A Culinary Classic THOMAS KELLER HAS A 3 MICHELINSTAR RESTAURANT ON EACH COAST. THIS IS HOW HE KEEPS THINGS FRESH AND RELEVANT — WHILE STILL CREATING A TIMELESS VIBE. BY LAURA SCHREFFLER PHOTOGRAPHY NICK GARCIA GROOMING LESLIE MUNSELL SHOT ON LOCATION AT THE SURF CLUB RESTAURANT, MIAMI
A
s one of the world’s most successful chefs and restaurateurs, Thomas Keller is, as can be expected, big on implementing systems and sticking to routines — even when he’s having fun. Take, for example, his golfing strategy: Any round played before 10 a.m. must, must, must start with his Frank Sinatra soundtrack. [And if you’re wondering, sadly, the answer is no — he does not use his driver as a microphone. Sad face.] “The Big Band era was something that I just loved. I love horns, so some of those riffs and sections on Frank’s songs just make my skin tingle,” the 66-year-old — who happens to be the only American-born chef to hold multiple three-star ratings from the prestigious Michelin Guide — shares during our mid-February Zoom call. In fact, Ol’ Blue Eyes has been a leitmotif throughout much of his life. Frank provided the soundtrack to his youth, keeping Keller company when he was just a kid washing dishes at the Palm Beach Yacht Club, his mother’s West Palm Beach restaurant. And Sinatra also had a hand in his decision to return to Florida 20 years later to open a restaurant of his own, the glamorous gourmet Surf Club Restaurant where Frank was known to frolic in his heyday. Keller takes me back in time to how it all — “all” being his joy of cooking — began: “My mother ran restaurants and worked nights, so after school, my brother Joseph and I would head to her so she could keep an eye on us, and we would help in any way we could. My brother was older, so he had more opportunities with the cooks, and I got to wash dishes, which was fine. It didn’t matter; it kept me busy.” His mom, Betty, eventually hired him as a cook, and he, in turn, brought on one of his best friends, who had even less of a clue on what to do in the kitchen than he did. “We didn’t know how to cook anything other than Hamburger Helper, which is what we ate normally. But my brother, who had some skill in the kitchen and wanted to be a chef from a young age, guided me through the process of learning how to cook the fundamental things that the clientele at the Palm Beach Yacht Club wanted to eat. They would normally eat omelets, something I got good at, hamburgers — which I also got really good at — and grilled flank steak, sautéed au jus. It was my introduction to cooking but also running a kitchen. There were only three of us, and we would order things, inventory things, accept things, prepare things. We were not only responsible for the kitchen, but also for the restaurant; it was part of our daily ritual. We would cross the bridge — we lived right across the way in Palm Beach — and vacuum floors and clean the bathrooms — before starting our daily food prep. And I will say, it sparked in me this interest of being in the kitchen, though not necessarily becoming a professional chef.”

Keller left Florida in 1976 and headed to Newport, Rhode Island, for the summer, but returned to Florida when the temperatures dropped in the Northeast. He loved the idea of being a nomad, going wherever the tide took him. “Cooking was not necessarily a career for me at that point, but it was a way of working in different locations. I realized that, as a cook, I could get a job in any location I wanted to,” he recalls. When he headed back to the Ocean State in 1977, it was still with the intention of being a boy who just wanted to have fun. He still wasn’t sure what his career path would be until midsummer when he shifted from beach, party, repeat on Bannister’s Wharf to working for then-boss, French-born master chef Roland Henin, in the genteel seaside town of Narragansett. His path and purpose then aligned with one very targeted question that Henin asked him: “Why do cooks cook?” “I couldn’t really answer the question,” Keller admits now. “I fumbled with some stupid answer, so he answered for me. He said, ‘We cook to nurture people.’ That moment changed my life because I realized I was a nurturer. I realized, What better way to give to someone than to nourish and nurture them at the same time? So, I decided to become a professional chef, and because the chef I was working for at the time was French, I decided that French food was going to be my métier.” So, in1983, he moved to Paris, where he apprenticed for various Michelin-star restaurants, including Taillevent and Chiberta, returning to the U.S. a year later, much wiser and with a more expansive repertoire. He opened his first restaurant, Rakel, in New York in 1986 before relocating to California; purchased The French Laundry in Yountville in 1994; opened his French bistro, Bouchon, in 1998; Bouchon Bakery in 2003; and Per Se in New York a year later. Since then, Keller has opened an outpost of Bouchon and Bouchon Bakery in Las Vegas and the Middle East, and has added Ad Hoc + Addendum as well as Mexican eatery La Calenda to his culinary roster. One of the most recent to open brings us to the reason for today’s interview: Surfside’s The Surf Club Restaurant. Keller explains that there were several reasons why he would open a restaurant in his former home state, and The Surf Club met all requirements: namely, that it was compelling, dynamic, and historic. He references the now-shuttered TAK Room at Hudson Yards, explaining that said specific project was a generational and historical change on the West Side of New York City, hence the intrigue. There had not been a undertaking built like Hudson Yards since Rockefeller Center in the 1930s, so it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He continues to reflect, adding, “I think about The French Laundry and the way that property — which was built in the 1880s and became a restaurant in 1978 — helped to shape Yountville. [My friend, Fort Partners founder Nadim Ashi] convinced me to come to Florida to see The Surf Club because it was a monumental project with the same sentiments.” There’s also that said history involves Frank Sinatra (though as we now know, Ol’ Blue Eyes wouldn’t have been the only reason for such a choice, as compelling a reason as it might have been). The Surf Club, as created by tire tycoon Harvey Firestone, was a playground for the rich and famous, known for its raucous Rat Pack parties and a slew of famous faces, including Elizabeth Taylor, Gary Cooper, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Tennessee Williams, and even the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. “It opened on New Year’s Eve in 1930 and became one of the most recognized clubs in the world. There were so many people there — Winston Churchill, Ernest Hemingway, the Rat Pack! And I just fell in love with the property and what it represented, which was a period of history in America that was optimistic. We had just won World War II, America was flourishing and prosperous, and The Surf Club represented that,” he explains. His vision was to revert the restaurant to its former glory, but with modern touches. The menu would be an elevated take on the classic Continental cuisine of the 50s and 60s, the era he himself grew up in, and align with the popular eateries of that time period, akin to The Colony, The

