AFTER MOVING TO MIAMI AND BECOMING A GIRL DAD, KEVIN LOVE HAS REALIZED NEVER TO TAKE TIME FOR GRANTED.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

STYLING COURTNEY MAYS

GROOMING CESAR FERRETTE

SHOT ON LOCATION AT THE MAYFAIR HOUSE HOTEL & GARDEN

here are many things Kevin Love is good at, but for the nephew of Beach Boys co-founder Mike Love, music is — surprisingly and self-admittedly — not one of them.

“I am not musically inclined,” the five-time NBA All-Star, FIBA World Champion, and Olympian, admits on a late Monday afternoon in May after having casually tickled the ivories earlier in the day during our cover shoot at Coconut Grove’s Mayfair House Hotel & Garden. “I tried to pick it up when I was playing in Minnesota; I had a teacher for a couple of years, but then, when I left for Cleveland, I didn’t have the time. But that’s the way sports go. You move from a city, and you have to start anew.”

Love isn’t bemoaning his lot in life or his lack of musical talent. It’s the path he chose to follow after all, a path modeled not after his uncle but his father, former NBA star Stan Love — and in more ways than the obvious one.

To demonstrate this, Love picks up two of the four Leica cameras he takes with him everywhere he goes. “I think the best quality that I picked up from my father at a very early age — and something that I still thank him for to this day — was that he always had a camera on him,” he confides. “I have my Leicas — plural — with me because different cameras capture moments differently. I really make it a point to be off my phone in the off-season, but these allow me to live in the moment and capture that moment right away. There’s a lot of intention behind it.”

The 35-year-old athlete has been snapping up a storm lately, documenting his now-one-year-old daughter’s first year. One of his cameras prints instant pictures, which he uses as bookmarks. He shows me his work; they’re gorgeous, and all of his little girl (whose name he and Canadian supermodel wife Kate Love née Bock have not yet shared publicly). He also recently created a beautiful black and white family portrait for agent Jeff Schwartz and his wife as a Mother’s Day gift.

He does this because it’s an artistic outlet and also, in part, because it helps him with his pursuit of living in the moment. While he’s still connected, he isn’t on his phone, and that’s one big “W” for a man who’s used to winning.

“You see it so many times. LeBron (James) is getting his 40,000th point or you’re at a concert but not taking it in. Everyone wants to capture that moment for their friends, or to put it on social media, like ‘Look at the cool life that I live’ instead of just absorbing it. With so many of those videos that you take, it feels so meaningful to capture that moment. But the reality is, you’re probably never going to watch it again, and at the same time, you’re forgetting to really be present, not truly living in the moment, and denying yourself an actual memory,” he says.

This —living in the moment — is something that Love has been actively working on for years, and the results of his efforts are obvious. He presents as sensitive, thoughtful, and supremely intelligent — emotionally and otherwise. The word that comes to mind when I look at the 6’8,” blue-eyed, two-time member of the All-NBA Second Team is “evolved.” Which is how

he prefers to see himself, too. Love is on a continuous quest to be his best self — the best husband, father, and person that he can possibly be.

This path of progression is one that Love was on long before moving to Miami and playing for the Heat, becoming a father in 2023, and before marrying his longtime love in 2022. His pursuit of greatness started well after his professional career began with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2008, when he emerged as one of the league’s premier power forwards, earning multiple All-Star selections; before he established himself as a double-double machine; and before he won gold medals at the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Summer Olympics. It actually began during the early years of his tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he played from 2014 to 2023, and, during that time, helped to secure the franchise’s first-ever NBA title alongside then-teammates LeBron James and Kyrie Irving.

He remembers the day his journey began well. It was on November 5, 2018, that he could no longer hide the storm inside him: he had a full-blown (and well-documented) panic attack on the court during a game against the Orlando Magic.

“In a lot of ways [I found emotional intelligence] because a very public mental health moment happened to me within what I thought was a safe space — on the basketball court. I had a panic attack that I’ve spoken very openly about. I wouldn’t say that I was pushed into talking about the moment, but I had a feeling, or maybe it was intuition, that I needed to share my story before somebody else did. I wanted to take ownership of it. At the same time, [fellow NBA player] DeMar DeRozan had tweeted something about his depression, so I thought, OK. That was accepted, obviously, and it was something scary that he did. There’s a lot of rumblings about my situation, so you need to do something about it. I wanted to be able to tell my story and peel back a layer of something I deal with on a daily basis.”

Love then courageously penned a powerful essay for The Players’ Tribune, detailing his struggles with anxiety and depression, which sparked a national conversation about mental health in professional sports. He has never regretted it, though it was terrifying at the time.

“I felt it was necessary for me not to live scared, not to live in the shadows. But at the time, I didn’t want anyone seeing me like that. It’s vulnerable, it’s scary, it’s not what athletes at my level are expected to be. We’re expected to be superhuman, puffing out our chests and wearing armor, because sports, on the men’s side, are so hyper-masculine. I was worried that the game was going to be taken away from me, that my livelihood would be in jeopardy, that my teammates wouldn’t trust me anymore. But I had to take the mentality that if I live my life out in the open, you can’t use me against me. This is what you get.”

His bravery was rewarded with overwhelming support, inclusive of the teammates he was so sure would discredit him. “They didn’t think less of

“I FELT IT WAS NECESSARY FOR ME NOT TO LIVE SCARED, NOT TO LIVE IN THE SHADOWS.”

me,” he recalls now. “Many of them approached me, in fact, in a good way. I remember, we were on a five-game road trip, a West Coast swing — a big trip for us. [The morning I released the story], a lot of my teammates approached me about it [and I found that] it was widely accepted. It opened up a conversation, not just from the sports community, but the community at large, which I’ve got to say, wasn’t something I expected. People started sharing their stories, people that I would never have guessed were dealing with similar issues. It was very eye-opening. At the same time, for me, it was very therapeutic, because I think people wanted to be part of something larger than themselves.”

The realization that he was not alone propelled him to launch the Kevin Love Fund (KLF) that same year, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting mental health education and providing resources for those in need. In the years since its inception, the nonprofit has introduced several impactful programs, including a free evidence-based SEL curriculum tailored to middle school, high school, and college students, which is now being taught to over 55,000 students in more than 500 schools in all 50 states, as well as internationally in West Africa, Ukraine, India, and more. The fund recently partnered with SONY and the Spider-verse to inspire young adults to find their hero within as Love himself did — and have open conversations about their struggles. The new lesson plan, developed by the KLF education team, encouraged students to share a challenging experience by writing and illustrating their own series of storyboard panels, similar to the way the team behind the short film used storyboards to develop The Spider Within.

As a result of his work with the fund, Love has been awarded the ESPY Arthur Ashe Courage Award, Change Maker Award by the Child Mind Institute, and the NBA Cares Assist Award. He was also an ESPY Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award finalist due to his work in the mental health space.

Love is understandably pleased by the progress he’s made, sharing, “[Since we started] we’ve been able to teach emotional learning and model vulnerability within the classroom and now, these kids are able to learn emotional language at an early age. I certainly didn’t have that, especially as a young boy. I was taught to suppress it. I was taught to compartmentalize.” But through the foundation, and his own strength of will, he’s found grace. “I think the fact that we’re able to speak about mental health issues and eliminate the stigma is a beautiful thing, and a much needed one, too, because everyone is going through something in some capacity, and I love being able to make a difference and impact in people’s lives. It’s an exciting moment in time, and I’m proud to be part of it.”

