It was all aboard for the orange blossom specIal locomotIve, the fIrst traIn to brIng snowbIrds to mIamI. by chelsea harrington On January 8, 1927, Miamians laid eyes on the glimmering steel sides of the Orange Blossom Special, the first locomotive to make its way to the city from New York. As a part of Seaboard Air Line Railroad, the Orange Blossom Special (launched in 1925) served an elite snowbird population, running only during the winter months and offering the ultimate in early-20th-century opulence: a club car, lounge, diner, nine sleepers, an observation library, valet and maid services, a barber and a manicurist, and even personal writing desks with orange-blossom-scented stationery. Although the Great Depression soon thereafter derailed the Orange Blossom’s operation, the luxury locomotive had quite an impact on Miami. The train influenced books, songs, and even restaurants, reaching all the way to today’s Collins Avenue, where Miami nightlife impresario Tatanka Guerrero launched the Orange Blossom restaurant at Boulan South Beach in 56 oceandrive.com

honor of the great train. “Orange Blossom, to me, is one of the reasons Miami even exists,” says Guerrero. “If it wasn’t for [Miami founder] Julia Tuttle convincing [industrialist and Florida East Coast Railway founder] Henry Flagler to build the railroads down here, then this wouldn’t have ever become a city.” And as this city continues to grow, it’s going to require a transportation infrastructure to match. To that end, high-speed rail service All Aboard Florida has plans for 16 new trains a day, zipping from Miami to Orlando in three hours and stopping in West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. The operation, with a delivery date of 2016, will be Florida’s first privately owned intercity railway and will include a 3 million-square-foot station set on 11.2 acres in downtown Miami. The group hopes the restaurants and shopping will evoke the glamour and luxury of its historic locomotive predecessor, but let’s skip that bit about the Depression. OD

FRONT RUNNER Cassius Clay celebrating his 22nd birthday in Miami Beach in 1964, with a cake decorated with a miniature boxing ring and a likeness of himself raising his arms in victory over the prone figure of opponent Sonny Liston, whom Clay would defeat only a month later.

Greatest Birthday ever Cassius Clay celebrated in MiaMi with a cake that foretold the future.

Before there was Muhammad Ali, there was Cassius Clay. In this jubilant 1964 snapshot, taken during his 22nd-birthday celebration in Miami Beach, the young Clay poses giddily with his cake, which featured a tiny, edible likeness of himself, arms raised overhead in victory. With his mouth joyously open in a yell, it would be easy to mistake Clay for simply an exuberant post-grad. But the boxer, as the world now knows, was a gifted pugilist who amassed an astounding 100 victories in the ring as an amateur boxer by the time he was 18. The summer after graduating high school, he even traveled to Rome for the 1960 Summer Olympics and returned to America with the light heavyweight gold medal. A closer look at Clay’s cake (which pales in comparison to the megagluten sheets presented nowadays to celebrities at clubs like LIV and Story) reveals his prowess in miniature: Sonny Liston, his formidable opponent in the following month’s Heavyweight Championship, is prone

and relegated to the corner. In fact, it was while training for this bout that Clay vowed to “float like a butterfly, sting a like a bee” against his competitor. The cake (or cake decorator) proved prophetic: Clay trounced Liston in the match on February 25, even as odds had him as the 7–1 underdog. After being declared the victor when Liston was too pummeled to continue at the start of round seven, the boxer proclaimed some of his most famed words. “I am the greatest!” he crowed to awed reporters and fans alike. Today, world-champion athletes still flock to Miami to celebrate milestones, although the cakes have become much more extravagant. Basketball star LeBron James fêted his 26th birthday at the Gansevoort Hotel with a six-foot-tall confection studded with 10,000 Swarovski crystals, 14k gold flakes, and five tiers of cake, including red velvet, vanilla rum, and guava… just try floating like a butterfly after eating that.

Letter from the editor-in-Chief

If you’ve ever lIved up north , you know that January is

Celebrating Ocean Drive’s October Men’s Issue with host Dan Marino at his Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza in South Beach.

an extension—or possibly an exhalation—of the crazy holiday season. Christmas and New Year’s Eve are both over, and yet there is a minimum of three months to go before things even start to thaw out. Not in Miami, where residents were touting on social media the tropical temperatures we were experiencing while most of the country was braving arctic-freezelike conditions. We’re ready to roll on 2015, and we are not looking back. In fact, while the whole world seemed to descend upon our town in December for Art Basel and the holidays, plenty of snowbirds stuck around into the new year to enjoy the best of what Miami has to offer—our weather, our culture, our food, our scene. And more will be returning next month for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, or in March for the Miami Open Tennis Tournament, the WGC-Cadillac Championship for golf, Ultra Music Festival, and Winter Music Conference.

There’s no slowing down in this town, and there certainly is no slowing down in growth for Miami. Ocean Drive is part of that growth; this month we mark our 22nd anniversary. We’ll be celebrating with our cover star, Evangeline Lilly, star of The Hobbit, children’s book author, and mom. She chose the paradise of Hawaii (where her hit TV series Lost was filmed) to put down roots with her family, so, much like anyone who lives here in Miami, she knows a good thing when she sees it. It’s a new year, and with that comes new stories, properties, and people. Take a look at our features on The Edition and The Thompson Miami Beach—both of which have only been open a few weeks. We look forward to spending many great times there. Happy anniversary to us; happy 2015 to you.

The ball drops, The Champagne is popped,

and yet another reason to celebrate begins: a new year, a brand-new start. We are all a bit overzealous in the beginning of January, are we not? Our list of New Year’s resolutions is always longest that first day, with a clean-eating schedule you’ve penciled in on your brand-new planner, or the goal to start running the Rickenbacker Causeway like all of those workout-savvy locals do. But as you start to think about happy hours in Brickell or tapas at your favorite little Latin spot, you realize something. Maybe a new year is a good place to start (but not necessarily stop) doing, eating, and drinking the things that you love—because what would living in Miami be if you didn’t let yourself enjoy its many splendors? And that’s what Ocean Drive is

here for. As the years go by, the pages of our magazine keep turning, bringing us to our 22nd anniversary this month. With another successful Art Basel checked off and our residential and retail neighborhoods growing in size and style, we want to recognize you, our community, as significant contributors to the grand city that Miami has become—and maybe show off a bit of what we’ve been up to recently to the rest of the world, too. As you flip through the pages of this Anniversary Issue, you’ll see we’ve done just that. We are inspired by the people and things that have made Miami the international sensation it is, and we’re celebrating it with each story in this issue. Let’s start with our cover star, for instance. The ever-striking Evangeline Lilly has been busy at work, finishing off her year with

the opening of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies in December and anticipating the release of her summer Marvel blockbuster, Ant-Man. We’re also taking a look at how Miami shapes the careers of local and international artists, telling you everything you need to know about the 305 in 2015, and showcasing the hottest ecoconscious luxury vehicles on the market today. If those aren’t reason enough to toast another amazing year in the Magic City, I don’t know what is. So here’s to 2015. Hope to see you around in the new year….

A graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, Touri is noted for her architecture, food, and still-life photographs and has won the prestigious award for Best Photography at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards ceremony in Paris several times, and the Photographer of the Year Award from the American Institute of Architects in 2009 and 2012. She shot the luxury automobiles in this issue’s “Electric Avenue” feature. So if money were no object, which one would she have driven off the set? “The Tesla,” says Touri. “It is elegant, sophisticated, and has some amazing safety and convenience features.”

Lauren Brown Journalist

Betsy F. Perry Contributor

Creative director, editor, and writer Ray Rogers is a frequent contributor to ocean drive, billboard, and instyle. He’s also the proud coparent of four cuddly cats and two chic bunnies, who are social media stars (follow them on Instagram @catnipandcarrots; they’re a pretty big deal). In this issue, Rogers interviews Sprint President and CEO and Miami pro-soccer advocate Marcelo Claure for “View from the Top.” “I loved hearing about his relatively humble roots and how his hard work, intelligence, and drive has propelled him to the top of his game—not his connections or family legacy,” says Rogers. “I shouldn’t have been surprised to hear he’s traveled to 125 countries— he’s as global-minded as Miami itself.”

Lauren Brown is a Miami native who moved to New York City over 15 years ago to follow her dream of being a writer. She’s been on staff at publications including cosmogirl and ok! and has contributed to dozens of outlets, ranging from glamour to seventeen to MTV. Also the author of five books, including the doggy divas: roxy’s rules, Brown reports on Fairchild Garden’s Splendor in the Garden benefit in this issue’s “Spirit of Generosity” column. “I love that Fairchild Garden is dedicated to educating local children about the environment and the science behind the property,” says Brown. “It’s such a unique, hands-on experience that Miami students are lucky to have access to.”

Betsy F. Perry is a creative editorial writer across all media platforms. Part of the team that created premiere magazine, she also served as a senior editor at cosmopolitan magazine and on-camera talent and producer at good day new york, and worked for 10 years at Bloomberg LP creating multimedia global news events. She explores the TMI culture of Miami in ocean drive’s “Parting Shot.” “Trainers are pretty much focused on you entirely, so I’ve shared a lot,” says Perry. “I don’t go to bars, and my hairdresser better focus on the scissors, so I tend not to talk when I’m in the chair, although I am happy to share with my mani/pedi-ist once they’ve done the painful stuff— they’re good listeners. Sometimes I wonder if anyone is really listening.”

Style tastemaker Tomas Maier at his Palm Beach boutique, which the designer likes for its “relaxing ambience, open windows, and ocean breeze.”

Tomas maier’s eponymous brand expands for cruise 2015, just in time for the south florida “winter.” by lauren finney Restraint, purpose, and simplicity are all words that can be applied to Tomas Maier the man as well as Tomas Maier the brand. Serving as creative director of Bottega Veneta since 2001, Maier has also had his own namesake brand since 1997. Beginning with this season, Tomas Maier (the brand) has entered into a partnership with Bottega Veneta’s parent company, Kering, to help expand the weekend-focused, casual-living line. continued on page 90

style tastemaker Light denim dress in dark navy ($495), light denim/grosgrain ballerinas in dark navy ($480), bracelets ($495 each), and Cuir Palms leather belt in black ($230). right: Tomas Maier’s canvas beach tote in toile-black/skyorange ($480).

Offerings at the Palm Beach store include Cuir Palms belts in black and cuir ($200).

Available now in his Palm Beach store, Maier’s Cruise 2015 collection is an exercise in simple, elegant living. “My concept was always about ‘time off,’” says Maier. “Easy styles that fold, as I don’t like hangers, and are versatile. I like to feel comfortable in what I’m wearing, and I don’t believe in overdressing.” This philosophy takes shape in utilitarian denim dresses, shirtdresses, leather skirts, and raw-edged peacoats, as well as his ever-popular knits and swimwear. Cruise was a natural starting point for this invigoration of the brand. “The beauty of cruise is that it arrives in November and is relevant until the spring,” says Maier. “The first collection I ever did for my brand was a cruise collection. It gives you the freedom to show things that work not only in warm climates, but are also wearable pretty much all the time, especially here in Florida. There is an ease of dressing in a cruise collection that corresponds perfectly with the Florida lifestyle.”

As for what’s new for 2015, Maier says, “We have also brought back our bags, which were short-lived before but developed a loyal following here in Palm Beach and in the Hamptons.” Maier has also introduced new categories such as wallets and key chains, men’s ready-to-wear, and men’s shoes and bags, all of which continue to exemplify the designer’s commitment to understated refinement and ease. Also available at Maier’s store in Palm Beach are his signature candles, made in collaboration with French parfumeur Diptyque, including the PB, which is “humid, tropical, breezy, and floral.” The boutique, which Maier likes for its “relaxing ambience in a courtyard with trees and flowers and for the open windows and the ocean breeze,” is an integral part of the highly cultivated brand. “I always like shops to be specific to a place and have a sense of belonging,” he says. “We like to be relevant to the clients’ lifestyles.” 38 Via Mizner, Palm Beach, 561-650-1221; tomasmaier.com OD

Outfitted in black leather shorts and a printed 1981 Lacroix blazer that could easily hang in Balmain’s current collection, Andria Mitsakos exudes that effortless chic only the truest of fashion icons can pull off. Lucky for Miami, Mitsakos—whose career encompasses international-travel public relations, fashion, and furniture design—recently opened Wanderlista, her shop at the Croydon Hotel in Mid Beach. After nearly 20 years traveling the world for her PR clients, curating a bit here and designing a bit there, Mitsakos was tapped to cocreate Dea Rosa, her line of luxury leather handbags and accessories, in 2012, and launch Wanderlista boutiques. The Miami outpost marks the third location, after seasonal shops in Mykonos and Santorini, along with the online commerce component, shoplatitude.com. Born into a stylish family—Mitsakos’s mother was an interior designer and her grandmother a shoe designer—Andria’s propensity for globe-trotting developed at a young age. “My mother always taught me that I should buy one thing from wherever we were,” she says. “I would always try to seek out a new designer. You don’t need so many things, just really special things.” These globally sourced “special things” now line the shelves at Wanderlista, where you’ll find the Magic City Capsule Collection, her latest Dea Rosa clutches. Other unique pieces range from fine jewelry from Greek designer Elena Syraka (Wanderlista is the only store to carry the line in the US) to gold-threaded frocks from New York couturier Jes Wade; turbans and hats from Greece’s luxury milliner Katerina Karoussos; futuristic shades from Will.I.Am’s Ill.i Optics (a Miami first); and a rotating selection of designer vintage from New York. “Shopping shouldn’t be an intimidating experience,” she says. “You should buy something because you love it.” For Mitsakos, her effortless elegance and to-die-for fashion sensibility come with a certain mind-set. “I haven’t worn a real bra since 1995,” she quips as she thumbs a black leather bralette from Fleur du Mal. “I never take myself too seriously. My big things are grace and confidence.” Hotel Croydon Miami Beach, 3720 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-938-1145; shop latitude.com OD

Dance Revolution

Now IN Its 11th year, the world’s largest floatINg daNce party, the Groove Cruise, Is craNkINg the edM froM MIaMI to the carIbbeaN. by jon warech The two things Miami does better than anyplace else in the country is electronic dance music and cruises, so it makes sense that the hottest dance party of the New Year combines them both. The 11th annual Groove Cruise, the world’s largest floating dance music festival, departs from Miami on January 28, sailing to the Bahamas through February 1. With more than 50 DJs mixing amid a top-of-the-line sound and light system, the Groove Cruise is the party to end all parties. Whet Travel, the team behind the event, will take over the entire Norwegian Pearl for three days on the water and two days on a private island in the Caribbean for a heartpounding, fist-pumping bash that will whet your appetite for Winter Music Conference (March 24 to 28) and the upcoming Miami March madness. This year’s Groove Cruise lineup includes Arty, Thomas Gold, Aly & Fila, New World Punx, Oliver Heldens, and crowd favorite Erick Morillo, who will perform an extended set at sea. “Erick Morillo has been a favorite among our ‘captains’ and team for years,” says owner Jason Beukema. “We’ve wanted him on Groove Cruise since 2008, but scheduling hasn’t worked. We are thrilled that he’s coming onboard.” “Captains” is the term used in the Groove Cruise world for passengers aboard this party express, and as expected, it’s a hot crowd of music lovers who are masters of a good time. “The crowd truly embodies beautiful, sexy, and, most importantly, mature people,” he says. “Once you set sail with the Groove Cruise, you automatically join the year-round Groove Cruise family. Our captains stay in touch throughout the year and even host their own meet-ups and events.” That’s how the Groove Cruise started in the first place—as a group of 125 friends cruising together in 2004. It’s always been about bonding over a love

to party, but now the social circle expands globally, with 2,500 captains from all over the world expected onboard this year. In addition to the world-class EDM performances, the trip includes everything from beach, pool, and theme parties to shore excursions, crazy sporting competitions, and sexy onboard fashion shows. For its efforts, the Travel Channel named the Groove Cruise the number-one place in the world “to get your groove on,” and Whet Travel was recently ranked the fourth-fastest-growing company on the South Florida Business Journal’s 2014 list. With all of their success, Beukema and company make sure to give back to the communities they visit. “Most people don’t associate music festivals or cruises with charity, but we have designed two amazing programs that both tie into Whet Travel,” he says. The Whet Foundation works in the Miami area, shaping the leaders of tomorrow through various youth programs centered on positive involvement in the community. Additionally, passengers bring clothing, shoes, and other goods to be donated to a local Caribbean orphanage. On every trip, the party breaks in order to participate. So while captains will spend these five days bumping and grinding to tracks from worldrenowned DJs—as well as enjoying the Norwegian Pearl’s bowling alley, 16 restaurants, 13 bars and lounges, casino, spa, pools, and fitness center—they’ll also be helping someone else. “Despite the nonstop music and partying, our amazing volunteers still wake up for our 7 am departure to wherever our destination donation program takes us,” Beukema says. Or maybe they don’t get up at 7 am—maybe they stay up until 7—either way, the Groove Cruise is the dance fever fiesta where everybody goes home a winner. The 2015 Groove Cruise sails from Miami January 28 to February 1; tickets are now on sale at thegroovecruise.com/miami. OD

Admired chanteuse Linda Eder has made a name for herself on the cabaret concert circuit.