Stork Club, The Brown Derby, and The Blue Fox. Culinary highlights include old-school dishes like Beef Wellington, Lobster Thermidor, Vegetable Louie, Oysters Rockefeller, and of course, his own Regiis Ova caviar. The design curated by Martin Brudinzki Design Studio, the agency behind the beautiful and whimsical interiors at London hotspots like Annabel’s, Scott’s, and The Ivy, as well as West Hollywood’s new members-only club The Britely, is equally nostalgic thanks to Art Deco– inspired chandeliers, terrazzo flooring, a beaded ceiling, and the hand-painted trompe l’oeil mural by Gary Myatt. This historical spot is still going strong four years after it first opened, mostly because Keller subscribes to the notion that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And in this case, as is the case with most of his restaurants, consistency is key. “I’m always conflicted by the question, ‘What’s new?’ I want to answer that we’re finding new things, but at the same time, I’m like, ‘What’s wrong with what we’re doing right now? Does there have to be something new? The French Laundry and Per Se evolve every day, but at The Surf Club Restaurant or Bouchon, say, you look at the historic nature of those restaurants, you look at the history of what was served there during that period, and you try to stay true to the era. The chefs at Bouchon have a little box: Whatever was served at a French bistro back in the day is something that should be served there today. They shouldn’t be doing a riff or a twist. I’m not interested in a twist. I’m interested in making sure that we show integrity in the food that we are preparing, and how it relates to history. When I look at The Surf Club Restaurant, I think, ‘Yes, there are different things that we want to do in winter that are a little different from summer. We want to do a beautiful clam chowder in the wintertime because it’s rich and warming, and in the summertime, we want to do a gazpacho.’ There are different things we want to do, but we also want to make sure that they have a historical connection to The Surf Club.” The idea of rediscovering this golden era of Miami, and of continuing to rediscover it, brings him back to his childhood. Thomas Wolfe wrote, You Can’t Go Home Again, and Keller might have believed that, too — but now, he is so very glad he chose to return. This restaurant, in particular, takes him back to his youth, the days where he was discovering his likes, discovering his affinity for cooking, discovering what would shape him, and to be able to look back while living in the present, is a beautiful thing. “I was just starting to become aware of life: I was maybe 10 or 12 when I started working in Continental cuisine restaurants. That was all wrapped up in my childhood, and what more could a person want than to relive part of their childhood?” he agrees, adding, “Plus there were things about that era that were so seductive. The kind of restaurant we are talking about is not just food. The food is as important as any of it, and that’s why the items on the menu have reference points to history. It wasn’t just about the food; it was about the social interaction. The food, social interaction, and music all coming together to create an energy that’s unlike any other. The Surf Club Restaurant really represents what my vision was. It was the perfect location with the perfect concept, and I was excited to do it.” So did he want to go back home again? No. But now, well, that’s a different story. In the end, there really is no place like home. “With the discovery of The Surf Club, getting to work with my partner, Nadim, and seeing what we’ve been able to do there, I just love the whole thing. I see the resurgence of excitement surrounding Miami. Even before the pandemic, I felt that it was the place to be. I grew up here; [Palm Beach] was a quiet town and there weren’t any great restaurants. There wasn’t a whole lot going on. Miami has once again become one of the most
dynamic cities in America. It was lost for some time, but now, it’s back. To see its resurgence, not only as a city that’s well known in America but also around the world, is wonderful. I feel lucky to be a part of that.”
T
homas Keller is in the mood to party. The day of our interview happens to fall on the 18th anniversary of the opening of Per Se, his iconic New York City eatery. It’s also noon on a Thursday so needless to say, this isn’t going to be a hardcore rager. He did, however, commemorate the occasion (obviously). “I gave a few thoughtful comments about our restaurant, our staff, our alumni; the impact that we have and the opportunity for future impact. And then, you know, we had a glass of champagne,” Keller admits. [For those enquiring minds, the champagne in question was Modicum, a sparkling wine produced by Schramsberg, a joint venture between said winemaking team and the sommeliers at The French Laundry.] There was, of course, cake, because what’s any good celebration without it? But it’s soon back to work for Keller and co. Work precedes fun, and that’s just the way it must be. This is, after all, part of the recipe to his success. And no matter how you stir it, slice it, or dice it, Keller is absolutely one of the most successful chefs in the world. His accolades are numerous: The Culinary Institute of America’s “Chef of the Year” Award, the James Beard Foundation’s “Outstanding Chef” and “Outstanding Restaurateur” awards, and Michelin Guide’s Chef Mentor Award, among others. In 2001, Time Magazine named him America’s Best Chef. In 2011, he became the first American male chef to be designated a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor. In 2017, Keller led the team from the United States to win its first-ever gold medal in the Bocuse d’Or, a prestigious biannual competition regarded as the Olympics of the culinary world. For embodying the state’s spirit of innovation, he was inducted into the 2018 California Hall of Fame. In June 2019, Keller became the first U.S. inductee into The Master Chefs of France, the oldest savory chef association in the world. He also holds an honorary doctorate in culinary arts from The Culinary Institute of America. And his prowess in the world of haute cuisine has, inevitably, led to other ventures, ones that in his wildest dreams he couldn’t have imagined as a young kid just there to keep his mother company in the kitchen. He’s penned six cookbooks, including 2020’s The French Laundry, Per Se; and established an outpost in Yountville named Finesse The Store; Keller Manni Chocolate, a line of bean-to-bar chocolates with Armando Manni; the aforementioned Regiis Ova as well as a dedicated caviar & champagne lounge in Yountville, done in collaboration with Regiis Ova co-founder, Shaoching Bishop; Cup4Cup, a line of gluten-free flour blends and mixes; a brand ambassadorship with Hestan, which includes various cookware lines, including his namesake Thomas Keller Insignia Cookware Collection; a partnership with Cangshan knives; K+T, a collection of silver hardware and cocktail ware for Christofle Silversmiths; a collaboration with Raynaud and design firm Level that led to a collection of white porcelain dinnerware called “Hommage,” featured today at The French Laundry and Per Se; film work as a consultant on projects like Spanglish and Ratatouille; and now, most recently due to his love of golf, designing polos based on his restaurants’ logos with lifestyle brand Peter Millar. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 19
“What better way to give to someone than to nourish and nurture them at the same time?” Of the rewards he’s reaped throughout his culinary career, he says, “One of the best things about cooking is that it’s universal. I get to do so many things that I never would have gotten to do, meet so many people, experience so many different things, just because I’m a cook… and everybody has to eat!” And what a wild ride it has been. Speaking of rides, well, there’s nothing Keller is looking forward to more imminently than the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix in May. He’s a huge auto enthusiast with a predilection for BMWs (he currently owns three: a 1978 3201, a 2000 540 station wagon, and a 2014 i8), which he’s loved with a passion that has both preceded and encompassed his career as a master chef. [The French Laundry’s “house cars” are all BMWs as well, which is no coincidence.] I wonder if he’s ever raced — and the answer is, of course, yes. He confides that he and chef friends Jérôme Bocuse — son of Nouvelle Cuisine pioneer Paul Bocuse, his mentor — and Daniel Boulud all hit tracks in Atlanta and New Orleans to race Ferraris. “I don’t consider myself a racer, but Jérôme did very well at least,” he remembers. “He practiced, he had lessons. Daniel and I would just have fun with [the cars] — “fun” being pretty fast with a Ferrari.” He chuckles, “I have a small amount of car knowledge — just enough to get me into trouble.” That said, it’s not always a bad thing when these three culinary speed racers get together. In 2008, at the behest of mentor Bocuse, he, Boulud, and Jérôme Bocuse established the Ment’or Foundation, where he currently serves as president. The foundation is devoted to inspiring culinary excellence and preserving the traditions and quality of classic cuisine in America. In January of 2015, as president for the Ment’or Foundation, he led Team USA to a historic silver win in the Bocuse d’Or competition in Lyon, France, realizing Paul Bocuse’s dream of the United States making it to the podium. Two years later, in 2017, Team USA, led by executive sous chef Matthew Peters and commis Harrison Turone of Per Se, won gold. Keller recalls both moments vividly — the Bocuse d’Or being among the top three honors of his life (along with receiving his Chevalier in the French Legion of Honor in 2011, which was presented by Bocuse, and becoming the first American chef to win three Michelin stars). After winning silver, he quite clearly remembers standing in Bocuse’s Lyon, kitchen. “I said, ‘Chef, we’ve done what we said we were going to do. We’ve been promising you for seven years that we’d 20 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
make it to the podium.’ But it was earning that gold medal that he wanted Team USA to achieve. My biggest concern, as well as Daniel’s and Jérôme’s, was, Are we going to be able to do this while Paul is alive? It always makes me cry when I think about him.” In 2017, a year before Bocuse’s death, Keller went to see his mentor and gave him the American flag he had been wearing around his own neck. “I said, ‘We’re coming back with gold on Thursday.’ Well, on Thursday, we came back and what did Paul have around his neck? The American flag. It was an emotional moment for all of us.” Ironically, though he goes big or goes home for Team USA, when it comes to the subject of expanding his brand — the personality-driven part of his brand, which is — Per Se and The French Laundry — another American eatery is not an option. “There’s a very slight chance I would even do another fine dining restaurant in the genre of The French Laundry and Per Se. If it did happen, it wouldn’t happen in this country. We have two of the most recognized restaurants in America — two of only 135 three-Michelin-star restaurants in the world — and to have another restaurant like that in America would be a disservice to the brand,” he says, noting, “If I decided to open in Paris or London, that would be something, but honestly, as exciting and seductive as opening a new restaurant can be, running a new restaurant is a lot of work, and for a long time. I’m at an age now where opening a restaurant like that — which takes two to three years to build and then to open and operate for 10 or 15 years — is a huge commitment that I’m not sure I would make.” That being said, he’s always open to new opportunities, whatever they may be, and will go where the wind takes him. Or where his golf clubs take him, more likely. “One of my current goals is to get a hole in one. I came close the other day,” he confides with a laugh before adding, “If you have courage and confidence in yourself, then most of the time you’re going to be fine. Golf is the perfect example of that. Confidence and courage are such an important part of being a good golfer. If you don’t have the confidence to hit the ball, then you’re not going to hit it. If you don’t have the courage to step up and follow through, it’s just not going to be a good shot.” But if you take your shot, and keep trying, you end up with an empire. And while that might not be a hole in one, no one could ever dispute that the result is a massive win all the same — whether or not Frank Sinatra is involved.

racing event will take place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens this May, representing the inaugural race of a 10-year deal. The brand-new circuit will span 5.41km, 19 corners, three high-speed straights, with potential for three DRS (drag reduction system) zones with an estimated top speed of 320km/h — ultimately presenting a fresh track for drivers in the U.S. For For Stefano Domenicali, the president & CEO of Formula 1, the U.S. is a burgeoning market for the iconic race. “We are greatly encouraged by our growing reach in the U.S., which will be further supported by this exciting second race. We [are] working closely with the team from Hard Rock Stadium and the FIA to not only ensure that the circuit delivers sensational racing but also leaves a positive and lasting contribution for the people in the local community.” The Miami Grand Prix is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated sporting events of the year, bringing the most talented drivers and racing teams to the Magic City. 22 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

