Welcome to Worth Avenue It is my pleasure to welcome you to Worth Avenue, one of the most well-known shopping areas in the world, with a rich history and a vibrant energy all its own. Worth Avenue has always been more than a destination; it is an experience. Beyond the classic architecture and tropical charm is a sense of place—a relaxed and elegant oceanfront enclave that offers the best in shopping and dining—and a distinctive sense of community. It’s a place that mixes a walk on the beach with a walk down our Avenue, redesigned two years ago with casual strolling in mind. It’s a cool drink in a shady via, or a few minutes catching up with friends on the street. It’s a shopping experience that puts the personal back into customer service, with one-on-one assistance from friendly shopkeepers, personal hand deliveries to your house or hotel, after-hours help and the kind of attention that is rarely found in stores these days. Most of all, it’s a legacy of service that has been transformed by a new generation dedicated to making shopping on Worth Avenue easy, relaxed and hassle-free. In this day and time it’s easy to secure products online, to visit multistoried malls and discount stores for one-stop shopping—but none of these options offers the charm and leisure and sense of discovery that Worth Avenue does; none of these options captures the spirit of an elegant getaway complemented by genuinely warm customer service. I invite you to rediscover the new Worth Avenue—and indulge in the simple luxury of the most beautiful and dynamic shopping street in the country. I promise it will be an experience you will enjoy, and that will draw you back again and again. Sincerely,

Gregg S. Beletsky

Parking is Plentiful. Historic Worth Avenue is a street of dreams, and parking is a breeze. Valet parking is available at the Apollo parking lot, just north of Worth Avenue, off Hibiscus Avenue, as well as at the parking garage, at 150 Worth Ave., just across from the beach. Plentiful two-hour parking spaces are available on Worth Avenue itself, and two-hour metered parking can be found on Peruvian Avenue (one block north of Worth Avenue). But there’s still another way we try to make shopping on the Avenue easy for our guests: When making a purchase at one of the Worth Avenue Association member stores, ask about your parking validation stamp. It’s just another way of saying, “Thank you for shopping with us.” Please visit our website, worth-avenue.com, for our calendar of events, merchandise and news!

Island Notes Your tip sheet to Palm Beach highlights and good times

Daycations For visitors, living in Palm Beach can seem like a perpetual vacation. But for locals, the realities of life (work, bills, family, etc.) quickly relegate palm trees and beaches to an everyday backdrop. So what happens when locals get the tourist bug and want to “get away,” even for just one day? Here’s a look at some “daycation” options to help you relax, unwind and spend the day pretending you are on vacation. [ ] At The Breakers (1 S.

A Window Into the Good Old Days Worth Avenue offers a marvelous window into its own history. It all began as a swamp, where people paid 25 cents to go on jungle tours to see Florida vegetation, and an extra 25 cents to watch Alligator Joe wrestle with prehistoric-like gators on what would become the grounds of the Everglades Club today. [ ] AddIsON MIzNER created the Avenue, using some of the same principles put forth today by the duany Plater-zybeck “New Urbanism” model. Residential and commercial spaces were partnered in a mixed-use format of architectural styles and hand-crafted materials to establish the unique Palm Beach look that included winding vias, exuberant foliage and quirky little details.

The path between The Colony and Ta-boó was well-worn, carrying the happy revelers to and fro, passing shops like B C Bannister’s, where salvatore Ferragamo is now, and “stinky” stinchfield’s emporium of men’s dapper fashions.

[ ] By THE 1970s, Worth Avenue was a street of local businesses—places like Vivien’s Tops & Bottoms near Via Amore today and Bagatelle, where Badgeley Mishka is now. you could catch the shop girls scooting out to either Angelinda’s Coffee House (near Chopard’s) or the dutch Treat (410 south County) for coffee and sodas.

Palm Beach Landmarks The Avenue Worth Avenue started as a retail extension to the Everglades Club, famous in its day for popular luncheon fashion shows. The street evolved over decades into what is today arguably the most elegant shopping street in the country, with more than 200 stores. Worth Avenue offers couture fashion, designer jewelry, unique gifts, art, antiques, fine dining and home furnishings, all in an atmosphere that is both gracious and tropical. From charming vias, with their fountains and statuary, to Gothic arcades and bougainvilleasmothered archways, Worth Avenue is more than shopping—it is an experience.

WhiTehAll The 60,000-square-foot Gilded Age mansion, built by Henry Flagler as a gift for his wife, Mary Lily Kenan, in 1902, is one of the island’s

most popular attractions. The Flaglers frequently entertained at this winter home until Henry’s death in 1913. Now a museum, Whitehall is noteworthy for its grand entranceways and public rooms with elaborate chandeliers and gilded moldings. We also love the extensive lace collection and permanent exhibit on Flagler’s life and the greater picture it paints of turn-of-thecentury America.

grandeur of the original, and it was inspired by some of the best examples of Italian Renaissance architecture. Just as it did in the early days when it was the winter holiday home for Rockefellers, Vanderbilts and European nobility, the resort today continues to draw a veritable who’s who of high society. Mar-a-Lago

MAr-A-lAgo Breakfast cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post spared no expense in the 1920s to create this landmark Palm Beach mansion with its more than 100 rooms. Architect Joseph Urban designed the 17-acre estate, complete with a nine-hole golf course, lakeside cottages, a 75-foot tower, citrus groves, greenhouses, pool and an underground tunnel to the beach. However, what really makes Mar-a-Lago stand out is its longstanding traditions, which Post began by hosting the world’s elite there for the International Red Cross Ball. Today, after its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1980, and Donald Trump’s acquisition of the property in 1985, Mar-a-Lago has enjoyed an incarnation as one of Palm Beach’s most exclusive private clubs—and the ongoing location for the esteemed Red Cross Ball.

