hat do you get the man who has everything? That was Jane Rosenthal’s conundrum as her Tribeca Festival (formerly, the Tribeca Film Festival) co-founder Robert De Niro’s 80th birthday loomed. And then she had an epiphany: De Niro Con.

Two full days at the tail end of this year’s festival, which runs from June 5 to 16, will be dedicated solely to the iconic actor. The best part: he has no idea what’s in store. But we do — and it’s pretty epic.

Rosenthal has pulled out all the stops in her bid to give the man of the hour a truly unforgettable surprise party, even wrangling some of Hollywood’s heaviest hitters to make appearances. Luckily, they’re all guys he calls friends. There are conversations with longtime collaborator Martin Scorsese and rapper Nas around the 50th anniversary of Mean Streets; directors Quentin Tarantino and David O. Russell, with who he worked on Jackie Brown and Silver Linings Playbook, respectively; Analyze That co-star Billy Crystal; and French artist JR, who directed De Niro in the short film Ellis, who he is collaborating with once again on the documentary The Past Goes Fast.

And those are just the confirmed speakers. No doubt, a slew of celebrities will be popping up at Bob’s party: the Tribeca Hub, located at Spring Studios, will be buzzing with big names keen to explore De Niro’s world. As you can see, Rosenthal really went all out here: instead of buying the metaphorical cake, she bought the whole damn bakery. From June 14 to 16, those sweet surprises include De Niro Is an Icon: An Exhibit & Immersive Film, an exhibition of 300 curated items from his personal archive, housed at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, Texas — annotated scripts, costumes, research material, photographs, screenings of 13 classic films; panels, including “Dressing De Niro,” a behind-the-scenes anecdotal look at his character prep with longtime costume designer Aude Bronson-Howard and dresser Monica Ruiz-Ziegler, as well as “Drew Nieporent: Building Restaurants with De Niro,” a discussion on his impact within the restaurant industry (he owns the storied Tribeca Grill and co-founded the Nobu restaurant and hotel empire alongside Nobu Matsuhisa and Meir Teper); and the world premiere of the short film De Niro, New York, which will be presented within the Hexadome, a cutting-edge structure and format created by the Berlin Institute for Sound and Music, an immersive installation with six screens and 52 channels of sound.

And then, there’s the activations — tongue-in-cheek moments based on beloved films at the Rupert Pupkin Hall of Fan Experiences. Temporary (or real) tattoos are on offer at Max Cady’s prison parlor, a nod to Cape Fear; Jack Byrnes’ infamous polygraph test is available to take from Meet the Parents; and one can hang out in Taxi Driver Travis Bickles’ bedroom, repeating, “Are you talking to me?” or slug it out like Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull. There’s a “dress like your favorite De Niro character” day in“The Apalachin Meeting: A Gathering for Fans”; a De Niro trivia night; an improv night; a kid-friendly live concert performed by the Rock and Roll Playhouse, inspired by the film Shark Tale; and — my personal favorite — the De Niro Hero sandwich competition (which makes sense, says Rosenthal, because every bodega and sandwich shop in the tri-state area has a sammie named after the star).

“We’re paying a huge respect to him, but we’re also really trying to have some fun with it,” Rosenthal says, happily noting that she’s been able to keep most of this from the man himself, which is no mean feat considering its scope.

“I did tell him about it,” she protests. “It’s been going on for a year because

of the actors’ strike — it was initially meant to happen last fall, just after he turned 80 (his birthday is August 17). I would tell him certain things, and he’d say, ‘OK, yeah, fine. Well, that’s interesting.’ And then I stopped telling him about it. I’m equally anxious and excited about him seeing all this, but I think he’ll be really happy. I mean, it’s hard to get a gift for him — especially for his 80th birthday. So, this is our way of saying ‘happy birthday.’”

She anticipates that the best part of this birthday bonanza for Bob will likely be reconnecting with Scorsese, with whom he’s worked on 10 films, starting with 1975’s The Godfather Part II, which earned him his first of two Oscars, and, most recently, on 2023’s Killers of the Flower Moon. “I think that anytime he and Marty sit down together, it is one and one equals five. To be able to look at Mean Streets, which is now 50 years old, and to see what’s going on in all their lives, will be emotional.”

But how did Nas factor into the equation? The iconic rapper seemingly has no ties to De Niro: the key word here being “seemingly.” Rosenthal explains, “Nas is coming in to speak about how this film related to his life growing up, which is a great way to see its cultural relevance 50 years later. We’ve actually been talking to Nas about doing a remake of Mean Streets; Nas and Marty have met twice already, and they’ve talked a lot about how it replicates what Nas’ life was like growing up in (the housing project) Queensbridge.” Not-so-coincidentally, 2025 also marks the 30th anniversary of the rapper’s iconic album, Illmatic, which speaks to said mean streets for an additional layer of synergy.

Yes, it’s a lot to take in, but Rosenthal is confident that all will hit the mark. It’s the element of surprise, you see. After nearly six decades in the industry, nothing much manages to shock the star. But if you can manage to do so, and illicit that signature hearty laugh, see the crinkle of his eyes, it’s a win. And for her part, Rosenthal is betting on a lot of laughter — and maybe some tears. “I think he’ll love it all,” she confesses. “We’ve put together these private moments for him to look back at his career, and I think it will be very special.”

De Niro Con is her personal way of giving back to the man who has given so much of himself to TriBeCa, to New York, to the film community, and to her. Along with Craig Hatkoff, she and De Niro conceived the festival in 2002 as a direct response to the attacks on the World Trade Center, with the intention of revitalizing the economic and cultural revitalization of lower Manhattan and bringing hope through an annual celebration of film, music, and culture in the wake of tragedy.

Rosenthal explains, “After 9/11, New York needed the movies to recover. We needed to laugh. [The tragedy] affected New York, all of the country, but clearly those of us downtown really needed something to look forward to. We were able to get the film festival produced in 120 days. Bob was front and center whenever we needed him to do anything. He’s the consummate citizen the best booster that this city could ever have.”

On his end, De Niro is self-deprecating. “I don’t really do much,” he tells me. “I’m just there, and I go to things — I just don’t have the time to look at movies and stuff, as much as I’d like to. But I am very much part of it.”

That being said, he relies entirely on Rosenthal to sort the minutiae. He shows up “on Bob time” (which is how his friends fondly refer to his chronic yet understandable lateness) and does his part. “Jane knows all the programming and the other details that I don’t. I’m there as backup in some ways, and vice versa.”

Their relationship is certainly one that has evolved over time. Rosenthal will always be eternally grateful for his trust and belief in her. After nearly 35 years of collaboration, their lives are indelibly intertwined on both personal and professional levels. They didn’t just create the festival, but also cofounded the Tribeca Film Center in 1989; she also produced 2006’s The Good Shepherd, his second directorial effort (the first was 1993’s A Bronx Tale).

“It will be 35 years in August that we’ve been working together. On a professional level, he had an idea of building the Tribeca Film Center, and he gave me an opportunity and said, ‘OK, this is what I want to do,’ and I went and did it, clearly with his support. I was here day in and day out, and he would go off and make a movie and check in. We have our rhythm of what he needs to know about and what he doesn’t want to bother with. It’s like any relationship: you continuously learn about each other. And like any relationship, we can disagree with each other. I mean, that’s how you grow. I think we’ve been able to do that successfully. I said something to him last year, like, ‘Do you know we’re going on 34 years of working together, can you believe it?’ And he said, ‘No, but we should have a party next year’ and I was like, ‘Well, what about this year?’” She laughs, and it sounds in parts exasperated and affectionate. “But that’s just Bob. He’s hard to define.”

Try, I say — and she does.

