EDITOR’S LETTER

Most people use the New Year as a time to reflect on the past while looking forward to the future. While change is constructive, it can also be daunting. Below are 10 inspirational tips to keep your chin up in 2016: Yoda counseled, “You will know (the good from the bad) when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible!’” noted Audrey Hepburn. “A happy family is but an earlier heaven,” from Oscar-winning playwright George Bernard Shaw. Donald Trump prescribed: “If you’re interested in ‘balancing’ work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable.” Jimmy Kimmel warned, “If you don’t have a crazy Facebook friend, you are the crazy Facebook friend.” Anna Wintour conceded, “I don’t really follow market research. In the end, I respond to my own instincts.” F. Scott Fitzgerald urged: “Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.” Katharine Hepburn wrapped it up in four words: “Never complain. Never explain.” And—my favorite—Robert Frost elucidated, “The best way out is always through.” Our latest edition of Q offers a look at two remarkable women-—known as much for their strength and worldly accomplishments as for their adventurous spirit and impeccable style. Winter Q covergirl, (the late) Ann Bonfoey Taylor, was a true “sportswoman.” Though not widely known in today’s fashion circles, Taylor commanded much attention in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar for her bold sense of style. What’s even more remarkable are Taylor’s accomplishments. Olympic skier, nationally ranked tennis player (she competed at Wimbledon), licensed pilot, skilled equestrian, and skiwear designer are among her many laurels. Although Taylor’s first marriage ended in divorce—from James Cooke, who left Taylor for a member of her ski team—she persevered. Taylor became a C.A.A. War Service Instructor, responsible for training young cadets before combat. At the end of the war, encouraged by compliments on her keen fashion sense, Taylor launched her own label out of a barn in Stowe, Vermont. While working there she met the love of her life, Vernon “Moose” Taylor, Jr., who came in to purchase a pair of ski pants. The rest was history as the two became one of the most stylish, sought after couples of their time, traveling the world and enjoying homes in Montana, Denver, and Vail (they were original investors in the Vail ski resort). Bianca Jagger, profiled by legendary “Grand Dame of Dish” Liz Smith, is another iconic It Girl who, despite divorcing rock legend Mick Jagger, remains today as a force to be reckoned with. I remember my first sighting of her at Mortimer’s, when I was a young girl. She was the first person I witnessed who actually wore her “sunglasses at night” (classic aviators). Dripping with Studio 54–era ’70s glam, one might expect the beautiful divorcée of a Rolling Stone icon to trail off into the distance. But Bianca had larger goals in mind. Today, she is a prominent human rights and climate change advocate. In fact, there has rarely been a Counterclockwise, from top right: Nancy Gonzalez metallic micro flowers global issue affecting the rights and lives of people worldwide mini “Wallis” in crocodile; Ann Bonfoey Taylor decked out in a militaryto which Bianca Jagger has not fully committed herself. inspired ski ensemble on the slopes in Vail, Colorado, photographed by Toni Our latest edition of Q abounds with the top fashion Frissell, 1967; backstage at Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2016 fashion show; finds for the New Year (see Alex Travers’“Fresh off the Verdura’s gold, enamel, sapphire, ruby, pearl, and diamond Sunburst Runway”) and offers insider tips on who was watchable in cuff; Bianca Jagger at The Ritz premiere party at the Four Seasons restauthe rink (Elizabeth Quinn Brown’s “Memories On Ice”). rant in New York City, 1976; Sachin & Babi Noir’s poppy-printed floral Are you a Rangers or Canadians fan?

These days she’s been having fun with her website, which features 20 famous women: WowOWow.com (aimed at one of the most important demographics on the web—women who weren’t born yesterday!). In her latest column for Q, Liz takes a look at living legend Bianca Jagger. “Bianca was, once upon a time,” Liz writes, “neatly defined by the world as the glamorous wife of rock idol Mick Jagger. She was a fabulous ornament, who even resembled her husband a bit. But the reality behind the exotic façade was much more interesting.”

Elizabeth Quinn Brown > Elizabeth Quinn Brown serves as the features editor of Q and Quest, where she writes the “Young and the Guest List” column. For this issue, she interviewed a roster of readers about hockey—a sport she follows as a fan of the New York Rangers. Then, as beauty editor, she visited Kyle White (a.k.a., The Color Whisperer) at Oscar Blandi Salon, and compiled a spread with the best and, sometimes, the brightest of products for beautifying this winter... Elizabeth resides in the East Village, where she enjoys eating tacos from San Loco and wearing onesies.

80 Patrick McMullan > Longtime Quest and Q contributor Patrick McMullan’s work appears regularly in New York, Allure, Interview, Paper, Hamptons, and Ocean Drive. A contributing editor at Vanity Fair, McMullan’s landmark book, Kiss Kiss, is a compilation of over 1,000 black-and-white and color images from his vast body of work, capturing the famous, the infamous, the beautiful, the talented—and everyone in between—puckering up. You’ll spot him at downtown parties and uptown galas alike, or snapping Fashion Week both backstage and from the front row.

40 < Daniel Cappello is the fashion director of Quest and Q and the author of, most recently, Dinner Diaries: Reviving the Art of the Hostess Book (Assouline). In “Hitting The Slopes In Style” (pg. 50), he delves into The Stylish Life: Skiing (teNeues), a new release that’s truly on trend for winter. “Skiing has long captured our imagination,” Daniel writes, “from its earliest days as an adapted sport of the well-off, ever-playful Victorian Brits who quickly took to it on the hills of St. Moritz, right on into today, as celebrities and royals alike continue to elevate the glam factor on the pistes.”

