MR BRAINWASH IS A WHIRLWIND OF ARTISTIC ACTIVITY AS HE LAUNCHES A TWO-YEAR EXHIBIT AT LA’S PETERSEN AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM, HITS F1, AND TAKES ON GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

PHOTOGRAPHY OLIVIER MASTEY

SHOT ON LOCATION AT THE PETERSEN MUSEUM, LOS ANGELES, CALIF.

ife is Beautiful” is the phrase that has come to define Thierry Guetta. It was the title of his first solo exhibition as pop artist and icon Mr Brainwash in 2008, and it has followed him from the sidewalks of Beverly Hills and Sunset Boulevard to an abandoned warehouse in New York City’s Meatpacking District to the sultry shores of South Beach in Miami and more. It is the phrase that, when coupled with a transcendent turn in the Banksy-directed documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, catapulted him from an unknown street artist into an internationally recognized phenomenon. And I now know his secret — how Monsieur Brainwash manages to maintain such unflagging optimism and a consistently rose-colored view of an imperfect world.

“I think I will be a kid forever,” Guetta declares on a Sunday afternoon from Los Angeles’ Petersen Automotive Museum, where he is putting the final touches on his latest major exhibit, “Cars Are Beautiful: Mr Brainwash @ the Petersen.” At this moment in time, he is a mere week away from its November 23 debut in the museum’s coveted, ground floor Armand Hammer Foundation Gallery. As he roams around the gallery, he continues to speak, saying, “I am 58 years old, and to me, ‘old’ is just a word. Age exists in your heart. You can be 80 years old and be young, just like you can be 30 years old and be old. It’s how you accept life.”

Anyone who knows Guetta knows exactly how he lives his life. How could they not? It’s emblazoned upon every piece of his artwork, and in the gigantic, ever-present smile that his long, dark beard can’t conceal. “My whole life is based on ‘life is beautiful!’ Love is the answer. Never, never, never give up; follow your dream, and keep smiling. This is my way.”

And now, it’s his way or the highway, as it were, given that he’s taken his view on life and applied it to automobiles for the Petersen, a nonprofit organization and museum specializing in automobile history, located in LA’s Miracle Mile neighborhood. “Cars Are Beautiful” focuses on the auto as a subject of contemporary art, highlighting it as a populist symbol of American life; a machine that ignites the imagination and sparks joy, complete with art-inspired vehicles, specially created pieces, and autofocused paintings and sculptures. It’s going to bring some fun and whimsy to the hyper-focused museum for the next two years; a true coup.

And Guetta definitely had fun (as he always does) crafting large-scale replicas of Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini supercars. “I like giant things,” he explains, “because when I’m next to them, I become a little kid. I’m small in this large room, with these big objects.”

He slowly walks around the space, giving me the grand tour. I still see the glee in his eyes behind his dark-lensed sunglasses as he pauses to puff from a vape. There is a car bed in a Van Gogh-inspired room, and a Batmobile, driven by Pablo Picasso. Car Tower is stacked with a Porsche at the base, representing Brainwash himself, then a Mercedes-Benz that pays homage to Van Gogh; a Ferrari rests on top, representing the “pinnacle of aspiration and speed.” There is The Thinkcar, a Mr Brainwash interpretation of the iconic Thinker sculpture by Auguste Rodin; a furry Fiat; a cardboard Bugatti; Big Little Car, a nostalgic piece scaled up to 10 feet tall; Brainwashed, which transforms a Fiat into a life-sized, interactive toybox; Model Kit F1-1, a colossal version of an F1 model kit that brings the tradition of model building to life at full scale; Dream Car, a single car sculpture divided into four sections, each representing a different luxury auto brand in MercedesBenz, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Ferrari; and Tired Victory, a reinterpretation of the iconic Greek sculpture Winged Victory of Samothrace, among others. It isn’t so surprising that Guetta would choose to join forces with the Petersen in this way: cars have long had a constant presence in his work.

Earlier this year, he unveiled a Bentley Bentayga at London’s Clarendon Fine Art that he had transformed into a beaux arts piece featuring famous faces, monkeys, and Renaissance paintings, with his signature ‘Life is Beautiful’ slogan emblazoned in neon pink on its tailgate. In 2023, he created and installed a full-scale sculpture of a 1973 Porsche Carrera RS 2.7 inside a Matchbox toy packaging as part of the Petersen’s “We are Porsche” exhibit, and, when opening his own museum in 2022, stacked a red Ferrari 250 GTO, a silver Mercedes 300 SLR, and a green Porsche 911 Carrera RS on its exterior. He also displayed a life-sized race car sculpture in the super-VIP Bellagio Fountain Club during this year’s Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix. His love and use of vehicles in art has an easy explanation. “A car takes you on the road, on an adventure,” he says. “It takes you from A to B. It’s your future; it can take you to the next step of your life. You can walk through life, but not for so long, and not that fast, so the idea of the auto is a little bit magic to me. I’m not a crazy car guy or anything, but I think that cars, like everything else, are beautiful.”

Especially those at the Petersen, a museum he’s long wished to work with. “I came to the museum when I was younger, and I’d look at these cars in a dreamy kind of way, knowing that I could never afford them. But that was then! Today, I’m part of the museum. Like, how did this happen?” he marvels guilelessly, sharing, “When I first came to Los Angeles almost 40 years ago, I could only dream about this kind of day, this kind of exhibit, seeing all these beautiful cars on display. I never imagined that I would be able to do an exhibit here one day, that I would show my work in one of the biggest car museums in the world. I feel so honored to be part of its history. This is a big moment in my life.”

Guetta has always lived his life in a large, over-the-top way, to the fullest, and as such, his career highs are considerable. Take his start in art as the perfect example: he was cherry-picked by the great yet elusive graffiti artist Banksy to be the subject of the 2010 Academy Awardnominated documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, earning him instant fame and notoriety (and not just for being one of the rare few to know Banksy’s true identity, either). He has designed album covers for stars like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Rick Ross, and Kygo, has been featured in films and television productions such as Molly’s Game, Billions, Shameless, and The Kardashians, and partnered with big-name brands like Hublot, Coca-Cola, and Marvel Comics. There was the time that he privately met with Pope Francis in Rome to raise funds for Scholas, the Pope’s personal foundation to serve the youth of the world, or when the entire city of Atlanta commissioned him to create Atlanta is Beautiful in the MercedesBenz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons. And then there came his recent pièce de résistance: the Mr Brainwash Art Museum, which became the only contemporary art museum in the world run by a living artist when it opened in the Richard Meier-designed former Paley Center for Media space in Beverly Hills two years ago this month.

