CHEF MICHAEL MINA TAKES A DEEP DIVE INTO HIS EGYPTIAN HERITAGE FOR HIS LATEST CULINARY EFFORTS — SANTA MONICA EATERY ORLA AND HIS NEW COOKBOOK, MY EGYPT.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

PHOTOGRAPHY MARK HANSON SHOT

MONICA BEACH, SANTA MONICA, CALIF.

ersonal truth, just like personal taste, is subjective. Which is why, when chef and restaurateur Michael Mina set out on a mission to tell his story through cuisine, he had to do it his way — staying up until 5 a.m. in his native Egypt, drinking tea with local chefs, cooking in the dirt.

I’d say he dug deep and found what he was looking for, given that his journey has resulted in Orla, his Egyptian-Mediterranean fusion restaurant concept with two major openings last year — Las Vegas debuted in the spring, while Santa Monica just opened its doors on October 15 — as well as his October 8 cookbook release, My Egypt: Cooking from My Roots.

But neither Orla nor My Egypt is what you might expect. Traditional, they are not. But that’s par for the course when it comes to Mina, a chef who’s known for his constant innovation.

Over the course of seven trips to the Gift of the Nile, he sought to learn about his culture the best way he knew how — through its cuisine — and how to best apply it to his future projects.

“The menu I created at Orla is really the foundation of what I grew up eating,” Mina, 56, explains during our Zoom chat. “So, I took that foundation, be it falafel or feteer bread, tweaked it, and then the restaurant and the book became one and the same.”

He shares Middle Eastern delights like said falafel, a childhood staple (his mother’s being the best he’s ever had) was made with chickpeas, tahini, cucumbers, onions, parsley, vinegar, oil, salt, lemon, and diced jalapeños in his household. But in Egypt, it’s made with fava beans instead of chickpeas, which changes its profile. And so, at Orla, he dared to be different, too, going against tradition by adding ahi tuna into the mix and transforming his falafel into more of a crudo.

“This is one of those dishes that I’ve craved all my life, so in as much as you can say that this is a celebration of my heritage, it’s also truly food that I love to eat; it’s food that I love to cook,” he says, adding, “But this is my culinary experience.”

Meaning: this is why he couldn’t create a traditionally Egyptian menu. “Honestly, I would describe it as more Greek than anything else. When I was a child, I thought Greek food was Egyptian because there’s so much crossover. And so, the menu I created at Orla is really the foundation of what I grew up eating.”

That foundation allowed him room to grow and to draw from his inspiration during those seven journeys to the Middle East, inclusive of Cairo, his actual birthplace — which up until 2020, he had not returned to. But once he started uncovering his culinary connection to the past, he felt further compelled to see it through, finding it harder and harder to stay away.

Even in describing something as simple as fruit — he discovered 19 variations of mangos in his homeland — I see his excitement, a renewed passion for his lifelong purpose.

“You’ve got to move it forward,” he insists. “And the way to do that isn’t to throw away tradition, but to implement innovation and technique which is exactly what I’m doing.” To highlight this, he shares how he’s incorporated said mango, a product of importance in the local culture, in a surprising and non-traditional way (via a mango, avocado, and lobster

salad, topped with a mango, saffron, and yogurt dressing).

“That’s why I ended up going back so many times; I needed to discover things for myself,” he explains. “I only had my mom or my aunt’s versions of the things I grew up eating, but I never saw where they truly came from. So, I would sit around all night, just talking and cooking [with local chefs], and I’d learn about the past while also showing them ways to drive this [type of cuisine] forward. This food is the story of my life, and now, I get to share it.”

His résumé, as well as his past, is fascinating. Professionally, he has a wealth of experience to draw from, experience that includes formal schooling at the Culinary Institute of America; honing his skills at Charlie Palmer’s kitchen at the upscale Aureole in New York City; opening lauded San Francisco eatery Aqua with chef George Morrone; earning Michelin stars for his namesake Bay Area restaurant; and partnering with tennis pro Andre Agassi (they met at Mina’s restaurant before becoming friends and business partners) to form The Mina Group in 2002, which now operates over 30 restaurants worldwide.

But what, I wonder, made him do this deep dive into his native culinary culture now in particular? The answer: timing, plain and simple.

“I did my first restaurant, Aqua, in 1991. I was enamored by European cooking at the time and had just gotten out of culinary school and had worked at some great restaurants. Then, it wasn’t the right time to do something like this. Put it this way: you couldn’t even sell raw fish at that time because Nobu hadn’t decided to teach everybody in the world about sushi yet, you know? The world wasn’t quite ready for an Egyptian chef then. At the time, my only focus was on getting four stars, and I didn’t think it would be possible to do that with this kind of concept. Back when I started, that was before Michelin. Four stars was as high as you could get in the San Francisco Chronicle. There was only one four-star restaurant, and I wanted to be the second,” he shares.

Mina toed the line, he says, when he opened his steak and seafood concept Seablue in Las Vegas back in 2003. “It was Mediterranean, but not Eastern Mediterranean, though we did dabble in that space. But it wasn’t until I did a trip with my father through the Mediterranean about ten years ago that it really started to click for me. Middle Eastern, Israeli, and Lebanese food started to get popular. [Mourad Lahlou] had done Aziza in San Francisco, and that was Moroccan. At that point, I was thinking, I want to do this, but I really want to do it right, and I want the vision to really come through. So, I opened a test kitchen and created a place I called Middle Terranea there for four months, and that food was this food. People went absolutely bonkers over it. So, then I thought, OK, well, why don’t I turn [my flagship restaurant] Michael Mina, which had Michelin stars and everything, into a super upscale version of this and really go all out? Which we did, for a year, before the pandemic hit. At that time, [my family and I — wife Diane, and sons Sammy, 27, and Anthony, 23] moved to Las Vegas. I had already done a couple of the trips to Egypt, and I was starting to have a new vision in my head that I didn’t want it to be a restaurant that was stuffy or fussy; that wasn’t my long-term goal. This style of food is a celebration; you want it to be loud, you want it to be a party.”