58 < Alex Travers is the associate fashion editor of Q and Quest. In this issue, Alex visits Miami’s Wynwood Art District and chats with a young painter about exhibiting during Miami Art Week. He also reviews seven runway shows from the women’s Spring 2016 collections (pg. 84). “I think when I started covering the shows in New York I’d convinced myself I was obsessed with fashion and art and music,” he says, “but it was actually spending time with the designers, and asking them a ton of questions, that showed me I was really obsessed with stories of all kinds, and how they might be told.”

3 Meg Mundy, the English-born American actress and model, had music in her blood: her mother was the Australian opera singer Clytie Hine and her father was the English cellist John Mundy. When Mundy turned six, her parents relocated to the United States, where she would get the itch for the stage, though not singing opera. Her career has spanned Broadway, television, and film, making clear that her passion is and always has been acting. Whatever your passion, be sure to play the part in some new jewelry pieces you can call your own. And this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings, we think, were perfectly cast.

5 María Félix was considered one of the most important female figures of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, with a career that included 47 films made in Mexico, Spain, France, Italy, and Argentina. Hailed as one of the most beautiful actresses of her time, she was also one of the greatest erotic myths of Spanish-language cinema. It takes a strong personality to pull off a weighty jewelry look, as in this 1975 photograph showing Félix in her Cartier crocodile necklace and emerald ear clips. We believe in following Félix’s example and embracing the bold and the bright.

Boots For The Brave Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis knew how to make an entrance, even when it came to making an exit from a car. Sure, it helps to have a doorman waiting with an open umbrella to keep you fashionable and dry on an inclement day, but so does a smart pair of boots. This season, designers are offering it all when it comes to options, from the fashionably forward for the brave at heart, to the downright practical for the gal who has to jump a puddle or two on the commute to work.

Ahead With Heels Sophia Loren has always had legs to die for, and could draw attention to even the simplest of black shoes. Sometimes a plain shoe is what the occasion calls for, like J.Crew’s solid blue suede pumps, while others call for more splash and pizzazz (just look at master Manolo’s orange inspiration). Salvatore Ferragamo teams up with Edgardo Osorio for a vision in red, while L.K. Bennett and Roger Vivier are sticking to black and white.

1. L.K. BENNETT Perfect for pairing with cigarette pants and a silk blouse, the Bonnie by L.K. Bennett combines contrasting suede and leather to striking effect,

and is complemented by a chic pointed silhouette and 70-mm. heel; $375. 2. ROGER VIVIER The Belle Vivier Trompette giraffe-print haircalf pump features a metal buckle and the classic yet innovative design of a slanted Trompette heel; $1,150. 3. MANOLO BLAHNIK Punchy and bright, Manolo Blahnik serves up colorful suedes this season with the Caritas (shown) and Kailasus (similar, available at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,145). 4. SALVATORE FERRAGAMO Red suede and mesh heel by Edgardo Osorio for Salvatore Ferragamo; $750.

5. J.CREW A new take on an always-classic mid-heel, J.Crew’s Colette Suede D’Orsay pump comes in a wave of colors, including tidewater; $248.

Waist Not, Want Not Fashion in the 1950s favored an almost unnoticeable waistline while paying attention to the finest of details, from strategically placed brooches and veiled hats to weather-approapriate mink stoles and leather gloves. This winter, work your waistline by cinching on a luxurious new belt (L.K. Bennett’s Bambi does the trick for us), or slip on some lacey lingerie from La Perla.

Knockout Trimmings Jean-Paul Belmondo had his breakthrough role in Jean-Luc Godard’s 1960 iconic film À Bout de Souffle, leaving audiences breathless.

A Clutch Moment Farrah Fawcett, with her big, feathered blond hair, winning smile, and California tan, was the ultimate ’70s pin-up girl.

James Dean might have played a character who had issues winning his father’s approval in East of Eden (1955), but we can’t think of a man whose style we’d approve of faster. As Cal Trask, Dean donned comfy, form-fitting sweaters and collared shirts with smart and simple chinos. Casual elegance not only feels good on—it looks great, so don’t be afraid to pair elegant elements with more relaxed basics.

“A man who gets divorced is not going to be forever talked about because of it. There are very different standards that we have for women than we have for men.” That is Bianca Jagger, who might have added, “A man who gets married…etc.” Bianca was, once upon a time, neatly defined by the world as the glamorous wife of rock idol Mick Jagger. She was a fabulous ornament, who even resembled her husband a bit. She gave him one beautiful child, Jade, and despite a very serious approach to life, was categorized as a member of the “jet set,” a fixture

But the reality, always, behind the exotic façade was much more interesting (In my mind, I have often linked Bianca and Yoko Ono: two fascinating, underrated women, defined by the men they married. Yoko had the harder time of it as she was blamed for the breakup of The Beatles, before watching her husband, John Lennon, shot dead in front of her. But both women suffered the slings and arrows of the double standard.) Born to some privilege in Nicaragua, Bianca learned about the harsher realities of life after her parents divorced when she was 10. Her father was a well-off import-export merchant. But after the divorce, Bianca’s mother struggled with a small in-

accidental “wardrobe malfunction” as we would call it now. The white blouse she was wearing gaped open briefly giving the world a glimpse of her bare, perfect bosom. Or maybe it wasn’t accidental. It was very nice, however. The incident cemented her image as a wild woman, an exhibitionist, a perfect sensual match for the randy Mick. They traveled and partied and often looked happy, or at least sexy. But Bianca would later say, “My marriage ended on my wedding day!” They would divorce in 1978. Bianca claimed Mick had been unfaithful with model Jerry Hall. Indeed, he had been, and in time (a long time and a number of children later) Jerry would become the second Mrs. Jagger. Single, with the heat of the old Studio 54 days cooling down, Bianca made a few movies and T.V. appearances, all capitalizing on her beauty and her reputation as a worldly woman, possibly dangerous. The names of her characters say it all: The Sheik’s Sister…Madam Schrivers…Martini McQuickly…Francesca Delgada…Maya Kumara.

