TIFFANY & CO.

Tiffany & Co. announced today that legendary powerhouse and ultimate modern-day woman, Beyoncé will star in its latest campaign celebrating individuality, love, and universal connection. The result of a close collaboration and a shared vision between the star and Tiffany & Co., “LOSE YOURSELF IN LOVE” is a fiercely elegant homage to the joy of being one’s unapologetic self – a call to embrace the power of possibility. “An exploration of fearless creativity. “LOSE YOURSELF IN LOVE” embodies the beauty of self-love and empowered elegance. Beyoncé is an inspiration to so many because she embodies these qualities. We are honored to continue our partnership for the second year in a row and usher in an exciting new era of love.” – Alexandre Arnault, Executive Vice President of product & Communications. “I am honored to continue the partnership with Tiffany and Co. and to explore even deeper how beautiful our connections are, when we truly celebrate the relationship and importance of love that we have for ourselves as individuals,” says Beyoncé.

A Grammy Award-winning icon, wearing Tiffany icons, Beyoncé is a beacon of confidence, wearing the pinnacle expressions of Tiffany & Co.’s jewelry collections including Tiffany T, Tiffany HardWear, Tiffany Knot and the new Tiffany Lock. House icons including pieces from Jean Schlumberger and Elsa fearless self-expression during their time. Most notably, the star wears a custom Tiffany HardWear necklace, created

specificially for the campaign. The piece took over 40 hours to assemble and polish by hand at Tiffany & Co.’s JDIW in New York City and boasts 18k gold links three times the scale of the existing Tiffany HardWear graduated link necklace. A limited quantity of these large-scale necklaces will be available for purchase in commemoration of “LOSE YOURSELF IN LOVE.”

The print campaign was shot at Hangar Studios in Los Angeles by Mason Poole, with video by Dikayl Rimmasch, with styling from Marni Senofonte and Patti Wilson. The set design by Thomas Petherick is a study in scale: epic wide landscape shots feature house-sized speakers in contrast to tight jewelry portraits set in smaller, intimate vignettes.

A film centered around Beyoncé’s latest hit song, “SUMMER RENAISSANCE” will also launch later this fall and embodies the carefree, joyous spirit of the album as a whole. A journey of exploration and independence, “RENAISSANCE” has already received worldwide critical and fan acclaim since its release. Three-time Grammy Award-winning music video director Mark Romanek led the creation of the film, using the iconic Studio 54-era of New York City as inspiration. The film is brought to life through dance with choreography by Emmy-award nominated artist, Fatima Robinson. Inclusivity serves as a common theme throughout the campaign, nodding to the overarching call to come together in celebration not only in the film but also worldwide.

“LOSE YOURSELF IN LOVE” reflects Tiffany & Co.’s continued support of underrepresented communities. The newly launched social impact platform, Tiffany Atrium, includes the House’s ongoing partnership with the Carters through the Tiffany & Co. About Love Scholarship Program, in collaboration with BeyGOOD and the Shawn Carter Foundation. In 2021, Tiffany & Co. pledged USD $2M in scholarship funding for students in the arts and creative fields at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through 2024. As of today, the scholarship has been awarded to over 60 qualifying students at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, Norfolk State University in Virginia, Bennett College in North Carolina, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and Central State University in Ohio. Details on the scholarship beneficiaries for the 2022-23 academic year will be announced in the coming weeks.

“LOSE YOURSELF IN LOVE” launches globally in print and digital on September 2 and will be amplified through global media activations starting September 9. The accompanying film will launch on tiffany.com in October 2022.

ITAMA 62RS THE SHAPE OF FREEDOM

Making its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the ultimate Italian open yacht gets a technological and stylistic makeover and offers a totally maritime and emotion-filled experience to all fans of the brand.

Cannes, 9th September 2022- Itama 62RS takes to the stage at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2022 in even more Mediterranean, sporty and elegant form: blue like the sea and free like the wind of style and innovation that makes this yacht even more appealing. A timeless classic and a blend of agility, power and elegance, the new version writes a new chapter in the history of Itama and makes fans of sailing in direct contact with the water fall in love all over again.

With a blue hull and a deck entirely clad in teak, this new version of the much-loved 19-metre-plus open is an anthem to intelligent cruising, featuring a technological upgrade that makes it even smarter keeping the boat’s original spirit.

The architects and designers from the Interior&Décor team of the Ferretti Group Engineering Department have combined the traditional Mediterranean mood that has given Itama its iconic status with a style in line with the most up-to-date interior design trends.

