STREET STYLE Dior Homme partnered with street artist Dan Witz to create unique hyper-realistic “mosh pit” paintings that cover Dior Homme’s fall/winter collection. Fashion has always found inspiration in other art forms. The movement of dancers’ bodies for new silhouettes, splashes of colors found in Old Masters oil paintings made into fresh prints and musicians with their own unique sense of style twisting and turning runways into something new―these types of creative endeavors have always kept fashion inspired and pushed to the creative limits. Dior has been at the forefront of these types of collaborations, always looking at other artistic pursuits to turn fashion on its head. The Dior Homme FW17 collection is no different with creative director Kris Van Assche partnering with artist Dan Witz for a collection of suits, jackets, trousers, coats, caps and accessories including a backpack, shopper bag and sneakers, printed with Witz’s iconic imagery. Van Assstreet art. I first discovered his work a few years ago when I fell upon a series of his earlier street-art works. I also loved his hyper-realistic interpretation of the mosh pits presented in the exhibition ‘New York Hardcore.’ The raw energy of punk rock chaos which prevails in these paintings clearly echoed the idea of subcultural gatherings and rave parties, which were such a fundamental inspiration in the collection.” An alumnus of both the Cooper Union and lower Manhattan’s art-punk and street art scenes, Witz has spent much of his time photographing and painting hardcore shows in New York’s gritty music scene. The raw energy from Witz’s “mosh pit” series reminded Van Assche of his own connection with the underground music scene that inspired the collection. Combining Dior’s modern design with Witz’s visceral

now add creative collaborator to her growing resumé by joining forces with fine-jewelry designer Ippolita for the fall 2017 campaign. Praising the model’s “youthful sophistication, fun and original style,” Kendall is the perfect partner to Ippolita’s design philosophy to create jewelry that is “cool enough to covet, classic enough to keep.” The launch of the campaign also marks the release of Ippolita’s new Cherish collection, inspired by the brand’s signature Cherish link. The collection was created by designer Ippolita Rostagno’s unique body imprinting, a technique where gold is shaped into imprints of the body to create wearable sculpture. The new Cherish collection takes Rostagno back to her roots in sculpture, shape and the simplicity of beautiful materials. “I wanted to build a collection based on my most recognizable shapes, showcasing my signature hues of 18K gold and silver,” she says. “I wanted to breathe new life into my favorite pieces by shining a [super-bright!] light on them.” The Cherish collection truly speaks to the core of PHOTOS COURTESY OF RESPECTVE BRANDS

the Ippolita brand. “In a way, it has all the qualities of long-lasting jewelry: It’s elegant, sexy and easy to layer,” she notes. And with supermodel Jenner as a part of the equation, it only amps up the coolness and sex appeal. “An icon calls for another icon, and since my fall collection is based on Cherish―my most recognizable signature shape―I thought it would be a perfect marriage,” shares Rostagno. “Also, I admire Kendall for her point of view as it relates to personal expression―she always looks cool and has an enviable ease about her.” As featured in Kendall’s campaign, limited-edition ring sets are now available, beginning at $95 for a silver set of two or $125 for a silver set of three on www.

BALLY’S NEW BEATZ The iconic brand joins forces with Grammy Awardwinning music producer, Swizz Beatz, on a collection of accessories and ready to wear, designed by Spanish artist Ricardo Cavolo. What do you get when you mix an award-winning music producer, an eclectic, modern artist and a heritage brand? Sprinkle in a little social-media magic and it equals Bally’s newest collaboration with Grammy Award-winning music producer and global entrepreneur Swizz Beatz on a collection of accessories and ready to wear, featuring works by Spanish artist Ricardo Cavolo. “Bally is an iconic brand that represented the music culture very early, and the quality, in my opinion, has always been No. 1”, says Swizz Beatz. The collaboration came about organically and is a testament to the power

there. When discussions about a design collab started progressing, Swizz knew he wanted to bring in Spanish artist Ricardo Cavolo, whom Swizz had worked with when he curated the “No Commission” series that included works from Cavolo. Talking about the inspiration behind his prints for Bally, Cavolo explains he and Swizz were working toward creating the feeling of “total freedom” in the pursuit of “creation with no borders.” His prints represent his interpreta-