come, raising Bianca and her two siblings. Young Bianca was undeterred by her change in status. She worked hard to receive a scholarship, and studied at the Paris Institute of Political Studies. She traveled to India and immersed herself in the tenets of non-violence. She was, it seemed, the last person to become a media sensation. She was beautiful, yes. But the world is full of beautiful, young women. Being young, however, she did enjoy popular culture; not everything can be a study of Gandhi. She liked rocked music. She liked the Rolling Stones. After attending a Stones concert in France in 1970, she was among a crowd invited to meet lead singer Mick Jagger. He was properly impressed. And so, apparently, was she. (Mick is, away from his public image, intelligent, well-read, and sensitive. If he is not sensitive to the demands of marriage and fidelity, well—nobody’s perfect.) The following year, Bianca became the first Mrs. Jagger, in a media firestorm, in St. Tropez. She was four months pregnant. Of more interest even than her pregnancy (the media and the public were a tiny bit more innocent back then) was Bianca’s

But other things were on the burner. In 1979, Bianca visited her homeland, Nicaragua, accompanied by the Red Cross. She was horrified by the condition of her countrymen under the Somoza regime, and thus began a commitment to human rights that continues to this day. (Jagger also played a role in a terrifying incident in Honduras in 1981, where she and a U.N. delegation put themselves between 40 people slated for execution and an El Salvador death squad. The captives were released.) She opposed U.S. intervention in Nicaragua after the Sandinista revolution. She has spoken up vociferously against the death penalty, for women’s rights—particularly in countries where those rights are routinely trampled upon. She was out front fighting for the victims in the horrors of Bosnia and Serbia. She has worked to append war criminals and to raise further the issues of climate control. There has rarely been a global issue affecting the rights and lives of people worldwide in which Bianca Jagger has not been involved. She currently serves as a Council of Europe Goodwill Ambassador, is founder of the Bianca Jagger Human Rghts Foun-

I still see Bianca now and then, out and about in New York City. But it’s not like the good days when I’d glimpse her in her clinging Halston get-ups, with Andy and his crowd, glittering and dramatic, not appearing to have a serious thought in her head. (Well, who did in those days? Not I!) No, when I catch up with Bianca Jagger now, it’s better than the good old days. From falling out of her wedding dress to human rights activist, she’s traveled a road few could have imagined she’d take back in 1971. Bianca fashioned a supremely productive life out of fame that was based on nothing but her controversial husband, her superficial friends, an era of excess, and her striking bone structure. Sometimes one has to be silly—or to be perceived as silly—to become a real woman, a real person, a real benefit to the human race. u

Q51

“The best way to hunt a husband is on skis. A girl can look sexier in ski clothes than in a bathing suit.” So mused Fred Picard, the soi-disant international authority on glamour in the snow, in 1957 for the Spokane Daily Chronicle. If the endlessly enduring, glamorized notion of the “skiing life”— part jet-set, part no-mountain-too-high athletic bravura—is any proof, Mr. Picard was certainly on the money. There’s no

disputing the appeal of a bikini-clad model on the sands of St.Tropez, but the beach’s inherent laid-back languidness is no match for the speed, vigor, and stamina necessary for the snowcapped slopes. Add to that a body-hugging stretch ski suit, and the sex appeal is raised to new heights. Skiing has long captured our imagination, from its earliest days as an adapted sport of the well-off, ever-playful Victorian Brits who quickly took to it on the hills of St. Moritz, right on into today, as celebrities and royals alike continue to elevate the glam factor on the pistes. Who can forget Prince Rainier and Princess Grace taking their children for ski trips in

the French Alps, or Jacqueline Kennedy bringing Caroline and John to many a mountain top in the 1960s? Ernest Hemingway never looked happier than on the slopes at Gstaad, Switzerland, in the 1920s. Princess Diana—her blonde coiffe remaining gorgeously intact, her blue eyes catching reflected light from the snow—brought an undefinable effortlessness to the Alps in the ’80s and ’90s, along with droves of paparazzi to document it. Today, a quick Google tour on the subject leads to an Internet crawling with pages competing to define the ultimate or best ski scenes from the James Bond film series. Most recently, Daniel Craig scaled the peaks of Sölden, Austria, to film many scenes in the latest Bond flick, Spectre. Through each of these larger-than-life figures, perhaps we’ve been prone to project exalted versions of ourselves: braving the elements, donning a fun snowsuit, taking off downhill at superhuman speeds… propelled even further by that undeniable adrenaline rush that comes to anyone who’s ever tasted the Alpine air.

parka might even lurk your inner James Bond. That’s how cool—on every level, literal to metaphorical—skiing is. And we haven’t even touched upon the winter Olympics and all those athletes who make it look so easy—and who continue to evolve the sport by braving new ground and breaking new records. All of this is brilliantly captured in The Stylish Life: Skiing, a briskly illustrated book from teNeues Publishing Group with texts by Gabriella Le Breton. Beginning with the origins of skiing in China and Scandinavia, the book glides along to show how far the sport has come in attracting daring athletes, the chic and wealthy leisure class, and international royalty. On the technical side, Skiing highlights pioneering innovators who’ve

developed cutting-edge equipment that, over the years, has propelled skiing as a fiercely competitive spectator sport. On the cultural side, Skiing treats us to images of the well-groomed stars who’ve defined it as an aspirational lifestyle. Not only has skiing been influenced by fashion, art, and design, but it’s informed them as well, as Le Breton cleverly makes clear. The publication couldn’t have come at a better time, as we begin to think of and plan winter holidays, and it’s sure to inspire a trip or few to Chamonix or Megève. If you’re late to the game or can’t squeeze in a trip to the French or Swiss Alps this season, never fear—The Stylish Life: Skiing is sure to whisk you around the world all by itself. ◆