The Next Generation of Racing Haute Living sat down with Lando Norris, a top-ranked racer and the youngest ever British Formula 1 driver for the McLaren team, to discuss his strategy as he heads into his fourth full season of Formula 1 with McLaren. Haute Living: You have become a pillar in Formula 1 racing at a remarkably young age. What is your strategy to keep rising this season? Lando Norris: [It’s the] simple things: Keep working hard. Over the years, you learn what motivates you and what keeps you fighting even more to bring you to that next step — and I am learning that still. I am still understanding what gets me into the perfect zone every weekend and every race. I [am] also spending a lot of time with the McLaren team; whether it is on the simulator or just having meetings to review my [performance] from last year to see what I did well in, where I need to improve, and what my strengths and weaknesses are to make improvements on those things going into this next season. HL: It’s been quite an exciting time for the U.S. with the Miami Grand Prix race this spring. How has it felt to have a greater presence in the U.S.? LN: It’s been awesome. Austin, so far, has been the only American race; and for me, it’s one I look forward to every season. I’m sure Miami will be very different [as] the circuit is more of a street circuit and brand new. I think Netflix has also really helped American people get into Formula 1. Already last year, Austin was the most attended F1 race ever in history, and I think that comes down to Netflix and the new audience watching, coming in, and being engaged. It’s cool to see the effect and growth Netflix has had on the U.S. and for people to enjoy a new sport. HL: What is one key lesson you have learned that you will continue carrying with you into this season? LN: The one thing for me is to always enjoy it; the more I enjoy [the sport], the harder I work, and the harder I work, the better I [perform]. It’s a cycle — the more I enjoy things, the more I will want to do well in them. Secondly, it’s all about the sacrifices you gave to make along the way — they’re all worth it at the end of the day. You will pay the price if you don’t make the sacrifice, and you will see the rewards if you do. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 23

THE WINE: Doubleback Wines THE STORY
After falling in love with Napa Valley during training camps with the Oakland Raiders, Woodson launched his own label, Twenty Four, with Robert Mondavi winemaker Rick Ruiz. After retiring, he joined forces with family-owned O’Neill Vintners & Distillers and winemaker Amanda Gorter out of Paso Robles, California, to create a Pinot Noir, red blend, the limited edition Hall of Fame Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Chardonnay. The brand launched regionally in 2019 and nationally in 2020.
THE STORY
Upon retiring from the NFL in 2007, Bledsoe “doubled back” to his hometown of Walla Walla, Washington, to realize a long-held dream of establishing an estate-focused winery with the goal of crafting a rich and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. The result? Doubleback. True to his systematic success, the very first vintage immediately earned rave reviews. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 25

Former Miami Dolphins quarterback Damon Huard had to travel 3,000 miles away from home to learn about the fine wines coming from his home state of Washington. It was teammate and NFL Hall of Famer, Dan Marino, who went into his personal cellar to introduce Damon to Washington State wines during the 1997 season. Over the next decade, the former QBs’ conversation about wine evolved into a discussion about owning and operating their own winery upon Huard’s retirement and returning to Washington State. Passing Time was then launched with the 2012 vintage of cabernet and released in the spring of 2015. 26 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

THE ATHLETE: Mario Andretti
THE STORY
Earlier this year, Paul joined La Fête Wine Company as an equity partner. As a longtime supporter of the brand — the first entirely black-owned rosé wine company out of St. Tropez — it made sense for Paul, a longtime philanthropist, to align with a brand that champions social causes. Since its 2019 debut, La Fête has donated a portion of its proceeds to programs that provide disadvantaged youth with unique travel experiences, as well as to organizations that create opportunities for people of color in the wine and spirits industry.
Mario Andretti is one of the most successful race car drivers in history — one of only two drivers to have won races in Formula 1, IndyCar, the World Sportscar Championship, and NASCAR. To date, he remains the only driver ever to win the Indianapolis 500 (1969), Daytona 500 (1967), and the Formula 1 World Championship.
THE WINE: Andretti Winery THE STORY
Andretti launched his wine label as a hobby in 1996, two years after retiring from auto racing, as a way of commemorating his storied career. After catching the winemaking bug, he and longtime friend Joe Antonini purchased a plot of land in the Oak Knoll region of Napa Valley, grew several varietals of grapes, and built a Tuscan-themed winery, tasting room, and guesthouse. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 27

McLaren +2022 720S Spider Great design is timeless.
MCLAREN AUTOMOTIVE, ESTABLISHED IN 1985, GREW OUT OF THE
successful racing career of New Zealander, Bruce McLaren. His company, Bruce McLaren Motor Racing, focused primarily on Formula 1 cars. After McLaren’s passing in 1970, the company morphed a few times and, after a 1980 merger, its first entry into the world of street-going cars, the 1991 McLaren F1, was a doozy.* It arrived as a three-seater, with the pilot in the middle and the passengers slightly behind and on either side. It was pricey ($800,000 to $1,000,000), rare (only 64 were made), and really fast (0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, top speed of 217 mph). To date it has seen resales as high as $20,000,000. For the 1990s (and even today), those performance numbers were staggering — no wonder the car was so collectible. Later, McLaren decided to create more of a “people’s sports car” (“people” being defined as those flexible enough to get in and out of a small, low car and wealthy enough to buy it). Their MP4-12C was a great first entry into that market segment, but fast-forward some six years and several intervening models, we have the 2022 McLaren 720S, one of McLaren’s “Supercars” (their other car categories are “GT” and “Ultimate”). First produced in 2017, the 2022 model year 720S Spider (convertible) that was mine for about a week was as fresh as they come . . . and you can’t say that about many cars that were introduced five years ago. First, there’s the aesthetic. The 720S has the proper supercar stance — low, sleek, pointy front, slightly upswept rear, scoops and aerodynamic bobs and weaves, rear wing — and certainly has the sound befitting a car of its stature. Launched in 2017, the Spider version arrived about 24 months later, and the 28 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com
years have been very kind to this car. Everywhere I went it drew a crowd, aided no doubt by the gorgeous Amaranth Red metallic paint and lots of blacked-out bits, including those of carbon fiber, its arrival heralded by the sports exhaust. The base price on “mine” was $315,000, but it sported about $60,000 in options (thank you, McLaren, for the loan!). Of course, the looks would be an empty brag without the performance to back it up and, again, the 720S delivers. With a twin-turbo V8 pumping out over 700 hp, 0 to 60 mph times are 2.8 seconds and the top speed is 212 mph (your mileage and jail time may vary). Even the convertible top is fast — just 11 seconds from one position to the other, and it even operates on the fly, while under way up to about 30 mph. Not surprisingly, the looks and the performance are matched by the sound as the 720S announces its comings and goings with an aria that can range from basso profundo to full-on banshee (depending on your neighbors’ tolerance). I love the sound of a performance engine and McLaren delivers, in spades. One nice thing — McLaren’s Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program can provide a car that appears new, yet the looks, feel, and performance compare favorably with any new car in the segment. As McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt says, “Our mission is not only to build the best supercars in the world, but also to offer the best ownership experience.” Well done, sir. *I use this word advisedly: Some people think the word “doozy” has its roots in the auto world — deriving from the Duesenberg, the top-of-the-line American cars that were introduced to the public in 1920.

Martin +Aston DBX 707 The ultimate in practical luxury.
PHOTOS COURTESY OF ASTON MARTIN OF NORTH AMERICA

