How did you become interested in photography? I became a photographer 18 years ago after my daughter, Sophie, was born. Before that I worked as a stylist and wanted a more creative outlet. Where in the world would you love to do your next fashion shoot? I’d love to shoot in Greece—there’s great light, great food, and I love the Mediterranean.

What’s one of the “Perfect 10” items you wish could find its way into your closet? I love all the dark flora and fauna references from the folklore narrative at Dolce & Gabbana and Mary Katrantzou. What’s one fashion piece that you own that’s particularly special to you? My mother’s friend passed on to me an amazing gold leather coat that would now fit right into the Saint Laurent show.

Is there something you must carry with you every time you take a trip? I’ve fully sworn on to the ultralight movement and keep exchanging my travel bags for newer ones that weigh less as soon as they come out. What are you looking forward to this fall? Recently I’ve started visiting Hawaii once a year. On my last visit, 17 manta rays swooped above my head on a single scuba dive.

What sparked your love of fashion? Definitely early Madonna—the stacked black rubber bracelets, lace corsets and crinolines, that whole Desperately Seeking Susan look. What’s one fashion piece in your collection that’s particularly meaningful to you? I have a little black patent Lady Dior bag from my time at Dior that is pretty special—a true classic.

How did you become interested in photography? I come from a long family lineage of artists. I discovered my visual talent at a young age, so the camera quickly became my medium or tool. Where would you love to do your next fashion shoot? I’ve always been obsessed with 1920s fashion and the Depression era. I would love to do a fashion story in the Great Gatsby mansion.

fashion The latest It bag from Ferragamo is classic Italian chic—precious materials mixed with shimmering gold. By Julie Earle Levine | Photography by Brian Klutch

himmering gold accents have recently popped up on a number of runways and red carpets—the Golden Globes (on Michelle Dockery’s elegant Alexandre Vauthier gown) and Ralph Lauren’s Resort 2015 show being just two notable examples. For fall, sleek, polished gold hardware is the epitome of sophistication, particularly on Salvatore Ferragamo’s standout Fiamma bag, whose rich chocolate-brown colorway is exclusive to The Mall at Short Hills. “The silhouette is one facet of the handbag that combines modern evolutions of Ferragamo signatures, from combinations of exotic materials to novelty hardware,” says Ferragamo’s creative director, Massimiliano Giornetti. Designed in five sizes, featuring mixed materials, and available in a variety of hues, such as plum, rosewood, black, and the aforementioned chocolate, the Fiamma

collection is adorned with the gleaming gold hardware that Ferragamo is carrying through all of its accessories this season. Iconic silk print linings from the 1970s showcase the company’s rich heritage. “Playful elements in the design result in a feminine quality that reflects the Ferragamo woman,” says Giornetti. Fiamma di San Giuliano Ferragamo, the late daughter of designer Salvatore Ferragamo and the innovator behind the first Ferragamo handbag collection, helped develop one of fashion’s most famous shoe labels, starting when she was just 19 years old. The Fiamma bag is a testament to her four decades of devotion to elegant accessories. Look for the Fiamma on the arm of stylish fans of the brand, including Jennifer Lawrence, Angelina Jolie, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Salvatore Ferragamo, 973-376-6250 n

It’s a Mod, Mod World

Capture the Mad Men spirit with fall’s collection of black-and-white styles inspired by the Swingin’ ’60s. By Julie Earle Levine

ucci’s sleek, mod silhouette for fall would make Megan Draper—Mad Men’s sexy leading lady with the killer wardrobe—very, very happy. “I felt the need to materialize the essence of Gucci,” says the Italian house’s creative director, Frida Giannini. “A longing for precision, clean lines with precious materials, and a new color palette—this is glamour at its purest.” Giannini’s Fall/ Winter 2014 collection for Gucci is swingin’ London, taking the company back to its ’60s heyday, but this is no mere retro vision. Modern twists permeate the collection: A cap-sleeve white silk dress— richly embroidered with 3-D frida giannini triangle glass and small plastic and metal spheres and worn with racy black patent knee-high boots with the iconic horse-bit buckle—is a head turner. And Gucci wasn’t the only high-end house to send a black and white palette down the runway. Exciting patterns in monochrome styles also appeared at Michael Kors, Stuart Weitzman, and Piazza Sempione, and in the accessories collection of Henri Bendel, among others. On the next page, see how you can incorporate this catwalk trend into your own closet and give the look your own eye-catching twist with unexpected elements. Gucci, 973-564-7600 n

