FOURTH-GENERATION CIPRIANI FAMILY MEMBER MAGGIO CIPRIANI TALKS SOCIALISTA’S LATEST EXPANSION TO MIAMI AND WHAT COMES NEXT IN THE FAMILY’S EVER-EXPANDING HOSPITALITY EMPIRE. BY PAIGE MASTRANDREA PHOTOGRAPHY NAVID SHOT ON LOCATION AT SOCIALISTA MIAMI
@hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 15
he Cipriani name has become one of the most globally recognized brands since its inception in 1931, as well as one of the most prestigious. Boasting restaurants, lounges and hotels throughout the world’s most-coveted destinations including New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Venice, Monte Carlo, Ibiza, Mexico City, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, Hong Kong and Punta del Este—the legacy created by Giuseppe Cipriani and carried out throughout his family is stronger than ever, thanks to fourth-generation Cipriani brothers Maggio and Ignazio. While luxury, world-class dining and unparalleled service all come to mind when seeing the Cipriani brand’s iconic logo, most recently, Maggio and his brother have been adding a new element of exclusivity and enticement to the family empire, particularly with its hip Socialista lounge—which instantly became a hot spot after making its debut in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, followed by London and Dubai. Inside Socialista, you will find the same level of the impeccable Cipriani DNA, but guests will also enjoy a more sexy and romantic counterpart, complete with vibrant décor inspired by Havana, Cuba; lounge-style seating; dim lighting; live music; and an always-glamorous crowd of guests. During the highly anticipated Art Basel Miami Beach, Maggio debuted the brand’s newest concept underneath its Cipriani Downtown restaurant, Socialista Miami, to high praise and an A-list crowd of attendees. The guest list ranged from business titans like Michael Cayre, Andres Fanjul, Ariel Nakash and Ugo Colombo; to celebrities including Travis Scott, Bella Hadid, Bad Bunny, Joan Smalls, Nina Dobrev and Kourtney Kardashian; as well as artists Daniel Arsham, Domingo Zapata and more. In light of Miami’s most talked-about opening, we sat down with Maggio Cipriani to learn more about Socialista’s global expansion, why the Miami location and market is special, how he continues to expand while maintaining the brand’s signature consistency at each of its locations and what guests can look forward to sipping and munching on at the hot spot—of course, aside from its iconic pink cocktail, the Cipriani Bellini.

Haute Living: You recently debuted Socialista Miami during Art Basel to much success. How is Socialista Miami unique to other venues in the Miami market, as well as in comparison to its New York, London and Dubai counterparts? Maggio Cipriani: Socialista is a warm, welcoming lounge where guests can also enjoy great live music. It is a space that allows you to have a conversation with a friend, which is a luxury that is almost impossible at most venues. The various Socialista locations around the world all have their individual personality, but also all share the colorful décor and eclectic furniture inspired by Old Havana in the ’50s. In the specific Miami location, we decided to include a Chinese bar to add to the variety of cultural flavors that enriched Cuba. The space extends to the outdoors into a cozy, beautiful terrace. HL: Tell us about the process of transforming the space underneath your Cipriani Downtown restaurant to Socialista. What were some of the challenges? MC: The biggest challenge was probably to find a way to create intimate corners and areas within such an expansive layout. The new design works well for the nights when Socialista is open to the public, and it gives us more flexibility to accommodate celebrations and private events. HL: What are some of the key design aspects of Socialista Miami that represent the brand, but also highlight a Miami element? MC: Rich and colorful Chinese rugs, lush tropical accents, closed signature shutters, velvet accents and French antiques are some of the common elements that all refer to the Cuban culture. HL: Your opening night drew in some of the biggest names in town for Art Basel week. What was that like? MC: We invited some friends and family, including some people in town for the Art Basel fair who know us from New York or Europe. Everything was very organic, and we were honored to have many familiar faces with us. HL: How does Socialista Miami complement its upstairs counterpart at Cipriani? MC: While they are two separate brands—and access to Socialista is always at the discretion of the door—we think that it can work well, both as an extension of the restaurant and as a destination on its own. It gives you a relaxed ambience when you are not ready to end the night and you feel like enjoying good music and great drinks with friends. HL: Why did you choose Miami as the next place to expand this concept? MC: We had the perfect space below our Cipriani Downtown restaurant in Brickell, and Socialista Miami was a natural destination for our local and traveling clientele.
HL: As someone with deep experience opening up hospitality venues in all of the world’s most-coveted destinations, what do you find unique about the Miami market? MC: There is a joyful aspect about the life in Miami partially influenced by the favorable weather and the mix of Latin and international cultures and a growing offer as far as entertainment, hospitality and art. HL: What do you feel is the greatest key for success in Miami? MC: Providing great and consistent service has always been key for my family for four generations. HL: What is your go-to cocktail at Socialista Miami? MC: Our signature Socialista Mule—a combination of spiced rum, lime juice, ginger beer and fresh mint. HL: Favorite menu items? MC: The selection of empanadas, the ceviche mixto and the panna cotta with dulce de leche for dessert.
HL: What other markets are next for you? MC: We already have a project in Milan we are working on, and perhaps more European cities to come.
HL: What else can we look out for in 2020 from the Cipriani/ Socialista brands? MC: Among the other projects, 2020 will see us focus on the opening of our Casa Cipriani luxury hotel at the iconic 1906 Beaux-Arts Battery Maritime Building in Manhattan. This will also house our first exclusive private-membership club with over 15,000 square feet of fitness and wellness and 30,000 square feet of dining, entertainment, social areas and terraces—all designed by renowned architect Thierry Despont.
HL: What do you feel is the most crucial element of expanding while maintaining your brand? MC: Being truthful to the values you believe in.
Socialista Miami is located at 475 Brickell Ave., Miami, Fla., open from Tuesday-Saturday 8 p.m.-2 a.m. For reservations, please e-mail mia@ socialistalounge.com or call 786-329-4094. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 21

EDUCATE, INNOVATE + HEADING BACK TO SCHOOL IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT
as Miami’s avid philanthropist and successful entrepreneur Shareef Malnik returns to his alma mater at the University of Miami—this time, to the Miami Herbert Business School’s Miami Global Executive MBA program. While from the outside, it may look like the last thing that Malnik needs is to go back to school—he already has two degrees from UM under his belt—and some may not fathom how he could possibly make the time for it. In between running two businesses, he serves as the Chairman Emeritus of Make-A-Wish Southern Florida. But if you know Malnik, it’s easy to understand how—he never accepts what’s easy, and rather, continues to push himself to work harder, learn more and accomplish the impossible. “I have a motto that if it’s humanly possible, I know I can do it. And there’s a lot more that’s possible than we think,” Malnik shares as we chat outside the University’s Business School. At the time, he’s in his 16th month out of the 17-month program, just one month away from receiving his degree. At the time of graduation, Shareef was chosen by his cohort as the Student Leadership award winner. Looking back on the experience, he beams with pride and appreciation for what he has learned and how he has handled the challenge. “If you’re looking for a program that’s going to change your life and your business life, and that’s going to take you to the next level so that you can actually apply what you learn to what you know and what you’re doing, this is the program for you,” he shares. “That’s why I’m doing it. I don’t need another degree. What I want to do is take my skills to the next level so that I’m not disrupted and become obsolete like so many other businesses and people in this world.” The latter point is key for Malnik and his newly invigorated drive to learn and experience more from others. “I really had to drop my ego to do this, and so many people told me, ‘Oh, you know everything.’ And I was like, ‘First of all, nobody knows everything.’ But look at the world we live in today,” he notes. “We live in a world of disruption. We live in a world where people become obsolete. Not only do you become obsolete because your business becomes obsolete, but you become an obsolete husband, friend, leader and so forth. You’re not going to learn this thing on the job. If you don’t take on new information and find out what’s happening today, you can’t compete at a high level. I have two degrees from the University of Miami, and I’m so glad that I graduated, but I achieved those degrees many years ago. The world has changed a lot since then.” So, how exactly does this program differ from other MBA programs? What makes it so unique? We chatted with Associate Professor of Operations and Supply Chain Management and Academic Director of the Miami Global Executive MBA program, Hari Natarajan, to find out more about the program and why someone like Malnik is the perfect candidate. “The program that Shareef is in is the flagship program at Miami Herbert Business School,” he explains. “It’s the Miami Global Executive MBA program. The goal of the program is really to provide a truly executive vantage to seasoned business leaders, owners and 22 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
corporate executives who have more than 10 years of experience. “Shareef is an excellent exemplar of the program,” Natarajan continues. “If you look at someone who’s been very successful in business and has, over the years, developed various ideas and tools to succeed in business, it’s a brave thing for them to come back and invest in themselves. Why do they do that? A lot of the times when you’re doing business, you’re so caught up in it that you don’t actually get the chance to think strategically about what you’re doing in the first place. What this does is take you out of the situation, put you in a different context, and says, ‘Can you actually rethink, reimagine what you’ve been doing?’ We expose you to new tools, new ideas and new frameworks so that you can reimagine your own business within these tools and frameworks and come up with innovative ways of thinking. It allows you to leverage the things you’re doing very well and fix the things that you’re not doing so well.” Every class within the program is team-taught, with the mission to deliver interdisciplinary, global cross-cultural leadership. Not only does it expose each student to invigorating lectures and Q&A discussions with varying, seasoned industry professionals who bring a new perspective to each topic, but it also brings together like-minded students who are each successful professionals in their own areas. Here, they experience the challenges and new ideas together, all the while learning from one another. “It’s a 17-month journey. It’s a story of brilliant professors with interesting backgrounds, many who consult for great companies around the globe. It’s also a story about your fellow students in your cohort with whom you will become very close and from whom you will also learn. It’s a journey that is a mosaic and a quilt of woven experiences, people, ideas, their stresses and accomplishments,” Malnik shares. The demographic of each student varies within the program, but each has one characteristic: They have leadership potential. “Either they’ve exhibited some form of leadership in their corporate career, or they are in a position to do great things,” Natarajan explains. “We want to invest in these people because our future is tied to their future. We’re looking for people who bring 10-12 years of experience, who have grown their corporate ladder or have businesses of their own and want to upscale. The key thing is this emphasis on learning. We want you to be able to be open to new ideas, receive them and then leverage them to succeed in your own business.” Whether you’re feeling stagnant in your career or craving a deep desire to do more and learn more, the Miami Global Executive MBA helps its students thrive in areas where they have already succeeded, and do better in the areas where there’s room for improvement, including creating life-changing relationships and new ways of thinking for the future. “Perhaps one of the greatest gifts I received from the program is the fact that I learned how much more I can accomplish by restructuring and reprioritizing my life and way of thinking,” Malnik shares. “This enabled me to thrive in this 17-month program while operating two businesses and serving Make-A-Wish in a leadership role simultaneously. To be a great leader, you must look inside and change yourself, and this program can give you the tools to accomplish that.”

