EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

SPRING CLEANING

Nothing like a column on toxic household cleaners to make you want to clean up your act. Ivey Leidy tells us how on page 68.

STYLE IN SPADES

In the 17 years I’ve served as editor in chief of this magazine, Palm Beachers have grown accustomed to my texts and emails starting with “I have a crazy idea…” Depending on the month and the mood, that could be anything from hosting Thanksgiving dinner in August to wearing gowns made completely of flowers to shooting an ensemble at midnight so we could get the light right. We do like to keep things lively.

This month’s crazy idea, which was birthed during an editorial summit (I swear there was no alcohol involved), revolved around the concept of digital fashion. A few designers are creating NFT collections, some more outrageous than others, featuring clothing that’s available only in the metaverse and can be purchased with various forms of cryptocurrency on OpenSea. Why would one do this? To dress their avatar, of course!

If you’re rolling your eyes right now, hear me out. There’s a certain amount of fantasy in fashion, and we don’t always get to indulge it when we dress for dinner or a charity ball. So why not let our hair down and experiment in another dimension? Three fearless fashionistas understood that concept and were game to try. Gratitude to Sue Jin Seth, Courtney Schlesinger, and Amanda Vanderziel Cummings for allowing us to design their avatars, dress them in digital Dolce & Gabbana, and place them in trippy, post-futuristic worlds. Ready to teleport into the metaverse? Turn to page 110 and let “Digital Twins” take you there.

Meanwhile, back in real life, we feature some of our most stylish men in “Palm Beach Dandies.” Our cover model, Nick Hissom, is no stranger to being in front of the camera. As a music artist and model, he understands performing and fashion; as a gallerist, he gets art.

Photographer Camilo Rios (aka RIOCAM) captured Nick’s personality through an artistic lens, while Nick Mele brought out the exuberance of jeweler Mish Tworkowski, the soccerdad-meets-retail-mogul vibe of Jay Hartington, and the preppy spirit of hometown historian Rick Rose. Meet this year’s Dandies on page 102.

And don’t miss the rest of our style content, which ranges from an exploration of color in our fashion editorial (page 124) to a roundup of glittering shoulder dusters (page 80). I hope our pages will inspire you to have fun—maybe even take a few risks—with fashion. Enjoy!

SOAK AWAY

After a month like this one, we’ll all need a relaxing bath ritual. Check out our favorite products to elevate the experience. Page 82.

JUST DANDY

It all began with matching outfits. My nana and my mother always coordinated my sister and me for childhood photos. My future trajectory as high school “Best Dressed” was set while still a toddler. By then I had the full preppy kit: Izod with flipped collar, blue Stan Smiths (long before my daughters caught on that they were cool), and a blazer for chemistry class. It was an early affliction that has stayed with me.

With that background, it should come as no surprise that our March issue is one that I look forward to most. The four gentlemen profiled this month in “Palm Beach Dandies” take dressing and creativity seriously. It is always fascinating around Palm Beach to see not only what men are wearing, but how they are wearing it. Like our local architecture, the well-dressed tend to include a bit of detail and influence from beyond our shores. We recently spied a gentleman friend of the magazine sporting a double-strand pearl bracelet—an incredible piece and an amazing statement!

This issue also signals the beginning of our seventy-first year publishing this magazine. As the local population swells, we are fortunate that new residents have an affinity for what we do. They are curious about the people and activities that make Palm Beach tick. With each issue, Palm Beach Illustrated profiles the newly arrived, the longlived, and the standard-bearers of fashion, trends, and philanthropy. We find ourselves in good company as The Island’s influence has crossed the bridges west.

Everywhere we look we see new buildings, faces, and opportunity. With that growth comes a responsibility for all of us to respect what has gone before and to preserve what makes this region a true paradise. With an eye toward a stylish and prosperous future, we look forward to embracing the growth and the new residents coming our way.

Until the next issue,

THE INSIDE TRACK TO EVERYTHING PALM BEACH

DOG DAYS

Setting Gray Malin’s iconic work in Palm Beach is a match made in photography heaven. Adding a pack of super-spoiled pooches into the mix? Even better. Old World meets New in Malin’s latest tome, Dogs of Palm Beach, a fantastical photographic journey complete with posh pups that drive vintage cars and flaunt designer brands at hot spots like The Royal Poinciana Plaza, Worth Avenue, and The Colony. Adding to the fun, Malin sourced local dogs for this project, spanning 18 breeds from a Great Dane to a long-haired dachshund. Out this month, the book is a celebration of the one-of-a-kind island we call home, where spaniels sipping Champagne on private planes and cavaliers playing croquet are real life rather than fairy tale.

EVERY Woman

When women band together, they are unstoppable, and the Zonta Club of Boca Raton proves just that. A chapter of Zonta International, the Zonta Club of Boca Raton was chartered in 1975 and upholds a mission to “build a better world for women.” It accomplishes this by empowering women and girls through advocacy and community service as well as working to spread awareness of issues affecting the advancement of women in our community.

The club has financially supported local nonprofits such as Boca Helping Hands, the Human Trafficking Coalition of the Palm Beaches, and the Not Just Me Foundation, which helps sexual assault survivors. Members also award two annual scholarships to benefit women seeking higher education, and the club has an ongoing endowment scholarship at Palm Beach State College to support nontraditional-aged

WILD Winos

You may love sipping wine with your sister, but not as much as Shera and Maxime Kaan-Lilly do. The Boca Raton duo recently launched a bestserved-chilled blend of California Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Their Wildlilly Wine is carried at Eau Palm Beach, Cucina, Elisabetta’s, and various other local establishments. Here, the Kaan-Lilly girls discuss their vino venture. (wildlillywine.com) —S.S.

PBI: What made you want to start a wine company?

Shera: We ask ourselves that all the time because it’s such a competitive industry. We’ve always loved drinking our reds chilled, as do our friends, so we wanted to create a quality juice that was quite literally born to chill. We were also over rosé and loathed that feeling of how it sits in the stomach. The other key inspiration is that less than 5 percent of the wine industry is comprised of women. Since females are the largest wine consumer segment in the U.S., that didn’t make sense to us. Shouldn’t we have a say in what we’re drinking? Tell us about the branding and bottle design.

XShera: For too long, wine branding has been stuck in the past. Every other bottle is a picture of a château or vineyard. … Our bottle is clear, which is unusual for a red wine; we do this because we want customers to be able to actually see what they’ll be drinking before they purchase it. … We finish each bottle with

a pink “sister-owned” neck label because we want customers to know that this is a family-owned business and that women can create great wine too.

What’s your favorite way to drink your wine?

Maxime: By itself, straight out of the fridge or an ice bucket; aromas of wild cherry, ripe strawberry, and vanilla bean burst through when kept in its purest form. Or, if we have a hankering for more of a wine cocktail experience, we’ll give it some flair by adding a large square ice cube and a lemon peel.

women returning to school to complete a degree.

All members have business or professional experience and “are long-standing supporters of the Zonta mission,” shares Shirin Weisman, president of the Zonta Club of Boca Raton. “Though our purpose is female-focused, we welcome any person who shares our vision for a better world. Our monthly meetings are always open to guests and speakers, and we welcome new members to rejuvenate us with new ideas and energy.” (zontabocaraton.org) —S.S.

THE NEXT BIG THING

If you see eight Trojan horses converging on City Hall this month, don’t be alarmed: It’s the culmination of a community engagement project from the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority and Arts & Entertainment District aimed at seeking locals’ input about their vision for the future of their city.

Created under the guidance of Finnish artist and architect Marco Casagrande, Trojan Rocking Horses consists of eight life-size rocking horses designed by local children and fabricated by Alaska native Marty Ross (a former pipeline worker and welder turned international artist) at the Loxahatchee home of retired master welder Jerry Hobbs. The eight design workshop locations, from the South Florida Fairgrounds to Palm Beach Public Elementary School to Esperanza Community Center, are also the starting point for the horses’ procession downtown, which will begin March 6. Along the

LIVING History

The COVID drama of 2020 was destined to go down in history and make for some memorable stories someday. Palm Beach resident Deborah Goodrich

Royce is already on it: Her new novel, Reef Road, was published in January and is set in Palm Beach during the lockdown. Inspired by a real-world crime, the novel unfolds in two separate fictional narratives that twist together, linking a brutal murder in 1948 Pittsburgh with a man’s severed hand washing up on the shores of Palm Beach in 2020.

Royce began working on the novel while quarantining in Palm Beach during the early months of the pandemic.

“Those long days alternated between writing at my desk, which overlooks the lake, and traveling the strangely empty island by bicycle,” she says. “It was in my explora-

way, residents can submit aspirational messages about the future of West Palm Beach to put into the horses.

On March 10, the horses will converge at the fountains and parade down Clematis Street to the City Hall courtyard, where the mayor will read select messages.

tions that I chose the setting of the actual Reef Road in which to locate much of the story. If you’re anything like me, you enjoy reading fiction that is set in a real place with which you’re familiar. As such, Reef Road will treat you to a plethora of local sites—albeit through a very dark lens—as you try to unravel the intersecting stories of ‘the writer,’ obsessed with a long-past murder, and ‘the wife,’ whose life comes unglued on Reef Road.”

This book—which is for sale at both the Classic Bookshop and the Palm Beach Book Store—is best devoured on the beach at the end of Reef Road. (deborahgood richroyce.com) —S.S.

SARAH MCLACHLAN OPENS UP ABOUT HER RELATIONSHIP TO MUSIC

BY JUDY ALEXANDRA DIEDWARDO

When Sarah McLachlan began taking ukulele lessons at the age of 4, she had no idea that she would one day become a Grammy Award–winning musician. Now, the multiplatinum Canadian singersongwriter is known around the world for such hits as “I Will Remember You” and “Angel.” Ahead of her performance at the Kravis Center gala March 1, PBI caught up with McLachlan to discuss how music has shaped her life and more. (kravis.org, 561-651-4320)

« PBI: You’ve been playing music since you were a small child. Have the benefits gone beyond music?

McLachlan: Without a doubt. Music saved my life. As a teenager I struggled socially. I was insecure and didn’t have any friends. Music was a constant friend. [It was] the one thing I was good at, which gave me a sense of myself [and] a place in the world.

Is that why you built the nonprofit Sarah McLachlan School of Music 20 years ago, providing free music education and mentorship to at-risk youth?

Absolutely. Music is like breathing for me. It’s such an important part of emotional develop-

ment. The school is an incredible source of pride for me, to see the progression of these children coming through the program. A minimum of two years music education improves cognitive and social emotional skills across the board.

After studying for a year at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design your life took an unexpected turn.

Yes. I was signed by a small independent label in Vancouver based on one gig and a few demos that they heard. I was incredibly lucky. Despite your success, you’ve been candid about your struggles, including the loss of both parents, divorce, and separation from your longtime manager.

