atthew Broderick was in real danger of losing himself these past few years. The culprit? His couch. For a man who’s quite literally always moving — from plays to television series to films — he was at a loss as to what else to do during the COVID-19 lockdown, so he turned to the tube. A mistake Matthew, a really big mistake. “I watched a lot of TV — more than I ever had before. Every Scandinavian murder, anybody cut in half on a bridge, anything about French spies, I was watching. I’m now very good at reading subtitles,” the 59-year-old actor confides during our Zoom chat, which happens to be just a few days before his 60th birthday. “Anyway,” he continues, “what I learned about myself is that I have to try something new every now and again, that I literally have to get out there and work, or I actually do seem to be quite capable of turning into a slug. I’m glad that [this phase of life] seems to be ending, because I think eventually, I would have probably just disappeared. I would have become vapor and just been gone.” I mean, of course he’s joking, but who could blame him for wanting to get back to regularly programmed life? Or, for that matter, the Great White Way — which is where the storied actor was meant to be heading with wife Sarah Jessica Parker when the City That Never Sleeps took one heck of a power nap. Let’s rewind to 2019, shall we? After making his London West End debut in Kenneth Lonergan’s The Starry Messenger, Broderick was immediately ready to get back on stage, and to Broadway in particular; at the time, it had been four years since he performed there in A.R. Gurney’s Sylvia. With very minimal urging on the part of friend and director John Benjamin Hickey, he and Parker agreed to appear in the first-ever revival of the late Neil Simon’s classic comedy, Plaza Suite. And they couldn’t have picked a better project. When the play — a piercing look at love and marriage set in suite 719 of iconic Manhattan luxury landmark The Plaza Hotel — first opened on Broadway in 1968, it ran for nearly three years. Simon and star Maureen Stapleton were nominated for Tony Awards for Best Play and Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play, respectively, while director Mike Nichols won for Best Direction of a Play. Plaza Suite was so popular, in fact, that it found its way to the silver screen in 1971, starring Stapleton, Walter Matthau, Barbara Harris, and Lee Grant; a 1987 TV movie adaptation starring Carol Burnett, Hal Holbrook, and Dabney Coleman followed. Those are some big shoes to fill, but Broderick, a two-time Tony Award winner; and Parker, a two-time Emmy Award winner, were just the stars to fill them (and hers were probably Manolos). Their initial two-week, completely sold-out run at Boston’s Emerson Colonial Theatre in February 2020 earned rave reviews, building buzz for the March previews and April 2020 opening date in New York to come when then-Governor Andrew Cuomo issued a mandate that all theaters were to be closed. And you all know how the rest of this story goes. So yeah, it’s time for life to resume its normal schedule, for Broadway to come back in general, and for this play in particular to premiere. Not the least because Broderick has been rehearsing for more than two years and he’s beginning to think there is such a thing as being overprepared. “It’s certainly a very unusual way to prepare for something, to stop for

“Obviously, you have to be friends. You have to want the same things and to be able to communicate and to hopefully have a few laughs. Humor, they say, is key.”

“There are things about both film or TV and plays that I like. It’s not that one is better, but the stage is uniquely your own if you’re the actor — at some point, it’s just you.”
two years right in the middle,” he agrees. “It’s been a process. We didn’t know how long we needed to get started again, so we chose to rehearse for four weeks this time around, and that seemed to work out. We were supposed to be rehearsing during the day and just doing it for audiences at night, but we just sort of stopped. [Sarah Jessica and I] did this play in Boston two years ago, so we’re not trying to reinvent it; we’re basically trying to get back to what we were up to then. It’s been an improvisation to figure out how to rehearse a play that you’ve already rehearsed.” To be sure, it’s a challenge to keep things fresh — but at least he knows he’s not in this alone — fellow shows like The Music Man and Birthday Candles were postponed, while others like Waitress and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? simply never reopened. “There’s that danger of things getting stale, but maybe [the break] is a good thing, because you don’t have to worry about lines so much; you’ve done a lot of the grunt work. I guess there are other plays that are going through this right now, too, that stopped in the middle. I don’t know, it’s an experiment,” he notes. Luckily, it didn’t take much to get Plaza Suite up and running again. Furniture, covered by blankets, part of the forlorn landscape at the Hudson Theatre, was dusted off, lightbulbs were replaced, and it was finally time for the show to go on — surprisingly, with its original cast and crew, including all the designers as well as each and every understudy — fully accounted for. This includes the Tony Award–winning dream team of director Hickey, set designer John Lee Beatty, costume designer Jane Greenwood, lighting designer Brian MacDevitt, sound designer Scott Lehrer, incidental music man Marc Shaiman, and casting director Jim Carnahan, as well as cast members Danny Bolero, Molly Ranson, and Eric Wiegand. It’s a testament to the play that each crew member returned, perhaps in part due to Plaza Suite’s poignancy: this opening marks the first revival of a play by Pulitzer Prize winner Neil Simon following his passing last August at the age of 91; Broderick’s return to Simon’s world, having won his first Tony for creating the role of Eugene Jerome in Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs, followed by its sequel, Biloxi Blues; and, last but equally significant, the first time he and Parker have shared a stage since the 1995 revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. And so, at long last previews of the play finally began on February 25, and opening night went off without a hitch on March 28. And make no mistake, it’s definitely a decadent treat to watch the real-life couple bring their comedic best to the stage, throwing themselves with studious abandon into the roles of Karen and Sam, a longtime married pair who may be ending their hotel stay earlier than expected; former high school sweethearts Muriel and Jesse, who seem destined for a residency; and mother and father of the bride Norma and Roy, who can’t seem to get their daughter to even check out of the bathroom. Luckily, none of the complications endured by their on-stage characters transpired in real life for Broderick and Parker during the making of Plaza Suite. Quite the opposite, in fact, which is especially telling to the strength of their relationship given that they lived together in lockdown for the better part of a year and worked together. Which, in itself, has all the makings of a classic Broadway farce. “I remember thinking, Oh, gosh, we’re going to work together and live together. What will that be like? Not realizing that the next two years would be life, [but] just with your family. So it was an experiment, and luckily, that aspect has been quite easy. We don’t seem to get on each other’s nerves any more than usual, so that’s good,” Broderick jokes. So how did they find that balance? “I don’t know,” he admits. “But I think we try to respect each other’s privacy and give each other space. It’s not like I finish a show and would think to ask a million questions about the kids’ school. We try not to overwhelm one another. Things can be very intense if you don’t. Instinctively, I think we try to give one another space to get away, to do our own things during the day. Whether it’s going to the gym, or a bike ride, whatever it is — just taking some time to be on your own.” For the record, that applies to all co-stars —not just his wife. Broderick
references his 2001 Broadway stint in The Producers with close friend Nathan Lane, recalling, “I remember he was like, ‘No, don’t have dinner with me, it’s going to be too much. We need to not have food and the show.’ So you try to limit a little of the claustrophobia, have a little space.” Similarly, it’s rule No. 1 to never, ever criticize a co-star’s acting (especially if, ahem, said co-star happens to be your wife). “It’s a big no-no to tell another actor what you think they should do. It does happen — in films, particularly, a big star can tell somebody else what to do — but the old-school approach is, if I don’t like something somebody is doing, I ought to tell the director and the director ought to decide. In this case, the director is a close friend of mine and the actor is my wife, so I can’t tell him, ‘Will you tell her to stop doing this?’ Luckily, she’s wonderful in the play, so I don’t have anything where I’m like, ‘I wish she weren’t doing this.’” I must make a face, because he insists, “Really, I swear to God, it’s been a delight.” The harder part, Broderick says, is being unable to gauge the audience’s reaction. Is that a golf clap? Are they really laughing, or is that a polite chuckle, muffled by a face covering? It’s a brave new world for Broadway, one that, at least at the time of this interview, is dominated by a sea of face mask-clad patrons. But does it work for the actors who are energized by the audience reaction? “It feels really good to be in a theater, but it’s really strange to look out and see all those masks. We bow at the end, and I can’t be absolutely certain that people like me or not,” he confides, continuing, “There’s screaming and clapping, but still, it could be a dead face clap.” There are further differences, too, mandated by health and safety precautions that make the entire experience less interactive, and ever-soslightly less enjoyable. Says Broderick, “It’s not like I like signing autographs or stuff like that, but usually you sort of see the audience after when you come out and this time, we don’t do that. It’s peculiar to do the play and then immediately go into my little cave instead of seeing friends backstage; they aren’t allowed there anymore. The only time I see anybody is if I say, ‘Come meet me at a restaurant.’ The social aspect of it all is very peculiar.” That being said, in this new normal, he still makes sure to harness the energy that had previously been sucked into the vortex of his couch each and every night that he’s on stage, because despite having to navigate these new restrictions, to him, the thrill of performing live is just as electrifying as ever. And he will never stop being grateful for it. “It feels amazing,” he says. “And no matter what, it sure is nice to be back.”
B
efore the first preview of any theater show, Matthew Broderick does this thing. I picture him walking to the edge of the stage, the theater dark, one spotlight just on him. He closes his eyes, and in his mind’s eye, the room is filled with applause. (And then I weirdly picture Ryan Reynolds singing “Papa, Can You Hear Me?” from Yentl.) To be honest, I don’t know what Broderick does — though he claims not to be superstitious, he’s keeping this “strange, quiet routine” to himself. What he can say is that, to him, the stage is a sacred space, and before every performance, to get in the zone, he likes to “be alone or have quiet time on stage, to sit in one of the chairs and try to feel like you’re a part of it, like it’s your home.” He adds, “I do like to take a little moment to myself, to the side of the stage because I’m so nervous before a first preview.” Mind blown! Even though he’s been a proper thespian for more than two-thirds of his life — appearing in his first play, On Valentine’s Day, opposite his father, James, in 1979, at age 17 — and has two Tony Awards to his name, he still admits to nerves. It makes him so dang relatable. My takeaway here is that theater is truly a deep and lifelong love for the native New Yorker, who has also starred in nearly 30 @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 19
productions like the smash Broadway hit, It’s Only a Play, opposite his frequent co-star Nathan Lane; the award-winning Broadway run of Nice Work If You Can Get It; the Broadway production of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple; and Shining City at the Off-Broadway Irish Repertory Theatre, for which he earned an Obie Award. “The theater is such a traditional place, that you can’t help but feel it when you’re there. It’s incredibly special to start a play on Broadway, hear the music start, see the lights go down in the house, and the audience make a sound like they’re excited to be there — particularly now.” He speaks as a fan as well, assuring me that, no matter what side of the stage he’s on, it’s the right side. [In case enquiring minds want to know, most recently, he really enjoyed Just for Us at the Off-Broadway Cherry Lane Theatre.] But obviously, anyone who has ever seen the 1986 comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (and shame on you if you haven’t!) is aware that Broderick doesn’t limit himself to theater alone. His film credits include Glory, You Can Count on Me, War Games, Disney’s The Lion King as the adult voice of Simba, Tower Heist, Godzilla, Then She Found Me, The Stepford Wives, Inspector Gadget, To Dust, Rules Don’t Apply, and the award-winning Manchester by the Sea. His most recent television project was 2019’s Daybreak, for Netflix; others include Fox’s live musical event A Christmas Story Live!, Modern Family, 30 Rock, and the TNT production of David Mamet’s A Life in the Theater, for which he received an Emmy nomination. I want him to correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel that — despite his crossover ability — his heart is truly with Broadway first. But it isn’t his heart that dictates his feelings, as his very thoughtful answer conveys. “I started out with movies and plays at the same time when I was 19, and I loved both. I always wanted to try to do both, but lately it’s been more stage the last many years. There are things about both film or TV and plays that I like. It’s not that one is better, but the stage is uniquely your own if you’re the actor — at some point, it’s just you. With a film, there’s always a director looking at you and saying, ‘Try it again and do it this way,’ which is also great and helpful, but in a play, once you step out, you’re driving. You still have to be confined by what the director has created, the designers, and of course, the writer, but you really kind of own it while you’re doing it. And you have a feeling afterward of actually playing the whole part, which in film is so spread out. Maybe a few days of the whole shoot you might feel satisfied, but many days are I went to the refrigerator and got the juice out and called the garage for the car and that 20 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

