KATIE THE CRUSADER KATIE COURIC’S ADVOCATION FOR CANCER SCREENING PAID OFF — AND MAY HAVE SAVED HER LIFE.

K

atie Couric’s closest friends call her the “screen queen.” It’s a nickname that she’ll happily own, given that an early detection cancer screening actually saved her life.

She remembers the day well. It was June 21, her eighth wedding anniversary to second husband John Molner, a day of celebration. Until it wasn’t.

Couric, now 66, was six months late for her annual mammogram, a by-product of the still-lingering pandemic. “My breast radiologist said, ‘I don’t love what I’m seeing’ and then she went on to give me a breast ultrasound. Oftentimes, it’s hard to tell if you have an abnormality because the denseness of your breast looks white on a mammogram, and an abnormality also looks white. As my doctor says, it’s like trying to see a snowball against a backdrop of snow. But I was lucky, because I had always gotten ultrasounds in addition to mammograms, and during this particular ultrasound, she needed to do a biopsy to be able to see accurately. And so, on my anniversary, I learned that I had early-stage breast cancer.”

Cancer is something Couric is sadly all too familiar with. She lost both her husband Jay Monahan to colorectal cancer in 1998, and her sister Emily to pancreatic cancer in 2001. As a result of their deaths, she realized that her life’s purpose was to try to eradicate the disease. She has spent over 20 years doing so, co-founding the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance in 2000, and later, in 2008, the non-profit Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C). With the collective goal of moving science forward faster, it was founded with eight other Hollywood power players, including former Paramount Pictures CEO Sherry Lansing. SU2C Science has now contributed to the approval of nine new FDA approved drugs.

That she has so much knowledge of cancer treatments and research offered a modicum of comfort. It softened the blow, so to speak. But hearing this kind of news, even for the toughest of cookies (which Couric clearly is) is never a good thing.

“It was a shock,” she admits now, over a year later. “It was destabilizing. The room kind of started moving around. It was scary. And even though we’ve made so much progress in cancer treatment, it was still a pretty scary [diagnosis].”

When the room stopped spinning, she employed some of that typical Katie Couric, silk-behind-steel gumption America has come to know, put on her shit-kicking boots, and got real. “When I looked at my situation compared to other people, I felt very fortunate. I had this foundation of experience. Because I have done so much work in this area, it was less scary and confusing for me. I knew what it meant to be diagnosed when you have metastases on other organs — as was the case with both my husband and sister — and knew that if the cancer was localized, if it wasn’t in my lymph nodes, I was in a good shape. It wasn’t as if I was just being introduced to this world of cancer. I have a pretty deep knowledge of the disease, and an understanding of treatment protocols and therapeutic approaches.

Ultimately, I felt very relieved, thinking, This is what it is, and I’ve got this.”

Armed with this knowledge, she believed her doctor when she was told that her cancer was treatable, that she was fortunate, and had the “good cancer.” To break it down, Couric had a hormone receptor positive tumor — meaning that estrogen and progesterone feed the tumor and make it possible to reemerge. Her treatments included lumpectomy and radiation; she is now on adjuvant therapy in the form of aromatase inhibitors, which reduce the amount of estrogen in her body.

Although I don’t understand much of it, that she’s sharing the specifics of her medical trials and tribulations is Couric’s way. She is famous for putting it all out there. No one will forget that she received a colonoscopy on the Today show in 2000 (though some do forget that it wasn’t done live). Nor 16 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

should they ever forget what happened directly because of this: there was a 20 percent increase in Americans who were screened for cancer after her segment aired, in what the media has dubbed (and which the University of Michigan actually coined) ‘The Couric Effect.’

She explains this moment as such: “When my husband Jay died of colon cancer in 1998 at just 42, I was the co-anchor of the Today show, and realized that there was so much I had learned during the process of his illness that would be invaluable for viewers to know and understand. And because I had gotten such a fast, nine-month-long education — that’s how long it was from diagnosis to when Jay passed away — I felt this obligation to inform the public.”

Ironically, it was doing just that that led to her own breast cancer diagnosis. She wanted to learn and educate more about dense breasts, and decided to draft an article about them for her newsletter, Wake-Up Call. She had planned to visually document the experience and brought her producer to her radiology appointment to do so. “I was going to explain what people with dense breasts needed to do vis-a-vis screening. Of course, I didn’t think I would be diagnosed in the middle of that,” she says ruefully.

Once Couric was aware of her diagnosis, there was never another road to go down — she always knew her news needed to be shared because ultimately it would benefit others. “It made perfect sense that I would be public about this because I’ve been public about so much,” she says in response. “I thought there was a lot of education that needed to happen for women with dense breasts, and I wanted to stress the importance of getting screened. My friends call me the ‘screen queen,’ and it’s true. I’ve seen firsthand now how early detection saves lives. The longer it takes to detect something, the more advanced the cancer is, and the more difficult it is to treat. So, yes, I jumped at the opportunity to help women — and men — who get diagnosed with breast cancer understand how important it is to get regular screenings, to know your family history, to see if you have a genetic predisposition to cancer, and to really be an advocate for your own health.

“I see journalism as a public service, and I started to think about what existed in terms of steps that should be taken if you have dense breasts,” she continues. “And then I started looking into public policy: how women are notified — or not, in many cases — how insurance pays for additional screening —it more often doesn’t — and how to really fix these problems.

The FDA changed their rules, and, starting in 2024, there will be a uniform process in which women who have them will be told — not only that they have dense breasts — but what they should do because of them. One of the things I’m trying to do is help reduce that gap for women, and make sure that they all have access to life-saving technology.”

For someone like Couric, sharing her story and advocating for not just her own health, but others, has helped her morale tremendously. She is doing what she knows, and despite her own terrifying diagnosis, working through it this way has been a tremendous comfort. She’s doing the right thing for her body by receiving treatment, and for her mind by treating this like any other thing. It is her life, and her choice.

“I’m a workaholic, whether I was diagnosed with breast cancer or not.

[When I received my diagnosis], I vowed to keep doing what I was doing.”

That included telling a lot of stories this past October, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “I try to use any platform I have to educate the public, not just about breast cancer, but all sorts of health issues because I want to share what I’m learning. One of the things I’ve mastered through the years is distilling and synthesizing complicated medical concepts and explaining them in simple terms to people. I feel like this is part of my mission: informing people, but doing it in an understandable, accessible way,” she declares.

“MY FRIENDS CALL ME THE ‘SCREEN QUEEN,’ AND IT’S TRUE. I’VE SEEN FIRSTHAND NOW HOW EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES.”

Talk about a mission. Telling the truth — in all forms — is her raison d’être. “I’m a journalist who strongly believes in trying to give people accurate, trustworthy information, especially now, where there is so much misinformation — there are all kinds of things that get spread and aren’t accurate. I want people to continue to trust me as a source of information.

I think I’ve always been an open book, and I have no qualms about sharing my personal story if I believe it will help other people. It took me a long time to talk about my husband, and even my sister, because those are their stories; they weren’t necessarily my stories to tell. But now, I have the benefit of time.”

She fully opened and allowed herself to tell those stories (and others) in her 2021 memoir, Going There, which was cathartic in many ways. “I talked about Jay and Emily a lot in the book. I felt it was time I could share what it was like, not for them, but as someone who was watching people they love die of this disease. When someone you love has cancer and there’s nothing you can do, it’s very frustrating to feel so powerless. I wanted to do something; to take what had happened to us, and try to help other families prevent it from happening to them.”

Though she is someone who has experienced endless amounts of pain, she has had pockets of great joy, too. There is always a silver lining, and she views her own early detection diagnosis as such. “I would have been committed to this for the rest of my life [anyway], but it renewed my commitment to educating people about cancer and supporting research.

Before I experienced cancer in my own family, I always wanted to help a lot of charitable causes. I’d emcee things, speak, and contribute, but I never had something that I felt so personally committed to. I think that when you have first-hand experience with something like a disease, it changes your perspective and gives you profound understanding. I wanted to use that knowledge to galvanize a community, support science, and find a cure,” she admits, noting, “I’ve always had purpose, but to really focus on this gave my life an even greater sense of purpose.”

T

here is very little doubt that, in journalism, Katie Couric is a G.O.A.T. But did you know she’s also a goat — a Capricorn — in the astrological sense?

I take great pride in telling Couric all about her astrological signs — she’s a Capricorn sun, Aries moon, and ibra ascendant — during our preHalloween Zoom.

“All I know is that I’m a Capricorn, a goat, that I like to work hard, and that I’m very motivated. I’m not really into astrology. What does it all mean?

I have no idea,” she admits. Nor does she want to know, but I tell her about herself anyway. She is practical at heart, pretty in appearance, and because of this, people tend to think they can get one over on her. But that Aries moon The woman is all fire if you cross her. lus, she’s compelled to tell the truth, at any cost. “ ou’re a bit of a Crusader,” I say. “ atie the Crusader.”

“Maybe that’s my Aries moon,” she okes. [As an aside, her funny side is what surprises people the most about her — that, and being able to play the piano by ear.]

Whether it’s written in the stars is up for debate — especially by the endlessly pragmatic Couric, whose Capricorn sun is showing methinks — but that eorge Washington-es ue refusal to tell a lie is something that’s been a part of her personality for as long as she can remember.

She recalls that she and brother John Jr. accidentally broke one of the posts off of her parents’ bed in their Arlington, irginia home during a pillow fight. “I remember not being honest with my mom,” she says of her mother, atherine, a homemaker and part-time writer. “I think my brother Johnny and I tried to glue it, but we did not come clean. I’m the kind of person who is filled with unbearable guilt by hiding something I’ve always been like that. I remember she was just standing there, washing dishes after @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 19

dinner, and I had to tell her the truth. She didn’t get mad. She said, ‘Thank you for being honest with me.’”

It makes sense that Couric — by virtue of her star chart or not — would dedicate her life to a relentless pursuit of the truth.

“When you’re a journalist, your whole profession is built on telling the truth and reporting what is going on. I’ve always been motivated that way, but I wouldn’t say I would tell the truth at all costs. There’s a balance; it depends on what you’re talking about. There are personal truths, and there are professional truths. You always have a choice of what you share with other people. It’s admirable to be a truth teller, but not if it’s going to hurt somebody,” she notes.

This sense of integrity must be part of the reason Couric is so successful.