BADAL (BOTTOM)

In both Las Vegas and Santa Monica — particularly the latter — this is apparent in spades. Dishes like Royal caviar fateer, comprised of Petrossian caviar, clotted cream, red onion, and dill; zucchini fritters with tzatziki, dill, and Meyer lemon; and whipped chickpea hummus served with extra virgin olive oil, za’atar, and foie gras are made to be shared, as is a giant kebab platter for two, full of filet mignon, kofta, and chicken dolmas, served with tangerine labneh and smoked eggplant dips. A new innovation, the Signature Spice Box, features an array of diverse flavors that capture the vibrant history of The Mediterranean Spice Trail, allowing Mina and his team to infuse every dish with rich heritage.

In Santa Monica in particular, the concept is particularly celebratory, in that it’s brought an upscale experience back to the SoCal beachfront that’s been lacking in recent years. The Regent Santa Monica Beach itself is gorgeous, but Orla — which I can only describe as luxury yacht dining is its star. The concept of the Mediterranean voyage becomes evident when you walk onto the yacht deck flooring, which features elements like a “king plank” through the center of the room. [The plank flooring by Maritime Wood is actually used on boats and yachts.] The banquette design language also speaks to luxury boat detailing with 3-inch-wide tongue-andgroove paneling, high-gloss black paint, and delicate brass metal detailing. Soft caramel banquette seating has contrasted piping and is accented with sage green inset leather tabletops, all leather sourced by Moore & Giles. The grand central bar is a feature piece with brass ornamentation and an enclosed stepped “hat” with a brass inlay starburst pattern on top, depicting an abstract compass that can be seen when standing on the upper floors. Custom Goodshop-designed fish and dessert carts rove from table to table, displaying the catch of the day or a custom sundae. A lower dining room showcases picture-perfect views of the beach.

But its most beautiful space, perhaps, is the “Octo” Room, which was built with Greek mythology in mind. The space has a custom fish and octopus mosaic floor meticulously handcrafted by SICIS in Ravenna, Italy, of which is comprised of hundreds of gorgeous stone mosaic marble cube pieces. Mirroring the mosaic on the floor is a beautiful, hand-painted octopus mural inset in the ceiling by Pretorius Studio; there’s also a large, driftwood sculpture with brass detailing by local California artist Joe Ferriso.

It’s no wonder Mina is so excited by Orla. “This location is stupid good — it’s spectacular,” he enthuses, noting that despite having the same name and a similar menu, his two Orla concepts have radically different feels. “The one here feels so Santa Monica. Do you know what I mean?”

I do. It’s airy, it’s light, it’s fun, it’s California. And though he’s now a Las Vegas resident, at this moment, Mina himself embodies that California boy vibe. At the time of our chat (in advance of the restaurant’s opening), he’s actually at The Regent, stretched out on a lounger, Zooming with me from his phone. He’s relaxed, having just spent the weekend with his friends, peers, and his new Orla Santa Monica crew at L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade, a culinary charity event benefitting the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and its fight against childhood cancer.

“We had a blast,” he enthuses. “I was like, this is the way it’s supposed to be. No fighting, nobody trying to piss on each other’s territory or any of that nonsense. Everyone working, everyone having a great time. So, I feel very good about what’s going to happen here.”

Especially, he says, because typical chefs don’t have the kind of longevity that he himself has. To be here, in this place, trying something new and exciting is everything. “There were a few of us hanging out and talking yesterday — Susan Feniger, Nancy Oakes, and more — and we were saying, Weren’t we all together here 20 years ago? Didn’t we all say we were getting too old for this two decades ago?”

He’s smiling, and maybe because while that might have been true in the past, now, he’s planning things smartly, strategically, and focusing only on

the things he’s truly passionate about, be it opening his first Bourbon Steak concept in New York at the newly opened JW Marriott Essex House, or partnering with elevated hotel brands, like Regent, Highgate Hotels, or the Four Seasons.

“We took three years off at Mina Group — but previously, we had opened five or six restaurants a year. Coming out of the pandemic, we really wanted to be focused, to streamline, to change Mina Group considerably. We took a break, built a team, and built technology, because the way I look at it, one and one makes three. So, we shrunk down the amount of hotel partners we work with, and we do more with less; we do more hotels with less partners. Now, we really get to focus on innovation, design, concept, and then operating.”

As much as he’s a creator and a chef, he’s also a businessman with a restaurant group to run, and, as such, these are all things he needs to consider. “Fortunately — or unfortunately — the business piece of the puzzle is very important. I have seen so many super talented chefs fail because of that. You have to be on top of everything. I mean, everyone expects you to know what to do when the toilet breaks. I’m like, I don’t know anything about toilets; I’m a chef. But they come to you for everything, and when that happens, you start to feel like you know more than you do, and that might get you in trouble in certain areas — and if you don’t get it right, you can screw up your whole business.”

