The Wayne-Marlin Trio rehearses atop the chimney of the Lord Tarleton Hotel, Miami Beach, on November 15, 1951. George Wayne Long supports Glenn Marlin Sundby and Sundby’s sister, Dolores, with no apparent effort, 25 stories above the ground.
Before the days (or rather nights) of Champagne sparklers and the world’s
greatest DJs spinning dance beats till sunrise, it was Billie Holiday, Count
Basie, and Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack who made Miami a showplace.
But it wasn’t just all that jazz that set the stage for what would be decades
upon decades (half a century and counting) of stuntin’ performances. Case
in point: that time the Wayne-Marlin Trio maneuvered a handstand
25 stories above sea level for some good old-fashioned fun.
Glenn Marlin Sundby (the latter part of Wayne-Marlin) was an acrobatic
stuntman who got his start on Santa Monica’s famed Muscle Beach in the late
1930s and would go on to cofound the US Gymnastics Federation, establish
the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame, and single-handedly publish a
plethora of acrobat magazines, including the still-standing International
Gymnast. He and former wrestler and bodybuilder George Wayne Long met
at the beach, instantly formed a connection, and developed a traveling acro-
batic act with Sundby’s sister, Dolores.
Natural-born performers, they showed off their abilities all around the
country, including at Radio City Music Hall and on The Ed Sullivan Show. It
was Sundby’s walk down all 898 steps of the Washington Monument on his
hands, however, that skyrocketed him to national prominence, earned him
a cartoon drawing in Ripley’s Believe It or Not, and prepped him for the pin-
nacle of his career, in 1951.
On a typical November day in Miami (sunny, not a cloud in sight), the
triad rose to the occasion 25 floors above the Art Deco Lord Tarleton Hotel
(which was resurrected as the Thompson just last year). While standing on
the hotel chimney, Long locked arms with Dolores and squatted slightly to
balance the smiling, tilting performer on his thighs, while a fearless Glenn
Marlin Sundby did a handstand on Long’s outstretched right arm.
A true to shirtless form Miami moment, this daringly dexterous, yet effort-
lessly graceful, spectacle remains evidence that like gymnastics, life in the
Magic City is a perpetual balancing act of work and play. OD

RECENTLY, GLORIA AND EMILIO ESTEFAN’s smash hit musical On Your
Feet opened on Broadway in NYC to rave reviews. It’s a coming-of-age story set—where
else—Miami. On network TV, Fox premiered Rosewood starring Morris Chestnut as a
Miami-based pathologist who helps solve crimes. This past summer, The Rock show-
cased Miami in a different light, debuting Ballers on HBO, which turned out to be
HBO’s highest-rated comedy in six years. One of my personal Netflix favorites is
Bloodline, a family drama filled with suspense that takes place just to the south in beauti-
ful Islamorada. Meanwhile, Miami’s Pitbull and Jason Derulo dominate the radio
waves, while Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio (not to mention The Donald, who owns mul-
tiple South Florida properties from Sunny Isles to Doral) duke it out for the Republican
nomination.
On the food scene, we told you last month about Mandolin’s expansion into Istanbul,
Turkey. Zuma found such success in Miami it recently expanded into NYC, while
Faena, the global holistic hospitality sensation, chose Miami for their US launch. And,
of course, next month brings the world’s most dynamic art fair—Art Basel in Miami
Beach. Notice a trend here?
No matter where you are, what type of culture you’re after, who you’re voting for,
where you’re eating, what you’re watching or listening to, or what the price per square
footage is, you’re going to hear about Miami. It’s unavoidable. Everyone’s talking
about it—and I’m guilty as charged. I love talking about Miami, and we are doing just
that on an epic level in this issue of Ocean Drive—from hotshot chefs to power players
and of course our cover star, Jennifer Lopez, who practically makes Miami her second
home when she’s not owning the spotlight globally. In a town now bustling with film
crews, sold-out concerts, red carpets, and billion-dollar developments, it’s no wonder
“Jenny from the Block” has fit in to our beautiful scene for over two decades. From her
former residence on North Bay Road to Casa Tua to BFF’s Loren Ridinger’s yacht, you
never know when and where she’ll pop up; but for now, it’s the cover of Ocean Drive.
FROM ABOVE: Spending the day with Ocean Drive’s October cover star Dwyane Wade; on the red carpet with our September cover star, Kate King, at Nikki Beach.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: With JC Carey celebrating Ocean Drive’s September Fall Fashion edition of “The List” at Hyatt Centric South Beach; with Jeff Soffer, Elle Macpherson, and Dan Riordan at the Turnberry Ocean Club
preview of its Sunny Isles sales center; with Lana Bernstein and Adam Rosenfeld at a private in-store event hosted by Versace and Ocean Drive in celebration of the Men’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection.
AND JUST LIKE THAT, we’re in November again. Temperatures might be starting to drop (even if just slightly), but Miami is getting
warmed up for another high season, and we couldn’t think of a better way of kicking things off in proper fashion than by having actress, singer, dancer, producer, fashion designer, and author (is there anything she can’t do?) Jennifer Lopez rocking our cover and—in our humble opinion—looking as good as ever as she prepares for the next phase of her impressive career: a Las Vegas concert residency.
Ocean Drive is flattered to be part of her portfolio, which includes covers of Self, Vanity Fair, and even Vogue. The American Idol judge formerly called North Bay Road home (her mansion there just sold for a whopping $33 million to Phil Collins), but that doesn’t mean J.Lo still doesn’t think of Miami as a second home.
This month is full of happenings, from our annual and much-anticipated Miami Dish event, showcasing and celebrating the city’s best dishes and top toques from our “Hotshot Chefs” feature, to the unofficial launch of gala season, the annual Best Buddies International Miami gala, on November 20, which we’re once again thrilled to support.
If that’s not enough to fill up your agenda, invites to Art Basel (just a few weeks away) and its plethora of surrounding and impossible-to-get-into events, fairs, and VIP soirées have already begun. Before you know it, it’ll be 2016.
Hope to see you around town…

Photographer Vanessa Rogers obtained her formal training at New
York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and the School of Visual Arts.
With a portfolio that includes travel, lifestyle, food, and fashion, her
work for local, regional, and national advertising agencies, maga-
zines, and retailers has been published in Time, Porter, Shape, and
Women’s Wear Daily, among numerous other publications. Rogers
photographed Zac Courtney for this issue’s “Beach Patrol” and Claire
Laverty for “New in Town.” “Beyond capturing the obvious aesthetics
of the physical image, having a comfortable and authentic subject is
the true secret to a timeless portrait,” says Rogers. “I’ve been fortunate
to shoot in some of the most beautiful and interesting locations in
Miami, like Golden Beach, Vizcaya, Opa-Locka City Hall, and the
Biltmore. Billowing fabric and fashion from one rooftop to another
from the highest, most elegant buildings in South Beach remains on
my Miami photo shoot bucket list.”

A Miami-based freelance writer and
copywriter originally from chilly
Connecticut, Becky Randel is a
frequent contributor to People and
people.com, W magazine, about.com,
thedailymeal.com, and more. She is
greatly outnumbered at home, where
she lives with her husband, two young
sons, and a male puggle. Randel
profiles NewsLink’s leaders Raymond
Kayal Jr. and Christopher Korge in this month’s issue. “I had no idea
that flight schedules and gate locations have such an impact on their
business,” says Randel of the NewsLink executives. “They know the
daily schedules thoroughly and can point to exactly how the flight
bookings affect sales.”
Marcelle Sussman Fischler contrib-
utes a monthly “International House
Hunting” column to The New York
Times and has written extensively
about real estate and lifestyles for
forbes.com, Yahoo!, and more. In this
issue of Ocean Drive, she spotlights the
new Hyde Midtown Suites &
Residences from luxury developer
The Related Group. “The Hyde is setting itself apart from other new
luxury developments with the inclusion of a hotel,” says the journalist.
“It’s an extra bonus for the buyers to have access to the amenities of a
hotel. It helps The Related Group diversify their portfolio to be more
than just condo developers.”