VOLEZ, VOGUEZ, VOYAGEZ Louis Vuitton Brings their highly anticipated vintage exhibit state side. Louis Vuitton has built an empire of luxury on a history of the finest craftsmanship and highest-quality design and materials. And with a brand that has traveled this many years, it’s only right that it celebrates one of its most famous pieces, the Louis Vuitton luggage. Previously in Paris at the Grand Palais and Tokyo, Louis Vuitton presents “Volez, Voguez, Voyagez – Louis Vuitton” now at the former American Stock Exchange Building in New York City. Curated by Olivier Saillard, previously the director of the Palais Galliera and one of the fashion industry’s most wellrespected curators, the exhibition traces the travel adventure of the House of Louis Vuitton from 1854 to the present day. Designed by opera director Robert Carsen, the exhibit is divided into 10 chapters, one of which is entirely devoted to the U.S. and New York City. With a focus on vignettes the tour takes you back to luxurious and languorous travel of the past to today’s sophisticated and efficient travel all with Louis Vuitton’s iconic truck and modern luggage. The exhibition features objects and documents from the Louis Vuitton heritage archives, as well as select articles on loan from the Palais Galliera, Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris and the Philharmonie de Paris. The exhibition concludes with a display devoted to the savoir faire of the artisans in the Louis Vuitton workshops. The exhibit will be open to the public beginning at the end of October and running into the beginning of 2018.

THE MARK II SLAB SIDE A reimagined 289 Cobra

CLEAN LOOK The svelte tail and the minimalist nerf bars are carryovers from the 1960s.

A lifelong petrolholic, mechanic and automotive journalist since penning a column for his high school newspaper, internationally recognized attorney Tim Lappen is a partner at a major L.A.-based law firm, where he chairs the firm’s Family and Luxury Home Groups and is, of course, a member of its Motor Vehicle Group. He can be reached at tlappen@gmail.com.

SUPERFORMANCE IS SO FOCUSED ON SPEED, THEY DON’T EVEN BOTHER SAYING ‘SUPER PERFORMANCE’. BUT they’ve put that saved time to good use, creating today’s versions of some of the most iconic American speed machines from the 1960s. Their list of reproductions would be the dream garage inventory of most gearheads. As faithful replicas, they provide much of the same look, feel and sound of the originals. They’re not so-called ‘kit cars’—they are completely manufactured, painted, upholstered and assembled in South Africa (the factory employs approximately 500 people) and shipped to the United States needing only an engine and transmission. Buyers choose the car, the exterior and interior colors at one of the dealerships and decide which engine and transmission to install once the car arrives in the country. The Mark II Slab Side looks very much like the initial Cobras, the 289s. Those started out as English sports cars, made by AC Cars before Carroll Shelby decided to buy several AC Ace two-seater sports cars and install Ford V8 engines in them. The Superformance version utilizes the same type of tube chassis and transverse rear leaf spring suspension from the past, providing an “authentic driving experience”. It’s produced under an exclusive agreement between Superformance and Carroll Shelby.

THE CORVETTE GRAND SPORT Chevy plans for Le Mans

LET’S FACE IT: CORVETTES REALLY WERE THE CARS OF OUR YOUTH. WHETHER OR NOT YOU WERE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT SPORTS (or “foreign”) cars, it was likely your fantasy ride. Today, Superformance has recreated the biggest fantasy Corvette of all. See, even before the Cobras, these guys were trying to win the 24-hour race at Le Mans, building special Corvettes around 1962 just for that race. Unfortunately, the company cancelled the program after creating only five of them. A few made it in to private hands, however, and were raced successfully. The new Superformance interpretation has all of the pizzazz of the originals, with the sleek front end and side exhausts. It also offers five different engine choices sourced from GM Performance Parts, so they carry two-year 50,000-mile warranties through Chevrolet.

Detroit. This car is somewhat ‘reimagined’—using different, more modern components compared to the originals, like a fiberglass body and a heavy-duty TIGwelded ladder frame. But none of that takes away from its beauty and the feeling of driving a Cobra in the warm California sun!

It’s easy to imagine you’re on the Mulsanne Straight—at least until the next stoplight or you’re politely reminded of the speed limit.

THE GT40 As close to the real thing as it gets TUBULAR PERFORMANCE One might mistakenly dismiss a reproduction car as a poser, but this one has the beans to cash any check that its driver can write!