was the day [of] shooting. It’s a marathon, a spread-out thing, whereas a play is energy all at once; there’s no waiting around,” he explains, adding, “Also, getting the feedback from the audience can tell you if they’re bored or laughing. You get that on a film, too, but it’s the director or a couple of other people who are hanging around the video monitor: They become your audience. Billy Wilder said, ‘Everyone in the audience is an idiot, but taken together, they’re genius.’ Audiences are very smart. They know how something should go.” But just because he prefers being on stage, he (obviously) isn’t letting the other aspects of his career slack. Next up, he has Netflix’s opioid drama Painkiller, opposite Uzo Aduba, and the romantic comedy She Came to Me from writer-director Rebecca Miller. And possibly, in the near future, he’ll be able to merge these two mediums with Plaza Suite as he did with The Producers, reprising his 2001 Broadway role in the 2005 movie. Although there are no current plans to remake the 1971 film version of said play, he does say he’s heard rumors about shooting a live version in the future. Speaking of Plaza Suite again, well, after the limited engagement closes (tickets are currently on sale through June 26), he’s taking a well-deserved vacation (“Now that I’ve spent the last two years lying around, it’s time to lie around again,” he jokes). And not a staycation, either — which, for the record, he says he has never done — not even at the Plaza for “research.” I am baffled by this, but he is pragmatic. “Living in New York, I don’t stay overnight in hotels. I have a house.” “Staycation,” I say. “It’s called a staycation.” “Well,” he returns, “I did stay at the Carlyle once, right after Sarah Jessica and I got married.” For the record, that was one night only — the evening of May 19, 1997, to be exact — the night of his wedding, 25 years ago this May. To commemorate that momentous day, the couple will be together, on stage. In its own way, this is not only romantic, but also downright poetic. So… what does one have to do to reach such a milestone? Does he bring Parker roses once a week? Tell her she’s beautiful every day? “I don’t, but I should,” he declares, before noting, “Honestly, you can’t look at the big picture. You have to take it day by day, moment to moment. On a matinee day, I have two shows coming up and if I think from the beginning, ‘Oh my God, I have to do this twice,’ I’d get worried. If I just work on each scene, it flows. Really, I don’t know what the secret is, but I wish I did.” Still, he does have a few tips. “Obviously, you have to be friends. You have to want the same things and to be able to communicate and to hopefully have a few laughs. Humor, they say, is key.” Well, whatever he’s doing, it’s working, because these two are still laughing — on stage and off — a quarter of a century later. They’ve built a wonderful life in the Big Apple with their three, incredible kids: son James Wilkie, 19, and twin daughters Marion Loretta and Tabitha Hodge, 12. And it’s no surprise that precious time with his family is the most important thing of all, in his eyes. “[Spending] time with dear ones; to have time to spend with the people you love and who love you, that’s the greatest luxury,” he says. I remind him that he’s got to have seen the silver lining in the past two years in that case, with his whole crew under one roof. “It was very nice to spend so much time with my kids,” he admits. “I’ve never been home this much, so there’s been some good about it. There’s something nice about slowing down and having time with your loved ones.” “And also, not turning into vapor,” I say. He nods. “I’m still solid. I’m still here — and I’m grateful. I just encourage everybody to get back into life now, because who knows when that next freaking variant is coming. If we’re having a nice break now, let’s enjoy it, and spend it at the theater — hopefully at our show. I’m just kidding. Spend it how you want. Go outside, see things. Don’t just sit inside watching lengthy TV shows about murder. That’s fun, too, but now that you can, why don’t you try something else?” I couldn’t agree more. But then again, I’m planning a staycation — and my first stop is an actual Plaza suite.