On the flip side, in sharing his story, in creating his foundation, Love’s own life has also changed for the better. “I’m so much more comfortable in my own skin now,” he confesses. “I’m still doing the work, because this type of acute, high-level anxiety doesn’t just go away. I still take medication and I probably always will. It’s not something that’s like, ‘It’s gone, it’s out of me, I’ve absolved myself of any mental health type of challenges’ — no. It’s more that I’ve changed my relationship with it, attacked it head on, and have been proactive rather than reactive. Now, I own it so I can disown it.”

He adds, “I tried to push it away and suppress it in some very unhealthy ways for too long. Just being able to understand that I’m not perfect and that I’m always going to be a work in progress is a very comforting feeling.”

evin Love has admitted that he’s leaning into his emotional side, and that’s true for a multitude of reasons, all of which bring him back to the same, exact spot: contentment.

After six years in Minnesota and nine in Ohio, he’s loving life in the Sunshine State, in part because he’s able to soak up all of that happinessinducing vitamin D. “I grew up in Portland, Oregon, and the weather definitely takes its toll on you and affects your mood, especially if you’re already dealing with something. For me, it was an unbelievable place to grow up, just pure beauty everywhere you look, but it does rain for two months straight.”

Although Love declares that he, well, loves his home state’s weather, Miami is definitely the better fit for his current situation. “Just being able to open the door in the winter months is pretty amazing,” he admits. “[My wife and I] are homebodies anyway; we don’t stray too far from the house. So being here in that respect has been a great change of pace. And playing basketball here, with such a storied franchise, an organization that I’ve admired for a really long time, has been a special part of my career as well. I’m definitely very happy here. Life is good.”

A pessimist might say that things could always be better — the Heat could have taken home the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy during his debut year with the team, say — but truly, he has no complaints… other than, well, that. “For me, honestly, always winning a championship is the goal,” he says. “This is such a storied franchise that traditionally gets the best out of the team that they put on the floor — the best out of every player — whether it’s a superstar, a two-way player, a rookie, or a guy that’s in year 16, so anything less than a championship isn’t [ideal].”

Clearly, Love isn’t the only one who feels this way [everyone knows how Jimmy Buckets feels about losing] — and that goes doubly or even triply so for Heat president and NBA legend Pat Riley. “I was talking to Pat this year, and he says that there’s been nine times in history that he’s been happy, and every other season he’s been miserable,” Love continues. “He’s been a player, a coach, a general manager for maybe over 50 years now, and he said, ‘Only nine times did we go all the way and hoist the trophy; the other times were misery.’ He always says there’s winning and there’s misery.”

Love doesn’t see life that way, though, as much as he admires and respects “The Godfather.” “I certainly think that there’s a lot to gain from seeing where we fell short, and understanding that injuries play a role and take their toll within the team — which you saw this year with the playoffs. But being better throughout the regular season, trending in the right direction, and being healthy around the playoffs is a great goal and very conducive to winning. I’m hopeful that we have a little bit more luck on our side in the future in terms of guys being hurt and missing games, because we had the injury bug this year, unfortunately.”

There’s no way of preventing hurt from happening in professional sports, but Love is still giving it his best shot by keeping healthy and consistently working out — which isn’t a hardship because he’s always had a love affair with the gym, bless him. “I attack my off-seasons; I actually do more work, but I do it efficiently,” he declares, noting, “Going to the gym ticks so many boxes for me. I always say that a good body and brain helps my sport, but it’s a dopamine/serotonin release for me as well. I try to swallow the frog — do the hardest thing — first thing in the morning. I’ll hang with my daughter and have our little routine while I have my coffee, get to watch her and play with her, and then I go right into working out while she’s sleeping.”

But even with his love of the game (and the gym), what keeps him going is taking a mental break from it all. In the past, that was predominantly through travel, wandering the world in pursuit of the best bottle of wine and the most luxurious of adventures, but now that he’s both a husband

and a father, that looks more like spending time with his family at their summer home in the Hamptons or hanging out with friends on the west coast, like former team member and best friend Channing Frye, whom he co-founded the Willamette Valley, Oregon-based Chosen Family Wines with in 2016.

“It’s really important to take that mental break, and really take time off. That can be from the sport, but also, just being away from your phone, focusing on being human. And honestly, I think that’s what has allowed me to play for so many years — being able to find balance. I think time flies because it feels like every second, every moment is accounted for.”

He’s feeling the passage of time more keenly now than ever thanks to his daughter. “Being a father has been life changing. People always told me that my firstborn would change my idea of love, and that’s true. And living your life completely for somebody else is definitely scary — but it’s also very exciting, and looking at my baby grow has completely changed my understanding and conception of time. I’d come back from a road trip after 10 days, and she’d be different. It’s so hard to fathom how fast she changes.”

Because of his daughter’s growth, the passage of time is an ever-present thought, a thought of which he shares now. “Time isn’t elastic; it’s finite, and I think that you do everything that you can to stretch it when you understand what’s at stake. And I know that seems dramatic,” he admits, “but you don’t want to look back at life. It’s inaction that is the starting point and the baseline of regret.”

Social media doesn’t help. Rather direly, Instagram recently warned him that he only has 18 total summers with his child left before she flies the nest. But instead of stressing him out, he says it gave him food for thought. “I think it’s really sad, but it also gave me perspective to try to find balance, and just stay present, which, I think, are the two hardest things to do in life. Our daughter has certainly made me comprehend and understand that better.”

Oftentimes, he admits, the realization of how quickly she’s changing even brings him to tears. “I’ve become such a wet person,” he confesses. “I’ll be giving her a bottle at night before I put her down to sleep, and I’ll just be in tears. Where did they come from?”

It’s a good thing, then, that Love has truly learned to embrace his emotional side and refuses to shy away from his feelings. “I think a good cry is really healthy,” he insists. “All these emotions are super healthy. They come from a great place and are very authentic. I’m feeling what I’m feeling, and I’m leaning into it.”

Even when that means dredging up things he’d rather forget. “Sometimes, you start thinking about the past, and then you start thinking about regret, and start feeling all these emotions. For me, regret is very much tied up in inaction rather than action. And I’m like, that’s not going to be me now.”

The Love of right now is practicing authenticity, grace, and humility. He wants to be a worthy husband and father (to both his human daughter and his four-legged one, Hungarian Vizsla Vestry, whom he refers to as his “first daughter” and who even has her own Instagram account), do right by his team, his foundation, and by the people who rely on him. “My purpose in life right now is my daughter, my wife, and my dog, and my career of course. I want to do right by the people who matter most, because everything I’m doing, I’m doing for them,” he says.

This is his personal evolution. The self-proclaimed work in progress is going to keep on going, and growing. “Even in the last year, I just feel like I’ve changed a lot,” he shares, noting, “In some ways, I’m very proud of that — but the job’s not finished yet.” He pauses. “Within your life, every couple of years, you look back and you’re like, wow, I didn’t know anything. And I think that’s a beautiful thing.”

THE DEFINITION OF HAUTE CUISINE

A tête-à-tête with Alain Ducasse, the most decorated living chef in the world.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

ALAIN DUCASSE MEANS EVERYTHING TO THE WORLD OF haute cuisine. With 19 Michelin stars to his name, he is the most decorated living chef in the world — the first, in fact, to have held three Michelin stars for three restaurants in three different countries. Haute Living had the opportunity to sit down with the French-born master in advance of his allstar appearance at this year’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards ceremony — which will be held on June 6 in Las Vegas — where he’ll be hosting an intimate dinner at his fine dining concept, Rivea, located at Delano Las Vegas. Here, we chat about everything from his favorite Michelin star peers to his guiltiest of pleasures.

How do you feel about Las Vegas as a culinary destination? Has its place evolved? Has it become a player, in your opinion?

