Letter from the Editor

I admit it: Vacation equals shopping to me. No matter where my travels take me, I will find something to buy. Whether it’s local handicrafts, street art, or clothing and jewelry, I will convince myself that I can only find it right here, right now. My shopping addiction has created multiple cases of buyer’s remorse, such as the one too many pairs of espadrilles from Spain; a handmade hammock from Colombia that is sitting balled up in a hallway closet; or the multiple Matryoshka dolls from St. Petersburg that are now in storage due to a very curious toddler who puts everything in her mouth. But then on the flip side are the purchases I would buy over and over again and that still put a smile on my face: the wedding bands my husband and I acquired in the Azores, a gorgeous gemstone bracelet from St. Thomas, and bottles of handmade rose hand lotion from Big Sur, California. As my souvenir-magnet-covered fridge can attest, I adore traveling and the little buys made abroad are a big part of my vacation experience. For me, it’s often less about the object and more about the place, the people and the memory that purchase embodies. Our travels, the people we meet and the memories we make are what inspire us—and what inspired this issue. We talk to Philippe Cousteau, Jr., whose global travels and personal encounters motivate his work to protect our environment for future generations. Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat are often on the road, but it’s Wade’s trips during his time off that influence his expressive personal style. We chat with trendsetters and industry insiders who share why they love traveling. And we’ve filled our pages with objects big and small, inspired by exotic animals, sun-filled islands and leisurely time at sea: a perfect opportunity to sample a new wine or browse the great buys onboard or in port. Wherever your cruise takes you and whatever you choose to take back home with you—be it a pair of diamond studs, a bottle of island rum or a simple memento—you will have cherished memories of trips with the ones you love that will remind you how great discovering our world is in the first place. Enjoy!

Ideal travel partner:

Someone who takes you out of your comfort zone and will kick you in the butt and say, “Come on, let’s go do that!”

Favorite vacation purchase:

A very cute white summer dress purchased for my very pretty wife.

They must be willing to eat anything, be amenable to forging an itinerary and then chucking those plans to the wind, and brilliant foreign-language skills. Being incredibly attractive is key, too.

Favorite vacation purchase:

Le Beurre Bordier aux Algues, which is an amazingly rich butter, flecked with seaweed, that could only be purchased in a few select French shops. I was planning on enjoying it back home and smuggled it all the way to my layover in Montreal, where airport security confiscated it for being an oversize “cream.” I’ve held a grudge against the Canadians ever since.

For kitesurfing in New Caledonia, it would be a couple of my long-time friends from Brazil; if I’m on vacation in Brazil, then family is my number-one pick; for a calm retreat in the Caribbean, I’ll go with my girlfriend.

Favorite vacation purchase:

A stylized watercolor painting of a map of the British Virgin Islands bought on a small island directly from the artist.

Ideal travel partner:

I love learning about new places and things, so my travel partner has to share that passion. They also need to be flexible and willing to venture off the beaten path.

Favorite vacation purchase:

A gold serpent bracelet that I purchased in the South of France.

Ideal travel partner:

My parents instilled an early love of travel in me by often making me miss school to fly off to exotic locales (It’s OK, I graduated with honors). So my ideal traveling companions would still be my parents and their adventurous spirit.

Favorite vacation purchase:

Ideal travel partner:

I want to travel with someone who likes outdoor adventure, like zip-lining, kayaking and snorkeling.

Favorite vacation purchase:

A beach blanket I picked up in St. Lucia that is the weight and size of a sarong, so it’s easy to pack. I use it constantly.

I like buying things, often with a culinary bent, that will remind me of a particular trip. On a vacation to Japan, I bought handcrafted plates and bowls that I use when serving homemade Japanese meals.

Star Power

Dwyane waDe

Doing It Wade’s Way For Dwyane Wade, it’s about playing ball, giving back and being a dad—and doing all three with style. By Jacquelynn D. Powers

Whether he’s rocking polka-dot manpris (capris for men) or shooting layups to help lead his team to the NBA Championship, Dwyane Wade turns heads both on and off the court. The longtime Miami Heat star has evolved and matured greatly from his rookie season back in 2003. Back then, he was a raw, gifted player whose half-court prowess was tempered by a shy persona. Now, Wade may get to flash his championship rings (plus an Olympic Gold medal in 2008)—and have the media at his feet—but in his off-court time, he’d rather focus on his charitable endeavors and being a great dad.

Family Man Not many NBA players raise their children alone (he has sole custody of sons Zion and Zaire after a contentious divorce and long custody battle) or pen a New York Times best-selling book about the trials and joys of fatherhood. Writing A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger Than Basketball was a life-changing experience, Wade says. “I found myself sharing experiences I’ve never shared with anyone before,” he recalls. “It was somewhat therapeutic. I’ve heard from a lot of people that the book has changed their lives and has given them a new perspective. I’m really appreciative of the opportunity.” Wade is a family man who advises fellow fathers to “take responsibility and stay involved and active in the lives of their children.” The book inspired a literacy campaign with prominent writer James Patterson: The duo teamed up to encourage kids to read, in keeping with Wade’s longstanding commitment to charity. His Wade’s World Foundation provides support to educational, health and family service programs in underserved communities. “Giving back is very important to me,” Wade says. “I live by the motto, ‘To whom much is given, much is required.’ I’ve overcome a lot in my life, and I’ve been fortunate to give back to my community—both in Chicago and Miami.”

Looking Good Clearly, he is proud of his success as an athlete, philanthropist and father. But there’s one more essential facet to 30

D-Wade: his sartorial sense. The fashionable b-baller was named the NBA’s Best Dressed Player in a poll conducted by Sports Illustrated. He explains that his style icon is James Bond with his signature tailored suits. Wade has also been greatly influenced by global travels, most specifically to Milan, Italy, where he attended Fashion Week. “I was introduced to the trend of a higher hemline on pants,” he says of his visit. “Since then, I have incorporated that into my wardrobe. Every city I visit opens my eyes to the variety of ways clothes can be worn. My style now is more expansive. I try to incorporate a new silhouette, color, pattern or accessory into my wardrobe every season.” He’ll alternate Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and Dolce & Gabanna clothing with one constant accessory—a Hublot watch.