Through his Spring-Summer 2020 collection designs, Nicolas Ghesquière transports us back into another world—a world of jubilation, optimism and of course, flourishing beauty. A romantic, almost dream-like state is prominently featured in the pieces, further emphasized by the addition of the delicate cattleya orchids, all of which represent the splendor of the Belle Époque era, marking a new time of celebration in France. The Peter Marino-designed Raleigh Garden, where our protagonist also explores a new, fairytalelike world, is reflective of this time, where the beauty of nature, innovation and design unite, while the space itself is a place for community to come together, as those during the Belle Époque did, as well.

WHERE MASTERY & ARTISTRY MEET With his Spring/Summer 2020 Women’s collection for Louis Vuitton, Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière brings the celebrated Belle Époque era to life. The 43-year long period in French history was characterized by the idea of optimism, following the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. This hopeful outlook adopted by the French as a whole resulted in a flourishing output of creativity and culture that spanned across the arts as a whole. A celebration of the splendors of life, the romanticism and refinement of the era is clearly reflected in Ghesquière’s collection, with elements like the cattleya orchid worn on the lapel, and the vibrant colors, full of zest and excitement. Though the finished product tells such a decorated tale in itself, the richest part of the . The dedicated Louis Vuitton artisans that construct each and every detail with nothing less than story lies in the architecture of the piece, in its an expert level of craftsmanship, passed down with over 160 years of experience and excellence, are the real narrators of the stories.

reputation to uphold. It has become a tradition for the brand to introduce a significant number of new models twice a year, in addition to the many special and limited editions that it launches during the year, as well. At the first edition of LVMH Watch Week in Dubai, it continued to uphold this tradition. Hublot started the event off with a Big Bang. Fifteen years after this visionary model was introduced, it now gets a fully integrated bracelet. To do so, Hublot had to change the way that the case was designed so it seamlessly goes over into the bracelet. The design of the bracelet is inspired by the chronograph pushers of the first Big Bang. The bracelet consists of a large central link, flanked by two smaller ones. This gives it the kind of rigidness and sturdiness that is expected from a sports watch, just as the chronograph pushers show the links of the bracelet’s chamfered edges and alternates between a polished and a satin finish. The Spirit of Big Bang also played another major role. The Meca-10 movement, with its impressive power reserve of 10 days, has been reworked by Hublot so that it is a perfect fit for the tonneau shape of this watch. Available in black ceramic, King Gold and titanium, it perfectly showcases its high-tech movement in its attractive case. The watch achieves its 10-day power reserve thanks to two mainspring barrels and shows the current power reserve thanks to a unique rack and pinion indicator. The Meca-10 wasn’t the only exciting new Spirit of Big Bang at LVMH Watch Week. Hublot also gave the 42mm chronograph and 39mm time-only a rainbow treatment. Utilizing the most 48 HAUTE LIVING hautetime.com
tantalizing colors that Mother Nature has to offer, the brand sets these gemstones in cases of King Gold. This results in an attentiongrabbing creation, for which Hublot used brilliant-cut gems for the cases and dials. However, the best part is the bezel, which is where baguette-cut stones make the rainbow seamlessly come to life. Another one of Hublot’s mechanical masterpieces is now also available with a red ceramic case. The Big Bang MP-11 most certainly looks attractive in this new color, which gives it a very dynamic appearance. It is fitted with a black rubber strap and black finish on the movement to offset the case, while the hands and hour markers bring unity as Hublot also crafted those in red. The watch has an impressive 14-day power reserve that it gets from seven mainspring barrels, which are coupled in a series and show the current power reserve on a display roll next to it. Hublot has declared that blue is the new black as it introduced new limited editions in the highly successful Sang Bleu collection. It is a watch where geometric patterns rule supreme, but it is not form that dominates function. The chronograph features are still surprisingly easy to read, and the blue combines stunningly with the titanium or King Gold cases. Can a watch made from ceramic be the perfect showcase for gold? Hublot proves that this can indeed be the case with the Classic Fusion Gold Crystal. This all-black watch has a dial on which gold crystals get all the room to show their natural beauty. To achieve this, Hublot heats 24-carat gold to its melting point and then lets it crystallize, creating a crystal structure that is unique with each watch.

Zenith Defy 21 Carl Cox Edition
FOR ZENITH, THE LVMH WATCH WEEK WAS ALL ABOUT re-establishing itself firmly into the market for ladies’
watches with the Defy Midnight. With this new creation, Zenith finds the perfect balance between elegance and sportiness. The watch features a 36mm stainless-steel case with either a plain bezel or one set with diamonds. These precious gemstones can also be found as hour markers on the stunning dial, which is a real eye-catcher. Zenith also gave the watch a vertical gradient effect with a glossy finish. It is available in either gray or deep blue, and it is like staring into the night sky. This is all the more interesting because it puts the Zenith logo in its natural place. The Zenith star is accompanied by other stars that glow in the night to complete the image of a celestial sky. There is also a third version available, in which Zenith applied the gradient effect in mother of pearl, mirroring the look of clouds in the sky. The Defy Midnight also features an innovative system in which the bracelet can be switched to one of the watch’s three straps in seconds. However, there were equally exciting alternate watches shown by the brand as well. With the Defy 21 Land Rover Edition, Zenith is not just launching another watch in partnership with this iconic British brand, it also pays tribute to the brand’s legendary Defender. It does so with a utilitarian look, as the case is made from a matte gray ceramic, along with a businesslike dial. That doesn’t mean that the Defy 21 Land Rover Edition is not fun—on the contrary. While it may be understated in its appearance, it has a significant wow factor when it’s on the wrist. The same can be said of the Defy 21 that Zenith developed with Carl Cox. The DJ and producer is a living legend in the world of techno music, and his watch also lives up to this reputation. The running seconds disc is shaped like a record, but the coolest part is the case and the strap. Zenith infused the carbon fiber of the case with a substance that makes it glow in the dark. The stitching of the strap glows in the dark, as well. This results in a spectacular light show at night. A blast from the past is the new El Primero A384 Revival, which Zenith made much like its 1969 predecessor. It is very similar to the original, offering a vintage vibe with a modern watch. It even remade the Gay Frères ladder bracelet, which gives the watch even more character. Back in the day, Gay Frères was one of the most renowned bracelet makers in the Swiss watch industry, but it was eventually bought by Rolex. The recreation of this bracelet by Zenith is the cherry on top for this very cool watch. Zenith also introduced two new Pilot Type 20 watches, both with a new stainless-steel case. This is another one of Zenith’s designs that continues to prove its staying power, since this model is still as attractive now as when it was first introduced. A great novelty for this model is that the straps are now easily interchangeable, allowing the wearer to match the look of the Pilot Type 20 watch to his or her outfit. Zenith’s Elite collection is also further expanded with a beautiful Classic model, which has a dial with a stunning sunray pattern. This is also present in the new Elite Moonphase. Both models are available in stainless steel and rose gold. Zenith offers them in either 36mm or 40.5mm, yet keeps them unisex, allowing either size to be picked by anyone.

+BVLGARI MAKES A
DAZZLING ENTRANCE A new tourbillon made its debut for Bulgari and the brand also expanded its Octo Finissimo line. BY MARTIN GREEN
BVLGARI EXPANDED THE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL OCTO
Finissimo collection further at LVMH Watch Week, which was held at the Bulgari resort in Dubai. Some interesting new varieties will now be available, making this watch more appealing than ever. While titanium is the brand’s usual material, it is also stunning in traditional stainless steel. Bulgari already introduced this option in 2018, but it is now available with an attractive black dial. This gives the watch a more traditional sports-watch look, which suits the Octo Finissimo perfectly. The stainless steel features a nice alternation between polished and satin-finished surfaces, which cleverly highlight the unique design of this watch. For those who liked the black ceramic Octo Finissimo that Bulgari introduced last year, but prefer a polished finish over a matte one, there is now a new version of the watch offering just that. While essentially the same watch, the finish makes all the difference. The only thing that is different from its sibling is the color of the hands and hour markers. The matte goldtone version strikes a perfect balance with the polished black ceramic of the case and bracelet.
Two new Bulgari gold watches will also hit the market soon, most notably the Octo Finissimo Automatic with a black dial and alligator leather strap. Its rose-gold case features polished and satin-brushed surfaces that makes the watch look dynamic and the color of the gold come alive. For its new minute repeater in the Octo Finissimo collection, Bulgari went a different route and opted to sandblast its rose-gold case. Despite being crafted from precious metal, this gives the watch a very technical appearance, which is matched by its boundarypushing ultra-thin movement. Bulgari is also offering a new tourbillon for women. For the Serpenti Seduttori, it has developed a movement that fits precisely into its unique case shape. It is equipped with a tourbillon located at the six o’clock position. It turns one of the most elegant ladies’ watches into a mechanical dream. While it looks like a flying tourbillon, it is not— there is a top bridge, though it remains unseen, since it is made from sapphire crystal. In the future, it will be interesting if this is also applied to other tourbillons with a traditional bridge setup. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 53

