100
years of fashion
Whether you’re a hard-core fashionista or simply an admirer of beauty, you’ll enjoy Nathalie Herschdorfer’s Coming Into Fashion: A Century of Photography at Condé Nast (Prestel, $65). This celebration of fashion photography, drawn from a museum exhibition, brings together some of the finest work from that publishing house’s legendary archives and the best of New York, Paris and Milan. Via the volume’s 208 images you’ll look through the lenses of renowned photographers and witness how the art of fashion photography has evolved—and how it has reflected change in society. (Among chapter titles are “The Golden Age” and “The New Wave.”) Early Vogue and Vanity Fair covers recall styles of a bygone era that feels very remote—yet also evokes a timeless elegance that speaks eloquently to us today.
Soft, comfortable, natural, beautiful—you’ll want to live in Kinross Cashmere, whose story began 20 years ago under the umbrella of a world-renowned cashmere company headquartered in Kinross, Scotland. Not a lot has changed in the past two decades—and that’s a good thing! The company still eschews fleeting trends for timeless classics—cardigans, V-necks, turtlenecks, vests—for both men and women. And, consistent with its heritage, Kinross adheres to strict European cashmere production standards. The result? A Kinross garment will actually improve with wear and washing, and hold its shape and resist pilling longer than other cashmere garments. Come in to Coleson Fine Clothiers to experience Scottish quality at its finest.
The Oxxford look What do Cary Grant, Walter Cronkite, Joe DiMaggio and George W. Bush have in common? They all wore Oxxford. And why not? Founded in 1916, Oxxford was an architect of the American business suit, and today it’s the only major U.S. suit maker that still constructs its suits by hand. Dozens of hours are put into the creation of each garment, from cutting the pattern to carefully placing each stitch, using the same techniques that master tailors have employed for generations. “When there’s a better way to make a suit, we will change,” the company states. “Until then, we will remain faithful to the quality that only a hand-tailored, Oxxford suit can deliver.” Experience the expert craftsmanship firsthand—in a wide variety of styles—at Coleson Fine Clothiers.

A new way with whiskey
If you’re still drinking your whiskey “straight,” it’s time to mix it up. Literally. The world’s most masculine beverage has made its way onto mixed-drinks menus across the country in recent years. “Whiskey’s pleasures are diverse and delicious,” notes Warren Bobrow, author of Whiskey Cocktails. “And much to the surprise of traditionalists, it’s a versatile spirit that’s extremely adaptable when it comes to mixology.” Here, we present Bobrow’s Robert Burns Cocktail, a tipple that honors Scotland’s most famous poet. Every sip is pure elegance, whether it’s served straight up or in a martini glass with a flamed orange zest twist. That said, if you’re a “wee tim’rous beastie,” as Burns himself wrote, steer clear: This cocktail is not for the faint of heart. If you can handle it, though, it’s a truly luxurious way to start an autumn evening. The Robert Burns Cocktail n 2 oz. Scotch whisky n ¾ oz. Italian vermouth, such as Carpano Antica n Dash of orange bitters n Dash of absinthe n Orange zest twist (optional) Fill a cocktail shaker three-quarters with ice. Pour all the liquid ingredients over the ice. Using a long-handled bar spoon, stir gently to combine. Strain this into a martini glass. Singe the orange zest by holding it firmly behind a lit match and pinching it to release its natural citrus oils. (Be careful to spritz the citrus oils into the glass.) Or, pour the mixture over a large chunk of hand-cut ice in a rocks glass.
The British are coming
It was an interesting year, 1894. Notables such as dancer/choreographer Martha Graham and blues singer Bessie Smith were born, and a line of clothing was founded in South Shields, England, that would become today’s Barbour. Just as Graham and Smith had different styles, Barbour proudly features a wide range of fashions that capture a woman’s diverse moods— from the elegant and feminine Lifestyle collection to the functional yet stylish Countrywear line to the biker-inspired International label. But then, Barbour is a company that has always understood women. In 2013, Dame Margaret Barbour celebrated 40 years at the helm of the company. Bravo!
From work to weekend
It all started with a bowling ball. Chris Knott chose the name Peter Millar for the company he founded in 2001 from an inscription on an antique lawn bowling ball given to him as a gift by his mother. Knott felt that the name and the antique represented an era when people cared deeply about the kind of impression they made. And so the American luxury sportswear brand, characterized by classic elegance, was born. From patterned sport shirts and cashmere sweaters to five-pocket pants and wool trousers, Peter Millar has you covered from work to weekend. New for fall: patterned dress shirts, fleece pullovers, cords in a rainbow of colors, a collection of casual coats and much more. Stop by the store and let us show you the latest styles.
Thanks to the Franks
It was an exciting summer for downtown Lancaster, which welcomed a new multi-use building on East King Street (called 26 East) thanks to the entrepreneurial activity of the Frank family. The old structure—last occupied nearly 20 years ago—was razed to make way for the three-story edifice. The first floor is occupied by foodie haven Bistro Barberet & Bakery, namesake of Cedric and Estelle Barberet, partners in the project with Ben Frank of building owner Amalfi Properties. Cedric, a renowned pastry chef, is the talent behind the upfront bakery, while his wife Estelle is the charming manager who’s often the first to greet arriving guests. Best bet: Have lunch or dinner in the cozy bistro tucked behind the bakery and pick up some of Cedric’s macarons for dessert on your way out. The bistro provides all the food for the long-awaited, third-floor Altana Rooftop Lounge, where you can nibble and sip indoors or out. No matter where you settle in, breathtaking views of the cityscape are guaranteed. (The second floor is being used as an event space.) Clearly, there’s a new energy in Lancaster. “I love this town,” says Frank, “and I think it’s headed in such a good direction.” Bistro Barberet & Bakery, 26 E. King St., 717.690.2354; Altana Rooftop Lounge, 26 E. King St., 717.690.2347