The art in the museum is as wild and entertaining as he himself is. There’s an iconic image of a mask-wearing Mona Lisa, a welcoming piece intended to remind viewers that, well, life is beautiful — even during unpredictable times; Frida Kahlo and Vincent van Gogh dine with Superman in Edward Hopper’s Nighthawk; there’s a replica of Van Gogh’s Bedroom In Arles that guests can sit in; a Star Wars room, complete with full-scale Storm Troopers and a light box centered around a Sith; and, of course, a Banksy tribute in Enter Through the Museum, a not-so-subtle nod to Exit Through the Gift Shop. In the two years since it’s opened, the museum has added another four installations, four immersive paintings inspired by Munch, Lichtenstein, Dali, and Magritte.

Guetta’s joie de vivre is palpable here, but the museum isn’t just fun and whimsical —it also tells his story. How he consistently pushed the envelope of contemporary art, using elements from pop art’s past, using the raw components of his street art beginnings to create larger-than-life exhibitions and collaborations. How he still incorporates a sense of playfulness and wonder across a variety of mediums, including murals, printmaking, stenciling, painting, and sculpture.

The Mr Brainwash Art Museum does not tell the whole story of Thierry Guetta, of course. It only shares his work as an artist — not the past that shaped him. He certainly isn’t hiding it — it is laid bare for anyone who chooses to delve into his history; how he grew up in the small, impoverished suburb of Garges-lès-Gonesse, France, just outside of Paris, as the youngest of five children. How he and his siblings had nothing to speak of, no material wealth, and even less so after the unforeseen death of his mother when he was only nine years old. There is no evidence to suggest how difficult life was when Guetta, who moved to Los Angeles as a teenager, struggled in school, barely able to speak English. But still, he was happy, which was a rarity among his peers, and it propelled him to success in the Hollywood nightclub scene as well as vintage retail. Later, he got married, had a son, became Mr Brainwash, and inspired Banksy… among other things. His story is still being written, and will continue to be so, he says, until he takes his last breath.

“You know what? I like life itself more than everything,” he declares. “I’m thankful for being able to wake up every day and to have one day more to live my life — and that’s why I live it one day at a time.”

Everything that has come to him has been organic, but he’s worked for it. His success did not happen overnight, nor by magic. It was done with hard work, drive, determination, belief, that inherent Brainwash happiness, and also, perhaps, a little bit of something else.

“I’ve been very humble — which, by the way, is not a word that typically comes out of my mouth — and what I mean by that is that I’m normal and like to work hard. And I have worked hard for these last 16 years, from my first show to the movie, to now. [Because of the success I’ve had] I believe that anything is possible. Even if you make a [mistake], you become a better person, because you’re learning about life. And I use every day to try to become a better person. So, my last words of advice are these: anything you do in life, do it to the fullest, and do it with heart. Because at the end of the day, this is what makes you feel alive, and feel important. You need to believe in yourself and realize there is nothing you cannot do — but you do need to work to make it happen. Nothing in life should be completely easy, but if you’re patient, and you do it with passion, then it really isn’t hard anymore. This is what my life is all about: it’s about giving and it’s about passion, and I will never stop being that way until the end.”

He rests his hand atop his signature felt fedora momentarily, and scratches his peppery beard, before marveling, “I’m the first artist in the world to have his own museum. How? Because I didn’t want to wait; I wanted to just do it. Many wait until they’re dead to be in a museum, but I wanted to do it while I was alive, to take that risk, because I want to show how I live my life to the fullest, to inspire people.”

This is the intention behind another recent undertaking, creating the world’s largest dual-sided rotating puzzle cube mosaic image, a collaboration with Rubik’s Cube for its 50th anniversary that occurred on November 23. The monumental event, certified by Guinness World Records, took place at an exclusive red-carpet gala at Avèle Galerías de la Marina in Cap Cana. The mosaic showcased a captivating tribute to the Rubik’s Cube’s vast cultural impact and to the Dominican Republic, featuring a vibrant and intricate design inspired by Cap Cana and the country’s rich culture and beauty. With almost 10,000 cubes used in its construction, the double-sided mosaic surpassed 300 square feet, making it the largest ever created.

“This [installation with Rubik’s Cube] is a revolution; it’s part of history. I love being part of things like this, like the Petersen, making history — because my legacy is very important to me. And I think about that. I think about how, even after the end of my life, this passion will continue, because I’ve already prepared for it. I’ve had this plan to make life beautiful not just for me, but for everyone. We are all diamonds, but sometimes you have to learn how to polish something to make it shine.”

“Childhood Dream”

“ We are all diamonds, but sometimes you have to learn how to polish something to make it shine.”

“Dream Car” and “Furry Fiat”

And shine he does — or beam, really, which is what his smile feels like: sunshine. He’s got the energy of 10 people, and the drive to match. “It isn’t going to stop,” he promises. “I’m going to keep pushing myself. I don’t even know how I do all of these things, but I make it happen. I’m setting a world record with Guinness, opening this exhibit, and displaying at F1, all in the same week. I guess I like to live my life under tension, but that’s how you get things done. You work at nights, like I did yesterday. I stayed here until 4 a.m. and tonight is going to be the same thing.”

After his monster week, he’ll head to London, and then potentially to Miami for Art Basel, where he’s activated in the past with exhibitions like the 2010 pop-up “Life is Beautiful: Under Construction,” which consisted of Storm Troopers looking out on various floors of the building, housing works on all types of mediums, and a 2015 collaboration with Swiss timepiece brand Hublot to guest-curate the visual merchandising of its Miami Design District boutique.

With so many projects, his life a constant whirlwind, it’s not so much a question of what or when he’ll do something next, but how. “I’m going to go deeper,” he explains, noting, “Sometimes, I’m so in my head that I cannot speak to people; they cannot understand me. My brain doesn’t stop. I sleep two, three hours a day. Even when I’m dead tired, and my body tells me now it’s time to lie down, my head is still saying now it’s time to get to work. Sometimes I have to take a sleeping pill because I wouldn’t be able to quiet my head otherwise.”

“Quiet” is not the word that comes to mind when I think of Mr Brainwash or Terry Guetta, but even someone with endless amounts of energy, whose life is so technicolor brilliant, needs to relax at some point.

“I’m close to 60; in January, I’ll be 59. I’m wrapping up one moment of my life, and from 60 to 70 is going to be another,” he says. But, as is in his nature, he seems excited about his next chapter — mostly because, as usual, he has big plans for it, and those include bringing it back to the start: Exit Through the Gift Shop. He shares that for the project’s 15th anniversary in 2025, he’s planning on creating a series in its honor. But whether its elusive director will be taking part is a mystery that only Mr Brainwash has the answer to. [“That will be the surprise,” he says with a smile.] And regardless of what that chapter ends up looking like, he knows this much to be true. “I want to work hard and to do whatever it is that I need to do, so that one day, I can be free to do only the things that I love. Later in life, I’ll do one show a year. That will be it. I don’t want to fight to create the life I want; I want to be smart, and to enjoy it.”