For starters, she was the first woman to solo anchor a network, and then, one of the highest paid anchors in history. She’s also won a slew of prestigious accolades, including an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia, two Peabody Awards, two Edward R. Murrow Awards, a Walter Cronkite Award, multiple Emmys. She has been named one of Time magazine’s 100 most in uential people twice.

But that comes with the territory when you’ve put in the work to become one of the best. Her résumé is both breathtaking and intimidating. er first ob for the ABC News bureau in Washington, D.C. in was followed by stints at CNN as an assignment editor, a general assignment reporter for then-CBS affiliate WT J in Miami, and as a reporter for the NBC-owned W C-T in D.C., where she was working when she earned her first Associated ress award and an Emmy. Couric then moved to NBC News, first as the deputy entagon correspondent, and then as a national correspondent for the Today show, as well as substitute news anchor (at Today and NBC News at Sunrise). She became a permanent co-anchor on Today in when Deborah Norville did not return, as well as co-anchor of Now with Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric in . She remained at Today and NBC News for years until she announced she would be moving to CBS to anchor the CBS Evening News in 200 , where she became the first solo female to anchor one of the “big three” nightly news broadcasts, as well as the highest paid journalist in the world. Talk about breaking glass ceilings.

During her tenure at CBS, Couric won the 2008 and 200 Edward .

Murrow Award for best newscast. In 200 , she also took home the Emmy Governor’s Award for her broadcasting career, and in 2010, won an Emmy for her exclusive interview with Captain Sully Sullenberger, the hero pilot of US Airways Flight 4 that landed on the udson iver.

She returned to ABC News from 20 to 20 as a special correspondent, while simultaneously hosting the daytime talk show, Katie. That same year, then-Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer hired Couric as a global anchor of Yahoo!

News, where she remained until 20 after erizon purchased the site. But it wasn’t until 20 that she began to really steer her own ship, and work entirely for herself, on her terms, by creating Katie Couric Media (KCM).

There, she works steadily alongside husband of nine years John Molner to develop a slew of media projects, including the daily newsletter Wake-Up Call, the podcast “Next uestion with atie Couric,” multiple digital video series, and several documentaries. Over the years, she has produced Fed-Up About the Obesity Epidemic, Gender Revolution: A Journey with Katie Couric, for National eographic Under the Gun, which aired on Epix; and the six-part series America Inside Out with Katie Couric. She works with purpose-driven brands to create premium content that addresses important social issues like gender equality, environmental sustainability, and mental health.

“One of the things that is fun for me now is to create job opportunities to give people a chance to find their passion, to grow in a ob, and to explore things they’re interested in. I want people to love their work as much as I’ve loved my work, and to provide that place where they’ll find that love.”

She’s confident she will succeed where many others haven’t because KCM has responded to and been able to adapt to trends. “Certain networks have clung to the old model of linear television, which has been declining 20 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

year after year. For me, this has been an interesting business model, and a fascinating learning experience.”

She cites learning about things she was previously unfamiliar with, like podcasts, Instagram Lives, and even TikTok (of which I’m gently chastised about my ignorance) as ways she’s managed to roll with the current times and stay relevant. “We can’t wait for opportunities; we have to create them.

I think that’s something everyone is capable of. You have to pay attention to what’s going on, how trends change, and then figure out how to adapt, because if you don’t, you’re going to be left behind.”

After the career she’s had, working for herself and doing exactly as she wants to do feels unreal. “ aving the exibility to work for myself is a luxury,” she confesses.

She’s come to this conclusion, but only after literally Googling the meaning of luxury on her iPhone.

Couric thoughtfully pushes her gold-rimmed glasses higher on her nose and wonders aloud, “What is the definition of luxury I’m going to look this up.” Her phone reveals that luxury is “a condition of abundance or great ease and comfort,” and that “most people define luxury as having access to the nicest things life can offer” or “something that gives pleasure or comfort to an individual but is not necessary.”

She pauses, and admits that she disagrees with this definition, and has, while speaking, been searching for others that feel more accurate. “A better definition is this: luxury is defined as something that ‘gives pleasure or comfort to an individual but is not completely necessary.’ The synonyms they give are a uence, comfort, en oyment, extravagance, leisure, and opulence. I don’t really agree with these.” She shakes her head. “I think a luxury is something that’s special; it doesn’t always have to do with wealth and having the nicest things. [And so, for me, the greatest luxury in life would be] ‘time’ because it is a luxury. After all, it can be scarce. It’s a necessary commodity to have a life worth living, right If you don’t have time to be with the people you care about, or pursue the things you love, then your quality of life is simply not as good.”

For Couric, these days, that rare, eeting time is time well spent with the people she loves — her husband, her daughters Elinor and Caroline, and her circle of girlfriends; playing the piano (“The Way You Look Tonight” is a particular favorite); taking baths; walking in Central Park; going to a Broadway show; or painting watercolors when the mood strikes.

“I’m happy,” she confides. “I’m trying to appreciate every day. My husband always jokes that we’re on the back nine. And I always say, ‘Thankfully, I’m playing with a good set of clubs.’ I’m trying to make sure I’m not putting off great life experiences. I’m going to atagonia in February with my husband. I went to a University of Alabama football game because I’ve never been to a big game like that. I’m spending quality time with my friends and making sure that every day counts.

While I want to enjoy my life, I also really want to put important things out in the world. I’m starting a production company to work on more documentary projects, along with everything we’re doing at Katie Couric Media, but I’m trying to find the right balance, that elusive work-life balance. Luckily, my work has always been integrated seamlessly with my life — it satisfies my insatiable curiosity to learn and understand things. I’m one of those fortunate people that picked a profession they love, one that’s never really felt like work.”

She stops for a moment and smiles, her famously big, mega-watt, evening news, morning news, and everything in between smile, and offers up another piece of advice. “Having control over your destiny is everything, and that’s where I am now. I make decisions about what I do. Nobody can tell me that I have to do an interview about any particular movie. If I think the movie is terrible and I wouldn’t want people to waste their time on it, I just don’t have to do it. Before, a lot of the decision-making wasn’t mine. But I am the boss of me, as my daughters would have said when they were little.

That’s a good feeling. And that is a luxury.”

“I’VE ALWAYS HAD PURPOSE, BUT TO REALLY FOCUS ON THIS GAVE MY LIFE AN EVEN GREATER SENSE OF PURPOSE.”

Haute Beauty Experts Share Their Wholesome Practices For Holistic Well-Being

BY BROOKE KLAIMAN

PRIORITIZING YOUR WELL-BEING IS AN EVERYDAY ENDEAVOR, AND

who could offer better insights into wellness than our aute Beauty MD experts ere, they graciously share the wholesome practices that they have ac uired over time, allowing them to sustain a harmonious life balance.

Overcoming personal struggles, I’ve found ways to enhance well-being: setting adaptable goals, disconnecting from technology, delegating tasks, and embracing continuous learning.

Most importantly, reshaping our inner voice with positive self-talk is key.

DR. DINA D. STRACHAN | SKIN | MIDTOWN, NY Wellness is a long-term game. It’s about returning to the foundations of diet, sleep, exercise, and community. I have started intermittent fasting, which works well for me. I am mindful not to consume excess sugar and alcohol, I’ve been a vegetarian for decades, and I have been more intentional about getting seven or eight hours of sleep per night, even if I’m not always successful. iving in New ork City makes it easy to be active and have a community.

DR. DAISY AYIM | BODY | HOUSTON Wellness has always been a top priority, although the path of medicine often derails or limits the ability to do wellness as I imagine. owever, outdoor running is a fre uent practice that keeps me balanced both physically and mentally — Sunday mornings are ideal. Another ma or aspect of my ourney is only consuming water — no alcohol or soda. aired with exercise, it presents a sense of calmness and clarify. This simple living practice is my lifelong mental health therapy.

For me, it’s girlfriend time, family walks, and regular skincare and treatments to maintain my skin. As a board-certified dermatologist, I enhance patients’ wellness by addressing skin concerns, which boosts self-esteem. And of course, I prioritize my own skin health, too.

DR. THOMAS MCNEMAR | FACE | SAN FRANCISCO rioritizing my health empowers me to better care for my family and patients. A structured routine is key — sleep, early morning meditation, prayer, and preparation. Nurturing my mental well-being involves moments with family, bonds within my church community, and my unwavering faith, bolstered by a dose of comedic relief during leisure.

My physical health thrives on nourishing foods, a low-sugar diet, family-oriented activities, sauna sessions, and an array of diverse pursuits such as golf, ogging, skiing, and tennis. Walking our spirited black ortuguese Water Dog and lively apricot Standard oodle with my wife adds to our invigorating routine. Through these practices, I am empowered. Amid life’s demands, setting aside time for loved ones and treasured activities remains paramount.

JAMIE CARUSO CEO & FOUNDER, SALON LUSSO OF NAPLES | DAY SPA | NAPLES, FL Wellness and mental health are vital in my daily life. At five a.m., I begin with cold water, skipping phone use for an hour. Meditation outdoors or in my office follows, alongside goal-setting and visualization. I edit a life script and read 0 pages of a book. Then, I tackle work, emails, and calendar checks. I prioritize whole foods, hydration, and minimize alcohol and sugar.

This routine empowers a fulfilling, healthy life, emphasizing mental wellbeing and overall wellness.

DR. SAM RIZK | FACE | MANHATTAN, NY I’ve found that even my hobbies and work blend — I suppose that’s what happens when you really love your job!

Outside of art, nothing beats staying active with my family. My kids are accomplished in martial arts, and my wife and I love it, too. We also enjoy playing tennis together; I picked it up recently and discovered it’s a great way to keep my hand-eye coordination razor-sharp.

DR. BERTHA BAUM | SKIN | MIAMI, FL egular exercise, balanced nutrition, sufficient sleep, and stress management techniques like mindfulness and meditation have helped me maintain my physical and mental well-being. Engaging in hobbies, spending quality time with loved ones, and seeking social support also play vital roles in my life.

REFINE HEALTH | MEDICAL AESTHETICS | CORAL GABLES, FL & MIAMI, FL Numerous small habits can significantly contribute to elevating your overall well-being and nurturing your mental health.

This entails embracing daily sunlight exposure, benefiting from IV Therapy, tending to your oral vitamin regimen in the comfort of your home, and engaging in a workout routine four or five times a week. Incorporate daily stretches, especially post-exercise; consider performing them within a sauna environment for relaxation and muscle relief.