Whether you opt for boot camp or bikram yoga, there are ways to stay balanced, healthy and full of energy. Here are a few of our favorite options.

Quick Fixes Whether you are just visiting or here all season, Victor Perez-Ayala of Victorious Fitness (561/412-9379) will create a fitness program that allows you to enjoy all the indulgences Palm Beach has to offer without feeling guilty.

Here are some of his suggestions for quick exercises and stretches you can do anywhere, created exclusively for Worth Avenue readers: After a long day of shopping on Worth Avenue:

Three easy exercises for before a night out or after a long flight:

Basic chair dip: Tones the triceps and sculpts shoulders and abs. Place both hands on the edge of the chair and face outward. Plant feet firmly on the floor, squeeze abs and push up with your arms, then slowly lower your butt as far as possible, bending at the elbows and quickly pressing the arms back to the start position. Repeat 10-20 reps for three sets.

After a day at the spa:

seated aBs crunches: Works the abs, upper legs and hips. Sit in a chair and keep both feet firmly close together on the floor, squeezing your core and thighs. Then lift your knees up and together, then back down to the floor. You can grip the chair for support while raising knees off the floor. Do 10-20 reps for three sets.

Do a downward dog yoga stretch with heels pressed deep into the floor and take nice, deep breaths. Hands should be flat on the floor. Then switch to upward dog by forming a plank, and then slowly bring your body to the floor. With palms down at the sides of your waist, on the inhale, push away from the floor with your hands

standing calf raise: Tones legs and glutes. Stand with both arms straight out with your shoulders back and raise your heels off the floor, using your body weight as you lower your heels back to the ground. Make sure the abs are engaged. Do 25-30 reps for three sets.

Try to touch your toes to release the lactic acid stored in the legs. Hold for 20 seconds, then put both hands upward toward the sky for another 20 seconds to stretch the abdominal muscles. Repeat three-to-four times.

Zumba is taking over the world, and Palm Beach is no exception. The fun cardio class is packed with easy-to-follow dance moves like salsa, cha-cha, meringue and more. But you don’t have to know any steps before joining the party loved by everyone from 80-year-old grandmothers to 8-year-old children. (They even have special classes for kids and seniors). Created in Colombia by Alberto “Beto” Perez, Zumba came to the U.S. in 2001 and now has more than 110,000 locations in 125 countries.

Paradise of Gems

Known worldwide for gemstone-rich jewelry that exudes fun and luxury, tamara comolli has arrived on worth avenue, ready to capture the local spirit with her exclusive palm Beach collection Tamara Comolli’s colored gemstones arranged on 18-karat gold and, sometimes, suspended by leather, tell stories of paradises far and wide. With destination stores in South Hampton, Lake Tegernsee and Sylt, Worth Avenue seemed the perfect complement, according to brand owner Comolli. “Palm Beach is exclusive; it’s where everybody dreams to be,” Comolli says. The Italian-made brand launched 20 years ago, bursting onto the fine jewelry scene in fashion centers in the U.S. and around the world. To this day, Comolli travels to Asia, India, South America, Australia and other areas of the globe to source the gemstones she uses. “Name a gemstone, and we have it in the collection. We offer such amazing stones as Ocean Jasper and white opals from Australia,” she says. But don’t expect stuffy or chic when you walk into the Worth Avenue store.

Rather, Tamara Comolli’s world is beachy—a casual, fun environment with whitewashed woods on the walls and jewelry that clients touch, try on and play with, according to Comolli. To break the ice, Comolli features her signature colorful cashmere scarves and bejeweled flip-flops. For the launch of the Palm Beach store, Tamara Comolli has created an exclusive Color Story, just for Palm Beach, using soft rays of pastel chalcedony gems. “We have more than 30 color combinations in the brand, including the Color Story Wild Berry, which features rose gold, pink tourmalines, amethysts and more. Our summer color story is called Breeze, and emphasizes blue, white and turquoise. For Palm Beach, the Color Story is all about sophisticated pastels,” she says. The focus of the collection is on high-end, one-of-a-kind pieces. Palm Beachers will discover incredibly rare gemstones reserved for the 2012-13 season. To name one such treasure: Paraiba tourmalines—turquoise-colored gems unearthed in remote areas of Brazil. These collectors’ gems are rarer than diamonds, and often more expensive. As for diamonds, they, too, are part of the collection, according to Comolli.

Vilebrequin makes a splash with its 2013 collection Vilebrequin Artistic Director Isabel “Zaza” de Brito’s recent voyage to the Pacific Islands inspired the 2013 Spring-Summer Collection “Pacific Journey.” As de Brito describes her trip: “Imagine exclusive postcard-like landscapes, emerald green lagoons, white coral beaches and coconut trees, blooming plants in an array of colors, a bounty of hibiscus and Tiare flowers, fresh fish and grated coconut accompanied by ukulele music at sunset.” Featuring vibrant blues, warm oranges and brilliant turquoise, the collection captures the Pacific’s essence, with designs of stingrays, jellyfish, geckos, humpback whales, black-tip sharks and more. Limited edition like no other For the first time in Palm Beach, Vilebrequin will showcase its VIP limited-edition MISTRAL swim collection. These all-over embroidered swim trunks are a first in the fashion industry. Skilled embroiderists create each piece in France, using the highest-quality yarns to ensure durability and comfort. The final touch: sterling silver drawstring tips. “Stitching layers and angling produce a 3-D effect, so the embroidery appears raised,” says Karen Young, Vilebrequin’s director of retail. “Palm Beach clients will appreciate that each limited edition is numbered in a series. This truly is collector swimwear.” Vilebrequin also offers an exquisite resort wear collection—a favorite for Palm Beach clientele.