The haute guide to the latest Manhattan restaurants to earn their Michelin stars. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
REZDÔRA
Nestled on a cozy side street in Manhattan’s Flatiron District lies Rezdôra, an intimate Italian restaurant that celebrates the authentic cuisine of the Emilia-Romagna region. As the culinary love child of esteemed chef Stefano Secchi and partner David Switzer, Rezdôra’s niche is tradition. From house-made pasta to traditionally prepared meat and fish, Rezdôra immediately immerses guests into the rich heritage of this northern Italy region. It is this very sentiment that has garnered the attention of Michelin. “To become a part of [the Michelin] family is inspiring, but more than anything, I hope to be a part of the next generation that teaches the generation after me the respect for this life and profession,” admits Secchi. “Michelin is supportive of that, and it’s humbling to see that.” 27 East 20th St, New York
TSUKIMI
Named after the Japanese tradition of gathering under the full moon with seasonal food and sake as offerings to the moon and as a prayer for a good harvest — also known as ‘moon viewing’ — Tsukimi fuses the past with the present to create the ultimate modern Japanese dining experience in the East Village. Helmed by Executive Chef Takanori Akiyama, Tsukimi serves an elaborate 12-course tasting menu, including the chef’s signature sea urchin and caviar dish he first created in 1999. The legendary dish is followed by a savory rice course prepared in a donabe pot with a special, premium rice, Yukitsubaki. To complete the dynamic menu, Japanese wagashi-inspired desserts are served with a bowl of matcha. The Michelin-starred menu embodies bold yet elegant flavors, making the perfect gourmet harmony. 228 East 10th St, New York English Pea Soup at Tsukimi

Don Angie is a West Village institution. Perhaps because of its acclaimed Lasagna for Two or its upscale take on Italian American comfort food, Don Angie has become a must-visit Michelin-starred restaurant in Manhattan. Founded by the husband-and-wife team of Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli in 2017, the intimate space exudes familiarity, warmly welcoming guests to indulge in Rito and Tacinelli’s passion for challenging conventional Italian American cuisine. Incorporating global flavors in subtle yet exhilarating ways, the menu offers a unique array of dishes, including the Prosciutto & Papaya Salad with tamarind, hazelnut, and sheep’s cheese; the Sorpresine & Smoked Mussels with peroni, pimenton, and cilantro macho; the Sourdough Pasta Cacciatore featuring mezcal-braised chicken, nduja, and Sicilian olives; and the Don Angie’s Fior Di Latte Mochi and Black Cocoa Tiramisu to end on a sweet note. 103 Greenwich Ave, New York

Dwyane Wade has been named one of the NBA’s 75 best players of all time for a reason: his love of and dedication to the game of basketball. He spent the majority of his 16-year career playing for the Miami Heat, winning three NBA championships;he was also a 13time NBA All-Star, an eight-time member of the All-NBA Team, and a three-time member of the All-Defensive Team.
THE WINE: D Wade Cellars THE STORY
Dwyane’s love of wine was fueled by the food and wine he enjoyed with his teammates Chris Bosh and Lebron James while playing for the Heat. During a 2014 harvest trip to Napa Valley, he decided to partner with friend Jayson Pahlmeyer on a label, and D Wade Cellars was born. The brand currently makes a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Chenin Blanc, and a rosé.

THE ATHLETE: Mario Andretti
THE STORY
Earlier this year, Paul joined La Fête Wine Company as an equity partner. As a longtime supporter of the brand — the first entirely black-owned rosé wine company out of St. Tropez — it made sense for Paul, a longtime philanthropist, to align with a brand that champions social causes. Since its 2019 debut, La Fête has donated a portion of its proceeds to programs that provide disadvantaged youth with unique travel experiences, as well as to organizations that create opportunities for people of color in the wine and spirits industry.
Mario Andretti is one of the most successful race car drivers in history — one of only two drivers to have won races in Formula 1, IndyCar, the World Sportscar Championship, and NASCAR. To date, he remains the only driver ever to win the Indianapolis 500 (1969), Daytona 500 (1967), and the Formula 1 World Championship.
THE WINE: Andretti Winery THE STORY
Andretti launched his wine label as a hobby in 1996, two years after retiring from auto racing, as a way of commemorating his storied career. After catching the winemaking bug, he and longtime friend Joe Antonini purchased a plot of land in the Oak Knoll region of Napa Valley, grew several varietals of grapes, and built a Tuscan-themed winery, tasting room, and guesthouse. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 27

McLaren +2022 720S Spider Great design is timeless.
MCLAREN AUTOMOTIVE, ESTABLISHED IN 1985, GREW OUT OF THE
successful racing career of New Zealander, Bruce McLaren. His company, Bruce McLaren Motor Racing, focused primarily on Formula 1 cars. After McLaren’s passing in 1970, the company morphed a few times and, after a 1980 merger, its first entry into the world of street-going cars, the 1991 McLaren F1, was a doozy.* It arrived as a three-seater, with the pilot in the middle and the passengers slightly behind and on either side. It was pricey ($800,000 to $1,000,000), rare (only 64 were made), and really fast (0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, top speed of 217 mph). To date it has seen resales as high as $20,000,000. For the 1990s (and even today), those performance numbers were staggering — no wonder the car was so collectible. Later, McLaren decided to create more of a “people’s sports car” (“people” being defined as those flexible enough to get in and out of a small, low car and wealthy enough to buy it). Their MP4-12C was a great first entry into that market segment, but fast-forward some six years and several intervening models, we have the 2022 McLaren 720S, one of McLaren’s “Supercars” (their other car categories are “GT” and “Ultimate”). First produced in 2017, the 2022 model year 720S Spider (convertible) that was mine for about a week was as fresh as they come . . . and you can’t say that about many cars that were introduced five years ago. First, there’s the aesthetic. The 720S has the proper supercar stance — low, sleek, pointy front, slightly upswept rear, scoops and aerodynamic bobs and weaves, rear wing — and certainly has the sound befitting a car of its stature. Launched in 2017, the Spider version arrived about 24 months later, and the 28 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com
years have been very kind to this car. Everywhere I went it drew a crowd, aided no doubt by the gorgeous Amaranth Red metallic paint and lots of blacked-out bits, including those of carbon fiber, its arrival heralded by the sports exhaust. The base price on “mine” was $315,000, but it sported about $60,000 in options (thank you, McLaren, for the loan!). Of course, the looks would be an empty brag without the performance to back it up and, again, the 720S delivers. With a twin-turbo V8 pumping out over 700 hp, 0 to 60 mph times are 2.8 seconds and the top speed is 212 mph (your mileage and jail time may vary). Even the convertible top is fast — just 11 seconds from one position to the other, and it even operates on the fly, while under way up to about 30 mph. Not surprisingly, the looks and the performance are matched by the sound as the 720S announces its comings and goings with an aria that can range from basso profundo to full-on banshee (depending on your neighbors’ tolerance). I love the sound of a performance engine and McLaren delivers, in spades. One nice thing — McLaren’s Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program can provide a car that appears new, yet the looks, feel, and performance compare favorably with any new car in the segment. As McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt says, “Our mission is not only to build the best supercars in the world, but also to offer the best ownership experience.” Well done, sir. *I use this word advisedly: Some people think the word “doozy” has its roots in the auto world — deriving from the Duesenberg, the top-of-the-line American cars that were introduced to the public in 1920.