Memphis-based writer Hunter
Braithwaite was the founding editor of
The Miami Rail, a quarterly publication
devoted to contemporary art and culture.
During a hiatus from school, he began
writing for National Geographic’s travel
books department. He has since lived in
Shanghai and Miami, where he freelanced
for a variety of publications, including
Modern Painters, where he’s a contributing
editor. In this issue, he covers PAMM’s Nari Ward exhibition. “I think by
presenting both internationally renowned artists and those who are either
emerging or regionally important, it reflects how Miami is becoming the
center of something fundamentally new,” says Braithwaite of the exhibit.
“As [Ward is] an artist both engaged in ‘art history’ and the everyday
culture of the Caribbean, it was worth the wait to see this in Miami.”

Belles of Bal HarBourGucci’s new creative director, AlessAndro Michele, freshens up the iconic label while remaininG true to the heritaGe of the brand. by RACHEL FELDER
Although he was only appointed creative director
of Gucci earlier this year, Alessandro Michele is
anything but a newcomer to the iconic luxury
label. Working as part of the brand’s design team
since 2002, Michele has an inherent understand-
ing of Gucci’s delicate, covetable balance of
heritage details, modern tailoring, opulent
materials, and a healthy dose of self-assured
sex appeal.
For his first collection, Michele created pieces
with a vintage feel—flowy ’70s-inspired flower-
patterned dresses, silk blouses tied at the neck with
an unstructured, slender bow—but with a
Alessandro Michele backstage before the
debut of his Fall/Winter 2015–16 collection during
Milan Fashion Week.

sensibility that’s undeniably modern. Also included is a
range of standout coats and neat trouser suits that are
practical (particularly as extra-chic office wear) and
ever-so-slightly androgynous without being exces-
sively structured or serious. “I wanted to interpret an
attitude, not a silhouette, through a perspective that
blurs the masculine/feminine divide and champions
the youthful energy and natural confidence of today’s
urbanites,” Michele explains.
That natural confidence applies to the collection’s
accessories as well, with fabulously Rat Pack–esque
black flat loafers, sturdy thick belts, and boxy
handbags with a hint of a Royal Tenenbaums–meets–
Bianca Jagger vibe. Most are punctuated with exactly
what you’d expect from this distinctive brand: bold
trademark hardware, like chunky horsebits and
oversize metal G’s, that looks as fresh now as it has for
decades. OD
“I wanTed To InTeRpReT an

The masculIne/femInIne

Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, Hamish Bowles, and other fashion luminaries cheer Alessandro Michele during his Gucci Resort16 runway show.
Pieces from Alessandro Michele’s first
Cruise Collection for Gucci are, as you’d
imagine, available at department stores like
Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, but
a few pieces are exclusives at the brand’s
sleek boutique at the Bal Harbour Shops,
including a selection of dresses adorned
with a vibrant print of bright flowers rooted
(pun intended!) in the brand’s heritage, but
used in a decidedly modern, spirited way.
With their classic, fluid silhouettes and
breezy fabrics, these really are investment
pieces, on trend but not trendy, and
designed to look good for years to come.
For formal nights out, there’s a floor
length, perfectly draped gown that
promises a movie-star-caliber entrance. A
flowing, strapless column of creamy ivory,
it is punctuated at the waist by a simple
ribbon belt with a single, delicate fabric
flower attached.
On the opposite end of the spectrum—
but equally eye-catching—is a set of
separates in metallic brights with
confident impact either worn together or
apart, including a menswear-inspired teal
button-down that can be dressed up or
worn with jeans. Bal Harbour Shops,

With Art Basel in Miami Beach
coming up and the season of charity
galas underway, there couldn’t be
a more appropriate time for Gucci
to offer dramatic diamond jewelry.
Like the brand’s clothing and leather
goods, the pieces are luxurious but
never ostentatious. Our favorites
from the concise collection include:
Gucci Chiodo ring in 18k
white gold with diamonds
($9,100): a single thick baton of
perfectly aligned diamonds, this
statement piece coils around the
fnger and ever-so-slightly suggests
a stack of separate bands. It’s
somehow bold and understated
at the same time, serving as the
perfect counterpoint for a more
assertive necklace or earrings.
Gucci Chiodo necklace in 18k
white gold with diamonds
($28,500): This graceful, fuid
rope of 276 brilliant diamonds—
nearly three carats worth—drapes
in a particularly fattering way
around the neck.
Gucci Chiodo earrings in 18k
white gold with diamonds
($13,950): crisp and sleek, these
drop earrings—long graduated
columns of round diamonds (314
in total) precisely-set in 18k white
gold—have an art deco feel that
accentuates their elegance.

TENDING
THEIR GARDEN
Lucia Silvestri, Bulgari’s creative
director, talks about crafting the
Italian Gardens collection:
First inspiration: The Gardens
of Ninfa (often referred to as “the
most romantic gardens in the
world”) near Rome.
Collection size: 100 pieces.
Showstopper: Blue Iridescence
with 187 carats of large
blue sapphires.
Multitasker: The sapphire and
diamond Water Symphony can
also become a brooch and bracelet.
Hardest gem to source at the
premium level: “Rubies. We
can fnd 20 diamonds that are
internally fawless at 10 carats to
every one ruby of that quality
and weight.”
Big gems and high-tech:
“With diamonds, there’s a lot of
technology; with colored gems the
sensibility and the experience of
the owner or the cutter are
very important.”

clockwise from left: Making Bulgari’s Blue Iridescence necklace; Carla Bruni-Sarkozy; Sparkling Hearts necklace from the Italian Gardens Haute Joaillerie collection; a detail from Bulgari’s sapphire and diamond Water Symphony necklace.
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy might have the most glamorous résumé on the planet: former supermodel and frst lady of France, best-selling rock star, and since 2013 the face of jet-set favorite Bulgari. “I love shooting pictures again,” Bruni-Sarkozy says as she wraps a day’s photography session for the Rome-based jeweler at a villa in the hills above Florence. “As a songwriter, you spend most of your time alone.”
Bruni-Sarkozy represents a most rarefed niche of modern celebrity (think Taylor Swift as an American presidential spouse for an idea of her unique fame), someone who has earned her superstar bona fdes in widely divergent arenas. While very much the modern woman juggling a megawatt career, high-profle spouse (rumored to have his eye on the Élysée
Palace again), and children, she comes across more as thoughtful artiste than bold-facer and is quick to express a distinct appreciation for the aesthetics of Europe’s lavish past. Bruni-Sarkozy once mused that if she could go back in time, it would be to Florence during the days of the Medici, which makes her third campaign for Bulgari, Italian Gardens, the name of the jewelry house’s latest Haute Joaillerie line, a particularly resonant one. “Gardens are one of the most beautiful things man-kind has created,” she says, noting that many of her best childhood memo-ries, growing up in Turin, are connected with them.
The new collec-
Rock On! Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the faCe of Bulgari and gloBal glamour, talkS aBout why italian gardenS, the jeweler’S lateSt dazzling ColleCtion, haS SpeCial meaning for her. by catherine sabino
tion takes inspiration from Italy’s landscape splendor, specifcally the Renaissance garden conceits that infu-enced horticultural style for centuries, says Lucia Silvestri, creative director for Bulgari. Intricate parterre and swirling fowerbed patterns defne a pavé necklace, Sparkling Hearts; another masterpiece, Magical Refection, pays homage to the water artistry of the terraces at Villa Lante, a Mannerist garden in central Italy, with fawless pear-shaped diamonds. Renais-sance gardens had their special hideaways, where the most exquisite fowers bloomed, which prompted Bulgari to create Secret Gar-den, a gem bouquet necklace with rubellite, tanzanite, ci-trine, and other vivid stones.
For Bruni-Sarkozy jewelry has always been much more
than a luxury item. “It represents a
world of feel-ings, wonder-ful memories, and a little nostalgia, too,”
she says, recalling gifts
given to her by her family and husband, as
well as the care she took to fnd the right pieces for state occasions while frst lady of France. “Jewelry is always related to special moments in life.” As for her favorite gem, Bruni-Sarkozy says diplomatically that she likes both diamonds and colored
stones, then adds with a wink, “Even if you’re a woman and not a girl anymore, diamonds are your best friend. It’s a good title for a song, actually. I should write it, don’t you think?” Miami Design District,

