HISTORY LARUSMIANI

LARUSMIANI was founded by Guglielmo Miani Sr. in 1922 and is now the oldest clothing and tailoring brand on Via MonteNapoleone. LARUSMIANI expertly combines absolute quality and elegance with strictly Italian hand craftsmanship: the portrait of the classic gentleman with a contemporary twist, pursuing the dictates of style while incorporating change and innovation.

In 2015 LARUSMIANI brought Aldo Lorenzi’s know-how and collection from the legendary boutique at Via MonteNapoleone 9 to its own boutique at Via MonteNapoleone 7. The Gentleman Essentials includes everything from knives and tableware to lighters, toiletry articles and shaving kits, and it is growing every year thanks to LARUSMIANI’s ongoing research and the craftspeople jealously guarding Aldo Lorenzi’s know-how who now work for LARUSMIANI.

Every single item is made by hand by expert craftspeople, using carefully selected natural materials to create the perfect combination of form and function, perfectly adapted to the taste for tailoring, authentic craftsmanship and attention to detail typical of LARUSMIANI.

LARUSMIANI Boutique in St. Barths is at Hotel Le Sereno.

Beauté Naturelle

Prenez un peu de recul, loin des paillettes et du glamour, pendant un moment. Il faut absolument voir ce qu’il y a hors des sentiers battus. Saint Barth est peut-être une toute petite île, mais elle a beaucoup de choses sympathiques à découvrir. Plages isolées et piscines naturelles. Vues exquises sur la mer des Caraïbes et l’océan Atlantique, avec leurs bleus et leurs eaux kaléidoscopiques. De longues promenades sur les collines et les crêtes. La beauté naturelle de l’île vous invite à profiter de sa flore et de sa faune. Prenez le temps de savourer les fleurs tropicales. Mettez-en une derrière votre oreille, enlevez vos chaussures et profitez du style de vie décontracté de Saint Barth !

NATURAL BEAUTY

Take a step back, away from the glitz and the glamour for a moment. Definitely see what’s off the beaten path. Saint Barth may be a tiny island but it has a lot of cool things to discover. Secluded beaches and natural pools. Exquisite views of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean with their kaleidoscopic blues and aquas. Long walks up and down the hillsides and across ridges. The island’s natural beauty beckons you to enjoy its flora and fauna. Take time to savor the tropical flowers. Tuck one behind your ear, kick off your shoes, and enjoy the laidback lifestyle of Saint Barth!

THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO FLY.

It is flying that is an extension of what you value not an interruption of it.

Less harrowing than flying commercial.

More intimate than flying private.

IT’S FLYING PERSONAL.

And once you’ve done it, you’ll never want to fly any other way.

THOMAS & ANTIGUA.

An Eye On Beauty

Photographer Antoine Verglas, born in Paris, based in New York City. He has a sharp eye and captures the essence of the person in front of his lens, be it in the studio or in nature— especially the beaches and rugged landscapes of Saint Barth, where he spends part of the year. Aesthetically savvy, he moves fluidly through the world of fashion, often doing magazine shoots for with star models for lingerie and swimwear, as well as haute couture for such publications as Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, GQ Maxim, Sports Illustrated, Vogue, and others.

Verglas attended France’s prestigious E.S.C. business school. After graduating, he started his career on the other side of the camera as a host for a popular French television show, later transitioning into fashion photography. Early in his career, he worked with budding supermodels at their homes, adding Linda Evangelista, Stephanie Seymour, Claudia Schiffer, and Cindy Crawford to his portfolio of stunning black and white

images that appeared in French Elle . His technique is to find lighting that embellishes his subjects and enhances their beauty.

Inspired by certain photographers like Peter Lindberg, Patrick Demarchelier, and Herb Ritts, Verglas likes true, natural beauty, as well as high fashion and elegance. He spends his time between St. Barth, East Hampton, Paris, and New York City, with his wife, Christiane Celle, and two sons, Julien and Adrien. In 2008, after selling Calypso St. Barth, he and Celle co-founded the concept store, Clic Gallery. Verglas has published two books of his work: “Showgirl” (Gravure 2011) and “Untitled” (Clic 2013).

More recently the photographer has turned to filmmaking, and Antoine Verglas Studio Productions opened the LA Shorts Fest with Green Kola , a film he produced and stars in. Green Kola won the Grand Jury Prize, out of 80 films, for Best Short Film at the Paris Independent Film Festival, Best Comedy Short Film at the Manhattan Film Festival, and Special Jury Award Honorable Mention at the Be Epic London Film Festival. He is now working on a feature movie, A Hollywood Story. All in the “Verglas Signature” style!

Excellence Épicurienne

Une chose est sûre, vous n’aurez jamais faim à Saint Barth. Et ce n’est pas tout : les restaurants gastronomiques abondent, avec des chefs fantastiques qui créent des plats français, italiens, fusion et créoles parmi lesquels on trouve d’autres traditions culinaires, servies au bord de la plage et dans des jardins luxuriants. La saison démarre avec le St Barth Gourmet Festival, qui réunit une brochette de chefs étoilés issus des plus grands restaurants du monde pour travailler main dans la main avec les chefs de l’île. Sans oublier les charmantes boulangeries aux arômes délectables, le meilleur champagne et le meilleur vin français, ainsi que le rhum régional. Et la meilleure chose à faire au déjeuner est de décider où l’on va dîner !

EPICUREAN EXCELLENCE