ANYONE WHO HAS DRIVEN ON THE ROAD RECENTLY must have noticed that sports utility vehicles (SUVs) have taken over and sent the majority of sedans back to their garages. They sit high so you can see better (unless there’s another SUV in front of you, which is more likely every day), hold everything, and have a cool factor that a minivan could only dream about. So is it any wonder that the car manufacturers decided that, if an SUV was popular, why not make an SSUV (Super SUV), perhaps the auto world’s first Clark Kent/Superman dichotomy, with the first impression being a nice-looking machine but, hidden somewhere under that sheet metal is the power to light up a small city. Of course, we need to give a nod to the Porsche Cayenne (I think that “Porsche Sriracha” wasn’t available), which was at least among the first and one of the most popular ways to combine the practicality of an SUV with the fun and alacrity of a sports car, to create the great combination of huevos and salsa. And since that time (around 2002), Porsche has gone on to create several versions of the Cayenne while others have jumped into the fray with incredibly powerful variants. To achieve the top horsepower
record for a luxury SUV today means that you must consider the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT (679 hp), Lamborghini Urus (650 hp), and a few others (with some even more powerful all-electrics coming at warp speed). But the newest Aston Martin DBX 707 luxury SUV weighs in with a touch under 700 hp. The DBX itself is a great Aston — it ticks all the boxes for an excellent SUV but adds the Aston Martin secret sauce: design, fit, finish, quality materials, Aston DNA — which makes it unmistakably a member of the family. But not to be outdone by others in the luxury SUV space, Aston cooked up its alreadyhealthy twin-turbo V8 so that it pumps out 707 PS. That’s where the name comes from: It’s the equivalent of about 700 hp, has about 665 lb.-ft of torque, and can move this 4,950 lb. (curb weight) hauler 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and keep going on up to 193 mph. (For comparison, the standard DBX has about 535 hp, hits 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 181 mph.) The 707 base price is expected to be roughly $235,000, well above the standard DBX’s base of $176,900. Deliveries are expected to begin around the middle of 2022.
+2022 Mercedes EQS Running against the wind.
HAS THE FUTURE ARRIVED? SILLY QUESTION, I KNOW, AS TODAY
simply is yesterday’s future. But I mean, has the world of Aldous Huxley, Alvin
Toffler, and even Faith Popcorn arrived? Certainly, when it comes to automotive motivation, it may seem so since there are now far more hybrid, electric, and at least partially self-driving cars on the roads worldwide than ever before. The dialogue around e-cars often divides people along aural issues. “Yes, I like the acceleration, but I miss the sound of a healthy internal combustion engine” (ICE, ice baby!). That discussion invariably takes me back to what must have been a frequent conversation among two groups of enthusiasts at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries: “Yes, the automobile is interesting but I miss the dynamic sounds of when the hoofs meet the roadway, the occasional whinny, and even that great new-horse smell.” Apparently even the most outmoded technology can have its adherents, and then there are the Luddites who prefer the way things always have been (or even as they used to be). But clearly as we move toward a petroleum-free future (as they aren’t making any more dinosaurs), what exactly are the alternatives? The best option today is electrification, and exhibit A is the 2022 Mercedes EQS. Mercedes may not be the first carmaker of the modern era to join the electron club but it certainly jumped in with both feet in creating this EQ all-electric sub-brand (EQ, for “electric intelligence”) and the EQS is the S-Class electric car that tops their e-car spectrum. As befits any car with the pedigree of a Mercedes S, the EQS has a myriad creature comforts and a big velvet bag full of electronic wizardry. To start, the car doesn’t look like a traditional Mercedes. The “coefficient of drag” (or CD)
— the measurement of how much wind resistance a car experiences while underway — is crucial in order to efficiently slice through the air to achieve a longer range. The EQS was sculpted in order to minimize the CD so the look resembling a smooth jellybean is truly a form-follows-function concept. With a CD value of .20, it reportedly is the “slipperiest” series production car in the world. And not only does that provide for a longer range on a battery that doesn’t have to be bigger to achieve it, but it also provides for a quieter ride since there’s less wind interference. Inside the cabin, the future is readily apparent, starting with the 56-inch dashboard screen. That’s right — close to five feet of uninterrupted horizontal glass, behind which sit multiple screens for driver info on the left, general functions and navigation in the center (which also can be moved left), and a variety of choices for the front seat passenger on the right. The EQS 450+ Sedan starts at $102,310, has 329 hp and goes 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. Range is about 350 miles. The EQS 580 4MATIC Sedan starts at $119,110, its twin motors together have 516 hp and the car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. The 580’s range has not been announced as of press time. I loved my time with the EQS, which included a multiday trip, as it was a great freeway car (so quiet!), had more than ample luggage capacity (the rear seats fold down), and it was exceptionally comfortable and easy to drive. Those who are concerned about what the future will bring should at least take comfort in knowing that Mercedes has your back (and the rest of you, for that matter) with this well-designed car.

MOVES
LaFerrari’s powerful younger brother. BY TIM LAPPEN

WHEN I SAT DOWN TO WRITE ABOUT THE FERRARI SF90, I HAD TWO
ideas — one was simply to type “Wow!” 500 times, thereby filling my word count while leaving enough room for some nice photos. However, that would not provide much illumination about this incredible vehicle, so I went with the second option — “Wow!” written only 100 times with more discussion following. “Good idea,” said I to no one in particular. “Not so fast,” said my editor. So here’s the result of that negotiation. The SF90 is one of the most incredible vehicles I have ever driven. What does that mean exactly? It means that it is gorgeous, it has copious amounts of power (almost 1,000 hp!), it can accelerate like an aircraft carrier’s jet launcher and can top the speed of virtually any passenger jet’s liftoff velocity. Yet words alone cannot amply describe what it is like to drive a car that has such an ability to thrill that it can accelerate faster than you can say “Isaac Newton” since it’s an object that seemingly never stays at rest. The name SF90 denotes that Scuderia (“stable,” of course) Ferrari was founded 90 years ago. The Scuderia moniker normally is associated with the racing division of a car manufacturer, but when it comes to Ferrari, their street cars are imbued with the soul of their racers so it was appropriate to denote this street car as the SF90 as it is the first Ferrari ever to combine potent gasoline-powered energy (769 hp) with three electric motors (217 hp). Two of those motors are independent of each other and motivate the front wheels while the third motor assists the gas engine in providing the thrust to the gearbox and, by extension, the rear wheels. And boy does that power (a total of 986 hp) perform, with 0 to 60 mph hit in 2.5 seconds, quicker than you can say “License and registration, too?”
All Ferraris are both sinewy and svelte and the SF90 does not wander from that formula. With purposeful scoops, vents, wings, and slats, the car looks fast when stopped and is superfast when underway. The top speed is 211 mph but it’s how it gets there — the way it feels and sounds — and the way it handles once there that combine to make this car so amazing. It clearly is a close relative of the Ferrari Formula 1 cars as it’s so comfortable under heavy acceleration and cruising at high speed (no, I didn’t exceed 200 mph; I promise that I was below 150 mph virtually the entire time). And yet there is no punishment imposed as a byproduct of that astounding performance as the car feels like it’s on the way to far greater speeds, so comfortable is it under all of the conditions that I experienced. The SF90 clearly is a performance car for the ages but it’s also beautiful, easy, and fun to drive, plus it sounds great. Since it’s a plug-in hybrid, I was surprised (not really) to see that it wasn’t on the California DMV carpooleligible list but, then again, maybe that’s not the target market. With a base price of $513, 691, perhaps not that many owners will be commuting 9 to 5. However and wherever you drive it, if you’re fortunate enough to get some seat time with this special car, I predict that you will love every minute of it. @hauteauto HAUTE LIVING 31

NOTEWORTHY Hublot introduces new timepieces at LVMH Watch Week 2022. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
LVMH Watch Week, which was dedicated to the group’s four maisons: Bvlgari, TAG Heuer, Zenith, and Hublot. The LVMH Watch Week, now in its third edition, welcomes watchmaking craftspeople and industry tastemakers into the wonderful world of timepiece artisanship. For Hublot, this year marks a return of bespoke classics with a modern upgrade and novelties worth noting.
TIME ONLY: FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE BIG BANG INTEGRAL IN 40MM
For the first time, Hublot has featured three pieces, three hands, and three materials in one 40mm diameter. This is a first for the Big Bang Integral — and an exclusively sleek design. “No one was expecting it, so of course, we did it: a Big Bang Integral that is more compact, vibrant, and powerful than ever, while also being more refined than any of its other timepieces,” explains Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot. “It has been a true exercise in watch design, retaining our aesthetic and technical grammar but in a totally new format for us. We pulled off the challenge by creating a Big Bang Integral, which once again proves its versatility and modernity!”
BIG BANG ONE CLICK 33-, 39- AND 42MM
For a trendier yet sophisticated approach, the Big Bang One Click 33s reveals its multiple facets and come with the new luxury of silky bracelets in a range of vibrant colors. “Hublot excels in flouting conventions, perfectly matching materials that are rarely seen together or have no natural affinity. It’s been [an exceptionally] long time since timepieces were synonymous with austerity. Precision is the common denominator of Haute Horlogerie and jewelry. The Big Bang One Click combines the best of both worlds by giving you the freedom to match your jewelry with your look,” says Guadalupe.

THE BIG BANG UNICO GOLF, ORANGE CARBON EDITION
Inspired by renowned American professional golfer Dustin Johnson, the Big Bang Unico gold watch — the first mechanical golf watch with aperture display — is back, but this time, in orange carbon. Designed for the modern golfer, the watch is equipped with an exclusive shot-counting mechanism. “The combination of this great sport, this great champion, and this great mechanical golf watch continues to excite us, and we’re very proud to introduce this latest version of what has become an icon in golf and in Swiss watchmaking,” explains Guadalupe.
THE MAGIC OF INKED TIME: THREE NEW MODELS OF BIG BANG SANG BLEU II
The Hublot x Sang Bleu collaboration continues with three new Big Bang Sang Bleu II iterations. In the seventh year of collaboration, Maxime Plescia-Buchi chose to apply his ink to two iconic materials born from the Hublot Art of Fusion — magic gold and ceramic. “We love these long-term collaborations [that] allow us to combine, experiment with, and transpose our expertise and our vision to develop them and push them to new limits,” reveals Guadalupe. “Our scratch-resistant materials engraved with the indelible lines of the Sang Bleu geometry imbue with even greater meaning the messages he conveys through his art: perfection, balance, precision, inalterability, and irreversibility.”
THE RETURN TO YELLOW GOLD
Last, but equally significant, Hublot returns to its heritage. Six new Hublot pieces were exclusively unveiled at LVMH Watch Week that recaptured the original essence of the manufacture: the fusion of gold and rubber in a sporty-chic aesthetic, at a time when, over four decades ago, the concept of the elevated sport watch didn’t even exist.