ANYONE WHO HAS DRIVEN ON THE ROAD RECENTLY must have noticed that sports utility vehicles (SUVs) have taken over and sent the majority of sedans back to their garages. They sit high so you can see better (unless there’s another SUV in front of you, which is more likely every day), hold everything, and have a cool factor that a minivan could only dream about. So is it any wonder that the car manufacturers decided that, if an SUV was popular, why not make an SSUV (Super SUV), perhaps the auto world’s first Clark Kent/Superman dichotomy, with the first impression being a nice-looking machine but, hidden somewhere under that sheet metal is the power to light up a small city. Of course, we need to give a nod to the Porsche Cayenne (I think that “Porsche Sriracha” wasn’t available), which was at least among the first and one of the most popular ways to combine the practicality of an SUV with the fun and alacrity of a sports car, to create the great combination of huevos and salsa. And since that time (around 2002), Porsche has gone on to create several versions of the Cayenne while others have jumped into the fray with incredibly powerful variants. To achieve the top horsepower
record for a luxury SUV today means that you must consider the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT (679 hp), Lamborghini Urus (650 hp), and a few others (with some even more powerful all-electrics coming at warp speed). But the newest Aston Martin DBX 707 luxury SUV weighs in with a touch under 700 hp. The DBX itself is a great Aston — it ticks all the boxes for an excellent SUV but adds the Aston Martin secret sauce: design, fit, finish, quality materials, Aston DNA — which makes it unmistakably a member of the family. But not to be outdone by others in the luxury SUV space, Aston cooked up its alreadyhealthy twin-turbo V8 so that it pumps out 707 PS. That’s where the name comes from: It’s the equivalent of about 700 hp, has about 665 lb.-ft of torque, and can move this 4,950 lb. (curb weight) hauler 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and keep going on up to 193 mph. (For comparison, the standard DBX has about 535 hp, hits 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 181 mph.) The 707 base price is expected to be roughly $235,000, well above the standard DBX’s base of $176,900. Deliveries are expected to begin around the middle of 2022.
+2022 Mercedes EQS Running against the wind.
HAS THE FUTURE ARRIVED? SILLY QUESTION, I KNOW, AS TODAY
simply is yesterday’s future. But I mean, has the world of Aldous Huxley, Alvin
Toffler, and even Faith Popcorn arrived? Certainly, when it comes to automotive motivation, it may seem so since there are now far more hybrid, electric, and at least partially self-driving cars on the roads worldwide than ever before. The dialogue around e-cars often divides people along aural issues. “Yes, I like the acceleration, but I miss the sound of a healthy internal combustion engine” (ICE, ice baby!). That discussion invariably takes me back to what must have been a frequent conversation among two groups of enthusiasts at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries: “Yes, the automobile is interesting but I miss the dynamic sounds of when the hoofs meet the roadway, the occasional whinny, and even that great new-horse smell.” Apparently even the most outmoded technology can have its adherents, and then there are the Luddites who prefer the way things always have been (or even as they used to be). But clearly as we move toward a petroleum-free future (as they aren’t making any more dinosaurs), what exactly are the alternatives? The best option today is electrification, and exhibit A is the 2022 Mercedes EQS. Mercedes may not be the first carmaker of the modern era to join the electron club but it certainly jumped in with both feet in creating this EQ all-electric sub-brand (EQ, for “electric intelligence”) and the EQS is the S-Class electric car that tops their e-car spectrum. As befits any car with the pedigree of a Mercedes S, the EQS has a myriad creature comforts and a big velvet bag full of electronic wizardry. To start, the car doesn’t look like a traditional Mercedes. The “coefficient of drag” (or CD)
— the measurement of how much wind resistance a car experiences while underway — is crucial in order to efficiently slice through the air to achieve a longer range. The EQS was sculpted in order to minimize the CD so the look resembling a smooth jellybean is truly a form-follows-function concept. With a CD value of .20, it reportedly is the “slipperiest” series production car in the world. And not only does that provide for a longer range on a battery that doesn’t have to be bigger to achieve it, but it also provides for a quieter ride since there’s less wind interference. Inside the cabin, the future is readily apparent, starting with the 56-inch dashboard screen. That’s right — close to five feet of uninterrupted horizontal glass, behind which sit multiple screens for driver info on the left, general functions and navigation in the center (which also can be moved left), and a variety of choices for the front seat passenger on the right. The EQS 450+ Sedan starts at $102,310, has 329 hp and goes 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. Range is about 350 miles. The EQS 580 4MATIC Sedan starts at $119,110, its twin motors together have 516 hp and the car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. The 580’s range has not been announced as of press time. I loved my time with the EQS, which included a multiday trip, as it was a great freeway car (so quiet!), had more than ample luggage capacity (the rear seats fold down), and it was exceptionally comfortable and easy to drive. Those who are concerned about what the future will bring should at least take comfort in knowing that Mercedes has your back (and the rest of you, for that matter) with this well-designed car.

MOVES
LaFerrari’s powerful younger brother. BY TIM LAPPEN

WHEN I SAT DOWN TO WRITE ABOUT THE FERRARI SF90, I HAD TWO
ideas — one was simply to type “Wow!” 500 times, thereby filling my word count while leaving enough room for some nice photos. However, that would not provide much illumination about this incredible vehicle, so I went with the second option — “Wow!” written only 100 times with more discussion following. “Good idea,” said I to no one in particular. “Not so fast,” said my editor. So here’s the result of that negotiation. The SF90 is one of the most incredible vehicles I have ever driven. What does that mean exactly? It means that it is gorgeous, it has copious amounts of power (almost 1,000 hp!), it can accelerate like an aircraft carrier’s jet launcher and can top the speed of virtually any passenger jet’s liftoff velocity. Yet words alone cannot amply describe what it is like to drive a car that has such an ability to thrill that it can accelerate faster than you can say “Isaac Newton” since it’s an object that seemingly never stays at rest. The name SF90 denotes that Scuderia (“stable,” of course) Ferrari was founded 90 years ago. The Scuderia moniker normally is associated with the racing division of a car manufacturer, but when it comes to Ferrari, their street cars are imbued with the soul of their racers so it was appropriate to denote this street car as the SF90 as it is the first Ferrari ever to combine potent gasoline-powered energy (769 hp) with three electric motors (217 hp). Two of those motors are independent of each other and motivate the front wheels while the third motor assists the gas engine in providing the thrust to the gearbox and, by extension, the rear wheels. And boy does that power (a total of 986 hp) perform, with 0 to 60 mph hit in 2.5 seconds, quicker than you can say “License and registration, too?”
All Ferraris are both sinewy and svelte and the SF90 does not wander from that formula. With purposeful scoops, vents, wings, and slats, the car looks fast when stopped and is superfast when underway. The top speed is 211 mph but it’s how it gets there — the way it feels and sounds — and the way it handles once there that combine to make this car so amazing. It clearly is a close relative of the Ferrari Formula 1 cars as it’s so comfortable under heavy acceleration and cruising at high speed (no, I didn’t exceed 200 mph; I promise that I was below 150 mph virtually the entire time). And yet there is no punishment imposed as a byproduct of that astounding performance as the car feels like it’s on the way to far greater speeds, so comfortable is it under all of the conditions that I experienced. The SF90 clearly is a performance car for the ages but it’s also beautiful, easy, and fun to drive, plus it sounds great. Since it’s a plug-in hybrid, I was surprised (not really) to see that it wasn’t on the California DMV carpooleligible list but, then again, maybe that’s not the target market. With a base price of $513, 691, perhaps not that many owners will be commuting 9 to 5. However and wherever you drive it, if you’re fortunate enough to get some seat time with this special car, I predict that you will love every minute of it. @hauteauto HAUTE LIVING 31

NOTEWORTHY Hublot introduces new timepieces at LVMH Watch Week 2022. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
LVMH Watch Week, which was dedicated to the group’s four maisons: Bvlgari, TAG Heuer, Zenith, and Hublot. The LVMH Watch Week, now in its third edition, welcomes watchmaking craftspeople and industry tastemakers into the wonderful world of timepiece artisanship. For Hublot, this year marks a return of bespoke classics with a modern upgrade and novelties worth noting.
TIME ONLY: FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE BIG BANG INTEGRAL IN 40MM
For the first time, Hublot has featured three pieces, three hands, and three materials in one 40mm diameter. This is a first for the Big Bang Integral — and an exclusively sleek design. “No one was expecting it, so of course, we did it: a Big Bang Integral that is more compact, vibrant, and powerful than ever, while also being more refined than any of its other timepieces,” explains Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot. “It has been a true exercise in watch design, retaining our aesthetic and technical grammar but in a totally new format for us. We pulled off the challenge by creating a Big Bang Integral, which once again proves its versatility and modernity!”
BIG BANG ONE CLICK 33-, 39- AND 42MM
For a trendier yet sophisticated approach, the Big Bang One Click 33s reveals its multiple facets and come with the new luxury of silky bracelets in a range of vibrant colors. “Hublot excels in flouting conventions, perfectly matching materials that are rarely seen together or have no natural affinity. It’s been [an exceptionally] long time since timepieces were synonymous with austerity. Precision is the common denominator of Haute Horlogerie and jewelry. The Big Bang One Click combines the best of both worlds by giving you the freedom to match your jewelry with your look,” says Guadalupe.

THE BIG BANG UNICO GOLF, ORANGE CARBON EDITION
Inspired by renowned American professional golfer Dustin Johnson, the Big Bang Unico gold watch — the first mechanical golf watch with aperture display — is back, but this time, in orange carbon. Designed for the modern golfer, the watch is equipped with an exclusive shot-counting mechanism. “The combination of this great sport, this great champion, and this great mechanical golf watch continues to excite us, and we’re very proud to introduce this latest version of what has become an icon in golf and in Swiss watchmaking,” explains Guadalupe.
THE MAGIC OF INKED TIME: THREE NEW MODELS OF BIG BANG SANG BLEU II
The Hublot x Sang Bleu collaboration continues with three new Big Bang Sang Bleu II iterations. In the seventh year of collaboration, Maxime Plescia-Buchi chose to apply his ink to two iconic materials born from the Hublot Art of Fusion — magic gold and ceramic. “We love these long-term collaborations [that] allow us to combine, experiment with, and transpose our expertise and our vision to develop them and push them to new limits,” reveals Guadalupe. “Our scratch-resistant materials engraved with the indelible lines of the Sang Bleu geometry imbue with even greater meaning the messages he conveys through his art: perfection, balance, precision, inalterability, and irreversibility.”
THE RETURN TO YELLOW GOLD
Last, but equally significant, Hublot returns to its heritage. Six new Hublot pieces were exclusively unveiled at LVMH Watch Week that recaptured the original essence of the manufacture: the fusion of gold and rubber in a sporty-chic aesthetic, at a time when, over four decades ago, the concept of the elevated sport watch didn’t even exist.

