“I HAD IT IN MY HEAD THAT I WAS GOING TO RETIRE, BUT IT DIDN’T WORK OUT.”
William H. Macy has just made a confession, and it’s a doozy. Much like his Shameless character, Frank Gallagher, Macy drinks and he does things. And, well, they haven’t always been good. Case in point: his earliest memory involving the hard stuff. At 10 years old, young Bill got loaded and accidentally destroyed a local landmark. Whoops. “When I was a kid, somehow we got a hold of this 200-proof alcohol. I think it was used for rubdowns, but we drank it,” he says. “And all I remember is, I went to the baseball field and there was a bulldozer there with its keys in it, so I put it in gear and I started it. It only went about 10 feet before it stalled, but the blade was down, and by then it had totally dug up the baseball field.” And nary another soul ever knew, because “We just ran!” he recalls with a boyish grin, looking more like his undoubtedly cheeky childhood self and far less like his current age of 71. “No one ever knew. [I’ve kept this secret] for 60 years. This is breaking news! I’m talking about it here for the first time, and I’m probably going to hear from the town of Cumberland, Maryland, after this interview: ‘So you’re the guy.’” It’s only easy to laugh at past indiscretions if you’re no longer making them, and with Macy, that’s undoubtedly the case. These days, he’s gotten the bad boy out of his system. Mostly. The rebellious part of him that still exists has been transformed into yet another creative outlet: his alter ego, Willie Creeks. Willie is the poster child for Woody Creek Distillers, the liquor brand Macy became involved with just prior to the arrival of Covid-19. He’s a fictional throwback-to-a-bygone-era troubadour who sings about the good old days of the Rockies while strumming a vintage ukulele and, a glass of whiskey in hand, dispensing old-timey truth bombs like “Be careful when you’re climbing the ladder of success. Make sure it’s on the right roof. Happened to me once. I ended up in my ex-wife’s house. Naked.” As Willie, Macy is able to harness his inner outlaw, albeit one who rides a Triumph very, very slowly and fully kitted in Kevlar (a loving safety mandate by his wife of 24 years, Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman, after he discovered he loved bike life while filming the 2007 comedy Wild Hog) through the rain and snow from L.A. to Aspen, with
his ukulele — one of nearly two dozen — strapped to his back, all the while conceiving tongue-in-cheek (yet totally earworm-worthy) blues songs like “Whiskey Dell” and “Why I Put My Pants On.” That he plays the ukulele is no accident: Willie is still William H., after all. It’s been his prime passion since picking up the tiny instrument after filming Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights in 1997. At the film’s wrap party, director Anderson — a fan of The Gong Show — asked each guest to do something they’d never done before, so Macy, who had grown up playing guitar, thought the ukelele qualified. He went down to Guitar Center and picked up his very first Martin uke (which he shows me) and sang a Bob Hope song with his wife. They lost. He says they “were robbed.” “I tell everyone the ukulele is the crack cocaine of stringed instruments,” he says. “It’s easy to play. It makes people happy. You take it out of its case and people laugh, because it’s crazy-looking and small.” He pauses, then warns, “Don’t pick it up, because it will ruin you.” In addition to Willie’s love of the ukulele, he also has a pretty impressive backstory (but hey, that’s why Macy is such a celebrated and decorated actor, right?). “Willie started as a folk hero. He was in a hair band for a while — he did Herman’s Hermits — and now he’s a rocker who doesn’t give a shit about anything or anybody else and says whatever he wants,” Macy explains before recounting a recent interview he gave fully in character. “Willie was such a jerk to the interviewer,” he laughs, noting that while he’d never operate that way personally, it was “shockingly easy” to be bad, adding, “It’s delicious if you can speak your mind and then blame it on the other guy.” Willie — and indeed, his partnership with Woody Creek Distillers, which is located in Huffman’s hometown of Basalt, Colorado, 20 miles outside Aspen — began as a bit of a lark but seems to be just the escape Macy needed during the pandemic. It was certainly an organic fit from the get-go: not only does Macy — who is a co-owner, investor, ambassador and campaign star of the brand — love whiskey, but he and his family happen to live in Huffman’s childhood home, literally next door to WCD founder Mark Klechner. But the pandemic, among its other indignities and struggles, also thwarted the brand’s rollout, so Macy and company had to get inventive. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 17
While on a safe and socially distant jaunt to Colorado last year, he wrote a song about the bartender of their local watering hole, the Woody Creek Tavern, and Huffman captured a homespun music video on her iPhone, using a Gimbal. The track caught the attention of New York agency Strawberry Frog — the company responsible for Jim Beam’s recent rebranding — who not only created the brand’s Willie-focused ad campaigns but also the absolutely perfect “Age like a badass” tagline. But beyond the way it gives him a creative outlet, Macy loves being affiliated with Woody Creek. He isn’t paying lip service here: he really, really likes the whiskey. He enthusiastically praises the distillery’s beauty and its combination of high-tech and old-school techniques, and he walks me through the rather complicated production process while dispelling some truths he’s learned on his whiskey-making journey (e.g., if it ain’t made in Scotland, you can’t call it Scotch whiskey). “Stop me when you get bored,” he warns. (I don’t, because I’m not. He should lead distillery tours.) “What Woody Creek does is pretty pure,” he says, noting that the company also produces a gin, a vodka and — his personal favorite — a rye, which he refers to as “the nectar of the gods. It’s pure, 100 percent rye whiskey. It’s all grown in Colorado, and nothing is sourced. Every single drop goes into those barrels.” Which has one major benefit, in his opinion. “Just to be blunt about it, you can drink a whole lot more of it and feel OK the next morning. There are all these alcohols that come out of the first distillation, and if you don’t take them out, they’ll give you a hangover that’s kind of biblical.” Which absolutely no one wants, am I right? And so, basically, he’s a fan. But as to whether he has major plans for the brand, Macy’s just kind of riding the wave of excitement that Klechner and company have carried him on. “The distillery is constantly evolving. They’re like a bunch of kids, really. They’ll go, ‘Let’s make a plum brandy,’ and make 100 barrels. They did a gin where they put this flower in it which made it slightly blue. My golly, people went nuts for that! It’s vibrant and evolving, the distillery. I spend a lot of time there. It’s become the bar of choice in Basalt, Colorado.” And when he’s sitting down, no doubt with a ukulele in one hand and a glass in the other, what liquid will we find there? Well, just about anything, from the sound of it. “Right now I’m really into rye whiskey, which is so American. I love bourbon, too, which is also so American, but who doesn’t love a good, malty, peaty Scotch? Felicity and my daughters [Sophia Grace, 21, and Georgina Grace, 19] just went to Africa on safari, and they came back drinking gin. And so now we’re going through a gin phase. We have a lot of fruit trees here in California, and we grow Meyer lemons. Squeeze a little Meyer lemon, add some gin and some tonic and oh, life is good.”