“He’s the greatest actor, period, and a great father. Personally, we’ve watched our kids grow up. I have one daughter who’s 29, and one daughter who’s 25, and [he has seven children including] his new baby. He’s over the moon about his two little kids, but even he says that you’re a different father with your first one than you are with your second, your third, and so on.”

She isn’t surprised that he had his youngest child at 79, but then, nothing really surprises her about the star. What she can say is how impressed by him she is, and how proud — particularly for challenging the system in regard to political matters. “I’m proudest of his passion and commitment to our country’s democracy, his passion for questioning what is right and wrong. Citizen Bob goes at it with as much research, knowledge, and determination as he’ll put into any role — which is even more important, because this is real life. I look at that, and I’m just so proud to know him.”

Yes, Bob, Jane is talking to you. But these glowing reviews, unlike your party, are no surprise

writes is a mystery. Here, in this fully dark Greenwich Hotel suite bedroom, I can see nothing. But my hearing isn’t an issue, and it is that voice, that distinctive rasp with a thick New York accent which the world first heard in Brian De Palma’s 1969 film, The Wedding Party, that I hear, loud and clear.

It is the voice we heard as a young Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II, and as Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull, both of which were directed by Martin Scorsese, and both of which earned him Oscars. It’s been heard in iconic films like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Casino, American Hustle, Joker, Brazil, The Untouchables, Heat, The Irishman, Once Upon a Time in America, The Deer Hunter, Awakenings, and Silver Linings Playbook, and in Tribeca-produced features such as The Wizard of Lies, Thunderheart, Cape Fear, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Analyze This, Marvin’s Room, and many, many more.

The voice comes from a man who has won every major award in his lifetime that one could possibly hope to get, including those two aforementioned Oscars, the coveted Kennedy Center Honor, the Hollywood Actor Award from the Hollywood Film Festival, the Stanley Kubrick Award from the BAFTA Britannia Awards, the SAG Life Achievement Award, the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which he received from then-president Barack Obama in 2016.

And today, three weeks after our April shoot, it is the voice I hear — and the face I see — over Zoom. It sounds tired, and there’s evidence to back this up in that “call me Bob” is currently lying on his couch, exhausted after long days with early call times shooting Zero Day, a six-part limited political thriller series for Netflix co-starring Angela Bassett, Dan Stevens, and Matthew Modine that will likely wrap in late June. It’s a project that’s been in play for a long time, given that both the writers’ and actors’ strikes shut down production.

Today is his day off, but he still managed to pack in a lot, including our interview, which is his final commitment this Friday. When Bob makes a commitment, he likes to be fully present, so, when his cell phone rings during our chat, he doesn’t even bother to look at the number. “I’m doing an interview right now,” he tells the disembodied voice. He pauses for a second and hangs up. “It was spam,” he says sheepishly.

We’re back to business, an explanation of his horizontal stance. “I’ve been up a long time. I didn’t shoot today, but I’m on that schedule so I got up early,” he explains. “It’s alright; it is what it is. That’s what you have to do; it’s part of the deal. If you enjoy doing it and so on, then that’s 80 percent of your motivation right there.”

he first time I meet birthday boy Robert De Niro, he disarms me as he shuffles into our shoot at The Greenwich Hotel, the boutique property he opened downtown in 2008, running a little late as per usual from an on-site business lunch. Should I be deferential, reverential, or both? Do I call him “sir”? I feel like I should, but I’m wrong.

“Call me Bob,” he says simply.

He’s quiet and polite, gamely going about the business of show business, waiting for it to be over, grazing on pretzels and endless mugs of tea that he likes so hot they need to be microwaved immediately after boiling. He only seems to light up when we shut him in a dark room with a laser pointer.

Bet you’ve never done this before, I say. “I can’t say I have,” he admits. But he’s intrigued, and he wants to get it right.

“What should I write?” he wonders, looking at the pointer quizzically. To which “Trump sucks” is suggested — only because De Niro is so vocal about his hatred of the former president. This recommendation elicits a low and familiar chuckle, and he begins writing immediately, but what he actually

Is it a deal he stills enjoys though, after all these years? De Niro does not hesitate, declaring, “Oh yeah, of course I do.” Yet, it’s still a day job. He can’t remember the last time he went to the cinema for pure personal enjoyment. But it’s not like he has an overwhelming amount of free time. In addition to shooting Zero Day, he’s busy running an empire in Tribeca Enterprises, the multi-platform media and entertainment company that encompasses the Tribeca Festival, Tribeca Studios, and production company he founded in 2003 (of which James Murdoch’s Lupa Systems purchased a major stake in 2019); the Nobu restaurant and hotel brand; and the iconic Greenwich Hotel. Oh yes, and there is that thing we like to call “acting,” too.

In addition to shooting the aforementioned Zero Day, in which he plays a former president that he likens to Biden or Barack Obama, he has two films in the can. There is Alto Knights for Barry Levinson, about a pair of Italian Americans who run two separate crime families in the mid 20th century, and the recently released Ezra, which focuses on a comedian’s life-changing cross-country journey as he attempts to make major decisions regarding the future of his autistic son.

I’m curious about how De Niro picks his projects as this stage of his career, when only the crème de la crème of scripts make it to his desk, and Ezra is the

perfect example. It was personal for the actor, whose own son, 26-year-old Elliot, has autism. “It depends. If I like the script, or if I like the director but maybe the script needs work, then there will be something about it that makes sense. The script can always get better, and that might be all it needs. Ezra was something I was not sure I wanted to do for a while, but the team was so nice. The director, Tony Goldwyn, the writer, Tony Spiridakis, the whole group, really, were just all nice people trying to get this thing going, so we did. And here we are.”

After Zero Day, Bob blissfully has no projects booked. Although that will likely change, it sounds like he might just really enjoy a few solid days of sleep, and quality time with his family — especially given that his seventh child was only born last April.

Not going to lie, parenting at 80 sounds exhausting. But Bob disagrees. “I’m lucky,” he declares. “I have had help doing it with the kids, with the babies, so that makes it easier, more manageable. [My newborn] is a little doll. There’s nothing like it.”

As Rosenthal noted though, a first child versus a second (or seventh in this case) is a vastly different experience. He’s the father to Drena, 52, and son Raphael, 47, whose mother is ex-wife Diahnne Abbot; twins Julian and Aaron, whose mother is model and actress Toukie Smith, are 28; he shares Elliot, 26, and Helen Grace, 12, with ex-wife Grace Hightower; and last but not least, he now has 14-month-old daughter Gia with girlfriend Tiffany Chen, a martial arts instructor he met on the set of his 2015 film, The Intern. But for De Niro, having a newborn at any age is an opportunity to experience pure joy again, at the most basic and beautiful of levels. “The baby is so cute, and so innocent, and so lovable. Every little word that she says or every little beginning of a word that she’s starting to say now — is very sweet and adorable. It’s that simple.”

Her possible first word indicates exactly what kind of girl little Gia is going to be. “My girlfriend told me that she said a word close to ‘dada’ yesterday. I wasn’t there, but she was looking for something yesterday, and she said the word.” The way that he marvels at this is incredibly sweet, and for all that I am talking to the legendary Robert De Niro, it’s lovely to see that he can easily slip into the role of typical family guy, Bob, too.

What he ultimately wants, he says, is happiness for all of his kids, no matter what that looks like or what paths they follow. Most certainly, they’re part of his personal legacy, but because we’re retrospectively talking about his storied career and his 80th trip around the sun (soon to be 81st, come August) I’m curious to what the rest of said legacy looks like, in his opinion. “I don’t know,” he admits. “I would hope that the movies that I’ve done at least certain movies — would be remembered, especially the things I’ve done with Marty Scorsese, whom I’ve been lucky to work with so many times. That’s it. I try my best whatever I do, be it my kids or my career.”