I don’t tend to edit myself. I like showing up honestly and authentically. I think it’s important to talk about the failures and struggles because life isn’t a straight path. We all screw up, and I’ve had some epic ones. But it’s how we learn and grow. I’m a regular person with issues like everyone else. The most important thing is to keep growing and learning. What did your 2017 induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame mean?

I received many awards when I was younger but never felt deserving of them. It took many years to finally say, “You know what? I deserve this! I’m gonna own this moment. I’m gonna enjoy the hell out of it,” which felt so good! You’ve used your platform for advocacy, like the ASPCA campaign, which became synonymous with your hit song “Angel.” I love animals and loved the opportunity to be a voice for them. The campaign raised $30 million, which is incredible. It makes me feel good that something so simple touched so many hearts.

Your last album was in 2016. Do you have another in the works?

I’m slowly getting back to writing for a new record. I think there are one or two new songs that I will sing when in Florida. I love playing Florida for all sorts of reasons. It’s especially wonderful in the winter when it’s sunny and warm—unlike Vancouver. I also have a great band. It’s nice to make music again.

TAKING CARE

DR. JEAN MONICE’S MISSION IS THE BEST KIND OF MEDICINE

BY SAM KERRIGAN

For pediatrician Dr. Jean Monice, the people he treats are more than just patients—and treating them is more than just a job. “Everybody has my cell phone number because they have to have someone they can call anytime,” he says. “I am their doctor. I am there for them. I am a family member.”

For more than 40 years, Monice has helped children in underserved communities, right here in Palm Beach County and in his home country of Haiti. “I love kids,” he adds. “It’s as simple as that. I love kids and I love working with them. Making them feel better is a very nice feeling.”

After graduating from medical school in Haiti, Monice completed his residency in New York and made his way to South Florida to start his own practice. “It turned into 28 years as a private practice with over 6,000 patients,” he says. “But…it’s become harder and harder for a solo doctor to survive.”

So Monice pivoted. In 2019, he joined the team at FoundCare, a nonprofit, federally qualified health center. He brought with him decades of experience, and he was delighted that his new role mirrored his personal mission to provide everyone with access to

quality health care. He now serves as the group’s pediatric medical director. “They have the same vision that I had [in my] private practice,” Monice says of FoundCare.

In addition to his work locally, Monice gives back to people in need in his native Haiti, traveling to his hometown several times a year to offer vaccines and health screenings. “We have a team that goes into different parts of the town or the countryside to host a health fair and examine people living there,” he says. “Everybody that you see, you make a difference in their life. That’s what it’s all about.”

With a smile on his face and a stethoscope around his neck, Monice believes that helping others is the greatest gift of his life. And, he says, he’ll continue to go wherever he’s needed, for as long as he’s able. “No matter what day of the week it is, I will be there serving the population. Letting them know we’re here for them is the main goal.” (foundcare.org) «

THE CATALYTIC PHILANTHROPIST ™

Audacious thinking brought the University of Florida to Jupiter, to seize the opportunity to further its mission to improve patient care for all. The catalyst between UF and The Scripps Research Institute in California was philanthropist Dr. Herbert Wertheim, who proposed the merger and worked behind the scenes to make it happen.

Then Dr. Wertheim went one step beyond.

He pledged $100 million toward UF’s new Palm Beach County campus, 100 acres spanning Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens. The gift keyed a $1 billion fundraising drive to take the newly named Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology to its place among the world’s greatest scientific institutions.

Dr. Wertheim is a humanitarian whose invention of an eyeglass tint to protect against ultraviolet light and his more than 100 patents in the field

of vision have enhanced eyesight and prevented blindness for millions. His gifts to universities throughout the nation have furthered his goals of education and research to prevent human disease. He helped UF turn his $50 million contribution to its Wertheim College of Engineering into $400 million, fully $150 million more than expected.

To recognize Dr. Wertheim and establish the first Herbert Wertheim Humanitarian Medal, the University of Florida will honor him at a medal ceremony on March 4. The medal is the most prestigious recognition bestowed by the university, awarded to dynamic and audacious leaders who foster innovation and positive change to help meet the world’s greatest challenges.

WHAT COULD BE LURKING IN YOUR CLEANING PRODUCTS AND PUTTING YOUR HEALTH IN JEOPARDY

BY IVEY LEIDY PHOTOGRAPHY BY NATHAN COE

For most of us, our homes are our sanctuaries, a space where we feel safest and most comfortable. We take pride in decorating and keeping them clean and tidy, but what we might not realize is that the typical home’s air quality may be up to five times more polluted than the air outdoors, according to studies conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Considering that the average American spends roughly 90 percent of their time inside, taking a good look at what affects our indoor air quality can have a huge impact on our health and well-being.

Ironically, what we use to clean our homes are often top culprits. Ever notice yourself holding your breath as you spray an oven or counter cleaner because it irritates your eyes

or causes headaches? It could be doing far more with chronic exposure. The chemicals commonly found in our cleaning products, detergents, and personal care items not only cause direct irritation, but they can also exacerbate allergies, asthma, reproductive and developmental issues, autoimmune diseases, neurological damage, and hormone disruption.

Furthermore, just because something claims to be natural, clean, green, or biodegradable does not mean it’s nontoxic. Many brands engage in “greenwashing,” the act of marketing something as environmentally sensitive without following through on those promises. Studies have shown that up to 95 percent of so-called “green” products contain toxic ingredients; this can happen because there’s a huge gray area in which manufacturers don’t have to disclose certain ingredients. For example, the term “fragrance” can cover a vast array of potentially harmful chemicals.

Read on to discover some of the top toxic ingredients and recipes for cleaner swaps.

TOP 10 OFFENDERS

Phthalates: Found in most “fragrances.” Instead opt for unscented, fragrance-free, or products scented with essential oils.

Ammonia: Found in glass cleaners, stainless-steel polish, floor cleaners, and cleaning sprays.

Chlorine: Found in bleach, toilet cleaners, and shower cleaners.

Sodium hydroxide: Found in oven and drain cleaners.

Perchloroethylene (PERC): Found in dry-cleaning products and stain removers.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Common sources include bleach, laundry and dishwashing detergents, disinfectant sprays, and paint.

Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): Used in nonstick cookware as well as Scotchgard.

Triclosan: Found in antibacterial soaps and detergents as well as toothpaste.

Quaternary ammonium compounds (Quats): Found in disinfectant wipes, sprays, sanitizers, and dryer sheets. For an alternative to dryer sheets, try wool dryer balls.

2-butoxyethanol: Found in allpurpose spray cleaners.

FANTASY DESERT

MORE THAN DREAMY INSTAGRAM FODDER, AMANGIRI IS THE PINNACLE OF ULTRA-LUXURY IN THE HEART OF THE AMERICAN WEST

BY PAUL RUBIO

It’s no secret that social media has fostered an alternate reality enhanced through stateof-the-art filters, artistic apps, and savvy influencers crafting aspirational content. Nothing is spared from excessive revision nowadays, including travel destinations and resorts. Yet among the virtual noise, it’s still possible to discover raw beauty in its purest form, something that equally wows on screen and off.

Such is the case at Amangiri, a remote retreat that’s set Instagram ablaze as a veritable architectural dreamscape ensconced among the red-rock bluffs, high-rising mesas, and striking canyons of the Utah-Arizona border. Using the 165-million-year-old Colorado Plateau—a weathered land painted by geology—as a blank canvas, Amangiri designers created an extraordinary space for appreciating the magic of the American West while becoming a part of it. At the same

time, the property delivers on all the ultra-luxe hallmarks synonymous with Aman Resorts—exclusivity, privacy, serenity, and excellence in gastronomy, wellness, and service—culminat

ing in quite possibly the top resort in the United States and a spot every bit worth the online hype.

After snaking through the desolate desert roads of northern Arizona to reach Canyon Point, Utah, a mirage of Amangiri begins to take shape. At clos

er approach, it’s clear this is no optical

illusion: A 34-suite modernist resort is at once delicately etched into the sandstone itself and thoughtfully strewn across vast acreage.

At Amangiri’s core lies a sprawling living and dining space, dotted with crackling fireplaces, edged by double-story windows, and linked to a heated swimming pool hewn into the rugged terrain. With its one-ofa-kind design, the pool surfaces as a peninsula framed by umbrella-capped daybeds on one side, chaise lounges and towering raw earth on the others. A series of suites can be found past both ends of the main pavilion, accessible through open-air concrete corridors embellished with almond trees, hydrotherapy features that mimic the erosion process, and seating nooks for taking in the ethereal scene. Each outward-facing suite is a study in understated elegance, where clean lines cross over natural timbers, white stone floors, and oversize glass panes, channeling attention to the desert panoramas that surround. A private outdoor

Clockwise from top left: At Amangiri, marvel at the pool etched into the surrounding sandstone, the high-design fitness center, the loungers among the desert terrain, the toasty wellness pavilion, and the dramatic views from the beds.

lounge and fireplace heightens the red rock immersion.

Amenities and programming capitalize on Amangiri’s location within the Navajo nation. The Aman Spa offers therapies rooted in the Navajo concept of hózhó , a state of being in tune with oneself and in balance with the world. Each evening, local artisan gifts are placed bedside, from dream catchers to handcrafted oakmoss and sage candles. Daily cultural encounters on-site may include Navajo storytelling, Native American hoop dancing, and dream catcher workshops, while seasonal menus at Amangiri Restaurant feature selections inspired by traditional dishes from the regional Native American communities. A recent Spirit of the Journey tasting menu included a Navajo blue corn fry bread popover, a mesquitesmoked duck salad, and a chili-rubbed crusted elk loin, complementing the greater menu’s pan-Asian and Southwestern fare.

Another highlight of Amangiri’s tribal association is exclusive access to select picturesque slot canyons within northern Arizona. Thanks to Peter Lik’s mind-blowing screensaver photos, the voluptuous and striated Antelope Canyon is now a bucket-list destination. But inch over to Rattlesnake Canyon and Owl Canyon and it’s possible to revel in the red rock glory without the crowds.

These neighboring labyrinths are reserved for Aman guests only, translating to deep thoughts, endless photo shoots, and ambles at your leisure. Back on property, other activities speak to Amangiri’s extra-special experiences. A Via Ferrata course—one of just a handful in the United States— means scaling mountainsides via cables and ladder rungs and crossing mountaintops over suspension bridges under the tutelage of a skilled mountain guru. A hot-air balloon ride provides a bird’seye view of the undulating, multihued desert backdrops, while horseback rides and designated foot trails offer closer looks on firm ground.

Throughout an Amangiri stay, the service feels elevated without being in -

trusive or dizzying. This extends to the guides, waitstaff, and an entire team dedicated to making your visit one for the books. The off-the-charts eclectic cuisine is bundled into the rate, meaning there’s no reason to head elsewhere for meals. And given the experiential nature of the activities and unparalleled location of the property, there’s every reason to leave the outside world behind and venture off-site only for guided encounters. Spend a few days at Amangiri, and it’s hard to believe the concept was envisioned and executed in a time

before social media. The backdrops are some of America’s finest, the architecture skews modern minimalist, and the experience is exactly what desert dreams—and top Instagram content—are made of. The pictures, videos, and curated content may dominate social media, but that doesn’t mean Amangiri is a contrived online fantasy. Rather, it’s a singular resort that has the goods and excellence to back up its high profile and deliver an American West adventure filled with defining moments in real time and in real life.