Winding Down During the off-season, jet-setting Wade loves to travel the world, with his iPod blasting. A new favorite destination is the Caribbean island of Anguilla, where chilling out is the No. 1 priority. “While on vacation, I enjoy relaxing and getting some downtime with my family,” he shares. “I usually bring my boys along for vacations, and we make a lot of fun out of it. Sometimes, I sneak a few workouts in.” When the time comes for Wade to retire from professional basketball, expect him to continue his charitable endeavors, as well as branch out into fashion more. (He partnered

with luxury sock line STANCE to create the Wade Collection.) For now, the 6-foot-4-inch guard is still powerful and fierce, a self-described “risk taker” who inspires everyone he meets—whether it’s under the hoop or at a food drive. “Being a basketball player allows me to have fun doing both these roles,” Wade recognizes. “I have to be competitive on the court, you know; that’s just my nature. Then, off the court, I have a platform that allows me to be generous and give back to my community. That’s what it’s all about.”

GivinG Back

As an ambassador for the luxury watchmaker Hublot, Dwyane Wade traveled to Beijing’s Forbidden City for a charitable challenge where every basket scored raised money for the One Foundation—an organization whose platform includes focusing on children’s welfare—on behalf of Hublot and Wade’s World Foundation.

Wanderlust

Pack It Up I like to pack light, so I choose items I feel comfortable wearing all the time, like my caftans, lightweight cotton tops and dresses, and loose cotton or silk pants. A comfy shoe for walking is essential, and I like a dressy sandal for night. I always take a versatile sweater and scarf to layer with in case it’s chilly on the flight. As far as jewelry goes, my wedding band and vintage Indian engagement ring never come off, so they go wherever I go. The Must-Haves Sunscreen, my favorite sunglasses, a bunch of good tote bags in case we find shells, coconuts, stones, or whatever else the kids discover. They love to bring little mementos home. And an absolute must is lots of wipes for the kids.

Caribbean Dreams I am dreaming of fresh, grilled fish from a local beach hut with lime, some rice and beans, and a cold beer. I also love to browse the art and handi handicrafts, shells and all the great jewelry. What’s my favorite thing to purchase on vaca vacation? A return ticket! I love the entire Caribbean experience: the color of the sea, the lush islands, and seeing my kids enjoy the calm waters as if they were in a big bathtub. We’ve been to Puerto Rico, the Cayman Islands, St. Maarten, Turks and Caicos, and the Dominican Republic. I can’t wait to explore the rest. My Secret Weapon The one that keeps the peace: my iPad. The kids are entertained during the flight, so my husband and I have a moment to ourselves.

Top right: Two New York studio; Monica’s vintage Indian engagement ring; in the studio with her caftans. Above: Monica and her kids vacationing in the Caribbean.

Just Relax I am definitely happy to leave behind the hustle of New York City. Swimming in the clear Caribbean waters under the warm sun is the ultimate indulgence.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

When it comes to celebrity style for men—it’s all in the wrist. By Dorothy Cascerceri David beckham landing a deal with breitling as the face of its Transocean chronograph Unitime watch could be considered a dream job for someone with his passion for watches. he is an avid collector of Jacob & co. watches and purchased his first watch from the company’s founder Jacob arabo when the brand launched in the 1990s. beckham was one of the first customers to own the brand’s Global 3 watch, which features five time zones. beckham has also been spotted sporting a Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea watch and a custom chopard GT that his wife, Victoria beckham, reportedly gave him as a gift.

when celebrity chef eric Ripert walked into New york city’s famed le bernardin restaurant his first day on the job, the cartier Santos watch his mother gave him at age 15 was part of that career milestone. “I knew it was a special moment; a turning point in my life. I will never forget that time—it was exactly 7:40 a.m., on June 11, 1991,” he told Philadelphia Style magazine in an interview. Ripert, who has appeared as a guest judge on the popular bravo TV show Top Chef, is a big fan of the Swiss label Vacheron constantin. In fact, the Vacheron constantin american 1921 boutique New york watch in his collection is extra special to him because it’s No. 7 of only 64 produced— and seven is his lucky number. Cartier Santos

In the song, “who Gon Stop me,” Jay-Z raps, “So many watches I need eight arms.” Jay-Z’s impressive watch collection is rumored to include a $5 million diamondencrusted hublot big bang watch. while we can’t confirm the hefty price tag, we do know he rocks a gold hublot classic Fusion in the music video for the song “otis.” Jay-Z also teamed up with audemars piguet to design a Royal oak offshore limited edition watch with his signature engraved on the back for his 10-year anniversary in the music business: only 100 watches were produced. once, during a performance at carnegie hall, Jay-Z rocked three watches in one night, starting with an audemars piguet Jules audemars Tourbillon chronograph, later switching to a Jaeger-lecoultre “Tribute to 1931” Reverso and ending with a Rolex Day-Date II.

Golden Girl With her undeniable beauty, a well-deserved Academy Award® and multimillion-dollar paychecks, Charlize Theron sits at the head of Hollywood’s A-list. But her journey to the top wasn’t easy. By Dorothy Cascerceri

hen Charlize Theron landed in Hollywood in 1994 with one tattered suitcase and $400 in her pocket, winning a coveted Academy Award® for Best Actress probably seemed like a pipe dream. The young actress had nowhere to live and was scraping by paycheck to paycheck. But she figured she had nothing to lose. “My whole life was in one suitcase,” she told Oprah in an interview. “It was a fabric suitcase that I had to fix with hairpins because it had torn.” It’s hard to imagine the A-lister wandering the streets of Los Angeles—but that same courage and confidence that brought

Theron to California brought her the success that made her a household name. She is known for her superb acting, specifically the Oscar she won for her role as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster. Accepting the risky role of a prostitute turned convicted murderer involved the actress gaining 30 pounds for the part and makeup artists transforming her naturally gorgeous face into that of someone unrecognizable. “The only prosthetics we used were on my eyelids, to make them heavier,” she told Oprah. “Everything else was hand-painted and airbrushed. Then I’d pop in the teeth and put in the lenses. I didn’t do anything with my hair. I would wet it in the morning, then comb it back and let it dry that way.”

he transformation wasn’t difficult for Theron, who says appearance was never emphasized growing up in South Africa. “I don’t think my mom ever said, ‘Isn’t she a pretty girl?’ She’d say, ‘You should hear her sing. You should read this poem she wrote.’ The praise was always about what I’d done, not how I looked.”

