FRONT RUNNER

The 1953 film Easy to Love, starring Esther Williams, was shot on location at Florida’s original theme park, Cypress Gardens, and features spectacular water-skiing routines and stunts. Williams (in the pink swimsuit) performed her own stunts despite being pregnant during filming.

AmericAn DreAm PArk

Miami Dade is abuzz with news of a massive potential theme park, mall, and entertainment complex. Triple Five, the company that owns and operates Minnesota’s Mall of America, is exploring options to build a $4 billion “American Dream Miami,” a 200-acre entertainment complex that would employ more than 25,000 people and would feature submarine rides, an artificial ski slope, a water park, mini golf, a Legoland, a skating rink, and indoor gardens, as well as a hotel and residences. But eye-catching theme parks are nothing new to the state. In 1936, Cypress Gardens, often cited as Florida’s first commercial tourist theme park, opened to much fanfare. Cypress Gardens provided a lush landscape not only for tourists but for Hollywood, too, serving as a picturesque filming location for the 1941 musical Moon Over Miami, the 1952 film This Is Cinerama, and 1953’s Easy to Love ( pictured). During its heyday, Cypress Gardens was known for its water-skiing shows

on Lake Eloise and helped popularize the sport. Other attractions included botanical gardens, Southern belles dressed in tiered antebellum dresses, and a Florida-shaped swimming pool, which had been constructed for Easy to Love. With its postcard-friendly aesthetic, Cypress Gardens’ ads and billboards welcomed tourists to the Sunshine State at various Florida airports. Decades later, business began to suffer when Walt Disney World and Universal Studios theme parks opened nearby. After 67 years in business, Cypress Gardens closed in 2003, then reopened under new ownership the following year, only to close again for good in 2009. Now, the 200-acre site is part of Legoland. Some of its original attractions, including the Floridashaped pool, have been preserved, and in 2014, Cypress Gardens was named to the National Register of Historic Places. As we recognize our state’s rich tradition of theme park attractions, we look forward to the wild ride of our future—artificial ski slope and all. OD

FRONT RUNNER John Wayne giving the opening speech at the 1968 Republican National Convention, held in Miami Beach that year. His “Why I Am Proud to Be an American” was greeted by a four-minute ovation.

From conventions to candidates to hanging chads, south Florida, and miami in particular, has a legacy oF inFluencing presidential elections. by juliet izon John Wayne’s speech at the opening of the August 1968 Republican National Convention was entitled “Why I Am Proud to Be an American.” Convention organizers had urged the actor to craft something inspirational rather than tired political clichés. Wayne certainly delivered: “I have a feeling that a nation is more than just government, laws, and rules,” he said. “It’s an attitude. It’s the people’s outlook. [I’m] grateful for every day of my life that I wake up in the United States of America.” The applause inside the Miami Beach Convention Center thundered for more than four minutes. It was a difficult year for America: Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated in April of 1968 and Senator Robert F. Kennedy that June, resulting in riots and political unrest in more than 100 cities. President Lyndon B. Johnson, who had announced he would not seek reelection, did not attend the

Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Understandably, the public had more to think about than Miami and the GOP. Nevertheless, the one-two Republican punch of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew went on to win the general election that November. Today, Florida is the third-most-populous state in the nation and pivotal for both political parties, as evidenced by the hanging chad debacle of 2000. This election cycle also brings special notoriety: The Sunshine State boasts two potential 2016 presidential candidates, former Governor Jeb Bush and Senator Marco Rubio. While political pundits and voters alike carefully watch Florida during election years, 2016 is sure to attract an outsize amount of attention. Will either make it all the way to the party’s nomination or, potentially, the White House? Only time will tell. OD

records in early spring, and it was hard not to comment on the effects of global warming. All through the town, you could hear a collective, “Wow, if it’s this hot now, imagine what it’s going to be like in the summer.” Droughts in California, snow in Detroit, and then 95 degrees and raining in Miami—weather was becoming increasingly dynamic all over the country. And yet, as hot as it has been in South Florida already this summer, people are still coming. Not just snowbirds who arrive to escape the winter blues and stay for the next six months, but people actually coming to Miami—100 degrees in the summer or not—permanently. It’s the inspiration for our “The Great Migration” story this issue, which illustrates the massive influx of families, professionals, and skilled workers seeking a better quality of life (not to mention the absence of a state income tax). Artists, doctors, scientists, developers, and lawyers are setting down roots; we’re not just models and club kids anymore. In fact, reports show some 50,000 people are leaving New York for South Florida this year, and almost half a million are flooding into Florida from all over. To all of you, I say welcome to our beautiful state. Of course, part of the reason South Florida has become

such a vibrant destination is because of our thriving art scene. This issue, Ocean Drive is profiling Jillian Mayer, a Miamibased artist making waves on a national scale with millions of views on YouTube for her irreverent videos, shows all over the country from Toledo, Ohio, to the Guggenheim in New York, and a new project with MTV, not to mention her own showings at David Castillo Gallery here in Wynwood and her continued relationship with the nonprofit Locust Projects, which helps to foster emerging talent. Lastly, you cannot picture summer in Miami without swimwear. Though the evolution of Swim Week continues, the excitement over new trends has buyers and swimwear fans from all over the world descending on Miami Beach this year to check out the next big thing in fashion at SwimShow at the Convention Center. Kicking things off? Ocean Drive and our gorgeous cover model, Martha Hunt, who recently was named one of Victoria’s Secret’s newest Angels. We took her to get an exclusive sneak peek of the amazing new Baha Mar Casino & Hotel, located just 50 minutes south in neighboring Nassau, Bahamas, for this issue’s sizzling cover shoot. One thing is for sure, no matter how far south you go, temperatures, and the buzz of Miami, are still red-hot.

summer is no exception. The event of the season, Miami Swim Week, is upon us. We’re excited for the Swimwear Association of Florida’s four-day SwimShow, the largest swimwear show in the world, to return to the Miami Beach Convention Center from July 18 through 21. And speaking of swim, who better to grace our issue cover than Martha Hunt, the charming Free People model-turnedVictoria’s Secret Angel? Hunt joins the ranks of several of our past cover stars like Erin Heatherton and Hannah Davis who have landed an Ocean Drive cover just before ascending to superstardom. It’s thrilling to get to know them at such an exciting juncture in their careers and to watch their success from there. We predict big things in Hunt’s future, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for this budding star. Also making a splash nationally is local artist Jillian Mayer, who’s earned all kinds of recognition, from a Sundance Institute fellowship for a satirical sci-fi musical to Internet fame from a viral video. You’ll

love getting to know this wry and clever talent, and we’re proud that she’s one of Miami’s own. School’s out for summer, but in this issue we spotlight José de Diego Middle School in Wynwood, which recently became a canvas for street art as part of a fundraising effort to bring an art department into the school. Art is such an important part of education, not to mention the culture here in Miami, and we support this effort to ensure that public schools can enrich students’ lives with this vital aspect of humanity. With so much going on in town, it’ll be easy to stay cool this summer. Hope to see you around town…

...WITHOUT WHOM this issue would not have been possible

MARCELLE SUSSMAn fISCHLER Real Estate Writer

CAMILO RIOS-WHITE Photographer The photographer behind this issue’s feature on artist Jillian Mayer, Camilo Rios-White has directed, advised, and produced high-end digital work for such celebrated clients as The Webster, Del Toro Shoes, Off White, and Eres Paris; he’s also the founder and creative director of United Rivers and creative director and advisor at Toys for boys magazine. Rios-White’s work has been featured in vogue mexico, vogue brazil, l’officiel Paris, style.com, gq, The new york Times magazine, and grazia Paris, among others. “I love the vibrant colors that make Miami a Pantone utopia,” says Rios-White. “Everywhere you go, you are immersed in the vibrant, bright shades—from the sunsets and oceans to the Art Deco buildings that line the iconic Miami Beach streets. It truly is a happy, neon assault on the senses. I know this is often said, but there truly is no place like Miami.”

Marcelle Sussman Fischler contributes a monthly column to The new york Times and has written extensively about real estate and lifestyles for forbes.com, Yahoo!, and more. In this issue of ocean drive, she interviews Miami developer Ugo Colombo. “I was surprised and delighted at the close attention Ugo proudly pays to details in outfitting his buildings, including changing the door levers at Brickell Flatiron three times,” says Fischler. “Looking at his properties, it’s evident that Ugo realizes the importance of outdoor space and terraces for Miami residents. His locations are prime, and his buildings are designed for residents to be able to look out, let the light in, and take advantage of being in Miami.”

nAdInE SCHIff Journalist

ROBYn A. fRIEdMAn Writer

Nadine Schiff is the coauthor of three nonfiction books, an executive producer of movies including made in america and The wedding dress, and a board member of the Sundance Institute and United Friends of the Children. A former reporter in the Los Angeles bureau for the cbs evening news, Schiff was also the vice president of Michael Douglas’s Stonebridge Entertainment. In this issue, she details Swarovski’s 120th anniversary. “What was most surprising was how long Swarovski has been in the public eye expanding its tremendous reach, and yet it is still 100 percent family owned,” says Schiff. “Given how hard it is to gather my one family around a Thanksgiving table each year, their commitment to working together in solidarity is astounding.”

Robyn A. Friedman is an award-winning freelance writer who has been covering the real estate and housing industries for more than two decades. Friedman has written for The wall street Journal, robb report, new york Post, and realtor .com, among others. In this issue’s “Gold Coast Report,” she profiles 1 Hotel & Homes. “Many hotels market themselves as ‘green’ when they do little more than request guests to reuse towels,” she says of the property. “From the use of reclaimed wood to the triple-filtered water in the rooms (to encourage guests to use tap water, not bottled) to the living green walls and the terrariums in the guest rooms, 1 Hotel is truly a celebration of nature.”

“There’s noThing as calming or idyllic as living on The beach, gazing from your balcony aT The Turquoise sea or walking ouT your door and feeling The warm sand beTween your Toes.”—marcelle sussman fischler

Building Inspiration

Max Mara Creative DireCtor Ian GrIffIths’s new it bag looks to an arChiteCtural Marvel. by adrienne gaffney “In Miami, there’s a lighter way of dressing, an easier way of dressing and dressing more for yourself, but being sexy at the same time,” says Max Mara Creative Director Ian Griffiths. “Not feeling that you need to dress to impress anyone, but dressing to feel comfortable and good.” Griffiths brings to the storied fashion house a bold creative vision paired with remarkable technical acumen. His most recent feat was creating the newest addition to Max Mara’s handbag slate: the Whitney bag, inspired by Renzo Piano’s design of the newly reopened Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. Collaborating with the architectural great was easy for Griffiths, who continued on page 86

actually studied the discipline before transitioning to fashion. “I think rather like an architect. I have an approach to design that tends to be quite thorough, and I believe in a certain kind of rigor,” he explains. Citing the brand’s forte—coats—Griffiths notes that “the design of a coat is very similar to the design of a building. So for me, it’s not alien at all to work with an architect. I love the logic of an architectural approach.” The Whitney bag, a calfskin tote available in three sizes and shades of black, bordeaux, and tan, also comes as a special-edition version that mimics the exact slate color of the Whitney, branded with a number and logo inside. “The idea with the bag was to start with something that in some way reflected the physical form of the [museum], so Renzo Piano Workshop from the outset wanted to produce something with the idea of the skin that envelops the building. The skin has those sections, and we formed ridges, so those are very clearly related,” Griffiths says. “The hardware—the metal pieces of the bag— are quite faithfully reproduced from sketches from Renzo Piano of the stanchions that hold the tension cables to the ground. The bag is very literally related to the physical appearance of the building itself.” Another point of excitement for Griffiths is his recently designed pre-fall collection, which includes a cashmere and silk sweater in a bobcat-print motif. “We really did take the design from the markings of a bobcat, so it is faithful to its inspiration, and for me that represents something quite cool and new, and at the same time very chic,” he says. “On the other side, in the minimal theme, is the total red look, the red suit with the red coat over, which a lot of people pinpointed as a highlight of the show and the collection.” Having worked with Max Mara for close to 30 years, Griffiths has a very clear idea of who the woman he’s dressing is and exactly what she needs and desires in her wardrobe. “It’s so easy for a man—you just wear a jacket with or without a tie or jeans. There are so few decisions,” says Griffiths. “For a woman, it’s difficult because for any occasion there are any number of possibilities: Do you wear a dress? Do you wear a suit? Do you wear a bustier dress? Strapless? Do you cover up or do you expose? What do you expose? I think our responsibility at Max Mara is to give our customers ways of dressing that are going to give them complete confidence to get on with their lives.” 106 ne 39th st., Miami, 305-770-6200; maxmara.com OD

LocaL SwimSuit deSigner Tim GorGol’S indie SouL Brand BLew up overnight after Landing the cover of the SportS IlluStrated SwimSuit iSSue. by becky randel Tim Gorgol, creative director of Miami-based swimwear line Indie Soul, was watching the famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue unveiling on The Tonight Show this year, when he suddenly saw his design on Hannah Davis’s sexy cover shot. “I was shocked…. I woke up thinking it was a dream,” he recalls. “But in the morning, I got a tweet from the editor, and I realized, Oh my god, it really is me.” While this may be the first SI cover for the twoyear-old brand, Gorgol is no newcomer to the fashion industry. After more than a decade as a buyer and visual merchandiser, Gorgol was inspired to launch a line of his own. “I’ve always had a passion to create fashion as a result of art,” he says, “but it has to be wearable.” Gorgol resolved to produce swimwear using “our own hand-dyed textiles.” He calls the result “exuberant, eclectic, colorful clothing with a bohemian soul,” and every piece in the Indie Soul line is

handcrafted and unique. “[Buyers] know they’ll go to the beach or a pool party and no one will have the same suit as them—all for less than $200,” he says. The designer’s creativity is precisely what led to the coveted SI cover. “The mood board they gave us was Downton Abbey,” he explains of the swimsuit’s design process. “So I was really challenged. How do I take burgundies, blacks, and velvets and create a bohemian modern swimsuit?” Insisting on a design that aligned with the artistry of his brand, Gorgol looked to his fashion background for inspiration, which led him to handcrafted lace. “Classic lace is always black over nude,” he says. In the wake of the issue’s release (which in total showcased nine Indie Soul swimsuits, between print and online), the brand’s web business increased by 50 percent, its social media numbers have doubled, and orders for the cover suit skyrocketed (even country superstar LeAnn Rimes picked

one up). Indie Soul showed at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Santo Domingo, and will have a booth at Miami’s must-see Swim Week global trade show, SwimShow, this month. When speaking of the brand’s success, Gorgol is especially proud that it has all taken place in Miami, his home for the past 21 years. Says the designer, “It’s more inspirational to be here with the women of Miami—the jet-set style, the luxury yacht style.” 900 S. Miami Ave., Miami, 305-4156291; myindiesoul.com OD

ON TREND Tim Gorgol’s insight on the hottest trends. A couple of trends we see for the upcoming season are: Sporty: A lot more sporty styles, especially in the top part of the bikini. Items that can be not only used for swimming but also for the gym, yoga, paddleboarding, or even as a sportswear top. Consumers love when their purchase has multiple end uses. Transparency: The use of mesh, tulle, and lace to create illusion effects so you are not bare... but almost bare. (This is both for swimwear and cover-ups.)