SURPRISINGLY, THIS TURNED OUT TO BE OUR FAVORITE CAR TO DRIVE. ALTHOUGH IT TAKES A LITTLE GETTING USED TO (SINCE IT’S A VERY faithful reproduction of a race car, you have to remove the steering wheel to get in and sit in a partially-reclined position), this car’s heritage is arguably the most interesting. Ford and Ferrari were once in discussions for the American company to purchase the Italian company, but they broke down at the last minute—and after Ford spent millions of dollars in pre-purchase due diligence. Furious, it decided to enter into international racing, partnering with British builder Lola and achieving wonderful success: they finished first, second and third in their first Le Mans 24-hour race in 1964 with their three GTs, thereby ending Ferrari’s long domination of the field. They say revenge is a dish best served cold and this was cool, indeed. The Superformance GT40 is now available in a small or big block engine and, lucky for us, we got to drive the latter. Its limited visibility out the back isn’t even a problem since no one will be passing you when you’re in this car. In addition to loving the looks (our tester was liveried in historic Gulf colors, with baby blue paint and orange highlights), driving it proved to be a true visceral delight. What a wonderful experience to drive the entire spectrum of Superformance vehicles! We smiled for days afterwards, having gone back in time to experience the (unattainable) cars of our youth. For us, they are great analog machines in a digital world. With some of the originals now selling in the millions, owners can pause before taking theirs out for a drive. For a lot less money, you can own one that looks, sounds and drives a lot like the first

versions and still have money left over for dinner.

THE DAYTONA COUPE Shelby cars are performing so well in races, it was only natural that they would create a grand touring car that looked something like a hardtop Cobra with a fastback rear and an enormous back window. That car became the only one American-made to win the World Sportscar Championship. Driving the Superformance version, with electric blue and white areas on which black racing numbers were painted, we felt track-ready. The outside exhausts (which, despite having some type of mufflers, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quiet the car much) also added greatly to our aural pleasure.

es part of the movement as a whole. Since Hublot developed the movement from scratch and in-house, it could incorporate some unique features. The column wheel is placed on the front of the movement, visible through the half-transparent dial that most Big Bangs have. The pallet fork and escapement wheel are made from silicon and affixed to a platform that can easily be removed when the watch is in for service. But it is not only the watchmaker who will reap the benefits from the movement. Thanks to bi-directional winding, the Unico is a very efficient movement and offers a power reserve of 72 hours. The chronograph itself is a flyback: This means that you can have an instant restart of all the counters, instead of losing time by having to stop, reset and start the chronograph again. This is, in particular, handy when you measure lap times for races or other sporting events. Sometimes, user friendliness can be found in the details, such as a minute counter that can register 60 minutes instead of the more common 30 minutes. This makes it much easier for the owner to read the elapsed time. It is one of the many things that make the Unico stand out from the crowd. When it comes to explaining Hublot’s “Art of Fusion,” there is almost no better example than “Magic Gold.” Hublot is the first and only watch brand that has created the impossible: scratchresistant 18-karat gold.

LuxuryCORNER Haute Watches It has done so by literally applying the “Art of Fusion,” merging pure gold with ceramic. In general, gold watches are made of 18-karat gold. This is because pure, 24-karat gold is simply too soft to make watches out of it. To create 18-karat gold, pure gold is mixed with other metals to form an alloy. Copper and nickel are popular metals to incorporate in the alloy, as they not only make the gold stronger but also change the color to rose and white gold. Hublot has been able to include

ceramic in the alloy, combining the precious look of gold with the scratch-resistant capacity of ceramic, while maintaining the 18-karat purity threshold. Although 18-karat gold can perfectly handle everyday life for decades, owners will notice that it is more prone to scratch and nick than stainless steel. A common way to identify and compare the hardness of a material is the Vickers scale. Here, the true value of what Hublot has accomplished becomes clear. Normal, 18-karat gold is around 400 Vickers, depending on the exact alloy. However, Magic Gold is about 1,000 Vickers, and with that, it is, even more scratch-resistant than steel, which ranks at 600 Vickers. While the exact process for which Hublot is able to combine the best of both worlds is a closely regarded secret, the Hublots crafted from it are just part of the

collection. What’s interesting is that they have a slightly different look than regular yellow gold. It is hard to

