A genIe in a bottLE WHEN IT COMES TO ZZ’S CLUB NEW YORK, YOUR WISH IS MARIO CARBONE’S COMMAND: ANYTHING YOU WANT IS AVAILABLE — WITH A MEMBERSHIP, THAT IS.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER PHOTOGRAPHY SCOTT MCDERMOTT GROOMING WALTON NUNEZ SHOT ON LOCATION AT ZZ’S CLUB, NEW YORK

@hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 15

“I

am a genie in a bottle,” deadpans Mario Carbone. Up until this point in our Zoom chat, I have been fixed by the “Carbone Stare” — a stern, unsmiling expression both coined and implemented by the worldrenowned restaurateur himself. His gaze is so steely that I feel like I’m going to be scolded or schooled, but then this: an unexpected sprinkling of humor.

To be clear: this is not the kind of statement the Major Food Group partner makes unprompted. We have just finished chatting about his newly opened New York City members club, ZZ’s, and how he, as its proprietor, sets about making culinary dreams come true. Whether a patron rubs a lamp or simply walks through the door makes no difference: once you’re in, you’re in — and there’s no limit on the number of wishes, either.

Once one becomes a member of the VIP Hudson Yards-located club, a $50,000 initiation fee and yearly dues of $10,000 give guests access to, among other high-end amenities, a “culinary concierge.” It’s something Carbone and partners Rich Torrisi and Jeff Zalaznick [the ZZ of ZZ’s, as it were] have been toying around with: a unique offering that provides the crème de la crème of haute cuisine to those who can afford it.

Carbone explains the logic behind this innovative idea as such: “There are more than enough clubs out there. Many are fun, or well-built and pretty to look at. But I’ve yet to really encounter one that has good food and beverage. And so, in asking the question ‘Why come here?’ or ‘Why choose us?’, the answer is: food and beverage. It often seems to be the last thing that’s thought of [when creating a members club] and so here, it was really important that it was the first thing.”

The position was created when the partners put their collective heads together, discussing how to cater to ZZ’s founding members. Given that Major Food Group has recently opened both a hotel and the residential arm of their business, the concept of a hotel concierge was front of mind. “At a hotel, you have that person who stands behind a desk and is just simply armed with information. They don’t know what the hotel guest is going to ask them; it could be a subway stop or a restaurant recommendation. They’re there to navigate for you. So, we created a position called ‘culinary concierge,’ which is meant exactly for that purpose — for food and beverage needs. Someone who can make your food and beverage dreams become reality.”

This includes customized dishes, or any dish from one of the plethora of venues within ZZ’s, or even a dish that isn’t served on site, but in one of Major Food Group’s 12 global concepts — or otherwise. “Maybe you proposed to your wife at Da Paolino in Capri, and it’s your anniversary.

We can try to recreate the menu from Da Paolino and surprise her with that food and beverage experience here. Because if you give my team a couple of days, we will figure it out. We’ll do the research, get the ingredients in, and make it happen. We’ll even get the same white truffles she had during that meal. Or maybe you have a vintage bottle of wine that needs to be opened in advance. It’s things like that that this concierge can do. I’m excited to see how it gets used. I’m not sure about the questions our guests are going to ask, but we’re going to do our best to answer them.”

If there is one thing that MFG does well, it’s truly listening to what their patrons want, be that in a restaurant, hotel, members club, or their forthcoming residential concept, Villa Miami, a first-of-its-kind residential tower in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. At ZZ’s, nothing is off the table, so to speak.

In terms of table placement, Japanese brasserie ZZ’s is on the club’s first floor of the 25,000-square-foot Manhattan West space, offering fun fine dining via both traditional and non-traditional dishes such as dumplings and crispy rice toast. The second floor is mainly kitchen space, but it is the third level that seems to be the most entrancing. Dramatic, triple-height ceilings and elegant interiors courtesy of famed interior designer Ken Fulk lend a sense of theater to the space, which is comprised of 75-seat eatery Carbone Privato, bedecked and bedazzled in velvet banquettes and sparkling chandeliers, with 24 new menu options from existing Carbone locations, inclusive of lobster risotto and Tortellini in Brodo. Next door, Carbone Bar, or the Founder’s Room, has its own menu, china, employee uniforms, and more, and is specifically reserved for ZZ’s founding members. Leo’s lounge is a leopard printed libation extravaganza where local legend Stretch Armstrong can often be found behind the DJ booth, while the Living Room is a venue where members and guests can mingle, with its own small bites-focused menu and cocktail list. Carbone calls this place the “beating heart of the club.”

No doubt, ZZ’s Club will have MFG’s Midas touch, which makes a membership here even more desirable... and, of course, difficult to obtain.

Regulars and existing friends have it easy; they’re in like Flynn. An average Joe can certainly head to the ZZ’s website and sign up to register for membership, but, as with any private club, multiple people — in this case, a dedicated board — have the final call. Ultimately, they’re seeking a very simple criteria, says Carbone: “[To find] a nice collection of people that we think are going to jive in a private space.” Which is, as we all know, much easier said than done.

