AKON Music Mogul

ON HIS RISE TO SUCCESS AND LIGHTING UP AFRICA BY JESSICA ESTRADA PHOTOGRAPHY BY TAJ SHOT ON LOCATION AT SLS BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL

AKON IS A MAN WHO WEARS MANY DIFFERENT HATS—SINGER, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER, businessman, philanthropist—but what makes him distinct is his unique trajectory to the top. After spending three years in jail for a grand theft auto charge, he went on to debut his first album, Trouble, in 2004, starring his hit single “Locked Up,” which was inspired by his time in jail. Superstardom quickly followed. Since then, the music mogul has had many chart-topping hits (45 Billboard Hot 100 songs to be exact), sold over 35 million albums around the world including two multiplatinum albums, garnered five Grammy nominations and collaborated with music icons like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. Not bad for a former inmate. Although Akon isn’t in the spotlight as much anymore, that doesn’t mean he’s not making big waves behind the scenes. He’s also founded two record labels, Kon Live and Konvict Muzik, which have launched the careers of many major artists including Lady Gaga.

SPREADING THE WORD Akon has participated as a guest or speaker at events such as the Davos World Economic Forum 2018, COP 22, Global Citizen Forum and many others.

FEATURE HL: Who were some of your idols and mentors in the music industry? A: Some of the people that meant a lot to me, I was fans of before I met them, like Quincy Jones. I was a huge fan of him from a producer, songwriter, composer standpoint. He was one of my biggest mentors. Michael Jackson is like my idol, and I got to meet and work with him. Everyone else was pretty much people I grew up watching and listening to, like Lionel Richie and Whitney Houston. I always saw them as larger than life, and they opened the doors for us. So me being connected to them and getting their feedback helped me evolve my career and move it forward. HL: How does it feel now for you to be in a position where Lionel Richie and these other legends know who you are? A: It’s an amazing feeling because these are people that you grew up listening to and idolizing. You don’t want to brag about it, but for them to call me and want to be a part of what I’m doing and really cherish my talent, I mean that’s a whole other level. HL: You’ve been in the music industry for a long time. How hard is it to stay relevant? A: It’s actually really easy for me because I built my career off helping others build

BRINGING MUSIC TO AFRICA In addition to bringing light, Akon also helps bring music to Africa with his music download service, Musik Bi, which allows residents to purchase music using phone credits rather than credit cards.

There are a lot of artists out there under my umbrella doing big things. So I’m always in the business. I’m just not physically in the front. HL: You’re doing some really amazing work in Africa with your Akon Lighting Africa initiative. Tell us about that. A: That’s probably one of the biggest success stories because I was able to give back. I knew nothing about energy, but I just wanted to help people, and I felt like the energy sector in Africa and in these developing countries wasn’t really structured to the point where people could live a real lifestyle you know. I was able to do a partnership with a Chinese company that specializes in solar energy. We presented them with a full business plan of what we wanted to do and the areas we wanted to do it and made them very aware of the need of it and how it can be profitable for them, and we can be able to utilize that system to provide jobs for the locals and create a sustainable market for them. They were all for it. They looked at me as way of [gaining] access to Africa. We secured a billion-dollar credit line to be able to utilize their factories, their equipment and all their solar products to be able to make major progress.

Haute Residence hosted its highly-anticipated, fifth annual Real Estate Summit at New York’s prestigious, members-only CORE: Club. The event brought together some of the country’s leading real estate professionals for an all-day affair of three panels: Titans of Development, The Power Brokers and The Hamptons. The first panel of the day, Titans of Development, or, the “East Coast Kings,” was moderated by Fox Business Network’s Cheryl Casone and included six of the most successful real estate developers in the New York/Florida areas: Mitchell Moinian, Don Peebles, Dan Kodsi, Louis Birdman, Shahab Karmely and Michael Stern. The group covered a variety of topics, including political changes in the market, international buyers making New York and Florida real estate investments, the development of Miami as a globally-recognized destination and the differences between the real estate markets in Miami and New York. “It’s been a very exciting time in Miami, especially in the last 10 years,” began Louis Birman, CEO of Birdman Real Estate Development and co-developer of One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects in Miami. “A lot of our sales have been driven out of Latin