GRANDE ADVENTURE

Visiting Orlando with kids used to mean schlepping all around town to check every box: easy access to theme parks, a luxe hotel, fine dining, elevated poolside experiences, sporting activities, and all the aquatic adventures. With the recent completion of its new waterpark, Grande Lakes Orlando puts all that (and then some) in one resort destination.

The 500-acre Grande Lakes encompasses The Ritz-Carlton Orlando and JW Marriott Orlando, as well as golf, tennis, a 40,000-squarefoot spa, multiple pools with decked-out cabanas, and a dozen dining venues, including the Michelin-starred Knife & Spoon. But the

biggest attraction is the new Grande Lakes Waterpark with six zones of fun. Here you’ll find not only a water slide, but an entire slide tower with three slides ranging from mellow to rocketfast. Splash Cove offers activities in and out of the water, including the PlayVenture playground with climbing structures and lawn games. AquaVenture ratchets up the thrills with an obstacle course featuring balance beams, bridges, climbing, and slides. After a day of play, kids love to float down the Lazy River, while parents hang out on swim-up daybeds at the Sanctuary, an adults-only island within the waterpark.

It seems Grande Lakes has accomplished the impossible: making everyone in the family happy. (grandelakes.com) —Daphne Nikolopoulos

THE CROATIAN-MADE RIMAC NEVERA ALL-ELECTRIC HYPERCAR IS A FORCE LIKE NO OTHER

BY HOWARD WALKER

There’s a moment in pretty much every Star Trek episode when Captain Kirk calls on his trusty helmsman, Lieutenant Sulu, to engage warp speed. Then, in the blink of an eye, streaks of incandescent light tunnel ahead and there’s a surge of unrelenting forward momentum.

This is precisely the same sensation you get from standing on the accelerator of an

all-electric Rimac Nevera and feeling the insane 1,914-horsepower thrust. Only, add to it the mild discomfort of your eyeballs being squeezed back into their sockets and your internal organs compressing against your ribcage.

If you could get your fearless passenger to activate the stopwatch feature on your iPhone, you’d see that zero to 60 mph is 1.85 seconds. That’s quicker than a Formula One racecar. Keep your right foot planted and you’ll pass the 100-mph mark in 4.3 seconds. If you are feeling really brave, you’ll keep going until the speedo is showing 258 mph, the official top speed of this Croatian-built cruise missile, making it the world’s fastest production electric hypercar. At this point you must be thinking that this is some weird, one-off, thinly disguised racecar. Not so. Walk into your neighborhood Rimac showroom—there’s one in West Palm Beach and another in Naples—

write a check for roughly $2,450,000, and you could be experiencing the kind of adrenaline rush normally reserved for riders of Daytona Beach’s Vomatron. But don’t dally: Rimac is building just 150 Neveras with more than a third already sold.

Rimac is the creation of Croatian visionary Mate Rimac. From humble beginnings, the 35-year-old now supplies electric propulsion know-how to the likes of Aston Martin, Jaguar, Koenigsegg, Pininfarina, and Porsche, which owns 24 percent of the company. The millennial engineer is so cash-rich that last year he bought Bugatti from the Volkswagen Group.

The flagship of his fast-evolving brand is this astonishing Nevera electric hypercar, which I spent an equally astonishing morning piloting around West Palm. If you were driving along State Road 710 a few weeks back and saw a flash of white soaring by at hugely illegal speeds, that was me. Apologies.

For the Nevera, Rimac has designed, developed, and engineered everything in-house at

his campus on the outskirts of Zagreb, Croatia. That includes the I-beam-stiff carbon-fiber monococque body structure, 120-kWh battery pack, quartet of electric motors, and mind-numbingly complex software that runs it all.

Despite its amazing performance and technical wonderment, the Nevera was always intended to be an “everyday” hypercar you could drive to work or take to dinner—not that you’d want to hand the keys to the kid working the valet.

Pop the switch to open the high-lifting butterfly doors with their cutouts in the roof and then lower yourself into the hip-hugging bucket seat. The cabin is more functional than fancy, with acres of black carbon fiber everywhere. Instrumentation is minimal too, with the touch screen on the center console looking like something out of a Best Buy open-box sale. Three big rotary dials navigate the major controls, including the multitude of drive modes, gear selections,

and torque distribution settings.

As we slice through the cut and thrust of mid-morning traffic, I feel bursts of that outrageous 1,714 pound-feet of torque on the freeway on-ramp. But what is staggering here is how docile, smooth, refined, and, yes, relaxed the Nevera can feel. The steering is light and precise, the ride is positively Lexus-like, and

the one-pedal braking is a joy.

We ease onto 710 and an empty stretch of four-lane blacktop opens ahead. We slow to a walking pace, dial up Track mode, and then hit it. There, in an instant, is that Star Trek warp speed courtesy of nigh on 2,000 horsepower.

Every Nevera should come with a warning sticker on the dash: Remember to breathe. «

MYSTIC POWERBOATS’ SUPER-LUXE M5200 IS A 2,400-HORSEPOWER ROCKET SHIP

BY HOWARD WALKER

There’s fast and then there’s Mystic fast. The new Mystic M5200 waterborne cruise missile can top out at 80 mph, which results in roughly the same kind of watery eyes as peeling a dozen onions.

This exhilarating, heart-palpitating performance comes courtesy of the latest speed demon from DeLand, Florida–based Mystic Powerboats, a needle-nosed, 52-foot center console with a quartet of 600-horsepower Mercury Verado V12s hanging off the transom. If you’re counting, that’s 2,400 horseys in total.

This is Mystic’s biggest center console to date, and it joins the go-very-fast boatbuilder’s smaller M4200 and M3800 models. While the M5200 is built for speed, it’s also built for comfort. There’s more diamond-quilted, contrast-

stitch upholstery than in a Bentley Continental, as well as seating for 27, a cozy cabin for weekend jaunts, and more cupholders than in a Dodge Caravan. Yes, it makes for a great fishcatcher, but who’d want all that blood and guts messing up the faux-teak flooring?

Best seat—make that seats—in the house? That would be on the forward deck, where you’ll find three stretch-out loungers with armrests, headrests, footrests, and bolstered sides. A surprising omission? Seatbelts. At 80 mph across the Gulf Stream, you might need them.

Then there are all the seating options on the back deck, like the four rear-facing loungers and the four forward-facing seats on the other side. Throw in the three individual race-style pews behind the helm, along with two rows of

four seats behind those, and it’s about as much seating as you’ll find at an AMC multiplex.

While there’s no shortage of supersized, highhorsepower center consoles on the market— from HCB to Valhalla to Pursuit—what sets the Mystic apart is its very cool design. I love the wraparound windshield, and the swept-back, carbon-fiber hardtop seems to house more speakers than at an AC/DC concert.

The wave-piercing hull of the M5200 is an evolution of the proven M4200’s, featuring a foam core with infused epoxy and carbonfiber reinforcements. There are bank vaults less impenetrable. And powering the hull are four magical Verado V12 outboards, which, according to Mystic, can punch the 52 on to the plane from just 17 knots, helped by the Mercs’ two-

speed transmissions. If you’re so inclined, you could opt for Mercury 450R power, in combos of either four, five, or six. But with the V12s being so technically advanced and smoother than hot molasses, why would you?

Time to drop the hook and let the party begin. The aft cockpit can be spec’d with a grill, fridge, icemaker, and separate pullout cooler, while the entire rear deck can be shaded by a retractable awning. And if the only rock and roll you want is on the disco-grade stereo, there’s a Seakeeper 9 gyro stabilizer on the options list to stop the rock and roll at anchor.

While the cabin isn’t exactly generous in size for a 52-footer with a 14-foot beam, it’s plenty big enough for overnights and weekends. There’s the usual forward V-berth that converts into a double, plus a small rear cabin under the cockpit for a couple of kids. The cabin’s best feature may be its spacious head with a separate, full-headroom shower and a glass bowl sink. And at the touch of a button, you can activate the kind of air-conditioning

that would give polar bears the shivers.

After taking a walk-through of the M5200 at the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, where it was making its global debut, I found the boat’s most impressive asset to be its peerless quality. The glass-fiber gel coat, the panel fit and finish, and the stitching on the upholstery are all remarkable—which they should be for Mystic’s $2.7 million nicely loaded asking price. But to be fair, you simply cannot put a price on pulling up to your favorite waterside eatery in this supercar of the seas. «

Palm Beach DANDIES

OUR 2023 MEN OF STYLE STAND OUT FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS

BY MICHELE MEYER

RICK ROSE | The Mixmaster

You can take the man out of Palm Beach, but you can’t take Palm Beach out of the man. So says Rick Rose, who spent much of two decades in sales and marketing at European hotel groups. “Travel broadened my taste,” he says. “But I’ve always been open to the brighter colors of home.” After returning in 2004, Rose co-owned and operated Grandview Gardens Bed & Breakfast in West Palm Beach for 16 years and now co-owns and runs Palm Beach Vacation Rentals. Vexed when European guests would confuse his hometown with Palm Springs, California, Rose began hosting walking tours of the island. Within his role as the historian of the Worth Avenue Association, he leads these tours every Wednesday from December through April, with proceeds benefiting charity. Rose is also the author of Palm Beach: The Essential Guide to America’s Legendary Resort Town and is on the board of directors of Discover the Palm Beaches.

Personal style: Preppy in a Palm Beach palette Prince of prints: People may remember me for floral or bold patterns, but my favorites are stripes and windowpane plaids. I’ll never mix more than two. I’ll wear solids in a print’s dominant color. Clothing that’s art: My ikat-printed silk-cotton blazer from CJ Laing. They rarely make men’s jackets, and no two are alike. Best in shoe: I love Stubbs & Wootton loafers. I only wear tennis shoes to work out. Shopping haunts: Tiziano Zorzan for Italian fabrics and Peter Millar for luxe sportswear in bold prints. I also shop at Brooks Brothers. Go-to pieces: I design my outfit around the jacket. I add a bow tie, a matching pocket square, and skinny jeans. Celebrity closet he’d raid: George Clooney, who has impeccable taste in clothing. He mixes and matches high-quality jackets with jeans, like I do. Rule to break: You don’t need dress slacks with a fabulous jacket. Can never have too many: Bow ties and jackets If price were no object: I’d have all my jackets custom made at Maus & Hoffman. Never caught dead in: Bomber shorts, tank tops, or flip-flops. Palm Beach’s keen style sense should be preserved. Cancel this trend: Pajama shirts under jackets. They wreck the line. Fashion’s next big moment for men: I’m not cutting-edge enough to know, but it’ll come from somebody young and skinny like Timothée Chalamet. Sartorial secret: Tailoring alone can make a $250 jacket look like $1,000.