FALL 2014

he latest chapter in the ever-evolving Ralph Lauren story will be on display this fall at The Mall at Short Hills’ Polo Ralph Lauren store. The $7.4 billion global megaretailer’s rollout of its firstever Polo for Women line will take fans of the Lauren brand to some unexpected places. “Polo for Women shares the iconic style of Ivy League prep with a downtown edge, bohemian romance, and a cool sportiness,” says Ralph Lauren. “It’s about a woman’s individuality, her unique personal style inspired by a new kind of energy.” The company has high hopes that the Polo for Women line’s wide-ranging style will appeal to buyers of the Collection and Black Label lines as well as to customers of the more youthful Denim and Supply labels. The big idea is to bring together a collection, as with the original Polo brand for men, that speaks to the complete history of Ralph Lauren womenswear. “A lot of people might think that they’ve seen Polo for close to 50 years, but it’s hard to believe that there’s never been a Polo for women,” says David Lauren, the house’s executive vice president of global advertising, marketing, and corporate communications. “We have used the Polo horse on some women’s products. In fact, the first appearance of the Polo player, the famous logo, was on the cuff of the women’s sleeve, but it has never actually been a brand called Polo for Women, so this is an exciting time for us.” The Mall at Short Hills will be in the first wave of locations to offer the Polo for Women rollout. The company’s description of the inaugural line—“From urbane tweeds and simple black dresses to rugged, outdoorsy looks and city-worn leather, Polo represents easy, energetic style”—makes it sound like a seamless fit for the recently renovated Polo Ralph Lauren store at —RALPH LAUREN

Polo for Women’s Yosemite tote and suede boots.

The Mall at Short Hills. The boutique’s new look is classic Lauren-remade Americana served up in a sleek setting that is part modern, part country traditional. There are even woodsy touches—reclaimed oak flooring mixed with painted millwork, stained oak, and found fixtures, reclaimed wood walls, and metal and wood shelves mingled with traditional oak wall cases. The wide-ranging collection, glimpsed at last February’s Fall 2014 runway show in New York, demonstrates Lauren’s deft hand at blending iconic, all-American imagery with an updated, artistic urban cool. The show introduced a line that encompasses the Polo brand’s evolution over time and that showcases all of Ralph Lauren’s own key influences and inspirations: Americana, Navajo, the West, classic pinstripes, layering, even his love of cars and motorcycles via leather biker jackets. There is a very feminine side to Polo for Women as well, as dresses are a major category in the —DAVID LAUREN mix. There are, for example, a number of variations on the classic little black dress, finished with not meant to be formal—although they can certainly shade that way—but to everything from sheer lace trims to puff sleeves be easy-wearing and versatile. It’s easy to picture a woman wearing one of and contrast collars. True to the sensibility, they are the black dresses under one of the line’s biker jackets. But for all the femininity, there is also a tougher, outdoors-inspired side to the Polo collection, which the company says has a “borrowed from the boys” feel. The line incorporates elements like camouflage knits, serape sweaters, and performance jackets that reference the wilderness theme but carry enough of a style quotient to be perfectly suitable for a night in the city as well. It is another demonstration of Ralph Lauren’s decades-long ability to straddle worlds and create something new and separate—a World According to Ralph—out of the various realms. Given that that world was born with the launch of his first moderately priced Polo sportswear collection back in the 1970s, it is tempting to view the sportier elements of the new Polo for Women line as a kind of full-circle return to the beginning. But of course, the fashion world is a different place now, and sportswear means something very different to the women of 2014. Thanks in no small part to Polo itself, sportswear goes places these days—to the office, to upscale restaurants, out on the town after work— that would have been difficult to envision back in the ’70s. The early, straight-ahead preppy sensibility that guided so much of the company’s appeal through the years—and that has arguably been the strongest maker of Lauren’s image—has evolved, too. Like many of the best ideas, Ralph Lauren’s next steps have often seemed to become instantly a part of the culture. As one commentator on the LEFT: Polo for Women includes a number of variations on the little black dress.