America and although that continues to be true, we’re also starting to see more interest out of other countries like in Europe and the Far East.” Dan Kodsi, developer of Paramount Miami Worldcenter, CEO of Royal Palm Companies and the visionary behind Paramount Branded Developments, echoed that sentiment. “In the past 10 years, we’ve seen the world recognize Miami as a major gate way city. Now you meet people from Europe and China. You never used to see that… When you get named with cities like London, Paris and New York, that’s a big deal for Miami.” He also called out Miami’s downtown area as the one to watch out for: “From Brickell to Miami Design District, it’ll feel like a miniature Manhattan once it develops out.” Mitchell Moinian, principal for The Moinian Group, also has an upcoming residential project in New York with the late and great Zaha Hadid, at 220 Eleventh Avenue; however, it is his 3 Hudson Boulevard development, that is garnering a lot of attention, given that the Hudson Yards area is set to be one of the next hotspots in Manhattan. The second group, The Power Brokers, included top brokers and agents from key US markets. The panelists were Adam Modlin, Jeff Miller, Aaron Kirman, Olivia Hsu Decker, Richard Steinberg and

On the eve prior to the summit, Haute Residence also hosted a cocktail reception at the Seville in the NoMad James Hotel, New York, along with Paramount Miami Worldcenter—the cover star of the latest Haute Residence, which is set to open next year. Guests enjoyed champagne and cocktails, along with hors d’oeuvres, while mingling with real estate professionals from all across the country and world in New York’s latest upscale hotspot. They also had the opportunity to chat with the esteemed panelists, most of whom were in attendance. Following the cocktail reception, a select group of guests were escorted upstairs to Scarpetta restaurant, for an intimate and private dinner with Ultralux Interiors. A New York staple, Scarpetta pulled out all the stops, serving delicious, signature dishes, including creamy polenta, short rib and bone marrow agnolotti, duck and foie gras ravioli, veal tenderloin, roasted organic chicken and its tomato and basil spaghetti.

WHY TILMAN J. FERTITTA IS THE ULTIMATE BILLION-DOLLAR BUYER BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

TILMAN J. FERTITTA IS ANYTHING BUT YOUR AVERAGE BILLIONAIRE. CASE IN POINT: WHEN ASKED about the first major purchase he made after becoming a billionaire, the man responsible for the largest deal in NBA history—the 2017, $2.2 billion-dollar purchase of the Houston Rockets—says he can’t remember. “You don’t wake up one day and say you’re a millionaire or billionaire; it just kind of happens,” Fertitta maintains from his home base of Houston, Texas. “You get a financial statement, and you say, ‘I’m worth a million dollars.’ When I went public in 1993 and private in 2010, I bought a place in Beaver Creek at the Park Hyatt. Somewhere along the way you buy a boat, you buy another business. I’m more into buying businesses than I am buying toys. Business is my hobby; I just love it.”

Revolution Famed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten discusses new food trends and how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transforming plant-based dishes into a fine-dining experience. BY: PAIGE MASTRANDREA

uring the highly anticipated SOBEWFF week, Haute Living had the chance to catch up with James Beard Award-winning

chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten at his Miami home base—The Miami Beach EDITION. While the chef was busy soaking up the sun and catching up with close friends at the festival, he also was in the midst of hosting some of SOBEWFF’s most coveted events, such as the abcV Vegan Brunch, as well as Española Way’s Midnight Eats with Action Bronson. Here, the acclaimed chef discusses how the Miami culinary market compares to other cities, how vegan food is transforming the dining scene, his favorite aspects of SOBEWFF week and what he has coming for us in 2018.

