THE INTERVIEW

and

based Plastic Surgeon Dr.

EDITED BY KARINA KAVANAGH / PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBIN SUBAR

What options does the Whole Beauty Institute o er for facial rejuvenation? If you are serious about providing optimum facial rejuvenation for a patient you need to look at four things: tone, volume, expression, and surface. Mistakes happen when you try to use just one of these options to correct the aging face. For example, if you blow up a face with too much ller when the real problem is a loss of tone, you will create a very unnatural appearance. Our o ce does a detailed analysis of each patient’s face in each of these four areas so that we protect the patient’s natural facial identity.

ere is a di erent answer for every patient. For a person in their late 30’s or early 40’s who is just beginning to notice a loss of tone, we can solve the problem in a few o ce sessions without surgery. Our team can gently heat the tissue until it tightens using a series of radiofrequency treatments. A person in their late 40’s or early 50’s has more loss of tone but is not yet ready for a face lift. Here we can do a simple no-incision lift with a device known as Face Tite. rough tiny openings I introduce a pair of probes—one sits on top of the skin and the other sits underneath. Energy ows between the tips of the probes and tightens the skin as I glide them back and forth. We were the rst practice in this part of the country to work with this technology. Only a person who has lost signi cant

tone at all levels of the skin needs to consider a face lift, but it has become far simpler since we have developed techniques that allow patients to have a full facelift under local anesthesia.

Tell us more about the local anesthesia face lift.

From the patient’s perspective, it removes much of what was frightening about lifting. e patient can eat breakfast before the surgery, there is no IV, and there is no anesthesia hangover. e level of safety is unmatched since you avoid the risks associated with deeper levels of anesthesia.

How did you become interested in face lift surgery?

I have always been fascinated by the face because it conveys our inner sense of being to the world. Early on I realized that facial rejuvenation wasn’t just a matter of tugging on skin, but rather a restoration of facial structures to their natural position. I could also see that volume was often as important as tone, so I became deeply interested in using a patient’s natural fat to restore a pleasing natural fullness. I have done several thousand facial fat transfers in the course of my practice. e next frontier is improving the surface at the time of lifting, so we have advanced techniques to do this as well.

You have said that the face lift operation is making a triumphant return. Why is this?

ere is simply no better way to bring the facial structures back to their natural position than a face lift. Fillers or other devices are just not as e ective and long-lasting. Patients are catching on to this and returning to the face lift. is was proven by the latest statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, which showed a signi cant increase in face lift procedure in 2017—far greater than the increase in llers.

is is not to say that llers have no place in facial rejuvenation. We have a great team of clinicians at the Whole Beauty Institute who use llers with artistic discretion every day. ey just have to be used intelligently and with great skill.

What makes your work stand apart?

Careful study of each face, a passionate commitment to preserving a person’s natural structure, and attention to detail. Plus, we have a great team at the Whole Beauty Institute and they are there for the patient every step of the way.

EDITED BY KARINA KAVANAGH PHOTOGRAPHY BY TAYLOR JEWELL

Connecting with consumers in a modern way, Lela Rose’s Fall 2018 collection showcases a curated list of 10 style bloggers releasing 10 looks from the new collection titled “10 Hours of Fashion.” Each in uencer styled the clothing in their own unique way o ering a fresh and diverse approach to how the Lela Rose “girl” wears the brand. Lela Rose herself sits down with Sheridan Road to share insight behind this new direction and discuss the brand’s evolution. Lela Rose will be visiting the North Shore on October 11 at noon at Neiman Marcus Northbrook. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the fall collection with the designer herself.

Who is the Lela Rose woman?

e Lela Rose woman is social, savvy, and has a calendar lled with events.

You were born and raised in Dallas, Texas. Does the Southern Belle aesthetic still in uence your designs?

Absolutely. My mother would always be dressed for the day. at has been a big inspiration for all of my collections. We want to out t our customer from day to dinner and be her go-to for any occasion.

What prompted the collaboration with fashion bloggers for your fall 2018 collection and do they each capture a di erent side of the Lela Rose woman?

We live in an ever changing fast paced digital world and I wanted to tap into a new way of connecting with our consumer. Social media plays a pivotal role in that. is campaign really allowed all of our digital followers to be a part of New York Fashion Week and the release of the new collection. We were also able to introduce the brand to a new audience through the lens of our bloggers which was key.

How has your brand evolved since launching your rst collection out of your apartment in 1996, and where do you see it in the future?

We have evolved into a full entertaining lifestyle brand. We’ve expanded our clothing categories into not only dresses but separates, knits, and accessories.

I love to make women feel con dent. When you look good, you feel good!

Will your customers have an opportunity to work with you personally at the Neiman Marcus event?

Yes, of course! I love working with customers and will be there even in the dressing rooms pulling looks and helping out t clients.

What is your favorite look for the fall collection?

I love our oral crêpe trench dress with the Chantilly lace appliqué—it’s so versatile and easy to wear.

Be yourself, and smile!

Cory was an excellent broker during our home sale along with the purchase of our new home! Not only was he a delight to work with, he was very attentive, kind and warm, understanding of our needs, prompt and available whenever we needed him, and very knowledgeable about both the process of our home sale and the purchase of our next home! We thought he was so great that we immediately recommended him to my folks to use as they are in the process of getting their home prepared to sell. We thank Cory for making this process a great one!!