Just like he has — and currently is — working hard seems to fuel his desire to succeed… or his drive to survive, as it were. “I really feel like I’m just warming up, that this is only the beginning,” he admits, noting, “And sometimes I’m like, Terry, slow down. It’s OK. But it’s like I’m a kid — you give him two or three pieces of candy, and he wants to take five. He wants to save it for later. So, he puts those candies in his pocket until his pocket is full. That’s the same way that I do projects: I take them all because I don’t want to say no; it’s just the way I am. And sometimes, there are things that you think you cannot do, but those are the things you want to do most. So, I just keep going, like a Duracell battery. But at least I know my battery is still working, because the passion is still there. And when you have that passion, life really is beautiful.”

And who would know that better than Mr Brainwash?

A CELEBRATION OF CULTURE

Michael Mina is dishing up the flavors of his Egyptian heritage at his newly opened Santa Monica hot spot, Orla.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

MICHAEL MINA IS HAVING QUITE A YEAR. HE OPENED HIS FIRST NEW YORK location of Bourbon Steak, wrote a cookbook tied to his Egyptian heritage, and opened his new Egyptian-Mediterranean concept, Orla, in Las Vegas, followed by said concept’s Santa Monica location at the hot new hotel, Regent Santa Monica Beach, on October 15. The restaurant is what can be referred to as “luxury yacht dining” thanks to its concept of a Mediterranean voyage, which becomes evident from the very moment one walks onto the “king plank” floor — actual plank flooring used on boats and yachts — and is seen throughout in touches such as brass ornamentation, custom, Goodshop-designed fish and dessert carts that rove from table to table, a compass design, and a mosaic, done by SICIS, depicting a kelp forest in the Pacific Ocean. There’s also the secret “Octo” Room, with its fish and octopus mosaic floor meticulously handcrafted by SICIS in Ravenna, Italy, and a beautiful, hand-painted octopus mural inset in the ceiling by Pretorius Studio. We sat down with Mina, 56, in advance of Orla Santa Monica’s opening, to chat about his latest ventures and why this particular restaurant concept is so near and dear to his heart.

With Orla Santa Monica, you’ve now got restaurants in two cities that are very close to each other. How do they differ?

That’s the way I like to design. I am a firm believer in designing for the area you’re in, not designing for the concept itself, because I think you can always have enough nuances that let people know that it’s the same restaurant. Take Bourbon Steak, for example: I’m not going to design Bourbon Steak in Arizona the same way I’m going to design it in Washington, D.C. You want people to feel a sense of place in the restaurant. When it comes to Orla, the one here in Santa Monica feels so Santa Monica. The whole restaurant can be open air when the weather’s right.

Is the menu different, too?

A little, because of the produce you get here, for starters. We’ll have a bit more seafood, we’ll be a little more crudo driven, and we’ll have a slightly larger menu. Here, we’re doing brunch, which we don’t do in Las Vegas. We’re also doing lunch, which we don’t do in Las Vegas. I’m very excited about the lunch program, because even if you order from the à la carte menu, everyone still gets a hearts of palm salad on their plate, we hit the table with five different mezzes, and then everybody picks their entree. It’s a really fun way to eat in this part of the world.

What exactly is Egyptian-Mediterranean cuisine?

Well, the reason that the word “Egypt” is going to be in there in the first place is because I am Egyptian. But I would say that the cuisine [at Orla] is more Greek-Egyptian than anything else... and mostly because I grew up eating so much Greek food as a child that I actually thought it was Egyptian food. So, the cuisine at [this restaurant] is really based on what I grew up with; it’s the foundation of what I grew up eating [which is also how my cookbook, My Egypt] came to be. This food is the story of my life.

Would you say that this is a celebration of your heritage, of your roots?

You could say it’s a celebration of my heritage, but it’s also food that I love to eat; it’s food I love to cook. But I also believe in getting the foundational pieces right, and then innovating off of them. As long as you’re innovating and creating something new, with good products, good techniques, and good ideas that make sense, then the rest will figure itself out.

ON THE SCENE AT THE LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX

The hottest events of Sin City’s second-ever F1 race weekend.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

ALL EYES WERE ON SIN CITY FROM NOVEMBER 21 TO 23 WITH THE arrival of the second-ever Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix as Hollywood’s biggest stars, the world’s top chefs, monster musicians and DJs, and the most revered luxury brands made glamorous event pit stops leading up to race day, where MercedesAMG PETRONAS F1 Team drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton ultimately secured pole positions one and two, respectively.

The hottest spot to watch the race was the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team’s Las Vegas Club — and not just because the team claimed a stunning 1-2 victory on the track. Over three days, the team hosted nearly 1,000 guests in their three-story hospitality suite overlooking turns 3 and 4, featuring entertainment acts from Spiegelworld, cocktail-making classes, VR garage experiences, watchmaking with IWC, a pit stop competition on a real-life F1 car, a ski lodge style speakeasy, and more. Race winner George Russell joined guests and team members alike for the closing show, courtesy of legendary British house DJ, Carl Cox. Famous faces who appeared here trackside over the weekend included Adele, Seth Rogen, Kevin Hart, J Balvin, and Sylvester Stallone.

Then, some of the world’s greatest chefs and restaurateurs converged to debut Bellagio Fountain Club on November 22. JeanGeorges Vongerichten led a saber-off with fellow culinary legends Mario Carbone, David Chang, Wolfgang Puck, Masaharu Morimoto, Yannick Alléno, Alain Ducasse, Michael Mina, Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, Nyesha Arrington, Akira Back, Bricia Lopez, TJ Steele, Olivia

Tiedemann, Wesley Holton, and Mark, Donnie, and Paul Wahlberg. The group toasted with MGM Resorts’ CEO and president Bill Hornbuckle and Bellagio president and COO Ann Hoff with limitededition Shoeys from the resort’s Shoey Bar.

Aston Martin also joined in the fun, hosting the North American debut of the DB12 Goldfinger Edition. The luxury auto brand also celebrated by displaying an unforgettable collection: the Aston Martin British Bloodline exhibit. More than 25 models were on display at the Fontainebleau, ranging from iconic on-screen stars to the recently revealed Vanquish V12 flagship and the AMR24 Formula 1 challenger. The event was celebrated in partnership with Bollinger.

On race night, the h.wood Group, Wynn Las Vegas, and Bond Hospitality joined forces to put on the ultimate post-race afterparty. The After by Wynn at Delilah Las Vegas was hosted by Wynn Resorts CEO Craig Billings, h.wood Group co-founders John Terzian and Brian Toll, and Scott Sartiano and Will Makris of Bond Hospitality. The evening featured performances by CeeLo Green and Mark Ronson, and was attended by the likes of Diplo, Damson Idris, Jared Leto, Winnie Harlow, Russell Westbrook, and Alexandre Grimaldi.