Broadway Is Bright Tonight

The SouTh Beach Broadway SerieS BringS Three STage SuperSTarS To MiaMi, kicking off ThiS MonTh wiTh The legendary Linda EdEr. by greg stepanich People tend to think of Linda Eder as a theater person, but she begs to differ. “I was just a nightclub singer who met a guy who did theater,” she says. “I played this part, and that’s how I ended up getting into theater.” And while she hasn’t been back on the boards for a long run since her starmaking turn in Frank Wildhorn’s Jekyll & Hyde in 1997-’98, Eder, an all-in performer with a large, powerful voice, has built an enviable career for herself since then as one of the most admired chanteuses on what might be called the

104 oceandrive.com

upscale-cabaret concert circuit. This month, Eder plays the Colony Theatre in Miami Beach January 30 and 31 to open the inaugural South Beach Broadway Series being produced by Matthew Lombardo and Rick Murray. Also in the lineup for the series is Tony Award winner Betty Buckley (Cats) on February 27 and 28, followed by Billy Porter, who picked up a best-actor Tony last year in Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper’s Kinky Boots, on March 20 and 21. “Listening to Linda Eder sing is a religious experience,” says Lombardo, recounting how he was “mesmerized” by her Jekyll & Hyde performance. “Each of the performers in our series has the kind of talent we call God-given; it’s so special and so unique. With Linda, I could listen to her sing anything. And she can sing anything.” Eder, 53, began performing on the nightclub and casino circuit after high school. She made her first big splash with a 12-week victory run on TV’s Star Search in 1987. That caught the attention of Wildhorn, beginning a collaboration that led to Jekyll & Hyde as well as a six-year marriage, which ended in 2004 (their son, Jake, is 15 and “incredibly musical,” according to his mother). Eder’s discography dates to 1991 and includes 15 recordings, the most recent of which, issued on Eder’s own label (“I found out kind of late in life that I’m a bit of a control freak”), is called Linda Live. The Colony show will be based on that record and features songs from her earliest years ( Jessi Colter’s “I’m Not Lisa”) to Broadway (Mitch Leigh’s “Man of La Mancha”) and the Great American Songbook (Harold Arlen’s “Over the Rainbow”). She’ll be accompanied by a four-piece rhythm section led by Billy Stein, her longtime musical director. The show also will include Wildhorn songs (“Someone Like You,” “Vienna”) that have become staples for the singer, who enjoys an enthusiastic fan base in Miami. And surely audiences’ devotion is also because of Eder’s refusal to play the diva, as she’s been urged to do. “I’m a people person by nature,” she says. “It never occurred to me that I wouldn’t stand there at the stage door until every person had left, to take every picture, to sign every piece they wanted, to hear their stories. It’s just always what I’ve done. I could always only be myself, and that, in the long run, has worked in my favor.” Linda Eder appears January 30 and 31 at the Colony Theatre, 1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, 305-434-7091; colonytheatremiamibeach.com.

Art with A Buzz

Elliot MillEr’s chainsaw-carved sculptures receive a long-overdue spotlight at the Bridge red project space. by brett sokol

Untitled Abstract by Elliot Miller, 2002.

106 oceandrive.com

If you dropped by the studio of the late sculptor Elliot Miller, it was always a good idea to wear goggles. Wood was Miller’s chosen medium and a chainsaw his implement of choice. “He’d always worked with wood-carving tools, and as the work got larger, he had to use larger tools,” explains fellow artist Robert Thiele, who shared a studio space with Miller for nearly two decades, first in Opa-Locka and then in Brooklyn, until Miller’s death at age 60 in 2003 from complications during heart surgery. “There’s an innocence about his work that belies his traditional training,” Thiele adds. “There’s also a kind of adolescent recklessness, like a kid out in the woods just making models.” That modeling became increasingly abstract. While he was already renowned in Miami for his figurative work, including six-foot-tall Amazonian women intricately sliced out of black walnut timbers, Miller’s move north saw him exploring geometric forms. The results were no less striking: Segments connect and diverge to a hypnotic effect. Thiele says those designs were often determined by the specific building material he spied and, as the art theorists might diplomatically put it, “appropriated” while cruising past construction sites late at night in his pickup truck. In his final years, Miller had come full circle, returning to figuration and carving otherworldly animals he referred to as his “creatures.” For Thiele, now back in Miami and codirector of the Bridge Red Project Space, exhibiting this range of work is particularly satisfying. Since Miller’s death, “they’ve been locked up in storage and haven’t seen the light of day,” says Thiele. “I’m glad I have the opportunity to do something about that.” Elliot Miller’s sculptures are on view January 25–March 15 at Bridge Red Project Space, 12425 NE 13th Ave., North Miami, 305-978-4856; bridgeredstudios.com.

Casting a CritiCal gaze

Martin Margulies at NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. Behind him is a photo series called Untitled (Overpass) by Nathan Harger, 2007.

Martin Margulies has a simple criterion for adding a fresh purchase to his ever-growing body of photography—an archive approaching 4,000 works in size, stretching from Depressionera masters of the form such as Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange to today’s acclaimed tyros such as Barbara Probst and Alec Soth. “It’s got to hit me!” Margulies explains. A fiscally conservative approach may be the style he’s brought to his successful career as a Miami developer, building an array of condo towers and shopping complexes across South Florida while carefully avoiding the boom-bust cycle that has rattled so many other real estate players. When it comes to art, however, Margulies says he needs a visceral visual shock, one that stops him in his tracks. Only then does the intellectualizing begin. “If I think the idea is good, then I look at the impact it would have on the wall, which is where composition comes in,” he says. “On the other hand, if it’s strictly retina-based”—mere eye candy—“and I don’t relate to it, it might be as beautiful as a Monet painting, and I can respect it. But it really doesn’t fit into the collection.” One hundred and seventy-five photos that made Margulies’s aesthetic cut are currently on display as “American Scene Photography: Martin Z. Margulies Collection” at the NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. The museum’s director and chief curator, Bonnie Clearwater, hand-picked each photo (“It killed me to get it down to that amount from 300,” she says of her efforts to fit her choices into the museum’s space), honing an exhibition that tells the tale of not only the evolution of American photography, straddling both documentary and artistic aspects, but also the sweep of American history itself. Not least, it shows the development of Margulies’s own collecting eye. Walking through the exhibit, Margulies recalls the first photo he ever bought, at the 1992 Chicago Art Fair. He was floored by a nearly seven-foot-tall photographic portrait of a young woman taken by Germany’s Thomas Ruff. After 16 years of exclusively collecting paintings and sculptures, he instantly decided to diversify. “She was staring back at you like a continued on page 110

culture Magic city then. People were doing it for the love of the game. And they had intricate knowledge of not just photos, but the inner technical workings of cameras.” In contrast, he continues, “The other dealers focusing on sculpture and paintings didn’t really delve into it all too deeply. Their job was just to sell. They knew about their products, they knew about the movements behind those products. But they looked at photos as their poor brother.” Those days of bargain shopping are certainly over in our present post-Art Basel period. Yet while prices may have soared drastically, Margulies insists his own approach to the art of seeing remains unchanged. The advent of digital technology and the rise of the JPEG may nudge academics into spouting paroxysms of art world theory—but not Margulies. “It doesn’t really do much for me. Like Wade Guyton using a printer and getting $2

million for an inkjet painting…,” he trails off with a shrug. “I look at everything I can, without worrying about the derivation of where it came from. I’m not interested in methodology. A lot of the works you see here are vintage, but some are printed later. It doesn’t matter to me. I’m not doing this for investment. It’s all about the image.” He stops to correct himself: “In many cases, it’s not what the picture is, but what the picture is about. That’s an important distinction to make.” Best of all, he adds with a growing smile, there are no wrong interpretations. “You use your own imagination so every picture tells you a story, and that’s the fun of it!” “American Scene Photography: Martin Z. Margulies Collection” is on exhibit through March 22 at the NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, 1 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, 954-525-5500; moafl.org. OD

driver’s license,” he chuckles of the Ruff piece. “She was looking at me and I was looking at her…. You don’t analyze it. You just think, That’s someone I’d like to get to know better.” Intrigued by the medium, as well as his own response to it, Margulies moved from Ruff and his German contemporaries to the titans of American pre-war photography. From there, he advanced chronologically through the street scenes of Helen Levitt and the noir-steeped crime tableaus of Weegee into the post-war prosperity (and those it left behind) as captured by Bruce Davidson and Robert Frank, as well as intriguing urban vistas shot by Miami’s own William Maguire and Peggy Nolan. “The more I learned, the more I became interested,” Margulies says. The depressed state of the mid-’90s art market actually aided this kind of collecting education. “There was no money in photos

SHAKE IT UP

THE LION ING AT THE BROWARD CENTER IS A NOT-TO-BE-MISSED PERFORMANCE THIS MONTH. BY NATHANIEL SANDLER Anyone who has seen Disney’s The Lion King remembers “Hakuna Matata,” the infectious ditty sung by a charming warthog and a goofy meerkat. They were trying to teach the main character, a young lion destined for greatness, to go with the flow and not worry despite being exiled after his father’s death: Live in the moment, and have no problems. The musical, showing this month at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, is one wild and colorful way to get carried away and do just that. The show is a magnificent celebration of the full capabilities of a traveling Broadway stage production—masks, puppetry, and outrageous costuming illuminate an archetypal coming-of-age story told through song. The show has won more than 70 theatrical awards and counting—a pretty good argument that a stage just might outshine a flat-screen.

This self-described “global citizen,” who was born in Guatemala, raised in Bolivia, and has touched down in some 125 countries over the course of his 44 years, shouldn’t have any trouble pressing palms with his Kansas neighbors. But Claure has far more daunting matters to attend to. Last fall, reports surfaced that Sprint, the number-three wireless carrier in the US, had cut its 2014 earnings forecast by roughly $1 billion, and the stock fell more than 16 percent, to its lowest value since Japan’s SoftBank acquired the company in July 2013. But if anyone is equipped to turn the tide, Claure believes it’s him. The scrappy, hard-driving entrepreneur built Brightstar from the ground up, founding the company with some friends in Miami in 1997 and turning it into the largest cell phone distribution network in South America. “Miami gives you the appetite and the flavor to want to become a global company,” Claure says. “If you are a citizen of Miami, you are automatically an international citizen because of the diversity of people that you meet [here]. Miami is where many cultures mix and exist together…. If you asked me 10 years ago would I ever dream that I would be the CEO of a Fortune 100 company, I would have said that was beyond my capability, beyond a dream.” When Sprint came calling, however, Claure didn’t exactly jump at the opportunity. He balked when Softbank’s leader (and Sprint’s chairman), Masayoshi Son, first approached him. “I said, ‘I don’t think I’m qualified; you can find other people who have run carriers and can do a better job,’” Claure recalls. “And he

“MIaMI IS oNe of The MoST BeauTIful aNd Sexy CITIeS IN The world, wITh loTS of greaT dIverSITy.”—marcelo claure said, ‘No, the reason I want to hire you is that everything you do, you do to win. Your success and passion to be the best are what we need.’” While Claure has his work cut out for him—“It is a company that has been losing more customers than it has been gaining,” he admits—he’s already making big changes. Last winter, he undertook a major management shuffle that sent the then-CMO packing. “We’re applying the same concept as we did at Brightstar—coming up with basic ways to connect with the customers—and applying the basic principle that I learned: Make sure your customers find it easy to do business with you. We are going to offer simple plans that customers can understand.” Although his company is headquartered in the Midwest, Claure returns frequently to his home in Miami Beach to be with his family. “We spend a lot of time on the boat, and we’ll have dinner at Zuma and just spend time with the kids during the day,” he says. “Miami is one of the most beautiful and sexy cities in the world, with lots of great diversity.” Claure is also channeling his drive to win into the goal of bringing professional soccer to Miami. “I got in a discussion the other day with Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple,” he says, “and we started talking about no-brainers in the world. One of the nobrainers to Tim is Apple Pay,” the service that stores credit card information on your phone for quick, efficient payments. The other? “It makes no sense for Miami not to have a soccer team. It’s the most cosmopolitan city in the US, where the people love

and understand soccer. I will do whatever it takes to finally bring soccer to Miami.” Claure has a powerful partner in this quest: David Beckham, whom he calls “honest, hard-working, just a tremendous individual, and one who is committed to winning and committed to success.” Together they’re making progress. “It’s not years away; it’s more like weeks and months away. Both David and I are committed to bringing soccer to Miami.” OD

Shear happineSS Happiness in Miami often means finding happy mediums, that space between raging on South Beach and resting in the suburbs, the place between sensory overload and a Corona commercial. For Ryan Shear, principal in the Florida office of Property Markets Group, a global real estate acquisition and development firm with luxury buildings in Florida, Chicago, and New York, happiness was growing up in Coconut Grove. Now he is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations for various PMG developments, including projects such as Echo Brickell, Echo Aventura, Sage Beach, and Muse in Sunny Isles Beach. But life wasn’t always that complicated, and before there was work to be done, there was growing up in the Grove. “The Grove was, in my opinion, the best part of Miami,” he says. “South Beach was always South Beach, but I actually felt like the Grove back then was what Wynwood and the Design District now provide. It was that hipster, pint of beer at the bar, not-so-fancy scene.”