Yes, definitely. The city attracts a host of excellent chefs and has an impressive number of very good venues.

You have 34 restaurants, 19 Michelin stars, culinary schools, chocolate, and biscuit artisan factories. You’re the most decorated chef in the world. What awards are the most significant to you?

There is only one significant reward: the one coming from the clients. As long as we can offer our guests a memorable moment of happiness, all our efforts are rewarded.

Do you still find the joy in cooking?

Today, I feel the same passion than the one I had in the early days of my career. Maybe even more, as today, my role is to be the art director of my restaurants, the culinary designer. It’s the most exciting part of the job — looking for ideas and talents and helping them blossom.

What still surprises you about the culinary world?

Everything! First and foremost, the tremendous vitality of the global culinary scene. Talents are everywhere; the level of the culinary offering is higher and higher, and the interest in food is always expanding.

What fellow Michelin-starred chefs do you support on a regular basis? I very frequently meet colleagues, be it at professional events or just for fun. Recently, Daniel Humm and I organized a four-hand event that took place at his restaurant Eleven Madison Park in New York, and mine at Le Meurice in Paris.

When you’re at home, what are you eating or drinking?

Since I’m constantly eating and tasting — it’s my job! — I have a very light diet at home.

What junk food is your guilty pleasure?

Chocolate! But I created the “Manufacture de Chocolat” in Paris, which produces high-quality chocolate, starting from the cocoa beans and following a traditional, artisanal process. It’s a delicious treat.

How often do you have time to check out other restaurants? When you do, what do you gravitate towards?

Frequently. For instance, when I’m traveling out of France, I always ask my local team to give me a few addresses. I always look for diversity in terms of styles of restaurants and emerging talents.

To you, what is the greatest luxury in life and why? Freedom. The freedom of doing what I love and the freedom of spending time meeting great people.

LEATHER LEGACY

Dior has once again set a new industry standard for leather with the debut of the Dior Gravity leather by Kim Jones, woven in the Dior Fall 2024 Men’s collection. Featuring the emblematic Dior Oblique motif in two variations — the original scale for small leather goods and the maxi version for bags — the material is seen throughout the collection in shades of beige, black, and khaki on signature styles like the Weekender travel bag, card holders, B33 and B27 sneakers, and messenger bags.

FOR THE PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES, LOUIS VUITTON UNVEILS ITS MEDALS AND TORCHES TRUNKS.

The highly anticipated 2024 summer Olympic and Paralympic Games are officially a few weeks away, placing all attention on Paris. In celebration of LVMH’s Premium Partnership with Paris 2024, it is only fitting that Louis Vuitton has designed two Medals Trunks to hold the medals of both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, along with two Torches Trunks. These creations are integral to the Maison’s mission for Paris 2024, continuing its legacy of crafting handmade trunks. The latter will play a central role throughout key moments of the Games, including the Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays, and will be prominently showcased at the Champions Park.

THE MEDALS TRUNK

The Paris 2024 Medals Trunks have been meticulously designed to protect, display, and showcase the coveted medals crafted by LVMH’s Maison Chaumet. They are adorned with the iconic Monogram canvas and feature brass corners and closures reminiscent of Louis Vuitton trunks from the 1850s. Inspired by the Maison’s renowned Malle Coiffeuse, the Medals Trunks have a central section and two hinged “wings” that open to reveal drawers specially designed to hold 468 medals. The interior is lined with black matte leather — also used for the drawer handles — and includes subtle embossed logos of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

THE TORCHES TRUNK

Drawing on Louis Vuitton’s 170 years of expertise in the art of travel, the Louis Vuitton Torches Trunks are crafted to elegantly protect and display the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Torches as they journey across France. The Olympic Torch will arrived in Marseille on May 8, and the Paralympic Torch will come from Stoke Mandeville in the UK in August. Created by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur, these torches will pass through the hands of over 11,000 torchbearers en route to Paris. The trunks are ingeniously designed with circular “sockets” in the base and lid to hold the torches securely. The interior, lined with soft black matte leather, further protects the torches. Each trunk can be transformed into a presentation case by unfolding the doors and reversing the “socket” in the lid to reveal an embossed Paris 2024 logo. The exterior of the trunks is covered in Louis Vuitton’s Damier canvas, created in 1888, and features traditional brass protective corners and closures.

As with every Louis Vuitton trunk made in Asnières since 1859, the Medals Trunks and Torches Trunks are designed and crafted at the highest level of precision. They embody the skills, high standards, and dedication to excellence that define Louis Vuitton and its artisans’ work — a direct parallel with the athletes competing at the Paris 2024 Games. Together, the Medals Trunks and Torches Trunks follow the brand’s motto, “Victory travels in Louis Vuitton.”

“VICTORY TRAVELS IN LOUIS VUITTON”

Louis Vuitton has long been celebrating the art of victory;the new Olympic trunks join an esteemed family of LV trophy trunks. In fact, for over 35 years, the brand has crafted trunks for the world’s most prestigious sporting events, including the America’s Cup, FIFA World Cup, F1 Grand Prix de Monaco, NBA Cup, Rugby World Cup, and Davis Cup, among others.

The trophy trunk design philosophy traces back to the Maison’s eponymous founder, who spent 17 years as a renowned layetier-emballeur (“professional packer and case maker” in French) before establishing his namesake brand in 1854. He dedicated his expertise to studying and understanding objects meticulously, creating bespoke trunks to protect them perfectly. These trunks represent the founding idea of protecting the ultimate symbol of victory that are trophies and medals.

DYNAMIC DUOS

Creative director Sabato De Sarno’s “mirroring” approach for the Fall/ Winter 2024 Men’s collection echoes the Gucci Ancora narrative that started in September, resetting the House’s wardrobe and esthetic by reflecting the emotions of the previous collection through the lens of menswear. In the designer’s own words in the Ancora Manifesto, “It’s a story of joy of life, of passion, of humanity, of people, of real life, of irreverent glamour, of provocation, of confidence, of simplicity, of immediate feelings and emotions.”

ITALIAN SUMMER

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

Fendi’s Summer 2024 collection by Kim Jones was inspired by Roman lifestyle, blending urban style with sun-drenched coastal charm. The collection reinterprets the Women’s Spring/Summer 2024 show color palette with pale blues, vivid reds, bright yellows, and contrasting neutrals, adding modern hues like salmon and golden yellow to sophisticated pastel beiges and browns. The signature Pequin pattern, in vibrant or neutral shades, adorns both women’s and men’s ready-towear, while denim takes on playful FF motifs and seasonal prints. Accessories by Silvia Venturini Fendi echo the theme with Pequin jacquard, FF denim, raffia, and woven leathers. Footwear combines function and elegance while Delfina Delettrez’s jewelry for the brand — including the bold Fendigraphy line — pays homage to the Pequin pattern with bi-color wood bangles, rings, and earrings. This summer, for the first time in its history, the house of Fendi will also unveil its first collection of fragrances.

DISCOVERY DIAMOND

HAUTE LIVING GOES ON AN EXCLUSIVE DISCOVERY TRIP WITH NATURAL DIAMOND COUNCIL GLOBAL AMBASSADOR AND EMMY-NOMINATED ACTRESS LILY JAMES.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

They often say knowledge is power, and with the Natural Diamond Council (NDC), that saying could not ring truer. A non-profit organization dedicated to revealing the real, rare, and responsible values of natural diamonds through its Only Natural Diamonds platform, while also providing educational expertise to the industry’s leading jewelry brands, designers, and retailers, the NDC strives to empower consumers to understand how precious diamonds really are.

