real symphony coming from the orchestra under the hood. Look, I love electric cars as much as the next guy (well, probably more than some, less than others) but as Jay Leno likes to say, “There’s no replacement for displacement,” and never were truer words said than when referring to a motor that has 12 raging cylinders, with some 6,500 ccs of displacement and 725 cv (about 715 hp) of power. The exhaust note on this car is nothing short of symphonic.

I loved every minute I had with this car. The looks, the sound, the comfort, the performance — and did I mention sound and performance? — make for a terrific package. “Mine” was very well equipped, with a base price of $393,350 and a price as tested of $576,544. Ferrari clearly didn’t hold back when it came to the parts bin on this one. Such options as carbon fiber here, there, and everywhere, matt black/diamond-cut forged wheels, front suspension lifter (de rigueur if you don’t want a carbon fiber rhinoplasty courtesy of your driveway), special paint (Rosso Portofino on my test car and Grigio Titanio Metall on the model featured here), and more gave reason for the $183,000+ options total.

Driving the Purosangue is quite like driving a taller high-performance Ferrari sports car with terrific visibility and superior ergonomics. I found much to love about this vehicle and expect that it will do well in all markets. It’s the perfect blend of performance, looks, comfort, handling, and all around fun.

LVMH WATCH WEEK REWIND

LVMH Watch Week landed in New York this year, showcasing an esteemed repertoire of brands and their latest timepieces to kick off 2025. Discover the most impressive novelties from LVMH Watch Week ahead.

LOUIS VUITTON TAMBOUR TAIKO SPIN TIME

WHILE LOUIS VUITTON HAD QUITE AN IMPRESSIVE SHOWING, like the new Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence, the Louis Vuitton Tambour Taiko Spin Time really stole the show. The Spin Time, a complication uniquely associated with Louis Vuitton, has been a hallmark of the Maison’s haute horlogerie since 2009, when it was first developed by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. This innovative jumping hours display, inspired by the flap displays in airports and train stations, has now evolved into the Tambour Taiko Spin Time collection. This new line, entirely powered by in-house movements, introduces six limited-edition models that redefine the Spin Time with a fresh design ethos. The collection’s introduction marks a significant moment for Louis Vuitton’s watchmaking, showcasing a blend of tradition

and innovation with its 39.5 mm and 42.5 mm cases, the latter featuring an open case back to reveal the intricate in-house caliber.

The Tambour Taiko Spin Time not only revisits the origins of Spin Time but also pushes the boundaries with new technical and esthetic developments. The watches feature a patented three-dimensional jumping cubes display, now with subtly curved faces for enhanced light play, housed within a meticulously crafted Tambour Taiko case inspired by Japanese ceremonial drums. This case is a testament to the advanced skills of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, with complex finishes and integrated lugs that marry elegance with ergonomics. Moreover, the collection introduces groundbreaking complications like the worldfirst travel time display in the Antipode model and combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering in the Tourbillon variant.

DANIEL ROTH EXTRA PLAT SOUSCRIPTION

DANIEL ROTH CONTINUES ITS REVIVAL WITH THE EXTRA PLAT

Souscription, a limited edition of 20 pieces that pays homage to the brand’s 1990s origins with a new DR002 movement, crafted in 18k yellow gold with a hand-made guilloche dial, maintaining the iconic double ellipse form and traditional watchmaking techniques. This ultra-thin dress watch, echoing the simplicity and elegance of the original Extra Plat from 1990, combines historical design elements with modern mechanical innovation, developed by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.

GERALD GENTA OURSIN FIRE OPAL

THE GÉRALD GENTA GENTISSIMA OURSIN FIRE OPAL IS THE FOURTH watch in the series, blending Genta’s design legacy with vibrant esthetics. It features 137 individually screwed fire opals set around a 36.5 mm yellow gold case, complemented by an orange cornelian dial. This limited-edition timepiece, inspired by a sea urchin spotted during a 1994 vacation in Corsica, pays tribute to Genta’s passion for exquisite stones and his intuitive design approach.

