“THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS NOT ABOUT YOU, IT’S NOT ABOUT ME — IT’S ABOUT WE.”
I
In the span of an hour, Tony Robbins has cried three times (and, true confession, I was right there with him). We’re talking about how the past has shaped his present, and shit has gotten deep. We’re Zooming, naturally. It is still a pandemic-era world, and the 61-year-old world-renowned entrepreneur, best-selling author, philanthropist and top life and business strategist is a big proponent of rolling with the punches and pivoting when he needs to —and that includes this Covid-friendly means of interaction. He is currently at his home in Sun Valley, Idaho (one of many globally, though his home base is Palm Beach), wearing a signature Black Clover hat; the intention behind it being to “live lucky.” And although it might seem like he was born lucky, the opposite is actually true. He grew up poor, in a rough part of SoCal with not one but four dads (because, he says, his mom, Nikki, a drug abuser and alcoholic, kept kicking them out). But he had kindness, he had optimism, he had determination and he had belief in himself. And that, my friends, is one of the truest secrets of Tony Robbins’ success: he makes his own luck. The other is that for as much wealth as he has, he’s willing to part with it. His life would mean nothing if he didn’t give back. “We’re caught up in a pattern where a lot of people are miserable and unhappy during one of the most abundant times in human history, and I think it’s because they’re missing what makes them feel alive, which is growth, progress,” he says. “But when you grow, you have something to give.” Personal growth is the driving force behind his businesses, and for good reason: it is the foundation of what he has built his own life upon, particularly as it pertains to philanthropy. He recalls his first brush with the concept of charity and how it shaped him. “My mom, when she was still alive, would say, ‘He’s always been this way.’ I grew up in a pretty rough neighborhood in South Central L.A., and we were dirt-poor. My mom used to tell this story about how, when I was 4 years old, she sent me next door to this liquor store with the little bit of money we had for a loaf of bread and a quart of milk. I was gone for a very long time, and she was concerned. When I came back, it was with no bread, no milk and no money. She said, ‘Where’s the bread, where’s the milk?’ I said, ‘Well, I met a poor boy there, and so I gave him our money so he could have what he needed.’ My mom was like, ‘But we’re poor!’” But he felt as rich as king — and that’s kind of the point. Fast-forward seven years, and now, it’s Thanksgiving, a moment in time that he declares to be his strongest memory. At this moment in time, Robbins (née Anthony J. Mahavoric) was on dad number four, Jim, a former semiprofessional baseball player (who legally adopted him a year later, and whose last name he uses to this day). His parents were fighting, saying things that they could never take back. His father had just lost his job and was depressed. Young Tony was protecting his siblings, then-5-year-old Marcus and 7-year-old Tara, from his parents’ squabbling when he heard a knock on the door. It was a stranger,
holding a pot with an uncooked turkey and two bags of groceries. “I was out of my mind,” Robbins remembers. “We wouldn’t have starved — we had crackers, butter, spaghetti with ketchup — but we weren’t going to have a feast. I thought my dad was going to be excited, too, and I couldn’t wait to see how joyous he’d be. But he wasn’t. He said, ‘We don’t take charity,’ and he went to slam the door on the man [who wouldn’t let it happen. Instead] the man said, ‘Sir, sir, please don’t be upset. Somebody knows you’re having a tough time. Everybody has tough times. Don’t let your ego make your family suffer.’ The veins were popping out of my dad’s neck — I thought he was going to hit the guy. But instead he grabbed the groceries, slammed them down and slammed the door. He didn’t say thank you or anything, and it was horrific. I was so excited, and he was angry — which taught me a really interesting lesson for later in life. In fact, it shaped my life.” How? It shaped his career. “This is what I teach people now. Your life can be shaped by three decisions,” he explains. “First, What are you going to do? For me, there was food. What a concept! It was a great thing. But the second question is, What does this mean? My dad and I made different decisions that day. The third decision was, What are you going to do? My dad’s focus was that he had to take care of his family — he made that crystal clear. He beat himself up about it, saying it out loud over and over again, and the meaning was that he was worthless. And what he decided to do as a result was leave our family, which, at the time, was the most brutal experience, because of all of my fathers, he was the one I really loved and adored, although he wasn’t my natural one. But for me that day, the meaning was totally different. My dad always said, ‘No one cares about anybody else.’ We lived in a community where it kind of felt that way; we were on the wrong side of the tracks. But that day, my brain was like, ‘Strangers care about me and my family. They don’t even know me. I could care about strangers, too.’ So I decided that one day, I would do the same for other people.” When he was 17, that day came. He wasn’t successful yet — he had just begun promoting seminars for motivational speaker and mentor Jim Rohn — but he was “doing OK.” And so, on Thanksgiving that year, in a nod to his previous pivotal moment, he decided to give back by providing a holiday dinner to two underserved families in Venice, California. He called a local church and asked if there were any families who —like his dad — were too proud to accept charitable donations. He took down some names, threw on a pair of jeans, borrowed a van and wrote two notes — one in English and one in Spanish — that said Please have a beautiful Thanksgiving, and someday, if you can, pay it forward. Love, a friend. And he went on his way. What occurred at the first house he visited — which belonged to a “tiny” Hispanic woman (I’m taking “tiny” with a grain of salt, because Robbins is larger than life in every possible way, especially his actual physical size, 6’7”) and her four boys — “changed my life.” The @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 17
mother’s reaction to his offering was priceless. She screamed, took his head in her hands and kissed him. He kept protesting, “No, no, no, I’m just the delivery guy!” but she didn’t speak English, so he gave her the letter written in Spanish. “She started crying, and she kept repeating, ‘You’re a gift from God,’” he recalls. As he was leaving, one particular moment was seared into his memory forever. “I looked back in the rearview mirror, and I see all five of them on the porch. The mom was crying, but with a giant smile on her face. The kids were smiling. But I had uncontrollable tears pouring down my face, and I thought to myself, Why is this? Why am I feeling like this is such a great moment?” Here, Robbins genuinely does start crying (as do I — it’s hard to remain impassive or objective in the face of so much genuine, raw emotion). He collects himself, but his eyes are still shimmering as he says, “That was the moment when I realized that my worst day was my best day. That day wouldn’t be here if my father hadn’t left. I wouldn’t have had the drive to make that difference. And I decided that I was going to continue to make that difference.” He continued to work for Rohn, even putting in a few years at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, but he was still destitute. One night when he was 19, he was driving his 1968 Volkswagen down the 57 freeway through the rough-and-ready city of Pomona at midnight and he had an emotional breakdown. He pulled over on the side of the road, whipped out an 11x7 notebook (that he still has to this day) and wrote the words that were to become his infamous catchphrase: The secret to living is giving. “I just started crying,” he admits. “I realized that I had gotten so focused on ‘why wasn’t it working’ that I had stopped focusing on the giving.” Six months later, despite his epiphany, he was still broke, perhaps even more so than before. He was living in a tiny bachelor apartment in Venice, watching the romance unfold between Luke and Laura on General Hospital (“shit that I would have made fun of anybody else for doing”), hiding from his creditors. “I hit my absolute threshold,” he says. “I had 22 bucks in my pocket, couldn’t pay my rent, couldn’t pay my electricity. And so I decided to go to an-all-you-can eat restaurant to ‘load up for the winter.’ I didn’t take my car because I couldn’t pay for the parking, so I walked a couple of miles [to the nearby city of Marina Del Rey]. And that’s when I had the most powerful [philanthropic experience of my life].” The door to the restaurant slowly opened, and in walked an absolute stunner. Her date was her young son, dapper in a suit and vest, every inch the gentleman as he opened doors and pulled out his mother’s chair for her. “I just watched him,” Robbins remembers. “He was looking in her eyes; he was so present with her. It moved me so much.” So he paid his all-you-can-eat bill of $5.95 plus tax, and he introduced himself to the kid, Charlie, praising him for his manners and applauding him for taking his mom out to lunch. The 10-year-old responded, “I can’t take her out to lunch yet, because I don’t have a job, but I’m going to when I can in the future.” Robbins says he still doesn’t know what came over him, but he reached into his pocket, took out literally all of his remaining money in the world and urged the kid to take it. “I walked out and realized I don’t have a car there, and I looked like some silly white guy, skipping home about two miles. I was on cloud nine. But the reason I’m telling this story is that I had no money for food, no idea how to pay my bills, and I was the happiest I’d been in my entire life. I went to sleep with no plan and no fear. I can’t explain it.” The next day, like a reciprocal gift from God, he received a handwritten apology letter from a guy he’d loaned money to and had been unsuccessfully chasing, $1,200 plus $75 interest. “But instead of being euphoric, I was just crying and crying and crying. I was like, What is this? 18 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
Why did this happen? And then I realized, I think it’s because I did the right thing. I just did it because it was right, and it freed me from the scarcity I grew up with.” He wells up again, and this time the tears dangle on his eyelashes like stars. I can see them clearly, even over Zoom. Sniffling, he says, “I’m sorry that there are tears in my eyes, because this is [still real for me]. I’m 61 years old, and all of this is happening 40 years later, but I can still feel it at that depth. I’m an empath, and that’s why I can do what I do… I’ve had many companies, and holy shit, in the early days, some near-bankruptcies. There were some scary times, but I never went back to that place I was before that moment [with Charlie]. It just made a permanent shift in me. It anchored me. I discovered what life is about. You can do well, but you can also do good, and I don’t think those two sentiments should be separated.”