To better grasp the intricacies of the diamond industry, Haute Living received an exclusive look into global ambassador and Emmy-nominated actress Lily James’ trip to the Northwest Territories (NWT) of Canada to uncover the journey of a natural diamond. In fact, this was James’ second trip with the NDC, ultimately showing her personal commitment to better understanding the diamonds she’s seen wearing on red carpets.

To the surprise of many, Canada is the world’s third-largest producer of natural diamonds, contributing 25 percent to the NWT GDP, providing eight billion dollars to indigenous and local communities, and offering a vast, epic landscape of Arctic tundra, boreal forest, and lakes across 521,238 square miles, with abundant opportunities for sustainable practices. The trip was punctuated with visits to diamond destinations like the remote De Beers Canada/Gahcho Kué Diamond Mine, Rio Tinto’s Yellowknife splitting facility, and Diamonds de Canada to explore how they maintain a local supply chain, which benefits their communities from mining to cutting and polishing of natural diamonds. “I was able to witness the true economic impact the natural diamond industry has in these regions,” noted James. “The industry creates a true sense of community while driving massive positive impact on the economy in each region.”

The word “transparency” keeps coming to mind, and whether it’s the transparency in the natural diamond sourcing practices or the one seen in the clarity of a diamond, the two are intrinsically connected. James met with Rio Tinto’s Diavik Diamond Mine’s first female Tele-Remote scoop operator, Melanie Sangris, who has worked in the natural diamond industry for over a decade, as well as with Gaeleen MacPherson, head of people & community at Rio Tinto’s Diavik Diamond Mine. The latter shared how diamond mining provides opportunities for the community; her firsthand approach to making a positive impact on the diamond mining industry has directly benefited 10 million people worldwide, mostly in local communities. “From meeting women at the helm of mining operations to educators shaping the future generation, everywhere I look, I’m reminded that natural diamonds are truly real, rare, and responsible,” shared James.

Cultivating Your Spring Glow Through Skincare

BY DR. MARA WEINSTEIN VELEZ

AS SPRING APPROACHES, NATURE UNDERGOES ITS SEASONAL transformation, inspiring us to reflect on our own beauty reawakening.

Much like nurturing a garden, skincare demands a combination of knowledge, patience, and adaptability to evolving conditions. By thoughtfully selecting ingredients, understanding our skin’s unique needs, and nurturing it with patience, we can step into the spring season with confidence, ready to tend to our skin’s “garden” with the love and attention it deserves.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

Knowing your skin type — whether dry, oily, normal, combination, or sensitive — is crucial for selecting your best skincare ingredients, but where does your skin type come from? The short answer is genetics. Your genes influence everything from sensitivity and oil production to predispositions towards conditions like eczema and rosacea, and even how well your dermis holds onto water.

While you start with some genetic building blocks, your skin ty pe can change over time. It evolves with age, lifestyle, medicatio ns, health conditions, hormones, and environmental exposures such as climate and sun damage. These factors can lead to changes li ke reduced oil production during menopause, resulting in drier skin.

A GARDEN OF GOOD INGREDIENTS

Identifying the right skincare ingredients involves understanding the requirements of our skin type and the properties of ingredients, whether they are for hydration, moisturization, calming inflammation, exfoliation, or oil absorption.

• Emollients and humectants: Emollients moisturize skin, while humectants attract water. Humectant ingredients include hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin. These can be sealed with emollients like natural oils to repair and maintain a healthy skin barrier.

• Ceramides: Ceramides, the lipid molecules in our skin cell membranes, are vital for repairing the natural barrier and shielding against damage, reducing dryness, and irritation.

• Hyaluronic acid: This is a polysaccharide that occurs naturally in our skin. It helps our skin to hold onto water, plumping up the skin cells and reducing the visibility of fine lines.

• Squalane: A lightweight hydrocarbon that resembles sebum’s natural squalene, squalane shields against environmental damage and free radicals, hydrates, and helps regulate oil production.

• Retinoids: Retinoids are derivatives of vitamin A that are well-known by skincare enthusiasts for their ability to fade hyperpigmentation, stimulate collagen production, and clear up the most stubborn and widespread acne. By enhancing collagen synthesis and speeding up cell turnover, they exfoliate and even out melanin distribution, resulting in smoother skin and a more uniform tone.

GROWING BETTER TOGETHER

If you are a gardener, you are likely familiar with companion planting. This technique allows different plants to enhance growth, yield, and pest control mutually. Similarly, specific actives can make great companions in your skincare routine. Let’s take a look at some companions to help your skincare routine blossom:

• Vitamin C, E, and ferulic acid: These antioxidants synergize to protect against free radicals and brighten skin. Ferulic acid stabilizes vitamins C and E, enhancing their effects.

• Retinol and hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid hydrates, mitigating the dryness often associated with retinol use.

• Niacinamide and zinc: Niacinamide reduces inflammation, while zinc regulates oil production and soothes irritation.

• Peptides and ceramides: Ceramides reinforce the skin barrier, locking in moisture, as peptides boost collagen production.

• Broad-spectrum SPF goes with everything. No matter what actives you are using, a UVA/UVB sunscreen is crucial for maintaining a happy, healthy barrier and preventing sun damage. Remember that some actives, like retinol, make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

CREATING A HARMONIOUS SKIN ECOSYSTEM: SAFELY SELECTING YOUR BEST TREATMENTS

Just like how some plants thrive in the sun and others in the shade, some actives do their best work during the day or at night. Antioxidants like vitamins C and E, along with barrier enhancers such as ceramides, squalene, and hyaluronic acid, are great in your morning routine. Nighttime is better suited for regenerative products like retinoids, which enhance the skin’s overnight healing but can increase sun sensitivity. Consider the concentration of active ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, niacinamide, and glycolic acid in skincare products. Lower concentrations are less potent, but even a small amount of a powerful

ingredient can cause irritation, demonstrating that all skin types can react differently to various strengths.

The next step is to do a patch test. When you are trying a new product or picking up one you haven’t used in a while, especially if you’ve experienced a significant change in your health or lifestyle, like pregnancy or menopause, do a patch test. Apply a small amount of product to your inner elbow or wrist and monitor the area for 24 to 48 hours. The absence of redness, itching, burning, hives, inflammation, or discoloration indicates compatibility.

Finally, remember to go slow. Introduce new products, ingredients, and concentrations one at a time. In the same way that a well-tended garden doesn’t sprout overnight, a radiant complexion is cultivated with dedication and care over time. You want to be the tortoise, not the hare.

DERMATOLOGISTS: THE MASTER GARDENERS

While home skincare addresses many concerns, certain situations necessitate professional treatments for better outcomes. If you are seeking more dramatic improvements than what you’ve achieved at home, it’s time to consider professional treatments. A dermatologist can offer guidance on the most appropriate procedures for your skin type and concerns, like severe acne, deep wrinkles, stubborn or widespread hyperpigmentation, scarring, or conditions like rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis.

For personalized insights into your skincare needs, consider scheduling a consultation with Dr. Mara Weinstein Velez. Prepare for spring by prioritizing your skin health today.

THE BEST OF WATCHES AND WONDERS 2024

In April, the biggest watch event in the industry returned to Geneva, bringing all the prestigious Maisons under one roof to debut this year’s novelties. Discover the Haute Time guide to some of the most noteworthy timepieces shown at Watches and Wonders 2024.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

TAG HEUER

Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph

TAG Heuer’s standout watch for the year is undoubtedly the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph, a watch with no creative confinement that was two years in the making, and which comes in right under $140,000. The Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph features hand-made finishes, including a checkerboard pattern on the center bridge and a TAG Heuer shieldshaped oscillating weight.