Shortly after her father’s death, Theron moved to the fashion mecca, Milan, Italy, on a one-year modeling contract. “I was always

Theron went to Capitol Hill in 2013 to speak about fighting the AIDS epidemic. Right: Theron received a second Academy Award® nomination for her performance in North Country.

Career Highlights The Devil’s Advocate (1997) The Hollywood newcomer managed to hold her own against big-screen heavyweights Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves. Her depiction of Mary Ann Lomax, a naive wife married to a young lawyer played by Reeves, is widely considered to be her breakout role. The Cider House Rules (1999) Theron got her first taste of Academy Awards® success when the film, costarring Tobey Maguire and Michael Caine, was nominated for several Oscars. The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000) Robert Redford directed this feel-good drama about a philosophical golf caddy in 1940s Savannah, Georgia, played by Will Smith. Theron mastered a Southern accent for her role of beautiful heiress Adele Invergordon.

Sweet November (2001) Theron reunited with costar Keanu Reeves in this romantic drama set in San Francisco. The star lost weight to play the role of a dying woman who embarks on a one-month relationship with Reeves’ character.

Young Adult (2011) Theron stars as Mavis Gary in this dark comedy about a woman returning to her childhood home who refuses to let go of who she was in high school. She earned a Golden Globe® nomination for her performance.

Monster (2003) Theron won critical praise and an Oscar for her stunning physical transformation and gripping portrayal of prostitute turned serial killer Aileen Wuornos.

Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) Playing Ravenna, the wicked stepmother, involved donning a British accent and stunning costumes in this beautifully shot, dark version of the famous fairy tale. She praised her cast mates Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth, calling them incredible.

The Italian Job (2003) Theron played Stella, a professional safe cracker, in this action-packed heist film with a memorable Mini Cooper car-chase scene through the streets of Los Angeles. North Country (2005) A second Best Actress Academy Award® nomination was received for Theron’s portrayal of Josey Aimes, a miner fighting against workplace sexual harassment.

Mad Max (2014) Headlines were made before the film’s release when photos of Theron’s shaved head for the role of Imperator Furiosa first appeared.

Theron became a mother herself in March 2012 when she adopted her son, Jackson, after a process she said took two painful, frustrating years. Her decision to adopt was one she actually made subconsciously at age eight, she says; she wrote a letter to her mom saying she wanted to adopt a baby from an orphanage. “I think back then it was more like I wanted to adopt a baby to be my sibling; but even at that age, I had this awareness of adoption, so this wasn’t a last-minute thought,” she said in Interview magazine. “It was something that was always under my skin, that I knew would be a part of my life; and, to be honest with you, when I decided to start filing, it was very clear.” Despite the long process, she says, she and her other “children”—her dogs, Denver and Delilah—were immediately smitten. Being a single parent hasn’t been easy, Theron admitted in an interview with US Weekly. But her mother, Gerda, lives near her in L.A. and is actively involved in Jackson’s life. Gerda played a formative role in Theron’s early years as well, which were nowhere near as glamorous as the life on the A-list she lives now. Growing up with an alcoholic father, Theron and her mother were always subject to abuse of some kind. Her mom shot and killed her father in front of 15-year-old Theron after he threatened murder. But the actress doesn’t seem to feel victimized by this; in fact, she’s adopted a positive attitude in spite of it. “I think I’ve gone through my life with the understanding that you’ve got to let go and you can’t think that you’re going to control your destiny,” she told Interview magazine.

reading encyclopedias about the world. So travel was something I was always attracted to…I hadn’t even been on a plane prior to that,” she told The Sun. She continued on to New York City, where she kept modeling and studied dance at the prestigious Joffrey Ballet School. This explains her Ginger Rogers–inspired dance routine at the 2013 Oscars that she performed with actor Channing Tatum. “For me, dancing is similar to acting,” she explained in Interview magazine. “I wasn’t the greatest dancer in terms of technique. But when I went onstage as a dying swan, I became that swan. It was the storytelling aspect that I loved. But I had to stop dancing because my knees were so bad.” Acting proved to be the most successful road for Theron, who was nominated for a second Academy Award® for her performance in North Country, in which she played a coal miner who won a workplace sexual-harassment lawsuit. Despite her success in Hollywood, starring alongside big names such as Keanu Reeves, Will Smith and Matt Damon, Theron has always remained private and continues to value her time out of the limelight. In fact, the morning she received the call that she was nominated for an Oscar for her role in Monster, Theron hopped a plane to a small village in Brazil to escape the madness and returned only when it was time to attend the awards show. “Some people are really into that world, of being photographed, being at the party, being with the guy, being in the Bentley,” she told Vogue. “Good for them, because it’s so entertaining to watch. It’s just not me.”

Reaching Out

Instead of spending her time in clubs or at parties throughout the years, Theron has focused her energy on humanitarian causes, starting Africa Outreach Project in 2007, an AIDS

support program for youth from her home country of South Africa, where a reported 10 percent of the population has the disease. “There are a lot of taboos in rural Africa—it’s not acceptable to talk about safe sex,” she told the Daily Mail. “And a lot of people are dying because nobody’s focusing on [disease] prevention.” She has worked with Oxfam and the International Red Cross among others, and she has lobbied Congress on several occasions

on behalf of the causes she supports. She has even kissed another woman in front of a live audience to raise $140,000 at a charity event for OneXOne, an organization that supports children in Ethiopia and Rwanda. These days, Theron is focused on being a mom and continues using her influence to create positive change and help others. “Human beings are still so undiscovered, and I want to add to our discovery in my work,” she told Oprah. “If I can do that, I’ll be happy.” Discover Style | 77

Out of This World

Filmmaker JameS CamerON is the first person to complete a dive to the deepest part of the ocean solo. The dive was part of Deepsea Challenge, a joint scientific expedition by Cameron, the National Geographic Society and rolex to conduct deep-ocean research.