“I REALIZED I DIDN’T HAVE TO BE GOING 75 MILES AN HOUR ALL THE TIME — WHICH IS PART OF THE WHOLE RETIREMENT IDEA THAT I HAVE. I SLOWED DOWN. AND I FOUND THAT TO BE REALLY FULFILLING AND LOVELY.”
t’s hard to imagine Bill Macy being anything like his Shameless character, Frank Gallagher, a neglectful father of six whose alcoholism and drug addiction affect his entire family. He’s rather dapper this late August day, with his hair perfectly coiffed, beard neatly trimmed, wearing a crisp pale-blue button-down. He’s certainly a million miles away from the six-time Emmy-nominated character (with a recent nod for Showtime’s longestrunning original scripted series, for its 11th and final season), who always reminded me of The Big Lebowski’s the Dude, with even worse hygiene. But in Bill’s pragmatic opinion, there’s inevitably going to be a blurred line when you’ve played a role for as long as he has. “I did Shameless for 11 years, and when you do something that long, the line between the actor and the character gets thinner and thinner,” he says. “I noticed in the later years that phrases I use regularly would find their way into the scripts. I love antique words and phrases like ‘That’s swell’ or ‘Boy, that’s jake with me’ from the 1920s and ’30s. And I guess [the writers] would just listen to the way I spoke on set, and a lot of the way I spoke ended up being the way Frank spoke.” It was a sad thing, saying goodbye to a character that became a part of him. But he was grateful for the experience, just like he’s pleased with the plethora of nominations. “It’s just so sweet,” he says of the most recent Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series accolade (which went to Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis at this year’s ceremony). “It [was] like a cherry on top of the best cake anyone’s ever had, especially to get nominated when it’s in the past [the last episode of the show aired on April 11]. It [was] fabulous.” But he did feel an over-so-slight urgency to win, with six nods to his name and no trophy (for this show, that is — Macy is a previous two-time Emmy winner, a four-time Screen Actors Guild Award winner and an Independent Spirit Award winner) — for his small-screen family more than himself, let it be said. “It would [have been] lovely for the whole cast and crew. If I were to [have won] this thing, it would [have been] a joint effort,” he maintains. “Believe me, we were a well-oiled machine there at the end, and it was sad to leave, but I think everyone had the notion that it was time to go. We didn’t want to jump the shark. I think all the seasons are really good, and I’m very proud of that. But yeah, I’d like to [have won] one for the team.” He was really looking forward to Emmy night, in fact, if just for the chance to dress up, put on his Dolce & Gabbana suit and, well, not be Frank Gallagher for the night. “On Shameless, I would only work three days out of the seven that we would shoot, and it sounds kind of silly, but for 11 years, I looked like a bum.” He’s had to wait quite some time to return to his regularly programmed grooming, especially because, immediately after wrapping Shameless, he signed on to play ex-CIA agent and inventor of biomedical devices Richard Fuisz in Hulu’s The Dropout, which required three hours in the makeup chair each day to transform him into a semblance of the real-life Fuisz. The limited series, which also stars Amanda Seyfried, Naveen Andrews, Laurie Metcalf and Stephen Fry, showcases the rise and fall of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. (For those who are unfamiliar, Theranos was initially described as a breakthrough technology company, falsely claiming to have created blood tests that required small amounts of blood that could be tested quickly on small, automated devices Holmes’ company had developed. Her net worth rapidly disintegrated, from $4.5 billion to nothing after a string of lawsuits, and in 2018, the SEC charged Holmes with fraud.) Macy, who plays a pivotal role in the series, says he signed on because “It’s a fascinating story. Everyone wanted to invest with her, people like Henry Kissinger and George Schultz and the head of the U.S. Armed Forces. It’s a 20 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
cautionary tale of Silicon Valley and how crazy we are for new ideas. At the beginning, Holmes was a victim of her own success, but then she went to the dark side.” Ultimately, he says, he chose the project because “I loved this script — it’s really well-written — and I like the character. It’s not that much work — I maybe have three or four scenes in each episode — and it’s tough to find a good character these days. When one comes along, you kind of have to do it.” And he isn’t complaining, but The Dropout took its toll on him, too. Endless hours in the hair and makeup chair plus all the sitting around and waiting one does on set (as well as extra time for the necessary Covid-19 precautions) will do that to a guy. That being said, he very nearly called it a day on acting, this thing he’s oh-so good at, the thing he’s been doing successfully for the past 41 years, with Academy Award-nominated roles in films like Fargo and parts in popular films like Air Force One, Magnolia, Jurassic Park III, Seabiscuit and Sahara. “I had it in my head that I was going to retire, but it didn’t work out,” he says. “I’m sort of serious about it. I’m 71. One of the good things about Shameless was that I worked steadily for 11 years, which is unusual in this business. Both daughters are in college now; I want to travel a lot. During Shameless, I directed a bit. I directed three independent films, and the net result of that was, I missed all the vacations with my family. I want to spend time with my girls and just not work so hard. I want to catch up.” (Although he does share that he’s already started on the travels, having taken a romantic glamping getaway to Yellowstone National Park with Huffman. “I was scared to death the entire time, but Felicity protected me,” he jokes.) He pauses. “You know, I don’t know what retirement looks like for an actor. As long as you can remain upright and learn the lines, there’s usually a role for some alter kocker.” That’s a Yiddish phrase meaning “crotchety, fussy, ineffectual old man.” Strangely enough, it was the pandemic that reminded him to stop and smell the proverbial roses, to enjoy life and make more time for himself and the other areas of his life that were just as important as the working parts. “The shelter-in-place part of the pandemic came with unexpected gifts. I rather enjoyed it. We have a big place here in L.A., so we weren’t crammed… and both of my daughters were here. They were about to go to college, but for three months, they were at home, talking to us. And I think it took a pandemic to make that happen. I can’t imagine any other way that would have happened!” he laughs, before saying more seriously, “It brought our whole family together. And it was lovely.” Beyond that, he says, he came to the realization that life is short, and that it needs to be savored. “I realized I didn’t have to be going 75 miles an hour all the time — which is part of the whole retirement idea that I have. I slowed down. And I found that to be really fulfilling and lovely.” But is that ability to choose, to decide when to take a beat, to spend time with loved ones, the greatest luxury in life? Well, kind of. “That question is funny,” he says, noting, “Felicity is great at dinner parties. She likes to put a little question under everybody’s plate, and it spurs conversation at the dinner table. One of her questions was, ‘What gives you the feeling of abundance?’ So can I answer that? For me, it’s tools!” Come again? “I have a shop. I’m an amateur woodworker. I have every tool known to man. Two or three of them, in some cases. Really good ones. I’ve got 40 power saws, I love hand tools, and I love to have a lot of them. One of the things about carpentry is that if you don’t have the right tools, you better have a lot of talent, which I don’t. If you have the right tools, it’s not that difficult to build some beautiful things.” Sounds like a metaphor to me.

GIRL & THE GOAT
In July, James Beard award-winning chef Stephanie Izard and James Beard award-winning restaurateurs Rob Katz and Kevin Boehm of BoKa Restaurant Group brought the longawaited outpost of their feted Chicago eatery Girl & the Goat to downtown Los Angeles. Fans should expect something slightly different from the West Coast menu, which focuses on seasonal California-specific produce. Chi-Town staples like chickpea fritters and goat empanadas live on here, though new dishes exclusive to L.A., including pork belly salad and pan-seared opah, shouldn’t be missed (and that goes for brunch items like potato “banh xeo” and PB&J pancakes, too). There are seasonally inspired cocktails, as well as a handpicked selection of sustainable and organically focused wines. Those who love the original Midwest location will see some commonalities in the design, as Izard’s longtime design partner, Karen Herold of Chicago’s Studio K, came out west to play. The result is an approachable, unpretentious, light-filled 200-seat restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows and generous use of greenery, as well as a fun, L-shaped open kitchen. 8555-3 Mateo St, Los Angeles; girlandthegoat.com/los-angeles

BACARI SILVER LAKE
For those wandering up Sunset Boulevard in search of Cliff’s Edge, there’s no need to be disappointed that the Silver Lake staple has changed hands and transformed into something new. Its reincarnation, Bacari Silver Lake, is, quite simply, a delight. Here, each dish is more outstanding than the last. As conceived by Israeli-born executive chef and co-owner Lior Hillel alongside Danny and Robert Kronfli, the Mediterranean-meetsIsrael cicchetti-style menu of small plates is a total win. Standouts include the salatim, served with a vegan cashew pate, green chickpea hummus, hazelnut beet muhammara and piping hot, straight-out-of-the-oven pita bread; Prince Edward Island mussels; the pistachio lamb kabob; perfect small-but-mighty pizzas; and a vegan double chocolate cake that’s to die for. The cocktail program is also a winner, thanks to beverage director Erin Earl’s classic and specialty cocktails that utilize house-made syrups and bitters, like the Sinners Nectar — bourbon, blood orange, pomegranate, molasses and lime — and the Mr. and Mrs. Smith, made with Smith & Cross rum, Granny Smith apple, juiced fennel, lime and demerara. That these winning offerings are set within a magical, romantic and much-revered space (renovated by M. Winter Design) that boasts an expansive treeshaded multiple-deck patio with luscious landscaping, low lighting and two firepits all of which adds to Bacari’s appeal. 3626 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles; eatwithbacari.com