Then again, that Midas touch hasn’t failed Carbone and co. yet. It’s how the OG ZZ’s Club came to be in the first place, after all. Its first concept was born in Miami’s Design District in 2021, during the pandemic, and started, as with everything the group does, with an opportunity. “We started with the space, then looked at the area, and then worked backwards. Two years ago in Miami, we listened to the space and realized we wanted it to be a bi-level sort of club environment that went beyond the walls of a restaurant; there was more of an ecosystem in place. The goal was to have a wider breadth of hospitality than your traditional restaurant.”

So, when a similar opportunity arose in New York, Carbone and his team jumped (kind of: in Carbone’s retelling, it was more of a cautious tiptoe than a straight-up all-in leap) when Steve M. Ross, the chairperson of global real estate firm The Related Companies and majority owner of the Miami Dolphins, presented the Major Food Group guys with the chance to breathe new life into the space at 37 Hudson Yards. “When we first stepped foot in it, we started to think, ‘Is this a challenge we want to accept? Is this

“IF YOU’RE NOT COMPLETELY INFATUATED WITH THIS BUSINESS, IT WON’T JUST RUN ITS COURSE; IT’S TOO DIFFICULT. YOU HAVE TO BE IN LOVE WITH IT, IN GOOD TIMES AND IN BAD. IT’S JUST LIKE A MARRIAGE. IF THERE’S GOING TO BE UPS AND DOWNS, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM BOTH FOR WHAT THEY ARE. YOU CAN’T JUST LOVE THE GOOD STUFF. IT’S A GRIND, SO YOU HAVE TO LOVE THE BUSINESS AS A WHOLE. AND IT’S A VERY FULFILLING BUSINESS IF YOU CAN FIND THAT BALANCE.”

@hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 19

something we want to do?’ Ultimately, we said yes. From there, we started working backwards as usual, thinking about what we wanted to accomplish with the space, and what our end goal was — and then we started chipping away. It probably took two years to get this done from when we started talking about it until now. There are millions of decisions that go into these restaurants, which equal a very textural experience hopefully, especially when it’s us doing it. We seem to thrive in going above and beyond.”

But word to the wise: that doesn’t mean ZZ’s Club New York is an exact replica of what MFG created in Miami. The venue is larger by square footage and has a wider culinary offering. But their quintessential ethos exists — it is hard to miss that this is a Carbone-owned spot, especially because the signature, self-titled eatery bears his name… and his spirit. “Carbone [and Carbone Privato] is very much the embodiment of me; I’m an old soul,” he declares. “Carbone is a throwback. It — like me — is first generation Italian American. It’s big, abundant, celebratory, and entertaining. It’s very much that sort of idyllic Italian American restaurant, very similar to many of the ones that I grew up going to [in Queens, New York].”

It was there, at home in Queens, that he was first schooled in the intricacies of preparing Italian cuisine — both the northern elegance preserved by his maternal grandparents and the Sicilian heritage that defined his father’s side of the family. This turned into a bonafide love of cooking, and a life path that was always crystal clear. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Carbone worked in some of the best kitchens in New York, inclusive of Babbo, Lupa, wd~50, and Daniel Boulud’s Café Boulud, where he reconnected with former CIA classmate Rich Torrisi. Together, along with the support of regular patron Jeff Zalaznick, their company, Major Food Group, was born along with their first eatery — Torrisi Italian Specialties — in 2009. A restaurant that, I might add, officially earned the group its third-ever Michelin star (Carbone and ZZ’s Clam Bar had previously earned said recognition).

In addition to accolades like a total of 21 stars from The New York Times and numerous James Beard Foundation distinctions, Major Food Group has grown in leaps and bounds since its inception, with more than 40 restaurants in six countries, and more global destinations to come. Carbone cites London, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Mexico City, and Los Angeles as just some of the cities he hopes to be a part of in the future.

But he’s got more than enough going on in the present to keep him busy as well: starting with ZZ’s Club and continuing with the arrival of Chateau ZZ’s, an upscale Mexican eatery housed in a beautiful, old 1930s French château in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood that opened in December. There is also Villa Miami, a residential oceanfront community via developers Terra and One Thousand Group that is programmed and serviced by Major Food Group, with chef’s kitchens designed by Carbone, MFG-curated food and beverage programming throughout, as well as an Italian-inspired, two-story MFG restaurant, and Pier Park, a collaboration with the Boucher Brothers that will replace the former Nikki Beach day club space in the South of Fifth neighborhood that will house three chef-driven F&B concepts, including a Mediterranean eatery, a Japanese steakhouse and sushi bar, and all-day dining institution Sadelle’s that is set to open in 2026.

Carbone is happy with his current situation. He dreamed big with Major Food Group and is beyond pleased with how his business has evolved.

“I think we are progressing in many ways. Today, we are the best team that we’ve ever been, which gives us an opportunity to do greater things than when we started. At the time, there were five of us, and today, we are 5,000. My team is extremely talented: anything is possible because of them.

20 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

Anything I dream up, they are talented enough to produce.”

He also loves that Major Food Group has not been just limited to food as they grow. “The future goes beyond the traditional walls of a restaurant; it’s a greater ecosystem, [inclusive of] hotels and private residences,” he notes.