JAY HARTINGTON The Classicist

As the only child of Marissa Collections founders Marissa and Burt Hartington, Jay Hartington learned to look sharp in exquisitely made clothing at an early age. “Our family joked that the store was my sister,” says Hartington, now CEO of the family business. “Fashion was our breakfast, lunch, and dinner.” Even while he worked as an investment banker before joining Marissa Collections in 2008, he stayed true to his stylish roots. “I leveraged my mom’s relationships to have nicer suits than my peers,” he shares. Now, he’s all in on fashion, which he describes as his industry and his pleasure. Under his guidance, the store’s original location in Naples grew to include fine jewelry. In 2021, Hartington opened the brand’s Palm Beach boutique in The Royal Poinciana Plaza. His sartorial advice? Know thyself, but be a little adventurous.

Personal style: Cool, calm, collected, and always with a tailored touch Labels he loves: Orlebar Brown, Eleventy Milano, YSL, and my tailor (top secret) Celebrity closet he’d raid: David Beckham. From suits to streetwear, he’s always impeccably dressed. Do you know who his tailor is? Go-to looks: A well-fitted T-shirt with a jacket and jeans at Dolphins games, a cashmere tux for formal, and a Navajo inlaid mosaic belt when out West. Biggest fashion fail: I recently bought a white terry cloth Orlebar Brown blazer. Within five minutes it was dirty. Can never have too many: Pocket squares and sunglasses On his wrist: A watch and Le Gramme, Shamballa, FoundRae, and Todd Reed bracelets. I never take mine off, even when playing tennis. They have the best cost-to-wear ratio. Sentimental treasures: My grandfather’s lapis cufflinks and a midnight navy Brunello Cucinelli shawl collar cashmere tux

Double- or single-breasted: Single and one-anda-half breast. No to double. Ties—bow, straight, or none: All of the above. Your tie needs to reflect the lapel of your blazer. Lately I’m into bigger, bolder bow ties when wearing a tux. If price were no object: I’d own more rare watches by Rolex and Patek Philippe. Also, a Paraiba tourmaline, just to have. It’s the Caribbean water in a gemstone. Lost count: Loafers and sophisticated sneakers Fashion’s next big moment for men: People are dressing up more, and I love it.

MISH TWORKOWSKI The Creative

Even while growing up around New York, Mish Tworkowski wore “bright, beautiful colors as if I was destined to live in Palm Beach.” The former International Best Dressed List honoree’s love of custom suits grew at Sotheby’s in New York and London, where he worked in decorative arts, collectibles, coins, and jewelry, among other departments. “If you love clothes, you want every moment to be special,” he says. In 2021, Tworkowski and his husband, Joseph Singer, relocated their jewelry company, Mish Fine Jewelry, to Palm Beach. “It’s such a beautiful place to design,” says Tworkowski, co-chair of this month’s Dinner Dance for the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach along with Pauline Pitt. “I’m inspired by the gorgeous flowers.” A gardening enthusiast himself, he describes his personal style as colorful, full of florals, and featuring a playful mix of patterns.

Fashion vs. style: Anyone can be fashionable by buying the full outfit. A stylish person combines disparate things and looks fantastic. Labels he loves: Junya Watanabe, Lanvin, and vintage Lilly Pulitzer Clothing that’s art: My hand-stitched Kapital shirts are casual couture. Go-to pieces: My daytime uniform is colored Tom Ford jeans, a floral dress shirt, and a fun blazer. Biggest fashion risk that worked: I’ve worn a Craig Green kimono instead of a tux jacket. But I’d never wear a kilt or two pearl necklaces. I’m not that bold. Never caught dead in: Black, beyond tuxedos. I prefer a pop of color. Just one: I always wear the same belt buckle that Singer made for me. Tie one on: Bow ties. I don’t even own a long one. Wardrobe builder: I start with a great jacket I haven’t worn in a while. Best in shoe: I love Brogue tie shoes by Tom Ford and Alden, and I have a big Adidas Superstar collection. Lost count: I have a few hundred jackets. I get sentimental about clothing, so I don’t purge. Cancel this trend: Ripped jeans have gotten out of hand. So have flip-flops,

which belong at the beach or gym. Baseball caps belong at sporting events. Worthwhile splurge: Custom-made clothing is one of the greatest gifts to yourself. It fits perfectly and you can pick your fabric. I have a Hawaiian-print button-down shirt you’d never find on store racks.

NICK HISSOM The Chameleon

In his young life, Nick Hissom has had many careers— each with its own wardrobe. Yet common threads run through the garb of the model-turned-music-artistturned-gallerist. “I prioritize the way fabric is cut and falls,” says 30-year-old Hissom, the son of Andrea Hissom Wynn and stepson of art collector and real estate magnate Steve Wynn. “That makes or breaks an outfit.” He signed to Ford Models at 17 and worked as a model throughout his early 20s. He eventually pivoted toward singing and songwriting, signing with Sony and Sony ATV and working with manager Larry Rudolph and producer Steve Morales. When COVID hit, he decided to pursue another professional avenue and opened Aktion Art with his life partner, Kameron Ramirez. At their Palm Beach gallery, the duo has adopted a daytime uniform of black slacks—Hissom’s often by Loro Piana or Ralph Lauren—with white cotton T-shirts. For galas and gallery fetes, Hissom ups the glamour factor, opting for pale pink, lavender, or baby blue double-breasted suits custom made by brands such as Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Brioni, and David August.

Most important accessory: Confidence On his lapel and wrist: Bespoke evening brooches by Mindy Lam and collector’s edition watches by Rolex Celebrity closet he’d raid: Harry Styles. He’s very out there. I love everything he wears. Street vs. discrete: It depends on the mood, time, and place. My day-today in Palm Beach is subtle luxury. But in New York and Paris, I take risks, which may include flashier branding and edgier silhouettes. I’ll wear Balmain sneakers with Diesel leather jackets and pants. Fashion’s next big moment: Gen Z Gothic x ’90s Style mentors: Lana Winters, founder and president of modeling agency VNY, which I recently signed to. She’s a friend and imagemaker who’s helping me in my next phase of branding. I also learned from my stepdad the value of top-quality tailoring. Can never have too many: I’ve got 20 pairs of white sneakers by Balmain, Dior, Alexander McQueen, Nike, Adidas, and Golden Goose. I like a crisp aesthetic. If price were no object: I’d buy everything at Graff. Biggest risk: I wore a one-of-a-kind leather and mink Brioni coat—no shirt—to the Grammys in 2019. I’d wear daring stuff for red carpets. I wore gender-neutral clothes 10 years ago when it was less common. I’m proud I ran with it. «

WHEN AN INTERIOR DESIGNER AND A REAL ESTATE PRO FALL IN LOVE AND JOIN FORCES, THE RESULT IS A POSH PALM BEACH HIDEAWAY WITH PLENTY OF PERSONALITY

By MICHELE MEYER

Portrait photography by CARRIE BRADBURN/CAPEHART

Architectural photography by CARMEL BRANTLEY

Inset: The residence exudes a Palm Springs–meets–Palm Beach vibe.

Opposite page: Mitch Brown (standing) and Rick Moeser at home in Palm Beach with their miniature Schnauzer rescue, Mr. Fitz Herbert

ne might expect real estate exec Rick Moeser’s dream home to be sprawling and grandiose. After all, he participated in the sale of the Miami palace of fashion’s Gianni Versace and the Kluge Estate on Palm Beach. But the CEO of business development at Douglas Elliman Real Estate followed his heart—and realty savvy—to a Palm Beach condo building that was “neglected and undervalued,” yet in the perfect location right off the beach and Worth Avenue.

“The building was in town and walking distance from friends, favorite restaurants, my office, my gym, and the beach,” says Moeser, who, in 2007 bought and merged the two ground-floor units totaling 1,100 square feet. “I saw the potential for a little TLC to upgrade it into an A-plus property.”

That task became easier when he met interior designer David Mitchell “Mitch” Brown eight months later at the Young Friends of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County’s annual Evening on Antique Row fundraiser.

“We were complaining about the wine,” Moeser recalls. “Mitch disappeared and returned from a store with Veuve Clicquot Champagne bottles for each of us. I thought, ‘He knows how to fix a problem and make it fun.’ The servers looked at us like ‘Who are these rock stars with the good stuff?’ And we’ve been together since.”

When they fell in love, Brown was equally besotted by the condo’s potential. “The location is so lovely,” he says. “With a little exterior work, it went from a sad little building to a jewel box.”

The couple married on May 30, 2015, forming a great team both personally and professionally. Moeser, who previously lived in Colorado, New York City, and Massachusetts, worked for Christie’s International Real Estate and Sotheby’s International Realty in both the real estate and art divisions. Before launching his eponymous business, Kansas-born Brown worked with L.A.’s Michael Taylor Designs and other top firms. Now they cater to Palm Beach’s high-end market.

“Our occupations complement each other,” Moeser says. “His interior design clients become my clients and vice versa.”

Having outgrown their compact quarters, they snapped up a 700-square-foot unit upstairs in early 2020. They stayed in a nearby apartment while gutting both floors down to the exterior walls and windows. With that blank canvas, Brown created their ideal home, which could also double as a showroom for his potential clients.

Known for maximizing space, Brown obsessively studied floor plans and plotted every inch on paper. “You cannot see the full spectrum of possibilities until you do that,” he says. “It’s like sophisticated

math: very difficult to solve in your head, but once you put it on paper, it starts to make sense.”

By converting the upstairs into their primary bedroom, bath, and closet, they were able to expand the kitchen downstairs to four times its original size and replace a rear wall with 10 feet of sliding glass pocket doors that open to the back garden. Changes also included all-new plumbing, wiring, floors, and ceilings—and months of chaos.

“Mitch is okay with destroying a space because he knows it will be beautiful in the end,” says Moeser. “I’m a perfectionist and incredibly impatient. I couldn’t get beyond the mess.”

“Only one can be the decorator in a relationship, and it made sense for me to take the reins,” adds Brown, whose taste is more adventurous than his classicist husband.

“Mitch is daring in putting colors, patterns, and textures together,” Moeser says. “Sometimes I thought, ‘That will never work.’ But it did. Mitch was deadon right.”

While each room has its own personality and energy level, all thematically flow together. Potent pops of curry yellow and lime stand out, while palm leaf prints covering powder room walls repeat on living room pillows.

“If you’re on the beach, your home should have a beachy feel,” Brown notes. “I wanted people to smile and feel like they’re on vacation.”

A common thread is the sleek modernity the duo loves. Graphic African and Asian accents and tribal textiles appear across the home, “their strong shapes lending themselves beautifully to modern design,” says Brown.

One African symbol he identifies with are rhinoceroses. “Coming from Kansas I had to be tough as nails to make it in this business,” shares Brown, who collects rhino figures. “Rhinoceroses are beautiful survivors with a tough, textured hide. They suit my personality and design aesthetic.”