Girl & the Goat
James Beard-winning business partners Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne, owners and operators of the Lucques Group, took the winning formula of their first A.O.C. on West 3rd Street and applied it to their newly opened Brentwood outpost. The aesthetic here is in line with the original as well. Designed by L.A.-based firm Nickey Kehoe, the new space is just as charming and warm, still SoCal but with an Aix-en-Provence outdoor café vibe. It is undeniably elegant, with an airy ambiance throughout the main bar room, which features beautifully textured fabrics, cozy velvet booths and banquettes, a long, rough-hewn communal table and a charcoal-wood back bar with a mirror detail and lovely lighting. There is second dining room in gorgeous hues of green, as well as a private dining room for gatherings of up to 40. Like the OG location, the newly opened wine bar features a small-plates menu format with seasonally rotating fare sourced directly from local farmers markets, a wine list that highlights small-production labels that are either sustainably, organically or biodynamically grown and a beverage program of market-driven cocktails. 11648 San Vicente Blvd, Los Angeles; aocwinebar.com

BICYCLETTE BISTRO
République owners Walter and Margarita Manzke and chef/owner Joe Garcia have brought a true Parisian vibe to west L.A. with Bicyclette, a beautiful bistro housed in the former Sotto space. Dining here is a must for Francophiles, who will be charmed by the love letter to Paris décor: vintage church pews, walls adorned with eclectic art, ornate bronze sconces, oversize armoires and unique wood furniture. In the Manzkes’ capable hands, Bicyclette is a total triumph. The menu is distinctly French, with items like Burgundy escargot en croute with garlic butter; duck leg confit with chanterelle mushrooms, baby turnips and oven-dried peaches; and the heavenly soft egg in the shell with smoked sturgeon and Kaluga caviar.

MATU
Matū is the first steak restaurant in America to exclusively serve 100 percent grass-fed Wagyu — specifically, award-winning beef produced in New Zealand by First Light Farms. Indeed, matū, in the indigenous Māori, means “the essence of, the gist of or richness,” which is what cofounders Jerry A. Greenberg, Michael Odell, Ryan Gianola, Scott Linder, Lowell Sharron and Mark Schatzker (all of whom are part of the extended restaurant group that includes Sushi Nozawa Group, UOVO and HiHo) have set out to achieve with their new Beverly Hills omakase-inspired hot spot. Matū’s daily-rotating Wagyu Dinner is at the heart of the menu. It begins with a bone broth, cooked for 24 hours, and progresses through four additional courses created with a variety of cooking methods and cuts of beef, including ribeye, New York, picanha, filet and beef cheek. Guests will also find à la carte items including Maine lobster tails, broccolini, maitake mushrooms, caulilini, tenderloin carpaccio, a braised beef pasta and two signature desserts on the menu. All fare is enjoyed in an earthy, 2,800-square-foot space anchored by five native Kiwi trees and an open kitchen with a wood-fire grill. 239 S Beverly Dr Suite 100, Beverly Hills; matusteak.com
THE BARISH
Four-time James Beard award-winning chef Nancy Silverton is throwing it back to a classic era with her vintage-style, old-Hollywood eatery the Barish, located in the iconic Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. With her first opening in eight years, Silverton, cofounder of the Mozza Group, has created an Italian steakhouse inflected with the bold California-Italian flavors she’s renowned for. Everything here is personal: the menu is inspired by Silverton’s summers spent cooking over open fires in Italy. Dishes include a variety of pasta al forno and meats; additional standouts are grilled abalone mushrooms with porcini butter, an iceberg wedge with trufflebert hazelnuts, and a 40-day dry-aged porterhouse steak. The restaurant takes its name from that of Silverton’s paternal grandmother’s family, Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe who settled in Canada and raised Angus cattle and Hampshire sheep on a homestead called the Barish Farm. As such, authentic sepia photographs and cherished family heirlooms are essential to the eatery’s décor, as are elements of the hotel’s original Spanish Colonial Revival, such as custom-designed banquettes with a blackened finish and tapestry-like upholstery, mirrored columns and vintage-inspired furnishings reminiscent of the Italian countryside where Silverton summers. (She sourced some tabletop pieces herself at flea markets throughout Europe, including hand-painted plates by a Tuscan ceramicist.) As designed by L.A.-based firm Nickey Kehoe, the 110-seat dining room is additionally anchored by a wood-fire hearth and open-kitchen setup.

“I think we lose the awe and the beauty in life when we don’t realize that things do happen divinely.” R E I G N I N G N F L M V P A A R O N R O D G E R S H A S N E W LY resigned with his team of 16 years, the Green Bay Packers, after a summer where his football fate hung in the balance. We caught up with the philosophical 37-year-old Zenith ambassador in Malibu while he was still figuring out his fate to talk fashion, passion and, of course, time.
HL: Do you share your style tips with your teammates? AR: No, not at all. I mean, I’ve got teammates who are rocking fanny packs at the waist and over the shoulder. I want to tell them, “You may be wearing it over your shoulder, but a fanny pack is still a fanny pack It may say Gucci on it, but that doesn’t mean it’s fashionable.”
Haute Living: Have you always had a thing for watches? Aaron Rodgers: Growing up, because we didn’t have any money, I didn’t really have a watch. So when I got drafted, I bought this silly diamond bedazzled watch, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I still have it, and it still means a lot to me just because of the nostalgia associated with buying it. But I have always enjoyed wearing watches. I think there’s something classy about still rocking a wristwatch.
HL: Would you say that time is a construct? AR: Time is a construct for sure. The passing of time is an incredible marker for me to think back to what I was doing a year ago on a certain day. To look at the ocean and look at the growth and the change that has happened positively and experientially. Time is [also] a commodity. I heard this guy give a toast one time, and he said that. He talked about how the greatest currency in the world today is actually not money, it’s time, and we all have a certain amount of currency to spend. So spend it with the people who truly make your life better, the people you care about and who truly breathe life into you. I really, truly believe that that’s the most important currency that we have, because we get to choose who we want to spend our precious time with.
HL: What is your first watch memory growing up? AR: I always wanted a calculator watch. I remember watching a movie and thinking, Man, one day I’m gonna get a watch that has a calculator on it. That was the coolest thing ever. HL: How would you describe your style? Would you say it’s old-school? AR: I think so. My game is old-school. I don’t wear a mouthpiece; I wear a single strap, a paper-thin chin strap. The way I dress in my uniform is very kind of classic. I feel like there’s something to be said for that old-school mentality, old=school toughness, and that’s how I’ve always tried to play the game. With fashion, I’ve always loved different eras for different reasons, especially the ’50s and ’60s, the way people dressed back then with suits and top hats. I don’t dress up all the time, but when I do, I do it right. HL: Did you ever think you were born in the wrong era? AR: Wrong environment, wrong era — definitely. I’ve been a lover of history since I was really young. I studied it in college and probably lived through those eras in other lifetimes. I do love the simplicity and the class of some of those eras. John F. Kennedy is the perfect example: you don’t have to be in the fashion business to see the way he changed how suits were worn in the ’60s.
HL: Speaking of time, what do you hope the next year will bring? AR: I think I’m pretty surrendered at this point. As I look back on the last year in my life, I wanted to be in this position, but when you’re in that specific moment, it’s hard to see how it’s all going to play out. You have a desired destination for a year from now, or maybe a hope. And the beauty is looking back and seeing the choices that were made and the synchronicities that happened. The divine appointments, divine timing. It teaches you to surrender to the universe, but also to heighten your awareness and your intuition. There’s life happening all around you at all times, and it’s on you to try and find ways of tapping into those moments and not pass them off as coincidences. I think we lose the awe and the beauty in life when we don’t realize that things do happen divinely. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 25

MODERN MASTERPIECES 26 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
For the fall-winter 2021 collection, Nicolas Ghesquiere, Louis Vuitton’s artistic director of women’s collections, collaborated with renowned Italian artistic design atelier Fornasetti—further revealing the maison’s mission to blend the worlds of fashion and art. “With this collaboration, I wanted to use the pieces to evoke the continuing modernity of Fornasetti’s artistic world,” says Ghesquiere. “Fornasetti’s enduring body of work is the realization of a remarkable hand-drawn technique and magical take on the world, and I am particularly drawn to the way Fornasetti reexplored and reworked the heritage of classicism and ancient Rome, adding new references to historical imagery.” The collection is comprised of clothing and accessories that draw upon specific Fornasetti themes and artworks selected by Ghesquiere and artistic director Barnaba Fornasetti, such as the Cannes bag in the Fornasetti black-and-white architectural drawing reminiscent of the Renaissanceera Florence Baptistery, as well as velvet dresses and shimmery printed jersey tops featuring Fornasetti drawings of ancient statues overlaid on high-tech thermal-camera imagery. Ghesquiere’s contemporary eye and Fornasetti’s magical depiction of the world come together in this collection to create true modern masterpieces.