“It’s looking at what a guest wants the second they wake up to the moment they go to sleep. I have to think about what happens when a member comes in at four p.m. and wants to have a meeting somewhere, a drink, and maybe a tiny bite of food; I need to be prepared for that. All those little challenges are things that the team and I talk about, and those are the things that we continue to get excited about. It’s all within the world of hospitality, but they are new challenges, and I love that. I think that as long as the answer to these questions — ‘Is this something we should do?’ and ‘Do we have something to say?’ or ‘Can we affect change?’ — is yes, then we’re going to give it a try. I’m excited to see what those things can be in the years to come.

We are still just a 10- or 12-year-old company, so I’m not entirely sure what the next 10 years will bring. And that, to me, is really exciting.”

Although his signature stare reveals nothing, his words betray his passion for the industry he has built his career within. Carbone is Italian, after all: that he doesn’t crack a smile or gesture wildly with his hands is a major indicator of his control. Despite his stoic visage, the excitement he describes for his industry — inclusive of nights out on the town checking out new and interesting restaurants — is extremely believable.

“I don’t do it that frequently, but when I do it, it’s the best. When I come across a new restaurant that I really want to check out, it feels like getting excited about a newly released movie. I’m thinking, I can’t wait to go there.

I’m going to order everything. When I travel, whether it’s in my hometown or abroad, I’m always seeking those places that are local institutions. ‘What’s been there for a hundred years? Why are they still busy? What’s their thing?’ I will forever be inquisitive about that kind of stuff, and I think that if you’re not inquisitive, if you’re not completely infatuated with this business, it’s not the right [career for you]. You have to be in love with it, in good times and in bad. It’s just like a marriage. If there’s going to be ups and downs, you have to take them both for what they are. You can’t just love the good stuff. It’s a grind, so you have to love the business as a whole. And it’s a very fulfilling business if you can find that balance. I think I have, and I hope that I never fall out of love with it.”

Carbone has clearly found it, especially because his love of the industry is presented in the most minute of ways; it is as equally important to him to appreciate the small moments as much as the big ones. “There are so many little behind-the-scenes moments that I’m privy to, in the kitchen, behind closed doors. A lot of it is just cooking with the team and developing food, getting to speak every day about my culture. I’m making the food of my ancestors, and I’m developing these restaurants that have my name, but they really stand for the Italian-American first generation movement. It’s like an archeological dig, doing these things, [creating] these lost recipes, and putting them out into the world. No one sees when or how we’re doing it — there are no lights, cameras, or music: it’s just a bunch of people in a kitchen, working. But that’s my job, and I take a ton of pride in it.”

Having a career like this is a luxury, and stoic face aside, Carbone is grateful for it. “I get to have a soapbox to stand on, to speak on behalf of some of the generations past, like my grandparents and great-grandparents who didn’t, but who made that first decision to leave their homeland to come somewhere new for me... and for the betterment of their future. I am here, trying to memorialize it in my own way, with the craft that I chose.”

And finally, Mario Carbone cracks a smile. It is small, but it is there — and to me, that is not only telling, but major.

Cheers to Radiance and Resolutions: Haute Beauty Experts Reveal Their New Year’s Goals

Introducing customizable wellness subscriptions and concierge treatments is a key focus.

Professionally, I aim to make AMG Plastic Surgery the leading center for plastic and cosmetic surgery in the DMV region. After relocating from South Florida, I am dedicated to understanding local esthetic needs, specializing in breast and body surgeries, including reconstructions for breast and body cancers.

Welcome to the Dark Side In a nod to history and the epic Apollo 8 mission of 1968, Omega unveils its latest masterpiece, the Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

THE APOLLO 8 MISSION MARKED A PIVOTAL MOMENT AS THE FIRST

human flight to orbit the Moon, and Omega watches were a crucial part of this historic journey. Now, in 2024, Omega pays tribute to this remarkable story with the new Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon, a timepiece crafted with cutting-edge technology and intricate dial detailing.

Omega first introduced the Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8 edition in 2018 to commemorate the mission’s 50th anniversary.

For its latest rendition, the brand has elevated the design to new heights, focusing on intricate details and ultimate refinement.

The watch features the Caliber 3869 movement and is adorned with a laser-ablated Moon relief on the blackened main plate and bridges.

This movement beautifully captures the dual nature of the Moon, with one side representing the lunar surface as seen from the Earth and the other showcasing the enigmatic dark side — a view reserved exclusively for astronauts. Omega’s latest update enhances the Moon’s definition, achieved through laser engraving and contrasting surfaces. Impressively, the manual-winding Caliber 3869 has achieved the Co-Axial Master

Chronometer standard, setting a new benchmark in Swiss precision, chronometric performance, and magnetic resistance.

The Moon-themed movement is visible through the watch’s skeletonized black anodized aluminum dial. Omega’s attention to detail extends to the 44.25 mm case, the polished bezel, and the caseback, which are all crafted from separate pieces of black ceramic. The tachymeter scale is meticulously filled with bright white “Grand Feu” enamel. Adding a touch of vibrancy, the central chronograph seconds hand is varnished yellow, a theme echoed in the watch’s perforated strap made from black rubber with a yellow interior.