Other events of note included the amfAR Las Vegas gala, which raised over $3 million, and which honored Sylvester and Jennifer Stallone; a pop-up with Beyonce’s whisky, Sir Davis, at The Vault; and Château d’Esclans’ launch of their new, first-of-its-kind luminous bottle, Rock After Dark, at LIV at Fontainebleau.

Glow On the Go: Fast-Track Your Skincare with HydraFacial

BY DR. SARAH KHAN, ESTHETIC DOCTOR AND MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF ARA MED SPA IN BEVERLY HILLS, CA

THE HYDRAFACIAL IS A POPULAR, HYDRATING TREATMENT designed to refresh the skin through deep cleansing, extraction, and hydration. Designed to suit a range of skin types, it can be tailored to individual needs with options for targeted booster serums that address concerns like texture, dryness, and fine lines. Many people find it offers a gentle way to refresh the skin, leaving it with a smooth, natural-looking glow.

It is suitable for clients of all genders and ages, with all skin types and skin tones. The treatments are fast and effective and come in three treatment lengths of 30 to 60 minutes. Visible improvement in the skin is reported after just one treatment, and hydration can last from up to five to seven days. Regular, once-a-month treatments can result in improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, and oily and congested skin.

In the first step of a HydraFacial, the skin is cleansed with a formula containing licorice root extract for antioxidant and brightening, phytic acid as a mild exfoliant, lactic acid as a gentle AHA exfoliant, and laminaria saccharina (algae) extract for skin soothing with antioxidant properties.

The second step is a chemical peel, applied with glycolic and salicylic acid in a low, medium, or high strength, customizable to each client. For sensitive skin, a gentler peel with the substitution of lactobionic and phytic acid can be used in place of glycolic and salicylic acid.

As a third step, impurities are extracted from pores with painless, gentle suction. This is done with a multi-action formula containing peach, apple, and raspberry extracts to visibly brighten the skin, salicylic acid as a BHA exfoliant to unclog the pores, willow bark extract as a gentle exfoliant and Tasmanian pepper berry to soothe the skin.

The fourth step is the application of a personalized serum booster. Serum boosters are clinically proven to target specific skin concerns

such as the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, texture, elasticity, hyperpigmentation, and pore size.

Finally, the ultimate step is to hydrate with a formula that contains a firming peptide to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyaluronic acid to replenish moisture back to the skin and deeply penetrate for effective hydration, green tea extract for skin soothing, copper, magnesium, and zinc PCA for skin conditioning, as well as red algae extract to help hydrate and brighten skin.

The relaxing facial lymphatic massage is performed using a custom vacuum device. Lymphatic therapy stimulates the facial lymph nodes to assist with improving blood flow, detoxifying the skin, decreasing inflammation, and overall optimizing skin health.

To complete and seal the treatment, the LED light therapy (FDA approved) is performed using the LightStim Elipsa device and is customizable at two different wavelengths. Red light is used to treat acne for 12 minutes, and blue light is used to treat acne for 16 minutes.

In a research study of 20 acne patients treated with HydraFacial treatments, published in 2022 in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 100 percent of the patients reported clearer, healthier, more radiant skin, and felt more confident in their appearance. Greater than 80 percent of patients reported reduced erythema (redness), oiliness, and congestion, and saw a visible improvement in inflammation and acne.

Passion, Resilience, and Beauty: The Story Behind Sei Tu Bella Aesthetics

BY HEATHER MERLO

HELPING OTHERS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY PASSION, AND MY JOURNEY in medicine began in the high-stakes world of emergency and trauma surgery. However, the pandemic profoundly shifted my perspective. At seven-and-a-half months pregnant, I found myself navigating another wave of the crisis, feeling both unheard and undervalued. The stark reality of jeopardizing my unborn child’s health while being told I should simply be grateful to have a job was a wake-up call. I realized my calling extended far beyond my current role.

After resigning, I discovered that esthetic medicine was where my true purpose lay. Though I was already certified to perform these treatments, I hadn’t fully embraced the possibilities until I committed wholeheartedly, with no backup plan. Taking the leap was both daunting and exhilarating, but it solidified my belief that this path was meant for me.

Drawing inspiration from my Italian heritage, I envisioned a medspa infused with Italian charm — a place where clients could rediscover their beauty, regain confidence, and experience treatments designed to turn back the clock. The name “Sei Tu Bella,” meaning “are you beautiful?” captured the essence of my vision. If the answer isn’t a resounding yes, it becomes our privilege to help you feel that way for as long as you are part of the Sei Tu Bella family. In that moment, a brand was born.

As a female entrepreneur and mother of five, I knew that finding a unique niche was essential to making Sei Tu Bella stand out and defining our mission. I aspired to break barriers and empower women to overcome their insecurities. When I discovered the INMODE EMPOWER RF Women’s Wellness platform, it felt like the missing piece of the puzzle. Within two months of opening our doors, we introduced this groundbreaking technology to our practice, starting with just a handful of clients. This decision proved to be a game-changer.

While many medspas offer neurotoxin treatments and facial balancing, I wanted to elevate our practice by incorporating an advanced platform

that would truly set us apart in the esthetics industry. This vision ultimately led to a partnership with INMODE, the world’s largest esthetic device manufacturer. Adding an energy-based device required a heightened level of accountability and commitment to excellence — challenges I was more than ready to embrace.

Building Sei Tu Bella Aesthetics required forming strategic partnerships to support our growth and elevating the client experience. Inspired by industry leaders, I aligned with key partners such as Growth99 for website development and marketing, RepeatMD for our rewards and membership platform, and renowned names like Merz Pharmaceuticals, Galderma, Allergan, Aesthetic Record, Boulevard, SaltMED, Skinbetter Science, and ZO Skin Health. Each partnership has played a pivotal role in shaping the foundation of Sei Tu Bella and ensuring our commitment to excellence.

Reflecting on the challenges of the pandemic, I’m grateful for how they pushed me to pursue my dreams and embrace entrepreneurship. I transformed adversity into a mission: to ensure our clients are more than just numbers — they are the heart of Sei Tu Bella and deserve to feel valued, heard, and truly cared for.

In esthetics, it’s vital to reflect the confidence and wellness we strive to provide. Our clients often come to us at their lowest — physically, emotionally, or mentally — and it’s our responsibility to embody the transformation they seek. Balancing a large family, a thriving practice, and my own well-being is no small feat, but I remind myself to recharge and be the role model I want my children to see.

