PUBLISHER’S NOTE

OUR MISSION

Dream

BIG Or Drive Home

“The future belongs to those who believe in their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Lynette Janac, Publisher/CEO

F

all is already upon us, yet it seems like just yesterday we were ringing in the new year! I remember as a child, a class seemed like a neverending hour. I would look up at the clock with such confidence that it was almost time for the bell to ring, only to be disappointed that the hand on the clock barely even moved from the last moment I glanced at it. And at the time, when the adults would say, “wait until you get older, time will pass you by…”, I never quite understood what they meant, until now. Many days I look at the clock, wishing I could turn it back, desperately in need of gaining back a few hours to get my task list done. I know technology has made us more efficient in many ways, but for me, all it did was make me more efficient at putting more on my plate, including this summer, which means I didn’t get to explore some of the amazing destinations we talked about in our summer travel edition (but I sure hope you did!). While I didn’t get to travel this summer, I did have the opportunity to explore South Florida while driving the sexy orange McLaren GT for a week. McLaren is as popular as ever, producing supercars that push the bounds of speed and exclusivity and I got to experience it firsthand. Truth be told, I am by no means the car expert, so I enlisted my friend Jonathan Krutchik (a performance car aficionado and a McLaren owner) to give me his take on the car as it compares to the many other exotic cars he’s driven in his lifetime, including Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche, and this is what he had to say. “In my opinion, nothing compares to the blistering performance of a McLaren. Plus, the car sports a gorgeous, exotic design, both interior and exterior, cool features like the dihedral doors and active aerodynamics and comfort features like 360º surround view, soft close doors - they basically thought of everything, especially with the 720S. And most importantly you will get a hypercar performance at a supercar price point.”

LUXURY VAULT

Don’t worry, you do not have to be a car expert to appreciate the speed, comfort and space this vehicle offers. Not only was the car so much fun to drive, I was amazed at the trunk space, so much that as you can see, I had to test it out myself! If you are an exotic car afficionado or someone who just likes to dream big, you’ll absolutely love this car! For full details on the McLaren and many others coming out in 2022, be sure to check out our special feature starting on page 26. As always, I hope you will enjoy reading this issue as much as my team and I enjoyed creating it! Be grateful, be thankful and be kind. Gracefully yours,

EDITOR’S LETTER ®

W

hat do magazines mean to you?

For me, magazines are an escape. I remember the excitement of my favorite magazines arriving in the mail and poring over the photography, stories and ads. Even as we’re immersed in the digital age, there’s something special about losing yourself in a hard copy of a glossy.

And now, what we could all use more than ever is an escape. The last 18 months have been a series of “unprecedented times” with tragedy striking all over the country, including on a local level. South Florida was rocked by the collapse of the Champlain Towers in Surfside back in June, and as big as Miami can feel sometimes, it’s amazing how many of us were connected to such a tragedy. The team at Luxury Guide USA was just as heartbroken as the rest of our community, and we mourn with those whose lives have been upended by the collapse. I hope as you flip through this issue that it serves as an escape for you from all the adversity we’ve witnessed in the past year-plus. It’s our special cars and yachts issue, and the pages are jam-packed with sexy roadsters and elegant vessels, starting on page 35. Getting in the cockpit of a car or the helm of a boat is an escape of its own, and trust me when I say our in-the-know writers picked some good ones for you all. As traveling becomes a little bit easier, we’ve highlighted amazing destinations near and far for the fall season (page 59). And who doesn’t love some retail therapy? Our shop pages (page 104) have some great ideas, from fashion and accessories to home design and toys for the little ones. As we enter the holiday season, please take care of yourself and those around you. And remember, it’s OK to give yourself a few minutes to escape! Luxuriously yours,

THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE

SAVORY Lovers MAPLE & ASH’S FIRE-ROASTED PRO SEAFOOD TOWER Key Ingredients: Seafood, garlic butter, chili oil Two-Michelin-star Chef Danny Grant redefines today’s steakhouse experience

at Maple & Ash, anticipated at the 27-acre city-within-a-city under development in Downtown Miami. Grant’s elaborate seafood tower, a collection of seafood roasted in Maple & Ash’s hearth, is a dream come true for all seafood lovers. mapleandash.com