There is no way Mina’s going to let that happen, not after he’s done so much — he’s previously had a Michelin star to his name, as well as a slew of awards such as Rising Star Chef of the Year (1997) and Best Chef: California (2002) courtesy of The James Beard Foundation, has been a featured guest chef at the James Beard House on numerous occasions, served as a judge on Hell’s Kitchen and Master Chef, has cooked for three U.S. presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama — and worked hard to make his latest concept — the newly opened Bourbon Steak at mentor Charlie Palmer’s old spot inside the Four Seasons Las Vegas — have the kind of success his other Sin City eateries enjoy (of which include the aforementioned Orla as well as StripSteak at Mandalay Bay, his eponymous eatery, Michael Mina, at The Bellagio, and Bardot Brasserie at Aria). He had to fight, tooth and nail, to make this career possible in the first place, so why wouldn’t he give each opening his all?

After immigrating from Cairo, his parents landed in the tiny, 18,000-person town of Ellensburg, Washington. Mina, who was only two at the time, was the only Egyptian kid around for miles, in a town whose claim to fame was hosting the second largest rodeo in America. Mina doesn’t ride horses, and he doesn’t wear ten-gallons. He rode motocross and was told by his traditional parents, Ezzat and Minerva, that he had three career options: being a doctor, a lawyer, or an engineer. Expectations of which, clearly, he defied. But again, his name is synonymous with doing the unexpected, going against the grain, and forging his own path.

“I knew what I wanted to do when I was 15 years old, but it took me until I was about 17 to get the nerve up to tell them. My dad was an internal auditor at Central Washington University and ran the business department there. When I told him I wanted to be a cook, it was the first time my dad ever got upset with me. In Egypt, being a cook is essentially like being a servant, and they had immigrated here to give us a chance. They were great parents — I couldn’t ask for better — but it’s just the culture that they were from. And so, it took a year to convince them to let me take time off college; they were so sure I was going to change my mind.”

Luckily, he did not — Mina stayed the course and stayed true to himself. And in the end, he got his just desserts, in more ways than one.

“They’re super happy now,” he confides, before adding with a fond smile, “Though my mom will still tell me when she comes into the restaurant and tries one of my dishes that we make it wrong.”

Not wrong mama Mina — just different — because this is Michael’s story alone, and he’s telling it beautifully in the way only he can.

THE HAUTEST NEW SPOTS IN SIN CITY

Our picks for the best new restaurants in Las Vegas.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

CASPIAN’S COCKTAILS & CAVIAR

Caspian’s Cocktails & Caviar feels like a saucy secret: you want to keep it, but you also must tell your friends. Clique Hospitality’s newest spot, located at Caesars Palace, is all about bringing that very vibe, from its secret passageway entrance, to a 1,100-square-foot, 50-seat caviar bar, to a 2,300-square-foot live music speakeasy, whose weekly music lineup showcases top touring artists and rising stars, as well as karaoke with a live backing band. The culinary offerings give a similarly playful feel, with flavorful bites such as crabby caviar tacos and mini-Maine lobster rolls; “The Whale,” two ounces of Imperial Golden Osetra caviar complemented by a bottle of Dom Pérignon; and “The Royal Flight,” six vodka shots paired with six caviar bumps. Caesars Palace, 3570 Las Vegas Boulevard S, Caesars Palace Dr, 89109

PINKY’S BY VANDERPUMP

Pinky’s by Vanderpump is Lisa Vanderpump’s third and most recent restaurant opening in Sin City. Coined after her nickname, “Pinky,” the eatery features decadent dishes that complement Instagrammable cocktails, bespoke Art Deco interiors (including a statue surrounded by gold chains and crystals), and an over-the-top, oversized tree that spans its glass conservatory ceiling. The cocktail menu pays homage to its home,The Flamingo, via lively libations such as Pump & Bump, a caviar martini served with a pearl spoonful of caviar, and Daddy Issues, a white peach French 75 topped with pink cotton candy. The culinary menu follows suit, featuring unique twists on classics, such as Pinky’s Baked Alaska, which, when cut, reveals three layers of pale pink and green Neapolitan semifreddo to complement the décor. Flamingo Las Vegas, 3555 Las Vegas Boulevard South Flamingo, 89109

AMAYA

There’s a new best Mexican contender on the Las Vegas Strip in Amaya, a cosmopolitan restaurant appropriately located at The Cosmopolitan. Under the direction of Michelin-starred chef Jason McLeod, Amaya focuses on Mexico’s rich flavors and communal dining traditions in a lush, tree-canopied space inspired by the tropics of the Yucatán Peninsula. Standout dishes include the surf & turf, which features an eight oz. wagyu filet and chili lime lobster tails, as well as ceviches, aguachiles, and tiraditos. The bar program showcases an extraordinary collection of aged tequilas and mezcals alongside inventive cocktails like Smoke & Mirrors, a mezcal concoction with a hint of chocolate. Evening entertainment includes DJs, dazzling live performances, and fire dancers. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, 3708 S Las Vegas Blvd, 89109

CARAMELLA

Tao Group Hospitality has done it again — and by ‘it’ we mean opening another surefire hit on The Strip. Caramella is part restaurant and part lounge, drawing inspiration from 1970s Italy. Upon entry, guests are taken through a velvet vestibule, where a Murano glass chandelier hovers in the sky, accompanied by glossy finishes and backlit onyx walls. There’s also a candy shop, stacked with Italian treats from top to bottom, and, behind a secret door, a kitschy lounge dressed in ‘70s wallpaper, leopard print fabrics, and geometric rugs with a mirror mosaic DJ. The fare is pure Italian, serving up pasta and Tuscan-style meats, which pairs perfectly with a creative cocktail list. Try the cool and fruity La Granita, made with Maestro Dobel Diamante Tequila, orangecello, grapefruit, lemon, and prosecco. Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, 3667 Las Vegas Blvd S, 89109

