Love Stories Set in Stone
T
hroughout his lifetime, Mr. Winston believed that behind every great diamond was a fascinating story. That diamonds, like people, were most precious for their individuality. And that our most meaningful moments should be marked with jewels so exquisite and rare that they would forever serve as glittering reminders of our most cherished memories. One of Mr. Winston’s greatest gifts was to impart his fascination with the beauty, the romance, the majesty and the mystique of great gemstones to a clientele that ranged from heads of state to Hollywood stars. Harry Winston’s renowned collection of rare jewels has been compared with those amassed by royal houses and governments alike. Since 1932, some of Harry Winston’s most extraordinary diamonds have played a prominent role in commemorating some of the greatest romances of our time, from expressions of love— such as the flawless pear-shaped stone presented to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton; to symbols of commitment—like the legendary Lesotho III diamond engagement ring given to Jacqueline Kennedy by Aristotle Onassis; to one of-a-kind jewels, for once in a lifetime celebrations.
“ A good diamond is a possession to be prized for generations.…” – Mr. Harry Winston
When you purchase a Harry Winston engagement ring, our legacy becomes yours.
A
Harry Winston engagement ring is held to the highest and most exacting quality standards in the industry. Throughout every step of the process, we inspect each ring, beginning with the initial design and continuing to the moment before it is placed in our salon’s case. Our quality assurance professionals painstakingly pore over each ring, ensuring that it has been flawlessly crafted. Instilled in every Harry Winston diamond is an incredible sense of pride, grounded in decades of experience and tradition.

SANDS AND SHORES
T
ucked between the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west, Sunny Isles Beach is known as Florida’s Riviera. Spanning over
2 miles, the white sandy beaches and clear-blue waters make Sunny Isles Beach a private utopia for all who know it - and few resorts in the world can claim the same extraordinary beach and coastline as that of Acqualina. Situated right on the sand, Acqualina gives guests and residents unparalled access to powdery soft sands and the calmest, brilliant blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Beach umbrellas, plush lounges, and beach butler service are just a few of the many indulgences that make Acqualina’s beach one of the most treasured and pristine in the area. In full view of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, the three sea level swimming pools at Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach are each a sparkling oasis of cool, refreshing enjoyment. Each swimming pool offers a different experience for guests to relax and soak in the sun.