Amanda Fraga began her wine journey at Florida International University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management and a minor in beverage management. Now, as The Genuine Hospitality Group’s beverage director, she innovatively trains staff through engaging “Wine Wednesdays.” For the Value - $15-$35 Ott Am Berg Type: White

Varietal: Grüner Veltliner Origin: Austria Price: $22.99

Why this bottle? The name of the white grape, Grüner Veltliner (grew-ner velt-LEE-ner), can be difficult to pronounce, but very easy to drink. Think pinot grigio with a little more character.

For the Moderate - $35-$75 Combe by Stolpman Vineyards Type: Red

Varietal: Trousseau

Origin: Santa Barbara, CA Price: $35

Why this bottle? Planted on limestone soils, this expression of trousseau is bright and smooth, and filled with aromas of mixed berries and spice. It's a light in style wine that can be served chilled— perfect for our year-round warm weather.

SWEET Lovers

CHICA’S RED VELVET CHURRO BOUQUET Key Ingredients: Cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, cinnamon sugar No meal at CHICA is complete without one of Chef Lorena Garcia’s over-the-top desserts, which celebrate the robust and vibrant flavors of Latin American cuisine and are as picture-perfect as they are delicious.

Produced in the Dominican Republic by the fifth-generation Brugal family, this recipe fuses the premium rum with maple syrup and apricot liqueur, adding a sweetness with hints of fruity and citrus notes. brugal-rum.com

For the Splurge - $100+

Vouette et Sorbée Blanc d'Argile

Type: Blanc de Blancs Champagne Varietal: Chardonnay

Origin: Champagne, France Price: $245 (magnum)

Why this bottle? Vouette & Sorbée is a grower in Champagne, which means that the wines are made with grapes they grew, unlike many large houses that purchase grapes or juice. You can think of growers like artisanal Champagne producers. In addition to having a great mineral-driven Champagne, it's even better that it's a magnum.

Being a custom home builder, Marc Julien identified the garage as being the most often forgotten, but also an area that holds huge potential. Garage Living is a premium garage transformation company that offers everything from flooring and cabinets to wall storage and garage doors. Need a car lift for your Ferrari? How about two? “The dirty, featureless garage is a thing of the past. South Florida’s most sophisticated residents don’t want their garage to be a sterile, uninviting space—nor a catchall for everything they don’t want in the house,” Julien explains. Garage Living understands the importance of a garage. It is more than a space for a car. It’s often a home gym, workshop or storage space as well. It’s time to lose all the clutter and make a fine room for your luxury vehicles. Each project is custom-designed, and the days of dusty, cluttered garages are over. After the initial white-glove consultation, it usually takes only a few days to complete the design and place an order. Now that you’ve got your wish list together, before you make your purchases, get the talented team at Garage Living to help you create the perfect parking palace for your new toys.

BEACH-Y KEEN

Beach clubs are lounge areas at the waterline, making boaters feel more connected to the ocean. Builders, designers and owners have gotten creative in outfitting them on yachts from about 70 feet on up, making the clubs as casually comfortable for adults and kids clad in bathing suits as they are for enjoying pre- or post-dinner drinks and entertainment.

WELLNESS ON THE WAVES While onboard spas were popular before, they’re even more important and indemand now. Some charter yachts have staterooms that convert to massage rooms, with crewmembers trained as masseuses. Others have dedicated massage areas and steam baths/saunas. Several large superyachts, meanwhile, have full-fledged, multiroom areas that rival the finest spas on land.

he discerning luxury client wants the best, and, furthermore, craves the “touchy-feely” experience of knowing exactly what they’re getting.