Miami has no shortage of
chic charity galas, but
Destination Fashion, a
star-studded event that raises
money for The Buoniconti
Fund to Cure Paralysis, may
well be the most spirited.
That’s due in part to the
buoyant mother-daughter
team that puts it together:
Stephanie Sayfie Aagaard,
who oversees events at
The Miami Project to Cure
Paralysis/The Buoniconti
Fund, and her mother, Suzy
Sayfie, the fund’s executive
director and a leading local
philanthropist. To get
Miamians excited for this
year’s fundraiser—scheduled
for March 5, 2016, at the Bal
Harbour Shops—the duo
will present a pre-event on
November 12, designed to
raise money for The Miami
Project, one of the foremost
institutions for spinal cord
injury research, while
honoring noteworthy women
of the community.
What is Destination
Fashion?
Stephanie Sayfie
Aagaard: We transform the
parking lot [at Bal Harbour
Shops] into a fashion arena.
It’s a major fashion show by
a name designer—we’ve
had Michael Kors, Ralph
Lauren, Emilio Pucci—and
there’s also an incredible
concert, a dinner, and the
stores donate one-of-a-kind
auction items. It will be
hosted by NBC News icon
Tom Brokaw.
Suzy Sayfie: We do so many
things for the men, too. We
have the casino, we have a
cigar bar—it’s unbelievable.
Nobody wants to go home.
The only way we can get
them out is by shutting all
the bars down!
How do you keep the
charity component in
guests’ minds?
SS: At the beginning of the
evening, we show a video.
It’s so powerful because it
shows exactly what we do
here. It puts everybody in the
mood so they want to help.
SSA: They can meet the
faces of paralysis—it’s
important.
What’s happening on
November 12?
SSA: November 12 is the
kickoff for Destination
Fashion. At Destination
Fashion, we honor women
of substance and style—ladies
who have gone above and
beyond to help their commu-
nities, not only [by raising]
money for The Miami
Project, but whatever their
cause may be. We’re auction-
ing off a car that night. It’s
kind of a sneak peek [into
Destination Fashion].
The planning of these
events must be a massive

Up to the Minutejust in time for the boom in miami’s importance as an international city, swiss watchmakers are creating timepieces with a global outlook. by roberta naas photography by jeff crawford
In a world as interconnected as ours, it’s important
to have a global perspective. The 9-to-5 business day
is a thing of the past; today’s meetings and transac-
tions often take place across multiple time zones,
making a world-time watch a necessity. A complex
instrument to produce, a world timer typically
indicates the hour and minutes in all 24 of the
globe’s major time zones, with some watches even
marking the hour in regions where the local time
may differ by mere minutes. Maps, city names, and
lines of longitude remind stylish sojourners where in
the world they are—and where they need to be.
For more watch features and expanded coverage,

A VIP experience of yoga and live music presented by The

and Wine Festival.
continued on page 138
In October 2014, Alison Burgos and her partner, Michelle Gaber, pulled off a fabulous fête, namely
Seed Food & Wine Festival, the country’s first plant-based gathering “elevating and celebrating con-
scious plant-based living,” which was received by the South Florida community with much fanfare. In
a candid conversation with ocean drive, the cofounders discuss how they developed the concept, the
positive impact it’s had on the community, and what’s on tap at this year’s festival, November 18–22.
How did the Seed Festival come about?Michelle Gaber: We met eight years ago. [We] were together about seven months, and she got sick.
Alison Burgos: I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and it was aggressive. Medications
didn’t control my inflammation. It was deteriorating parts of my body, especially my knee. And
within four years, I had no use of my knee and was in a wheelchair.
MG: We put together a team of holistic healers, one of whom said, “You are going to be on a cleanse
[of] only fruits and vegetables, and do acupuncture, and take herbs.”
AB: I went on a 90-day, all-raw, plant-based cleanse. I was skeptical, but the reality is, after those 90

CAN’T-MISS HIGHLIGHTS
This year’s Seed Festival is branching out
with bigger events, names, and signature series.
Burger Battle: At this ode to the inspir-
ing Burger Bash, 12 national chefs, nonvegan and
those who specialize in plant-based dishes, will
compete to make the best plant-based version of
this American classic. Each creation will be paired
with craft beers, or indulge in shakes, root-beer
foats, and cupcakes. November 19, 7 pm, at
Eden Roc, 4525 Collins Ave., Miami Beach
5k run: Start the weekend with a 5k run
alongside hosts like endurance runner Rich Roll,
Ironman athlete Brendan Brazier, Frankie Ruiz
of We Run Miami, John Lewis of Bad Ass Vegan,
and Ella Majors of Sexy Fit Vegan , followed by
a yoga class with Meghan Elizabeth of LoveLife

vegan or vegetarian. They’re interested in becom-
ing more conscious, eating healthier, or learning
about juices, doing an edible garden, or meditation,
or yoga. That, for both of us, was really powerful.
We are elevating the conversation in the commu-
nity. That’s really our goal.
Why is Miami a great place for Seed?aB: Initially, some people were like, “You shouldn’t
do that here; you should do that in LA.” What that
means is there’s opportunity [here] to educate and
inspire people to make these changes.
Mg: Together we all elevate each other.
aB: There’s actually a really strong community
here that’s building. There are eight new plant-
based restaurants in Dade County alone this year.
Part of this conversation is that we have chefs who
are not plant-based but respect farm-to-table and
organics, and they get excited and start putting
plant-based items on their menus.
days, it was the first time in four years that I was in
remission.
Mg: Ten days into the cleanse, [we] had tickets to
the South Beach Wine & Food Festival’s Burger
Bash. She couldn’t eat anything, but she loved
seeing the chefs, and it was a great experience. We
left, and I felt bad. I said, “You do events, why isn’t
there something like this—chic and sexy, South
Beach-y—[for a vegan community].” She sat on the
idea for about a year.
aB: I had been thinking, How could we pull it
off? How could we create something that talked
to everybody? Preaching to the choir doesn’t
really move the needle. If you want to talk to
people in Miami, you have to be hip and chic.
You have to be sexy.
Mg: You have to be inclusive.
aB: We were happy to see the outcome of the first
year. Half of our attendees don’t even identify as

What has your success with Seed meant for you personally? aB: This was, for me, about my health. We try to
have this conversation about all three—health, the
planet, and animals. But there’s no judgment. It’s
just having the knowledge. Part of [my] journey
was learning that you can live a really amazing,
engaged life eating delicious, healthy food. So to
be able to share this with people and inspire
people to make one decision to feel greater, or to
be conscious about what they put in their body, is
what we’re trying to do with the festival.

Stability in MotionFound objects transFormed into groundbreaking installations herald artist Nari Ward’s
arrival at Pamm in the largest survey oF his career. by hunter braithwaite
“There’s this old notion of being rooted as stability, but I’m trying to talk
about another notion of stability: mobility.” Nari Ward is describing Land,
his 16-foot-tall sculpture of a tree blooming with wheels. It’s the first thing
you encounter in “Sun Splashed,” his upcoming exhibition at Pérez Art
Museum Miami. “This tree dreams of movement.”
So does Ward. Born in Jamaica, he moved to Brooklyn, New York, at age
12 and now lives in a converted fire station in Harlem, making art that bounces
between his Caribbean heritage and various art historical touchstones.
“Sun Splashed” is the largest exhibition of his work to date. Organized
by PAMM associate curator Diana Nawi, it features more than 70 pieces—
including five major installations—in the museum’s two biggest galleries.
Ward moves easily between sculpture and installation, often using found
objects like dominos, baseball bats, mango seeds, and television sets to
create immersive environments. Throughout his work, the bittersweet
nostalgia of exile is palpable, the feeling of being in two places at once. In
this, he compares himself to Wifredo Lam, the Latin American modernist
who made waves on both sides of the Atlantic. Says Ward, “[Lam] was a
European artist referencing the cultural history of Cuba, of the Caribbean,
those myths and mythologies, those personal yearnings that he needed
to speak to.”
The pivotal installation, Happy Smilers: Duty Free Shopping, hasn’t been
seen publicly since 1996. “It’s a combination of these two vistas, the urban
found-object component and the Caribbean memory, with the patina of
invention,” says Ward, who adds that the work contains the sensations of
home. “It’s there, we know it, we can feel and smell it, but we’ll never be able
to access it again. [The piece is] a space to store that access.”
And since this massive installation has itself been in storage for almost
two decades, you might think that reinstalling it would be a challenge. Nah.
“When I went to the storage space, I could literally remember every single
object,” Ward says. “It was like seeing an old friend.” “Sun Splashed” is on
display from November 19 through February 21, 2016, at Pérez Art Museum
Miami, 1103 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 305-375-3000; pamm.org OD
Nari Ward’s Airplane Tears (2005), an innovative installation that
speaks volumes with the backs of televisions and facial tissues.