“I LOVE
Linen ”
100%Capri - The fashion and household linen brand - was generated by the talent of Tony Aiello, a brilliant young businessman who succeeded in creating a brand that has rapidly become synonymous with Italian craftsmanship. Linen, the quintessential fiber of vegetable origin, is good for the skin and cares for the body of those who wear it, enveloping them in the snowy caress of soft fabric. The use of linen is perfectly integrated in the philosophy of 100%Capri, since the attention to the environment is not a derived from a passing trend but is an authentic corporate lifestyle that sets the natural element at the core, starting from the raw material used right through to the creation of the products. And we’re not talking only about fashion creations or the household linens, but about all the little details, such as the
exclusive shopping bags and made up in pure linen. Tony’s genuine strong point is that he has managed to take this lifestyle from Capri to all over the world. In fact in 2008 he landed in Bal Harbour, with Flagship Store in the most luxurious mall in the United States, The Bal Harbour Shops and 100% Capri has stores in St. Barth, Roma, Sicily, South Africa, Beverly Hills, Firenze, Ibiza and will open this fall in Dubai. “I love linen. Linen is a timeless beauty in its purity and perfection. To me linen means eternal youth and an escape to the Mediterranean landscape of
my home in Capri. My personal pride is in our exclusive materials. We have searched the world over to deliver to you the finest fibers which are weaved and tailored by the experienced hands of our artisans. Our timeless style and design is an expression of elegance but most importantly freedom. 100% Capri is 100% Natural - It’s a pure pleasure to wear.” Thus is it is the felicitous combination of linen and the magic of the Island of Capri that gives rise to the man/woman/child collection of 100% Capri, allowing those who wear them to live in a dream.
AVENTURA MALL
A Curated Collection of Shopping, Dining, Culture and Entertainment
Rendering of “Aventura Slide Tower” by © Carsten Höller in front of the mall’s new wing
A
ventura Mall is more than just a collection of boutiques. It’s the centerpiece of the Aventura community - an architectural and design gem that provides visitors with an unrivaled shopping experience.
One of the country’s most visited shopping destinations, the center boasts hundreds of the world’s most iconic, recognized brands and designers. To meet the demands of its discerning, global customers, Aventura Mall constantly enhances its already substantial luxury retail lineup, which includes, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Givenchy, Fendi, Tiffany & Co., CHANEL Fragrance & Beauty, Burberry, Bally, Emilio Pucci, St. John, Anne Fontaine, Brooks Brothers, and more. In addition, Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom provide access to sought-after brands such as Christian Louboutin, Prada, Chanel, Valentino, Chloé and Ferragamo.
Aventura Mall’s Gucci boutique invites customers to feel welcome and relaxed with a discreet interior design that results in a space that entices, surprises and feels personal to Gucci. The boutique showcases a wide selection of men’s and women’s shoes, handbags, travel accessories, small leather goods, men’s leather goods, jewelry and accessories, and one of the brand’s largest children’s ready-to-wear collection and accessories. The magnificent, two-level Louis Vuitton Maison flagship features exquisite interior appointments, including a grand staircase with handrails wrapped in the brand’s signature print leather. Intimate shopping rooms, along with an extensive collection of leather goods, fashion apparel and shoes, provide a true luxury experience. Visitors to Aventura Mall also are drawn to the expansive Cartier store. The renowned brand, welcomes guests with breathtaking chandeliers
and glistening display cases of stunning jewelry and intricate watches. The full-line boutique also features the brand’s finest collections, as well as its signature fragrances and accessories. The shopping center is also the setting for Arts Aventura Mall, a world-class contemporary art collection. It’s a cultural experience – one the New York Times proclaimed “might be the nation’s first contemporary art shopping mall.” Among a dozen thought-provoking pieces are Eye Benches by Louise Bourgeois, Back of a Snowman by Gary Hume, Moonrise by Ugo Rondinone, Florida’s Soul by Jaume Plensa and Untitled by Jorge Pardo. And the Aventura experience is about to be further enhanced. A new three-level, 315,000 square-foot expansion wing will debut in late 2017, creating an inviting exchange between the indoors and outdoors. The new wing will provide a dynamic shopping and dining experience blended with experiential additions to Arts Aventura Mall, including a nearly 93-foot tall sculpture by renowned artist Carsten Höller that Aventura Mall visitors will be able to slide down. Highlighting the new wing will be a two-level Topshop Topman store, marking the British brand’s arrival to Miami, as well as the muchanticipated return of Zara to Aventura Mall.
Dining will be another focal point of the new wing. An open-air, lushly-landscaped piazza will provide shaded, inside-outside dining experiences from an array of restaurants and cafes featuring a variety of cusisines. Situated on the third level, a new Food Hall will be a welcome departure from traditional food courts, featuring a curated collection of more than a dozen purveyors for guests to enjoy. Perched atop Aventura Mall’s expansion, the 7,000+ square-foot VIP Lounge will serve as a luxurious home away from home. Flowing from

the beautifully landscaped rooftop terrace, the transportive oasis provides a private ambiance and refines the interior/exterior interplay experienced throughout the wing. The VIP Lounge will open in spring 2018. “Our vision is to create a new gathering place where local residents and international guests can connect with an array of interactive experiences,” said Jackie Soffer, Co-Chair and CEO of Turnberry Associates, owner and manager of Aventura Mall. “The new wing is destined to become one of South Florida’s most dynamic spaces.” An unparalleled destination, Aventura Mall is always evolving to ensure a unique experience on every visit.
J.W. COOPER: OTHER LIKE NO
If having what no one else has is essential to you, then J.W. COOPER is where you need to be.
S
hopping is an expression of oneself. We head out in search of something extraordinary to call our own, only to return less than wowed. Why? Because so much of what’s available today is the same.
Not true at J.W. COOPER at Bal Harbour Shops. Here, surprising is its specialty. The unexpected is always found and “made by hand” is embedded in its authenticity. A purveyor of original and superior quality accessories, collectibles and custom items, J.W. COOPER has been redefining the men’s and women’s high-end accessory market for more than 35 years. Not only is every item in this gallery-inspired boutique a work of museum-worthy art, each piece is created by an artist. J.W. COOPER goes to great lengths to source artwork unlike any other and works in tandem with various artists to create exclusive objects (offered in the store or for sale). From its famed belt and buckle collection – presenting more than 250 styles for men and women – to its coveted skulls, sculptures, jewelry, bags and luggage, there’s something for everyone at J.W. COOPER. Where else can you find dress belts that pair 14- and 18-karat gold, and sterling silver with stingray, alligator, lizard and ostrich? Adorned, engraved and filigreed with stones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, lapis and red tiger eye, they are the epitome of elegance.
W
hat other luxury locale showcases one-of-a-kind, handcarved buckles born out of the most exotic materials like fossilized mammoth ivory (10,000 to 50,000 years old), mother of pearl, black jet and fire agate for an expression all their own? The trophy buckles found at J.W. COOPER introduce the ultimate opportunity to demonstrate personal style in the most unusual and memorable way.
And, how about the J.W. COOPER skull collection? Featuring skullthemed buckles, jewelry and fine art sculptures, it speaks for itself. Imagine donning a skull ring crafted of 18-karat gold, diamond and sapphires. Fascinating to many, the skulls of J.W. COOPER have a following that is spellbinding.
“There’s no one else doing what we’re doing” Todd Rauchwerger, CEO of J.W. COOPER.
“I want to consistently offer something different to those who have done and seen it all and to those who value the original and collect special items for themselves. Moreover, our accessories are fitting for every personality and situation, from the boardroom to city streets to leisurely weekends away. In our opinion, being surprised is what keeps people feeling alive. We specialize in this feeling, and it is the heart of what we do. At J.W. COOPER, each piece tells a story, enticing collectors. This is obvious from the outside looking in. Greeted by a custom-designed Harley-Davidson, complete with a glass mosaic of Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night, guests will enjoy a boutique as imaginative as its goods, making the experience what it’s supposed to be – all about the very distinctive you.