Which isn’t to say his life has been perfect: he’s human, after all. “I’ve had regrets about some things, but nothing that’s too regretful,” he says with a smile. “That’s life.”

A life he could not abide is one where he didn’t fight for what he believed in and De Niro seems to physically awaken when discussing the upcoming election. He certainly sits up, abandoning his lethargic position to exacerbate his stance.

“I feel very strongly about several things, and one of them is getting Biden elected, because we’re going to be in big trouble if it’s not him and it turns out to be Trump; it wouldn’t be a good situation for this country,” he declares. “To do anything else other than that would be chaos and

insanity. Insanity. And that’s something I’m very concerned about, because it has happened in other societies. All of a sudden, a person like Trump will come along, talk a good game, and at the end of the day, they have nothing to offer, except a lot of blah, blah, blah chatter, and people sometimes buy it because they might be tired or disillusioned by other things. But that good game, that hustle — and a hustle that’s not even a very good one, like Trump’s — is frightening if it gets any further than his wanting to be president.”

As a strong, Italian man (who’s also Irish, Dutch, French, and German, although most may not be aware of it), De Niro scoffs that he isn’t afraid of Trump’s wrath in the wake of his very public campaigns for Biden. “Look, you never know what’s going to happen. But all I know is, at my age and stage of life, I’m not going to put up with any sort of nonsense — especially from that man. He’s a vindictive, mean, small no, mini-minded — person — and anything is possible. I always say he’s stupid; he’s a bully, but he’s a stupid bully. And it will be even more scary if he’s in power. It’ll be chaos, from one day to the next, like his own life, I guess. And he’s projecting that chaotic lifestyle onto us as Americans and onto the world. God forbid if he became president again. He’s nuts, and we don’t have time for that in a sane society.”

De Niro is digging his heels in: he will do whatever it takes to make this happen — something that he recently told President Biden during a state dinner for the Japanese Prime Minister at the White House in April. “I’ll do whatever he asks me to do, and I’ve told him that before as well,” he says staunchly. [He made good on his word mere weeks after our interview, holding a press conference about Trump’s threat to democracy outside the Manhattan courthouse where the former president’s hush money case was happening. That same day, he also sent out a mass email on behalf of the Biden-Harris administration urging folks to donate to their reelection campaign.]

Outside of the Trump-sized thorn in his side, though, De Niro is a reasonably happy guy. No life is perfect, after all, though it might seem so on the surface. Surely Instagram has taught us that. [Which, to note, De Niro does not have.]

“I don’t see how people can’t have some kind of struggle, whatever they’re doing — that’s life,” he says. “So, we take the ups with the downs, and happiness when it’s there… but don’t get too happy because there’s always something around the corner that’s going to want to dampen that. I always say, ‘Well, let’s not get too excited.’”

Is De Niro a pessimist or a realist? The answer: a little bit of both. Our conversation has turned philosophical as we discuss the meaning of happiness, its overall importance, and how happy one has to be to truly enjoy their lives. His take: 75 percent. “I don’t know people who are happier than that. I know some people look at life in a very upbeat way and who are good-natured, but even those people couldn’t claim to be fully happy. Some are content without money and don’t have any expectations. They take care of whatever they’re responsible for and that’s it. Look at the people in [blue zones]. Are they happy? They live simply in a lot of ways, and I guess you could say they are — or you could just say they’re content, and that’s OK, too.”

But what about you, Bob? “I’m doing OK,” he confides. “I have a lot going on in my life. I just want to make sure everything continues to be OK, to stay on track, and to keep on moving.”

THE DEFINITION OF HAUTE CUISINE

A tête-à-tête with Alain Ducasse, the most decorated living chef in the world.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

ALAIN DUCASSE MEANS EVERYTHING TO THE WORLD OF haute cuisine. With 19 Michelin stars to his name, he is the most decorated living chef in the world — the first, in fact, to have held three Michelin stars for three restaurants in three different countries. Haute Living had the opportunity to sit down with the French-born master in advance of his allstar appearance at this year’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards ceremony — which will be held on June 6 in Las Vegas — where he’ll be hosting an intimate dinner at his fine dining concept, Rivea, located at Delano Las Vegas. Here, we chat about everything from his favorite Michelin star peers to his guiltiest of pleasures.

How do you feel about Las Vegas as a culinary destination? Has its place evolved? Has it become a player, in your opinion?

Yes, definitely. The city attracts a host of excellent chefs and has an impressive number of very good venues.

You have 34 restaurants, 19 Michelin stars, culinary schools, chocolate, and biscuit artisan factories. You’re the most decorated chef in the world. What awards are the most significant to you?

There is only one significant reward: the one coming from the clients. As long as we can offer our guests a memorable moment of happiness, all our efforts are rewarded.

Do you still find the joy in cooking?

Today, I feel the same passion than the one I had in the early days of my career. Maybe even more, as today, my role is to be the art director of my restaurants, the culinary designer. It’s the most exciting part of the job — looking for ideas and talents and helping them blossom.

What still surprises you about the culinary world?

Everything! First and foremost, the tremendous vitality of the global culinary scene. Talents are everywhere; the level of the culinary offering is higher and higher, and the interest in food is always expanding.

What fellow Michelin-starred chefs do you support on a regular basis? I very frequently meet colleagues, be it at professional events or just for fun. Recently, Daniel Humm and I organized a four-hand event that took place at his restaurant Eleven Madison Park in New York, and mine at Le Meurice in Paris.

When you’re at home, what are you eating or drinking?

Since I’m constantly eating and tasting — it’s my job! — I have a very light diet at home.

What junk food is your guilty pleasure?

Chocolate! But I created the “Manufacture de Chocolat” in Paris, which produces high-quality chocolate, starting from the cocoa beans and following a traditional, artisanal process. It’s a delicious treat.

How often do you have time to check out other restaurants? When you do, what do you gravitate towards?

Frequently. For instance, when I’m traveling out of France, I always ask my local team to give me a few addresses. I always look for diversity in terms of styles of restaurants and emerging talents.

To you, what is the greatest luxury in life and why? Freedom. The freedom of doing what I love and the freedom of spending time meeting great people.

ETERNAL summer

With Dioriviera, Dior has mastered the art of summering. For the 2024 collection, inspired by the sun, Maria Grazia Chiuri has introduced new versions of the signature toile de Jouy print in refreshing shades of navy, coral, and water green on summery dresses, skirts, and accessories. Dior Maison has unveiled new additions imagined especially for the capsule such as crockery, glassware, and accessories, while also enhancing leisure and sports objects, outdoor furniture, and an array of other exceptional pieces. In tune with the concept of travel that Dioriviera embodies, expect to see the collection pop up at haute summer holiday spots like The Beverly Hills Hotel, Cannes, Marmaris, Hawaii, and Sanya.

FOR THE PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES, LOUIS VUITTON UNVEILS ITS MEDALS AND TORCHES TRUNKS.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

The highly anticipated 2024 summer Olympic and Paralympic Games are officially a few weeks away, placing all attention on Paris. In celebration of LVMH’s Premium Partnership with Paris 2024, it is only fitting that Louis Vuitton has designed two Medals Trunks to hold the medals of both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, along with two Torches Trunks. These creations are integral to the Maison’s mission for Paris 2024, continuing its legacy of crafting handmade trunks. The latter will play a central role throughout key moments of the Games, including the Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays, and will be prominently showcased at the Champions Park.