AN AUTUMNAL UTOPIA

The expansive indoor space was transformed into an autumnal utopia, with the sunlight beaming through the high skylights, as well as tall, bare trees and fallen leaves in hues of brown, green and orange gracing the floor. Taking cues from the foliage-forward atmosphere, the collection complemented the natural backdrop perfectly, both in the materials and the colors used. Fabrics like tweed, cotton canvas, soft knits, velvet and corduroy were seasonally appropriate and paired well with accessories like thigh-high boots, fingerless gloves, faux fur cuffs adorned with feathers and bright scarves for a pop of color. Warm hues of pine green, russet, orange and bark brown married chicness and coziness in each piece, while additional details included “branch-like braids, jeweled buttons chiseled with leaves, sautoirs of beads and pastel-hued glass paste, necklaces and bracelets interlaced with chains and beads, cabochon and graphic pendant earrings.” Classic Chanel pieces were also modernized, such as the iconic jacket in mid-length or short at the waist; the Chanel suit with poncho peplums; doublebreasted coats; pencil skirts with slits and a dropped waist; oversized overcoats with feathered hems; and of course, the iconic Chanel LBD, or, Little Black Dress. Additionally, Karl Lagerfeld‘s latest bag creation, 31, joined the Chanel accessory family. The shopper-style handbag is made with smooth leather, along with the complementary fabric choice of printed cotton, canvas or tweed. Mini versions of the Gabrielle bag also made appearances on the runway, along with others. Budding supermodel Kaia Gerber walked the runway while brand ambassadors like Keira Knightley and Lily Allen looked on. The transitional season reflected in the gorgeously appointed room reminded the audience and viewers of the stages and cycles of life. Who better to put the essence of the collection into words than Karl Lagerfeld himself, who said, “Chanel, it’s life itself. Clothes that have a possibility of life.”

UNE MAISON ITALIENNE Bottega Veneta opens its third and largest Maison on NYC’s Madison Avenue.

It’s no secret that New York City touts some of the world’s most exclusive brands and designers. And of course, every New Yorker knows there’s something special about the Madison Avenue boutiques, which historically, have been much more fashion-forward and even a bit funkier than their Fifth Avenue counterparts. Bottega Veneta—the newest neighbor on the block—has decided to take a more elegant and sophisticated approach, going back to its debut store opening outside of Italy in 1972.

Sneakers have always been the more practical shoe choice, of course. But now that top designers and fashion houses are creating stylish and statement-making sneakers, the functional style has taken on new meaning as a deliberate and chic footwear option. In comes Dior Homme’s B22—the sneaker favored by fashionistos and sneaker heads alike. Available in mid-May at Dior Homme boutiques, the futuristic footwear style is made in Italy and doesn’t fall at all short of the high quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that one would expect from Dior Homme.

Over the years, Stuart Weitzman has gained significant notoriety as the go-to choice for the strappy sandal—the iconic “Nudist”—and for the over-the-knee boot. But the New York-based shoe brand—with celebrity spokespeople Gigi Hadid and Kate Moss—is really about to kick it up a notch, not just with its shoe offering, but also with a new and diverse line of accessories. Under new Creative Director, Giovanni Morelli, fans of the brand can still expect to find a wide selection of gorgeous, wearable and on-trend sandals, sneakers, loafers, pumps and flats. For instance, the new SW612 sneaker, made from suede, touts a “sock-like construction and unique, contrasting sole, which can be folded in half for easy packing,” while the Lexy combat boot, with “a lug sole…is finished with wraparound laces on a noticeably streamlined silhouette.” ABOVE: The Veruka boot BELOW: Models Gigi Hadid and Kate Moss for Stuart Weitzman

ALL ABOUT THE LOGO Fendi relaunches its iconic FF logo with the FF Reloaded Capsule Collection, in stores and online.

This spring, Gucci is taking the classic loafer and giving it a modern twist that will make it the new classic.

The FENDI FF logo is one of the most recognizable and iconic designer logos in history, which is why it makes sense that the Italian fashion house has decided to bring it back, and in a big way. In its new FF Reloaded Capsule Collection, the brand has relaunched the FF signature, originally designed in 1965 by none other than Karl Lagerfeld. “When I arrived at FENDI in 1965 the five FENDI sisters asked me to create a small modern collection of furs,” began Lagerfeld. “But I also wanted them to be fun, which is one of the FENDI codes. And since FENDI and fun have the same initials, I sketched the two letters together in less than five seconds,

HUBLOT X RICHARD ORLINSKI 50

WHEN FINE WATCHMAKING MEETS ART

ublot is a watch brand that is not afraid to push the boundaries. Whether it is in terms of design, technology or materials, the brand has a passion for innovation, which means that it is not uncommon for them to push the boundaries of all three with a

single watch. Hublot is also a brand that enjoys collaborations, not only because of the synergy that it generates but also because the input of others takes Hublot out of its comfort zone. For the Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski, it was the case that challenged Hublot, with its three-dimensional folds. This meant that the entire case of the Classic Fusion Aerofusion had to be rede-

signed, to accommodate the ridges and facets that are the signature of Richard Orlinski’s work. The fact that the two limited editions are made out of either titanium or blue ceramic didn’t make it any easier. Although the design is the same, the different materials made the two, limited editions (only 200 of each were made) look incredibly dissimilar. The titanium version is polished to perfection—another one of Orlinski’s signatures. This is quite a contrast with the blue ceramic version, which is bead blasted, giving it a matte finish. Combined with the black details and strap, it is a contrast of color, which makes it the more sporty-looking watch of the two.