As a kid, Shear took advantage of everything Coconut Grove had to offer. He played football outdoors with his friends at Peacock Park and basketball indoors at Just For Feet, a now-defunct sneaker shop that had an indoor basketball court perfect for Miami kids of the ’90s looking to beat the heat. Coconut Grove was also a good place for Shear, a Ransom Everglades School alumnus, and his friends to be out and about on their own at a young age. The neighborhood was safe enough to walk almost anywhere, and CocoWalk, which opened in 1990, provided a hub for kids to congregate. “We’d sit around the CocoWalk fountain a lot, as weird as that sounds,” he says. “Johnny Rockets, which is now gone, was the corner piece near the fountain where a lot of people would meet. Our mothers used to drop us off with our beepers—that was my childhood.” Exploring the Grove on foot was fun for a while, but after Shear inherited his continued on page 120

Beach, and there were lines to get in here and there. That’s not what it [used to be] like.” As nightlife venues pop up all over town, Shear says Coconut Grove is returning to its roots. The neighborhood is growing, with developers changing the landscape but keeping the ambience that Shear loves. He notes that he “can’t go out somewhere without looking at the real estate,” and he likes what he sees. So do a number of his friends, who are now returning to the neighborhood to raise their own families. “I have a lot of friends who are moving into that pocket behind CocoWalk, near Coconut Grove Elementary School, in all those townhomes and little homes there,” he says. “They get priced out of living on the Beach, so they’re all moving here. They walk to GreenStreet cafe [lounge and restaurant], and they walk to lokal. I think it’s going back to how it used to be. It’s a more young, relaxed vibe.” These days, Coconut Grove is Shear’s happy place, where he can relish his past and also see a future. “The Grove has flavor; it has a lot of character to it,” he says. “I like to see life. I want to wake up and walk down the street to Peacock Garden café and read a newspaper. I don’t want to wake up, get in my car, and drive somewhere. It’s the only pedestrian area in Miami that has a great mix. It’s safe. There are good schools. It checks all the boxes.” OD

brother’s Mustang at age 15, he wanted more. A number of his high school friends grew up on Key Biscayne—“Key Rats,” as he calls them—while others wanted to explore the South Beach scene. With the help of a 21-year-old au pair—an exchange student who stayed with his family to watch over the kids—Shear was able to drive on a learner’s permit and see the city. “He was a crazy dude,” Shear says of the au pair. “But I’d drive to the Keys, to South Beach, everywhere, and I was a 15-year-old kid.” But home was always where his heart was. Friday nights meant dinner at home for the Jewish family, but the Shears opened their doors to everyone. “My house was the playhouse,” he says. “The best part about my parents was that they were always incredibly welcoming. In my late teens and early 20s, we used to have these massive parties, and they were great about it.” As soon as Friday-night dinner ended, Shear would bolt for the door. There were bars like The Hungry Sailor, Barracuda Bar & Grill, and Tavern in the Grove, which offered cheap drinks, a young college scene, and a relaxed vibe. But, says Shear, for a brief stint, Coconut Grove lost its identity. “The Grove growing up was T-shirts-and-shorts bars,” he recalls. “There was a time when I used to come back from college and it was slammed with people dressed up like they were going out to South

It’s a rainy Friday night in Miami Beach, and Jennifer Massolo is setting up her home bar for about a dozen guests. She’s hosting a blind gin tasting, and bottles of gin, from basic to premium brands, are hidden in brown paper bags, concealing the labels from some of the most discerning palates in town. The group scrutinizes the unidentified spirits—smelling, tasting, and swirling—until members are ready to appraise each one. “We all ended up loving the Beefeater and thinking that the Gordon’s was fantastic,” she says. For Massolo, it’s all in a day’s work as the founder of consulting company The Liquid Projects. She launched her dream job in 2012 after a couple of decades in the wine business, a career that started in her hometown of Vancouver, then shifted to Chile, and finally to Miami, where she produced the Miami International Wine Fair.

Massolo fell in love with spirits while driving through the Napa Valley in 2009, when her friend Nicolas Palazzi of PM Spirits, a well-known cognac bottler and rare spirits importer, called her. “He’s so passionate and protective of the traditional way to produce and bottle fine spirits,” she says of Palazzi. “It rubbed off on me during this conversation, as I was surrounded by vineyards, and that led to him helping me find a way to support independent distillers through his connections.” She parlayed her passion for imbibing into two major initiatives, both under the umbrella of The Liquid Projects: Spirited Sirens and Craft: Spirits & Beer. Spirited Sirens (spiritedsirens.com) is a consulting business that works with beverage producers to grow their craft spirits program, as well as being a blog focusing on travel and tasting experiences. Craft is an annual event that connects craft spirits and beer producers with the beverage trade and the public. Now in its second year, Craft will take over The Fillmore Miami Beach at the end of the month. “There’s no better way to connect with people than talking during a tasting,” says Massolo of the two-day event, which will have tasting tables for vendors and plenty of seminars. “You empower them with education to the point they feel comfortable enough to impress someone else with their knowledge.” She’s thrilled to see Miami’s interest in cocktail culture and small-batch spirits grow in the many new bars around town. As a self-proclaimed promoter of the “underdog,” or the small, independent producer of spirits and beer, Massolo prefers to drink in this category when she finds time to relax at her favorite haunt, The Broken Shaker at the Freehand. There’s a sense of responsibility to generate awareness, she says, as she likens it to the food movement: “We’re all asking, ‘Where does our food come from?’ Why not, ‘Where does our booze come from?’” Craft: Spirits & Beer takes place January 30 (trade) and 31 (open to the public) at The Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave.; craftspiritsandbeer.com.

Were you always interested in modeling? I was, and when the agent took a few Polaroids of me in the mall, I ended up booking a gig off of them and did my first campaign, in Peru. It was the first time I had ever flown out of the country. It just snowballed from there. It happened that fast? I did that job and I flew back on the day of my high school graduation—I literally got ready in the mirror of my dad’s car and walked in just in time to go onstage. After I graduated, I moved to New York that summer. How would you describe the genre of modeling that you do now? I’m in commercial catalog modeling, as more of a relatable, everyday, All-American girl, and working for companies like Spanx Red Hot Label—I’ve been the face of them for a while. I’ve done Izod, Callaway Golf, Sports Authority. I had the cover of Runner’s World a year ago—I love doing athletic stuff. Do you have one of those crazy model schedules? Usually you find out where you’re going about a week ahead of time. Last year, we did our [temporary] move to Kansas City, and I flew in from Majorca, Spain, from a job, drove my dog 24 hours to Kansas City for the move, and then the next day flew back to Spain for one day for a different client, and then flew all the way back to Kansas. Where is home now? Fort Lauderdale is home base, especially once Anthony retires, and I’m based out of Miami for work, but for football season, we live in Kansas City. How did you and Anthony meet? We got set up on a blind date at Sugarcane. I don’t know if I can say it was love at first sight, because he’ll probably make fun of me for the rest of my life, but there was definitely instant chemistry. Do you cheer for the Chiefs or Dolphins? It’s been a tough transition because we still have friends with the Dolphins, so we definitely root for them until we’re playing against them, but I’m a fan of whatever team Anthony is on. OD

All-AmericAn Girl

Sure, sometimes a modeling scout will stop a girl at a mall and ask about having headshots taken, but it’s rare to have that meeting launch a global modeling career. Yet for Fort Lauderdale–based model Cary Poole, that’s exactly how it happened. “I was discovered in a cliché way: At the Altamonte Mall in Central Florida, a woman came up to me and asked if I wanted to model,” the 5-foot-11-inch blonde bombshell says. One thing led to another, and she found herself working for brands like O’Neill, Macy’s, and Nike. Poole is also engaged to former Miami Dolphins tight end, and current Kansas City Chief, Anthony Fasano. Here she talks modeling, travel, and her gridiron allegiance.

Saving Our ParadiSe

Who among us hasn’t whispered “wow” when cresting the Julia Tuttle Causeway and seeing the infinite blues and greens of Biscayne Bay? Keeping Miami’s beaches and bay beautiful and swimmable doesn’t just happen—it requires vigilance. That’s where Rachel Silverstein comes in. She’s the executive director (and only paid staff member) of Biscayne Bay Waterkeeper (bbwk.org), the local branch of the Waterkeeper Alliance, a nonprofit group founded in 1999 by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that patrols and protects bodies of water around the globe through education and activist programs. Here, Silverstein talks about the nonprofit’s goals and why clean water is a necessity to Miamians. What is the mission of Biscayne Bay Waterkeeper? The Bay is a glittering jewel that is the basis for some amazing property values and recreation, and it’s the basis of our economy. It’s really why we live here, and we need to keep it clean and protect it. We’re also very concerned about the reefs that are just outside the bay and our whole watershed. What are the major threats to Miami water?

126 oceandrive.com

Our three big issue areas are ecosystem protection, preparing for sea-level rise, and ensuring a clean water future. That could mean anything from the Deep Dredge Project [in Government Cut] to flooding to construction projects that might be violating state and federal laws. The Port of Miami’s Deep Dredge in Government Cut will allow supersize vessels from the Panama Canal to dock here. Has the organization had to react to that? We have no problem at all with that construction project itself, and the goals of the project, but the dredging has been extremely damaging. We observed early on in the project that the barges were leaking, dribbling sediment all across the reefs. In June, we got reports from scientists and local researchers who were diving near the area that the corals had been covered in sediment. The Department of Environmental Protection found massive and profound sediment damage, which smothers coral and sea grass. Why should we care about coral? We’re one of the only cities in the world to have a reef this beautiful. It’s really continued on page 128

valuable economically for the dive boat operators, snorkelers, and tourists. Also, Miami Beach is looking at having to spend millions, maybe billions, of dollars in retrofits for sea-level rise and storm surge. Reefs are a natural barrier to storm surge, and right now they’re protecting the coastline from erosion. What have you done about it? We sued the [US] Army Corps of Engineers. Our goal was never to stop the dredging entirely; our goal was just to address what we felt were law violations. Two weeks ago, the Army Corps of Engineers said that they had struck a deal to pay NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) to move hundreds of these threatened corals out of the area. We got the corals moved, and we got the Army Corps to commit to do a better [job preventing sediment]. We dropped our request for an injunction, but our lawsuit continues, and we will be right back in court if we see more damage. How do you find out about violations? The community is our eyes and ears out on the water. It’s obvious why Miamians would care about the beach, but why the bay? In Miami, we have what I like to call a clean-water economy: Billions of dollars of prime real estate lines the bay, [and] tourists come here because we have beautiful clean water. Then there’s our fishing industry, our snorkeling industry, our paddleboard rentals. But economically the city also needs development. I don’t want to present the argument that all development is bad or all construction is bad. Some of it is needed to keep our city going. We just have to be very careful that we maintain a good balance. Regulations can sometimes increase the cost of a project, but, ultimately, they are protecting our way of life. What are some of your most successful programs? We have an app called the Swim Guide, updated daily. It’ll tell you how to get to your favorite beach, where to park, what kind of water sports are available, and then give you the latest Department of Water health-quality test, so you can see how clean the water is before you go swimming. What might raise a red flag? There are frequent sewage spills into the bay that don’t necessarily get press releases. We actually sued Miami-Dade County a few years ago over the chronic sewage spills. Hypothetically, what might our water look like if we didn’t have environmental regulations? We have one of the most beautiful industrial ports in the world, and that doesn’t come for free. That comes because we have really great water-quality protection that was set in the ’70s for Biscayne Bay, and it’s something that is continually being attacked and eroded. We’re here to make sure that it’s not. OD

Charity blooms at the annual splendor in the Garden benefitinG Fairchild Tropical BoTanic Garden. by lauren brown A model at last year’s Splendor in the Garden event. right: Cochairs Frances Sevilla-Sacasa and Swanee DiMare at the 2014 Splendor in the Garden event. below: The visitors’ center at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is world renowned for its lush landscape filled with tropical flowers and plants that you can’t find anywhere else. But many people don’t know about the intensive research and learning opportunities it offers to students—from elementary school to master’s degree candidates—including field studies, graduate and teacher development programs, on-site classes, and the vast Fairchild library and archives. That’s why philanthropist Swanee DiMare and Frances Sevilla-Sacasa, CEO of Miami Operations at Itaú Private Bank International, began cochairing Fairchild Garden’s luncheon and fashion show, Splendor in the Garden, in 2012. Both DiMare and Sevilla-Sacasa have worked on Fairchild’s annual Gala in the Garden, held every February for more than 20 years, but wanted to create a separate event that would specifically benefit education programs and support the science and research conducted at the botanic garden.

“A lot of the reseArch done At fAirchild helps the environment And the world.” They have witnessed first hand how the proceeds raised from Splendor in the Garden impact Fairchild from one year to the next. “We had our scientist working a couple of miles down the road from the garden itself, and our goal was to bring this scientist right on site,” says DiMare. “This is what we accomplished when we opened the DiMare Science Village.” The Science Village was named in honor of Swanee and her husband in 2012. “It’s a beautiful building with huge windows, so when children are at Fairchild, they can see the scientists at work. I get goose bumps when I see a busload of kids running through the garden. It makes me feel good to expose them to something so special.” Both DiMare and Sevilla-Sacasa have personal reasons for being so passionate about Fairchild Garden. Sevilla-Sacasa is a Miami native who lives just a bike ride away. “While Fairchild is one of the top botanical gardens in the world, it’s not as well known as it should be in our own community,” she says. “We need to understand what we have and preserve it, as a lot of the research that is done there helps the environment and helps the world.” DiMare became involved right after Hurricane Andrew wreaked havoc on Miami in 1992 and has continued on page 132

They even encourage all Splendor in the Garden attendees to take a tour before they leave so they can see for themselves how their contributions help beautify the grounds. “We always have a basket of flip-flops so they can kick off their heels and experience things like the butterfly exhibit,” says DiMare. That’s why holding a fashion show overlooking Fairchild Garden’s Pandanus Lake makes Splendor in the Garden such a remarkable afternoon—it merges all kinds of aesthetic experiences for a plethora of good causes.

And choosing those philanthropic women is no easy task. It’s something both DiMare and Sevilla-Sacasa consider very carefully, looking for individuals who have been supportive of Fairchild in a variety of ways. “It’s easy to write a check,” explains DiMare. “But sometimes you have to roll up your sleeves and go to work. It’s difficult to find people who do that, so we’re very fortunate.” Splendor in the Garden takes place January 14 at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables, 305-6671651; fairchildgarden.org.

