EDITOR’S LETTER

At Q magazine, we appreciate all things timeless and classic—Jane’s innocent wicker basket, Ali’s all-American schoolgirl prep, Jackie’s tailored suits and oversized sunglasses, Brigitte’s perfectly tousled hair and eternally sun-kissed glow… Photos back then told stories of simpler, less self-centered, effortless days when ladies dressed for travel and men wore black tie to “casual” dinners. There were no step-and-repeat boards clamoring in the background, and people lived fluidly in the moment, without awkwardly trying to capture it for others to ogle. While we applaud these people and practices from the past, our goal at Q is not to dwell backward—but to savor what we learn and carry it with us as we move forward to the future. We may fill our pages with top brands and high-end designers, but the ease and satisfaction of Amazon Prime is not lost on anyone in this office. We propose that these ideals meld together, hand and hand. After all, Coco and Jackie were periodically seen mixing real and costume. The goal of any fashion-focused shopper is to achieve the chicest overall “look.” Combining a savvy “steal” with a lavish “splurge” only heightens the wearer’s confidence, adding value to the ultimate goal: personal style. Achieving that killer “look” is also the endgame of a cutting-edge company mentioned in our latest Spring edition. Q contributor Elizabeth Kurpis interviews Julia LeClair, co-founder of Orchard Mile—named for Singapore’s famed retail shopping and entertainment district, Orchard Road. The company strives to offer shoppers the experience of entering a virtual luxury store, where they are granted full access to their favorite designers at a single shopping destination. Alexis Maybank, whose achievements include co-founding Gilt Groupe, contributes a piece about her latest venture, Project September—a pioneering “see it now, buy it now” visual app that allows users to both share and shop from one quick stop on their smartphones. Shoppable photos are uploaded by bold-faced users, including Marie Claire creative director and Project Runway judge Nina Garcia, model and advocate Christy Turlington Burns, and fashion designer Nicole Richie. Along with Q’s enthusiasm for all things fresh and edgy, this issue takes a look back at two leading ladies from our past. Q’s very own and widely read editor, David Patrick Columbia, recalls the three times he encountered the eternally famous Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Coincidentally, Jackie’s father, “Black Jack Bouvier,” was driven by David’s dad in the late 1920s, and DPC’s tale is terrific! And, we are again proud to include Q contributor Liz Smith, fondly remembering her late friend Mary Tyler Moore, whose leading roles broke the stereotypical Counterclockwise from top right: Verdura’s Calla Lily Brooch; Mary Tyler images of women, serving as inspiration for countMoore in 1973; J.McLaughlin’s Ava wicker satchel; Kini’s YAZ bikini in white; less professional females. As Liz rightfully writes, Andrea Portago and Kitty Hawks in front of La Grenouille in New York City, “this planet just ain’t the same without Mary Tyler 1972; Nirav Modi’s Canary Yellow Jasmine Earstuds; Pari Ehsan of the site Moore turning the world on with her smile.” paridust.com and Sophia Macks of beyond-the-mag.com in a shoppable post May you skip into this season with a renewed seen on Project September’s mobile app; a look from Oscar de la Renta’s and vigorous step…and, remember: “No matter Fall 2017 collection; J.McLaughlin’s Luna sunglasses; a look from Moschino’s how long the winter, spring is sure to follow.” u Fall 2017 collection; Stubbs & Wootton’s Flamingo slippers.

CONTRIBUTORS

Liz Smith > Liz calls herself the 2,000-year-old gossip columnist. These days, she is focused on her column for New York Social Diary. In her latest for Q, Liz talks about “American Sweetheart” Mary Tyler Moore. Adorable and dynamic, Mary’s most famous roles include Laura Petrie, Dick Van Dyke’s wife on “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” and Mary Richards on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Mary Richards—and by extension, Mary Tyler Moore—would stand as a symbol of society’s “new, independent” working woman, one who became increasingly forceful—if still comically wary—as the series progressed.

David Patrick Columbia > Widely read and internationally esteemed writer David Patrick Columbia is an integral part of Quest and Q. His “Social Diary” column first appeared in Quest in 1993, and in 2000 he launched the website newyorksocialdiary.com. A beloved and sharply dressed guest at any coveted social ticket, David works tirelessly to keep his readers expertly informed of what’s happening in the lives of NYC's upper echelons. In this issue, David recalls the 3 times he encountered (but surprisingly never met) eternally famous Jacqueline Onassis.

78 > Lily Hoagland Lily Hoagland is the executive editor of Quest and Q, and has written for Vanity Fair. For this issue, she takes the readers from coast to coast for the most amazing parties of the season. Then she reveals the best products to keep your skin clear and your scent fresh—because this season is all about renewal. She recently filmed a short piece for the Horticultural Society for Kamie Lightburn, where at one point she lip-synced "Oh Yeah" by Yello. Otherwise, you can find her downtown, in Gramercy Park or the East Village, translating various French texts.