LOUIS VUITTON HAS INVITED SIX MORE INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED ARTISTS TO JOIN ITS ARTYCAPUCINES COLLECTION. HAUTE LIVING TOOK AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT EACH UNIQUE INTERPRETATION OF THE CLASSIC CAPUCINES BAG. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON
A luxury maison dedicated to fostering its relationship with the art world for nearly a century, Louis Vuitton continually commissions leading contemporary artists to bring their creative expression to its iconic pieces, to catapult the design beyond fashion. The brand has entered the third chapter of its limited-edition, artist-designed Artycapucines Collection, designed to provide artists with the distinctive Capucines design and silhouette as a blank canvas.
Like the previous collections by celebrated artists including Henry Taylor, Beatriz Milhazes, Urs Fischer, Zhao Zhao, JeanMichel Othoniel and Tschabalala Self, the third Artycapucines Collection captures the innovative Louis Vuitton spirit. Each artist’s intricate technique and creative process blends with the brand’s artisanal expertise, resulting in incredible works of art.

For the 2021 collection, Louis Vuitton partnered with six renowned artists — Zeng Fanzhi, Paola Pivi, Gregor Hildebrandt, Donna Huanca, Huang Yuxing and Vik Muniz — who reimagined the bag, fusing the beauty of their artistic background with the maison’s unparalleled craftsmanship.

Contemporary Chinese artist Zeng Fanzhi brought a Van Gogh self-portrait to life with more than 700,000 remarkably worked embroidery stitches. Zeng’s works have been revered for demonstrating intuitive psychological sense through meticulous expressionistic techniques. “I’ve been painting all my life; it’s the one thing I’ve always been good at,” he says. “I don’t think I ever thought twice about becoming an artist.” “The whole process was nourished by my experience of visual observation,” Zeng continues. “The Louis Vuitton artisans then added an extra layer to the process by developing their application of the work onto the bag’s surface, which reflects the texture of the original work really well.”

Italian multimedia artist Paola Pivi explored the complex leather marquetry and rich goldleaf gilding in her Capucines creation, creating a sophisticated and thought-provoking piece. “Working with specialists is part of all my work,” she says. “I’ve developed skills for doing that successfully, sticking to my original idea while gaining the input from another person to the advantage of the final work. So working with the Louis Vuitton experts was extremely pleasurable. They challenged themselves; nothing they did was easy. It required their maximum skills. They got really attracted to the graphic techniques that would replicate the image on the bag’s surface: the cups inserted by marquetry onto the bag, gold leaf applied where the cappuccino would be and the leopard rendered in a very special embroidery.” Pivi adds, “I am totally happy because I’ve been so involved in the creation of the bag with the Louis Vuitton team. My art has been protected because of the quality of the entire operation, and wherever the bag might go, I think it will feel sophisticated. Plus, it looks like the kind of bag that elicits conversation.”

“I studied art in Mainz and then moved to Berlin in the mid-1990s, and around this time I started thinking about how to integrate music physically into my painting work,” he explains. “The Einstürzende Neubauten song ‘Falsch Geld’ [‘Fake Money’] perfectly encapsulated what I wanted to say, so I took the physical audio cassette tape of the song and glued it into my drawing book. This metamorphosis of bringing music into painting led me to start working with different types of analogue audio and visual materials, such as vinyl and VHS tape, which I incorporate into paintings and installation works. I have always been interested in motifs, logos and patterns, and this merging of music and the Louis Vuitton signature feels like a new technique.”

Working with various textiles to create purposeful, tactile works of art is how Donna Huanca authentically expresses her vision. Her Capucines bag is designed with handpainted embroidery and piercing rings in a range of textured blue shades. “This Capucines bag is based on a work that incorporates collage from body paintings that were part of my Piedra Quemada performance and installation at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna,” she says. “My work is rooted in collage — I assemble materials, images, colors and textures in paintings, sculptures and installations, as well as in sound and scent works. Likewise, this bag is a collage of past works, as well as sensations of texture that resurface in my works. Working at the relatively small scale of a bag reminds me of the body paintings that inspire all my painting. Painting on [the] skin is very freeing, as an ephemeral, interactive and affective site for expression. My instinct was to project my work onto this special Capucines bag using Louis Vuitton’s incredible savoir faire to create vibrant colors, unique textures and unexpected surfaces that are the vocabulary of my work.” @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 41
Huang Yuxing is recognized for his ability to create pieces that preserve the evolution of the artistic process through vibrant brushstrokes. His Capucines creation is beautifully embroidered and brilliantly colored, in true Huang fashion. “This bag was inspired by Images Hidden in the Hills, a series of painting works on the theme of mountains that I have been working on for the past five years,” he reveals. “I was keen to transfer my personal vision, my current style, my signature artistic symbols, and my sense of color and line from the canvas to the bag.” “It is both interesting and challenging for me to think that different people around the world will be carrying this bag around in different spaces,” he adds. “The bag will accompany different conversations and different everyday activities rather than simply remaining static in an exhibition.”

Brazilian artist and photographer Vik Muniz was initially a sculptor, which is often reflected in his work. For this collaboration he incorporated his characteristically joyful design, with its effervescent trompe l’oeil effects and playful aesthetic. “I loved connecting with Louis Vuitton’s experts,” Muniz says. “When I see the bag, I can tell that so much skill and attention was put into its creation. The fact that Louis Vuitton trusted me to do something with my work and I trusted them to take that work and transform it into a beautiful bag resonates with the values in my work. The challenge for me was figuring out how to make the bag work, navigating all the decisions about form and configuration and technique and finish.” He adds, “The destiny of any artwork is always beyond your control, and I’m happy with that. Handbags are like little sculptures, and the Artycapucines project is like a series of little pictures framed within bags that you can take anywhere with you.”

eternally gucci This year marks the centennial of the iconic Italian luxury fashion house. For creative director Alessandro Michele, Gucci’s long history cannot be contained within a single inaugural act. “In my work, I caress the roots of the past to create unexpected inflorescences, carving the matter through grafting and pruning,” he says. “I appeal to such abilities to reinhabit what has already been given. And to the blending, the transitions, the fractures, the concatenations.” To celebrate the brand’s monumental milestone, the Aria collection for fall/winter 2021 reimagines the famous Bamboo Bag in a range of styles, as well as presenting a new collection of contemporary gender-neutral jewelry, Link to Love.

watch in its collection that combines timeless appeal with a hightech nature. It’s the perfect watch for modern, successful women, and not least because Mille continues to innovate with it. This legacy now gets another chapter with three new RM 07-01 models. What sets them apart from their predecessors is their case, which is crafted from ceramic in pastel colors. Getting these colors in ceramic is extremely challenging, as pigments tend to burn up when exposed to the high temperatures needed to make the material. Mille not only overcame these difficulties but was able to make the ceramic in three stunning pastel colors: blue, pink and lavender. They all have a matte finish that gives the watches a unique appeal, further accentuated by a charismatic dial. Mille combined rubber, ceramic and guilloche to create contrasting colors and textures. The result is not only refreshing but also highly artistic. The mixture of a centuries-old

craft like guilloche with high-tech materials is what sets these limited editions of the RM 07-01 apart. The dashing colors continue in the crown, as well as with the strap, of which each side has a color of its own. It adds a fun quality to what is otherwise a very serious piece of haute horlogerie. The RM 07-01 is powered by caliber CRMA2, made in-house by Mille. It comes with a stunning variable-geometry oscillating weight in red gold, which can be admired through the sapphire caseback. There, the rest of the movement also can be seen, with its skeletonized bridges and main plate. While Mille may be running one of the most progressive brands in the industry, he has a deep respect for the history of watchmaking, utilizing the same decorating techniques as those who have come before him, yet in a far more avant-garde way. These new RM 07-01s are the perfect testimony to this, showing the philosophy inside and out.