Old FlOrida Made New She’S back! celebrated MiaMi chef Michelle bernStein returnS with the deliciouS and locally focuSed Seagrape. by lee klein

Among the pioneering chefs who set the table for our city’s cornucopia of great restaurants, Michelle Bernstein is the only one born and raised here. So when the Commune Hotels Resorts group needed someone to oversee a “Floridian brasserie” for its newly renovated, 380-room Thompson Miami Beach hotel, it turned to Miami’s quintessential chef to do the job. “Everybody says they’re a ‘Florida restaurant’ these days,” says Bernstein while seated in Seagrape’s sunny 267-seat dining room. “[But] 80 percent of our product [at Seagrape] is homegrown, and we serve only meats and seafood from Florida. Let’s face it, not a lot of restaurants can say that.” It isn’t only where the product comes from that accords the eatery its local flavor. “The cuisine is made for the people here,” explains the spirited James Beard Foundation Award winner. “We have healthier, vegan, let-me-feel-good-in-my-bathing-suit food.”

chef, 36-year-old Jason Schaan. Bernstein is quick to stress Seagrape’s collaborative nature and to deflect credit towards her team. She also confesses to taking something of “a Jewish mother, or maybe a Latin mother approach” (she is both) with them: “A little guilt and a lot of teaching.” The instincts kick in from the Latin side when it comes to the bone-in rib eye and other grass-fed Jackman Wagyu meats. “Maybe this is the Argentine in me, but if I’m going to order steak, I want the concentration to be on the steak. Maybe I’ll want some fries or mashed potatoes, but let me be the author of my dish. So I kept the steak menu à la carte.” After dinner, guests may choose to take A Walk in the Woods, one of Executive Pastry Chef Max Santiago’s artistically composed desserts.

from clumps of pistachio sponge cake that resemble moss. The forest scene is colored in with citrus sections, olive oil, and Maldon salt. Seagrape’s décor is more a walk into beachy 1950s Florida. Terrazzo floors, light oak woods, and Giò Pontistyle chairs reflect the past through a contemporary, pastel-tinted lens. A green marble-topped horseshoe bar provides the main focal point and proffers an eclectic array of cocktails, such as the bracing cardamom-lemongrass daiquiri. Bernstein is ceding the bar side of the business to Director of Beverage Michael MacDonnell, beverage consultant Julio Cabrera, and

especially partners Karim Masri and Nicola Siervo of KNR Hospitality Group (The Dutch, Quattro, Cavalli). “Their blood is nightlife,” she says. “They live it. They breathe it. And they also know about restaurants.” As does Bernstein’s husband, David Martinez, who partners with her on Seagrape, Michy’s, Crumb on Parchment, and the numerous other ventures she always seems to have a hand in. “I used to say to David, ‘If we ever do something again on the Beach, we’re going to do it big.’ And you can’t get much bigger than this.” 4041 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 786-605-4041; thompson hotels.com OD

MICHELLE’S MOTTOES ON KITCHEN TEMPERAMENT: “I try not to be nasty like I used to be, but I’m brutally honest.” ON SALMON AND SAFETY: “I got away from feeling that I had to have salmon on the menu. I don’t think I should be playing it safe at this point.” ON LESS BEING MORE: “The less I do to food, the better; I think that’s where I’ve come in terms of growth.”

There are vinegared heirloom vegetables aplenty in an escabeche that, together with an impossibly silky rendition of mashed potatoes, accompanies whole salt-crusted snapper. The flavors of the pristine filets are exquisite as ocean mist, quietly enhanced with a whisper of Oaxacan recado verde (herbs, olive oil, and lemon juice). Beyond the food being lighter and more vegetableforward than at Bernstein’s prior projects, the new restaurant is also buoyed by the youthful energy of 35-year-old chef de cuisine Steven Rojas, and by the Thompson’s executive sous

Executive Pastry Chef Max Santiago’s meticulously crafted desserts are eliciting gasps of wonder, yet it’s his sticky buns (above) that he’s renowned for. He claims to have produced “several thousand,” but he preaches “procedure” as being key. His tips? Under-proof the dough and don’t roll it too thin (1/4-inch is good), bake the buns closely to one another at a low temperature, and don’t allow much color.

The once-glorious MaTador rooM is reborn wiTh a new laTin-inspired Menu courTesy of acclaiMed chef jean-georges vongerichten. by juliet izon

Jean-Georges Vongerichten in the kitchen at NYC’s Nougatine at Jean-Georges. As to why he chose to open in the Miami Beach Edition, the chef says he “couldn’t pass up the opportunity to open restaurants at the best waterfront hotel in Miami.”

Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten may be Frenchborn (he grew up near Strasbourg, in Alsace), but the culinary star’s peripatetic nature means his food is anything but Continental. Stints in kitchens from Bangkok to New York to the South of France have flavored his cuisine with everything from tangy herbal vinaigrettes to the bright taste of fresh local vegetables. At his newest restaurants, Matador Room and Market, both located in Ian Schrager’s Miami Beach Edition hotel, Vongerichten draws inspiration from all over the globe to forge a cuisine that is uniquely Miami. At the more formal Matador Room, diners can feast on sweet pea guacamole with warm crunchy tortillas; Gulf white shrimp with “agua diablo,” banana, and almonds; or whole roasted local fish, with olive oil, sea salt, and fennel pollen, all with a Latin bent, while the Matador Bar features craft cocktails amid black walnut-paneled walls with an ocean view. Market, the more casual sister space, takes its inspiration from the multi-stalled and resplendent markets of Spain. From a variety of counters, it offers wine, charcuterie, gourmet pizza, and more. Here, Vongerichten talks about the genesis of the restaurants, his favorite Miami haunts, and why he opened in the Edition.

Tell us about the concept for Matador Room. We wanted to keep the glamour and charm of the original Matador Room [the restaurant inside the Seville Beach Hotel, which was demolished to make room for the Edition] and at the same time reflect and celebrate the culture of Miami today. We kept the original layout and restored the large chandelier in the dining room, which continues to be the focal point of the restaurant. The inspiration for the outdoor space comes from the Tropicana nightclub in Havana, Cuba. The menu takes inspiration from many places.

TasTe New for 2015 Miami in mind. Matador is a modern interpretation of Latin cuisine influenced by Spanish, Caribbean, and South American flavors. The seasonal menu, composed of small and large plates, utilizes a bounty of the freshest Floridian ingredients. And what was the inspiration behind Market? [The inspiration] stems from La Boqueria and other outdoor markets found in Barcelona and Madrid. Market is a marketplace-inspired restaurant and patisserie, featuring open counters and kitchens that serve eclectic and international fare. We want our guests to feel like they are walking into their own kitchen to satisfy a craving. What will that dining experience be like? At Market, guests are able to sit in front of the various stations. The space includes a beverage bar, pastry pod, cheese and charcuterie counter, raw bar, and an

open exposition kitchen. Guests can choose from a variety of options from each of these stations as well as a selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and more. You already have the fine-dining establishment J&G Grill at the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort. Why did you want to open another restaurant here in Miami? I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to open restaurants at the best waterfront hotel in Miami! What appealed to you about the Edition space specifically? The aesthetic, design, culture, and concept. When you’re not working, what restaurants and bars do you frequent here? Yardbird, Zuma, and Broken Shaker, to name a few. 2901 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 786-257-4588; matador room.com OD

South Beach by slicing into a 120-foot sushi roll. The force was strong in 2014, but as 2015 kicks off with a slew of recent openings and a few highly anticipated spots announced for the very near future, Miami continues to climb in the culinary ranks. These are the five new foodie destinations not to miss.

brand’s joie de vivre concept beyond meal times and into a 30-guestroom overnight experience in the former Boulan space.

The reawakening of STK at the opposite end of the eco-friendly 1 Hotel & Homes brings former chef Aaron Taylor back to the kitchen to keep the legacy of bite-size wagyu burgers and lobster mac and cheese alive while also placing a focus on locally sourced seafood and Miami-inspired dishes. “We’re pushing culinary this time more than the scene,” says Taylor. 2301 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-6046988; stkhouse.com

Clean Oasis: Temple Carnivores will be tempted to change their lifestyle when the plant-based sanctuary Temple debuts its second Miami location, this time in Wynwood, coming this summer. Three-time Ironman Olivier Jardon-El Hiny is the leading force behind the health-conscious and colorful South Miami eatery whose menu is fortified with (nondairy) magical milks, elemental elixirs, and energy pots. “We’ll blend and adapt according to the environment,” he says. “We want people to take time for themselves and give joy to the food they eat.” Wynwood location TBD; 5831 Sunset Dr., South Miami, 305-397-8732; temple-us.com

Eager Anticipation: Beachcraft Top Chef judge and cofounder of New York’s Gramercy Tavern Tom Colicchio will add Miami to his restaurant empire list later this year when his farm/sea-to-table concept Beachcraft opens in the same 1 Hotel & Homes property where STK is rekindling its flame. “We’ve been looking at Miami for a while,” says Colicchio. “It just so happened to be a ‘right-place, right-time’ sort of thing.” OD

The Drawing Room’s Saffron Sazerac layers the coveted spice with house-made bitters, small-batch bourbon, and dramatic pyrotechnics.

Mad About Saffron

THE BRAND-NEW DRAWING ROOM IGNITES FLAMES OF PASSION (AND FIRE) WITH THE SAFFRON SAZERAC—A MODERN COCkTAIL WITH AN OLD-WORLD TWIST. by galena mosovich After dark, the porte-cochère of the Shelborne Wyndham Grand South Beach embraces visitors with its seductive violet hues, a tribute to the storied glamour of the hotel’s midcentury past. Thanks to a $90 million renovation, the Art Deco gem has matured, as evidenced by its new signature cocktail bar, The Drawing Room. Mixology master Albert Trummer (formerly of Drogerie) is at the helm with potions he affectionately refers to, in his thick Austrian accent, as “medicine.” His old-world, apothecary-style bar is celebrated for its whimsical blend of Asian ingredients, fresh fruit, potent botanicals, pyrotechnics, and secret elixirs. Choosing a “cocktail prescription” may sound like an overwhelming feat, so we examined one standout—his enticing Saffron Sazerac.

156 oceandrive.com

Trummer’s Saffron Sazerac is a bourbon-based cocktail inspired by a pair of saffron-loving Michelin-starred chefs, Daniel Boulud and David Pooley, the latter of whom brought Trummer to America three decades ago to be a bar chef. In addition to being delicious, saffron plays nicely into Trummer’s apothecary theme, as the stimulating flowering plant was historically used in remedies to treat everything from headaches to depression. Further inspiration comes from another ingredient, the housemade bitters, which nod to the 19th-century druggist who developed the famed Peychaud’s Bitters at his apothecary in the Big Easy. Trummer first concocts a “saffron bourbon essence,” an infusion of eight herbs with a teaspoon of organic saffron valued at around $300 per ounce, and strains it into two ounces of Woodford Reserve small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, which is then shaken over ice. He adds a dash of house-made bitters before shaking again, this time more gently. He next rinses a glass with house absinthe (infused with Trummer’s “special herbs”) and pours in the drink over one ice cube. Finally, Trummer sets fire to the surface of the drink to extract the flavors and oils from the botanicals and to reduce the proof of the powerful spirits. The final flavor? The Saffron Sazerac is this South Beach alchemist’s drinkable masterpiece. The first sip brings an oaky and herbal impression, as sugarcane and molasses notes creep in on the finish. A flamed orange peel garnish allows the fruit’s oils to penetrate the drink and impart burnt citrusy-sweet accents and aromas. 1801 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-531-1271; shelbornewyndham grand.com OD

BEER GEEK JONATHAN WAKEFIELD HAS TURNED A DECADE-OLD HOBBY INTO AN EPONYMOUS BREWERY. BY CARLA TORRES The last thing Jonathan Wakefield imagined when his wife gave him a $50 Mr. Beer Kit was that it would beget a career change. Yet that’s exactly what led the home brewer to leave his accounting job and take an internship at the age of 35 with Cigar City Brewing. Hidden amid Wynwood’s graffiti walls, his J. Wakefield Brewing Company offers four flagship brews that are relatively low in alcohol and high in fruit. “We experiment with anything local and seasonal,” says Wakefield. Case in point: the Florida Weisse, which gained Wakefield a cult following (he raised more than $112,000 within days on crowdbrewed.com), and to which he might add passion fruit, mango, or guava directly to the fermentation process, depending on the season. “Like with food, people’s beer palates are evolving. In five years, Miami’s probably going to have 40 breweries.” 120 NW 24th St., Miami; jwakefieldbrewing.com

EvangElical Actress EvangElinE lilly is bAck in the spotlight with the lAtest instAllment of The hobbiT series, but this time Around, she’s controlling the wAttAge. by jon warech | photography by warwick Saint

here’s a level of honesty to Evangeline Lilly, star of the current film The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, that would induce an eye roll from the public if it came from some other actors. She thinks the paparazzi are “a plague,” Los Angeles has “an emptiness” to it, and she “did not enjoy [her] job” when she was starring as Kate Austen on Lost, the hit show that made her famous. But Lilly pads every bold statement with a remarkable amount of charm and punctuates her words with such an intoxicating laugh that it becomes impossible to hear her opinions and not take her side on nearly every issue. She can describe how she chooses her roles—wanting to contribute to the creation of her characters in order to feel as though she is doing more than just acting—and you understand that she’s not trying to be controlling; she just wants to have a little fun at work. “My forte in life is overcomplicating things and overthinking things and being much too deliberate and serious about everything while laughing my way through it all,” she says. She’s a bit of a Hollywood rebel, to say the least, choosing Hawaii as her home base, although she’s a self-described “nomad” who hasn’t lived in one place for more than six months in a very long time. “I’m kind of all over the place. [But] I don’t live in LA, and I never will.” Her life is filled with paradoxes that, just by being matter-of-fact about them, she persuades you to accept. It’s why she can say things like “I’m a bit of a loner, always have been,” and before you can ask how such a thing is possible for a successful actress in a schmoozy industry like entertainment, she continues, “Oh my God, I just took a big bite of peanut butter, and now my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth. I’m having peanut butter and red wine right now. How bizarre is that combination? So, yeah, I don’t know why I’m a loner.” It’s the charm of the gregarious introvert—a common Hollywood oxymoron—that allows Lilly to be a successful loner, with complete control of her career and the ability to make bold statements both on- and off-screen. On the Hobbit films, she gained the control she was looking for. “From the get-go, I was offered this opportunity to play a hand in creating her,” Lilly says of Tauriel, a character that didn’t exist by name in the books by J.R.R. Tolkien. “That process of creating Tauriel with [screenwriters] Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens and [director] Peter Jackson really changed my perspective on acting. Up to that point in my career, I felt as though acting was a bit of a backseat job and difficult to use as a creative outlet because I just felt like I don’t get to create; I have to perform someone else’s creation. As a person who is a writer at heart, that was always hard for me.”

“My forte in life is overcomplicating things and overthinking things and being much too deliberate and serious about everything while laughing my way through it all.”