A novel addition is the patent-pending small-seconds hand at nine o’clock, expertly engineered from Titanium Grade 5 and shaped like the NASA’s iconic Saturn V rocket. This 3D structure is created through laser turning and enriched with white varnish, ablation, and laser blackening techniques — a small yet inspiring tribute to the triumph of the Apollo program. The caseback bears a series of poignant engravings, including “WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE,” the final words spoken to ground control by command module pilot Jim Lovell, just before Apollo 8 ventured to the far side of the Moon, entering radio silence for the very first time.

The enigmatic surface of the Moon has always fascinated and intrigued humanity, positioning itself as a key inspiration within the Omega brand and its unwavering dedication to space exploration. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 35

January that Frédéric Arnault would be stepping into a new role as CEO of LVMH Watches. He previously spent seven years at TAG Heuer, where he led the brand for four years as CEO. In addition to this strategic move, several significant internal appointments have been announced, signaling a new era for some of the most iconic LVMH watch brands.

In his capacity as CEO, Arnault will oversee LVMH’s three prestigious watch brands, Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith. With a remarkable track record in driving transformation and growth at TAG Heuer, he sure is equipped for his new role. He led key moments for the brand, such as the New York flagship opening and the innovations brought to the iconic Carrera timepiece.

Within this change at the top of the LVMH Watch & Jewelry chain, there is a domino effect. Julien Tornare, who has been Zenith’s CEO since 2017, is set to take charge as CEO of TAG Heuer. With extensive experience within the LVMH Group and a strong background in the watchmaking industry, Tornare is expected to further elevate the Maison’s iconic collections.

At Zenith, the CEO position vacated by Tornare will be held by Benoit de Clerck. He brings 25 years of invaluable experience within the watchmaking industry, including a distinguished career within the Richemont Group, making him well-suited to develop Zenith’s legacy of innovation and excellence.

These changes will harness the strengths and experiences of each leader to drive growth and innovation within their respective brands. Stéphane Bianchi, the CEO of LVMH Watches & Jewelry, expressed confidence in these appointments. He highlighted Arnault’s disruptive vision, Tornare’s entrepreneurial spirit, and de Clerck’s deep watchmaking expertise, setting the tone for 2024 and the future of watchmaking within LVMH.

Sports Supremo A Haute look at the F.P.Journe Chronographe Rattrapante in titanium.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROT

PHOTOS COURTESY OF F.P.JOURNE

THE F.P.JOURNE LINESPORT COLLECTION IS ONE OF THE ULTIMATE

sports watch collections in the industry. It blends a sporty esthetic with the premium craftsmanship of the brand’s haute horology into a collection that is modern and cool. A Haute Time favorite from the collection, the Chronographe Rattrapante in titanium grade 5 (though available in three other models as well: one other titanium grade 5, one in 18-karat 6N gold, and one platinum PT950), is the epitome of F.P.Journe’s mastery of sports watches.

At the heart of the Chronographe Rattrapante lies a meticulously crafted 44 mm diameter case, with a slim profile of just 12.1 mm.

Within this case, the monopoussoir split-second chronograph movement takes center stage. This movement features a very large date display, an innovation that enhances both functionality and readability. In the titanium version, the date mechanism is crafted from aluminum alloy, while the 18-karat 6N gold and platinum versions boast a date mechanism made from 18-karat rose gold, adding a luxurious touch.

One of the standout features of the Chronographe Rattrapante is its power reserve, which lasts a staggering 80 hours. This extended power reserve ensures that the chronograph remains operational even after two full days, allowing you to make the most of its rattrapante function. The date window itself measures 5.20 x 2.80 mm, providing increased legibility, optimal for sports timepieces.

For this titanium timepiece, the dial features an aluminum alloy in either yellow or slate grey, adorned with luminescent applied numerals. The two chronograph counters are meticulously engraved in sapphire, enhancing both the watch’s overall sophisticated design and its functionality. Luminescent hour and minute hands ensure optimal readability. The tachymetric bezel, inlaid with ceramic, adds a sporty touch, while the new typographic numeral pays homage to the exquisite 2017 Only Watch timepiece. Despite its complexity and craftsmanship, the F.P.Journe Chronographe Rattrapante is incredibly lightweight and comfortable to sport.

At the heart of the timepiece lies the Caliber 1518 with manual winding, conceived by F.P.Journe. This new movement features a direct gearing chronograph with a rocking pinion, eliminating the jump of the hand at the start — a notable advancement in precision timekeeping. The integration of the very large date, a signature of the F.P.Journe brand, required meticulous engineering to maintain a total height of only 6.80 mm. The movement’s finishings are on full display through a transparent sapphire back, showcasing the undeniable qualities of F.P.Journe haute horology.

With the Chronographe Rattrapante, the brand continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking, asserting itself as the leader in the industry. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 37

Haute Spotting The sleekest timepieces spotted on this awards season’s red carpets.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

THE 2024 AWARDS SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY COMMENCED, AND OUR EYES HAVE BEEN

on one thing only: watches. Each year, red carpets set the tone for the horological year ahead, revealing the new, renewed, and steady relationships between Maisons and actors. Here, we reveal some of our favorite timepieces spotted at the Golden Globe Awards, from Vacheron Constantin to Cartier, and more.