+The Beauty of the Night Sky The Grand Seiko SBGZ007 celebrates Seiko’s 140th anniversary. BY MARTIN GREEN
PHOTO COURTESY OF GRAND SEIKO
THE WATCHMAKERS OF GRAND SEIKO’S MICRO
Artist Studio in Shiojiri, Japan, have created yet another masterpiece to celebrate Seiko’s 140th anniversary. Named SBGZ007, it is reminiscent of the SBGZ001, mainly thanks to its textured platinum case. The texture itself is, however, quite different. The artisans took inspiration from the night sky over their manufacture and decorated the Zaratsu polished case with a starlike pattern. This further highlights the slim and elegant profile of the case, which has a diameter of 38.5mm and is only 9.8mm thick. A deep blue dial is customary when a brand wants to bring to life the beauty of the night sky. Most opt for aventurine, a type of glass with gold flecks in it representing the stars. Grand Seiko took a different approach. They combined stamping, plating and painting to recreate the sky and all its stars. The result is mesmerizing, and the longer you look at the dial, the more stars you see. The rest of the dial of the SBGZ007 has been kept rather sober. The hour markers are made from white gold to ensure that they will retain their brilliance for decades to come. The sword hands clearly indicate the time and make a powerful impression, giving the watch even more character. Such a great watch deserves a great movement, and caliber 9R02 is nothing less. Fitted with a spring drive, it was initially launched in 2019 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this proprietary technology. Thanks to this, the SBGZ007’s deviate is just 15 seconds a month, an unprecedented accuracy. The movement is fitted with two main springs in a single barrel that, thanks to an ingenious torque return system, offers a generous 84-hour power reserve. As can be expected of Grand Seiko, the finishing of the movement is superb. It can be admired in all its glory at the back of the watch, with its anglage and blue tempered screws. There we also find a small gold plaque that can be engraved with a text of choice. The SBGZ007 is limited to 50 pieces and available at the Grand Seiko boutiques.

a Single Click Roger Dubuis partners again with Pirelli to create the latest Excalibur Spider. BY MARTIN GREEN
IN THE WORLD OF RACING, COLORS ARE OF GREAT
importance, not only to recognize your opponent or signals from the stewards at the side of the track but also when it comes to your tires. Brands like Pirelli use color codes for each compound, making it easy to see the difference. With a race car, switching between the various types of tires is normal during the different stages of a race. While a super-soft tire might be great to set a fast lap time, a harder compound is needed to drive a longer stint. As Pirelli is a partner of Roger Dubuis, the two brands thought that if this is possible with high-performance race cars, why not with watches? From this idea, the new Excalibur Spider Pirelli was born. Thanks to an innovative system, the strap, bezel and even the crown can be changed in just a single click. This allows you to play with the iconic color codes Pirelli uses for its racing
tires. Available in red, white or blue, these “racing kits” take the need for speed to the next level, and changing them feels like a pitstop (and takes the same amount of time). The inner parts of the strap and bezel are based on the famous Pirelli Cinturato Intermediate tire. This texture gives the Excalibur Spider Pirelli a lot of character while adding dynamic contrast to the colored details. While a (race) car is nothing without its engine, a watch can’t do without a movement. The Excalibur Spider Pirelli is fitted with caliber RD820SQ. This movement is skeletonized in the brand’s signature star shape and features a refined finish that allows it to carry the prestigious Geneva Seal. The power comes from a micro-rotor, which can be admired at the front of the watch. The total power reserve is 60 hours, more than enough for an endurance race, during which you can now swap your watch to match the color of your tires.

+The Next Level in 3D Carbon The stately Hublot mp-09 arrives in four colorful new versions. THE MP-09 HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN IMPOSING WATCH
within the Hublot collection. It is the brand’s first bi-axis tourbillon, which gets center stage thanks to the uniquely shaped case that follows the curve of the wrist. This alone makes the MP-09 a masterpiece, as crafting all the different angles is highly complex. Initially, the model was launched in king gold, black 3D carbon, and titanium. Now, Hublot is launching an additional four different versions, all in colored 3D carbon. While the material was already used impressively in the all-black version of the MP-09, color highlights the unique pattern of the 3D carbon even further. Hublot achieves this by solution-dyeing part of the carbon so that the colored parts form a symmetrical pattern that runs all the way through the material. The brand is offering the new watch in four different colors, each limited to only eight pieces. They are available in blue, red, yellow and green, and they come with matching 72 HAUTE LIVING hautetime.com
rubber straps as well as hands and hour markers. They make a profoundly colorful statement, all the more because the case is an imposing 49mm in diameter and 17.95mm thick. Equally impressive is the movement inside the case. Caliber HUB9009.H1.RA is a manual wound movement with a generous power reserve of five days. It comes with a bi-axis tourbillon housed in a separate part of the case at 6 o’clock. There it performs its mesmerizing dance with a full rotation every minute for the first axis, while it takes the second axis 30 seconds to do the same. To ensure a perfect view, the MP-09 is fitted with a sapphire crystal with an antireflective coating on both sides. Hublot placed the date on the side of the off-center subdial for the hours and minutes, which can easily be adjusted by the lever at 9 o’clock. Combined, it all makes for a spectacular interpretation of one of Hublot’s most imposing tourbillons.

MUST-HAVES Dr. Kiran Gill launches her own medical skincare line.
plastic and reconstructive surgeon with specialty fellowship training in aesthetic surgery of the face, breast, and body. In 2018, she founded Aesthetics in Plastic Surgery by Kiran Gill, MD, the only female-owned boutique plastic surgery and aesthetic practice in Southwest Florida. Dr. Gill and her team offer surgical and nonsurgical options for both men and women, including face, breast, and body rejuvenation procedures as well as a variety of noninvasive skin and spa treatments in a private, tranquil, stateof-the-art environment. Dr. Gill just announced the launch of her new medical skincare line. Created with cutting-edge cosmetic science and powerful medicalgrade active ingredients, the line of five restorative and anti-aging products fills the gap in the regional medical skincare market. The line will be available to Dr. Gill’s current and new patients and will be recommended based on their skincare needs. “Skincare has always been a passion of mine, and I believe good skincare should effect change,” says Dr. Gill. “After having children and moving to Florida, I saw changes in my skin, like hyperpigmentation, dullness and sun spots. To address these issues and meet the needs and cosmetic goals of my patients, I created these innovative skincare products in partnership with leading scientists in the field.” The new line incorporates proven anti-aging antioxidants and retinol, natural skin brighteners, as well as hydroquinone for those who need more aggressive treatment. In addition, the revitalizing thermal facial exfoliant preps the skin through thermal-mechanical exfoliation — an important part of every skincare regimen, since products are more effective on exfoliated skin. The last component is the body scrub. Dr. Gill included this product because bodies are more exposed to the sun in Florida, and aging skin is often overlooked.