THE MEDALS TRUNK

The Paris 2024 Medals Trunks have been meticulously designed to protect, display, and showcase the coveted medals crafted by LVMH’s Maison Chaumet. They are adorned with the iconic Monogram canvas and feature brass corners and closures reminiscent of Louis Vuitton trunks from the 1850s. Inspired by the Maison’s renowned Malle Coiffeuse, the Medals Trunks have a central section and two hinged “wings” that open to reveal drawers specially designed to hold 468 medals. The interior is lined with black matte leather — also used for the drawer handles — and includes subtle embossed logos of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

THE TORCHES TRUNK

Drawing on Louis Vuitton’s 170 years of expertise in the art of travel, the Louis Vuitton Torches Trunks are crafted to elegantly protect and display the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Torches as they journey across France. The Olympic Torch will arrived in Marseille on May 8, and the Paralympic Torch will come from Stoke Mandeville in the UK in August. Created by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur, these torches will pass through the hands of over 11,000 torchbearers en route to Paris. The trunks are ingeniously designed with circular “sockets” in the base and lid to hold the torches securely. The interior, lined with soft black matte leather, further protects the torches. Each trunk can be transformed into a presentation case by unfolding the doors and reversing the “socket” in the lid to reveal an embossed Paris 2024 logo. The exterior of the trunks is covered in Louis Vuitton’s Damier canvas, created in 1888, and features traditional brass protective corners and closures.

As with every Louis Vuitton trunk made in Asnières since 1859, the Medals Trunks and Torches Trunks are designed and crafted at the highest level of precision. They embody the skills, high standards, and dedication to excellence that define Louis Vuitton and its artisans’ work — a direct parallel with the athletes competing at the Paris 2024 Games. Together, the Medals Trunks and Torches Trunks follow the brand’s motto, “Victory travels in Louis Vuitton.”

“VICTORY TRAVELS IN LOUIS VUITTON”

Louis Vuitton has long been celebrating the art of victory;the new Olympic trunks join an esteemed family of LV trophy trunks. In fact, for over 35 years, the brand has crafted trunks for the world’s most prestigious sporting events, including the America’s Cup, FIFA World Cup, F1 Grand Prix de Monaco, NBA Cup, Rugby World Cup, and Davis Cup, among others.

The trophy trunk design philosophy traces back to the Maison’s eponymous founder, who spent 17 years as a renowned layetier-emballeur (“professional packer and case maker” in French) before establishing his namesake brand in 1854. He dedicated his expertise to studying and understanding objects meticulously, creating bespoke trunks to protect them perfectly. These trunks represent the founding idea of protecting the ultimate symbol of victory that are trophies and medals.

DYNAMIC DUOS

Creative director Sabato De Sarno’s “mirroring” approach for the Fall/ Winter 2024 Men’s collection echoes the Gucci Ancora narrative that started in September, resetting the House’s wardrobe and esthetic by reflecting the emotions of the previous collection through the lens of menswear. In the designer’s own words in the Ancora Manifesto, “It’s a story of joy of life, of passion, of humanity, of people, of real life, of irreverent glamour, of provocation, of confidence, of simplicity, of immediate feelings and emotions.”

ITALIAN SUMMER

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

Fendi’s Summer 2024 collection by Kim Jones was inspired by Roman lifestyle, blending urban style with sun-drenched coastal charm. The collection reinterprets the Women’s Spring/Summer 2024 show color palette with pale blues, vivid reds, bright yellows, and contrasting neutrals, adding modern hues like salmon and golden yellow to sophisticated pastel beiges and browns. The signature Pequin pattern, in vibrant or neutral shades, adorns both women’s and men’s ready-towear, while denim takes on playful FF motifs and seasonal prints. Accessories by Silvia Venturini Fendi echo the theme with Pequin jacquard, FF denim, raffia, and woven leathers. Footwear combines function and elegance while Delfina Delettrez’s jewelry for the brand — including the bold Fendigraphy line — pays homage to the Pequin pattern with bi-color wood bangles, rings, and earrings. This summer, for the first time in its history, the house of Fendi will also unveil its first collection of fragrances.

DISCOVERY DIAMOND

HAUTE LIVING GOES ON AN EXCLUSIVE DISCOVERY TRIP WITH NATURAL DIAMOND COUNCIL GLOBAL AMBASSADOR AND EMMY-NOMINATED ACTRESS LILY JAMES.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

They often say knowledge is power, and with the Natural Diamond Council (NDC), that saying could not ring truer. A non-profit organization dedicated to revealing the real, rare, and responsible values of natural diamonds through its Only Natural Diamonds platform, while also providing educational expertise to the industry’s leading jewelry brands, designers, and retailers, the NDC strives to empower consumers to understand how precious diamonds really are.

To better grasp the intricacies of the diamond industry, Haute Living received an exclusive look into global ambassador and Emmy-nominated actress Lily James’ trip to the Northwest Territories (NWT) of Canada to uncover the journey of a natural diamond. In fact, this was James’ second trip with the NDC, ultimately showing her personal commitment to better understanding the diamonds she’s seen wearing on red carpets.

To the surprise of many, Canada is the world’s third-largest producer of natural diamonds, contributing 25 percent to the NWT GDP, providing eight billion dollars to indigenous and local communities, and offering a vast, epic landscape of Arctic tundra, boreal forest, and lakes across 521,238 square miles, with abundant opportunities for sustainable practices. The trip was punctuated with visits to diamond destinations like the remote De Beers Canada/Gahcho Kué Diamond Mine, Rio Tinto’s Yellowknife splitting facility, and Diamonds de Canada to explore how they maintain a local supply chain, which benefits their communities from mining to cutting and polishing of natural diamonds. “I was able to witness the true economic impact the natural diamond industry has in these regions,” noted James. “The industry creates a true sense of community while driving massive positive impact on the economy in each region.”

The word “transparency” keeps coming to mind, and whether it’s the transparency in the natural diamond sourcing practices or the one seen in the clarity of a diamond, the two are intrinsically connected. James met with Rio Tinto’s Diavik Diamond Mine’s first female Tele-Remote scoop operator, Melanie Sangris, who has worked in the natural diamond industry for over a decade, as well as with Gaeleen MacPherson, head of people & community at Rio Tinto’s Diavik Diamond Mine. The latter shared how diamond mining provides opportunities for the community; her firsthand approach to making a positive impact on the diamond mining industry has directly benefited 10 million people worldwide, mostly in local communities. “From meeting women at the helm of mining operations to educators shaping the future generation, everywhere I look, I’m reminded that natural diamonds are truly real, rare, and responsible,” shared James.

Cultivating Your Spring Glow Through Skincare

BY DR. MARA WEINSTEIN VELEZ

AS SPRING APPROACHES, NATURE UNDERGOES ITS SEASONAL transformation, inspiring us to reflect on our own beauty reawakening.

Much like nurturing a garden, skincare demands a combination of knowledge, patience, and adaptability to evolving conditions. By thoughtfully selecting ingredients, understanding our skin’s unique needs, and nurturing it with patience, we can step into the spring season with confidence, ready to tend to our skin’s “garden” with the love and attention it deserves.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

Knowing your skin type — whether dry, oily, normal, combination, or sensitive — is crucial for selecting your best skincare ingredients, but where does your skin type come from? The short answer is genetics. Your genes influence everything from sensitivity and oil production to predispositions towards conditions like eczema and rosacea, and even how well your dermis holds onto water.

While you start with some genetic building blocks, your skin ty pe can change over time. It evolves with age, lifestyle, medicatio ns, health conditions, hormones, and environmental exposures such as climate and sun damage. These factors can lead to changes li ke reduced oil production during menopause, resulting in drier skin.