masterful collection of timepieces. The new models, the SLGH009 and the SLGA013, form part of the Heritage Collection, a signature line in the celebration of the 55th anniversary of the 44GS. Both creations focus on the three fundamental pillars for the brand: precision, durability, and beauty. For these watches, Grand Seiko opted for a diameter of 40mm, giving them a sporty, elegant look. For the dials, Grand Seiko looked to the sky for inspiration, drawing on the elliptical pattern of the orbit of stars, deeply etched into the surface. The result? An understated yet mesmerizing appeal. Aesthetically similar, the Ever-Brilliant Steel, which is made of corrosion-resistant metal that outperforms the 316L steel commonly used in watches. It can also be polished to perfection, reflecting a brilliant white hue that suits these watches perfectly. While both the SLGH009 and SLGA013 may look similar, there is a profound difference between them. SLGH009 features Grand Seiko’s caliber 9SA5. This automatic movement runs at 36,000 VpH and has a generous power reserve of 80 hours. The finishing of the movement is breathtaking and a true joy to behold. SLGA013 highlights another area of expertise of Grand Seiko, as it is powered by Spring Drive technology. For caliber 9RA2, the brand switched the power reserve indicator to the back of the movement while maintaining the other characteristics. It comes with a five-day power reserve, and thanks to the Spring Drive, it is accurate to around 10 seconds per month. Both watches will be available as limited editions of 550 at the Grand Seiko Boutiques and select Grand Seiko retail stores worldwide in February 2022.

LOUIS VUITTON STANDS AT THE INTERSECTION OF
innovative technology and vibrant storytelling to elevate the experience of traditional haute horlogerie. The latest creation, the Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum, further explores the intricacies of high-level watchmaking. “The Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum is not only a formidable horological feat, it is a unique and disruptive complicated hybrid watch that combines the best of the mechanical and electronic worlds at the service of both legibility and design,” explains Jean Arnault, the director of marketing and development at Louis Vuitton Watches. Inspired by the bioluminescence of deep-sea creatures, the new release utilizes a dozen tiny LEDs that light up the Spin Time display from within, creating an electrifying glow. The hour cubes illuminate on demand, adding a fourth dimension to the signature complication. The 42mm watch features a sleek matte
black titanium case complemented by a contrasting luminous yellow-green color on the dial — the trademark colors of SuperLuminova. The Tambour embraces a bold, vibrant design that is both sophisticated and contemporary, adhering to the codes of Louis Vuitton watchmaking. Developed by the esteemed La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the movement is powered by the proprietary LV 68 calibre (two batteries power the electronic features of the watch), which sits at the center of the watch, designed to appear as if it is floating within the watch case. As a unique twist, the floating cubes of the Spin Time each make a quarter revolution twice a day (two cubes every 60 minutes), prompted by the Maltese cross gears positioned at a right angle to the movement. The Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum has undoubtedly set a new precedent for technical in the world of high watchmaking.

IN THE WORLD OF WATCHES, NOT ALL CREATIONS ARE
equal. Some are just more important than others because, as with other industries, market share and profitability play an essential role. With few exceptions, this is usually not achieved with overly complicated, limited edition pieces but more so with a strong foundation collection. Zenith is strengthening theirs with the introduction of the Defy Skyline. The Defy Skyline is what is often referred to as a three-hander. This means that next to hours and minutes, it also displays the seconds, often complemented by a date function. Zenith opted for a case diameter of 41mm, giving the watch a strong profile. Its character is further enhanced by the bezel, for which the brand took inspiration from the very first Defy, the A3642. A large crown makes winding and setting the watch a breeze. The Defy Skyline won’t need to be wound that often as it is fitted with an automatic movement and a generous 60-hour power reserve. Zenith wanted to make sure that its latest creation would endure in any circumstance, and with a water resistance of 100 meters, it is certainly not afraid of being dunked. It also comes with an interchangeable strap system, allowing you to swap from a metal bracelet to a rubber strap in mere minutes. The subdial for the seconds moves with 1/10th
increments, setting the Defy Skyline even further apart. This is thanks to manufacture caliber 3620, which runs at 36,000 VpH/5 Hz. This beautifully finished movement can be admired through the sapphire caseback. The Defy Skyline is offered in three dial colors: black, blue, and silver. All feature a pattern on the dial inspired by the night sky. A generous coating of SuperLuminova on the hands and the hour markers ensures that when you admire the real night sky yourself, you can still read the time just as easily. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 39

As a brand rooted in and enriched by its past, Louis Vuitton’s heritage of exceptional craftsmanship will forever be preserved. In fact, a 2021 Assouline book, Louis Vuitton Manufactures, properly details the skilled artisans as well as the ateliers of Louis Vuitton. It is in the ateliers where the true savoir-faire is acquired, and innovation nurtured. And Asnières, the very first atelier in the suburbs of Paris, is still a Louis Vuitton institution. Today, Asnières continues to produce unique, customized orders for hard-sided luggage and many of the house’s trademark pieces. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 57

A Gucci Love Affair “Meet me on Hollywood Boulevard” is how the show invitations announced the event, with envelopes that were sealed with a kiss from Alessandro Michele, as Gucci shut down Hollywood Boulevard for an iconic evening under — and with — the stars to reveal the 2022 Gucci Love Parade collection. Presented as an ode to Michele’s mother, who worked in the film industry as an assistant in a production company and would tell enchanting tales of Hollywood, the collection exemplifies Michele’s own notion of Hollywood. “Mum always told me about it: Los Angeles shines in its own magic, which is timeless; it’s a place that brushes the divinities, becoming a mythology of the possible,” Michele writes in the show notes. From stunning, ethereal lace gowns and floral dresses to dramatic cowboy hats and the brand-new Blondie bag, the Gucci Love Parade weaves a story of desire and romance that underscores the ease of California living.

FACE MASKS A BEGINNER’S GUIDE How to choose the facial skincare mask that will give your skin an optimal glow.
96 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty
dermatologist or plastic surgeon skin specialist will help you understand your individual skin best. Then you can home in on the mask that will address your specific skin issues.
STEP 1:
Let’s first look at mask ingredients, as your skin type and issues will guide you toward the ingredients required to solve any skin problems. Acne And Inflamed + Oily Skin: Face masks can help calm inflamed skin and prevent breakouts but they aren’t a long-term remedy for acne, so daily use of a gentle, barrier-loving skincare product should still be a part of your beauty routine. For adult acne, avoid teen products with benzoyl peroxide. Instead, look for salicylic acid, azelaic acid, and natural enzymes like papain from papayas and bromelain from pineapples to gently remove dead skin and pore-clogging substances while putting out the fire of inflammation. Sensitive And Inflamed: If your skin is sensitive and inflamed, it is most definitely barrier-disordered. In this case, gentle, pH-appropriate (around pH 5) products containing no emulsifiers or detergents are preferred. Too high or too low pH destroys the natural fats in your skin’s protective lipid bilayer, and emulsifiers wash away those good fats, leaving skin with an inability to function properly. Thus, you get more sensitivities. Instead, seek out inflammation-quenching and soothing ingredients like Butcher’s-broom, rose hip seed oil, Betadefensin, IGF-1, and D-panthenol in a rich lipid-based formulation of phosphatidylcholine and the proper ratio of cholesterols, ceramides, and fatty acids to repair your skin’s barrier. Dark Spots And Hyperpigmentation: Brightening ingredients like tranexamic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, kojic acid, and gigawhite

skincare masks that promise, among other things, enduring hydration, clearer, younger-looking skin, and even softer, dewy skin. From clay and mud to creams, gels, and exfoliating complexes, there are specially formulated ingredients that target every kind of skin problem. Aging? Check. Hyperpigmentation? Check. Acne, sunspots, clogged pores? Yep, there’s a mask or a sheet or a cream for that. Facial skincare masks work their magic by soaking the face with your chosen formula for a set period, usually 10 to 20 minutes, giving the ingredients more time to penetrate and take effect. They can be an effective way to deliver an intensive burst of nourishing and therapeutic skincare ingredients in a highly concentrated form. Masks can be a fantastic tool to have in your beauty arsenal, but not all skincare masks are a good fit for every skin type. Depending on your skin type and goals, different masks work better for different skins. And, while they can be a quick fix for some issues like inflammation and dehydration, their benefits are only temporary, so you should always use them in conjunction with daily skincare products. In general, limit face mask application to just once a week and always discontinue if irritation develops. Sounds great, but what’s the downside? Because of their length of application and concentration, a mask can be risky and lead to a surprising number of issues, including dryness, irritation, redness, and breakouts if the wrong type is used. With hundreds of face mask formulas out there, which one should you pick? The physiology of your unique skin will determine which ingredients are best for you, so go to a skin specialist first to get to know your skin. It’s surprising how many people misdiagnose their own skin, so a