Everyone in the world knows Tony Robbins’ name. Not only does the man own more than 100 companies, but for more than four decades he has touched the hearts and transformed the lives of more than 50 million people. He has worked with four U.S. presidents; top entertainers like Aerosmith, Green Day, Usher and Pitbull; athletes including tennis pro Serena Williams and UFC champion Conor MacGregor; and business leaders like Salesforce.com founder Marc Benioff and Ray Dalio, the co-CIO of the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates. He has penned six successful books, including the New York Times best-sellers Money: Master the Game and Unshakeable: Your Financial Freedom Playbook. But as we’ve seen, this success wasn’t handed to him. Even when he had nothing, he gave back. But when he did have something to give, he really gave — and used his magnetic powers to urge others to do the same on a much larger scale. Feeding two underserved families on Thanksgiving grew to 10 a year to a million, to 4 million. When SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly food stamps) financing of underserved families was cut by almost a week’s worth of food a year, Robbins got the private sector involved, using his connections with the goal of providing more than a billion meals over 10 years. “I was at a stage in my life where I had done so much work with athletes, entertainers, politicians, businesspeople, that I needed something that was going to inspire me even more,” he explains. Inspired by Robin Hood Foundation founder and financial guru Paul Tudor Jones, a longtime client, he decided to amplify his support of the nonprofit Feeding America by co-creating the 100 Million Meals Challenge and seeding the campaign by donating all the profits from Unshakeable to providing funding for 100 million meals per year through 2025. The campaign grew so successful that its goals continue to be surpassed and new ones created. The campaign, which he encourages others to contribute to, has now provided support for 800 million meals through Feeding America’s U.S. network of 200 food banks. The effort to reach a billion meals by 2025 is two years ahead of schedule. But it wasn’t enough, so he invested in the X Prize Foundation, working with Zero Gravity Corporation CEO Peter Diamandis and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, as well as the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research, to create the $20
“WE FORGET HOW LUCKY WE ARE, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE FOCUS ON WHAT WE DON’T HAVE. AND I THINK THAT’S THE BIGGEST REASON PEOPLE FAIL.”
HONESTLY, IT’S HARD TO BE HAPPY IF IT’S ONLY ABOUT YOU. THE ONLY WAY UNHAPPINESS GOES AWAY IS TO FIND SOMETHING MORE THAN YOURSELF TO SERVE. WHEN YOU’RE NOT IN YOUR HEAD, YOU’RE IN YOUR HEART, AND THAT’S WHERE LIFE CHANGES, IN MY OPINION.”
million Feeding the Next Billion Xprize, with the impetus of creating new technology that would feed people around the world in healthy ways. Robbins has built his life on service to others, so he’s hardly stopped there. “I chunk [my giving] by focusing on What are the essential needs of humanity? Food…water.” After seeing children dying of waterborne diseases in India, he teamed up with Spring Health to provide a quarter of a million people with fresh water. When he bought a private jet, he was concerned about the impact it would have on the environment, so he hired someone to show him what his carbon footprint was. When he learned he was destroying 5,000 trees annually, he said “Screw that” and decided to to not only support the planting of 100 million trees but to work with sub-Saharan farmers to create tree farms in Africa. His goal is in sight: he’s currently at 71 million trees. During one of his seminars, he met a woman who revealed that her mission was stopping sex trafficking. As a father of five (he also has five grandkids) who couldn’t imagine his children living through something so horrific, he immediately donated $4 million to her cause. He was also one of the largest donors to help fund the nonprofit New Story, which is building entire new communities, including one of the first 3D-printed home communities, in Nacajuca, Mexico, and another traditional one in El Espino, El Salvador. And after a snowboarding accident caused a long-term injury to his rotator cuff, he became involved in stem cell research and was invited to the Vatican to meet with Pope Francis — who is also a proponent of this innovative science — in 2018. He’s in the process of finishing another nearly 700-page book, the proceeds of which will be donated entirely to support the work of a half dozen leading researchers and researcher’s organizations working on breakthrough alternatives for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and anti-aging. He and his foundation are also making a difference in the quality of life of youth, senior citizens, the homeless and the imprisoned population. Started in 1991, the Tony Robbins Foundation has awarded more than 2,000 grants and other resources to health and human services organizations, implemented life-changing curricula in more than 1,700 correctional facilities and provided mentorship to thousands of young leaders across the world. He likens his charitable endeavors to how he invests in businesses: while he may not have started them, each and every one is something he’s passionate about and firmly stands behind. “I have more than 100 companies; I couldn’t have done that from scratch,” he admits. “So I started looking for, What can I bring to this company that already exists so I can turbocharge its growth? I try to do that with philanthropy as well. You’ve got to start where you are, and I think that’s the most important thing. I hear people say all the time, ‘When I’m rich, I’ll do that kind of stuff too.’ I look that person straight in the eye and say, ‘If you don’t give a dime out of a dollar, don’t bullshit yourself and tell me you’re going to give a million out of $100 million or $100 million out of $1 billion. You’re lying to yourself. Do it now and get wired for life. You’ll get a sense of meaning that comes from having a life that’s about more than just yourself.’ Most people don’t do that, though.” But Robbins is not most people. “I am a normal person… people just assume that I have this great gift, [but it’s tough, because they don’t see] who I really am or where I really come from,” he says. But I think the man doth protest too much. The average person does not remind themselves to “be a blessing” to others, as he does during every single seminar before he goes up onstage; he also says a prayer. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 21
He explains, “What I’m committed to being is a source of love and strength for people. My whole belief is that love is action. If you want to know who I am, look at my lips, watch how my feet move. My heart is moved, my body is moved,” he says, adding, “I look at myself as kind of a Trojan horse. I am here to give you what you want so I can eventually get the right to give you what you need. People want to move up in business. They want to make more money. They want to lose weight. They want to have better relationships. They want to be fit. They want all these things that they feel are obstacles. So I developed a model, strategies for successful people. [During my seminars], when I’ve packed individuals in the audience to their capacity with models, tools and actions to take, then I usually have like a 30-minute call to action for their soul, so to speak, which is to remind them that the purpose of life is not about you, it’s not about me — it’s about we, and that’s when we’re most alive. That’s what makes people happy.” And that — as simple as it sounds — is the key. Just happiness. “I think what it comes down to, really, is, what does it take to succeed? The answer is finding something that you want to serve more than yourself, and that’s just as true in business as it is in philanthropy, because you just try to meet your own needs,” he says, adding, “I hate the term self-esteem, but if you’re going to use it, mean esteem for yourself. People tell me I’m great all the time, and trust me, I appreciate the love that I receive immensely, but I know what the hell I am. I deliver. And I have a much higher standard for what I’m going to deliver than what [people] expect of me. That’s why I am who I am. And my self-esteem didn’t come because people told me I was great as a child. They didn’t. My mom would drink alcohol, she would take prescription drugs, and then she’d be a different person. It wasn’t her fault she was violent, but she would pour liquid soap down my throat until I threw up; she’d bang my head against the wall. It was rough, and I could have been angry at my mom my whole life. Instead I made it my job to understand. Much of who I am came from that, and it’s a choice. The only way unhappiness goes away is to find something more than yourself to serve. When you’re not in your head, you’re in your heart, and that’s where life changes, in my opinion.”
S
So what makes Robbins happy? That’s easy. “Love is the greatest luxury. It’s priceless,” he declares, noting that his love for others has, in turn, helped him discover self-love. “I think I learned to love myself by loving so many other people and then feeling the love back. I think I felt like I earned it in some way. I love people so much, and I hate suffering. So to take people out of suffering and take them to a place that’s not just joy and happiness but empowerment, where they sustainably have a better quality of life, lights me up like a Christmas tree — and it gave me permission to love myself. I don’t think that’s necessarily the right way to do it, it’s just what finally worked for me. I was dense. It took me decades,” he admits. It has taken him an equal amount of time to actually take time for himself. And he has the pandemic to thank for that. On average, he’d be jetting around the world, hitting between 12 and 16 countries and 115 cities annually — some of them, like Australia, multiple times a year — reaching a quarter of a million people through his words, his drive and his passion. Last year, he was literally forced to slow down. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t appreciate it. For his 60th birthday in February 2020 (he was born on February 29, a magical leap year baby), he gave himself 22 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
the gift that keeps on giving for a man who’s always on the move: a Boeing 737 Business Jet. He had every intention of using it as much as was humanly possible. But just a few days post-celebration, he started receiving calls asking if he would be canceling upcoming seminars in San Francisco and San Jose. “It was like, ‘You must not know me,’” he recalls. “I had mercury poisoning and lost a third of my blood supply, went to the hospital, and they said, ‘You’re going to stay here for three days in the middle of the summer.’ They put me in a wheelchair, but I still finished the event. But then [last year], all of a sudden, live events were illegal in California. The governor says no more than 10 people, and I’ve got bookings for 12,500.” Las Vegas, ditto. He was shut down as the world shut down. He tried a pivot: movie theaters, with the unique idea of buying out local theaters with only 10 attendees only at each event. Then came the movie theater closures. And then Texas — Texas couldn’t possibly follow suit. But alas, we all know how that story unfolded. “It was like, what the hell do you do? Well, my plane’s worthless at this point. But I knew I had to find a way to serve the people who needed me the most,” Robbins says. He was inspired by seeing a webinar using two 52inch screens and recruited his team to come up with some innovative ideas. He purchased a building with 40-foot-high ceilings, bought some 20-foothigh LED screens and took a page out of Zoom CEO Eric Yuan’s playbook by going virtual. He aggressively hired six companies, who told him his vision could be executed in nine months, maybe. He wasn’t having it. Nine months? Try nine weeks. “We were literally working in a storm the night before, trying to get this thing done, and when we opened up the first program, I did a free one because so many people were in trouble.” (Mind you, Robbins’ seminars cost between $650 and $2,995.) After he launched the 7-day Comeback Challenge last June, which was attended by a quarter of a million people in 99 countries, his digital footprint soared to new heights. Between March 2020 and March 2021, more than a million people attended one of his virtual events. “All of a sudden, I found myself in a place where it’s like, ‘Holy shit. I can reach more people this way.’ It’s been unfreakin-believable!” he declares. “So I still have my plane, but I’m chartering it. I’m not using it as much.” But this is Tony Robbins we’re talking about. He may have slowed down a bit and pivoted to a partially virtual platform, but he’s never going to give up these real, one-on-one, very human connections. For him, engaging is like breathing. He’s got a live event in Saudi Arabia this December, he will join the Power of Success panel in Dallas to a crowd of 5,000 on November 3, and, perhaps most importantly, he will host his first Unleash the Power Within event in two years in his hometown of Palm Beach from November 11 to 14. (The latter of which, in addition to his Date with Destiny events, are so powerful that Stanford University is now studying the effects on the psychological well-being of the interventions on participants of both. Researchers’ findings are currently being peer reviewed and are expected to be published in the coming months.) But back to his birthday gift. “I think going forward you’re going to see I’ll probably use that plane less and less. I have a way to be home now,” he says, noting, “The greatest benefit I’ve got is I now have a studio where I can reach people all over the earth and do what I do best without having to give up so many things I gave up for most of my life. I’ve lived my entire life as a nomad, serving people. Now I don’t have to give up that impact when I could be home with my [wife of 20 years, Sage, and six-month-old daughter] the majority of time, and so I’ll do both. Family is the most important thing, after all. But I do think the greatest privilege is to be able to serve people from anywhere and be home with my family. I have the most beautiful life, family and friends. But I’m made to do this.” It’s a calling. I’d say let the healing begin, but that’s not accurate. Let the healing continue is more apt. For as long as the world needs him, Tony Robbins is here to serve.