Hublot's complete redesign of the Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph also becomes evident at the back of the watch. From behind the sapphire glass of the reworked case back one gets to admire the HUB1155 automatic chronograph caliber. It has a 42-hour power reserve, and next to the chronograph function, it also

features the date. These complications are displayed on the sapphire crystal dial, which gives an insight into the inner workings of the movement, yet at the same time also allows for easy reading of the time, as well as the chronograph function. The Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski is yet another example how Hublot does collaborations that no other brand can. Both models are a work of art, in the style Richard Orlinski became famous for, but somehow still distinctly a Hublot. The combination results in a true expression of pure horological art.

color-coding that Pirelli uses for its Formula 1 racing tires. Both have a black titanium case, in which you can find Calibre 820SQ, with its signature skeletonized bridges and micro-rotor. Additionally, the strap is made from rubber, which comes from race tires that have been used by a Formula 1 car. The Excalibur Aventador S also gets two very exciting new additions to its lineup, each with a very different personality. The Excalibur Aventador S Blue is everything one might expect from a high-performance car. Powered by the RD103SQ movement, with its distinctive, double balance wheels, it is made from C-SMC carbon, which Lamborghini itself uses to craft its cars. The blue accents in the watch and the strap are put in contrast with red hands, minute markers and the outer ring of the dial. Combined, they offer a vibrant explosion of color. The Excalibur Aventador S Pink Gold shows the more formal side of the watch. For this version, Roger Dubuis fits a titanium container—which holds the movement—in a multi-layer carbon case, and a pink gold bezel, over-molded with black rubber. A few years ago this combination of materials was unheard of, yet now they are used combined to establish a synergy, which gives a new dynamic to luxury watchmaking.

CIGARETTE RACING 50 MARAUDER GT S/ MERCEDES-BENZ AMG It may seem a little strange for Cigarette Racing and Mercedes-Benz AMG to collaborate on a boat. One is known for building ridiculous multi-engine offshore powerboats with the subtlety of being slapped in the face with a 16-lb. sledgehammer. The other, a textbook German outfit renowned for creating technologically advanced driving machines that, despite their huge performance, are relatively subtle in their execution. Strange indeed, but it’s a clash of cultures that make the likes of the AMG Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder GT S so intriguing.

MERCEDES-BENZ ARROW460-GRANTURISMO With the Mercedes-Benz range spanning everything from the X-Class pickup truck to the ultra-luxury Maybach subbrand, there is much scope for the company when it comes to building an oceangoing craft. While AMG’s collaboration with Cigarette Racing is covering the high-performance side, it was up to the United Kingdom’s Silver Arrows Marine to create a suitable luxury cruiser, the Arrow460-Granturismo. Here, sumptuous luxury comes before outright performance, as the Arrow460-Granturismo has been designed to pamper more than thrill. That’s not to say that the 460’s twin six-cylinder turbo diesels can’t raise a smile, but once you see the interior, you’ll understand that this is an S-Class that just happens to float. Up to 10 guests can relax in the Granturismo’s interior, with its large glazing and open layout creating a light, bright and spacious feeling. The blue and gray color scheme is complemented by the fine grain eucalyptus with Mercedes S-Class air conditioning ushering in the conditioned air.

HOW BILLIONAIRE STEVE TISCH’S FIANCÉE CONTINUES TO INSPIRE HIM TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. BY: LAURA SCHREFFLER

It’s often said that the best love makes you a better person, and this statement couldn’t be truer for billionaire Steve Tisch and Brazilian beauty Katia Francesconi, who, after meeting and falling in love in late 2014, immediately joined forces the following year to create the nonprofit Francesconi-Tisch Charitable Fund, which helps underprivileged youths to become confident, successful and contributing members of society. Shortly after their first fated meeting, Tisch, the chairman of the NFL’s New York Giants, a prolific, Oscar-winning film producer and a stakeholder in his family’s Loews Corporation, joined Francesconi, who then worked in sales and marketing, for his first trip to her home of São Paulo, where he saw firsthand what it was like for those who live with extreme poverty. Brazil has some of the highest income inequality of any country in the world, and many of its poorest citizens live in slums ruled by drug lords. Because of their limited options, many children end up becoming involved in crimes that include drug trafficking. It is a vicious circle, and one that doesn’t allow for many to break free. Just one visit convinced Tisch that he needed to make a difference.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE (Clockwise from left) Tisch and Katia working at Vista Del Mar Child & Family Services, where the couple has donated a garden (now referred to as “Katia’s Garden”).