“T

he Maje woman is a seductress who likes to go out and stand out from the crowd,” says Judith Milgrom, the brand’s founder and designer. The same, too, can be said of Maje (pronounced MAH-juh), which opened its first US monochrome concept store at The Mall at Short Hills this past spring. The design, an evolution of that of Maje’s Parisian boutiques, includes a soft, neutral palette and rich details. “The store concept showcases a clean and elevated design to highlight the design of the clothing,” says Milgrom about the new boutique, which is just the second location for the brand in New Jersey. Maje’s Fall collection is a unique blend of elegant and edgy, with illusion waist dresses similar to those seen on red-carpet standouts Keira Knightley, Blake Lively, and Rihanna. Trousers come in traditional plaids, but paired with chunky sweaters in rich seasonal shades like garnet or with cropped nautical stripes, the look gets a decidedly modern twist. “I design for all types of women, who come to Maje because the collections offer a range that goes from basic jeans, pants, and T-shirts to intricate and structured jackets and dresses,” says Milgrom. It was a quest for unconventionality that inspired Milgrom to launch Maje in 1998. “After working alongside my sister for a few years, I really felt the need to create my own collections, because even though we have the same taste for beautiful clothes, our ideas were quite different,” says the designer, whose sister, Evelyne Chetrite, helms the fashion label Sandro. “Maje collections are now based on a few iconic classics—leather leggings, parka coats, dresses, leopard print—but they evolve each season according to my own tastes and trends.” This season, leopard is still featured; however, it’s available in flattering longer lengths and more muted colorways of white, black, and gray. “The major evolution since the beginning is visible in the accessory range, which has become much wider,” says Milgrom. The line’s array of shoes, jewelry, accessories, and handbags is also on display at Short Hills. Standouts include sweet clutches given a nontraditional edge with unconventional fabrics and stitching, like the polka-dot Keil or copper quilted Gueta—eye-catching accompaniments to the brand’s selection of LBDs that are quite perfect for the woman who indeed wants to stand out from the crowd.

ong gone are the days when a man’s wardrobe was confined to one style of suit. On runways this fall, top designers revealed a myriad of suiting options that can be fully embraced or mixed with existing pieces, giving men new and more choices for dressing. Start with the basics: yes, a crisp white shirt and impeccably tailored pants provide the perfect foundation. Now take it from there by playing with proportions: new slimmer-cut pants with a rough, tough robust shoe; a streamlined silhouette topped off with a slouchy tweed coat; a lapel that starts off bold and broad and tapers to the slim, precise point of an expensive fountain pen. Add the humor of a rolled cuff pant, a loose tie, or over-size shades, and what do you have? Tailoring that’s been taken up a notch in form, function, and fun, right down to the very last detail. n

will never change, but with the mentality to respect nature, to respect the environment [in] how we produce and manufacture. We try to discover what nature can give us without trying to pollute. This is very important—to make less damage to this world.” Loro Piana’s strategy makes sense. In a June 2014 Nielsen study, 55 percent of global online consumers said they would be willing to pay more for products and services provided by companies that are committed to reducing their social and environmental impact. Nielsen also reviewed retail data for 20 brands in nine countries and found that sales increased an average of five percent for companies that promoted their sustainable practices. Preceding its latest revelation in flower power was Loro Piana’s establishment of a nature preserve in Peru. Many of the brand’s most coveted pieces come from the vicuña, which has been rescued from extinction. Producing what’s considered the rarest and finest animal fiber in the world, the vicuña— called the “Queen of the Andes”—was hunted to near extinction for its valuable coat. By the 1960s, only 5,000 vicuña remained, making it an endangered species. Loro Piana began championing the species in the 1980s, working with local governments to safeguard it, and by 2008 the company established the Dr. Franco Loro Piana Reserva, Peru’s first private nature preserve. Today there are approximately 180,000 vicuña in Peru, and the number on the preserve has doubled since its inception, according to the company. Ermenegildo Zegna has also made a commitment to preserving nature with the establishment of the Oasi Zegna, whose entrance is in Trivero, Zegna’s

Zegna himself reforested much of the area’s mountainside in 1930 before his family adopted the cause in 1993 and established the yearround public oasis, the “first example of environmental patronage and open-air laboratory,” according to the company. Another major philanthropic project garnering global attention is Ferragamo’s funding of an upgrade to the third corridor of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The 100-year-old Italian brand is a long-standing patron of the arts. Within a year, as a result of Ferragamo’s approximately $800,000 donation, the Uffizi will be able to reopen rooms and display some 50 works of 15th-century Florentine art—including pieces by Cosimo Rosselli, Filippo Lippi, and Piero di Cosimo—a third of which are currently in the museum’s reserve collection. “This significant gesture from a celebrated Florentine fashion label comes as a great source of comfort,” says Antonio Natali, director of the Uffizi Gallery. “The city is the true beneficiary of the generosity of one of its own children, renowned around the world for the aesthetic virtues that Florence continues to pass down.” Over the years, the brand has sponsored several other restoration projects in city squares and on the Santa Trinita Bridge as well as a number of cultural Tory Burch’s ventures. “Partnering with cultural Rollerball fragrance institutions and sponsoring initiatives that helps support her foundation, promote art in all its forms is written into which aids female entrepreneurs. our brand’s DNA,” says Ferruccio BELOW: More art will Ferragamo, president of the Salvatore be displayed at the Uffizi Gallery Ferragamo Group. “We are thrilled to after a donation from Ferragamo. restore these spaces to their former glory.” Gucci, another luxury brand with Italian roots, recently celebrated the first anniversary of its revolutionary Chime for Change program—a global campaign for the empowerment of girls and women—which since its inception has raised more than $4.75 million for projects such as Kenya’s Shining Hope for Communities and New York’s Sisters in Strength, as well as the Coalition to Abolish Slavery & Trafficking. Chime for Change is one of Gucci’s most successful “give back” programs to date, but the company’s work has only just begun, according to program cofounder and Gucci creative director Frida Giannini. “We believe in the power of technology and partnerships to drive change, as we are all stronger together,” Giannini says. “With the launch of this program, we are calling on our community to lend their voices. Together, we can call for change in the loudest voice possible.” ■