A GARDEN OF GOOD INGREDIENTS

Identifying the right skincare ingredients involves understanding the requirements of our skin type and the properties of ingredients, whether they are for hydration, moisturization, calming inflammation, exfoliation, or oil absorption.

• Emollients and humectants: Emollients moisturize skin, while humectants attract water. Humectant ingredients include hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin. These can be sealed with emollients like natural oils to repair and maintain a healthy skin barrier.

• Ceramides: Ceramides, the lipid molecules in our skin cell membranes, are vital for repairing the natural barrier and shielding against damage, reducing dryness, and irritation.

• Hyaluronic acid: This is a polysaccharide that occurs naturally in our skin. It helps our skin to hold onto water, plumping up the skin cells and reducing the visibility of fine lines.

• Squalane: A lightweight hydrocarbon that resembles sebum’s natural squalene, squalane shields against environmental damage and free radicals, hydrates, and helps regulate oil production.

• Retinoids: Retinoids are derivatives of vitamin A that are well-known by skincare enthusiasts for their ability to fade hyperpigmentation, stimulate collagen production, and clear up the most stubborn and widespread acne. By enhancing collagen synthesis and speeding up cell turnover, they exfoliate and even out melanin distribution, resulting in smoother skin and a more uniform tone.

GROWING BETTER TOGETHER

If you are a gardener, you are likely familiar with companion planting. This technique allows different plants to enhance growth, yield, and pest control mutually. Similarly, specific actives can make great companions in your skincare routine. Let’s take a look at some companions to help your skincare routine blossom:

• Vitamin C, E, and ferulic acid: These antioxidants synergize to protect against free radicals and brighten skin. Ferulic acid stabilizes vitamins C and E, enhancing their effects.

• Retinol and hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid hydrates, mitigating the dryness often associated with retinol use.

• Niacinamide and zinc: Niacinamide reduces inflammation, while zinc regulates oil production and soothes irritation.

• Peptides and ceramides: Ceramides reinforce the skin barrier, locking in moisture, as peptides boost collagen production.

• Broad-spectrum SPF goes with everything. No matter what actives you are using, a UVA/UVB sunscreen is crucial for maintaining a happy, healthy barrier and preventing sun damage. Remember that some actives, like retinol, make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

CREATING A HARMONIOUS SKIN ECOSYSTEM: SAFELY SELECTING YOUR BEST TREATMENTS

Just like how some plants thrive in the sun and others in the shade, some actives do their best work during the day or at night. Antioxidants like vitamins C and E, along with barrier enhancers such as ceramides, squalene, and hyaluronic acid, are great in your morning routine. Nighttime is better suited for regenerative products like retinoids, which enhance the skin’s overnight healing but can increase sun sensitivity. Consider the concentration of active ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, niacinamide, and glycolic acid in skincare products. Lower concentrations are less potent, but even a small amount of a powerful

ingredient can cause irritation, demonstrating that all skin types can react differently to various strengths.

The next step is to do a patch test. When you are trying a new product or picking up one you haven’t used in a while, especially if you’ve experienced a significant change in your health or lifestyle, like pregnancy or menopause, do a patch test. Apply a small amount of product to your inner elbow or wrist and monitor the area for 24 to 48 hours. The absence of redness, itching, burning, hives, inflammation, or discoloration indicates compatibility.

Finally, remember to go slow. Introduce new products, ingredients, and concentrations one at a time. In the same way that a well-tended garden doesn’t sprout overnight, a radiant complexion is cultivated with dedication and care over time. You want to be the tortoise, not the hare.

DERMATOLOGISTS: THE MASTER GARDENERS

While home skincare addresses many concerns, certain situations necessitate professional treatments for better outcomes. If you are seeking more dramatic improvements than what you’ve achieved at home, it’s time to consider professional treatments. A dermatologist can offer guidance on the most appropriate procedures for your skin type and concerns, like severe acne, deep wrinkles, stubborn or widespread hyperpigmentation, scarring, or conditions like rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis.

For personalized insights into your skincare needs, consider scheduling a consultation with Dr. Mara Weinstein Velez. Prepare for spring by prioritizing your skin health today.

THE BEST OF WATCHES AND WONDERS 2024

In April, the biggest watch event in the industry returned to Geneva, bringing all the prestigious Maisons under one roof to debut this year’s novelties. Discover the Haute Time guide to some of the most noteworthy timepieces shown at Watches and Wonders 2024.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

TAG HEUER

Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph

TAG Heuer’s standout watch for the year is undoubtedly the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph, a watch with no creative confinement that was two years in the making, and which comes in right under $140,000. The Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph features hand-made finishes, including a checkerboard pattern on the center bridge and a TAG Heuer shieldshaped oscillating weight.

ROLEX

Perpetual 1908

On the heels of the Perpetual 1908 launch at last year’s Watches and Wonders, Rolex has presented a new version in 950 platinum with an ice-blue guilloché dial. As its name suggests, the Perpetual 1908 draws inspiration from one of the earliest Rolex models, equipped with the Perpetual rotor and named after the year Rolex was registered in Switzerland in 1908.

CHANEL

Monsieur Superleggera Intense Black Edition

A sportier feel within the Chanel timepiece repertoire, the Monsieur Superleggera Intense Black Edition takes inspiration from automobile racing with technical finesse, featuring a matte black ceramic and stainless-steel case, a guilloche-type dial, and a Caliber 1 movement with a jump hour and retrograde minute display.

CARTIER

Privé Tortue

Perhaps the most talked about timepiece of Watches and Wonders as one of Cartier’s oldest revivals with the original Tortue dating back to 1912, the 2024 Cartier Privé Tortue was unveiled by the brand in yellow gold with a silver opaline dial and black numerals.

BULGARI

Octo Finissimo Ultra

Bulgari broke a new world record as the Octo Finissimo Ultra once again shattered the confines of high-end mechanical watchmaking by setting a new standard for slimness at just 1.70 millimeters thick.

A. LANGE & SÖHNE

Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon in Honeygold “Lumen”

This year, A. Lange & Söhne is celebrating the 25th year of the Datograph in a big way by presenting two new Datograph models: the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon in Honeygold “Lumen” and the Datograph Up/Down. A standout for us, the former is a first for the luxury watchmaker, combining its revered complications in Langeexclusive “honey gold” and presenting them in a “Lumen” version that glows in the dark.

ULYSSE NARDIN

Freak S Nomad

Ulysse Nardin continued its Freak evolution — proving this model remains the focal point for the brand — with the debut of the Freak S Nomad in a dune colorway limited to just 99 pieces.

PATEK PHILIPPE

Ref. 5980/60G – Nautilus

Quite unexpectedly, Patek Philippe introduced the Nautilus (Ref. 5980/60G) in a denim-like material. This Nautilus self-winding flyback chronograph features a white gold casing with an opaline blue-gray dial, complemented by a denim-patterned blue-gray calfskin strap and an alternative bluegray composite material strap, both showcasing a sleek mix of polished and satin finishes. Its innovative design includes a legible monocounter at six o’clock for chronograph indications, with a central seconds hand that also functions as a running seconds display.

JAEGER-LECOULTRE Duometre Chronograph Moon

Immediately stealing the show, the Duometre Chronograph Moon, powered by the newly developed Calibre 391, debuted in two striking variations: a resplendent platinum case paired with a copper-colored dial, and a warm pink gold case complemented by a silver dial, each adorned with a meticulously handstitched alligator strap.

VACHERON CONSTANTIN

Traditionnelle Tourbillon

Chronograph

Vacheron Constantin introduced the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph to the Collection Excellence Platine — dubbing itself “The Collectors’ piece.” This 50-piece limited edition represents a confluence of tradition and innovation, set within the realm of the exclusive collection. Every component, from the 42.5 mm diameter case to the strap’s stitching, revels in the lustrous splendor of 950 platinum, affirming its status of collector’s treasure.