In 1962, NASA purchased samples of commercially sold wristwatches to test their durability and performance on space missions. Beginning with the Apollo program, NASA selected the Omega Speedmaster Professional as the timepiece of choice for its astronauts. The astronauts used the wristwatch with its sturdy Velcro strap for both intra- and extra-vehicular activities, including moonwalks. During EVA (extra-vehicular activity), they secured the wristbands around the outside of their pressure suits. They used the chronograph or stopwatch feature to time their spacewalks and to monitor the minutes during other scientific chores. Many of the space-traveled Speedmasters are on view at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. But you won’t find Buzz Aldrin’s on display. It was lost on the way to the Smithsonian: current whereabouts unknown.

Another space-centric model, the Bulova Accutron, came out in the 1960s. The world’s first electronic watch, the Accutron was very popular with U.S. pilots during the Vietnam War. It was also used for time references in many satellites and to control some of the Apollo moon experiments. Famously worn by astronaut Scott Carpenter on the cover of Paris Match in 1962, the “Accutron Astronaut” was chosen by some of the “Original 7” astronauts for the first national manned journey into space.

In another super-challenging plummet, Austrian extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner broke the speed of sound by reaching an estimated speed of 833.9 mph when he jumped from the stratosphere during the Mission Red Bull Stratos in 2012. This unbelievable feat made him the first man to break the speed of sound while in freefall. Also an extreme multitasker, Baumgartner collected data during the fall to improve scientific understanding of how the body copes with the extreme conditions near space. “Breaking the speed of sound in freefall is a pioneering effort, and being a pioneer requires risk,” stated Baumgartner before his jump. “This is the ultimate skydive.” Just like the NASA astronauts, he wore a Zenith Stratos Flyback Striking 10th strapped around his wrist on the outside of his spacesuit, making it the first watch to break the speed of sound in a near-space environment.

The Big Blue Eight decades since his internationally famed grandfather, Jacques, began making waves in the world of ocean exploration and conservation, Philippe Cousteau, Jr., carries on his family’s deep-blue legacy. By Claudine Ko

Philippe Cousteau, Jr.’s grandfather always told him: “The world is connected—what we do in one place affects another, and because of that, we as human beings have tremendous power.” But it wasn’t until age 16, when he went exploring firsthand on a “real-life Indiana Jones” trip to Papua New Guinea, that the idea really clicked. “We were walking down a dusty trail one day and saw a group of Huli tribesmen walking toward us with bows and arrows, probably out hunting; and toward the back, three or four young men about my age were wearing Lakers basketball T-shirts,” says Cousteau. “I was blown away. Here I thought we were in one of the most remote parts of the world, and to see these Lakers T-shirts on these young tribesmen who were still in grass skirts, barefoot, with bows and arrows and birds-of-paradise feathers in their noses and headdresses—that is the point where I went, ‘Wow, he was right, we are all connected.’ It was transformational.”

Today, Cousteau continues to crusade for ocean conservation, which you could call a family business. He follows in the footsteps of his explorer and filmmaker father, Philippe, Sr.; his worldrenowned grandfather, Jacques; his uncle, Jean-Michel; his sister, Alexandra; and, in particular, his mother, Jan, whom he considers the greatest influence in his life. “Growing up, my mom was always taking us on adventures, even in our local neighborhood, to recycle, to collect bags, to compost, to grow our own food,” says Cousteau, who grew up modestly between Los Angeles, Connecticut and Paris. This Cousteau is also less prone to the daredevil acts his grandfather, who’d been a French naval officer, pulled off while innovating scuba technology in the early 1940s. “They knew nothing about oxygen toxicity, and nitrogen and tables, and all this other stuff,” says Cousteau of the many hazards involved with underwater diving. “How they didn’t die, without knowing all this; it absolutely boggles the mind.” However, it was his father’s tragic death, which happened during an airplane accident six months before he was born, that had the most profound effect.

IT’s a famIly affaIr Cousteau, diving along the Great Barrier reef, possible in part due to the innovations in scuba technology developed by his grandfather, Jacques Cousteau.

“I always grew up with a specter of his mortality and his death hanging over my life,” says Cousteau. “But instead of making me scared of taking risks, it made me realize that life is short. An accident can jump up and bite you at any minute, and we should do the best with the time that we have.” Cousteau has since taken on a myriad of roles in his overall quest as an environmental advocate, from social entrepreneur and explorer to TV host. “At the end of his life, my grandfather was very focused on youth and education and youth empowerment, and my personal mission in life is to help recognize the power they have to change the world,” says Cousteau, who founded EarthEcho International with his older sister, Alexandra, in 2000. Since then, the nonprofit has worked to help educators guide students toward leadership in environmental activism. “It’s great to see what kids themselves come up with to take action,” says Cousteau, who now splits his time between Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. “We’ve seen them pass laws; we’ve seen them raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s earth-moving stuff, not just some little project. Adults are so often dismissive of young people—‘That’s nice, they’ll just do a lemonade stand…’ I’m always telling adults, ‘When was the last time you did something?’”

Missoni sarong

Romper Developed in early-1900s America as the evolution of the pinafore (an apron-style garment often worn over a dress), the romper was originally advertised as children’s play clothes. It became accepted as proper women’s wear in the early 1960s, when the garment was regularly worn by pin-up girls and film stars. The light, one-piece design of a romper makes it a popular choice for casual daywear or as a bathing suit cover-up on the beach. Adopted by high-fashion designers and often spotted on runways around the world, the romper has transitioned into accepted evening wear in materials like silk, cashmere and satin.

Frenchman Louis Réard, creator of the bikini

Bikini The earliest versions of the bikini date back to ancient Greek and Roman times, when women athletes and dancers wore skimpy clothing while competing or performing. The modern version was designed in 1946 by Frenchman Louis Réard in an attempt to make the world’s smallest bathing suit, and is now worn by millions of women around the world. Réard named it after Bikini Atoll, part of the Republic of the marshall Islands, where the atomic bomb had been tested the summer before. He thought the revealing swimwear would shock people as the bombing had.