DR. JOSE RODRÍGUEZ-FELIZ | EYELID SURGERY & FACE | MIAMI, FL Throughout my life, I’ve embraced varied activities from martial arts and sports to weightlifting. As I grew older and wiser, I started to realize that focusing solely on my body provided only a limited perspective on holistic well-being. Over the past two decades, I’ve dedicated myself to personal growth and leadership, focusing on self-guided reading, and recently, coaching.

Over the past year, I’ve come to understand the power of working on the mind. I also experienced an awakening that has significantly enhanced my overall state of mind — achievements that physical activity alone couldn’t provide. My routine starts at five a.m. with spiritual awakening, breath work, and body alignment. Dual martial arts sessions and bodywork fill my days. This lifelong ourney has evolved into holistic self-improvement, integrating mind, body, and soul. hauteliving.com/hautebeauty HAUTE LIVING 31

DR. JEFFREY LISIECKI | NOSE | NEW YORK, NY Mental and physical wellness is so essential for all of us, and surgeons are no exception. Regular exercise is one of my most important strategies to clear my mind, manage stress, and keep my body healthy for those long days in the OR. Aside from that, healthy eating, making sure I get quality sleep, and making time to unwind with friends and family are also essential.

DR. JAY ARORA | VISION | SCOTTSDALE, AZ Mental health is by far the most critical component of my abilities as a physician. My job is to give patients my utmost dedication to their overall health, and that starts with prioritizing my own mental wellness. If you pour from an empty cup, you won’t be able to satisfy the demands of those depending on it. For me personally, the key factors in my balance come from exercise, meditation, and spending time with loved ones and friends.

To me, wellness is a state in which I feel well-balanced in my mental, physical, and spiritual mind. It includes doing things I love, like my job and seeing friends, as well as taking care of my body, being aware of how I nourish it, and taking care of my mind. Some practices I’ve included recently are meditation and journaling. In January 2023, I started using a guided meditation app, ust five or 0-minute meditations every morning.

I gradually increased the length of time and started meditating on my own without guidance. I have seen a noticeable change in my state of ease and overall wellness.

DR. ANNA CHACON | SKIN | MIAMI, FL As a healthcare provider, I recognize the importance of prioritizing one’s overall wellness and mental health. This is a continuous process that I personally strive to maintain, not ust during a specific month, but throughout the entire year.

My approach to wellness is driven by key practices: regular exercise, a balanced diet, quality sleep, mindfulness, and work-life balance. These strategies keep me on track. Effective time management, healthy boundaries, self-care, regular health check-ups, and a strong support system are my practical tools for maintaining balance. Remember, maintaining a healthy balance in life is a journey, not a destination. It’s about making small, sustainable changes that add up over time.

DR. VINEET SANDHU | CONCIERGE MEDICINE | NEW YORK, NY Prioritizing wellness and mental health is a lifelong commitment.

Recognizing the importance of my own well-being in providing quality care to patients, I make time to take care of myself. I understand that self-care is not selfish, it’s an essential component in a healthy work-life balance.

My ourney prioritizing wellness underscores self-care’s significance for healthcare professionals. Strategies like time management, exercise, mindfulness, and boundaries bring balance, enhancing well-being and patient care. Investing in ourselves makes us better caregivers and individuals for the rest of our lives.

DR. PETER ANDRADE, BEAUTIQUE CONCIERGE | MEDICAL SPA | BROOKLYN, NY It’s important that overall physical and mental wellness become a lifestyle rather than a short-term goal. I strongly believe that staying active, regardless of the method, is vital for health and longevity. Whether it’s cardio, strength training, or stretching, I believe sweating at least three times a week is paramount to a healthy lifestyle.

DR. NILAY SHAH | BREAST | NEW YORK, NY As a plastic surgeon in NYC, I value wellness and mental health amidst a busy life and an ever-bustling environment. Strategies that help me maintain a healthy balance include: regular exercise, exploring NYC’s diverse culinary scene while making mindful choices, and connecting with friends or attending cultural events.

With this, I set clear boundaries for work and personal time, allocating moments throughout the day for relaxation and re ection. rioritizing sleep and practicing mindfulness techniques, seeking professional development, and engaging in philanthropic activities fosters a sense of purpose. By integrating these strategies, I ensure that my overall wellness and mental health remain steadfast throughout the year.

As I grow older, I realize stress stems from pressure and the uncontrollable.

But fear not, for we at Empire Dental Aesthetics have a simple and tooth-friendly solution to satisfy your autumn cravings without compromising your smile.

Raw and crunchy fruits and vegetables are our allies in the battle against dental stains. These natural wonders serve as a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional fall desserts while providing a valuable service for your oral hygiene.

The key to maintaining a radiant smile during the fall season is balance.

While we understand the allure of indulging in seasonal delights, we encourage you to be mindful of their potential impact on your dental health.

2024 Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance City elegance, canyon stormer

BY TIM LAPPEN

The response to this question isn’t a simple one, and will likely depend upon when someone’s main experience with the brand occurred.

If it were in the late 1930s, the images conjured up would be of the famous world-beaters, the “Silver Arrows,” the sleek, shiny, and super-fast torpedoes that won races everywhere.

If it were in the 1950s, the response undoubtedly would focus on high-performance sports cars, including the legendary 300 SL “Gullwing” — still very much sought-after today — the 300 SLR racer, and the less-mighty yet beautiful 300 SL’s younger brother, the 190 SL. If it were in the 1980s or if it is now, luxury cars like the S-class would stand out, as well as perhaps the wagons, SUVs and crossovers — all status symbols.

But throughout all these decades, one thing remained constant: engineering. The cars coming from the company, based in Stuttgart, Germany, were strong, durable, solid, and dependable.

In recent years though, Mercedes has done more than just hint at its racing heritage, with high-speed road-going cars that display the “AMG” badge on their tails. Today, AMG is the high-performance subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, headquartered about 13 miles northeast of the main plant. While it started as a racing-engine company in 1967, it slowly became more formally aligned with Mercedes, until Mercedes-Benz bought the majority interest in the company in 1999.

The latest addition to the Mercedes-AMG line is the S63 E Performance, a sedan — and a hybrid — that I had the pleasure of experiencing for the day, both on the acific Coast ighway in Malibu, and along the canyons and valleys close to Mulholland Drive. And what a car it is.

Let’s start with the specs, which clearly foreshadow what you can expect from the upcoming driving impressions: Motors: V8 twin-turbo up front (603 horsepower) and an electric motor at the rear (188 horsepower).

Total horsepower: 791.

Total torque: 1,055.

0-60 mph acceleration: 3.2 seconds.

Top speed: 180 mph.

Drive wheels: all-wheel drive.

“WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MERCEDES-BENZ?”

Note that the car is not marketed as Mercedes-Benz, but as Mercedes-AM , re ecting the oint-venture nature of the “Skunk Works”, where the gremlins create masterful, powerful cars. To put an accent on that demarcation, the AM s are built in Affalterbach rather than the main Mercedes-Benz plant in Stuttgart. And it does not come as a surprise to car aficionados that Mercedes-AM created the engines that motivated some of today’s most sophisticated hypercars, such as the agani onda, uaryra 2, and the Aston Martin 8. retty good company to be in, right The car has a great stance, helped immeasurably by stunning 2 -inch forged wheels, a design exclusive to AM . The front grille is the first of its kind for AM and an array of design elements and finishes differentiate it from other Mercedes-Benz models. The business end of the car is similarly impressive: it boasts a nine-speed transmission with seven drive modes, ranging from all-electric to drop the hammer and four settings of regen.

Entering the car, it is hard to believe that this isn’t the Mercedes-Maybach sedan, considering how plush and commodious it is. Specially stitched and ventilated seats are complemented by surround sound state-of-the-art air conditioning with vertical registers are located on the main dash and ex uisite woods and leathers, as well as a large back seat, make for a luxurious ride.

Driving the car was pure oy. A wonderful combination of handling, accelerating, braking, and steering in a vehicle that tips the scales at around , 00 pounds is a uni ue experience. The ride is supple, yet there’s no body roll on the corners. ush it and it takes it all, and then some. There is absolutely no compromise in this vehicle: it is as if Mercedes-AM had made the largest — . feet long — and most luxurious car one that is both high-performing yet en oyable to drive at the same time. es, it’s a hybrid, but the emphasis is not on miles-percharge — it’s on blistering performance. And that works beautifully.

At press time, the cost had yet to be announced, but the base price is expected to be around 200,000. Is it worth it When accounting for the luxury it provides for nights on the town and the incredible performance it has when hitting the canyons, it’s hard to imagine what other vehicle in that price range can keep up.

2024 Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail A romantic journey through “la vie en rose.”

AT AN ELEGANT RECEPTION HIGH IN THE HILLS OVERLOOKING

the acific Ocean and ebble Beach olf inks, a ose Noire glided up the driveway to take its place in front of a wall of gorgeous dark red roses featuring a gold “ ” emblem in the middle, while Torsten M ller- tv s, olls- oyce’s CEO, introduced the brand’s latest creation.

Many ultra-luxury car makers and hypercar manufacturers will personalize your new ride. Though they may use different names to do so, they allow the buyer to choose the paint color, interior color, materials, seat and dash stitching, wheels, options packages, and, in some cases, enough options so that the purchase price of the fully-loaded car can go up to 00 percent more than the base car. But then, there is the concept of “coachbuilt.”

This is how many luxury cars were created around the world starting at the end of the horse-drawn coach period, which declined after the late 20s.

During those years, a buyer would purchase a “rolling chassis” (frame, wheels, motor, transmission, etc.) from the builder and then commission a separate company to design the perfect body and interior for the car, making this a time-consuming and expensive process. et when it was completed, the owner would have a uni ue car that couldn’t be owned by anyone else.

36 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com

Some vintage coachbuilt cars have received extremely high bids at auction, despite it being almost impossible to determine their value. et, I doubt that people purchasing coachbuilt cars today are as concerned about their resale value, considering they’re mostly looking for a car that is a re ection of their taste while showing their passion for design.

Starting in 20 , olls- oyce returned to its roots by introducing commissioned roadgoing art with its Sweptail — a two-door coachbuilt embodying the company’s wish to create never-before-seen cars. The design was intended to create an intimate and cosseting interior, wrapping the occupants in comfort and luxury while also providing a smooth and powerful ride and scenic views with a full-length glass roof.