The change in perspective even has Lilly seeing her Lost days in a different light. She looks back now, remembers watching whales breach the waters off the Hawaiian coast, and says, “There were those moments where you pinch yourself and you go, ‘Oh my God, this is my office.’”

hat the Canadian-born actress really had trouble with during those years was fame. “We’ve got lumberjacks and flannel shirts and pine trees and snow,” Lilly says of her hometown. “It could not be further from Miami culture, which is sleek and sexy and colorful and Latino and sunny and oceany and beautiful and blue and white. When I think of Miami, it’s almost like I would imagine it would be going to an exotic petting zoo.” As a child, she thought she’d be an internationally acclaimed kid author or “the first 16-year-old CEO of a multiconglomerate company.” Lilly never connected with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, but then the success of Lost and an off-camera relationship with castmate Dominic Monaghan threw her into it. “Fame didn’t fit well with me,” she says. “It just didn’t work for me.” But she has since figured out the whole fame game. “What’s happened over the years is I’ve had to find ways to come to terms with it and understand it in a new way, and not turn my nose up to it and think that it’s all sort of perverse and distorted. I had to learn not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.” She came to terms with fame (and now calls her time with Monaghan “a beautiful relationship that lasted for five years”) and in the process gained a confidence in navigating life, with the help of her partner, Norman Kali, who was a production assistant on Lost when she met him. “He’s a downto-earth, humble guy,” she says. “He helps remind me that none of this matters.” Most importantly, motherhood grounded her. “I spent a lot of time in the clouds,” says Lilly, who had son Kahekili Kali (which means “thunder” in Hawaiian) in May 2011. “Becoming a mother has really helped me put my feet on the ground and given me a very powerful sense of self and a powerful sense of priority in life. All I have to do is see my son to do that mental check that says, Is this really important? Do you really need to be doing this? Do you really care? It helps put everything in perspective when things get stressful or when there’s a demand or pressures on me. At the end of the day, it’s our family, it’s being a mother and a partner and seeing love all around.” This new outlook has led Lilly to a life in which she now calls the shots. She’ll act when she wants to. She took two years off between shooting the Hobbit films and Ant-Man, the Marvel flick she recently wrapped, to work on her writing career. During that time, she says, writing was “a 9-to-5 job,” and it spawned the first in a series of children’s storybooks called The Squickerwonkers, a deal for a graphic novel, and plans for another novel based on an earlier script she had written. “Believe it or not, I’m not kicking back and drinking piña coladas in the shade when I’m not working on an acting project,” Lilly says. “It’s a huge endeavor.” And she plans to have more kids—when she wants to. “What I wanted originally was six kids,” she says. “I frickin’ love being pregnant. I’m one of the lucky women who just had a blissful pregnancy, but I wanted to adopt four. My partner and I have really been through the ringer in the adoption world and it’s hard, so we’ll see what happens. Life is magically beautiful, and it brings you what is perfect.” Lilly will also get married when she feels it’ll benefit her family in some way, although she’s not rushing—and quite possibly never will. “Every other 16-year-old girl wanted to look at bridal magazines; I could not have been more bored with the notion,” she says. “I have an American son and an

“I can be charming even when I want to punch you in the face.” American partner, so marriage might logistically make sense at one point. My partner is a stay-athome father, so if he wants to be on my health plan, or taxwise, or maybe on paper we want to have our I’s dotted and our T’s crossed, but emotionally neither of us really feels the need for it. We love each other today, and we hope we’ll love each other tomorrow. In my world, I don’t believe in forever promises. I don’t think it’s realistic.”

illy makes no promises about the future of her acting career, either. “I’m a bit delusional, but every time I do a job, I think I’m retired,” she says, adding that Hollywood brings mixed emotions. “I love it for a time. I love the entertaining and to see the lights and the shows and enjoy the restaurants and see my friends who I never see, but there’s an emptiness that settles in very quickly. There’s no nature. There’s no trees. I fly into LA and my heart sinks, because I look at this vast landscape of concrete and I get sick to my stomach.” She stays away as long as possible, but “then some project comes along that just lures me out of my false sense of retirement, and I end up going off and shooting it.” Most recently, it was the anticipated summer blockbuster Ant-Man that lured her back on-screen, mainly because she was again allowed to shape her character and, well, Paul Rudd. “When they told me Paul Rudd was playing the lead, I was like, Hang on a minute, this is going to be so much fun.” And, of course, she was right. While on location in San Francisco, Rudd, Bobby Cannavale, and company spurned her plan for a cast dinner, opting instead for karaoke and a night that she’ll remember forever. “I had to go get pizza and liquid courage, because I’m not much of a karaoke singer,” says Lilly, who belted out “Dreams” by the Cranberries and “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence and the Machine so loudly that her voice was hoarse the next day. “It was one of my best off-set experiences.” Then, when the dog days of filming were over, it was back to writing books, which is an experience she enjoys for a completely different reason. For Lilly, writing is more of a grind than film but also comes with more of a reward. She’s highly regarded in both mediums, and that success allows her to live this life, have this family, and do it all on her terms. Eventually, though, she’ll have to pull away from what she calls her “cozy little insular writing world” and promote Ant-Man, but she does it now with a newfound gratitude for the entertainment industry. “If that means putting on sparkly shoes and dancing for the crowd, then that is what I do,” she says, “and I do it with a sense of peace now.” She’ll also talk to reporters and answer the same five questions about the movie and her haircut a hundred times. She’ll even answer the same questions about Lost. (“I love the ending,” she says. “I’ll never put myself in a ‘Jate’ or a ‘Skate’ camp,” referring to her character Kate’s two on-screen love interests, Matthew Fox’s Jack and Josh Holloway’s Sawyer. And to save you the trouble of reading it elsewhere, she adds, “There will never be a Lost movie with me in it.”) She’ll turn the press junket into a game, she says, and see how often she can make the journalists laugh. And she’ll do it all with a wink and a smile, because while Lilly may not be “Hollywood,” she certainly now appreciates what it does for her. “There are a lot of things that used to be frustrating to me that aren’t so much now,” she explains. “It’s just a mind-set of ‘It’s my job. That’s why they pay me the big bucks, because I can do that, because I can continue to be charming even when I want to punch you in the face.’” Of course, she follows that statement with a laugh, and of course, you just have to love her.

onspicuous consumption is easy. Conspicuous conservation—not so much. The very definition of conspicuous consumption has long been found on the streets of Miami Beach, where you’ll witness a players’ parade of the most expensive and luxurious cars in the world. Once it was the custom bodies of the 1930s and ’40s, then the Rat Pack-ish tail fins and convertibles of the 1950s and ’60s. Later, it was the blinged-out SUVs with giant speakers and monstrous wheels that were heard before they were seen on Collins Avenue. South Beach is simply one of the great cruising strips of the world, and our local valet attendants park the fanciest cars right by the doors, just as they do outside the casinos in Monte Carlo. But today, more and more, automotive prestige is tied not just to a high mph, but also to a high mpg. Being able to afford to save the planet is its own status symbol. In Los Angeles, that status might take the form of a Prius, but in Miami, you need that extra something special. Tom Musca is a screenwriter and professor who teaches in Miami, frequently works in Los Angeles, and often travels back and forth between the two towns. “On Rodeo Drive, you see the fashions,” he says of the Mercedes Geländewagen spotted one week, then Prius the next. “In Miami, you see a variety of spectacular show-off cars”—Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and Rolls-Royces. But over the decades, the qualities of vehicles have evolved, says Musca. These days, it is no longer horsepower but green power that counts. Automakers today are grappling to create the highest-end models that are just as clearly eco-friendly as they are powerful. “Expect the volume of hybrid and electric vehicles to slowly but steadily increase over the next five years, both in sales and the number of models available,” says Eric Tingwall, technical editor at Car and Driver. Miami Beach is where you can see the experiments—and the future. Perhaps the best publicized was LaFerrari, a car you had to be invited to purchase—for $1.4 million. With 950 horses, a V12 engine, and electric to boot, it was billed as the ultimate Ferrari. Only a handful were built, and all were sold to very-well-connected individuals before the car was announced. Ferrari chief Luca di Montezemolo described it as “the maximum expression of what defines our company: excellence,” and it radiated the engineering brilliance of Formula 1. If the LaFerrari has a rival, it is the lithe McLaren P1, which offers a mix of electric power and a 3.8-liter V8. It takes but an eye-blinking 2.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. In shape and visual attitude, it is a

combination of beast and spaceship. But as is often the case with pioneer efforts, the P1 has its limitations; a two-hour charge gives it a range of about 6.2 miles. That doesn’t seem to dissuade early adopters with deep pockets, though—the whole run of less than 400 cars has sold out, also at $1.5 million each.

n the other hand, you might not notice that the new Cadillac ELR is an electric—whether from the sidewalk or sitting inside, with an elegant stitched leather interior. But it gets a lot more electric miles than its rivals. Like the Chevrolet Volt, the ELR can operate on electricity for about 30 miles before the gas engine takes over. This happens without the driver needing to even be aware of it. “Cars like the BMW i8 and Cadillac ELR are the auto industry’s best hope for making hybrids desirable, sought-after cars,” says Car and Driver’s Tingwall. “They succeed by shifting the conversation around hybrids from CO2 emissions, miles per gallon, and pennies saved, to one that’s about technology, performance, and design.” Porsche is proud of its hybrid electrics: The company claims that the Lohner Porsche of 1899 built by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche was the first car using a joint battery-powered/electric and combustion engine system. Today, the company offers several models, with the top being the 918 Spyder hybrid. Its 4.6-liter V8 engine produces a top speed of 214 mph, and it lists for $845,000, but the limited run has sold out. Apparently you have to be on someone’s VIP list to even have the chance to own one. “Cars this interesting and this special only come around every 10 years or so,” adds Tingwall. An S E-Hybrid version of the four-door Porsche Panamera runs on a similar system, with zero to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 167 mph. Porsche has also recently added a hybrid version of its Cayenne SUV to the mix. The Cayenne SE-Hybrid sells for $76,400 and offers an electric top speed of 78 mph. Porsche’s clever engineers play some tricks with their systems. The Hot Lap button allows the driver to add the output of electric battery and motor to that of the gas engine. There’s also an option to recharge the battery from the engine while driving. With another mode, you can rather perversely pour all the energy saved from the battery into the system to get extra horses, for a burst of excess (environmentally irresponsible) power. McLaren’s P1 offers a similar system. Still on the horizon is Mercedes’s S500 hybrid, not yet sold in the US. The Mercedes-Benz S Class is the legendary top of the company’s line, and it has now been electrified as the S500 Plug-in Hybrid. The drive pairs a 329-horsepower, 3-liter V6 with an electric motor that generates 114 horsepower; the combined output is 436 horsepower. Engine and electric can be combined in a variety of modes: electric only, engine only, a mix of the two, or charge battery only. The car lives up

to S Class standards with a top speed of 130 mph, but its electric-only range is limited to about 20 miles. It will start around $105,000. There’s even a good old American “muscle car” in the works: the exotic Renovo, a limited-production hot electric hiding inside a classic Shelby Daytona coupe, with original Shelby chassis and body updated by original designer Peter Brock. Not to be outdone, Lamborghini showed off a future plug-in hybrid concept car, the Asterion LPI 9104, in Paris last September.

here is still a ways to go to get all car manufacturers up to speed, so to speak. And even the greenest of luxury cars cannot compare to a 50-mpg Toyota Prius. But in 2013, “the average new vehicle had a fuel-economy rating of 24.1 mpg, meaning a BMW i8 is more efficient than the typical newly purchased vehicle,” says Tingwall. Distinguishing themselves clearly from the crowd of supercars are the Tesla and the BMW i8. The Tesla looks like a very elegant car of the present—the body is graceful but not avant-garde. It was designed by Franz von Holzhausen, a veteran of Volkswagen and GM, who shaped the cunning Solstice sports car. Still, it’s the car to make a statement with. It may be to luxury electrics what Prius was to hybrids. Watch one silently push g-forces around a corner and you’ll be sold. With a claimed range of 265 miles, the Tesla Model S sedan seats four and can be recharged with the company’s proprietary system about twice as fast as other electrics. It has no gas “helper” engine to weigh it down; it is pure electric. Tom Musca bought a Tesla. “It performs as promised,” he says. Musca believes the change to electric drive is inevitable. “Once you’ve driven one, you will never go back,” he says. “Those who have not driven an electric don’t understand. It puts all the power at your fingers.” Acceleration is seamless and smooth in a pure electric like the Model S, compared to even the best mechanical transmission. It’s true sports car luxury, however you color it. As sound as the Tesla is, BMW’s i8 is a first: a green sports car. A British auto magazine called the i8 the first car to aesthetically express the idea of “future green.” It is the flagship of the company’s new “i” line with innovative carbon fiber bodies and plug-in electric and hybrid powerplants. The idea is to show that eco responsibility does not mean giving up the sort of muscular performance associated with the ultimate driving machine. The i8 looks futuristic and swoopy, with flowing lines and a characteristic blue glow seeping from inside, suggesting the electrical propulsion system. Sexy scissor doors, deep slices in the body, and floating panels make up what Senior Vice President of BMW Group Design Adrian van Hooydonk calls “layering design.” Underneath is the so-called efficient dynamics system, essentially a plug-in electric system with internal combustion assist—a scheme in principle not unlike that of the Chevy Volt. But the i8 is full of aerodynamic, material, and manufacturing innovations. The catch is that the car only gets 20 miles of range when running on electric. On the other hand, it goes from zero to 60 in 4.2 seconds and is one of the most gorgeous things on the road. Most of all, it looks like the future. Buy one, and that future will be now.

n 1927, on the bustling, cobbled streets of downtown Havana, Cuba, brothers Diego and Angel Alonso made a decision that would eventually change the face of downtown Miami when they purchased a fabric store named La Época. They had emigrated from Spain and were eager to build a new life in the steamy capital. Before long, the two brothers transitioned the shop to producing ready-to-wear, and La Época quickly grew into a veritable fashion force on the island. By the 1950s, their staff, originally a lean team of about six, had grown to more than 400, and La Época, now the second-largest department store in the country, was the trendiest shopping destination in all of Cuba. Times were good and business was booming until, in 1959, Fidel Castro came into power. A year later, La Época was forcibly confiscated by the government. Cut to 2015. Brian and Randy Alonso, the great-grandsons of the aforementioned Diego, have launched Lost Boy Dry Goods, a denim-centric clothing boutique inside Miami’s historic Alfred I. duPont building. Walking into the

shop, which opened last August, is a bit like taking a trip in a time machine through American culture. First, there’s the Colorado lodge-inspired décor—a rustic combination of Native American rugs, worn leather chairs, and nostalgic accents like rotary phones, phonographs, and even an authentic mining cage. Then, you have the store’s focus on blue jeans, the garment that might be more American than even apple pie. It’s a venture from a family whose roots in the retail business go back three generations, through political revolution, struggle, and, ultimately, success. Brian, the elder of the Alonso brothers, explains what happened back in Cuba. “Castro’s army came in with guns pointed at my great-uncle, Angel, and said, ‘Sign these papers. This store belongs to the people now.’ After he signed, they even took his pen. They said that belonged to the people, too.” The Alonso family fled to Miami, intending to return to Cuba once the political chaos subsided. Randy, five years Brian’s junior, adds, “A few years later, they realized that day would never come. So in 1965, my family set out to re-create La Época in this very building.” Diego leased space in the Alfred I.

learned how to ski, and many of the store’s elements—down to its hot sauce selection—continue to embody those traditions. “There was a store where we’d buy candy, and they always had hot sauce in the back that we could taste with pretzels,” Randy says. “So at our store, we feature hot sauces. But not just any hot sauce you can grab at Publix—really unique hot sauces from places like Key West and Tennessee.”