TAG HEUER FORMULA 1 CHRONOGRAPH

THE FOCUS THIS YEAR FOR TAG HEUER IS CLEAR: IT IS ALL ABOUT Formula 1. On the heels of the exciting announcement in January that TAG Heuer would return to F1 as the Official Timekeeper, the brand is going all-in on its legacy at F1 as they introduced five new additions (four chronographs, to be exact) to its renowned Formula 1 collection. The highlight is the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph x Oracle Red Bull Racing, crafted with a grade-2 titanium case and a forged carbon bezel. Its blue opaline dial with a checkered flag pattern captures the spirit of F1, complete with Oracle Red Bull Racing’s iconic colors. This special edition celebrates the thrill of racing and the successful partnership between TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing, which has produced eight exclusive timepieces since 2016.

HUBLOT BIG BANG TOURBILLON AUTOMATIC GREEN SAXEM

NEW CEO JULIEN TORNARE IS LASER-FOCUSED ON HUBLOT’S DNA of being unconventional and working outside the conformed boundaries of watchmaking. Case in point: the new Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green Saxem. A limited edition of 18 pieces, the watch showcases a pioneering use of SAXEM, a material akin to sapphire but with vibrant color capabilities. The emerald-green transparent case houses the MHUB6035 self-winding tourbillon movement, developed in-house, with a 72-hour power reserve.

TIFFANY & CO. BIRD ON A ROCK TSAVORITE WATCH

LEVERAGING ITS 187-YEAR LEGACY, TIFFANY & CO. CONTINUES TO INNOVATE WITH the Jean Schlumberger watch collection, where the emblematic Bird on a Rock, first introduced as a brooch in 1965, is reimagined with a diamond-encrusted bird that spins freely on the dial, crafted through a meticulous process involving hand-sculpted gold, diamond setting, and a pink sapphire eye, embodying Schlumberger’s vision of whimsy and movement. The Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Bird on a Rock Tsavorite Watch features a 39 mm case with 413 round brilliant diamonds and a rotating outer ring set with 36 baguette tsavorites of 5.4 total carats, including a self-winding Swiss movement and a dark green alligator strap with a diamond-set T buckle.

BVLGARI LADY SOLOTEMPO BVS100 AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT

AT BVLGARI, THINGS GOT TECHNICAL THIS YEAR AS THEY UNVEILED A BRAND NEW movement, the Lady Solotempo BVS100 automatic movement. After years of meticulous development, this new iteration showcases the brand’s watchmaking expertise, perfectly fitting within the iconic Serpenti head design. This compact movement, measuring 19 mm in diameter and 3.90 mm thick, offers a 50-hour power reserve, enhancing the versatility of the Serpenti collection while solidifying Bvlgari’s reputation in high-end horology and within the LVMH family.

ZENITH CHRONOMASTER SPORT RAINBOW

THIS YEAR MARKS ZENITH’S 160TH ANNIVERSARY, AND CEO BENOIT DE CLERCK HAS MANY surprises up his sleeve. To kick off this monumental year, Zenith has introduced the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow, which is crafted from 18k solid white gold and features 50 baguette-cut gemstones. The 41 mm case is adorned with a subtle rainbow bezel and hour markers composed of 40 vibrant sapphires, totaling approximately 3.9 carats. Additionally, the watch showcases 10 baguette-cut diamonds, amounting to around one carat, on the 1/10th of a second frequency chronograph. This piece is testament to Zenith’s mastery of gem-setting and high-frequency watchmaking.

IT’SAPRÈS SEASON!

THESE ARE THE BEST WINTERTIME DESTINATIONS FOR THE LUXURY-LOVING

SKI SET.

THE DOLOMITES AMAN ROSA ALPINA

Head to the Italian town of San Cassiano, a classic resort in The Dolomites with an alpine twist that also doubles as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Skiing and pampering are at the forefront here at the Aman Rosa Alpina hotel, which, though it officially opened its doors in 1939 simply as Rosa Alpina, is reopening this year with a massive refurbishment as a fully-fledged Aman. Architectural enhancements to the exterior of the hotel and interior communal areas now allow for a more diverse and extensive culinary offering with the addition of private dining spaces for intimate celebrations, while the wellness area has almost doubled in size and provides an entirely new spa menu. The redesign, overseen by longtime Aman collaborator Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects (who most recently masterminded the monumental transformation of the Crown Building to become Aman New York), includes a remodel of all 50 rooms and suites, the top of which are two 1,615-square-foot presidential suites and the 3,015-square-foot Chalet Zeno, a private refuge accommodating up to six guests. Strada Micurà de Rü, 20, 39036 San Cassiano BZ, Italy