masterful collection of timepieces. The new models, the SLGH009 and the SLGA013, form part of the Heritage Collection, a signature line in the celebration of the 55th anniversary of the 44GS. Both creations focus on the three fundamental pillars for the brand: precision, durability, and beauty. For these watches, Grand Seiko opted for a diameter of 40mm, giving them a sporty, elegant look. For the dials, Grand Seiko looked to the sky for inspiration, drawing on the elliptical pattern of the orbit of stars, deeply etched into the surface. The result? An understated yet mesmerizing appeal. Aesthetically similar, the Ever-Brilliant Steel, which is made of corrosion-resistant metal that outperforms the 316L steel commonly used in watches. It can also be polished to perfection, reflecting a brilliant white hue that suits these watches perfectly. While both the SLGH009 and SLGA013 may look similar, there is a profound difference between them. SLGH009 features Grand Seiko’s caliber 9SA5. This automatic movement runs at 36,000 VpH and has a generous power reserve of 80 hours. The finishing of the movement is breathtaking and a true joy to behold. SLGA013 highlights another area of expertise of Grand Seiko, as it is powered by Spring Drive technology. For caliber 9RA2, the brand switched the power reserve indicator to the back of the movement while maintaining the other characteristics. It comes with a five-day power reserve, and thanks to the Spring Drive, it is accurate to around 10 seconds per month. Both watches will be available as limited editions of 550 at the Grand Seiko Boutiques and select Grand Seiko retail stores worldwide in February 2022.

LOUIS VUITTON STANDS AT THE INTERSECTION OF
innovative technology and vibrant storytelling to elevate the experience of traditional haute horlogerie. The latest creation, the Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum, further explores the intricacies of high-level watchmaking. “The Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum is not only a formidable horological feat, it is a unique and disruptive complicated hybrid watch that combines the best of the mechanical and electronic worlds at the service of both legibility and design,” explains Jean Arnault, the director of marketing and development at Louis Vuitton Watches. Inspired by the bioluminescence of deep-sea creatures, the new release utilizes a dozen tiny LEDs that light up the Spin Time display from within, creating an electrifying glow. The hour cubes illuminate on demand, adding a fourth dimension to the signature complication. The 42mm watch features a sleek matte
black titanium case complemented by a contrasting luminous yellow-green color on the dial — the trademark colors of SuperLuminova. The Tambour embraces a bold, vibrant design that is both sophisticated and contemporary, adhering to the codes of Louis Vuitton watchmaking. Developed by the esteemed La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the movement is powered by the proprietary LV 68 calibre (two batteries power the electronic features of the watch), which sits at the center of the watch, designed to appear as if it is floating within the watch case. As a unique twist, the floating cubes of the Spin Time each make a quarter revolution twice a day (two cubes every 60 minutes), prompted by the Maltese cross gears positioned at a right angle to the movement. The Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum has undoubtedly set a new precedent for technical in the world of high watchmaking.

equal. Some are just more important than others because, as with other industries, market share and profitability play an essential role. With few exceptions, this is usually not achieved with overly complicated, limited edition pieces but more so with a strong foundation collection. Zenith is strengthening theirs with the introduction of the Defy Skyline. The Defy Skyline is what is often referred to as a three-hander. This means that next to hours and minutes, it also displays the seconds, often complemented by a date function. Zenith opted for a case diameter of 41mm, giving the watch a strong profile. Its character is further enhanced by the bezel, for which the brand took inspiration from the very first Defy, the A3642. A large crown makes winding and setting the watch a breeze. The Defy Skyline won’t need to be wound that often as it is fitted with an automatic movement and a generous 60-hour power reserve. Zenith wanted to make sure that its latest creation would endure in any circumstance, and with a water resistance of 100 meters, it is certainly not afraid of being dunked. It also comes with an interchangeable strap system, allowing you to swap from a metal bracelet to a rubber strap in mere minutes. The subdial for the seconds moves with 1/10th
increments, setting the Defy Skyline even further apart. This is thanks to manufacture caliber 3620, which runs at 36,000 VpH/5 Hz. This beautifully finished movement can be admired through the sapphire caseback. The Defy Skyline is offered in three dial colors: black, blue, and silver. All feature a pattern on the dial inspired by the night sky. A generous coating of SuperLuminova on the hands and the hour markers ensures that when you admire the real night sky yourself, you can still read the time just as easily. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 39

A Gucci Love Affair “Meet me on Hollywood Boulevard” is how the show invitations announced the event, with envelopes that were sealed with a kiss from Alessandro Michele, as Gucci shut down Hollywood Boulevard for an iconic evening under — and with — the stars to reveal the 2022 Gucci Love Parade collection. Presented as an ode to Michele’s mother, who worked in the film industry as an assistant in a production company and would tell enchanting tales of Hollywood, the collection exemplifies Michele’s own notion of Hollywood. “Mum always told me about it: Los Angeles shines in its own magic, which is timeless; it’s a place that brushes the divinities, becoming a mythology of the possible,” Michele writes in the show notes. From stunning, ethereal lace gowns and floral dresses to dramatic cowboy hats and the brand-new Blondie bag, the Gucci Love Parade weaves a story of desire and romance that underscores the ease of California living.

FACE MASKS A BEGINNER’S GUIDE How to choose the facial skincare mask that will give your skin an optimal glow.
96 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty
dermatologist or plastic surgeon skin specialist will help you understand your individual skin best. Then you can home in on the mask that will address your specific skin issues.
STEP 1:
Let’s first look at mask ingredients, as your skin type and issues will guide you toward the ingredients required to solve any skin problems. Acne And Inflamed + Oily Skin: Face masks can help calm inflamed skin and prevent breakouts but they aren’t a long-term remedy for acne, so daily use of a gentle, barrier-loving skincare product should still be a part of your beauty routine. For adult acne, avoid teen products with benzoyl peroxide. Instead, look for salicylic acid, azelaic acid, and natural enzymes like papain from papayas and bromelain from pineapples to gently remove dead skin and pore-clogging substances while putting out the fire of inflammation. Sensitive And Inflamed: If your skin is sensitive and inflamed, it is most definitely barrier-disordered. In this case, gentle, pH-appropriate (around pH 5) products containing no emulsifiers or detergents are preferred. Too high or too low pH destroys the natural fats in your skin’s protective lipid bilayer, and emulsifiers wash away those good fats, leaving skin with an inability to function properly. Thus, you get more sensitivities. Instead, seek out inflammation-quenching and soothing ingredients like Butcher’s-broom, rose hip seed oil, Betadefensin, IGF-1, and D-panthenol in a rich lipid-based formulation of phosphatidylcholine and the proper ratio of cholesterols, ceramides, and fatty acids to repair your skin’s barrier. Dark Spots And Hyperpigmentation: Brightening ingredients like tranexamic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, kojic acid, and gigawhite

skincare masks that promise, among other things, enduring hydration, clearer, younger-looking skin, and even softer, dewy skin. From clay and mud to creams, gels, and exfoliating complexes, there are specially formulated ingredients that target every kind of skin problem. Aging? Check. Hyperpigmentation? Check. Acne, sunspots, clogged pores? Yep, there’s a mask or a sheet or a cream for that. Facial skincare masks work their magic by soaking the face with your chosen formula for a set period, usually 10 to 20 minutes, giving the ingredients more time to penetrate and take effect. They can be an effective way to deliver an intensive burst of nourishing and therapeutic skincare ingredients in a highly concentrated form. Masks can be a fantastic tool to have in your beauty arsenal, but not all skincare masks are a good fit for every skin type. Depending on your skin type and goals, different masks work better for different skins. And, while they can be a quick fix for some issues like inflammation and dehydration, their benefits are only temporary, so you should always use them in conjunction with daily skincare products. In general, limit face mask application to just once a week and always discontinue if irritation develops. Sounds great, but what’s the downside? Because of their length of application and concentration, a mask can be risky and lead to a surprising number of issues, including dryness, irritation, redness, and breakouts if the wrong type is used. With hundreds of face mask formulas out there, which one should you pick? The physiology of your unique skin will determine which ingredients are best for you, so go to a skin specialist first to get to know your skin. It’s surprising how many people misdiagnose their own skin, so a