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

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

A luxury maison dedicated to fostering its relationship with the art world for nearly a century, Louis Vuitton continually commissions leading contemporary artists to bring their creative expression to its iconic pieces, to catapult the design beyond fashion. The brand has entered the third chapter of its limited-edition, artist-designed Artycapucines Collection, designed to provide artists with the distinctive Capucines design and silhouette as a blank canvas.
Like the previous collections by celebrated artists including Henry Taylor, Beatriz Milhazes, Urs Fischer, Zhao Zhao, JeanMichel Othoniel and Tschabalala Self, the third Artycapucines Collection captures the innovative Louis Vuitton spirit. Each artist’s intricate technique and creative process blends with the brand’s artisanal expertise, resulting in incredible works of art.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SKINCARE
MUST-HAVES Dr. Kiran Gill launches her own medical skincare line.
plastic and reconstructive surgeon with specialty fellowship training in aesthetic surgery of the face, breast, and body. In 2018, she founded Aesthetics in Plastic Surgery by Kiran Gill, MD, the only female-owned boutique plastic surgery and aesthetic practice in Southwest Florida. Dr. Gill and her team offer surgical and nonsurgical options for both men and women, including face, breast, and body rejuvenation procedures as well as a variety of noninvasive skin and spa treatments in a private, tranquil, stateof-the-art environment. Dr. Gill just announced the launch of her new medical skincare line. Created with cutting-edge cosmetic science and powerful medicalgrade active ingredients, the line of five restorative and anti-aging products fills the gap in the regional medical skincare market. The line will be available to Dr. Gill’s current and new patients and will be recommended based on their skincare needs. “Skincare has always been a passion of mine, and I believe good skincare should effect change,” says Dr. Gill. “After having children and moving to Florida, I saw changes in my skin, like hyperpigmentation, dullness and sun spots. To address these issues and meet the needs and cosmetic goals of my patients, I created these innovative skincare products in partnership with leading scientists in the field.” The new line incorporates proven anti-aging antioxidants and retinol, natural skin brighteners, as well as hydroquinone for those who need more aggressive treatment. In addition, the revitalizing thermal facial exfoliant preps the skin through thermal-mechanical exfoliation — an important part of every skincare regimen, since products are more effective on exfoliated skin. The last component is the body scrub. Dr. Gill included this product because bodies are more exposed to the sun in Florida, and aging skin is often overlooked.
76 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty
The new line of products features: 1) Bright Eyes ($98), a daily eye cream that hydrates, soothes and revitalizes the skin around the eyes. This product contains retinol, caffeine and antioxidants, which target fine lines and dark circles for smoother and firmer skin. Illuminate ($125), brightening pads that contain botanical ingredients paired with antioxidants that work to lighten dark spots, even skin tone, and protect from further pigmentation. For more aggressive therapy, Dr. Gill’s team can customize these pads with the addition of hydroquinone. The pads are easy to use, with a simple swipe across the skin and the ability to work areas of hyperpigmentation a little deeper. Complexion RX ($125), a retinol pad that penetrates fast and actively increases skin turnover. For beginners, Complexion RX 2.5 works with minimal irritation. Dr. Gill’s team upgrades more seasoned clients to Complexion RX 5.0. Revitalizing Thermal Facial Exfoliant ($60), a robust scrub that warms as it exfoliates, opening pores and removing dead skin. Dr. Gill recommends using it once or twice a week to ensure the other products penetrate the skin. Clarifying Body Scrub ($51), which contains the key ingredients glycolic acid and salicylic acid. It revitalizes the skin of the body, which is chronically exposed to the sun. As a female physician, plastic surgeon and recipient of many of her offered treatments and skincare products, Dr. Gill has a keen understanding of her patients’ needs and cosmetic goals. She provides a compassionate, personalized and intuitive approach. To schedule a consultation and learn more about these new products, call 239-5968000 or visit kirangillmd.com.