Lais Bacchi’s foray into design takes a stylish turn toward jewelry and fine fabrics.

by charlyne varkonyi schaub

Lais Bacchi is in a last-minute meeting with sales staff explaining how to sell her new line of statement necklaces, long beads and pearls adorned with tassels and semiprecious stones overlaid in 18k gold. She ends the meeting and crosses the Artefacto furniture showroom in Coral Gables with a confident stride, her slim body clothed in formfitting white jeans, a white blouse with rolled-up sleeves, a black Hermès belt with a large silver h, and Giuseppe Zanotti black and white striped heels. Bacchi, a former fashion stylist for Brazilian celebrities and socialites, came to Miami 13 years ago with her husband, Paulo, the owner of Artefacto. Now a fabric and jewelry designer, she returns to Brazil once a month to see family and check on the artisans creating her jewelry

line. “In Brazil, we have problems,” says Bacchi of her homeland. “I prefer to live [here] with a convertible.” The semiprecious stones she uses in her jewelry are from Brazil, but she says much of her design inspiration comes from Miami’s nature, lifestyle, and colors. The collection follows the trends and colors of the season, and Summer 2015 is all about hippie chic—long and light flowing dresses, and delicate lace, sheer fabrics. The necklaces are a nod to the contrasts and textures that are also present this season. Her elegant chandelier earrings can adjust from day to evening, as detachable parts allow them to be used in three different looks that transition from casual to formal. Many pieces have retro references, such as a 1920s-style

Lais Bacchi (here inside her home on Fisher Island) turned her background as a celebrity stylist into a new career designing fabrics and jewelry, including her line’s Fan earrings ($220), Tamara ring ($650), and Spiral bracelet ($199). Behind her are her collection’s decorative pillows in Tiger and Snake prints.

necklace with multiple strands of freshwater pearls and a silver/crystal clasp. Her trademark bags and boxes are black with a stylized lb logo; the jewelry, packaged inside a soft fabric bag, is sold only at Artefacto stores in Coral Gables and Aventura as well as online. Bacchi’s first fabric collection, which includes five animal prints on soft velvet, is exclusive to Artefacto and can be featured on a range of items, from throw pillows to smaller upholstered furniture. The goal of the collection was to add a pop of contrast and texture to the neutral palette found in the Artefacto showrooms. “I always like prints, but Artefacto didn’t have many,” she says. “I love colors, but Artefacto is more neutral. It’s my way to add a woman’s touch.” Of course, it’s not all work and no play for Bacchi,

who is a mother of 18-year-old twin boys, Bruno and Pietro. But she does say it’s easier now to balance her work and personal life because the boys don’t require as much attention. Balance means heading to the gym three times a week for spin classes, weight and circuit training, and bike rides with her husband on weekends at both of their homes—Coral Gables during the week, Fisher Island for the weekends and holidays. Both properties are decorated with Artefacto furnishings and her husband’s art collection, which includes works by Botero, Andy Warhol, and Carlos Araujo. “He told me the first time he saw me that I was going to be his wife,” she says of Paulo, her husband of 20 years.

STYLE Anniversary

All that Glitters

FAMILY-OWNED LUXURY COMPANY SWAROV CELEBRATES 120 YEARS IN BUSINESS WITH A NEW BOOK, A CHARITY INITIATIVE, AND OF COURSE, DAZZLING ACCOUTREMENTS. BY NADINE SCHIFF You don’t need a crystal ball to see that Swarovski not only possesses the patina of success, it also has stamina. This summer marks the 120th anniversary of a brand that continues to glitter in the worlds of jewelry, fashion, design, and collectibles. One hundred and twenty years after Daniel Swarovski founded the Austrian company in 1895, the original subterranean maze where he perfected his precise cutting technique has become a cross between a museum and theme park for thousands of tourists. It also still serves as the company’s headquarters. Since those earliest days, the brilliant glass crystals that once embellished the gowns of Queen Victoria have become more than twinkling eye candy for décolletages and tiaras. They encrusted Dorothy’s ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz and clung provocatively to Marilyn Monroe’s famous form while she sang “Happy Birthday” to John F. Kennedy. The sparkling stones glitter on the Vegas Strip, highlighting a 14-foot crystal starburst, and illuminate the Christmas tree in New York’s Rockefeller Center. And this year, Swarovski’s famous Aurora Borealis stone adorns the glass slipper in the latest film version of Cinderella. Swarovski remains a familyowned business. In 2011, Nadja Swarovski, the great-great-granddaughter of the founder, became the first woman to sit on the executive board, and has since become the face of this brilliant company. Nicknamed “The Crystal Medici,” a 21st-century

patron of design, she is a singular force, intent on bringing everything crystal into the cultural mainstream. “Design,” Swarovski says, “has been a huge focus of what we’ve done at Swarovski over the past 120 years. And I’m especially proud of the work we have done mixing different disciplines.” Luxury home design giants such as Tord Boontje and Yves Behr are her collaborators. And fashion gurus such as Giorgio Armani and Diane von Furstenberg laud her support of emerging artists, as she backs them on their journey to the center spotlight of the world’s major runways. “We have worked with our Council of Fashion Design Awards to bring talents like Christopher Kane, Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy, and Mary Katrantzou to the global stage,” Swarovski adds. She also keeps a discerning eye on Hollywood. In 2007, the company partnered with the Academy Awards and created a 34-foot curtain with more than 50,000 cascading crystals to illuminate the stage. And the Swarovski Optik lens magnifies the majestic beauty of London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral, quite possibly proof that Swarovski is a direct line to perfection. And how is Swarovski celebrating its 120th birthday? “We’re publishing a stunning Rizzoli book that celebrates our creative collaborations, and we’ve also established the Swarovski Foundation, launching a number of philanthropic new initiatives across the three pillars of education, health, and environmental protection,” says

HigH-end fragrances are returning to tHe romance of rose. now, innovative skincare is following suit, and already a Hit witH miami women. BY matt stewart

“Consumers are looking for integrity and high performanCe.” —carmen tal

In the past, appointments with highly trained aestheticians and at-home skincare treatments were considered by many to be solely for special occasions, but today the axiom “an ounce of prevention” is being taken to heart. Women are much more savvy about doing right by their derma, and because of that, global skincare sales are expected to be worth $121 billion by 2016. “The number-one driver in skincare is results,” says Charlotte Prescott, spa and fitness director of The Biltmore Spa (1200 Anastasia Ave., Coral Gables, 305-913-3187; biltmorehotel.com). “The world is really changing in terms of organics, sustainability, and demand for quality ingredients. If the results can be provided with natural, organic products, then the guests are open to that, but the key is results first.” “Today, consumers are more knowledgeable about ingredients than ever before,” says Carmen Tal, cofounder of Moroccanoil, a luxury haircare and body care product line that burst onto the beauty scene in 2006 with a single argan oil hair treatment. “They are looking for integrity and high performance.” Recently Moroccanoil announced its Fleur de Rose collection, which

consists of a rich Body Soufflé, hydrating Body Butter, Body Buff that both exfoliates and moisturizes with argan oil, an “on the go” Hand Cream, and creamy Cleansing Bar. (A Fleur de Rose Shower Milk will be released in 2016.) “Our formulas are comprised of the finest-quality ingredients available [and] offer a complete regimen to help exfoliate, cleanse, and hydrate,” says Tal. “Those three steps are so important in creating beautiful skin.” For Tal, Fleur de Rose is Moroccanoil’s most personal offering. “I worked with a talented aromatherapist who was extremely knowledgeable about essential oils and fragrances,” she says. “When I told her what I was looking for, she knew exactly where to go with it. We came to realize that it was the damask rose scent that really captured me. Our Product Development and R&D teams then worked for several years to develop and perfect the collection.” “I think they got the fragrance just right,” says Osa Mallo, spa director at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami (500 Brickell Key Dr., Miami, 305-913-8288; mandarinoriental.com). “When you use the products, they give a subtle scent of rose on the skin that is refreshing and elegant.” Prescott agrees and feels that the fragrance takes the collection to the next level. “It smells fresh, clean, and beautiful,” she says of the Fleur de Rose collection. “A bit of fragrance changes the experience of both a spa treatment and the daily at-home regimen [because] scent is a strong emotional trigger and creates specific associations and memories that can make a moment in your day, your week, your life very special.” moroccanoil.com OD

Get ready to party amonG the hottest looks, trends, and models as Swim wee , the world’s larGest swimwear event, returns to miami Beach. by rachel felder Despite July’s summertime heat and humidity, fashion industry insiders have been heading to Miami Beach this month for several years, all focused on one key item: swimwear. This is where next season’s trends are revealed and set into motion over the course of a few packed days. With store buyers and editors from around the globe—not to mention some of the world’s most beautiful people—in town, Miami Beach is, quite simply, the place to be. This year will see a major change in the presentation: IMG, which has held runway fashion shows and presentations at The Raleigh hotel for a

decade, is taking 2015 off to tweak and update its swim activities. “It’s been a great success in Miami for the past 10 years but, like everything, has changed over time,” says Catherine Bennett, senior vice president and managing director for IMG Fashion Events & Properties. “We really want to create an event that is more meaningful and has a larger impact on all of our constituents. We’re looking to evolve and are looking forward to next season.” Nonetheless, there will still be plenty of bikini-clad models walking continued on page 112

Culture Hottest ticket down Miami Beach catwalks this year. Funkshion: Miami Beach Fashion Week has beefed up its swim shows this season, mounting a massive tent on Collins Avenue as well as four additional runways at Soho Beach House, The Setai, the Thompson Miami Beach, and the SLS South Beach. At the Miami Beach Convention Center, the Swimwear Association of Florida’s SwimShow will go on as it has for over three decades. It’s the world’s largest tradeshow dedicated to the category and, not surprisingly, the driving force behind the ancillary parties and showings around town that make model-gazing an amateur sport for the week. The scope of the show is still massive: This year, more than 2,500 lines will be shown to around 9,000 attendees. Executive Director Judy Stein is excited about the way the gathering has been expanding both in international focus—with an increasing number of brands from the United

Kingdom, Colombia, and Brazil participating— and range. “I’m seeing a lot of brands venturing off into more lifestyle, activewear, and yoga wear,” says Stein. “It’s a huge trend right now that a lot of our companies are going into.” With a waiting list of designers wanting to participate, SwimShow’s executive director knows exactly the type of labels she wants to include. “We’re always looking for quality, design, and newness—something that’s on point and on trend,” says Stein. That, of course, is what attendees of both shows are also hoping to see during the swim shows… and will, if prior years are any indication. Funkshion: Miami Beach Fashion Week takes place July 15–20 at various Miami Beach locations; funkshion .com.

TrendspoTTing What will be the upcoming season’s most resonant trends? Here are some likely contenders, according to swimwear expert Jenny Altman. Nautical: “People can never get enough of navy and

white,” says Altman of the crisp look. “It’s very fresh and makes you feel like you’re on the beach.” RetRo shapes: Halters and higher bikini waistlines

are coming back. An upside of the trend: “It’s a very fattering ft for everybody,” Altman notes. oNe-pieces with sex appeal: A new breed of

maillots, with strategically placed cutouts and highly raised bottoms, will be a bikini alternative. “It’s not about a frumpy cover-up piece anymore. They’re really sexy.” FemiNiNe details: A nod to the still-snowballing

appeal of festivals like Coachella, crochet and ruffes will give some suits a girly, slightly hippie fair. “They’re very pretty and summery.” suN pRotectioN with style: The rash guards

that have become a beach staple for kids are offered in fashionable versions for women, covered in on-trend prints and made of advanced fabrics. “They feel great while they’re protecting your skin and are properly dry the second you take them off,” Altman says. “It’s a trend that’s not just technical, but about style as well.”

Even upper-middle-class people could board a train and come down for some fun time in Miami Beach.” To explore the birth of this leisure economy, Harsanyi has curated “Miami Beach Deco Development,” a new Wolfsonian exhibition showcasing the era via period photographs, vintage tourist postcards, nightclub matchbooks, and even the blueprints for some of the hotels that now form the Beach’s iconic skyline—all of it drawn from the museum’s own archives. “It’s really not that different from today,” he says. “Cultural offerings may have been lacking, the city may not have been as daring as it is now, but it still revolved around a beach life and a thriving nightlife.” “Miami Beach

Thinking about the Great Depression usually summons bleak images of breadlines and a mournful refrain of “Brother, can you spare a dime?” But not in Miami Beach, where the party was just getting started. Much of the city’s current identity—from its architecturally striking Art Deco hotels to its role as a getaway for the vacationing wealthy—has its roots in the seemingly dour 1930s. How to explain this odd dichotomy? “As with everything, Miami Beach is not really America,” says Nicolae Harsanyi, associate librarian at The Wolfsonian-Florida International University. Harsanyi points to the 2008 Great Recession as an example—the rest of the country may have been plunged into doom and gloom, but South Beach’s VIP rooms hardly emptied out. “There were still rich people who had money, and they spent it when they came down here,” he explains. Likewise, the Wall Street crash of 1929 still left a number of

Judith Clark and Cathy Leff are bringing the cultural conversation to Bal Harbour Shops with their Fashion Project.

Do you recall the initial thinking behind the Fashion Project? It very much grew out of a conversation with Cathy Leff, who came and spoke with me in London and explained that she wanted to do a project that added a cultural dimension to the Bal Harbour Shops. I haven’t worked exclusively within museums—I’ve done projects for Selfridges [a United Kingdom-based department store]—and I love the crossovers that exist within this field more and more. So Cathy was pushing on an open door. In hindsight, it seems odd that Miami’s established art museums haven’t already delved deeply into fashion. After all, it’s hard to talk about Miami without also talking about Miamians and their dedication to fashion. Fashion is often like that! You can’t believe it hasn’t been already said. It’s as though “fashion” is a dirty word, intellectually; it’s really dragging behind in terms of curatorial debate. Which is cOntinueD On page 118

Consider the Fashion Project a welcome addition to Miami’s cultural whirl. Touted as an “experimental space” for exploring the rich milieu of craft, innovation, and meaning surrounding fashion, it certainly seems like a natural fit for a city that hardly needs an excuse to flock to a bold catwalk strut or a fresh unveiling. Moreover, funded by the Whitman family and housed within their Bal Harbour Shops—which already acts as a veritable shrine to both the high-fashion industry and a certain well-turned-out slice of the international beau monde—the Fashion Project appears to have found a more than appropriate home. Conceived by Cathy Leff, former director of The Wolfsonian-Florida International University, and with rotating shows curated by the London-based Judith Clark, known for her academically minded fashion exhibitions everywhere from England’s Victoria and Albert Museum to France’s Palais de Tokyo, the Fashion Project aims to get locals talking. Part of that discussion is intended to be primed by Clark’s exhibits, which have already drawn on eye-raisingly rare items, from a 1930s Elsa Schiaparelli cape to Hussein Chalayan’s notorious motorized dress from 1999. And part will no doubt arise from the string of fashion notables making their way to the space for lectures and panel discussions. Ocean Drive sat down with Clark to discuss.

what I love about staging Fashion Project in Miami, where it has this reputation for being fashionobsessed… You have a swapping of aesthetics, but there’s still a resistance on the part of the museums at being described as too close to retail. There’s a phobia about it. I don’t happen to share that phobia. I think anything that’s evocative and true to the narrative you want to tell is fine. It’s a bit of a cliché to talk about the globalization of fashion, but is there a difference in launching Fashion Project Miami compared to, say, a Fashion Project Chicago? Obviously, within the Bal Harbour Shops, there’s a tradition of exquisite high-end fashion. But when you have so many pieces that are already museumworthy downstairs, what else can be said about it? We can discover what kind of debate there might be around the subject in Miami. Fashion Project is an excuse to open this conversation in a city that

118 oceandrive.com

is now so much the center of attention. Some fashion curators have held up designers as gifted artists in their own right, akin to film scholars pushing auteur theory in the 1960s as a way to combat skeptics who refused to look at movies as art. But you’ve dismissed this kind of fashion talk as “the cult of the genius.” Why? For a moment, that was all people could say, as though there was this scramble to legitimize fashion: Oh, these designers are just as artistic as Warhol! Some may be—and some are, as far as I’m concerned. But it’s as though that distracted from the ability to talk about the dress. Fashion isn’t necessarily art. It exists within different criteria of creation. But the problem there is that within our culture, that diminishes it. It does have another commercial reality. It’s like asking, “Is a car art?” It’s within the realm of applied arts, and

it has its own distinct logic. So when we talk about fashion, sometimes we’re speaking about art, sometimes we’re speaking about business, and sometimes we’re talking about the sweet spot between those overlapping worlds? There’s room for all those conversations—that’s part of the Fashion Project. The point is not that, at the end of a year’s exhibitions, everyone goes home happy because we’ve cracked it: Right, here’s the definition of fashion. Quite the opposite. All the problems around fashion are going to be raised, not necessarily answered. These exhibitions are an invitation to have conversations about fashion beyond “How much is it?” and “Does it make me look fat?” fashion Project is located on the third level of the bal harbour shops, 9700 collins ave., 786-245-2200; fashionprojectbhs.com.