CULTURE & ARTS

THE NORTH SHORE’S MOST CREATIVE PURSUITS

FROM THE LAYERED WORKS OF A WINNETKA ARTIST TO WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE LOCAL STAGE, HERE IS YOUR KEY TO ALL THAT IS TRENDING

Contemporary

WORDS BY MONICA KASS ROGERS PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBIN SUBAR STYLING, HAIR, AND MAKEUP BY CONSTANTINE JAMES

If you ask contemporary artist Linda Ann Weber about the inspiration for her mixed media work, “Remembering Lake Winnebago” the answer will surprise you. “Ah!” she smiles, “ e title came after the work was nished. Looking at it, I was reminded of the way it felt to be at my grandparents’ cottage on Lake Winnebago. e feeling of swimming in the lake, the feeling of happiness and freedom and summer as a child. But the inspiration for the painting itself? ere wasn’t one—other than what I was feeling and seeing in the moment working with these beautiful blues and aquas and greens. None of my paintings are meant to look like a speci c landscape, but sometimes, they do.”

For Weber, color and pattern have always just owed. As a little girl, sitting down with pile of markers or crayons, she would take a blank sheet of paper and start making patterns until the whole space was lled.

“ e colors and shapes just came. Nothing was planned, it was just intuitive,” she says.

Growing up in Evanston, just blocks from the lake, Weber was encouraged in artistic expression by her mom who painted and drew, and by a sister who also painted. Weber’s natural knack led her into a career in graphic arts. She spent a few years in packaging design before moving to publication design, shaping magazines and books, and leading teams as a creative director for

artist Linda Ann Weber’s colorful abstract mixedmedia works creatively layer paint, pencil, crayon and paper collage.

“Elton’s Muse”

Linda Ann Weber

Morton Grove-based Publications International. en a stint living in North Carolina led her to explore freer forms of artistic expression. In Charlotte, Weber met the owner of a gallery called the Blue Pony that also had a press and specialized in exhibiting monotypes, etchings, woodcuts, and other art made with printmaking techniques.

“I was really drawn to printmaking and started taking classes there, making monotypes and monoprints where I would put a piece through the press several times, adding di erent layers of drawing, collage, and ink. But I wanted to explore other forms of art and so, I started painting.”

By 2013, Weber was painting full-time creating multiple series of smaller abstract work and larger individual works. Initially, Weber says segueing from graphic design to facing a blank canvas was challenging. “Since the paintings come from within, it can make you feel vulnerable, like you are baring your soul. Also, when I was working as a designer, there was always somebody standing over your shoulder saying, ‘Make this red’ or ‘Use this font.’ Now all of a sudden, it was total freedom which at rst felt terrifying but then became very empowering.”

Like her childhood drawings, Weber’s work today is still abstract and intuitive. Working with acrylic paint, pencil, crayon, paper collage and glazing mediums, she builds each composition in layers. Until recently most pieces ranged in size from about 30 x 30 inches to 30 x 40. But the addition of a new, larger studio space at her home in Winnetka means she’ll be adding largersized compositions to her body of work.

Some of her most recent works are part of series she calls “Gra ti,” mixed-media pieces that bring bits of type and photographs as collage into the composition—a fun connection to her work in publishing and printmaking. Weber says the work grew out of an artist workshop she attended, where the group did an exercise setting a bunch of tools out, making a quick mark, and then grabbing a di erent tool and keeping it going. “It was very physical and quick,” recalls Weber, “and I really liked the results,

so I modi ed the exercise and used it myself, just for fun. Initially, I just intended this as a warm-up to other things, and would just throw the results away. But then I started to lay them out and realized, wow, this would work together very well as a body of work.” e pieces she is working on now will take the “Gra ti” theme into larger works of art, and explore new symbolic references.

Weber has work in three galleries: Artspace 8 in Chicago, Sheldon Fine Art in Naples, Florida, and Gallery 52 in Rye, New York. View more of Weber’s work at her website and on Instagram—lindaannweber.com and for Instagram: laweberartist.

—David Cale

“It sounds unlike any other music show I’ve ever heard and unlike anything I’ve ever done before.”

An inventive blend of monologue and musical, We’re Only Alive for a Short Amount of Time is intimate, raw, and altogether entertaining. e autobiographical piece opening this month at the Goodman eatre focuses on family, in particular that of playwright David Cale. His parents’ taut marriage—one he survived through song—informs the script, detailing his charismatic, albeit con ned, mother: “She led a very brief and tragic life,” he reveals.

“I’m hoping it resonates with people. I hope it’s moving,” he says. “I hope, ultimately, that it’s a life-a rming story that leaves people feeling more alive than when they walked in.”

Growing up in a “rough town north of London,” Cale dreamt of becoming a singer, prompting a move to the big city, where he began singing in local pubs, then across the pond to New York. ere his musical performances

With one foot in acting—theater, lm, and television—and another in the music world—a publishing deal with Sony—things were accelerating quickly for Cale.

“Each fed the other,” he explains.

Most recently, there was the acclaimed Harry Clarke starring Billy Crudup (an “incredible, dreamy experience”).

e award-winning, box o ce record-breaking o -Broadway show marked the rst time someone else had performed his work: “I’d never sat in the audience for one of my own shows,” he says.

Cale will be back at the front of the house for the world premiere of his latest production on the Goodman’s main stage—his seventh endeavor with the famed Chicago playhouse: “I’m excited to be sharing my story in such a grand way.”

In addition to writing and performing the material, Cale has set this powerful piece of theater to original songs he penned, performed by the six musicians accompanying him onstage, with arrangements and underscoring composed by longtime collaborator Matthew Dean Marsh.

With equal parts reminiscence and what’s still to come, Cale concludes, “In some ways, all of my solo shows and musical endeavors have led to this. It pulls from everything I’ve been working on up to this point and takes it one step further. For me, it’s quite a bold move forward.”

125 YearsCelebrating WOMEN & GERMAN Culture

For Christel Schmidt, the 125th Anniversary of the Chicago Columbia Club celebration at Chicago’s Woman’s Athletic Club was especially sweet. Glowing with light, laughter, and the conversation of special guests and members, the event brought back memories of Schmidt’s rst times with the group.