ST. MORITZ GRAND HOTEL

DES BAINS KEMPINSKI

There is no doubt St. Moritz is the most stunning and most glamorous mountain setting of the Swiss Alps, transforming into a snow-covered wonderland each winter as it hosts the Snow Polo World Cup and fellow horse race White Turf. Here, there are two villages: Bad, near the town’s center, and Dorf, located by the region’s thermal springs. The latter is for those who want to shop and après minus the skiing while those looking for a quieter, more private getaway should stay at Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski, located at the foot of the Signalbahn cable car and the legendary Hahnensee ski run, which offers access to the ski in/ski out to Corviglia and Piz Corvatsch ski areas. The 196-room property, open since 1864, is home to three awarded restaurants, inclusive of the Michelin-starred Cà d’Oro and the Italian gourmet Ristorante Da Adriano with 14 Gault Millau points. The luxury experience is completed by its Alpine Spa and its purifying Mauritius spring water, four different saunas, steam bath, laconium, atmospheric indoor pool and heated outdoor pool, gym, Kneipp baths, and alpine garden, in-house ski school, and appropriately-named nightlife venue, Billionaire. Via Mezdi 27, 7500 St. Moritz, Switzerland

VERBIER W V ERBIER

For those seeking some of the most challenging backcountry skiing (and one of the longest ski run in the world), head to Verbier. The crowd, a posh mix of British Royals and wealthy Europeans, converges here for the upscale vibe and the area itself: smack dab in the midst of 4Vallées (comprised of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, and Thyon). For a stay that’s truly both fun and luxurious, check in to the W Verbier, which offers ski in/ski out access, just steps away from the main Verbier lifts. The property is home to 123 rooms and suites, each of which has a fireplace and private balcony, making it the perfect spot for an intimate escape after a full day of powder. This 5-star property offers a wide range of culinary options, including a tapas bar and mixology experiences at the brand’s signature W Living Room. Guests can unwind in a 14,000 square-foot Alpine oasis, which features two pools, nine treatment rooms, and the brand’s signature gym — FIT. The hotel also offers W’s renowned Whatever/Whenever service, but also uniquely provides a dedicated W Mountain Concierge that will provide exclusive access to all experiences on and off the slopes, from your first snowboard lesson to a heli-skiing adventure. On-property wellness experiences are pretty amazing as well, too, ranging from yoga with former Freeride World Tour snowboard champion Emilien Badoux to one-on-one fitness with an in-house biomechanics coach 70 Rue de Médran, 1936 Verbier, Switzerland

W Verbier

ZERMATT MONT CERVIN PALACE

This stunning Swiss alpine mountain town is a must for skiers in that it features the highest-altitudes pistes in Europe, just below the iconic, pyramid-shaped Matterhorn peak. Here in Zermatt, you’ll also find the highest cable car station in Europe with views of both the Swiss and Italian Alps, and the Gornergrat, a mountain panorama with glorious views of the Matterhorn. Luxury lovers will like it, too, as its main street — Bahnhofstrasse — is liberally dotted with high-end boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and luxury hotels. On that front, our pick is Mont Cervin Palace — often referred to as the ‘Grande Dame of Zermatt’ due to fact that it opened its doors in 1853 — that offers the best of both worlds as it is actually located on Bahnhofstrasse. When you’re not on the slopes, there’s an endless amount to do here, be it dining at its Michelin star restaurant, Ristorante Capri, drinking at Joseph’s Bar and the Bar at the Petit Cervin, or relaxing at Spa Nescens. Bahnhofstrasse 31, 3920 Zermatt, Switzerland