GRUNGE ROCKERS ALICE IN CHAINS RETURN TO SOUTH FLORIDA FOR AN EPIC ONE-NIGHT SHOW AT HARD ROCK LIVE. BY LAUREN BROWN

After more than 20 million albums sold worldwide, grungeera rockers Alice in Chains and singer/songwriter/guitarist Jerry Cantrell are still hitting the road. For more than 25 years, the band has played to a diehard fan base that supported Alice in Chains’ evolution through the group’s epic highs and lows. With William DuVall now on lead vocals (lead singer Layne Staley died of a drug overdose in 2002), they visit South Florida on August 11, one of 19 stops on their tour on the heels of their Grammy-nominated album The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, which includes the hit singles “Hollow” and “Stone.” Look for the group to also play a number of classics from their earlier albums.

Love Letters, which marks O’Neal’s theater debut, spans 50 years, following a couple that should have been together but end up living separate lives.

Shooting Starr

While most businessmen focus on closing deals, restaurateur Stephen Starr, Who delivers his fourth south florida venue this year, finds his success in opening.

by jon warech

“I want to do something new all the time,” says prolific restaurateur Stephen Starr, here at Upland in New York City, one of his 34 eateries (and counting).

Stephen Starr is a busy man. As the owner of Starr Restaurants, with 34 restaurants and counting throughout Philadelphia, New York, Atlantic City, Washington, DC, and Miami, Starr needs to be everywhere at once. A tasting at The Clocktower, his new restaurant at The Edition in New York, requires his attendance, while promotion efforts for his latest Miami Beach addition, The Continental Miami, are ramping up. Not to mention he’s also running his catering company, Stephen Starr Events, as well as an empire of restaurants, which for the most part are relatively new. “Inherently, I want to do something new all the time,” Starr says. “I’m bored the day after a restaurant opens, and I’m off to the next thing.” It’s exhausting and nearly impossible for most restaurateurs to pull off, but Starr, who opened Fort Lauderdale’s Steak 954 in 2009 and followed it with Makoto in Bal Harbour in 2011, and Verde at the Pérez Art Museum Miami in 2013, knows how to keep the train running. “Lots of coffee,” says Starr, who also has projects in Wynwood and continued on page 130

PEOPLE View from the Top STARRY DAYS AND NIGHTS Miami is a home away from home for the restaurateur who never seems to, well, be at home. Where do you relax in MiaMi?

“I run on the boardwalk and go to the beach.” Where do you take the kids?

“My kids love Española Way. It’s fun.” Joaquin Phoenix, Topaz Page-Green of The Lunchbox Fund, Mario Batali, and Starr at The Lunchbox Fund Fall Fête at Starr’s New York restaurant Buddakan in 2013.

Favorite place to eat?

“La Sandwicherie. It’s my favorite place in Miami. I love the

sandwiches and the French guys. It just feels good.” What about a night out?

“I go to my second favorite place, Mandolin Aegean Bistro. That’s my idea of a night out—Mandolin and back to my apartment to watch CNN for the rest of the night. I’m kind of boring.”

South of Fifth and a French restaurant in Bal Harbour in the works. “It’s been very difficult. We have a great infrastructure. I can’t stop to think how daunting it is, otherwise I’ll go crazy. So I’ll just keep on going forward.” It’s this forward thinking that makes Starr a visionary. He got his start at the age of 21, opening clubs in Philadelphia and running a promotions company that introduced new music and comedy acts at venues all over town. With an eye for talent, he brought young performers like Jerry Seinfeld, U2, and Bruce Springsteen to the city. The same approach has made Starr Restaurants a decades-long culinary success. “The secret is just spotting great talent and utilizing them to the best of their ability,” he says. Starr had the foresight to see Miami’s potential as well. He spent time visiting as a college student. “It had only one way to go. It had to become one of the most popular places in the world,” he says. “It’s too special. No matter how many times I come here, when I walk out of the airport, I get excited.” He doesn’t let his excitement dominate his business decisions, though. While most people make a beeline for South Beach, Starr opened in Fort Lauderdale, Bal Harbour, and downtown first. “Everyone wants to go to South Beach,” he

says. “That’s where the action is, and it’s sexy. But areas like Bal Harbour are so compelling in terms of the population and the density the shops get. [Makoto] does enormous business.” When he pulled the trigger on South Beach, Starr had taken one look at Aloft South Beach at 23rd Street and Collins Avenue and saw a vibe that matched what he did 20 years ago in Philly when he opened The Continental, his first Starr Restaurants establishment. It made the decision to bring the popular restaurant south a no-brainer. “That building on Collins is such a fantastic building with groovy architecture,” says Starr. “While we’re definitely making the food more modern, spaces speak to me the most, and that architecture just screamed The Continental.” The sky is the limit for Starr, who says there is no ceiling for his potential in Miami, and keeps his winning gaze on emerging neighborhoods like the Design District and Little River. He may even go back to his roots and take on some of the nightlife scene in town one day. “The entertainment component is something that has always been in my head,” he says. “After a while, you are looking for another option other than the nightclubs. There’s so much opportunity in Miami that anything can happen at any time.” OD

views over glistening Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami. Shortly after Colombo arrived in South Florida from Milan in 1983 to study at the University of Miami, he and his nascent CMC Group put their stamp on the city’s haute real estate. Among his trophies: downtown’s 55-story

Here, Colombo explains the common theme behind his buildings, how Miami inspires his work, and the benefits of Brickell.

What is your ethos when conceptualizing a development? To create something that I enjoy. The nicest thing is to see [a project develop] from a piece of paper into a building that you physically, actually, are looking at. My main purpose is not to do something spur-of-the-moment, but something that will last. A building is not like a pair of shoes that you will eventually throw away and replace. You want to build something that will resist the test of time. continued on page 134

your last project, epic, was finished in 2011. how do you decide on your pace of development? I am a small boutique developer. I like to pay a lot of attention to what I am doing. I wanted to make sure the market was strong; I waited until I felt everything was in place. what is your perspective on the supposed real estate bubble? There was an oversupply of units in ’08. There were also a lot of conditions that are very different from today. I don’t see the financial instability today that there was then. Banks don’t lend money anywhere close to what it was in ’08. The contracts are very different. Where people were selling with 10 percent deposits, now they are asking 40 to 50 percent deposits. how long will this current uptick in the real estate market last? There might be a slowdown, but that slowdown is going to happen before additional products get built. I don’t think you are going to see a crash like you saw before. Some buildings will come on the market and will not sell because the money is not there, and the buildings will not be built. The oversupply that is on paper now will not become a reality. 701 Brickell Ave., Ste. 2410, Miami, 305-372-0550; cmcgroupmiami.com OD

Night owl: Ugo Colombo wakes up late, goes to bed late, and eats dinner late, often at South Beach’s exclusive Casa Tua (1700 James Ave., Miami Beach). “The owner (Miky Grendene) is a friend of mine since high school,” Colombo says. PlayiNg favorites: For modern Japanese fare, he heads to Zuma at the Epic Hotel (270 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami) or Casa Tua for Mediterranean cuisine. “I do believe they are the two best restaurants in Miami, one for Italian (Casa Tua), the other for Asian (Zuma).” a Perfect life: Colombo gets his hair cut at

Rossano Ferretti (959 West Ave., Ste. 14, Miami Beach), shops at Nest Casa in Bal Harbour Shops (his wife, Sara, is the owner), and works out in his home gym on North Bay Road in Miami Beach, watching on-demand episodes of Mad Men or House of Cards while on his cross-trainer. the outdoor life: Stiltsville is Miami’s hidden

how does Miami, and site location, affect design? Design always evolves. Sometimes the shape of the land dictates the shape of the building—in this case, the triangular land caused the building to be triangular. In Miami, it’s the sun and the ocean. I like to be outside, so I always put a lot of balconies and terraces on my buildings, even though you don’t sell the balconies when you talk about price per square foot. I am trying to do the whole perimeter of the building all in glass; in other buildings, you have a combination of glass and concrete. Obviously, concrete costs one-fifth of glass, but you want to look [outside]. You want light to come in. You want to take advantage of being in Miami. you’ve been building since the late 1980s. why turn your attention to Brickell now? I always thought what you see happening now [in Brickell] would eventually happen. This is a little piece of New York inside Miami. You are in an area where you are walking distance to go to work, you have access to tons of restaurants, you have access now to department stores and a bit of retail within a few blocks. You have the best restaurants, all moving to this area. You have access to the Metrorail, and you have access to the offices in the Financial District.

HOW A NORTH CAROLINA FARM GIRL BECAME A MIAMI-BASED INTERNATIONAL MODEL. BY HUNTER BRAITHWAITE

MY MIAMI FAVORITE NEIGHBORHOOD? “I am loving Midtown lately. Everything is popping up there.” WHERE DO YOU SHOP? “I love to go to Atrium (1931 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305695-0757; atriumnyc.com). They have the cutest bikinis.” WHERE DO YOU GO TO THE BEACH? “My favorite place is the kite-surﬁng beach. My boyfriend kite-surfs. It’s a cool group out there, although I can’t tell him that I enjoy watching.” WHEN IT RAINS, YOU… “I cuddle up on the couch, watch a movie, cook dinner. If it’s just sprinkling, I’ll get frozen yogurt on Lincoln Road and go see a movie.”

You’re a transplant to Miami? I grew up in North Carolina, on a farm outside of Raleigh. I had horses, llamas, goats—everything you could think of. I have six brothers and three sisters. We were homeschooled, which gave me a different approach to interacting with people. I see everyone as a sister or a brother, because that’s who was around. I also did karate for eight years. I’m a second-degree black belt in tangsudo, a martial art from North Korea. That’s a far cry from South Beach. When I was 14, I was walking through the mall in Raleigh. In Delia’s, a girl came over and asked if I wanted to be in their fashion show. I said, “Sure, I’d love to.” I was nervous, but it sold me. As soon as I turned 18, I moved to Florida and signed with an agency. Who are you excited about working with at the moment? One of my favorite clients is Éxito in Medellín. This weekend, I’m going to France to shoot with T1 Advertising. We’re shooting in the French Alps, so I have to buy a coat; I don’t own one. I also love working for the Colombian brand Liliana Montoya. Any specific campaigns or shoots that you feel define you as a model? I just worked with Argento Beachwear. It’s one of the top swimsuit designers from Turkey. I love shooting for Marie Claire in New York. Where else do you shoot? I was working in Milan last summer; that’s what kick-started it all. I’m a country girl, so when I moved back from Milan, everyone said, “Ooh, international model.” After a while, I went to Capetown and shot in the desert for GQ. The sand kept blowing in my eyes, but it was an amazing shoot. Where’s your favorite airport? If I say Miami, is that bad? It’s my second home. I’m in and out. All I use is a carry-on. It takes too long to check a bag. I’ll take all of my clothes out and wear them, just so I don’t have to check a bag. One morning, you wake up and say, “That was fun, but I’m going to do something else.” What do you do instead of modeling? I love painting, actually. I have eight different paintings going on. I’d love to do that full time. Right now, I take a lot of pictures. OD

JOY TO THE WORLD

Usually, when an international model starts a conversation by saying that her flight to Colombia leaves in two hours, you can expect things to feel rushed. Not with Joy Corrigan. It’s just another Wednesday for the Miami It girl with 175,000 Instagram followers. Here, the North Carolinabred top model talks about growing up surrounded by siblings and llamas, the pitfalls of shooting in the South African desert, and why carry-ons are the way to go.

Dascha’s Turn

After toiling for yeArs in obscurity, MiAMi’s Dascha Polanco hits it big with Orange is the new Black. by juliet izon Right before Miami’s own Dascha Polanco was cast as Dayanara (“Daya”) Diaz on Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black, the actress had all but renounced her dream of “making it.” “I was in low spirits because I wasn’t working and [I was] having difficulties booking anything,” Polanco says. “I’d gone back to school to get my third degree in nursing. I was working overnight to support myself, and I hadn’t acted in over six months.” So, when faced with yet another audition, her expectations were minimal. “I wasn’t even dressed appropriately,” she says with a laugh. “[But] I wasn’t feeling worried or nervous because there were so many other things in my life that I was preoccupied with.”

138 oceandrive.com

But the Orange team saw within Polanco the inimitable mix of fierce determination and sweet charm that has made Daya one of the show’s most beloved characters. “My manager called to let me know I booked the role. Once it hit me, I broke down and started crying,” she recalls. “It was a moment of relief and reassurance that I was doing the right thing for me.” Polanco’s path to fame has been far from easy. Born in the Dominican Republic, she moved with her family to Brooklyn as a young child. “My parents worked in factory positions mostly, and manual labor: the sectors that were available to immigrants at that time,” she says. And although pricey private lessons were out of her family’s reach, Polanco found solace in an after-school arts program. “I fell in love with dancing and the performing arts. The creativity that fine arts allowed me to express was a comfort zone for me.” Her family moved to Miami while Polanco was in junior high, where she continued to hone her acting at American Senior High School. “That was a very important period of my life, with that drastic move to Miami, from an urban neighborhood to the suburbs. It was culturally very different, even the weather,” she says of her “growing-up year.” “Miami had my heart. It let me grow and taught me so much. I would love to live in Miami again, have my kids grow up here. It’s a great city, so close to the Dominican Republic. There’s freedom, culture, art…. there’s so much.” Will she move back? “Hopefully in the near future,” she says. Today, this Miamian-by-way-of-New York is juggling not only a star turn on Orange but a plum role in the latest David O. Russell film, Joy, which also features Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro. “It’s hard work, but it just brings out the best in me,” she says of the production. “To share a set with Robert De Niro, that’s a dream come true.” Polanco’s success is the result of decades of perseverance, and she is not one to forget how valiantly she’s fought to attain it. “Even though I dedicated myself and took the risks, I still ask myself, ‘Why do I deserve this?’” she says. “[But] I’m a grown woman. I’m a Latina, I come from the unknown. I’ve worked to get here, and there’s nothing that I can’t do now.” OD

PEOPLE Spirit of Generosity

A Spring of Hope founders Brittany Young and Joanne Roy-Young with one of the teachers at Welverdiend Primary School in South Africa. Their group partners with the school to provide clean, running water and teach about permaculture.