compound with botanicals like licorice root extract work to lighten and brighten multiple layers of pigmentation. If the skin isn’t too sensitive, you can combine the brighteners with exfoliating ingredients such as alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), lactic acid, and natural fruit enzymes to help remove dead, discolored skin from the surface. Dry, Dehydrated Skin: Dry, dehydrated skin needs serious hydration as well as barrier repair to keep water from escaping, so you’ll want to use a face mask filled with water-retaining humectants like hyaluronic acid, urea, and glycerin combined with barrier-restoring CM-glucan and lipids, including ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterols. Fine Lines And Signs of Aging: Although deeper wrinkles will likely require a trip to your plastic surgeon or dermatologist for laser resurfacing, radiofrequency microneedling, and fillers, certain face masks can help minimize the appearance of fine lines. Masks containing high doses of antioxidants like esterified vitamin C, along with vitamin E, coQ10, isoflavones, EGCG, green tea extract, and resveratrol from grape seed extract work to protect the skin from the things that cause fine lines, such as environmental pollution and UV damage.
STEP 2:
Now that you know which ingredients to focus on for your skin issues, you’ll want to narrow down the type of carrier material of the face mask that’s best for you and your skin. Certain ingredients and face mask types go together like PB&J.
MUD, CLAY, AND CHARCOAL Mud Masks: Ideal for many skin types, mud masks are designed to give a deep, but hydrating cleanse. They may be similar in appearance to the clay variety, but because they are water-based, they are more hydrating and are suitable for people with dryer, duller skin. You’ll often find mud masks containing various gentle alpha-hydroxy acids and fruit extracts. These are best for tolerant, but drier, congested skin. Sensitive and rosacea-prone skin should look elsewhere, though, as water-based and acidic products can cause flare-ups. Clay: Clay is mud’s cousin. The main difference between the two is that mud is a skin-healing agent, while clay is a cosmetic, drying agent. Clay masks are most useful for those with oily skin who are prone to breakouts of acne and blemishes. Clay masks, which are rich in minerals, are also great for revitalizing dull skin. The two main types of clay masks — kaolin and bentonite — absorb excess oil and are suitable for both oily and acneprone skin. They can be a little drying, though so already dry, dehydrated skin types may want to be wary. Ultimately, knowing your skin type and the results you wish to achieve through a mask is essential, but both mud and clay-based products can deliver great benefits to the skin, too. Charcoal: Charcoal face masks contain activated charcoal, an ingredient that has unique detoxifying properties. There’s little evidence to support the use of charcoal face masks, however, so this is not a preferred treatment in my book. Unlike most other peel-off face masks, peel-off charcoal masks contain an adhesive that dries upon application and is then peeled away from the skin, along with dead skin cells. Further, charcoal peel-off masks claim to be able to physically remove blackheads, and this is false. The white debris removed by these masks is usually sebaceous filaments, not blackheads. Sebaceous filaments are a combination of dead skin cells, sebum, and bacteria that naturally occur around hair follicles, and are not a sign of infection. Removing them does not have any beneficial effect. While these masks often succeed at removing debris, their method of doing so is quite aggressive. The removal process is often painful for many users, and strips away healthy skin cells and small vellus hairs — a process that leaves the skin irritated and vulnerable to infection. So while it can remove surface impurities, it is too risky and does not have enough benefit to invest in.
MOISTURIZING, HYDRATING CREAMS, AND GELS Cream Masks: Thicker cream masks can be great for particularly dry skin that needs a healthy dose of moisturization. These lipid-based moisturizers hydrate your skin by capturing the moisture within the oil barrier and hold more beneficial compounds, including essential fatty acids, vitamin F, and phospholipids, which is why cream moisturizers are not only hydrating but also nourishing. People with dry skin can really benefit from using cream moisturizers because cream moisturizers can work on so many levels. If you have mature skin, cream moisturizers can help with fine lines and wrinkles. This mask is ideal for carrying fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A and E as well as barrier lipids that efficiently deliver them to particularly devitalized skin. This type of mask supports intensive recovery. They are left on and not rinsed off to allow for continued skin penetration. Luxurious overnight masks often fall into this category. Gel Masks: Gel masks are usually oil-free, which makes their texture light. They can hydrate your skin without clogging your pores. With added hyaluronic acid as a water-boosting humectant, gel formulas typically include cucumber or aloe vera to soothe and calm inflamed skin, making them ideal for sensitized (not sensitive) skin. However, they are not ideal for more rosacea-prone skin, which can worsen with water-based products. Additionally, the alcohol in gel masks allows them to dry or “cure” quickly but can cause dryness and irritation if you have sensitive skin.
EXFOLIATING: ACIDS, SCRUBS, AND ENZYMES Alpha Hydroxy Acid Masks: Sugar acid or AHA exfoliants, like glycolic acid and lactic acid, are featured extensively in many exfoliating face masks. These mild acids work to remove dead cells built upon the surface of the face, leaving skin looking brighter and feeling smoother. The application of these acids is weaker than that of a chemical peel but produces many of the same benefits. Rosaceaprone, sensitized, sensitive, or dehydrated skin are likely to respond negatively to these acids, so exercise caution if you choose to use them. Physical Scrubbing Masks: You will also often see physical scrub masks on the store shelves, but you really should know what the scrub is made from to understand the impact it can have on your skin. For instance, while smooth, round jojoba beads in a cream mask base are a safe and effective physical exfoliant, crushed nut shells or fruit seeds (hello, apricot scrub, we are looking at you!) are not preferred because of their rough and jagged nature. They can do more damage to your skin than good. Enzyme Masks: Fruit enzymes, such as those derived from pineapples and papayas, are another way to exfoliate. Typically mild and nonirritating to most skin types except the most sensitive, they also break down dead skin cells to even skin tone and brighten skin, as well as smooth rough-textured skin.
PEEL-OFF AND SHEET MASKS Peel-Off Alga-Based Masks: With a rubberlike texture, they’re kind of fun to remove, (you know you’ve seen the Instagram reels!) These masks can be used for just about any skin concern if they contain individual skin-suiting ingredients. Some contain acids, such as glycolic and salicylic, that exfoliate and combat acne. Others are full of hydrating hyaluronic acid or antioxidants like green tea and grape seed extract. Overall, they are safe, versatile, and refreshing. Sheet Masks: First popularized in Korea, most sheet masks contain moisturizing hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which help restore the skin’s barrier; and antioxidants, which defend against free radicals. Sheet masks tend to be deeply hydrating and inflammation-quenching, so they are particularly great for post-procedure skin, dry skin, inflamed skin, and fine lines. hauteliving.com/hautebeauty HAUTE LIVING

Scar Less Cosmetic Surgery The art of rethinking years-old techniques and bringing them into the 21st century.
Haute Beauty: What are “Scar Less” cosmetic surgical procedures? Dr. Robert Vitolo: Essentially, it is a way of rethinking yearsold techniques and bringing them into the 21st century through advancements in surgery and the development of new techniques. I have taken common surgeries, such as breast augmentation, brow and face lift, and rhinoplasties and am able to accomplish the same results without leaving visible or minimal scarring. HB: When were you introduced to the Scar Less technique? RV: About 20 years ago, general surgeons started to change the climate of doing gall bladder surgery through endoscopic technique, so why weren’t we able to use the same concept in breast enlargement? Scars are telltale signs of breast augmentation, no matter where you put them, they are visible. In the Scar Less technique we make a small incision in the bottom of the belly button and insert empty safe saline implants through that incision under the existing breast tissue. We then fill the empty saline implants from outside of the body with saline (saltwater) solution and the empty implants enlarge making the breast larger. When we make an incision through the belly button it results in scar on a scar, basically becoming imperceptible to the eye. For more on this remarkable technique, visit drvitolo.com. 98 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com/hautebeauty
HB: You are like an artist with a canvas. You put tons of precision, thought, and knowledge into these procedures. How do you take a highly personalized approach to each patient? RV: Every woman’s breasts are unique. The first thing I do when I examine a woman for breast enlargement is I point out the discrepancies in size, shape, and position. I aim to get [the] breasts as symmetrical and natural looking as possible. Once a woman has a breast enlargement, [she] will notice these asymmetries unless we work to correct it through the Scar Less technique. The Scar Less breast enlargement technique is unique in plastic surgery, and it can only be performed with safe saline implants. Since I perform many of these procedures weekly, we stock all the different sizes and contours of implants in our surgicenter. This allows us to accurately select the proper size and contour of the implant to be used rather than the implants that were typically ordered for doctors that were performing a procedure. When I perform a Scar Less breast enlargement, I begin by having a patient choose a photograph of what they want to look like. After selecting a photograph, both the patient and I are on the same page and during the procedure we refer to the photograph and compare the augmented breasts to the photograph. By using this technique, I am able to create a breast that the patient has already selected in the photograph. I don’t preselect the size and contour of the implant as most plastic surgeons do. Before we insert the actual implant, we use what is called a “sizer”, “a single-use temporary implant that is available in all shapes and sizes, that is not meant for permanent insertion.” We put a sizer in each breast and through the fill tube that comes out the belly button we inflate each sizer with saline solution, the sizer gets larger and the breast tissue expands outward. By doing this technique we have created a pocket for the implant that is the exact size that is necessary [without creating] any bleeding or damage to the tissue as the implant slowly expands and pushes the tissue under the breast out of the way. We adjust the volumes of the temporary implant sizers with the patient in a sitting position and then slowly remove the saline until the breast looks like the photograph that the patient selected. We then know the exact volume and implant profile that will create that look. We then select that implant from our inventory and insert the real implants. The difference between the Scar Less technique that I perform is that the procedure usually takes 30 minutes, but 20 minutes of that time is spent determining how much saline to put in each implant. That allows [us] to not guess the size and shape of the implant being inserted before