Leading Lady

fall 2014

or the first time in history, a woman sits at the helm of Tiffany & Co.’s design strategy. Appointed last fall, Francesca Amfitheatrof succeeds John Loring, who served as the house’s creative force for more than 30 years (and will now hold the title of design director emeritus). A trained silversmith and an internationally sought-after art consultant, Amfitheatrof brings a strong feminine edge to the mix, with an invaluable understanding of the women who’ll wear her designs. With a remarkable ability to elevate a seemingly simple graphic element to the height of beauty and sophistication, Amfitheatrof based her inaugural collection on a single motif: the letter T. The significance is obvious, of course, but beyond that, “T has a verticality and angularity that I associate with the energy and intensity of New York,” says Amfitheatrof, who previously designed jewelry collections for Chanel, Fendi, and Marni. “It felt like a natural jumping-off point for my work here.” Like the return to tiffany heart or the Elsa Peretti bean, the “T” seems

destined to become the New York–based jeweler’s next style icon. The range consists of 63 debuts, including rings, earrings, necklaces, and a number of bangles and cuffs, all offered in 18k yellow or rose gold as well as sterling silver. A few pieces, inspired by sketches from the 1920s that were found in the Tiffany & Co. archives, don’t directly incorporate the “T” but play to the collection’s urban sportif mood with lively diamonds in crisp, geometric shapes. “The pieces are sculptural, bold, and very closely linked to the architecture of [New York] as well as its relentless movement, optimism, and creativity,” says Amfitheatrof. While Loring’s legacy includes launching the enduringly popular Atlas collection, initiating Tiffany & Co.’s collaboration with Paloma Picasso, and art-directing the restored aluminum-cast pyramid that sits on top of the Washington Monument, Amfitheatrof’s debut collection proves she is more than capable of continuing Tiffany & Co.’s 177-year tradition of game-changing innovations.

£1.5 million (roughly $2.1 million) to the twoyear refurbishment of the landmark, which is set to begin in 2015. The final element in Bulgari’s marking of its milestone is the renovation of its flagship store on Rome’s renowned Via Condotti. Conceived by New York City –based architect Peter Marino, who has created celebrated stores for high-fashion houses such as Dior and Chanel, the redesign (which includes a new dedicated watch room) was unveiled in March and will serve as inspiration for all future Bulgari boutiques and renovations. Marino even paid close attention to the salottino Taylor, the small secret room with sliding doors where Elizabeth Taylor often spent time while in Rome working on the movie epic Cleopatra. The salon was accessible through a secret portal from a private courtyard, and while the door had been closed for decades, Marino brought it back into service, ready for today’s VIPs. A legendary yet visionary house of haute joaillerie, Bulgari is one of the world’s largest buyers of top-quality colored gemstones. At any given time, as they develop designs both for unique statement pieces and the house’s standard collections, its Rome workshops contain thousands of stones valued at tens of millions of dollars. In a single well-lit room, its walls lined with sketches and colorful ideas for necklaces, brooches, bracelets, earrings, and rings, is a table brimming—end to end—with rubies, emeralds, sapphires, amethysts, and citrines. “Bulgari is known for its use of big stones and for combining