GSTAAD THE ALPINA GSTAAD

Switzerland is so good for skiing that we had to feature another Swiss locale in Gstaad, an upscale resort town in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps. Its breathtaking views, sublime skiing, and prestigious international boarding schools have long made it a holiday destination for royalty and celebrities. Both can be at The Alpina Gstaad, a five-star, eco-friendly hotel known for its mindful, conscious, and responsible luxury. Classically carved ceilings and timber-clad walls create a cozy feel when coupled with leather headboards, Swiss farmhouse-style cupboards and chests, and décor such as the traditional leather straps used to hold cowbells an iconic image for Gstaad. The property also features the Michelin star restaurant Martin Göschel, which features a French-based cuisine that incorporates local and regional ingredients from the Saanenland and 400 rare vintages of wine, as well as Megu, a restaurant from Sushi Master Tsutomu Kugota. It is also home to a Six Senses spa, which, for those in the know, offers an intuitive mix of science and human awareness that is both high-tech and high-touch. Alpinastrasse 23, 3780 Gstaad, Switzerland

The Alpina Gstaad

COURCHEVEL HÔTEL BARRIÈRE LES NEIGES

Moving on, let’s head to the French Alps ski resort of Courchevel, located in the Tarentaise Valley — part of Les Trois Vallées, the largest linked ski area in the world known for hosting the 1992 Winter Olympics and the 2023 World Ski Championships. It is also home to one of the largest concentrations of 5-star luxury hotels in Europe. Our pick is the ski in/ski out Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges, a boutique offering from the prestigious Barrière Group that is small but mighty, with just 22 rooms and 20 suites, all of which have a refined style, warm atmosphere, and breathtaking views of the peaks. New for winter 2025, the property has debuted a glorious new two-story restaurant in Loulou, a celebration of Savoyard culture with beautiful views of the snow-covered Bellecôte run. The eatery also highlights cuisine from the neighboring Italian Alps, with menu items like truffle pizza and pasta al pomodoro by day, and by night, transforms into a DJ-focused party spot. The property also unveiled a collaboration with renowned beauty expert Elodie Raheria in its Biologique Recherche spa. 422 Rue de Bellecôte, 73120 Courchevel, France

MEGÈVE L’ ALPAGA, A BEAUMIER HOTEL

Megève, a ski resort village in the Mont Blanc massif of the French Alps, is known for its downhill runs, snow parks, and crosscountry trails as well as its idyllic, vintage vibe — due in part to the medieval, cobblestoned streets of its center. Stay at l’Alpaga, the only resort in Megève to offer views of the Mont Blanc. It, too, is tiny, with just 22 rooms — all decorated in a contemporary alpine style, highlighted by wood, stone, flannel curtains, cashmere rugs, and faux fur. Stay in one of six private chalets, which come complete with fireplaces, fully equipped modern kitchens, and private gardens. Don’t miss La Table de l’Alpaga, a Michelin-star eatery courtesy of chef Antony Bisquerra; SPA de l’Alpaga, a quiet heaven of tranquility and well-being featuring a gym, hammam, a leisure pool with massage jets and a bubble couch, and a new outdoor pool. Outside, enjoy the Scandinavianstyle sauna and heated bath overlooking the Mont Blanc. 66 All. des Marmousets, 74120 Megève, France

L’ Alpaga, A Beaumier Hotel

JACKSON HOLE CALDERA HOUSE

Jackson is a town in Wyoming’s Jackson Hole valley, home to three ski areas: Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Snow King Mountain Resort, and Grand Targhee Resort. It’s known for its party vibe and great runs on the peaks of the Grand Teton National Park, as well as its proximity to Yellowstone National Park. Stay at Caldera House, an all-suites, ski in/ski out hotel with a private members club in the heart of Teton Village at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Its exclusivity was the intention of owner Wes Edens, also known as the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks and one of the co-owners of Cincoro Tequila, who enlisted the help of friends and co-owners Michael Novogratz, David Barry, and Randal Nardone to create an unmistakably luxurious property. Award-winning design studios Commune and Carney Logan Burke designed this eight-suite hotel with state-of-the-art kitchens, modern fireplaces, private outdoor balconies, heated bathroom floors, steam showers, soaking tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning mountain views. Stays include a dedicated concierge, access to the member’s lounge and spa, custom bootfitting and ski-tuning, demos at the on-site ski shop, and ski-valet; a spa that features an infinity hot plunge, dry sauna, and state-of-theart fitness/yoga studio; three distinct restaurants; and a private bar and lounge. 3275 Village Dr, Teton Village, WY 83025