OUTFITTING AND ONBOARD DECOR

The cockpit layout is designed to offer the maximum space and the most authentic sea experience possible. A large sun pad in grey technical fabric precedes the living and dining area furnished with a C-shaped sofa arranged around the fixed steel and wood table, which can be customized according to the owner’s tastes, and a bar unit to the left.

Forward, protected by the large wraparound windshield is the helm station, which features a new dashboard design with digital instrumentation and is integrated into the plotter with twin 12-inch screens, available with 16-inch screens in the optional version, for easy, enjoyable and state of the art cruising. The yacht wheel stays true to the spirit of Itama and is clad in gloss varnished teak with the logo in the centre. The bridge and dining areas are covered by a bimini top operated by an electro-hydraulic mechanism. The deck, which is entirely open like all the brand’s models, now features flush skylights to offer a sweeping and unbroken view of the horizon. Making the onboard experience even more pleasurable is a central passageway in the windshield with a pantograph opening mechanism.

9-METRE-PLUS OPEN IS AN ANTHEM TO INTELLIGENT CRUISING

INTERIOR

Below deck, the multiple customization options all maintain the perfect arrangement of the interior settings, despite their comprehensive makeover. The day zone contains the comfortable living area featuring light colours and walnut wood, the dinette with a moveable table that can be converted into an extra sofa-bed, and the galley with a C-shaped layout and white lacquered wood furnishings.

The galley layout has been redesigned from top to bottom and now offers the utmost in comfort and even more light thanks to the addition of another opening porthole. The night area in the bow contains the owner’s suite and the two guest cabins, both with ensuite bathrooms and available either as two doubles or a double and a twin.

PROPULSION AND PERFORMANCE

The Itama 62RS is fitted with engines that deliver performance in line with the yacht’s predecessors: two MAN V12 units rated 1,400 hp each, offering a cruising speed of 37 knots and a top speed of 40 knots.

The main new feature is the option of installing a Seakeeper NG9, which offers more stability at the anchor and cruising and even greater comfort on board. Finally, the flaps on the previous version have been replaced with Humphree interceptors for improved trim at sea.

In short, 62RS incorporates new functional and design features, which when combined with the technological innovations introduced make its Itama DNA even more original and inimitable.

That unmistakable Mediterranean spirit and those uniquely sleek, sporty lines which have led to these magnificent boats being described as “designed by the sea”.

THE MOON PHASE IS THE FIRST COMPLICATION IN THE LUMINOR DUE LINE

The moon phase, among the most poetic complications, is the centerpiece of Luminor Due Luna—the final word in its name being the Italian word for moon, which appears on the dial.

Available in four iterations, all in a 38mm that appeals to a broad spectrum of wearers, it promises to become a key pillar of the Luminor Due family. In each variation, the complication, situated at 3 o’clock, exhibits a rotating disc with a 24 carats moon against a starry midnight blue sky.

MARTIN RAY VINEYARD THE EVOLUTION OF A BLEND

THE STORY

The name Martin Ray resonates deeply in the history of California Winemaking. Martin Ray was a pioneer, dedicated to crafting single varietal, region specific wine from 1943 through 1972 in Saratoga, in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Mentored by Paul Masson, he took a burgundian approach to his winemaking, and developed what is now one of the most historical properties in California, known as Mount Eden.

Nearly twenty years later, Courtney Benham stumbled upon 1500 cases of Martin Ray wine in a San Jose warehouse. Recognizing his good fortune, and his intent and drive to produce terroir driven wines, Ray’s historical significance and philosophy resonated with him. Courtney purchased the brand, and since 1990 has been committed to the production of artisanal wines worthy of the Martin Ray name.

In 2003, Martin Ray Vineyards & Winery made its home in the Russian River Valley, on the edge of Green Valley at one of the oldest continually working wineries in California.

Today, Courtney and his winemaking team devote themselves to Ray’s ideology of making “wines of place”. By sourcing from hillside vineyards, they are relentless at telling the story of each exceptional appellation and vineyard. The depth of the portfolio offers those seeking a unique experience the chance to explore some of the most revered appellations in California. From our 12 acre Estate, to the mountain regions of Santa Cruz and Napa, to the northern reaches of Dry Creek Valley and Sonoma Coast, there is an abundance of phenomenal growing regions, great farming, and meticulous detail to vintages.

...unique experience...

THE VINEYARDS

RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

Situated in the heart of the Russian River Valley, our 12 acre Estate rests atop the Laguna Ridge, overlooking the Laguna de Santa Rosa.