Ferrari Purosangue

BY TIM LAPPEN

I’VE OFTEN SAID THAT “FERRARI” MAY BE THE MOST-PERFECT HYPERCAR name — it even sounds fast and is fun to say, in whatever ersatz-Italian accent you can muster up. The same goes for the new Ferrari Purosangue, in which they built on the sonorous accolades from the brand’s illustrious heritage to name a vehicle that is so far from the normal vision of an “SUV” (much less a “minivan”) — with good reason. And to dispel any rumor that, as a four-door higher-profile vehicle, it’s not a “real” Ferrari, they used the Italian word for “thoroughbred” that literally translates to “pure blood.” Heck, they even came up with a new three-letter moniker: it’s not an SUV, it’s an FUV (don’t jump to any conclusions here as it stands for “Ferrari Utility Vehicle”).

Purists may say that to be a Ferrari, the vehicle has to be a sports car as anything else is pure heresy. Then again, purists used to say that a Betamax was the way to go before VHS obliterated the competition. Purists also used to say that a McIntosh stereo amplifier, at a hair under $2,000, was the only way to listen to music at home, even though only the family dog could appreciate the sound.

But enough about background and allusions. What’s it like, and is it true to its heritage? In two words: “bravissimo” and “abso-ferrari-lutely.”

Let’s start with the looks, as that’s what hits you first. Svelte with sinuous, wind-sculpted lines, clearly a performance look, accentuated by the lack of rear-door hardware (the rear-hinged doors, which open toward the back, are operated by a small switch at the top of the front beltline), which gives the Purosangue the look of a tall GT car. Ferrari has long offered two-plus-two vehicles, so the idea of a Ferrari for four is not new. The most recent iterations of the FF and then the GTC4Lusso showed that the Maranello Masters were very adept at melding form, performance, and comfort for a vehicle suitable for a small group of people. The Purosangue just took that heredity further, providing a vehicle that does not compromise on sufficient headroom nor on the front and rear seat space, but still looks terrific.

Of course, being a Ferrari, the car is a performer. A mid-front-engine layout for the impressive V12 motor (naturally aspirated, which means no turbo- or super-charger) portends great handling and superb acceleration, both of which

A wolf in wolf’s clothing.

this car has in gobs. Who but Ferrari would create an all-wheel-drive utility vehicle with 49:51 percent weight distribution? And lest we forget, the massively powerful motor can rocket the car to 60 miles per hour in just over three seconds (be careful not to test that when the boot is chockablock with groceries).

Handling? Yes, please. Again, the Purosangue delivers. This is a vehicle into which Ferrari clearly poured every trick in their book. High-end aero development focused on bodywork, underbody, and even the rear diffuser to handle airflow economically. Four-wheel steering for more alacrity around town and in the twisties, active suspension to better handle the vagaries of the road and allow for more dynamic cornering (the body remains almost flat in the turns and the tire contact patch is kept at the maximum) and a newly developed chassis and a carbon fiber roof make for a lower center of gravity. It will come as no surprise that technology designed for the 812 Competizione pays an active role (no pun intended) in the Purosangue.

Sound? Again, a decidedly strong “yes.” The notes from the professional “Burmester 3D High-End Surround Sound System” are purely recreated by ribbon tweeters (the first time they have been fitted to any production car) and the subwoofer in its own cabinet will get your body thumping. But, as this is V-12 Ferrari, I expect that the drivers will not use the entertainment sound system anywhere near as much as the right-pedal on/off switch for the real symphony coming from the orchestra under the hood. Look, I love electric cars as much as the next guy (well, probably more than some, less than others) but as Jay Leno likes to say, “There’s no replacement for displacement,” and never were truer words said than when referring to a motor that has 12 raging cylinders, with some 6,500 ccs of displacement and 725 cv (about 715 hp) of power. The exhaust note on this car is nothing short of symphonic.

I loved every minute I had with this car. The looks, the sound, the comfort, the performance — and did I mention sound and performance? — make for a terrific package. “Mine” was very well equipped, with a base price of $393,350 and a price as tested of $576,544. Ferrari clearly didn’t hold back when it came to the parts bin on this one. Such options as carbon fiber here, there, and everywhere, matt black/diamond-cut forged wheels, front suspension lifter (de rigueur if you don’t want a carbon fiber rhinoplasty courtesy of your driveway), special paint (Rosso Portofino on my test car and Grigio Titanio Metall on the model featured here), and more gave reason for the $183,000+ options total.

Driving the Purosangue is quite like driving a taller high-performance Ferrari sports car with terrific visibility and superior ergonomics. I found much to love about this vehicle and expect that it will do well in all markets. It’s the perfect blend of performance, looks, comfort, handling, and all around fun.

LVMH WATCH WEEK REWIND

LVMH Watch Week landed in New York this year, showcasing an esteemed repertoire of brands and their latest timepieces to kick off 2025. Discover the most impressive novelties from LVMH Watch Week ahead.

LOUIS VUITTON TAMBOUR TAIKO SPIN TIME

WHILE LOUIS VUITTON HAD QUITE AN IMPRESSIVE SHOWING, like the new Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence, the Louis Vuitton Tambour Taiko Spin Time really stole the show. The Spin Time, a complication uniquely associated with Louis Vuitton, has been a hallmark of the Maison’s haute horlogerie since 2009, when it was first developed by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. This innovative jumping hours display, inspired by the flap displays in airports and train stations, has now evolved into the Tambour Taiko Spin Time collection. This new line, entirely powered by in-house movements, introduces six limited-edition models that redefine the Spin Time with a fresh design ethos. The collection’s introduction marks a significant moment for Louis Vuitton’s watchmaking, showcasing a blend of tradition

and innovation with its 39.5 mm and 42.5 mm cases, the latter featuring an open case back to reveal the intricate in-house caliber.