For years, D. Exterior manufactured all of Jean Paul Gaultier’s designs in its immaculate Italian factories. Then, in the 1980s, the small Italian company (boasting about 40 employees, whom it calls “collaborators”) began to produce its own private label. This was good news for fans of finely tailored women’s clothing with a touch of whimsy. From planning and design through the production process, the company prides itself on its exacting standards. That severity doesn’t transfer to the collection, however. The line features eminently wearable wardrobe staples—dresses, skirts, sweaters—fitted with soft, feminine details, from dainty eyelets to sweet bows. Intrigued? Stop by Coleson Fine Clothiers and judge D. Exterior for yourself.

Dive into the spirit world
Did you know that actor Dan Aykroyd markets a vodka in bottles shaped like a skull? That’s one of the things you’ll learn in a new book, Distilled, from Absinthe & Brandy to Vodka & Whisky, the World’s Finest Artisan Spirits Unearthed, Explained & Enjoyed (Mitchell Beazley, $19.99). Authors Joel Harrison and Neil Ridley report on a dramatic transformation that’s underway, with crafty craft distillers like Aykroyd— they call them “mavericks”—creating innovative spirits that exude unique personality and character. The authors have scoured the globe for the best in this burgeoning field. They start you out with the basics—how a distiller creates a product and how you can best sample it. Then they suggest new and classic brands they call “hidden gems.” Throughout, their passion for their subject matter is contagious. If you’re a casual drinker, this volume can add richly to your enjoyment. And if you’re a virtuoso, even you will gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the emerging universe of artisan spirits.
Samuelsohn’s secret When it comes to suits, a key to quality construction is a canvas layer sewn between the wool and the lining. It’s a step on which luxury suit makers like Samuelsohn refuse to compromise, despite the fact that it’s easier—and cheaper—to fuse a suit’s wool directly to the lining with adhesive. This hidden canvas layer is what makes a Samuelsohn suit drape as if it were custom-made and keep its tailored shape for years. Of course, Samuelsohn menswear is about more than quality construction. The company’s buyers scour the globe to find the best fabrics, from the specialty tweeds of Scotland to the luxurious silks of Spain’s finest mills. It’s no surprise the company will only sell its designs through high-end retailers, like Coleson Fine Clothiers, who know that measuring is one of the most important steps of the suit-buying process. After all, a luxury suit only feels like a luxury if it fits perfectly.

Repurposed objects create a oneof-a-kind look in the bedroom—an antique trestle table serves as a nightstand, an old crock becomes a lamp, a pitcher turns into a vase for blooming branches. At the foot of the bed, an antique trunk with wonderful strap hinges and folkloric painting is the ideal foil for the subdued hues of the linens.

CLASSICAL EVOLUTION Paige McFarling looks ahead with excitement. This is an exhilarating time for the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra, a cultural landmark where music is changing lives by bringing the power of music to people of all ages. The Symphony turns 70 next year, and, under McFarling’s direction, its eye is on the future. Her key focus is to keep the Lancaster Symphony relevant—and prosperous—at a time when fewer people nationwide want to commit to a traditional subscription package model, especially an on-demand young generation that prefers a la carte programming with a contemporary edge. “While we hold steadfast to the classics, we have to do things differently. It’s important that we take the mystery out of classical music and expand our reach and our repertoire to connect with audiences all across our community.” And the Symphony is doing just that. Hoping to entice audiences to discover the Classical Music Series, they will present an interesting twist in every concert. In September they presented Chocolats Symphoniques, a chocolate and music pairing, which reflected a connection with Lancaster’s own Miesse’s Candies. “Fostering growth through partnerships strengthens our entire Lancaster Community,” notes McFarling. Future concerts include professional tango dancers, specialized visual techniques and presentations, and intriguing special guests like one of the preeminent soloists from Bollywood fame. LSO will also add three new popular music performances this season. Created in partnership with The Arts at Millersville University, LSO’s new Popular Music Series recently staged “Hollywood Heroes and Villains,” at Millersville University’s Clair Auditorium at Winter Center, one of the Symphony’s several local venues. And, next May the Symphony will share Clair auditorium with the critically acclaimed Nunziata brothers at the Winter Center for an evening of Broadway hits. Next February, LSO will accompany a big-screen showing of “The Godfather” at American Music Theatre. Creating connections is important to McFarling. It’s what the LSO is all about, especially with kids. The LSO connects with young people through a series of “Sound Discovery Community Engagement Programs.” These innovative programs have won national praise and address the critical gaps in music education. The “Instrument Petting Zoos” give third graders the opportunity to see, hear, touch and even play various instruments. It’s a touchstone to potential future talent,