Brown also painted several artworks, including one of a dancing woman that now hangs above the media room’s sectional sofa. “She’s inspired by Wallis Simpson [for whom King Edward VIII abdicated the British throne]. I like to think she’s dancing in Palm Beach.”

To balance the boldness of the home’s Palm Springs–meets–Palm Beach vibe, Brown skewed a bit demurer for certain details. Curtain tracks are hidden in ceilings, and doorframe casings and hinges aren’t visible. Walls are either

white with 18-inch baseboards or faux Macassar ebony with silver-leafed and recessed baseboards. “I love surprises in every room,” shares Brown, who placed a John Dickinson side table with lion’s paw feet in the living room and covered custom furniture with richly textured fabrics by Jim Thompson, Pierre Frey, and Coraggio.

“The upholstery is so much thicker than store-bought furniture,” Moeser says. “Never one to miss a detail, Mitch considers how rugs feel plush for bare feet.”

An exception is the durable, stain-hiding, vintage Missoni carpet on the stairs, which suits their miniature Schnauzer rescue, Mr. Fitz Herbert. The stairwell banister is clear glass to let in natural light—which was lacking in the living room due to west-facing windows. To fix this, Brown lacquered the opposing fireplace wall to reflect the light. A trip to St.-Tropez inspired its coral shade.

The lacquering took 12 layers and two weeks to accomplish. Each coat had to fully dry and be sanded before the next could be added—and it was worth it. “You want to click your nails on it because it looks like the surface of a car,” Moeser says. “This is a very tactile home. You want to touch everything.”

In the quadruple-size kitchen, an otherwise all-white palette is spiced with curry-colored cabinets, creating the effect of abstract paintings by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. A raised island with Carrara marble counters allows Brown to spread his fabrics and floor plans when he works from

home. The pair often eats there and uses it for charcuterie boards and hors d’oeuvres when they have guests.

“We like to socialize, and the kitchen is where everyone ends up,” says Moeser, who’s known for his pappardelle Bolognese and whole roasted chicken, a Sunday mainstay.

Since their primary bedroom is now upstairs, Brown converted the couple’s former bedroom into an office/guest room and another downstairs bedroom into a sunny media room. Their secondfloor sanctuary is a cocoon of calm, featuring soft earthy tones and shades of sand, beige, shell, and celadon—the last being one of Moeser’s favorite colors—that appear in terrazzo pebble–patterned wallpaper from Holly Hunt. When the curtains are closed, you’re enveloped in wool gabardine draperies from Coraggio and wall-towall carpet.

“You feel like the room is hugging you,” Moeser says. “It’s a soothing place to sleep and relax that blocks out the world.”

The custom striped glass wall between the bedroom and walk-in closet is a work of art in and of itself; it is just one example of how Brown made the home feel expansive, despite measuring 1,800 square feet. And while they completed the renovations in November 2020, Brown continues to edit.

“It never stops changing, which is fun for me,” Moeser says. “I’ll return from a business trip and see something new. He likes to surprise me and see if I notice on my own. It’s so charming.” «

“THE LOCATION IS SO LOVELY. WITH A LITTLE EXTERIOR WORK, IT WENT FROM A SAD LITTLE BUILDING TO A JEWEL BOX.”

Hinckley Yachts Picnic 40 S SilentJet

What happens when you combine Down East lobster boat lines with the latest in hybrid diesel-electric power? You get Hinckley Yachts’ brand-new Picnic 40 S SilentJet.

This built-in-Rhode-Island knockout features two beefy 90-kW electric motors juiced by an 80-kWh battery to ease you out of your slip in stealthy silence. Then this oh-so-elegant 40-footer will cruise along at 7 knots for an hour and 5.5 knots for 90 minutes.

When the battery gets low—or you simply need to get somewhere in a hurry—the Hinckley’s twin 550-horsepower Cummins turbo-diesels will kick in and punch you to a 35-knot cruising speed.

And while the diesels are purring, they’re also topping up the battery. In just 30 to 45 minutes, they’re back to being fully charged, allowing you to run all the systems (including the air-conditioning) at anchor with no need for a generator. Watts not to love? (hinckleyyachts.com)

Viking Yachts 64 Convertible

If you want to strike fear into the biggest fighting marlin or tuna in the deep blue sea, you want a Viking. Based in New Gretna, New Jersey, this familyowned builder has been turning out state-of-the-art fishing battlewagons for more than half a century.

Viking’s latest—and perhaps greatest—big-game fishing machine is the 64 Convertible, a hard-charging, wave-smashing 64-footer packing more than 4,000 horsepower of V12 MTU muscle.

Evolved from the super-successful 54 Convertible, this new 64 saw a major redesign of its hull and deck, which now has the strength and rigidity of a Wells Fargo bank vault. Forty knots into gnarly seas? Not a problem.

But the added appeal of the 64 is that it combines hedonistic levels of luxury and comfort for when the rods are stowed and the margaritas get mixed. There’s even the option of an enclosed, fully air-conditioned flybridge, as well as air-conditioning in the cockpit and a 50-inch pop-up HD TV in the leather-lined salon. (vikingyachts.com)

Huckins Sportsman 38

While the original Huckins Sportsman eased out of production decades ago, a new consumer appreciation for authenticity and retro style prompted the Huckins family to create an updated version of the original Sportsman 36—and make it a hybrid. While the unmistakable lines are largely unchanged, everything else is brand new. Now, instead of trusty timber, the Sportsman 38 uses the very latest in marine construction materials, including Kevlar, carbon fiber, and impact-resistant structural foam.

In place of the original gas motor, there’s a pair of beefy 380-horse Cummins inline-6 turbo diesels, together with a high-torque 20-hp Elco electric motor juiced by a bank of 18 lithium-iron-phosphate batteries. Engage the electric motor and the Sportsman will glide along at 7 knots for a couple of hours. Fire up the diesels and you can run at 35 knots.

She also commissioned lots of cushions emblazoned with her husband’s iconic 99.

Westport W112

For any well-heeled captain of industry contemplating purchasing a superyacht around the 100-foot mark, there’s one name that shoots to the top of the list: Westport.

This Port Angeles, Washington, yard has been around since 1965, building salty commercial craft and passenger ferries. In the mid-1980s, it expanded its lineup to include luxury motor yachts.

The most successful in Westport’s constantly growing catalog is the W112 series. Since its debut in 1994, more than 65 of these classy 112-footers have been built, making it arguably the most successful superyacht ever.

What’s the appeal? Timeless elegance is part of it; Westport shirks the current trend of overexaggerated, origami-folded yacht design. The 112 is also the perfect size—not too big, not too small—with cabins for eight guests and space for a crew of five.

She’s also fast. Two 1,900-hp Caterpillar diesels can give an impressive 26-knot top speed. Add to that a composite fiberglass hull that’s acclaimed for its smooth, super-stable ride, and you have a vessel that’s more than worth its multimillion-dollar price tag. (westportyachts.com)

Cigarette Racing 59 Tirranna

There’s poetry in motion when a Cigarette Racing 59 Tirranna—propelled by a sextet of supercharged 4.6-liter Mercury Racing V8 outboards packing a combined 2,700 hp—is shrieking across the water at 80 mph. Eyeballs water, cheeks flap, follicles get wrenched from your scalp. Call that fun? You bet.

The Tirranna will get you there in less than an hour.

Yet it’s also packed with creature comforts, like a 29-speaker 5,200-watt JL Audio sound system and Poltrona Frau leather upholstery. Below deck there’s a forward settee that converts to a queen bed, plus a spacious shower and head. In the cockpit and open foredeck there’s seating for up to 28 of your closest friends.

If all this sounds appealing, expect to write a check for around $3 million. But when it comes to zipping to the Bahamas for lunch at 80 mph, the Tirranna is priceless. (cigaretteracing.com)

Nothing captures the essence of American beauty on the water more than a Chris-Craft. The now-Sarasota-based company has been around since 1874, when Christopher Columbus Smith, aka Mr. Chris-Craft, built his first wooden boat at age 13.

These days, the company is part of another American icon, Winnebago Industries, and builds a lineup of center-console and bowrider models in the 24-foot to 35-foot range. Each one combines high style, quality, and craftsmanship with surprising value for the money.

Our current favorite is the flagship of the fleet, the new Launch 35 GT. In addition to masses of stretch-out seating, this family-friendly 35-footer comes with all those lovely Chris-Craft cues, such as teak flooring, diamond-quilted upholstery, and a stainless-steel-framed windshield.

Take your pick from twin Mercury or Volvo V8 gas engines with stern drives. Or triple 300- or 350-hp Mercury Verado outboards, each with the option of easy-parking joystick control.

We’re sure Chris Smith would be proud. (chriscraft.com)

Burger Boat Company SYCARA IV

Manitowoc, Wisconsin, seems an unlikely place to base a company that specializes in cutting-edge superyachts. But the Burger Boat Company has been crafting world-class vessels here since 1863. Among the hundreds of award-winning yachts the yard has turned out over the years, one of the true standouts is the 151-foot Sycara IV, designed to capture the style and splendor of the 1920s Golden Age. Built for East Coast car dealer extraordinaire Ray Catena, she features a gorgeous fantail stern, gold-leaf-encrusted bowsprit, and a sleek superstructure that enables her to squeeze under the low bridges of New York’s Erie Canal.

Delta Marine INVICTUS Sabre Yachts

Seattle-based Delta Marine dates back to 1967, when brothers Ivor and Jack Jones began building fiberglass fishing boats. Today, the Jones family still owns and operates the company, which is renowned for the graceful, state-of-the-art superyachts it designs and builds.

Yachts like the ravishing 216-foot Invictus that premiered in 2013 and is a firm favorite within the luxury charter market, cruising the Mediterranean in the summer and the Bahamas and Caribbean in the winter.

Featuring a rugged steel hull and lightweight composite superstructure, the yacht is cavernous inside and out, courtesy of a beam that stretches more than 43 feet. Below decks it’s big enough to accommodate 20 guests across nine staterooms.

Powered by a pair of 2,280-horsepower Caterpillar diesels, she has a top speed of 16 knots and carries enough fuel to cover 5,000 nautical miles at 13 knots.

Delta’s craftsmanship is seen in the top-notch construction and stunning interior fixtures and fittings. Our favorite spots aboard are the Rat Pack–style bar and sky lounge that converts into a nightclub worthy of Paris.

If you’re in the market, she could be yours for a cool $100 million through brokers Burgess. (deltamarine.com)

58 Salon Express

If there’s such a thing as a Bentley Continental for the seas, a leading candidate would be the Maine-built Sabre Yachts 58 Salon Express. With its gracious proportions and single-minded focus on quality and craftsmanship, the Sabre 58 oozes luxury from every pore of its satinvarnished woodwork.

The 58 is part of a five-model lineup of Sabre Salon Express fast cruisers that includes a 38, 43, 45, and 48. Add to these a 48 Fly Bridge and top-of-the-line 66 Dirigo flagship.