KERR ON KORA A one-on-one interview with supermodel Miranda Kerr on her self-owned and self-funded certified organic skincare line, KORA Organics.
DM: Why was it important for you to get involved in the skincare space, especially when the market is saturated with so many different lines and celebrity endorsements? MK: I created KORA Organics over 10 years ago. It was initially just in Australia until we started to expand internationally in 2017. I got into the organic skincare space because I was looking for products that were certified organic and delivered results, but I was unable to find anything that really worked; so, I decided to create my own range. It’s important to note that I’m not just the face of KORA Organics—it’s owned and self-funded by me. I’m across all [of the] the day-to-day operations from product development, marketing, packaging…etc. It’s my vision, my passion… my life! I knew I wanted the range to be certified organic—this is something I feel very passionate about because what you put on your skin soaks into your bloodstream. Using certified organic ingredients naturally creates more powerful skincare because certified organic ingredients contain higher antioxidant levels; therefore, they produce more potent and powerful results than non-organic skincare, or even “clean” skincare for that matter. Certified organic is also “clean” but even more powerful because of the high antioxidant levels in the organic ingredients used. Initially I was just passionate about creating the products I wanted to use myself, and it grew from there. It all started from a very 66 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty
authentic place but once I had created KORA Organics—I worked for two years on the research and development—and I saw firsthand the results the products were achieving. I wanted to share them with the world because back then in 2009 there were very few natural and organic brands readily available and I thought if I’m looking for these products, the likelihood is that so are many other people. DM: How is KORA Organics different from other organic skincare lines on the market? MK: KORA Organics is certified by the world’s leading international certification body ECOCERT Greenlife (founding member of COSMOSstandard AISBL), which is the most heavily regulated ingredient system and guarantees no toxic and synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals are used in production of ingredients or in manufacturing. There is a lot of greenwashing out there in the beauty industry because it is unregulated. Brands can claim to be natural or organic by just having one or two natural or organic ingredients. Having the certification gives our brand integrity. Our customers have the assurance that they are getting exactly what they are paying for: honest, healthy, non- toxic, certified organic products that deliver visible results. We work with the best organic chemists in the world and are thrilled to be the only fully certified organic brand Sephora carries. There are three other key points that sets KORA Organics apart from other skincare lines: 1. Noni is the key ingredient and used in every product throughout the range. It’s a super fruit that my grandmother introduced to me when I was 13 years old and I’ve been using it daily ever since. It contains over 100 vitamins and minerals—I really feel it’s been the key to my health & vitality over the years. 2. I added the unique vibrations of Rose Quartz to all of the products because I personally believe in the healing and protective powers of crystals. Rose Quartz carries a soothing energy to encourage love and acceptance of ourselves and others. During the compounding process of our skincare products, the entire formula is touched upon by Rose Quartz, so the vibration of self-love flows through the crystals, into the products and onto our customers.

Deyvanshi Masrani: Tell me about the KORA Organics Skincare line, in your own words. Miranda Kerr: KORA Organics products are toxin-free, cruelty-free and formulated with highly-active, certified organic ingredients that deliver powerful results. I really believe that healthy skin is the most beautiful skin; so, you need to feed with the right antioxidants and nutrients to be healthy, glowing and radiant…not with chemical laden products that deliver temporary results and can be harmful for your health. KORA Organics has helped people realize that organic products can deliver incredibly powerful results. We receive testimonials from around the world on a daily basis about how our products are making a difference to people’s skin, health and confidence and our consumer study results speak for themselves. Being at the forefront of the global clean beauty movement is an achievement I’m very proud of. My dream is for KORA Organics to become a household name and for people to choose a healthier alternative both for themselves and for the environment.
Haute 3. Because I believe positive thoughts create positive energy vibrations within the body, we have adopted the principles of Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work by applying positive words on the back of each of our products. Our intent in doing this is that the vibrational energy of the word has a positive effect on the user and can inspire positivity. Our products are not only healthy to use and of the highest quality, integrity and efficacy—they also aim to inspire and uplift customers. DM: What products do you use from KORA Organics to maintain such healthy, clear and radiant skin? MK: I use KORA Organics on myself and my entire family. My husband loves the products, especially the Turmeric Brightening & Exfoliating Mask and Noni Glow Face Oil. I use the Body Wash, Body Lotion and Body Balm and Face Balm on my three sons. I like to keep my skincare routine simple and clean. In the morning I use the KORA Organics Foaming Cleanser; it’s a soap-free cleanser containing Noni Extract, Green Tea and Aloe to gently cleanse without drying or stripping the skin of its natural oils. After cleansing I use the Energizing Citrus Mist to tone my skin and then I apply the Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum, which brightens your skin, and helps with
BEAUTY
pigmentation, before applying the Noni Radiant Eye Oil. Then I add a few drops of Noni Glow Face Oil to a few pumps of the Hydrating Moisturizer and apply over my face, neck and décolletage. In the evenings I double cleanse using the Cream Cleanser—it’s very nourishing and soothing on the skin as it contains Aloe Vera, Avocado and Macadamia Nut Oil. I swap out the Energising Mist for the Calming Lavender Mist (I also spritz this on my pillow before going to sleep), apply 1-2 pumps of the Noni Night AHA Serum and then follow with the remainder of my routine (Noni Radiant Eye Oil, Noni Glow Face Oil and Hydrating Cream). DM: If you had to choose only one product from your KORA Organics skincare line to recommend to someone who has never used the products before, which one would it be and why? MK: It would have the be two…they go hand in hand and really transform your skin. The Exfoliating & Brightening 2:1 Turmeric Mask—I’m obsessed with exfoliating and face masks…the peppermint aromatherapy is so invigorating and uplifting, especially in the mornings! And the Noni Glow Face Oil—our signature product…to smooth, nourish, hydrate and brighten your skin. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 67

Pain
Management That Won’t Get on Your Nerves Spine Center at The Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute, located in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is a board-certified physiatrist and is fellowship-trained in interventional spine and sports medicine. Dr. Giuffrida is at the forefront of significant advancements in the management of pain. According to Dr. Giuffrida, spinal cord stimulator (SCS) systems have been around for some time now, but with the evolution of medical technology, each SCS is now smaller with many more capabilities. Medtronic, the specific brand that Dr. Giuffrida uses for spinal cord stimulation, is the only brand that allows patients with the implanted device to continue to get MRIs. An additional benefit to the new technology is the interface system, which has Bluetooth capabilities that allow Dr. Giuffrida to observe from a tablet to see how a patient is using the SCS, and then he can adjust programs accordingly to provide better relief. Dr. Giuffrida sat down with Haute MD to answer some of the most common questions he’s asked regarding spinal cord stimulation therapy.
they [are doing] before we totally implant the SCS. The patient keeps a diary for about five to seven days documenting what’s better and what isn’t better with their pain. Then, if the patient does well, we go back, take those leads out and we implant the new leads, and we implant a battery under the skin. One of the things I say about the simulators is that it’s the only procedure that you can [do a] trial first before you end up getting the permanent device. The battery is about the size of a large watch head. It goes underneath your skin, in your right or left flank, in between your hip bone in your ribs, and the leads themselves are very thin, tiny wires. Patients say the new batteries are not too intrusive. We put it into the epidural space, which is just posterior to the spinal cord, and the stimulation penetrates into the spinal cord on what’s called the dorsal column or the posterior aspect of the spinal cord, which is where a lot of our pain signals originate. The SCS blocks pain signals from below wherever we place the lead.
Haute MD: Who can benefit from SCS? Dr. Giuffrida: Most patients that have a SCS have already had lumbar back surgery, but are still experiencing significant pain. Instead of going back to the operating room for a new surgery or fixing the previous surgery, we use a spinal cord stimulator above the level where the surgery was performed, and it shuts off pain from the surgery and pain going down the legs. When back surgery fails to properly treat pain, we call this post-laminectomy syndrome. SCS helps treat this condition. The other group of patients that benefits from SCS is patients that have CRPS, which is complex regional pain syndrome. This is when patients experience fire-like pain in their arms, hands, legs or feet. CRPS is generally from a previous nerve injury. For example, if someone broke their ankle and still experiences pain after the ankle heals, the patient is believed to have nerve pain. To treat the pain, we will use a SCS to help shut off the hyperactivity from the nerve. SCS can also help patients that aren’t able to undergo a full-fledged major back surgery. If there is a spinal deformity, such as scoliosis or a slipped disc, the deformity generally needs to be fixed first for the stimulator to provide the best outcome.
HMD: Is this new technology? DG: Spinal cord stimulation therapy has been used for many years. With new advancements, we are finally really honing in on it and figuring out the technology and are now able provide the best outcomes and relief for our patients. What’s changed is the computer system that programs the code to run the type of stimulation. All the research now is looking at the type of simulation. The other advancement is the size of the battery. The battery used to be massive—and intrusive. If you think about cell phone batteries 20 years ago and how big they were, that’s what would have been implanted in your back. Now, the battery is much smaller, the stimulation works better and the charges last longer. That’s why we’re seeing an uptick in the number of patients that are benefiting from SCS. The nice thing now [is] the new SCS batteries are also computers. I’ve been calling them batteries, but it’s also basically a computer inside, which we can update through Bluetooth technology. We are able to monitor when a patient’s using the SCS, when they’re not using it, plus what kind of frequencies they‘re using. The new technology allows us to see which program they really need.
HMD: What is the procedure like? DG: We perform the SCS in an outpatient procedure facility in the office where we implant the leads [wires] of the stimulator. The battery actually sits outside the patient’s body under tape and sterile dressing for about a week. The nice thing about this is the patient can tell me how
HMD: Is this a long-term solution to chronic nerve pain? DG: Yes, the batteries last nine years. Some of the batteries last even longer, and if it’s still working and the battery just dies, all we do is another procedure where we take the battery out, replace it with a new one and hook it up to the leads that are already there.

BEAUTY A one-on-one interview with celebrity beauty guru and Creative/Image Director of Christian Dior Makeup, Peter Philips, backstage at the Dior Men Fall 2020 show from Kim Jones in Miami. BY DEYVANSHI MASRANI
DM: What about the lips? PP: Just scrubbing the lips to get rid of the dead skin and using the Dior Lip Maximizer to hydrate. The boys love it because when they first use it, they’re not used to it and then it tingles, so they ask for more. It actually plumps the lips but they don’t care! [Laughs] DM: Any differences between doing women’s and men’s makeup? PP: Basically it’s the same. You want clean skin… but [with men] it’s a bit more basic. For girls, you use a toner, more foundation, a little more sculpting and highlighting; it’s more of a routine. With the boys, it’s a little more basic, almost like it’s more flat. You need to make sure they have the right skin tone, not using contouring or highlights, but basically it’s the same.