duPont location on Flagler Street, Miami’s original “main street,” ready to rebuild his empire with the help of his sons, Pepe and Tony (Brian and Randy’s father). Over the decades, La Época would see several reincarnations: In the ’60s, the store sprawled over the ground floor of the building, which featured an upscale women’s boutique and electronics shop. In the ’70s, the store boasted luxury brands like Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Chanel. In the early ’90s, after Hurricane Andrew ravaged South Florida, the store would shift to offer more economically priced brands, aiming to counter the decline in its tourist customer base as Miami residents—their homes destroyed—were forced to live in the area’s hotels. Most recently, in 2005, La Época moved into the nearby historic Walgreens building, the

That’s where Brian and Randy enter the story, navigating a new trail with Lost Boy Dry Goods, located just steps away from La Época. “We call ourselves a denim store, but we’re more than that,” Randy says. “We sell footwear, sportswear, swimwear, accessories, records, Herschel backpacks, even old phones and vinyl wallets. There’s even hot sauce in the back.” Inspired by the winters and summers the Alonso brothers spent as kids in Colorado, Lost Boy is named after the trail in Vail where the boys

he brothers’ rustic inspiration is woven throughout all 2,600 square feet of the two-story space. Randy himself designed the store, putting his Duke University degree in civil engineering to use by rendering the shop with 3-D model programs. The brothers then personally sourced the interiors, commissioning paintings of old presidents (a fascination of Randy’s), and scoring thrift shop finds throughout South Florida. On the building’s original brick walls are deer antlers from Texas, custom library shelves, and a rolling ladder. Reclaimed wood from Tennessee barns serves as dressing room doors, and an old baby grand piano functions as a workbench where the brothers often whip out raw cotton and books on the cotton gin to educate customers about the denim-making process. The result is a warmly weathered décor that tells the history of denim in America. “Trend-wise, we’re not trying to chase anything,” Randy says. “We’re aiming to create an experience as timeless as denim itself. You could go through any American revolution in the last couple of hundred years—whether it be sexual, political, or industrial—and, somehow, denim will be involved—like empowering women in World War II who were working in factories, while women in Europe were still [practically] wearing ‘Victorian’ clothing. Then came a completely different revolution 20 years later, with women starting to wear pants in the ’60s. And this is a garment that started out as a breathable, durable fabric to protect the bodies of men working in the mines.” While Brian oversees operations and finance, Randy handles merchandising and buying. By stocking more than 20 brands, ranging from higher-end Levi’s Made & Crafted, Diesel, and Prps to the more accessible Guess, Bellfield, and Scotch & Soda, the brothers aim to have every shopper find the perfect pair. Although Colorado inspired the look of Lost Boy, its soul is rooted firmly in the streets of Miami. Over the nearly five decades the Alonsos have been here, downtown Miami has certainly seen its ups and downs. In 2011, Brian and Randy’s father, Tony, began the Flagler Street Task Force, a group devoted to the revitalization of Flagler Street through the Miami Downtown

Development Authority, and brought in as a consultant Tony Goldman, the man behind much of Wynwood, for his expertise in building neighborhoods. When, two years ago, both Tony Alonso and Tony Goldman passed away within a month of each other, Brian stepped in as cochair to continue the revitalization process his father started.

urrently, Brian is a board member of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust and president of Dade Heritage Trust, while Randy is a board member and secretary of the Downtown Miami Partnership. To them, the involvement is about the city as a whole. “Whenever a friend comes to visit, we go above and beyond to show them that Miami isn’t just South Beach,” Randy says. “Between the explosion of the art district and all of the restorations of

the old MiMo hotels, I imagine the excitement is similar to that of the Beach in the late ’80s, when the fashion industry was coming in. And it’s fantastic that, with all Miami’s developments, people are preserving the city’s history along the way.” As for their efforts to make downtown more vibrant and relevant, things are coming together. “Over the summer, we secured the final portion of $13 million to redo the street,” Brian says. As part of the initiative, Flagler’s on-street parking will be removed to make the sidewalks twice as wide, improving the pedestrian experience and making room for cafés where the community can gather. Rows of oaks will create a shady canopy, and each intersection will have a railroad crossing that can go up and down as needed to close the street for events like farmers markets and concerts. “It’s a whole engineering process that will go from Biscayne Boulevard to the Miami-Dade

County Courthouse,” Brian says. “Even the sidewalks will pay homage to the city’s origins, with an alternating black-and-white pattern inspired by Henry Flagler’s railroad. It’s incredibly exciting for the area, and we plan to put a shovel in the ground at the beginning of the year.” Adds Randy, “We’re a young city, but we have a lot of depth to us. There are so many gems, especially downtown, that are underappreciated. With Lost Boy Dry Goods and our involvement in the area, we’re really trying to inspire people to shop local and grow the appreciation of Miami’s history.” For now, it seems, the arrival of Lost Boy Dry Goods is the beginning of yet another chapter in the story of the Alonsos, and one that future generations will look back on as part of a rich and overarching narrative of both a family and Miami. 157 E.

Barely a minute into the New Year, Miami is already growing to new heights and becoming a city with even more depth. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s going down in the 305 in 2015. by jon warech | paper SculptureS by paper work

SkyRise Miami is a 1,000-foot, $430 million observation tower that will feature a ballroom, amusement-parkstyle rides, and a nightclub.

a city had a New Year’s resolution, Miami’s would be: Do things bigger and better— again. Just as in 2014, another banner growth year, it’s a resolution we’ll have no trouble keeping. Miami is maturing culturally, structurally, and physically as neighborhoods are revamped, the art scene spreads, and new construction redefines the skyline. A city on the rise, Miami is headed for a big 2015, with change inevitable and growth seemingly guaranteed.

Art of the future It starts with art. It wasn’t that long ago that art was an afterthought here, obscured by the frozen daiquiris and all-night partying that made this town tick. But now, everyone from club owners to real estate moguls has a collection, and developers are heavily recruiting galleries and studios (by dangling cheaper rents in front of them) in order to give upand-coming neighborhoods a cool factor. In 2015, it’s art that gets the party started, and the scene is not just in Wynwood anymore. “In looking at the roster

of permits that have been pulled for construction in the past year, it’s easy to see why so many galleries and artists in Wynwood can’t afford the rent or won’t be able to for much longer,” says Karla Ferguson, owner/director of Little Haiti’s Yeelen Gallery, a 10,000-square-foot gallery and residency space presenting contemporary artwork. The entrenched will stay in Wynwood, but the rest are heading to surrounding neighborhoods neglected by real estate and cultural booms of the past. Like

81, and Panther Coffee’s scientist lab, among others. Places that were once shadowy outliers vaguely evident in your peripheral vision on the way to the airport are now destinations. This year will be the one in which you have dinner in Little Haiti or buy art in Little River.

Downtown hAs the Vibe A leader in the arts frontier is downtown, where Primary Projects has thrived since moving from

Downtown is one of the only places in MiaMi where there’s a real Metropolitan vibe.”—books iiii bischof neighboring Little Haiti, Little River is a raw yet ripe area, and it’s seeing galleries such as Guccivuitton and Michael Jon Gallery move in, while Allapattah has become home to the Gesamtkunstwerk project, which houses Butter Gallery (formerly of Wynwood), as well as Spinello Projects, Wynwood Radio, Product

the Design District. A multidisciplinary project space, Primary Projects has been a home for both established and emerging artists, and according to founder Books IIII Bischof, they fit right in. “Downtown is one of the only places in Miami where there’s a real metropolitan vibe; nowhere

else do you get to experience Miami as a city,” says Bischof. “There’s also an edginess to the area that allows you to feel a wave of change, whether in the arts, music, entertainment, or culture.” Cannonball, which also calls the area home, adds fuel to the fire with its residency program and adult education initiatives.

If You BuIld It, theY WIll Come If 2014 was the year LeBron James left downtown, then 2015 will be the year the art scene made it vibrant again. One area of downtown to keep your eye on is being dubbed the Arts & Entertainment District by some, while others call it WestEdge or SoWy. This near-empty section of town is spread over prime real estate just south of buzzy Wynwood and west of the Pérez Art Museum Miami and booming Edgewater. The amount of open space means it’s packed with potential, and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and the future Genting hotel/condo/ retail project (which may or may not include a David Beckham-run soccer stadium), just a stone’s throw away, have this neighborhood poised to bridge the gap between Miami’s hottest areas in 2015. It’s a place where one might scurry into a restaurant for a preshow prix-fixe, then walk across the street to catch a Broadway show or a concert. It’s why walkscore.com, which measures the walkability of major US cities, named Miami number five, just behind usuals like New York and San Francisco. Leading the way in the Arts & Entertainment District is NR Investments, the real estate investment company that owns Filling Station Lofts, the 81-unit development already anchoring the area, and Canvas, the coming 37-story, 513-unit high-rise that should bring elevated foot traffic to the hood. The area is already home to the popular Fredric Snitzer Gallery (formerly of Wynwood), and, as in any budding Miami neighborhood, there’s coffee.

Coffee Break Over the past year or so, 3:05 pm has become cafecito time in Miami, when locals break over a cup of coffee, a time that honors Pitbull’s favorite area code. (#305cafecito even has its own following on Instagram, thanks to official cafecito publicist JennyLee Molina.) It happens all over the city, but at the end of 2014, as a promotional tool at Filling Station, the 3:05 cafecito was regularly “on the house” in the lobby. It’s a new tradition that brings the community together, and for Ron Gottesmann and Nir Shoshani, principals of NR Investments, that’s how communities thrive. “The main idea is not to create a buzz,” says Shoshani, who estimates that in two to three years the A&E District will be the hot spot in Miami. “The main idea is to bring the people. Once they see what we see, they’ll buy into the idea.”

The new 4,200-footlong underwater tunnel connects MacArthur Causeway to PortMiami.

Miami is also reaching new lows— physically, that is—with the new underwater tunnel connecting MacArthur Causeway to PortMiami. It was Rolling Stone that predicted Miami would be underwater by 2030, and just in case it’s right, residents now at least have somewhere to drive. The culmination of 30 years of planning, the 4,200-foot-long, billion-dollar project diverts traffic to the port away from downtown, which needs the space for the arts and entertainment surge.

PeoPle are moving around in all sorts of ways in 2015, and city life is giving Public tr ansPortation a serious boost. The very successful bike-sharing program, DecoBike, scored its own “corporate sponsorship” from Citibank. Now rebranded as CitiBike, the thousand or so two-wheelers have been outfitted with the company’s blue logo at hundreds of dock stations across the city, with more downtown on the way.

ThaT’s soooo 2014 Ten Miami trends that are, like, so last year. Lebron James—after two rings and four championship appearances, Lebron took his ball and went home. We wish him luck trying to ride his bike to the arena in December in Cleveland. aDore—a Las Vegas club came to miami, and like many trips to sin City, it was over with little memory of what happened, because what happens in Vegas should, in fact, stay in Vegas. miami HeraLD buiLDing—The newspaper company itself is living large in Doral, but the waterfront property north of downtown is gone in 2015, making way for bigger, though better is debatable. Cabs—With uber and Lyft working at amazingly low prices ($24 est. from aventura to south beach), those yellow stink wagons are slowly working their way to the junkyard. PreTenDing To Work ouT—With all the various exercise facilities in sunset Harbour and David barton gym blowing up downtown, it’s offcially not cool to say you are going to the gym without actually going. HigH-TiDe FLooDing—alton road has been a construction disaster for what feels like an eternity, but it’s all worth it to not need a kayak to travel around south beach during high tide. CHeaP renTaLs—There’s a price to pay for being so popular, and locals paying rent are shelling out more pesos than ever for living in paradise. say goodbye to fnding deals in 2015, with small two-bedrooms south of Fifth renting at around $8,000 a month. LoCaL insTiTuTions—rapid change also means losing out on old faithfuls like the iconic Van Dyke Café on Lincoln road and brickell’s Tobacco road, which closed its doors at the end of 2014 after 101 years in business. DJ-onLy seTs—eDm is still big business in miami, but for those who still want to rock without a metallic taste in their mouth in the morning, spots like The Fillmore, railroad blues bar, Love Jazz at Lilt Lounge, ball & Chain, and Filling station offer a bit more tame, live music. sHoTs—With a rise in local breweries and distilleries, plus a newfound respect for cocktail culture, there’s no reason you need to sear off your taste buds and slam Fireball shots on saturday nights anymore. Though we get that need too sometimes.

miami, when locals break over a cup of coffee (#305cafecito even has its own following on instagr am). Standing on the balcony of a loft at Filling Station, even the least imaginative can look out at the expanse and see the potential. Even the Metromover, the last stop of which is just a block away from both of NRI’s buildings, is shedding its bad rap with new stops at PAMM and old favorites like AmericanAirlines Arena and Mary Brickell Village—super convenient for both Heat games and happy hour. It’s part of a transportation revolution in Miami, where car services like Uber, Lyft, and RedCap are taking over and our very own DecoBike recently got called up to the majors and became CitiBike, with new rent-a-bike locations from the Upper East Side to Coconut Grove. Driving yourself (not to mention taking a cab) is so 2014. People are moving around in all sorts of ways in 2015, and city life is giving public transportation a serious boost.

become a world-class locale in 2015. You can’t beat the views of the Atlantic Ocean or Biscayne Bay in Miami, but in a big city where life is vertical, there are usually architectural landmarks like the Empire State Building or the Space Needle that people rave about. At the end of last year, voters approved SkyRise, a $430 million 1,000-foot voter-approved (did you vote?) observation tower that could be our Eiffel Tower (should it actually break ground). It takes Miami into a new stratosphere—literally, as SkyRise will be behind only Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas as the tallest observation tower in the country, and figuratively because it features a ballroom, amusement-park-style rides, and a nightclub. Regardless of all that, you know you will be one of the first people up there taking a selfie from 1,000 feet.

Beer Here

And like it or not, it’s possible we’re about to become one of “those” cities—you know, the ones with observation towers. Seattle has the Space Needle, New York has the Empire State Building, Vegas has the Stratosphere Tower, and now lawmakers in Miami are back-and-forthing on SkyRise. The city itself is also reaching new heights, and it’s helping Miami

Even though some artists are stepping away from Wynwood, the neighborhood is hardly losing out. A tech scene and an upstart business culture are moving in, with rumors that Facebook is exploring office space. With young entrepreneurship comes the young professional’s drink of choice: beer. Wynwood Brewing Company has led the charge, while companies such as

J. Wakefield Brewing and Concrete Beach Brewery have just opened their doors. Boxelder Craft Beer Market has honed in on the retail side, selling craft beer to thirsty consumers. “The people who brew beer are creative, fascinating people,” says Nicole Darnell, who owns Boxelder with her husband, Adam. “It’s the same as artists. Wynwood is the perfect place for that level of creativity.” “It’s a liquid art form,” agrees Alex Gutierrez, manager of the Tap Room, inside Wynwood Brewing Company. “The culture here is amazing, and it’s a great environment for this business.” It’s all clicking for Miami in 2015, which is why Miami Beach is ensuring it stays relevant amid a sea of competition. New hotels in Mid Beach, like The Edition and the Thompson Miami Beach, are providing fresh hangouts for the social elite, and old favorite Shore Club is going condo, converting its 309 hotel rooms into 85 condominiums and 100 hotel rooms, with construction starting early this year.

sharks are the latest émigrés to south florida.