The Tambour Taiko Spin Time not only revisits the origins of Spin Time but also pushes the boundaries with new technical and esthetic developments. The watches feature a patented three-dimensional jumping cubes display, now with subtly curved faces for enhanced light play, housed within a meticulously crafted Tambour Taiko case inspired by Japanese ceremonial drums. This case is a testament to the advanced skills of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, with complex finishes and integrated lugs that marry elegance with ergonomics. Moreover, the collection introduces groundbreaking complications like the worldfirst travel time display in the Antipode model and combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering in the Tourbillon variant.

DANIEL ROTH EXTRA PLAT SOUSCRIPTION

DANIEL ROTH CONTINUES ITS REVIVAL WITH THE EXTRA PLAT

Souscription, a limited edition of 20 pieces that pays homage to the brand’s 1990s origins with a new DR002 movement, crafted in 18k yellow gold with a hand-made guilloche dial, maintaining the iconic double ellipse form and traditional watchmaking techniques. This ultra-thin dress watch, echoing the simplicity and elegance of the original Extra Plat from 1990, combines historical design elements with modern mechanical innovation, developed by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.

GERALD GENTA OURSIN FIRE OPAL

THE GÉRALD GENTA GENTISSIMA OURSIN FIRE OPAL IS THE FOURTH watch in the series, blending Genta’s design legacy with vibrant esthetics. It features 137 individually screwed fire opals set around a 36.5 mm yellow gold case, complemented by an orange cornelian dial. This limited-edition timepiece, inspired by a sea urchin spotted during a 1994 vacation in Corsica, pays tribute to Genta’s passion for exquisite stones and his intuitive design approach.

TAG HEUER FORMULA 1 CHRONOGRAPH

THE FOCUS THIS YEAR FOR TAG HEUER IS CLEAR: IT IS ALL ABOUT Formula 1. On the heels of the exciting announcement in January that TAG Heuer would return to F1 as the Official Timekeeper, the brand is going all-in on its legacy at F1 as they introduced five new additions (four chronographs, to be exact) to its renowned Formula 1 collection. The highlight is the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph x Oracle Red Bull Racing, crafted with a grade-2 titanium case and a forged carbon bezel. Its blue opaline dial with a checkered flag pattern captures the spirit of F1, complete with Oracle Red Bull Racing’s iconic colors. This special edition celebrates the thrill of racing and the successful partnership between TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing, which has produced eight exclusive timepieces since 2016.

HUBLOT BIG BANG TOURBILLON AUTOMATIC GREEN SAXEM

NEW CEO JULIEN TORNARE IS LASER-FOCUSED ON HUBLOT’S DNA of being unconventional and working outside the conformed boundaries of watchmaking. Case in point: the new Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green Saxem. A limited edition of 18 pieces, the watch showcases a pioneering use of SAXEM, a material akin to sapphire but with vibrant color capabilities. The emerald-green transparent case houses the MHUB6035 self-winding tourbillon movement, developed in-house, with a 72-hour power reserve.

TIFFANY & CO. BIRD ON A ROCK TSAVORITE WATCH

LEVERAGING ITS 187-YEAR LEGACY, TIFFANY & CO. CONTINUES TO INNOVATE WITH the Jean Schlumberger watch collection, where the emblematic Bird on a Rock, first introduced as a brooch in 1965, is reimagined with a diamond-encrusted bird that spins freely on the dial, crafted through a meticulous process involving hand-sculpted gold, diamond setting, and a pink sapphire eye, embodying Schlumberger’s vision of whimsy and movement. The Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Bird on a Rock Tsavorite Watch features a 39 mm case with 413 round brilliant diamonds and a rotating outer ring set with 36 baguette tsavorites of 5.4 total carats, including a self-winding Swiss movement and a dark green alligator strap with a diamond-set T buckle.

BVLGARI LADY SOLOTEMPO BVS100 AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT

AT BVLGARI, THINGS GOT TECHNICAL THIS YEAR AS THEY UNVEILED A BRAND NEW movement, the Lady Solotempo BVS100 automatic movement. After years of meticulous development, this new iteration showcases the brand’s watchmaking expertise, perfectly fitting within the iconic Serpenti head design. This compact movement, measuring 19 mm in diameter and 3.90 mm thick, offers a 50-hour power reserve, enhancing the versatility of the Serpenti collection while solidifying Bvlgari’s reputation in high-end horology and within the LVMH family.

ZENITH CHRONOMASTER SPORT RAINBOW

THIS YEAR MARKS ZENITH’S 160TH ANNIVERSARY, AND CEO BENOIT DE CLERCK HAS MANY surprises up his sleeve. To kick off this monumental year, Zenith has introduced the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow, which is crafted from 18k solid white gold and features 50 baguette-cut gemstones. The 41 mm case is adorned with a subtle rainbow bezel and hour markers composed of 40 vibrant sapphires, totaling approximately 3.9 carats. Additionally, the watch showcases 10 baguette-cut diamonds, amounting to around one carat, on the 1/10th of a second frequency chronograph. This piece is testament to Zenith’s mastery of gem-setting and high-frequency watchmaking.

IT’SAPRÈS SEASON!