The 202 Boat Tail continued that design language. It is the car of an extrovert, one who en oys driving with what olls- oyce calls a “highly social open top.” et me now introduce you to a ose Noire, the first of four coachbuilt “droptails” to be built, which was unveiled on the eve of the 202 ebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California. The open two-seater (it has a removable roof) is the first roadster body style in olls- oyce’s modern

history. It was inspired by the allure of the Black Baccara rose, a ower grown in France with velvet-like petals, beloved by the doyenne of the commissioning family.

Photos do not do the color of the car justice. The incredibly luminescent and ewel-like red paint re uired some 0 iterations to perfect — a finish so dynamic that, while on display on a perfectly clear, sunny day, it shone with many different shades of red. The red colorway is a lovely counterpoint to the black-mist chrome accoutrements that adorn the body, as well as the bumpers, grille work, and Spirit of Ecstasy adorning the top of the Pantheon grille.

Inside the car, the woodwork was created by combining hundreds of wooden shapes, while the parquetry is comprised of an extraordinary 1,602 pieces of wood sourced from France. The latter is the most complex project ever undertaken by Rolls-Royce. It provides the perfect canvas on which to illustrate the ow of red rose petals that oat from fore to aft, even when the car is not in motion.

Rolls-Royce director of design Anders Warming and head of coachbuild design Alex Innes were both in attendance, pointing out the innumerable design touches that were put together to make La Rose Noire one-of-a-kind, yet recognizable.

The designers also collaborated with Audemars Piguet to create a special one-off timepiece that can be placed into its dash receptable as an in-car clock or which can be worn by the car owners. The 43mm Royal Oak Concept SplitSeconds Chronograph GMT Large Date runs on a unique self-winding Calibre 440 movement, with a yback chronograph and split-seconds mechanism.

It has red counters and a red inner bezel that both stand out against the black openworked dial that is highlighted with rhodium-toned bevels.

The company’s return to the coachbuilt era has been terrific for both the special customers who commission these beautiful vehicles — some of which can be seen at the most prestigious car shows in the world, such as Villa d’Este — and those of us who aren’t buyers yet still enjoy the gorgeous styling and workmanship emblematic of these exclusive cars. This latest series — the quartet of Droptails each is to be produced in its own variant — harken back to the time when time and money were not as important in the creating of these cars: achieving extraordinary results was paramount. @hauteauto HAUTE LIVING 37

THE MASTER COLLECTOR With an unparalleled reputation in the watch industry, Kevin O’Leary has a relationship with watches that transcends far beyond the dial — as time is Mr. Wonderful’s most valuable asset.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

PHOTOS ALBERTO GONZALEZ

KEVIN O’LEARY’S PASSION FOR WATCHES IS PALPABLE.

A brief digression: in mid-July, I connected with O’Leary a few weeks prior to our shoot to discuss the creative direction and story we wanted to tell. He was beaming with such enthusiasm about showing his watch collection in a new, fun way that for a moment, I thought he was going to burst through the phone. Fast forward to late August on our cover shoot with his beloved timepieces, and his passion practically became infectious.

Being in this industry, it’s clear that some collectors and enthusiasts were just destined for it — and I quickly discovered O’Leary is one of those folks.

His aptitude for watchmaking is a part of his early upbringing. When O’Leary was just a teenager around 15 years old, he moved to the watch capital of the world, Geneva, Switzerland. It was there he discovered the biggest players in the industry, which sat along the streets lining Lac Léman (or Lake Geneva). “Lake Geneva is where the watchmakers were, and where they still are today,” O’Leary explains. “I took a fascination with watchmaking in Geneva, and at that time, in the late 60s, there were remarkable dials I was beginning to learn about, in addition to the history of watchmaking. I developed a passion for watches, realizing they are an unusual piece of art,” he recalls.

There is a hint of nostalgia in O’ eary’s voice, while he also re ects on his early days in Geneva so fondly — as if it were yesterday. “We were just getting a man to the moon around this time, and Omega launched the Speedmaster, which was a watch selected by NASA to be worn in space,” O’ eary says as he references his first-ever watch. And yes, that is the Speedmaster that made history when worn by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon.

Some years later, his passion — and collection — has only grown.

“When starting a collection, most people go down the so-called ‘three horsemen’ path, which consists of the three core brands of every collector’s collection: Audemars Piguet, Rolex, and Patek Philippe,” O’Leary explains.

Indeed, these are the big three: think of the Patek Philippe World Time, the steel white-faced Daytona from Rolex, and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak as your founding fathers, if you will. However, O’Leary came to a point in his collecting career where he had reached great heights in the classic category from these three industry pillars. He began to question where he would go next.

The answer was simple: dials. “I got captured in the dials. I wanted to get more diversification in dials because what you see on your wrist — and what starts the conversation — is the dial. And the thing is, Patek has a look, Audemars Piguet has a look, and Rolex has a look. Those are dials I can spot from 20 feet away. I wanted to explore new watchmakers and new dials. For example, the F.P.Journe dials are unmistakable,” he suggests with a smile spreading across his face.

A proven expert in both watches and entrepreneurship who spends his time as an original “shark” on Shark Tank, evaluating and investing in dynamic business proposals, his strategic thinking has infiltrated his keen eye and mindset in watches. Ultimately, he has mastered the minutia of collecting through his investment in watches — emotionally, physically, and beyond.

“The thing about collecting,” he starts to explain, “is people always ask me how I am getting these pieces. So, I think it is important to cover this topic for collectors who are just starting to understand how it works. The @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 41

watch industry has not changed in 250 years. It has grown on the back of its collectors. Those who get into watches and spend a lifetime collecting are the backbone of the industry. And there are certain unwritten rules to follow,” O’Leary reveals.

It’s true; O’Leary is a man of his word. He is so serious about his unwavering commitment to not selling, trading, or bartering any of his watches that he confesses they will likely go with him when he dies (lightheartedly, of course), as he will undoubtedly need them in his afterlife. As they say, watch enthusiasts are die-hards.

All jokes aside, O’Leary is not wrong; this is the golden rule of watch collecting. And once you earn the watchmaker’s trust, the fun can be had.

“When I covet a piece, I let a brand know that a particular dial is of interest to me; however, I do not bug them or call them 40 times — I call once. At their election, they may eventually call me up one day and say they have that dial in North America, asking if I want to take it. My answer is always yes,” he admits.

A trendsetter nonetheless, he is excited about where the industry is headed at this very moment. “I am excited that even the most conservative watch companies — like Rolex and Patek — are getting more creative with their dials. For instance, the Rolex Day-Date Puzzle 42 HAUTE LIVING hautetime.com

Dial that ust dropped this year is off the charts,” he says with his passion shining through his words again. “That watch came right out of left field, causing a massive controversy among collectors. They thought Rolex was out of its mind, but I think it’s a brilliant move, bringing excitement to a classic.”

Spending the morning with a snippet of his collection, there is no denying his dials are special. From the Rolex “Eye of the Tiger” Daytona and the F.P.Journe Chronomètre Bleu to the same Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce “Rainbow” Messi was spotted wearing earlier this year, his repertoire is impressive.

With such a vast collection, I supposed it would be hard for O’Leary to pick ust one favorite. roving me right, he rattled off a few classics he simply could not live without like the Patek Ref. 5711, the Audemars Piguet Jumbo Royal Oak, and his F.P.Journe Chronomètre Bleu he wore during our interview. But watches that transcend into the mind-to-watch realm hold the most importance.

With season 15 of Shark Tank in full swing and a few other ventures in the queue (he teased a culinary endeavor on the horizon in Miami), we can’t wait to see which milestone he reaches next — in life… And on his wrist.

Grand Seiko Style Grand Seiko releases two sleek models within its Heritage Collection, paying tribute to the legendary Grand Seiko Style.

crowning achievements is the 44GS, which has left an indelible mark on the horological world since its introduction in 1967. This watch would become a beacon of the Grand Seiko Style. With its distinctive case, impeccable finishing, and captivating dial, the 44GS set new standards in watch design and craftsmanship.

In 2013, Grand Seiko paid homage to the iconic model by introducing a modern interpretation that retained the essence of the original, while adapting it to contemporary design, ensuring that the Grand Seiko legacy continued to thrive. It was a testament to the enduring appeal of the 44GS design. Then, in 2022, the watchmaker continued the evolution of the design by releasing a new mid-size variant. With a case diameter of 36.5mm, it became the smallest in the series. This introduction heralded a new era for the 44GS, catering to enthusiasts who appreciated its timeless aesthetics in a more compact form.

The culmination of this evolution arrives in the form of the SBGW297 and SBGW299, the latest additions to the Grand Seiko Heritage Collection. Both are distinguished as Master Shop models, a distinction that underscores the exceptional craftsmanship behind their creation. At 36.5mm in diameter, 11.6mm in thickness, and just 42.7mm in length from lug tip to lug tip, the cases of SBGW297 and SBGW299 are a nod to the proportions of the ‘67 original. These cases have been meticulously redesigned to maximize the potential of Grand Seiko’s slim, manual-winding Caliber 9S64.

The case finishing is accomplished using rand Seiko’s signature Zaratsu method — highly skilled artisans employ this technique to create mirror-polished surfaces that contrast seamlessly with areas adorned with Grand Seiko’s distinctive hairline finishing. Each step of this intricate process is performed by hand, requiring years to master.

In true Grand Seiko fashion, the dials of SBGW297 and SBGW299 are works of art. The former boasts a pristine white dial, while the latter features a captivating darkblue hue — both showcase a dramatic sunray pattern that dances elegantly with the interplay of light, creating a visual spectacle. The bezels, multi-faceted indexes, and hands have been carefully reimagined to complement the scaled-down dimensions. A box-shaped sapphire crystal protects the dial, infusing warmth into the design and connecting it to its midcentury predecessor.

Powering these timepieces is the Caliber 9S64, a mechanical manual-winding movement assembled by the skilled artisans of the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi. This movement undergoes rigorous testing in six positions over 17 days, exceeding the chronometer standard. It adheres to the Grand Seiko Standard of -3 to +5 seconds and boasts a 72-hour power reserve when fully wound.

In the world of horology, where heritage meets innovation, the Grand Seiko Heritage Collection SBGW297 and SBGW299 stand as timeless tributes to the 44GS legacy. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 43

Sizing Down The Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection welcomes a new 38mm size.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

PHOTOS COURTESY OF AUDEMARS PIGUET

IN AN UNEXPECTED NEWS CYCLE THIS FALL, AUDEMARS PIGUET

released a new 38mm case size to their iconic Code 11.59 collection.