SIMU LIU IN VACHERON CONSTANTIN

Barbie star Simu Liu was seen wearing the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date in pink gold. The timepiece showcases a unique blend of retrograde hand-type day and date display, drawing inspiration from 1950s design esthetics. The dial’s hour markers and hands gracefully follow its contours, while the sunburst satin finish of the blue-colored dial adds a touch of elegance. Additionally, a “circular-pearl” minute-track on the dial enhances its light-reflecting qualities.

TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET IN CARTIER

Wonka lead — and global obsession — Timothée Chalamet wore the Cartier Crash in 18-karat white gold, adorned with 149 brilliant-cut diamonds, featuring a beaded crown set with another brilliant-cut diamond, with a combined weight of 2.15 carats. The bracelet, also in rhodium-finish 18-karat white gold, is embellished with 321 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling 2.12 carats, and designed for a wrist size of 170 mm.

The timepiece showcases a silvered opaline dial with a sunray effect, complemented by sword-shaped hands in blued steel and protected by a mineral crystal.

For his Golden Globe Awards appearance, he chose to wear the 39 mm TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox in an elegant navy color.

Barry Keoghan, who recently starred in Saltburn, was rocking in the Seamaster Aqua Terra 34 mm, which sparkled with hour markers rubies that perfectly matched his Louis Vuitton suiting.

2023 Maserati MC20 The return of the Trident’s Edge MASERATI WAS FOUNDED IN 1914 — LONG BEFORE MANY OF ITS

eventual competitors, such as Jaguar, Ferrari, Porsche, and certainly Lamborghini — and its roots are with great racing machines and sports cars released through the 1960s. In fact, their “Tipo 61,” which became known as the “Maserati Birdcage” due to its beautiful tubular space frame, was one of the most desirable cars from that era (1959-1961), and the few remaining (less than 25 were constructed) are worth millions of dollars. I had the pleasure of seeing one, with the body off, and it’s truly a magnificent work of art.

However, apart from the very capable Gran Turismo (GT), which was manufactured from 2007 to 2019, most Masers offered in the United States in recent years have been two- and four-door sedans. And when SUVs arrived, there wasn’t a sports car in the lineup for many years.

Maserati did create a cousin of the Enzo in 2004, called the MC12, but that model was only made for a few years, and a total of just 62 were built.

Its main purpose was to qualify a racing variant of the car for the FIA GT Championship (the racing league required a certain number of road-going variants to be produced in order for the model to be able to participate).

40 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com

From 1997 to 2005, Maserati and Ferrari had common ownership, and one of Maserati’s selling points was that its vehicles were powered by Ferrari engines. And while the Quattroporte luxury sedan was a big seller, especially starting with the 2014 Quattroporte VI, it seemed like the Maserati spirit of racing cars was lost in a world of sedans. But then, in 2020, the MC20 debuted.

Maserati hailed the model as its “Super Sports Car” — and I, like many car aficionados, couldn’t have been more pleased. (The name came from “Maserati Corse” [Racing Maserati] and the “20” was for the year 2020.)

I first saw that beautiful sports car at Pebble Beach during Monterey Car Week that same year, at the Maserati House, and though it was on static display, the car looked to be in motion. With a gorgeous, light-blue body, the MC20 looked amazing. It would be another several months before I was lucky enough to borrow one for a multi-day loan, and it certainly was worth the wait! This two-seater coupe with a rear midengine is a race car for the street and was built to combine gorgeous Italian looks with an engine that was designed after those in Formula 1 cars.

“My” MC20 was liveried in an optional misty color called “Bianco Audace” — an off-white exterior with a black and gray interior. The base

car was $212,000, but someone with good (and expensive) taste ordered it with a boatload (or shall I say “barchetta load”) of add-ons, such as the custom matte paint ($14,000); carbon ceramic brakes ($10,000); a black roof ($4,000); carbon fiber here, there, and everywhere (more than $50,000); a racing interior ($2,500); racing seats ($7,000); and more — bringing the total (before tax and license) to over $315,000. I liked all the choices and didn’t find one that I would have excluded.

Driving the car was a real treat, too. Maserati created the engine this time (code-named “Nettuno”) rather than sourcing a Ferrari option. The MC20 sports a V6 twin turbo engine with 3,000 cubic inches, producing 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, which is enough oomph to rocket this 3,306-pound car from zero to 60 mph in under three seconds, on the way to a top speed north of 200 mph. And did I mention the 8,000 RPM redline, which emits a wonderful scream at full throttle?

I liked driving the MC20 as it was a great blend of performance and comfort. Entry and exit were effortless (which is not always the case with butterfly dihedral doors like these), with no compromise to the ergonomics of driving to achieve great looks and performance. The handling was exact as well and had both the tightness of a sports car in the twisties and a supple, compliant ride on the straights. Although the engine sounded amazing at full honk, there was ample power to move with alacrity at less than full throttle so that the car could easily be driven at normal (that is, legal) speeds with much less sound and fury. The seats in mine were the monocoque racing seats, but I still found them both comfortable and supportive. The eight-speed transmission was sharp and smooth-shifting but also shifted swiftly upon hard acceleration. The MC20 only is available with a paddle shift; like many modern performance cars, it’s not available with a stick shift transmission. Rearward visibility is terrific, thanks to a video monitor fed by a camera at the rear — a nice touch as the camera’s wide angle is far more effective than a traditional rear-view mirror, especially when a car (as is the case with the MC20) has a constrained “natural” view. In the calmest of the three driving modes (GT), the MC20 seems somewhat sedate, but jump up to Sport or Corsa (the latter being my preferred modus operandi), and you get the Italian aria befitting a car of its stature. I love its song!