Most notable is our Tower Block, two acres planted to Heritage Clone 37 (also known as the Mt. Eden clone), which Martin Ray brought from France in the 1930’s. Situated just below is our Home Ranch Block, consisting of Dijon clones 828, 667, and 777, as well as 943, a high aromatic, low yielding clone that

France negotiated a royalty payment for every bud sold in the United States.

Northeast facing, this steep sloping vineyard is planted on enviable Goldridge soil, and sees idyllic conditions of fog in the morning and coastal breezes in the evening. Planted in 2011 and farmed by renowned vineyard manager Jim Pratt, we have high expectations for this young vineyard, and the flagship of our Pinot Noir program.

NAPA VALLEY

Napa Valley is synonymous with Cabernet Sauvignon and we have been working with growers in the valley for decades. The famed valley and its surrounding mountains and hillsides are the source for our flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, which brings together the perfect marriage of the contrasting styles that each vineyard yields

While Napa Valley is only 30 miles long and a few miles wide, its unparalleled diversity of microclimates and geography make it one of the most renowned wine growing regions in the world. Not only are its variances in elevation impressive, it is a geological force, with

some of the most diverse soils that exist anywhere. Taking advantage of the quality and variation of styles coming from each appellation within Napa, we draw from the silky, earthy, more readily approachable valley floor fruit, and chewy tannins and tertiary profiles that exist from Mountain appellations. Each vineyard, whether from Stags Leap, Rutherford, or Howell Mountain, yields distinct characteristics that shape and define our Synthesis Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wild Thyme Restaurant Group, known for their widely popular concepts including Shorebird, Jay Bird’s Chicken, and Molé, to name a few, will introduce a new restaurant to their roster of acclaimed eateries. Opening Friday, October 28 at Pacific City in Huntington Beach, Kai Lounge presents an immersive dining experience and nightlife venue inspired by modern Japanese culture and cuisine.

To coincide with its Grand Opening on Halloween weekend, Kai Lounge will host a celebratory costume contest on Friday, October 28. When the restaurant transitions into a late-night lounge at 10 p.m., guests are encouraged to come dressed to impress in costume. Gift card prizes for 1st ($150), 2nd ($100), and 3rd ($50) place will be awarded to the evening’s most festive guests. The full dinner menu will be available for late-night dining on Fridays and Saturdays until 1 a.m.

“As a resident of Huntington Beach myself, I’ve always wanted to open a restaurant in the community I call home,” comments Heinrich Stasiuk, CEO & founder of Wild Thyme Restaurant Group. “We designed Kai Lounge to be a transcendent experience that allows you to step from the beach into the bustling nightlife of Tokyo.”

operations and menu development for Wild Thyme’s concepts, and Executive Chef Tin Nguyen present a menu of modern Japanese cuisine. From stir-fried wok creations to the inimitable Omakase experience, the menu at Kai Lounge was designed to explore the different facets of Japanese dining.

Much like its menu, Kai’s interior takes cues from Japanese design, with contrasting tones of black and white, softened by sandy neutrals and balancing florals in cherry blossom pink. Kai Lounge welcomes guests into a progressive and immersive dining experience. Designed to celebrate the evolution and nuances of Japanese cuisine, the 6,500-square-foot restaurant features multiple lounge areas, dining rooms, and bars, each offering its own glimpse into the multi-faceted world of Japanese cuisine.

Guests can look forward to flavor-packed small plates like Blue Crab-Stuffed Jalapeños topped with mango purée; Hamachi Crudo topped with quick-seared tangerine slivers and jalapeños; and tender Pork Belly Bao Buns filled with pickled pepper slaw and hoisin sauce. Wok creations

include stir-fry sensations like Shaking Beef with charred beef tenderloin, lemon watercress, and house ponzu; and Uni & Chuka Noodles tossed with uni butter, miso sauce, and shiro dashi. Creativity shines through bold signature entrees like Miso-Marinated Japanese Black Cod, Lemongrass Lamb Chops, and a Bone-In Filet Mignon served with black trumpet mushroom sauce.

Kai’s outdoor patio faces the Pacific City grounds, enticing passersby with lively music, chic lounge seating, and a circular indoor-outdoor bar that peers into the main dining room. Upon entering, guests are welcomed into a stylish waiting area, where an illuminated floral wall and contemporary furnishings present the perfect backdrop for guests to take photos. Kai’s main dining room offers seating for 150, including 14 at its Yakitori Bar, where guests can watch as Hokkaido scallops, Jidori chicken, and Kurobuta pork sizzle as they’re seared and skewered over traditional robata grills.