colors,” says Lucia Silvestri, a gemstone purveyor and designer for the brand. “When most houses were creating single-color gemstone necklaces and brooches, we were mixing gems and colors for artful presentations that left people breathless. It is very important for us to bring together rare stones with semiprecious stones of all colors for dramatic appeal—it is our signature.” Indeed, over the years, Bulgari has established an inimitable style that’s timeless. Its original intricate Byzantine designs paved the way for the lavish, elegant Art Deco styles of the 1920s, when diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires stole the show. The 1940s ushered in the era of stunning f loral motifs, with large center stones requiring dramatic and daring forethought. In the following decades, Bulgari developed innovations in gemstone setting and carving, metalworking, and engraving that brought the brand’s exquisite creations to new heights. Some of its most iconic designs were born in the latter half of the 20th century: Parentesi (using straight and curved interlocking elements), Bulgari Bulgari (incorporating the brand name into the design), Tubogas (malleable gold coil designs), and Serpenti (the beloved serpent collection). As it built its legacy, Bulgari garnered a loyal global following of socialites and celebrities, politicians and aristocrats. For instance, Clare Boothe Luce, the glamorous American ambassador to Italy in the 1950s, was particularly fond of the brand, as were Sophia Loren, Jayne Mansfield, and Audrey Hepburn. Men, too, have been

captivated by the beauty of Bulgari’s creations. Stars such as Richard Burton, Eddie Fisher, and Kirk Douglas frequented the store in search of the perfect gifts for their beloveds. American artist Andy Warhol, ever obsessed with color and design, never missed a chance to visit the store when he was in Rome, calling Bulgari “the best exhibition of contemporary art.” Bulgari, 973-376-7800 n The Bulgari Bulgari Catene watch is embellished with 887 diamonds, totaling 27.97 carats.

The sweet floral gets a seasonal makeover, with unexpected pairings like fig, cedar, and sandalwood, for a more noirish scent. By Kari Molvar | Photography by Chris Stein

hen it comes to daring fragrance notes, rose doesn’t normally top the list. After all, this cherished floral scent can seem somewhat grandmotherly, often applied in the verdant, refreshing months of spring. But an explosion of raw and decidedly bold rose aromas is about to change all that. Designed to reveal the darker side of the bud, the latest cool-weatherappropriate blends pair the perennial with rich, earthy ingredients rather than the traditional sweet, powdery ones. Balenciaga’s hugely popular Rosabotanica ignited the trend by coupling green rose with milky fig leaves and sensual white woods, resulting in a “beautiful” but “dangerous” take on the fragrance, according to the fashion house. The new Donna Karan Liquid Cashmere

nestles silken rose petals over a rustic base of patchouli, creamy sandalwood, and exotic musk. L’Occitane Roses et Reines marries roses from four regions— Bulgaria, Turkey, Morocco, and the town of Grasse in France—with the strength of cedar. Further playing up the bloom’s untamed nature is Estée Lauder’s Modern Muse Chic, which balances vivid tuberose with deep woods to form a “dual impression” fragrance that’s both airy and grounded. Meanwhile, those looking for a true hybrid should consider Christian Dior’s new Les Élixirs Précieux in Rose, a pure, concentrated dose of the floral that’s meant to be layered under another fragrance, such as the house’s incense- and musk-spiked Bois d’Argent perfume, to create your own bespoke eau. n

The Art of Shaving’s arrival at The Mall at Short Hills coincides perfectly with the trend for more and better grooming for men. By Matt Stewart

“W

inning is like shaving—you do it every day or you wind up looking like a bum,” once quipped the late Jack Kemp, a former vice presidential nominee and congressman. With approximately 75 percent of men worldwide shaving every day, it appears more and more men are opting to be proverbial winners. In the US alone, the men’s shaving market has seen steady growth over the last three years, with general retail sales of more than $3.6 billion. “Currently there is a huge opportunity within the men’s grooming industry,” says Todd Brisky, The Art of Shaving’s managing director. “The key is to stay involved and engaged with growing trends.” Lately the trend has been to put more emphasis on products and services for men. Once guys were ducking into salons and spas for manicures and pedicures alongside the ladies, but more and more men-only spas have opened in major metropolitan cities over the last few years. Products directed at men account for 8.6 percent of the total beauty and personal care market in the US. The Art of Shaving, which opened at The Mall at Short Hills this past spring, captures the best of both worlds. It has an old-timey barbershop ambience mixed with that of a well-appointed, wing-chaired men’s club, and its woodpaneled walls display an elite collection of equipment, including a Silvertip badger-hair shaving brush and products for before, during, and after shaving. The company began life nearly 20 years ago as a single store on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Eric Malka and Myriam Zaoui. Zaoui was an aesthetician at a day spa who developed a pre-shave oil from botanicals and essential oils to help Malka protect his sensitive skin while still enjoying a close, smooth