The 2016 presidential election is quickly becoming a dream come true for pundits and

Let’s Be Frenkthe University of MiaMi’s new president, Dr. Julio Fren , plans to take the school’s acadeMics global. by jon warech
For new college students, the first day of their
first semester is often greeted with a mix of
barely contained excitement and profound
anxiety. But at the University of Miami this fall,
there was one newcomer whose enthusiasm for
the orange and green was undiluted: the school’s
new president, Dr. Julio Frenk.
The former dean of the faculty at the Harvard
T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Frenk
combines the dedication to excellence of a
distinguished professional and the exuberance
of an incoming freshman. “The arrival of the
new students is very energizing to feel—young
people, full of expectations,” he says. “I walked
around the dorms as they were unpacking and I
told them, ‘I’m doing the same exact thing in my
house.’ The university has a very strong upward
momentum and desire to keep moving forward,
so all of that is very exciting for me.”
That drive to continue improving, the role he
feels universities play in the 21st century, and the
work done by his predecessor, Donna Shalala—
whom he first met when he was working at the
continued on page 152
“The university has a very strong upward momentum and desire to keep moving
forward,” says Dr. Julio Frenk, seen here on the
University of Miami campus.

Cheers to U!
Academics always come first, but
on Saturday, the University of
Miami is all about football.
The new big man on campus,
Dr. Julio Frenk was quick to
get acquainted with the Miami
Hurricanes football team. In his frst
couple of weeks, he met the coaches
and players at practice and was
named an honorary captain at his
frst Canes game. “I see athletics as
an integral part of a comprehensive
university experience,” Frenk says.
“It has all of that value: the com-
prehensive development of people,
the promotion of healthy behaviors,
the development of teamwork, the
development of the fans, and the
promotion of a sense of community.”
That community will be out in full
force at the team’s next home games,
against Virginia (November 7) and
Georgia Tech (November 21).

World Health Organization
and she was US secretary of
health and human services—
all contributed to his desire
to take the job. But for Frenk,
who was born in Mexico and
is the college’s first Hispanic
president, there was also
something special about the
school’s location. “The fact
that Miami is the gateway to
the Americas gives us the
opportunity to make the
University of Miami the
hemispheric university—the
university that connects
every part of our hemisphere
and that connects the
hemisphere with the rest of
the world,” he says. “Since I
myself have a connection
with Latin America and the
Caribbean, that was very
appealing to me, and I’m
sure that was one of the
features that made me an
attractive candidate.”
There are, of course, many
other things that made Frenk
the ideal choice. Prior to his
time at Harvard, he served as
Mexico’s minister of health
and reformed that nation’s
healthcare system by
expanding access to care for
tens of millions of previously
uninsured citizens. He was
the founding director-
general of the National
Institute of Public Health of
Mexico, executive director
in charge of evidence and
information for policy at the
World Health Organization,
a senior fellow in the global
health program of the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation,
and the founding chair of the
board of the Institute for
Health Metrics and
Evaluation at the University
of Washington.
For all of his hard work in
the health field, Frenk has
received many accolades,
including the Clinton Global
Citizen Award. “There’s a
connection between those
jobs, which is that knowledge
is the most powerful instru-
ment we have for enlightened
social transformation,” he
says. “Sometimes I’ve been
on the side of producing that
knowledge through doing
research and education,
and sometimes I’ve been on
the side of applying that
knowledge through policy-
making positions.”
Like any good student,
Frenk says he plans to spend
his first 100 days mostly lis-
tening. So far he’s heard what
he calls “four big aspirations”:
a call to boost the University
of Miami’s ranking on U.S.
News & World Report’s list
of the best national universi-
ties (it’s currently 51st), a
desire to “serve as a model
for values and behaviors,” a
need to strengthen the
school’s engagement with
issues in the local commu-
nity, and the aforementioned
goal of becoming the “hemi-
spheric university.”
“We have about 10 years
to build a road map to
realize these aspirations as
we think about the new
century of the University of
Miami,” says Frenk, who
adds that fundraising is
crucial to achieving those
goals by the time the school
celebrates its centennial in
2025. “Resources are the key
to attracting talent, and
talent is the key. Universities
are a people business. Bright
faculty and admired
researchers attract great
students, and competent
staff enables the work. It’s all
about people.
“I’m very excited,”
Frenk continues. “I think
we are at the threshold of
a revolution in education,
and I think we’re seeing
the biggest innovations
since the invention of the
printing press. This univer-
sity, I’m hoping, will be a
leader in applying some
of the new technologies
that are revolutionizing
learning.” OD

LocaL TimeWith three generations in the Watch industry as the backdrop, Eyal lalo is leading his family’s brand—invicta Watch group—into the future. by matt stewart
The Lalo family reignited Invicta in 1991, and since
then, they have positioned themselves as both the
face and the spirit of the storied watch brand.
Current president Eyal Lalo embraces his family’s
legacy in the industry to further carry Invicta into
the future while continuing to grow the company
from its South Florida headquarters. Here, Lalo
shares his watchmaking heritage, Miami’s influ-
ence, and what’s in store for 2016.
Talk about your background and that of
your company.
I was born into a family that has been dedicated to
the watch industry for three generations. Throughout
top: “A lot of our designs are themed by the ocean,” says Eyal Lalo, president of the South Florida–based Invicta Watch Group. inset: Invicta’s Subaqua watch ($750) in surgical-grade stainless steel is powered by a Swiss movement and is water-resistant to 500 meters. left: Lalo visiting Hospital Bernard Mevs in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, earlier this year, where the Invicta Care Foundation helps support the efforts of Project Medishare.
my life and career, I’ve seen a lot of different areas of
the watch business, especially identifying where other
brands are lacking and learning from that. My family
was mainly involved in distribution, but we had a lot of
interest in developing and manufacturing, so I set out to
build our own brand.
What led you to take over Invicta?
Invicta is a very old brand, having been established in
1837. In the 1970s, many brands started going dormant
or disappearing during “The Quartz Revolution,”
where Swiss mechanical watches were no longer
wanted. Because of that, we were able to reactivate
Invicta in the early ’90s. It was particularly interesting to
me because my grandfather had a connection to the
brand due to his work as one of the agents and distribu-
tors of Invicta in Latin America.
How does South Florida influence the design of
your timepieces?
Invicta has a [strong] connection to the water, and a lot
of our designs are themed by the ocean. Technomarine,
a brand we acquired earlier this year, has a similarly
strong connection to the water and to the world of
Invicta, which made it an obvious addition to
the collection.
What are some of the good works that
are coming out of your family’s
charity, the Invicta Care
Foundation?
Most of our work focuses on children in
need and establishing health initiatives
for people of all ages. As an example, we
have some centers in Ecuador that are
helping build and supply schools and
healthcare facilities. [Additionally] we do a lot
of work in Haiti. Their proximity to Miami and
incredible need has moved us to help.
Can you share any sneak peeks for 2016
timepieces?
We will be launching several key initiatives: the
Subaqua VI, which is probably the most complicated
watch we’ve ever built; expanding our Bolt Zeus line,
which is getting a new execution; and [the] recently
launched Time Universe, which is an analog Swiss-
made five-time-zone masterpiece. It is available now,
but a new generation will be launching later in 2016.
The expansion of the Technomarine line is a big
project as well, [and] we are paying particular attention
to bringing up the product design and quality of the
pieces [while] increasing customer relationships to give
the brand a renewal. 1455 NW 107th Ave., Miami,