AS WE AGE, WE GAIN INSIGHT, CONFIDENCE, AND WISDOM — and pay for it with wrinkles, creases, and sagging. But through modern cosmetic techniques such as Scar Less (TUBA) breast enlargement, mommy makeovers, and facelifts, you can look better than ever. Haute Beauty expert Dr. Robert Vitolo, a world-renowned plastic and cosmetic surgeon, performs transumbilical breast enlargement through a Scar Less technique. Haute Beauty sat down with Dr. Vitolo to talk about how he began to perform these procedures and what really makes them unique.
HB: What is your most popular Scar Less procedure? RV: Probably breast augmentation. Prior existing techniques don’t allow for the scars to be hidden. I have worked to develop other techniques based on the original no-scar breast enlargement, but breast enlargement is the most popular technique because it is the most-requested procedure in cosmetic surgery.

Clockwise from top left: Scar Less closed rhinoplasty, Scar Less brow lift with standard face and neck lift, Scar Less brow and mid facelift In the Scar Less Closed Rhinoplasty that I perform, there is no scar that is visible on the outside of the nose. Typically, with an open rhinoplasty where the surgeon makes an incision on the tissue between the nostrils and lifts up the tissue to visualize the underlying structures, there is a scar that is left where that incision was made. In the Scar Less Eye Lid Surgery on the lower eye lids that is designed to remove the excess fat pads, I do not make an incision underneath the eyelashes and lift the skin up to access the fat beneath. I make an incision inside the eyelid and remove the excess fat from that incision. The beauty of this is that there is no scar and most patients do not develop any bruising after the surgery, and they can also return to work in usually one day.

the surgery is performed [while allowing] us to select the right implant volume and profile for each patient. Based on years of experience and thousands of breast enlargements, I have been able to estimate how much of the breast will change after the surgery. That is the art of the procedure, one has to be able to create a picture of the breast before it exists and factor in how much the breast will change over the next few months and take into account all the factors that can create the final results. HB: Other than minimal scarring, what are the additional benefits of Scar Less breast augmentation? RV: The Scar Less breast enlargement technique usually takes a total of 30 minutes. These are the advantages. There is no visible scar and almost no bleeding from this procedure. Most patients can go back to work or their normal activities within a day or two because of the minimal trauma inflicted on the body. The pain level is minimal; although we give patients a supply of strong pain medication, very few women take more than one the first night and beyond. HB: As discussed, you use the Scar Less technique for other procedures. What other procedures do you perform with the Scar Less technique? RV: The Endoscopic Brow and Mid-face procedure is a facelift with no visible scars. And that is because all the small incisions are hidden in the hair. There is usually no bruising with these procedures and most patients can return to work in four to five days, where a standard open facelift usually takes two weeks or more before acceptable healing to be in public.
HB: Is there a reason you continued to perform Scar Less procedures? RV: All our procedures are designed to create the best, longest-lasting result for the patient without creating unwanted scars. The last thing any surgeon wants is to have an unsatisfied patient. I never want to be in that position, so our entire practice is geared toward satisfying a patient with natural-looking surgeries. HB: What is your philosophy for having a satisfied patient? RV: My entire practice is geared around satisfied patients and giving them a result that they desired. We specialize in natural-looking cosmetic surgery without creating any telltale scars in the process. From the minute a patient enters my office they are greeted warmly by my small but very experienced staff; basically you can call our practice a boutique practice. I spend a great deal of time investigating what the patient’s short-term and long-term goals are. We design a plan for not only the current surgery but also possible surgeries in the future. We take into account the patients’ desires and also their budgets and try to maximize their results for what they are able to afford. My philosophy is “If you want something done well, you have to do it yourself.” I don’t delegate any ask in my practice to other physicians, physician assistants or nurses. Every stitch that I put in, I personally take out. Every filler I inject, I inject myself. Many years ago, I learned to ensure that you have the best possible results, you are the one that has to perform the procedure and its follow-up, and myself and my staff are geared toward making every patient’s experience a memorable one.

SPOTLIGHT ON: MONACO WHERE TO STAY, PLAY, WINE, AND DINE IN THE PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO, ONE OF THE FRENCH RIVIERA’S HAUTEST DESTINATIONS BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
Prestigious hotels, high-end spas, private beaches, cocktails by the sea, and royalty: These are the characteristics that define Monaco, a sovereign city-state and microstate on the French Riviera known for its wealth and unparalleled glamour, Princess Grace, and the Formula 1 Grand Prix. It is a destination full of magic, where time appears to have stood still. Here, we highlight why it needs to be on your radar.
WHAT’S NEW
Monaco’s iconic Casino Square has been restored to its former glory while providing a fresh, spacious, and safe place to meet. The renovated Place du Casino not only has more pedestrian-friendly spaces, but also preserves the famous Formula 1 Grand Prix race course, and now has space for Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Group’s VIP customers to park their Insta-worthy cars. Then, this world-famous locale has always enjoyed the crème de la crème of luxury shopping, but the new One Monte-Carlo district — located between the Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo and the Place du Casino — takes things to another level. In addition to boutiques from top designers, including Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Prada, visitors can look forward to haute couture-level snacks at Mada One (helmed by Michelin-starred chef Marcel Ravin), all surrounded by a lush new landscaped area created to continue the principality’s emphasis on sustainable design. On that note, it would be remiss not to mention its lofty green goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. To meet this milestone, the city-state is determined to improve its tourism economy through environmentally conscious initiatives, including the Monaco E-Prix and E-Rally, as well as green transportation that includes e-bikes, e-cars, and e-boats.

Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo’s lobby
Ideally located right in the center of the principality, a short walk from the Place du Casino, Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is striking because of its Mediterranean styling, all 62 rooms and 63 suites of which have been decorated by famous French designer Jacques Garcia. [The most luxurious room is the Suite Carré d’Or, with its 1,200-square-foot private terrace overlooking the water.] The second phase of his property-wide embellishment and renovation will be unveiled in April 2023. Meanwhile, late and great fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld is responsible for Odyssey, the stylish outdoor pool-restaurant-bar that’s shielded by gardens, with a heated seawater pool backed by oversize glass screens with black-and-white images portraying the legendary Greek king. This hotel is a gourmand’s dream destination: It offers a whopping four Joël Robuchon eateries, including Yoshi, the late chef’s first Japanese restaurant. The property is also known for its spa, having opened the third Givenchy spa in the world in April 2017. For an out-of-the-ordinary experience, try the hotel’s Just for You experiences: scrupulously coordinated, bespoke outings that include everything from Grand Prix training to flying a helicopter over Mont Blanc.

HOTEL DE PARIS MONTE-CARLO
The lobby at Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo The Diamond Suite Riviera at Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo
The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, situated on the legendary Place du Casino, has been a Monaco icon since 1884, having hosted everyone from the Rockefellers to the Rothschilds, and, specifically, the wedding reception of Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace. In 2014, the palace embarked on a $665 million, four-year renovation led by French architect Richard Martinet, emerging with 208 refreshed rooms, including 96 luxurious suites, an open-air, tree-lined courtyard of haute jewelry, two royal-themed rooftop villas (Jacuzzi tubs included), a second Alain Ducasse eatery — ÔMER joined the three Michelin-starred restaurant Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse à l’Hôtel de Paris, and the one-starred Le Grill — as well as a star-stylist-branded salon that offers private yacht service, a first for the principality. The Hôtel de Paris is also, quite uniquely, home to the world’s largest hotel wine cellar, stocked with more than 350,000 bottles, half of which hail from Bordeaux. For the best stay possible, book the two-story Princess Grace Suite, an homage to American actress Grace Kelly, who famously wed the city-state’s Prince Rainier III in 1956. Spanning the entire seventh and eighth floors, the suite pays tribute to the legendary royal through artwork and books from her personal library as well as bouquets of her favorite blush pink roses. Expect mother-of-pearl inlays, 180-degree seaside views, and spa-like features such as a granite-carved hot tub. Pl. du Casino, 98000 Monaco

This modern and luxurious hotel in the heart of Monaco is the epitome of refinement. Of its many gorgeous Belle Epoque details, the most famous is perhaps its Gustave Eiffel–designed glass dome. With its decorative urns, ornate mantle clocks, and its classic French furnishings, it pulls together that image of a 19thcentury palace, and the romance and exclusivity that comes with it. The hotel’s 278 rooms are just as elegant thanks to their Louis XV-style furnishings and periodfriendly powdered tones, though it should be noted that the terrace rooms are the ones to beat due to their views of the sea and harbor. The hotel also features a beach club on a totally private stretch of sand, as well as the futuristic, 75,000-squarefoot Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo spa, which is among the best in Europe with its heated saltwater pool, hammam, and Jacuzzi overlooking the Prince’s Palace — as well as the totally cool, secret underground passage that leads there.