Cosmetic Surgery
UNDER 18? Haute Beauty experts share their thoughts.
anything and everything to look “Insta perfect.” While most opt for makeup, some are turning to cosmetic surgery to achieve aesthetically pleasing features. If you’re under 18 and on the fence about whether to get plastic surgery, read on to see what our Haute Beauty experts advise.
DR. EARL STEPHENSON | FACE | ATLANTA
The subject of plastic for teens is controversial, so it warrants discussion and understanding. Teenagers often have plastic surgery to improve physical characteristics they feel are awkward or flawed, that if left uncorrected may affect them well into adulthood. Teenagers also tend to have plastic surgery to fit in with peers. Common physical characteristics or concerns a teenager may wish to correct include a misshapen nose, protruding ears, overly large breasts, asymmetrical breasts, or severe acne and scarring. A key component concerning potential teenage patients is understanding their motive for surgery and ensuring that they receive a careful and extensive preoperative evaluation to ensure they are appropriate candidates for their desired procedures. Social media contributes to increased requests from teens to alter their appearance: this phenomenon has been at times dubbed “Snapchat dysmorphia,” which has patients seeking out cosmetic surgery to look like filtered versions of themselves, with fuller lips, bigger eyes or a thinner nose. Not every teenager seeking plastic surgery is well suited for an operation. Teens must demonstrate emotional maturity and an understanding of the limitations of plastic surgery. Parents should also evaluate their teenager’s physical and emotional maturity. Together, they should seek careful evaluation during the investigation and decisionmaking stages, under the guidance of a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The decision to proceed with the surgery is an individual one, but there is a common principle followed by plastic surgeons concerning the most reasonable age of operation. The most consistent age is agreeably 18 years; the one consistent exception would be surgery for ages 5 through 7 for ear pinning [otoplasty]. The ear stops growing and reaches adult size by age 5. As with all consultations, we want to collect the medical and psychological history from the patient, and we also want to provide education about our capabilities as plastic surgeons and talk to the patient and their family about what is appropriate and reasonable. 78 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty
DR. RICHARD ZIENOWICZ | BODY | BOSTON/PROVIDENCE Plastic surgery is a powerful tool to address many aesthetic issues for all age groups. It really can change lives positively for some people. An operation will not cure unhappiness, sadness or depression; however, in the best-case scenario, it may deliver a new sense of self-confidence. Tell your surgeon what you are trying to accomplish. Be honest about what you expect and why it is so important to you.
DR. JEFFREY LEE | BREAST | BOSTON
I generally advise against any cosmetic surgery for teenagers under the age of 18. Your body has the potential to change up until age 18 and sometimes after 18. Until you are sure that nothing will change dramatically, I generally advise against doing anything permanent. The other reason I feel this way is that before the age of 18, you are not consenting for yourself for any procedure. Even with cosmetic procedures, there are small amounts of risk that can lead to unexpected outcomes. I feel that the patient should be the one to understand what they are getting themselves involved in and be able to sign for themselves. The last reason I advise against cosmetic surgery before 18 is that how you want to look may dramatically change once you cross over the 18-year mark. The last thing you want to do is change yourself a certain way only to find that you actually wanted something different one or two years down the road.
DR. DAISY AYIM | BODY | HOUSTON
My best recommendation for anyone younger than 18 seeking cosmetic procedures depends on the procedures and reason. Our society is bodyconscious, and there is an overwhelming desire to have instant resolution, especially in the cosmetic world. I feel that delaying cosmetic procedures is a wise approach, and clarity in this journey is paramount to lifelong satisfaction.
DR. KIRAN GILL | BODY | NAPLES, FLORIDA
My advice is to understand what your treatment options are and to take the time to choose your surgeon carefully. While a few surgical procedures are fairly commonplace among teens, including nose surgery [rhinoplasty] and breast surgery [augmentation] or reduction, liposuction is not advised, and others should still be approached with caution, including nonsurgical treatments. The Juvéderm line of hyaluronic acid fillers, for example, is FDA-approved for adults over the age of 21. A reputable surgeon has your best interest in mind, will weigh the benefits and the risks, will consider your physical growth and mental maturity, and will tell you if you are well suited for a procedure.

THERE’S NO DENYING THAT TODAY’S TEENAGERS ARE TRYING

DR. JOSE RODRÍGUEZ-FELIZ | EYELID SURGERY, FACE | MIAMI/FORT LAUDERDALE
Anyone considering cosmetic surgery must do their due diligence. Younger patients can very easily be influenced by social media, and in reality, the number of followers does not necessarily correlate with the quality of care and results you will get. Also, finding the correct plastic surgeon for the procedure you want to have done can take time. Do not make any rushed decisions. In today’s world, it’s a lot easier to look for the correct surgeon, as the digital world has allowed great exposure to our field. For those who are younger, I always emphasize the importance of doing cosmetic surgery for the correct reasons. This is not to try to be like someone else or look for perfection. Cosmetic surgery can help boost your spirit when the right expectations are set and the procedure is done for the correct reasons.
DR. JHONNY SALOMON | FACE, NOSE | MIAMI/FORT LAUDERDALE
The best time to have a rhinoplasty is when you stop growing, which is usually around 14 to 16 years of age for most teenagers. The best way to know when you have stopped growing is when your shoe size has not changed in over six months. A rhinoplasty performed at this time will have a long-lasting result. Also, teenagers in that age range usually have enough maturity to make the decision — with the help of their parents.
DR. JASON BLOOM | FACE | PHILADELPHIA AREA
I do see several patients in my practice who are under the age of 18. This is because I perform only facial plastic surgery procedures, and a few of them are common for younger patients. In my practice, rhinoplasty and otoplasty are the two most common reasons that I see patients under the age of 18 for cosmetic procedures. There are a few things that these patients should know when they seek out cosmetic surgery. The first is that they are minors and will need a parent or guardian to attend the consult, pre-op meeting and surgery with them. They must have that parent or guardian sign all the informed consent forms with them for the procedures, so it is important to get that person on board with the idea. I actually really encourage anyone seeking cosmetic procedures to bring a family member, parent or significant other with them when we discuss the operation or do an evaluation so that everyone is on the same page and understands the risks, benefits and alternatives to surgery. I advise most minors to discuss what is bothering them about their face or nose with their parents prior to coming into the office. Additionally, during the consult, I always speak directly to the patient and not the parent. I have had situations where the minor says “They’ll tell you” and points to their parent, but I turn back to them and have them explain to me what is bothering them. Additionally, patients under the age of 18 are highly influenced by social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok and others. They may be requesting a procedure because their favorite social media star had something done and they want to look like them. It is critical to have a candid discussion about the limitations of surgery to make sure their goals are reasonable and obtainable. I often explain that not everyone’s nose is right for everyone else’s face; it has to fit and be harmonious with the rest of the patient’s features. Also, making sure that the patient’s expectations are realistic is very important. Surgery is not a robotic or mechanical process; it is literally a handmade operation, and a talk about working toward an achievable and natural outcome is imperative. Furthermore, minors sometimes have social reasons for wanting cosmetic procedures. Their peers may be teasing them in school about their nose or ears, and it is important to hear the stories about their motivations for surgery. Having discussions with the patient and their guardians will help everyone understand why they are looking to have these procedures.
BEAUTY
Finally, there are basic age cutoffs for cosmetic surgery procedures. In general, an otoplasty shouldn’t be performed before the age of 5 or 6. At that point, the child is of school age and the ears are about 85 percent of their adult size. Also, I typically do not perform rhinoplasty on boys younger than 16 or girls younger than 15. There are growth centers in the septal cartilage, and the nose is still changing until that age.
DR. ALGIE LABRASCA | BODY | PITTSBURGH AREA
I believe that there are only a few reasonable instances to perform actual cosmetic (not functional plastic surgery) in patients under 18 years of age. The most common of these on the face would be otoplasty, or ear pinning of prominent ears, and rhinoplasty, or nose job. For the body, these include correction of breast asymmetry or reduction of very large breasts or removal of breasts in males (gynecomastia). Each of these can be a major source of low self-esteem and depression, and correction of these issues can greatly improve this. When considering whether to perform surgery on a teen, I want to make sure that they know what they are getting into. This is an adult decision, and they have to be the one making it (with parental consent). I also have age limits. For example, I won’t do a breast reduction on anyone under 16, yet I won’t do a reduction on just anyone who is 16 if I don’t think she’s mature enough. Other common procedures, like liposuction, tummy tuck, or BBL, can wait until they are older.
DR. P. DANIEL WARD | FACE | SALT LAKE CITY
The decision to undergo cosmetic surgery can be a tricky one. One must be aware of all of the emotional aspects that can be associated with aesthetic surgery, especially when it comes to young patients who want to receive cosmetic surgery. The best advice that I feel I can offer to a young patient who wants to receive cosmetic surgery would be to talk the situation over with their parents, who should be able to provide proper guidance and advice. Two of the most common areas in for which young patients seek to undergo plastic surgery are an overly prominent nose or overly prominent ears, and these cases can serve as a good illustration of the complexities of the issues that arise with surgery for young patients. Both of these areas of the body can cause feelings of embarrassment due to the fact that a single anatomical area can lead to the emphasis being placed on that anatomic area instead of on the person inside. Most people think that those who undergo aesthetic surgery are doing so because they are overly concerned with how they look. In actuality, these patients ironically undergo aesthetic surgery for the complete opposite reason. They undergo the surgery because other people are not seeing who they truly are inside, because of the distracting nose or ears. I think that young patients should discuss these issues with their parents, who should provide guidance and help the patient understand the feelings and emotions related to the issue at hand. Parents need to be aware that there can be severe psychological distress from these features that far outweighs the risks of undergoing a rhinoplasty or otoplasty procedure that can resolve the respective nose or ear issues once and for all. On the other hand, parents also need to be aware that their child who is seeking cosmetic surgery is not doing it with unreasonable expectations that his or her life will completely change simply due to the surgery. The surgery simply addresses the overly distracting feature which should remove that obstacle from the patient as a source of anxiety or stress. This is clearly a complicated issue, and the patient’s hopes and desires for the procedure should be discussed with the patient, his or her parents, and the surgeon to help ensure that the patient is undergoing the procedure for health reasons. hauteliving.com/hautebeauty HAUTE LIVING