“My brightest memory is of a Christmas party, not long after I came here,” says Schmidt, now president of the club. “ e room was beautifully decorated. It was all lit up with advent wreaths and candles on every table. ere was Christmas music and carols, German poetry, and glühwein. For me, a woman nding her feet in Chicagoland, it was a little bit like being home in Westphalia, but with all the excitement and potential of this new place and new friendships.”

Schmidt couldn’t be prouder that the club, which was founded in April of 1893, is still going strong, with 140 members, and the same mission as when it began: To celebrate German culture and to enrich lives through the fellowship of other women, the arts, and lively discussion around literary topics of interest.

Originally called e Columbia Damen (“ladies” in German) Club, the group was formed as Chicago was about to host the World’s Columbian Exposition, and the German immigrant population here was thrilled to participate as a big part of the host city. For context, although it’s di cult to imagine in Chicago’s current melting pot, in 1893, one of every four of Chicago’s 1 million residents was of German heritage. e German language was taught in schools, there were four German newspapers and German clubs and organizations were very common.

Here’s how the woman’s club came to be: As part of the world’s fair, a World’s Congress Auxiliary for Higher Education was planned to discuss the future of education here and at large. Prominent Chicago women of German heritage were invited to represent the German community for guests who would be arriving. And Mrs. Harriet Brainard, head of the auxiliary needed advice on the best German education theorists to invite to the Congress.

“And so,” explains Schmidt, “the ladies met at the Schiller house, and decided to invite Kaethe Schirmacher—German writer, journalist and political activist, who was considered to be one of the leading advocates for women’s rights and the international women’s movement at the time.”

Out of this meeting, the Chicago Columbia Club was formed.

e early membership list reads like a “Who’s Who” of in uential Chicago German families of the time. e rst president, Auguste Bluthardt, was the wife of Dr. eo J. Bluthardt who would become American Consul to Bremen, Germany. Other members

included Mrs. Charles Wacker (wife of the businessman namesake of Wacker Drive), Mrs. C. Seipp (from the Seipp brewery), Mrs. W.A. Wieboldt (of department store fame), Mrs. Emily Eitel (of the Bismarck Hotel,) and Mrs. Dux Swift (yes, the sausage maker.) e club never had its own clubhouse, but rather, met every rst ursday of the month from October to May at locations including Germania Club, the Walnut Room at Marshall Field’s, and the Edgewater Beach Hotel, until settling in at the Woman’s Athletic Club in 1973—still the club’s current home.

en as now, typical meetings of the group started with a presentation on di erent topics in German or a musical or oratory performance, followed by a lunch (note one meeting per year is held in English). Over the years, presentations have been made by visiting professors on topics as wide ranging as “ e Relationship between Richard Wagner and King Ludwig of Bavaria,” to “A Cure for Diabetes” and a presentation about Albrecht Dürer. Traveling artists and prominent German-Americans living in Chicago have come. Members of the Lyric Opera Orchestra and the Ryan Opera Center have performed and so has the Vienna Boys Choir and the Bach Week Festival Choir.

roughout the years, the club has done philanthropic work— everything from supporting the Red Cross to promoting German theater in Chicago. As well, to continue in its tradition of furthering German education and culture, the club has provided a university scholarship to a deserving student in German studies--the “Chicago Columbia Club Helene Lange Fellowship,” every year since inception.

“While the number of members goes up and down, the club continues to be a place of friendship within the Chicagoland German community. We have old people and young people, new Chicagoans and long-time expats who all care so much for one another. It’s such a privilege to be together,” sums Schmidt.

e club is open to German-speaking women, with invitation by a sponsoring member. For more information, visit columbiaclub.org.

Sleek. at is the word that immediately popped into my mind when we pulled up at the complimentary valet. e modern aesthetic of the building is de ned by elegant wood planking both outside and in, mostly with a slight stain, but the panel at the entrance looks almost bleached in its rawness. A slender sans serif font mounted to the panel introduces patrons to Highwood’s exciting new presence, Greenwood.

“We wanted a place for casual food in a really lovely setting,” says owner Josh Kaplan. Greenwood has all the panache of downtown destination dining with a menu that occupies a new space in Highwood between all of the white table cloths or dripping wax candelabras and delicious order-at-the-counter tacos, as most of their elevated Americana o erings reside under $20.

Our rst experience of the menu came via the Avocado Toast, three slices of rustic bread toasted to a perfect crunch with a our speckled crust dotted with sea salt. A creamy layer of fresh avocado spread serves as the base for tangy Pico de Gallo with sweet corn and an undercurrent of lime. A lilt of garlic mingles with the avors of cilantro and a sprinkle of queso fresco. It’s like a beautiful vegetarian taco on toast, securing this plate’s position as an unmissable starter.

DINNER DATE

and incredibly creamy goat cheese. A house made balsamic vinaigrette introduces a tangy top note as cornbread croutons add a welcome textural element and leave a buttery aftertaste to join the health-some avor of the greens. Served entree-sized, it makes an excellent dinner for one or a lovely palate cleansing detour for two before heading into the entrees.

Chef Mark Newman is making a point with his Double Cheeseburger. Revived from his memories as a child sitting at the counter in Shelton’s in Ravinia, he wanted to bring his haute cuisine sensibilities to the all-American classic. “I just wanted to take something that was amazing and make it in a scratch kitchen,” he says. It’s a point that their clientele have taken to heart with 700 burgers ordered in 30 days, 1000 if you include turkey burgers. And they’re not even open for lunch. It’s elegantly simple. Two griddled burger patties, dripping American cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and bread and butter pickles on a bun. Great ingredients, expertly prepared. ere’s no question as to its dominance as the top ordered menu item as soon as you taste the rst peppery bite. A cup of hand cut French fries with ecks of fried potato skin are the perfect side dish.

e Grilled Brick Chicken allows Chef Mark to ex the panache for plating that was so evident at Ballaro, his and Kaplan’s previous partnership. Incredibly smokey and succulent chicken is stacked as the centerpiece in a demi-glace reminiscent sauce. Green beans that retain their garden-fresh snap add an earthy side and a pop of vibrant color while the potato wedges lean into the robust avors of rosemary, an extraordinary bedfellow for the meat.