“When Katia asked if we could create a fund to address [poverty and crime], my response to her was an enthusiastic ‘Yes!’ Katia has opened my eyes and my heart to the beauty and magic of Brazil, as well as to the numerous challenges in He and Francesconi are now committed to providing children and teens with tools and opportunities to help achieve a better future. They work with youth in Katia’s home country, as well as in Southern California and New York City— where Tisch has home bases—partnering with other charities to enhance the successful programs the organizations already have in place. A few of their passion projects include the Vista Del Mar Child & Family Services, where the fund donated a garden (now referred to as “Katia’s Garden”) where kids learn to grow and prepare their own foods; DreamYard, a Bronx-based arts and social-justice organization; The Brazil Foundation, which works locally in Brazil to distribute resources to charities in need; Gerando Falcões, an organization that believes skin color and socioeconomic background should not determine what one is able to accomplish in life; and Sítio Esperança—or Hope Farm—a Brazilian organization that focuses on ecological and social-awareness programs with the goal of developing positive personal values. Tisch, 69, learned the art of giving back early in life, crediting his mother,

her home country,” Tisch says.

Joan, and father, Preston Robert, a film and television executive who also served as the United States Postmaster General, with his penchant for being charitable. “Because of my parents, sharing my good fortune with others is definitely in my DNA,” he notes. “My parents were amazing role models regarding philanthropy. They taught my siblings and me by example, and made us aware from a young age that it is important to leave the world better than how you found it. [From my parents] I saw wonderful examples of kindness, respect, gratitude and appreciation.” The first organization he supported was New York City’s Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC) in 1985, where his mother volunteered working with young men and women in the early fight against AIDS. He has dedicated his time, attention and finances to nonprofits in the arts, medical research, education and AIDS/HIV research forums ever since. It is his “day jobs” that allow Tisch the luxury of giving back in the way he was raised to. He is, after all, the only person with a Golden Globe, an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy nomination and Super Bowl rings. Through Escape Artists, an independently financed film production company based at Sony Pictures Entertainment— the result of a merger between his Steve Tisch Company and Todd Black and Jason Blumenthal’s Black & Blu—he is responsible for the Oscar-winning 1994 drama Forrest Gump, as well as a slew of Denzel Washington’s recent major movies, such as The Taking of Pelham 123, The Equalizer, The Magnificent Seven, 2017’s Oscarnominated Roman J. Israel, Esq. and the upcoming The Equalizer 2, among other projects. Working with the New York Giants, the $1.2 billion-valued football franchise his family co-owns with Wellington Mara (who is, coincidentally, the grandfather of Hollywood actresses Rooney and Kate Mara), he has accepted the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy twice, when the Giants won both Super Bowl XLII and XLVI. “There are many ‘highlights’ of my career,” he admits. “Winning two Super Bowls is obviously incredibly special. Winning the Oscar for producing Forrest Gump is another highlight. I am proud to have been a producer of American History X, The Pursuit of Happyness and Seven Pounds—movies that I believe not only entertained, but also educated and empowered. I am very fortunate to be in two very exciting industries: the motion-picture business and co-owning, with my sister, Laurie, my brother, Jon, and the Mara family, the New York Giants. Being able to assist in providing entertainment for people is very rewarding… but even more meaningful is family. I have five wonderful children, and my fiancée, Katia, is my best friend and life partner.” Later this year, he’ll marry his best friend and life partner in what is sure to be a lavish (and likely philanthropic) ceremony, albeit one the two are keeping carefully under wraps to maintain their privacy. Tisch, who has been married twice before, finally knows the meaning of true love, and if that makes him sentimental, so be it. After all, he was born on Valentine’s Day. “[Katia] and my children inspire me to be a better man and to help make a difference in the lives of others,” he avows, adding, “I hope every day I live a life with those qualities and share it with my children, Katia, my brother and sister, and with amazing people I will meet in the future.”