THE AMAZING RACE TO SPACE FROM SPACE SIMULATIONS TO STARGAZING EXPEDITIONS, ASTROTOURISM IS HITTING A FEVER PITCH. HERE ARE THE BEST EXPERIENCES TO INFINITY AND BEYOND. BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
Per aspera ad astra means “through adversity to the stars.” And when it comes to space travel, yes, it’s been a struggle. But no more. The Orbital Assembly Corporation (OAC) will open the first commercial space station operating with artificial gravity by 2025, while Space Perspective will become the first space launch operator to launch from the Space Coast Spaceport, located adjacent to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, and will offer a luxurious six-hour trip inside Spaceship Neptune — 100,000 feet into space, to the tune of $125,000 — when it launches in late 2024. And now that Sir Richard Branson and Amazon titan Jeff Bezos have headed into orbit, with Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk soon to follow, astrotourism is travel’s latest buzzword. While we mere mortals may not make it to outer space as quickly as the world’s wealthiest, those who have the funds can stay at some five-star hotels with stargazing experiences and even play at space travel with Orbite’s new astronaut orientation training in France. Here, we deep dive into the cosmos to unearth some of the best experiences for those who can’t head to the stars themselves…yet.

ORBITE
PLAY
Experiential travel has been an upward trend for many years, and there’s no experience more unique than astronaut training. Civilians with deep pockets can pay to play at going to space with a new program from Orbite, a company founded by French hospitality giant and video game creator Nicolas Gaume as well as Jason Andrews, a major player in the aerospace start-up world. Guests indulge in a series of activities that not only simulate going into the galaxy but also prepare them for it, led by director of spaceflight training Brienna Rommes (who actually prepared Sir Branson, among others, for his own orbital journey) while staying and playing in a luxurious way. Below is a sampling of what Orbite, which will be constantly evolving and changing until its super-secret dedicated space complex opens in the U.S. in 2024, offered during its inaugural voyage. Altogether, the four-night three-day training is truly out of this world and sets the bar high for future civilian space-preparation experiences. orbitespace.com

The crux of the Orbite experience is space training itself. The team prepares you for the galaxy beyond in the best of ways, with immersive lectures and seminars led by a team of VIP experts (for privacy purposes, we must keep their names secret, but let’s just say they’re exceptional and elite members of the space community), combined with a VR experience to showcase the different types of aircrafts available to astronauts and civilians so you can follow in the footsteps of Branson, Bezos and company. Then, there is a simulation of what said experiences might be like, thoughtfully designed by a leading space psychologist as well as an Air Zero G experience of astronaut-like weightlessness, followed by a 4G flight to experience the pressures and rigors of skyrocketing into space, which allows guests to test themselves physically and monitor their fear by engaging in a series of aerial tricks —and even fly a plane themselves.

TRAVEL
STAY
DINE
Dinner reservations at La Co(o)rniche are hard to come by, as much for the spectacular sunset view as its lengthy cocktail and wine list and seafood-heavy menu, but the pièce de résistance of Orbite’s culinary offerings is an afternoon catered by the Ducasse Counseil. With this partnership between three-Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse and the National Center for Space Studies and the European Space Agency, “special event” meals are prepared for astronauts only; civilians have not, thus far, been allowed to see, never mind taste, the fare fitted into these doppelganger caviar tins. However, during a Michelin-starred food lab, Ducasse’s team offered a sneak peek into gourmet space food, offering a side-byside comparison of the same freshly prepared and prepackaged meal, which here included blue lobster with organic quinori; buckwheat with tandoori, radishes and bell onions; and cod with piquillos and black rice from Camargue. Post-presentation, guests were treated to two of five existing magnums of G.H. Mumm cuvee 1969, the same year (non-coincidentally) as the moon landing.
LA CO(O)RNICHE
La Co(o)rniche is magical. Located on the French coast of the PilatPlage area, overlooking the Bassin d’Arcachon and leaning against the highest dune in Europe with views of Cap Ferret just three miles away from Bordeaux, there’s definitely a French Riviera vibe here, though with a laid-back, elite sensibility that’s completely its own. As redesigned in all white by icon Philippe Starck, the rooms offer up modern seaside glamour and still manage to pay homage to the oyster farming the area is known for. Its history as a former 1930s hunting lodge — a neo-Basque house sheltering under the pine trees — is a beautiful reminder that the past and present can merge seamlessly. lacoorniche-pyla.com

SONEVA JANI
CONRAD BORA BORA NUI
Beautiful Bora Bora, a dreamy destination in French Polynesia known for its white sand beaches, sparkling turquoise waters and relaxed island ambiance, is one of the world’s most lauded honeymoon hot spots. Any love affair written in the stars should be celebrated with a romantic stargazing experience, and here, it’s incredible. From your pool deck villa on the private island of Motu To’opua (which also has a second private inlet just for hotel guests), spend a few hours gazing up at the stars through the lens of the resort’s powerful Sky Watcher Classic 200P telescope, all while enjoying a bottle of Billecart Salmon champagne and some personalized sweet treats. Then spend the next day snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, opening coconuts, braiding coco leaves, playing the ukulele or learning Tahitian. Or just sleep in and enjoy that romantic South Pacific vibe. conradhotels3.hilton.com/en/hotels/french-polynesia/ conrad-bora-bora-nui-PPTBNCI/index.html
ANANTARA KIHAVAH MALDIVES
Time spent at Anantara Kihavah Maldives includes great adventure and discovery — swimming with manta rays, underwater dining, a private cinema under the stars — and now the night sky, too. The aptly named SKY houses the Maldives’ only overwater observatory, combined with a unique luxury cocktail bar with ocean views from every angle, a resident storytelling “Sky Guru” and, most important, the most powerful telescope in the region: a research-grade 16-inch Meade LX200, mounted on a giant field tripod. Sip on a glass of champagne or a custom island-inspired cocktail while resident astronomer Ali Shameem (a student of astronomy greats such as Giovanni Benjamin of the University of Padua’s department of physics and astronomy, and astronaut Buzz Aldrin) points out the pale yellow rings of Saturn or the counter-rotating zones and belts of Jupiter that vary in width, color and intensity from year to year, or — his favorite sight — the Omega Centauri, a globular cluster in the Milky Way. The Maldives’ location just above the equator means the stars of both hemispheres are visible from Anantara Kihavah. When coupled with minimal light pollution and open skies, this place is, well, out of this world. anantara.com/en/kihavah-maldives

Barefoot luxury has never been better embodied than by the Soneva brand, which prides itself on offering just that at its plethora of properties in the Maldives and Thailand. At Soneva Jani, in the Noonu Atoll of the Maldives (which, like the rest of the company’s gorgeous luxury retreats, is 100 percent carbon-neutral), every indulgence is met, such as a stay in an overwater bungalow with a personal water slide, catching a classic flick on a big screen in the ocean, sunset dolphin cruises, and now the So Starstruck astronomy dinner. At the state-of-the-art, Bond-inspired overwater observatory, guests can sit back and enjoy great food and drinks while the in-house astronomer takes them on a journey through the night sky (using a 16-inch telescope that rises from the floor of the starlight platform overlooking the Indian Ocean). The entire experience — which includes a four-course meal with wine pairings — lasts for three absolutely magical hours. soneva.com/resorts/soneva-jani