THE DIOR MEN FALL 2020 SHOW BY KIM JONES WAS ONE OF THE
most epic men’s fashion shows ever to hit the runway, also marking the first time that the House has ever showed in Miami. Taking place in the Wynwood Arts District, opposite the famed Rubell Museum, the room was filled with stars, from David Beckham, Kim Kardashian West, Kourtney Kardashian, Maluma, Kate Moss, Bella Hadid, Travis Scott, and so many more. Though the collection (and the Shawn Stussy-designed graffiti-style reinterpretation of the Dior name) was the focal point of the evening, the looks would not have been complete with the beauty look to perfectly complement and highlight each of them. Who else could be behind such an iconic and distinctive interpretation of the futuristic-meets-tropical aesthetic of the collection, other than Creative and Image Director of Christian Dior Makeup/celebrity beauty guru, Peter Philips. Ahead of the doors opening to the show, I went backstage to catch up and chat with Peter Philips about his inspiration behind the beauty look and collaborating with Kim Jones. Deyvanshi Masrani: Can you explain a little bit about the beauty look you created on the models for this Dior Men Fall 2020 collection show? Peter Philips: The boys here for the show get basic grooming—clean skin, natural looking—and then on about 13 boys, I think, we have a Daryl Hannah/Blade Runner-inspired airbrushed lime green/yellow green/ fluorescent green stripe. That’s for the boys that mainly wear the Bucket Hats. DM: Where did the inspiration for this look come from? PP: The inspiration [for this look] actually came from when Kim [Jones] showed me the collection about a month ago. The first impression I had— especially when I saw the Bucket Hats with flowers and things like that— was to maybe do something like a cyber surfer look with airbrushed, graffiti-like pastels, kind of like Daryl Hannah with a twist. Then I saw the set design of the show with that chemical green [color], so I thought it would be nice to have that color in a shadow, but make it pop more.
DM: What products did you use to achieve this look? PP: I use the Men’s Skincare line—after they’ve shaved, if needed—to hydrate, then I use the primer [Dior Backstage Face & Body Primer] under the base; then the face and body foundation [Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation] with the same skin tone—nothing darker or lighter—and then no mascara. For the stripe, it was a bit of a layering routine. I use Derma Shield to seal between the foundation/skin and the [colored] airbrush paint. I use the Temptu to spray it on and then I sealed it on—they can dive in the ocean with it and it won’t move. DM: Did Miami inspire any of the beauty looks? PP: Yes, it did! The cyber surf [aesthetic] is very Miami. I would not create this look somewhere in New York, or somewhere like that…The looks have some very interesting combinations, like shorts with a trench [coat] and a Bucket Hat with flowers, and of course, that stripe. It’s a very rich collection; the graphic came from that. Miami is about color. DM: What are your favorite parts of the collaborative process with Kim Jones? PP: Working with Kim is always a pleasure. I’ve been working with Kim for a very long time; I’ve been working with him when he was at Dunhill, when he was at [Louis] Vuitton…I think I’ve worked with him for 20 years! I even worked with him when he was a stylist for Dazed and Confused. So, it’s a very good collaboration. It’s easy because he is open for suggestions. I compare it a lot to when I used to work with Karl Lagerfeld; he’s very ‘okay.’ [Karl] was always very open to suggestions and Kim is the same way. It’s a matter of trust; we’ve known each other for years. He knows I won’t transform his show into a makeup show and I can always add value without trying to take over or without being ‘wrong.’ Also, when it’s not needed, I don’t take it personally. It’s that kind of a relationship—it’s trust. His collections are also very inspiring with his English twist; even if it’s colorful, it has a dark and ironic side to it, it’s great. I love working with him. We’re already talking about the [next show]. We’re going to do an amazing show! @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 69

WHERE HERITAGE MEETS
INNOVATION
ALWAYS AT THE FOREFRONT OF ART AND INNOVATION, FENDI
has partnered with Zurich-based design studio Kueng Caputo to bring its style and inspirations to the outdoor colonnade of the House’s iconic headquarters, the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, in Rome. The design duo who make up Kueng Caputo—Sarah Kueng and Lovis Caputo—called their collection for the space Roman Molds, combining a contemporary outlook with the House’s heritage, which it maintains across all its creations and collaborations. Kueng Caputo’s extensive research on the history of FENDI— from its inception through to Silvia Venturini Fendi’s vision for it today—led to the perfect marriage of their design style and the House’s DNA, resulting in a fresh iteration and perspective of the Roman Luxury House. For instance, FENDI’s signature and supple Selleria Roman leather is combined with terracotta brick, drawing inspiration from a fur technique that FENDI implemented in the 1950s, where it combined grosgrain and velvet ribbons with fur. The unique combination of the soft and hard results in a sturdier, more substantial material that is carved into shapes and silhouettes inspired by the manner in which a garment pattern may be cut, rather than the more traditional cutting techniques used in brick 78 HAUTE LIVING hauteresidence.com
construction. The signature Palazzo della Civiltà arches are also represented in several furniture pieces via the way in which the bricks are cut, and finished with specially-developed ceramic glazes that help the Selleria leathers in signature FENDI colors like FENDI Giallo (or yellow), pink, oranges and red, pop against each other, reflecting the recognizable color-blocking aesthetic that FENDI frequently utilizes. The ten-piece Roman Molds collection at the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana creates an interactive and engaging space for its visitors, inviting them to utilize the varied furniture choices like the tête-à-tête bench with green-and-blue leather arches; the FENDI Yellow-topped long table accented with upturned arches; and the vibrant pink “bow” table with its arched base and “hidden” orange interior coloring, playfully mirroring the customized canvas Peekaboo bag. Overall, Roman Molds is a redefinition of luxury, calling upon the rich heritage of the Roman Luxury House that is FENDI and fusing it with the contemporary vision of Kueng Caputo, exploring a completely new way of playing with innovation and creative expression, both of which FENDI is best known for.

KON(MARI)
A one-on-one interview with Marie Kondo, who discusses her KonMari lifestyle brand and Season 2 of her hit Netflix show, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. BY ANDRES E. CACERES
HL: What is special about the KonMari lifestyle brand? MK: KonMari is a lifestyle brand with a suite of products, services and content designed to help organize your home and bring joy to your life. We’re also a platform for connecting and supporting one another on our tidying journeys—which is very powerful. Everything we do is centered around the concept of sparking joy, and I think that’s what makes us special. 80 HAUTE LIVING hauteresidence.com
HL: How does growing your Certified Consultant network across so many countries’ borders feel? MK: Right now, we have over 350 certified KonMari Consultants in 40 countries—with a waitlist of thousands to join the program. The continued growth and success of such a personal offering is humbling. I’m still amazed at how many people find a sense of purpose in this work! HL: People are using your name as a verb to describe how they declutter, saying phrases like, “I just Kondo’d my place.” Did you ever think this could be possible? MK: No! I never imagined this would happen. I’m still surprised—and my family is, too! Kondo is a fairly common last name in Japan—it’s like Smith in the U.S. I’ve heard of other Kondos from Japan being asked if they’re good at tidying when they travel abroad. HL: When you were a professional tidying consultant, what was the longest time that you consulted a home? Why? MK: Two years. My client was a very busy doctor who ran her own clinic, and we could only meet once a month. She lived in a very large threestory house, and she owned a lot of stuff. By the end of our time together, her house has transformed—it was a completely different home. HL: Your fans want to know, do you have any news on Season 2 of Tidying Up with Marie Kondo? MK: I’m excited to report that Season 2 is in development—stay tuned!

lifestyle brand KonMari, wife and mother Marie Kondo had a busy 2019. Tidying Up with Marie Kondo burst onto the scene through the streaming service and popularized even more the key question that Kondo asks her clients looking to declutter their homes: Does an item spark joy? Her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up had already flown off the shelves by the time the show premiered in early 2019, in which singles, couples and families implemented The KonMari Method™. As Kondo says on her website, “The KonMari Method encourages keeping only those things that speak to the heart. Discard items that have outlived their purpose; thank them for their service—then let them go.” From North America to Europe and all the way to Asia, Kondo has grown a network of Certified Consultants that implement the KonMari Method™ to help thousands of people in tidying their home. Kondo kindly joined us for a Q&A.