ONE ON ONE WITH KATIA FRANCESCONI Can you tell us how the Francesconi-Tisch Charitable Fund came to be? In 2014, after my fiancé joined me in Brazil and witnessed the extreme poverty and dire conditions of children living in the slums of São Paulo, we talked about ways that we could help make a difference. That trip cemented our commitment to create a charitable organization that would fund programs specifically designed to help children in need, both in Brazil and elsewhere. Why is this cause so personally important to you? Growing up in São Paulo, I witnessed the sad reality of children born into impoverished families that lacked hope for a better future. Later in life, with my aunt, I visited one of São Paulo’s poorest and most dangerous slums. She had been volunteering there for years. It was a frightening and eye-opening experience for me. The conditions were so desperate and the kids were so vulnerable it broke my heart. They were trapped in a cycle of poverty and abuse, and I vowed to dedicate my time to finding a way to help them. How specifically does the organization give back? Currently, I’m working with young adults at Vista Del Mar Child & Family Services. One of my personal passions is nutrition, and helping Vista expand its Garden-to-Table initiative has been a mutual blessing. Seeing their faces light up with pride is a beautiful reminder that kindness,

love and support can have a ripple effect in our community. In Brazil, we partner with organizations and programs that are helping children overcome the prison of poverty so they can have hope for a better life. What, to you, is the greatest luxury in life and why? Good health has always been a priority in my life. For a few years, I didn’t know I was suffering from an autoimmune condition. During this time, I turned to food to help keep me as healthy and as strong as possible. I believe proper nutrition is one of the key essentials to having a good life. Without good health, little else matters. When our mind, body and soul are nourished, we have a larger capacity to succeed and make a difference in the world.

TheHAUTE LISTAuto THE NEED FOR SPEED… AND COMFORT Lamborghini launches the Urus: The world’s first super SUV and the world’s fastest SUV

Lamborghini—a name long known for the most impressive sports cars—is raising the bar, yet again, with the launch of the Lamborghini Urus: The world’s first Super Sport Utility Vehicle. Staying true to Lamborghini’s dedication to gorgeous design, high performance and unparalleled power, the introduction of the Urus is a real game changer in the world of luxury SUVs. “The Lamborghini Urus is a visionary approach based on the infusion of Lamborghini DNA into the most versatile vehicle, the SUV,” began Stefano Domenicali, Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The Urus elevates the SUV to a level not previously possible: The Super SUV. It is a true Lamborghini in terms of design, performance, driving dynamics and emotion, as well as drivable every day in a range of environments. It is a culmination of intensive development and passionate skill to create a new breed of bull: A super SUV that transcends the boundaries of expectations and opens the door to new possibilities, for both our brand and our customers.” The technical details are just as impressive as one would expect from a Lamborghini. The Urus touts a new, front-mounted 4.0 liter V8 twin-turbo engine with 650 horsepower (478 kW) at 6,000 rpm and a maximum of 6,800 rpm. Accelerating from 0-100km/hour in just 3.6 seconds and with a top speed

of 305 km/h, it is the fastest SUV on the market. Additionally, its four-wheel drive system makes for an incredibly secure drive with highlyresponsive driving dynamics in all environments and weather conditions, as does the carbon ceramic brakes (CCB), and a range of wheel options from 21-23 inches, offered with summer, winter, all-season, all-train and sports tires—all of which were specially developed by Pirelli for the Lamborghini Urus. The interior boasts a fully-digital and customizable TFT display with animated 3D representation of information and a 3,003mm wheelbase with low seating position for all occupants. Though the Urus is a new style for the Lamborghini fleet, it is still, very recognizably, a Lamborghini. Inspired by the LM002 and other super Lamborghini sports cars, it retains the two-thirds body and one-third window ratio, though it offers a bit more space on the inside for the driver/passengers—five occupants in total. It also features “a dynamic, coupé-style fly line, accented by the frames doors and emphasizing the typical Lamborghini characteristic of a lower front end… The Y-shaped front air intakes, also a feature of the LM002, are detailed with the Italian flag: the Urus is born and made in Italy.” And that luxurious Italian style is a prominent feature through the vehicle, as it uses the most high quality leather, Alcantara, aluminum, carbon fiber and wood—some of which are customizable, per the buyer’s preferences.