Watch Out!

Pre-owned time Pieces and vibrant jewelry collections are keePing things fresh at betteridge Watch lovers will revel in the vast new collection of pre-owned watches at Worth Avenue’s jewelry icon, Betteridge. From complicated movement and collection timepieces including the classics Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Consantin, to the ultra-modern collections such as Panerai, Cartier and Rolex, high-end pre-owned watches offer outstanding value, quality and collectibility. “Our store in Connecticut is one of the biggest Patek dealers in the country, while Palm Beach has long been a leader in estate jewelry sales. Now we will have the best of both worlds here on the Avenue,” says Betteridge Store Manager Inez Fogel Heery. “The gentlemen especially love to collect and trade their watches,” Fogel Heery says. “They know that an identical new watch is many thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars more than pre-owned.” And trending in jewelry at Betteridge? Color and combinations of color are the jewelry trends this year. “Of course we carry the classic diamonds, gemstones and pearls but we find more and more that vibrant color like rubelite, fire opal and tsavorite are increasingly valued,” claims Fogel Heery. Among those designers leading the color revolution: Mark Davis with his new inlaid collection, Nicholas Varney’s spin on Art Deco, color pioneer Verdura, Goshwara, Dorota and Paolo Costagli.

Abby Patni was working with famous designers and traveling the world to find one-of-akind diamonds and precious stones when he decided to showcase the finest names in the art and jewelry worlds in one location. That location, he says, could only be Worth Avenue. “We opened in 2009. What better place to mix one-of-a-kind, award-winning jewelry and art pieces?” Patni says. A.R.T.’s featured jewelry pieces are expressions of art, often handcrafted by designers in their U.S. studios. Award-winning jewelry designs featured in A.R.T. include Christopher Walling, Loree Rodkin, Sylva & Cie, Ashok Sancheti and many more. A.R.T. is the exclusive authorized dealer of Jacob and Co. watches in Palm Beach. And for the 2012-’13 season, A.R.T. has announced jewelry trunk shows for Chrisopher Walling, Loree Rodkin, La Reina and Ashok Sancheti. A.R.T. also hosts art exhibits throughout the year. “The various artists we feature are carefully curated by Jane Holzer, known in the art world for her great collections and discerning eye,” Patni says. “She has vast collections by Andy Warhol, Claude Lalanne, Mattia Bonetti and others. Ours are discerning customers in search of unique pieces, which express their individuality.”

Today’s Roberta Roller Rabbit captures carefree, resort-style living, in signature hand-block printed kurtas, as well as more expanded men’s, women’s and children’s clothing lines, accessories and home furnishings. With stores on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the Hamptons, Newport Beach and other exclusive shopping destinations, Freymann says the brand’s Worth Avenue store has its own style. “Worth Avenue’s Roberta Roller Rabbit also features the Roberta Freymann collection. Sophisticated city women appreciate the Roberta Freymann line, which takes a more bohochic approach and is inspired by my global travels,” Freymann says. Roberta Roller Rabbit customers become immersed in the Worth Avenue store’s delightful world of colors, prints and textures. For the 2012-13 season, Roberta Roller Rabbit will offer popular staples, including the floral Amanda and graphic Big Cata prints, as well as new Moroccan tile-inspired designs and neon graphic prints. “It’s all about color!” Freymann says.

For Your Eyes…Only

EyEwEar visionary Edward BEinEr’s worth avEnuE storE fEaturEs dEsignEr EyEglass framEs you won’t sEE in most placEs Edward Beiner makes searching for elite eyewear a passion. He travels near and far— taking several trips a year to frame designers in Europe, Asia and elsewhere. While there, he witnesses the making of the frames and handpicks collections tailor-made for his high-end Florida clientele. With 11 Edward Beiner stores in Florida shopping destinations from Coral Gables and Naples to famed Worth Avenue, Beiner says he understands the market. “Worth Avenue and Palm Beach are key locations when it comes to luxury items,” he says. “People understand quality, are well-traveled and shun the mass market.” Among the store’s featured lines: Dita, Chanel, Chopard, Francis Klein, Oliver Peoples and IC Berlin. “We often bring our customer early design releases, so they can purchase eyewear before it hits the U.S. marketplace,” he says. Specializing in sunglasses and prescription eyewear, Beiner also designs his signature brand. “Edward Beiner frames reflect Florida’s environment, with the use of tropical colors – blues and greens,” he says. “We are one of the few designers in eyewear left in the U.S.” The Worth Avenue location starts the new season with a new look. The store has been completely renovated. Worth Avenue customers, Beiner says, will enjoy the contemporary, casual, elegant look of the store, which creates the proper environment to showcase the frame collections.

Palm Beach Life according to island culture has its own set of quirky traditions—and colorful history. By LaureL Baker

T

here’s more to Palm Beach than black-tie balls and mega-mansions, movie stars and expensive cars. Palm Beach has long had a real sense of community and a culture that has evolved since its incarnation in the 1920s from a tiny resort to a small town with real style. Discover the island on its own terms, through a long bike ride, a walking tour or a weekend at one of its historic hotels. And you can begin that process right here.

Year-round vs. Snowbirds

The first thing that defines Palm Beach is its people—the captains of industry, the social divas, the occasional rock star, the dowagers who remember when. But the biggest distinction may be between the year-rounders, the “Townies,” and their seasonal “snowbird” counterparts.

DiD You know? Palm Beach is brimming with urban legends, but these are some quirky facts that you may not know about this little island in the sun.

[ ] TWO PAlM BEACH BUildiNgs, The Breakers and the Biltmore, then known as the Hotel Alba, served as hospitals during World War ii. [ ] iN THE 1920s, there was a “dress censor” employed on the beach at The Breakers to ensure propriety in attire—no skin showing and dark stockings, please.