compound with botanicals like licorice root extract work to lighten and brighten multiple layers of pigmentation. If the skin isn’t too sensitive, you can combine the brighteners with exfoliating ingredients such as alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), lactic acid, and natural fruit enzymes to help remove dead, discolored skin from the surface. Dry, Dehydrated Skin: Dry, dehydrated skin needs serious hydration as well as barrier repair to keep water from escaping, so you’ll want to use a face mask filled with water-retaining humectants like hyaluronic acid, urea, and glycerin combined with barrier-restoring CM-glucan and lipids, including ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterols. Fine Lines And Signs of Aging: Although deeper wrinkles will likely require a trip to your plastic surgeon or dermatologist for laser resurfacing, radiofrequency microneedling, and fillers, certain face masks can help minimize the appearance of fine lines. Masks containing high doses of antioxidants like esterified vitamin C, along with vitamin E, coQ10, isoflavones, EGCG, green tea extract, and resveratrol from grape seed extract work to protect the skin from the things that cause fine lines, such as environmental pollution and UV damage.
STEP 2:
Now that you know which ingredients to focus on for your skin issues, you’ll want to narrow down the type of carrier material of the face mask that’s best for you and your skin. Certain ingredients and face mask types go together like PB&J.
MUD, CLAY, AND CHARCOAL Mud Masks: Ideal for many skin types, mud masks are designed to give a deep, but hydrating cleanse. They may be similar in appearance to the clay variety, but because they are water-based, they are more hydrating and are suitable for people with dryer, duller skin. You’ll often find mud masks containing various gentle alpha-hydroxy acids and fruit extracts. These are best for tolerant, but drier, congested skin. Sensitive and rosacea-prone skin should look elsewhere, though, as water-based and acidic products can cause flare-ups. Clay: Clay is mud’s cousin. The main difference between the two is that mud is a skin-healing agent, while clay is a cosmetic, drying agent. Clay masks are most useful for those with oily skin who are prone to breakouts of acne and blemishes. Clay masks, which are rich in minerals, are also great for revitalizing dull skin. The two main types of clay masks — kaolin and bentonite — absorb excess oil and are suitable for both oily and acneprone skin. They can be a little drying, though so already dry, dehydrated skin types may want to be wary. Ultimately, knowing your skin type and the results you wish to achieve through a mask is essential, but both mud and clay-based products can deliver great benefits to the skin, too. Charcoal: Charcoal face masks contain activated charcoal, an ingredient that has unique detoxifying properties. There’s little evidence to support the use of charcoal face masks, however, so this is not a preferred treatment in my book. Unlike most other peel-off face masks, peel-off charcoal masks contain an adhesive that dries upon application and is then peeled away from the skin, along with dead skin cells. Further, charcoal peel-off masks claim to be able to physically remove blackheads, and this is false. The white debris removed by these masks is usually sebaceous filaments, not blackheads. Sebaceous filaments are a combination of dead skin cells, sebum, and bacteria that naturally occur around hair follicles, and are not a sign of infection. Removing them does not have any beneficial effect. While these masks often succeed at removing debris, their method of doing so is quite aggressive. The removal process is often painful for many users, and strips away healthy skin cells and small vellus hairs — a process that leaves the skin irritated and vulnerable to infection. So while it can remove surface impurities, it is too risky and does not have enough benefit to invest in.
MOISTURIZING, HYDRATING CREAMS, AND GELS Cream Masks: Thicker cream masks can be great for particularly dry skin that needs a healthy dose of moisturization. These lipid-based moisturizers hydrate your skin by capturing the moisture within the oil barrier and hold more beneficial compounds, including essential fatty acids, vitamin F, and phospholipids, which is why cream moisturizers are not only hydrating but also nourishing. People with dry skin can really benefit from using cream moisturizers because cream moisturizers can work on so many levels. If you have mature skin, cream moisturizers can help with fine lines and wrinkles. This mask is ideal for carrying fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A and E as well as barrier lipids that efficiently deliver them to particularly devitalized skin. This type of mask supports intensive recovery. They are left on and not rinsed off to allow for continued skin penetration. Luxurious overnight masks often fall into this category. Gel Masks: Gel masks are usually oil-free, which makes their texture light. They can hydrate your skin without clogging your pores. With added hyaluronic acid as a water-boosting humectant, gel formulas typically include cucumber or aloe vera to soothe and calm inflamed skin, making them ideal for sensitized (not sensitive) skin. However, they are not ideal for more rosacea-prone skin, which can worsen with water-based products. Additionally, the alcohol in gel masks allows them to dry or “cure” quickly but can cause dryness and irritation if you have sensitive skin.
EXFOLIATING: ACIDS, SCRUBS, AND ENZYMES Alpha Hydroxy Acid Masks: Sugar acid or AHA exfoliants, like glycolic acid and lactic acid, are featured extensively in many exfoliating face masks. These mild acids work to remove dead cells built upon the surface of the face, leaving skin looking brighter and feeling smoother. The application of these acids is weaker than that of a chemical peel but produces many of the same benefits. Rosaceaprone, sensitized, sensitive, or dehydrated skin are likely to respond negatively to these acids, so exercise caution if you choose to use them. Physical Scrubbing Masks: You will also often see physical scrub masks on the store shelves, but you really should know what the scrub is made from to understand the impact it can have on your skin. For instance, while smooth, round jojoba beads in a cream mask base are a safe and effective physical exfoliant, crushed nut shells or fruit seeds (hello, apricot scrub, we are looking at you!) are not preferred because of their rough and jagged nature. They can do more damage to your skin than good. Enzyme Masks: Fruit enzymes, such as those derived from pineapples and papayas, are another way to exfoliate. Typically mild and nonirritating to most skin types except the most sensitive, they also break down dead skin cells to even skin tone and brighten skin, as well as smooth rough-textured skin.
PEEL-OFF AND SHEET MASKS Peel-Off Alga-Based Masks: With a rubberlike texture, they’re kind of fun to remove, (you know you’ve seen the Instagram reels!) These masks can be used for just about any skin concern if they contain individual skin-suiting ingredients. Some contain acids, such as glycolic and salicylic, that exfoliate and combat acne. Others are full of hydrating hyaluronic acid or antioxidants like green tea and grape seed extract. Overall, they are safe, versatile, and refreshing. Sheet Masks: First popularized in Korea, most sheet masks contain moisturizing hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which help restore the skin’s barrier; and antioxidants, which defend against free radicals. Sheet masks tend to be deeply hydrating and inflammation-quenching, so they are particularly great for post-procedure skin, dry skin, inflamed skin, and fine lines. hauteliving.com/hautebeauty HAUTE LIVING

Scar Less Cosmetic Surgery The art of rethinking years-old techniques and bringing them into the 21st century.
Haute Beauty: What are “Scar Less” cosmetic surgical procedures? Dr. Robert Vitolo: Essentially, it is a way of rethinking yearsold techniques and bringing them into the 21st century through advancements in surgery and the development of new techniques. I have taken common surgeries, such as breast augmentation, brow and face lift, and rhinoplasties and am able to accomplish the same results without leaving visible or minimal scarring. HB: When were you introduced to the Scar Less technique? RV: About 20 years ago, general surgeons started to change the climate of doing gall bladder surgery through endoscopic technique, so why weren’t we able to use the same concept in breast enlargement? Scars are telltale signs of breast augmentation, no matter where you put them, they are visible. In the Scar Less technique we make a small incision in the bottom of the belly button and insert empty safe saline implants through that incision under the existing breast tissue. We then fill the empty saline implants from outside of the body with saline (saltwater) solution and the empty implants enlarge making the breast larger. When we make an incision through the belly button it results in scar on a scar, basically becoming imperceptible to the eye. For more on this remarkable technique, visit drvitolo.com. 98 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty
HB: You are like an artist with a canvas. You put tons of precision, thought, and knowledge into these procedures. How do you take a highly personalized approach to each patient? RV: Every woman’s breasts are unique. The first thing I do when I examine a woman for breast enlargement is I point out the discrepancies in size, shape, and position. I aim to get [the] breasts as symmetrical and natural looking as possible. Once a woman has a breast enlargement, [she] will notice these asymmetries unless we work to correct it through the Scar Less technique. The Scar Less breast enlargement technique is unique in plastic surgery, and it can only be performed with safe saline implants. Since I perform many of these procedures weekly, we stock all the different sizes and contours of implants in our surgicenter. This allows us to accurately select the proper size and contour of the implant to be used rather than the implants that were typically ordered for doctors that were performing a procedure. When I perform a Scar Less breast enlargement, I begin by having a patient choose a photograph of what they want to look like. After selecting a photograph, both the patient and I are on the same page and during the procedure we refer to the photograph and compare the augmented breasts to the photograph. By using this technique, I am able to create a breast that the patient has already selected in the photograph. I don’t preselect the size and contour of the implant as most plastic surgeons do. Before we insert the actual implant, we use what is called a “sizer”, “a single-use temporary implant that is available in all shapes and sizes, that is not meant for permanent insertion.” We put a sizer in each breast and through the fill tube that comes out the belly button we inflate each sizer with saline solution, the sizer gets larger and the breast tissue expands outward. By doing this technique we have created a pocket for the implant that is the exact size that is necessary [without creating] any bleeding or damage to the tissue as the implant slowly expands and pushes the tissue under the breast out of the way. We adjust the volumes of the temporary implant sizers with the patient in a sitting position and then slowly remove the saline until the breast looks like the photograph that the patient selected. We then know the exact volume and implant profile that will create that look. We then select that implant from our inventory and insert the real implants. The difference between the Scar Less technique that I perform is that the procedure usually takes 30 minutes, but 20 minutes of that time is spent determining how much saline to put in each implant. That allows [us] to not guess the size and shape of the implant being inserted before