Memories On Ice by

“My recruiting key: I looked for people first, athletes second. I learned early on that you do not put greatness into people, but somehow try to pull it out,” said Herb Brooks, who coached Team U.S.A. to gold in the 1980 Winter Olympics. Here, the people (and athletes) of Quest, as they remember the greatness of their experience with hockey: Mike Doherty, Analyst at Barclays Investment Bank > Where did you play? I was a center for Phillips Exeter Academy and a wing for Colby College. > What do you consider the best game of your career? Scoring 8 points in two periods versus the Holderness School, which is known for their program. My coach, Dana Barbin, made me change into street clothes after the second period. The worst was when we lost 12-3 at Norwich University. I was at least -5 in the game. They had an awesome goal song, though. > What are your fondest memories? Rivalry games, like Exeter/Andover and Colby/Bowdoin. Also, hockey hair. > What is your relationship with the sport, today? I learned to never blame myself when I’m not scoring. I just blame the stick and, if it keeps up, I change sticks. I play at Chelsea Piers once a week, and my son will play in the NHL in, like, 25 years. Grant Hewit, Founder of Hudson Sutler and Streaker Sports > Where did you play? I grew up playing outdoor hockey in Summit, New Jersey, at the Beacon Hill Club, but I didn’t realize how special it was playing on an outdoor rink until later. I was a goalie up until high school, when I retired my pads. > What do you consider the best game of your career? It was in 1998, when I was in eighth grade.

dle-school team. We were playing a rival school and I don’t know where my glove hand came from that game, because most times I was a wet paper towel on my glove side! Glory days. > What are your fondest memories? Playing “pond” hockey with my brothers on a semi-frozen football field that got filled in the winter back in Chatham, New Jersey. > What is your relationship with the sport, today? I’m an entrepreneur and I look back at my involvement in hockey and other team sports and know they prepared me for this role. Sacrifice, leadership, working with a team—all these lessons are from sports. I’m a member of the board of Restore Sports, where we’re working to put as many kids into the sport of hockey as we can by providing no-cost or low-cost equipment. Timothy Meigher, Senior V.P. at Morgan Stanley > What’s your experience with the sport? I learned to skate at the age of five or six with my family at the bottom of a steep ravine next to our house. Later, I had the good fortune to be in Lake Placid in 1980 during the Olympics, when I was handed a ticket to the U.S.A. versus Russia game. I saw a group of wet-behindthe-ears college kids beat a group of grizzly, Russian army players—the best-skilled players in the world—with pure heart and passion. Do I believe in miracles? Yes, I do! That fueled my passion for the sport and I returned to Lake Placid in 1984 and 1988 for what has come to be known as the Frozen Four. 2014 marked my 20th Frozen Four. Hockey passion gets passed down like an heirloom! Our 11-year-old son, Connor, plays hockey at a high level. He attended a one-day hockey camp in Manhattan in late August hosted by New York Ranger goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, a.k.a. The King, and Connor had several exchanges with

him on the ice about hockey and their mutual love of the sport. Lundqvist has a Foundation that emphasizes the importance of developing a habit at a young age of performing community service. On the ride back to Albany, my wife and I challenged Connor to think of a community service project he could create and execute with our help. Connor chose to raise money to help homeless families as they get back on their feet. The response has been heartwarming and a valuable lesson for a young boy about the importance of sharing one’s wealth and good fortune. It’s amazing how one encounter on a sheet of ice with a great athlete—and equally great citizen—morphed into something so rewarding. > What’s your history with the sport? My mom’s uncle, Reed Kilpatrick, was an owner of Madison Square Garden and served as the General Manager of the New York Rangers when they won two Stanley Cups in 1933 and 1940. Needless to say, hockey is in our DNA—it’s a family thing! Andrew Edge, Associate M.D. at Sterling National Bank > Where did you play? I was a goalie for Phillips Exeter Academy and Wesleyan University, and I grew up playing hockey in Westchester and Fairfield counties. The best player I played against was the guy down in the other crease at Andover when I was at Exeter: Cory Schneider (who is now in the show with the New Jersey Devils). It’s always cool to know you had some of your best battles against a future pro. > What do you consider the best game of your career? The most memorable was Exeter/ Andover day my junior year. It was the opening game for their new rink and it was tied 0-0 after two periods, when the Zamboni driver crashed into part of the boards and destroyed the door. Everyone marched to the old rink, which featured a chainlink fence. We ended up winning 1-0, 11 seconds into overtime. The place went into an absolute frenzy. > What are your fondest memories? The camaraderie and times in the locker room, pre- and post-game. I’ve seen the toughest guys I’ve ever played with cry in the locker room and never bat an eye anywhere else. > What is your relationship with the sport, today? I learned that the quicker you move up in level, the better the competition and the shorter your time at the top. It’s very humbling. For the last six years, I’ve coached squirt and pee-wee teams in Greenwich, Connecticut. It’s an awesome experience to be on the other side of the game as a teacher and mentor.