An Oasis Runs Through It

a mother-daughter trip to africa spurred coconut creek-based Joanne Roy-young and BRittany young to launch a spring of hope that digs wells in south africa. In 2005, Coconut Creek resident Joanne Roy-Young took her 14-year-old daughter, Brittany Young, on a once-in-a-lifetime African safari. In an effort to illustrate “how privileged we were to live in the US,” Joanne also set up a visit to South Africa’s Beretta Primary School. There, the mother and daughter witnessed bone-dry fields, tattered classrooms, and a lack of running water, an image that forever changed their lives. Upon their return, a determined Brittany held a fundraiser at her own school, North Broward Preparatory School, in order to build a well at Beretta. When Brittany and Joanne went back to South Africa the following year to see the progress first-hand, they say the school was “completely transformed”— running water had led to bountiful gardens, rich soil, and healthy children. “At that point, for me, it would have been nonsensical to not continue this work,” says Brittany. Thus, in 2007, A Spring of Hope (ASOH) was born. In the 10 years since that first well was dug, Brittany and Joanne’s efforts have resulted in partnerships with 27 schools in South Africa’s poverty-

stricken Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces. Because of the running water, “the school’s gardens expanded exponentially,” explains Brittany. “The most substantive meal many of these students will receive is at school, so it’s pivotal those meals are nutritious. It’s not likely that they’ll go home and have better food.” As A Spring of Hope grew and new schools were added, much of the focus expanded to teaching children and local citizens about agriculture, permaculture, and leadership—skills that could literally change their future. Simultaneously, Brittany educated herself on non-governmental organization (NGO) strategies and operations while majoring in African studies at University of Pennsylvania. “I became very sensitive to the historical and political context of the place,” says Brittany, who decided to reformulate A Spring of Hope’s mission by viewing the project from what she describes as a more holistic perspective. continued on page 142

That informed approach, combined with listening to the needs of the communities, is truly what sets ASOH apart. “Now as an NGO, we are recognized as a group that listens to schools and starts with water, but then branches out and thinks about the growth of communities as a whole,” Brittany explains. And to anyone who may question her decision to offer aid abroad instead of focusing her efforts on those in need in the United States, she says, “My plea to people is that the money you donate goes 10 times farther in Africa. You can save lives for very little money.” ASOH’s impact is also amplified by the lasting partnerships the group creates with the schools it helps. Beretta Primary’s principal, Lynette Sithole, for instance, now hosts seminars and permaculture trainings, further spreading ASOH’s progress. “These teachers don’t want where their students have been born to determine the quality of their education and the trajectory of the rest of their lives,” says Brittany. “The teachers and administrators at the schools are the real heroes,” adds Joanne. Back home, ASOH receives immense support from its local South Florida community, from the Youngs’ family and friends as well as local schools. Many people who donated have visited the South African schools themselves, and Brittany’s schoolmates even filmed a documentary about the

process, Water: A Spring of Hope Story, which she hopes to release soon. New partnerships with the Miami-based Irie Foundation (which has committed to building five wells) as well as Plantation-based South African Airways (the company will be donating a percentage of travel package sales to ASOH) ensure this group is headed for continued success. Brittany and Joanne even met with the US ambassador to South Africa to discuss future plans, and the speaker at ASOH’s The Power of Hope gala in March at St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton was none other than Maki Mandela, Nelson Mandela’s daughter. But the women aren’t stopping there. A Spring of Hope has initiated a US-based water education program entitled A Drop in the Bucket, and Brittany is headed to Berkeley in the fall to pursue her PhD in geography. Ironically, she has grave concerns about America’s misuse of the exact privilege they are fighting for in Africa, specifically our dependence on bottled water. “When you buy bottled water, it’s a vote that says, ‘I don’t believe in our government to provide clean water for me,’” she explains (which means eventually it’ll stop doing so). “My hope is that other countries don’t end up mismanaging resources like we have.” aspringofhope.org OD

ArtisAnAl food And cocktAils hAve mAde 27, At the city’s premium hostel freehAnd miAmi, A hit. by lee klein Roy Alpert of the Sydell Group recalls that once the former Indian Creek Hotel on Miami Beach had been secured as the site for his haute hostel concept, Freehand Miami, “Elad [Zvi] was pretty much my first phone call.” Zvi and his longtime business partner Gabriel Orta had helped introduce the couture cocktail to Miami in 2009 by way of their management company Bar Lab and the remarkable artisanal elixirs they conjured at the Living Room Bar in the W South Beach hotel. “I called him and said, ‘Hey, come take a look at this space and let’s see what we can do with it.’” Enthused by the space and concept, Zvi and Orta collaborated on a pop-up bar, Broken Shaker, which opened while the hostel was still under renovation in early 2012. Not only did the pop-up prove a singular sensation, “it became the foundation of what we ended up doing with the Freehand property.” It likewise set the tone for 27, which opened its doors last November. Getting the Bar Lab duo on board to manage the Freehand’s food and beverage operation proved a crucial step in the Sydell

shoulder paired with zesty slaw; and Abuela’s Rabo Encendido, the Cuban favorite prepared with grass-fed oxtail. Zvi concedes that some items aren’t Miami-centric, but “just food that we really love,” citing the not-to-bemissed kimchi fried rice with radish, cilantro, and duck eggs. “We incorporate the flavors and spices from different cultures,” says Orta, “and utilize local ingredients as much as possible.” Elad describes the thinking as, “Hey, let’s see what our neighbor next door has to offer.” One such neighbor, John Jay Homestead Farm Market, created an on-site garden that provides many of the fruits, vegetables, and herbs utilized at 27 and Broken Shaker. A blackboard lists 17 other rural vendors: Michael Borek Farms tomatoes, Little River radishes, Corona

stay on a budget, but who still value design and good food and beverage offerings.” Bar Lab founders Gabriel Orta and Elad Zvi handle the latter two via scrumptious cuisine at 27 and seasonal, farm-sourced cocktails at Broken Shaker, where Bar Lab brainstormed marvels

Farms kale, among others. “We work with the farmers, fishermen, butchers, to create something that is sustainable and genuine at a reasonable price,” explains Zvi. “We could charge way more, but for us it’s not about the short term; it’s about the long term: people coming here three or four times a week.” So despite its location in a hostel for travelers, 27 has itself become a local hit. Roman and Williams designed the retro-rustic look of the two-story restaurant, which is situated in a charming 1930s house across a leafy courtyard from the hostel. Oak and tile

floors, period wallpaper, and an eclectic array of antiques and knickknacks lend a warm, inviting feel; so do personal touches contributed by Orta and Zvi, from board games to family photos on the walls. “We wanted it to feel like you’re coming to someone’s home,” Zvi says, then adds, smiling, “a grandma’s house from the ’60s, in West Palm Beach.” This house is consistently teeming with a mélange of tattooed travellers, chic fashionistas, and fascinated foodies. That’s one cool grandma. 2727 Indian Creek Dr., Miami Beach, 305-5312727; thefreehand.com OD

such as Up in Smoke (smoked strawberries with Ramazotti Amaro and Wild Turkey rye whiskey) and a revelatory pineapple-infused Negroni. An additional “guest house” purchased by the Sydell Group has added 15 private accommodations to the Miami property. “Freehand is going more in the direction of a hybrid of a hotel and hostel,” says Alpert, “versus just a premium hostel.” This is likewise the concept for Freehand Chicago, replete with a Broken Shaker bar, as well as for the company’s upcoming Freehand Los Angeles.

Group’s quest to introduce a premium hostel experience to America. “Our goal was for a food and beverage concept that is very laid back but still focused on quality,” says Alpert. “And that’s what Elad and Gabe do best.” Although the two have elicited success via their masterful mixology (Broken Shaker was a 2013 James Beard Award semifinalist), they are equally passionate about cuisine. The duo have populated 27’s menu with mostly “Miami-style food,” which translates to representative ethnic offerings such as Elad’s Shakshuka, with Homestead eggs, Yossef Roasting Co. spices, and Zak The Baker bread (influenced by Zvi’s Israeli background); Gabe’s Arepa Platter with ropa vieja, queso de mano, and hogao (derived from Orta’s native Colombia); the Haitian-inspired Griot & Pikliz, a crispy/juicy pork

taste the Dish “In MIddle eastern cuIsIne, so Many dIfferent regIons do the exact saMe dIsh, and everyone says they created [It].”—stuart cameron Middle Eastern cuisine, so many different regions do the exact same dish, and everyone says they created [it].” The regal origins of this gemlike dish , full of saffron and crowned with a plethora of garnishes, stem from it being a staple at Persian weddings. “You probably wouldn’t go to a wedding and have this exact rice,” says Cameron, “but the essence is the same.”

The FoundaTion It all starts with joining a handful of sautéed onions and premade carrot mix infused with orange juice, cinnamon, cumin, and cardamom together in a handcrafted pot made of sand. “We’re going to cook it all down before we toss in the rice,” Cameron says as he strains the long grains. “Soaking rice for 30 minutes before makes it tender, cook faster, and absorb better.” Once the rice has been added, Cameron floods the pot with saffron tea. “We let the saffron bloom and make tea from that,” he

explains while sprinkling salt over the boil. “You only get one shot at seasoning, and it’s now.”

The WaiTing game Once the rice begins to simmer, Cameron covers it for 11 minutes, which is just the right amount of pick-up needed for the mezze experience Byblos proffers. “When people order rice, they’re pairing it with anything from our yogurt-baked fluke to manti dumplings,” the chef says, unleashing a cloud of steam as he removes the lid to check on the rice. “When it starts to stand up like this, that’s how you know it’s ready.” Not 100 percent ready, however. “We let it rest for 10 more minutes to kind of settle, then put a cloth over the lid so moisture doesn’t drop back into the rice and dry it out.” At that point, it’s just how they like it.

CroWning aChievemenT The rice is tasty and a perfectly textured canvas for

the plethora of colorful, and not always traditional, garnishes that finish it off. Cameron starts with a mountain of crunchy carrots awash with saffron. “It goes with the jeweled theme,” he says of the sweet and savory brittle. As do the red tart barberries, peeled pistachios, pomegranate seeds, and Marcona almonds that sparkle on the surface. “These are the world’s best almonds,” touts Cameron as he gets ready to add the final touch: edible flowers from Paradise Farms. “We use a lot of flowers in Middle Eastern cooking.” When the dish arrives at the table, an intoxicating aroma emanates from the pot. With the various textures, flavors, colors, and smells at play, it’s a feast for more than just your belly. 1535 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-508-5041; byblosmiami.com OD

For the Sake of Sake

Twenty-five minutes north of the Magic City, North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard (also known as the A1A) bustles within sight of crashing waves and is home to the appositely named S3 restaurant, where sun, sand, and surf meet. The Pacific-inspired waterfront eatery, perched on the first floor of the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort and proffering steak, seafood, and sushi, might be an inevitable draw for tourists soaking in sunny Florida, but its small plates and potent cocktails have had a big impact on bringing locals back to the beach, particularly during the monthly full-moon party where hula girls sway, fire dancers whirl, and chefs place sushi on a woman in a skimpy bathing suit. “Because this is our first sushi concept, we wanted to introduce sake to the menu,” says Peter Boulukos, executive chef for The Restaurant People (S3, YOLO, Tarpon Bend, O Lounge). The Sake Sunset, a color-changing vodka libation spiked with Moonstone plum sake, does just that. “People here are used to either having sake by itself or in a bomb,” says

Boulukos. The Sake Sunset gives imbibers a novel way to enjoy the Japanese spirit with a tropical twist and without having to wallop a table. Don’t be deceived by its delicate plum hue and taste, however; there’s plenty of booze in this drink. Boulukos pours one and a half ounces of Grey Goose and an ounce of premium plum sake into a tall glass filled to the rim with ice. He adds pineapple, cranberry, and a touch of simple syrup to the mix before chilling, shaking, and straining into a stemless martini glass. The liquid concoction is finished with a Chinese maltose candy-coated preserved plum that, when dropped into the cocktail, slowly thaws and dissolves, changing the hue of the drink from baby pink to vibrant mauve. “The name came from the effect of the plum candy,” says Boulukos, “like a sunset always changing colors”—which you can catch sight of as light fades over the nearby Atlantic. 505 N.

At Klima, a 70-seater resembling a private bungalow perched on the coast of Spain, Rustarazo is staying true to his Mediterranean roots while simultaneously paying respect to the Magic City’s indigenous catch and harvest. Think vibrant tuna-belly salad with tomatoes and spring onions, and local red snapper with farm vegetables, Peruvian causa, and Florida orange glaze.

Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton stepped out on the town to celebrate his Ocean Drive cover. By Melanie CaMaCho

Ocean Drive’s April cover star Giancarlo Stanton at the issue’s release party at 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach.

He’s got it all: power, looks, skills, influence, and—perhaps the most significant—the contract. Months after signing a $325 million deal with the Miami Marlins, the biggest sports contract in North American sports history, outfielder Giancarlo Stanton celebrated his Ocean Drive April cover at 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach, just days after the beginning of the 2015 season. Alongside teammates and friends Christian Yelich and A.J. Ramos, the cool and collected 25-year-old enjoyed himself on the balmy rooftop poolside deck. “The photos are amazing in the story,” Stanton said of his shoot, which was photographed by lensman Randall Slavin. Despite moving from California to play baseball in Miami, it’s safe to say Stanton’s getting acclimated to his new digs and the Magic City. “It’s great to be here,” Stanton said while perusing the newly opened 1 Hotel & Homes. “I love living in Miami more than LA. It’s the perfect place to be.” And judging by the several hundred revelers who joined in on the fun, this town agrees with that, too.

#TheNewesTANgels—it was the April 28 tweet read around the world: Ten new Victoria’s secret Angels were getting their wings, including Martha hunt, a 26-year-old North Carolina native who had appeared in the lingerie brand’s famed holiday fashion show and catalogs. Already a rising star in the industry, hunt had modeled for Free People before joining Victoria’s secret at the end of 2012. “At the time, I was shooting a lot of their catalog, and one day it just so happened that ed Razek [chief marketing officer of l Brands, Victoria’s secret’s parent company] came by the shoot, and everything changed from that moment on,” says hunt. “he immediately was interested in me, and he took a chance and decided to put me on an advertising job. That was huge for me because it took me from just being one of the catalog girls to being one of the featured girls.” Now that her star status is about to go through the heavens, hunt already has a healthy approach to walking the catwalk in next to nothing. “You don’t want to overthink it. You want to still be yourself, but the best version of yourself,” she says of modeling in lingerie. “You just train really hard and eat healthy. You don’t want to be too thin; you want to be a good example of a feminine woman’s body who’s very fit and who takes care of herself.” hunt cites other Angels, such as lily Aldridge, as inspiration for how to balance the busy lifestyle that comes with being one of the brand’s ambassadors. “I really look up to her. she’s a good role model for me,” says hunt of Aldridge. “she’s a mom and this super successful model, and she also has this great sense of fashion style, and she’s just really kind. lily, Alessandra [Ambrosio], Doutzen [Kroes], and Adriana [lima], they’ve all managed to maintain great careers—in fact, some of their careers have been getting better and better [since becoming mothers]. Motherhood in a way helps them to be more focused. That’s also really inspiring because I know one day I can be like that as well.” while motherhood is still in the future, currently hunt is juggling her career and a relationship with her boyfriend, photographer Jason McDonald, who shot much of hunt’s work with Free People. “It’s great to have somebody who understands—you might not get big points for [canceling on dinner plans], but they get it,” she says of dating someone with an equally unpredictable work schedule. “You have to be ready to surprise your man with a trip or with something you guys haven’t done before just to keep it interesting. we do a good job of going to concerts, taking trips together, even if it’s just upstate for the weekend. we give each other advice and our opinions on each other’s work. we bring each other up.” A constant on the social media scene, hunt fills her Instagram feed with pics of her work, travels, and motivational quotes, many about strong women, like hunt’s role models—her sister Caroline,

“You don’t want to be too thin; You want to be a good example of a feminine woman’s bodY who’s verY fit and who takes care of herself.”