Four Seasons Resort & Residences Jackson Hole

ASPEN HOTEL JEROME, AUBERGE RESORTS COLLECTION

Aspen is the premiere ski resort in America — due in part to the ski runs themselves, and in part because of its massive celebrity following. On any given day, one might see some of Hollywood’s finest strolling through town in their fur parkas, on the slopes, indulging in some après at Casa Tua, The Snow Lodge, or Catch Steak, or fine dining at Matsuhisa, Bosq, or Element 47. This winter, the culinary greatness carries over to Hotel Jerome, which has unveiled a collaboration with Taikun Sushi at its underground bar Bad Harriet in its Taikun x Bad Harriet omakase experience. Aspen’s first luxury hotel — a 134-year-old landmark that is part of the National Register of Historic Places — also boasts the lauded Aspen institution J-Bar; après-ski favorite, the Living Room bar and lounge; an award-winning spa; state-of-theart fitness facilities; a ski concierge; and an outdoor pool and hot tub. 330 E Main St, Aspen, CO 81611

Our hotel pick is the stunning Four Seasons Whistler, North America’s largest ski resort, which offers some of the largest, most luxurious hotel rooms in this chalet-style village. Its décor can be described as modern-rustic, with rooms that feature stone, dark wood, and gas-burning fireplaces, of which are complemented by views of snow-capped mountains.

NISEKO, JAPAN SETSU NISEKO

The Niseko area of Japan has also made our hit list for the best places to ski in the world. Located on Japan’s northern island prefecture of Hokkaido, a two-hour drive away from Sapporo, this area is known to have the world’s best powder throughout the winter months. Stay at Setsu Niseko, which was voted the ‘World’s Best New Ski Hotel’ at the World Ski Awards last year, a hotel with 190 luxury suites encompassing a beautiful synthesis of Japanese design with easy access to the Grand Hirafu Ski Resort.

The school of LOUIS VUITTON

For the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2025 collection, Nicolas Ghesquière teaches us a lesson in femininity where structure meets fluidity, texture dances with print, and tailoring is reimagined through a lens of retro-futuristic influences.

LOUIS VUITTON AND RENOWNED CONTEMPORARY ARTIST TAKASHI MURAKAMI MARK THE 20 TH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR ICONIC COLLABORATION WITH A GLOBAL RE-EDITION LAUNCH THAT TAKES SHAPE IN ACTIVATIONS HONORING THE LEGACY OF THIS UNPARALLELED PARTNERSHIP.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

Two decades after their landmark partnership, Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami reunite with a re-edition collection encapsulating the essence of their original collaboration. This union of Louis Vuitton’s commitment to creativity and Murakami’s vibrant, imaginative world, marked by his fusion of Japanese art, sci-fi, and kawaii culture, brings over 200 pieces that resonate with joy and artistic innovation.

The collection revisits and reimagines Murakami’s reinterpretation of the Louis Vuitton Monogram, introducing the Monogram Multicolore in 33 bright colors across an array of signature Louis Vuitton pieces, from the Keepall to the Speedy. Each product leverages advanced technology for sharper prints and richer colors, showcasing Murakami’s characters with unprecedented detail. Highlights include the playful LV Hands on the Alma BB bag, the Superflat Panda on various accessories, and the enchanting Cherry Blossom motif on the Papillon bag.

This re-edition not only honors the past but also embodies the enduring creative dialogue between Louis Vuitton and Murakami, transcending trends and generations.

New York is among the seven global cities to host immersive Louis Vuitton x Murakami events, alongside London, Milan, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo.

In the heart of SoHo, Louis Vuitton has inaugurated a pop-up to commemorate the re-edition of the iconic Louis Vuitton x Murakami collaboration. Inspired by Tokyo’s modular hotels, the space is segmented into themed areas, each vibrant and purposeful, connected by a sleek central corridor.

The retail area showcases the new Chapter One collection, featuring the Monogram Multicolore, Superflat Panda, and Superflat Garden. Purchases grant access to a unique vending machine, dispensing exclusive Louis Vuitton x Murakami collectibles. An exhibition section pays homage to the original collaboration, displaying historic pieces like the Eye Love Monogram and Monogram Blossom, offering a glimpse into the creative breadth of the initial partnership.