GRAND SEIKO

SLGW002 & 003

During the 1960s and ’70s, Grand Seiko produced manually-wound, 10-beat timepieces aimed at achieving superior accuracy and rate stability. This year marks a significant milestone as Grand Seiko introduces its first hand-wound, high-beat movement in over half a century: the Caliber 9SA4. It adds to the mechanical Caliber 9S series that began in 2020 with the automatic Caliber 9SA5, which was expanded last year with the introduction of the Tentagraph Caliber 9SC5 chronograph. Caliber 9SA4 makes its debut in a new dress watch belonging to the Evolution 9 Collection (SLGW002 & 003).

HERMÈS

Arceau Duc Attelé

Limited to just 24 pieces, the new Hermès Arceau Duc Attelé timepiece blends Hermès’ signature equestrian style with haute horology to create a triple-axis tourbillon and minute repeater.

GUIDE TO NAVIGATING THE CITY OF LIGHTS DURING THE 2024 SUMMER OLYMPICS.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

THE 2024 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES ARE FINALLY UPON US, AND DARE WE SAY IT, BUT THESE MIGHT BE THE MOST exciting yet. In addition to being this year’s host city — a century after hosting for the first time — the City of Lights will transform many iconic local landmarks into sporting venues from July 26 through August 11. Unbelievably, there will be beach volleyball beneath the Eiffel Tower, archery at Les Invalides, skateboarding at Place de la Concorde, marathon swimming and triathlon near Pont Alexandre III, taekwondo at the Grand Palais, race walking and cycling at Trocadéro, equestrian and modern pentathlon at the Palace of Versailles, and aquatic competitions such as canoeing on the Seine (which is where, incidentally, the Opening Ceremony will take place — an iconic moment in itself in that it is the first time in Olympic history where said ceremony will be held outside of a stadium). With nearly 10 million visitors — inclusive of the 10,000 athletes competing in 32 sports — Paris is projected to be packed, which is why you should have started planning yesterday. Or, you know, four years ago. Regardless, it’s a good time to check out our haute guide, which should help you streamline where to stay, play, wine, and dine as luxuriously as possible in Paris.

HOTELS

Some of the most glamorous hotels in the world are, of course, located in Paris. Who hasn’t dreamed of staying at The Ritz, Hôtel Plaza Athénée, George V, Le Meurice, Le Royal Monceau, Le Bristol, or the Saint James? We’re always going to be shipping these hotels — they’re classics for a reason but in the spirit of this year’s games, which have introduced four entirely new categories with breaking, sport climbing, skateboarding, and surfing, we decided to highlight the hottest new hotel players in the City of Love (yes, it does have multiple monikers). So, dear Olympic enthusiasts, may we now present the new guard!

LE GRAND MAZARIN

Le Grand Mazarin is, fittingly, a hotel as chic as the neighborhood it’s located in: Le Marais. Martin Brudnizki was the perfect designer to create the artistic, elegantly over-the-top atmosphere, which evokes the 17thcentury literary salons of Le Marais, where high society doyennes would host gatherings in their private mansions. On site, there are 61 rooms and suites; a restaurant, Boubalé, which serves up Ashkenazi cuisine courtesy of Michelin-starred Israeli chef Assaf Granit; a secret winter garden; wellness area; and swimming pool, all of which reflect the designer’s sumptuous and intimate vision via antique furniture, vintage objects, seashells embedded in the wallpaper, or custom-designed rugs with baroque details. In the hotel’s lobby, a wedding wardrobe typical of 19th-century Europe sets the tone, which Brudnizki himself discovered in England. 17 Rue de la Verrerie, 75004

MAISON PROUST, HOTEL & SPA LA MER

Maison Proust, a stylish 23-suite hotel in Le Marais, is just the homage to 20th-century literary great Marcel Proust that Paris didn’t know it needed. It is a Belle Epoque wonderland, but because it’s located in a six-story townhouse, Maison Proust doesn’t give traditional hotel vibes. Each room, as designed by Jacques Garcia, is named after a muse or friend of the writer, from Princess Mathilde to actress Sarah Bernhardt, all decorated with patterned silk, embroidered fabrics, and eye-catching art. It would be a mistake not to mention the property’s beautiful glassed-in winter garden, stunning bar with cocktails from Colin Field, who has been named best bartender in the world, a lounge — theatrically highlighted with velvet draped curtains, antique mirrors, and crystal chandeliers — as well as a second lounge that features a domed ceiling with a gold leaf sun, modeled after the Opéra Garnier. There’s also a magnificent library with over 1,000 rare books, and a Moorish-style Spa La Mer with a heated pool, hammam, and sauna. So, in honor of Proust’s famous masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time, we can only say that we welcome the chance to get lost here time and time again. 26 Rue de Picardie, 75003

LA RÉSERVE PARIS

On a scale of fabulousness, La Réserve Paris is a 10. Just a block away from the Champs-Élysées and the Grand Palais, its location can’t get much better. Plus, this stunner, another gem conceived by world-famous designer Jacques Garcia, is housed in a 19th-century building that was once owned by the family of the Duke of Morny, the stepbrother of Emperor Napoleon III. It’s accordingly elegant, with marvelous marble fireplaces and rich fabric wall hangings. It’s discreet, too, in that it houses 15 rooms and 25 suites only. La Réserve Paris is also home to Le Gabriel restaurant, helmed by 3 Michelin-starred chef Jérôme Banctel, as well as a stunning Nescens spa with a 52-foot indoor pool. 42 Av. Gabriel, 75008

CHEVAL BLANC PARIS

Anything LVMH touches is basically gold, and that’s certainly the case at Cheval Blanc Paris, the luxury group’s stunning urban Maison in the heart of the City of Lights. As imagined by architects Édouard François and Peter Marino, the hotel is an art deco daydream, with a focus on food and relaxation (and who doesn’t love that?). The property, which overlooks the Seine, is home to chef Arnaud Donckele’s 3 Michelin-starred restaurant Plénitude, Parisian brasserie Le Tout-Paris, Italian eatery Langosteria, the new Japanesefocused Hakuba, and rooftop sky garden, Le Jardin. It also hosts the exquisite and exclusive Dior Spa Cheval Blanc Paris, which offers a holistic immersion into the world of Maison Dior, as well as a stunning curved swimming pool adorned with mosaics for a true sensory escape. 8 Quai du Louvre, 75001

BULGARI HOTEL PARIS

Located on the Avenue George V, in the “Golden Triangle” between the Seine and the Champs-Élysées, the Bulgari Hotel Paris fully brings the bling to the City of Light — but make it Italian. The interiors of the hotel, entirely designed by the Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel Italian architectural studio, are quietly luxurious, as one has come to expect of the Bulgari brand. Like its sister properties, the hotel is dotted with exquisite Italian-made marble, silk wallcoverings, granite, tapestries, and varnished eucalyptus woodwork. Similarly, fans of the brand will find continuity in its signature eatery, Il Ristorante - Niko Romito, a Workshop Gymnasium, Bulgari Bar, and 82-foot, semi-Olympic swimming pool. The highlight here, however, is its Bulgari penthouse. The Eiffel Tower, Sacré Cœur, and Grand Palais all seem to be within touching distance of this 4,300-squarefoot palace, which features sparkling glass and gold chandeliers, two kitchens entirely clad in Arbescato marble, a hammam, pantry, private studio with its own cigar cellar, fitness room, and — best of all — a private 6,450-square-foot outdoor terrace with 360-degree views of the city. 30 Av. George V, 75008