Sarong The infinite versatility of the sarong makes it a warm-weather vacation must-have. easily worn as a swimsuit cover-up, a skirt or a belt, the sarong can also transition into a dress or as a wrap thrown over your shoulders on a chilly evening. Both men and women around the world wear sarongs, and the term is regionally specific. Known as a sarong in South Asia, a pareu in Polynesia and a lavalava in Samoa, the garment has varying histories and cultural significance across the globe. In areas of Southeast Asia, it is customary for men to wear sarongs only on Fridays while attending mosque. In Bali, many temples require visitors to wear sarongs; and in parts of the Arab Peninsula, men often wear sarongs while fishing.

It first appeared in 1953 and today is an iconic piece of eyewear. Wayfarers’ lightweight, nonmetal frames were first popularized by James Dean and then resurrected in the 1980s by Tom Cruise’s character in Risky Business. It’s one of the biggest-selling styles of sunglasses globally. Jackie Kennedy Onassis forged new ground in the history of sunglasses with her oversize frames in the 1960s and 1970s. This feminine look became associated with Onassis’ elegance and class and has been copied millions of times over by women everywhere.

Actor Tom Cruise resurrected the Wayfarer design in the 1980s film Risky Business.

Sunglasses The protective attributes of sunglasses make them a sunny-day staple; the assortment of shapes, sizes, colors and designs make them a fashion essential, sunshine or not. Sunglasses first hit the vacation world in 1929 when Sam Foster sold the first set of Foster Grant sunglasses on the boardwalk of Atlantic City. Bausch + Lomb developed aviators for pilots in 1936 (branded as Ray-Ban). They gained public notoriety when General Douglas MacArthur wore them during World War II and have since infiltrated

Contrary to expectations, the Panama hat originated in Ecuador, where it is known as a sombrero de paja toquilla, or “hat of toquilla straw,” and is carefully crafted by skilled weavers. The practice of constructing the hat is a time-honored tradition that dates back several hundred years. Straw is harvested once a month, the ideal time being when the plants have the least amount of moisture, and is then washed and dried before being weaved. The hat was imported to the Isthmus of Panama in the mid-1800s and, thanks to the California Gold Rush and a steady flow of travelers through Panama, acquired its common name by those purchasing and transporting it through North America and into the United States. With the building of the Panama Canal in 1906 came resounding publicity for the hat when President Theodore Roosevelt was photographed wearing one while visiting the canal. Today, the Panama hat continues to be a staple for men and women alike, not only protecting the face from the sun but also serving as a style statement. Discover Style | 97

Daytime Wines

When the sun shines, a quenching wine is in order. Rosé is a celebrated daytime wine across the world. Predominantly made from red grapes, the grape juice spends as little time in contact with the skins as possible while in production: The more contact the juice has with the skins, the darker the juice becomes and the more powerful the flavors. Throughout history, rosé has been produced to be a refreshing drink and is served chilled. It pairs excellently with brunch foods; salads; and cheeses and meats, such as aged cheddars and prosciutto. Sparkling wines are the perfect pairing for a day outdoors—sun on your face and bubbles in your glass. Often a celebratory beverage, these wines are commonly sipped to commemorate special occasions. Though sparkling wines are often referred to as champagne, the correct nomenclature is dependent on the region of origin. Champagne can refer only to sparkling wines from the Champagne region of France. In recent years, both cava and prosecco—from Spain and Italy, respectively— have gained popularity and can be found at more reasonable prices than champagne. Like their bubbly cousin, they also range in flavor from sweet to dry.

Dinner Wines

White Chardonnay serves as a happy medium for any table. Grown for centuries in all corners of the world because of their hardiness in a myriad of climates, chardonnay grapes feature flavors that can be counted on to pair well with fresh fish, pastas and chicken. Erica Crawford, a certified sommelier working in California wine country points out, “Chardonnay is the most widely planted and consumed white grape in the world. It boomed in the California market in the late-1970s and 1980s. Chardonnay has the uncanny ability to exhibit diverse wine-making styles, and each bottle can be quite distinct depending on where the grapes were grown.”

Red The most notable feature of pinot noir is its age-old history. Traceable to Roman times, pinot noir is one of the oldest cultivated varietals in the world. Its lighter, more subtle flavors complement an array of food well, and it’s a safe choice when looking for a red that won’t overpower delicate dishes. Both the Burgundy region of France and the coastal regions of California grow some of the world’s finest pinot noirs worthy of exploration. For those having rich, heavy meals like a juicy steak, a more masculine wine—such as cabernet sauvignon—is appropriate. This wine is instantly recognizable with its full-bodied

“When pairing wine with food, you can go for likeness of flavors or contrast,” Crawford explains when discussing the relationship between wine and food. “With the latter, you’re looking to highlight a flavor of one with the other, creating a point-counterpoint on the palate. If you’ve got fat on the plate, you want acid to cut through that fat.” With Super Tuscan wines, radical Italian winemakers successfully raised the level of sophistication of Italian wines. In modern culture, Italian wines are equated with chianti, a basic table wine. Crawford explains, “Chianti isn’t terrible, but Super Tuscans found a way to take Italian wine to the next level.” Super Tuscans combine cabernet, Sangiovese and other Italian varietals to create robust, complex flavors that complement hearty dinner cuisine.

Swirl, Sniff, Sip Order a bottle of wine and you know what comes next: A server presents the bottle, uncorks it and pours a glass for someone at the table to taste. Here are three simple steps to master this quality-control check. Swirl Lightly swirl the wine in your glass without spilling it. This opens up the molecules by exposing them to oxygen and allowing the wine to breathe after an extended period in the bottle. The “legs” dripping down the sides of the glass indicate the density of the wine and often relate to high levels of alcohol and sugar, but they are not necessarily indicators of what flavors are to come.

Cocktail Wines

Sniff Let your nose linger over the glass and inhale. If you detect anything that resembles wet newspaper, old attic or damp metal pipes— the wine is corked and flawed beyond repair. Let your server know and have a replacement bottle sent to the table.