At Watches & Wonders in March, we saw the smaller case size assert its dominance, so this smaller size addition doesn’t come as much of a surprise, yet we’re still here for the slimmer case size movement.

The 38mm Code 11.59 is introduced in two models that complement the collection’s existing 4 and 42mm offerings. Despite the reduced size, these two timepieces have retained the aesthetics that define the Code . collection. The case consists of an octagonal middle case, nestled within an extra-thin bezel, and a rounded caseback. The lugs, a hallmark of the collection’s design, showcase impeccable craftsmanship — the upper part is seamlessly welded to the bezel, while the lower portion aligns elegantly with the caseback.

This modern case design receives the same meticulous attention to detail as Audemars iguet’s renowned calibers, with a refined combination of satin-brushing and polished chamfers that accentuate its multifaceted architecture.

Building on the collection’s design evolution introduced earlier this year, the crown of the new 38mm models boasts shallower but more pronounced indentations, adding another layer of geometrical complexity to the case. The two 18-karat pink gold models add elegant contrasts to the collection. The first one features a dynamic purple dial complemented by a matching strap; the second one exudes a more understated yet brilliantly radiant ivory aesthetic.

The embossed dial, crafted in collaboration with Swiss guilloché craftsman Yann von Kaenel, presents a mesmerizing gradient structure.

Hundreds of tiny holes emanate from the dial’s center in a captivating wave-like pattern, creating mesmerizing color effects. To achieve the rich purple and ivory hues, a process known as PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is employed, preserving and enhancing the depth of the embossed pattern while maximizing the interplay of light. The new faceted and polished hour-markers and hands further accentuate the contrasts on the dial. For optimum legibility in low-light conditions, the hands are filled with luminescent coating.

At the heart of these watches is Audemars Piguet’s latest selfwinding movement, Calibre 5900. This movement, which made its debut in 2022 on select 37mm Royal Oak references, boasts a slim 4mm thickness, a high 4Hz frequency, and an impressive 60-hour power reserve. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail are visible through the sapphire caseback, which reveals the movement’s 22-karat pink gold oscillating weight and refined decorations adorning its components.

Each timepiece is paired with a “large square scale” alligator strap that matches the dial’s tone, secured by the collection’s new 18-karat pink gold pin buckle. Additionally, two rubber-coated straps — lined with calfskin leather and adorned with a textile pattern in ivory or purple hues — will be available exclusively in Audemars Piguet boutiques. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 45

In Sync Louis Vuitton collaborates with Akrivia’s Rexhep Rexhepi collection to create the perfect timepiece, the LVRR-01 Chronographe à Sonnerie.

IN PERHAPS ONE OF THE BIGGEST INDUSTRY PLOT TWISTS

of the year, ouis uitton and Akrivia designed a first-of-its-kind timepiece. At the helm of Louis Vuitton Watches, Jean Arnault has kept us on the edge of our seats with the release of his new design direction for the brand earlier this year. And if I could sum it up in two words, it would easily be, “fresh blood.” As the youngest Arnault, Jean has made his vision for the maison very clear: the collections will be clean, contemporary, and cool. And while the collaboration came as quite a surprise, Rexhep Rexhepi makes perfect sense.

The -0 Chronographe Sonnerie is a double-faced chronograph with a chiming complication. Showcasing each brand’s design ingenuity on their respective sides, it is a true standout. The -0 is not ust a feast for the eyes it’s an auditory delight, too. The watch houses a unique combination of complications: a chronograph, a sonnerie mechanism, and a tourbillon. While the integration of a chronograph and a striking mechanism has historical precedents in pocket watches, it’s a groundbreaking achievement in contemporary watchmaking. The chronograph functions are controlled by a pusher at two o’clock, with an acoustic reminder of elapsed time — a beautiful chime that sounds every minute.

What sets the -0 apart even further, is its movement design. Unlike conventional movements, the watch features an inverted caliber, with the chronograph and chiming mechanisms 46 HAUTE LIVING hautetime.com

visible on the front instead of the back. This ingenious design allows the wearer to admire the exquisite craftsmanship of the movement continuously. The movement features meticulous hand-applied decorations, such as anglage and black polishing, showcasing the highest levels of watchmaking expertise.

The platinum case of the -0 is a testament to both ouis Vuitton’s iconic Tambour shape and Rexhep Rexhepi’s recognizable design. The tall, sloping bezel and elegantly sculpted lugs draw inspiration from mid-century gentlemen’s wristwatches. Even the crown and chronograph pusher, with their seven-sided form, are handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, displaying the artistry that both brands bring to the table.

For me, one of the most intriguing aspects of this timepiece is the emblem that graces its sapphire dial. At first glance, it appears to be the conventional Louis Vuitton logo. But after closer inspection, it reveals a clever merging of the Louis Vuitton and Akrivia names, with “LV” subtly intertwined with “AKRIVIA.” The emblem represents not only the watch’s aesthetics, but also the historical link between the two brands. Indeed, this is the first time in ouis Vuitton’s history that its logo is combined with another brand’s — a symbol of the unique nature of this alliance.

The Art of Exploration Vacheron Constantin unveils a new 35mm self-winding Overseas to mark its latest “One of Not Many” campaign with artist and explorer Zaria Forman.

Vacheron Constantin as they broke the news, revealing the new 35mm self-winding Overseas. And while this timepiece is certainly a beauty and perfect addition to the Overseas collection — it is dressed in the opulence of pink gold from case to bracelet — it also tells a story.

The 35mm self-winding Overseas is not just a watch; it represents the essence of the Vacheron Constantin “One of Not Many” campaign, in collaboration with the artist and explorer Zaria Forman. Forman’s work is a testament to her dedication to exploring remote locations in nature — specifically Iceland — and capturing their beauty at that point in time. As I listened to Forman talking about her works, I immediately drew the parallel to Vacheron Constantin’s unwavering commitment to designing products that are inspired by the intricacies of nature.

Similar to Vacheron Constantin’s fascination with nature, Forman developed a deep love for landscape at an early age, becoming fascinated with the ever-evolving properties found in nature. “When you love something, you want to protect it,” Forman explained as we were wandering through Iceland. Forman’s works become ephemeral portraits of the landscapes we stand to loose; ultimately, freezing them in time.

Back to time — the new Overseas exudes a radiant personality, highlighted by its monochromatic design that plays with the warm re ections of pink gold, both in its case and bracelet. The dial, adorned with a sunburst satin-brushed finish and coated with transparent lacquer, radiates with a harmonious tone-on-tone brilliance that captivates the eye. A total of 90 diamonds, meticulously set on the six-sided bezel resembling the iconic Maltese cross, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the slim cuff-like profile of the watch.

Beyond its appearance, the watch houses a movement that guarantees exemplary reliability. Caliber 1088/1, the beating heart of this timepiece, comprises 144 components and operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, ensuring precise timekeeping. The inclusion of a stop-second mechanism enables accurate adjustments of time functions, a testament to Vacheron Constantin’s commitment to precision. The movement also boasts a generous 40-hour power reserve, ensuring that you stay on time no matter where your adventures take you.

A work of art from the inside out, the back of the self-winding Overseas features a meticulously decorated open caseback. The rear bridges feature exquisite Côtes de Genève, showcasing the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship. The emblematic rotor, sculpted in gold and adorned with a compass rose, adds a touch of wanderlust to evoke the spirit of travel and exploration.

Luxury brand Raffles has come to play in the States in a big way, opening its first North American property in Boston’s Back Bay. The 35-story, 147room, sustainable, new-build hotel represents the first mixed-use development for the 136-year-old Singaporean brand. The $400 million investment in the project is a reflection here: this LEED-certified building is a beautiful property, with a dramatic exterior sheathed in reflective glass — a tribute to its neighbor, the John Hancock Tower. Awardwinning hospitality design firm Stonehill Taylor drew inspiration from the city’s historic and cultural surroundings to imagine the locally inspired design.

Guests will notice details like copper accents (a nod to Paul Revere’s copper plating company), historical illustrations that adorn custom wall coverings, and greenery that references the window boxes found throughout the Back Bay. There are dramatic, unique touches throughout the hotel as well, chief among them a three-story sky lobby, a grand staircase that spirals through the atrium, and Writer’s Lounge, a signature of the Raffles brand.

Upscale dining experiences are available too. Guests can visit Amar, a Portuguese-Bostonian hybrid; Long Bar & Terrace, a Paolo Ferrari-designed lounge that pairs cocktails with sweeping views of the South End; and Blind Duck, a speakeasy that offers specially crafted cocktails and small bites.

There’s also a range of amenities, all of which have been designed by the world-renowned Rockwell Group: a state-of-the-art gym, a 66-foot pool, and a prestigious Guerlain Spa that features treatments of the renowned Parisian beauty and wellness brand.

Aman New York is one of those rare properties; the one that comes along once in a blue moon and makes such a significant impact that it has all of the world — never mind all of Manhattan — abuzz. The JeanMichel Gathy-designed property is nothing less than an oasis in the city, so quietly luxurious that it’s very nearly like not being in New York at all.

Yet, here it is: smack dab in the center, on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, two blocks away from Central Park, close to Broadway, Rockefeller Center, and more. Its 83 suites are among the largest in the city and inspired by the airy architecture of Aman’s properties in Southeast Asia. All suites offer a functioning fireplace and massive, opulent bathrooms with oval soaking tubs, marble rain showers, and double vanities. There’s so much to love here, from the personalized check-in processes and a house car — rare for New York — to a gratis minibar of decadent treats (excluding alcohol) and daily scheduled wellness activities. Speaking of which, its Aman Spa is a spot where relaxation is almost a prerequisite, with offerings meant to detox, ground, and energize. Dining outlets follow suit: the convivial Italian restaurant Arva, Japanese eatery Nama, and year-round outdoor Garden Terrace all offer breathtaking views of the Big Apple (the subterranean Jazz Club intentionally does not). The hotel now offers even more: a partnership with Leica provides options for a personal photoshoot; a session with a renowned fashion photographer and model gives an in-depth look at the industry; and a three-day workshop helps guests master portrait photography with renowned celebrity photographer Mark Mann. Also available are experiences with artists for one-on-one sit-down sessions, art historian guided city tours, and more. It’s the personalized touches that make this so magical — because where else would one expect to receive a hand-drawn, personalized art card after a special meal?