Dessert was the ideal crystallization of the Greenwood concept. e Soft Serve Flight is a triptych of house made ice creams served in wa e cones. Choose from chocolate, vanilla bean, caramel, and strawberry. All of the ingredients are organic—they have to strain the seeds out to make the strawberry—and the stabilizers are all natural. Along with the Build Your Own Sundae, Chef Mark is determined to make Greenwood a one-stop shop for the family dinner. Sure, you could cart the kids o to Dairy Queen after dinner like you always have, but after you taste these, you’ll never want to.

Greenwood is located at 200 Green Bay Road in Highwood, 847-9267319, greenwoodhw.com.

COCKTAILS

With a cocktail menu featuring Standards (the classics) and Ri s (exotic modern twists), the before-dinner drink is a must. But if you’re looking for a nice draft beer to go with your burger, they’ve got a few heavy hitters from Kings and Convicts brewed just up the block or something lighter from just down the tracks at Ravinia Brewing Co.

Prosecco

Dolin dry vermouth

East India sherry

Contratto aperitif Apero

From the Ri s portion of the cocktail menu, this thing is like the blond cousin of a classic Old Fashioned, a little more fun and irty. O the rim, it’s light and fruity, practically straight prosecco. rough the straw, it’s got a hard vermouth bite. It certainly looks classic served in a cut glass double old fashioned on the rocks with a strip of orange peel.

Tito’s vodka

Freshly juiced pineapple

Basil infusion Velvet Falernum

Lime

Basically, pineapple juice with a nice kick to it, this feels like a re ned island beverage. e basil infusion brings a nice touch of complexity, but this drink is all fun with a pineapple frond speared across the rim of a chic coupe glass.

California DREAMING

FAIRMONT MIRAMAR HOTEL & BUNGALOWS

OFFERS A SOCAL ADVENTURE IN SANTA MONICA

WORDS BY DUSTIN O’REGAN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRISTIAN HORAN PHOTOGRAPHY

Exterior facade of bungalows at Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows

FIRST CLASS

Need to get away? ere’s no better place to hide from the world and bask in the sunshine than Southern California, and especially at the historic Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows in Santa Monica. is famous SoCal hotel is located midway between Malibu’s famous surf break and Los Angeles. “Miramar”—Spanish for “view of the sea”—is a tting name for the property, whose stunning views have drawn guests for nearly 100 years. More than just beautiful, though, the Miramar’s main selling point for its long history has been its seclusion. It was—and is—a popular place for celebrities to escape the connes of Hollywood. When the hotel rst opened in the Roaring Twenties, Greta Garbo was one of the rst through the doors. She was followed in later years by actresses Jean Harlow and Marilyn Monroe, as well as hundreds of others who ocked to the Miramar hoping to disappear from the media’s watchful eye. Whether you’re hiding from paparazzi, a stressful job, or simply Chicago winters, the Fairmont Miramar is the perfect escape.

Iron entrance gates give way to sweeping views and the hotel’s hundred and forty-year-old g tree. Guests continue on into the vast lobby, where a lounge, a bar, and a line of welcoming desks ensure a quick and easy check-in. Step outside to nd bright white chairs and fun printed pillows surrounding the turquoise pool and hot tub—a familiar sight for fans of Moonlighting, Hart

to Hart, or Knots Landing, as all used this area for location shots. Luxury bungalows are scattered throughout the property, with the Ocean Tower and the Palisades Wing soaring overhead.

BUNGALOWS

Fairmont Miramar is the only hotel in Santa Monica that boasts bungalows. Set among palm trees, bountiful owers, and tranquil waterfalls are 32 private bungalows, perfect for couples and/or families. e bungalows vary in size, but all o er a spacious modern bathroom, bedroom(s) and private patio. Decorated in soothing white and gray with touches of Malibu-sky blue and driftwood accents, the bungalows are perfect for relaxing after a long day in the sun, and they o er more of the hotel’s signature seclusion.

ADVENTURES

e hotel is nestled on the edge of Santa Monica’s residential area where you can shop on the ird Street Promenade and stroll the iconic Santa Monica Pier. rill seekers are in luck here too—with Malibu just down the road, you can take advantage of some of the world’s most famous surf breaks. Malibu Surf Shack—Malibu’s local surf shop since 1972—overlooks Surfrider Beach and provides equipment and surf lessons Monday through Friday. ese breaks aren’t for rookies, but the Malibu Surf Shack sta can turn anyone into a pro (or just teach you not to fall before you even stand up)! For those whose idea of adventure is a bit

slower-paced, the surf shack also provides paddle boards. (malibusurfshack.com)

If you prefer to stay closer to the hotel, the beach club is just a short jeep or bike ride away. Here you’ll nd a huge beach scattered with plenty of lounge chairs shaded by adorable navy umbrellas, and games and activities as well as a full beach menu. Cold drinks hand-delivered to your lounge chair is just about as good as it gets.

DINING

e hotel’s FIG restaurant was perfectly captured by the L.A. Times as “A raging success.” e Mediterranean-in uenced bistro works with local farmers to source the freshest local and organic ingredients straight from the Santa Monica Farmers Market.

e menu includes hearty dishes as well as light, quick bites: all well-presented, delicious, and perfectly paired with wines from the extensive wine list. Hanging lights, green plants, and a wood-burning oven underscore the bistro’s rustic charm, and it’s all topped o with phenomenal, California cheery service.

e Lobby Lounge is another great spot for lunch, dinner or a unique cocktail and is positioned next to the soothing Koi sh pond and waterfall.