I believe success comes from committing fully, with no backup plan, and fostering self-love, confidence, and empowerment in others. At Sei Tu Bella, we’re not just about esthetic enhancements; we’re about creating transformative experiences that help our clients become the best versions of themselves.

CITY PERSONA

With Louis Vuitton’s 2025 Cruise collection, Nicolas Ghesquière proves that clothing can take on the identity of any city in which it is worn. Here, the clothes embody the urban identity of New York, revealing their versatility in styling.

A NEW YORk MOMENT

AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK INSIDE THE SPECTACULAR LOUIS VUITTON 57TH STREET NYC FLAGSHIP.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

If you’ve been on Fifth Avenue recently, you may have noticed that Louis Vuitton was about to unveil something as grand as the façade of trunks that covered their boutique on the Champs-Élysées. In a city synonymous with ambition and reinvention, Louis Vuitton has introduced Louis Vuitton 57th Street NYC, an unprecedented temporary flagship that transforms the retail experience — just in time for the holiday season.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

Located at 6 E. 57th Street, this five-story cultural haven invites consumers to explore the innovative world of Louis Vuitton. As the largest Louis Vuitton location in the United States, the space bridges history, craftsmanship, and the complex nature of the Maison’s connection to New York.

Louis Vuitton’s long-standing relationship with New York began in 1898, when the brand introduced its French art de vivre to the American market. The opening of its first independent store in the city on 57th Street in 1980 further solidified the brand’s cultural presence. Today, Louis Vuitton 57th Street NYC celebrates this enduring legacy by offering a space where history and modernity blend seamlessly — in true Louis Vuitton fashion.

Housed in an Art Deco-inspired building, the store is designed to reflect Louis Vuitton’s core values of artistry and innovation. Upon entering, visitors are welcomed by a 52-foot installation of Courrier Lozine 108 trunks, stacked in twisting towers that evoke the New York skyline while honoring the Maison’s trunk-making heritage. Additionally, a 60-foot mirrored wall showcasing iconic bags — including the Keepall and Speedy— rises vertically, creating a dynamic interplay of light and space.

Each floor offers a distinctive journey through the Maison’s universe. The first floor features iconic leather goods alongside an on-site personalization artisan, while the second and third floors house the women’s and men’s collections. On the fourth floor, culture and cuisine come together with Le Café Louis Vuitton and Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric.

Finally, the fifth floor is home to exclusive lounges, Objets Nomades, Art de la Table, and a hidden loft dedicated to high jewelry and watches. Enhancing the overall experience, the store’s design incorporates contemporary furniture crafted by artists such as Carlo Mollino and Charlotte Perriand, alongside works from New York-based creatives like Todd Eberle and Chris Martin — making the store itself a true work of art.

For food connoisseurs, Le Café Louis Vuitton, a sophisticated café-library concept blending French elegance with New York’s loft culture, is the focal point of the flagship. Helmed by chefs Christophe Bellanca and Marie George, under the mentorship of Louis Vuitton’s culinary stalwarts Arnaud Donckele and Maxime Frédéric, the café introduces a new genre of luxury snacking. Signature dishes, like truffle ravioli embossed with the flower Monogram and Damier tartlets, offer a playful yet refined nod to some of Louis Vuitton’s design codes.

Adjacent to the café, Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric makes its U.S. debut, showcasing handcrafted confections made from responsibly sourced cocoa. The menu features must-order items like the delightful Vivienne on a Malle, a chocolate centerpiece inspired by a music box that celebrates the Maison’s creativity and heritage.

Finally, for the ultimate New York moment, Louis Vuitton unveiled an exclusive capsule collection paying tribute to the city’s style, featuring men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, leather goods, accessories, and gifting items. Among the iconic pieces are collector bags like the Neverfull Inside Out in taxi yellow, the Speedy Soft with yellow lining and playful tags, the Capucines adorned with skyscraper panels, and the shimmering gold GO14. The Vivienne figurine returns in a New York State of mind, appearing on small leather goods, a silk bandeau, and other giftable items.

For men, the collection reimagines NYC-inspired elements from the SS25 precollection. It includes a city license plate motif that has been downsized into bag charms for the Avenue Slingbag and Keepall, as well as a hot-stamped detail on the Slender wallet. All of these items are rendered in Monogram Héritage with a vibrant yellow palette and the playful inscription “LV since 1854,” which nods to the founding year of Louis Vuitton.

THE TRIFECTA

A. Lange & Söhne celebrates 30 years of the Lange 1 with four limited editions.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

IN HONOR OF THE 30 TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ICONIC Lange 1, A. Lange & Söhne has released four limited edition pieces that pay homage to the timepiece’s legacy. Known for its off-center dial, outsize date display, and meticulous craftsmanship, the Lange 1 has been a hallmark of German precision watchmaking since its debut in 1994. To mark this milestone, the brand has presented two special editions of the Lange 1 and two of the Little Lange 1.

The anniversary collection features the Lange 1 and Little Lange 1 in 950 platinum with a striking black onyx dial and in 750 pink gold with a radiant blue dial crafted from 925 silver. Limited to 300 pieces each, the Lange 1 models are paired with a 38.5mm case, while the smaller versions, limited to 150 pieces each, sport a more refined 36.8mm case. Both models maintain the signature esthetic of slender bezels and prominent lugs, adding a touch of sophistication to this commemorative release.

Wilhelm Schmid, CEO of A. Lange & Söhne, notes, “When the Lange 1 launched 30 years ago, it broke the existing design rules and defined its very own style. It symbolizes our unyielding ambition to innovate and refine.” The design of the Lange 1 has always

been about balance and refinement, guided by the principles of the golden ratio. With Roman numerals, lancet-shaped appliqués, and a harmonious arrangement of its dial elements, the watch remains visually captivating even 30 years after its introduction. The off-center dial configuration, complemented by the power-reserve indicator and subsidiary seconds display, is a testament to its enduring design.

The watches also feature the L121.1 manufacture caliber, a movement that powers both models. Introduced in 2015 as the 50th manufacturer movement, it offers a seamless date change at midnight and a 72-hour power reserve, all thanks to the reliable twin mainspring barrel. The movement, visible through the sapphirecrystal caseback, showcases exquisite hand-finishing, including a three-quarter plate crafted from untreated German silver and decorated with Glashütte ribbing, along with eight gold chatons secured by blued screws for contrasting accents.

Since its inception, the Lange 1 has inspired an entire family of watches, expanding its impact with models like the Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar and the Time Zone, carrying the weight of the invaluable reputation of A. Lange & Söhne.

Introducing The Cubitus

Patek Philippe debuts a new collection for the first time in 25 years.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

PATEK PHILIPPE PRACTICALLY BROKE THE INTERNET THIS October with the official debut of its first new collection in over two decades. The brand introduced the all-new Cubitus collection, a daring departure from tradition that embodies elegance and modernity. Featuring a distinctive square-shaped case with rounded corners, the collection debuts in three versions, each unique in its character.