Claudia Cardinale is the Tunisian film actress of Italian ethnicity best remembered as a sex symbol from some of the most acclaimed European films of the 1960s and ’70s. Though she appeared in several English-language films, she has mostly worked in Italian and French cinema, where she’s always felt more at home—and less like a Hollywood cliché. This spring, avoid becoming a cliché and take a cue from the onetime “Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia” by picking some standout pieces of jewelry to brighten up your face—and your entire look. You never know which director might be watching.

4 3 5 Amanda Lear has played many roles in life: singer, lyricist, painter, actress, model, and, perhaps most impressively, friend and muse of the Surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. The French-born beauty grew up in the South of France and in Switzerland, and studied art in Paris and at Saint Martin’s School of Art in London. She is pictured here in London in 1973, captured by the photographer Peter Schlesinger. Lear has inspired us to stack on some bangles and cuffs ourselves this season—and to add a distinguished splash of color to our jewelry boxes with some of the pieces here.

Inge Morath was no ordinary photographer—in fact, some say she defined style through her lens with her extraordinary eye for fashion. Throughout her career, her photographs uniquely presented her classy subjects—including the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe—and beautifully captured their charm. In this photo, taken by Slim Aarons in 1961, we see a tranquil Morath sunbathing by a swimming pool adjacent to the sea in Acapulco.

Springtime Soles Charlotte Rampling began her career in the early 1960s as both a model and actress, and rose to enormous popularity due to her cool, distinct beauty and enigmatic looks. Rampling, now 71, remains one of the most recognizable actresses in the world, and received an Academy Award nomination in 2016 for her performance in 45 Years. Here, Rampling sits on a park bench in 1967 sporting subdued nudist flats. Shoes—a staple in every woman’s closet—often represent one’s personal taste, and this modest selection perfectly exemplifies her timeless, classic style and the effortless grace for which she has long been admired.

Staying In The Shade Tilly Tizzani graced the pages of fashion magazines like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar as a top-rated model. She was, among others, a spokeswoman for Revlon in the 1960s. In this 1966 photo by the incomparable Hiro, Tizzani is captured sporting an acetate visor—a fashion girl’s answer to the sun’s harmful rays.

Basket Bags British actress and singer Jane Birkin was responsible for the creation of one of the most famously coveted statement bags in history- the Hermès Birkin bag. However, Jane was making statements of her own with a very different carryall before the namesake bag was created: her very own...basket. Woven from wicker and casually slung across her arm, Birkin was photographed prolifically throughout the 1970s—whether it be for afternoons at the beach or black tie dinners at Cannes Film Festival, toting her effortlessly chic basket bag.

“I had sadness for breakfast,” said Andy Milonakis. Seconds after hearing the news that Mary Tyler Moore had died, on the early afternoon of January 25, I received a computer “alert” from The New Yorker magazine. It said, “A Very Bad Day for the Planet.” I actually thought it was about Mary. It was not, but those words surely apply to the loss of one of the most beloved women in the world. Aside from her gifts as an actress, she was divine to know, a genuinely good, nice person—and yes, it was a bad day on the planet with her gone. I was heartbroken, despite the fact that she had suffered poor health for many years. I felt with her passing, after all her suffering, that somebody up there had caught that famous blue knit beret; it and she will forever fly free now, healthy, smiling, always in our hearts.

The passing of Mary Tyler Moore is still reverberating, all these months later. I don’t know anyone who didn’t take her death personally, as if a dear friend had gone. She was born in Brooklyn, made her fame in Hollywood, and died in Connecticut. She was a uniquely American star. She seemed as open as that famous broad toothsome smile, and in many ways she was the typical girl-next-door. But there was an element of reserve in Mary, a touchingly private well of distance. This gave some of her best work a fascinating subtext; she was not one-dimensional, in her life or art. The oldest of three children, Mary married young, at age 18 to Richard Meeker. She was a mother to Richard Jr., her only child, less than a year later. She was a divorcee at 24.

The Legend Of Mary Tyler Moore

Her first passion was dance, and to that end she found work as “Happy Hotpoint,” a dancing elf in a series of T.V. commercials. She was vivacious and adorable, and—after the birth of her son—she took up bit parts and small acting roles: everything from the voice (and legs) of the sexy receptionist to “Richard Diamond: Private Detective” to a slew of hapless victims, femme fatales and various other types in every popular TV show of the era—“77 Sunset Strip,” “Bourbon Street Beat,” “Surfside Six,” “Wanted: Dead or Alive,” “Thriller,” “Hawaiian Eye,” “Riverboat,” “Stage Coach West,” “Thriller,” “Bachelor Father.” She even appeared in the first episode of Tab Hunter’s ill-fated one-season sitcom. If her name was not known, her face (and body) were already very familiar to TV viewers by the time she was offered the role of Laura Petrie, in “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” in 1961. Van Dyke, who would become a big movie star (briefly) during the five year run of the series, did not really want Mary, despite her good looks and appeal. He—11 years her senior—felt that she was too