SOCAL CLUBBING

All this relaxation doesn’t mean that the nightlife scene is on life support. On the contrary, the hip nightclub Bungalow is located just outside the hotel and constantly has lines out the door. e

Baja-inspired casita holds a series of di erently decorated rooms, eclectic furniture, and generous cocktails, not to mention people-watching galore. e margaritas are a must!

AMENITIES

If ocean water and wind aren’t your hairstyling tools of choice, Glam&Go o ers express and signature blowouts to tame salty hair. e express service, tailored to take only 15 minutes, starts on dry hair for a blowout nish in half the time. Glam&Go also o ers updos for a night out. Fitness gurus will feel right at home in the Health Club and Exhale—a mind/body spa with state of the art equipment and therapies. Many Santa Monica locals use the Miramar facilities as their “club” as they o er unique and comprehensive spa, tness, and healing programs. Be sure to sign up for the outdoor yoga. Channeling inner peace while feeling the ocean breeze and listening to the sound of waves... is practically a spiritual experience.

If you’re yearning for an escape, e Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows will deliver, and throw in glamorous old Hollywood vibes as a cherry on top. Whether you are there on business, with a signi cant other, or with your family, you can enjoy a serene, yet adventurous stay. If all that isn’t enough, remember Santa Monica weather hardly ever dips below 60 degrees... California’s calling.

Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows is located at 101 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, California. For more information, visit Fairmont.com/Santa-Monica/Miramar.

Homeowner Jeni Frient is delighted to be a part of the tour this year and showcase what has truly been a labor of love. She and husband, Je , who married in July 2016, embarked on extensive renovations of the Winnetka property, originally built in the 1920s, perfecting it for their newly blended family: “We wanted to make it feel soft and homey—to add a little coziness. We wanted it to be very comfortable,” she shares.

When the Frients started the project, many sections were down to the studs, the remnants of a renovation begun by the previous owner. ey worked with Je Harting of GTH Architects and Newgard Custom Homes to change the interior oor plans, nish the basement and top oors, and increase the ceiling height across the main oor—just a few among many improvements.

It was Jeni who took the reins when it came to nishes and décor—in addition to her role as a mother, she is the founder of Grace and Hope Designs, an interior design rm inspired by the couple’s four daughters. Blending their styles was the focus of the project: while Je leans toward more traditional styling, she is known for preferring a bit more pizzazz. “I lived in the Southwest for 15 years. In Scottsdale, we liked a bit more ‘bling,’” she laughs.

Inventiveness and personality come through in the details, such as the custom furniture and window treatments throughout the house, and particularly in the couple’s eclectic art collection. Chicago-based still life artist Anna Pales is a favorite as is the custom oil and silver leaf piece by London artist Hobson they commissioned for the dining room. ough they primarily worked with Gruen Galleries, Jeni also did a lot of her research online: “ e Internet has really opened everything up—you can buy from galleries all over the world!”

Every room feels perfectly tailored to the family: the o ce, complete with metal “cockpit” chairs, (a nod to Je ’s time as an F-16 pilot during Desert Storm); the theater, where the family gathers to watch movies (musicals like e Sound of Music are favorites); and the kitchen, where they enjoy trying out new recipes together. e master bedroom, awash in what Jeni describes as “spa colors,” is a place of quiet retreat. “It’s so tranquil. With the view of the yard, which is so lush and green, we feel like we’re in a treehouse.” e couple also loves to entertain, so creating space to make hosting a breeze was key, particularly for their famous Christmas parties—this past holiday Jeni decorated nearly 20 trees for guests to enjoy, each a di erent color or theme to match the room that housed it. As fate would have it, the co-chairs of the Cooks’ Tour were in attendance and they instantly fell in love with the space. “It’s been wonderful working with them,” shares Jeni. “I’m so thrilled to be a part of it and help raise money for such a good cause.”

LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE!

EDITED BY KARINA KAVANAGH PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBIN SUBAR HAIR AND MAKEUP BY CONSTANTINE JAMES

It didn’t take long for Kathryn and Kelly Mangel to realize they shared a competitive drive. Both North Shore natives, the two met playing sports together in middle school and they have been teammates ever since. Today, Kathryn and Kelly are Team Mangel—the top-producing real estate team within @properties’ Winnetka o ce—in somewhat of a step up from matching jerseys in middle school. We recently sat down with the real estate gurus to learn more about their careers and get their insider advice for today’s buyers and sellers.

Why do you call yourselves the hometown real estate team?

We both loved growing up on the North Shore, were schooled locally, and couldn’t wait to move back to raise our children here. We have known each other since we were in middle school (sixth and fourth grades, respectively) and grew up playing sports together, which is when we both developed our winning attitude.

Why do people choose to work with Team Mangel?

We don’t like to speak for ourselves, since everything is all about our clients and their opinions matter most. Our LinkedIn and Zil-

low reviews speak for themselves. We focus on nding our buyers, sellers or renters the perfect real estate solutions for their family. As a client testimonial says, we “take the time to understand your needs and help you get to your end game.”

What advice do you give to sellers?

You have only one shot to make a rst impression in the market. It is a price war and a beauty contest, and you must win both! In terms of home improvements, we always recommend cleaning, decluttering, and painting. Updating kitchens and baths will also be helpful.

What advice do you give to your buyers?

Be smart and do your homework about the neighborhoods, schools, properties, and communities. You need to “love where you live” so it is important to do as much research as possible.

What are your favorite North Shore memories?