The opening of Fontainebleau Las Vegas is easily the biggest of the year, and I do mean in every way: scope, size, prestige, and fanfare. The hotel, which makes its debut this month on December 13, is a 67-story affair residing on nearly 25 acres of land at the end of the Las Vegas Strip with 3,644 luxury rooms and suites, 550,000 square feet of customizable meeting and convention space, more than 150,000 square feet of gaming space, a collection of world-class restaurants and shops, exquisite pools, vibrant nightlife, and vitality-enhancing spa and wellness offerings. It features designs and collaborations with some of the best players in the game: Carlos Zapata Studio, David Collins Studio, Rockwell Group, Lissoni & Partners, Jeff Leatham, Lifescapes, and Jeffrey Beers International, among others. The rooms and suites, as designed by an in-house team led by Fontainebleau Development’s John Rawlins, evoke an understated, timeless elegance in a color palette of blue and silver water tones with dashes of coral-pink, accented by mercury-glass mirrors and brass details. Silver-grey wood veneer, silver-leaf details, pearlescent shagreen inlaid surfaces, and Arabescato marble define the case-goods and other hard surfaces, while custom brass bowtie-shaped drawer-pulls represent both exquisite attention to detail and a nod to Fontainebleau’s history. The rooms also feature custom carpeting in a linear, Art Deco pattern of dove-grey and shades of blue that establish a geometric foundation for the assorted curvaceous furniture selections that rest upon it. As opulent as the rooms are, it’s the sheer scale of the F&B concepts that blow my mind: there will be 36 first-to-market restaurants and bars, which will open this year and continue to roll out through 2024. They include efforts by chefs such as Gabriela Cámara, Evan Funke, and Josh Capon, and restaurateurs inclusive of David Rodolitz, Alan Yau, and David Grutman, who will be debuting the Sin City versions of his Miami staples Komodo and Papi Steak. As if this wasn’t enough, there is a 14,000-square-foot fitness center and 55,000-square-foot spa with 44 treatment rooms, a purifying salt cave, healing infrared sauna and invigorating event sauna, his & hers hydrotherapy lounges, as well as a co-ed sensory room with communal healing waters. Additional resort amenities will include a 96,500-squarefoot luxury boutique retail district on the first two levels of the resort, a six-acre pool district, the LIV nightlife experience, and the forthcoming LIV BEACH daylife experience.

HOTEL PER LA

Los Angeles has been having a bit of a hotel renaissance in recent years, and this is apparent in Hotel Per La, the latest five-star stay to open downtown. As with many things in the area, what’s old has become new again. The hotel is housed in the former Giannini Place building, originally built in 1922 as the headquarters of the Bank of Italy. Reimagined by HN Capital Partners and Sage Hospitality Group, the property features 241 rooms and suites, as well as grand public spaces for guests and locals alike. The hotel includes 10,000 square feet of event space and an array of dining options such as Ristorante Per L’Ora, an upscale Italian restaurant; Café Ora, a daytime café; and Bar Clara, a rooftop bar offering poolside drinks and dramatic views of the LA skyline. “Per La” — “for the” in Italian — is a nod to the building’s Italian beginnings: its founder, Amadeo Pietro Giannini, believed in the dignity and abilities of those commonly overlooked, and as such, “Per La” means “for Los Angeles, and people like you.” Today, the 12-story property retains the building’s signature neoclassical architectural features. Doric columns, ornate gold and blue ceilings, and marble floors meet modern touches like airy linens, amorphic lighting, and pops of colors. The rooms are just as exquisite.

They feature European white oakwood floors and Persian rugs in vibrant colors alongside 4,000 vintage art pieces, original photographs, and illustrations from commissioned artists. The marble writing desks with settees and Europeanstyle bathrooms with Terrazzo floored walk-in showers or freestanding pedestal bathtubs complete the spaces. The addition of a heated rooftop pool makes this one to beat.

The newly opened St. Regis Chicago has a pretty impressive pedigree: the 101-story tower is the tallest building in the world designed by a female architect, and who wouldn’t be here for that? Beyond this unique selling point, its design is very creative, featuring a distinctive design made of an interconnected series of stacked, frustum-shaped towers that extend to various heights. The building’s crystalline form nods to the facets of a shimmering gem, with a gradient of greenblue glass inspired by nature, meant to be a reflection of the colors of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River.

Its 159 guestrooms and 33 suites, all designed by Gensler in a curated palette of natural stone and wood, follow suit on the nature front. In contrast, the hotel’s common spaces, spa, and Presidential Suite, designed

by KTGY Simeone Deary Design Group, are decorated in metallic materials and colors such as copper and rust.

Interwoven, geometric details and angular lines nod to the Great Chicago Fire as well as the city’s geographic interconnectivity of waterways, buildings, and green spaces. These modern elements are found throughout the hotel, from the fitness center, which overlooks the Chicago River and Navy Pier, to the palatial, heated indoor pool that offers stunning views of the city and Lake Michigan. Add in fabulous Japanese cuisine from the likes of chef Hisanobu Osaka, desserts courtesy of pastry chef Juan Gutierrez—winner of Netflix’s School of Chocolate — and a soon-to-openTuscan steakhouse in Tre Dita, the first venture outside of Los Angeles for award-winning chef Evan Funke; an amazing spa; and signature St. Regis experiences, including afternoon tea, evening champagne sabering, and butler service, and the St. Regis may very well become your new Chi-town go-to.

The new crowning jewel of Dallas’ 19-block Harwood District is Hôtel Swexan, a 134-room boutique concept that charmingly fuses the family-owned property’s Swiss heritage with quintessential Texan hospitality.

It is, indeed, where its rather unique name comes from, “Swexan” meaning “Swiss meets Texan.” The hotel has a serious pedigree as well: it’s located in a 22-story modern tower designed by world-renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who was not only recognized as one of Time magazine’s most influential people of 2021, but who is responsible for the Tokyo Olympic stadium, the new Rolex Building in Harwood District, and the LVMH headquarters in Japan. The mirrored structure exemplifies Kuma’s philosophy that buildings should enrich the connection between their architecture and the environment they’re in. And in the case of Hôtel Swexan, the interiors mirror the exterior, with art and design elements inspired by exploration and adventure drawing cues from various global cities inclusive of 100 different types of natural stones and woods and decorations of antique fireplace mantels from the 19th and 20th centuries. One of the hotel’s hallmark features is that every bathroom is one-of-akind, covered with different wallpapers, lighting, sink fixtures, floors, and tiling. There are also eight unique suites, five dining and drinking concepts, a private social club, and an expansive rooftop pool with panoramic views of the Dallas skyline.

Washington, D.C. has become an even trendier destination these days with the emergence of a Pendry hotel. Pendry Washington DC - The Wharf, the seventh in the brand’s portfolio, is in a prime position on the Potomac River, along the iconic mile-long waterfront playground destination known as The Wharf. Designed

by ODA with interiors by DesignAgency, this haute hotel has a timeless, European-inspired grandeur while still drawing inspiration from the iconic colonnades and limestone buildings the capital is known for. Its overall aesthetic is grounded by old-world flooring, metal detailing, and plush textiles, offset by light colors and a cozy, almost homey feel that is best presented in its top accommodation: the 1,852-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bathroom Pendry Suite. And, as with all Pendry properties, dining is a special affair. The hotel is home to three signature dining and bar concepts, inclusive of Moonraker, a rooftop restaurant and bar; Flora Flora, a Latin American-inspired brunch spot; and Bar Pendry, an intimate, richly designed space drenched in moody blue and crimson hues. It’s fully rounded by a curated modern art collection, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and the signature Spa Pendry.

PHOTO COURTESY OF 1 HOTEL NASHVILLE

1 Hotels, the sustainable luxury lifestyle brand founded by hospitality visionary Barry Sternlicht, has opened its first eco-focused property in Music City, and this LEED-certified hotel has really struck a chord with residents and visitors alike. A verdant ivy-covered facade and native landscaping evoke nearby natural attractions, from the bustle of the Cumberland River to the Great Smoky Mountains and the Natchez Trace, while still being a stone’s throw from the beating heart of Nashville and within walking distance of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Here, there are 215 rooms, including 61 suites, all of which feature rough-hewn poster beds and workbench-like vanities. Reclaimed wood-paneled walls are surrounded by the extensive use of organic and natural materials in the rooms, suites and other public areas. Sustainability-themed touchpoints include wooden room keys, an in-room water filtration system, tumblers and carafes made from recycled wine bottles, smart thermostats, and the 1 Less Thing year-round program that enables guests to leave behind gently used clothing items for 1 Hotel to donate to local organizations in need. The hotel also features three distinct dining concepts that reflect a commitment to simplicity, luxury, and sustainability. 1 Kitchen Nashville features farm-to-table cuisine from culinary director and Top Chef alum Chris Crary; Harriet’s Rooftop makes use of sustainable ingredients for a slew of cocktails, mocktails, and Asian-inspired bites; and Neighbors, a laid-back allday café. All of them implement a TRUE zero waste program, which encourages a more sustainable resource management across the property. Health and wellness are priorities here as well, with in-room yoga mats, as well as a Bamford Wellness Spa and an Anatomy fitness and yoga studio, both inspired by 1 Hotels’ mission to foster a closer relationship between people and nature.

NOBU HOTEL ATLANTA

When it comes to unparalleled quiet luxury, no one does it better than Nobu Matsuhisa and his business partners, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper. As such, their Nobu Hotel Atlanta, located in the Phipps Plaza’s luxury retail development within the prestigious Buckhead neighborhood, is as excellent as can be expected. Atlanta, Georgia’s capital, is known as the “city in a forest” because of its exceptionally lush canopy of trees such as magnolias, dogwoods, Southern pines, and oaks, which cover much of the city. The designers at Rockwell Group took inspiration from this verdant landscape as well as Japanese arts and crafts to create a design that echoes the ethos of Matsuhisa’s signature, world-renowned Japanese cuisine.

This means a property of 152 thoughtfully curated guest rooms — including 27 suites — that feature Japanese inspired décor, the largest of which is the Nobu Villa at 2,200 square feet of space. The most unique plae to stay is the 825-square-foot Porsche suite, a collaboration with the luxury auto brand whose US headquarters are in Atlanta. Here, guests will find best-in-class amenities consistent with Nobu’s signature style but customized for the Porsche minded-lifestyle inclusive of one-of-a-kind art pieces that pepper the spacious living area; sleek, Porsche-inspired décor; exclusive memorabilia that celebrates some of the brand’s key moments; and a selection of coffee table books that provide guests with an inside look into the notable brand. There’s also a Porsche house car available for guests — a Taycan — and the utterly cool Porsche experience, which includes a two-night stay in the Porsche Icon Suite, dinner for two at Nobu Atlanta, a Nobu champagne bottle inroom, a personalized Porsche robe to take home, and an omakase tasting for two. The hotel also features a Nobu restaurant of course, as well as a saltwater pool and 24-hour fitness center.