Miami is so on-trend, even sharks are getting in on the scene. The growing population of great whites off Cape Cod now seems to enjoy traveling our way and “sightseeing” off our shores (you can track the beasts at ocearch.org), and a 12-foot hammerhead recently sparked a beach closing nearby. We’re so popular among the toothy critters that last year Florida was number one in the country for shark bites (23!), according to the International Shark Attack File. Trending? #sharks. Of course, there are also manatees and dolphins, which tend to be a bit easier on the ankles.

coming to town are Manhattan elites like STK and Quality Meats. And finally, China Grill returns— crackling calamari salad, anyone?

The GreaT OuTdOOrs It’s not just the food and the architecture that are attracting greater numbers to Miami—‚nature is also part of our beauty. Case in point: The new South Pointe Park Pier, a $4.8 million, 450-foot walkway that opened at the end of last year, allows you to step off the edge of South Beach and venture out over the ocean to soak in what is arguably Miami’s most beautiful view. It’s an escape from the hustle and bustle (although just across the water lies the $60 million revamp of Fisher Island, cranes and all) and a reminder that even without Champagne goggles, Miami will remain the most beautiful city in the country for years to come. “Miami is at its prime, and our romance with the city only grows stronger,” says Primary Projects’ Bischof. “It’s exciting to contribute to her history and participate in this moment of exponential growth.” OD

Eat. SlEEp. CrEatE. rEpEat. Miami has a growing number of vigorous artist residency programs aimed not only at fueling creativity, but also the city’s cultural legitimacy. by hunter braithwaite

eople say Miami is a transient place as if that’s a bad thing. This city, like all cities, is built on the whir of people and ideas. Nowhere is this more necessary, or more vital, than in the art world. As artists fly in and out of Miami, a handful of local organizations are doing their best to let them stay just a little longer to, yes, create art, but also to impact the city’s cultural fabric. Kathryn and Dan Mikesell have decided to house artists in a leafy neighborhood a stroll away from Biscayne Bay. Their Fountainhead Residency, which operates out of a 1950s Miami Modern house in Morningside, hums at all hours, seven days a week, as artists from all over the globe paint in the garage, write computer programs in the living room, and hold potlucks in the kitchen. Since 2008, more than 300 artists have passed through, coming from places like

South Africa, China, and Estonia, staying for four to eight weeks, exposing their art to Miami’s palmfronded horizon. Travel is covered, as is shelter, “as is alcohol,” jokes Kathryn, who makes a point to press-gang the artists into a very busy social calendar. Those trips to parties and openings often lead to new opportunities. “The Miami artist community is very open and interested in communicating and potentially collaborating with residents,” says Dan. In lieu of payment, the couple asks for a token work of art. The Mikesells plan a year in advance, filling the rooms with artists whose work speaks to them personally, or who have been recommended by an intimate (if far-flung) art world coterie. Hew Locke, whose hanging installation of toy boats, For Those in Peril on the Sea, filled the lobby of the Pérez Art Museum Miami, stayed

WynWood original Alexis Diaz at Fordistas The Puerto Rican-born artist Alexis Diaz studied drawing and painting, but soon left the studio for the street. “Art is for the people,” he says, pointing out the fact that a city wall will be seen by infnitely more eyes than a painting for sale in a gallery. Today Diaz is internationally known for his surreal zoological mash-ups painted on city walls. For instance, in Vienna he painted a submarine made up of an octopus, a fsh, a bird, and a human hand. Although he travels constantly these days, a few months at the Fordistas Residency Program (fordistas.com) gave him some much-needed time to relax and refect on the past few years. “Wynwood launched my career,” he says of his experience painting a mural in 2011 that led to invitations to take part in international street art gatherings. “Wynwood is a place where hundreds of thousands of people acknowledge street art. People come from all over.” cargocollective.com/alexisdiaz

at The Fountainhead Residency. Kathryn says she’s looking for “an openness to diversity. You’re living with people you haven’t met. You have to be inquisitive.” But she equally may be talking about her adolescent son, Galt, and daughter, Skye. “Our children are seeing the world, first hand, through the artists’ eyes.” This interaction goes into overdrive during Miami’s busy season, when the residency spills over into the Mikesells’ home. “For us, it’s a way of life,” Kathryn says about putting up artists in her guest bedroom. “To bring people into our home is an honor.” This openness also extends to the community—visitors are welcome at the Fountainhead, although appointments should be made before popping in for a studio visit.

few miles to the south, in the diamond grit of Miami’s downtown, Chris Cook samples a microbrew at The Corner, the art scene’s watering hole, a stone’s throw from PAMM, across the street from CIFO (Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation), and downstairs from Cannonball, the arts agency that he runs. Cannonball began in 2003 as LegalArt, a legal advisory firm offering pro-bono or cut-rate help to artists. Since Cook took over in early 2012, the budget has more than doubled to $540,000, and the organization now also offers grants and hosts the Research.Art.Dialogue seminar series as well as a residency. Why expand a law clinic into a rooming house? “Miami, like any city, needs a constant infusion of different points of view, different ways of working,” says Cook. Upstairs are six units, constantly filled with a rotating group of artists, writers, and musicians, as well as an airy communal kitchen and a classroom. Each resident receives a travel stipend, monthly pocket change (between $500 and $1,000), a material supplies budget, and technical and administrative support. Cannonball’s residency is a blend of out-of-towners, who stay one to three

months, and locals, who live in the spaces for about a year. Says Cook, “The locals interface with visiting residents— it’s a benefit for everyone.” To him, that “everyone” includes Dade County. “When people come into town for a month, and they start to unpack Miami’s context, when they go back, they’re Miami’s ambassadors.” Like The Fountainhead Residency, Cannonball thrives off partnerships. One of the biggest is with PAMM, which sometimes houses its visiting Researcher-in-Residence at Cannonball. Some might ask why a museum is getting involved in the residency game. Emily Mello, PAMM’s deputy director of education and public programming, explains that “museums are interested in residencies for a kind of sustained engagement with artists that isn’t just about the final product.” The Researcher-in-Residence program brings artists, curators, and other creative professionals to Miami to develop or to reflect on PAMM’s programming. Examples include experimental curator Guillaume Désanges and Yemenwed, a rotating group of performers. According to Mello, the program asks how institutions can generate or cultivate ideas and not just house them. Over in Wynwood, Alex FernandezCasais and his wife, Bibi Pestana, partnered with South Florida Ford to create the Fordistas Residency Program, which focuses on local and internationally celebrated street artists, allowing them to live and work in and trade influences with South Florida and its local culture. “Miami is very inspirational; it’s a cultural epicenter,” says Fernandez-Casais. “To provide the opportunity for people with unique points of view to express their ideas of the city is very important.” For the 2014 program, street artists Axel Void, 2ALAS, Jufe, Pastel & Elian, Jaz, 2501, and Alexis Diaz were provided with a month-long residency to develop their work. At the end of the year, all of the artists come back to create a group exhibition called continued on page 207

Trash ColleCTor Toni Meña at The Fountainhead Residency Toni Meña was born in El Salvador in 1972 with “three dimensions in his blood,” as his grandfather was a longtime sculpture teacher. But it wasn’t until the artist returned home after a decade in Europe (he studied painting at the University of Barcelona) that his work took on its present form. Confronted with pollution clotting the once-pristine shores of his homeland, he began utilizing garbage as sculptural material. Using techniques of assemblage pioneered by Arman and other artists associated with Nouveau Réalisme (Europe’s version of Pop), Meña began gathering plastic, sorting it by color and look, and condensing it into what he calls “accumulations.” This fall, he brought 80 pounds of trash with him for his six-week residency at the Fountainhead, which provides artists with affordable, fexible studio space and, in some cases, housing. Those objects, and others he found while working on South Beach, will come together to form an installation looking at the ecological and aesthetic effects of foating islands of plastic in the world’s oceans. 7338 NW Miami Ct., Miami, 305-7768198; fountainheadresidency.com

group love Yemenwed at PAMM The rotating group Yemenwed is hard to pin down, shifting its focus and aesthetic from commission to commission. The art collective was formed by three artists (it now consists of six) in New York City in 2006; in 2014, they came to Miami three times as part of the Pérez Art Museum Miami’s Researcher-in-Residence program. One of the members of Yemenwed, Paul Kopkau, praised the residency, saying that it “has given us time, and more resources than we’ve ever worked with before.” Working within an institution has its benefts, and it also has its challenges. For its three visits, Yemenwed held a lecture, a lecture with a performance, and fnally, “Heavy Flow,” a high-production spectacle that imagines the tidal inundation of PAMM. It’s not acting out a fantasy, but rather responds to a long history of artists making works about museums. “We wanted to do something based on Ed Ruscha’s painting The Los Angeles County Museum on Fire,” says one of the members. below, from left: Yemenwed members Megha Barnabas, Melissa Ip, Busy Gangnes, Paul Kopkau, and Jonathan Turner (not shown: Shawn Maximo). 1103 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 305-3753000; pamm.org; yemenwedcom

Snowbird James Weingrod at YoungArts James Weingrod is more than happy to spend eight weeks making work in an “enormous, massive, infnite studio” on the YoungArts campus, where he was in residence this fall, especially because his art is all about space. The universe is the topic in this emerging artist’s work, which ranges from painting and drawing to sculpture and video installations. “I’m honored and humbled to be a part of this program,” says Weingrod (jamesweingrod.com), who splits his busy schedule between Brooklyn and Providence, Rhode Island. “I’m not an insular artist. I need to be inspired by people, by other artists making art. In Miami’s vibrant cultural landscape, I can do that.” 2100 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 305-377-1140; youngarts.org

The ArT of The Joke Packard Jennings at Cannonball Packard Jennings’s diverse practice examines popular culture in a number of humorous and subversive ways. He created a series of fallen rapper Pez dispensers, including death masks of Eazy-E, The Notorious B.I.G., and Tupac Shakur, and attempted to get Pez to manufacture them. (It declined.) In 2008, he distributed 80,000 copies of a replica of The New York Times with the hoax headline iraq war ends. Although the Oakland-based artist was unsure if he would enjoy Miami, he has extended his residency stay at Cannonball to continue several video projects. For one, he created a parody art residency orientation video for Cannonball that began by praising the neighborhood’s nightlife scene (Cannonball is located downtown near clubs Space and E11even), until the videographer witnesses a violent altercation at The Corner and then fees towards the Everglades. Jennings says that his stay at Cannonball is his most productive time in years. “I’m aware of how helpful residencies are in terms of clearing your plate, dedicating time to your practice, and relaxing, but I’m always surprised at how much work I actually get done.” 1035 N.

“Friends and Family.” The residency covers all of the artist’s expenses; additionally, the program takes care of all the promotions and marketing for the resulting exhibition. In return, the artist creates an affordable limited-edition item sold to benefit a local charity.

world away from urban Wynwood is a residency surrounded by sawgrass, sky, and alligators. The Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) program was started in 2001 by painter Donna Marxer and expanded several years ago, refocusing on contemporary art and writing. Today, there are 12 monthlong slots available for a live/ work studio with a screened-in porch. Unlike other residencies, AIRIE doesn’t provide a stipend, but it does connect visiting artists and writers with geologists, hydrologists, and other scientists doing work in the Everglades, a set of relationships that provide a “backstage pass” to nature, in the words of Executive Director Deborah Mitchell. AIRIE is quite competitive, fielding 87 applications in 2014 for this year’s schedule. While there are exceptions, the most successful projects consider the environment of the park in some way. For example, in April, the Brooklynbased photographer Alan Winslow is coming to shoot diptychs of local birders and the birds they follow. As part of the project, AIRIE is connecting Winslow with the Audubon Society. Typically, artists will present part of their work locally. One of the most potentially dynamic programs is just now getting off the

ground. Founded by Ted Arison more than 34 years ago, YoungArts is an arts advocacy institution for students that has helped mentor and shepherd about 20,000 alumni; its campus includes the historic Bacardi building and will boast a Frank Gehry –designed master plan. As it expands nationally, YoungArts has launched its Residency in Visual Arts program in Miami. Each year, three emerging or mid-career visual artists are selected to stay for three to 12 weeks. They are given housing and up to $10,000 to realize a project. At the end of their stay, the new art is displayed. The program is brand-new, but artists like Suzanne McClelland are already receiving the chance to work with the historic midcentury architecture. And with a new restaurant by Stephen Starr in the works, the campus, and the residency, is shaping up to be one of Miami’s most lauded. YoungArts is yet another example of an organization embracing the residency model. “I see us playing a role in increasing the cultural dialogue in Miami,” says President and CEO Paul T. Lehr. Jorge Pérez, whose Related Group real estate development company has partnered with YoungArts, seconds this. “This program is an important step in solidifying our legacy of bringing art into the community, building better cities, and supporting the growth of emerging artists,” he says. “Collaborating with YoungArts will give us a wider reach in supporting artists around the country, and it will enrich the local cultural landscape by creating a platform conducive to dialogue.” So there you have it. Time to mingle. OD

Ian Schrager returnS to MIaMI Beach for the fIrSt tIMe In 17 yearS wIth the grand MiaMi Beach edition. Ocean Drive StepS In for an excluSIve fIrSt look. by sean mccaughan

“I don’t believe in soft openings,” says Ian Schrager. The famous hotelier is standing in the lobby of his gleaming new hotel, the Miami Beach Edition, just days before its grand introduction to Miami and the world. Always a perfectionist, Schrager wanted the hotel to be ready before anybody saw it. He was leading a tour of the Edition, which, much like his beloved Delano farther south, was built in the preserved shell of a historic older hotel, in this case, the midcentury Seville by Miami Modern master Melvin Grossman. continued on page 210

Guest rooms are paneled in soft, light woods with ivory ceramic tile floors.