GETAWAYS OF +WINTER THE RICH & FAMOUS Where the jet set heads for a much-needed escape from the cold, snow and sleet. BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
IF WINTER IS GETTING YOU DOWN, AND YOU CAN’T POSSIBLY STAND THE THOUGHT of another gray and dreary day, then it’s time to plan a sweet, sunshine-dappled escape.
When we want to beat the winter blues, we head to the tropics for a dose of fun in the sun. Here are some great, luxurious options for a winter getaway, where you can break free from the winter blues and break in your expensive new bathing suit.
THE GALAPAGOS PIKAIA LODGE For those looking for an au naturel winter getaway, head to the Galapagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago off the coast of Ecuador. Balmy temperatures aside, the area is a wonderland for eco-warriors: The Galapagos and its surrounding marine reserve PHOTO COURTESY OF PIKAIA LODGE
are UNESCO Natural World Heritage sites. The latter is listed as one of seven Underwater Wonders of the World and has the second-largest protected marine reserve, after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Get your luxury fix at one of 14 rooms at the fivestar Pikaia Lodge on Santa Cruz Island, in the heart of a private, wild giant tortoise reserve. Because the Galapagos Islands famously inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, evolution is the theme of this high-end hotel. Guests will find a tech-friendly conference room in the Homo Sapiens Explorers Lounge, a library dedicated to topics of science, evolution and the islands themselves, as well as its Evolution restaurant and DNA Bar. Adventurous days of hiking, swimming, snorkeling and wildlife watching are also on offer, with some straight-up indulgences thrown in, such as champagne sunset journeys on the 100-foot Pikaia I Yacht and indigenous treatments at the Sumaq Spa, which uses ingredients from the Amazonian jungle. Sector El Camote a 100 m del Cerro Mesa, Santa Cruz, Galapagos, Ecuador 200105, Ecuador
Haute tip: Book Pikaia Lodge’s Pool Suite, which is nestled on a small plateau of a crater. This suite has panoramic floor-toceiling windows with access to a private plunge pool and a shaded terrace with breathtaking, unobstructed views of the ocean.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC SANCTUARY CAP CANA If a sanctuary away from the cold is what you seek, Sanctuary Cap Cana is a splendid option. The adults-only hotel reopened last year following a massive $45 million renovation of its suites, lobbies, restaurants and bars, as well as a refreshed spa and state-of-the-art fitness center. Wellness is an important theme here and is implemented from the moment you arrive in the resort’s lobby, which is adorned with a selenite-salt crystal chandelier to absorb negative energies, literally encouraging guests to leave their worries and anxieties at the door. The good vibes continue into the guest suites, the highlight of which is the Castle. Yes, you can literally stay in this Spanish-style royal abode—which includes exclusive and private suites, some facing a gorgeous garden, others facing the Caribbean Sea, and some of which have access to a private island (Castle Island Suite)—and all have a butler on call. The wellness theme continues in the Castle, particularly in its Island Suite, with three indoor plunge pools and a private island connected by personal moat. Boasting an array of wellness experiences, visitors can head into the Castle’s revamped Sanctuary Spa, where a new Zen garden, shower paths and hydrotherapeutic pools of cold, warm and hot baths, sauna, foot bath and thermal showers await. Guests can opt in for the guidance of a sophrologist at the spa, who encourages visitors toward holistic balance and mindfulness and helps them through the hydrotherapy circuit with gentle movements. You can also request the Alchemy Experience Workshop, in which you can smell and feel different natural essences and oils to activate emotional aromatherapy. How’s that for a relaxing stay?

Head to St. Barts, the playground of the rich and famous, and check out the island’s hottest new hotel, Barrière Le Carl Gustaf.
ST. BARTS HÔTEL BARRIÈRE LE CARL GUSTAF St. Barts is the well-known winter playground of choice for the rich and famous thanks to its upscale shopping, white-sand beaches and sparkling aquamarine waters of the Caribbean. While this tropical locale had been out of commission since 2017 when Hurricane Irma ravaged the island, tourism is back and stronger than ever. Embrace its recovery at the newly opened Hôtel Barrière Le Carl Gustaf, a hotel for those who make the trends instead of following them. It is the place for those in the know, as well as those wanting to get off the beaten path and discover the secret side of St. Barts. It also aims to be the place for those who don’t care about being seen—which means, most certainly, that it will attract a crowd that embodies ‘je ne sais quoi’ (and it doesn’t hurt that it is owned and operated by the same hotel group that runs storied hot spot Hôtel Barrière on Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes). Despite its bid at nonconformity, Hôtel Barrière Le Carl Gustaf will appeal to the jet set and those seeking a more quietly luxurious stay for the same reasons: It’s a tropical green oasis in the heart of Gustavia with postcard-perfect views of the yacht-filled port; its Spa Diane Barrière offers bespoke Biologique Recherche treatments and tailored massages; there is a state-of-the-art fitness center with a private Pilates studio; Fouquet’s, an offshoot of the Parisian restaurant of the same name from Michelin-starred Chef Pierre Gagnaire; and the famous Shellona. This beachside party spot with its international DJ sets is reminiscent of Scorpios Mykonos and Blue Marlin Ibiza is back on Shell Beach fully revamped with a brand-new, haute home at Le Carl Gustaf. Rue des Normands, Gustavia, St. Barthélemy
TURKS & CAICOS AMBERGRIS CAY famous Caicos Banks, with its cerulean waters and surrounding reefs so brilliant they can be seen from space, is Ambergris Cay, a new, private-island luxury resort that’s set to be a surefire hit among the jet set. This all-inclusive resort has it all: exclusivity, with only 10 beachfront suites; service, with 24-hour, on-call butlers; ease of travel, with its own private plane; and the ultimate indulgence—30-minute daily spa treatments for guests. Other unique offerings include complimentary power boats and free beginner-boating lessons, a golf cart to tool around the island, a complimentary deserted-island The all-inclusive Ambergris Cay is already one of the most private retreats in the Caribbean, but for an extra dollop of VIP, you can rent out the entire island.... for a hefty fee. 92 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

FRENCH POLYNESIA FOUR SEASONS RESORT BORA BORA If you’re looking for a stay that has the absolute best of everything—including, but not limited to, that much-needed winter sun—the fabulous Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora ticks every single box and then some. Its 108 overwater bungalow suites and seven beachfront villa estates—all designed with thatched roofs and decorated with indigenous artwork—are located in a vast coconut grove, replete with coconut palms and pandanus trees, dotted with meandering channels of turquoise water that lead to the property’s main beach and smaller lagoons. Eight of the bungalows are new—six of which feature infinity-edge plunge pools set on private decks, though all have been recently refreshed to reflect a more contemporary Polynesian feel with new furniture, lighting and technology, as well as solar panels. Each Four Seasons property strives to offer guests a taste of local culture, and this is especially true in Tahiti in a number of ways. Under the watchful eye of Executive Chef Eric Desbordes, four culinary concepts showcase island life through open-air dining, private oceanside dinners and Tahitian beach parties with musicians and fire dancers. A full-service spa—which has its own overwater suite—focuses on indigenous elements as well, including the tiare flower, which has been used for centuries to help Polynesians with their famously youthful looks, as well as black pearl powder. Typical tropical activities are offered here, as well as sportfishing for mahi-mahi and blue marlin, swimming with sea turtles at the Lagoonarium and shark feeding. Guests can also immerse themselves in the local culture by learning how to cultivate the Tahitian black pearl—one of the world’s rarest and most valuable gems—practicing the steps to locals dances including the aparima, the hivinau and the ote’a, hand-dyeing a Polynesian pareu, learning how the ancient Polynesians first developed the art of tattooing and speaking to a dedicated marine biologist at the resort’s Ruahatu (God of the Ocean) Lagoon Sanctuary to

North Island isn’t just a beautiful place, but an environmentally friendly one, too, thanks to its Noah’s Ark conservation and island rehabilitation program.
THE SEYCHELLES NORTH ISLAND Close your eyes and let yourself dream. If you see lush, tropical palm trees, giant granite peaks and pristine, untouched beaches behind your lids, then your destination should be North Island, a Luxury Collection retreat in the Seychelles. Accessible only via helicopter or private boat, this private island is a destination where the world can be left behind. Even the most glamorous of globe-trotters can let their hair down here, especially given that there are only 11 villas on the island (all of which use local materials to create this the ultimate exclusive retreat. The resort strives to offer guests “barefoot luxury,” and it succeeds thanks to a plethora of aquatic activities like snorkeling, diving, fishing, sunset cruises, kayaking, paddle boarding and surfing; fine dining from Michelin-starred Chef Akira Back; and its holistic wellness spa, with its foundation built on Ayurvedic principles. North Island offers an inimitable experience where footprints are the only evidence of civilization, and the rules are only the ones you make yourselves—including dress code, agenda and connectivity.

+PANDORA’S CAR The Mercedes-Benz VISION AVTR, the Future’s Future. BY ANDRES E. CACERES
THE MERCEDES-BENZ VISION AVTR IS THE ABSOLUTELY HEAD-
NO WHEEL, NO PROBLEM The Mercedes-Benz VISION AVTR does not have a wheel. Just like in the visionary movie, the rider is connected to the mode of transportation; here, by the multifunctional control element in the center console. The driver places a hand on the control unit, and the car recognizes him or her by the unique heartbeat and breathing. By lifting the hand, a menu appears on the palm of the hand, offering different functions. 98 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com
RECYCLABLE MATERIALS BATTERY Using no rare earths or metals, the materials in the VISION AVTR’s battery, comprised of graphene-based organic cell chemistry, are fully recyclable. “In addition to an exponentially high-energy density—compared to today’s battery systems with up to 1,200 Wh/liter—the technology also impresses with its exceptional fast-charging capability via automated, conductive-charging technology. This means that the battery will be fully recharging in less than 15 minutes,” says Markus Schäfer, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG. “With a capacity of around 110 kWh, the VISION AVTR enables an electric range of more than 700 kilometers.” MOVEMENT The car comes with 33 “bionic flaps” on the back, similar to those found on reptiles. Subtle gestures from the driver make the connection to the car even more impressive. The “crab movement,” made possible by the option to drive the VISION AVTR on front and rear axles in the same or opposite direction, allows the car to move sideways by about 30 degrees. SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS The seats in the VISION AVTR have vegan Dinamica® leather. Dinamica is the pioneer microfiber with environmental sustainability through the production cycle. On the floor, a new wood called karuun®, made of rattan, gives the interior of the VISION AVTR a natural feel and look.

turning, traffic-stopping car concept inspired by the movie Avatar. The designers at Mercedes-Benz partnered with the team behind one of the highest-grossing films of all time to build this stunning vehicle. The VISION AVTR has an inside-out design that jumps from the silver-screen world of Pandora into reality. The “One Bow” design shows how much the future of vehicle design is in the hands of Mercedes-Benz. The car’s name is also a play on “Advanced Vehicle Transformation.” Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG, unveiled the concept in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Consumer Electronics Show. “A visionary car that points far into the future. And a show car that is truly inspired by the fascinating world of Avatar,” he says. “The result highlights completely new ways of intuitively connecting humans and machines—without wooden sticks, plastic knobs or a steering wheel. The VISION AVTR also showcases new ways of moving people through the environment—sideways, like a crab, for instance. It takes sustainability to new levels through a fully recyclable battery, which is based on an organic cell chemistry and doesn’t need materials like nickel or cobalt.”

its new series-production supercar, the SF90 Stradale. The Prancing Horse’s new addition to the family goes up to 340 kph in speed. Celebrating 90 years since the foundation of Scuderia Ferrari, the new SF90 is the first-ever vehicle from the legendary manufacturer to feature PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) architecture. Per Ferrari standards, the design, interior and performance of the SF90 are once again second to none. The “90” in the name is an ode to its anniversary. Developed in the town of Maranello, Italy (known worldwide as the home of Ferrari), the SF90 is a prime example of how quickly the production cars in Ferrari’s lineup adopt the knowledge and skills that are learned in the checkered-flag competitions of Formula 1. The PHEV architecture design has an internal combustion engine with three electric motors. Two are on the front axle and one is in the rear between the engine and gearbox. The Ferrari SF90 Stradale has a V8 engine that goes from 0 to 100 kph in just 2.5 seconds, and 0 to 200 kph in 6.7 seconds. With 780 horsepower, it is the fastest and most advanced road Ferrari car ever. The internal combustion engine, gearbox, battery pack and electric motors, as well as the inverters, charging systems and brakes, all need cooling. Meticulous attention was paid to the design of the engine bay that houses both the usual internal combustion engine systems that generate temperatures of nearly 900°C and highly temperaturesensitive electronic components. The new eSSC (electronic Side Slip Control) vehicle control system services the engine torque of all wheels with: Electric Traction Control (eTC): distributes torque to individual wheels. Brake-by-wire control with ABS/EBD: braking torque is split between the hydraulic system and the electric motors, boosting performance.