My time with the MC20 was too short, but I will be borrowing the MC20 Cielo (convertible version), and who knows, I might be among the first to experience the all-electric version of the MC20, which Maserati has promised soon, or even the MCXtreme, the full-race, track-only variant of the MC20, which I saw unveiled at The Quail in August (all 62 units have been sold). Whatever top or motor your MC20 has, you’re sure to have an enjoyable time. @hauteauto HAUTE LIVING 41

AMAZING ASIA From Hong Kong to Singapore and beyond, here are the places to stay and play in Asia

HONG KONG

REGENT HONG KONG

The Regent Hong Kong, a former icon in Kowloon, has returned to its former glory in a major way following a two-year, top-to-tails renovation. This haute hotel, with the glittering and glorious Victoria Harbour as its backdrop, is guaranteed to be a must-visit destination for the jet set amidst landmarks like K11 MUSEA, Avenue of Stars, City Art Square, and the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Native designer Chi Wing Lo has managed to seamlessly blend the city’s historical past with its innovative present via a rich tapestry of 368 rooms and 129 suites, as well as gentle references throughout the property, balancing tactile natural materials. An iconic white marble staircase, resembling a miniature waterfall, and the grandeur of the classic design set the stage for a magnificent experience, transforming even the smallest of details into a study of the city’s past.

And while guests may appreciate this insight into the past, they’ll fully love its modern, endlessly epicurean present. One of the world’s finest Chinese restaurants specializing in Cantonese cuisine, Lai Ching Heen (previously known as Yan Toh Heen), brings black pearl diamonds and two Michelin star fare back to the hotel. The Steak House presents curated selections of the finest meats from pristine farms around the world, while Harbourside’s immersive buffet experience of global cuisine transports guests to the world’s best local markets. There’s even a Nobu here, which says it all: proprietor Nobu Matsuhisa’s name is synonymous with cutting edge Japanese cuisine and a sexy party vibe worldwide. Which means, of course, like everything else on site, Regent Hong Kong defines ‘best of the best.’ Additionally, the hotel’s Regent Club opened in September, offering guests an exclusive, light-filled private sanctuary, designed in an elevated way, like the bridge of a cruise ship. Here, afternoon tea and evening cocktails are offered quietly and discreetly, with postcard perfect views of the harbor, underneath a dazzling array of lights meant to simulate those which dance around and reflect the vibrant waterfront every evening set to “A Symphony of Lights,” focusing the viewer’s eye on the iconic cityscape. Speaking of iconic views, well, there isn’t one better than from the property’s crowning jewel: the presidential suite. This state-of-the-art, 7,000-square-foot duplex has its own private terrace and infinity swimming pool, five bedrooms, a dining room, tearoom, private gym, rainforest shower and whirlpool bathtub, private sauna, and steam room. The reopening of the rest of the reimagined hotel’s new hallmarks, such as the spa and additional rooms, will continue to be rolled out in the coming months.

JAPAN

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

AMAN TOKYO

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

PAN PACIFIC ORCHARD

Pan Pacific Orchard is one of the most majestic new hotels in Asia due in part to its dramatic foliage that brings the outside in. In fact, over 300 percent of the hotel’s land area is comprised of greenery, thanks to the stylings of award-winning designers WOHA Architects, with four interconnected, nature-driven sky terraces: Forest, Beach, Garden, and Cloud.

Dramatic, nearly 400-foot green columns tower through the terraces, creating a spectacle of thriving flora. Mirrored ceilings reflect each unique landscape, from the sparkling pools of Beach Terrace to the manicured lawns of Garden Terrace, while open-air spaces welcome abundant fresh breeze and natural daylight for exquisite alfresco experiences. It’s no surprise that this 347-room hotel is as green as they come, with a slew of sustainability features inclusive of renewable solar panel technology, an in-room filtered water system, and a bio-digester system that transforms food waste into cleaning water.

But make no mistake: this is still a luxury hotel, and one that’s complemented by the crème de la crème of concepts to boot.

These include Mediterranean-meets-Peruvian eatery Mosella, which overlooks the greenery of Forest Terrace, and Garden Terrace hot spot Florette, which features one of the city’s best champagne lists — from growers to rare vintages and the classics — perfectly paired with the season’s freshest oysters; as well as The Chairman’s Lounge, which is overseen by famed Chinese chef Leung Wing Cheung. The property has also joined forces with Singapore’s Orchard Gin to create their own, supremely elegant libation. Soon, the property will launch Atelier-in-Residence, a program developed to welcome limitededition, made-in-Singapore brands.