There’s no denying that Louis Vuitton is a pioneer in marrying the worlds of luxury fashion and travel, whether it’s with its original signature trunk or its latest travel photography collection. Louis Vuitton’s Fashion Eye Series has carved a niche where legends of the craft and emerging talents engage in an unprecedented dialogue. This extraordinary series confronts the contemporary with hidden archival treasures, resulting in a collection of visually captivating photography books set to become reference works.

Each title is a true masterpiece, entrusted with the hands of prominent, authoritative editors who guide readers through extensive imagery while sharing a glimpse of each photographer’s life through interviews and critical essays. Always celebrating the art of exploration, Louis Vuitton recently added three new titles to the series — Vienna by Stefanie Moshammer, Hong Kong by Frank Horvat, and Deauville by Omar Victor Diop, all providing a unique perspective.

Joining an impressive repertoire of cities ranging from Paris to Buenos Aires, the new Fashion Eye titles continue to redefine the relationship between fashion, photography, and travel.

Hong Kong, imagined by Italian-born French photographer Horvat, captures the bustling streets of the city to reveal its palpable energy through previously unpublished black-and-white images. Horvat’s project started in 1962, when he captured these images at a time shaped by an influx of Chinese refugees and British rule. Now historic in its own right, the imagery gives a glimpse at a bygone era of this dense city.

Moshammer’s Vienna offers a fresh take on her hometown, challenging clichés and presenting an unexpected portrait of the city. Her work transcends conventional storytelling, delving into the capital’s collective imagination and unraveling the mysteries of Vienna’s physical and mental landscape. It ultimately shapes a unique narrative that bridges past and present, providing a new perspective on the essence of the place.

Diop’s Deauville explores the iconic Normanic seaside town, drawing connections between the landscapes of the region and his native Dakar. A visionary photographer, Diop has consistently captured attention through his artistic amalgamation of color, atmosphere, composition, and fashion into compelling portrait photography. As part of the Fashion Eye Series, he embarked on a creative residency in Deauville, leading his project to expose the reshaping of the town’s architecture while projecting elements of his personal narrative and cultural influences.

ssa Rae has come a long way.

The 38-year-old actress, who most recently starred in Greta Gerwig’s cotton candy-colored comedy confection Barbie, initially rose to fame with her 2011 web series and accompanying New York Times best-seller The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, a witty, realistic portrayal of African American women in Los Angeles. But now, over a decade later, an entirely different epithet conveys where she’s at, both personally and professionally.

“I’m ambitious black girl,” she declares.

Rae, born Jo-Issa Rae Diop, isn’t joking. Since developing her platform, she’s leaped from strength to strength, both on-screen and off. She created and starred in the Peabody-award-winning HBO series Insecure, which garnered her multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. Her acclaimed follow-up series for Max, Rap Sh!t, debuted its second season on November 9. There was Barbie, which started a global cultural movement, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Sony’s highest-grossing animated debut in history.

On the business development side, she formed HOORAE in 2020, a multi-faceted media company that develops content across media to keep breaking boundaries in storytelling and representation. It’s comprised of OO AE Media for film, T , and digital its music label, music supervision, and “audio everywhere” arm, aedio and its management division, ColorCreative. She is also the co-owner of the A-based illtop Coffee Kitchen, and the Black-focused haircare line Sienna Naturals.

And now, she has yet another venture under her bubblegum pink Barbie belt: her very own prosecco brand, iarae.

The bubbly libation, which launched in October, is a collaboration with E. & J. Gallo Winery, a family-owned, ever-growing brand based out of Modesto, California, whose diverse range of 130 products includes sparkling and luxury wines, distilled spirits, and canned seltzers.

But for ae, iarae was a completely organic fit, born of her undying, ever-present love of prosecco. And I do specifically mean prosecco, not to be confused with champagne (which ae feels is too bougie) — a love affair that began even before BO greenlit her eabody award-winning T series, Insecure, which is based on Awkward Black Girl), in 2015. “[Prosecco] was introduced to me by someone that I ended up loving and respecting when I was going through the tumultuous journey of trying to get a show on BO. The development process was hard, and finding a director was even harder. When I finally found one [Melina Matsoukas, who was, at the time, best known for directing Beyoncé and Rihanna music videos], she took me for a sushi kickoff dinner at Matsuhisa Beverly ills, which felt so fancy to me. The first thing she ordered was a prosecco, and I was like, ‘What is that?’ She said, ‘Oh, you’ll see.’ So, I had it, and I fell in love with the drink.” [So much so that the writers of Insecure made her character, Issa Dee, similarly obsessed.]

But as much as she loved the sparkling drink, it wasn’t until she went to Italy that she decided to create her own brand. What she found was that, as with most worthwhile ventures, getting iarae going was not an easy task.

“It has been a ourney,” she begins. “I’ve been trying to get this off the ground for three years. I met with different companies, and some of them didn’t really understand my vision and why I chose prosecco. Some companies felt too small for what I wanted to be able to accomplish. And when 2020 happened, the companies that were interested had to fall back. But then Gallo came along, at a time when we really needed a partner that was 128 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

willing to step up. They didn’t question my desire to launch a prosecco: they just got it. They were able to step in and supercharge what we had already done. Plus, what they have access to in terms of distribution is crazy. They quite literally own the prosecco market. Until now, [the Gallo-owned] La Marca was my prosecco of choice.”

Luckily for Rae, there are some commonalities between her brand and her former favorite. iarae’s expressive, aromatic, and subtly dry style is comparable to La Marca, and it also happens to be grown in the same place — the picturesque northern Italian city of Treviso — with the very same 100 percent Glera grapes.

But to make the brand unique to her, iarae needed to capture ae’s own vivacious, sparkling spirit — the very spirit that eventually inspired her brand’s name. “There were so many options, but I wanted something Italian I wanted to respect the culture from which prosecco comes from.

I recommend prosecco so often that I fell in love with this name. In Italian, ‘via’ means ‘by way of.’ In that sense, I wanted [ iarae] to re ect that this is very much from me and approved by me.”

As such, Issa ae the person and iarae the brand are distinctly synonymous. “I would say I’m approachably luxurious, bright, and celebratory,” she says, explaining, “I feel like I live a pretty down-to-earth life, but I do like the finer things. I am optimistic, and while I’m not bright presenting, I am a bright person, and I do like celebrating every moment.”

She pauses, before saying, “My head is constantly down in terms of working and trying to achieve that next milestone, so sometimes I don’t look up often enough to think, I did that. While I need to practice that more, I do think prosecco has helped me in that respect. It’s afforded me the opportunity to celebrate myself, my life, and to learn not to be so hard on myself, on my losses or the things I didn’t achieve. Having the opportunity now to do that, to make the time to celebrate myself, is incredible.”

Speaking of celebrations, we all know that drinking alone is never as fun as convivially imbibing with others. Which is why all of Rae’s most memorable moments involve her nearest and dearest. “It became the drink that I would order whenever I had to celebrate a milestone, or even if I was just enjoying time with family or friends. I associate prosecco with my favorite moments,” she admits.

The most memorable of which, she says, (outside of her 2021 wedding to businessman Louis Diame) was the premiere of Insecure, which took place in New Orleans she was oined by her closeknit group of gal pals, who ew down to support. She remembers ordering her favorite drink, walking (stumbling) through the streets of the Big Easy, celebrating with her squad and loving life. A more current moment was a recent trip she and her girl gang took to her favorite place: Italy. It was a pivotal time as Rae made herself vulnerable to criticism, allowing her besties to try (and share their opinions on) iarae for the first time.

“My friends and I took an impromptu trip to Rome, and they had never tasted [my prosecco],” she recalls. “We were out on my hotel balcony, and I was nervous for them to try it. To them, it was a crime that they hadn’t.

When they did, I remember one of the girls saying, ‘I’m so glad this is good, because I didn’t want to have to be out here pretending.’ To have them taste it for the first time and approve it meant the world to me. They are so much of my foundation, and I wouldn’t be who I am today without them. To have my happy drink in Italy, my happy place, was everything.”

Because her friends are her inspiration, they are, ultimately, her key audience. “[ iarae] is for women. I always think about the Black woman first with anything I do, because that is my primary friend circle. But really, I think this is for anybody who’s ambitious, who wants to celebrate themselves, who wants to toast just because... and obviously, lovers of prosecco.”

It also sounds like something another star with a similar squad of friends might enjoy — despite her own “champagne problems.” Rae laughs, and says, “ ey, if Taylor Swift wants to drink iarae, then I’m not mad at that at all!”

have a burning question, and Issa Rae has the answer. What, specifically, is “yacht shit” It’s a conundrum that plagues me as I read through iarae’s press release. It closes with: “ et’s shamelessly indulge and taste what yacht shit is all about.” ae heartily laughs at my uestion before responding, “I remember tweeting, in maybe 20 , that I ust wanted to get on a yacht and do yacht shit with my friends. And then the next year, it came to a point where I was like, “Oh, wait, I can do yacht shit. I live in A, I can rent a boat, and I can do yacht shit with my friends.” So I did, and then invited a bunch of my friends and it became a way to let loose. It became an opportunity to meet new people, to dance on a boat during the day, and have a good time. It’s a party, ust a little kickback. I think I’ve done it four times now. [And] for me, it represents luxurious, uninhibited celebrations.” acht shit might not be a global thing yet, but if ae puts her mind into making it so, it will happen. I am a witness to her drive, and it is both exhausting and inspiring. When she tells me she’s only drawn to things she’s passionate about, I think, “Thank goodness” and, simultaneously, “She must be passionate about a lot.”

This drive, she says, started during her undergrad years at Stanford University, from which she graduated in 200 with a Bachelor of Arts in African and African American Studies. “I was by myself and put in an environment where I was forced to make a name for myself — make something of myself and decide who I wanted to be what I ultimately wanted to do. It was the best place to encourage collaboration. I used to be very competitive, and I think it was instilled in me to like one or two things by myself because then, you get the credit for it. ou can’t rely on people that’s ust not been my experience. es, I’ve had bad personal work experiences, but generally, I have such a good eye for what people are capable of and what we can do together. I put my first play on in college because I watched somebody else do it. I have a mentality that’s like, ‘I can do it, too.’”