NY_MIA_LUX WATCHES_Hublot_10_5.indd 40

10/11/17 5:05 PM

describe, but there is a glow to them that makes you realize that this is something special, something magic. Yet scratch-resistant 18K gold is only part of what Hublot does, as they have also been one of the pioneers of creating sapphire watch cases from sapphire crystal. More recently, it has really shown the progress the brand has made by introducing colored sapphire cases. While this sounds easy, it is in fact far from it. Sapphire is grown as it is a crystal. You cannot simply inject a color of your choosing but need to take a different approach. To create the Big Bang Unico in blue sapphire, Hublot heats the raw material for sapphire, aluminum oxide, to a temperature between 2,000 and 2,050 degrees Celsius, together with chromium. In this delicate process, the sapphire will actually take on a blue color. In a similar process, Hublot also was able to create red sapphire by using iron instead of chromium. The challenges the brand has had to overcome are numerous. First of all, these watches are limited editions of 250 pieces. This means that all 250 pieces need to have the same hue. Also, to craft a case you need to have a substantial sapphire to cut it from. The larger the sapphire has to be, the more difficult it is to make. Add to this the usual challenges to grow sapphire crystals such as bubbles and cracks that can make it unsuitable to craft a case from, so you know that this is an incredible accomplishment by Hublot, as well as a world-first! The fact that Hublot has been able to create colored sapphire watches, and can make 250 of each, is nothing less than a breakthrough. It shows that the Art of Fusion is more than just a marketing slogan, but a solid part of the brandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA.

We love to customize everything from our cars and homes to our clothes. Now, thanks to Studio F.A. Porsche and Dynamiq, you can customize your boat, too. “The launch is the culmination of a long process of design and development to introduce a new kind of superyacht to the market,” says Sergei Dobroserdov, CEO of Dynamiq. The GTT 115 has the latest technology to combine comfortable high-speed cruising over 21 knots with efficient fuel consumption and a long range of more than 3,400 nautical miles. With this being considered, it’s easy to see why it is referred to as “the modern gentlemen’s superyacht.” So, what makes The GTT 115 different from other yachts? Well, let’s start with how it stood out at the Monaco Yacht Show with its round-bilge hull form, podded propulsion, Hull Vane and exclusively developed stabilization system with 4 fins and interceptors. Plus, the hybrid system, with three variable-speed generators, is a tribute to the strong belief in the future of yachting.

t At 35 meters (115 feet) overall, the yacht offers the versatile spaces and feel of a much larger vessel. It maintains its sporty edge while still being suitable enough to have friends and family on to host dinners or ventures on the water. “GTT 115 is finished to the highest quality and looks supercool in her fashionable rhodium gray metallic paint,” says Dobroserdov. With these bespoke finishes, it won’t be hard to find your yacht while the dock is packed, especially when everyone won’t be able to get their hands on it. “We decided to limit production to seven units to make the GTT 115 a true collector’s item,” says Dobroserdov. For anyone who loves cars or any product that is exclusive, this is something you should look into. No matter where you travel in the world, the chances will probably be low that you’ll run into someone with this yacht. The GTT 115 Hybrid is for sale at €13.950.000 (approx. $16,671,645).

Summer 2007 couture collection. Inside, women’s shoes are on the second floor, not far from a VIP salon and terrace where both privacy and wine are free-flowing. If it’s men’s shoes you’re looking for, wander just a block away to Dior’s sister store, Dior Homme. A striking contrast from the brand’s fanciful O.G. Miami shop, this one is sleek, black and white, and made with the modern man in mind. Also in Palm Court, the “cutout” aluminum storefront of Christian D.’s French neighbor, Louis Vuitton, is hard to miss. The architectural brainchild of Japanese designers Jun Aoki and Mirei Uchibe, the outside is just foreplay for what’s inside. A nod to high points in Miami’s history, you’ll find touches of Art Deco mixed with 1950s modernist furnishings. And beautiful shoes aside, the art speaks volumes. While you try on a pair or five, take note of the 36-foot glassand-mirror artwork by Florida’s Teresita Fernandez and scenes of St. Tropez painted by a French artist named André. Of course, no shoe shopping is complete without a peek into Valentino—and lucky for you, it’s right next door. A testament to its Italian roots, there’s Venetian terrazzo everywhere you turn, and with nearly 5,000 square feet of space, the whole store has a definite “palazzo” feel. The genius behind it is real. In the brand’s true avant-garde style, Valentino has purposely created a store in Miami that doesn’t actually feel like a store at all.

five-star dining in an unbeatable atmosphere, with indoor and outdoor seating and hip interior elements. In classic Philippe Starck design, the interior utilizes natural wood elements contrasted by white and tan leather seating, high ceilings and glamorous accents. The most striking element is the Dragon Room, which will be utilized for private dining and events, decked out by custom wallpaper resembling dragon scales lining the walls and the ceiling, creating a dramatic contrast of colors featuring tones of black, white, gray and hints of red. The room is subtly lit, enhancing the glamorous, sexy atmosphere of the dining destination. And most importantly, we can’t forget about the food.