young to be convincing as his wife, and too untested in any significant work. He was, as he was happy to later admit, very wrong. She was hired. A hit was spawned, a star was born. As Laura Petrie, on “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” Mary was, ideally and genuinely, an American sweetheart. She was still somewhat confined to 1960s standards, but Laura was younger and sexier and a little bit bolder than the T.V. wives who preceded her. She wore tight Capri pants, which believe it or not, caused something of scandal. She was adorable and feisty and audiences and critics loved her. She won an Emmy, and declared, clutching her statuette, “I know this will never happen again!” During the run of the series, Mary often guest starred on the variety programs that proliferated, always eager to show off her dancing/singing skills. When the show ended—Van Dyke would not commit for more than five seasons, so Mary, naturally, turned to the big screen. Although Thoroughly Modern Millie starring Julie Andrews, was a hit, it was not critically loved, and Mary’s role as Miss Dorothy Brown,

didn’t showcase her properly. (To be honest, the overlong, striving-for-camp film didn’t showcase Andrews properly either—it would be Julie’s last screen success for a long time.) Mary followed with Don’t Just Stand There, What’s So Bad About Feeling Good and her screen nadir, the ominously titled Change of Habit. This paired her with an utterly bored Elvis Presley—she was a nun! It would be Presley’s last movie, and things weren’t looking too good for Mary, either. None of these films had been successful. Nor had Mary’s reputation been enhanced by her venture onto Broadway in the infamous 1966 Edward Albee/Bob Merrill musical adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It was re-titled Holly Golightly and never officially opened. It was 1969, the times they had a

changed, and Mary Tyler Moore was looking like yesterday’s girl-next-door, obsolete while still in bloom. In 1970, Mary, and her husband, CBS executive Grant Tinker—they had married in 1962—took matters into their own hands. The pair formed MTM Enterprises, and the company’s first output was “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Moore had traveled some distance from happy Laura Petrie. Mary Richards was 30, jittery, and initially insecure in her Minneapolis job as a newsroom associate producer. She was unmarried, having ended a relationship, and would not, throughout the seven-year run of the series, be particularly on the lookout for a man to complete her—although beaus would come go. “The Mary Tyler Show” would be lavished with praise and awards. Mary Richards—and by extension, Mary Tyler Moore—would stand as a symbol of society’s “new, independent” working woman, one who became increasingly force-

ful—if still comically wary—as the series progressed. But watching Mary and the show evolve, getting better every season, I noticed that for all of Mary Richards’ cheerfulness, goodness, and generosity, she stood alightly aside in her friendships. She was private. Mary was no open book, like best pal Rhoda or landlady Phyllis, her boss Lou Grant or the buffoonish Ted Baxter. Mary held certain things close. One could go so far with Mary, but no further. It was something in her manner, rather than anything the writers devised, making Mary Richards a richer character. Although ratings had fallen by the seventh season, the quality of the show—the richness and growth of all the characters—had never been more seamless. CBS was willing to go one more season. Mary, wisely, ended this defining work at its peak. Her real life wasn’t always easy. Illness plagued her, her marriage to Grant Tinker—who became CBS’s Chairman and CEO—eventually failed (Professionally MTM Enterprises would flourish, creating hits such as “Lou Grant,” “Remington Steel,” “The Bob Newhart Show,” “Hill Street Blues,” “St. Elsewhere,” and “The White Shadow.”). Later, horribly, Mary’s only child, Richie, would die of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her sister, Elizabeth, had died years earlier—a combination of painkillers and alcohol. Cancer would take her brother, John, at 47. The inner reticence and coolness I found evident and in-

teresting on her sitcom, is what I believe Robert Redford saw in her, why he chose her to play the emotionally unavailable mother in Ordinary People. Not that Mary Tyler Moore was “like that.” But there were elements, a darker, pained aspect to America’s happy girl. (In her autobiography, she would reveal a battle with alcohol, and regrets that perhaps she had been too career-focused, in detriment to recognizing her son’s problems.) Mary’s third marriage, in 1983 to Dr. Robert Levine, lightened, and seemed to free her up a great deal, both personally and as an actress. I’ll take a guess and venture that she felt, in this marriage, less a product, and more a person. I thought she was superb as the wildly neurotic Mary Todd Lincoln in the TV adaption of Gore Vidal’s book on the martyred president (despite Vidal’s publicly critical objections to her). And Mary was hilarious in David O’Russell’s Flirting with Disaster. There were some very good—and some daring—TV movies (Between Friends, Like Mother and Son) and a few unsuccessful attempts to return her to small screen series glory. There was also an extremely well-regarded 1980s stage appearance in

Whose Life is It Anyway? which garnered her a special Tony Award. (More than compensating for Holly Golightly.) But Mary herself had become so iconic (that overused word, undeniably right in this case!) and was so well-loved by the public and the industry, that her work seemed almost beside the point. It was good to see her, but better, simply to know that she was in this world. Everyone knew she fought a daily, painful battle against diabetes, but in my relationship with her she put in exuberant “thank you” calls, wrote charming notes and was a doll whenever I ran into her. She could be teasingly ribald at times—as I said, the third marriage was the charm. But always, always, there was that gentle wall of privacy, something behind her eyes that asked you please, just this far, no further. Even in her memoir, for all her frankness, she kept a distance. I respected that, back then, and even more, now, when celebrities seem driven to vomit out the most intimate details— without ever being asked. Mary Tyler Moore gave so much pleasure, she didn’t need to offer any more, and the public knew well enough never to ask for extras. Her talent, her essence, her courage; those qualities were more than enough. And even though that January “alert” from The New Yorker was not telling me that Mary Tyler Moore had died, I can’t help feeling there was some divine coincidence going on there. This planet just ain’t the same without Mary Tyler Moore turning the world on with her smile. u