[ ] THE BilTMORE, a grand hotel converted to condos in the 1970s, once housed exclusive shops near the Beaux Arts Fashion Center complex, which was the shopping center of the day. Nearby, between sunrise and Atlantic avenues, is Palm Beach’s own “greenwich Village,” simple wood-frame houses recalling a bygone era but filled with young, artistic talent that thrives on the upbeat tempo of the Poinciana district. [ ] THE HOUsEs ON Hi-MOUNT ROAd are built on what is known as the coral cut, north of Country Club drive, which has an iron grate in the wall. schoolchildren have long believed that this is where a witch lives, and generations have ridden bikes past the dark grate, hoping to avoid the gnarly hand ready to snatch them into the darkness, never to be seen again. [ ] AN 1897 HOUsE called “The Vicarage” at 475 N. lake Way captures the elegance of the ages while functioning as a reflection of Palm Beach’s style. Once home to Bethesda’s vicar, it was famously known for its swashbuckling owner, douglas Fairbanks Jr. [ ] All THAT is lEFT at the northernmost end of the island is a broad dock, once home to Annie’s Tackle shop and dock. Torn down in the early 1980s, it was a mainstay for boaters and residents alike. With its long pier and a good supply of beer, beverages, snacks, hamburgers and bait, Annie’s was always busy. And if you needed your catch of the day filleted, Annie was on hand for the task.

Legends & Legacies

The story of Palm Beach features a colorful cast of characters, from land barons and lovers to ladies who lunch.

F

rom the beginning, Palm Beach was the province of dreamers and builders, tycoons and gamblers. And over the years, the island has continued to attract a colorful cast of characters, from a man with visions of paradise to a woman who painted a room in gold. Here are a few of the faces—and places—that have made Palm Beach what it is.

Founders & Dreamers HENRY FLAGLER

Henry Flagler is the Standard Oil tycoon, credited with bringing the world to Florida via the railroad he built and “creating” Palm Beach when he opened the Royal Poinciana Hotel in the winter of 1894, claiming the island as the country’s premier winter resort. He next built the Palm Beach Inn, which opened in 1896 and later became known as The Breakers. It burned down twice, in 1903 and 1925. In 1926, the edifice was rebuilt, and it still stands today, one of the most beautiful and famous resorts in the world—and still owned by the Flagler family. Flagler’s beloved mansion “Whitehall,” which he built in 1901 for his wife, Mary Lily Kenan, was sold by his heirs in 1925 and

88

WWW.WORTH-AVENUE.COM

used as an elegant hotel residence. In 1959, Jean Flagler Matthews purchased the property, acquired many of the mansion’s original furnishings and opened it as the Flagler Museum off Cocoanut Row.

ADDISON MIZNER Addison Mizner, a talented architect who designed some of New York’s most notable mansions, was somewhat of a roustabout who made his way to Palm Beach in 1918 and connected with Paris Singer, heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune. Mizner was passionate about recreating the distinctive Moorish-Mediterranean-style architecture he had seen on his travels to Central America and Europe, and he wasted little time picking up where Flagler left off. First came the Everglades Club, a decidedly bold statement that set the pace for subsequent design. His first commission to build an oceanfront house resulted in El Mirasol (The Sunflower), home of self-made Philadelphia financier and stock market icon Edward T. Stotesbury and his wife, Eva, Palm Beach’s most notable family of the time. Mizner went on to build equally grand estates for some of the island’s most influential residents, including the Phipps and the Vanderbilts. He died in 1933.


DID YOu KnOW?

COL. EDWARD R. BRADLEY Bradley, who owned stables in Kentucky, was also the owner of the “world’s most exclusive” gambling establishment in Palm Beach, Bradley’s Beach Club, which was the hottest ticket in town from its inception in 1898 until it closed in 1945. Col. Bradley asked that his patrons wear evening clothes and did not allow smoking in the ballroom.

MARJORIE MERRIWEATHER POST Marjorie Merriweather Post was an enterprising breakfast-cereal heiress who spent $8 million in the 1920s to create Mar-a-Lago—a 17-acre estate with a 100-plus-room mansion complete with a 75-foot tower (the island’s tallest), lakeside cottages, nine-hole golf course, citrus groves, greenhouses, pool and an underground tunnel to the beach. Post would fly in diplomats from around the world to attend The Red Cross Ball at Mar-a-Lago. Along with later “queens of Palm Beach” like Sue Whitmore (Listerine heiress) and Mary Sanford (Bigelow-Sanford Carpet Company), Post was the social arbiter of her day and one of the first grande dames of society in Palm Beach.

Clockwise, from opposite page: Mar-aLago, Bradley’s Beach Club, Henry Flagler being ferried about at The Breakers and below, with Mary Lily Kenan, square dancing at Mara-Lago, Col. Bradley, Marjorie Merriweather Post, and Addison Mizner and friends.

Mizner built shops and apartments along Worth Avenue. In 1925 and 1926 he created Via Mizner and Via Parigi, two of the eight charming side streets that would come to define this world-famous street’s special charm.

Business Tycoons DONALD TRUMP The brash entrepreneur stirred things up in Palm Beach in 1986 when he bought the aging dinosaur Mar-a-Lago for a mere $7 million ($5 million for the residence and $2 million for the furnishings). There was talk at the outset of subdividing the property and more than a little resentment directed at the showy New Yorker who did not appear to be acquainted with Palm Beach protocol. However, Trump managed to win over most of his critics when he pulled off a painstaking renovation and enhancement of the historic landmark, transforming Palm Beach’s largest home (55,695 square feet) into a private club that he opened in 1995—reviving the tradition of one of the most envied guest lists in town.