The back dining room plays with a juxtaposition of modern and traditional Japanese cuisine. Comfortable booth seating at the center of the room gives guests a view of both the restaurant’s open kitchen, where woks filled with contemporary twists on classic stir fries are tossed above an open flame, and its sushi bar, where chefs meticulously prepare nigiri, sashimi, and signature rolls. Finally, a secluded Whiskey Room, limited to just ten seats, offers guests an intimate dining space. Walls lined with premium bottles like Hibiki Master Select and Yamazaki become a backdrop for enthusiasts and aficionados alike. The Whiskey Room will double as an Omakase Speakeasy where Executive Chef Nguyen will offer a multi-sensory, 18-course Omakase experience.

Led by Director of Bar Operations, Topher Bray, the libations program at Kai Lounge offers a selection of handcrafted cocktails, along with a curated list of sakes, beer, and wine. Cocktails are reimagined with a modern Japanese twist in drinks like the Kai-pirhina with Cachaça and yuzu and cult classics like the Espresso Martini.

Kai Lounge is located on the second story of Pacific City in Huntington Beach (21058 Pacific Coast Hwy) and will be open daily for lunch from 11:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. and for dinner from 4 p.m. – 9:30 p.m., with a late-night menu offered until 1 a.m. For more information, please visit www.kailounge.com or connect with them on Instagram @KaiLoungeUSA

Since its opening in March, Rum Social in downtown Laguna Beach has allured locals and visitors alike with its menu of bold island dishes, rum-based cocktails, and luxe tropical design. The Island-inspired eatery debuts a new menu designed to entice all the senses and offer guests an escape into the elusive ‘endless summer’ lifestyle.

Rum Social is the first joint venture between veteran restaurateur John Fisher and award-winning designer Ken Ussenko. The duo conceptualized Rum Social to be a tropical escape, a hidden vignette that allows guests to step from the bustling streets of Laguna Beach and into a tropical daydream. Its menu masterfully blends modern California cooking with influences and ingredients from the Caribbean to Southeast Asia. Presenting an enchanting flow of colors, fabrics, and textures, the restaurant’s ambiance beckons guests into the bygone era of a 1930s beachfront island lounge.

“Our vision for Rum Social goes beyond exceptional hospitality. We designed the restaurant to be a transcendent experience, offering an indulgence in the universal desire to escape,” comments partner Ken Ussenko, whose firm is responsible for the restaurant’s design and décor.

JOHN MCMONIGLE

The national real estate market is experiencing an anticipated response to a rising interest rate environment with the lowering of both demand and supplies of homes to purchase. While marketing times have risen from their unprecedented lows, the balance between supply and demand has allowed pricing to remain relatively stable. Across the country, people are still looking to buy homes, and the number of available homes for sale is not currently outpacing demand.

One of the key drivers of continued demand for homes is the stabilized economy. Unemployment rates still remain at historic lows, with many people still employed at good-paying jobs, giving them the financial stability and confidence to purchase a new home when the need arises. Although mortgage rates have risen from their historic lows, they still remain at lower levels than they were through-out the 90’s and much of the 2,000s.

As stated above, pricing has remained relatively stable as there is a low inventory of available homes. In many parts of the country, there remains a shortage of homes for sale, which helps keep pricing at last year’s levels or in a few cases has resulted in modest price increases. This is especially true in higher population markets, such as major cities and coastal areas. The lack in a rise of available homes for sale is in-part due to a slowdown in new construction as well as the accelerated refinancing of mortgages into much lower interest rates that has taken place in the past couple of years.

The national real estate market is also being impacted by demographic trends. As the population ages, there is an increased demand for single-level homes and homes with features designed to accommodate older adults, such as firstfloor main bedrooms and wider doorways for ease of all types of accessibility. These types of homes are in high demand, and often sold at a premium price.

One of the biggest challenges facing the national real estate market is the lack of affordable housing. In many parts of the country, especially in major cities and coastal areas, the cost of housing is out of reach for many people. This lack of affordability is making it difficult for people to buy homes, and it is contributing to the rise rental rates and in some cities homelessness and housing insecurity.

To address the lack of affordable housing, some cities and states are implementing policies to encourage the construction of more affordable housing units, Guest homes, (AUDs) and in some jurisdictions the building of two units on parcels that are zoned for one unit. Additionally, these policies changes may also include additional tax credits for developers who build affordable housing, zoning changes to allow for denser development, and the use of public land for the development of affordable housing.

If you are considering buying or selling a home, an agentinc real estate professional is fully equipped to help you navigate the market and guide you in making the best housing decision for your individual need.

We look forward to the privilege and opportunity of serving you in 2023.