APPAMAN FOR THE LITTLE MAN (OR LADY) With a wide range of styles for boys and girls, Appaman has become a favorite brand among celebrity parents. Celebrity parents are always the first ones in-the-know when it comes to the latest and greatest kids brands for their babes. Appaman has long been a celebrity-parent favorite. Norwegian founder and designer Harald Husum created the brand in 2003 and named it after his childhood companion—a stuffed animal made from corduroy named Appaman. Per the brand, “Appaman reflects the whimsical spirit of those youthful times and celebrates the unbreakable bond between a boy and his ape.” Taking inspiration from streetwear, Husum fuses these elements into his pieces, creating gorgeous, high-quality clothes that are fun and even sophisticated for the little ones. There are a few pieces that celebrity parents are particularly fond of. For instance, Kim Kardashian loves the Pink Fur Coat; Hilaria and Alec Baldwin love the Adler Tee in pumpkin spice, the Nikki Bomber in Rose Quartz and the Long KEEPING UP WITH REIGN Reign Disick poses for a shot with his aunt, while wearing Appaman.

Down Coat in sparkle black; Ashlee Simpson loves the Tibetan Red Velvet Mod Suit; and Gwen Stefani loves the Seaport Velvet Mod Suit. Several celebrity kids turn to the brand for more formal styles, such as Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick‘s son Reign Disick—with aunt Khloé Kardashian (pictured to the left) wearing a sophisticated Appaman look.

MATCHING MINI WITH MOMMY Mott50 creates matching mother-and-baby swim styles for the most adorable, photo-ready moments.

Who could forget when Chrissy Teigen posted that absolutely adorable photo of her and her daughter, Luna, twinning in avocado-print swimsuits? That may have been one of the most memorable celebrity mom-and-baby moments in history. The brand that makes the matching styles is called Mott50. Not only do they still sell the Mini Mila (pictured on Luna) and the Kelly (pictured on Chrissy) styles, but they also have a large selection of equally adorable styles for mom and for baby. For instance, the zebra-print, elephant-print and emoji-print swimsuits are kid favorites, while mom may opt for the stylish and practical Mila style: A longsleeved one piece in striking magenta or simple white coloring, with a sexy, bellybutton-length front zip. The fabrics are soft and comfortable, as well as quickdryingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;perfect for the active mom who enjoys water sports and/or beach-related activities. And a huge, added bonus is that every single garment that the brand PHOTOS: MOTT50

GOOD MAMA FOR THE SOON-TO-BE MAMAS During her pregnancy, Khloé Kardashian launched a maternity collection with the clothing company she co-founded, Good American After sisters Kylie and Kim welcomed new additions to their growing families, Khloé Kardashian was the last of the Kardashian/Jenner clan to have a baby... at least for now. So we’re all eyes on Khloé, who recently gave birth to baby girl True Thompson. During her pregnancy, the youngest Kardashian didn’t sacrifice her style for comfort. With the clothing company she co-founded, Good American, Khloé launched a line of Good American maternity clothes, called Good Mama, so she could have both. The collection features two different, flattering styles. The Honeymoon— named for the first stage of pregnancy, where some women don’t necessarily show their growing bumps—touts two elastic panels on either side of the jean for comfort and to create a flattering shape. The elastic panels are also nonrestrictive, so that moms-to-be are not left with annoying marks on their hips and sides. This fit is available in mid and low-rise styles. The Home Stretch style, on the other hand, is for mamas that are about to pop! Per the brand, it “offers an ultra-soft belly cocoon with the ultimate recovery for full and cozy coverage near the end of a pregPHOTOS: GOOD AMERICAN

nancy.” Both are available in sizes 00-24 for soon-to-be moms of all shapes and sizes. Khloé was, of course, photographed wearing the styles. But even in the later stages of her pregnancy, she said she was still a fan of the Honeymoon fit. She was also kind enough to have gifted the jeans to some of her celebrity friends who are expecting, such as Eva Longoria.