The focal point of the collection is the Cubitus Grande Date, Ref. 5822P-001, which introduces an all-new complication in Patek Philippe’s portfolio. Powered by the newly developed caliber 240 PS CI J LU, this ultra-thin self-winding movement drives a grand date, day, and moon-phase display, offering precision and legibility with patented innovations in energy management. Its 45mm platinum case houses a horizontally embossed sunburst blue dial, framed by white gold markers and hands, and is completed by a navy-blue strap. A baguette-cut diamond at six o’clock adds another luxurious element to the timepiece, exemplifying the perfect marriage of esthetics and craftsmanship.

The Cubitus collection expands with two additional models: the Cubitus Ref. 5821/1AR and the Cubitus Ref. 5821/1A. The Cubitus Ref. 5821/1AR is a two-tone rose gold and steel version, boasting a bold 45mm square case with rounded edges and a slim profile. The blue sunburst dial with rose gold applied markers enhances its legibility and sleek design. Powered by the caliber 26-330 S C, this self-winding model features a 21K gold rotor and a stop-seconds function, ensuring precision and functionality. The rose-gold-and-steel bracelet with a patented fold-over clasp adds a contemporary yet timeless appeal.

Finally, the Cubitus Ref. 5821/1A is a 45mm steel model with an olive green, horizontally embossed dial. The ultimate Patek Philippe design that blends sophistication with sportiness through the watch, the Cubitus Ref. 5821/1A features a polished and satinbrushed finish. In contrast, its self-winding movement that features the same 21K gold rotor ensures optimal performance.

A brand-new collection from Patek Philippe was certainly not on our Q4 of 2024 bingo card, but it has breathed some fresh air into the industry for the end of the year.

ANIMAL INSTINCTS

Welcome to the Cartier jungle. This season, Cartier embraces the wild by reimagining its iconic Trinity design with signature animal motifs, including the panther, the tiger, and the snake.

ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME ADVENTURES FOR THE ONE PERCENT.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

A KENYAN SAFARI

It’s a dream to see the Big Five out in the wild (leopards, rhinos, elephants, lions, and African buffalos), but it is not easy to do so. Forget about the logistics of actually getting up close and personal with these majestic beasts in their natural habitat, and think about yourself for a second. After what could be upwards of 30-plus hours of traveling from the States, most will want a cozy bed, a great place to stay, and a stiff drink — and not necessarily in that order. Sadly, not all safaris are built the same — which is why we recommend staying at Cottar’s 1920s Camp, located in the private, 7,608-acre Olderkesi Conservancy, on the border of Kenya’s famous Maasai Mara National Reserve (and letting the experts at ProAfrika Safaris do all of the logistical planning for you). This is truly one of the most bespoke, upscale experiences available — especially in that one with deep pockets doesn’t have to “glamp.” In addition to its own private airstrip (a true essential when arriving from Nairobi) Cottar’s Safaris offers one of the most truly exceptional places to stay Mara-wide in its Private Bush Villa. This behemoth, 10,000 square-foot retreat comes with eight dedicated members of staff, has its own private 82-foot swimming pool, and boasts breathtaking views onto the savannah plains with a backdrop of the Olentoroto Hill. Although the Bush Villa is part of the main camp, it feels like it’s set apart, and that could be because it is: guests will need to be escorted by jeep, security guard, or Maasai Warrior to the main mess tent which is where the action happens. Situated with a hilltop view of the rolling savannahs, the camp’s center encompasses an Art Nouveau bar where dedicated staff members make a mean Mint Julep amid vintage-era décor such as first-edition books, sextants, binoculars, and telescopes. This particular safari features a spa, and also offers a traditional safari bath, best enjoyed with bubbles and champagne at sunset, as well as unique activities including immersive walks with a local Maasai medicine and foraging expert, an immersive raptor experience, evening talks on the history of African travelers, and visits to local Maasai villages — which is among one of the most enriching and rewarding experiences modern-day travelers can have. Perhaps most importantly, however, Cottar’s Safaris has become known throughout Kenya for its conservation efforts, becoming the first camp in Africa to attain Preferred by Nature’s “Ecosystem Restoration Validation” certificate, and are one of only 11 accredited Long Run Global Ecosphere Retreats in the World, working via its Cottar’s Wildlife Conservancy Trust (CWCT) to conserve critical wilderness and wildlife corridors and areas bordering the Maasai Mara and Serengeti National Reserves.

CRUISING TO ANTARCTICA

How many people in the world can say they’ve been to Antarctica? The answer: not many. It’s expensive, precarious — the Weddell Sea being one of the most dangerous in the world — and time-consuming, in that you’ll be at sea for days at a time without land in sight. But if you’re going to make the trek, you had best do it right, and glamorously — and that’s where Swan Hellenic comes in. The British company relaunched in July 2020 with the sole purpose of offering upscale cultural expedition cruising via its purpose-built boutique ships that feature elegant Scandi-design interiors, extensive outdoor spaces, and dedicated expedition facilities. SH Diana, a PC 6 ice-class vessel, launched in May 2023 as a luxury expedition vessel, with on-board elements inclusive of a dedicated presentation and lecture theater, on-board Tender boats to take guests ashore more comfortably than customary expedition Zodiacs, a state-of-the-art gym, spa, panoramic sauna, club room, swimming pool, and three restaurants. But what sets Swan Hellenic apart is its experts: famous explorers, seasoned expedition guides, and leading authorities in their fields join in on the Antarctic fun, as do unique organizations such as JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs, Chopra, and the SETI Institute. On many cruises, you can also participate in Swan Hellenic’s Citizen Science partnerships, contributing valuable data obtained during your expeditions and on board, reporting cloud data with NASA, recording whale sightings with Happywhale, monitoring phytoplankton with the Secchi Disk Study, and Antarctic seabird numbers with Stony Brook University. And best of all, you’ll be able to witness, first-hand, an untapped part of the world: the emperor penguin colony at Snow Hill Island, Adélie penguins, blue-eyed shags, humpback whales, minkes, and leopard seals at Pléneau and Petermann Islands; and finally, finally say you’re among the few to have conquered that tumultuous Weddell Sea.