AS WE AGE, WE GAIN INSIGHT, CONFIDENCE, AND WISDOM — and pay for it with wrinkles, creases, and sagging. But through modern cosmetic techniques such as Scar Less (TUBA) breast enlargement, mommy makeovers, and facelifts, you can look better than ever. Haute Beauty expert Dr. Robert Vitolo, a world-renowned plastic and cosmetic surgeon, performs transumbilical breast enlargement through a Scar Less technique. Haute Beauty sat down with Dr. Vitolo to talk about how he began to perform these procedures and what really makes them unique.
HB: What is your most popular Scar Less procedure? RV: Probably breast augmentation. Prior existing techniques don’t allow for the scars to be hidden. I have worked to develop other techniques based on the original no-scar breast enlargement, but breast enlargement is the most popular technique because it is the most-requested procedure in cosmetic surgery.

Clockwise from top left: Scar Less closed rhinoplasty, Scar Less brow lift with standard face and neck lift, Scar Less brow and mid facelift In the Scar Less Closed Rhinoplasty that I perform, there is no scar that is visible on the outside of the nose. Typically, with an open rhinoplasty where the surgeon makes an incision on the tissue between the nostrils and lifts up the tissue to visualize the underlying structures, there is a scar that is left where that incision was made. In the Scar Less Eye Lid Surgery on the lower eye lids that is designed to remove the excess fat pads, I do not make an incision underneath the eyelashes and lift the skin up to access the fat beneath. I make an incision inside the eyelid and remove the excess fat from that incision. The beauty of this is that there is no scar and most patients do not develop any bruising after the surgery, and they can also return to work in usually one day.

the surgery is performed [while allowing] us to select the right implant volume and profile for each patient. Based on years of experience and thousands of breast enlargements, I have been able to estimate how much of the breast will change after the surgery. That is the art of the procedure, one has to be able to create a picture of the breast before it exists and factor in how much the breast will change over the next few months and take into account all the factors that can create the final results. HB: Other than minimal scarring, what are the additional benefits of Scar Less breast augmentation? RV: The Scar Less breast enlargement technique usually takes a total of 30 minutes. These are the advantages. There is no visible scar and almost no bleeding from this procedure. Most patients can go back to work or their normal activities within a day or two because of the minimal trauma inflicted on the body. The pain level is minimal; although we give patients a supply of strong pain medication, very few women take more than one the first night and beyond. HB: As discussed, you use the Scar Less technique for other procedures. What other procedures do you perform with the Scar Less technique? RV: The Endoscopic Brow and Mid-face procedure is a facelift with no visible scars. And that is because all the small incisions are hidden in the hair. There is usually no bruising with these procedures and most patients can return to work in four to five days, where a standard open facelift usually takes two weeks or more before acceptable healing to be in public.
HB: Is there a reason you continued to perform Scar Less procedures? RV: All our procedures are designed to create the best, longest-lasting result for the patient without creating unwanted scars. The last thing any surgeon wants is to have an unsatisfied patient. I never want to be in that position, so our entire practice is geared toward satisfying a patient with natural-looking surgeries. HB: What is your philosophy for having a satisfied patient? RV: My entire practice is geared around satisfied patients and giving them a result that they desired. We specialize in natural-looking cosmetic surgery without creating any telltale scars in the process. From the minute a patient enters my office they are greeted warmly by my small but very experienced staff; basically you can call our practice a boutique practice. I spend a great deal of time investigating what the patient’s short-term and long-term goals are. We design a plan for not only the current surgery but also possible surgeries in the future. We take into account the patients’ desires and also their budgets and try to maximize their results for what they are able to afford. My philosophy is “If you want something done well, you have to do it yourself.” I don’t delegate any ask in my practice to other physicians, physician assistants or nurses. Every stitch that I put in, I personally take out. Every filler I inject, I inject myself. Many years ago, I learned to ensure that you have the best possible results, you are the one that has to perform the procedure and its follow-up, and myself and my staff are geared toward making every patient’s experience a memorable one.

SPOTLIGHT ON: MONACO WHERE TO STAY, PLAY, WINE, AND DINE IN THE PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO, ONE OF THE FRENCH RIVIERA’S HAUTEST DESTINATIONS BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
Prestigious hotels, high-end spas, private beaches, cocktails by the sea, and royalty: These are the characteristics that define Monaco, a sovereign city-state and microstate on the French Riviera known for its wealth and unparalleled glamour, Princess Grace, and the Formula 1 Grand Prix. It is a destination full of magic, where time appears to have stood still. Here, we highlight why it needs to be on your radar.
WHAT’S NEW
Monaco’s iconic Casino Square has been restored to its former glory while providing a fresh, spacious, and safe place to meet. The renovated Place du Casino not only has more pedestrian-friendly spaces, but also preserves the famous Formula 1 Grand Prix race course, and now has space for Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Group’s VIP customers to park their Insta-worthy cars. Then, this world-famous locale has always enjoyed the crème de la crème of luxury shopping, but the new One Monte-Carlo district — located between the Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo and the Place du Casino — takes things to another level. In addition to boutiques from top designers, including Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Prada, visitors can look forward to haute couture-level snacks at Mada One (helmed by Michelin-starred chef Marcel Ravin), all surrounded by a lush new landscaped area created to continue the principality’s emphasis on sustainable design. On that note, it would be remiss not to mention its lofty green goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. To meet this milestone, the city-state is determined to improve its tourism economy through environmentally conscious initiatives, including the Monaco E-Prix and E-Rally, as well as green transportation that includes e-bikes, e-cars, and e-boats.

Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo’s lobby
Ideally located right in the center of the principality, a short walk from the Place du Casino, Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is striking because of its Mediterranean styling, all 62 rooms and 63 suites of which have been decorated by famous French designer Jacques Garcia. [The most luxurious room is the Suite Carré d’Or, with its 1,200-square-foot private terrace overlooking the water.] The second phase of his property-wide embellishment and renovation will be unveiled in April 2023. Meanwhile, late and great fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld is responsible for Odyssey, the stylish outdoor pool-restaurant-bar that’s shielded by gardens, with a heated seawater pool backed by oversize glass screens with black-and-white images portraying the legendary Greek king. This hotel is a gourmand’s dream destination: It offers a whopping four Joël Robuchon eateries, including Yoshi, the late chef’s first Japanese restaurant. The property is also known for its spa, having opened the third Givenchy spa in the world in April 2017. For an out-of-the-ordinary experience, try the hotel’s Just for You experiences: scrupulously coordinated, bespoke outings that include everything from Grand Prix training to flying a helicopter over Mont Blanc.

HOTEL DE PARIS MONTE-CARLO
The lobby at Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo The Diamond Suite Riviera at Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo
The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, situated on the legendary Place du Casino, has been a Monaco icon since 1884, having hosted everyone from the Rockefellers to the Rothschilds, and, specifically, the wedding reception of Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace. In 2014, the palace embarked on a $665 million, four-year renovation led by French architect Richard Martinet, emerging with 208 refreshed rooms, including 96 luxurious suites, an open-air, tree-lined courtyard of haute jewelry, two royal-themed rooftop villas (Jacuzzi tubs included), a second Alain Ducasse eatery — ÔMER joined the three Michelin-starred restaurant Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse à l’Hôtel de Paris, and the one-starred Le Grill — as well as a star-stylist-branded salon that offers private yacht service, a first for the principality. The Hôtel de Paris is also, quite uniquely, home to the world’s largest hotel wine cellar, stocked with more than 350,000 bottles, half of which hail from Bordeaux. For the best stay possible, book the two-story Princess Grace Suite, an homage to American actress Grace Kelly, who famously wed the city-state’s Prince Rainier III in 1956. Spanning the entire seventh and eighth floors, the suite pays tribute to the legendary royal through artwork and books from her personal library as well as bouquets of her favorite blush pink roses. Expect mother-of-pearl inlays, 180-degree seaside views, and spa-like features such as a granite-carved hot tub. Pl. du Casino, 98000 Monaco

This modern and luxurious hotel in the heart of Monaco is the epitome of refinement. Of its many gorgeous Belle Epoque details, the most famous is perhaps its Gustave Eiffel–designed glass dome. With its decorative urns, ornate mantle clocks, and its classic French furnishings, it pulls together that image of a 19thcentury palace, and the romance and exclusivity that comes with it. The hotel’s 278 rooms are just as elegant thanks to their Louis XV-style furnishings and periodfriendly powdered tones, though it should be noted that the terrace rooms are the ones to beat due to their views of the sea and harbor. The hotel also features a beach club on a totally private stretch of sand, as well as the futuristic, 75,000-squarefoot Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo spa, which is among the best in Europe with its heated saltwater pool, hammam, and Jacuzzi overlooking the Prince’s Palace — as well as the totally cool, secret underground passage that leads there.