Straight aFlorida–born model and University oF
miami stUdent ailey Hsu brings beaUty
and brains to next model management.
by jared shapiro
“I fall into that category of ‘ethnically ambiguous,’” says 21-year-old
model Kailey Hsu, whose Chinese and Hungarian heritage is helping
her establish a niche in the fashion industry, including major shoots for
Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam and Elle Mexico. “Sometimes they think I’m
Indian, sometimes they think I’m Hawaiian. A lot of people don’t
know what to think but just know my look is different.”
Hsu’s career has taken off quickly—this past September, she walked
for Givenchy at New York’s Fashion Week. “I’m not very fashion savvy,
but I know that was a big deal,” says Hsu, whose uncle—a former model
turned photographer—took the photos that got her signed to Next Model
Management Miami. “I see girls like Gigi Hadid backstage at shows and
my mouth drops open.”
Off the runway, Hsu is a student at the University of Miami—origi-
nally pre-law before switching to criminology and media management,
“to learn more about US government regulation and US law and help
others where it is deserved.” According to the South Florida native—a
former North Broward Preparatory School student—she’s always been a
bit of a brainiac, a straight-A student who didn’t quite recognize her
outer beauty. “In Florida our perception of beauty is different,” she says.
“People used to call me Yao Ming when I was younger because I had a
growth spurt and was very tall very early on. I’m 5-foot-11 now. Luckily
traveling the world has shown me that beauty comes in all different
shapes and sizes.”
While Hsu has a boyfriend, love and everything else outside of school
and modeling can wait. “You need to be passionate about your career or
what you are studying,” she says. “But when you are 18 years old, it is way
too young to know what you want to do for the rest of your life. I’m inter-
ested in everything, and I think my life is going to go a different direction
each week.”
For now, Hsu is keeping her attention on maintaining the straight and
narrow. “I just want to make my parents proud, be successful, be a good
role model for my younger siblings, and become the best version of
myself possible,” she says. “And I want to make a footprint in the indus-
try. There’s a long-lasting stigma of following what’s trending at the
moment, and the truth of the matter is I don’t get sucked into it. I’m just
being [myself].” OD
South Florida–based model Kailey Hsu says she
looks up to legendary models, like Kate Moss.
Says Hsu of Moss, “She’s so cool and badass.”

Day OwlZac courtney, Director of Day anD nightlife for 1 hotel & homes south beach
anD cofounDer of teal blue management, leaDs an entertaining life. by carla torres
For many club-going Miamians, 6:18 am marks bedtime after a night’s worth of revelry. But for Zac Courtney, 6:18 am is his wake-up call. “By 7:15 I’m in the gym,” he says. “By 9:30 I’m usually done with my first round of e-mails.” As pro-prietor of his own artist-management company, Teal Blue Management, and the head honcho of round-the-clock programming at the sustainably chic 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach, Courtney makes every second count.
No stranger to the nightlife industry, the New York native had his first taste of Miami social life during the heydays of Opium and Prive. “My first official proper in-house gig was as nightlife ambassador,” he says. That was at Morgans Hotel Group, overseeing Mondrian, Delano and Shoreclub, as well the famed Florida Room.
It wasn’t long before SBE came knocking and Courtney was brought on board as regional marketing manager for the swank SLS South Beach during its first season. Ready to retire (or so he thought) from the Miami club scene, the nightlife veteran took his talents with him and partnered with an agency called DeepSleep Studio before eventually setting up Teal Blue Management. “The growth potential on the talent-management side is much bigger,” he says. “I’m not just limited to one venue.”
When he’s not managing almost a dozen local and national talents, including Pirate Stereo, Damaged Goods, Scott Melker, and Panic Bomber, he’s setting up and breaking down DJ equipment (“the least glamorous part of my job”) as
director of day and nightlife operations at 1 Hotel & Homes. “I swore I was done,” he says, “but it’s such a good fit here and so different than any other nightlife program I’ve ever been involved in.”
Indeed, 1 Hotel & Home’s ecofriendly aesthetic is ingrained as much in its natural and organic design ele-ments as it is in all of Courtney’s events. From morning and full-moon rooftop yoga and Thursday’s soul oldies night, when only music pre-2000 is allowed, to candlelight litera-ture readings in the lobby and themed beach-cleanup races (think superheroes versus villains), Courtney is putting the consciousness into partying one South Beach soirée at a time. “It’s not just about charging $16 for a drink or paying $30,000 for a DJ,” Courtney says, “when you can put that money toward anything else [like the soon-to-come private beach club and strict daylife venue that will have a Burning
Man feel, complete with totem poles and dream catchers, and showcase local talent]. It’s about localizing the VIP treatment. And everybody is a VIP here.” 102 24th St., Miami Beach, 305-361-5100; homes.1hotels.com OD
“It’s such a good fit here and so different than any other nightlife program I’ve ever
been involved in,” says Zac Courtney, here on the

TAKING CENTRE STAGE JOINING THE MASSES MOVING TO MIAMI, UK-BORN CLARE LAVERTY
LEADS THE CHARGE IN PROMOTING SWIRE PROPERTIES’ BRICKELL CITY CENTRE. BY JON WARECH
Clare Laverty, seen on the roof of the hotel EAST, is
helping to bring the upscale urban lifestyle to Miami.
MY MIAMI
Clare Laverty settles into South
Florida life.
Where do you work out?
“I’m completely addicted to
Barry’s Bootcamp (1835 Purdy Ave., Miami Beach, 786-888-1699; barrysbootcamp.com),
and I’m going, like, four or fi ve
mornings a week at 6 AM. I think
it’s brilliant.”
Where can we fi nd you at
night? “I like Mignonette (210 NE 18th St., Miami, 305-374-4635; mignonettemiami.com). There’s no pretension to it. It’s got
a cool vibe.”
After eight years in Hong Kong working for Swire Properties, Clare Laverty was asked to relocate to Miami to serve as the firm’s assistant vice president of marketing and public relations. Her reaction? “Excitement,” says Laverty, who was born in England and will oversee market-ing for Brickell City Centre and the hotel EAST. “I’ve lived in London and Hong Kong—big, urban cities, which I’ve absolutely loved—but I’ve always had a real pull towards the ocean. The thought of being in sunshine with lots of fresh air and living on the beach was hugely appealing.”
Nowadays, it seems, few would disagree, as Laverty joins the mass of people moving to South Florida for a better quality of life. Equally appealing to her is her new job, which involves bringing more of that coveted urban lifestyle to our city. Swire first broke ground in Miami in 1979, when it developed Brickell Key, but with the $1.05 billion Brickell City Centre, the developer is taking Miami to new heights by creating the kind of mixed-use office, residen-tial, hotel, retail, and entertainment property that has flourished in China.
“There are so many unique aspects that as a marketer, it’s a bit of a dream project,” says Laverty, who notes that Miami’s growing public transportation system and evolving metropoli-tan development make the city ripe for this concept. “[Swire] creates these hubs where people live and work and play, and that’s not been done here. It’s a model that is working, and I think Miami is an incredibly international city, so there’s no reason why it shouldn’t have the same.”
One of Laverty’s favorite things about Miami is the citywide enthusiasm for growth. “I feel a much stronger change in development here than I anticipated,” she says, “and this inherent optimism in the air from everyone about Miami and how Miami is evolving—that’s been a welcome surprise.”
In the two months she has lived in Miami Beach (her belongings are still en route from China), Laverty has already enjoyed visiting Pérez Art Museum Miami and become addicted to Panther Coffee, and she soaks in everything that Brickell, Downtown, Wynwood, and other neighborhoods have to offer. She favors runs on the beach and is looking forward to bringing her parents over from England to escape the winter. And she’s also discovering how to just go with the flow. “I’ve learned in the last few years not to make plans,” Laverty says. “I think life laughs at plans.” Spoken like a true Miamian. OD P