Torque vectoring: available on the front axle, manages electric traction on the inside and outside of the wheel while cornering. The interior looks as if it’s from a future world. The new design has an aeronautically inspired cockpit that features alldigital technology. The head-up display puts different data on the windshield for the driver to see with ease and without being distracted. The supercar’s exterior is innovative in itself. The power train has been lowered, as well as the tail. The car is welldistributed by the cabin being placed ahead of the engine mounted in the middle. Clients will be able to choose between the standard car and a more sports-oriented design of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale.

The Sony Vision-S was recently unveiled at CES in Las Vegas. BY ANDRES E. CACERES
IN A SURPRISE MOVE, SONY HAS UNVEILED THE SONY VISION-S CAR.
SAFETY As self-driving cars come into the market, feeling secure within an autonomous vehicle will be imperative. A total of 33 automotive-grade sensors (including Sony CMOS sensors) are installed in and outside of the car. These provide advanced cruise control, self-parking and auto-lane functions. In addition, software updates will allow enhanced performance. Camera sensors notice nearing cars and pedestrians, providing alerts of their presence before the human eye even notices. In the cabin, three displays provide high visibility, even adjusting to the glare made by headlights from cars that are behind. Inside, sensors monitor the driver and passengers. For the driver, the sensors check their concentration and body for fatigue and warn if necessary. ENTERTAINMENT The 360 Reality Audio system fills the cabin with soothing and surrounding sounds. A row of displays welcomes the occupant, creating a wide screen. 100 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com
ADAPTABILITY The car gets to know the driver and adapts to him/her. If there is a passenger in the back seat displaying signs of a sleeping pattern, the Vision-S adjusts the climate around his or her seat to make the ride even more comfortable. If a rider is listening to music on their earphones as they approach the car, the music will be transferred to the car’s speaker system seamlessly. DETAILS OF THE SONY VISION-S Weight: 5,180 lbs. (2,350 kg) Power: 200 kW x 2 (Front/Rear) Acceleration: 4.8 s 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) Vmax: 149 mph (240 kph) Axle system: double wishbone front and rear suspension/air spring system Drive: All-Wheel Drive Ground Clearance: 120 mm-135 mm Tire size: 245/40R21 (Front) 275/35R21 (Rear)

CIRRUS AIRCRAFT INTRODUCED ITS NEW EMERGENCY-
autoland system, Safe Return™, which allows passengers to land the Vision Jet™, the world’s first single-engine Personal Jet™, with the press of a button. Safe Return, after being activated, takes control of the plane and transports it to the nearest airport, communicating with air traffic control (ATC) all the while, then safely lands and comes to a stop. “Our mission is to make personal aviation more accessible by continuing to improve passenger comfort and safety,” says Zean Nielsen, Cirrus Aircraft Chief Executive Officer. “Safe Return delivers the next step toward autonomous flight, bringing a new level of confidence to the overall flying experience by providing the ultimate level of safety and control to passengers. Together, with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® [CAPS®], we have once again set a new standard for safety in personal air travel.” CAPS is the first FAA-certified whole-airframe parachute safety system included as standard equipment on an aircraft. Using Perspective Touch+™ by Garmin® flight deck, Safe Return analyzes the plane’s data, including available fuel, as well as the terrain and surrounding weather to determine the closest and safest airport available, simultaneously communicating with ATC. Autothrottle, which was launched on the new G2 Vision Jet last year, works with the flight-control system to manage speed, altitude and path.
The system communicates the aircraft’s intentions over the appropriate ATC frequency, the 121.5 emergency voice frequency, and also switches to the universal emergency transponder code. ATC is automatically updated at regular intervals of the aircraft’s location, emergency situation and intended airport landing location. These communications begin the process of activating emergency services at the airport of intended landing to assist the passenger and pilot upon arrival. Safe Return can be easily turned off by the pilot by pressing the autopilot-disconnect button. The Vision Jet was first introduced in 2016 as the first singleengine Personal Jet to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration. It featured a spacious cabin for both pilot and passengers, with room for up to five adults and two children comfortably seated. The plane’s panoramic windows allow for easy enjoyment of the skies. The Vision Jet won the 2017 Robert J. Collier Trophy, the prestigious award that recognizes advances in aeronautical developments in the U.S. In 2019, Cirrus Aircraft debuted and delivered the G2 Vision Jet, with higher performance caliber, comfort, cruise altitude, speed and range. In addition, the new G2 has an upgraded Perspective Touch+ by Garmin. Cirrus expects to begin delivery of Vision Jets equipped with Safe Return in early this year. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 101

Haute THE LARGEST PRIVATE JET IN THE WORLD HAS BEEN
unveiled by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. (a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics): the Gulfstream G700™ . The new plane has been dubbed as the company’s flagship aircraft. It goes far, fast and takes passengers on a luxurious experience in the skies. Gulfstream announced the new G700 at the beginning of the 2019 National Business Aviation Association Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas. At the event, Gulfstream President Mark Burns displayed a mock-up of the new plane, as well as a video of the aircraft at Gulfstream’s headquarters in Savannah, Ga. “The Gulfstream G700 takes the very best elements from our most innovative products and unites them with cutting-edge advances to create an all-new, advanced-technology aircraft that redefines safety, comfort and range at speed,” Burns said. “This announcement is the biggest news in business-aviation history and is the result of the investments General Dynamics made to develop Gulfstream technology for Gulfstream products. Thanks to our nearly 18,000 employees around the world, the G700 is continuing a long Gulfstream tradition: raising the bar for ourselves and the industry.” CABIN The Gulfstream G700 has a spacious cabin that will be the envy of the heavens. Up to five living areas are distributed in the cabin: an extra-large galley with a passenger lounge or crew compartment; a

six-place dining or conference table; and a master suite with shower. “Gulfstream has a long tradition of listening to our customers, and the G700 cabin is the evolution of that collaboration,” Burns noted. “Customers shared how much they value flexibility and comfort in the cabin, all without compromising the speed and range advantages they have come to expect from Gulfstream. The G700 delivers all that and more.” Gulfstream’s own technological development reduces the jet lag that comes with traveling across time zones by creating sunrises and sunsets by the use of thousands of white and amber LEDs. PERFORMANCE The G700 comes with the award-winning Symmetry Flight Deck™ and other new safety advancements. The flight deck in the G700 has the Predictive Landing Performance System, which gives pilots timely warnings of how things look at a runway they are approaching, as well as Gulfstream’s Enhanced Flight Vision System and Synthetic Vision on dual head-up displays. Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines and Gulfstream’s newly designed winglets carry the G700 through the skies. The G700 can fly 7,500 nautical miles/13,890 kilometers at Mach 0.85 or 6,400 nm/11,853 km at Mach 0.90. Gulfstream anticipates G700 customer deliveries in 2022. Qatar Airways has already commissioned 10 Gulfstream G700 aircrafts.

+DISAPPEARING ACT
Meet the James Bond-inspired superyacht that can disappear in the blink of an eye. FOR ANYONE WHO GREW UP DREAMING OF JAMES BOND’S
’63 Aston Martin now has something new to dream about—the Carapace superyacht. As with any James Bond vehicle, the Carapace will be capable of things beyond the imagination, which includes disappearing underwater. Designed by naval architect Elena Nappi of the Italian shipbuilding company Fincantieri, the superyacht concept is a hybrid vessel engineered to cruise the high seas above and below water. According to Nappi, the ship takes its name from a part of an exoskeleton present in some animals, which in the project translates into an organic sunscreen net that shapes its superstructure. “It represents a new class of megayachts,” Nappi says. “It is a ship that changes with the changing demands of customers and with changing environmental conditions. Ship owners already have the largest boat, they already have every comfort onboard, except for the possibility to offer its customers, friends and family new options in complete privacy.” As with any luxury yacht, the Carapace features several beautiful on-deck entertainment areas, including a beach club complete with a pool, a spa, a gym and VIP cabins. However, what makes this dreamboat stand out is its aluminum superstructure, which can be completely sealed 104 HAUTE LIVING hauteyachts.com
up so that it can operate underwater. Talk about a secret lair: Diplomats and business bosses will be able to hold meetings in complete secrecy. According to Nappi, the submarine can reach a depth of 984 feet below sea level, with a 10-day immersion autonomy in which it will need an energy requirement of 1560 kW. “For this reason, 300 batteries are installed onboard to develop energy during the concealment phase with all operational services, without the need to go into the phase of emergence,” Nappi explains. “The submarine will spend 10 days in transfer after which it will be necessary to return to the snorkel to recharge the batteries. In these 10 days, you can travel, according to the calculations carried out, 2400 miles of diving at a speed of 10 knots.” When completely submerged, guests and passengers alike will also be treated to spectacular underwater views. The Carapace will be powered by a diesel-electric and fuel cell system that gives it a range of 2,400 miles. This powertrain would allow the boat to reach a top speed of 16 knots on the surface and 12 knots below it. While this is just a concept, it’s a glimpse into the future of superyachts. If Nappi brings her James Bond dream to life, it’s expected to cost in the several millions, but for a submersible superyacht—it’s worth it.