WINE-TASTING IN SOUTH AFRICA’S STELLENBOSCH

In the States, we have Napa and Sonoma, along with the Willamette Valley, Central Coast, and newer wine regions in Virginia and Texas. But wouldn’t it be a dream to sip and swill in South Africa’s Cape Winelands? We think so, at least. Indulge in some of the best food and wine in Franschhoek, which is considered the gourmet capital of the Cape and is home to some of the country’s best restaurants, before heading to Stellenbosch, the country’s most famous wine region — and what is considered to be the birthplace of Pinotage home to over 150 wine estates. You can stay where it all began in Constantia, which is considered to be the first-ever wine estate in South Africa, located just 20 minutes from Cape Town, and known for its Sauvignon Blanc, Bordeaux-blends, and Muscat Blanc. For your stay, we recommend first checking into the magical Royal Portfolio collection properties of The Silo Hotel, a sanctuary in Cape Town celebrating art, style, and design that is defined by its shimmering pillowed-glass windows with panoramic views stretching from Table Mountain to the Table Bay harbor and which is located six floors above the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (which houses Africa’s largest collection of contemporary African art) and is close to some of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, such as Fyn Restaurant and La Colombe. Then, head to La Residence, a glorious property located on a private 30-acre estate in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley. Here, you can enjoy the best of the region with private wine tastings at nearby wineries; helicopter flights through the Winelands; strolls through a natural backdrop of olive trees, vines, and roses; and dinners at one of the many award-winning restaurants in the Valley.

LAISSEZ LE BON TEMPS ROULER DURING MARDI GRAS

Mardi Gras is something that should be experienced once in a lifetime. It’s a rite of passage, an opportunity to really let laissez bon temps rouler in a cloud of purple, gold, and green. French for “Fat Tuesday,” the season, known best as Carnival, begins on January 6, and continues until the midnight before Ash Wednesday. It’s wild to think that this ode to revelry didn’t become a renowned event until the late 1830s, with street processions of carriages and horseback riders, all featuring masked and mysterious patrons, lit by gaslight torches. Today, there’s a decidedly more hedonistic bent to Mardi Gras; a revelry that consumes the city via costumes, krewes, balls, dining (including the ever-present King Cake) and, of course, drinking. Becoming part of this giant party is unlike anything you’ll be likely to experience in life. That being said, when it comes to a place to stay, those who like their creature comforts will want to confine their French Quarter ministrations to partying only. Stay at the tony Four Seasons New Orleans, which is just far enough away to take a break from the crowds should you need some peace and quiet, and close enough that you can easily join in. Plus, the property features the crème de la crème of the Big Easy in Donald Link’s Chemin à la Mer eatery, Alon Shaya’s Miss River restaurant, the gorgeous and glorious Chandelier Bar, and a spa that will melt all traces of late Mardi Gras nights away.

CAMPING UNDER THE STARS IN WADI RUM

In Wadi Rum, Jordan — otherwise known as the Valley of the Moon the stars appear so close that you can touch them. Or it seems that way, at least. In this valley, cut into the sandstone and granite rock of southern Jordan near Saudi Arabia’s border, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is an ideal spot for a proper Bedouin experience under the stars. Which, as it happens, is one of the many reasons to go: throughout the year, Jordan becomes a popular destination for astronomy enthusiasts and skywatchers alike to catch spectacular starry displays and meteor showers (including this past summer’s Perseid meteor shower, November’s Leonid meteor shower, or the upcoming Geminids meteor shower in mid-December). The Memories Aicha Luxury Camp is definitely the most luxurious glamping experience in the area — 55 tents, bordered by rugged mountains and the stunning Arabian desert — a standout being its lavishly-decorated panoramic luxury suite with plush furnishings inspired by the colorful sands of the desert. Beyond that, Jordan also now has a Hollywood pedigree: Olivewood Film Studios, located just outside of Amman, consist of two 16,000-plus square foot soundstages, where the likes of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Dune 1 & 2 and The Martian were filmed.

TAKING A DIP IN THE BLUE LAGOON

Blue Lagoon Iceland was founded in 1992 to unlock the benefits of geothermal water, but it’s become one of (if not the most visited) tourist attractions in Iceland thanks to its unusual natural phenomenon of ocean water and freshwater converging in a tectonic realm of searing heat and extreme pressure, creating geothermal seawater over a mile beneath the earth. The water, which is enriched with silica, algae, and minerals, is known for its healing, rejuvenating, and nourishing abilities. It’s a great introduction to the Land of Fire and Ice, though Sky Lagoon, a man-made geothermal spa just 13 minutes from the center of Reykjavik, is certainly as incredible, though in a more convivial, less wildly outrageous way. We recommend trying both though the latter is certainly more convenient in that it’s closer to our recommended, over-the-top, five-star hotel pick, The Reykjavik EDITION, which opened its doors in 2021, the very same year as Sky Lagoon. Located in the historical, scenic heart of downtown Reykjavik by Old Harbor port next door to the Olafur Eliasson-designed Harpa Concert and Conference Center, the sleek, sensual hotel boasts a variety of distinctive food, beverage, and entertainment outlets. On a good night, you might even see the Northern Lights from the seventh floor bar, The Roof, though hidden sanctuary TÖLT, which is named after the unique fourth gait of Icelandic horses and which is inspired by Icelandic culture, with local Icelandic spirits dominating the menu, is much cozier —and what we feel is the perfect venue for late night cocktails come winter.

EXPERIENCING THE NORTHERN LIGHTS IN NORWAY

There is nothing quite so majestic as the aurora borealis. Seeing the colors swirl and dance, live in person, is nothing short of incredible. In our experience, the very best place in the world to see the Northern Lights is directly beneath the Aurora Oval in the coastal city of Tromsø. Though many believe winter to be its peak time, statistically, the most active seasons are autumn and spring, when the earth’s orientation towards the sun maximizes the probability of solar flares interacting with the planet’s magnetic field. Plus, as a bonus, you’ll be able to see the aurora without freezing your buns off, and it’s less crowded, which is much more appealing. Despite being in the Aurora Zone, the aurora can be a finicky bombshell, and as such, you definitely need the right guide to get you to witness her glory. Should all else fail on a cloudy night, North Experience can take you to their nearby aurora base station for a glimpse of this outrageous spectacle; they’ll take care of everything including showing you how to best take photos to witness the lights. While in Tromsø, there are a variety of activities to engage in outside of aurora hunting. Float peacefully on a lake — underneath the stars or in broad daylight — with Authentic North; tour the Troll Museum and Arctic Cathedral for pieces of Norway’s legendary folklore; and indulge in some incredible meals with local, native fare at restaurants like Bardus Bistro, Smak, Fiskekompaniet, and Walter & Leonard. Should you choose the more convenient option of staying near the city’s center as a opposed to a more private luxury lodge outside of town, Clarion Hotel The Edge a Scandi-cool stay located on Tromsø Harbor — is our top pick.

Rolls-Royce: 120 years of excellence.

BY TIM LAPPEN

SAY YOU WANT TO CELEBRATE YOUR 120 TH BIRTHDAY — WHAT would you do? If you are a person, you would most likely add special bunting on your wheelchair, but if you’re a car company — I mean, if you are THE car company, with one of the longest pedigrees and almost the longest history — you would need to do something special.