“ Winning is like shaving—you do it every day or you wind up looking like a bum.”—jack kemp shave. This original product remains the foundation on which all of The Art of Shaving’s offerings are built. From these simple beginnings, the collection—which comprises “the four elements of the perfect shave”—has grown to include tubs of rich shaving cream and shaving soaps and a full line of aftershave balms, gels, and lotions. Further extending the brand’s offerings is its selection of straight, safety, and electric razors, including the recently released Lexington Collection, which offers razors with Flexball technology—a pivoting head that contours to an individual’s face and provides a 22 percent closer shave. “The new Flexball pivoting movement allows for better blade contact with the skin throughout the entire shave, leaving you with a cleaner, closer shave,” advises The Art of Shaving master barber Steve Gonzalez. “You want to avoid placing your fingertip on the head of the razor; this will inhibit the natural movement of the pivot and potentially place too much pressure on the skin, causing irritation.” The Art of Shaving, 862-206-7000 n

ermès debuted its signature scarves, or carrés, in 1937, the year of its centennial. Since then, the house has amassed more than 2,000 designs, conceived by freelance artists from around the world. The scarves, stitched by hand by a group of skilled seamstresses at the company’s workshop outside Lyon, are printed using screens whose engravings take some 750 hours to complete and that use, on average, 27 colors. “While the choice of colors is capital in the creation of an Hermès carré,” says Pierre-Alexis Dumas, artistic director of the Hermès Group, “it is only in relation to other colors—those of the complexion, the hair, and the clothes of the person who will wear the scarf.” Hermès, 973-376-6843

llen Edmonds shoes have been handcrafted in America since 1922, and over the past nine decades they’ve been a top choice for men of power and prestige—with presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush all wearing the brand’s Park Avenue cap-toe oxfords to their inaugurations. Today, Allen Edmonds offers a custom shoe program, providing men with the opportunity to

create their own individualized pairs, in styles ranging from business to casual to sport. The customization options include size and width, leather type, and the combination of colors used in the stitching, welt, and sole. Spikes can be added to some models to create a one-of-a-kind golfing shoe, or a customer can even incorporate the logo of his favorite Major League Baseball team. Allen Edmonds, 973-379-5007

homas Pink has a reputation for outfitting sophisticated swells in the best of British tailoring. Now the company has built on that tradition with a new collection of artisanal neckties cut from sumptuous silks that are woven and dyed in England before being hand-folded into shape. Afterward, highly skilled seamstresses working near London Bridge hand-stitch the ties using a single thread. Every necktie is finished with a trompe l’oeil needle embroidered on the back. “We wanted to celebrate handmade in London,” says Frederik Willems, Thomas Pink’s head of design. “Craft is something we feel strongly about.” Thomas Pink, 973-258-1370

esigner Alain Mikli has been handcrafting eyewear in his Paris workshop since 1978. Each year, Mikli and his expert team conceive more than 300 frame maquettes (small scale models), of which only a few are selected for production. The frames that make the grade are crafted from the finest materials and fashioned to be lightweight and supremely comfortable, with an

adjustable nose bridge and a design that doesn’t stimulate pressure points. “Internationally recognized for unparalleled luxury retailers [and] a sophisticated clientele, The Mall at Short Hills is the perfect location to showcase my brand and personal works of art,” says Mikli. His boutique in Short Hills is one of just five US locations and his only stand-alone shop in New Jersey. Alain Mikli, 973-564-8100

or more than a century, Prada has been the pinnacle of Italian luxury. This summer’s launch of the house’s custom shoe program elevates its already elite stature by allowing connoisseurs to personalize shoes in one of nine styles, ranging from pointy to peep-toe, from single-sole to platform. Choose from among three single-sole or five platform heel heights and

five different materials: satin, leather, patent leather, suede, or Saffiano (Prada’s signature stamped leather). Next, customize your color, with the sole available in three hues—each of which can be monogrammed in gold—and the box in six shades. For the shoe itself, however, Prada offers almost every color imaginable. Prada, 973-921-4780 n