Runway Review B y B r o o k e k e l ly

Fashion is ever-changing, with trends constantly evolving to satisfy the fickleness of the consumer; yet, style and taste are timeless. The designers featured in the Fall 2017 runway shows in New York, Paris, and Milan impeccably navigated this balancing act of maintaining the style and taste that have made them famous over the decades, while simultaneously sprinkling in fresh, new takes to keep their classy collections relevant and exciting. From Herrera’s traditional white blouses paired with more trendy biker boots, Chanel’s galactic theme, to Mochino’s use of recyclable materials, this year’s Fall runway shows perfectly exemplified why these iconic designers have been able to maintain their place at the top of the fashion hierarchy for so long. Here we invite you to take a peek at some of these sensational presentations.

Q U I N T E S S E N T I A L

> Carolina Hererra Carolina Herrera’s move from her usual spot uptown at the Frick Museum’s baronial Garden Court to a less developed space in the Meatpacking district is illustrative of a new era in her work—an attempt to maintain her elegant style while targeting a more youthful audience. The show began with models strutting in crisp white blouses, strikingly similar to Herrera’s very own iconic look. The silhouette is so simple, yet she managed to play with it in many different subtle ways to entice her audience—we see the modest white blouse accompanied by a more audacious pussy bow, a pilgrim collar, and a fitted wrapped waist. Who knew a conservative white blouse could excite in so many different ways? Most of these blouses were paired with long, flowy skirts varying in material but keeping to the younger schoolgirl-esque look. She then began to present more business casual looks and eveningwear options that had a similar elegant feel. From the white blouse paired with biker boots and leather jackets to a flowy long skirt accompanied by a bulky knit top, Herrera was able to add interesting twists to traditional outfits throughout the entire collection—making the collection youthful. Overall, Herrera continues to impress.

S T Y L E

> Chanel Chanel’s Fall 2017 show was one for the ages. Karl Lagerfeld—the creative director and lead designer of the luxury fashion house—had the Grand Palais in Paris decked with abstract outer space-themed elements for the show including a stylish, Chanel-branded rocket ship at the center. While the setting alone made the show spectacular, the outfits strutted by models circling the almighty rocket ship were the highlight. The collection had a futuristic and ultramodern feel, yet stuck to Chanel’s oh-so-classy style. Astronomically-printed silhouettes, glittery moon boots, voluminous ’60s-style hair, metallics galore, fingerless gloves, a rocket ship-shaped handbag, and flashy sunglasses are just a handful of the exhilarating pieces featured in the collection. Throughout, there was an abundance of modest colors including black, white, grey, and navy, and, at multiple points, a more stimulating purple. At the conclusion of the show, Lagerfeld and Hudson Kroenig—Chanel’s juvenile model and the grandson of Lagerfield—took the stage as the rocket ship took off several feet into the air to Elton John’s “Rocket Man.” In short, the unique setting was sensational and the collection was captivating but classy—for lack of better word, this show was awesome.

> Dolce and Gabbana Everyone on the runway received the royal treatment at Dolce and Gabbana’s show in Milan, and tiaras sat on the heads of the eclectic group that walked the runway that day. This event must have been one of the most participation-oriented to ever find itself on a runway. Of the 140 people who participated in the show, an unprecedented percentage of them were not selected from a modeling agency. The show included royal family members, influential millennials from around the world, recognizable names from acting and music, and even toddlers! Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana wanted to embrace the beautiful eccentricities of the people in the show, while also incorporating their characteristic Italian influence into fashion. The message to embrace who you are was well received by the crowd. Each mother, daughter, brother, and boyfriend even got to choose the outfit they would strut out in, and had weeks of fittings to ensure they would feel their absolute best. The show was social, fun, and best of all: colorful! Dolce and Gabbana has always been known to combine colors and fabrics that create the most stunning luxury—this show did not disappoint.

> Jason Wu The show oozed class and elegance from the opening to the close. This was the 10th anniversary of Wu’s collection, so the designer went back to the beginning and held the show at the St. Regis, which is where his first big show was held in 2010. The show reflected its surroundings by calmly presenting the glamorous collection—sans the glitz. However, no sense of awe was lost in the process. The designer started out in evening wear, and although he has branched out since, his love of black tie was still present in the show. A solid portion of the show revolved around show-stopping cocktail dresses we will likely see all over red carpets come winter. Unlike some of the other high fashion shows we visited, the looks that came down Jason Wu’s runway seemed like clothes we could actually incorporate into our closet. The collection’s overall feel leaned towards how a modern woman would dress in all areas of her life. There was something to wear to Sunday brunch and a corporate fundraiser—and every event in between. We cannot wait for these perfectly tailored dresses and daywear to be available in stores! > Moschino Moschino’s Fall 2017 show was one that struck both the creative and altruistic mind. The show was filled with headliner models such as Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner strutting their high demand goods down the catwalk. The show opened with a stream of models donning outfits created out of recycled cardboard, with stickers on them that said “fragile” or “this side up.” The show continued with couture plastered in the brand’s name, looking as though “Moschino” had been torn from the pages of magazines and was sculpted into high fashion. The third phase of the show integrated out of the ordinary fabrics such as shower curtains and dry cleaning bags.