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

THERE’S NO DENYING THAT TODAY’S TEENAGERS ARE TRYING
Haute
DR. JOSE RODRÍGUEZ-FELIZ | EYELID SURGERY, FACE | MIAMI/FORT LAUDERDALE
Anyone considering cosmetic surgery must do their due diligence. Younger patients can very easily be influenced by social media, and in reality, the number of followers does not necessarily correlate with the quality of care and results you will get. Also, finding the correct plastic surgeon for the procedure you want to have done can take time. Do not make any rushed decisions. In today’s world, it’s a lot easier to look for the correct surgeon, as the digital world has allowed great exposure to our field. For those who are younger, I always emphasize the importance of doing cosmetic surgery for the correct reasons. This is not to try to be like someone else or look for perfection. Cosmetic surgery can help boost your spirit when the right expectations are set and the procedure is done for the correct reasons.
DR. JHONNY SALOMON | FACE, NOSE | MIAMI/FORT LAUDERDALE
The best time to have a rhinoplasty is when you stop growing, which is usually around 14 to 16 years of age for most teenagers. The best way to know when you have stopped growing is when your shoe size has not changed in over six months. A rhinoplasty performed at this time will have a long-lasting result. Also, teenagers in that age range usually have enough maturity to make the decision — with the help of their parents.
DR. JASON BLOOM | FACE | PHILADELPHIA AREA
I do see several patients in my practice who are under the age of 18. This is because I perform only facial plastic surgery procedures, and a few of them are common for younger patients. In my practice, rhinoplasty and otoplasty are the two most common reasons that I see patients under the age of 18 for cosmetic procedures. There are a few things that these patients should know when they seek out cosmetic surgery. The first is that they are minors and will need a parent or guardian to attend the consult, pre-op meeting and surgery with them. They must have that parent or guardian sign all the informed consent forms with them for the procedures, so it is important to get that person on board with the idea. I actually really encourage anyone seeking cosmetic procedures to bring a family member, parent or significant other with them when we discuss the operation or do an evaluation so that everyone is on the same page and understands the risks, benefits and alternatives to surgery. I advise most minors to discuss what is bothering them about their face or nose with their parents prior to coming into the office. Additionally, during the consult, I always speak directly to the patient and not the parent. I have had situations where the minor says “They’ll tell you” and points to their parent, but I turn back to them and have them explain to me what is bothering them. Additionally, patients under the age of 18 are highly influenced by social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok and others. They may be requesting a procedure because their favorite social media star had something done and they want to look like them. It is critical to have a candid discussion about the limitations of surgery to make sure their goals are reasonable and obtainable. I often explain that not everyone’s nose is right for everyone else’s face; it has to fit and be harmonious with the rest of the patient’s features. Also, making sure that the patient’s expectations are realistic is very important. Surgery is not a robotic or mechanical process; it is literally a handmade operation, and a talk about working toward an achievable and natural outcome is imperative. Furthermore, minors sometimes have social reasons for wanting cosmetic procedures. Their peers may be teasing them in school about their nose or ears, and it is important to hear the stories about their motivations for surgery. Having discussions with the patient and their guardians will help everyone understand why they are looking to have these procedures.
BEAUTY
Finally, there are basic age cutoffs for cosmetic surgery procedures. In general, an otoplasty shouldn’t be performed before the age of 5 or 6. At that point, the child is of school age and the ears are about 85 percent of their adult size. Also, I typically do not perform rhinoplasty on boys younger than 16 or girls younger than 15. There are growth centers in the septal cartilage, and the nose is still changing until that age.
DR. ALGIE LABRASCA | BODY | PITTSBURGH AREA
I believe that there are only a few reasonable instances to perform actual cosmetic (not functional plastic surgery) in patients under 18 years of age. The most common of these on the face would be otoplasty, or ear pinning of prominent ears, and rhinoplasty, or nose job. For the body, these include correction of breast asymmetry or reduction of very large breasts or removal of breasts in males (gynecomastia). Each of these can be a major source of low self-esteem and depression, and correction of these issues can greatly improve this. When considering whether to perform surgery on a teen, I want to make sure that they know what they are getting into. This is an adult decision, and they have to be the one making it (with parental consent). I also have age limits. For example, I won’t do a breast reduction on anyone under 16, yet I won’t do a reduction on just anyone who is 16 if I don’t think she’s mature enough. Other common procedures, like liposuction, tummy tuck, or BBL, can wait until they are older.
DR. P. DANIEL WARD | FACE | SALT LAKE CITY
The decision to undergo cosmetic surgery can be a tricky one. One must be aware of all of the emotional aspects that can be associated with aesthetic surgery, especially when it comes to young patients who want to receive cosmetic surgery. The best advice that I feel I can offer to a young patient who wants to receive cosmetic surgery would be to talk the situation over with their parents, who should be able to provide proper guidance and advice. Two of the most common areas in for which young patients seek to undergo plastic surgery are an overly prominent nose or overly prominent ears, and these cases can serve as a good illustration of the complexities of the issues that arise with surgery for young patients. Both of these areas of the body can cause feelings of embarrassment due to the fact that a single anatomical area can lead to the emphasis being placed on that anatomic area instead of on the person inside. Most people think that those who undergo aesthetic surgery are doing so because they are overly concerned with how they look. In actuality, these patients ironically undergo aesthetic surgery for the complete opposite reason. They undergo the surgery because other people are not seeing who they truly are inside, because of the distracting nose or ears. I think that young patients should discuss these issues with their parents, who should provide guidance and help the patient understand the feelings and emotions related to the issue at hand. Parents need to be aware that there can be severe psychological distress from these features that far outweighs the risks of undergoing a rhinoplasty or otoplasty procedure that can resolve the respective nose or ear issues once and for all. On the other hand, parents also need to be aware that their child who is seeking cosmetic surgery is not doing it with unreasonable expectations that his or her life will completely change simply due to the surgery. The surgery simply addresses the overly distracting feature which should remove that obstacle from the patient as a source of anxiety or stress. This is clearly a complicated issue, and the patient’s hopes and desires for the procedure should be discussed with the patient, his or her parents, and the surgeon to help ensure that the patient is undergoing the procedure for health reasons. hauteliving.com/hautebeauty HAUTE LIVING

THE BEST OF PALM BEACH WHERE TO STAY AND PLAY IN THE LAP OF LUXURY IN ONE OF SOUTH FLORIDA’S HOTTEST DESTINATIONS. BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
The Palm Beaches — best known as “America’s First Resort Destination” — are comprised of 39 towns and cities, 47 miles of palm-tree-lined golden beaches and sparkling Atlantic coastline. The most glamorous is Palm Beach, a veritable playground for the rich and famous thanks to a slew of upscale resorts, exquisite estates, world-class shopping and historic landmarks. The Island, as it’s more commonly known, is rife with culture, chock-full of high-end eateries from the likes of Michelinstarred chef Daniel Boulud, and rampant with celebrities (Tony Robbins, Michael Jordan and Billy Joel are just a few) who dig the laid-back yet hedonistic vibe. We’re here to help you navigate the best of the best and let you in on the Island’s secrets.

WHERE TO STAY THE BREAKERS
Founded on the sands of Palm Beach in 1896, the Breakers continues to welcome guests with unapologetic luxury, seaside glamour and world-class service. Situated on 140 acres of oceanfront property, this Italian Renaissance-style resort, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is inspired by the magnificent Italian villas of the 15th century, apparent in its fountain, modeled after the one in Florence’s Boboli Gardens, and lobby influenced by the Great Hall of Genoa’s grand Palazzo Carrega. Guests can enjoy a fully equipped spa ideal for finding peaceful solace while traveling, four pools, a world-class private beach club, 10 restaurants, 10 beautifully groomed HarTru courts and two gorgeous golf courses. Every bit as splendid as the resort itself, with postcard-perfect views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Spa at the Breakers Palm Beach is a haven of tranquility and respite. Guests and non-guests alike are welcome to indulge in the spa’s wide range of treatments, which use brands like OSEA and Guerlain. For the ultimate in healing and relaxation, opt for the signature Rose Quartz Massage, a euphoric experience that takes place atop a bed of warm, flowing alpha-quartz sand. thebreakers.com
EAU PALM BEACH RESORT & SPA
The award-winning Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa has a brand new-look thanks to an extensive multimillion-dollar reimagination of its social spaces, including a variety of new food and beverage outposts and a reinvented pool experience, among other offerings. The resort tapped Palm Beach County-based interior design firm Bilkey Llinas Design to conceptualize the enhanced vision, which both pays homage to vintage Palm Beach and propels it into the future with forward-thinking sophistication. Highlights include the new pool area, which evokes a Riviera-inspired lifestyle with its landscapes that include lush palms, seagrass, palmetto and tropical floral; the adults-only Tranquility Pool has cold-pressed juices and imaginative cocktails on tap, and there are also all-new cabanas and daybeds. THE SPA
Make a wish upon arrival at the wishing well, then sip champagne and eat endless cupcakes before or after (or both) a treatment at this 42,000-square-foot oasis, which features a Self-Centered Garden, Scrub & Polish Bar, 19 treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room, lounge swings and more. eaupalmbeach.com

FOUR SEASONS PALM BEACH
The Four Seasons celebrates Palm Beach’s refined yet laid-back oceanfront lifestyle while encapsulating the timelessness that makes the area so appealing. As designed by Martin Brudnizki, this five-star resort is pure serenity, influenced as such by iconic photographer Slim Aarons, from cocktails and cabanas to redesigned guest rooms and — its crowning jewel — French Riviera-inspired restaurant Florie’s. THE SPA
Treatments at this five-star ode to indulgence include everything from Himalayan salt stone massage to nonsurgical lift facials featuring upscale skincare brands like 111SKIN and Biologique Recherche. Non-hotel guests can play VIP for a day with the Day Spa Pool & Beach Retreat package, which includes a selection of 50- or 80-minute spa treatments, a lunch credit, use of the spa’s relaxation areas and access to the resort’s two pools and private beach. fourseasons.com/palmbeach