But the $2.5 million 58 has everything the cruising family could dream of. Below decks, there’s a full-beam master cabin, a forward VIP, and a twin-berth guest cabin to starboard, each with its own en-suite head and shower. Up in the salon, there’s a spacious galley, oversize sofas, and a well-equipped helm station with seating for four.

Power comes from space-saving Volvo Penta IPS950 pods each packing 725 hp and good for more than 30 knots flat out. And just like that Bentley, this Sabre delivers its horsepower in serene silence. (sabreyachts.com) «

BALLENISLES COUNTRY CLUB

Recognizing its legendary appeal, BallenIsles tapped the acclaimed Nicklaus Design team to refresh the East Course and bring it back to its former glory. With the renovation now complete, all three of the club’s courses have received state-of-the-art updates by legendary designers, Rees Jones (South) and Kipp Schulties (North) within the last decade. The practice grounds will soon become the premier destination within BallenIsles for fun, practice and golf instruction, and custom fittings with the opening of a newly constructed ’71 Golf Learning Center.

Renowned for its superb level of service the redesigned 115,000-squarefoot Grand Clubhouse features multiple dining venues, a nationally recognized golf shop, expansive card rooms, multiple bars and socializing space all

anchored by the outdoor Grand Terrace overlooking the famed 18th hole of the East Course. The Club amenities also include a 65,000-square-foot Sports Complex where health and wellness are the spotlight with a nationally ranked racquets program housing a 21-court tennis and 9-court pickleball center, dining, spa, and salon, renovated fitness center, Pilates studio, and two group exercise studios. The Club just passed an upcoming renovation of the complex that will add a new arts center, racquets shop, dedicated family activity center, and an all-new aquatic center and outdoor entertainment area.

THE CLUB AT IBIS

Every day, The Club at Ibis offers championship golf on one of three Nicklaus family-designed courses, plus exceptional racquet sports, aquatics, fitness, and endless opportunities to engage with family and friends. Top-tier golf and tennis programs are headed by world-class instruction from Martin Hall, host of Golf Channel’s popular series, School of Golf, and on the tennis courts, former Davis Cup player and Olympic coach, Jay Berger.

The social scene at Ibis is just as impressive as the sports. Members participate in acting workshops, perform in musicals, take art classes, play cards, showcase their photography, and sharpen their cooking skills.

THE CLUB AT QUAIL RIDGE

With its 50th anniversary just around the corner, The Club at Quail Ridge’s membership overwhelmingly approved a $21.45 million master plan project that includes a fully renovated North Course and practice facilities, a new South Turn House, a new tennis pavilion, and a redesigned south entrance and guard house.

The latest project comes on the heels of other significant investments. In 2019, a $10 million capital project included a complete redesign of the South Course and a remodeled and expanded spa and fitness center.

Rogers says, “This course is new and exciting with plenty of new challenges and nuanced shots. What I like about the completed work is that players can get around and have fun on this course, but it is also very adaptive and will be challenging to advanced players. That was the goal, after all.”

The Polo Club of Boca Raton is a Platinum Club of America, a Distinguished Club, and recognized as one of America’s Healthiest Clubs. We welcome you to visit our Club and learn more about our membership opportunities. For a private tour, please call our membership department.

TWO TO TRY

READY TO ROAST

BY MARY MURRAY

PUMPHOUSE COFFEE ROASTERS

When Alex Le Clainche first looked at a warehouse outside downtown West Palm Beach, he had visions of turning it into a CrossFit gym. But now, more than a decade later, it is the new home of Pumphouse Coffee Roasters, which Le Clainche founded in April 2016 with his brother, Christian. Known as the Pouratorium, the 8,000-square-foot space boasts a retail and café area, a roasting facility, and a lab for training, tastings, education, and special events.

“This was always the dream,” Le Clainche says of the Pouratorium. “I just had anticipated instead of going into year seven, it would probably happen around year 14. That’s been a byproduct of a lot of hard work, a lot of sleepless nights.”

The Le Clainches use a modernized 90kilo German Probat roaster built in 1964, plus a 12-kilo Probat that came out of their parents’ garage. They roast for wholesale partners across the county and for their own cafés; in addition to the Pouratorium, they have a stand in Grandview Public Market and are inside Cones & Coffee in Jupiter.

“Everything that we’re putting on bar is roasted weekly,” says Le Clainche. “We try to give the coffee a little bit of resting time.”

They offer single-origin coffees from Central and South America, East Africa, and Indonesia, as well as five proprietary blends. Patrons at the Pouratorium can also purchase pastries (made fresh daily by Aioli) and bites like burritos, tacos, toasts, and a churro-dusted Belgian waffle. Most of the dishes are rooted in family recipes, underscoring the homegrown nature and community values at the heart of Pumphouse.

ROASTING PLANT COFFEE

Inside The Fresh Market in Palm Beach Gardens awaits an innovative coffee experience where the roasting happens before your eyes. Based in New York City, the Roasting Plant Coffee company has pioneered a system known as the Javabot, which roasts micro batches of beans and brews coffee to order.

“It’s like an air popcorn popper on steroids,” says Michael Johnson, The Fresh Market’s director of special projects.

A former industrial engineer and Starbucks executive, Roasting Plant Coffee founder Mike Caswell developed the Javabot inside his garage in Fort Lauderdale 16 years ago. A trained wine sommelier, Genevieve Kappler sources beans for the company, prioritizing farms with strong social and ecological practices. Johnson explains that while most coffee shops need to have a roastmaster on site because the process is so nuanced, Kappler calibrates the Javabot to follow roasting settings for each bean; it can also account for changes in humidity and temperature to ensure consistent roasts.

At The Fresh Market in the Gardens, customers can watch as nine single-origin beans and five blends are roasted. They can pull whole beans to take home or savor any of them as a pour-over-style coffee or within an espresso beverage at the adjacent coffee stand. The store also hosts free weekly coffee tastings on Saturdays or Sundays, giving the public the opportunity to discover their next favorite bean.

UP IN SMOKE

A taste of Texas has arrived in Palm Beach Gardens. In November, Tommy Nevill opened Nevs Barbecue, offering locals slow-cooked meats as well as homemade sides and sauces inspired by the country’s top barbecue destinations.

“It’s been a dream of mine for 15 years to open my own barbecue restaurant,” says Nevill, a native Floridian who cut his teeth in Texas’ steak house world, including working for III Forks for 15 years. While living in Texas, he also ran his own barbecue catering business, honing his recipes for his eventual dream venture.

He describes the food at Nevs Barbecue as chef-inspired, with brisket, pork, sausage, and

chicken available as a sandwich, on a salad, or as a platter with cornbread and a side. “We’re a full-scratch kitchen,” he explains. “All the recipes are mine, from the dressings to the coleslaw to the house-made pickles.”

The star of the operation is a custom-built Oyler smoker by J&R Manufacturing out of Texas. As Nevill notes, the rotisserie-style smoker can handle 1,200 pounds of meat at a time and is cranking 24 hours a day. He utilizes post oak wood and keeps his rubs simple, opting for just salt and pepper to “let the meat speak for itself.” (nevsbarbecue.com) —M.M.

PAIRINGS

IN GOOD HANDS

The Japanese term “omakase” translates to “I leave it up to you,” and it’s a culinary experience that has soared in popularity in recent years.

At Taki Omakase in Delray Beach and Boca Raton, patrons dine at a 12-seat counter and allow the chefs to determine their order, resulting in multicourse meals of sushi, nigiri, Wagyu, and other delights. “Taki selects the freshest ingredients directly from the Toyosu Fish Market in Tokyo to ensure the highest quality,” says manager Chloe Stunda. “Professional chefs craft delicious courses for each diner, guiding their palate through the rich flavors of Japan.” Taki employees also pair the dishes with Japanese sake, beer, and continental wine. Here, Stunda spotlights a few unique sake pairings. (takiomakase.com) —M.M.

The Dish: A5 Wagyu with shaved foie gras and truffle purée

The Sake: Dassai 23 Junmai Daiginjo

Behind the Pairing: Taki utilizes a traditional ishiyaki stone grill to prepare its A5 Wagyu. “The world’s rarest beef deserves to be treated with care, and the flavor will prove that this method yields the best results,” says Stunda. The Dassai 23 Junmai Daiginjo, she adds, “has a balance of lightness and acidity, complementing the rich flavors of the Wagyu.”

The Dish: Binchotan-seared otoro topped with caviar

The Sake: Kubota Manju Junmai

Daiginjo

Behind the Pairing: “Otoro is the fattiest, most sought-after piece of bluefin tuna,” Stunda explains. “This delicacy is cooked with care, seared by a binchotan, petrified Ubame oak tree charcoal. This traditional method dates back to the Edo period and holds a rich flavor that is impossible to replicate. Binchotan searing otoro releases natural oils in the fish, creating the most blissful ‘melt in your mouth’ sensation.” For the pairing, she recommends Kubota Manju Junmai Daiginjo for its clean, crisp profile that works well with the natural oils of the otoro

The Dish: Masunosuke (king salmon) with truffle pearls

The Sake: Kikuhime Daiginjo Genshu

“Chrysanthemum Princess”

Behind the Pairing: Stunda notes that masunosuke is a fan favorite at Taki, describing the marriage of king salmon and truffle as the ultimate flavor combination.

“Kikuhime Daiginjo Genshu ‘Chrysanthemum Princess’ sake is a divine match for the salmon nigiri piece,” she adds. “This sake brightens and enhances the rich umami flavors in this course.”

SOARING into March

THIS MONTH PROMISES NEW BEGINNINGS AND CELEBRATIONS

BY JULES ARON

Whether you’re honoring women’s rights and achievements on International Women’s Day, observing the beginning of spring, or celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, you’ll have no shortage of opportunities to toast in March. Enter the Pineapple Express. A playful riff on the Jungle Bird—a tropical negroni that debuted in the 1970s—this version is as light and vibrant as the month itself. By blending a decidedly botanical rum with juicy pineapple, a bright aperitivo , and a touch of (green!) aromatic basil, a new bird takes fl ight.

Pineapple Express Ingredients

1 1/2 oz. Pa’lante Botanical Rum

3/4 oz. Cocchi Americano Bianco

1/2 oz. fresh lime juice

1/2 oz. agave syrup

1 1/2 oz. basil and pineapple juice (recipe below)

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with crushed ice.

Basil and Pineapple Juice Ingredients (makes 1 cup)

1/3 pineapple, peeled, cut, and heart removed

1 small bunch basil

Add all ingredients to a juicer or blender and juice/blend before straining.

FROM CITY TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

DESIGN

FLUENT IN SPANISH

Designer Olga Adler of Olga Adler Interiors adopted a California state of mind for this historic 1925 home in Delray Beach. Inspired by SoCal’s classic Spanish Mission homes, Adler imparted an airy, bright, and minimal vibe in the dining room. Dark window and doorframes offset the wide plank French white oak flooring, a play on light and dark that continues with Adler’s selection of furniture and finishes, including the striking black-and-white chandelier over the dining table.