LUXURY GUIDE

You are widely known for working solely with Italian manufacturers. Why is this so? Innovative craftsmanship, tradition and standards of excellence— combined with our philosophy—make Italy the paragon of style, elegance and luxury. The Italian companies MiaCucina collaborates with are leaders and influencers in their field that are dedicated to continuously achieving excellence. Aside from top quality Italian kitchens, do you provide any other products? As part of our ongoing efforts to serve our customers, we also provide kitchen appliances, Italian bathrooms, interior doors and closets that align with both our customers’ desires and our core belief in providing exceptional quality. This is something that has evolved overtime being a trusted advisor and supplier to our customers. Our customers needed our help to complete these aspects in their homes, and we endeavored to find the facilities that could satisfy their demands and meet our rigid requirements. Why is MiaCucina also the right choice for those seeking luxury appliances? We are proud purveyors of the global, premium Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove brands. As factory-certified installers, MiaCucina is qualified to grant clients an additional year of full warranty on all appliances, offering yet more convenience and peace of mind to our customers.

Our expertly trained installers literally know every nut and bolt of the merchandise. This structure, with no subcontractors, allows for complete control and enables us to give our clients focused support at every stage of the project.

This makes it possible for our team to achieve a custom design that’s unique to the client’s needs and desired aesthetic. Being that your products are custom-designed and imported, what should customers anticipate in terms of lead time?

KEMO DUDDLE KEMO DESIGN INTERNATIONAL BY ROBIN HODES

W

hether on land or sea, every project the esteemed design firm Kemo Design International undertakes is created with a sense of timelessness. Specialists in residential, commercial and yacht design, KDI has Kemo Duddle at its helm. Duddle, who graduated magna cum laude from the prestigious FIU College of Architecture, also studied cruise ship design in Genoa, Italy, and has consulted Royal Caribbean on the design and space planning of its vessels. Never to be swayed by passing fads, he always plays the long game. “All of our projects are tailored to the clients’ lifestyles, but with continuity and a lasting value,” he says. Duddle is joined by Sir Alan Duddle, KC, who has served as creative director for such prestigious international brands as Cartier, Jaeger and Ritz hotels.

We often dismiss the latest rages… Rather, we focus on the tenure of our design concepts. – Kemo Duddle

What remains constant throughout your body of work? Whatever the project, KDI is dedicated to elegant, graceful and timeless luxury. We stick to clean lines and an understated aesthetic—there is fineness and sumptuousness in restraint. Our aim is to give every project its own distinct pedigree. What’s your stance regarding trends? We often dismiss the latest rages that sweep the international furniture markets, rather, we focus on the tenure of our design concepts. We create with longevity in mind. With such a diversity of projects, do you have a favorite category? Among residential, commercial and yacht design, each has its own specific requirements and demands—for example, selecting fabrics appropriate for residential or commercial use as the scenario dictates or making size and scale adjustments as needed for a yacht. Each project is uniquely demanding and we enjoy every task and challenge. We have no favorites! In what way can designing a private residence be compared to designing a yacht? Space planning—which is one of our specialties— is always of great importance… regardless of whether the project is a home, a small or large yacht, or a suite in a posh hotel.

What are some of your go-to furniture and décor stores/ showrooms? In Florida, we work with many wonderful, specialized dealers, including Jerry Pair, J Nelson, Stark carpets and Anima Domus. In London, we adore Tim Gosling, a talented custom furniture maker. And in Germany, our appreciation of the Art Deco influence takes us to Cygal. What do you find most gratifying about the work you do? There is nothing that means more to us than the long-standing relationships we’ve built, and the fact that so many of our client relationships have evolved into meaningful, enduring friendships. 70

How do you determine your color palettes? This largely depends on the location of the project. The colors we employ for a project in an urban setting such as London or New York might contrast with the ones selected for a sun-filled environment in Florida. Similarly, the tones used for a country club’s decor are likely to differ from those meant to evoke a “vacation feel” on a cruise ship.