HARON STONE IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH: BOLD, FEARLESS, BRILLIANT, challenging, determined, persistent and of course, sexy, are all traits that can be attributed to the renowned actress. She shot to fame as a universal sex symbol following her breakout role in Basic Instinct in 1992, where she stunned audiences worldwide as her vivacious character Catherine Tramell rocked the societal status quo with a revealing nude scene that secured her role in the prestigious Hollywood circle. Thereafter, Stone was considered one of the sexiest women on the planet—and for good reason. With all of this considered, “weak” or “fragile” are two characterizations that would never hold much correlation with the star. However, as she sat down with Haute Living for an exclusive cover shoot in Los Angeles, this is in fact how she revealed her more vulnerable self.

of the highest moments of Stone’s history with the organization was in 2013 when she was honored with the Nobel Peace Summit Award at the Nobel Peace Summit in Warsaw, Poland, for her unfaltering determination and hard work on curing AIDS—presented by none other than the Dalai Lama. But according to Stone, there is still a long way to go before we can truly find a cure to this disease. The biggest challenge? “Malaise. The belief that somehow it will simply go away if we ignore it or condemn it or shame those with it,” Stone explains. “To pretend that somewhere, somehow, someone wrong caused this bad and supposedly shameful thing—this type of ludicrous behavior over an illness has caused millions of deaths and underfunding. Ignorance and fear is the most daunting challenge.” Her strongest belief is not to fight, but to educate. Education, she feels, is what will bring us to our ultimate goal of finding a cure to this terrible disease. Educating others on the actual statistics of the disease, how it spreads, why people have it, how we can alleviate the symptoms and what we can do to help are all crucial messages to spread worldwide. Stone revels in the progress that the talented team has made, but points out that what she most often experiences are underfunding and overwork, which call for attention. Nevertheless, “we continue to believe in science and the brave scientists and doctors who dedicate themselves to the art of healing,” she says. Looking forward in the next few months, Stone has the opulent St. Moritz’s Soul Charity Gala approaching in Switzerland on December 28th where she will be the guest of honor, which celebrates her philanthropic endeavors with Planet Hope. With coveted tickets running at 1’500 CHF-3.200 CHF and $293K per couple for the experience that includes a luxe 10-day stay at the Kempinski Grand Hotel, the gala is poised to be one of the highest-grossing benefits for Planet Hope. Aside from the success the high-profile event is anticipated to achieve, Stone is also thrilled to be heading to St. Moritz for another reason. What is she most looking forward to? “The snow,” she answers. “I know it sounds simple, but my kids just love the snow and skiing, and it’s so beautiful.” ADDITIONAL PHOTOS COURTESY OF JACOB YAKOB/BLEECKER STREET

This answer is telling of Stone’s character. As someone who’s lived a life surrounded by the glitz and glam of Hollywood and the spotlight that globally renowned fame such as hers draws, she genuinely prides herself on living life just like anyone else. A single mom to three growing boys, Stone shares that she “wakes up running.” One thing she does try to maintain in her daily routine is physical activity, although she doesn’t stay strict to one sort of exercise. At 59 years old and having openly refused going under the knife, Stone has continued to defy ageism naturally and has maintained her enviable physique. Her secret? There’s really not much to it. She laughs as we discuss this. “Oh my God. I barely have time to bathe,” she says. “I use great creams and try to shave my legs when I remember. And I love to exercise and work out, which I think

THE MALNIK FAMILY SHARES THEIR HISTORY WITH THE MAKE-AWISH SOUTH FLORIDA FOUNDATION, AND HOW THEY ARE PREPARING FOR THE UPCOMING ANNUAL MAKE-A-WISH BALL. BY: PAIGE MASTRANDREA PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROMAIN MAURICE