ESTÉE LAUDER The late Lauder was a fixture in Palm Beach, and her former house near Worth Avenue is still somewhat of a landmark. She was best known as a self-made cosmetics and skin cream magnate, founding the Estée Lauder company in 1935. In 1953, Lauder introduced her first fragrance, Youth Dew, a bath oil that doubled as a perfume, and the company enjoyed a whole new level of success. Lauder became an icon in the cosmetics and perfume industries, and the family business she founded still thrives today.

THE KOCH BROTHERS Industrialist David Koch, 70, and his twin brother William, an investor and oilman, are well-known Palm Beach magnates. David is known these days for his libertarian/Tea Party politics, while Willlam gained fame as winner of the America’s Cup. Both are affiliated with Koch Industries, the secondlargest privately held company in the country, with interests ranging from refineries to Brawny paper towels and Dixie cups. Both men are on the Forbes billionaire’s list. (see sidebar)

STEVEN SCHWARZMAN Co-founder and CEO of the Blackstone Group (with $190 billion in assets under management), a private equity firm he co-founded with former Lehman Brothers CEO and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Peter Peterson, Schwarzman has been called “the King of Wall Street” and “the smartest guy in the room.” In 2007, he was named one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People.” In 2008, Schwarzman announced a $100 million donation to the New York Public Library, whose main Fifth Avenue branch has since been named after him. A Wall Street Journal article once reported that employees in his 11,000-square-foot Palm Beach residence were told not to wear rubber-soled shoes to eliminate unseemly squeaking noises.


DID YOU KNOW? The Kennedys’ Palm Beach compound was sold in 1995 for $4.9 million.

Island Icons THE KENNEDYS John Fitzgerald Kennedy and other members of the large Kennedy clan were the “first family” of Palm Beach, from the time of JFK’s presidency— when their Palm Beach compound at 1095 N. Ocean Blvd. was known as the Winter White House—to the scandalous Kennedy Smith rape case in 1991. Joseph P. Kennedy bought the Mizner-designed house in 1933 and hosted many fond memories for the Kennedy clan. It was where the family celebrated Jack’s 1960 presidential win, and where they spent many winter vacations. The Kennedys went to Sunday mass at St. Edwards Catholic Church, and Teddy and Rose were photographed shopping on Worth Avenue. When Joe Kennedy died in 1969, Teddy took over the estate. By the 1970s and 1980s, Rose Kennedy’s visits became infrequent, and the house began its long downhill slide. By 1991, when Patrick Kennedy Smith was accused of rape at the compound, the days of the dynasty were over.

DUKE AND DUCHESS OF WINDSOR Perhaps the most famous royal couple to make the island home was the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, who spent months at the Colony Hotel back in the day—and were notorious as freeloaders. In more recent times, the island regularly entertained members of Great Britain’s royal family; visits from Princess Diana are warmly recalled. There are many people who live or have lived in Palm Beach who are or claim to be royalty. These include gallery owner

First row: Donald Trump, David and Bill Koch, Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Rose and Joe Kennedy. Second row: Steven Schwarzman, the Kennedys, George Hamilton and Estée Lauder

Prince Monyo Mihailescu-Nasturel, who claims to be descended from three Romanian kings, and designer Sybil de Bourbon Parme, a descendent of the Bourbons who reigned over France until Louis XVI claimed the throne and whose maternal grandmother was the Princess of Denmark. The late Palm Beach mayor Paul Ilyinsky was a Romanov (see “I”), and antiques dealer Baron Frederick von der Trenck descended from Bavarian nobility.

GEORGE HAMILTON The son of society bandleader George “Spike” Hamilton (who also helped develop White Shoulders perfume) and Anne Stevens Potter Hamilton Hunt Spalding, the tan man is synonymous with the white-dinner-jacket charm of the privileged Palm Beach social scene. He spent part of his boyhood in Palm Beach and won an award for “Best Actor” in a Palm Beach High School contest.

LILLY PULITZER Lilly Pulitzer blazed her trail in the 1960s with a high-profile marriage (and divorce) from Peter Pulitzer (yes, that Pulitzer). Her star, however, is more firmly affixed to her line of colorfully designed cotton print dresses, slacks, shorts and skirts. Pulitzer’s clothes became an instant hit as ladies from Palm Beach to the Hamptons began sporting her signature togs. In 1995, Pulitzer’s line was introduced to a new crop of Palm Beachers in a nostalgic re-launch that has become wildly successful over the past decade. WORTH AVENUE

Buffett is a successful businessman and an icon of American music. He is claimed by South Floridians as one of their own through his chronicling of the island lifestyle, Key West and A1A—all benchmarks of a state of mind that adds up to something called Margaritaville. Together with his Coral Reefer Band, Buffett has recorded hit songs including “Margaritaville” (ranked 234th on the Recording Industry Association of America’s list of “Songs of the Century”) and “Havaña Daydreamin’.” He has a devoted base of fans known as “Parrotheads.” Buffett is also a best-selling writer and is involved in restaurant chains named after two of his best-known songs, “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and “Margaritaville.” He has kept a house in Palm Beach for years.

Landmarks EVERGLADES CLuB

Worth Avenue now boasts more than 200 shops, offering everything from gifts, worldclass designer jewelry, clothing and shoes to internationally acclaimed paintings and antiques. Among the oldest retailers on Worth Avenue are Kassatly’s Linens (1926) and Greenleaf & Crosby (1933).

This is arguably the most exclusive—and oldest—club in Palm Beach, built in 1918 by Addison Mizner.