Sustainability and heritage are at the forefront with a dedicated care station for original pieces, where services range from cleaning to restoration, all observable in real time. The cinematic journey into the collaboration’s history is enhanced by a cozy downstairs cinema screening remastered versions of the Superflat Monogram film and Superflat First Love, where Murakami’s characters guide viewers through fantastical narratives inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

Completing the experience, a café adorned with Murakami’s floral motifs opens for the first weekend, offering a menu of artisanal beverages and panda-shaped pastries served in custom-designed Louis Vuitton x Murakami cups.

In Milan, Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami transform urban travel into a moving art exhibition, with two trams — one hosting a unique café experience and the other a miniature cinema — circulating the city, showcasing the vibrant synergy of fashion and art. Also, the Louis Vuitton Rome Etoile store offers a permanent cinematic journey into the world of Takashi Murakami with screenings of the Superflat movies in a dedicated cinema space.

The Harajuku pop-up in Tokyo — Murakami’s hometown — stands as the largest and most immersive Louis Vuitton x Murakami activation worldwide, redefining the boundaries between art, fashion, and cultural experience.

Beyond a pop-up in Dosan, Seoul enriches the Louis Vuitton x Murakami celebration with the Dodo ice cream shop, where guests can enjoy themed treats and the interactive Picdot photo booth experience.

Shanghai’s Julu Road transforms into a vibrant hub of art and fashion with three distinct Louis Vuitton x Murakami pop-ups: a café adorned with a Superflat Garden facade, a retail space showcasing the Monogram Multicolor, complete with archives and a vending machine, and a cinema further down the street.

MARK CELEBRATE BAM ADEBAYO AT THE MOORE MIAMI

ON JANUARY 18, MAKER’S MARK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH Haute Living and Haute Black honored NBA star Bam Adebayo and his mother, Marilyn Blount, for their creation of a custom Maker’s Mark Private Selection bourbon, entitled Bam & Marilyn’s 1 of 1 Blend, at The Moore in Miami. The celebration highlighted the launch of his custom blend Bam & Marilyn’s 1 of 1 that Bam and his mom Marilyn created as part of the brand’s Private Selection program, which allows individuals, retail, and restaurant partners to purchase a barrel and explore their own taste visions of Maker’s Mark. Kamal Hotchandani, CEO of Haute Living, delivered a heartfelt speech celebrating Maker’s Mark’s artistry and its special partnership with Bam and Marilyn, expressing: “Hand-dipped in its iconic red-wax for over 70 years, Maker’s Mark is the handmade Kentucky bourbon — warm, inviting, and perfectly balanced — it is the best bourbon to share with friends and family.” The event drew a notable guest list, including Radmila Lolly, Dr. Bertha Baum, Jason Humble, John Utendahl, and more. Acclaimed artists Vic Garcia and Bradley Theodore presented Adebayo with custom artworks inspired by his special bond with his mom. Throughout the evening, guests savored Maker’s Mark-inspired cocktails, including The Bam, made with Bam and Marilyn’s Private Selection Maker’s Mark, fresh pineapple juice, lime juice, and mint. The curated dining experience included dishes such as the citrus cured hamachi, trout roe, and cucumber vinaigrette.

WELCOMES

CINDY CRAWFORD TO MIAMI

ON NOVEMBER 3, HAUTE LIVING RAISED A GLASS TO Cindy Crawford, its November 2024 Miami cover star and a dear friend of the brand. While there was certainly a lot to celebrate during the evening — Crawford’s latest cover and the 20th anniversary of her beauty brand Meaningful Beauty — the night was also a warm welcome to her and her husband, Rande Gerber, as they recently bought a new home in Miami. Some of Crawford’s closest friends and her son, Presley Gerber, gathered to celebrate her and the family’s new Miami beginnings during an intimate cocktail at Casa Tua Miami Beach. Bespoke cocktails, champagne, and wines were served throughout the evening, as well as some of Casa Tua’s classic antipasti for guests to indulge in. As guests mingled, Adrienne Faurote, the fashion, jewelry, and watch director of Haute Living, welcomed guests and thanked Crawford for her enduring partnership and legacy at the magazine. The cover star then expressed her immense gratitude for the support and remarked on her excitement about joining this new Miami family. Other notable attendees included Haute Media Group CEO Kamal Hotchandani, Haute Media Group publisher Seth Semilof, Radmila Lolly, John Utendahl, Naeem Khan, Madlena Kalinova, Kinga Lampert, and more.