“because I see her juggle a career and being a mom,” and her current BFF, Taylor swift, with whom she attended the recent Billboard Music Awards. (hunt also appears as “homeslice” in the singer’s “Bad Blood” music video.) “I can’t say enough good things about her,” says hunt about swift. “I admire her so much as a person and as a role model for young women. we need more people like her who really want to bring women together, and not oversexualize themselves as that being what makes them worthy. Plus she’s just talented, and she’s just the best.” Now, with more than 740,000 Instagram followers, hunt was one of the first models to embrace the social media trend. “You can have a voice. You can choose the way people perceive you,” she says of posting online. “I think the benefit of it for models is we can have a say over which pictures we choose to put on the Internet, whereas with the jobs we do, they put whatever photos make the clothes look great. we get to art direct our own gallery.” Also filling hunt’s feed are shots of her exercising, often tagged #TrainlikeAnAngel. “I try to keep it in a very low impact—I have scoliosis, so exercises can be really hard on my back, whether it’s too much running, jumping, or boxing,” says hunt. “I’ll do those things once in a while, but I keep it mostly Pilates, resistance-band based, softer exercises that build strength from inside the muscle.” scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine, has been a challenge for hunt since she was 14. At 17, she had major surgery to insert metal rods to help straighten her back. “It has been great but makes it a little harder to do any exercise, and I have to be

more careful in life in general,” says Hunt of coping with the aftereffects of the surgery. “Scoliosis can compress your organs, and your lungs, your heart; it would hurt when I would sneeze, so it definitely makes a difference now. Having [surgery] has really helped me be straighter, feel better with less pain. It’s made walking the runway a little more of a challenge, but I’m just so thankful that I’ve been able to walk runways and been able to achieve so much even with this condition. I haven’t really gone public with it yet, but I would love to at some point do something proactive with [a scoliosis organization]. It’s important to me to show this to young girls, [what you can achieve].” Hunt got her start in her early teens after entering a model search contest in her home state. “I was so long and awkward and skinny and hadn’t really grown into my features yet,” she says of her preteen years. “People were like, ‘You can be a model, you look really different,’ so I just got so used to hearing it. I remember having my appendix taken out and the surgeon said to my mom, ‘You should really get your daughter into modeling,’ and my mom was like, ‘That’s so creepy….’” Still based in North Carolina, Hunt’s family has been her strongest support system since she launched her career. “A lot of my friends—Taylor included—we all come from similar backgrounds of smaller towns and hardworking families that are very family oriented,” says Hunt. “I think that makes such a big difference when you go off into the world trying to achieve something, knowing that somebody will be there in case you fail, somebody will be there to hug you and cook you a nice meal.” Next up, Hunt will be busy with her expanded role with Victoria’s Secret, which will make her more of a paparazzi target. However, it’s a role she’s learning to navigate after her first big run-in with the photographers, where else but Miami. “I had asked my best friend to come down to Miami with me for a girls’ trip,” recalls Hunt, who was in the Magic City shooting for Victoria’s Secret. “We were hanging out by the pool, and we had gone out to the beach just to take a funny selfie, and one guy came out and started taking our picture and then another, and then they were everywhere. They followed us the whole walk back to the hotel. [The paparazzi] knew where the Victoria’s Secret models were staying, so they were waiting for us to come out, but I was so naïve to it. They somehow always find me in Miami; it’s incredible. I don’t get paparazzied that much, but in Miami, they’re out to get you.” OD

Be it an absurd message to her eventual grandchildren or faux nude selﬁes, it’s hard not to watch for what rising Miami art star Jillian Mayer will do next. By Hunter Braithwaite 186

Loading Jillian Mayer

illian Mayer’s first computer was on the bedroom floor, squeezed in a nook next to her bed. She remembers spending long hours basking in its light, her body folded over in some parody of prayer. “The computer is your shrine,” she says. “Think of the halo, Byzantine gold leaf—it’s now the glow of the screen.” But don’t expect egg tempera and mosaic. Mayer’s art is more Nickelodeon than Nicodemus. Using homemade props, Kid Pix colors, and the fonts, fades, and feel of predawn QVC infomercials, her work camps in an uncanny valley, a place just familiar enough to bring about some serious introspection as to how we should live in a world teetering above a digital abyss. And while you can find it on YouTube, or in David Castillo Gallery, her art is just as likely to be projected on the exterior of the Guggenheim, screened at Sundance, and confused with pornography on the streets of Montreal. According to Wikipedia, Jillian Mayer was born in 1986. With her dark brown hair, sly smile, and an armful of Chihuahua named Shivers, she’s quick to point out that the year is incorrect but shows no interest in updating her bio, nor in providing her real birthday. “On every social media, I’m a different age,” she says, her nonchalance echoing into the chasm between the lived world and its digital record. She will admit that she was born in Fort Lauderdale. Her parents divorced when she was 1; her childhood was spent shuttling between Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. It’s not difficult to find the antecedents of a career in the arts in these early years. Her father, an optometrist, enrolled her in art camps. Her mother taught public speaking at the University of Miami and accent reduction classes at the Coconut Grove Playhouse—laying the groundwork for the artist’s ease behind and in front of the camera. Later, Mayer visited her sister out in Los Angeles, scoring a gig as a production assistant on an LA Fitness commercial shoot. “That’s how I got on set for the first time.” She remembers being amazed by all of the moving parts, how a set resembles a little city. Still, she didn’t see herself doing that

kind of work. “I assumed I would end up working in fashion because I was unaware of the actual art world. I didn’t realize that one could be a contemporary artist.” By the time she graduated from FIU in 2007 with a concentration in fiber and installation, she had more of an idea. An internship at Locust Projects introduced her to Miami’s art scene, which she explored by attending talks at the Bas Fisher Invitational, assisting artists like Susan Lee-Chun, and—of course—by making her own work. A major boost occurred in 2009 when she was commissioned by the Miami Light Project for Here & Now, a program that gives South Florida artists a commission fee, free rehearsal space, technical assistance, and professional development. “The people who support artists before they have any accolades are the most important,” she says. Mayer’s work frustrates linear thinking. To begin with, at any given time she’s engaged with numerous projects. “I feel like I’m constantly in a cluster,” she says. Of those projects, it’s difficult to say when something is completed. “I don’t think my works are very cutand-dry or finished, ever. When I travel to a collector’s home and see a work, it’s like another extension of the piece.” And while her work is indelibly hers, it is often developed in collaboration, usually with the Miami-based film collective Borscht Corp. By the time of this writing, her I Am Your Grandma video, an at once warm, spooky, and comic message to her unborn grandchild (whom she might never meet), had garnered exactly 3,070,673 views on YouTube. Taking into account multiple viewings (I claim several) and the fact that she knew some people before making the video, it’s safe to say that for 3 million people, the young artist first appears as a specter of her future decline. Produced with Borscht on a budget consisting solely of pizza, the short film is a study in meme psychology, a Gatling gun of edits and costume changes so manic that it makes Still from I Am Your a Super Bowl commercial appear posiGrandma, 2011. tively Tolstoyan. In it, Mayer sings,

It also introduced her to someone who would become a close friend and mentor. At the time, writer and curator Sylvie Fortin was the editor-in-chief of Art Papers, an Atlanta-based bimonthly magazine. A publication with an international presence and strong ties to the region, Art Papers was an ideal megaphone for a young artist coming out of Florida. When Fortin discovered Mayer’s work, she put her on the cover. They have been close ever since. Grandma is pure Borscht—precision masquerading as DIY irreverence, humor cut with pathos. “Lucas [Leyva] and I have a lot of visual meeting points. We have very different artistic backgrounds but a similar sense of humor,” says Mayer, speaking about one of Borscht’s founders and her longtime creative partner. “We strive to make unique imagery. We’re not film students; we don’t have film degrees. We’ve navigated these waters ourselves and figured it out as we went.” Mayer has worked closely with Leyva on numerous projects—take Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke, in which the 2 Live Crew frontman was cast in an absurd reimagining of Chris Marker’s La Jetée (a short film about time travel). The film premiered at Sundance in 2012 and was screened at more than 30 film festivals that year, including SXSW. Currently, they’re developing a series of shorts for MTV—a “sur-reality show about growing up in Miami,” called No Seasons, after a Jacuzzi Boys song. It was her collaborations with Borscht that first caught the eye of Chana

“Many famous artworks become posters that are sold at the mall. It doesn’t make the original worth any less.” —Jillian Mayer

“There was a time I was aware that one day I’d be dead.” But with over 3 million views, who really dies? The piece broke new ground for Mayer. By that point, she had already entered both video production (her short Scenic Jogging—also Borscht produced—was shown at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, as part of “YouTube Play. A Biennial of Creative Video”) and Miami’s gallery scene. In fact, her first solo show at the David Castillo Gallery in Wynwood had closed the day before Grandma went live on May 8, 2011. The video could be purchased as part of an edition of five from Castillo or seen online for free. To some, this seems counterintuitive, and Mayer concedes that “it takes a certain type of collector to collect video work,” but it’s not that much of a departure. “Many famous artworks become posters that are sold at the mall. It doesn’t make the original worth any less,” she says. But Grandma was important for two other reasons. For one, there was the sheer scale of consumption. It is not unheard of for millions of people to find themselves in front of the same work of art. (Think a troop of selfie-stick-wielding tourists battling for a prime view of the Mona Lisa.) “It makes you think about the amount of people that consume content,” Mayer says of the first million hits. “It’s always nice to make something that resonates with many different groups for many different reasons.” Not only did the piece ping through the worlds of contemporary art and popular culture, it has been remade more than 100 times by other YouTube users, as messages to their own progeny.

“It’s always nice to make something that resonates with many different groups for many different reasons.” —Jillian Mayer Budgazad Sheldon, the executive director of Locust Projects (a not-for-profit exhibition space for contemporary visual artists). Sheldon became taken by the openness and fluidity of Mayer’s work, how she’s able to link different mediums “to represent a generation of people who live technology.” Mayer’s solo exhibition at Locust, “Precipice/ PostModem,” opened to a crowd on May 11, 2013. The show addressed the anxiety and excitement of the information age. The works, like the themes, were both digitally rooted and stubbornly physical. Viewers entered the main gallery through a sealed chamber in which confetti meant to mimic computer pixels swirled around the body. A set of swings were mounted into the ceiling; viewers pendulated into what could be a Windows 95-era screen saver. Two Roombas zipped underfoot, shuttling iPads bearing an avatar of Mayer’s face. The next year, Mayer’s face would appear in a very different context. Fortin had recently left Art Papers and taken a position directing the Montreal Biennale, which was being organized around ideas of the future; Mayer was an obvious choice. Together, they worked to develop Mayer’s most

controversial yet universal piece—400 Nudes. Mayer downloaded 400 nude selfies from around the Internet, Photoshopped her face onto the bodies, and recirculated the images back into the world in two different ways. Digital files were tagged with a variety of search terms (“revenge porn,” “revenge selfie,” but also “Jillian Mayer”) and uploaded to 400nudes.com, a website created for the occasion. She also printed 200,000 images on card stock that were displayed on a rack in Montreal’s Contemporary Art Museum and distributed throughout the city. When asked about how this piece encapsulated Mayer’s evolution as an artist, Fortin says that it’s a matter of confidence. “She always had the intelligence and the awareness of what mattered, of things shifting culturally. Now she has the courage.” The piece debates sexual politics and rights of representation and privacy in an era defined by the lack thereof, but looks to the history of the nude—ourselves, in our most basic state. “I’m aware that words like these encompass everything,” Mayer says, “but these are the things that I think about—the state of identity, the state of existence.” And increasingly, we exist online. jillianmayer.net OD

At José de Diego Middle School, the artists worked to reflect the surrounding world in their art. The top image is by Trek6, a Miami-based artist of Puerto Rican descent. The mural is a collage of different aspects of Puerto Rico’s history. The central figure embodies the generations of farmers; the frog represents the tropical climate, as does the flower, which is found in every house on the island. Similarly, the bottom image, from Word to Mother, reflects the Miami cityscape. Although the organizers didn’t want graffiti (seeing it as an open invitation for anybody with a spray can), the artist bombarded a wall with Miami-centric tags and then whited everything out except for the believe, elevating the everyday. opposite page: Murals by (clockwise from top left)

MTO painted this portrayal of a dunce-capped child in time-out. The socially minded French artist addresses a specific issue with each piece. This looks at budget cuts for the arts, both at José de Diego Middle School and around the country. “I thought the teachers and the school district weren’t going to like it,” says Robert William de los Rios, who is helping revitalize the school’s arts program, “but it is overwhelmingly their favorite.” RAW has created a limited edition of T-shirts with this image that will be sold to raise money for the school.

Which makes less sense in Wynwood—a blank wall or a public school without an arts program? Robert William de los Rios would argue for a tie. Raised in Hialeah, de los Rios is “100 percent the product of the 305,” and has seen art change his hometown. Over the past few years, he’s documented the colorful eruption of Miami’s street art as the cofounder of wynwoodmap.com. Last March, he and Wynwood Arts District Association’s Patrick Walsh met with April Thompson-Williams, the new principal at José de Diego Middle School ( JDD) in Wynwood, to discuss bringing art into the school. Located next to the Bakehouse Art Complex in the northwest corner of Wynwood, José de Diego Middle School faces a plight similar to that of many Florida schools. Enrollment in charter schools has decimated the public school’s student body (although built for 2,000 kids, enrollment at JDD hovers around 600), and its art department had been eliminated four years earlier, the victim of the former principal’s attempt to balance the budget. Thompson-Williams showed de los Rios and Walsh around. They saw the art room, which had no teacher; they saw the band room, which had no teacher. Outside, with its barren white walls, the school was but a lens flare in the otherwise color-drenched neighborhood. Together with Walsh and Thompson-Williams, de los Rios founded Re-imagining the Arts in Wynwood (RAW) to put art on the walls and back in the classrooms. He reached out to the entire neighborhood, gathering support from restaurants like Suviche and galleries like Primary, Spinello Projects, Robert Fontaine, and Gregg Shienbaum. Kobra and Liquitex donated over 2,000 cans of spray paint. Inviting both local and international artists, de los Rios started a chain reaction where everybody wanted to paint a piece of JDD. “We started with 35 artists, and now we have 71,” he says. “And when I say that we painted every wall, I mean every wall.” Interior, exterior, hallways, courtyard, auditorium—even the roof, so that tourists can see it as their plane descends into nearby MIA (“Also, Google Earth,” de los Rios points out). José de Diego’s students also helped out, both with paint and with their opinions. Last year, Thompson-Williams rearranged funds to hire one art teacher, but it doesn’t stop there. All of the artists donated work to be auctioned off as part of a twoyear, $500,000 fundraising drive that will fund an arts magnet program in the school. The project’s launch during last year’s Art Basel in Miami Beach garnered plenty of media attention, but today, six months in, the website shows that only $4,070 has been donated (visit projectwynwood.com to contribute). De los Rios is a bit frustrated, but is not discouraged. The number is growing incrementally—the 2015 Wynwood Life festival recently raised $6,000. And, most importantly, the idea itself is spreading. “I’ve had three sit-down meetings with the superintendent’s office of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. They want to do this in every single school in the county.” 3100 NW Fifth Ave., Miami, 305-573-7229; jdiegoms.org OD

This hyperrealistic chrome dog was painted by Bikismo, another Puerto Rican artist. In the trompe l’oeil curves of the animal, viewers can see reflections of the surrounding neighborhood. De los Rios jokes that people came up to him disappointed they didn’t see their own reflection. The artist’s heritage is also significant. Twice a year, officials from the Puerto Rican school system visit José de Diego as a model for their own education system. Because of this, it was important to include Puerto Rican artists in this program emphasizing the necessity of the arts.

While making his film Mediocre, the Miami-based artist Axel Void came across a 6-year-old named Papa pushing a bicycle through Overtown. Using liquid paint (as opposed to a spray can), the artist painted a wall-size version of the image in hopes that the humility of the child would remind viewers of the residents who live in the surrounding neighborhoods. De los Rios sums it up nicely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This kid exists in real life.â&#x20AC;? background: Muro-One, from Spain.

MOMTREPRENEUR: Chelsea hirsChhorn The president of baby products company FridaBaby—home to every mom’s favorite apparatus, the Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator—Chelsea Hirschhorn had big decisions to make. In 2010, she was a bankruptcy attorney in New York City, when the private equity firm her husband worked for acquired Burger King, and he received an offer to move to Miami and become the CMO of Burger King’s North American Division. Instead of taking the Florida Bar exam and searching for a similar position, Hirschhorn opted to think outside the box and use both her legal prowess and business savvy to restructure her career path. “Relocating really changed my appetite for risk,” she says. “It changed the way I looked at opportunities that came across my desk.” She landed a job as associate counsel and director of special events for the Miami Marlins before taking the reins at FridaBaby (fridababy.com) last year. There, she’s not only an innovator expanding a portfolio of products that includes the famous NoseFrida, she’s also a business leader running a company, and, occasionally, she’s still a lawyer. “When it comes to innovation, Miami is quite liberating,” she says. “I became unhinged from a very tunnel-vision focus on what is considered the norm with designing new parenting products, and with respect to my career path. I don’t see myself creating the same type of balanced life and career and enjoying it as much as I do in any city other than Miami.”