While the national unemployment rate hovers
around five to seven percent, that number is
closer to 85 percent for people with intellectual
and developmental disabilities (IDD). But that’s
one statistic Best Buddies International is aiming
to change. “We really feel [employment] is the last
great frontier for our population and where we
need improvement,” founder and chairman
Anthony K. Shriver says of Best Buddies, which
hosts its annual Miami gala on November 20.
“We have a competitive white-collar-jobs pro-
gram and are working hard to develop internship
programs in high schools for [people with IDD].”
The organization, which celebrated its 25th
anniversary last year, sponsors practices to help
“Buddies” find employment, encourages compa-
nies to hire people with IDD, and hosts friendship
and mentoring programs as well as leadership
training. Best Buddies operates programs at 2,000
schools globally, affecting more than 900,000 peo-
ple with and without IDD; the philanthropy’s work
with schools will also be spotlighted at the Miami
gala. “I’m with a lot of our student volunteers, and
I think young people are desperately looking for
something bigger, more important than the dol-
lar,” says Shriver. “People with intellectual
disabilities can center your life in a really profound
way and teach you an enormous amount about
yourself, teach you about patience, compassion,
and the joys of daily life.”
That idea is inspiring Best Buddies’s latest
development: Sarge’s Place. The organization’s
first-ever housing project, named for Shriver’s
father, Sargent Shriver, is to be built in Miami
Beach in collaboration with St. Patrick’s Church.
“It’s got opportunities for people to volunteer,
sort of replicating a lot of the principles and val-
ues that I grew up with in my house,” says
Shriver, whose mom, Eunice Kennedy Shriver,
founded the Special Olympics. “We hope that
Sarge’s Place will be a first step for us in creating
opportunities for unique, special housing that’s
faith-based and supportive and a loving envi-
ronment for both people with intellectual
disabilities and nondisabled people.”
This month, the community can support Best
Buddies through the upcoming gala, which kicks
off with the Best Buddies Challenge, a 100k bike
ride, and culminates with the White Mass the day
after. “Everything we do we have the Buddies par-
ticipate and show their skill sets, whether it’s at
a 100-mile ride, or a gala, or a reading at the White

Fish TaleAmid An oceAn of mAgic city seAfood restAurAnts, Lure Fishbar hAs stAying power longer thAn A new york minute. by carla torres
It’s a Friday night at Lure Fishbar, and the maritime dining
room is flooded with raw and sushi platters brimming with
catch from half of the world’s seven seas. Men sporting
Tommy Bahama shirts and boat shoes slurp kusshi oysters
dressed in jalapeño ponzu while a group of bachelorettes
(tiaras and all) toast to happily ever after by clinking
skull-shaped ceramic glasses, inside of which is a deadly
cocktail dubbed the Tug Boat mixed by spirits virtuoso
Rob Ferrara and containing 140 percent proof rum. Just
two years in and the Miami outpost of Josh Capon’s
Manhattan flagship has already become a seafood haven
for locals and tourists alike, proof that if you can make it in
New York for a decade, you can absolutely make it
anywhere, especially in South Beach.
At Lure Fishbar, seared diver scallops with steamed clams, Spanish chorizo, rainbow chard, and potato purée in a pool of tomato broth are exemplary of chef John Iatrellis’s deft hand in handling seafood.

Where’s
all the
rum
Gone?
The answer to Captain
Jack Sparrow’s famous
tagline can be found at
The Rum Line at the
Loews Miami Beach
Hotel: a Key West- and
Hemingway-inspired
bungalow overfowing
with 150 types of rum
where you’ll be able to
drink tiki cocktails and
classic daiquiris like a
fsh, if a fsh were to drink
such things. Take a swig of
the Rum Line piña colada
(hand shaken and fnished
with coconut cream and
Tiki Bitters).
clockwise from far
left: Lure’s raw bar platter; the dining room; Executive Chef John Iatrellis previously worked at The Forge. top
right: Nautical-themed cocktails at The Rum Line bar, from left: the Catch and Release, Sergeant at Arms, and Auxiliary Ship.
Steering the kitchen is
Executive Chef John
Iatrellis, a Miami native of
Greek descent whose last
decade was spent at The
Forge, where he cooked his
way up the culinary ladder,
from line cook to executive
sous chef, before jumping
ship for Lure. “It was
definitely a challenge to
leave The Forge,” says the
self-trained chef. But who
needs culinary training
when you’ve been second in
charge at the city’s most
iconic steakhouse and now
head honcho at one of the
freshest fisheries in town?
At Lure, Capon and
Iatrellis share the same
simple approach: “to let
proteins speak for them-
selves, and don’t mask or hide
your food.” Less is indeed
more here, as best evidenced
by and tasted in the nigiri
and sashimi, flown in daily
from the Pacific Coast and
pristinely dressed. Think
torched salmon belly
lacquered with togarashi and
a dash of sea salt, king crab
slathered in lime mustard
sauce, or big-eye tuna spiked
with kisame wasabi.
But first, every meal at
Lure begins with biscuits,
which have scallion and
cheddar baked right into
them. “It’s the one thing I
can’t help but eat daily,”
admits Iatrellis. “That and at
least one piece of sashimi.”
(The salmon belly is his
favorite.)
Of course when your
entire day is spent handling
fish, you’re bound to not just
have a taste but some serious
tricks up your sleeve. “How
you treat fish, or any food
down to your carrots, is
extremely important,” says
Iatrellis. “From the way you
grab it in the walk-in and the
way you season it on the
cutting board to the way you
place it on the sauté pan and
pick it up and transfer it onto
the plate, you have to have a
very delicate approach.”
Perhaps the biggest
delicacy here isn’t the
bucatini with butter-poached
lobster and lobster uni crema
or the filet mignon and
lobster surf and turf, as one
might gather from reading
the menu alone, but rather
the grilled whole dorade,
which, besides speaking to
Iatrellis’s Mediterranean
background, gets a Miami
treatment. “One thing we do
here that they don’t do in
New York is we give guests
the topper option,” says the
chef. By that, he means
stuffing the briny sea animal
with four ounces of Alaskan
king crab, done Oscar style
(with shaved asparagus and a
béarnaise sauce), or Maine
lobster sautéed with shallots
and lemon zest. “It really
gives guests the option to
intensify the fish with their
other favorite crustaceans
and shellfish.”
Sure, there are plenty more
seafood restaurants in Miami,
but none are running as tight
a ship as Lure and, more
importantly, are doing it with
a whale of a good time. Just
ask the bachelorettes. Loews

Live Foreverdowntown’s covert watering hole, Libertine, is as deliberately spirited as its surroundings. by galena mosovich
Music aficionados and cocktail connoisseurs in the know trek to
Libertine, a speakeasy in the 24-hour entertainment district, for
a taste of Miami’s underground. Prohibition-era bevvies and
eclectic tunes, from Depeche Mode and Blondie to Holy Ghost!
and Groove Armada, keep guests here until the wee hours. Dark
and sexy, this mysterious candlelit lounge is styled like a scene
from Interview with the Vampire: Subway tiles, 150-year-old
mirrors, and antique apothecary vessels line the walls, harmo-
nizing nicely with the 18th-century white marble fireplace. The
trompe l’oeil f loor offers the trippy illusion of thousands of
pennies sorted by finish. The cocktail of choice? The Libertine,
of course, a variation on the bar’s signature Manhattanesque
cocktail that’s at once grungy and glamorous. Here, a peek
behind the pour....
Raging Bulleit
Expect a dynamic blend of Bulleit rye whiskey, sweet vermouth,
elderf lower liqueur, Cognac, and a dash of bitters. The ingredi-
ents are stirred for nearly a minute in an elegant mixing glass,
strained, and poured into an oversize old fashioned glass with one
giant rock to keep the complex elixir cool from start to finish.
Honey Do
The Bulleit imparts a smooth, sippable blend of oak with vanilla,
honey, and spice. The smokiness from the charred oak barrels in
which it’s aged continues to smolder even after the herbaceous
sweet vermouth and the ethereal elderf lower liqueur are added
to the mix. (It takes a strong base spirit like rye to stand up to
sweetness!) The Cognac—a very misunderstood liquor—liberates a
beautiful layer of aromatic excellence, which reminds connois-
seurs of New Orleans’s Vieux Carré cocktail.
BefoRe SunRiSe
The bar’s discreet entrance is hidden beyond a long corridor lined
with vintage chicken wire, glass, and raw steel columns. The party
here is decidedly late-night, usually lasting till around 6 am. After
all, we’re mere mortals. 40 NE 11th St., Miami, 305-363-2120;

American Dream THE PUBBELLY BOYS TAKE THEIR CRAFT TO

Miami’s undisputed kings of pork, the Pubbelly Boys, are
expanding from the beach to downtown, where they’re set-
ting up shop at the Langford Hotel (formerly the city’s historic
Beaux Arts bank building). Although originally planned as a
reincarnation of PB Steak, PB Station will be more than just a
steakhouse. “We’re mixing what a seafood house and a steak-
house should be, but in a way that Miami hasn’t seen before,”
says chef/partner Jose Mendin. That means a cross between char-
cuterie and raw bar (think king crab terrines, lobster sausages,
and shrimp mortadella), along with cavatelli octopus Bolognese
and Pubbelly’s famed bacon-wrapped dates, only stuffed
with smoked brisket. 121 SE First St., Miami, 305-537-7040

iSSue CeleBration. by carla torres
It was a fashionable evening indeed as supermodel Kate King
debuted her first Ocean Drive cover for the annual Fall Fashion
September issue invitation-only soirée. True to stylish form, King
looked (and dressed) the part in an enchanting Dolce & Gabbana
floral nude minidress blooming with long-stemmed red roses and
matching gold slippers à la Wizard of Oz. A part-time Florida gal
and admitted beach junkie, the 21-year-old beauty kindly lived up
to her tattoo (the words be kind grace her right wrist) as she
conversed and shared her healthful ways with VIPs, even indulg-
ing in a macaron or two from the Parisian-inspired Café Nikki
located in world-renowned party haven Nikki Beach Miami.
The face for D&G’s fragrance Dolce was all smiles with her
boyfriend—20-year-old (yes, she’s older) London-based fashion
photographer Ash Kingston—in hand. As new-fangled South
Florida residents, the newly hot couple are already warming
things up romantically, professionally, and fashionably.