THESE ARE THE

BEST WINTERTIME DESTINATIONS FOR THE LUXURY-LOVING SKI SET.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

THE DOLOMITES AMAN ROSA ALPINA

Head to the Italian town of San Cassiano, a classic resort in The Dolomites with an alpine twist that also doubles as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Skiing and pampering are at the forefront here at the Aman Rosa Alpina hotel, which, though it officially opened its doors in 1939 simply as Rosa Alpina, is reopening this year with a massive refurbishment as a fully-fledged Aman. Architectural enhancements to the exterior of the hotel and interior communal areas now allow for a more diverse and extensive culinary offering with the addition of private dining spaces for intimate celebrations, while the wellness area has almost doubled in size and provides an entirely new spa menu. The redesign, overseen by longtime Aman collaborator Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects (who most recently masterminded the monumental transformation of the Crown Building to become Aman New York), includes a remodel of all 50 rooms and suites, the top of which are two 1,615-square-foot presidential suites and the 3,015-square-foot Chalet Zeno, a private refuge accommodating up to six guests. Strada Micurà de Rü, 20, 39036 San Cassiano BZ, Italy

ST. MORITZ GRAND HOTEL DES BAINS KEMPINSKI

There is no doubt St. Moritz is the most stunning and most glamorous mountain setting of the Swiss Alps, transforming into a snow-covered wonderland each winter as it hosts the Snow Polo World Cup and fellow horse race White Turf. Here, there are two villages: Bad, near the town’s center, and Dorf, located by the region’s thermal springs. The latter is for those who want to shop and après minus the skiing while those looking for a quieter, more private getaway should stay at Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski, located at the foot of the Signalbahn cable car and the legendary Hahnensee ski run, which offers access to the ski in/ski out to Corviglia and Piz Corvatsch ski areas. The 196-room property, open since 1864, is home to three awarded restaurants, inclusive of the Michelin-starred Cà d’Oro and the Italian gourmet Ristorante Da Adriano with 14 Gault Millau points. The luxury experience is completed by its Alpine Spa and its purifying Mauritius spring water, four different saunas, steam bath, laconium, atmospheric indoor pool and heated outdoor pool, gym, Kneipp baths, and alpine garden, in-house ski school, and appropriately-named nightlife venue, Billionaire. Via Mezdi 27, 7500 St. Moritz, Switzerland

VERBIER W V ERBIER

For those seeking some of the most challenging backcountry skiing (and one of the longest ski run in the world), head to Verbier. The crowd, a posh mix of British Royals and wealthy Europeans, converges here for the upscale vibe and the area itself: smack dab in the midst of 4Vallées (comprised of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, and Thyon). For a stay that’s truly both fun and luxurious, check in to the W Verbier, which offers ski in/ski out access, just steps away from the main Verbier lifts. The property is home to 123 rooms and suites, each of which has a fireplace and private balcony, making it the perfect spot for an intimate escape after a full day of powder. This 5-star property offers a wide range of culinary options, including a tapas bar and mixology experiences at the brand’s signature W Living Room. Guests can unwind in a 14,000 square-foot Alpine oasis, which features two pools, nine treatment rooms, and the brand’s signature gym — FIT. The hotel also offers W’s renowned Whatever/Whenever service, but also uniquely provides a dedicated W Mountain Concierge that will provide exclusive access to all experiences on and off the slopes, from your first snowboard lesson to a heli-skiing adventure. On-property wellness experiences are pretty amazing as well, too, ranging from yoga with former Freeride World Tour snowboard champion Emilien Badoux to one-on-one fitness with an in-house biomechanics coach.

ZERMATT MONT CERVIN PALACE

This stunning Swiss alpine mountain town is a must for skiers in that it features the highest-altitudes pistes in Europe, just below the iconic, pyramid-shaped Matterhorn peak. Here in Zermatt, you’ll also find the highest cable car station in Europe with views of both the Swiss and Italian Alps, and the Gornergrat, a mountain panorama with glorious views of the Matterhorn. Luxury lovers will like it, too, as its main street — Bahnhofstrasse — is liberally dotted with high-end boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and luxury hotels. On that front, our pick is Mont Cervin Palace — often referred to as the ‘Grande Dame of Zermatt’ due to fact that it opened its doors in 1853 — that offers the best of both worlds as it is actually located on Bahnhofstrasse. When you’re not on the slopes, there’s an endless amount to do here, be it dining at its Michelin star restaurant, Ristorante Capri, drinking at Joseph’s Bar and the Bar at the Petit Cervin, or relaxing at Spa Nescens. Bahnhofstrasse 31, 3920 Zermatt, Switzerland

GSTAAD THE ALPINA GSTAAD

Switzerland is so good for skiing that we had to feature another Swiss locale in Gstaad, an upscale resort town in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps. Its breathtaking views, sublime skiing, and prestigious international boarding schools have long made it a holiday destination for royalty and celebrities. Both can be at The Alpina Gstaad, a five-star, eco-friendly hotel known for its mindful, conscious, and responsible luxury. Classically carved ceilings and timber-clad walls create a cozy feel when coupled with leather headboards, Swiss farmhouse-style cupboards and chests, and décor such as the traditional leather straps used to hold cowbells an iconic image for Gstaad. The property also features the Michelin star restaurant Martin Göschel, which features a French-based cuisine that incorporates local and regional ingredients from the Saanenland and 400 rare vintages of wine, as well as Megu, a restaurant from Sushi Master Tsutomu Kugota. It is also home to a Six Senses spa, which, for those in the know, offers an intuitive mix of science and human awareness that is both high-tech and high-touch. Alpinastrasse 23, 3780 Gstaad, Switzerland