The days of jusT spring-breakers and snowbirds are ouT, as a workforce and families from all over The world are flocking To miami and calling iT home. by Jon warech photography by Jeffery Salter shot on location at the Biltmore

When Dr. LaWrence Schiffman WaS an unDergraDuate at the univerSity of miami, he fell in love with this city for the same reason that most people do—the year-round sunshine, the glistening ocean waters, and the vibrant nightlife. A New Jersey native, Schiffman dreamed of returning and calling Miami his permanent home, but at the time, starting a successful dermatology practice in a vacation town seemed impossible. “I went back up north for all of my medical training, and when I finished my residency requirements, I looked into returning,” says Schiffman. “I knew that if I went to work for a group practice in New York or Philadelphia, I could make a lot more money, but I wanted more out of life.” Schiffman’s thoughts might have been typical for professionals just a few years ago, but more and more people are deciding there’s no reason to wait to live in paradise. Schiffman himself headed south, worked for a group practice in Miami, and in July 2012, he broke out on his own and opened Miami Skin Doctor. “I set up shop in Doral, where there were very few dermatologists, and in three years the town has grown exponentially around me,” he says. “It’s expanding so much that I can’t even get into the office sometimes.” Doral, which is home to corporate headquarters for Carnival Cruise Lines, Univision, the Miami Herald, and many other major companies, is just one area of Miami that is booming, and Schiffman’s success story of a practice that “is growing faster than I can keep up with” is one of many in a developing city where sun and fun are taking a backseat to entrepreneurship, big business, and a plethora of opportunities for people in all professions. “No longer is Miami simply known as a place where the rich come to play,” says Alyce Robertson, executive director of Miami’s Downtown Development Authority, an independent public agency helping business boom downtown. “It has emerged as a sophisticated financial hub where real money is being put to work. Dozens of hedge funds and other financial firms are flocking to Miami’s urban core from New York, California, and parts of Latin America.” Miami’s evolving design and culture scenes act as a magnet now more than ever.

In HIs Own wOrds… Mayor Philip Levine discusses Miami Beach’s growth and plans for the future. “In the past, Miami Beach was known as the sun and fun capital of the world, and that was it. Today that is part of our brand appeal, but at the same time, people from all over the world, of all types of backgrounds, professions, and industries are seeing Miami Beach as a place to get sand in their shoes while collaborating with folks creatively, building businesses, getting new jobs, or using Miami Beach as a home base to travel the world to wherever pursuits may be. To foster that, as a city we are making sure that our streets are dry by cutting back on sea-level rise, renovating our convention center, and making sure the quality of life remains solid by having the right infrastructure in place. We put together a free trolley program, and we are looking at a variety of public transportation alternatives that we hope to announce this year that will allow people to move

around more freely, with less traffc. As far as pollution is concerned, we formed a sustainability committee, chaired by [Miami Beach Commissioner] Michael Grieco, to see all types of environmental-sustainability positions the city can undertake to make Miami Beach greener. I think we’ve been a great leader in that. We are also changing the culture of city government. This used to be a city where you would go to get a permit to start a business, and they started at ‘no.’ What we’ve tried to do, and we’ve been successful so far, is create a culture of a city that starts at ‘yes,’ where residents and businesses are treated as customers. We love to encourage entrepreneurism and more companies like Rokk3r Labs, a high-tech start-up organization that funds other high-tech companies and is based in Miami Beach. It is one of many great entrepreneurial companies doing fabulous here.”

more than a decade ago and opened AM Profile, a furniture and custom-closets store in the Design District. Smulevich moved back to Argentina after school, chasing what he thought was a better opportunity. But with the Design District morphing into one of the country’s top high-end shopping destinations over the past few years, he knew Miami was the place to be. “I moved back here four years ago because Miami offered an opportunity to grow as a businessman in a way that Argentina did not,” says Smulevich, who now owns and operates AM Profile. “For South Americans, it’s a lot easier to be in Miami than anywhere else because of the language and the culture. We can be successful here without having to change too much of our daily lives.” Though the Latin influence makes Miami an American city like no other, the growing cultural and intellectual landscape lends a gravitas that Miami lacked in decades past. The Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, and the arrival of the Faena Forum, the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, and even smaller projects like the Wynwood Greenhouse put Miami on par with any major US city. “Specifically in the art world, everyone is watching Miami,” says Leann Standish, who came here from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in 2011 to become the deputy director of external affairs at PAMM. “Everywhere I travel, people ask about the museum. Miami is in a very unique position in that it’s an important international city, yet it is also a young city that moves at an incredibly fast pace.” While the quick advancements have more people planting roots in Miami, tourism is still going strong. New hotels continue to pop up all over town, and new restaurants are opening their doors on what feels like a daily basis, coming from Canada, Europe, South America, and, of course, New York. Celebrity chefs are either opening outposts of their famed eateries here or using the city as a launching pad for new establishments. Tourism is thriving, but now it’s no longer Miami’s only source of income. In fact, many of those tourists end up staying after their vacation. On average, 50,000 New Yorkers relocate to Florida every year. More than 537,000 people from all over the world moved here last year, according to 2014 Census figures, making Florida now the third-most-populated state in the country, behind California and Texas. “People are shocked to learn that the tourism component of the Miami economy accounts for just 12 percent of employment—the third-largest sector of employment, behind professional and business services (16 percent) and education and health services (15 percent),” says Jordan Niefeld, a CPA, certified financial planner, and investment advisor at Raymond James in Aventura. “With companies like ExxonMobil, Sony, IBM, Cisco Systems, Caterpillar, and Johnson & Johnson locating their Latin American headquarters in Miami,

UNDER THE SEA: EldrEdgE “Biff” BErmingham Late last year, Eldredge “Biff” Bermingham, now the chief science officer at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science (miamisci.org), visited Miami and was shocked by what he saw. The former director and senior scientist for the Smithsonian’s Tropical Research Institute in Panama had visited in the late ’90s and ultimately turned down a job at the University of Miami because the city lacked enough cultural advantages over Panama. “I came back to consider the Frost position, and frankly I was blown away by how Miami had changed,” he says, citing the museums, theaters, galleries, and groups like Cannonball (a small arts center) and Creative Mornings (a breakfast lecture series) for igniting that evolution. “There’s just one thing after another here that provides really interesting social and intellectual content that I find really tremendous.” The Frost Museum will play a big role in the city’s advancement when it opens its doors next year, and Bermingham will lead the charge, overseeing all science content and scientific research in the museum’s exhibits, programs, and publications. “I anticipate this museum will have extraordinary local importance but also a true global reach,” he says. “Being able to be associated with a museum like that, directing the scientific content and the way that we connect locally, regionally, and globally is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

BREAKING NEWS: Rick Folbaum The job of anchoring the evening news in Miami used to be seen as a jumping-off point for moving to a larger market like New York or Chicago, but for Rick Folbaum of CBS4, Miami’s attraction on a global scale made it the perfect destination to further his career. “Miami has a level of importance that is greater than some other cities that may be a bigger market,” says Folbaum, who moved here in 2013. “This city is at the forefront of an exciting revolution in the country, where you have the influence of Latin America and a wave of people coming to this country to find the American dream.” Folbaum, who spent a large portion of his career with Fox News Channel in New York, has seen it all. He was one of the first reporters on the scene during the September 11 attacks, he anchored coverage of Superstorm Sandy, and as a foreign correspondent he reported on everything from rocket attacks in Israel to Prince Edward’s wedding. But now, the story is in Miami. “From a news standpoint, there is no better place,” he says. “We’ve got two viable presidential candidates from South Florida, and we are the frontline of the new economy, geopolitics, and relations with Latin America and Cuba. To cover such an interesting and exciting place was too good of an opportunity to pass up.”

VISUALIZING THE FUTURE: Zoe Lukov When Zoe Lukov, director of exhibitions at Faena Art (faena.com), received the call to move to Miami last year, she jumped at the chance. Her career in the arts had taken her to Colombia for a Fulbright Fellowship, New York as program coordinator at The Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, and Los Angeles as curatorial coordinator at The Museum of Contemporary Art. But Miami was her chance to find career stability. “Moving to Miami wasn’t even a question,” she says. “I’ve had amazing experiences in cultural communities around the world, but I knew I wanted to make a career in the arts in Miami.” With Faena, Lukov works alongside Ximena Caminos, executive director of Faena Forum, to create programming with international artists in both Argentina and throughout the Faena District Miami Beach, a new cultural neighborhood from 32nd to 36th Streets on Collins Avenue that includes the Faena Forum, a performance and exhibition space opening later this year. “Our program is going to be truly multidisciplinary, encompassing visual and performing arts, and serving as a platform for the exploration of ideas related to culture in the broadest sense of the term,” she says. “Miami offers a lot of space for the creative community to imagine and foster what we collectively want from this place, which is a rare opportunity and something I’m very excited to contribute to.”

that number will continue to shift.” And, of course, there have been those rumors about Facebook setting up shop in Wynwood. Miami’s development in recent years into a well-rounded city has attracted big spenders looking to get in on the action. The Knight Frank 2015 Wealth Report’s Global Cities Survey recently revealed that only two US cities ranked in the top 10 for global investment—New York and Miami, which, according to Jacob Roffman, principal of 13th Floor Investments, means that investment in Miami should remain. In fact, 28 of Florida’s total 42 billionaires list South Florida specifically as their primary residence, according to Forbes’s World’s Billionaires list of 2015. Billionaires tend to know something about where to live, invest, and work. “Miami continues to mature as a city and is, today, far more than simply a gateway to Latin America—it is a gateway to the world, and a magnet for highimpact investment,” says Roffman. “Miami is a safe and secure place for foreign investors to put their money.” On a small-business scale, though, Miami is a land of opportunity as well. Stacy Josloff, owner of Pure Therapy and designer of Inca Swimwear, opened a retail store in Miami Beach six years ago but planned to move back to New York after the first year. “One year passed. Two years passed. Now we’re on year seven,” she says. “I always thought that New York was the place that I’d live and die in, but in Manhattan, if your last name isn’t Rockefeller, it’s hard to be an entrepreneur. If you retain the work ethic and business mind that you had in New York and bring it down here, there is opportunity to grow and be successful.” Dr. Schiffman echoes that sentiment. “In New York, you have 50 million dermatologists with their own skincare lines and TV shows,” he says. “You can be part of that, but you’re just one of many. Here, there is a sense that all goals can be achieved if you put your mind to it.” In Miami, doctors, lawyers, artists, and businesspeople of all kinds are achieving career milestones that less than a decade ago seemed impossible. The idea of working where others vacation is no longer a pipe dream but instead a reality as Miami morphs into the city that Schiffman hoped it could be back when he was a college student. “My practice is growing at a phenomenal pace, I met the love of my life, and I’m on the water nearly every weekend,” he says. “It’s a pretty nice life.” Which basically proves if you can make it here, you don’t need to make it anywhere else.

THE PERFECT MATCH: J.P. Rosenbaum & ashley hebeRt

The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables opened in 1926, and 70 years later it was named to the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic Landmark. It recently completed a $40 million renovation program, including restoration of the 18-hole championship golf course and its 22,000-square-foot pool, the largest hotel pool in the continental US. biltmorehotel.com

It was a televised match made in heaven for J.P. Rosenbaum and Ashley Hebert, who fell in love on Season 7 of The Bachelorette. Once the honeymoon was over, though, it was time to get down to business, and they both decided Miami was the place to make it happen. The couple was living in Princeton, New Jersey, with Hebert commuting to Philadelphia to finish her dental residency and Rosenbaum traveling to New York to work for Greystone & Co. property development. Last year, Rosenbaum’s company was looking for someone to run its properties in South Florida, so the couple made a move. “Miami is the perfect fit for us,” says Hebert, who is opening her own pediatricdental practice. “Miami is a great place to start a business. All the areas are developing. We’re excited to be here and be a part of it.” The move could have been temporary, ending when Rosenbaum’s job as development director for The Mile in Coral Gables and 2500 Biscayne Boulevard in Edgewater was complete. But after living in Brickell for a year and welcoming their first child, Fordham Rhys, last September, it seems that Miami is getting the final rose. “We’ve grown to love it,” says Rosenbaum. “Once Ashley decided to open her practice, we knew there was no turning back. We’re definitely here to stay.”

Coffee has evolved from a utilitarian piCk-me-up to refined drink prompting talk of terroir, bean origin, and roasting as art. it’s Called Coffee’s third wave, and it has hit miami. By Bill Kearney photography By mary Beth Koeth

TeeTering To keep your balance on the slope, you elbow your way through stubborn jungle bushes and catch a glimpse of the valley below. Women sing in the distance, their voices muffled by undergrowth while they work their way through rows of coffee plants. As they approach, you see through the thicket their quick hands nipping only the red “cherries” off the stems, leaving the green fruit to ripen longer, branch after branch, bush after bush, bucket after bucket, the tally of which will determine their wage for the day. Each bucket will bring $2, and its content, the coffee cherries, will be fermented, the wet pale beans extracted from the fruit and dried. Some farms will send their good beans to mass commodity markets funneling coffee to a global hierarchy of corporate roasters—Folgers, Nescafé, Starbucks, Peet’s. But what about the special beans, the exquisite beans? Those, now more than ever, end up fueling what has become known as coffee’s third wave. Walk into Eternity Coffee Roasters in downtown Miami and the chalkboard menu offers beans from specific farms in Colombia, Papua New Guinea, or Burundi replete with tasting notes like “clover honey, molasses, kumquat.” In the corner sits a Victorian-looking contraption, a roaster, churning out bag after bag of fragrant light-brown beans. No, this is not your father’s coffee shop. Your father’s coffee shop was part of coffee’s first wave—diners, doughnut shops, and Folgers in a can. The second wave emerged in the 1960s with Peet’s, eventually followed decades later by Starbucks and its ilk—chains that elevated the conversation around coffee but worked on too massive a scale to create custom roasts for small-lot beans. Third-wave shops are privately owned, small-scale operations with their own roasting machines so as to delicately unleash the idiosyncrasies of each farm’s treasure. Just as crucial to the third wave are the shops’ relationships with either specific high-quality farms or with well-connected exporters who can get the best beans. The goal is single-estate flavor, just like terroir in wine. Beans from a single hillside or valley can, in the right hands, produce the distinct aromas, fragrances, mouthfeel, and flavors that make coffee geeks giddy. Beans in the roaster at Panther Coffee. On the vanguard of Miami’s third-wave, singleorigin coffee movement, the company opened its first store in Wynwood in 2010. left: Foam art tops a latte at Eternity Coffee Roasters.