WEEKEND GETAWAY The Little Nell, Aspen: As the catchphrase “Come for the winter and

stay for the summer” suggests, the ski slopes aren’t Aspen’s only playground. In addition to hiking, biking, hot-air ballooning, and food and wine festivals, the city is a very, very good place to get on a horse. Its famous hotel The Little Nell has pushed this to the hilt with Cowboy 101 overnight horseback trips through White River National Forest to the Maroon Bells, a pair of 14,000-foot peaks in the Elk Mountains. You’ll pass Maroon and Crater Lakes before setting camp along West Maroon Creek. A camp chef and a fishing guide will accompany you on the journey—along with pack mules to carry the wines hand-selected by The Little Nell’s master sommelier from the hotel’s 20,000-bottle cellar. The adventure includes trout fishing in the creek, with the day’s catch pan-fried over an open flame and served up with Wagyu ribeye beef from Aspen’s Emma Farms and an array of cheeses from the Avalanche Cheese Company in nearby Basalt (plus some strawberry shortcake, as every rugged cowboy deserves). The morning brings more fishing and a huevos rancheros breakfast, before you mosey back to The Little Nell for a hot shower and perhaps a massage. Shorter trips are also available for beginner riders. Mid-May to early October; thelittlenell.com

death. Crying inconsolably, the princess chased her beloved into the forest. Wherever one of her tears fell sprouted a bright magenta orchid (known locally as Waq’anki). Today the Waq’anki is the symbolic flower of Machu Picchu, but it’s just one of the 372 orchid species on the grounds of Peru’s Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, which sits at 8,038 feet above sea level in the village of Aguas Calientes (now known as Machu Picchu Pueblo), a 20-minute drive down from the lost citadel of Machu Picchu. The hotel’s grounds were formerly a tea and coffee plantation, until the Inkaterra Association, a nongovernmental organization dedicated to preserving the culture and biodiversity of the region, purchased the land in 1991. At the hotel, the association reintroduced yanay argos trees, which produce the

favorite fruit of Peru’s national bird, the coral-red, orchid-like Andean cockof-the-rock. The heliconia and orchid gardens surrounding the cottages are manicured versions of the forest that leads up to the surrounding peaks. The gardeners here are trained not just to care for the known species but also to discover new ones, and since most of the species living in the cloud forests are believed to be undiscovered, there is plenty of room for exploration. In 2000, some of the hotel’s gardeners discovered a new variety of orchid with flowers resembling candy canes. inkaterra.com Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort, United Arab Emirates: Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort

is both a mouthful and an eyeful. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, founder and late ruler of the United Arab Emirates, introduced millions of trees and thousands of animals—including ostriches, giraffes, gazelles, cheetahs, and a herd of 400 Arabian oryx—to the 34-square-mile island, 150 miles from Abu Dhabi and a tantalizing five from shore. The resort’s 30 luxury villas are set among mangrove forests and saltwater lagoons studded with white and pink flamingoes. Many of the villas have private plunge pools, and a few are quite sprawling. You’re more likely, however, to be captivated by the sea (that’s what al yamm means). Go for a swim in the Arabian Gulf, or arrange a fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, or scuba diving excursion through the water sports center. Yet what really sets Al Yamm apart is that you can also go on a safari, then tour the island’s archeological excavation of a sixth-century monastery, shoot a quiver of arrows on the archery range, play some tennis, or ride a horse across the dunes. A kids’ club, teen club, swimming pool, library, gym, and half a dozen dining options will enhance your stay—but be sure to leave time for a Sands of Time massage at the Anantara Spa. This signature treatment combines hot sand compresses, a floral foot ritual, and sports massage. al-yamm.anantara.com

vertebrate, evolving some 500 million years ago. It’s fitting, then, that the newest and most luxurious resort in the Galapagos—the 14-suite Pikaia Lodge, opening this October—is also the most eco-friendly in the famous archipelago, not just because it’s carbon-neutral and built with Ecuadorian stone, teak, and bamboo, plus recyclable steel and glass (with sweeping views of the islands and the Pacific throughout), but because its developers rehabilitated a former cattle ranch by planting it with more than 12,000 endemic trees. Perched on a small plateau atop two craters of extinct volcanoes on Santa Cruz Island, the lodge even sits within its own secluded giant tortoise reserve. You’ll tour the neighboring national park sites and beaches on Pikaia’s private 100-foot yacht, seeing marine iguanas and blue-footed boobies and maybe snorkeling or kayaking. Scuba divers can combine a four-night stay with six more on a custom-designed live-aboard yacht, cruising to the northernmost islands of Wolf and Darwin for even more oceangoing experiences, with hammerhead and Galapagos sharks, whale sharks, sea lions, penguins, and shoals of fish so thick they could be living walls. pikaialodgegalapagos.com