Beyond Closets CALIFORNIA CLOSETS CUSTOM SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY ROOM BY ROBIN HODES

on’t let the name mislead you—California Closets doesn’t just deal in closets. With more than 120 showrooms across North America, including Miami Gardens, the company offers more than a place to hang your clothes and shelve your shoes. From wardrobes to wine rooms, libraries to laundry rooms, and so much more, they do it all. “We are way beyond just closet storage,” says Julie Shvedyuk, marketing and trade development manager. “We are the one-stop shop for all your home storage wants and needs.” California Closets has built its reputation as the leader in transforming spaces by providing top-quality products, offering luxury space management, and delivering outstanding service—and always with a focus on the customer’s distinct needs. “Throughout the whole process, we treat our customers with respect, patience and honesty,” Shvedyuk says. What makes California Closets standout? Our dedicated in-house teams of designers, production, engineers and installers all take such pride in their work. We all share a passion for what we do, and it shows. And our customer satisfaction and referrals attest to that. Our customer service at the Miami franchise is second to none. How does an organized closet directly impact one’s quality of life? When things are organized, we have quick accessibility to our items, which is a time-saver. If you can reduce your time spent getting ready—even by five minutes—there’s extra time for that cup of coffee, to catch up on news, beat the traffic and so on. How you start your morning often determines the mood for the entire day, so a space that promotes calm gets things off on the right foot.

How has the popularity of minimalism affected the organization industry? Minimalism has always been tied to our industry, since we are about reducing clutter. But with minimalism comes certain restrictions—whether creatively or space-wise—and that’s where we, the experts, come in. It’s great to have everything hidden, but where do you hide it? We help you achieve minimalist design by giving you functional places to put all your stuff. 78

LUXURY GUIDE

How does California Closets keep the process inbudget? We use our proprietary 3D CAD program in front of our clients, which generates the pricing as we are designing with them, so there are never any surprises. It’s literally a three-step process. 1: Call us to design. 2: We produce. 3: We install. At California Closets, we offer convenient (and free!) at-home and virtual design consultations. What trend are you seeing in terms of finish selection? Miami design is drifting from your standard white furniture and décor to warmer neutrals with sandy and beachy tones. And what are some of the “bells and whistles” available? Possibilities with us are endless! Sure, we have standard sizes and hardware for those who wish to be cost-conscious, but then again, we’re happy to push the boundaries to satisfy our clients. Whether it is a hidden entry, light emitting from every corner, double murphy beds surrounded by workstations, or anything else you can dream up, we will not let you down. Your imagination is our creation! What other parts of the home can clients get that California Closet touch? We have expanded our home storage to fit all homes for all generations. Most popular in the recent months has been the addition of the Murphy bed system frequently paired with custom cabinets, lighting and shelving to put into any little nook! Additionally, with the extra time spent at home, garage expansion has been a big hit! Our garage package includes custom tile floors, slat walls and cabinets that will hold all of those heavy-duty objects, bikes on walls and more, creating additional space for fun activities. Is there anything new on the horizon for California Closet fans? If you are an existing client and refer us to a friend or family member, you will earn $250 off and they will earn $250 credit towards any existing or future purchase purchases. We are growing our team, so we are looking for more designers to come on board while we look for additional showroom and factory space.

Smart Homes Require Smart Planning Avoid wasting dollars and headaches in the quest to make your home “smart” and get in touch with Audio One. With 25 years of experience and over 2,500 completed projects, providing world-class technology design and installation in high-end residential and marine settings for clients around the world. Audio One handles everything from A/V and automation to engineering and consultations, and more!