Take iarae as ust the most recent example. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do that seemed fun, is fun, and has been fun, so it doesn’t feel like work at all. Meeting sales reps and traveling is work, but it’s also fun because you get to talk about wine, drink it with people, and hear about their love of it. lus, I’m learning so much, too.”

That said, the reason she’s all lit about by this latest venture is because she’s enthusiastic about it, because it’s a natural fit. ou’ll never see Issa ae hawking motor oil — it’s ust not on brand.

“It has to be organic,” she explains, sharing that her partnership with illtop Coffee itchen came to be because she wrote in coffee shops. She didn’t have one in her neighborhood, so she built one. Similarly, finding the right natural haircare products — and helping her sister-in-law expand the Sienna Naturals brand — has been part of her ourney. Coming from a web-based background and knowing what it was like not to have the resources to take her career to the next level was her impetus for creating ColorCreative, with an eye towards not only discovering talent, but helping them navigate the industry and providing them with opportunities and connections to do so. Even the decision to set up OO AE’s head uarters in the heart of South A — where she’s from — was intentional.

“All of these companies were born from things that I’m already doing, or things that I want and want to be involved in. They feel like extensions, as opposed to laborious new businesses and separate entities,” she explains.

“I don’t want to ust be out there putting my name on everything and doing anything. It has to feel special to me. I want to do more that fits, that I can’t resist not doing. So maybe there are more collaborations in me, but for the most part, I’m a writer, a storyteller, and if [something doesn’t] contribute to that, then, to me, it’s not worth doing. So, my focus right now is the next pro ect I want to put on the screen the next big story I want to lend my name to what I have to say about the world and the culture right now.” ae says that she has a few pro ects in the works. “[I want to be] very specific about what I put out there because there are more eyes on me now. Initially, people were more forgiving. But now that there are eyes and expectations, I have to be a bit more careful and intentional about what it is that I want to put out next. I do have that next thing, I think, on the T side, and I really want [to find] that next thing on the film side.”

Which is how we get to where Issa ae is now: in her era of ambitious black girl.

“I think I’m an ambitious black girl now because I know that there’s so much more that I have to do in the storytelling space that I have not done yet. In that way, and in navigating this industry that’s rapidly changing, I’m trying to find the different modes in the same way that I did 2 years ago with Awkward Black Girl. Back then, nobody was taking my scripts, I couldn’t find representation. Even now, while I’m in a much different and privileged place, there’s still something bursting in me to do more and to tell more stories. But now, I’m thinking: what’s going to be that right story ” I don’t have the answer Issa is seeking, but I do know this much: she will figure it out, and she’ll have a glass of prosecco in hand and a smile on her face while doing so. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 129

The Power Couple of Cognac Cyril and Alexa Camus are continuing to build a family legacy with their luxurious cognac brand, Camus.

CAMUS, T HE LA R GES T FA MI LY- OW N E D IND E P E ND E NT

cognac house, has been in existence since 8 . Now, five generations later, its owners, board president and CEO Cyril Camus and his wife, board vice president Alexa Camus, have taken over, effectively passing on the passion, heritage, tradition, know-how, and excellence behind the brand. ere, this power couple discuss the company’s heritage, as well as its past, present, and future ahead of its latest launch: the Cuv e 4. 8 Electrum, the th edition from the Cuv e Masterpiece Collection.

Entrepreneurship and family are clearly key pillars in your life. Can you talk about your family history, your lineage, and what made you want to take over the family business?

Cyril: The history of the Camus family in the cognac business is a rich and storied one, spanning five generations, and it’s a legacy that I’m both proud and honored to carry forward. My great-great-grandfather, Jean-Baptiste Camus, founded the company in 8 , in the heart of the Cognac region. Since then, each generation of our family has played a role in expanding our brand. rowing up, I was immersed in the world of cognac. From a young age, I spent time in our family vineyards, witnessed the delicate art of distillation, and learned the craft of blending and aging cognac. As I continued to learn about the family business and the cognac industry, I wanted to take on the responsibility of carrying our legacy.

The prospect of preserving and expanding the Camus brand was both a privilege and a challenge I eagerly embraced. I am committed to honoring our heritage while ensuring that Camus remains a symbol of uality and tradition for generations to come.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CAMUS

Maintaining a family business for over 160 years is a remarkable achievement. What do you think has been the key to Camus’ longevity and success through five generations?

Cyril: We have kept five key pillars at the center of everything we do: passion, ambition, determination, perfectionism, and sincerity. It is my ob to transpose those values in everything we do at Camus. We have a fierce commitment to tradition a passion for uality a spirit of innovation and adaptation strong family values a global vision and long term perspective. It’s the harmonious balance of these elements that has allowed us to maintain our position as the world’s largest family-owned independent cognac house.

Your focus on luxury has been instrumental in shaping Camus’ direction. Can you elaborate on this journey?

Alexa: Cyril and I found ourselves at the intersection of two distinct cultural backgrounds. While France is known to be the birthplace of luxury, its cultural inclination toward understatement has historically tempered conspicuous consumption. On the other hand, my experiences in Eastern Europe and China have shown me the close connection between status and luxury, and how indulging in luxury goods often serves as a statement of individuality and uni ueness. My background in luxury and global markets has been pivotal in continuing to elevate Camus’ luxury portfolio.

You are completely a power couple of cognac. How do you approach business and pleasure, as well as mixing your personal life with your professional one?

Cyril: For us, it’s truly about combining business and pleasure. We are both laser-focused on our business. It is a shared passion that brings us pleasure.

Alexa: Operating a family business is a uni ue ourney where life and business harmoniously intertwine, often blurring the lines between the two. This phenomenon has given us a hyper-dynamic lifestyle, but I absolutely love it. One day, we find ourselves in New ork at a high-profile business event, and the next, we’re in aris attending a glamorous gala. We also had the pleasure of hosting the Chinese ambassador to France and former prime minister of France. As I et off to China to participate in a business forum as a keynote speaker, Cyril heads to Boston. It often feels like we can accomplish twice as much in the same period.

The sky is clearly the limit when you and your partner share the same vision. Where do you see Camus going in the next five years?

Alexa: In the next five years, Camus is poised to reach new heights and redefine what it means to be a luxury cognac house. Our primary goal remains to craft the world’s finest cognac. Our vision extends beyond being a prestigious cognac house: we’re evolving into a true luxury brand that happens to create exceptional cognac. The pinnacle of this evolution is our upper line of Camus cognacs, which are collectible works of art.

We’re planning to expand this exclusive range, offering connoisseurs even more options. To add an extra layer of artistry, we’ve established the Camus Atelier. There, our master craftsmen create bespoke pieces that are akin to haute couture in the world of spirits. andmade leather goods, precious metals, and gemstones come together to produce uni ue and breathtaking creation, often one of a kind, with a waiting list of six to eight months. One exciting development is in aikou, where we’ve unveiled the largest duty free cognac gallery. This immersive space showcases the Camus brand while offering a uni ue experience to visitors. We also opened the Camus esidence, an opulent private apartment nestled in the heart of aris. We now have exciting plans to establish more “brand temples” in key markets over the next five years.

The only thing I can share is that the next one will be a sustainable green pro ect in a tropical location, imagined by a renowned architect.

Cyril: We see Camus cognac continuing to expand its global presence and uphold its reputation for luxury and uality. We recently finished a new space in aris — Camus esidence — which will be another way for consumers to immerse themselves in the world of Camus. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 133

The Multifaceted World of Carly Cushnie: Design, Motherhood, and Inspiration

BY MARY GIBSON

NEW YORK-BASED CREATIVE DESIGNER AND DIRECTOR CARLY CUSHNIE

EXPLORING NEW FRONTIERS: WHAT’S NEXT? I find it fascinating how various design modalities are intricately interconnected. Over the past couple of years, I’ve relished the opportunity to expand my creative horizons by delving into diverse pro ects. Whether it’s been venturing into interior design, tackling exciting fashion endeavors, or even collaborating on costume designs with the American Ballet Theatre, I’ve found it incredibly invigorating to embrace this creative freedom.

Currently, I’m embarking on a venture in a completely new category, and the process has been nothing short of thrilling. It’s a pro ect that will weave together all the different design passions in my life, allowing me to stretch my creativity even further. Additionally, I have some very exciting partnerships in the pipeline, set to be unveiled in early 2024.

WISDOM FOR FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS everage your network for guidance, especially in areas where you lack knowledge. It’s something I remind myself of constantly because most people are genuinely willing to share their experiences and insights. ou can learn immensely from them. owever, it’s e ually crucial to strike a balance between external advice and your own intuition — it should serve as your guiding star, but there are moments when seeking help is necessary.

Trust your intuition and know when it’s time to ask for assistance.

BALANCING ACT: MOTHERHOOD & ENTREPRENEUR Balance, unfortunately, doesn’t exist in a perfect split between work and motherhood. We are constantly faced with the challenging decision of prioritizing either work or family in a given moment, and fully committing to that choice. It’s a tough uggling act, made even more complex by other facets of life like romantic relationships, friendships, and personal wellbeing. As working mothers, we must grant ourselves the grace we deserve and take pride in our ability to handle the multitude of responsibilities we carry on a daily basis.

UNEARTHING INSPIRATION

SELF-CARE RITUALS

As a designer, my eyes are always peeled for inspiration because creativity doesn’t always strike on command. So, I make a conscious effort to gather sources of inspiration that I can tap into when a pro ect arises. Each pro ect is uni ue and warrants its own research and exploration, but revisiting things that have piqued my interest over time can ignite fresh creativity.

Inspiration can strike from anywhere, whether it’s during travels, while watching a movie, encountering an artwork, or simply strolling down the street. I take note of these moments and store them away for future reference or specific pro ects.

Taking care of myself has become a priority, as it enables me to be the best version of myself, both for my family and my work. Daily exercise is a cornerstone for me, even if it’s ust a uick 20-minute workout with a ilates online class or a eloton ride at home. Acupuncture has been a game-changer, and I notice a significant difference when I’ve been neglecting it. I also indulge in massages and make use of the infrared sauna when I can. For facials, I turn to Joanna argas, and I occasionally visit Ever Body or Tribeca MedSpa for ydraFacials. Self-care rituals like these help me stay refreshed and revitalized amidst my busy schedule.