Before embarking on an ambitious and career-defining Las Vegas residency, Jennifer Lopez brings the heat back
to Miami for a one-night-only concert.by MARK ELLWOOD
Jennifer Lopez is deep in
the auditioning process
for her new Las Vegas
residency, All I Have.
She’s whittling down
hundreds of hopefuls
keen to join the dance
troupe, and when it
comes to assessing them, Lopez is a no-nonsense
critic. “I started as a dancer, so I have an eye for
it. I’ve done it my whole life,” she shrugs.
Before her breakout turn as a booty-shaking
Fly Girl on In Living Color, Lopez was a backup
dancer in Janet Jackson videos and for New Kids
on the Block at the 1991 American Music Awards
(this year, she returned to the same show, albeit as
the headlining host). Such experience has given
Lopez a pro’s perspective on those rooms full of
hopefuls. “Sometimes other people—the music
department or my management—might like a
person, but I’m, like, ‘Oh, they’re a little bit weak
in this part; there’s not enough technique.’” One
person who has already made the cut: 19-year old
Miami native Gaby Diaz, whose prize package
for winning the most recent season of So You Think
You Can Dance included a few dates as part of
Lopez’s troupe.
Hopefully, Diaz is diligently practicing her
pliés, if choreographer Phil Black, Lopez’s one-
time dance teacher, is right. Black also schooled
Madonna and John Travolta, but he said proudly
that then–budding star Lopez was a more mem-
orable pupil than either the Material Girl or
Tony Manero. Lopez, he explained, worked
harder than anyone in a very competitive envi-
ronment. She chuckles at the mention of her
former mentor. “It’s always been my approach to
performing, to work, to everything I do in life: I
give it all I have,” she says. “That’s why it’s the
name of my show.”
Jen (her team never calls her J.Lo) is the latest
pop diva to take up residency in Las Vegas: An
initial batch of 20 shows begins on January 20,
2016, at Planet Hollywood’s Axis Theater, and
the stint runs through early summer. Britney
Spears and Mariah Carey were the most recent
A-listers to headline in Vegas, but the spectacle
that Lopez is planning is likely to eclipse even
those megastars. “I want it to be a high-energy,
Bronx kind of block party,” she says, her New
York twang still intact. “The most exciting shows
make you dance, and scream, and jump up and
down. I want people to really let loose.” She
expects her eventual onstage team to have more
than just impressive footwork. “They’re bringing
“There’s a heaT To The ciTy. i like ThaT feeling in MiaMi.”
the story to life,” Lopez says, “so they’re an inte-
gral part of the show, acting a little bit, even.”
Before she decamps to Vegas, though, Lopez
will headline right here in Miami alongside
Pitbull and Prince Royce for iHeartRadio’s
Fiesta Latina concert at the AmericanAirlines
Arena on November 7. Filming the noir thriller
Blood and Wine with Jack Nicholson 20 years ago
first brought Lopez to Miami Beach; she was so
smitten, she bought a house on the celebrity strip
of North Bay Road, where she lived for several
years flanked by the homes of the surviving
members of the Bee Gees. The ’80s rocker Phil
Collins now owns the home. “I’ve always loved
Miami,” she raves. “I love anywhere tropical,
that feeling of being by the ocean.”
Work brings Lopez back often. In 2014,
aboard a yacht in South Beach (naturally), she
filmed a sexy dance music video for the official
World Cup song, “We Are One (Ole Ola).” She
used the surrounding time to vacation with her
kids, twins Emme and Max. Her fondest memo-
ries of her time in Miami were the chance to hole

up with friends and family in that palatial
home; now, though, she has one favorite spot
she’ll always visit on every trip: “I love Casa
Tua, but the paparazzi are always there waiting
for you as you go out or in,” she explains. “I do
have a very close girlfriend who lives down
here; she’s an artist, and she always takes me
out to little places by the water.”
Miami’s style resonates with Lopez’s Latina
roots, too—earlier this year, she was spotted shop-
ping in the Design District, at Christian Louboutin
and local boutique Trend by Sebastien James: “It’s
always summer down here; so sexy, there’s a heat
to the city. I like that feeling in Miami.”
She’ll definitely channel some of that heat into
her costumes for All I Have. Wardrobe for any
show would be an obsession for someone who
has an entire drawer at home devoted to yellow
diamonds and has said her “favorite thing to do”
is f lipping through fashion magazines and mark-
ing up the pages that have outfits she wants to
try. To create a Vegas-ready closet, Lopez is
working with her longtime secret weapon, styl-
ing team Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, and
calling on the same roster of designers that has
kept her red carpet–ready over the past few
years: Balmain, Zuhair Murad and, of course,
Versace. It was Donatella Versace who gave
Lopez her first global pop-culture moment: the
unforgettable slash-fronted, green palm-print
dress the performer wore to the 2000 Grammys
as the date of her then-boyfriend, Diddy. Lopez
still has that dress hanging pretty at home, but
she says it won’t make an appearance during her
Vegas shows. “Oh, I still have it, but we’re going
to do all kinds of new stuff,” she says. “I redid the
Versace dress for my Bronx homecoming show
[in 2014], so I don’t think I’ll repeat myself.”
Planning her new costumes, though, is clearly
one of her favorite parts of prepping for the
Vegas residency. “It’s like a fantasy,” she coos.
“When you think of Diana Ross, Cher, or Barbra
Streisand, it’s their costumes that became their
signature.” Indeed, Lopez has cited Streisand as
an icon before, calling her “classic, timeless”
and acknowledging that she would gladly model
her career on the Oscar winner’s. Will she chan-
nel Babs in Vegas—maybe a head wrap, or two?
Lopez takes a deep breath, then exhales: “Oh,
I’m just looking to do the best Jennifer Lopez
show anyone has ever seen.”
She does admit to drawing inspiration from
the Rat Pack, though. Her Vegas residency, she
says, harks back to the days of Sammy, Frank,
and Dean: “It’s a much more intimate experi-
ence, and it’s about real performers—and not
everybody can really do that.”
There are challenges, though, to performing
like that in Sin City, where the dry desert air,
combined with ubiquitous air-conditioning,
can be punishing on a singer’s vocal cords.
“Oh, I’ve run into that trouble in Vegas before,”
Lopez says, wryly. “It’s super dry, so you have
to take care of yourself and have tons of humid-
ifiers.” As long as Jennifer’s voice holds, she
promises to perform the songs fans expect,
although she’s planning to keep the set list
f luid, adding fan-favorite album cuts or songs
she’s long loved herself. “I want the show to be
always changing, so it’s a unique experience
every time—one night a Selena song, and
another maybe something by Diana Ross.” She
plans to take inspiration, too, from whatever
she’s humming in her kitchen at home; right
now, that’s ballads by Sam Smith: “That song
‘Lay Me Down’? I really, really love it.”
Before she can focus full-time on the set, the
set list, and all those sexy costumes for All I
Have, Lopez has both the Fiesta Latina show
and a few more weeks of shooting for her first
TV drama series, Shades of Blue. Lopez plays a
single mom who works as an FBI agent in New
York City and struggles with the morals of her
job. “It’s set in the world of cops, but it’s really
about human nature—how we’re always riding
a line of what’s right and what’s wrong, that slip-
pery slope,” she explains. Once she finishes
shooting, she’ll dedicate herself to prepping for
her Vegas extravaganza.
Lopez will, doubtlessly, be scoping out the
competition, though she has already seen
“Britney, Shania [Twain], Celine [Dion], and all
the Cirque [de Soleil] shows,” and she’ll relish
the opportunity to indulge at the luxury malls.
Lopez doesn’t drink, and has said she has long
left behind the late-night partying for which she
was known during her Diddy-and-Versace era.
Gambling isn’t a passion, either, though her
Vegas stint will be especially appealing to one
member of the family, her retired-schoolteacher
mom, Guadalupe, who relishes the slots in
Atlantic City, New Jersey. “Even if she weren’t [a
fan of gambling], she would still come and see
me,” Lopez says, laughing, before pausing and
adding, “Well, I like to think.” The rest of us will
be right beside Guadalupe. iHeart Radio Fiesta