Walking The Mile With Julia Wetherell LeClair by

Whether walking

along Orchard Road in Singapore or through Miracle Mile in Manhasset, New York, one can easily become immersed in the thrill of a luxury shopping experience. In a store, brands carefully curate the client experience—from picking the right music and editing visual layouts to providing some much-needed bubbly after a long day of hitting the pavement. In the online universe, however, most of these experiences are lost. Orchard Mile, an online shopping destination founded by three former fashion execs, is trying to change that—one storefront at a time. Over lunch at Maison Kayser in New York’s Flatiron District, Orchard Mile co-founder Julia Wetherell LeClair shared her take.

“storefront” on the Mile, where we try to recreate that sense of place or destination. Similar to Rodeo Drive or Madison Avenue, Orchard Mile customers can completely immerse themselves in a brand’s collection.

Q: What is your background in fashion? A: I went to Georgetown University and grew up in a tech family. As a result, I loved tech, but I also loved fashion and the business. I studied marketing and advertising and before Orchard Mile worked at Condé Nast and Elle. After meeting my co-founders, Jennie Baik and Georgie Benardete, we realized that we each assumed brands were struggling with their online presence. Shoppers were sick of the endless search— going from website to website trying to find the right looks and, in the process, wasting time and money. Q: What is Orchard Mile? A: Orchard Mile is a luxury marketplace. We partner directly with top brands so clients enjoy all the benefits of visiting a multi-brand environment, while brands enjoy an increase in traffic and sales of their products. On typical multi-brand sites, brand marketing is not amplified, and as a result, the entire label is lost. On a brand’s site, however, the customer can view the brand’s runway shows, lookbooks, and videos, allowing its “story” to come to life. On Orchard Mile, every brand has its own

Q64

/ SPRING 2017

Q: What makes Orchard Mile different than any other multibrand site? A: Some multi-brand sites are aggregators of all things on the web and at all price points. They partner with every retailer and brand so you might see the same dress as shown on Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys, Net-à-Porter, and the brand’s own website. The dress is likely shot in five different ways and often available for five different prices. That is problematic for the brand because multi-label retailers tend to offer items at steep discounts, which prevents the brand from earning any profits. Orchard Mile partners directly with brands and only one retailer, Saks Fifth Avenue, which acts as an “anchor” department store, similar to what you would see at a mall. But our partnership with Saks is limited to brands that are not currently on Orchard Mile, and we are able to choose which brands from Saks we want on the site. So around the holidays, for instance, we offer a lot of beauty brands because they are great for gifting. Q: What brands do you partner with? A: We curate the brands that we invite onto the Mile. We try to partner with brands geared toward the modern-day shopper who is buying luxury and contemporary items and has no problem mixing high and low. Brands on the site include Roland Mouret, Oscar de la Renta, Jason Wu, Perrin Paris, and many other luxury and contemporary brands. We have a lot of the big players as well as small, up-and-coming brands, allowing the opportunity for us to offer shoppers access to heritage labels while discovering new and quickly growing lines.

Q: Do the brands on Orchard Mile have their own websites? A: That is the only requirement: each brand must have its own e-commerce site, which we partner with. Orchard Mile is essentially a mirror image of the brand’s e-commerce site—whatever is on it is also on our site, and the moment a piece goes on sale on their site, it goes on sale on ours. Additionally, when shopping on Orchard Mile, a customer is always able to view and select pieces from the brand’s entire collection, rather than limited items chosen by a buyer from a third-party retailer. What’s more, looks featured on Orchard Mile are shown exactly the way the brand shot and styled them.

and they curate a collection of products that they would wear when visiting that destination. We interview them about their chosen locale, so it is a bit of a travel guide with recommendations about where to go, where to stay, where to shop, and what to see when you are there. We are also launching a feature called My Mile, which allows clients to create their own “Mile.” Instead of adding brands or having a wish list, he or she can follow a brand and any category within a brand’s collection. So it is like your own real-time personalized shopping destination.

Q: Does Orchard Mile incorporate any editorial content on the site? A: Yes! While we pride ourselves on being an un-curated and unedited place to shop, we understand that people love inspiration and stories. Our Orchard Mile’s “Stories” tab, “Walk the Mile,” features stories from style icons, tastemakers, and designers featured on our site. Each chooses a destination that influences and/or is somehow reflective of their style,

Q: Are there any styling suggestions on the site? A: We pride ourselves on being a concierge and high-touch experience, which is usually lost online. We will suggest how to complete a particular look, and have a whole in-house team that works with those seeking more help. We try to offer clients a high-touch experience with gestures such as sending handwritten notes after a client makes a purchase, and putting together pop-ups at which people can experience the brands tangibly.