Some wines can stand alone and do not necessarily need to be paired with food. Zinfandel is one varietal appropriate for cocktail hour or an after-dinner drink. With origins in both Italy (Primitivo) and Croatia (Crljenak Kastelanski), zinfandel epitomizes the beginnings of California winemaking. Early on, it was the state’s primary grape, thanks to its ability to grow in warmer climates with little maintenance. This is a wine that drinks well young, providing bold, fruit-forward notes and higher alcohol content similar to spirits. “The most important aspect of wine is to have an opinion,” Crawford stresses. Both white and red wines can range from easily drinkable to a bit more complex. Even when choosing a wine that is considered a good catchall, there will still be different perspectives. She reminds us that wine’s greatest appeal may lie in its subjectivity, inviting lively discussions, debate and endless discovery.

Sip The important part of your first sip is to take it slowly. Let the wine gently roll over your tongue and along your palate. Your initial reaction may be completely different from what you smelled, and therein lies the beauty of wine: your personal journey with what is in the glass.

Puerto Rico The fortress of El Morro, which dates back to the 1500s, is considered a must-see for visitors to San Juan. For those who haven’t had a chance to visit, El Morro can be seen in the 1997 Steven Spielberg movie Amistad, starring Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Djimon Hounsou and Matthew McConaughey. The film chronicles the 1839 mutiny aboard the schooner La Amistad by Africans who had been sold into slavery; the fortress was used as the site of the African slave fort from which they set sail. The Arecibo Observatory houses the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope and is famously used to search outer space for extraterrestrial signals. In the 1997 movie Contact, filmed at the observatory, art imitates life as Jodie Foster plays a young scientist searching the skies for alien life. The observatory and its giant telescope also served as the location for the final fight scene in the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye. Pierce Brosnan stars in his debut as James Bond, and he and his sexy nemesis, Natalya Simonova, battle along the rim of the dish, eventually tumbling to the bottom in the film’s finale. Barbados The 1957 classic Island in the Sun, starring Harry Belafonte, James Mason, Joan Collins and Dorothy Dandridge, was partly shot in Barbados. Filming took place at the historic Farley Hill Mansion, built in 1818 as a place to entertain visiting royals. The mansion hosted the likes of Prince Albert and King George V of England and was considered a major tourist attraction on the island. Eight years after filming, Farley Hill caught fire. In 1966, the same year Barbados gained independence, the 17-acre property was officially opened as a national park by Queen Elizabeth II. Discover Style | 117

St. Lucia Picturesque marigot Bay, located on the western coast of St. lucia, famously hosted a giant pink snail during the filming of the 1967 version of Dr. Dolittle. Rex Harrison starred in the title role, and the film was nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Picture, winning Oscars for both Best Original Song and Best Visual Effects. At the time of filming, the local children were suffering from a gastrointestinal illness caused by freshwater snails, so the locals did not welcome the giant snail prop or the crew with open arms. St lucia’s soaring Piton mountains can be seen in the first installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise. After filming on the lush island, Johnny Depp often returned to vacation with his family in marigot Bay.

Clockwise from top: Pirates of The Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl, starring Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, was shot throughout the Caribbean; Land’s End in Cabo San Lucas is one of the area’s noteworthy natural landmarks; the fortress of El Morro is considered a must-see for visitors to San Juan.

Visitors to Tikal National Park love climbing Temple IV for the all-encompassing views of the ancient mayan ruins, but Star Wars fans from around the globe flock to the temple for a different reason. Tikal appears in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope as a rebel base for Han Solo’s spacecraft landing on the moon named Yavin 4. Director George lucas chose Tikal after he saw a poster for it in a travel agency. while filming in 1977, the crew positioned lights and heavy camera gear atop the 210-foot-high Temple IV using a pulley apparatus. They hired local guards to protect the equipment and are said to have paid them in six-packs of beer. Tikal can also be seen in the 1979 James Bond film Moonraker, starring Roger moore. The park was used as the exterior of Bond adversary Sir Hugo Drax’s headquarters.

Cabo San Lucas The epic film Troy, starring Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom, was shot on the beaches of Cabo Falso near Cabo San lucas. The great wall and gates of Troy were constructed on-site, and many of the area residents were employed as extras in the battle scenes. Not much of the set remains though, because soon after most filming was completed in 2003, Hurricane marty blew in and destroyed the set. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, starring Blake lively, Amber Tamblyn and America Ferrera, was partly filmed just north of Cabo. Blake lively’s character attended a fictional summer camp in the area, and her onscreen time featured sweeping views of the nearby town of Todos Santos, the Pacific Ocean and the rugged mountainside.

Bond in Die Another Day (2002) with his favorite drink, a martini; Ernest Hemingway, at his typewriter at age 40, preferred mojitos and daiquiris.

From Russia (or maybe Poland) with Love

Vodka’s origins are highly disputed, with some accounts giving credit to Russia, and others attributing its first distillation to Poland. It was often used as a medicinal cure-all in Europe in the 15th century. Ian Fleming’s James Bond series and its dapper leading man revolutionized the definition of a martini when the secret agent asked for it to be made with vodka and dry vermouth, instead of the standard at the time of gin and vermouth. And of course, it was shaken, not stirred. Because of this, 007 is said to have influenced vodka’s incredible rise in popularity. By the late 1960s, vodka was outselling gin in the United States, and less than 10 years later, surpassing whiskey.

Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum

Colonial New England manufactured so much rum that, at one time, it was accepted as a currency in Europe. George Washington was a big fan and even requested a barrel of rum at his 1789 presidential inauguration. Ernest Hemingway, the great American

writer, wrote nearly as often as he enjoyed a solid rum drink. He would invite friends to visit him in Cuba and partake in drinking his favorite spirit. He’s most famous for drinking mojitos at La Bodeguita del Medio and indulging in daiquiris at La Florida bar, or as he called it “El Floridita.” To truly channel Hemingway, sit down with a Papa Doble, his take on the daiquiri; he claimed to have knocked back 16 in one night.

No Such Thing as Bad Whiskey

Cheers to Americana with a glass of bourbon, “the Official Spirit of America.” Yes, Lyndon B. Johnson actually gave bourbon the presidential stamp in 1964 when he signed an act of Congress that stated the spirit is a distinctive product identifiable with the United States. Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner has long perplexed many readers with his lengthy, complex writing. When asked about his writing style, he apparently said, “I usually write at night. I always keep my whiskey within reach; so many ideas that I can’t remember in the morning pop into my head.” His favorite: mint juleps made with mint, simple syrup and bourbon.