“It’s important that we take the mystery out of classical music and expand our reach and our repertoire to connect with audiences all across our community.” —Paige McFarling, Executive Director, Lancaster Symphony Orchestra
and teachers attribute increased enrollment in fourth grade band and orchestra programs to the Petting Zoo project. LSO’s Gift of Music Program unites young students with musical instruments when they or their school cannot afford them. Teaming up with the Lancaster County Library system the Symphony offers passes which enable a family of four to attend one of LSO’s six classic concert series for free. The pass can be checked out at 17 local libraries and the program will reach more than 200 people each year. Open rehearsals draw both adults and kids in a fun and approachable format. All in all, the LSO reaches over 30,000 people each year. For McFarling the Symphony’s goal is clear: “We want to continue to bring the power of music to this community now and long into the future: to perform great music, nurture young talent, build engaged students, and to connect with and support our community.”

big sky’s the limit
Skip the crowds and come to Montana, where America’s largest ski area offers perfect powder, breathtaking vistas and the flavor of the West. By Everett Potter
I
’m not exaggerating when I tell you I can smell the adrenaline in the tiny tram at Big Sky Resort, which is rapidly ascending a sheer rock face to the 11,166-foot summit of Lone Mountain. Crammed inside with me are a dozen pumped-up skiers, gazing out at the seemingly limitless expanse of peaks and the vast sky that gives sprawling Montana its nickname—“the Big Sky country”—and names this resort as well. Big Sky Resort, which was opened in 1973 by the late, legendary NBC newsman Chet Huntley, is directly below. On the mountain’s north side is Moonlight Basin, a real-estate-development-turned-ski-resort that merged with Big Sky a couple of years ago. Like most of the other skiers and boarders on this tram, I’ve been happily skiing between the two, which is easy enough because they are connected. Michigan-based Boyne Resorts, which operates them both, added even more terrain when it acquired a private ski area on Spirit Mountain. With these properties combined, the new Big Sky Resort offers 5,750 acres of terrain, nudging ahead of Vail’s 5,289 to become the largest ski area in America. It’s why my tram-mates are so jazzed about accessing the gnarliest in-bounds terrain this side of the Alps. “It’s blowing a little hard up here,” says a guy wearing enough gear to ascend Everest as we step out of the gondola. Hard? I’m being blown backwards on my skis. The wind actually clocks at 80 miles per hour, but I won’t learn that until I ski down Marx, one of Big Sky’s famous Dictator Chutes. That’s dictators as in Castro, Lenin and Marx (an honorary dictator, I guess). I am sweating bullets as I ski down the thick, wind-blasted powder on Marx, which

malbec’s comeback
This Argentine varietal has regained its reputation for subtlety and balance—and hard times actually helped. By Josh Sens

on’t cry for Malbec, Argentina! The truth is, the wine for which that country is best known came through the economic crash of the late 1990s and early 2000s. It didn’t just survive; it flourished. Over time, the downturn had an unexpected upside, as runaway inflation corrected an imbalance in the market. In the sour climate, it no longer made sense to bottle low-end Malbecs because it was pretty much impossible to turn a profit on them. So vintners slashed production of their two-buck chuck—the subpar swill they’d been pumping out for years, staining Malbec’s image around the world. “So much cheap stuff had been getting out there
This label announces a subtle, widely suitable varietal—a far cry from the not-so-distinguished table wines that recently diluted the distinction of the Malbec name.

Cuff ’em
The only way to get a truly accurate blood pressure reading is to cuff both arms. When a person’s systolic pressure varies by 10 or more points between arms, the risk of heart attack or stroke increases 38 percent.

Beware the grouch
Did you know that a negative attitude can be passed along from one person to another just like the flu? Apparently, we mimic each other’s nonverbal cues, then internalize them, making them our own. Of course, we can’t always steer clear of a sourpuss, thus the best move: Do not engage. —University of Notre Dame
Beet it to low blood pressure
Drinking just one cup of beet juice every day can lower blood pressure in people with hypertension, according to recent research. Study participants’ systolic blood pressure (the top number, which measures the pressure in your arteries as your heart beats) dropped 8 points. Diastolic BP (the bottom number, which measures pressure between heartbeats) dropped 2 to 5 points. The reason? Beetroot contains high levels of nitrate, which the body converts to nitric oxide, which in turn improves blood flow and relaxes arteries. —Hypertension