SOUTH KOREA

Gangnam-style is a thing, and there isn’t one hotel in Seoul, the K-Beauty capital of the world, that embodies this more so than the Signiel Seoul. Located atop the 1,821-foot LOTTE World Tower, the sixth tallest building in the world and Korea’s largest, this stunner can literally be likened to the very height of extreme luxury. The hotel feels different from other luxury properties. While many of America’s wealthiest get away with lowslung baseball caps and artfully disheveled, unbuttoned designer coats, the guests here look like they’d be right at home on a runway (or at least sitting front row). Signiel (a composite of the words “signature” and “LOTTE”) is the group’s most premium offering, clearly, even winning the Grand Prix of the Best Grand Hotel in the World at the 2022 Villegiature Awards. This is obvious in every possible way, from its signatures restaurants, STAY by Michelin three-star chef Yannick Alléno, and 1 Michelin star Korean eatery, Bicena (becoming the only hotel in Korea to have two Michelin starred restaurants at the same time), to its Rolls-Royce house car and upscale sky bar, Bar 81, which, with 80 different brands, hosts the largest champagne collection in South Korea. The hotel also has its very own wine, La Tour D’Arche Signiel Margaux, from Bordeaux, and a collection of 235 rooms and suites, the largest of which, the Royal Suite, at over 3,800 square feet, has its own jacuzzi and secretary room. There’s also a pool, sauna, and fitness center with panoramic sky views, and the Retreat Signiel, a top-notch K-Spa, which has its own tea and oil ateliers. Can you see now why it was named the very best?

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

ANANTARA KOH YAO YAI RESORT

Luxury-based hotel group Anantara, responsible for creating high-end luxury hideaways across Asia, has opened one of its latest and greatest efforts in Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas, a secluded oasis located on an untouched island in the middle of Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay. Once a coconut palm plantation, the 27-acre site is situated between a wooded hill and a turquoise bay dotted with jungle-clad limestone islets that dot the horizon. Unfolding over a mile of golden beach, this new luxury resort is the height of tranquility, spaciousness, and luxury, just a 35-minute boat ride from Phuket and 20 minutes from Krabi. From the moment travelers arrive at the resort’s private jetty, they are immersed in the atmosphere of exclusivity and luxury, highlighted by a sprawling green lawn, a shaded swimming pool, and a golden beach. Here, there are 148 classically designed suites, villas, and penthouses, our favorite of which are the eight butler-attended sea view pool penthouses. At 3,939 square feet, these behemoths feature living and dining rooms, kitchens, master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms featuring two skylight-lit rain showers, infinityedge pools, sundecks with daybeds, and covered cabanas for alfresco dining. [However, there is only one that comes with a glass bottom infinity pool, seen from the living space below.] This is a true getaway, where every accommodation is made, and every possible convenience is offered.

This means a slew of culinary concepts, inclusive of surf and turf eatery Beach Restaurant, traditional Thai spot Pakarang, and the appropriately named Japanese Restaurant. Plus, via Dining by Design, with only a private chef and butler present, guests can enjoy a gourmet picnic on an island sandbank, a romantic dinner cruise, or a champagne celebration in complete privacy. This is a common theme here indeed, given that Koh Yao Yai is still wonderfully undeveloped and devoid of mass tourism, offering an enriching journey for foodies, nature lovers, yogis, and marine enthusiasts alike. Inspirational and immersive excursions are also offered, such as vintage sidecar tours to a rubber plantation; batik-making, tie-dye classes; mountain climbing;scuba diving;and off-the-beaten-track adventures to tranquil Hong Island, where one can drift along mangrove canals in a kayak as native Hornbill birds soar above. On property, guests can also indulge via spa time at one of the several hydropools and hammams.

When Pharrell Williams was appointed creative director after Virgil Abloh, the fashion industry knew he would have large shoes to fill. But if anyone could do it, it would be Williams. With three Louis Vuitton Men’s collections now under his belt, Williams has established a clear vision for the brand. Just like Abloh, he is mixing different cultures and traditions with the original Vuitton spirit while dipping into the brand’s incredible archives and history to create contemporary masterpieces — the Pharrell way, of course.

Williams’ first collection — for Spring-Summer 2024 — was a key moment for the Maison. He transformed the brand’s LV initials to introduce “LVERS,” a state of mind founded in warmth, wellbeing, and welcomeness that became the collection’s motto, and is set to define Williams as creative director. The designer shut down the iconic Pont Neuf in Paris on a June summer night last year to release Louis Vuitton’s Spring-Summer 2024 Men’s Collection, attracting a global crowd. With the collection now hitting stores, the brand has unveiled a unique global retail experience with a series of captivating store concepts and activations.

Spanning over 50 locations worldwide over the next few months, the installations embody the evolution of Williams’ vision and are all inspired by the “LVERS” philosophy that celebrates Louis Vuitton as a diverse global community united by a shared love for creativity and craftsmanship. From London to New York, the brand is introducing pop-ins, pop-ups, “residencies,” and special events featuring DJs and more. Raising the bar higher, guests who visit the spaces will also receive limited-edition carrier bags with every purchase, adorned with the collection’s pixelated “Damoflage” motif and “LVERS” logo.