We’ve always felt that the North Shore is the best place to grow up. We grew up in the era of Risky Business, Home Alone, and e Breakfast Club—need we say more?

ere is nothing like riding your bike to school, town, Homer’s and the many beaches including Tower, Elder, Kenilworth, and Gillson.

What are your favorite places on the North Shore?

e Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe is one of our absolute favorites. We also love the beaches and the restaurants; Guildhall, Torino, Happ Inn, Lou Malnati’s, and of course, Homer’s are just a few of the places you might nd us when we’re out on the town.

What is the most important thing in your purse?

Our cell phones and portable chargers so we can always stay in touch with our clients.

What are the best new home inventions?

Quartz and Quartzite countertops are great because they can survive just about anything. Smartphone thermostats, alarm systems, and security camera doorbells are also on the cutting edge.

wenty years after the loss of legendary fashion designer Gianni Versace, destiny seemed to step in to create the perfect scenario for our annual fall fashion shoot. In collaborating with Chicago-based Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, the saying that “timing is everything,” couldn’t be more apt. Hindman’s auction of a private personal collection of 350 original Versace items, including clothing, accessories, and bags proved the inspiration for this year’s feature. e opportunity was timely as Versace (the company) recently opened a agship boutique on Rush Street just after Donatella Versace debuted Versace’s 2018 Tribute Collection.

Versace created many of the ‘90’s iconic fashion moments and literally “invented” the supermodel (think Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schi er, Helena Christensen, and Carla Bruni). Many of the rare items to be sold at “ e Genius of Gianni Versace: A Collection of His Iconic ‘90s Designs” auction (taking place on September 21) were the actual designs of garments and accessories used in important runway collections and ad campaigns from the ‘90s.

“ is single-owner collection was carefully curated by a gentleman who recognized the artistry, fearlessness, and talent of Gianni Versace. e trend-setting designs, paying homage to Versace’s classical European roots, struck a chord with the collector who went on to explore the many facets of the fashion house,” says Mary Shearson, Director of Luxury Accessories and Couture at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers. “What started out as a treasure hunt turned into a love and respect for Versace, his craft, and his designs. His love of Versace was known among salespeople and he often got rst dibs on iconic pieces, many of which were never worn.”

Access to such a rare opportunity meant the location needed to be every bit as glamorous. Innisfail—a gilded, statue-laden 1915 mansion at 275 Sussex Lane in Lake Forest was an ideal match (currently on the market for $7.9 million). Designed by David Adler and Henry Dangler for

TJoseph and Jean Morton Cudahy (of the Armour-Cudahy Meat Packing and Morton Salt Fortunes), the more than 13,000 square-foot estate and formal gardens evoke all the splendor of the Italian Riviera.

“Every detail needed to be perfect, down to the setting. I wanted our readers to experience what I felt when I held fashions that were created by Gianni Versace and worn by supermodels, and I am so grateful for this opportunity to honor the legendary designer,” says JWC Media Style Director Constantine James, who directed the styling, hair, and makeup for the shoot. He continues, “Our vision for this spread was inspired by archival photos from ad campaigns and runway shows from the ‘90s to recreate Versace’s “vintage” looks in a modern-day environment and pay homage to the visionary designer.”

Highlights include: Versace’s gold leather cut-out gown design worn by model Claudia Schi er on the Fall 1994 Milan runway; a black wool bondage dress (from Versace’s infamous “Bondage” collection) worn on the Fall 1992 “Miss S&M” Milan runway; the hot pink Moto Safety Pin jacket, identical to the one worn by Carla Bruni on the Spring 1994 Milan runway; silk tops from the “Miami/ South Beach” collection featured on Naomi Campbell on the Spring 1993 Milan runway and ad campaign; and the printed silk velvet “Canova” skirt suit from the Fall 1991 Milan runway (a duplicate of this suit has been included in the Versace exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City). Also making an appearance in the shoot were many of Versace’s oversize, dramatic, and intricately designed accessories including: Byzantine crosses; Medusa medallions; chain embellishments; and safety pins. While the world lost a fashion trailblazer in 1997, we hope this feature captures and helps preserve the eternal relevance of Gianni Versace’s visionary design.

e auction, “ e Genius of Gianni Versace: A Collection of His Iconic 90s Designs,” will be conducted on September 21. For more information, visit lesliehindman.com.

Tim Kaeding, the JEANIUS Behind MOTHER DENIM

e North Shore’s Tim Kaeding has storytelling in his genes.

WORDS BY ALLISON DUNCAN

When Meghan Markle made her rst public appearance with Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in September 2017, all eyes were on her denim. She wore MOTHER’s Looker Ankle Fray style in Love Gun, and the brand sold out of its stock in just three days. “Overall, you can’t go wrong with a high-waisted style, like the Insider or the Looker,” says Tim Kaeding, co-founder and creative director at MOTHER. He should know—there’s still a wait list for certain sizes of the style Markle made famous, and it’s cleverly marketed as “ t for royalty.”

From MOTHER Denim’s Fall/Winter 2018 Giddy Up Collection

Tim Kaeding

But MOTHER launched well before Markle and Prince Harry were the world’s ‘it’ couple when, in 2010, Kaeding and his co-founder Lela Becker were determined to do it all di erently. “I was inspired by the memories and experiences of growing up in the ‘70s— what we were wearing, what we were doing, and who we were getting in trouble with,” says Kaeding. “ e brand re ects the freedom to be un ltered, brazen and, above all, amusing.”

Kaeding grew up “all around” the North Shore area. Eventually, though, he moved to New York for school and 13 years later, departed for Los Angeles. “I think that growing up in the Midwest instilled a sense of kindness and hospitality, which has had a pretty big impact on the way I work with people,” he explains.

at same sense of kindness has made its way into MOTHER’s DNA. e name itself plays o the idea of duality and evokes both unconditional love and teenage rebellion at the same time.

e brand’s attitude and collections always present a juxtaposition of hard and soft, and it stands for having fun and not taking yourself too seriously.