Nantucket’s storied White Elephant Resort welcomed its boutique sister hotel in Palm Beach late last year. The new property, completely reimagined by Boston-based architecture firm Elkus Manfredi, represents the total renovation of the Bradley Park Hotel, which dates to the 1920s and is listed with the Landmark Preservation Commission. The 32-room and suite property, located on the corner of Sunset Avenue, retains the feel of a private residence thanks to a natural color palette that contrasts with the pinks and greens synonymous with Palm Beach. The Mizner-style facade is painted a light, creamy white with classic black-and-white striped awnings, charcoal-gray roof tiles and black trim that bring a fresh, sophisticated look to the classic structure. Amenities include an art collection exceeding 100 works, complimentary use of Priority Bicycles and BMW vehicles, and access to exclusive Barton & Gray yachts. whiteelephantpalmbeach.com
THE CHESTERFIELD
The Chesterfield is surrounded by palm-lined boulevards and elegant villas, just two blocks from the famous Worth Avenue and minutes away from the area’s signature white sandy beaches. Each of the resort’s 42 rooms and 11 suites has been individually designed with guests’ comfort in mind, with soft, tropical colors and whimsical stripes of powder blue and green apple. Its Presidential Suite is pure Palm Beach, with candy-colored pink and white stripes throughout. A must here is the resort’s Leopard Lounge, a stark contrast to the light tones found throughout the Chesterfield with its sultry interiors, black lacquer walls, leather-lined banquettes, striking leopard-print carpet and beautiful ceiling, hand-painted by celebrated local mural artist Lino Mario. The Leopard martini is a must. chesterfieldpb.com

THE BREAKERS OCEAN COURSE
Discover acre upon acre of lush green at the Ocean Course, Florida’s oldest golf course, nurtured by the Breakers for more than a century. In late 2018, the course emerged from a full-scale renovation by renowned architect Rees Jones. Inspiring players of all levels, it offers an extraordinary golf experience that honors its heritage and seaside location with contemporary playability. A mere 10 miles from the resort lies the Breakers Rees Jones Course, a stunning expanse of green dotted with blue ponds that caters to every level of golfer and provides multiple options thanks to its large fairways, challenging water carries, varied pin positions and five sets of tees. thebreakers.com
PGA NATIONAL RESORT & SPA
PGA National Resort & Spa’s multimillion-dollar renovation is underway. The transformation includes a complete redesign of its guest rooms and suites, lobby and lobby bar and two new signature dining experiences from South Florida’s Top Chef alumni Jeremy Ford and Lindsay Autry (also a James Beard nominee). The resort aims to become a 360 wellness destination by revamping its Spa at PGA, with interiors championed by Venus Williams’ firm V Starr Design, which will reimagine the 40,000-squarefoot space to include a salt room, among other offerings. Additionally, there’s a brand-new experience courtesy of Staples Golf that features an 18-hole course, the Match; a new par-3 short course, the Staple;a golf academy and more. Visitors can test their skills on the Champion, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course that features the infamous Bear Trap, one of the most daunting three-hole stretches in golf. Each year, top pros gather on this course to compete in the Honda Classic, a premier stop on the PGA tour. (This has been the permanent home of the tournament since 2007.) It doesn’t just stop with the Champion, though. PGA National plans to unveil two new golf courses later this summer, including the Staple, a brand-new par-3 short course, and the Match, 18 all-new holes designed with match play in mind. pgaresort.com
INTERNATIONAL POLO CLUB PALM BEACH
The premier polo destination in the world, the nearby city of Wellington hosts the largest field of high-goal teams and the most prestigious polo tournaments in the United States. Polo enthusiasts descend on the area each winter to enjoy their sport in the most prominent and well-equipped of polo facilities, which sees annual attendance by the likes of Team Black Watch captain Nacho Figueras. Never sat on a horse or picked up a mallet? No problem! Lessons are available for beginners up to experienced riders. Once you’ve practiced enough, you might be able to join a team and play in some low-goal tournaments. ipc.coth.com @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 107

After much anticipation, Le Bilboquet, a New York-born French restaurant with an A-list following, officially opened its Palm Beach location in February. Known as Bilbo by its elite New York clientele, the restaurant — on iconic Worth Avenue — features indoor and courtyard seating edged by an ivy-laced wall. It’s open for lunch and dinner daily, serving signature dishes such as tuna tartare and le poulet Cajun.

Florie’s by Mauro Colagreco, the flagship restaurant and bar at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, has launched its innovative new Botanical Guide, an artfully crafted collection, of floral-inspired and garden-driven cocktails developed by head mixologist Matthew Dress. Interlacing mixology with design, each of the 10 cocktails features a description in the collection accompanied by a hand-drawn illustration by illustrator and longtime Florie’s server Rick Jacobs. Inspired by chef Mauro Colagreco’s signature style of cooking, the menu uses house-made syrups, shrubs, bitters and garnishes, all exclusive to Florie’s. The cocktails highlight florals such as lavender, marigold, orange blossom, rose and thistle, while “soft cocktails” are rooted in herbs including basil and cilantro.

Worth Avenue, one of America’s most famous luxury shopping streets, has been dubbed by many as a “shopper’s nirvana” thanks to boutiques like Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Brioni and Gucci (with shop-’til-you-drop pit stops at fine-dining eateries like Bice or Ta-boo). Other enjoyable retail destinations include Royal Poinciana Plaza, which reimagines a 1950s architectural gem as a modern shopping oasis with brands like Alice + Olivia and Theory, as well as local shopping concepts like the Grand Tour by Caroline Rafferty, all surrounding a lush courtyard with water fountains.

Guests were welcomed into the ultimate summer haven adorned with lush greenery and greeted with Ruinart and Whispering Angel. As they indulged in welcome cocktails, they also received an exclusive look at Hublot’s watches on display, which were lit beautifully in glass vitrines throughout the evening celebrating the Hublot Loves Summer Series.

Rolls-Royce commemorates the legendary Captain George Eyston and his Thunderbolt with exclusive new limited-edition Wraith and Dawn models. ROLLS-ROYCE HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH WORLD SPEED RECORDS
on both land and water for more than a century. The British marque celebrates the records set by British engineer Captain George Eyston with two limited editions. Eyston used two Rolls-Royce R V12 aero engines in Thunderbolt to pursue his record-breaking endeavors in 1937 and 1938. Thunderbolt was powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce R supercharged 37-liter V-12 aero engines, each producing well over 2,000 horsepower. Only around 19 of these engines were ever made — they’re so rare that Thunderbolt’s engines had a previous career in the Schneider Trophy-winning Supermarine S6.B seaplane that would lay the foundations for the legendary Spitfire. Today, Thunderbolt’s two R engines are preserved at the Royal Air Force Museum in Hendon and the Science Museum in London. The car itself, however, has been lost. “It’s human nature to want to go further, do more, be greater than ourselves. The innate desire to extend horizons and define new limits is an instinct we’ve always understood at Rolls-Royce, and we have acted upon it once again with our new Landspeed Collection,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of RollsRoyce Motor Cars. “With this collection, we have revived Eyston’s memory and retold his remarkable story. Throughout Wraith and Dawn Landspeed, clients will find numerous subtle design elements and narrative details that recall and 120 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com
commemorate his amazing achievements, grand vision and exceptional courage.” In the Wraith Landspeed, the Starlight Headliner perfectly recreates the heavens as they appeared over the Flats on September 16, 1938, the date on which Eyston and Thunderbolt set their third and final world land-speed record. The constellations are precisely marked using 2,117 individually placed fiber-optic “stars” — the most stars in a Rolls-Royce Wraith Starlight Headliner ever. Wraith and Dawn Landspeed further pay homage with subtle detail in the driver’s door, made in the same grosgrain-weave silk and colors to match the original medal ribbons. The armrests on both the passenger side and below the ribbon detail are specially padded to give them the comfortable “club armchair” quality that Eyston favored in his driving seats (much to the amusement of his fellow racers). Production is limited to just 35 Wraith Black Badges and 25 Dawn Black Badges. The Wraith and Dawn are powered by twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 engines that deliver a total of 624 hp and 563 hp, respectively. With his vision, boldness, determination and genius for innovation and invention, George Eyston embodies so much of what makes Rolls-Royce unique. These cars are a fitting and long-overdue tribute to a truly inspiring character.