CHÂTEAU VOLTAIRE

Paris is one of the world’s most fashionable cities, and Château Voltaire plays to its sartorial strengths in that the 31-room-and-one-suite property in the 9th arrondissement was conceived by owner Thierry Gillier, the founder of fashion label Zadig & Voltaire. The hotel is comprised of buildings from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, a short jaunt away from Parisian landmarks like the Tuileries Gardens, Opéra Garnier, The Louvre, and the glamorous Galeries Lafayette shopping center (where, of course, Zadig & Voltaire is carried). There’s a mixed esthetic here: it is both opulent and old-world thanks to Louis XIII-style armchairs, fringed velvet furnishings, liberal trompe-l’oeil, and heavy tapestries, but it’s also airy and contemporary with details like seashell light fixtures and a soft color palette throughout the rooms. It’s food and beverage — the beautiful L’Emil brasserie, with wooden banquettes, marble tabletops, and stained glass — and sultry La Coquille d’Or bar are already Parisian hot spots. 55 Rue Saint-Roch, 75001

HÔTEL MADAME RÊVE

To sleep, perchance to dream. You’ll be doing both at Hôtel Madame Rêve (rêve meaning, in French, “to dream”) near Les Halles in Paris’ former only 24-hour post office, a Haussmanian building dating back to the late 19th century. There’s certainly a chic, sexy vibe here that makes this feel especially saucy at night, and that vibe extends from the rooms to the two restaurants — especially at the hotel’s signature eatery, La Plume, a dark and sensual French Japanese hybrid with moody lighting (though its Kitchen by Stéphanie Le Quellec exudes a carnal atmosphere, too). Its rooftop, the aptly named “ROOF,” is truly the pièce de résistance of the hotel. This is a 10,000-square-foot oasis, overlooking Notre-Dame, the Panthéon, and Beaubourg, among other landmarks, that affords a 180-degree view of the City of Lights. It can’t be missed. 48 Rue du Louvre, 75001

LA FANTAISIE

We love a good Martin Brudnizki design, and, as his first entry into the Parisian hotel scene, La Fantaisie does not disappoint. The whimsical designer has created fantastical designs for his inaugural property, nestled in the bustling Faubourg-Montmartre neighborhood in the heart of the ninth arrondissement. The hotel’s concept and raison d’être, its heroes, are 16th-century gardener brothers Jacques and Jean Cadet. Brudnizki has made sure that the late green-thumbed siblings are prominent throughout the hotel, from the palette of greens, warm yellows, and coral touches he uses throughout the rooms to the ceilings covered with floral wallpaper. This fantastical hotel also uniquely marks the homecoming of 3 Michelin-starred French chef Dominique Crenn, the owner of San Francisco’s L’Atelier Crenn, who, here, with her zero-waste restaurant, Golden Poppy, showcases a menu wholly centered around local and sustainable fare. 24 Rue Cadet, 75009

CHÂTEAU DES FLEURS

There are flowers covering the windows at Château des Fleurs, located within a 1910 building in the 8th arrondissement, but the “fleurs” in its name actually refer to a former famous place for 19th century, Belle Epoquestyle dance parties. What we do see is red. There are touches of the hue everywhere, not oppressively nor subtly, but the shade does set the tone for the stay to come at this 37-key hotel at the top of the Champs-Elysées. Given that there is a boudoir room on site, well, you get the drift. That said, we are absolutely obsessed by every crimson touch on site, be it via the Korean eatery, Restaurant by OMA, or its lovely Omnisens spa. 19 Rue Vernet, 75008

HAUTE CUISINE

This year’s Michelin Guide named 121 Parisian restaurants as worthy of a Michelin star, which isn’t super surprising given that, well, haute cuisine originated here. Here are a few of our favorites.

Pierre Gagnaire’s eponymous eatery will be one of the most exquisite meals you’re likely to eat in this lifetime. Le Gabriel at La Réserve, just a block from the Champs-Élysées, is Jérôme Banctel’s opulent eatery, set in a 19th century Napoleon III-style mansion with Versailles parquet flooring. There is Épicure, Arnaud Faye’s Louis XVI-furnished restaurant at Le Bristol; Plénitude, helmed by Arnaud Donckele at Cheval Blanc Paris; L’Ambroisie, Bernard Pacaud’s simply perfect eatery in a Place de Vosges townhouse; and Kei Kobayashi’s eponymous Japanese restaurant by the Louvre. Architect Pierre-Yves Rochon created the magical ambiance of Le Pré Catelan, helmed by chef Frédéric Anton on the famous Bois de Boulogne; Yannick Alléno continues to impress at his restaurant on the first floor of the superb, néo-classical mansion Pavillon Ledoyen; and the pairing of chef Christian Le Squer and award-winning sommelier Éric Beaumard at Le Cinq, located at Four Seasons Hotel George V, is one for the books. Hélène Darroze, the master chef who inspired Colette in the animated film Ratatouille, inspires excellence at Marsan par Hélène Darroze on Rue d’Assas, while LVMH darling Jean Imbert impresses at Hôtel Plaza Athénée. The most decorated chef in the world, Alain Ducasse, does the same at Le Meurice, among his seven other eateries. And last, but certainly not least, we always stand by our favorite: Jean-Georges Vongerichten, whose Christian Liaigre-designed restaurant Market on avenue Matignon near the ChampsÉlysées, serves up eclectic, Asian-French cuisine.

BEST BRASSERIES

You’re basically spoiled for choice when it comes to iconic Parisian bars. Our top spot is Little Red Door, which earned the sixth spot on the 2023 World’s 50 Best Bars list. It is, of course, defined by its — you guessed it — little red door, a nod to speakeasies found during the Prohibition era in the States. Each cocktail at this cozy, comfortable brasserie receives a two-page menu illustration by a local artist, with only the drink’s name listed. But do trust them to work their magic. Then, head to Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis for the sip-worthy stylings of Le Syndicat, the epitome of French bars. This den of cool prides itself on its patriotism, highlighting everything from French ingredients to French tunes, even recently creating a menu of cocktails based on the most well-known Parisian monuments. We also love the gorgeous art deco-inspired daydream that is Bar Nouveau in Le Marais, the Brooklyn vibes of Danico in Saint-Germain, and Bar Hemingway, a classic homage to former patron Ernest Hemingway, at The Ritz.

A GOURMET EXPERIENCE EN ROUTE

If you must fly commercial, make sure to do so with Air France in a bid to embrace the Gallic spirit. We’re not putting our praise behind the airline simply because it’s the top carrier in France, but because aforementioned Michelin star chef Dominique Crenn — the only 3 Michelin star female chef in America— has now developed an exquisite menu for first and business class travelers. Crenn has created 12 original dishes for the airline, which will offer two signatures every month in both cabins, such as lobster, pico de gallo, and tea sauce and root vegetable mille-feuille with truffle sauce.

BEST OF THE REST

You’re in Paris! Explore! Be aware that, during the Olympics in particular, spots like the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre will be absolutely overrun with tourists, but that it’s still possible to wander without purpose and get lost in the cobblestoned streets of the city, to find a lovely neighborhood bistro (with available seats) in one of the 20 arrondissements, in order to find your own personal slice of the city, whatever that may look like. That being said, we do recommend visiting the Louvre to check out its new exhibit on the creation of the Olympic Games, which launched in April and runs through September. And on that note, we’re not sure if we should say “santé”… or “bonne chance!”

2024 Ferrari SF90 Spider

Introducing Ferrari’s super-quick drop top.