And they mean it. When asked if there are any denim trends he’ll never pursue, Kaeding says, “ ere are often times that I think I will never do something, but then I end up doing it.”

e team at MOTHER believes there is personality to be found in unexpected places, and they’re storytellers at heart. “Once a year, we do a capsule collection where we design something outside of our norm,” shares Kaeding. “ is fall, we introduced Giddy Up, a western-inspired collection featuring fringe, tooled leather, rhinestones, and metal hardware with lassos. We are particularly excited about the Revenge on Superstition Mountain jacket and skirt set with a desert landscape print.”

Kaeding explains that Western denim and details have always gone hand-in-hand, having originated as work wear. In terms of what he wears to work? Kaeding has a uniform. “I’ll wear a chambray shirt over a white tee and pair with my favorite t from our new men’s collection, the Neat,” he says. “What else do men need

to wear? You never want to be the third guy in a room wearing a gingham shirt.”

Launched this spring, the men’s collection features three men’s denim ts—skinny, straight, and tapered straight—in four washes with names inspired by nightlife, like the Joint, the Neat and the Chaser. “As the women’s collection evolved, we started to use men’s jeans, patterns, and fabrics for a borrowed from the boys look,” says Kaeding. “We kept referring back to them and had so much built out in that area that it was only natural for a men’s collection to be the next step for us.”

ey’ve already seen a strong response in their launch partner, Ron Herman, where they have a dedicated space. e top sellers are the Neat in Step on It, the Running Mate track suit, and the Buster tees: Do Less, Sports, Pink.

What distinguishes MOTHER as a good pair of jeans, explains Kaeding is rst about t and then about fabric. “At MOTHER, we’ve honed our t to an unrivaled level and with fabric, created the perfect blend of softness and stretch,” he says. Rumor has it that the brand weaves in bers more typically used in knits and then treats them with fabric nishes.

With the men’s launch complete, Kaeding is now focused on the next season. He even jokes, “ ey are now,” when asked if his family is as passionate about denim as he is. But, separate from MOTHER, Kaeding does have his eye on a few favorites when he’s back in Chicago. “Straight o the plane, I get either deep-dish pizza at D’Agostino’s or Lou Malnati’s,” he says. “And, of course, Portillo’s for Italian beef.”

Kick o the autumnal equinox in downtown Winnetka for the 4th Annual East Elm Wine Walk.

WORDS BY KEMMIE RYAN

The merchants on East Elm Street in Winnetka sure know how to welcome the autumn equinox. For the 4th year in a row, the East Elm Wine Walk on Saturday, September 22, is transforming the East Elm Business District into a carefully curated culinary smorgasbord of ne wine and local cuisine—all for a fantastic cause.

“ is is the third year we will direct proceeds from the event directly to the Boys Hope Girls Hope organization, a nonpro t that helps scholars obtain a quality education while residing in its North Shore-area group homes,” says Debbie McMahon, co-chair and founder of the East Elm Wine Walk. “We team up with Tom Boyle of the Wilmette Wine Cellar each fall to produce the event. In addition to soliciting the wine merchants, he curates a wine for each stop that pairs with food o ered and provides a knowledgeable representative to speak about the wine being sampled.”

e walk typically features around 16 stops, creating a moveable feast of shopping, wine tasting, food pairings, and socializing. McMahon says there will be even more musical acts this year, plus a fun lounging area to savor the evening. “ is event is only possible with the support we receive from Tom Boyle, the Winnetka-North eld Chamber of Commerce, the Village of Winnetka, Compass Real Estate, and Northview Bank and Trust,” she adds. “It really showcases all the area has to o er.”

Ready for sweater and boot weather? We can’t think of a better way to get in the mood for fall and raise some glasses to a worthy mission.

East Elm Wine Walk runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 22. Tickets are $50. For more information about the annual walk, visit picatic. com/EastElmWineWalk2018. For more information about Boys Hope Girls Hope, visit boyshopegirlshope.org/Illinois.

SWIMMING TO THE DEEP END

Loyola Academy’s Malik Aro joins fellow students in welcoming the creation of new aquatic center.

WORDS BY TRICIA DESPRES

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBIN SUBAR

Like countless young people in the world today, Malik Aro never learned how to swim as a child. Originally from Nigeria, the water was a scary place for the young man, who was able to attend Loyola Academy thanks to the school’s Tuition Assistance Endowment program.

When he was a freshman at the renowned school, Aro was enrolled in a Learn to Swim class and was making great strides until one fateful day, when his attempt to go to the deep end of the pool resulted in him having to be rescued by his teacher and coach Stanley Breitzman.

And yes, that’s the moment when he could have quit.

But much like his fellow classmates, Aro continued on. And thanks to the encouragement from Loyola O’Shaughnessy Program teacher Joan Dowdle, Aro did get back into the water and ultimately took swim lessons with Dowdle’s cousin Jeanne Dwyer, the mother of Loyola alum and Olympian swimmer Conor Dwyer. And now, as he prepares to enter his sophomore year at the school, Aro is loving the water more than ever before.

“ is is the perfect example and a true symbol of just what our students are made of,” explains executive vice president at Loyola Academy Dennis Stonequist. “ ese phenomenal kids are always striving to better themselves in every way possible, and we support them in that e ort by always dedicating ourselves to educating the whole person.”