German luxury automaker Porsche introduces its fastest Cayenne yet, powered by 631 hp and a torque of 626 lb-ft. BY NIKITA VIVEK PAWAR

WITH EVEN SPORTIER LINES AND AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY
as a four-seater coupe, the Cayenne Turbo GT comes with outstanding driving dynamics and uniquely set up powertrain and chassis — the result is a harmonious overall concept with superb racetrack capability. Compared to the Cayenne Turbo Coupé, the Turbo GT rides up to 17 millimeters lower. Based on this, both the passive chassis components and active control systems have been reengineered and optimized for handling and performance. This includes a GT-specific front apron with a striking spoiler lip and enlarged side cooling air intakes, which create a unique front view. The carbon side plates fitted lengthwise to the roof spoiler are GT-specific, as is the adaptively extendable rear spoiler’s lip, 25 mm larger than that on the Turbo. This increases downforce at the car’s top speed by up to 40 kilograms. The rearview is rounded off by a striking diffuser panel made of carbon. They also feature specific calibration to guarantee perfect interaction. For example, the rigidity of the three-chamber air suspension has been increased by up to 15 percent, and the damper characteristics of the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and the application of the Power Steering Plus and rear-axle steering have also been adapted. The Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active roll stabilization system now operates with performance-oriented control software. The exhaust system, including the rear silencer, is made from lightweight and particularly heat-resistant titanium from the middle of the vehicle. Compared to the Turbo Coupé, the
front wheels are an inch wider. The negative camber has been increased by 0.45 degrees to give the new 22-inch Pirelli P Zero Corsa performance tires, specially developed for the Turbo GT, a larger contact patch. Braking duties are performed by the standard-fit Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system. Optionally available with paintwork in the new Arctic Grey color, the Cayenne Turbo GT underlines its exceptional athleticism through the outstanding features of its progressive design. The Turbo GT uses lots of carbon on the exterior and lots of Alcantara for the interiors. As before, PCM 6.0 is fully compatible with Apple CarPlay but now also allows for in-depth integration of Apple Music and Apple Podcasts. In addition, the infotainment system also includes Android Auto, which means that all popular smartphones can now be integrated. With the Turbo GT, the nextgeneration Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system is launched onto the market with improved performance, a new user interface and new operating logic. The Cayenne Turbo GT’s Biturbo engine is currently Porsche’s most potent eight-cylinder unit. The vehicle is powered by a four-liter Biturbo V8 with 67 kW (90 PS) more than the Cayenne Turbo Coupé and maximum torque of 850 Nm (an increase of 80 Nm). With an ability to sprint 0-100 km/h reduced to 3.3 seconds and to attain a top speed of 300 km/h, the Turbo GT takes about 0.6 less time and 14 km/h speed efficiency than its predecessor. This has been proven by Porsche test driver Lars Kern, who lapped the 20.832 km Nürburgring Nordschleife with the Cayenne Turbo GT in a time of 7:38.9 minutes, setting a new official SUV record. @hauteauto HAUTE LIVING 121

Each headlamp has digital light — optional equipment with a light module with three extremely powerful LEDs with light refracted and directed by 1.3 million micro-mirrors. The resolution is more than 2.6 million pixels per vehicle. The company previously announced the discontinuation of the V12 engine; however, the S680 seems lucky in that aspect. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter engine V12, which generates 621 horsepower (463 kilowatts) and 738 pound-feet (1,000 Newton-meters) of torque. This power propels the S680 to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds while maintaining a top speed electronically limited to 130 mph. This is also the first time for Mercedes-Maybach to have the V12 routed to all four wheels through Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel-drive system. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class can be ordered from 164,565.10 euros and is expected to hit the market in the first half of 2022.

MERCEDES AND MAYBACH HAVE A HISTORY OVER A CENTURY OLD.
The collaboration has resulted in the creation of impressive and powerful machines that have been a luxury statement. The latest iteration of the joint venture brings the individuality of Mercedes and the extravagance of Maybach — the Mercedes-Maybach S680 flagship model is a testament to exclusivity and tradition. “With the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, we are emphasizing the progressive, modern approach of its exclusive product portfolio shortly before the 100th anniversary of Mercedes-Maybach automobiles,” says Dirk Fetzer, head of Mercedes-Maybach product management. “As they did then, today’s customers have high expectations, based on the very latest technology. Especially with respect to comfort, safety and design, the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has unique selling features in the hotly contested luxury segment.” Distinguishing features at the front include the distinctive bonnet with a chromed fin and radiator grille with fine, vertical chrome pinstripes. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class also differs from its sister models when viewed from the side: it features a fixed quarterlight in the C-pillar. Exclusivity is emphasized by the Maybach brand logo on the C-pillar. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is particularly suitable for chauffeured driving. The wheelbase is 18 cm longer than the previous Mercedes-Benz S-Class, entirely to benefit the rear compartment. The focus is on the back area. This is underlined by even more refined appointments. The massage function of the calf rests on the executive seats is a new feature, and the first-class rear has been extensively

Supercar Aston Martin’s Valhalla hybrid concept car defines the mastery of driving. BY NIKITA VIVEK PAWAR
PHOTOS COURTESY OF ASTON MARTIN
VALHALLA IS THE LATEST AND MOST SIGNIFICANT PRODUCT TO COME
out of Aston Martin’s Project Horizon strategy. The car will broaden the model portfolio to reflect Aston Martin’s presence in Formula One®, set best-in-class standards for performance, dynamics and driving pleasure, and drive the transition from internal combustion to hybrid to fully electric powertrains. “Aston Martin’s first series production mid-engined supercar, Valhalla, is a truly transformational moment for this ultraluxury brand,” said Lawrence Stroll, the company’s executive chairman. “The launch of Valhalla demonstrates Aston Martin’s commitment to building a range of exceptional mid-engined driver-focused cars, a crucial next stage in the expansion of our product lineup. It seemed fitting to unveil this stunning track-biased supercar at the home of motorsport and the home of the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula OneTM Team, and marks Aston Martin’s return to the British Grand Prix for the first time in over 60 years, a true milestone.” With a mid-engined 950bhp gasoline/battery-electric powertrain, new carbonfiber structure and aerodynamics shaped by the pioneering philosophy first seen in the revolutionary Aston Martin Valkyrie, Valhalla will bring the perfect balance of hypercar performance and advanced powertrain, driving dynamics and uniquely sophisticated design materials to truly redefine the supercar sector. Valhalla is a formidable technological showcase built with chassis, aerodynamic and electronics expertise forged in Formula One® and a cutting-edge hybrid powertrain technology at its heart. Valhalla’s sole focus is immersing its driver in a new supercar experience. At the heart of Valhalla is its all-new PHEV powertrain, which features three motors. The foremost of these is a rear-mid-mounted 4.0-liter twin-turbo bespoke V8 engine. The most advanced, responsive and highest-performing V8 engine ever fitted to an Aston Martin features a flat-plane crankshaft for increased responsiveness. Revving to 7200rpm and developing 750PS, it sends drive exclusively to the rear axle. Exhaling through a lightweight exhaust system with active flaps for an adjustable and authentic Aston Martin sound character, it also features top-exit tailpipes to maximize visual and aural drama. Supplementing this new V8 engine is a 150kW/400V battery hybrid system utilizing a pair of E-Motors, one mounted on the front axle and the other on the rear axle. The electric system contributes a further 204PS for a headline combined power output of 950PS. Running in EV-only mode, Valhalla will be capable of a maximum of
80mph/130km/h and has a zero-emission range of 15km. “Valhalla is our first opportunity to really show what we are capable of in a true production sense,” said Ralph Illenberger, the company’s head of powertrain engineering. “We have created our own bespoke air-to-air charge-cooled, flatplane crank V8 engine and have combined it with a powerful hybrid system. And, of course, we also have our own bespoke dual clutch transmission, a first for Aston Martin and an essential component both for Valhalla and future Aston Martin models. The result is a truly world-class powertrain for an efficient, ultraperforming supercar.” With a target dry weight of less than 1550kg, Valhalla will have an unrivalled power-to-weight ratio compared to its class rivals. Benefitting from a flow-down of the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar’s Formula One®-inspired aerodynamic philosophy, Valhalla employs a combination of active aerodynamic surfaces — specifically the front surfaces and rear wing — and masterful management of underbody airflow through dramatic venturi tunnels. At 150mph, Valhalla’s meticulously sculpted aerodynamic surfaces generate an impressive 600kg of downforce, enough for strong high-speed cornering ability and unshakable stability. A distinctive roof scoop feeds air directly into the V8 engine’s intakes, with additional side and rear intakes and vents integrated smoothly into the overall body design. The luxury brand’s first series production mid-engined supercar will be available in both left-hand and right-hand drive, expanding its appeal across international markets. An innovative new Aston Martin HMI system features a central touchscreen display and incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s chief creative officer, Valhalla is an opportunity for the Aston Martin design team to express extreme performance with new form and proportion and to capture the brand’s bold future-forward approach. “When we created the Valhalla concept, we were keen to emphasize the design legacy of the Aston Martin Valkyrie, and that intent remains unchanged, but the execution has evolved considerably in order to reach production of this all-new car,” he said. “Though the legacy of Valkyrie is clear, Valhalla is now a more mature, fully resolved piece of design, one that combines the pure aerodynamic function you would expect from a marque competing in Formula One® together with the beautiful form, striking proportions and exemplary detailing for which Aston Martin is renowned.”