The Alpina Gstaad

COURCHEVEL HÔTEL BARRIÈRE LES NEIGES

Moving on, let’s head to the French Alps ski resort of Courchevel, located in the Tarentaise Valley — part of Les Trois Vallées, the largest linked ski area in the world known for hosting the 1992 Winter Olympics and the 2023 World Ski Championships. It is also home to one of the largest concentrations of 5-star luxury hotels in Europe. Our pick is the ski in/ski out Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges, a boutique offering from the prestigious Barrière Group that is small but mighty, with just 22 rooms and 20 suites, all of which have a refined style, warm atmosphere, and breathtaking views of the peaks. New for winter 2025, the property has debuted a glorious new two-story restaurant in Loulou, a celebration of Savoyard culture with beautiful views of the snow-covered Bellecôte run. The eatery also highlights cuisine from the neighboring Italian Alps, with menu items like truffle pizza and pasta al pomodoro by day, and by night, transforms into a DJ-focused party spot. The property also unveiled a collaboration with renowned beauty expert Elodie Raheria in its Biologique Recherche spa. 422 Rue de Bellecôte, 73120 Courchevel, France

MEGÈVE L’ ALPAGA, A BEAUMIER HOTEL

Megève, a ski resort village in the Mont Blanc massif of the French Alps, is known for its downhill runs, snow parks, and crosscountry trails as well as its idyllic, vintage vibe — due in part to the medieval, cobblestoned streets of its center. Stay at l’Alpaga, the only resort in Megève to offer views of the Mont Blanc. It, too, is tiny, with just 22 rooms — all decorated in a contemporary alpine style, highlighted by wood, stone, flannel curtains, cashmere rugs, and faux fur. Stay in one of six private chalets, which come complete with fireplaces, fully equipped modern kitchens, and private gardens. Don’t miss La Table de l’Alpaga, a Michelin-star eatery courtesy of chef Antony Bisquerra; SPA de l’Alpaga, a quiet heaven of tranquility and well-being featuring a gym, hammam, a leisure pool with massage jets and a bubble couch, and a new outdoor pool. Outside, enjoy the Scandinavianstyle sauna and heated bath overlooking the Mont Blanc. 66 All. des Marmousets, 74120 Megève, France

L’ Alpaga, A Beaumier Hotel

JACKSON HOLE CALDERA HOUSE

Jackson is a town in Wyoming’s Jackson Hole valley, home to three ski areas: Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Snow King Mountain Resort, and Grand Targhee Resort. It’s known for its party vibe and great runs on the peaks of the Grand Teton National Park, as well as its proximity to Yellowstone National Park. Stay at Caldera House, an all-suites, ski in/ski out hotel with a private members club in the heart of Teton Village at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Its exclusivity was the intention of owner Wes Edens, also known as the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks and one of the co-owners of Cincoro Tequila, who enlisted the help of friends and co-owners Michael Novogratz, David Barry, and Randal Nardone to create an unmistakably luxurious property. Award-winning design studios Commune and Carney Logan Burke designed this eight-suite hotel with state-of-the-art kitchens, modern fireplaces, private outdoor balconies, heated bathroom floors, steam showers, soaking tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning mountain views. Stays include a dedicated concierge, access to the member’s lounge and spa, custom bootfitting and ski-tuning, demos at the on-site ski shop, and ski-valet; a spa that features an infinity hot plunge, dry sauna, and state-of-theart fitness/yoga studio; three distinct restaurants; and a private bar and lounge. 3275 Village Dr, Teton Village, WY 83025

JACKSON HOLE FOUR SEASONS RESORT & RESIDENCES JACKSON HOLE

Nestled in a verdant mountain valley, the upscale yet locationappropriate Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole is surrounded by some of America’s most rugged peaks, celebrated ski runs, and wildlife in nearby Grand Teton National Park. Standout offerings from this high-end hotel include the arrival of 80 Proof, an elegant speakeasy influenced by the American frontier with an elegantly tiled bar, leather chairs, damask wallpaper, accents of brass, playful maroon-plaid carpeting, and a custom toile wall covering; the mountainside First Chair grab and go market — aptly named for the sought-after “first chair,” when a ski resort opens for the day; a complete renovation of its signature 4,355-square-foot, five-bedroom Granite Residence; and the newly repositioned member’s lounge, allowing for ski-in/ ski-out access, culinary and après offerings, and an expanded Mountain Club Membership program. The hotel also offers unique excursions, inclusive of an immersive adventure by private plane to scout the elusive grey wolf population in nearby Yellowstone National Park, and a discovery of said park’s geographic and geothermal features, such as Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic, and Yellowstone Grand Canyon. 7680 Granite Loop Rd, Teton Village, WY 83025

ASPEN HOTEL JEROME, AUBERGE RESORTS COLLECTION

Aspen is the premiere ski resort in America — due in part to the ski runs themselves, and in part because of its massive celebrity following. On any given day, one might see some of Hollywood’s finest strolling through town in their fur parkas, on the slopes, indulging in some après at Casa Tua, The Snow Lodge, or Catch Steak, or fine dining at Matsuhisa, Bosq, or Element 47. This winter, the culinary greatness carries over to Hotel Jerome, which has unveiled a collaboration with Taikun Sushi at its underground bar Bad Harriet in its Taikun x Bad Harriet omakase experience. Aspen’s first luxury hotel — a 134-year-old landmark that is part of the National Register of Historic Places — also boasts the lauded Aspen institution J-Bar; après-ski favorite, the Living Room bar and lounge; an award-winning spa; state-of-theart fitness facilities; a ski concierge; and an outdoor pool and hot tub. 330 E Main St, Aspen, CO 81611