SoCiETy oF THE FouR ARTS This revered nonprofit cultural organization was founded in 1936 to fill the cultural gap on the island. It is housed in a building designed by Maurice Fatio and has a gallery, a concert hall, a library and a sculpture garden. The Four Arts presents high-profile speakers, concerts, films and art exhibits. There is a perpetual waiting list for memberships.

woRTH AVEnuE Worth Avenue is arguably the most exclusive shopping district in the world, and the commercial heartbeat of Palm Beach. Its growth was an indirect offshoot of The Everglades Club, which set the tone early on for the prestige this strip of real estate would eventually command. By 1923, tenant disputes over rising rents at the then-fashionable Beaux Arts Building on Lake Trail, just north of the Biltmore Hotel, prompted merchants to flock south. The Everglades Club’s weekly luncheon fashion shows served as a launch pad for designers like Valentino, Blass, Givenchy, Madam Greis and Pauline Trigère—the beginning of Worth Avenue’s rich fashion history. In 1938, the Worth Avenue Association was formed, incorporating in 1961. WORTH AVENUE

Dream Catchers

Paradise hasn’t come easy for the creators of the Palm Beach style. It has required the genius of several architectural innovators and the creativity of countless restorative artists to ensure that the homes, businesses and cultural institutions of our island remain the architectural envy of southern Florida. Here’s a look at eight of the most important designers. By John Thomason

archiTecT: maurice Fatio signaTure sTyle: Swiss immigrant Fatio arrived in America via Ellis Island and settled in Palm Beach in 1923, where he would design more than 200 buildings over the next 20 years. He possessed an expansive, harmonious style rife with arcades, patios, loggias and courtyards, offered with an impeccable sense of symmetry. While many architects from the era favored more modern, man-made elements such as steel and glass, Fatio employed quarry stones from the Florida Keys, prizing their earthiness. Key Buildings: The Casa Della Porta, the First National Bank of Palm Beach, the Il Palmetto, the original Society of the Four Arts edifice and the private homes of Joseph P.

Kennedy, E.F. Hutton, William Randolph Hearst and five Vanderbilts. Fun FacT: According to Maurice Fatio: Palm Beach Architect—art historian Kim I. Mockler’s excellent 2010 coffee-table book— Fatio joined the Office of Strategic Services, America’s wartime intelligence division, in 1943. He worked under a code name, collecting strategic information for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, from the Swiss desk of the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. Illness would take his life before the end of year, but General William J. Donovan, head of the OSS, said that “no man had achieved so magnificent a record in their organization” as Fatio had.

Marion Sims Wyeth

Architect: howard brougham Major SignAture Style: A New York transplant who had made his architectural name in the Northeast, Major arrived in Palm Beach in 1925 as an outspoken critic of Addison Mizner’s sacrosanct Mediterranean style. He espoused Greek Revival and Bermuda-style architecture as more suitable for Florida’s climate. That said, he was remarkably pliable to his clients’ needs, designing buildings in the Mediterranean Revival, Tudor and Japanese styles. Key buildingS: The Vicarage in Palm Beach and six Bermuda-style row houses in a Peruvian Avenue enclave now known as Major Alley. Fun FAct: Major was so vehemently opposed to the United States adopting the Mediterranean style as its own that he published an eight-article series for the Palm Beach Post critiquing the style. The articles were written to “prod his cohorts into better design,” according to Palm Beach architect Gene Pandula, in an interview with the Post in 2011. “He wanted architectural restraint.” Howard Brougham Major

Architect: Marion Sims Wyeth SignAture Style: The offspring of a pioneering legacy of doctors, Wyeth was a more conservative architect than Mizner or Urban, cementing his legacy in the graceful delicacy of his patios. Wyeth put his “emphasis on quiet beauty,” according to Polly Ann Earl, former executive director of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, in her book Palm Beach: An Architectural Legacy. Wyeth designed more than 35 homes on Palm Beach’s roster of landmark buildings. Key buildingS: Mar-a-lago (completed with Joseph Urban), the Norton Museum of Art, Doris Duke’s Shangri-La in Hawaii, the Governor’s Mansion in Tallahassee Fun FAct: Wyeth was the first Palm Beach architect to be inducted into the American Institute of Architects. He also was the longest living of the immortal Palm Beach architects, dying in 1992 at age 103.

About his Palm Beach forebears, he says that, “aside from the fact that they were all capable architects, they give us a much higher standard of design quality to be looking toward.” But Lawrence doesn’t necessarily use their motifs as blueprints, stating with pride that his firm (lawrencegrouparchitects. com) has no signature style. “We go to great extremes not to be signature architects,” he says. “Each building stands on its own. I take great pride in the fact that we have different buildings from case to case.” Key buiLdingS: Northern Trust bank building, Sun and Surf condominiums, the Biltmore Palm Beach, Salvatore Ferragamo and a reconstruction of the historic Paramount Theatre building. Fun FAct: When the lower-level basement slab was poured for the Neiman Marcus building on Worth Avenue, it was under 14 feet of water with a thousand pounds per square foot of upward pressure, 4 feet thick. Five thousand cubic yards of concrete were poured in one day. The job required Lawrence to be summoned to the scene at 2 a.m., and the work didn’t stop until 4 in the afternoon.

Architect: James L. Volk SignAture StyLe: Volk, born in Austria to the son of an architectural designer and craftsman, designed more than 2,000 buildings over a prolific 50-year career (he died in 1984). In her book Palm Beach: An Architectural Legacy, Polly Earl credits Volk for popularizing neoclassical and British Colonial designs in Palm Beach, while in the 1920s, “he designed Mediterranean Revival masterpieces to rival the most extravagant of Mizner’s creations.” He distinguished himself from his peers through designs that were asymmetrical, with restrained ornamentation. He is remembered as a diverse architect who didn’t limit himself to stylistic trends or extravagant mansions. Key buiLdingS: The Beach Club, sections of First National Bank, parts of William Randolph Hearst’s San Simeon and his personal residence, White Gables. Fun FAct: Volk’s very first commission, in New York, was a residence for Edward Albee, Sr., grandfather of the famous playwright. He would later contribute more directly to the arts by designing Palm Beach’s legendary Royal Poinciana Playhouse.