LOCAL EXPERIENCES
Le Grill at Hôtel de Paris
No stay in the principality is complete without a taste of the local delicacies, and Monaco is positively brimming with places to appreciate local traditions. In the Monaco-Ville District, beneath the pine trees on the Place du Palais, try the Monegasque stockfish, a quintessential dish that you’ll also find in the colorful streets of the Old Town, at La Montgolfière. Continuing through the narrow streets, hidden treasure Club Bouliste du Rocher is the perfect place to relax in the shade on the restaurant’s terrace overlooking Port Hercule. For another very special local experience, head to Perles de Monte-Carlo at Port of Fontvieille, and enjoy their exceptional Monaco-raised selection of oysters. Beefbar Monaco

MICHELIN-STARRED EXPERIENCES
There are 12 Michelin-recognized restaurants in Monaco, no mean feat for a country that’s under four miles in radius. Start with Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo and its three Michelin stars, where Riviera-inspired cuisine marries the finest local produce with stunning vintages to be found in the hotel’s fabled wine cellars. On the eighth floor of the luxury hotel is another star, this one held by Le Grill, whose kitchens have been overseen by chef Franck Cerutti for over 20 years. Yannick Alléno à l’Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo blends the finest gastronomic dishes with healthy eating and well-being — “The best of the simple”— as the three Michelin-starred chef likes to say, on the restaurant’s terrace with unmatched panoramic views of Port Hercule and the Rock. On the other side of the Place du Casino, the Hôtel Métropole MonteCarlo’s Michelin-starred restaurant is hidden behind the entrance with its two majestic Roman-style columns. Yoshi is the place to be for lovers of Japanese cuisine, with maki, sashimi, fish, and meat prepared teppanyaki-style by chef Takeo Yamazaki, accompanied by the finest sakes, whiskies, or Japanese green teas. Culinary magnificence continues nearby at La Table d’Antonio Salvatore at the Rampoldi, which earned its first Michelin star in 2021 for its merging of classics and original and creative dishes. Down the famous hairpin bend on the Formula 1 circuit, the sea comes into view along the newly refurbished Larvotto Beach, at the far end of which stands the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort and the Blue Bay. There, chef Marcel Ravin weaves his culinary alchemy to blend Caribbean and Mediterranean flavors to exquisite effect. On the very edge of the principality is Monte-Carlo Beach, which opens every year for the summer season. Elsa, one of three restaurants at this timeless seaside location, is the first serving exclusively organically sourced food and wild-caught fish to be awarded a Michelin star. Other Michelinrecognized dining experiences include La Montgolfière-Henri Geraci, a family-run eatery on a small pedestrian street in Old Town;Song Qi, a swanky gourmet Chinese restaurant opposite Grimaldi Forum; Beefbar, a trendy “meat” bar that serves quality Wagyu, Black Angus, and more on the docks of Fontvieille Marina;and Maya Bay, a Japanese-and-Thai-specific experience.

TRAVEL
So what else is there to do in Monaco when you’re not indulging in gastronomic experiences, spending time at the spa, designer shopping, or suntanning? The answer is: quite a lot, actually. Visitors can tour the Palais du Prince (when the royal is not in residence, that is) and explore the lush Princess Grace Rose Garden or the Musée Oceanographique, one of the oldest aquariums in the world. Get your James Bond fix at the Casino de Monte Carlo, one of the most famous in the world thanks to its Beaux Arts–style marble atrium and onyx columns, which served as the setting and inspiration for 2006’s Casino Royale. And, of course, one should make it a mission to catch the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, a race through the streets of the city past Boulevard Albert I, that takes place each May.

the +Embracing Travel Comeback HotelPlanner centers its hotel reservation system in the gig economy. BY GABRIEL PESSOA
HOTELPLANNER IS A LEADING TRAVEL COMPANY THAT COMBINES PROPRIETARY ARTIFICIAL
intelligence with a global, gig economy-based concierge platform to create a hotel reservation system with a focus on group travel. Tim Hentschel, CEO of HotelPlanner, recently spoke with Haute Living about the company’s continued growth and its successful adaptation to uncertain times as the travel industry continues to recover.
Haute
Haute Living: Can you explain what it is that makes HotelPlanner so attractive to the group travel market? Tim Hentschel: We’ve been in business for 18 years. We are founder-owned and operated, and our co-founder and CIO John Prince runs our proprietary AI-enabled booking engine entirely in-house. Inherently, cutting-edge technology is behind everything we do. We like to combine high-tech with high-touch, and that is why we are superior in the area of group hotel bookings — all of the major online travel agencies (i.e., Expedia.com and Booking.com) use our services. In 2020, we also launched a first-of-its-kind gig economy call center with the same high-tech and high-touch concept in mind.
HL: Coming out of the pandemic, do you anticipate an industry shift where travel becomes an even larger part of our global culture? TH: I can tell you that the rebound has been very quick and very robust. The volume that we are seeing is huge, and the customers that we are getting are less price sensitive than I’ve ever seen in the 20-year history of selling hotel rooms online. It shows that there’s a strong desire for getting back out there on the road and in the sky. People want to treat themselves, so this return to travel has been dominated by leisure travelers; they are eagerly looking for new experiences, to live life again now that the pandemic is — more or less — behind us. HL: Your company more than doubled its revenue recently. To what would you attribute this success? TH: I think it’s a combination of the demand for localized service through our gig-based travel agent concierge platform, as well as the high demand from the travel industry with everyone wanting to get back out there and travel again. So really, we’ve got two very positive tailwinds going for us right now.

HL: Your company has shown a lot of foresight and resourcefulness with taking advantage of the gig economy. How much would you say resourcefulness aligns with your company’s vision? TH: Quite a bit. Obviously, COVID-19 has been very hard on the travel industry, so our pivot made sense because the gig economy allows us to provide localized and customized service. This is important because during COVID, people had a lot of questions about local protocols, which hotels were still operating and to what capacity, and what regulations these hotels were operating under. As we come out of COVID and travel rebounds strongly, the demand for personalized service [will keep] increasing. We currently have about 3,500 gig economy travel agents, so it’s clear that people really like the service.

HAUTE LIVING AND HAUTE WINE SOCIETY CAPPED SOBEWFF 2022 with a celebration of Haute Wine & Spirits cover star, Dwyane Wade, founder of D Wade Cellars and one of the NBA’s 75 ranked greatest players of all time.

Haute Media Group publisher and CEO Kamal Hotchandani thanked Wade as he introduced him, and emphasized how much he meant to the Magic City. Wade, in turn, said he was happy to be back and pointed out that the evening should be about having fun and drinking some exceptional wine. The dinner, which was paired with Three By Wade wines and included Samuelsson’s famous fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, and mac ‘n’ cheese, ended with a dessert lit with sparklers. As the evening — which was presented by private aviation company XO Jet and Italian brand Pedini Miami — progressed, celebrity guests popped in and out, including Heat player Udonis Haslem, legendary boxer Lennox Lewis, Haute Living Miami ambassador Radmila Lolly, and Bank of America’s executive vice chairman of Global Corporate and Investment Banking John Utendahl. 7

for an unforgettable brunch during SOBEWFF. The masterminds behind Carbone and ZZ’s have added a third restaurant to their hospitality enterprise. Thanks to renowned Israeli chef, Eyal Shani, HaSalon offers guests an opportunity to experience a sampling of the finest Mediterranean cuisines in the world. The Israeli restaurant, owned by Major Food Group (MFG), is located in the space where the iconic China Grill once stood in Miami Beach. And despite its origins in Tel Aviv, HaSalon has undoubtedly proven it was made for the Magic City. The restaurant’s exceptional cuisine was on full display at the exclusive brunch hosted by HaSalon and Haute Living on a Saturday during SOBEWFF. The event was held, in part, to benefit the FIU School of Hospitality. Leaders and experts from the Haute Living network such as Weston Finn, Sandra Fiorenza, Gio and Roberta Ingletto, and several others were in attendance for the fun-filled afternoon. In fact, Haute Media Group co-owners, Kamal Hotchandani and Seth Semilof, were also there to enjoy the occasion, along with Senior VP April Donelson and Editor-in-Chief Laura Schreffler.