Club and a right wing for the Avalanche in Hackensack, New Jersey. I remember playing with Bill Keenan and Steven Sherrill. > What do you consider the best game of your career? The Giuliani Cup in 1998. The team had really gelled by that point. > What are your fondest memories? Some of the outdoor games at Beaver Dam Winter Sports Club and Essex Hunt Club were quite memorable. Those games just have a different feel to them as you battle through the neutral zone with the wind in your face. Additional resistance is always welcome. > What is your relationship with the sport, today? I learned that hockey boils down to adapting to the situation as it unfolds quickly in front of you. Instincts and style of play will clash at times, but eventually they overlap. I have continued to play in Long Island City and at Lasker Rink in Central Park. I am very excited for Mark Messier’s project in Kingsbridge, which will provide nine rinks for the city. Joanna Scholtz, Executive Assistant at Hound Partners > Where did you play? My parents first put me in figure skating lessons when I was really little. After one week of that nonsense, I told them I wanted a stick and “real” skates. I played for my club and travel teams in Darien, Connecticut, and on the same teams as Olympians A.J. Mleczko and Julie Chu. > What do you consider the best game of your career? I was playing for the boys varsity team in ninth grade and we were at a tournament in Upland, Pennsylvania. A lot of smack was talked through the vents in the locker room, about how they were “out to get the ponytail.” I remember railing an opposing player into the boards with the most epic check and getting the puck for an assist. Shut them up, real quick. > What are your fondest memories? Finally lifting the puck, nailing a deke to go five-hole, and practicing a play—all of this while bonding with my teammates. I miss that. > What is your relationship with the sport, today? I’m probably one of the bigger advocates of the sport. I’ll tell anyone I know who has kids to send them on the ice. I continue to root for the New York Rangers and watch the NHL. Andrew Gale, Associate at Taconic Capital Advisors > Where did you play? I was a defenseman for Phillips Exeter Academy. I remember playing against Nate Kempner, who went to Deerfield Academy. He sits next to met at work. > What do you consider the best game of your career? The Tabor Academy game my junior year away, where I played extremely well and scored extremely well. U.S. Hockey Report said I was the best player on the ice by far, and their fans held up signs with inappropriate messages in front of my parents. > What are your fondest memories? Being in the locker room before games—dead silence with heads bowed—before skating onto the ice and getting hit with the cold rink air and hearing the crowd. Also, a big hit across the middle of the ice; a long pass to a breaking forward; and the feeling of a perfect slap shot. > What is your relationship with the sport, today? Teamwork and working toward a common goal benefits you everywhere in life. A transition in the game can happen so fast, so you have to be prepared for anything. You can take that lesson and apply it to so many areas of your life. u

Ann Bonfoey Taylor: Skier, Sportswoman & Style Icon

Ann Bonfoey Taylor’s son, Vernon III, remembers coming home from school one day to find his mother dressed to the nines “simply because she felt like it.” Wearing a chinchilla-trimmed silk-satin dress by Madame Grès, Ms. Bonfoey Taylor lingered in the hallway of her Denver home in 1967 (green was Bonfoey Taylor’s favorite palette for evening). Described by acquaintances and family as beautiful, fashionable, and gracious, Taylor was known for entertaining friends, including Britain’s Prince Philip, as well as his daughter, Princess Anne, when they made separate visits to Denver. She was also chosen to host the wives of world leaders when they were in town for 1997’s economic Summit of the Eight.

But Ann Bonfoey Taylor’s accomplishments went far beyond hostessing. Born December 3, 1910, in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, and raised in Quincy, Illinois, Ann fashioned a life of adventure. In the 1920s, at the age of 12, she began taking flight lessons—a skill she later applied during World War II, when she served as a flight instructor for Army and Navy air cadets. In 1928, Ann married James Negley Cooke, vice president of Roland Palmedo’s Mt. Mansfield Lift Company, and moved to Vermont (an early investor in Stowe, Palmedo went on to found Mad River Glen). Ever the sportswoman, the newly named Ann Cooke started competitive skiing in Stowe and acquired the nickname “Nose-Dive Annie” after mastering

Stowe’s precipitous Nose Dive Trail. Living up to her name, Ann joined the U.S. Women’s Olympic Ski Team in 1939. Widely known and complimented for her stylish looks on the ski slopes (Taylor pioneered the fanny pack for skiing!), Ann started her own line of innovative skiwear in the 1930s called Ann Cooke. Her designs appeared in many of the day’s most prominent fashion magazines, and even graced the cover of Harper’s Bazaar in 1946. In addition to her pilot skills and dexterity on the slopes, Taylor’s extraordinary aptitude for tennis led her to compete at Wimbledon. She was also an accomplished equestrian and regularly went fox hunting in England. After divorcing Cooke in 1947, Ann married oilman Vernon “Moose” Taylor, Jr., of Pennsylvania and Texas. The couple moved to Denver, and Ann became a full-time wife and mother. Described as “absolutely the most glamorous couple in Denver” by close friend Harriet Kelly, the Taylors maintained several homes in Montana and Colorado, and were legendary around the world for their graciousness and expertise as hosts. In 1963 they were among the founders of Vail, and built one of the first chalets in town, which became a favorite watering hole for the British Royal family. Together, they lived there with family and friends for 40 years.

Said former U.S. Olympian and freestyle ballet skier Suzy Chaffee, “Nose-dive Annie—the self-made, gutsy liberator of women, conqueror of Forest Hills, Vogue, and the Irish Fox Hunt, with a slightly naughty influence befitting a ski goddess, wife, and supermom—lives on in the hearts of Vermonters, Americans, and me… A little Vermont spitfire, she rose to become the Queen of the Downhill Dance.” Ann Bonfoey Taylor was regularly featured in Vogue, Town & Country, and Harper’s Bazaar from the 1930s through the 1970s, captured in photos by artists such as Edward Steichen, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, and Toni Frissell. In 2008, her collection of couture and custom-designed “sporting ensembles” was donated to Phoenix Art Museum. Balenciaga, Givenchy, and Madame Grès were among the many top names in fashion who helped bring Bonfoey Taylor’s unique and widely admired style into being.