MIAMI’S MOST ANTICIPATED, GLAMOROUS, SEASONAL-

kickoff event is rapidly approaching: the annual Make-A-Wish Ball. Spearheaded by the Malnik family, and most specifically the Ball chairman, Shareef Malnik, the annual fête has continuously delivered sold-out ticket sales and the highest-grossing profits out of any Make-A-Wish event throughout South Florida. The secret to this success? The philanthropic family behind it and the trio of Shareef Malnik, president and CEO Norman Wedderburn and gala host Robert Hill. Shareef recalls when he first became chairman 19 years ago. After attending the ball for many years with Lee Schrager, he developed a fondness for the event but also thought with a twinge of regret that if something was not done, there may be a decline of attendance and eventually the disappearance of the beloved ball due to its monotony. So, he decided to take his concerns up with the bosses—his father, Al Malnik, and Make-A-Wish South Florida president and CEO Nancy Strom. “I was sitting with my dad and Nancy, and I was explaining the changes I thought the ball needed to make,” he recalls. “And they ultimately asked me to become the chairman of the Ball—which was not what I was expecting—but I immediately said yes. Without even thinking.” However, Al’s philanthropic son had a few conditions before fully accepting the position: “I told them I would accept under the condition that I would make a lot of changes—because I knew sometimes it’s hard to see change when you’ve been doing something for nine-10 years one way only.” Always the visionary, Shareef foresaw radical changes that needed to be made to the iconic Miami event, most importantly satisfying the need to extend the Ball’s reach to a younger crowd. “We had to make the Ball relevant for today,” he says. “We have a community of

not accept anything less. For the Malniks and the rest of the organization, the goal is so much bigger. “Our foremost mission is to grant every single wish to every child in our chapter. Period. We don’t want any child to go without a wish, and we’ve never said no—even in the worst economic times, we’ve granted every single wish. So, we of course will continue to do that,” Shareef explains. “We’ve also added 90 more counties into our territory, which is fantastic. So, another short-term goal is to make that merger seamless. But the big, overall mission is to create a community and culture where MakeA-Wish is synonymous with our community; it is integrated in our lives, and we engage people, and the experience that they have with us is to make them enjoy it and want more of it, so that it becomes a lifestyle. And Make-A-Wish really is a lifestyle.” Al Malnik shares the same philosophy as his son, who is successfully carrying on his

denominator in this all is the kids. It’s such an inspiring mission for those who can afford to give. And I think we’ve got a very good formula, and we’re going to continue to expand. Our goal for the future of the Ball is to annually net $5 million. That’s our aspiration right now, and I firmly believe we will succeed,” he states.

year’s Ball will be unforgettable. As we wait in suspense—the Malniks continue to remain tight-lipped on what this year’s theme will entail—it is certain it will live up to and exceed all elements of year’s past. “It’s mystical music box…so just think about dancing, music, colorful and animated song and dance,” Shareef hints. “And of course, Lenny Kravitz is going to rock us!”

THE RISE wenty-one years ago, Drew Rosenhaus graced the cover of the iconic Sports Illustrated magazine—the cover line reading “The Most Hated Man in Pro Football.” At just 22 years old, Rosenhaus managed to become the youngest registered agent in the industry. Everyone took notice. Whether the attention was positive in admiration of the young entrepreneur’s early success or envious criticism for his aggressive tactics, Rosenhaus was making a name for himself in a big way. Obviously, Sports Illustrated wanted to be the first to tell his story—and this would be the first of many spotlight moments in the coming years as he rapidly rose to fame and success.

With a background revolving around a deep-rooted passion for sports,

YOLANDA BERKOWITZ When did your philanthropic work begin? In 1995, when I became a volunteer Guardian ad Litem, advocating for abused kids in court. What are some causes that you feel the closest connection to? My work with United Way, which supports so many in our community and my work with Friends of Miami Animals Foundation, the nonprofit I founded to help homeless pets in Miami-Dade County and our open-admission shelter. How have you worked to help these causes? I personally work with high-risk pets at our shelter and founded a nonprofit to raise funds and awareness of the extraordinary needs in our community; through the GAL Program, I have been able to work directly with kids in foster care and aging out of the foster care system to ensure they have the resources they need to succeed and thrive; and through United Way as a member of the board and executive committee to serve as a steward in helping create a stronger Miami make it a better place for everyone in our community. What is your favorite philanthropic event in Miami? Miami Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Be a Kid Again Gala is one of the most fun and inspired events of the social season. Who are other women of substance that have had great influence over you? Swanee DiMare, whose commitment to philanthropy in our community is far-reaching and extensive, and Sandy Batchelor, whose family foundation works tirelessly and quietly to improve quality of life for people and animals, alike. What is your favorite memory you have from working on one of your philanthropic projects? Having a young woman who Voices For Children worked with receive a full scholarship to Georgetown Law School; the young woman, who for a number of years was forced to work in the sex industry, yet found a way to overcome her difficult and impoverished background to get herself into college and to receive a full scholarship for law school from one of the most prestigious law schools in the country.