WHISTLER BLACKCOMB FOUR SEASONS RESORT WHISTLER

Whistler, located in Vancouver, British Columbia, is home to Whistler Blackcomb, which offers excellent skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, tobogganing, ski jumping, and more at the Olympic Park, home of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Our hotel pick is the stunning Four Seasons Whistler, North America’s largest ski resort, which offers some of the largest, most luxurious hotel rooms in this chalet-style village. Its décor can be described as modern-rustic, with rooms that feature stone, dark wood, and gas-burning fireplaces, of which are complemented by views of snow-capped mountains. There is also a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, and, new for winter 2025, a Moët & Chandon après experience, inclusive of a champagne vending machine. 4591 Blackcomb Way, Whistler, BC V8E 0Y4, Canada

NISEKO, JAPAN SETSU NISEKO

The Niseko area of Japan has also made our hit list for the best places to ski in the world. Located on Japan’s northern island prefecture of Hokkaido, a two-hour drive away from Sapporo, this area is known to have the world’s best powder throughout the winter months. Stay at Setsu Niseko, which was voted the ‘World’s Best New Ski Hotel’ at the World Ski Awards last year, a hotel with 190 luxury suites encompassing a beautiful synthesis of Japanese design with easy access to the Grand Hirafu Ski Resort. Highlights include Tempura Araki, the sister restaurant to Sapporo’s two-Michelin star eatery of the same name; méli mélo -Yuki No Koe - an exciting culinary collaboration by chef Hironori Sato and Masaya Ishii; and Rikka Spa, a collaboration with Lapidem Tokyo centered on Eastern medicine.

The school of LOUIS VUITTON

For the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2025 collection, Nicolas Ghesquière teaches us a lesson in femininity where structure meets fluidity, texture dances with print, and tailoring is reimagined through a lens of retro-futuristic influences.

LOUIS VUITTON AND RENOWNED CONTEMPORARY ARTIST TAKASHI MURAKAMI MARK THE 20 TH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR ICONIC COLLABORATION WITH A GLOBAL RE-EDITION LAUNCH THAT TAKES SHAPE IN ACTIVATIONS HONORING THE LEGACY OF THIS UNPARALLELED PARTNERSHIP.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

Two decades after their landmark partnership, Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami reunite with a re-edition collection encapsulating the essence of their original collaboration. This union of Louis Vuitton’s commitment to creativity and Murakami’s vibrant, imaginative world, marked by his fusion of Japanese art, sci-fi, and kawaii culture, brings over 200 pieces that resonate with joy and artistic innovation.

The collection revisits and reimagines Murakami’s reinterpretation of the Louis Vuitton Monogram, introducing the Monogram Multicolore in 33 bright colors across an array of signature Louis Vuitton pieces, from the Keepall to the Speedy. Each product leverages advanced technology for sharper prints and richer colors, showcasing Murakami’s characters with unprecedented detail. Highlights include the playful LV Hands on the Alma BB bag, the Superflat Panda on various accessories, and the enchanting Cherry Blossom motif on the Papillon bag.

This re-edition not only honors the past but also embodies the enduring creative dialogue between Louis Vuitton and Murakami, transcending trends and generations.

New York is among the seven global cities to host immersive Louis Vuitton x Murakami events, alongside London, Milan, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo.

In the heart of SoHo, Louis Vuitton has inaugurated a pop-up to commemorate the re-edition of the iconic Louis Vuitton x Murakami collaboration. Inspired by Tokyo’s modular hotels, the space is segmented into themed areas, each vibrant and purposeful, connected by a sleek central corridor.

The retail area showcases the new Chapter One collection, featuring the Monogram Multicolore, Superflat Panda, and Superflat Garden. Purchases grant access to a unique vending machine, dispensing exclusive Louis Vuitton x Murakami collectibles. An exhibition section pays homage to the original collaboration, displaying historic pieces like the Eye Love Monogram and Monogram Blossom, offering a glimpse into the creative breadth of the initial partnership.

Sustainability and heritage are at the forefront with a dedicated care station for original pieces, where services range from cleaning to restoration, all observable in real time. The cinematic journey into the collaboration’s history is enhanced by a cozy downstairs cinema screening remastered versions of the Superflat Monogram film and Superflat First Love, where Murakami’s characters guide viewers through fantastical narratives inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

Completing the experience, a café adorned with Murakami’s floral motifs opens for the first weekend, offering a menu of artisanal beverages and panda-shaped pastries served in custom-designed Louis Vuitton x Murakami cups.

In Milan, Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami transform urban travel into a moving art exhibition, with two trams — one hosting a unique café experience and the other a miniature cinema — circulating the city, showcasing the vibrant synergy of fashion and art. Also, the Louis Vuitton Rome Etoile store offers a permanent cinematic journey into the world of Takashi Murakami with screenings of the Superflat movies in a dedicated cinema space.

The Harajuku pop-up in Tokyo — Murakami’s hometown — stands as the largest and most immersive Louis Vuitton x Murakami activation worldwide, redefining the boundaries between art, fashion, and cultural experience.

Beyond a pop-up in Dosan, Seoul enriches the Louis Vuitton x Murakami celebration with the Dodo ice cream shop, where guests can enjoy themed treats and the interactive Picdot photo booth experience.

Shanghai’s Julu Road transforms into a vibrant hub of art and fashion with three distinct Louis Vuitton x Murakami pop-ups: a café adorned with a Superflat Garden facade, a retail space showcasing the Monogram Multicolor, complete with archives and a vending machine, and a cinema further down the street.