Drink Up, Old Sport

In the British colonies, quinine and carbonated water mixed with a bit of gin was used to fight malaria; this became the base for the gin and tonic of today. Gin was one of the greatest benefactors of Prohibition-era America because of its short production timetable. F. Scott Fitzgerald, famous for The Great Gatsby and the elaborate parties he wrote about, personally enjoyed this

spirit and claimed it was undetectable on his breath. Story has it that one evening, Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, showed up to a party in their pajamas (the invitation said “come as you are”) and went on to enjoy quite a few gin rickeys. Theodor Geisel can also thank gin for granting him a household name. After getting caught with some bootleg gin, which resulted in a stern removal from his college magazine in the spring of 1925, he began writing under a pseudonym so he could still submit work. Without gin, dr. Seuss would be, well, Theo.

enjoying the tasty rewards, now as 1911 Vodka. The production of 1911 Vodka is smallbatch, meaning that only a limited number of bottles are produced each year. Every step of the process is controlled in-house from tree to bottle, beginning with the planting of the trees to the distillation that is done on-site, and finally the bottling of the vodka done by hand. The final product doesn’t taste sweet or fruity despite being made from apples, and instead has a clean, smooth taste that is perfect when served chilled and sipped straight or mixed in a refreshing cocktail.

Celebrity SparklerS Victoria Beckham wears her pinkdiamond ring proudly. It was a gift from husband David Beckham.

The sTory of colored diamonds begins in the 17th century, with a Frenchman named Jean-Baptiste Tavernier and a 115-carat blue diamond. Tavernier sailed to India, Persia and Indonesia and brought back sketches of colorful stones that he felt had immense value. Eventually, he brought back the real things, including a stunning 115-carat blue diamond from the Golconda mines in India. He sold it and several smaller stones to France’s King Louis XIV. The king wore the “Royal French Blue” diamond, as did his

descendants Louis XV and Louis XVI. The diamond and other crown jewels were stolen in 1792 during the French Revolution, shortly before Louis XVI and his queen, Marie Antoinette, were beheaded. While some of the jewels from the looting were recovered, the Royal French Blue disappeared; legend has it that thieves smuggled the costly gem to London, where it was cut into two pieces. The larger of these two pieces is said to have come into the possession of England’s King George IV and then sold to

Its three subsequent owners— including a Russian princess after whom the diamond is named—all jumped to their deaths. A gem dealer cut the diamond into three pieces in an attempt to “break the curse.”

cover debts after his death in 1830. In 1839, it mysteriously reappeared in British banker Henry Philip Hope’s published collection of gems. After passing through the Hope family lineage, it was sold in 1901 to avoid bankruptcy. In 1911, American socialite Evalyn Walsh McLean and her husband, Ned, owner of The Washington Post, were shown the Hope Diamond during a trip to Paris. Intrigued by the stone’s mysterious history, they soon became the Hope Diamond’s new owners, bringing it to the United States. Evalyn wore the diamond often—pairing it with the latest fashions of the time—despite rumors and warnings that the stone had a very dark past. Two years after her death in 1945, the trustees of her estate were forced to sell the gem to diamond merchant Harry Winston to settle her

debts. This, along with illness, accidents, adultery and other tragedies falling upon the McLean family, like the many owners before, solidified the “curse” of the Hope Diamond. Today, that same “cursed” diamond found by Tavernier and worn by kings can be viewed in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Some of the most magnificent gems today date back to Tavernier’s time. But only recently has the value of colored diamonds skyrocketed, as their rarity has been better understood and their appeal magnified by appearing on celebrities like Victoria Beckham, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez. Many are on display in museums and traveling exhibits all over the world, making the glamour and mystery of these famous stones accessible to all.

Something happens in the final moments of a race—a surge, an ignition of kinetic energy. And it’s then, seconds from the finish line, that years of hard work and passion are realized. By Marco riekstins

For many of the world’s top athletes, that passion is put to the test at the olympic Games as they go for gold in sports to which they’ve dedicated their whole lives. the athletes shown here all managed race-winning times in the face of enormous pressure during the last seconds of their biggest races.

Michael Phelps [1]

at the 2012 summer olympics in London, swimmer Michael Phelps became the most decorated olympian of all time with a total of 22 medals; 18 of them were gold. in one of his last races, the 4x200-meter freestyle relay, Phelps swam the final leg for the United states. it was the team’s fastest, leading them to a 3.07-second win over France. Phelps retired from racing after taking the record for the most first-place finishes at any single olympic Games.

Fanny Blankers-Koen [2]

Fanny Blankers-koen was a 30-year-old mother of two from the netherlands when she competed in the 1948 London Games in track & field. World War ii had resulted in the cancellation of the 1940 and 1944 olympic Games, but her desire to compete continued despite the long wait. she set several world records in events, including the long jump, sprint and hurdles; she won the inaugural 200-meter sprint for women in 24.4 seconds, seven-tenths of a second ahead of the runner-up. she captured four gold medals, the most by any woman in a single olympics, and returned to amsterdam as a national hero. Her olympic victories have been credited with helping end the stereotypes of age and motherhood as barriers to success in women’s sport.

Eric Heiden [3]

at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter olympics, american speed skater eric Heiden dominated the field. His first race, the 500 meters, was considered his weak spot. He narrowly beat soviet favorite yevgeny kulikov by .34 seconds, setting his first olympic record. among his four olympic records that year, one was a world record. Herculean Heiden became the first olympian to win five individual gold medals in a single olympics.

Franz Klammer [4]

“the austrian astronaut” was the downhill skiing favorite entering the 1976 Winter olympics after winning eight of nine World cup races in 1975. in the downhill race, defending champion Bernhard russi of switzerland was holding first place. the course was icy and treacherous by the time klammer took his turn. With adrenaline rushing through his veins, and showing reckless disregard for his own safety, klammer flew down the hill, missing disaster at every turn. His audacious and thrilling performance won him the gold medal, finishing .33 seconds ahead of russi.

LOOK GOOD

NECESSARY GOODS

MaKeup artist Melissa Conner has seen famous faces like Alicia Keys, George Clooney and Cher sans makeup: She and her makeup brushes are no strangers to red-carpet events like the Oscars, the MTV Video Music Awards and the Country Music Association Awards. Here she shares her top travel beauty tips for looking great and keeping it fuss-free while at sea.