Loyola’s Tuition Assistance program bene ts nearly 24% of the

school’s approximately 2,000 students, awarding nearly 3.9 million dollars per year. And it is these students along with the rest of the enterprising student body who always have a way of looking toward the future of their school, a future that will now include a completely brand-new pool facility. e John D. Norcross ’54 Aquatic Center, set for completion in fall of 2019, will include a 40-yard stretch pool with a moveable bulkhead perfect for swimmers of all skill levels.

e aquatic center will be dedicated to the memory of former swimming, diving, and water polo team member John D. Norcross, who left a multimillion dollar estate gift to the school to complete the project after his passing in 2014.

“ ere has been an air of pep in everyone’s steps around here lately,” says Stonequist. “It really is quite a moment in time for all of us. ere is such a pride for every student when it comes to watching this project come to fruition. From the drum line to the honor students, everyone nds themselves in that pool at one time or another.”

With the completion time for the new facility still over a year away, the students at Loyola will utilize a number of area pools including the YMCA in Evanston and Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Glenview.

“A lot of very nice people have stepped up to help us and once the center is completed, we can’t wait to throw a community-wide celebration for everyone to enjoy,” he says

And as much as he looks forward to the new facility, Stonequist says that the memory of the prior pool will long live on.

“I spent four years swimming in that pool as a student and thirteen years coaching in that pool,” he says quietly. “And all the kids who learned to swim in that pool and who faced some of their greatest fears... well, it’s overwhelming to think about to say the least.”

Plastic Surgery Update: Revision Breast Surgery

Many women have undergone some type of breast surgery, either for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes.

Most of these surgeries are very successful, but unfortunately for some, either the initial outcome fell short of their desire or over time the breast becomes distorted or hard.

In the case of breast augmentation, the body forms scar tissue around the implants which is normal. But sometimes the scar tissue contracts making the implant feel rmer. is is referred to as a capsule. e appearance also becomes distorted. Other complications include bottoming out, fold malposition, wrinkling and rippling, and symmastia. With time, sagging of the overlying breast tissue is not uncommon creating a disconnect with the underlying implant. And of course, a woman’s breast naturally will change shape and contour as the body ages.

Natural conditions such as lax skin elasticity, thin tissue, and multiple corrective procedures often pose technical and special challenges.

If you are unhappy with the outcome of a prior surgery, a revision surgery may be in order. Patients need to understand that revision surgery is complex and technically demanding. ere are limitations based on one’s anatomy and what can be achieved.

Technologies have evolved over the years to help correct the described complications and deformities that can occur. e use of Strattice is a soft, natural product that is designed to reinforce weak tissue and to support growth of your own tissue. Derived from porcine dermis, it’s a strong and sterile product.

Strattice when used for revision breast surgery acts as an “internal bra” to support and hold the implant in the desired location.

Advantages provided by this internal support are:

• Provides coverage and support of the implant

• Signi cantly reduces the rate of capsular contracture

• Acts as an “internal bra” to give better support and control implant location

• Provides an additional layer to mask visibility of rippling and wrinkles

• Becomes viable tissue without scarring or brosis

e one drawback of Strattice is that it is expensive, but in my experience it is well worth the cost if it signi cantly cuts down on the need for future revisions.

PARTING WORDS

LOOK NORTH

EDITED BY DUSTIN O’REGAN / ILLUSTRATION BY ROBERT RISKO

What was the catalyst for your family’s philanthropic involvement in Lake County?

Our family foundation (Gorter Family Foundation) was a responsive foundation in that we would respond to requests from various charities. We continue to do that but about 10 years ago we decided to be proactive and more selective. After considerable research, we discovered there was a tremendous need in Lake County. Lake County is an unusual county—in the southeast part of the County there are wealthy communities but the north and west parts of the county have signi cant needs. We feel that education is critical to the country and we realized that if we focused our principal e ort on North Chicago’s education we could make a big di erence for the 3,500 students in that community.

Why education?

If you don’t have a solid educational foundation, you can’t really grow and prosper and I think there’s a lot wrong with our current educational system from Pre-K through college. If we can help North Chicago kids get a chance at a good education, this will open up better future opportunities.

Why is it important for donors to focus on Lake County?

ere is a need locally and one of the problems has been that many donors who live in Lake County tend to look South to Chicago. We’re trying to persuade people to look North and that’s our basic motto, ‘Look North because the needs are here too.’ e same needs exist in Lake County that are in Chicago. In Waukegan, North Chicago, and Round Lake, there is homelessness, drug addiction, medical problems, and issues in education. Many wonderful not-for-pro t organizations exist in Lake County that are well-run, well-respected, do a great job, and need support.

Can you describe North Chicago Community Partners (NCCP)—one of the organizations the Gorter Family Foundation supports and one where you are a board member?

NCCP started 10 years ago as an operating foundation with two employees. Today it has 40 employees, most of whom spend their time in North Chicago schools. It brings extracurricular activities and other services that are taken for granted in a place like Lake Forest or Lake Blu but due to budgetary constraints are not provided to North Chicago children. NCCP provides a whole host of services including: after-school programming; tutoring services; family activities; trips; etc… Jennifer Grumhaus who is the executive director has devised a program using the community school concept—that the school is basically the center of the community, but not just for the kids but for the parents and for the family too... making it all come together. It’s been very satisfying and e ective.

As NCCP celebrates its 10th anniversary, what are some of the achievements you are most proud of?

What are we most proud of? e fact that we’ve been accepted by the community as real players, that we’re not short-term—we are long-term, that we really care about the children of North Chicago, and we want to better their educational opportunities. I think they appreciate this, and working together with the teachers and the families, it’s been a very exciting 10 years.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to make a di erence whether it be in North Chicago or in their own neighborhood?

If you really want to make a di erence you need to focus. You can’t be all things to all people so select something that you really care about and become really knowledgeable about it—learn what other people are doing, make it a coordinated e ort, and put your heart, mind, and money into it.

Sheridan Road sat down with Lake Forest’s JIM GORTER to discuss his work in North Chicago and his philanthropic motto “Look North.”