Ten years in the making: Studio F.A. Porsche’s Superyacht makes its water debut. BY NATASHA BAZIKA
PHOTOS COURTESY OF CAMPER & NICHOLSONS INTERNATIONAL
IT HAS BEEN A DECADE IN THE MAKING, BUT STUDIO F.A.
Porsche’s superyacht has made its water debut and it was well worth the wait. Described as a “spaceship on water,” the Royal Falcon One (aka RFF135) is as sleek as any of Porsche’s sports cars, but on water. Developed by Singapore-based firm Royal Falcon Fleet and designed by Studio F.A. Porsche, the futuristic vessel is a sight to see for all yacht lovers or people who like to witness greatness. Like most yachts, the RFF135 started as a sketch on a clean sheet of paper. The design brief to create a spaceship on the water is no easy feat, but there was one thing that couldn’t be overlooked: It had to be a catamaran configuration. The idea was to create the equivalent square footage of a 210-ft. monohulled yacht with a length of 135 ft. The result is a 135-foot luxury superyacht, powered by twin 4,600 horsepower diesel engines and twin Rolls-Royce Kamewa waterjets, which offer an estimated speed of 35 knots and a range of around 3,200 kilometers. Furthermore, the superyacht has a low fuel consumption, so it is able to travel long distances without refueling. The exterior was designed to represent speed and dynamics in a new and different way. The two hulls create a completely different stance impression, almost resembling the track of a sports car. Inside, the desire was to create an impression of functional luxury with top-quality materials and craftsmanship. The outcome is a modern but timeless interior, rich in opulent furnishings and a classic color palette of whites, grays and blacks. Thanks to its catamaran multihull design, the stateroom suites sit on or above the main deck, rather than below. The superyacht has three guest cabins on the main deck, with the master suite and VIP suite on the upper deck. The two independent hull decks also contain cabins for the ship’s crew. As for leisure areas, the upper deck is the place to be for soaking up the salty breeze and warm rays. Apart from the navigation equipment, this deck also has helm chairs, Jacuzzi, bar and a sun lounge. The mid-deck is catered toward the hierarchy. There is the pilothouse, captain’s cabin, guest suites, a luxurious owner’s suite and a private lounge as well as a space for private dining and entertaining on the exterior deck. The main deck includes an entertainment lounge forward, a well-equipped galley and a large dining lounge area that opens onto the main exterior deck. Above all that, there is a tender garage integrated into the aft main deck. After 10 years, what was thought to be somewhat of a myth is now a reality, and we couldn’t be more excited. Exclusively listed with Camper & Nicholsons, the Royal Falcon One’s price tag is available on application only. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 105

Students from the school flocked to an oversized wall, where the recognizable “Hublot Loves Art—Miami” slogan was emblazoned on a black backdrop covering the wall, in Miami’s signature turquoise and hot-pink coloring. Joining the crowd was Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe, President of Hublot North America Jean-François Sberro, Fairey and CEO of LVMH North America Anish Melwani. After the boutique reopening, VIP guests joined Fairey for a private luncheon at Wynwood Walls, which was closed off to the public for the duration of the event.

MARKET INSIGHT
FROM THE REAL ESTATE EXPERT JEFF MILLER
“Miami, especially Miami Beach, has always been at the top of the list for anyone searching for a second, third, or fourth home. Thanks to its tropical climate and incredible lifestyle attractions, it’s the perfect place to call home,” says Jeff Miller. “Right now, we’re experiencing a new wave of buyers looking to spend more time here, in part thanks to higher taxes driving them out of other states.”
8 W RIVO ALTO
As the number of new full-time buyers increases, so does the square footage they’re seeking. While size matters, buyers are determined not to sacrifice elements like location, views, and amenities. Properties that check all of these boxes do exist. Still, discerning buyers will want to utilize a local expert like Miller to ensure their dream home doesn’t slip away to a competitor’s offer.
access included a rooftop terrace with waterfront views along with exceptional features that include a theater and wine cellar.
Miller, a top-producer in Miami’s competitive real estate market, is credited with over $1 Billion in transactions, including numerous record-breaking multi-million dollar sales. Naturally, he is in high demand to savvy buyers.
You’re on speed dial for anyone looking for luxury real estate in Miami. When today’s buyer calls, what are they looking for?
Miller regularly makes headlines for orchestrating Miami’s most significant sales. He recently sold a nine-bedroom, 14,000-square foot home at 73 Palm Island for $24.5 million. This custom designed fully furnished home with direct water
Prior to that, Miller sold a newly built, fully-furnished home at 8 W Rivo Alto Drive, for $17 million. Walking distance to Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour, loved by locals for its restaurants, shopping, and boutique fitness studios, the home sits on 100 feet of waterfront and includes an art collection and spa.
At the high end of the Miami Beach market right now, it’s all about modern, waterfront homes. My clients want space and privacy as well as state of the art amenities. It’s not uncommon for buyers to ask for things like screening rooms, spa rooms, meditation areas, personalized boutique fitness studios, and multiple entertaining areas. Of course, because it’s so quintessential Miami, buyers prioritize being on the water to accommodate a yacht or simply enjoy the views.
We focus on the areas of the Venetian Islands, Star, Palm & Hibiscus, La Gorce, Indian Creek, and North Bay Rd. These enclaves, home to celebrities and international business power players, are in incredibly high demand. Our buyers appreciate the proximity to Miami Beach’s lifestyle hubs, along with the privacy and lifestyle that a single-family home has to offer. These buyers also raise the expectation of “turn-key” several notches. The perfect home will be move-in ready, down to the smallest detail. These features include interior design, custom furnishings, and even fully curated art throughout. What’s behind this trend? Today, large waterfront home buyers are either relocating to Miami full-time with their families-possibly motivated by increasingly high taxes in their home states, or they already own a condo locally, looking to upgrade to a home with more space. Whatever their motivation, Miami Beach buyers want to be waterfront. So you’ve found your client the perfect home. What’s next? Buyers purchasing multi-million dollar properties have highly personal wants and needs for their private homes. Once our clients settle on a home, they expect the same level of service they have at their other properties or their former condo. To make this transition seamless, Jeff Miller Group offers a concierge service that attends to every property’s needs. Based on the client’s personalized profile, the concierge handles everything from grocery shopping and organization to car washes and pet care. Concierge services last as long as the homeowner desires, offering the ability to shift from concierge to caretaker while the homeowner is away from the property. Are we seeing any trends in development as a result of the desires of these buyers? The demand for sizable, modern waterfront homes exceeds the current inventory. To accommodate these buyers, top developers have bought up many waterfront properties, tearing down the existing older homes to make way for modern spec homes. We can expect to see more of these modern estates come onto the market and sell at a higher velocity thanks to the high level of interest.

Live DJ beats from recording artist Nasir “Notemarcato” Dean provided a lively atmosphere as guests were invited to come shop throughout the location in the heart of the Miami Design District. The new line was a hit as both men and women gathered quickly to snag their sizes of the eye-catching shoes to complete their ensembles for the Big Game week. Outside the boutique, a gorgeous red Rolls-Royce Magma Dawn was parked at the entryway, inviting guests into a night of luxury. After the shopping event, select guests continued the night at Miami hot spot El Tucán, located in Brickell.

+Flavors of Peru Famed Peruvian restaurant Osaka brings vibrant Nikkei cuisine to Miami.
MIAMI IS THE NEW HOME OF FAMED PERUVIAN
restaurant Osaka, serving as the most-recent location as it expands to the U.S. for the first time ever. Having received praise for its innovative, fresh Nikkeistyle cuisine—which is a combination of Japanese cooking techniques paired with Peruvian flavors and ingredients—owners Diego Herrera and Diego de la Puente have rapidly increased Osaka’s presence throughout the globe. Osaka boasts nine restaurants in South America, as well as its newest location in Miami and London soon to follow later this year. The hot, new dining destination is located in Miami’s culinary-rich Brickell neighborhood, in a gorgeous space inspired by Japanese architecture and feng shui, with signature Peruvian accents that elevate the space to pay homage to its past and present culture through materials and textures. Upon entering the restaurant, guests are greeted by a tranquil running 124 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
waterfall, lush greenery and wooden floors that come together beautifully in the dimly lit space, transporting its guests to a Japanese-inspired oasis. In the back of the restaurant rests the signature ceviche and Nikkei bar, where guests will indulge in the restaurant’s most-cherished dishes, having front-row access to watch the sushi masters hard at work. There is additional seating throughout the dining room, as well as the beautiful bar area, where guests can enjoy bar bites and picture-perfect libations. Of course, the true star of the show at Osaka is the mouthwatering menu, which offers a varying selection of raw, cooked, cold, hot, seafood and meat dishes that allow you to embark on a culinary journey and experience the bold flavors of Nikkei cuisine. The menu starts with Ceviches, leading into Tiraditos & Usuzukuris, Makimono (maki rolls) and Nigiris; followed by Peruvian Izakaya dishes including

Haute Hiyashi Zensai (cold appetizers) and Yaki Zenzai (hot appetizers); and finally, the main courses—Al Carbon (grilled charcoal dishes) and Tokusen (special selections). All dishes are encouraged to be shared. Ingredients that are prevalent throughout the vibrant menu include quinoa, sweet potatoes, aji amarillo sauce, tobiko, truffle, lemon and lime zest and flavors of citrus pisco that enhance the traditional Japanese dishes to give them another layer of depth and tongue-tantalizing flavor, creating a truly unique and memorable dining experience. Each plate presented is more colorful and beautiful than the next, starting from fresh, light appetizers to savory and indulgent entrees. Highlights of the vibrant menu include the Kunsei Ceviche with smoked tuna, crispy sweet potato, cilantro and ponzu sauce; Tako Olivo—grilled octopus with botija olive tartare, aji amarillo relish and furikake; or the Carpassion—salmon, passion fruit honey, watercress and crispy strips. While maki rolls may not always be the most exciting, Osaka surprises guests with simple yet deliciously complex flavors in its rolls, with the Tuna Tartare Roll shining, created with aromatic herbs, avocado, tobiko and spicy mayo. The nigiris are a must, and we’d suggest opting for the premium Nikkei omakase platter

to get the most out of your meal, with a selection of its best fishes presented as sashimi, ceviche, tiradito, maki and nigiri tasting samplers. However, if opting to just try a few, the Tuna Foie and Hotate Truffle are the standouts—the first presented with seared foie gras, Nikkei teriyaki and Maldon salt, while the latter is torched scallop with truffle butter and lime. The Niku Tartar must not be missed, presented tableside consisting of prime beef, miso cure foie, pancayaniniku sauce and nori crackers—the perfect balance of rich, fresh ingredients that prime your palette for the rest of the meal. Making your way toward the warm, cooked dishes, the Inca Gyoza is another must-try, with six fried gyoza filled with duck confit, caramelized onions and shiitake, over aji amarillo sauce. To round out the meal, opt for something indulgent to finish off strong, such as the 24 oz. bone-in ribeye, Osaka Steak, seasoned with truffle uchucuta, tare criollo and smoked salt; or the Peruvian-inspired Pisco baby back ribs, marinated with a citrus pisco glaze, coriander and cacao nibs. To satisfy your sweet tooth, indulge in Mochi, Cacao Matcha or yuzu-green tea shaved ice for dessert. Osaka is located in 1300 Brickell Bay Drive, Suite CU3 & CU10, Miami.

