LUXURY ART BOOK 2012
THE LINEN WRINKLES Wrinkles are sexy
100% Capri, the prestigious brand of men's, women's and children's fashion plus home and boat linens and accessories, was spawned by the talent and entrepreneurial flair of Toni Aiello. In just a few years the brand has acquired international status, becoming a shining banner for the exclusive taste of Capri. 100% Capri spells top Italian craftsmanship, showcasing the adroit tailoring that can deliver garments synonymous with sweetness and joie de vivre. The new collections enhance the lightness and purity of linen by exploiting essential, straight lines, where style does not attempt to predominate over the quality of the fabric, but reveals itself through subtle clues, details that express the loving care devoted to each individual garment: hand-stitched seams, mother-of-pearl buttons and embroidered initials are the perfect finishing touches for clothes that are timeless, discreet and indispensable. The historic boutiques of Capri, St. Barth and Rome, the Sicilian location and the store in the exclusive Bal Harbour Shops shopping mall – recently tripled in size – have been joined by the boutique in the splendid Delaire Graff Estate at Stellenbosch in South Africa. A new shop just opened in the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. At each location, you will discover the 100% Capri linen products that are the standard-bearers of "Made in Italy". 100% Capri, sweetness and joie de vivre. Wherever you are.
Capri, St. Barth, Bal Harbour, Rome (Hotel de Russie), Sicily (Golf Verdura Resort), Stellenbosch (Delaire Graff Estate), Beverly Hills (Peninsula Hotel)

DAVID BENOLIEL The images in Art Book W South Beach are from talented Parisian photographer David Benoliel, now based in Miami, and represented by Ford artists. Benoliel is passionate about creating expressive and compelling photographs in advertising, beauty and fashion. His work has appeared in numerous magazines, while his images about world problems were shown at Art Basel 2010. A master of color and light, Benoliel notes, “I feel that an image should provoke a feeling; it should inspire or trigger something very deep within the observer. I like to reveal each woman’s beauty, personality and individuality through my photographs.” www.davidbenolielphotography.