ROLEX

Perpetual 1908

On the heels of the Perpetual 1908 launch at last year’s Watches and Wonders, Rolex has presented a new version in 950 platinum with an ice-blue guilloché dial. As its name suggests, the Perpetual 1908 draws inspiration from one of the earliest Rolex models, equipped with the Perpetual rotor and named after the year Rolex was registered in Switzerland in 1908.

CHANEL

Monsieur Superleggera Intense Black Edition

A sportier feel within the Chanel timepiece repertoire, the Monsieur Superleggera Intense Black Edition takes inspiration from automobile racing with technical finesse, featuring a matte black ceramic and stainless-steel case, a guilloche-type dial, and a Caliber 1 movement with a jump hour and retrograde minute display.

CARTIER

Privé Tortue

Perhaps the most talked about timepiece of Watches and Wonders as one of Cartier’s oldest revivals with the original Tortue dating back to 1912, the 2024 Cartier Privé Tortue was unveiled by the brand in yellow gold with a silver opaline dial and black numerals.

BULGARI

Octo Finissimo Ultra

Bulgari broke a new world record as the Octo Finissimo Ultra once again shattered the confines of high-end mechanical watchmaking by setting a new standard for slimness at just 1.70 millimeters thick.

A. LANGE & SÖHNE

Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon in Honeygold “Lumen”

This year, A. Lange & Söhne is celebrating the 25th year of the Datograph in a big way by presenting two new Datograph models: the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon in Honeygold “Lumen” and the Datograph Up/Down. A standout for us, the former is a first for the luxury watchmaker, combining its revered complications in Langeexclusive “honey gold” and presenting them in a “Lumen” version that glows in the dark.

ULYSSE NARDIN

Freak S Nomad

Ulysse Nardin continued its Freak evolution — proving this model remains the focal point for the brand — with the debut of the Freak S Nomad in a dune colorway limited to just 99 pieces.

PATEK PHILIPPE

Ref. 5980/60G – Nautilus

Quite unexpectedly, Patek Philippe introduced the Nautilus (Ref. 5980/60G) in a denim-like material. This Nautilus self-winding flyback chronograph features a white gold casing with an opaline blue-gray dial, complemented by a denim-patterned blue-gray calfskin strap and an alternative bluegray composite material strap, both showcasing a sleek mix of polished and satin finishes. Its innovative design includes a legible monocounter at six o’clock for chronograph indications, with a central seconds hand that also functions as a running seconds display.

JAEGER-LECOULTRE Duometre Chronograph Moon

Immediately stealing the show, the Duometre Chronograph Moon, powered by the newly developed Calibre 391, debuted in two striking variations: a resplendent platinum case paired with a copper-colored dial, and a warm pink gold case complemented by a silver dial, each adorned with a meticulously handstitched alligator strap.

VACHERON CONSTANTIN

Traditionnelle Tourbillon

Chronograph

Vacheron Constantin introduced the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph to the Collection Excellence Platine — dubbing itself “The Collectors’ piece.” This 50-piece limited edition represents a confluence of tradition and innovation, set within the realm of the exclusive collection. Every component, from the 42.5 mm diameter case to the strap’s stitching, revels in the lustrous splendor of 950 platinum, affirming its status of collector’s treasure.

GRAND SEIKO

SLGW002 & 003

During the 1960s and ’70s, Grand Seiko produced manually-wound, 10-beat timepieces aimed at achieving superior accuracy and rate stability. This year marks a significant milestone as Grand Seiko introduces its first hand-wound, high-beat movement in over half a century: the Caliber 9SA4. It adds to the mechanical Caliber 9S series that began in 2020 with the automatic Caliber 9SA5, which was expanded last year with the introduction of the Tentagraph Caliber 9SC5 chronograph. Caliber 9SA4 makes its debut in a new dress watch belonging to the Evolution 9 Collection (SLGW002 & 003).

HERMÈS

Arceau Duc Attelé

Limited to just 24 pieces, the new Hermès Arceau Duc Attelé timepiece blends Hermès’ signature equestrian style with haute horology to create a triple-axis tourbillon and minute repeater.

GUIDE TO NAVIGATING THE CITY OF LIGHTS DURING THE 2024 SUMMER OLYMPICS.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

THE 2024 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES ARE FINALLY UPON US, AND DARE WE SAY IT, BUT THESE MIGHT BE THE MOST exciting yet. In addition to being this year’s host city — a century after hosting for the first time — the City of Lights will transform many iconic local landmarks into sporting venues from July 26 through August 11. Unbelievably, there will be beach volleyball beneath the Eiffel Tower, archery at Les Invalides, skateboarding at Place de la Concorde, marathon swimming and triathlon near Pont Alexandre III, taekwondo at the Grand Palais, race walking and cycling at Trocadéro, equestrian and modern pentathlon at the Palace of Versailles, and aquatic competitions such as canoeing on the Seine (which is where, incidentally, the Opening Ceremony will take place — an iconic moment in itself in that it is the first time in Olympic history where said ceremony will be held outside of a stadium). With nearly 10 million visitors — inclusive of the 10,000 athletes competing in 32 sports — Paris is projected to be packed, which is why you should have started planning yesterday. Or, you know, four years ago. Regardless, it’s a good time to check out our haute guide, which should help you streamline where to stay, play, wine, and dine as luxuriously as possible in Paris.

HOTELS

Some of the most glamorous hotels in the world are, of course, located in Paris. Who hasn’t dreamed of staying at The Ritz, Hôtel Plaza Athénée, George V, Le Meurice, Le Royal Monceau, Le Bristol, or the Saint James? We’re always going to be shipping these hotels — they’re classics for a reason but in the spirit of this year’s games, which have introduced four entirely new categories with breaking, sport climbing, skateboarding, and surfing, we decided to highlight the hottest new hotel players in the City of Love (yes, it does have multiple monikers). So, dear Olympic enthusiasts, may we now present the new guard!

LE GRAND MAZARIN

Le Grand Mazarin is, fittingly, a hotel as chic as the neighborhood it’s located in: Le Marais. Martin Brudnizki was the perfect designer to create the artistic, elegantly over-the-top atmosphere, which evokes the 17thcentury literary salons of Le Marais, where high society doyennes would host gatherings in their private mansions. On site, there are 61 rooms and suites; a restaurant, Boubalé, which serves up Ashkenazi cuisine courtesy of Michelin-starred Israeli chef Assaf Granit; a secret winter garden; wellness area; and swimming pool, all of which reflect the designer’s sumptuous and intimate vision via antique furniture, vintage objects, seashells embedded in the wallpaper, or custom-designed rugs with baroque details. In the hotel’s lobby, a wedding wardrobe typical of 19th-century Europe sets the tone, which Brudnizki himself discovered in England. 17 Rue de la Verrerie, 75004

MAISON PROUST, HOTEL & SPA LA MER

Maison Proust, a stylish 23-suite hotel in Le Marais, is just the homage to 20th-century literary great Marcel Proust that Paris didn’t know it needed. It is a Belle Epoque wonderland, but because it’s located in a six-story townhouse, Maison Proust doesn’t give traditional hotel vibes. Each room, as designed by Jacques Garcia, is named after a muse or friend of the writer, from Princess Mathilde to actress Sarah Bernhardt, all decorated with patterned silk, embroidered fabrics, and eye-catching art. It would be a mistake not to mention the property’s beautiful glassed-in winter garden, stunning bar with cocktails from Colin Field, who has been named best bartender in the world, a lounge — theatrically highlighted with velvet draped curtains, antique mirrors, and crystal chandeliers — as well as a second lounge that features a domed ceiling with a gold leaf sun, modeled after the Opéra Garnier. There’s also a magnificent library with over 1,000 rare books, and a Moorish-style Spa La Mer with a heated pool, hammam, and sauna. So, in honor of Proust’s famous masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time, we can only say that we welcome the chance to get lost here time and time again. 26 Rue de Picardie, 75003