Why is detailed planning related to the implementation of smart home features necessary in the beginning stages of a project? Without a detailed plan, you may be heading toward obstacles later. During our pre-project planning stage, we have an initial meeting with our client to discuss their needs, ideas, expectations and non-negotiables for the project. We use this information to deliver a concise proposal that exceeds their expectation. Taking care of the details early will save both time and money. What is the importance of installing pre-wire for a home? Pre-wiring an entire residence is crucial to managing the technologies for Smart Home Solutions. Just relying on Wi-Fi for such common tech as tablets, laptops, cellphones, and smart TVs can result in network congestion, or even an outright halt in signal delivery. Wiring is a better networking backbone for bandwidth-intensive applications and technologies. It will make your devices function at their fullest potential. Why would you consult with AV integrators when designing outdoor living spaces? Creating an ideal listening environment in an outdoor living space is a challenge, as sound can get lost in the large area of a yard. The key is careful positioning of multiple speakers throughout the yard to cover the whole space—bringing in an expert makes sense when trying to accomplish this. Also, collaboration may be needed with landscape architects or general contractors to form a harmonious whole. And you don’t have to stop at a single space, creating distinct speaker zones is possible. What are the benefits for the collaboration with Architects/ General Contractors/ and Designers in the beginning of a project? The beauty behind collaboration is two entities developing two separate visions for a space and blending them together into one. Mirror televisions that disappear, and Ketra-caliber lighting systems are some examples of collaborative magic in function and form. But before actual work begins, all parties, must meet and determine what they want to achieve. Audio One is all about seamless collaboration with General Contractors, Architects, Designers, and other professionals. In our role as AV integrators, we are usually the first ones to begin a project and the last team to leave a job site. And, of course, our ultimate goal is client satisfaction.

Par t of the design process is to review and analyze what technologies make sense financially and how to best implement them.

SO SOUTH FLORIDA O BOUND O B Buyers ffrom across the h world ld have h their h i eyes on S South Florida real estate.. B CHRISTIANA BY C S LILLY

“Homes are going under contract as soon as they are listed; the median time to contract in June was an astonishing 11 days,” says Karen Johnson, president of Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors. For international buyers, Florida has been in the top spot for over a decade, and nearly half of buyers focus specifically on the Miami metro area. In South Florida, in 2020, 70% went to Miami-Dade, 26% to Broward and 2% to Palm Beach. And out-of-state buyers also have their sights set on Florida, surpassing even California, New York and Texas. Residents from those states are the ones packing their bags and heading to South Florida—according to the MIAMI Association of Realtors (MIAMI), 52% of out-of-state buyers in South Florida are coming from New York,

California, New Jersey and Texas. There’s a number of reasons that South Florida has been a coveted market: no income tax, record-low mortgage rates and pro-business policies. Plus, with a shift to remote work, buyers have greater control over where they can and want to live—data from Orbital Insight says that South Florida was the fourth most popular relocation destination during the pandemic. “With global vaccinations rising and unstable political situations around the world, we are seeing an increase in foreign homebuyers purchasing in South Florida,” says Jennifer Wollmann, the 2021 MIAMI Association of Realtors (MIAMI) chairman of the board. “Global buyers purchase in Miami because we are a world-class global city with better real estate prices than other similar global cities.” With a high demand and low inventory, that’s good news for local Realtors and home sellers.

Mind Your "Manis"

Clean Up Your BEAUTY ROUTINE If your beauty products are littered with hard-to-pronounce ingredients, it may be time to clean up your routine. We sat down with two industry pros to find out why people are taking an extra look at the ingredients in their beauty products. By Michele Marin

Lauren Johnson, Mindful Mani

Mindful Mani is a modern nail concept in Plantation merging conscious beauty practices and innovative design. Owner Lauren Johnson shares what inspired her to give a glam about clean and safe manis and pedis. mindfulmani.com

"You are what you apply to your skin" - Dr. Jeffrey Fromowitz "The proverbial saying ‘you are what you eat’ should be expanded to, ‘you are what you apply to your skin,’” says Dr. Jeffrey Fromowitz of Dermatology of Boca. “While our skin acts as a protective barrier, it is also a passageway to our bloodstream. Any product you apply to your skin affects your overall physical health.” Dr. Jeffrey Fromowitz, Dermatology of Boca

Dr. Fromowitz is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology and a fellow at a number of dermatological societies. From his Boca Raton practice, Dr. Fromowitz offers a variety of care, including laser treatments, laser hair removal, skin cancer treatments, eczema and psoriasis care, and more. dermatologyofboca.com

Unfortunately, the beauty industry is not tightly regulated. While Europe has more than 1,300 chemicals banned from cosmetics, the U.S. only has 11. In fact, Congress hasn’t revisited cosmetic regulations in more than 80 years. “Anyone can label their product as clean, organic or nontoxic,” Dr. Fromowitz warns. “Which is why it’s important to carefully check ingredients in your beauty products.”