BY TIM LAPPEN

THE 2024 FERRARI SF90 IS THE QUICKEST-ACCELERATING ROAD-GOING Ferrari ever produced. Let that sink in for a moment. It is Ferrari’s first fullproduction hybrid plug-in ever. Ferraris are known for performance, of course, and some are known for really prodigious… pricing. The 2002 V12 Ferrari Enzo, for example, had a list price of about $660,000 (good luck finding a clean one today for under $3.5 million). The successor to the Enzo, the 2013 LaFerrari, had a list price of about $1.5 million. The SF90 list price is “only” about $575,000, and unlike the aforementioned models, there is not a limited run of a few hundred vehicles. Yet it is quicker than its stablemates and predecessors costing multiples of that amount. In fact, the SF90 XX Stradale, the track-only sibling of our featured car, bested the amazing LaFerrari’s performance on the Ferrari test track by over 2.4 seconds, a huge jump in the racing world.

A brief sidenote about the naming of this car. If you are detail-oriented when it comes to cars — as I am — you may have noticed that many Ferraris have a yellow shield embedded on the top side of the front fenders with a very stylized “SF” written in expansive cursive below an elegant

rearing horse profile. Did you, as I did, ever wonder what it stood for?

In the 1980s, it may have meant that the owner spent several thousand dollars to have a shield added to the car, but as to what the actual meaning was, it is quite simple: “Scuderia Ferrari,” which translates from Italian to “Stable Ferrari,” is the company’s racing division. Its name was chosen to honor the company’s performance-oriented focus and their use of the stallion as their logo. Not surprisingly, the SF90 honors the Scuderia Ferrari’s 90th year of creating some of the most desirable cars on the planet.

The shape of this terrific machine is a departure from the Ferraris of yore, with a sculptural yet edgy sloping hood and short rear overhang. But under the hood is… space for luggage. In the SF90s (Stradale hardtop and Spider convertible) are mid-rear-engine cars — the engine is behind the driver and in front of the rear wheels, which allows for terrific handling and balance. The car is motivated by a combination of an amazingly powerful V8 and some electric wizardry.

Contrary to its well-known historic love of prodigious V12 power, Ferrari has utilized V8 motors for many decades (Tom Selleck famously drove one in Magnum, P.I.). Today’s eight-pot version has little in common with those earlier engines. With a twin-turbo boosting the performance, the gas engine alone pumps out some 769 horsepower. However, when one adds the additional 217 HP of the three (yes, three!) electric motors, the total propulsion zooms to 986 HP. Ferrari claims a 0 to 60 MPH dash is ripped out at 2.5 seconds, but it felt a lot faster to me. Honestly, whether a car can do that blast in three or even two seconds is not particularly important to most of us, but it sure does add to the thrill of those who get to experience it. And of course, it does add to the bragging rights at cars and coffee events everywhere.

Handling? I am glad that you asked. Two of the electric motors are dedicated to what Ferrari calls the “Cornering Angle Regulator, Electric” (or “RAC-e”, in Ferrari-speak). A simple example of how that works: when going through a corner, the inside tire has a shorter distance to go than the outside tire, so having the ability for a motor to speed up one wheel and/or slow down the other makes the car much nimbler. It’s a noticeable improvement over the “steer-and-hope” mode of the past, which allows for amazing cornering ability. In the canyons, the SF90 felt like it was on rails.

The interior of Maranello’s latest also does not disappoint: fine Italian leather abounds, most of which is tooled into beautiful designs. “My” SF90 Spider was very well appointed, thank you, so the “Blu Eletrico” exterior was nicely set-off by the “Nero 8500” black interior (the press photos here show a special luminous metallic golden color, “Giallo Montecarlo”). The underside of the retractable roof was leather-clad, and there were colored leather inserts in several places. The carbon fiber accoutrements (dashboard inserts, upper tunnel trim, driver-zone LEDs, and more) were gorgeous. Those additions and others helped explain why the total price of the one I tested was $659,000 and change.

Try as I might, I had to give it back way too soon. I loved my time with the SF90 Spider, especially as I only had a few hours with its hardtop Stradale sibling, but like all good entertainers, it left me wanting more — much more.

Shaping the Future of Hospitality

Haute Living sits down with Christopher Lindsey, the co-founder and head of product marketing at Peoplevine, the digital platform transforming the hospitality industry.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

HAUTE LIVING: Can you walk us through how you started in the business? How did the idea of Peoplevine come about?

CHRISTOPHER LINDSEY: The story of Peoplevine began with a passion for creating exceptional experiences. Our team comes from diverse backgrounds, blending technology expertise with a love for culture, entertainment, and, most importantly, hospitality. We saw a gap in the hospitality industry — a lack of technology that kept pace with the evolving needs of modern members and businesses. In 2014, we launched our platform with Live Nation, building our events and ticketing engine. This experience fueled our vision for a comprehensive experience-based CRM solution. By 2016, we expanded to serve the growing coworking industry, which ultimately led us to focus on membership-based clubs. We believe the members club concept deserves a modern upgrade, and that’s where Peoplevine comes in.

HL: What role does Peoplevine play in building some of the most exclusive (and notable) membership clubs around the globe?

CL: Peoplevine acts as the invisible backbone for these prestigious clubs. We provide a two-sided platform that empowers both the guest and member experience and the staff operations. Our software offers a best-in-class user experience for members, allowing them to seamlessly book amenities, chat with staff, and access exclusive content. But it doesn’t stop there: we equip staff with the tools they need to personalize service, manage operations efficiently, and gain valuable insights into member preferences. This data allows clubs to tailor experiences and build lasting relationships with their members. That’s the true hallmark of exclusivity.

HL: A lot of people think about the brick-and-mortar spaces when it comes to membership clubs. How have you integrated the app and the process behind these membership clubs?

CL: The in-person experience is irreplaceable. It’s the core of what membership clubs offer. Peoplevine enhances that experience, it doesn’t replace it. Our app acts as a digital companion, allowing members to connect with the club before, during, and after their visit. Imagine seamlessly booking a class or dining reservation, sharing guest passes with your friends, and paying for all your transactions with a card on file — that’s the power of the

app. However, the human touch remains paramount. The app empowers staff to greet members by name, streamline orders, and anticipate their needs. This creates a sense of belonging and fosters a welcoming environment, ultimately strengthening the club’s community.

HL: What have you found to be the most successful about the CRM?

CL: For Peoplevine to be a truly valuable CRM, it needs to connect with all aspects of the member experience. Our member app and integrations act as data collection points, providing insights into member behavior and preferences. This data empowers hospitality businesses to refine their service offerings, amenities, and overall experience. Furthermore, the pandemic accelerated the trend towards a “customer-centric” business model. Businesses are increasingly recognizing the value of building closer relationships with their customers and understanding their needs. Peoplevine’s CRM empowers businesses to do just that, fostering loyalty and driving recurring revenue.

HL: Peoplevine believes that “Membership is the future of hospitality.”

How have you seen this through your client integration?

CL: When we started, our focus was on private clubs. Over the years, we’ve witnessed the “membership model” expand into other hospitality sectors, including spas, wellness centers, hotels, branded residences, and restaurant groups. These businesses are learning from each other, blurring the lines between traditional verticals. Your home might start to feel more like a hotel, your restaurant more like a private club, and so on.

HL: What are your goals for the next five years with Peoplevine?

CL: Over the next five years, we plan to aggressively expand our platform offerings and industry relationships. As we encounter new hospitality verticals, we’ll tackle the challenges of integrating them seamlessly. This will involve developing new workflows and functionalities that push our team to innovate. There are still many types of properties we don’t currently serve. Our goal is to become the go-to membership management solution for the entire hospitality industry. We believe technology can be a powerful tool to elevate human connection and create truly exceptional experiences. By achieving our goals, we hope to play a significant role in shaping the future of hospitality.