Architect: Joseph Urban SignAtUre Style: Born in Vienna, Urban was a theatrical stage designer as much as an architect, and he treated his buildings as stages—his designs were filled with the detail and grandiosity of large-scale dramatic productions. He wrote, “Frequently I select the furniture and fittings, personally, and I should even like to choose not only the people who live in my houses, but the clothes they wear and the things they do.” His working life on Palm Beach lasted all of two years, but in that short time, Urban designed five opulent edifices. Key bUildingS: Mar-a-Lago (with Marion Sims Wyeth), the historic Paramount Theatre, the famed Bath and Tennis Club, the Biddle House and the Demarest Little Castle. FUn FAct: The avuncular Urban designed more than 500 stage sets for more than 168 productions, including many at the Metropolitan Opera and the Zeigfeld, while illustrating seminal fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen.

Jeffery Smith

Architect: Addison Mizner SignAture Style: More than anyone else, Addison Mizner created the extravagant look of Boca Raton and much of Palm Beach, putting his signature stamp on our county with his Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival styles. Mizner was dramatic, ostentatious and demanding, creating Mizner Industries to produce the complex materials he couldn’t obtain in post-World War I America. His so-called “Mizner pink” remains one of his most imitated imprints. Key buildingS: The Everglades Club; the 37-room El Mirasol mansion; La Guerida,

an Ocean Boulevard property that was later occupied by John F. Kennedy; and his personal estate, which was later purchased by John Lennon. Fun FAct: A larger-than-life personality, Mizner had an imagination and eccentricity big enough to fit his 6-foot-2, 300-pluspound frame. He was famously known to parade around town with live animals, such as toucans and monkeys. Like Alfred Hitchcock, his own celebrity tended to dwarf his artistry in the public eye. As architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable said, “Anecdotes about Mizner have more been appreciated than his architecture.”

Architect: Jeffery Smith SignAture Style: Palm Beach residents

Actress Marie Dressler, Addison Mizner and Richard Barthelmess

and visitors have Smith to thank for a number of the wonderfully restored buildings on the island, many originally completed by the pioneering architects mentioned here. A Chicago native, he discovered architecture through the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan, but it was the splendor of the Palm Beach style that drew him to Florida, where he established his firm in 1989. Unabashedly reverent of the Gilded Age pioneers Addison Mizner and Maurice Fatio —Town and Country called Smith an adept historicist—his designs seek to recreate their extravagance. And he’s achieved remarkable success paying homage to their classical Mediterranean resplendence. Key buildingS: Restorations of the La Tonteria estate, Flagler Drive and South Ocean Boulevard homes by Marion Sims Wyeth, and Addison Mizner’s Casa de Leoni. Fun FAct: Architectural Digest and House and Garden have featured Smith in their magazines, and avid architecture writer Joyce C. Wilson wrote a book, Palm Beach Splendor, about Smith’s work. He regularly scoops up awards from the Preservation Society of Palm Beach and the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation. WORTH AVENUE

The Breakers is synonymous with Palm Beach history and grandeur and is known for its sweeping hotel amenities—five pools, nine restaurants, a fabulous spa, endless beachfront. But we don’t want you to overlook The Seafood Bar, with its bright oceanfront setting, in-bar aquarium and back-to-Florida feel. And the occasional stone crab.

Four seasons resorT Palm BeaCh 2800 s. ocean Blvd. 561/582-2800, fourseasons.com/palmbeach

The Colony is another classic Palm Beach address, with a pedigree and level of amenities that date to the days when the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were winter guests. We love, love, love it, but we have to say that, aside from the great Royal Room Cabaret (another bonus), we are partial to Motown Friday Nights at the Polo Lounge. Once a week, The Colony takes guests back to the Temptations era with the band Memory Lane performing Motown favorites from the ‘60s to the ‘80s. You will be dancing approximately eight minutes after you arrive.

Offering a wide assortment of cocktails and wines, the O-Bar even has its own original concoction, the Omphoy Om-Tini, a Palm Beach classic.

Flagler MuseuM, PalM Beach Henry Flagler, who in 1870 founded Standard Oil with John D. Rockefeller and Samuel Andrews, helped to establish Florida’s booming economy by building Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) along the east coast of Florida from Jacksonville to Key West. Flagler and wife Mary Lily Kenan spent winters in the Beaux-Arts mansion Whitehall, known today as the Flagler Museum. Investors bought the home in 1925 and turned it into a hotel, but Jean Flagler Matthews, Henry Flagler’s granddaughter, purchased the property and established it as the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum in 1959. Now, the home is a beautiful, well-preserved national historic landmark. Visitors to the museum, at the corner of Cocoanut Row and Whitehall Way, can take audio, self-guided or docent-led tours of the estate and Henry Flagler’s private railcar, built in 1886 for his personal use. Museum hours are from Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Regular admission is $18 for adults, $10 for ages 13 to 17, and $3 for children ages 6 to 12.

ann norton sculPture gardens, West PalM Beach Sculptor Ann Von Weaver moved from New York to West Palm Beach in 1941 to teach sculpting classes and collect art for Ralph Hubbard Norton and his wife, Elizabeth. Elizabeth died in 1946, and, a year later, Ralph Hubbard Norton, founder of the Norton Museum of Art, married Ann. Norton promised his new wife that he’d build a studio on their property, and, for the years that followed, Ann Norton filled the estate with her works. Today, part of that estate is the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, a showcase for the sculptor’s work—huge brick monoliths MystiqueGems_worth1213.indd 1

Admission to the gardens and home is $7 per person, and free for members. Gardens are closed in August. Hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information and exact seasonal hours and events, call 561/832-5328 or visit ansg.org.