Off The Grid At Art Basel by

Alex TrAvers

This page: A booth at the Untitled Art Fair, which is held at 1215 Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, Florida. > Opposite page: Inside Miami Beach’s Convention Center, Art Basel Miami Beach—in the heart of

South Florida’s emerging art scene—is in full swing.

It’s raining today, so instead of taking my scooter down to Miami Beach’s Convention Center to see the booths at Art Basel, I hail a cab and go to Miami’s Wynwood Art District. I haven’t spent much time there in the past, but this year I get the urge to thoroughly explore the area. There are many remarkable aspects to Wynwood: for instance, the way the district has commissioned muralists to freely decorate its public walls; the way it has brought together artists—both emerging and establishing—and collectors to an area once littered with neglected warehouses; the way its local shops and galleries, many now neighboring high-end retail brands, have thrived; the way it has gone from idea to inception in just a few short years. But the most remarkable element about Wynwood is that it seems to have given young artists a little more hope, or rather, a rare opportunity to show their works at a gallery and find out if they are ready to survive in today’s art world. This is important for two reasons. One is that it is an inspiring adventure for artists to present their work to the public and receive feedback. The other is that it can actually allow them to sell their pieces. Many Miami Art Week visitors, however, will not come to Wynwood. To be clear, I am not criticizing them. There is a lot to do

during Art Week. No one, no matter how ambitious, can see it all. And although the Wynwood galleries are not neglected by the art world, they do seem to be an afterthought to the primary shows—Art Basel Miami Beach, Scope, Nada, Untitled—and extravagant parties. (A footnote: I was impressed by Bombay Sapphire’s Artisan Series Competition, a smartly curated party that exhibited some stunning works by Sean Michael Warren, along with other emerging artists.) But by immersing yourself in this almost bizarre scene, this quickly growing art district, where waiters may attempt to sell you their artwork after they list the day’s specials, you are able to witness youthful creativity firsthand. In fact, with many of the works you see here, the paint is still drying. On the suggestion of a friend, we head over to 212 Gallery’s pop-up space tucked behind an unmakred Wynwood garage. Here, we meet Parsa Afsharjavan, 19, an artist who calls himself Sino. I watch Parsa hang a painting he plans to present at tonight’s 212 group show. The piece is called “The Four Frenchmen” and the four men portrayed look like spikyhaired Basquiat characters. Once Parsa is satisfied with the display, he comes down off the forklift and briefly explains his artistic ethos. In a sentence, he’s an abstract painter who WINTER 2016/

enjoys sketching “mystical creatures.” It’s easy to see that he has potential. He also has a delightfully strange sense of humor. Based on the phrases he’s chosen to write on many of his canvases, it appears that he believes we are occupying his creatures’ reality. “It’s their world,” he writes, “we’re just living in it.” As the day begins to ebb away, inside the gallery space, Parsa is putting the final touches on a mixed-media work he has decided to call “Rebellion.” Its composition is rather chaotic. He stands in front of it for the next few minutes, almost apprehensively, in his paint-splattered jacket, eyes fixed on the top right of the canvas. He wants to add something to “Rebellion,” and when my friends and I see what he’s about to do, there’s a bit of laughter. Still, he grabs the small Lego figurine on the floor, adds some glue to its feet, and places it in a cup fixed to the canvas. And I trust that when he turns to us all and says what he has to say, none of our reactions, whether enthusiastic or mocking, matter. “I’ve got to have Chewie in there, man!” u

Fresh Off The Runway by

Alex TrAvers

The summery sequels to these designers’ Resort 2016 collections were filled with romance—and Marc Jacobs shined a spotlight on cinematic costumes. > Dennis Basso As a companion to his Resort 2016 collection, a playful take on beachwear, Dennis Basso addresses the need for color this season. Of course, the designs are ornate, elaborate, and over-the-top, but no one with even a passing knowledge of Basso would expect anything less. Likewise, there are many furs—bonded to boleros, thrown over shoulders, stitched to crocodile coats—that make appearances in his Spring collection. Though some of the clothes here are very functional—sunny shift dresses, breezy chiffon maxis—for the most part his collection tells a compelling story about the allure of dressing up to excess. In a time where the word “irreverent” is annoyingly popular in the fashion community, where appearance seems to be about the effort you’re not making, Basso lauds the opposite of that ethos. If the designer’s unstated fashion script for his women is to wrap themselves up in the most expensive fabrics available, it’s only because wearing these kinds of clothes must evoke feelings of fearlessness, of fun, of confidence. Perhaps, in his mind, we are all still living a golden age of peacockery. Haters can dismiss his style as loud and unrepresentative of today’s style. But the rest of us can enjoy his consistently romantic view of the present.