What inspired you to create Mindful Mani? I wanted to create a concept that prioritized health as well as beauty, a self-care haven for women and men seeking a pampering experience without harmful and toxic chemicals. Your polishes are "10 free." What does that mean? Our polishes do not contain 10 of the most harmful toxins often found in other polishes: toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), camphor, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, parabens, acetone, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) and fragrance. How do you keep manicures safe? We do not soak hands in water. This is better for skin and ensures a safe service free from crosscontamination. What are some clean alternatives for clients who want long nails? We do not offer or remove any form of acrylic or dip acrylic powder. Apres Gel-X lasts up to four weeks, is odorless and does not require filing. We also use Japanese clear gel as a base to help strengthen our clients’ natural nails for a stronger foundation.

Inside the Brain: Advancing Care for Tumors S

ome 85,000 Americans will be diagnosed with a brain or spinal tumor this year, according to the National Brain Tumor Society. While about onethird of those will be life-threatening, even those that aren’t can cause pain, disability and poor quality of life. Enter the experts at Baptist Health’s Miami Neuroscience Institute. With an arsenal of innovative treatments and equipment at their fingertips — working closely with their colleagues at Miami Cancer Institute — they provide the most sophisticated and tailored care. “It’s important to have both skilled, Fellowship-trained surgeons and other subspecialists along with the latest technologies to ensure that we are giving patients personalized options that are best for them,” says neurosurgeon Michael McDermott, M.D., chair of neurosurgery and chief medical executive of Miami Neuroscience Institute. Not all brain and spinal cord tumors require surgery or are cancerous, Dr. McDermott says. If a tumor is slow growing and not causing symptoms, physicians may opt for imaging studies to monitor changes. And providing a sophisticated multidisciplinary approach means that there are usually numerous treatment options. Physicians may employ minimally invasive endoscopic procedures to reach tumors by going through the nose. They may attack the tumor with radiation or chemotherapy. They may cut off a tumor’s blood supply by blocking a blood vessel. Or, they may use any combination of techniques and methods. About 60 percent of patients have no symptoms, discovering they have a brain tumor when an imaging study is done for another reason. Those who do have symptoms may experience headaches, nausea, vision or hearing problems, seizures or balance issues, depending upon the tumor’s size and location. “One headache doesn’t mean you have a brain tumor,” Dr. McDermott says. “A headache that continues for days with

no relief from medications that normally help, or a headache in combination with nausea, vomiting or other symptoms should be checked out.” A headache that improves with vomiting could also be a sign of something serious. The Institute sees patients with all types of brain and spinal tumors, including primary brain tumors, metastatic tumors that have come from cancer in other parts of the body, gliomas, skull base tumors, ependymomas, cerebellar tumors, pituitary tumors, meningiomas and more. The most common type of brain tumor in adults over age 35 is a meningioma. It grows in the layers of tissue called the meninges that cover the brain and spinal cord. Usually, they are noncancerous, but they may recur after being removed. Dr. McDermott is considered the world’s number-one expert on meningiomas from 2010 to present by Expertscape, a physician-based organization that ranks physicians based on their impact on clinical research in their field. He has also received awards from several international medical societies for his research on tuberculum meningiomas and for his development of a grading scale that allows for standardized evaluation of a tumor and helps guide surgical decisions. Treatment options are always discussed, and decisions made, jointly with the patient, Dr. McDermott says. “It’s their body, not ours. We aren’t treating a diagnosis; we are treating a human being.” Miami Neuroscience Institute participates in clinical research trials and offers a full array of services, including physical medicine and rehabilitation; physical, occupational and speech therapy; dietary consultations; and support groups.