POWER OF +THE RELATIONSHIPS Braman Miami’s Mike Rodriguez on the importance of fostering relationships and embracing change in the industry to make a real impact. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE PHOTOGRAPHY NICK GARCIA SHOT ON LOCATION AT BRAMAN MIAMI
CARS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF MIKE RODRIGUEZ’S LIFE. IN FACT,
he has been working in the automotive industry for almost four decades. As general manager of Braman Miami, Rodriguez oversees a multi-brand campus with eight franchises with the mission to transform the car-buying experience into a solid relationship. Haute Living sat down with the Miami native to hear more about how he continues to evolve in the industry, how he is doing things differently at Braman Miami and the importance of embracing change.
Haute Living: Tell us how you got started in the automotive world. What drew you to the industry? Mike Rodriguez: I was a teenager looking for a part-time job after school. My best friend’s father was the general manager of a dealership, and he was kind enough to give me the opportunity. Once I was there, I was immediately drawn to the business. I have [enjoyed] it since day one. The interaction in the sales environment was appealing to me, not to mention the money they were making. I knew this was where I wanted to be. HL: In 2018, you had quite the homecoming back to Miami when you were offered the position at Braman Miami — was this always a dream you had? MR: Absolutely! This was my and my family’s dream. I would drive by with my wife and we would talk about it. HL: What is your day-to-day like overseeing a multi-brand campus? MR: My days are busy — an average day consists of multiple meetings and conference calls. I also make it a practice to connect regularly with my management team to review day-today operations. HL: How is the Braman Miami brand different? What do you do to ensure it stays unique? MR: Braman Miami is definitely its own brand. We maintain a professional environment across the board, from appearance to customer relations. We focus on the overall experience as we aim to create relationships, not transactions. HL: You’ve been in the auto industry for decades and have been recognized for multiple awards and achievements. How do you think the industry has changed? MR: I have seen the industry go from traditional to digital, and while certain aspects will always remain traditional, I recognize the consumer’s needs and try to cater to them. We are living in a world of instant everything, so my goal is to fulfill our customers’ expectations by being responsive and efficient. I am able to stay current with the times by constantly reviewing our processes to be sure we are always at the top of our game. I am a very adaptable person, and so I constantly remind my staff that integrity and adaptability is the key to a successful business. 124 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
HL: Why do you believe building relationships in the industry is important? MR: I believe in building relationships — and the car-buying experience truly is a relationship that starts with trust. And once that trust has been established, the relationship has to be maintained. This is where I’m happy to say that the longevity of most of our employees speaks for itself. Many of our customers have longstanding relationships with their sales and service advisers — it brings them comfort to deal with the same person each time they visit our showroom or service department. HL: What advice do you wish you could give to your younger self? MR: If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing. But, regardless of the industry, my advice to myself and others is that knowledge is power — learn a little bit of everything, and learn as much as you can. Also, some words that I live by and say to my kids all the time are: Be adaptable, and change is good. So embrace it and go with it. HL: What does the future hold for Braman Miami? MR: We look forward to continued growth and to further expand our presence across the county. We should also begin to see more EV vehicles soon, and we will find out how competitive they will be among the different manufacturers. As far as I’m concerned, the future is tomorrow, and every day is another opportunity to be better. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 125

Haute Residence: What are some of the projects you’ve worked on in Palm Beach? Todd Michael Glaser: I went into the market and purchased some landmark homes, renovated them, assembled a team of subcontractors, and once I felt comfortable, I started building. I did 125 Via del Lago, 1221 North Lake Way and 127 Dunbar Road, which are all landmark homes. I bought 127 Dunbar Road for $17 million and sold it for $27.5 million in under 10 months. The reason we’re renovating right now is to get products on the market. In Palm Beach, there are only about 18 listings right now, whereas there are usually about 190. So we decided to buy some properties in April and May that we could fix and have on the market by October 15 to capitalize on the upcoming season.

representative and business connoisseur. Starting his career as a fire sprinkler designer gave him a foundational understanding of building construction and developments, and now he sells multimillion-dollar properties, owns some of the largest real estate developments in South Florida, and has worked with A-list celebrities such as DJ Khaled, A-Rod, Lil Wayne, Chris Bosh, Hulk Hogan, Randy Frankel (owner of Tampa Bay Rays), Kevin Douglas (IMAX board member) and Stephen Levin (founder of Gold Coast Beverage Distributors). Though originally from Miami Beach, Glaser has most recently brought his expertise to the Palm Beach market — an area that has always been known for its beautiful estates, upscale resorts and palm-tree-lined shopping district of Worth Avenue. Since 2020, the real estate market in Palm Beach has grown rapidly. Whereas a decade ago a $20 to $30 million house was considered top of the market, that price is now considered average, with $100 million homes in the mix. “It’s a generational change in 2017 that I caught,” Glaser says. “A lot of stuff that had not come on the market for at least 50, 60, 70 years is starting to bubble up. They are big, 400 like Clematis expansive estates, and Miami Beach does not have that. The Palm Beach market, Tarpon Street, Ste 200 Island, really does not exist in Miami.” Tarpon Island is a one-of-a-kind private island estate a block from Worth Avenue that Glaser bought this year and is currently renovating and developing. It has only one singlefamily home, accessible via its own bridge. The home has 1,300 linear feet of waterfront and will boast almost 25,000 square feet once completed. It will be brought to market by Lawrence Moens and will be listed for sale as-is for $120 million. If the buyer would like Glaser to complete the renovations, the cost will be $200 million. Glaser recently sat down with Haute Residence to discuss his success in the new market, his favorite projects and why Palm Beach is stealing the limelight from Miami Beach.

HR: How has the real estate market in Palm Beach changed recently? TMG: The real estate market in general hasn’t gone up so much in the last 15 years, and I attribute a lot of it to what somebody’s net worth is versus what they’re buying houseBeach, Florida 33401wise — it doesn’t correlate. Before, people used to buy a $150,000 house and you were only making $30,000 per year — one-fifth that amount. However, to flip that ratio, if somebody is worth $3 billion, why wouldn’t they buy a billion-dollar house valued at around a third of their worth? The correlation is off. In 2001, we started seeing $3 million houses. In 20 years, pricing has gone up, but not as much as what people’s income and net worth have risen. The graph of people’s income and net worth is vertical, and real estate has seen a slow rise. I think real estate is way undervalued. But for Palm Beach, let’s go back four years. Four years ago, when I bought 125 Via Del Mar, Miami Beach and Palm Beach properties were actually the same prices. That shocked me. I paid $6 million for a property and we later sold it for $16 million. That’s what really caught my eye — I could finally buy in Palm Beach for the same price as Miami Beach. There have been eight singlefamily homes that have sold for over $100 million in the last 18 months in Palm Beach. It’s a new trend, and a $50 million house in Palm Beach is not that big of a deal anymore because the sale prices have gone up to $100 million. PHOTO COURTESY OF DAILEY JANSSEN ARCHITECTS

HR: What do you and your team hope to accomplish in the fourth quarter of 2021? TMG: We own several properties that can be sold as land, and we’re looking to see if we can sell them simply for an appreciated land value. There’s been a big increase in land values in the last six to eight months. There are a lot of people out there looking for land, and there’s nothing out there. We currently own a lot of property in Palm Beach. We’re also building some new homes, because there’s no inventory in Palm Beach. We’ve never seen anything like this.

HR: What makes Palm Beach better than Miami Beach? TMG: Palm Beach has the highest elevations on the east coast of Florida, and that’s why people picked it. The size of the parcels, when they were subdivided, was done in a resident-oriented way. They do everything for the residents in Palm Beach. On the other hand, Miami Beach seems to be increasingly catering to tourists. I’ve lived here my whole life and have watched the city grow out of its small beach-town environment and into this booming metropolis. It used to have small-town vibes where everyone knew their neighbors, but those days are gone. I’ve renamed Miami Beach the city of Miami Beach — it’s not a town anymore, it’s a full-blown city. So many of us are gravitating up to Palm Beach, and a lot of young families are moving there, which is fantastic.