LEOBO PRIVATE RESERVE
South Africa’s Leobo Private Reserve, overlooking the Palala Valley, isn’t just one of the best places to go on safari — it’s also one of the best for stargazing. The Waterberg Observatory’s fully automated copper-colored dome houses two different types of telescopes: a 20-inch corrected Dahl Kirkham for star, planet and nebulae-gazing, and an eight-inch Hydrogen Alpha for looking directly into the sun. Because of Leobo’s remote location, there is virtually no light pollution, so it’s possible to see objects down to magnitude 7.4 (the limit of the human eye is normally magnitude 6). As designed by award-winning architects Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens, the Observatory is a masterpiece. The state-of-the-art house is the ultimate luxurious stay for the starry-eyed, thanks to a heated infinity pool, rooftop jacuzzi, double-storied library and massage beds. There are unique touches here as well, such as a steel-engineered roof that supports a covered veranda, a wildebeest-hide ceiling and an immense hippo-skeleton chandelier that hovers over the sandstone dining table. The Observatory is also serviced by a butler, maid and chef, who is personally flown in to create epicurean cuisine tailored to each guest’s preference. Additionally, those who book this retreat are offered thermal imaging equipment for nighttime game viewing, four quad bikes, two 700cc racing quad bikes and an electric camouflage golf buggy, as well as activities such as a starlight safari with a local astronomer, target shooting with sniper rifles, bass fishing and use of the estate’s private chopper. leoboprivatereserve.com
LITTLE KULALA
On 27,000 acres of pristine desert landscape in the heart of Namibia’s Sossusvlei Desert lies Little Kulala, a certified Dark Sky Reserve. With 11 suites, each with its own sleep-out deck and star bed, this resort offers truly unparalleled stargazing. The Namib is known for its clear night skies, and with no light pollution, Little Kulala is the ideal spot from which to see the Milky Way stretching overhead, alongside Magellanic Cloud bursts and thousands of groupings of stars seen in few other places. Wilderness Safaris guides lead nighttime sky explorations so guests get a deeper understanding of the constellations and planets they’re seeing. It’s a special spot, to be sure, and one that includes daytime adventures such as hot-air ballooning excursions over the vast desert landscape (ending with an Out of Africa champagne breakfast), game drives through the Namib and an Olympus photo hub experience, where guests can use full sets of Olympus camera equipment to work on their landscape and wildlife photography skills. wilderness-safaris.com/our-camps/camps/little-kuala
MONTAGE HEALDSBURG
Montage Healdsburg, a new addition to California’s wine country, is maximizing its potential by unveiling an exceptional new astrotourism experience. The $95,000 Sky’s the Limit package includes two nights in the resort’s three-bedroom Guest House, a 4,600-square-foot hideaway with sprawling views of Mount St. Helena and the Alexander Valley, as well as a private dinner for up to six people. Then guests head to nearby Santa Rosa to take a private tour of the Robert Ferguson Observatory, the largest observatory in the western United States (with several telescopes to prove it, including a 40-inch reflector telescope and a two-meterlong refractor telescope with an eight-inch front lens), located in Sugarloaf Ridge State Park. Last, guests receive a personalized two-hour photography session with acclaimed astrophotographer Rachid Dahnoun — who has has earned a spot on the Nikon 100 List — to create a night sky image to take home. montagehotels/healdsburhealdsburg an ideal location for stargazing, surrounded by a protective ring of hills that decrease the light pollution from nearby cities.

MEETS +LUXURY SUSTAINABILITY One does not mean sacrificing the other. BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

NESTLED AT THE BASE OF THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS, WITH SWEEPING VIEWS FROM
downtown to Santa Monica, 1 Hotel West Hollywood draws inspiration from the land, sea and sunshine of Southern California. Designed by DoveHill, with interiors by AvroKO and Zen-like landscapes by Rios Clementi Hale Studios, this serene, LEED Silver-certified property on the iconic Sunset Strip showcases sustainable luxury at its best, thanks to a design that brings the outside in. Think floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the hills; thoughtful natural touches like native greenery, reclaimed wood and clay tones; marble bathrooms and organic bedding. Outdoor spaces — the Canyon, a granite pathway that runs between reclaimed wood planters housing olive trees and wild native plants; the Skyline Deck, a large, open area perfect for outdoor yoga and fitness; and the Garden, a sanctuary with cascading vines and potted plants that doubles as a 300-person event space — add to the hotel’s overlying green theme. It is also one of the most sustainable hotels in Los Angeles, thanks to an Energy Star score of 95, smart irrigation sensors, LED lighting, on-site composting, electric vehicle charging stations and even inroom chalkboards in lieu of pads of paper. Though 1 Hotel’s focus is sustainability, that doesn’t mean amenities or little luxuries are sacrificed. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Guests can soak up the sun and the breathtaking views of the L.A. skyline from the pool deck and get their sweat on at the Field House, a fully equipped gym with treadmills, ellipticals, a rowing machine, weights and two Peloton bikes. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors in here as well, with natural light and 360-degree views of the City of Angels. It is also home to the unique and exceptional FaceGym, where trainers perform a range of facial workouts and employ the latest cutting-edge technology and high-performance skincare products. There’s even a private screening room. Last but not least are the many culinary offerings. Chef Ginger Pierce of Jams at 1 Hotel Central Park West has taken over 1 Kitchen, which serves up locally and sustainably sourced California cuisine (using vegetables from its organic garden and honey from an on-site beehive) in a light-filled and artfully designed space with a white oak and cedar ceiling, hand-painted tiles, Venetian plaster walls and locally crafted furnishings. Its bar offers coldpressed juice cocktails and a healthy wine list rife with biodynamic and organic options. At Juniper Tree, a bar and lounge that’s rooted in a sense of place thanks to its reclaimed wood flooring, oak, elm and teak furnishings and lush greenery, guests can indulge in handcrafted cocktails sourced from the on-site garden, with house-made syrups and fresh garnishes. Additionally, h.wood group mainstay Harriet’s Rooftop offers some good old-fashioned WeHo revelry with remarkable panoramic views and elevated craft cocktails. 1 Hotel West Hollywood, 8490 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood; 1hotels.com/west-hollywood

THE CHARITABLE GAME PHILANTHROPIST JAMIE TISCH ON CO-CHAIRING THE ASPEN ART MUSEUM’S VIRTUAL ARTCRUSH BENEFIT — AND WHY SHE’S DRIVEN TO GIVE BACK. BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
Haute Living: Tell us about your involvement with ArtCrush and what you hoped the event would achieve. Jamie Tisch: This year’s ArtCrush was a huge success, raising more money than ever before! I’m always excited to help raise money for the Aspen Art Museum. Outside of incredible museum programming, the institution has wonderful programing for schools in a 250-mile radius that would otherwise not have access to art. HL: Were there any specific pieces you had your eye on from this year’s live auction? JT: I am sad to say I was outbid on the Vaugh Spann, the Rita Ackerman and the Mary Weatherford. I have to up my game next year! HL: Tell us about the vision behind Pitkin Projects and what shoppers can expect. JT: [When I co-chaired the benefit], I was inspired and knew it was time to take on a new project. I reached out to Lisa Eisner, [Edie Parker founder] Brett Heyman, David Netto, Gregory Parkinson, Salon 94 Design, Meredith Darrow, Friedman Benda and many more incredible talents with the goal of fostering a collaborative design-concept gallery environment. The doors opened in July 2020 with a plan to continue 120 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
through Labor Day. We were overwhelmed by the reception! By the end of August, I decided that the concept deserved to live on as its own entity. HL: With travel on pause during the pandemic, how were you able to curate the global pieces for the shop? JT: Travel has been on pause, but artists’ work has not. I have worked via FaceTime with most of them, abroad and in the States. I am able to walk them through to show them how their work would live organically in our space. I have also been able to do many virtual studio visits, which has worked well. HL: Why do you give back? Why is it so personally important to you? JT: Giving back is extremely important to me and has been for decades. I cofounded the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, which is a program of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The WCRF mobilizes the influential entertainment community to raise critical funds. I am working on something new for WCRF that several Pitkin Projects vendors have said they would like to participate in. It’s still in the early stages, but I’m excited to have a way to combine two things that I care deeply about. HL: When did you start collecting art, and why? JT: I started collecting contemporary art when I moved to Los Angeles. It’s there where I met with some amazing artists who inspired me. Each showed me a different perspective on how to look at things and perceive art, everything ranging from my upbringing in the South to today’s current events. HL: What to you is the greatest luxury in life, and why? JT: The greatest gift in life is being able to travel and spend time with my family.