ThE ThIRd WAVE BEGAN sometime in the mid-’90s at various roasting hotbeds such as Portland, Oregon, and Oakland, California, and spread nationally over the past 15 years. The percentage of adults drinking specialty coffee (defined as unique beans from unique microclimates) in the US rose from 9 percent in 1999 to 34 percent in 2014, according to the National Coffee

Association. These days, you can even go to barista camp to learn the religion. Joel Pollock, who co-owns Panther Coffee with his wife, Leticia, sets down a mug of Kenyan Kamviu. I’m immediately struck by the highly pleasant aroma of dry hay, and something sweet. Upon sipping, it is gentle, balanced, even delicate—I wouldn’t want to cloak it with milk. Panther is by far the most visible third-wave company in Miami, with a runaway hit in Wynwood, which opened in 2010, and a second location in Sunset Harbour. In the next year, they’ll have additional shops in Coconut Grove and the MiMo District, and a coffee lab and training center in Little Haiti. Joel picked up his roasting skills in the ’90s while a student at the University of Montana, and Leticia was a barista trainer in Brazil. They met at a coffee conference and were part of the coffee movement in Portland before vacationing here in 2009. Once they saw Miami’s burgeoning food scene and lack of a coffee scene, they decided to make a move and open a shop. Roasting is considered the art of this movement. In general, beans are roasted for eight minutes or so, with heat intensifying at different points, until they crack once (an audible pop akin to popcorn) or sometimes twice, depending on the artist. “You take certain physical changes in the coffee, and you move around when they occur [in the roast],” says Pollock. “I get a lot more vivid notes out of the coffee, and I’ve found that very gratifying.” He decidedly does not take the bean to a second crack. At Panther’s counter, you can choose from its more acidic West Coast blend, its softer East Coast blend, or a range of single-origin beans such as the Kenyan I tried, or a Brazilian Fazenda Irmas Pereira with notes of “creamy dark chocolate, malted milk, and macadamia nut, [and] maple sweetness.” These days, Panther sells its beans to about 100 restaurants and retailers and will be adding a second roaster in Little Haiti. FOLLOW THE RIO BOLIvAR into the mountains outside Medellin, Colombia, far enough and you eventually reach the hamlet of Bolivar, tucked into the featherfolds of rugged coffee-covered slopes. The cobbled town square bustles, surrounded by side streets lined with coffee weigh stations. Growers from the surrounding mountains—most of whom farm lots of less than four acres—bring in their beans to the coffee hub of Bolivar via trucks, ATvs, even mules, and decide where to sell. Some have relationships with exporters who connect with shops like Eternity and Panther, whose owners travel to Colombia, roast on-site, taste stewed coffee, often with the farmers, and decide on which farms they’ll buy from. Larger companies, because of their volume, rely on blending beans, which can still result in lovely coffee; it’s just less specific. Coffee has been a stabilizing force in rural Colombia, a landscape easily influenced by the drug trade. No one knows exactly where or when coffee was discovered, but according to legend, a shepherd tending his flock high in the peaks of what is now Ethiopia noticed his goats were exceptionally rowdy after nibbling on a certain bush. He tried some and caught a nice little buzz himself. Coffee spread to the Arab world, possibly when Ethiopia controlled Yemen in the sixth century, and was soon a lucrative seed for the Ottoman Turks, who forbade

the export of fertile berries. Eventually, though, seeds were smuggled out. By 1683, venice had its first coffee house. Boston had one by 1689, and the New World’s tropical colonies were growing coffee once it was smuggled in, sometimes via romantic trysts and cherry-laden bouquets. BACK AT ETERNITY COFFEE ROASTERS, owner Chris Johnson guides me through a cupping—a strict protocol of smelling the fragrance of the dry grounds, the aroma of the hot wet grounds, and then whisking the hot liquid into our mouths to judge taste, acidity, mouthfeel, and aftertaste. This is how he and other buyers judge a bean’s potential, both when sourcing in the mountains and when experimenting with roasting pace and arcs here. Johnson, who opened Eternity in 2011, went from being a banker to trading coffee commodities to importing. “I was looking for great coffees to sell to other guys who were roasting,” he says, but then he caught the roasting bug himself. “In my prior life, I was a musician, so I play that thing [the roaster] like an instrument—sometimes you have to bend a note up to get it just right, and sometimes I’ll bend that thing to get what I’m after.” Johnson, too, avoids a second crack. “It’s like

taking a really good steak and saying, ‘Give it to me well done.’” When he’s not roasting, Johnson is shooting a documentary about searching for the perfect bean, and selling to places such as Miam Café & Boutique in Wynwood and Whole Foods Markets throughout Florida. The wave is spreading well beyond downtown and Wynwood. At North Miami’s Alaska Coffee Roasting Co., Michael Gesser browns single-origin coffees such as Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, from which he extracts startling notes of jasmine, bergamot, and lemon. Gesser, who was ahead of his time when he bought a roaster in 1993 and opened a shop in Fairbanks, Alaska, is a bit of an outlier in that he uses a fluid bed roaster to create extremely even temperatures on the beans, and doesn’t worry about cracks, as long as the beans briefly reach 450 degrees Fahrenheit, where the magic happens. This slightly darker “European roast,” he says, is less acidic than the light American roasts currently in vogue and gives him the flavors he likes. He opened the Miami shop with his sister just over three years ago and pegs the thirdwave boom to a simple notion. “It was so underdeveloped. Now it’s rightfully taking its place.” He also nods to Starbucks’ influence on the market, but notes that it’s physically impossible, at the company’s size, to do single origin. To him, quality is a smallscale game. The third wave has grown pronounced enough to make some larger operators adapt, with one of the more interesting efforts coming from Juan Valdez, the vertical retail operation of the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation. Though Juan the character was dreamed up by an advertising firm in Manhattan in 1959 and used to connote quality coffee for decades, the executives at the Federation noticed in the ’90s that roasters (Starbucks, Folgers, etc.), not Colombian farmers, were making the bulk of the money off a pound of coffee. To get a piece of the retail action, they went vertical, opening Juan Valdez Cafés around Central and South America (as well as two in downtown Miami). By 2013, the influence of the third wave inspired them to move in the direction of single origin. Though not from single farms, their Origins line divides their coffees into the five growing regions in Colombia, each with defining characteristics of altitude, shade, humidity, soil content, and thus flavor. Panther Coffee’s Joel Pollock sees the rise of the third wave as a logical response to the US reevaluating the way we approach all things culinary. “It means you know where your food came from,” he says. Eternity Coffee Roasters’ Johnson adds, “Ten years ago, this would not have worked, [but] when all of a sudden you drink something that’s clearly superior, your palate just woke up overnight.” Maybe it’s that in a busy world we all want to be special, and special creatures wouldn’t drink common, average, commodified things. We want something that cannot be digitally reproduced; in fact, it may never be reproduced at all. Or maybe it’s about being lucky enough to witness what this world has to offer. “When I decided to be in the coffee business,” says Gesser, “I sequestered myself in a log cabin in Alaska with a friend. We roasted and cupped coffees; there was smoke coming out of the cabin. We got this Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, and we both looked at each other and said, ‘Are we really on earth? Is there some garden of tropical madness taking over the entire cabin?’ That garden of flowers in my brain—I can never forget that.” OD

METHOD MADNESS Brewing methods change a bean’s expression. Some baristas believe filter methods make a cleaner cup for the floral acidity of high-altitude coffees, while pressure methods are best for earthy expressions of mid-altitude beans. It’s really up to the drinker to experiment. FILTER METHODS Drip: Enhances acidity and creates clean flavors. Recommended for soft, balanced coffees. Pour-over: (Chemex, V60) Creates a very clean cup, with pronounced delineation of flavors, light body, and vibrant, clean acidity. Clover: A bit of a hybrid. The filter creates clean flavors, but the immersion allows for more body. Cold brew: Without heat, the coffee can steep for nine to 20 hours. Expect low acidity and high flavor. PRESSURE METHODS French press: Allows for the fats and oils to be expressed, giving body, rich mouthfeel, and lingering texture. Aero Press: Another hybrid. Quick brew time means less acidity, and the filter makes it a bit cleaner than a French press. Steampunk: Uses a pressure extraction, like the French press, but with precise time and temperature to produce clear, pronounced flavors and full body.

Fresh out oF the gate, 1 Hotel & Homes soutH BeacH brings new, eco-Friendly liFe to a Forever expanding south beach. by robyn a. friedman Walking into 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach is an assault upon your senses—in a good way. The hotel’s signature scent, an aromatic bouquet of eucalyptus, cedarwood, and oak, provides a hint of aromatherapy. A lilting spa-like melody fills the air. The greenery, from living walls to exotic orchids to terrariums in which butterflies hatch, evokes a lush, romantic feel. And the community pods in the lobby—clustered seating areas with natural materials, nature-inspired accessories, and plush Flokati shag rugs—make guests feel like they’ve just walked into the vision of a perfect living room, certainly not the lobby of a mixed-use hotel and residences in the often-termed “flashy” South Beach. It adds up to 1 Hotel & Homes elevating expectations when it comes to hotels and their connection to the earth. “At first, our guests may simply notice the graceful twist of driftwood in the furnishings,” says Barry Sternlicht, chairman and chief executive officer of Starwood Capital Group, which launched not only this hotel but also the 1 Hotels brand in March. “However, what we are really offering is an evolution of the entire hotel experience, one continued on page 214

Over 80 percent of the non-penthouse units are sold, Sternlicht says, as well as a “handful” of the penthouses, which range from 1,694 to 4,207 square feet; three of the units are duplexes. The residences, which are priced from $1.5 to $20 million, feature

custom kitchens, travertine bathrooms, Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances, and custom vanities by Italkraft. Plus, residents have access to all hotel services and amenities. “When the opportunity presented itself to purchase one of South Beach’s best buildings, I knew the property had the potential to become something great,” says LeFrak. “I’ve known Barry for a long time and was excited to bring together our shared expertise of real estate and hospitality to do something very unique.” Sternlicht’s new brand debuted with the opening of 1 Hotel South Beach, but two additional hotels will

open in New York by the end of the year: 1 Hotel Central Park and 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge Park. The founder of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide and the creator of W Hotels, Sternlicht has been planning the concept behind 1 Hotels since before the financial crisis. “We’re not a brand; we’re a cause,” he says. “I wanted to do something more meaningful than just another hotel brand. If people could see that you can live well and live [in a way that’s] ecologically sensitive, then maybe they will copy us and adapt it to their homes. You’ve seen lower-end hotels do eco, but you’ve never seen it in luxury and the extensiveness of what we’ve tried to do here.” A commitment to sustainability is evident throughout the resort. Sternlicht even hired an employee dedicated solely to sustainability to minimize the impact of the project, which is expected to receive LEED Silver certification from the US Green Building Council. “It was a challenge to take an existing building with a lot of history and up-cycle the property,” says Michael Laas, director of impact for SH Group, an affiliate of Starwood Capital and the management company for the hotel. “It was a beast of a building, so getting LEED Silver is a pretty big success story.” 1 Hotel South Beach utilizes reclaimed wood, such as Colorado-beetle-kill pine (for headboards) and ipe wood from the property’s original boardwalk (for the pool deck). The design also incorporates energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, motion sensors, low-VOC paint, triple water filters in all taps, sinks, and showers, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. Laas projects savings of 9 percent in energy costs as well as 38 percent in water reduction over what a comparable building would use. The Meyer Davis-designed interiors include guest rooms and suites featuring hemp-blend Keetsa mattresses topped with organic linens, hangers crafted from recycled paper, bedside chalkboards for notes (instead of paper), and even room keys made from recycled wood. Amenities at the property include the restaurant Beachcraft from celebrity chef Tom Colicchio, lobby lounge bar Tom on Collins, and poolside restaurant The Sand Box. On-site there are four swimming pools, including a 112-foot-long pool that’s part of the 26,000-square-foot rooftop lounge that has already welcomed Paris Hilton, Tommy Hilfiger, and Giancarlo Stanton. There’s also an 18,000-square-foot wellness center and spa and childcare program, and 600 linear feet of beach. Why did Sternlicht choose Miami Beach for the first hotel in his new brand? “It was a race between New York and Miami, two of the top hotel markets in the United States,” he says. He plans to expand the brand into other major markets in the United States as well as internationally. “I wanted proof of concept. We’re our own guinea pig. But we’ll figure it out and rapidly expand from here.” 2341 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-604-1000; 1hotels.com OD

All Inclusive

A new wAve of super buildings from miAmi developers Are creAting self-contAined communities, housing prActicAlly A city within A city. By sean mccaughan In Miami, the residential amenity race is reaching new heights. The trend is very South American, where an entire world of entertainment options can exist in self-contained residential enclaves, often for security reasons. Miami’s movement, however, is more about developers outdoing the competition with vast arrays of amenities rivaling even the finest all-inclusive resorts. These self-contained Xanadus, with their restaurants, soccer fields, ice skating rinks, rooftop lounges, and shopping malls, cater to the new residents of Miami who want to avoid the city’s ever-worsening traffic or still feel like they are in Brazil or Manhattan. Yes, Miamians are having their cake and eating it, too. 1010 Brickell

Currently under construction in Brickell, the family-oriented 1010 Brickell comes with features such as an impact-absorbent jogging track overlooking the Miami skyline, a rock climbing wall, and—unusual for Miami—an indoor pool. “We wanted an exceptional assortment of amenities that included several sport-centric offerings,” says Inigo Ardid, copresident of Key International, which is jointly developing the 387-unit, 47-story building with 13th Floor Investments. 1010 Brickell will have an indoor multipurpose sports court for basketball, volleyball, and soccer; a separate squash court; a game room with bowling alley; a spa with hammam, plunge pools, and various treatment rooms; and a large fitness center. A restaurant, outdoor movie theater, and additional pool will all be located on the roof. Sales center located at Mint at Riverfront, 92 SW Third St., Miami, 305-377-1025; 1010brickell.com

Paramount miami Worldcenter

Paramount Miami Worldcenter has the unique advantage of being built on top of a full shopping mall, which means the roof of the mall will be its one-of-a-kind amenity deck. Project developer Daniel Kodsi notes that the development offers unusual elements such as a “jam room” where kids can record music, a boxing ring, and the country’s first residential rooftop soccer field. The slew of bonus attractions also includes a resort-sized pool, floating seating pods, tennis courts, and an “outdoor bath garden” connected to the spa. Atop the 60-story tower, a three-level skydeck offers yet another pool, an indoor lounge, and a fire pit.

Michael Goldstein, president of sales for The Trump Group, says that the expectations of “today’s ultra-highnet-worth individuals have raised the standard of living, influencing developers to curate amenities specifically tailored to the South Florida oceanfront lifestyle.” Those expectations have compelled The Trump Group to pile on the amenities at The Estates at Acqualina, the latest residential expansion of its Acqualina Resort & Spa in Sunny Isles Beach, which will consist of two towers with a total of 264 units set on 5.6 acres. The amenity package includes six pools, a FlowRider wave simulator, a bowling alley, and an ice skating rink.

Once a rundOwn sectiOn Of MiaMi Beach, South of fifth has develOped intO One Of the MOst luxuriOus neighBOrhOOds in the wOrld. by jon warech

Over the course of Miami Beach’s 100-year history, the South of Fifth neighborhood has gone from swampland to wasteland to some sort of fantasyland, with some of the top-grossing restaurants in the country, celebrity and über-wealthy residents, and multimillion-dollar condos at every turn. “It’s one of the most beautiful and luxurious neighborhoods in the country,” says Dan Hechtkopf, director of luxury sales at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, who also happens to live in the community. “It’s a protected little nook of South Beach where you can walk from your home to fine dining, renowned nightlife destinations, and the best beach in the city.”

better way to do this than to work with YoungArts, another outstanding institution in Miami? They are in the neighborhood; they have phenomenal programs and a great alumni network. It was the perfect fit. We wanted to give young talent an opportunity to feature their work. How were the three pieces of art selected? PH: We launched this competition, [and] they did a callout to YoungArts alumni. We received numerous proposals and selected the three best. Giving these emerging artists an award ($10,000 for Dream of Flight; $5,000 each for Kaleidoscope 87 and Miami Forest), the opportunity to produce a new work, and for it to be placed in a public park is pretty significant for their own professional development. We paid for the production of the pieces. Why was this project important for the YoungArts Foundation? Esther Park: One of our missions is to provide opportunities for alums. We are trying to shape the cultural landscape; public art is a priceless investment in the community. We want to unite public art with residential development. How does the sculpture park add to the appeal of the building and sense of community? cOntinueD On page 222

Art for the People

The latest creative endeavor illuminating Miami’s burgeoning identity as a cultural hot spot, a pocket sculpture park with works by emerging artists, opened June 18 next to Icon Bay, The Related Group’s new 43-story luxury condominium on Biscayne Bay in Edgewater. Donated to Miami-Dade County in April by the developer, Icon Bay Park features three works by National YoungArts Foundation alumni. Kaleidoscope 87, by Miami native Nicole Mouriño (2006 YoungArts winner in Visual Arts), is a raised circle of 80 colorful, eight-squareinch Cuban Deco-style tiles, while Miami Forest, from siblings Nikolas and Michela Bentel, consists of a trio of primary-colored metal poles with native flora cutouts, and Iliya Mirochnik’s Dream of Flight is a voluptuous metal sky landscape with fluttering birds. Ocean Drive talked with Patricia Hanna, art director for The Related Group; Esther Park, director of campus programming for YoungArts; and artist Nicole Mouriño, who helped bring the art park to life.