Developments, started his love affair with England after participating with the team to arrange a serendipitous meeting between the legendary British automotive manufacturer Aston Martin and G&G senior management in London in 2015. Little did he know the meeting would give birth to the most prestigious real estate development in the world. German Coto, the head of G&G Business Developments and its CEO,, would work in tireless unison with Aljanati over the next two years to cultivate a long-term relationship with Aston Martin, whereby Aljanati would use his passion for British patronage and personable style to win over the management team in Gaydon and create long-lasting relationships with the company’s project manager, as well as with the EVP and renowned chief creative officer Marek Reichman, who would spearhead the project’s interior design. Leading the G&G team alongside Coto to develop an unmatched global real estate proposition with the world’s leading architects from Bodas Miani Anger and Revuelta gave the heads of Aston Martin the confidence to sign a formal partnership with G&G Business Developments in 2016. In October 2017, the project broke ground at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way, and Aljanati had already established himself as a major influencer in Miami’s real estate business, driving the historic story of British heritage and excellence in craftsmanship with the sales and marketing team from Cervera. One of his first moves and most successful accomplishments was to form a unique partnership with the Miami Dolphins — a partnership that was considered the first of its kind in real estate. Aston Martin Residences was overnight sensation, and major media outlets across the globe began reporting on the British icon of the automotive world embarking on its first real estate venture. Within the first six months of sales, the international community began to take notice, and buyers from every continent were keen to live the Aston Martin lifestyle. Aljanati’s subsequent and equally successful client-focused partnership was forged with the NBA Champion Miami Heat, during which he was able to secure numerous appearances with the team’s players at the sales center. His novel approach to marketing Aston Martin Residences created a series of what he calls “360-degree activations” for promoting each of the amenities featured at the property. For example, he tactically implemented integrated advertising, direct marketing, public relations, events and social media campaigns for the superyacht marina, with a private dinner courtesy of Zuma aboard the mega yacht Utopia 3; the Aston Martin Residences kitchen, highlighted by a press demonstration and private dinner with British chef Justin Brown; and the unveiling of the first Aston Martin DBX in the Americas with the British Consul General of Miami at the sales center. This would drive the necessary year-round awareness and exposure to support the sales operation.

Strategic media partnerships selectively chosen by Aljanati have given Aston Martin Residences a celebrity appeal through sponsored webinars broadcasted on Instagram with director Steven Soderbergh, actors Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston, legendary director Francis Ford Coppola and Miami Heat superstar Bam Adebayo. Using the visual arts as a theme to encapsulate the Aston Martin Residences lifestyle and promote the art gallery as an amenity, prompted Aljanati to create the idea of a virtual art gallery exhibition series on the Aston Martin Residences website. A cleverly brokered relationship with British musician, artist and photographer Julian Lennon launched the series which now acts as a platform to collaborate with popular and local artists, Aljanati blazes a trail in the real estate marketing world on behalf of G&G Business Developments with Aston Martin’s DNA running through his veins. With the sales of Aston Martin Residences surpassing 80 percent and the building’s construction topping off in November, this hand-in-glove partnership is increasingly revered, largely due to the unwavering fortitude and creative ingenuity of Argentina’s marketing marvel. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 129

cuisine, dancing and cocktails. Started in 2011 by longtime friends and restaurateurs Jean-Philippe Bernard, Paul Breuza and Michael Martin, Villa Azur was created to bring the French Riviera and sparkling Mediterranean lifestyle to Miami Beach. This fine dining restaurant combines music, dining, entertainment and art and is especially known for its Thursday night dinner party — the most glamorous party on the beach! Full of well-dressed servers, live music and impeccable bites, Villa Azur is the place to be when in Miami. The business has been rapidly growing in the past decade, leading to successful venues worldwide. The locations include Mexico City, as well as beach versions of Villa Azur in both Bodrum, Turkey, and Saint-Tropez, France, that are only open during the summer. Most recently, Villa Azur has expanded to the W Hotel in Dallas and is set to open this fall. Haute Living: What has contributed to the success of the Villa Azur brand? Villa Azur: Villa Azur is a place to celebrate — whether it is a new job, an exciting achievement, a birthday or just life in general. The core mission of Villa Azur is to wake up every morning ready to celebrate life and make it contagious. Every morning, each of us should wake up and affirm: “I am grateful for my life and my health. Today, I am celebrating life, walking out my door and inspiring everybody around me.” HL: What makes the restaurant and hospitality brand different? VA: We have a fresh and flirty vibe with a touch of whimsy. We transform a high-end dinner service into a vibrant atmosphere for patrons to socialize and celebrate the night away.

HL: Why was Dallas selected as the next place to expand Villa Azur? VA: When it comes to cities on track for continued global business success, Dallas is at the head of the class. Attracting multicultural interests daily, it’s among the country’s fastest-growing cities and ranks as one of the best places to live in America. Villa Azur in Dallas was simply an evident choice for an exciting and successful brand expansion. Texans are irresistibly friendly and down-to-earth, and we have been tremendously charmed by the diversity and the energetic, modern lifestyle the city has to offer. HL: How will this destination be unique from the others? VA: While the Miami location currently operates for dinner only, Villa Azur Dallas, located uptown at the W HotelVictory, will be open for dinner as well as breakfast and lunch. The location will also serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays in a lively atmosphere, true to Villa Azur’s glamorous vibe, offering guests a full fine dining experience.
HL: Will the chef be creating some specialty dishes unique to the Dallas location? VA: Dallas has a unique culinary identity, and we want to ensure we meet all of our future patrons’ expectations. Texans are notorious meat lovers, and as such, Villa Azur will be offering large cuts of meat, such as a 42-ounce tomahawk steak, braised short rib on the bone, and a 16-ounce prime New York steak, to name a few. The menu will also reflect the restaurant’s identity by offering many of Miami’s signature dishes, such as seared octopus, king crab, artichoke salad, truffle burrata, pates a la meule Cognac flambé, Dover sole meuniere, chateaubriand au poivre, whole roasted chicken and the best Nutella mousse you’ll ever have. Additionally, our executive chef, Carlos Torres, will be creating seasonal inspired specialty dishes with bold flavors to pair with our excellent selection of Perrier-Jouet champagne, Opus wines and a hard-to-resist cocktails list.

THE CHARITABLE GAME PHILANTHROPIST JAMIE TISCH ON CO-CHAIRING THE ASPEN ART MUSEUM’S VIRTUAL ARTCRUSH BENEFIT — AND WHY SHE’S DRIVEN TO GIVE BACK. BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
Haute Living: Tell us about your involvement with ArtCrush and what you hoped the event would achieve. Jamie Tisch: This year’s ArtCrush was a huge success, raising more money than ever before! I’m always excited to help raise money for the Aspen Art Museum. Outside of incredible museum programming, the institution has wonderful programing for schools in a 250-mile radius that would otherwise not have access to art. HL: Were there any specific pieces you had your eye on from this year’s live auction? JT: I am sad to say I was outbid on the Vaugh Spann, the Rita Ackerman and the Mary Weatherford. I have to up my game next year! HL: Tell us about the vision behind Pitkin Projects and what shoppers can expect. JT: [When I co-chaired the benefit], I was inspired and knew it was time to take on a new project. I reached out to Lisa Eisner, [Edie Parker founder] Brett Heyman, David Netto, Gregory Parkinson, Salon 94 Design, Meredith Darrow, Friedman Benda and many more incredible talents with the goal of fostering a collaborative design-concept gallery environment. The doors opened in July 2020 with a plan to continue 132 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
through Labor Day. We were overwhelmed by the reception! By the end of August, I decided that the concept deserved to live on as its own entity. HL: With travel on pause during the pandemic, how were you able to curate the global pieces for the shop? JT: Travel has been on pause, but artists’ work has not. I have worked via FaceTime with most of them, abroad and in the States. I am able to walk them through to show them how their work would live organically in our space. I have also been able to do many virtual studio visits, which has worked well. HL: Why do you give back? Why is it so personally important to you? JT: Giving back is extremely important to me and has been for decades. I cofounded the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, which is a program of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The WCRF mobilizes the influential entertainment community to raise critical funds. I am working on something new for WCRF that several Pitkin Projects vendors have said they would like to participate in. It’s still in the early stages, but I’m excited to have a way to combine two things that I care deeply about. HL: When did you start collecting art, and why? JT: I started collecting contemporary art when I moved to Los Angeles. It’s there where I met with some amazing artists who inspired me. Each showed me a different perspective on how to look at things and perceive art, everything ranging from my upbringing in the South to today’s current events. HL: What to you is the greatest luxury in life, and why? JT: The greatest gift in life is being able to travel and spend time with my family.