> Delpozo Seeing the name Josep Font means you’re in for a unique blend of color and architecture, with just the right amount of cerebral clarity at the core. Font—the Delpozo creative director who fought long and hard to get the 40-year-old Spanish brand on the New York Fashion Week schedule—doesn’t design collections according to trend. Sure, that may hurt him commercially. And sure, his sculptural clothes can sometimes appear rigid or foreign. But during a Delpozo presentation, you can always feel Font searching for a way to elevate the meaning of a fashion show, working out how to transmute textures and fabrics and visual scenery, desperate to transcend a style of showmanship that may try to mute his bold vision. With Font, limits are always stretched, risks always taken. And no matter the immediate outcome or perception, he is at his very best when he shows his audience what it is to be a designer lifted free by the sense of possibility we have all glimpsed in fashion. By consistently soaring above the constraints of clothing, he becomes an expert at shaking us off balance, proving his innate ability to give vivid life to very wearable clothes. > Carolina Herrera You can wait around and hope that designers will stop presenting collections in gutted warehouses or homogenous show spaces. But they usually won’t. So when they announce a venue like the Frick Collection, you’d be wise to go and watch. Herrera is actually the first designer to show at the Frick. And while the space, with its baronial austerity, calls for formality, Herrera defies her surroundings by showing a colorful collection of freshly styled daywear. Most of her outfits are pink, but it helps that Herrera uses pleats and topstitches to give each look its own character. When they do make appearances, her evening gowns are perfectly marvelous, shrewdly blending sheer fabrics with sturdy, shapely reserve. (One of the gowns was shown on a tattooed model—a casting move I’ve never noticed from Herrera.) All in all, it’s a dazzling dream of a collection from the designer who continues to evolve her fabrics while sticking with her winning silhouettes.

love of French and American resort destinations.

> Ralph Lauren Ralph Laruen’s steady stream of fashion—Ralph Lauren Collection, just one of his women’s lines, offers up four presentations a year—never fails to excite, especially when it feels personal. This season, Lauren’s women take to the sea, dressed in long skirts and loose pants that billow like nautical flags in the open breeze. Like Western movies, which he referenced last season, these ocean cities and towns, whether real or fictional, are dear to the designer’s heart. His collection this season, a romantic one, makes you want to pack a bag and head to Nantucket or Nice. That sense of spontaneous adventure is actually the setup for Lauren to showcase his clothes in different color categories that highlight his love for American and French resort destinations or characters from the books and films he adores. The looks hopscotch from resort-y day wear—racer back tops with blue and white stripes, double-breasted blazers—to nautical eveningwear, if that’s even a thing. Basically, beautiful floor-length gowns that feature the same blue and white awning stripes as those racer tops. There are plenty of cork shoes and straw bags as well. Really, he doesn’t forget a thing. (Although lovely in their textures, his buttery caramel-color leathers—and there were plenty of them—seemed to disrupt the show’s key pieces: those in bright, almost patriotic reds, whites, and blues.) For Lauren, who set aside a specific time period reference this seasons to show he can produce colors and shapes that feel entirely modern, the nautical collection feels natural. And when he’s not blindly loyal to the past, his collections really shine. > Adeam Each season, I see Adeam designer Hanako Maeda make huge strides. Her shows get stronger. And her clothes look more nuanced—especially the way she uses cutting and layering to add a unique finesse to her dresses. Sure, she sometimes aims too high and the resulting pieces feel overdesigned. But her relentless curiosity and deft experiments often yield clothes that no one else could dream of creating.

> Marc Jacobs Finding a fashion equivalent for cinema’s heyday is a seductive temptation—not to mention building an emotional narrative around it. So Marc Jacobs scores points for trying to give our eyes and minds a workout with a Spring 2016 collection that explodes the runway show formula. Staged at the Ziegfeld Theater, the clothes—a mix of floor-sweeping sequins, grungy chambrays, and dresses printed with the face of a screaming Janet Leigh—flawlessly fit in with their setting. Shoulders are too big. Shorts are too short. Slits are too revealing. Yet it’s all maddeningly provocative. As usual, Jacobs works wonders with traditional fabrics, especially when he sullies stiff tweeds with radical, graffiti-like embroideries. But the stars of the seasonal collection, even if they aren’t really seasonal, are his sweaters—oversized, pleated, varsity-printed, and with sleeves so long they could easily be tied behind the back to resemble a straight jacket. It’s the stuff his dreams are made of, and he never holds back, making his presentations unforgettable. And yes, he deserves every superlative. In a show that bursts with energy, it feels as though he wants to do more than just relive a few cinematic moments stuck in his head. Through the designer’s use of literal images—Bette Davis’ face, popcorn box–striped Betty Grable shorts—we can feel his love for films and fashions past,

Indeed, its latest Spring collection proves that Felipe Oliveira Baptista is the ideal creative director for preserving the playful, sporty spirit of Lacoste’s outfits. Baptista revels in sport references, especially those of golf and tennis, and he’s no stranger to dressing elite athletes; this year, Lacoste will again outfit the French team in the Summer Olympic games. This collection offers a preview of what’s to come, and it doesn’t disappoint. u

Kyle White, the colorist at Oscar Blandi Salon, is known for emboldening his clients (and their hues) through his wealth of expertise and talent. Hair, to him, isn’t dead—it’s dynamic. He endorses the adage “Dark for Winter, Light for Summer,” explaining, “Replace that warmth from summer with your hair color, because warming your hair can warm your face. You want contrast between your complexion and your hair color. Think about how wearing different clothing can influence your coloring and encourage a rosy glow.” In terms of trends,

Kyle White notes: “It’s more about multi-tonal hair, with lots of roots on blondes and lots of dimension. It’s multicolor hair, and vibrant shades. Color like you mean it.” Here, we chat with The Color Whisperer about caring for your hair—colored or not:

This spread, clockwise from above left: Kyle White, the lead colorist at Oscar

1. Skip The Shampoo: Plan to wash between one and three times per week, relying on Oscar Blandi’s “dry” shampoo for freshening. White adds, “Definitely do not brush when it’s wet. You want to be very gentle, using a detangler and a wide-tooth comb.” And invest in a T3 Source Showerhead Filter (which removes chlorine) to preserve your color and protect your stands.

clothes in the dryer.” And don’t use a metal brush, which can cause damage by conducting heat.

2. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize: Condition by creating a mask with coconut oil. “Also, when we talk about moisture for hair, we refer to treatments,” shares White. “But you can sleep with a humidifier, so that you’re plumping from the inside out as well as from the outside in—and it’s good for your skin!” 3. Protect And Conquer: Remember a protectant when styling with heat because, as White explains, “Color can fade, like

4. Beware Of Breakage: Scarves can cause breakage at the nape of the neck, so opt for fabrics like cashmere and silk. And, during the season of events—a.k.a. the season of updos—choose clips over elastics. 5. Beauty On The Inside: Supplement your regimen with “vitamins” like Biotin, Omega-3, and Viviscal. 6. Request The Works From Your Colorist: Products like L’Oreal’s “Ammonia-Free Lightening Paste” and Olaplex are revolutionary, because they preserve the integrity of hair.

When it comes to formal dressing, sometimes it’s a black-and-white affair. Sticking to these two most basic colors always ensures a sense of sophisticated elegance. Think Carolina Herrera in her white starched blouses and flowing black skirts, or the regalness of a black-andwhite ball. Choosing a timeless black or white dress usually means you can keep it in your closet for years to come, but every now and then it’s fun to go for a mix of the two, such as Dennis Basso’s palm-print dazzler, shown here. 1. ERWIN BLUMENFELD was one of the go-to fashion photographers of the 1940s and ’50s, and it’s no wonder why: he could have a ball with the simplest of black dresses. 2. VERDURA String on Verdura’s black pearl, diamond, and platinum Tassel Sautoir. Price upon request. 3. L.K. BENNETT Step out in L.K. Bennett’s Bambi heel in smoke black. $295. 4.

Here, she is pictured on March 21, 1956, with MGM publicist Morgan Hudgins at the RKO Pantages Theatre for the 28th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood.

Bathed in bird-like plumes from the neck to the arms on down, her ensemble made for a most fashionable and wonderfully theatrical entrée, worthy of even the most avant-garde of Swan Lake productions. Being daring carries the risk of being absurd, but confidence and a killer attitude are what getting gussied-up are all about, and this Golden Globe entrance is a good reminder of that. We were smitten by Ann-Margret’s plume-like pizzazz and found a beautifully billowy dress and adorned accessories to recreate her effect for today. 2.

Capricorn Dec. 22 to Jan. 19 You’ve been wearing less and going out more—and it’s been noted by most. Some of the attention has been positive (from beaus) and some of the attention has been negative (from BFFs). But so what? Do you, whether that means doing less or doing more. > Dolly Parton: January 19, 1946

The market (well, the “meet” market) is strong. Why would you choose to hibernate in your apartment? March yourself to a bar with a buddy for cocktails and conversation. Say hello to going out on the town—and hello to a year of love! > Clark Gable: February 1, 1901

You’re experiencing a burst of energy—what an opportunity! Maybe you commit to exercising before work, or maybe you decide on a series of all-nighters to write your novel. Whatever your mission, you’ve accepted it. The stars are expecting great things from you... > Mick Jagger: July 26, 1943

Pisces Feb. 19 to Mar. 20 Ice is “nice” but you, dear Pisces, prefer water to be liquid. You crave a break from the snow, yearning for a weekend on an island. It’s OK to devote your savings to your sanity. And, perhaps, it’s OK for a “benefactor” to be the means to your end. > Elizabeth Taylor: February 27, 1932

Virgo Aug. 24 to Sept. 22 You could receive a knowing look—from a passerby, or even his dog—and it will remind you of a friend from when you were a child. Is that your BFF, reincarnated? No, it’s your 2016 BFF. Go on and make an introduction. Maybe bacon will do the trick... > Lauren Bacall: September 16, 1924

Aries Mar. 21 to Apr. 19 Christmas has come and gone, and your home is brimming with unwanted presents. Treat your relationships like these items, by abandoning the ones that you don’t need. You know that the last thing you need in your life is more clutter. > Doris Day: April 3, 1924

Libra Sept. 23 to Oct. 22 You were being “good” during the holidays, without indulging in treats like cakes and chocolates. No resolutions about exercise and nutrition for you, fair Libra! That said, discipline is overrated—and you’ve earned a dessert (or two). Remember to treat yourself. > Greer Garson: September 29, 1904

Taurus Apr. 20 to May 20 You may be going to hell in a bucket, babe, but at least you’re enjoying the ride... Remember to be considerate of others in the midst of your revelry—which means more than saying, “Thanks” when they hold your hair back after an evening of shots, shots, shots. > Jack Nicholson: April 22, 1937

Scorpio Oct. 23 to Nov. 21 Albert Camus wrote, “In the midst of winter, I finally learned there was, within me, an invincible summer.” You’re discovering a strength, a perseverence, at the heart of your being. You’re a force, dear Scorpio. Shine from within, whatever the weather. > Vivien Leigh: November 5, 1913

Gemini May 21 to June 20

Sagittarius Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Awards season is approaching but there’s no reason to shoot for the “Best Actress” award. Be honest with you friends (and with yourself) because, with the harsh flashes on the red carpet, the truth is revealed. Remember that the best performances are from the heart! > Marilyn Monroe: June 1, 1926

Summer seems like a fairy tale in that it happened once upon a time, in a land far, far away... Don’t succumb to SAD! Pop a Vitamin D and be proactive about your plans for June, July, and August. Maybe start to organize your share with friends (and friends of friends) in the Hamptons... > Frank Sinatra: December 12, 1915

/ WINTER 2016

The months of winter don’t just bring colder weather. If you’re not careful, they could also bring a cold heart. Be cautious that you aren’t closing yourself off to new opportunities and new relationships. Sometimes you have to give a little to gain a lot. Namaste. > Jerry Hall: July 2, 1956