LOCAL EXPERIENCES
Le Grill at Hôtel de Paris
No stay in the principality is complete without a taste of the local delicacies, and Monaco is positively brimming with places to appreciate local traditions. In the Monaco-Ville District, beneath the pine trees on the Place du Palais, try the Monegasque stockfish, a quintessential dish that you’ll also find in the colorful streets of the Old Town, at La Montgolfière. Continuing through the narrow streets, hidden treasure Club Bouliste du Rocher is the perfect place to relax in the shade on the restaurant’s terrace overlooking Port Hercule. For another very special local experience, head to Perles de Monte-Carlo at Port of Fontvieille, and enjoy their exceptional Monaco-raised selection of oysters. Beefbar Monaco

MICHELIN-STARRED EXPERIENCES
There are 12 Michelin-recognized restaurants in Monaco, no mean feat for a country that’s under four miles in radius. Start with Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo and its three Michelin stars, where Riviera-inspired cuisine marries the finest local produce with stunning vintages to be found in the hotel’s fabled wine cellars. On the eighth floor of the luxury hotel is another star, this one held by Le Grill, whose kitchens have been overseen by chef Franck Cerutti for over 20 years. Yannick Alléno à l’Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo blends the finest gastronomic dishes with healthy eating and well-being — “The best of the simple”— as the three Michelin-starred chef likes to say, on the restaurant’s terrace with unmatched panoramic views of Port Hercule and the Rock. On the other side of the Place du Casino, the Hôtel Métropole MonteCarlo’s Michelin-starred restaurant is hidden behind the entrance with its two majestic Roman-style columns. Yoshi is the place to be for lovers of Japanese cuisine, with maki, sashimi, fish, and meat prepared teppanyaki-style by chef Takeo Yamazaki, accompanied by the finest sakes, whiskies, or Japanese green teas. Culinary magnificence continues nearby at La Table d’Antonio Salvatore at the Rampoldi, which earned its first Michelin star in 2021 for its merging of classics and original and creative dishes. Down the famous hairpin bend on the Formula 1 circuit, the sea comes into view along the newly refurbished Larvotto Beach, at the far end of which stands the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort and the Blue Bay. There, chef Marcel Ravin weaves his culinary alchemy to blend Caribbean and Mediterranean flavors to exquisite effect. On the very edge of the principality is Monte-Carlo Beach, which opens every year for the summer season. Elsa, one of three restaurants at this timeless seaside location, is the first serving exclusively organically sourced food and wild-caught fish to be awarded a Michelin star. Other Michelinrecognized dining experiences include La Montgolfière-Henri Geraci, a family-run eatery on a small pedestrian street in Old Town;Song Qi, a swanky gourmet Chinese restaurant opposite Grimaldi Forum; Beefbar, a trendy “meat” bar that serves quality Wagyu, Black Angus, and more on the docks of Fontvieille Marina;and Maya Bay, a Japanese-and-Thai-specific experience.

TRAVEL
So what else is there to do in Monaco when you’re not indulging in gastronomic experiences, spending time at the spa, designer shopping, or suntanning? The answer is: quite a lot, actually. Visitors can tour the Palais du Prince (when the royal is not in residence, that is) and explore the lush Princess Grace Rose Garden or the Musée Oceanographique, one of the oldest aquariums in the world. Get your James Bond fix at the Casino de Monte Carlo, one of the most famous in the world thanks to its Beaux Arts–style marble atrium and onyx columns, which served as the setting and inspiration for 2006’s Casino Royale. And, of course, one should make it a mission to catch the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, a race through the streets of the city past Boulevard Albert I, that takes place each May.

the +Embracing Travel Comeback HotelPlanner centers its hotel reservation system in the gig economy. BY GABRIEL PESSOA
HOTELPLANNER IS A LEADING TRAVEL COMPANY THAT COMBINES PROPRIETARY ARTIFICIAL
intelligence with a global, gig economy-based concierge platform to create a hotel reservation system with a focus on group travel. Tim Hentschel, CEO of HotelPlanner, recently spoke with Haute Living about the company’s continued growth and its successful adaptation to uncertain times as the travel industry continues to recover.
Haute
Haute Living: Can you explain what it is that makes HotelPlanner so attractive to the group travel market? Tim Hentschel: We’ve been in business for 18 years. We are founder-owned and operated, and our co-founder and CIO John Prince runs our proprietary AI-enabled booking engine entirely in-house. Inherently, cutting-edge technology is behind everything we do. We like to combine high-tech with high-touch, and that is why we are superior in the area of group hotel bookings — all of the major online travel agencies (i.e., Expedia.com and Booking.com) use our services. In 2020, we also launched a first-of-its-kind gig economy call center with the same high-tech and high-touch concept in mind.
HL: Coming out of the pandemic, do you anticipate an industry shift where travel becomes an even larger part of our global culture? TH: I can tell you that the rebound has been very quick and very robust. The volume that we are seeing is huge, and the customers that we are getting are less price sensitive than I’ve ever seen in the 20-year history of selling hotel rooms online. It shows that there’s a strong desire for getting back out there on the road and in the sky. People want to treat themselves, so this return to travel has been dominated by leisure travelers; they are eagerly looking for new experiences, to live life again now that the pandemic is — more or less — behind us. HL: Your company more than doubled its revenue recently. To what would you attribute this success? TH: I think it’s a combination of the demand for localized service through our gig-based travel agent concierge platform, as well as the high demand from the travel industry with everyone wanting to get back out there and travel again. So really, we’ve got two very positive tailwinds going for us right now.

HL: Your company has shown a lot of foresight and resourcefulness with taking advantage of the gig economy. How much would you say resourcefulness aligns with your company’s vision? TH: Quite a bit. Obviously, COVID-19 has been very hard on the travel industry, so our pivot made sense because the gig economy allows us to provide localized and customized service. This is important because during COVID, people had a lot of questions about local protocols, which hotels were still operating and to what capacity, and what regulations these hotels were operating under. As we come out of COVID and travel rebounds strongly, the demand for personalized service [will keep] increasing. We currently have about 3,500 gig economy travel agents, so it’s clear that people really like the service.

undoubtedly has the full and unwavering support of his castmates. And on a Friday evening in New York, the cast of the ever-popular series was there in admiration and in celebration of Stoll and his Haute Living cover reveal. The evening’s festivities began with a rendezvous at the new Vacheron Constantin Manhattan flagship store on 57th Street. Stoll and co-star David Costabile, alongside wife Eliza Baldi, joined guests for cocktails at the renowned timepiece retail location. The lavish store spans over 4,500 square feet over two floors. A distinctive glass facade opens directly onto 57th Street, inviting collectors and visitors into a discovery of the maison’s creativity and impeccable craftsmanship in a harmonious old-meets-new environment befitting the spirit of the company’s contemporary watchmaking. Nina Dennis, Vacheron Constantin’s director, said a few words in honor of the Billions actor as well as the wonderful collaborative evening hosted, in part, by Haute Living Media Group. The night kicked into high gear from this point on as guests were escorted to the luxurious Restaurant Daniel courtesy of the good people at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars North America. Among Stoll’s guests were his wife, Nadia Bowers, as well as castmate David Breakers and theater director Kate Whorisky. Guests were greeted with glasses of champagne. Ahead of the magical dinner, Dennis made sure to explain how each course was inspired by a particular Vacheron Constantin collection, much to the delight of the guests. Haute Media Group co-founder Seth Semilof capped the night by delivering a few kind words and thanking Stoll yet again for being an exemplary Haute Living cover star.