SCARPETTA’S FLAGSHIP FINDS A NEW HOME Founder & president of LDV Hospitality John Meadow shares his insight on the iconic restaurant’s expansion. After 10 successful years in the Meatpacking District, LDV Hospitality’s Scarpetta officially has a new flagship location at The James New York – NoMad. The new flagship location draws inspiration from its original Meatpacking location but has dramatically expanded in size, featuring an expansive 50-seat bar and café where guests can order off the full menu. Scarpetta fans will be thrilled to taste the iconic menu of seasonal, gourmet Italian fare led by executive chef Jorge Espinoza. The new Scarpetta will feature all of the signature classics including the notable Spaghetti Tomato & Basil, Yellowtail Crudo, Creamy Polenta, Short Rib Agnolotti and Roasted Branzino. The cocktail menu will also feature staple drinks such as the San Remo and Negroni, but seasonal cocktails will rotate throughout the year. Scarpetta’s brunch program launched mid-April. Highlights include sweet and savory menu items like Avocado Toast, Egg White Frittata, Ricotta Pancakes and Almond French Toast along with a cocktail, coffee and tea program. Since the restaurant’s Meatpacking debut back in 2008, Scarpetta Restaurants were so well received that additional locations opened at The Fontainebleau in Miami, The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Gurney’s Resort in Montauk, Gurney’s Resort in Newport, R.I., The Rittenhouse Hotel in Philadelphia and now The James New York – NoMad.

LA DOLCE VITA (photographed above), is one of the restaurant’s signature libations. Photo to the right: John Meadow, Founder and President of LDV Hospitality.

The philosophy behind Scarpetta’s kitchen is to create bold flavors by enhancing the essence of seasonal ingredients enjoyable down to the very last bite. The signature pastas are prepared in-house each day and are paired with only the highest quality, locally sourced ingredients. Founder & president of LDV Hospitality John Meadow tells us, “Scarpetta has always been at once informal, comfortable and elegant grounded with a passion for old-world hospitality. It is the quintessential New York City restaurant. Our guests enjoy ordering several dishes to share for the table, as opposed to our earlier years when the preferred style of dining was more individualized. Rather than the structured approach, the new menu is built for sharing and conviviality. We look forward to welcoming locals and visitors to the new location.” We spoke with Meadow to further get his insight on the exciting opening of Scarpetta NoMad. HL: What sets this Scarpetta location apart from the rest? JM: This location is the result of 10 years of learning and the desire to have the brand evolve. It maintains the core DNA of the original, but is more refined. We have grown up a bit but stay true to our balance of approachable elegance. HL: What are your goals with opening a location in this part of NYC? JM: We want to reintroduce our loyal guests to the Scarpetta experience, and connect with our eclectic and tasteful NoMad neighbors. We also created a café and bar area as an experience unto itself, where we will serve lunch,

27TH MONACO YACHT SHOW The most spectacular yacht show in the world Once again, I found myself at the Port Hercule touring over 125 mega yachts, amazed that The Monaco Yacht Show is indeed the Mecca of the yachting community. The show last year included the notable strong attendance of American and Russian clients and the largest and youngest fleet ever with 50 per cent of yachts less than two years old and an average length of 49m. As tens of thousands of visitors fought their way through four days of yachts on exhibit and marketing events, it’s important to pin down a certain type of clientele in this unique opportunity. Some 36,400 participants walked the electric-blue carpet with some invited via the organizer’s new Sapphire Experience

By night, the bright lights of Monaco formed a spectacular backdrop to over 150 private events. I hang out most of the nights at the Monaco Yacht Club for dinners and drinks with friends. But there was the annual gala party, where forward-thinking Heesen’s Home, Oceanco’s showstopper Jubilee and Italian masterpiece Seven Sins by San Lorenzo, swept up the awards. Lurssen hosted their party this time at the Monaco Yacht Club instead of one of their mega yachts. It’s not the same ambiance compared to the past Lurssen parties I attended on-board Solandge and Quattroelle. My “trophy yacht” is Lurssen’s Areti. Dubbed “a yachtsman’s yacht,” the 85-meter Areti was custom-designed and built for a Russian client with its layout oriented towards intimate and cozy spaces for family and friends. A stunning feat

Arnold Lehman, who led the Brooklyn Museum for 18 years, curated a very popular exhibition of extraordinary artists in our London gallery, which included work by Kehinde Wiley, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jack Whitten, David Hammons, and many others. And in our most recent London auction, we set a world-record price of $11.9 million for Mark Bradford’s Helter Skelter I, an astonishing work by one of the greatest painters of our time. HL: As you approach your one-year anniversary with Phillips Auction House, what have been some of your highlights? CW: It’s been an extraordinary year...I’ve had the opportunity to work with an exceptional team assembled by Edward Dolman, our CEO. And Phillips’s overall sales in 2017 rose 25%, driven by a strong market for contemporary art, increased sales in Hong Kong and strong performances by all of our departments.