New & hot Hutong Miami debuts in Brickell as its second U.S. location. HAILING FROM HONG KONG, AQUA RESTAURANT
Group’s famed Hutong restaurant has made its grand debut in Miami on Brickell Avenue, serving as the brand’s second U.S. location, following New York. The hot spot brings a fresh take to upscale Chinese cuisine in a truly breathtaking atmosphere, complete with traditional Chinese design elements and modern Miami art influences. The expansive restaurant boasts incredible detail, such as 35,000 antique grey bricks adorning the highscaling walls of the restaurant, which were handchiseled and transported all the way from a 1930s building in China. Authenticity is palpable, as the rich culture and history of the homeland are delivered in a beautiful and organic way throughout the space, including wooden dynasty lattice screens, as well as the location’s very own version of China’s “Great Wall.” The eye-catching 70-foot-long wall features hand-carved Chinese wooden doors and panels that pulsate with a beautiful display of color and light as the sun sets and the lights grow dimmer for dinner service, transmitting a beautiful video sequence that will have you transfixed throughout your meal. Additionally, vivid pop-art elements decorate the space in colors of bright fuchsia and turquoise, mixed in with lime-green chairs at each table—which also happens to match the vibrant and colorful menus placed upon each table setting. Much like the interior of the space, Hutong’s menu is distinguished and emblematic of Chinese culture, with touches of fiery vibrancy that add an extra element of flavor to each dish. The Miami menu incorporates plates that are beloved from both the Hong Kong and London locations, as well as a few that are signature to Miami. Prepare to have your taste buds tantalized because each dish is more memorable than the next. Of course, you can’t steer wrong with the classic Chinese favorite, Hutong’s Roasted Peking Duck, which is delicately carved tableside and served with pancakes, scallions, cucumber and plum sauce. Other 126 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
crowd favorites include the Red Lantern, presented to the table in a beautiful Chinese wood basket, popping with colorful red Sichuan dried chiles and crispy pieces of soft-shell crab; as well as the poached Branzino in a spicy Sichuan peppercorn broth, serving as the perfect dish for two. Additional highlights of the menu include the traditional dim sum selection, which comes with a tasty variety of Sichuan Peppercorn Prawn, Marlin Fish, Prawn & Black Truffle and Wild Mushroom & Spinach; the crispy, Wagyu Beef Millefeuille—slowcooked with black pepper; and the classic, Chef’s Fried Rice to accompany the meal. The menu also offers a selection of tasty vegetable side dishes, such as the Wok-Tossed Pea Shoots or the Four Season Beans with fresh chili, minced pork and dried baby shrimp. To pair with your dishes, try one of Hutong’s signature cocktails, such as the “Szechuan Dragon” made with Bombay Sapphire gin, orange liquor, dragon fruit and Szechuan peppers; or the “Comfortably Numb,” concocted with vanilla vodka, lychee liqueur, honey, lime, Thai chili and red Szechuan peppercorn. Round out the spice in your meal with the tasty Ma La Chocolate Mousse for dessert, created with rich South American chocolate mousse, infused with fiery Sichuan chiles. Hutong offers both indoor and outdoor seating in the expansive space. While the warm, cozy atmosphere serves as the perfect night out or datenight destination, Hutong also offers lunch service, which launched in late November 2019, with an emphasis on the traditional Chinese dim sum lunch. Hutong is located at 600 Brickell Ave. Miami. It is open for dinner daily from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday; 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday; and 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday. The bar is open daily until 2 a.m. “Lite Lunch” is served daily from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Weekend brunch is soon to come. Hutong welcomes large parties in the private dining room.

WITH UNIMPEDED, 360-DEGREE VIEWS OF THE SUNSHINE THAT SURROUNDS MIAMI,
the Penthouse Collection at PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter tops off the residential tower within the 27-acre mixed-use site. The 60-story skyscraper’s 26 signature penthouses are made up of 18 large single-story residences and eight two-story duplex units, located in the circular upper core of the tower. They range in price between $3.5 and $11 million. The impressive layouts have between 3,500 and over 6,000 square feet, with four or five bedrooms per residence. There are four duplex penthouses on the 54th, 55th and 57th floors, part of the tower’s four-level Skydeck. The striking design resembles an Italian superyacht, featuring a sky-view lounge, sunrise pool, observatory, infinity pool, sundeck and Tai Chi deck. The Penthouse Collection at PARAMOUNT has top-of-the-line luxuries. These include private elevator access to the units, chef kitchens within the units with 12-foot islands and luxurious appliances like full-size wine coolers and induction cooktops from premium brands Sub-Zero and Wolf. The 10-foot ceilings in all of the living spaces provide natural light and views that are unequaled. Imagine waking up every day looking at Biscayne Bay, bustling Downtown Miami and the cruises arriving and departing from the Port of Miami. Then, think of the sunsets to delight your eyes. Other features in the units include expansive outdoor living rooms and bathrooms complete with rain showers and spa tubs. “The Penthouse Collection is yet another testament to the new dimension PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter is introducing to the market,” says developer Daniel Kodsi. “A true rarity, our penthouse residents will enjoy expansive floorplans and oversized, outdoor living rooms, designed to feel like a true single family home in the sky with sweeping 180-degree views and all of the benefits of our urban location and unmatched amenity offerings.” Widely regarded as the most amenitized building in the U.S., PARAMOUNT boasts its Upper Deck, which has opened as the largest amenity deck in the country. Situated 90 feet above Downtown Miami, the building offers the country’s first outdoor soccer field in a high-rise residential development. Residents also enjoy two tennis courts, a resort-style pool, multiple bungalows and more. Last summer, PARAMOUNT began closing on its residences, and residents have already begun moving into their units. The residences at PARAMOUNT have amazed the highest of expectations from the real estate world, garnering attention from a global audience of buyers. More than 57 countries are represented among the buyers of residences at PARAMOUNT. Over 90% of the residential units at PARAMOUNT have been sold with more than $400 million in sales of its 500+ city- and bay-view units. Residences in the tower range in size from 1,180 to 2,350 square feet, with a starting price of $750 per square foot.

+A CULINARY EXCURSION Brunch and live music at CHICA by Lorena Garcia in Miami.
Haute
130 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
A CULINARY TRIP ACROSS LATIN AMERICA IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT GUARANTEED AT CHICA BY LORENA GARCIA,
the newest restaurant in the chic-a MiMo area of Miami. The location opened this past November to rave reviews, joining the CHICA flagship at the Venetian Resort’s Restaurant Row in Las Vegas as the second restaurant by the Venezuelan-born chef. The Miami location is her biggest location yet, seating 187 indoor and outdoor diners. The menu has an extensive list of plates and drinks that cover Chef Lorena’s passion for Latin food and sharing it with the world. Chef Lorena gives Haute Living this exclusive Q&A all about her brunch menu and the live music performances that delight the palate and ears of all her guests. Haute Living: What is special about CHICA’s brunch versus brunch at other Miami restaurants? What can guests find at CHICA that they can’t find anywhere else? Chef Lorena Garcia: Brunch at CHICA is a full experience. From the music, energy, the outstanding service, drinks and food that represents the fun and eclectic influences of Latin America. HL: What are some signature dishes offered at CHICA? How are they prepared? CLG: At CHICA, guests will find my favorite brunch items, including our colorful arepa basket, fried chicken, pan de bono waffles and cachapas with pork belly. HL: How does CHICA put a “Latin twist” on some familiar brunch favorites? CLG: We use the ingredients and techniques I grew up with in South America in all of our dishes. For example, using lomo saltado for steak and eggs; using a pan de bono waffle for our chicken and waffles dish; and serving our buñuelos with a dulce de leche sauce. HL: Is there anything else you want to specifically highlight about brunch? CLG: Bottomless mimosas and an incredible DJ on Sunday make for a great party! HL: How do you go about sourcing talent/the musicians who perform at CHICA? CLG: We use local agencies to book the musicians and bands, but we also reach out organically to bands we have heard or seen locally that we think would be a fit. HL: Why is live music so important for the restaurant? CLG: CHICA is in a residential neighborhood, and while we are not a neighborhood restaurant, we want to be a place that our neighbors know they can come to have great food, great drinks, and enjoy great live music and dancing without the club atmosphere. HL: What type of music can guests expect to hear at CHICA? CLG: At CHICA, we play a mix of Latin, top 40 favorites and classic cover songs. HL: How does CHICA’s Latin identity influence the music that is played in the restaurant? CLG: We try to ensure that Latin identity is infused into our music without abandoning our non-Latin patrons by also incorporating the top 40. HL: How does the music enhance the overall experience at CHICA? CLG: The music helps take CHICA up to the category of “vibe dining” and giving the feel of a dinner party every Friday and Saturday night. CHICA by Chef Lorena Garcia is located at 5556 NE 4th Ct, Miami, Fla. For more, visit www.chicarestaurant.com/miami.