Q: Why would a shopper go to Orchard Mile instead of another multi-brand retailer for their one-stop shopping experience? A: Most retailers only buy about 5−10% of a brand’s collection, while Orchard Mile offers every piece in a brand’s produced line. So, if you love fashion and are looking for those unique, less-widely-produced specialty pieces, you may have to go to a number of websites to get them—or you can go directly to Orchard Mile. Other retailers elect not to buy a brand’s full collection because they do not want to assume the risk of all of them not selling.

Q: What does your day-to-day look like? A: I focus primarily on brand development. I meet with the brands—those we hope to bring on board, as well as signed brands with which we strive to cultivate our relationships. For instance, we were just in LA and hosted an event with Rosetta Getty, one of the brands we work with at Orchard Mile. We also organized a dinner in Palm Springs with David Aiken and our top clients to celebrate fashion and the arts, and to kick-off Coachella. Q: What is one of your favorite fashion moments? A: I got married last April on a tiny island in the Caribbean— Canouan Island—and I worked with Naeem Khan on my dresses for the weekend. We threw a white party for our rehearsal dinner, so we designed a dress that was causal and flowy for the beachy occasion. And, of course, we designed my wedding dress for the ceremony. I have also enjoyed collaborating with some of the brands. We recently worked with Roland Mouret to create two exclusive pieces offered only on Orchard Mile. u

BY ELIZABETH MEIGHER In the early 1880s Henry Flagler, a wealthy Northern industrialist, founded the Town of Palm Beach with the extension of Flagler’s East Coast Railway. Enchanted by Palm Beach’s warm weather and tropical environment, Flagler envisioned Palm Beach as a playground for wealthy Northerners during the cold winter months. As Palm Beach evolved into the premier winter retreat for American aristocracy, the island developed a style all of its own. Here’s a Key lime slice of Quest’s best through the years.

On Never Having Met Mrs. Onassis by

D av i D P at r i c k c o lu m b i a

Originally published in the July 1994 issue of Quest

My father

idolized her father. I grew up hearing his name. He was always referred to either as Bouvier or Black Jack Bouvier. Whenever my father said it, there was romance and adventure, a stature and dash in the sound of his voice. It resonates in my mind’s ears to this day because it was like an oasis in the otherwise bleak and angry landscape that was my father’s life and household. Back in the late 1920s when he was a young man and long before I was born, he had been Black Jack Bouvier’s driver. From his descriptions of the man, my childhood sensibilities forever picture a handsome figure who loved the grand, fast life. They’d race Bouvier’s Stutz Bearcat with my father at the wheel going 90 and 100 miles an hour, out to East Hampton. That’s fast today but it was a lot faster 65 years ago. To me, it was a passage out of Fitzgerald. My father didn’t think much of the missus. He referred to her derisively, in his typically Irish way, by pronouncing her second husband’s name Ark-in-clarse. More than once he recounted that because of her there had been a fistfight, way back then, between the two men—Bouvier and Auchincloss— one night in the parking lot of the Bathing Corporation in Southampton. Bouvier won, of course. Our hero. At least in my father’s version of the story, ignoring the fact that Auchincloss got the girl. He never said “boo” about Black Jack’s peccadillos, let alone their effect on the Bouvier marriage. I was a young man before I heard the first name of either Bouvier daughter. Jacqueline was world famous before I knew that it was her father, and not her mother, who had made a mess of the happy home she never grew up in. Coincidentally, it was at this time that I also learned that my own father had long

before brought a new meaning to the word adultery. It was only natural that he would cover for the memory of his former boss. I never knew Mrs. Onassis. I never met her, nor was I ever in the same room with her. I know a number of people who did know her, and a few who knew her well, or as well it would seem, as one could. I often heard many of these friends and acquaintances talk about her, particularly her foibles and personality, which is what almost all people like to talk about anyway. It was always interesting. The little girl voice, they said, was for the world. There was another voice, no matter how quotidian, that seemed somehow remarkable in the retelling by those who had been in her company. She was a historical person to me, rather than a real person. Therefore, I had no expectations of whom she should be or how she should act. I accepted her on her terms. I felt she was owed this considering what she’d been through. I never thought of her as saintly, as many quickly and absurdly did after John Kennedy’s death. She was a woman who had to make sharp, tough choices in her life. Most women do, it is true, although most women don’t have to do it with the world staring at them. However, it turned out that she had a talent for publicly putting a good face on things. It was to everyone’s advantage, including the American people. It may well have been honed in that childhood of sharp dissension between her mother and father. She bore the burden, as children do, of cherishing a father who had lost control of his life and never regained it. But she was irrepressible and she had grace. Her life had developed into a large and fascinating canvas. Her choice of Onassis as a second husband clearly articulated

(Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis passed away on May 19, 1994)

a certain aspect of her. As did her choice of Jack Kennedy. With Kennedy she was beautiful, and enchanting, and the world’s princess. However, with Onassis she suddenly seemed frivolous, tabloidal, the ultimate shopper. After Onassis, she transformed again. She went to work. She was a serious single parent who reared her children well. The public resumed their reverence—this time for keeps. Unlike a lot of New Yorkers who’d seen her dozens, maybe hundreds, of times—because she was so out there despite the privacy she serenely commanded—I saw her on only three different occasions. The first was more than 20 years ago, on Madison Avenue in the 80s on a still snowless but gray early winter’s afternoon. I was walking north when I spotted up ahead on the other side of the street a brunette woman moving quickly south through the crowd. As we reached parallel spots on the sidewalk, I recognized whom I was watching. She was wearing Burberry belted at the waist, dark stockings and low-heeled shoes. Her gait was strong, wide, and quick. Her calves were muscular but slender and her arms swung decisively. I stopped to watch this dynamic figure who moved with such precise determination. She made a dash across the avenue to beat a changing traffic light. She darted eastward between cars with an athlete’s agility, then disappeared lickety-split down East 83rd Street towards Park. It was a powerful, astonishing presence—a pleasure to see. The second time, about six years later, I happened to be walking by 1040 Fifth Avenue about 11:30 one morning in the springtime. A limousine was waiting next to the canopy. Traffic jammed the avenue. Everything was stopped for the light. In the lane next to the limousine, the Fifth Avenue bus was waiting to move. The billboard on the side of it had an ad for a local newspaper serial. It was a picture of JFK and the words in the big white print against a black background: “Who Really Killed JFK?” Then, as if it were a surreal scene out of a movie, his widow suddenly emerged from her building, a doorman escorting her to the waiting car with the billboard directly in her line of sight. Whether she saw it was impossible to determine. I would hope that she didn’t. But to this passerby it was a shocking reminder of her past and the memories that she had to live with. Several years later a friend told me about going with Jackie to interview a famous singer in the hope of signing her up to write her autobiography. The singer had not given a public concert in years and Jackie asked her why. The singer started to explain that the last concert she had given many years before was outdoors in Central Park and at the time she found herself on the open-air stage fearing a sniper’s bullet from a skyline rooftop. Suddenly she realized whom she was telling this story to. She stopped and apologized. She then recalled for the slain president’s widow what we all recall about ourselves—where she was at that moment on November 22, 1963, when the world heard the news. Jackie said nothing and the subject passed. The conversation

S T Y L E

continued unmarred by any more awkwardness. After the meeting, the friend asked Jackie how she felt about the singer’s gaffe. Jackie confided that it was a common occurrence in her life, that strangers often would come up to her on the street to offer sympathy, always recalling where they were at that fatal moment. “What they don’t realize,” she told her friend, “is that I also remember where I was on that day.” Then how, the friend asked, did Jackie handle such an unconsciously insensitive assault? “A steel door comes down before my eyes,” she replied, “and I shut it out.” The only other time I saw her was that September. I happened to be crossing 58th Street by the Plaza Fountain; when turning to watch for oncoming cars, I noticed her coming out of the side door of Bergdorf’s, carrying shopping bags to a waiting dark emerald green Buick sedan. A driver in a light gray suit and cap was holding the car door for her. It was a private moment. He was speaking to her with a smile on his face, as if chiding her. She got into the back seat with her packages, smiling with an expression of mock guilt. There was a kindness and a sweetness in the way she looked up at him. There was none of that stony hauteur or grim self-importance that often marks the countenance of so many of her social peers when they are being served. Again, it was that natural grace. The night of her passing someone told me a story, perhaps apocryphal, but nevertheless appropriate for the sad moment, about Nixon’s visit to China and his meeting with Mao. The two men sat next to one another in those big chairs with the big arms surrounded by their lieutenants and interpreters. The Chairman, old and infirm, stared straight ahead, still and silent. Nixon, no champion of casual conversation himself, was hard put to engage the dying dictator. He brought up the assassination of Kennedy and the effect it had on this country. Then he inquired of Chairman Mao as to how he thought things would have turned out for the world if, instead of Kennedy, Nikita Khrushchev had been killed. The sphinx-like Chinese leader sat there unblinking for several moments. Then, without turning to his guest to answer the question, he admitted that he didn’t know what the outcome might have been. But, he added, he did know one thing for sure: Mr. Onassis wouldn’t have married Mrs. Khrushchev. It was a life like no other in this century. Millions and millions admired and related to her. Her adulthood was marked by prominent relationships that made her famous and made her rich. But neither, ironically, could have made her happy. However, she had pluck and seemed to have found happiness in her children, her work, and, eventually, in a less than traditional but very happy relationship with Maurice Tempelsman. The public could speculate, as they did, that she found a successful way to get beyond the horrors of her destiny. Perhaps that is why so many of us strangers felt the grief one feels only for a loved one. It was as if everybody had been robbed by fate—us, her family, her loved ones, and especially Jackie herself. u

Dorado

This spring, while spending a relaxing weekend in the Caribbean with some prominent guests, fashion designer Ariana Rockefeller unveiled a new tote and clutch inspired by the heritage of Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. Made exclusively for the resort, the bags evoke the vision of her late great-uncle Laurance Rockefeller, who developed the eco-friendly property in 1958. “I believe it is something my uncle Laurance’s wife, Mary, and my grandmother, Peggy, would have taken on holiday to Dorado Beach,” Rockefeller said of the collection. “The pieces honor Laurance’s love of nature and low-key elegance.”