Palm Beach Zoo at Dreher Park is a “keyway” to the tropics, says Garrett Hambuechen, the zoo’s chief operating officer. With more than 250 species and some 1,000 animals, the zoo features animals that thrive in the subtropical climate. “One of the unique things about the zoo is that you really feel like you’re walking into a jungle environment,” Hambuechen says. During the past five years, the zoo has invested millions of dollars in redevelopment, including improvements in its Tropics of the Americas exhibit, which houses jaguars, giant anteaters, primates and bush dogs. Animal Planet singled out the zoo’s jaguar exhibit as an ultimate exhibit in 2005. And the zoo is home to one-third of the existing endangered population of bush dogs, a wild dog species from South and Central America. The Palm Beach Zoo also offers a restaurant, with lake views, and an interactive splash fountain, which provides children’s entertainment during the day and evening. A long list of educational opportunities makes this zoo the second largest educator


(after the public school system) in Palm Beach County. Palm Beach Zoo at Dreher Park, at 1301 Summit Blvd. in West Palm Beach, is open every day (except Thanksgiving and Christmas) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Regular admission is $18.95 for adults and $12.95 for children ages 3 to 12. Children younger than 3 can enjoy the zoo for free. Seniors pay $16.95 for entry. Call 561/547-9453 or visit palmbeachzoo.org for more information.

Peanut Island, RIvIeRa Beach Peanut Island, an 80-acre island in the Lake Worth Inlet, has views of the Port of Palm Beach, Lake Worth and the Island of Palm Beach. Visitors come by private boat or water taxi to picnic for the day or camp overnight. “The water is usually nice and blue, just like in the Bahamas,” says Jim Vaughn, park supervisor. “It’s primarily a pretty passive park. “We have picnic tables, pavilions, restrooms, a boat dock and fishing pier and a total of 20 campsites, which people can rent if they camp overnight. The only thing that costs any money on the island is if you want to rent a campsite for the night. Everything else is free to the public, first-come, first-serve.” Recent land renovations include a 3-acre snorkeling lagoon at the southeast corner of the island, adjacent to the old Coast Guard

The Great Outdoors For those who would rather participate in outdoor activities than watch them, South Florida has plenty of parks and preserves with native wildlife and Florida ecosystems ranging from coral reefs to cypress hammocks.

Snorkeling is great offshore, but if you want a park practically dedicated to it, you can drive down to Boca Raton to Red Reef Park, 1400 N.

A two-hour Palm Beach narrated tram tour (you can also 561-833-3503 rent bikes) departs from the visitor’s center at the Shark Valley angelamoore.com entrance (call 305/221-8455), and there is a Gulf Coast boat tour that leaves several times a day from Everglades City (call AngelaMoore_worth1213.indd 1 239/695-2591).

All Year Long

the Avenue has a vibrant life all its own with a number of signature events throughout the year that draw visitors and residents alike to this magical oceanfront enclave.

The days are long gone when Palm Beach and its legendary shopping street, Worth Avenue, only came alive during the winter season. The Avenue is a shopping and dining destination throughout the year, with local and international visitors who want to experience what may be the most beautiful retail and restaurant street in the world. Between the vias and the architecture and the tumbling bougainvillea, the street is a stroller’s paradise—and that’s before you start including the special events that enliven the year!

FASHION’S NIGHT OUT September (TBA), 2013

Fashion’s Night Out, which was launched in 2009 by Anna Wintour of Vogue to generate a buzz about fashion, has grown from an exclusively New York fashion district event into an international phenomenon.

From luxury autos lining the Avenue, to design competitions featuring fashions crafted from retailers’ shopping bags, to mini spa services and much more, the event draws thousands of fashionistas to Worth Avenue for a night of fun. Don your favorite outfit and perhaps you will be filmed by the paparazzi on the runway at Hibiscus Piazza!

HOLIDAY WINDOW DECORATING CONTEST Nov. 23 through Dec. 16, 2012

Decking the halls, walls and storefronts with holiday decor is a Worth Avenue tradition that never

fails to enchant residents and visitors. Luxury retailers along the Avenue join in the spirit of the season by decorating their boutiques. The stores also participate in a friendly competition for recognition in four categories: Best Traditional Display, Best Palm Beach Theme, Most Creative/ Unique and Best Overall. It’s the perfect holiday stroll—with Santa in mind.

CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING November 27, 2012

Santa Claus makes his stop in Palm Beach, signaling the start of the magical shopping season at Worth Avenue’s annual Christmas Tree Lighting event.

The parade begins at 6 p.m., with a flip of the switch that lights the magnificent 40-foot tree at 6:29 p.m., signaling the unofficial start of Palm Beach’s social season. Get there early and queue up the little ones for a turn on Santa’s magical throne.

PET PARADE March 9, 2013

Pets of all sizes parade the stage at the Worth Avenue Association’s annual Pet Parade and Contest, celebrating its 20th year. Both dogs and cats cruise the runway as the furry friends compete for great prizes and the honor of being one of Palm Beach’s doggy divas. The event takes place in Via Amore and attracts hundreds of spectators and scores of pet entries vying for prizes in categories such as Best Smile, Most Obedient and Best Tail Wagger, among others. As mistress of ceremonies, Sherry Frankel introduces each contestant with her special brand of humor, and her antics are only second to the outrageous couture worn by the contestants. This is a dog-day afternoon worth experiencing.