DISCOVER THE WORLD THROUGH THE LENS OF PETER LIK
GETTING THE PERFECT SHOT
Peter’s life and career as a landscape photographer would be nothing without the strong determination of his parents, who barely escaped the harsh realities of their homeland of the Czech Republic after WWII, for a better life on the beautiful continent of Australia. Thanks to their incredible fortitude, Peter grew up surrounded by the most breathtaking landscapes on the planet. Rivers, forests, deserts, beaches, mountains, and the Great Barrier Reef completely set the stage for the Artist’s strong and powerful connection to the natural world – a connection that drives him to this day.

The truly pivotal moment that set Peter on a course to become a photographer, occurred when he was only eightyears-old. His humble and hardworking parents bought him the “eye-widening” birthday gift of a Kodak Brownie camera. His first snapshot ever was of a spider web, glistening with morning dew in the family garden. Without any prompting and on instinct alone, Peter clicked the shutter and his future
Around the turn of the millennium, Peter’s collector base began to grow significantly, along with his portfolio of galleries – all of which he has personally designed himself. First came LIK Lahaina in 2003, Peter’s longest running gallery, which was well received by Maui locals and tourists alike. That success led to a opportunity in Las Vegas, where he opened LIK Caesars, “a total dream come true” for the Artist. From there, it was only onwards and upwards. Gallery after gallery began to pop-up around the nation – marking a true success story completely driven by Peter’s unending passion for the world’s greatest artist, Mother Nature. Throughout a remarkable career that spans over 30 years, Peter has sold countless works to a highly devoted audience of international collectors. He has made history with recordbreaking sales, and he has been recognized by some of the most reputable institutions in the world. But, none of this compares to the joy of doing what he loves every single day – capturing and sharing the most beautiful places on earth. To learn more, visit lik.com.

flashed before his eyes. Destiny had found him. That moment is forever burned into his “brain, heart, and soul” – a moment he still draws from. A little over a decade later, Peter was finally able to pursue photography as something more than just a dream. He doubled up on jobs – working anywhere he could, just to be able to buy film and snap off a few shots in his spare time. He began to do anything he could to make his passion and career one and the same, including selling to a small local collector base, which quickly affirmed his innate talents. In the Artist’s late twenties, he made his first trip to the States. It was 1984 – the year that everything would change once again. While in Alaska, Peter encountered another professional photographer working in the panoramic format, an ideal medium for capturing landscapes in their entirety. Peter was instantly “floored” by the results it produced and wasted no time mastering its wide field of view. Since then, panorama has become his calling card, a style by which his known and praised for, and he has never looked back. For years afterwards, Peter continued studying the raw, diverse beauty of the United States, which he had been longing to capture since childhood; it is reflected in his well-regarded fine art photography book, Spirit of America, which explores the magic of all 50 states. However, it was the American Southwest that truly grabbed Peter’s full attention, the subject of many of his greatest masterworks, such as the Grand Canyon, White Sands National Monument, Death Valley, and Horseshoe Bend. Therefore, it is no surprise that Las Vegas was chosen as the perfect, central location to set up LIK USA headquarters, where Peter could remain among a photographer’s paradise.

New York has been known as the global hub for cosmetic dentistry for the international community since the emergence of smile makeovers. Between 60,000 to 80,000 patients travel to New York and other American Cities for advanced dental treatment from other countries annually. Most of the patients are from the Middle East and South America. Dr. Lee Gause is going against the tradewinds to bring amazing dental services to people in far away places, rather than forcing patients to travel to far away continents for care. Although he is 90% in New York at his posh dental practice Smile Design Manhattan recent demand in places as far as Kazakstan, or Dubai have caused Dr. Gause to take his dental team and expertise “on the road.� Although initially, it may not seem worth it to take a 20 hour flight to see patients halfway across the globe, the extreme need for beautiful and healthy smiles and scarcity of advanced cosmetic dental service globally has both Dr. Gause and his international patients smiling.