LA RÉSERVE PARIS

On a scale of fabulousness, La Réserve Paris is a 10. Just a block away from the Champs-Élysées and the Grand Palais, its location can’t get much better. Plus, this stunner, another gem conceived by world-famous designer Jacques Garcia, is housed in a 19th-century building that was once owned by the family of the Duke of Morny, the stepbrother of Emperor Napoleon III. It’s accordingly elegant, with marvelous marble fireplaces and rich fabric wall hangings. It’s discreet, too, in that it houses 15 rooms and 25 suites only. La Réserve Paris is also home to Le Gabriel restaurant, helmed by 3 Michelin-starred chef Jérôme Banctel, as well as a stunning Nescens spa with a 52-foot indoor pool. 42 Av. Gabriel, 75008

CHEVAL BLANC PARIS

Anything LVMH touches is basically gold, and that’s certainly the case at Cheval Blanc Paris, the luxury group’s stunning urban Maison in the heart of the City of Lights. As imagined by architects Édouard François and Peter Marino, the hotel is an art deco daydream, with a focus on food and relaxation (and who doesn’t love that?). The property, which overlooks the Seine, is home to chef Arnaud Donckele’s 3 Michelin-starred restaurant Plénitude, Parisian brasserie Le Tout-Paris, Italian eatery Langosteria, the new Japanesefocused Hakuba, and rooftop sky garden, Le Jardin. It also hosts the exquisite and exclusive Dior Spa Cheval Blanc Paris, which offers a holistic immersion into the world of Maison Dior, as well as a stunning curved swimming pool adorned with mosaics for a true sensory escape. 8 Quai du Louvre, 75001

BULGARI HOTEL PARIS

Located on the Avenue George V, in the “Golden Triangle” between the Seine and the Champs-Élysées, the Bulgari Hotel Paris fully brings the bling to the City of Light — but make it Italian. The interiors of the hotel, entirely designed by the Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel Italian architectural studio, are quietly luxurious, as one has come to expect of the Bulgari brand. Like its sister properties, the hotel is dotted with exquisite Italian-made marble, silk wallcoverings, granite, tapestries, and varnished eucalyptus woodwork. Similarly, fans of the brand will find continuity in its signature eatery, Il Ristorante - Niko Romito, a Workshop Gymnasium, Bulgari Bar, and 82-foot, semi-Olympic swimming pool. The highlight here, however, is its Bulgari penthouse. The Eiffel Tower, Sacré Cœur, and Grand Palais all seem to be within touching distance of this 4,300-squarefoot palace, which features sparkling glass and gold chandeliers, two kitchens entirely clad in Arbescato marble, a hammam, pantry, private studio with its own cigar cellar, fitness room, and — best of all — a private 6,450-square-foot outdoor terrace with 360-degree views of the city. 30 Av. George V, 75008

CHÂTEAU VOLTAIRE

Paris is one of the world’s most fashionable cities, and Château Voltaire plays to its sartorial strengths in that the 31-room-and-one-suite property in the 9th arrondissement was conceived by owner Thierry Gillier, the founder of fashion label Zadig & Voltaire. The hotel is comprised of buildings from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, a short jaunt away from Parisian landmarks like the Tuileries Gardens, Opéra Garnier, The Louvre, and the glamorous Galeries Lafayette shopping center (where, of course, Zadig & Voltaire is carried). There’s a mixed esthetic here: it is both opulent and old-world thanks to Louis XIII-style armchairs, fringed velvet furnishings, liberal trompe-l’oeil, and heavy tapestries, but it’s also airy and contemporary with details like seashell light fixtures and a soft color palette throughout the rooms. It’s food and beverage — the beautiful L’Emil brasserie, with wooden banquettes, marble tabletops, and stained glass — and sultry La Coquille d’Or bar are already Parisian hot spots. 55 Rue Saint-Roch, 75001

HÔTEL MADAME RÊVE

To sleep, perchance to dream. You’ll be doing both at Hôtel Madame Rêve (rêve meaning, in French, “to dream”) near Les Halles in Paris’ former only 24-hour post office, a Haussmanian building dating back to the late 19th century. There’s certainly a chic, sexy vibe here that makes this feel especially saucy at night, and that vibe extends from the rooms to the two restaurants — especially at the hotel’s signature eatery, La Plume, a dark and sensual French Japanese hybrid with moody lighting (though its Kitchen by Stéphanie Le Quellec exudes a carnal atmosphere, too). Its rooftop, the aptly named “ROOF,” is truly the pièce de résistance of the hotel. This is a 10,000-square-foot oasis, overlooking Notre-Dame, the Panthéon, and Beaubourg, among other landmarks, that affords a 180-degree view of the City of Lights. It can’t be missed. 48 Rue du Louvre, 75001

LA FANTAISIE

We love a good Martin Brudnizki design, and, as his first entry into the Parisian hotel scene, La Fantaisie does not disappoint. The whimsical designer has created fantastical designs for his inaugural property, nestled in the bustling Faubourg-Montmartre neighborhood in the heart of the ninth arrondissement. The hotel’s concept and raison d’être, its heroes, are 16th-century gardener brothers Jacques and Jean Cadet. Brudnizki has made sure that the late green-thumbed siblings are prominent throughout the hotel, from the palette of greens, warm yellows, and coral touches he uses throughout the rooms to the ceilings covered with floral wallpaper. This fantastical hotel also uniquely marks the homecoming of 3 Michelin-starred French chef Dominique Crenn, the owner of San Francisco’s L’Atelier Crenn, who, here, with her zero-waste restaurant, Golden Poppy, showcases a menu wholly centered around local and sustainable fare. 24 Rue Cadet, 75009

CHÂTEAU DES FLEURS

There are flowers covering the windows at Château des Fleurs, located within a 1910 building in the 8th arrondissement, but the “fleurs” in its name actually refer to a former famous place for 19th century, Belle Epoquestyle dance parties. What we do see is red. There are touches of the hue everywhere, not oppressively nor subtly, but the shade does set the tone for the stay to come at this 37-key hotel at the top of the Champs-Elysées. Given that there is a boudoir room on site, well, you get the drift. That said, we are absolutely obsessed by every crimson touch on site, be it via the Korean eatery, Restaurant by OMA, or its lovely Omnisens spa. 19 Rue Vernet, 75008

HAUTE CUISINE

This year’s Michelin Guide named 121 Parisian restaurants as worthy of a Michelin star, which isn’t super surprising given that, well, haute cuisine originated here. Here are a few of our favorites.

Pierre Gagnaire’s eponymous eatery will be one of the most exquisite meals you’re likely to eat in this lifetime. Le Gabriel at La Réserve, just a block from the Champs-Élysées, is Jérôme Banctel’s opulent eatery, set in a 19th century Napoleon III-style mansion with Versailles parquet flooring. There is Épicure, Arnaud Faye’s Louis XVI-furnished restaurant at Le Bristol; Plénitude, helmed by Arnaud Donckele at Cheval Blanc Paris; L’Ambroisie, Bernard Pacaud’s simply perfect eatery in a Place de Vosges townhouse; and Kei Kobayashi’s eponymous Japanese restaurant by the Louvre. Architect Pierre-Yves Rochon created the magical ambiance of Le Pré Catelan, helmed by chef Frédéric Anton on the famous Bois de Boulogne; Yannick Alléno continues to impress at his restaurant on the first floor of the superb, néo-classical mansion Pavillon Ledoyen; and the pairing of chef Christian Le Squer and award-winning sommelier Éric Beaumard at Le Cinq, located at Four Seasons Hotel George V, is one for the books. Hélène Darroze, the master chef who inspired Colette in the animated film Ratatouille, inspires excellence at Marsan par Hélène Darroze on Rue d’Assas, while LVMH darling Jean Imbert impresses at Hôtel Plaza Athénée. The most decorated chef in the world, Alain Ducasse, does the same at Le Meurice, among his seven other eateries. And last, but certainly not least, we always stand by our favorite: Jean-Georges Vongerichten, whose Christian Liaigre-designed restaurant Market on avenue Matignon near the ChampsÉlysées, serves up eclectic, Asian-French cuisine.