Before You Go

Hydrating facials are great before a sun-soaked vacation, but steer clear of laser treatments and peels to avoid sun damage or hyperpigmentation (dark spots on skin). Ask for advice from your dermatologist, who knows your skin’s history. Book an appointment with your stylist a week ahead for a trim. If you have highlights, bring a leave-in conditioner or a UV spray to protect your hair from chlorine and the sun.

Vacation Time

While on vacation, keep your look fresh and natural. For daytime, a liquid bronzer with SPF will even skin tone and give you a natural glow. Add

color with a matte rose-colored cream blush and a tinted lip balm. For night, a creamy coral for lip and cheeks works on most skin tones. A bronzy eye always looks great for summer with waterproof gel eyeliner and mascara. For hair, keep it simple. Loose, natural beach waves are the way to go. Manicures and pedicures may start to fade and look messy mid-week; book an appointment at the onboard salon for a quick polish change, or relax with a full-service manicure and pedicure during one of your sea days. After days of sun, fun and exploring, it’s time to relax; I like to spend the last day of cruising at the ship’s spa indulging in a massage or body scrub.

Home Sweet Home

Once back home, enjoy a detox facial to rehydrate your skin after all that drying sun and sea, the sugary tropical drinks and decadent treats. Use a clarifying shampoo, followed by a deep-conditioning hair mask to smooth away the excesses of your trip.

Making Scents of It All By A NNA VOiSA R d

HavE yOu EvEr walked by someone and been instantly struck by a bright orange-blossom scent or the warm aromas of spice and vanilla? Maybe it reminded you of a vacation you took years ago or a favorite childhood dessert. Well, that memoryinducing scent has its own backstory. Much like striking the right balance of ingredients in a recipe, creating a perfume involves precise testing and blending of natural elements like flowers, oils and spices. Perfumers, the people who create and perfect scents for the mass market, begin with ideas and inspiration; but they need chemistry and biology to find the balance that makes “scents.” For the director of sensory for a global leader in the fragrance and flavor industry, perfume development is an art and a science. As both a passionate scientist and scent connoisseur, she feels that understanding the ingredients and their aromas together with how they can be combined is an amazing process.

Where To?

While France is still home to most of the world’s perfume houses, many fashion labels and popular perfumers search the globe to track down olfactory inspiration. At Hermès, perfumers took a trip

down the Nile River in an old wooden motorboat to find the green mango, incense and grapefruit notes used in Un Jardin Sur Le Nil. The fresh smell of the Nile that was re-created in the laboratory was then blended with a fine-tuned combination of wood, magnolia, lotus and carrot.

On Paper

Because consumers buy perfumes based on the way they smell on those thin paper strips, perfumers test on both paper and skin. A fragrance may work well on paper, but once the elements grace the skin, dramatic changes can occur: Scents often clash with a body’s natural chemistry, oil and smell. Perfumers test and re-test, adjusting measurements to make sure a scent is pleasant on both paper and skin and that it has longevity.

Hot Now

According to the industry standard Bell’s Fragrance Forecast, current scent trends lean toward escapism, be it to an exotic vacation destination or somewhere familiar with loved ones. Bell researchers call it the “Resort Retreat” and define the trend as “fragrances that remind people of what’s important, like family, friends and a slowpaced lifestyle.”

FRAGRANT GETAWAY For an easy Caribbean escape, look for perfumes that include gardenia, coconut, vanilla or frangipani. A few to try: Lavanila’s Fresh Vanilla Lemon Fragrance, Bulgari’s Omnia Coral and Escada’s Island Kiss.

Lasting Impression By Cl au din e Ko

“Great celebrations are essential because they bring us joy.” —Christian Dior

From left: Feather embroidery at work; detail of a Christian Dior SS2013 Haute Couture dress; Daisy Fellowes at the Beistegui ball in a gown by Christian Dior; laying of the feathers on the oscillating weight; Christian Dior in disguise as the King of Animals.

in 1951, five years after he opened the House of dior on avenue Montaigne in Paris, the legendary Christian dior was asked by the artist Salvador dalí and Singer sewing-machine heiress daisy Fellowes to design their costumes for mining heir and multimillionaire Charles de Beistegui’s renowned masked ball, le Bal oriental. Held in the Palazzo labia on the Grand Canal in Venice, it was a night of lavish decadence, ultimately garnering the title of the “party of the century.” dior himself, a deep admirer of such extravagant affairs, declared it as “the finest celebration i have seen or ever will see.” Twenty-five years later, the dior label—already revered for its iconic fashion, jewelry and perfume—entered a new realm: watchmaking. and now, les ateliers Horlogers dior have created 88, limited-edition, luxury timepieces honoring the designer’s obsession with lavish balls, dubbed the dior Viii Grand Bal Plume. “as a general rule, what cannot be seen or seen very little must be made with materials just as beautiful, if not more beautiful, than the rest,” dior once said. So it follows that each oscillating weight of the dior Viii Plume collection is exquisitely adorned with a fan of delicately arranged, fawn-colored feathers evoking the swirling movements of a ball gown, the tips of which are festooned with baguette-cut diamonds and pink gold. This is all elegantly displayed on top of the white mother-of-pearl dial and encased under sapphire-crystal glass with opalescent sapphire crystal on the underside. The bracelet is constructed from pyramid-shaped, high-tech ceramic links with an unfolding pink-gold clasp. Much like the energy spent on creating an elaborate ball gown, each complication requires 18 months of production, combining the finest mechanics with the most exquisite ornamental detail. “dior’s watchmaking vocation is to draw inspiration from the heritage of an Haute Couture house with everything that implies in terms of timeless elegance—which never goes out of fashion—that is to say, femininity, creativity, know-how, quality and excellence in the making, as well as refined materials and details,” says President of dior, laurence nicolas. “dior watchmaking might well be the marriage of an elegant Parisian from avenue Montaigne with a Swiss watchmaker.” This is Parisian luxury at its best, perfected to every last subtlety, and fused with Swiss expertise. The culminating effect: each second that passes across the face seems to whisper, “let’s dance.”