“Symmetry plays an important role in this space, evident especially

in the way the vintage Portuguese-style console tables flank the Moorish-style fireplace, which is topped with an African beaded warrior shield,” says Adler.

The fireplace proved to be both a challenge and an asset. “I went in circles about the design of the fireplace for a while,” Adler notes. “I wanted it to be very simple and yet to make a statement, and I think that settling on the simple stucco design with the only decorative accent being a custom decorative crest was the right decision.” (delray beachinteriors.com) —Liza

Off the Walls

WE SPOTLIGHT THREE WAYS TO TRANSFORM AN UNINSPIRED ACCENT WALL INTO A CONVERSATION STARTER

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

A WALL MURAL

Murals create an instant focal point in a space. While wallpaper continues to trend, murals present an opportunity to go bigger and bolder. They can depict everything from florals and botanicals to landscapes and exotic environs, meaning they’re an easy and elegant way to bring the outdoors in. In contrast to traditional wallpaper, which offers a seamlessly repeating print, wall murals contain scenes in panels. Adhesion methods, finishes, and sizes vary, so be sure to do your research to ensure you select the best option for your desired result. Visit the West Palm Beach wallpaper showroom of Chelsea Lane and Company to peruse an extensive library of wallpaper murals, including those from Naples-based company Daisy Bennett Designs. (chelsealaneco.com)

A LIVING WALL

While people’s affinity for biophilic design (which centers around incorporating natural elements into indoor spaces) started well before COVID-19, the quarantine and post-pandemic fallout spurred an uptick in its popularity. A prime example of this is living walls. Once reserved for hotel lobbies and luxe shopping plazas, living walls are now popping up in home interiors. Lindsay Scherr Burgess and her team at Green Wallscapes in West Palm Beach create unique moss art walls without the maintenance— no watering or special lighting is necessary. She offers a variety of styles (like Amazonia and Botanica) and the choice of a subtle neutral palette or a bolder look with succulents and ferns added into the mix. (greenwallscapes.com)

3D WALL PANELS

The idea of 3D wall panels is new to many. Essentially, it involves covering a wall with a decorative material that has three-dimensional surface patterns. These panes create instant dimension and texture in a more minimalistic way. Materials range from wood, metal, and glass to plant fibers and plastic, and aesthetics run the gamut from traditional to contemporary. Depending on your choice of material, many can be primed and painted in just about any hue. In South Florida, Victoria and Emmanuel Soler, the husband and wife behind CSD3DWalls, have been transforming spaces with 3D wall panels since 2016. Their team meets with clients to discuss design and color options as well as lighting and other environmental considerations before the final installation. (csd3dwalls.com)

Tropical RANCH

PALM BEACH’S RANCHSTYLE HOMES PROVIDE A GLIMPSE INTO MIDCENTURY ARCHITECTURAL TRENDS

BY MARIE PENNY X

During the mid-twentieth century, Palm Beach embraced a new informal lifestyle that architect John Volk described as “a freedom of living [that] has promoted compact and functional homes, a feeling of being out of doors for the inside of the house.” An emblem of this era was the ranch-style house, which proliferated across the West Coast and Southwest. The style expanded throughout the United States with regional variations, and it found a unique expression on Palm Beach. The three houses examined here differ, but they all share such defining traits as asymmetrical, U-shaped floorplans designed around a patio, steeply pitched roofs, and long, horizontal facades.

1. EMILY OBST: FAIRVIEW ROAD RESIDENCE,

1953

A graduate of the Columbia University School of Architecture, Emily Obst designed several ranch-style houses on Palm Beach’s North End. She believed buildings should be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. This house for Richard Brams is still standing and has the classic features of ranch, including large picture and jalousie windows, an attached garage, and a tile roof.

2. WYETH, KING & JOHNSON: ISLAND DRIVE RESIDENCE, 1951

Marion Sims Wyeth is typically associated with his grand estates; however, he

designed many ranch-style houses on Everglades Island and Hobe Sound. In keeping with the ranch tradition, this house for John and Lois Pettit had a sheltered recessed entry and screened wood louvers for additional privacy. The steeply pitched roofs were evocative of Hawaiian architecture, and the living room was connected to the patio by sliding glass doors—another hallmark of ranch.

3. HENRY HARDING: VIA VIZCAYA RESIDENCE, 1950

A Harding house is instantly recognizable: With a few exceptions, he designed predominantly one-story, Bermuda-style ranch residences. For Edgar Eyre, Harding created a floorplan that separated the bedrooms from the dining room and kitchen on either side of the patio. Another signature of Harding is the scallop cartouche over the doorway.

Marie Penny is the director of archives for the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach.

GET TORCH’D

A self-proclaimed student of Jane Fonda, Joseph Pilates, and Martha Graham, dancer and choreographer Isaac Boots created his Torch’d workout in 2008, when rehearsals for Broadway’s West Side Story left him with no time for the gym. The program infuses body-weight-resistance training and dance conditioning with a pumping soundtrack and Boots’ spirited personality. While initially a hit with fellow cast members, the Torch’d fan base quickly expanded to his celebrity training clients (including Kelly Ripa and Vanessa Hudgens) and then the world at large. The workout has proven so

popular that Boots was able to raise more than $1.5 million for No Kid Hungry by offering free Torch’d workouts on Instagram Live during the pandemic and encouraging participants to donate to the cause. March marks the last month of Boots’ seasonal residency at The Colony Hotel on Palm Beach, with class registration available online.

WARM-UP

Skin Deep

Also ending a residency at The Colony this month is renowned skin care expert Dr. Barbara Sturm. Here, Sturm discusses her philosophy and what makes both her products and full menu of facials available at The Colony so effective. (drsturm.com) —L.G.S.

XPBI: What makes your approach to skin care unique?

Sturm: My approach is healing and repairing the skin, staying away from aggressive ingredients, and respecting the skin as it is our largest organ with so many functions. My anti-inflammatory philosophy, coupled with years of research and ingredient science, is behind the efficacy of each of my products.

What do you believe are the essentials of a healthy skin care regimen?

My philosophy is that every skin care routine, regardless of age or gender, should be simple yet

effective. It should combat inflammation, deeply hydrate, nurture the skin, and be packed with highly active antiaging properties without the use of aggressive ingredients.

What is your Exoso-metic Facial?

This facial includes products from my Exosometric collection, a professional-grade product line that consists of a face serum and an eye

IMMUNE BOOST

serum formulated with powerful skin-regenerating technology that helps enhance firmness and radiance, smooth skin and skin structure, and improve skin tone and pigmentation. The facial also includes microdermabrasion and microneedling (or microchanneling). Exosomes can improve cell replication and cell-to-cell communication, and work on the skin matrix. It is the next big thing in antiaging and gives truly amazing results.

Since its founding in 1956, Hippocrates Wellness in West Palm Beach has become a leader in the field of natural and complementary health care and education. Last year, the center invited Sabrina Ciceri to open Immunity Health on its campus.

Ciceri has a history of nursing and personal fitness that spans decades and a belief that our bodies, when given the proper nutrients, can heal and protect themselves against viruses and illnesses. In June 2020, during the early stages of the pandemic, she opened a center in Central Florida focused on boosting the immune system.

While the therapies she offers may be familiar, Ciceri differentiates her services through the quality of her products. For example, the red-light therapy bed she utilizes boasts 45,000 lights (far more than the average) that produce energy within one’s cells, promote detoxification, and combat oxidative stress. Her cryotherapy machine is dual-chambered and electric, eliminating the need for potentially harmful gases and refrigerants. Her IV therapies are free of preservatives, corn, and synthetic components, made instead from more bioavailable natural ingredients.

“Because we are located on a healing center campus, we are partnered with their philosophy and beliefs,” Ciceri notes. “We don’t do anything as a trend or something to boost revenue. We do it because we have a passion for promoting healing in the body and slowing down the aging of people due to their lifestyles and the toxins and radiation in the environment.” (immunityhealth.com) —L.G.S.

WHAT’S THE LATEST HAIR GROWTH TREATMENT?

Trans-Epidermal Delivery (TED) is a revolutionary, noninvasive, needle-free, pain-free hair growth treatment for hair shedding, hair loss, and hair thinning. TED uses an ultrasound-based system that uses sound waves and air pressure to enhance the penetration of a powerful topical hair growth formula into the scalp. This combination is designed to increase blood flow, optimize scalp health, stop hair shedding, and promote hair regrowth by stimulating hair follicles to produce thicker, stronger, healthier hair.

AREN’T HAIR TRANSPLANTS PAINFUL AND PLUGGY LOOKING?

In the ’80s, hair transplantation wasn’t very sophisticated. It was usually very obvious and “pluggy”. Then in the ’90s and early 2000s, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) provided natural-looking results, but patients were left with a telltale linear scar that also required considerable downtime to heal. Today’s minimally invasive Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) harvests grafts as little as a single hair follicle at a time from the back and sides of the scalp and transplant them artistically into the areas of loss for a completely natural look with no pain and minimal downtime.

WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I FIRST NOTICE I MAY BE LOSING MY HAIR?

When you first start to see a loss of coverage, like a receding hairline or thinning in the crown, hopefully you’re not panicking and searching the internet for some “miracle vitamin” or shampoo. It’s critical to start some kind of hair restoration treatment to protect the hair that you have and help avoid a hair transplant in the future. The top hair restoration treatments to consider are medical therapies, such as Minoxidil and Finasteride, low-level laser light therapy such as the Bauman Turbo LaserCap, and regenerative medicine treatments, including PRP Platelet-Rich Plasma or PDOgroTM. If you’re starting to thin, keep in mind that you may have already lost 50 percent of your hair in that area before you start to notice it visually. It’s critical to get a consultation, either virtually or in-office, with an ABHRS boardcertified hair restoration physician.

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME

It’s well established that music can put us in a better mood, but what if sound can help us achieve better health? That’s the idea behind sound therapy. The premise is that all matter vibrates at specific frequencies and sound can be received at a cellular level, allowing it to address emotional imbalances and support physical well-being, explains Kathleen Haden of Good Vibrations Music. The West Palm Beach–based company is making this progressive methodology accessible to the public with the creation of music with health-supportive frequencies. Certain high and low tones can be challenging to listen to on their own, but frequency-infused music blends these frequencies that address specific conditions with melodies and sound, resulting in a pleasant listening experience. While users can pay to download Good Vibrations Music’s compositions individually, the company’s deluxe Bluetooth vibrational speakers ($225 each) come equipped with a 12hour frequency-infused music collection that can address such goals as deep sleep and stress relief.

EXPERT RESULTS

WHAT ATTRACTS PATIENTS TO SEEK OUT ENNIS PLASTIC SURGERY OVER OTHER PRACTICES IN SOUTH FLORIDA?