That was the conundrum facing Rolls-Royce recently, when they invited a small cadre of esteemed journalists (and me) to come to Las Vegas for three days to experience two of their latest and greatest creations.

Rolls-Royce has completed constructing the last iterations of their twodoor models, which will no longer be produced — their Dawn convertible and their Wraith two-door luxury fastback. Still very much in production are their top-of-the-line Phantom and their next-in-line four-door Ghost. But the recent Sin City event was with their next-newest model, the Cullinan Series II SUV and their latest creation, the Spectre two-door Ultra-Luxury Electric Super Coupé. Yet the main focus of this gathering was on the proper care and feeding of both the cars and their occupants, which is accomplished by way of the exemplary “Rolls-Royce White Glove Programme and Chauffeur

Experience.” Yes, that’s a real thing and it has been popular — in one version or another — almost since the company was founded. I was very pleased to have been able to partake of an abridged version of that program as part of our Las Vegas experience (apparently not all that happens in Vegas is meant to stay in Vegas).

Fortunately for us all, the chief instructor of the Chauffeur Academy was the inimitable Andi McCann, a product expert and trainer who has worked with Rolls-Royce since 2005. With an extremely eclectic background (he has worked with Formula 1 drivers and competitive skiers; his knowledge of how the human body reacts and how to make it work better is incredible), he is perfectly suited to instruct others on the proper movements and procedures to efficiently and flawlessly handle the tasks at hand. But why, in this day and age, are we even talking about chauffeurs? To take our hospitality host hotel for example, Wynn Las Vegas and the adjacent Encore Las Vegas, have ten Phantoms on order to add to their fleet of Rolls-Royces, all driven by graduates of the Chauffeur Academy. In fact, in the US, though eighty to ninety percent of Rolls-Royces are driven by their owners, the rest are piloted

by a chauffeur (the percentage of chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royces is twenty to thirty percent worldwide). While some owners may have a full-time person whose job is to be the driver, many owners (and virtually all of the companies with fleets of Rollses), employ a car manager who looks after the cars and is periodically called on to be the driver. (Interesting fact: “chauffeur” is derived from the French word for “heat” and came from the name given to the person who stoked the fire on a steam engine of a train, whose job itself was not likely to involve wearing white gloves.)

So back to McCann’s program. The stated purposes were to give us familiarity with the Rolls-Royce lineup of vehicles, gain a working understanding of how the vehicles’ systems operated, a basic knowledge of the maintenance of the cars and, especially, the proper way to care for one’s passengers and to safely and comfortably arrive at Point B.

From the start, Rolls-Royce knew that the key to making a reliable car was to have someone who knew how to care for it. This included preventative maintenance — not just repairs — making the role of chauffeur a dual one. Historically, the program included a fair amount of mechanical training. Even though the Rolls-Royces of the past were highly reliable for their time, they did need regular attention for adding oil, lubricating various moving parts and, especially given the early history of the ox cart paths — I mean, roads — how to change a tire. Due to the immense mechanical improvements over the past dozen decades, the emphasis is now on the desired personality traits of the drivers as well as the drivers’ skills in making the passengers feel cared-for but not intruded-upon.

The first part of our program was held at a suite in the Encore tower, where McCann explained some of the steps of his extensive training program. As the chief trainer of the Rolls-Royce Chauffeur Academy, he has educated dozens of drivers who work for (or who want to work for) the owners of these

luxurious cars. Some of the issues he mentioned were common sense, such as not parking the car too close to a wall or hedge so as to make entry and exit a challenge, or being sure to back the car in so that the passengers would approach the car from the front, as that is the most distinctive and elegant angle from which to see the vehicle. Other suggestions weren’t as apparent to many of us in the class, such as adjusting the inside rear-view mirror to not make eye contact with the back-seat passengers so that they wouldn’t feel “watched” or intruded-upon.

The second part of the program included the “field work.” Ensconced in the new Cullinan Series II or the equally new all-electric Spectres, we journalists drove (two to a car) an hour or so out of Las Vegas to the Valley of Fire. There, the initial test was for McCann to see how everyone parked. We all (mostly) did fine, backing in equally between the parking lines, all front bumpers lined up in a row. It was a great photo op as well, with the juxtaposition of the world’s most-elegant cars and the rugged terrain around us on a bright and very sunny day.

The next test was to practice opening the rear door of a Cullinan to allow a guest to enter. Sounds easy, right? Well, true to the Rolls-Royce motto of “Effortless everywhere,” the plan was to open the door and make it look graceful and easy. “Arm extended, step back and pull the door handle in one flowing move, starting far enough forward so one can reach the door but far enough rearward so that one doesn’t block the occupant’s path,” we were told. After several attempts, even the clumsiest members of the group (no names will be mentioned here) were able to master the movement.

At the good-bye dinner at the sumptuous Delilah restaurant at the Wynn that night, each writer received the coveted framed white glove, personally signed by Andi McCann. What an elegant trophy to remember a very special trip, while piloting some of the most elegant cars on Earth.

The 911 was his first masterpiece. Then, Prof. F. A. Porsche wrote history with the world’s first black timepiece. The Chronograph 1 –All Black Numbered Edition.

HAUTE LIVING AND CINCORO TEQUILA HOSTED AN INTIMATE tasting experience at Gravitas Beverly Hills, a private members’ only club that opened on October 24. Notable attendees included Jason Arasheben of Jason of Beverly Hills, who was accompanied by his wife, Lisa. Arasheben is renowned for creating the championship rings for both the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, so there was a special connection to the evening’s theme, as Cincoro Tequila is co-owned by the Celtics’ Wyc Grousbeck and Emilia Fazzalari, along with the Lakers’ Jeanie Buss. Additional guests included Seth Semilof, publisher and COO of Haute Media Group, Dr. Garth Fisher and his wife, SueLynn, Crime by Design, Mariama Diallo, Joy Taylor, Anastasia Kermani, and more. Guests savored a curated tasting of Cincoro’s exquisite tequila range, including the newly launched Cincoro Añejo Cristalino, alongside their other renowned expressions — Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo. Attendees also enjoyed Cincoro specialty cocktails including the Gold Star martini, infused with Cincoro Blanco, passion fruit, lime, agave, and prosecco, and the espresso martini, concocted with Cincoro Reposado, Spressi coffee liqueur, and Marie Brizard white cacao. Gravitas is a 28,000-squarefoot, members-only social club that offers several stylish bars and dining spaces, private game rooms, a striking 28x7-foot LED screen, and automotive services for its members. The evening’s culinary offerings were thoughtfully curated to complement the exquisite range of Cincoro Tequila expressions, with each course paired to enhance the tequila’s unique flavors.