BEST BRASSERIES

You’re basically spoiled for choice when it comes to iconic Parisian bars. Our top spot is Little Red Door, which earned the sixth spot on the 2023 World’s 50 Best Bars list. It is, of course, defined by its — you guessed it — little red door, a nod to speakeasies found during the Prohibition era in the States. Each cocktail at this cozy, comfortable brasserie receives a two-page menu illustration by a local artist, with only the drink’s name listed. But do trust them to work their magic. Then, head to Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis for the sip-worthy stylings of Le Syndicat, the epitome of French bars. This den of cool prides itself on its patriotism, highlighting everything from French ingredients to French tunes, even recently creating a menu of cocktails based on the most well-known Parisian monuments. We also love the gorgeous art deco-inspired daydream that is Bar Nouveau in Le Marais, the Brooklyn vibes of Danico in Saint-Germain, and Bar Hemingway, a classic homage to former patron Ernest Hemingway, at The Ritz.

A GOURMET EXPERIENCE EN ROUTE

If you must fly commercial, make sure to do so with Air France in a bid to embrace the Gallic spirit. We’re not putting our praise behind the airline simply because it’s the top carrier in France, but because aforementioned Michelin star chef Dominique Crenn — the only 3 Michelin star female chef in America— has now developed an exquisite menu for first and business class travelers. Crenn has created 12 original dishes for the airline, which will offer two signatures every month in both cabins, such as lobster, pico de gallo, and tea sauce and root vegetable mille-feuille with truffle sauce.

BEST OF THE REST

You’re in Paris! Explore! Be aware that, during the Olympics in particular, spots like the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre will be absolutely overrun with tourists, but that it’s still possible to wander without purpose and get lost in the cobblestoned streets of the city, to find a lovely neighborhood bistro (with available seats) in one of the 20 arrondissements, in order to find your own personal slice of the city, whatever that may look like. That being said, we do recommend visiting the Louvre to check out its new exhibit on the creation of the Olympic Games, which launched in April and runs through September. And on that note, we’re not sure if we should say “santé”… or “bonne chance!”

2024 Ferrari SF90 Spider

Introducing Ferrari’s super-quick drop top.

BY TIM LAPPEN

THE 2024 FERRARI SF90 IS THE QUICKEST-ACCELERATING ROAD-GOING Ferrari ever produced. Let that sink in for a moment. It is Ferrari’s first fullproduction hybrid plug-in ever. Ferraris are known for performance, of course, and some are known for really prodigious… pricing. The 2002 V12 Ferrari Enzo, for example, had a list price of about $660,000 (good luck finding a clean one today for under $3.5 million). The successor to the Enzo, the 2013 LaFerrari, had a list price of about $1.5 million. The SF90 list price is “only” about $575,000, and unlike the aforementioned models, there is not a limited run of a few hundred vehicles. Yet it is quicker than its stablemates and predecessors costing multiples of that amount. In fact, the SF90 XX Stradale, the track-only sibling of our featured car, bested the amazing LaFerrari’s performance on the Ferrari test track by over 2.4 seconds, a huge jump in the racing world.

A brief sidenote about the naming of this car. If you are detail-oriented when it comes to cars — as I am — you may have noticed that many Ferraris have a yellow shield embedded on the top side of the front fenders with a very stylized “SF” written in expansive cursive below an elegant

rearing horse profile. Did you, as I did, ever wonder what it stood for?

In the 1980s, it may have meant that the owner spent several thousand dollars to have a shield added to the car, but as to what the actual meaning was, it is quite simple: “Scuderia Ferrari,” which translates from Italian to “Stable Ferrari,” is the company’s racing division. Its name was chosen to honor the company’s performance-oriented focus and their use of the stallion as their logo. Not surprisingly, the SF90 honors the Scuderia Ferrari’s 90th year of creating some of the most desirable cars on the planet.

The shape of this terrific machine is a departure from the Ferraris of yore, with a sculptural yet edgy sloping hood and short rear overhang. But under the hood is… space for luggage. In the SF90s (Stradale hardtop and Spider convertible) are mid-rear-engine cars — the engine is behind the driver and in front of the rear wheels, which allows for terrific handling and balance. The car is motivated by a combination of an amazingly powerful V8 and some electric wizardry.

Contrary to its well-known historic love of prodigious V12 power, Ferrari has utilized V8 motors for many decades (Tom Selleck famously drove one in Magnum, P.I.). Today’s eight-pot version has little in common with those earlier engines. With a twin-turbo boosting the performance, the gas engine alone pumps out some 769 horsepower. However, when one adds the additional 217 HP of the three (yes, three!) electric motors, the total propulsion zooms to 986 HP. Ferrari claims a 0 to 60 MPH dash is ripped out at 2.5 seconds, but it felt a lot faster to me. Honestly, whether a car can do that blast in three or even two seconds is not particularly important to most of us, but it sure does add to the thrill of those who get to experience it. And of course, it does add to the bragging rights at cars and coffee events everywhere.

Handling? I am glad that you asked. Two of the electric motors are dedicated to what Ferrari calls the “Cornering Angle Regulator, Electric” (or “RAC-e”, in Ferrari-speak). A simple example of how that works: when going through a corner, the inside tire has a shorter distance to go than the outside tire, so having the ability for a motor to speed up one wheel and/or slow down the other makes the car much nimbler. It’s a noticeable improvement over the “steer-and-hope” mode of the past, which allows for amazing cornering ability. In the canyons, the SF90 felt like it was on rails.

The interior of Maranello’s latest also does not disappoint: fine Italian leather abounds, most of which is tooled into beautiful designs. “My” SF90 Spider was very well appointed, thank you, so the “Blu Eletrico” exterior was nicely set-off by the “Nero 8500” black interior (the press photos here show a special luminous metallic golden color, “Giallo Montecarlo”). The underside of the retractable roof was leather-clad, and there were colored leather inserts in several places. The carbon fiber accoutrements (dashboard inserts, upper tunnel trim, driver-zone LEDs, and more) were gorgeous. Those additions and others helped explain why the total price of the one I tested was $659,000 and change.

Try as I might, I had to give it back way too soon. I loved my time with the SF90 Spider, especially as I only had a few hours with its hardtop Stradale sibling, but like all good entertainers, it left me wanting more — much more.

Residence Yacht Club: Pioneering the New Wave of Luxury Living

BY ESLY DAVIS

EMBARKING ON A REVOLUTIONARY JOURNEY, RESIDENCE YACHT CLUB, led by nightlife and media luminary Eric Levin, introduces a paradigm shift in maritime living. The leadership of Residence Yacht Club is an impressive collective, blending a combined fifty years of experience in luxury real estate, entertainment, and hospitality. Mark Blackburn, the founder of South Florida’s most prestigious luxury residential property management company, and Chance Levin, the “next generation” in the luxury experience platform, join this distinguished group. Together, they bring expertise in strategic marketing, business development, and the operation of iconic luxury properties, all while making significant contributions to the South Florida community.