“They’re not really for ice skating and bowling. They’re for having fun.” —ian schrager The Miami Beach Edition is the latest hotel in a partnership between Schrager and Marriott, the giant hotel company. With just days to go, Schrager was furiously adding the final touches to his masterpiece. “We left a red ladder right in the lobby so everyone would know it’s not finished yet,” says Schrager. The ladder was a necessary reminder because, to anyone’s eyes besides perhaps Schrager himself, the hotel looked exceptional, with practically every detail obviously obsessed over to the nth degree. The lobby looks like a winter garden in a wedding cake: a gorgeous white space with marble floors, tall

Leafy green palm trees give the high-ceilinged white lobby the feeling of a winter garden.

ceilings, and gold-tiled columns—all original. Design team Yabu Pushelberg, which did the building interiors, accented the space with leafy green palm trees that give an otherwise grand lobby human scale, creating conversation areas and dividing up the warehouse-size space. “It’s one of the few hotels in Miami Beach where the lobby has an ocean view,” says Schrager. In the lobby—as in almost anywhere else in the hotel—up-tempo Latin music is always playing, arranged by Miami native Jauretsi Saizarbitoria and her mother, Totty. (Saizarbitoria’s grandfather, Juan Saizarbitoria, founded the popular Havana/ Miami hot spot Centro Vasco.) If anything, the lobby is reminiscent of the good old days of Miami Beach. The palatial, dreamy feeling is very present, except here you’re not on a Hollywood soundstage. Many of the Seville’s original details remain. The Matador Room, the original oval dining room and now the hotel’s flagship restaurant, is still oval and still has its original chandelier as well as a theatrical sunken middle section; it manages to be grand yet intimate at the same time. Schrager swathed the walls in wood paneling and let loose celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten to oversee the space as well as the hotel’s other dining options, including the adjacent Matador Bar, paneled in yet darker woods, and the Matador Terrace, set underneath an ipe wood trellis with climbing bougainvillea. The hotel’s original pool has been restored (and a second pool added). A decorative trylon, reminiscent of the one at the 1939 New York World’s Fair, which Schrager says originally was a sundial, has been restored and still stands proudly atop the pool bar. “We’re not done yet. We have layers to add,” he says of the

impending final details, like greenery around the old diving board, which has been preserved as a sculptural form. Outdoor lounging areas exist among a junglelike setting. An outdoor movie theater is being added. The talk of the town during Basel, the Basement is a lower-level entertainment zone with a bowling alley, nightclub, and small ice-skating rink, complete with a very small Zamboni ice-resurfacing machine. Although the hotel had none of these things originally on its lower level, they are all quite historically appropriate. Both the Fontainebleau Miami Beach and the Deauville Hotel had ice-skating rinks in the ’50s and ’60s. The nightclub is a “microclub,” says Schrager, who before his boutique hotel days was famous for being the proprietor of Studio 54. “It’s not really about selling bottles of liquor and things. It’s about serious dancing,” he says. As for the ice-skating rink and bowling alley, “They’re not really for ice skating and bowling. They’re for having fun.” All the bowling balls are stark white, and the bar takes center stage. “It’s meant for socializing.” The 294 guest rooms, which start at $429 a night (and can be double that price in high season), are paneled in soft, light woods similar to those in the Matador restaurant, with ivory ceramic tile floors and white marble bathrooms. There are also suites and poolside bungalows that go for thousands of dollars a night, some with private rooftop plunge pools of their own, while the penthouse clocks in at a very nice 2,300 square feet. The Miami Beach Edition isn’t just a hotel, but a residential project as well, offering grand hotel living, and the building is notorious for being the onetime site of the most expensive condominium sale in Miami-Dade County (although it has since been eclipsed)—a $34 million combination of two penthouse units. With interiors designed by John Pawson in the same warm, enveloping woods as the hotel rooms and the Matador restaurant, the 26 residential units occupy the top floors of the Seville tower as well as a new tower built behind it. Although the Residences at the Miami Beach Edition are very much a part of the hotel (one doesn’t pay monthly common charges of a considerable $1.47 per square foot to not be pampered half to death), they are still utterly private, with a devoted residential entrance for the building as well as a separate—and even more discreet—celebrity entrance for libertine comings and goings. Of course, the most important guest of them all is Schrager himself. “I haven’t felt comfortable in Miami hotels in a long time,” he says. “Finally I have a place to stay.” 2901 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 786-2574500; edition-hotels.marriott.com OD

Forty miles north of Nassau (and even closer to Andros Island), the long, undeveloped peninsula is being marketed as a future luxury resort, complete with development approvals already secured, but it could also be kept pristine and wild. The approved resort, called the Hog Cay Club, would include a hotel, beachfront villas, and a marina on 42 acres of “gently rolling land with open sea views to the tongue of the ocean in the south,” as well as inland waterways connecting a series of small islands populated by villas.

A tract on Cat Island in the Bahamas—which is almost exactly twice the size of New York’s Central Park and comes with 1.75 miles of white, sandy beaches—is on the market for $180 million. The property is preapproved for a 5,000-residentialunit luxury development, including an 18-hole golf course, hotels, shopping centers, church, schools, greenbelt, and bridle paths.

The Shore Club is going condo, receiving a partial conversion to residential use, with approximately 200 of the property’s 309 hotel rooms being converted into 75 one- to three-bedroom condominiums, many with ocean views.

disrupting the real estate marketing experience in Miami. Horacio LeDon: The buyers changed the landscape by finally being different from what they have been for the last 30 years, which has been historically South

American. The projects we’re doing bring a sensibility that New Yorkers and Europeans have an affinity toward. That has been able to decouple us from the market from a pricing perspective. But the buyer is pretty smart, so he’s not just falling for the fact that [a project is] on the beach [or

for] a campaign or a positioning that’s blasé. If you’re going to decouple, you have to actually bring justification to the table. William RichmondWatson: Buyers have also become a lot more sophisticated just because there’s a lot of inventory on the market. As a result, you’re having to speak to them in a much more sophisticated way. HL: We connected on what direction Miami was headed. Everyone has a star architect, everyone has an interior design worthy of mention, but the branding is

what really brings it to life. We’ve seen it across fashion categories for many years, and we’ve seen it in the hospitality space and in all the different luxury sectors, [but] it has eluded real estate. WRW: What’s unique about our approach is that we come from a place of de-cultured art—fashion, art, fine art, contemporary art—and bringing that sophisticated sensibility to real estate branding hasn’t really been done before. There’s so much competition, you have to do something very interesting continued on page 216

WRW: I’ve been staying [at the Shore Club] for years. It

During Art Basel, we had this amazing audience down here to tip the needle on what the perception of the Shore Club actually is.

EminEnt domain Big deal “The demand on South Florida is more real than it has ever been,” says Douglas Elliman’s Jay Parker, here at the Herzog & de Meuron– designed 1111 Lincoln Road parking garage. below: 50 South Pointe Drive, #3401, in Miami Beach.

From the WatchtoWer

Toronto native Jay Parker went to law school in Miami and built a real estate title insurance company in Miami Beach, before Douglas Elliman lured him away in 2013 to be CEO of the real estate firm’s Florida office. Here, Parker assesses the 2015 Miami market. Good news—he thinks it’s still growing. How do you see 2015 shaping up for real estate investments in Miami? I don’t think it will be particularly different than 2014, although there may not be as many significant grand slams. There are not as many opportunities out there today, so it’s harder to get the kind of returns you could get coming off the recession—10 or 12 percent gains are more realistic. How sustainable is the supply of wealthy foreigners willing to buy high-end condominiums in our city? The flow from Europe, Latin America, and Russia, as well as New York, is steady enough to satisfy that development opportunity. The question is what’s going to happen with the rest of the stuff, and where do those buyers continue to come from? Global currency is going to be an interesting factor [on the Miami market].

INSIGHT

The word on wynwood “I don’t think [Wynwood] is evolving as quickly as many people would hope. There is a lot of money being made there on people buying and selling on the hype. So if there were going to be real retraction, I think that Wynwood stands out very vulnerably.”

Do you see the condo bubble expanding or bursting? I don’t foresee a burst. Here we have a market that will only be built if a developer has satisfied a presale requirement threshold with significant deposits in place. If everybody closes on their units, then the worst that we can expect is a decrease in value. The demand on South Florida is more real than it has ever been. Are there still a lot of developers champing at the bit to put up new condo projects? I have no doubt there will be many projects that won’t be built—and that’s healthy; that’s okay. I have discouraged people from even engaging in the costs associated with launching a sales program if we don’t feel that their product will sell at this point. I tell developers all the time that if you can’t sell your project, then don’t build it this cycle; wait until next cycle. Don’t go out there and try to steer people to your project by luring them with things like inflated commissions or alleged discounts, because Miami doesn’t need to be on sale. What should investors be wary of in 2015? People have to be sensitive to their entry point. The cost of construction is continuing to rise, and the cost of real estate is continuing to rise. OD

Take a stroll through the grounds of the new Thompson Miami Beach hotel and you’re likely to feel as if you’ve entered a rare subtropical paradise. But the Edenesque quality of the landscape didn’t happen by chance. The grounds—with their sparkling water features, abundant native flowering plants, and wild date palms that seem to bow in gracious welcome—were placed in a naturalistic composition by Miami’s favorite landscape architect, Raymond Jungles. The lush environment is also one of very few designed by the masterful artist that can be seen by the public. “I’ve designed a lot of gardens that no one can see because a lot of my clients are private,” says Jungles, “but this one is a public garden that anyone can enjoy.” continued on page 222

eminent domain abode & Beyond The exterior of the 380-room Thompson Miami Beach. left: The hotel’s entrance leads to an open reception space that flaunts tropical glamour.

The guest rooms and suites at the Thompson feature midcentury international resort-style décor with 1950s-inspired beds and sitting areas.

Opened just last month, the 380-room Thompson Miami Beach recently underwent a multimillion-dollar rebuild by the London- and New York–based firm of Martin Brudnizki, the same interior designer who crafted the private Soho Beach House right next door, with its edgy yet cozy beach shack-cumEnglish library vibe. Creating an ambience suited for fun was part of the plan from the jump for the new hotel, the latest in Commune Hotels & Resorts’ expanding Thompson Hotels portfolio of luxury lifestyle properties. “We wanted to reestablish a sense of the

222 oceandrive.com

Beach glamour of the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s,” says Brudnizki, who worked on the project with his New York studio head, Craig Harvey. “At the same time, we wanted the atmosphere to be relaxed enough for people to feel at ease taking their shoes off and walking through the reception barefoot. So the interiors are elegant, but also informal, playful, colorful, and fun.” In setting the vibrant yet glamorous tone, the designers found inspiration in the hotel’s original Midcentury Modern elements. “We took cues from the Dorothy Draperesque plaster details and designed vintage-inspired rooms and

public areas with midcentury accents and furniture that we acquired at auctions and markets in England and the States and mixed with new custom pieces,” says Brudnizki. “We also used a fresh palette of off-whites, pale yellows, and greens with bold floral patterns to keep it playful. The result is like a beautiful mature lady whose age can’t be guessed.” The designers also worked with local architecture firm Kobi Karp to reconfigure the three existing buildings that constitute the hotel into one cohesive complex. By opening up connections between the structures, they

created a gracious flow among the public areas, which include a doubleheight reception lobby; a library; indoor/outdoor restaurants; Crown Room, a bar serving rare spirits and fine wines; a late-night lounge; a spa and fitness center; and Seagrape, chef Michelle Bernstein’s 267-seat timber-ceilinged brasserie. Outside, two pools, lush tropical gardens, and lounges with ocean views complement a grove garden near a historic 1930s house on the property. The house (which was once moved from across Collins Avenue) has been converted into a

hideaway with a crudo bar, where avant-garde cocktails and food are served. The designers’ eclectic mix of materials and furnishings seamlessly weaves the interiors and exteriors and different eras together with a kitschy-cool energy that recalls the Beach’s dazzling Rat Pack era. “We always like to tell a story with our interiors,” says Brudnizki. “There’s a lot of available history in Miami, and we used that to create our imaginary story. It was a fantasy trip for us.” 4041 collins ave., miami beach, 786-605-4041; thompson hotels.com OD

JONATHAN ADLER MAKES OVER THE EAU PALM BEACH RESORT & SPA GUEST ROOMS IN HIS SIGNATURE SNAZZY STYLE. BY JEAN NAYAR

Those who can’t get enough of Jonathan Adler’s zippy style at his store in the Design District can now sate their cravings at the revamped Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa. Its operators tapped the famed potter/designer to “reenvision” the Eau’s 309 rooms with fresh jet-set glamour. “A trip to Palm Beach should be like lemon sorbet for your mind and body, and I think the rooms perfectly capture that—they are crisp, dreamy, and, most importantly, très chic,” says Adler. Drenched in shades of sunny yellow, bright white, and deep ocean blue, Sputnik-style light fixtures, Lucite consoles, and midcentury-inspired velvet sofas and chairs offer a modern spin on Palm Beach’s preppy spirit and inject the Eau with the designer’s trademark upbeat style. 100 S.

Why not pep up that all-white dining room with a dreamy pop of pink? Modeled after an inverted goblet, La Belle’s pendant lighting ($1,800– $2,000), designed by Italian designer Filippo Protasoni for Prandina, is as refreshing as a glass of rosé on a hot day. Made of white-painted metal with a colored blown-glass diffuser, the energyefﬁcient light ﬁxture features an integrated electronic or digital dimmable ballast and comes in two sizes.

Baxter has introduced a collection of about 200 reimagined vintage pieces from the jet-set era collected by artist/designer Draga Obradovic and her carpenter/craftsman companion, Aurel K. Basedow. Searching in vintage shops, the pair gathered midcentury chairs, tables, and consoles and transformed them with connoisseur restoration or French polish techniques. Like original paintings, each one-of-a-kind piece is uniquely silk-screened or decorated by hand and starts at about $2,000.

Spilling SecretS

ShrinkS are so 2014. ThiS year, we MiaMianS Take phySical “Therapy” To a whole new level. by betsy f. perry hope he has amnesia or you might end up in his next bodice-ripper. Bet your therapist never did that! But I am one who will happily divulge personal data and willingly spill the dysfunctional-family-drama beans to the locker room lady at Soho Beach House or to Jack, my bike guy who graciously pumps air into my tires (talk about spewing a bunch of hot air!). However, according to my New York savior-of-a-shrink, there’s a reason for this. “In this world, there’s a longing to have someone to listen, to understand, and to react, and these caretakers can be sympathetic, provide validation, and give unconditional attention—and they’re safe.” So if I babble on to the very earnest J.Crew salesgirl—who would prefer to hand me the racer-back tees and not hear how I went up a bra size postmenopause—remember, as the notable AT&T slogan goes, I’m just trying to “Reach out and touch someone.” One caveat, however—once I leave, forget you ever knew me. And another thing, don’t roll your eyes, please. You’re paid to listen! OD

Rather than spend money spilling secrets to a shrink, most Miamians— self-obsessed as we are—prefer to confide in those who know us best: trainers with physical education degrees, mani/pedi-ists intensely focused on our Essie-colored digits, or, in my case, Albee, my favorite waiter at The Café at Books & Books, who nods supportively when I share morsels of intel between bites of my tuna melt. The upside is we can yak away while they’re trapped listening, but on the downside, our worker bee confidantes, not bound by any Hippocratic Oath, are free to repeat, embellish, and morph our gossip to anyone who will listen (sound familiar?), so graphic details about your neighbor’s biblical relationship with the pool boy could spread faster than the algae he was supposed to be cleaning up. However, for those emotionally fragile souls leaving therapists behind for the winter—under the assumption vitamin D is as important for mental health—just knowing we can dump the rubbish of our lives on those temporarily stuck with us is wonderfully therapeutic. But do those who spew volcanic secrets care that certain down-anddirty information might make our caretakers uncomfortable? According to everybody’s favorite Miami celebrity fitness trainer, Philip Gray, also the author of Sex, Secrets & the Spy, he’s happy to listen. “I’m an openly gay man and people feel comfortable airing their laundry, so I become their therapist,” he candidly says. “Let’s face it,” he adds, “the minute [women] share with a girlfriend, the secret is no longer safe.” Gray does admit most goes in one ear and out the other, but after witnessing one client send her husband off to work moments before her lover appeared or being asked by clients to “participate” in a bit of swinging singles action, you better
