IT’S OUR ANNUAL FASHION ISSUE AGAIN! MY EDITOR TERESA AND I made our New York Fashion Week trip on February 9 through 14 and got a lot of fashionable articles. To start, we visited the atelier and showroom of Naeem Kahn and had a great exclusive interview with him for our cover story. Teresa also attended his fabulous fashion show on February 14. We hung out with and interviewed 27-year-old designer Andrew Kwon at the exquisite Baccarat Hotel. He booked the whole hotel for his fashion show. We attended the amazing, 45-outfit Carolina Herrera show, toured her atelier, attended the VIP reception, and chatted with young artistic director Wes Gordon of Herrera fashion brand.

In addition, we feature Louis Vuitton’s 2023 Spring/Summer Collection of women’s fashion (pages 58-67) and introduce Christian Dior’s New Lady 95.22, a renaissance of the classic Lady Dior bag almost three decades after its debut (pages 74-83). We also interviewed three of the Bay Area’s style mavens who offered stylish advice. There are a designer shopping guide and articles on fashionable hotels.

For Haute Events, we cover the San Francisco Ballet’s Gala which opened the company’s 2023 season on February 19. We report the exclusive Breakfast at Tiffany’s Experience generously donated by Tiffany & Co. to the San Francisco Opera Guild’s annual fashion show fundraising auction. I was the winning bidder and enjoyed this unique event with 10 of my New York friends. We also share with you the romantic Valentine’s Day concert with Italian tenor Pasquale Esposito. The concert was presented by the Olivia Decker Power of Music Series with Festival Napa Valley.

Please don’t miss reading our ambassador articles on luxury cars, health and wellness, beauty and skincare, and fashion icons. This is a glamorous and fashionable issue that you will want to read from cover to cover. The only sad news in this issue is the passing of my mother on February 28. She was a stylish woman who lived to nearly 100 years old (my memoriam on page 119). Her death reminds me to live every day to the fullest, as we only live once!

TERESA RODRIGUEZ EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Five years ago this month, Olivia and I went to dinner to discuss the future of Haute Living, San Francisco. Olivia envisioned reviving the national brand in Northern California to showcase the luxury lifestyle while focusing on the community, charities, and change-makers. I was honored that she chose me to join her on this journey of thousands of words. Ironically, there’s an inside joke in the publishing industry: “Working for a magazine is like being Sisyphus.” Let me refresh your Greek Mythology 101. Sisyphus is the guy who pushes a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down. Then he gets to do it again and again for eternity. That’s the nature of the magazine industry. The moment we get a magazine on the press, we’re rolling another boulder up the editorial hill. I’ve spent nearly two decades working for magazines and wouldn’t have it any other way. For every issue, we get to dream, discover, brainstorm, and create content that will inspire you.

Regarding inspiration, Olivia and I were about to return to New York City for Fashion Week. We haven’t been since COVID-19, so it was wonderful to reconnect with our friends in the fashion industry. One of our highlights was spending time with iconic designer Naeem Khan. He is an international sensation, an extraordinary designer, and a fascinating gentleman. We spent an afternoon with him in his atelier 48 hours before his fashion show, and it was a testament to what a generous and insightful person he is. You can read all about Naeem Khan in our cover story on page 28.

Another highlight of Fashion Week was my interview with up-and-coming fashion designer Andrew Kwon, thanks to Vicki Winston Maloney, a personal stylist at Neiman Marcus. We met at the famed Baccarat Hotel. I’m excited to watch his rise in the fashion world, and I feel so lucky to have an exclusive with him (page 36).

While I adore fashion, my heart beats for books, and authors are the blood that runs through my academic veins. So, when I got the rare opportunity to interview some of my favorite bestselling authors, I was overjoyed. You can read about their lives and latest book projects on page 40.

Planning on traveling and want more fashion? On page 68, Laurie Jo Miller Farr shares the best upcoming fashion-related museum exhibitions worldwide. Becca Hensley takes us on a tour of the spectacular Baccarat Hotel, a hot activity spot during Fashion Week (page 54). Finally, for some delicious dining in San Francisco, join Fran Miller as she dines at Ernest, the elevated-casual restaurant from star chef Brandon Rice (page 22).