The California-based luxury eyewear brand Oliver Peoples, known for its vintage-inspired aesthetic with a tinge of L.A.-film-and-scene chic, celebrated its 30th anniversary—and partnership with renowned photographer Peter Lindbergh—with a cocktail party at the Chateau Marmont. Guests mingled around the pool and took in the latest campaign installations by Lindbergh. Party-goers like Levi Dylan and Monika “Jac” Jagaciak (campaign stars themselves), Rebecca Gayheart, and Ethan Peck stayed late into the evening and danced the night away to DJ sets by Balthazar Getty and Charlie Eisner.

A Cinema Society party for Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2 was naturally out of this world. The Skylark was alight with bright stars and a constellation of good times. As attendees like Diane Kruger, Paul Haggis, and Ellen von Unwerth sipped playfully named cocktails like Peter Quill’s Potion and Drax’s Fuel, the mood at the Skylark was cheerful, with guests chatting about their favorite moments, and buzzing about the many post-credits scenes. Some of the Marvel’s favorite motley crew of superheroes and their nemeses were seen laughing it up, most notably the luminous Zoe Saldana and Michael Rooker.

Once again the event did not disappoint, with an exhibit of “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,”and hosted by Anna Wintour, Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, Katy Perry, and Pharrell Williams. A whiff of scandal surrounded this year, however, when celebrities posted pictures of themselves smoking in the bathroom—strictly verboten by the health department—but lending credence to the “Prom” nickname.

Capricorn Dec. 22 to Jan. 19 Usually Capricorns are the serious type, but this is the season to say yes to anything and everything, instead of being so cautious. You will find youself in a pool of new, sun-soaked experiences to reminisce upon when the weather turns to gray. > Sangria

Cancer June 21 to July 22

Aquarius Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Leo July 23 to Aug. 23

Caught between being the life of the party, and curling up in a blanket is your constant state of being, Aquarius. Though balance is key, being stuck in the middle is not. Let go of the stressful situation you have caught yourself in right now, and sip your mojito solo! > Mojito

There is rarely a moment where you aren’t loaded with confidence. Channel that into a big project this season. Earn that big promotion you have been eying! But don’t let your pride get in the way of someone offering advice—everybody needs help getting that SPF 45 on their back. > Manhattan

Pisces Feb. 19 to Mar. 20 The nature of Pieces is to be sensitive and open. The moons have aligned for you to take hold of the budding relationship in your life, and let it blossom to its very fullest. Don’t be afraid to get hurt, in doing that you often miss out on the best adventures! > Martini

Virgo Aug. 24 to Sept. 22 If there is ever a need for a volunteer, you are always the first to step forward. Be careful this season not to commit yourself to too many events—you want to be able to enjoy your cocktail without always having to rush off to a different event! > Margarita

Aries Mar. 21 to Apr. 19 You are known for being quite fiery when it comes to things you are passionate about. Though that list may be long, you need to prioritize. You will have to choose between family and fun in the near future; not to worry, you will make the right decision! > Spicy Paloma

Libra Sept. 23 to Oct. 22 People count on you to balance the chaos in their lives and lend a steady hand. Libras are known for their level head, but don’t let everyone else’s problems ruin your own life. Take some time for yourself this season—maybe even buy those perfect summer sandals! > Negroni

Taurus Apr. 20 to May 20 Everyone looks to you for advice because of your ever-expanding heart, Taurus. This summer you will have to deal with some feelings of your own that will transform your future outlook. Get ready for some deep, lounge-chair thinking. > Mint Julep

Scorpio Oct. 23 to Nov. 21 The stars have aligned, Scorpio, and this will be the summer you meet someone new! Don’t rule out the charming stranger who strikes up a conversation while you are lounging in the summer sun—make sure to only let those oversiezed sunnies protect your eyes—not your heart. > Dark & Stormy

Gemini May 21 to June 20

Sagittarius Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Gemini, you do have a tendency to get hung up on things, but this summer is your time to shed the past and let yourself shine bright! Start the summer off right with a huge birthday celebration and finally treat yourself to the gift you have been eyeing for months! > Champagne Cocktail

Sagittarius, you are always steadfast when it comes to your opinions, and now is not the time to back down. A situation is looming in your professional life that requires you to step up to the plate. Take advantage of this opportunity to show your boss you are worthy of a promotion! > Aperol Spritz

/ SPRING 2017

The placement of the Moon indicates you should take this time to refocus your energy. Throw yourself into a new barre class and get that summer body you have always dreamed of! There is no reason to put yourself second this summer—so stop inventing reasons. > Old Fashioned