Expect to see stores and temporary spaces across the globe embody the expressions of the golden Damier checkers.

They will pay homage to the architecture of each location and welcome two concepts around the idea of the sun being a universal source of opportunity and energy. From miniatures to on-screen life-sized holograms, guests will be immersed in a world of proportions and perspectives. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 63

In London, Selfridges has undergone a striking transformation as it welcomes a takeover of 16 windows dedicated to Williams’ thought-provoking question: “What will you do when the sun shines on you?” The Louis Vuitton “LVERS” experience at Selfridges introduces a reimagined Pont Neuf bridge constructed from 3D cubes, artfully echoing the “Damoflage” pattern. Mannequins dressed in show-stopping looks grace the floor, which is adorned with golden “Damier” checkers, effectively transporting visitors to the iconic Pont Neuf.

Meanwhile, the Louis Vuitton Champs-Élysées residency, dubbed “Ephemère,” stands as another exceptional testament to the Pharrell phenom, immersing guests in the wonderful world of Vuitton from the moment they step in, with the entrance encircled in golden “Damier” pixels mimicking the rays of the sun. With interactive experiences and a dedicated “dandy club” celebrating the collection’s devotion to dandy dressing, the space immerses guests in a world where fashion meets art. And in true Parisian fashion, the residency is home to a secret Speedy Room for clients to discover Williams’ new release of the Maison’s iconic bag.

Stateside, Louis Vuitton welcomes two ephemeral boutiques in SoHo, New York, and West Hollywood, Los Angeles. In the heart of SoHo, you’ll find an exclusive pop-up store with two distinct storefronts. Inside, it showcases the entire Louis Vuitton Men’s universe, offering a curated assortment inclusive of accessories, jewelry, leather goods, luggage, ready-to-wear, shoes, and trunks from Williams’ debut collection. Open now through mid-March, and with a second drop on February 8, this pop-up store serves as the exclusive East Coast destination for the Men’s Spring/ Summer 2024 collection. The space draws inspiration from the inaugural Pont Neuf show, featuring opulent interiors adorned with shimmering gold accents, Parisian-style streetlamps, and architectural details reminiscent of the historic bridge. A checkered floor pays homage to the Maison’s classic 19th-century “Damier” pattern. A second location — accessible by appointment only — offers a oneof-a-kind experience, where a miniaturized Paris conceals a secret room displaying brilliantly colored leather Speedy bags.

Similar to SoHo, West Hollywood will also be home to a brand-new pop-up haven that will host two different drops before unveiling the complete Louis Vuitton Men’s collections mid-March. For an exclusive touch, the pop-up features a hidden room concealed behind a colossal bookcase accessible only through the pull of the correct volume, and showcases the same Speedy bags as in New York, this time seemingly suspended in the darkness and illuminated by spotlights. The pop-up presents bespoke pieces like the Palace slipper and the Footprint low boot, curated specifically for the space. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 67

There’s no doubt the focal point of Williams’ debut collection is the reintroduction of the Speedy bag — and it’s now the hero of these new ephemeral spaces.

A brief history: the Speedy, originally conceived by Gaston-Louis Vuitton in 1930 as the “Express,” paying homage to the era’s fascination with speed and automobiles, has a storied history of evolution. In 1959, it underwent a transformative journey when introduced in a supple Monogram canvas, solidifying its status as a must-have fashion accessory. With the addition of a safety lock, the travel bag seamlessly transitioned into the realm of city fashion. However, it was Audrey Hepburn who catapulted the Speedy to “It” bag fame in 1965, personally requesting a smaller version to suit her petite frame. Since then, the Speedy has remained a timeless Louis Vuitton signature, continuously reimagined by various creatives.

Williams has breathed new life into the Speedy, infusing it with the spirit of lower Manhattan’s Canal Street.

Offered in a vibrant primary color palette, the Speedy is bound to become (again) the it bag to have.

YANKEEKICKS OFFICIALLY UNVEILED ITS LATEST OUTPOST,

solidifying its position as NYC’s largest sneaker store, with a celebration as grand as their #666Broadway space. The flagship becomes the second retail location for the growing marketplace and consignment shop, with 5,104 square feet filled with authenticated apparel to art, collectibles, and memorabilia. The event commenced with a parade of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars (courtesy of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Manhattan) lining Bond St. Rabbi Pinto and Mayor Eric Adams initiated the festivities with a ceremonial menorah lighting and ribbon cutting. Bespoke Clase Azul Tequila Gold cocktails and Lallier bubbly flowed out of an impressive Nike ice sculpture amongst Venus et Fleur arrangements, while guests took turns checking out rare styles in the hidden VIP room. Hip-hop legends Fat Joe and Offset had back-to-back surprise sets of their biggest hits. Migos’ (and birthday boy) Offset was iced out by YankeeKicks collaborator, Avi Hiaeve of Avi & Co. The evening concluded with a live auction featuring a one-of-a-kind Jeff Staple x Johnnyskicks creation, a “Reverse Panda” Nike SB Dunk. This auction raised an impressive $30,000 for Memorial Sloan Kettering in the fight against childhood cancer, a cause deeply meaningful to YankeeKicks Founder and CEO, Yaniv Bar.