We are very fortunate to have clients from all over the world coming to see us in Boca Raton. With a team of professional and caring employees, our practice differentiates itself from the rest in that it offers an expert husband-and-wife team working together to achieve results.

IS THERE A SPECIALTY THAT DRAWS THEM?

The majority of our patients who travel to our practice in Boca Raton do so for our facial work and the very natural results we always aim to achieve. As the face ages it loses muscle elasticity, which affects the appearance of the skin, thus the misconception that lines and wrinkles are only ‘skin deep.’ By addressing the muscle underneath, we achieve a beautifully refreshed and natural result. We offer a true Deep Plane Facelift which allows us to achieve amazing results unlike other Facelift techniques.

ARE THERE OTHER PROCEDURES YOU ARE RENOWNED FOR?

We recently introduced the latest technology in hair transplantation that leaves no linear scar on the back of the head, and a rejuvenated hair line for the patient. Our breast implant technology achieves very natural results without a scar on the breast, preferring an underarm incision. Finally, our boutique practice approach in Boca Raton caters to a very sophisticated and well-educated group of patients who seek us out based on their research of cutting-edge procedures and our excellent reviews, which speak for themselves.

FACE VALUE

From injectables like Botox and fillers to microneedling procedures, people seeking facial rejuvenation are no strangers to taking needles to the face. But there’s a gentler (and nearly painless) way to get to the point at West Palm Beach’s Balance Point Acupuncture

Facial acupuncture, according to Penny Wang, a licensed acupuncture physician at Balance Point, is an ancient way to reduce signs of aging. The practice of inserting tiny needles into the skin in precise locations creates what Wang calls “positive microtraumas to the skin,” helping the body to produce new collagen and elastin fi bers.

After Wang assesses my facial topography, she begins inserting 25 needles into my face (and a few more in my arms and legs) to create the flow of qi—energy that is released when acupuncture needles stimulate targeted areas.

If you’re needle-squeamish, relax: The insertion process is essentially painless. I barely felt Wang’s deft work as she turned me into a human pincushion. Once the needles are placed, it’s time to relax for 30 minutes under a Celluma dome of pulsating red lights, which stimulate skin at the microscopic level to help increase cell turnover.

The process was surprisingly pleasant and required no downtime. The result? Noticeable improvement in my skin tone after only one treatment, although Wang recommends two visits a week for optimal results.

Spring Cleaning

EMBRACE A TIME OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND PERSONAL RENEWAL

BY TAMMY FENDER

The tradition of spring cleaning resonates with me on so many levels. The early spring is a great time to detoxify the body and release the built-up stodginess of the winter months. I like to focus on my diet, eating fruits and vegetables in their most natural, raw state, while also drinking lots of water. Over the years I’ve found that, for many, drinking fresh cucumber juice and antioxidant-rich celery juice can help flush the system of potential toxins. Another detoxifying libation is dandelion tea, which boasts a range of vitamins and minerals and is celebrated in traditional herbalism for its ability to support the kidneys and liver.

I love bringing this feeling of freshness to the skin, too, by employing treatments and protocols designed to gently polish away dullness. In addition to making skin supple, dry brushing can activate the lymphatic system and facilitate healthy detoxification. I also incorporate mineral salt baths into my routine to cleanse away fatigue and restore energy.

As the days grow longer and brighter, now is the perfect opportunity to awaken new ideas, coordinate new plans, and activate new habits—whether that means getting serious about an exercise regimen, committing to foreign language lessons, or booking a weekend retreat with friends. In the same way, the change of season can spur you to clean up your thoughts and

Carry that WEIGHT

THE INS AND OUTS OF THE CARRIED INTEREST LOOPHOLE

BY JUDY MARTEL

When the sweeping Inflation Reduction Act became law in August, one proposed change to a tax provision was removed at the eleventh hour, causing considerable controversy. The provision, called carried interest, is not one that most people can even explain, but it has been a touchstone in the ongoing argument that the IRS code unfairly allows the rich to get richer.

Carried interest refers to the favorable capital gains tax treatment for profits paid to investment managers and partners, particularly in alternative assets such as private equity, hedge funds, and venture capital funds. Typically, 20 percent of the profits of a fund are shared among managers. Because most of their compensation is in the form of carried interest, they pay the lower capital gains tax rate, which tops out at 20 percent, on the bulk of their income, rather than the top 37 percent federal income tax rate. The latest reform under the Inflation Reduction Act would not have done away with carried interest, but it would have increased the capital gains holding period by two years, among other changes.

Critics decry carried interest as a loophole for the wealthy. Supporters say it’s justifiable incentive for the risks these funds take on. Either way, it has endured multiple Congressional attacks and survived.

Sofia Johan, associate professor of finance at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, says the reason carried interest is considered a loophole is because many of these fund managers are putting little to none of their own money at risk, compared with the potential profit. “If you or I as investors put up our money, we expect to be compensated in some way for taking risk. There is an opportunity cost because the money we invest could be used for something else.” The potential payoff for investors, she adds, provides the incentive to

take the gamble. “But for many of these fund managers, there is no opportunity cost.”

Yet in some ways, carried interest is just the same as the stock options paid to CEOs of major companies, which make up most of their income, says Johan. “So then how do you differentiate between CEOs and venture capital managers? They all have a major financial stake in the success of the company or fund.”

In addition, if there is no profit, there is no carried interest, so managers are incentivized to perform, explains Johan. Contrast that with a mutual fund, where investors pay management fees whether the fund performs well or not. “If you have kids and they do poorly in school, you still have to clothe and feed them, but if you incentivize them by saying you’ll pay them $100 if they get an A, it’s kind of the same idea.”

When the funds do well, it also impacts more than just the wealthy, Johan adds. Pensions, insurance companies, banks, and other institutional investors need to diversify their cash holdings into alternative investments that don’t correlate to stocks and bonds. They often invest in hedge funds or venture capital, and the performance of the funds is reflected in the overall health of the pension or institution.

Democrats have estimated that closing the loophole would result

in $14 billion in additional tax revenue over the next decade. But Johan argues that might come at the cost of innovation for U.S. companies such as Amazon. “Virtually all successful public companies have benefited from venture capital and private equity fund investors,” she says. “Without carried interest as incentive, what would happen to the next Tesla? The only way to know the answer is to test it by removing the carried interest benefit, and I don’t know who would want to make that call.”

IT’S A NEW DAWN

Tour art from a changing world in the Norton Museum of Art’s “At the Dawn of a New Age: Early Twentieth-Century American Modernism,” on view March 18 to July 16. Curated in large part from the American modernist collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the exhibition includes works created during a uniquely optimistic, progressive, and innovative time in American history. From 1900 to 1930, early modernists flourished as cities, communication, industry, and transportation boomed, and as the women’s suffrage movement shifted the status quo. What resulted were colorful, exploratory, and abstract interpretations of modern life. Featured artists include Georgia O’Keeffe, Ben Benn, Albert Bloch, Oscar Bluemner, Patrick Henry Bruce, Yun Gee, Marsden Hartley, Agnes Pelton, Henrietta Shore, Florine Stettheimer, and William Zorach. Concurrently on display is “From Man Ray to O’Keeffe: American Modernism at the Norton,” which unpacks the connections between the American modernist art collections at the Norton and the Whitney.

ON DISPLAY FEBRUARY 4 — APRIL 2, 2023

Eduard Angeli Cities on Water

Eduard Angeli’s first exhibition in the United States features 18 large works depicting motifs from Venice, Istanbul, and St. Petersburg. Angeli is a landscape painter in his favored medium of charcoal. His motifs derive from but do not copy nature, instead conveying ideas or realities beyond appearances. His somber scenes, deprived of human beings, express a delicious, sentimental melancholy.

Eduard Angeli: Cities on Water is curated by Philip Rylands, President and CEO of The Society of the Four Arts, and organized by the Four Arts.

Contemplating Character

Portrait Drawings & Oil Sketches from Jacques-Louis David to Lucian Freud

Explore the evolution of portraiture in 81 works on paper by some of the most famous artists in Europe and America, ranging in date from the 18th century to present day. Contemplating Character reveals the challenge of accurately portraying an individual’s physical appearance and capturing the sitter’s personality and soul.

Contemplating Character is organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA in association with Denenberg Fine Arts, West Hollywood, CA.

Hours: 10-5 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays through Saturdays; 1-5 p.m. Sundays

You were born in Colombia and raised between Miami and London. How has your worldly upbringing influenced your designs?

Aquazzura is a combination of all the cultures, cities, and experiences that have made my life. Everything I see and everywhere I travel affect my design and nurture my soul. Diana Vreeland used to say, “The eye has to travel,” and I couldn’t agree more. Aquazzura is an Italian brand with a Latin soul that keeps evolving.

What does the name Aquazzura mean to you?

The name Aquazzura comes from the words “acqua” and “azzurra,” which means blue water in Italian. I’ve always been in love with the sea and the sun and wanted the name of my brand to both evoke my love for Italy and to remind me of Capri and all the sunny places by the water that I used to escape to during the winter. It is a name that expresses freedom and new dolce vita style.

You’re introducing new shoe styles for Spring/Summer 2023. What was the inspiration for the collection?

doing unexpected combinations like raffia with crystals, to give natural materials a luxe touch. Also, I wanted to introduce new heel shapes, creating … the Twist heel in gold-plated metal that is designed to elegantly steal the show. The heel was inspired by ’70s furniture, whose lines I find sensual and elegant.

Tell us about the new handbag collection debuting this spring. After 10 years of creating shoes, it felt like the right time to branch out into handbags. I wanted the design of the bags to be recognizable and powerful enough that no logo is needed. The day bags are versatile, meant to be worn from day to night, and defined by a timeless elegance. Materials are carefully selected for their premium quality, flexibility, and elegance—from buttery napa to raffia, from laminated leathers to luxurious exotic croco prints and satin. The color palette enhances the personality of the collection, with bright, glossy hues of emerald green, Ibiza blue, and sunflower yellow jewel alongside timeless black, camel, and white, and dégradé sunset shades with a gilded metallic sheen.

You’ve partnered with luxury brands across all spectrums of design. If you could collaborate with anyone, who would it be and what would you create?

For the Resort and the Spring/ Summer 2023 collections I was inspired by Caribbean living. I looked at wonderful pictures [by] Slim Aarons, Richard Avedon, and Patrick Demarchelier of island life.

From the Bahamas to St. Barths, I love the colors of the tropics and the relaxed lifestyle. I love

I love collaborations as they are a way to learn and create new, unexpected things and brainstorm with other creative people. There are so many that I would love to do that it’s hard to choose one. In fashion, I think it would be great to collaborate with Chanel to create sexy shoes, but in the Chanel spirit. In art, I would have loved to work with Claude Lalanne. I love his sculptures and find them elegant, modern, and timeless.

Aquazzura’s Spring/ Summer 2023 shoe styles and new handbag collection take inspiration from the colors and relaxed lifestyle of the Caribbean.