“Public art is a Priceless investment in the community.”

PH: It creates a neighborhood feel, which is what people look for when they move into a building. How many people can say they have a public sculpture park in their building on the bay? That’s pretty neat. You don’t have to have the art in your apartment. You don’t have to live there to see it every day. As an artist, how did you come up with the idea for your piece? Nicole Mouriño: Three generations of men in my family worked in cement factories in Cuba. I grew up with stories of them mixing pigment by hand into these materials and making flooring. What statement does this piece make? NM: I have the unique perspective of being both American and Cuban. It is bringing something traditional into a new, contemporary space. It is contributing a sensory experience to Miami. [Kaleidoscope 87] is floor tile. It’s interactive. You can stand on it; you can have a picnic on it. I invite people to picnic on my piece. What will this opportunity do for you as an emerging artist? NM: This could be the beginning of a lifetime of work. [The piece] will be seen by many more people because it is in a Miami park as opposed to a private institution or collection. I hope it is an aesthetic that will lead to more ventures and more public spaces in Miami. What will the art park’s impact be on Miami? PH: We are setting a trend. It creates a sense of pride for the neighborhood and helps develop the local cultural scene. It puts Miami on the map for artists and curators and as a cultural destination other than strictly for art fairs in December. 460 NE 28th St., Miami; iconbayresidences.com; youngarts.org OD

EminEnt Domain abode & Beyond Designed by William Lane, the colorful square lifeguard tower at 58th Street has a curved roof to lend a playful appearance, while tongue-and-groove wooden planks add structural strength and a beachy feel.

Guardians of the Beach Before Hurricane Andrew devastated South Florida on August 24, 1992, the lifeguard towers on Miami Beach looked like they could be on a coastal beach anywhere. The nondescript cabins, built by the city, were plain and functional with pyramid-style roofs. That would all change when Miami architect William Lane volunteered his services to rebuild the destroyed structures into conversation pieces that captured the spirit and creativity of the beach and Ocean Drive. Towers by other designers were added after the 2005 storms. These little gems became pop culture icons because of their whimsical designs and bright colors with themes that evoke a Shinto temple, The Jetsons cartoons, and miniature golf. They have been immortalized in postcards, T-shirts, posters, movies, print ads, and a coffee table book, South Beach Lifeguard Stations (Schiffer Publishing, 2008) by Susan Russell. But time and salt air have taken a toll on the 29 structures, so Lane created

224 oceandrive.com

six new prototypes to replace them, each to be painted in various color schemes. The current budget allows building only two new towers; the square design was on display during the city’s March centennial celebration and will be relocated to another area in Miami Beach, while a round design in green, pink, and bright orange is located at 10th Street. Other towers between South Pointe Park and 86th Street were painted and refurbished. “We wanted to reengage some of the imagery we started 20 years ago with rooflines that were playful, childlike, and toylike,” Lane says. “They are urban architecture that goes beyond utilitarian use. They are a branding of the city with a lot of Midcentury Modern and Deco colors that are Caribbean in nature. For a city that is close to the ocean, they are sentinels or guardians.” Lane says the new structures were upgraded with heavier construction— better connectors, larger decks, stainless steel, and bigger wood timbers, as conTinued on page 226

well as impact windows. At eight feet, they’re taller, too, allowing a better vantage point for the lifeguards. Inside, they have more storage and new chairs from the boating industry, while outside they’re protected via lightning rods. “The lifeguard towers are a reflection of Miami Beach Art Deco history,” says Miami Beach City Manager Jimmy L. Morales. “Residents and visitors have grown attached to them over the years because they resonate with South Beach sun and fun. Now, we have two more stands for people to enjoy, and we are working to add more and eventually replace the older towers with new ones when we are able.” OD

EminEnt Domain Style Statement Monica and Cristina Souza at their home. “The differences between us are our biggest strength—we combine and complement each other,” Cristina says of the sisters’ fresh design approach.

SiSter Act

With more than 60 high-end residential interior design projects in the works in top buildings throughout Miami—from The St. Regis Bal Harbour and the Regalia in Sunny Isles to Asia Brickell Key and private residences on Fisher Island—it isn’t surprising that Cristina Souza lives and breathes design. “Designing a space is the same as giving life,” explains the Brazilian-born tastemaker, who says her passion for good design has been in her blood since she was a child. Souza even recalls she once threw a tantrum after seeing a sofa her parents brought home and didn’t let up until they returned it and came back with another that suited her taste. Shortly after earning her bachelor’s degree in interior design and a master’s in fine art at Miami International University of Art, Souza launched Avant Design in 2000, and has attracted the attention of high-profile clients, like Formula 1 racing driver Felipe Massa (whose Miami apartment is currently taking shape under her watchful eye), ever since. Five years ago, she brought her sister, Monica—a former fashion designer and two-time Fendi Casa designer of the month—into her firm, and the Souzas’ collective design approach took on a fresh new twist. “My own personal design style is modern and sophisticated; I like iconic and timeless pieces,” says Cristina, who looks to the work of Frank Lloyd Wright,

Eero Saarinen, Louis Kahn, and the Campana Brothers for inspiration. “On the other hand, my sister, Monica, has a more traditional, classic contemporary style. Our inspirations come from different points of view. Yet the differences between us are our biggest strength—we combine and complement each other, and that makes us a perfect combo.” Despite their differences, both of the Souzas have been multi-time Ornare Tastemaker winners and Artefacto showcase designers. Ever on the hunt for ways to attune their projects to their clients’ lifestyles, Cristina and Monica also often bring unexpected notes of contrast to their designs that make every interior a standout. “We work with furnishings, colors, material, and ideas that can light up a space,” says Cristina. “We often show a combination of vibrant color or distinctive pattern with more casual, rustic fabrics, which, nowadays, is a recurring trend in home design. A room with wide-plank, weathered floors and linen upholstery, for example, might sport lacquered cabinetry and a crystal chandelier.” Up next for the duo? Expanding to new territory, like St. Louis, São Paulo, and New York, where they’re starting new projects and injecting fresh ecofriendly ideas into their inspired ensembles. 2125 Biscayne Blvd., PH 540, Miami, 305-576-7772; avantdesign-group.com OD

LUCITE IS UBIQUITOUS IN THE MAGIC CITY—FROM THE DELANO’S REPLICA OF LENNY KRAVITZ’S LUCITE PIANO TO LIGHT FIXTURES AND TABLES IN THE MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT. BY CHARLYNE VARKONYI SCHAUB Liliana Korn Custy sees Lucite as a contradiction. “You can put a lot of weight on it and make the weight disappear because it is clear,” she says. “You can use Lucite in railings instead of glass, as partitions, and as elegant pieces of furniture. You can use it in a small space because it is light and doesn’t take up a lot of room visually.” Custy, a licensed interior designer and general contractor, is cochair of the Luxury Council of the Builders Association of South Florida and an adjunct professor at Florida International University’s Department of Interior Architecture. She is currently working on preconstruction projects in her native Argentina and has designed a penthouse in Sunny Isles; her most famous client is former tennis star Gabriela Sabatini. Custy designed a Lucite dome for Sabatini’s 15,000-square-foot penthouse in Buenos Aires because it was the only material that was clear and flexible, but she advises against exterior use. “It was not as transparent after five years due to the elements,” she says.

EminEnt Domain the Big Deal

Drew Rosenhaus in his office in Miami. “The University of Miami has probably produced as many NFL players as any other program,” the prominent agent says.

Show Him the Money

With the NFL preseason kicking off in August, it’s part of a third decade in the business for a guy dubbed “The Most Hated Man in Pro Football” on the cover of the July 15, 1996, Sports Illustrated. Of course, with over $5 billion worth of contracts negotiated for several hundred superstars, Miami-based mega-agent Drew Rosenhaus could very well be the “most loved man in football” if you ask the players. Ocean Drive sat down with the man who inspired the movie Jerry Maguire to talk sports, Miami, and life in the spotlight. How did you get your start in this business? I grew up a big football fan in Miami, and when I got to the University of Miami [in the mid- to late-’80s], I became pals with a lot of the guys on the team. One day, [wide receiver] Michael Irvin said to me, “Hey, you would be a great agent.” So I got an internship with his agent—Mel Levine in Fort Lauderdale. I knew right there and then that this was the perfect job for me. Most agents would be located in New York or LA, but you’re a hometown boy in Miami. I love this area. I’ll never move. Thank God my wife is from Miami, so she

never wants to leave. [The couple are expecting a baby girl in the fall, their first.] And I get to work with my brother and his family. Plus, the University of Miami has probably produced as many NFL players as any other program. You’ve been videoed handling a live python in the wild, wrestling a six-foot shark in the ocean, and documented saving a child’s life via CPR. How does your personality match your job requirements? To be a successful agent, you’re really an alpha male. It’s a very macho, masculine profession. When you are around the toughest guys, the badasses of the world—absolute warriors—you have to relate to them. But at the same time, you have to be able to intellectually negotiate with the teams and owners. You have to do the research, you have to know the numbers, you have to know the roster, you have to know the personality of the people you are negotiating with. It’s a science. Miami has become an incredible sports town, with big-name players on the Heat, Dolphins, and Marlins. cOntInueD On page 238

EminEnt Domain the Big Deal “MiaMi is the nuMberone destination for professional athletes; it’s such a beautiful place to live.”

“The NFL is a remarkable profession,” says the man who inspired the movie Jerry Maguire, here at the football field in Miami Beach’s Flamingo Park.

LeBron James made a statement that will forever be a part of Miami’s history when he said, “I’m bringing my talents to South Beach.” The most famous professional athlete in the United States basically said, “I want to play in South Beach.” The Miami Dolphins executive vice president, Mike Tannenbaum, started out his press conference a few months ago by saying, “Welcome to the tax-free state of Florida.” Miami is the number-one destination for professional athletes; it’s such a beautiful place to live. You get attacked a lot in the media and online. What do you think of all the haters? I care, and it does bother me when people write things that aren’t true. I think it comes from angry competitors and/or people who are trying to better themselves or make a name for themselves by attacking a well-known figure. I accept that my job has some positives and negatives. With a baby on the way, and the beautiful sunshine and the bay view you have, will you slow down? You’re either going up or you’re down. I don’t want to go down. I’m not ready to retire any time soon. I like the idea of being the NFL’s most prominent agent. The NFL is a remarkable profession; it was my love as a boy. I knew that if I wasn’t going to be an NFL player, then this is better because I’ve been able to have a 30-year career in the NFL. They’re going to have to throw me out of this business. I want to go from this job straight to my coffin. rosenhaussports.com OD

Judy Stein

A FEW OF HER FAVORITE THINGS

Born in New York and raised in Miami Beach, Judy Stein graduated from Miami Beach Senior High before heading to the University of Florida. Her very first paying job in her field was as a copywriter for Jordan Marsh Department Stores. She’s been the Executive Director of the Swimwear Association of Florida for over 18 years and says, “I’ve grown up with the job and the organization has grown with me”!

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

My husband Michael and my twin daughters, Francesca and Marti, who are heading off to college in a few weeks. They are the loves of my life! Fruits and Veggies. I’m vegan all the way. Running, spinning and the gym. Bubble Gum. Keeping it fresh and fun. My Celine, Phantom bag. I love big bags! A nude lip for understated beauty. The color white. Cool and classic. The Real Housewives TV Show — shout out to Bravo. Country music, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Journey, and James Taylor. And, of course, the beach, swimwear, swimwear, and more swimwear — accessories too!

Alessandra Ambrosio OF ÁLE BY ALESSANDRA

Alessandra Ambrosio is a globally recognized supermodel with over 15 years of experience in the fashion industry. She has appeared on countless magazine covers, editorial pages, and fashion campaigns. Ocean Drive sat down to talk with Ale about her Brazilian heritage, unique personal style, and ále by Alessandra, her namesake swimwear collection. With such a busy career as a model, what made you decide to jump into the design business? I have loved designing ever since I was small — making clothing for my dolls, for example — and I’ve always spent a lot of time searching for personal pieces that were special as well as versatile. So when the opportunity to design my own line came along it felt like the natural next step.

designed for the new collection, called Bahia, that embodies the things I saw and the moods I felt when I was there.

There are many other hot-weather countries with beautiful beaches, so why is Brazil the international leader in designer swimwear? In Brazil we spend a lot of time on the beach in our swimwear, so we know what looks, feels, and fits best.

What is your personal style and how does it inform your creative direction for ále by Alessandra? I lean towards bohemian chic. I love flowing dresses and layering pieces with unique fabrications and details. I use pure silk with jewelry inspired trims, feathers, embroidery, and lots of prints, which suits my Brazil-bohemia meets Malibu-chic style perfectly. My personal mantra is “Forever On Vacation,” and I think that ále by Alessandra really reflects that.

How do you get inspired to develop new collections each season? People and places inspire me. I travel a fair amount for work, so there is never a shortage of ideas. There’s a group I

Which is your favorite in the 2016 collection? Wow, that’s a hard one. If I had to choose, it would probably be the suede-crochet group. The suede feels amazing on the body and it’s got a lot of great details. But, of course, I love them all!

PARTING SHOT

Selfie-AbSorbed

Don’t look now, but the most beautiful sunrise is happening on miami beach. seriously, Don’t look now; keep your eyes on your phone. by betsy f. perry dreaded sticks, poking up like periscopes from a submarine, are now banned at some of Miami’s biggest attractions, including the Marlins’ stadium and Art Basel. Imagine the distress should one pierce a 1962 Andy Warhol canvas worth $4.5 million. Of course, don’t forget to circle January 20, 2016, for Museum Selfie Day! According to Nancy Novogrod, Travel + Leisure’s legendary former editor-in-chief and now founder of NNNext, which advises clients on design and luxury lifestyle trends, “Selfie snapping has little to do with authentic experiences, but how could it when you are viewing the world through the screen of your mobile device?” On one trip, a fellow traveller without a camera told Novogrod, “Pictures get in the way of the experience.” Unfortunately, according to an esteemed shrink (mine), “There is huge peer pressure

to post to an audience that’s elsewhere as you search for approval and being ‘liked,’” adding, “Sadly, in this quest to show you’re somebody, you’re not even present to enjoy what you’re seeing.” There’s obviously something about Miami’s whoosh of heat and pulsating music that nudges our uptight selves to loosen up. From overflowing bosoms on the beach to glow sticks at Ultra and dancing to our inner samba down Lincoln Road, selfies posted to an audience in cyberspace communicate we’re in the Capital of Cool, and quite possibly the luckiest people online: We’re in Miami. But don’t forget the original Narcissus of Greek mythology fame, who became so enamored of his own reflection it ultimately destroyed him. It’s the memories you take home from Miami that will keep you warm next winter, not the selfies. OD

Can it be that Miami’s picture postcard setting of preternaturally blue sky and far-as-the-eye-can-see ocean now serves as merely a backdrop against which to showcase every exploit? Are we now so self-consumed—snapping away as the stars of our own show—that we’ve actually forgotten to enjoy this dazzling city? In the “All About that Bass” and boom boom culture that is Miami, it seems our inner Narcissus is in full bloom as we relish the endorphin rush of being “liked,” posting Instagram shots ad nauseam of everything we “experience.” Why jump in the ocean when you can take a selfie in front of it? Why buy the art at Art Basel when you can just show everyone you saw it! The dessert tray at Zuma? #yum! #nomnom. Courtside at the Heat while Dwyane dunks one? #HeatNation! You missed the shot in real time, but does it matter as long as you can prove you were there? Selfie sticks have become as important as SPF, though at least those