Orcaella, Myanmar: If you’re drawn to the water but would rather experience it from a 200-foot riverboat in Southeast Asia, consider the Orcaella, named after Myanmar’s native dolphins. Belmond, the travel company that changed its name from Orient-Express earlier this year, has been sailing the Ayeyarwady River for 18 years. Its 25-cabin Orcaella (17 of those cabins are suites, and there’s also a swimming pool, gym, and spa, of course) transforms the exotic voyage into an intimate affair for a maximum of 50 guests. Itineraries are available on the Chindwin and Ayeyarwady Rivers, traveling between Yangon and Bagan or between Bagan and Mandalay, through

hidden jungles and bustling markets, with stops at the area’s gilded pagodas, temples, and monasteries. In the evenings, visiting musicians perform, as well as acrobats and dance troupes. The land tours are by bicycle or horsedrawn carriage. voyagesinmyanmar.com MONTHLONG PASSPORT Mumbo Island, Africa: Mumbo Island sounds too impossible to

exist: a pristine tropical island—offering six furnished bungalows and tents, with hammocks, thatched-reed decks, and hot-bucket showers—in a 2,300-foot-deep lake that’s home to 1,000 species of fish. The island is located in Lake Malawi National Park, a Unesco World Heritage site since 1984 and the first freshwater marine reserve in the world, its cerulean waters home to more than 400 types of brilliantly colored cichlids (including damselfish, angelfish, and wrasses)—which are so perfectly adapted to their environment, they’re comparable to Galapagos finches in the study of evolution. Within the lake—Africa’s third-largest and second-deepest, covering one-fifth of the country of Malawi—is the half-mile-wide, 250acre, electricity-free Mumbo Island. Guests are limited to just 14 at a time, and it’s claimed that if all the tents and decks on the island were removed, within a year there wouldn’t be a trace of habitation left. Aside from the few human visitors and staff, the only mammals on Mumbo are the friendly

speckle-throated otters (which sometimes approach swimmers to play), although baboons, vervet monkeys, hyraxes, and hippos are commonly sighted from shore. But what most attracts guests is the water. Snorkeling, diving, and kayaking to the lake’s granitic islands are Mumbo’s main activities, along with bird-watching (it’s a nesting area for thousands of white-throated cormorants), hiking the island’s five nature trails, and many forms of nonspecific lazing. mumboisland.com Maalifushi by COMO, Maldives: Strung across 35,000 square miles of the Indian Ocean, the 1,192 islands of the Maldives have just 116 square miles of land. There’s only one word in English that’s derived from Dhivehi, the native language of the Maldives, and it’s “atoll.” So don’t visit if you want to hike. Don’t come if your thing is bustling cities (it’s illegal here to build higher than the tallest palm). But if you like turquoise lagoons, pearlescent beaches, and coral gardens teeming with 1,900 species of fish, the Maldives may just be your dream destination. You’ll swear the islands look just like a string of jewels during the 50-minute flight by seaplane from the capital, Malé, to Maalifushi by COMO, which opened this summer as one of only two resorts in the 66-island Thaa Atoll. You’ll stay in one of 66 thatched-roof pine bungalows on the 20-acre island, or perhaps in one perched on stilts above the water. Naturally, nearly all of them come with private pools. The activities are decidedly water-based: fishing for wahoo or grouper, surfing, sailing, snorkeling, or scuba diving with the Maldives’ estimated 10,000 manta rays. But don’t overlook the COMO Shambhala spa, with its eight ocean-facing treatment rooms and open-air yoga pavilion. comohotels.com/maalifushi ■

ondon antiques dealer and reproductionist Timothy Oulton and his design team at the Halo Group have conceived some of Restoration Hardware’s most iconic pieces, including the Mayfair steamer trunk chest and the 1950s Copenhagen leather chair. Oulton’s latest standout creation is the Harlow crystal chandelier, whose design was inspired by a German fixture from the 1970s that captured Oulton’s imagination. “I’d love to see this exquisite chandelier used in a home theater,” says Short Hills-based interior designer Amy Yin (amyyininteriors.com). “With its sleek metal mounts and smoky, emerald-cut crystal prisms, this fixture balances strong, masculine lines with a decidedly feminine sparkle. Casting beautiful shadows on the ceiling and walls,

it welcomes viewers into the home theater. Then when it’s showtime, it dims dramatically with a golden glow. Paired with Art Deco architectural elements, sensuous velvet-lined walls, and theater seating in saturated colors like ruby red or merlot wine, we’d use the Harlow as the perfect finishing touch to a bold, sophisticated home theater.” Yin also sees the Harlow—which is available in 19-, 31-, and 43-inch versions—as an elegant addition to a dining room with artfully painted grisaille walls (walls painted in shades of gray). “At night, dim the lights to create a dramatic, intimate setting for dinner conversation,” says Yin. “Bonus: The 16-inch height works in homes new and old with eight- or 10-foot ceilings.” Restoration Hardware, 973-912-7300 n