In response to the challenges posed by the pandemic, Levin envisioned a luxury yachting experience that transcends traditional boundaries. Rooted in Levin’s legacy in Miami Beach’s 1990s nightlife, Residence Yacht Club caters to both annual travelers and local South Florida members, delivering a first-class service with a fleet of elite yachts ranging from 50 ft. to 105 ft. Membership in this exclusive club ensures a seamless experience with a dedicated team guiding every step of the charter. Rigorous vetting guarantees a respectful clientele, fostering a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for the sea. Safety takes precedence with comprehensive sanitation procedures before and after each voyage. Members enjoy around-the-clock concierge assistance, requiring only a few hours’ notice for unforgettable sea adventures.

Strategic collaborations with prestigious properties like Fisher Island and The Continuum, along with renowned hotels, position Residence Yacht Club as a leader in the industry. Leveraging these partnerships, the club offers practical and cost-effective charters, with a cost-per-charter significantly lower than traditional options. A fleet of fifteen vessels, including the 92 ft. Hargrave, the brand-new 95 ft. Princess, and more, provides members with a range of options. Complimentary upgrades are offered if their preferred vessel is unavailable.

Residence Yacht Club’s commitment extends beyond the sea, providing a Sprinter vehicle for convenient transportation to and from the charter. Additionally, members can rent these vehicles for personal use. With partnerships extending to prominent hospitality brands, the club offers a white-glove experience that goes beyond typical charter services. The intimate membership structure fosters a personalized approach, ensuring members feel a sense of ownership over their maritime adventures.

Transitioning seamlessly into the realm of luxury condominium living, Residence Yacht Club forms visionary partnerships with developers, reshaping the essence of exclusive condominiums across South Florida. This groundbreaking collaboration sets a new standard of sophistication and aquatic opulence, redefining the condo lifestyle by granting exclusive access to a fleet of elite vessels for bespoke explorations of the bay and beyond.

This visionary concept, showcased through partnerships with luxury towers like the St. Regis Residences, Miami, and Waldorf Astoria

Residences, Pompano Beach, transforms residences into an epitome of refined living. The integration of exclusive yacht services enhances residential allure and marketability, offering residents seamless Yacht Club memberships and personalized charter voyages that embody luxury, leisure, and exclusivity.

At the heart of this luxury narrative is Residence Yacht Club’s unwavering commitment to excellence. Ownership and management of an exclusive fleet ensures precise, quality-controlled service. Residents luxuriate in a portfolio of prestigious vessels, complemented by door-todock transportation and a plethora of onboard activities, reshaping condo living into a waterfront escapade.

The success story extends to developments like Andare Residences by Pininfarina, epitomizing coastal elegance by seamlessly integrating exclusive yacht services into its offerings. By recognizing the magnetic allure of yachting in coastal paradises, this development extends privileged access to world-class marinas and amenities, enriching its appeal among discerning residents.

Residence Yacht Club’s fusion of yachting excellence within ultra-luxury developments transcends the ordinary. Premium yacht memberships offer exclusive experiences, aligning seamlessly with the desires of buyers seeking holistic lifestyle experiences synonymous with South Florida’s aquatic grandeur. In essence, Residence Yacht Club emerges as the orchestrator of exquisite living, seamlessly blending opulence, waterfront allure, and the vibrant essence of South Florida’s yachting culture, thereby redefining condominium living as an unrivaled symphony of luxury.

In a strategic collaboration with Haute Jets, Residence Yacht Club is proud to introduce Residence Jet Club, providing members with seamless aviation travel. Offering direct access to a managed fleet with exclusive membership pricing and services, this partnership elevates the club’s commitment to unparalleled luxury experiences.

For more details about the Residence Yacht Club and membership opportunities, please visit residenceyachtclub.com or contact Eric at (786)625 -7502 or eric@residenceyachtclub.com. Embark on a journey where luxury meets the sea, and every voyage becomes an unparalleled experience in the lap of maritime opulence.

Shaping the Future of Hospitality

Haute Living sits down with Christopher Lindsey, the co-founder and head of product marketing at Peoplevine, the digital platform transforming the hospitality industry.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

HAUTE LIVING: Can you walk us through how you started in the business? How did the idea of Peoplevine come about?

CHRISTOPHER LINDSEY: The story of Peoplevine began with a passion for creating exceptional experiences. Our team comes from diverse backgrounds, blending technology expertise with a love for culture, entertainment, and, most importantly, hospitality. We saw a gap in the hospitality industry — a lack of technology that kept pace with the evolving needs of modern members and businesses. In 2014, we launched our platform with Live Nation, building our events and ticketing engine. This experience fueled our vision for a comprehensive experience-based CRM solution. By 2016, we expanded to serve the growing coworking industry, which ultimately led us to focus on membership-based clubs. We believe the members club concept deserves a modern upgrade, and that’s where Peoplevine comes in.

HL: What role does Peoplevine play in building some of the most exclusive (and notable) membership clubs around the globe?

CL: Peoplevine acts as the invisible backbone for these prestigious clubs. We provide a two-sided platform that empowers both the guest and member experience and the staff operations. Our software offers a best-in-class user experience for members, allowing them to seamlessly book amenities, chat with staff, and access exclusive content. But it doesn’t stop there: we equip staff with the tools they need to personalize service, manage operations efficiently, and gain valuable insights into member preferences. This data allows clubs to tailor experiences and build lasting relationships with their members. That’s the true hallmark of exclusivity.

HL: A lot of people think about the brick-and-mortar spaces when it comes to membership clubs. How have you integrated the app and the process behind these membership clubs?

CL: The in-person experience is irreplaceable. It’s the core of what membership clubs offer. Peoplevine enhances that experience, it doesn’t replace it. Our app acts as a digital companion, allowing members to connect with the club before, during, and after their visit. Imagine seamlessly booking a class or dining reservation, sharing guest passes with your friends, and paying for all your transactions with a card on file — that’s the power of the

app. However, the human touch remains paramount. The app empowers staff to greet members by name, streamline orders, and anticipate their needs. This creates a sense of belonging and fosters a welcoming environment, ultimately strengthening the club’s community.

HL: What have you found to be the most successful about the CRM?

CL: For Peoplevine to be a truly valuable CRM, it needs to connect with all aspects of the member experience. Our member app and integrations act as data collection points, providing insights into member behavior and preferences. This data empowers hospitality businesses to refine their service offerings, amenities, and overall experience. Furthermore, the pandemic accelerated the trend towards a “customer-centric” business model. Businesses are increasingly recognizing the value of building closer relationships with their customers and understanding their needs. Peoplevine’s CRM empowers businesses to do just that, fostering loyalty and driving recurring revenue.

HL: Peoplevine believes that “Membership is the future of hospitality.”

How have you seen this through your client integration?

CL: When we started, our focus was on private clubs. Over the years, we’ve witnessed the “membership model” expand into other hospitality sectors, including spas, wellness centers, hotels, branded residences, and restaurant groups. These businesses are learning from each other, blurring the lines between traditional verticals. Your home might start to feel more like a hotel, your restaurant more like a private club, and so on.

HL: What are your goals for the next five years with Peoplevine?

CL: Over the next five years, we plan to aggressively expand our platform offerings and industry relationships. As we encounter new hospitality verticals, we’ll tackle the challenges of integrating them seamlessly. This will involve developing new workflows and functionalities that push our team to innovate. There are still many types of properties we don’t currently serve. Our goal is to become the go-to membership management solution for the entire hospitality industry. We believe technology can be a powerful tool to elevate human connection and create truly exceptional experiences. By achieving our goals, we hope to play a significant role in shaping the future of hospitality.