ANYONE WHO VALUES FARM-TO-TABLE FOOD OR DRIVES A
TESLA is just as likely to appreciate organic cotton sheets, energy-efficient
refrigerators, and houses made of reclaimed timber or local stone. But the
complexities of sustainable design can make building or furnishing an eco-
friendly home sufficiently mind-numbing to deter even the most avid
environmentalist from taking on the task. Yet if a handful of new develop-
ments in South Florida are any indication, green design promises to become
an integral part of a new generation of condominiums and single-family
homes, making eco-conscious living the next wave in an ever-expanding
green revolution seeping into every aspect of our lives.
And why not? Situated as close as they are to coastal waters, residents of
Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and other South Florida communities are espe-
cially attuned to the challenges that rising sea levels bring. So taking steps to
live in ways that reduce carbon footprints and limit impact on the environ-
ment makes good sense. Whether the impetus for the movement comes from
the grassroots up or the top down, an emphasis on environmentally con-
scious design is not only eminently practical, but—with a growing band of
artists, furniture designers, and architects producing green products and
residences—it’s becoming de rigueur among the style set, too. And thanks to
higher standards in manufacturing techniques and stricter governmental
regulations on everything from emissions to energy efficiency to water con-
servation, cultivating an eco-friendly home has also never been easier.
Among those spearheading current efforts to design sustainable residen-
tial projects in South Florida is Miami-based international architect Chad
Oppenheim, whose firm is designing not just sustainable buildings but a
whole new sustainable community called Metropica in Sunrise, where he
says the nearby Sawgrass Mills mall attracts more people than the entire city
of Rio de Janeiro each year. “Since it ranks as one of the top places in visita-
tion in the world, the developer saw an opportunity to create an urban center
that would feed off the activity of the mall and provide people with a nearby
place to live, work, and play,” says Oppenheim. “The core idea of our project
was to create an incredible natural oasis, like Central Park [in New York],
lined with buildings and interactive sculptural components and play areas
to fill the missing gap of accessible gardens and parks in this area.”
Metropica’s ultra-energy-efficient structures were also designed to
include other eco-friendly features, such as a gray-water recycling system,
a rain water collection tank for irrigation, and deep terraces and trellis
systems to encourage residents to cultivate their own gardens. “Creating
density here in a community that allows you to go to the office or go grocery
shopping without getting into a car allows for the same kind of carbon offset
you’d find in urban areas,” says the architect, who is also collaborating with
local developer Jacob Abramson of Golden Properties in Miami to create a
collection of environmentally conscious single-family luxury homes in
Golden Beach.
“A home should only be described as a luxury home if it entails green
aspects as standard,” says Abramson, who is incorporating elements like

solar roof tiles, heat-resistant paint, and water purifica-
tion systems in his ultra-high-end homes and regularly
attends green building workshops with his team to stay
ahead of the sustainable building curve.
Residential projects like these and others, such as the
recently completed 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach or
the Oceana condominium now under construction in
Bal Harbour, merge high-minded sustainable design
ideas with high style, making green dwellings as easy
on the eye as they are on the planet. They also make
green living easier to embrace by ordinary people, who
may be able to whip up an organic quiche by them-
selves but generally must rely on the help of experts to
create eco-minded homes or interiors.
“Some eco-friendly buildings can feel cold, but we
wanted to really bring the sustainable design to life with
spaces that would make you live, breathe, and feel
nature the minute you walk in the door,” says Liubasha
Rose, vice president of design for Starwood Capital
Group, developer of 1 Hotel & Homes. “Instead of slick,
typical high-end Miami interiors, we wanted the prop-
erty to feel very ‘beach house,’ with oyster shell and
sand tones, but at the same time, in trying to nail the
vibe, we didn’t want it to look too rustic.”
Working with the New York City–based Meyer Davis
Studio, Starwood crafted artful compositions in public
spaces with natural materials like reclaimed Javanese
teak root, bleached walnut, mushroom wood, and
spalted maple to form layered backdrops for low-slung
linen-covered sofas, leather sling chairs, and driftwood
side tables, creating an atmosphere that blends the Zen
refinement of a Japanese tea house with a relaxed,
beachy air. The furniture-and-finishes package for the
interiors of the residences here—designed by Brazilian
designer Debora Aguiar—extend the dreamy, nature-
infused spirit of the public spaces with wool sisal-look
rugs, rough-hewn white oak or wood-grained porcelain
tile f loors, reclaimed wood tables, and sofas and
chairs—some from Artefacto—upholstered in cotton
and linen.
In addition to tactile materials and inspired furnish-
ings, new eco-conscious dwellings also often include
thoughtful landscape features that reinforce the con-
nection with nature. “We are embracing a native
landscape by Enzo Enea that is accustomed to growing
in the South Florida heat and uses 75 percent less water
for irrigation than other types of plants,” says Marcos
Corti, CEO of Consultatio, the developer working
with the Miami-based international architecture firm
Arquitectonica on the exceptionally beautiful archi-
tecture of the Oceana Bal Harbour condominium and
with Italian architect Piero Lissoni on its interiors. “The
low-e glass wrapping the building not only limits heat
transmission inside but also buffers sound while bring-
ing in ocean views and reinforcing the sense you’re
living with Mother Nature.”
Just as ready-made eco-friendly residences take the
heavy lifting out of creating a sustainable home for the
consumer, enhanced manufacturing standards now
make decorating them with sustainable furniture and
finishes simpler, too. “Going green is easier now because
over the years, society, the government entities that
look to protect us, and manufacturers are getting better
at it,” says Michael Wolk, an industrial and interior
designer with Wolk Design in Wynwood. “Products
and appliances are becoming more eco-friendly not so
much from demand but to meet stricter government
standards. So today when you go to the store, you’ll get
an energy-efficient refrigerator not because you’re a
founder of Earth Day, but because that’s where the
industry has gone.”
“There’s a big emphasis among smaller hands-on
makers to make interesting products using repurposed
industrial or cast-off elements,” says Nisi Berryman, a
designer and owner of Niba Home, a fine-furnishings
boutique in the Design District. Berryman represents
eco-friendly product designers and makers like
Remains Lighting, which produces fixtures in a
LEED-certified facility in Brooklyn, and Luis Pons, a
local designer who makes mirrored glass pieces for
Berryman in Miami. The icing on the cake of the green
design trend, consciously curated furnishings and
objects like these also make it easier than ever to go
green in style. Says Berryman, “These kinds of prod-
ucts not only invigorate the community, but really
resonate with our clients.” OD
“A home should only be described As A luxury home if it entAils green Aspects As stAndArd.”

Hotshot Chefs
Chefs and restaurateurs around town agree that Miami is the place to be. Here, a look at fve local chefs everyone is talking about (and their delicious concoctions).

to duck breast and veggies, GiorGio
rapicavoli turns anything he touches
into edible gold.
by carla torres
Most 10-year-old kids spend their free time playing video games—not Giorgio Rapicavoli. Back then, the Miamian of Argentine and Italian descent would toy with kitchen knives and make gnoc-chi from scratch with his mom. His frst e-mail address was “CHFBOYRDE8.” “Even then I knew I wanted to be a chef,” says Rapicavoli. But what he didn’t know at the time was that he was destined for fame. The frst Magic City chef to win chopped, Rapicavoli banked on his success (and the $10,000 prize) to open Eating House, a six-month pop-up that has turned into a perma-nent Coral Gables mainstay.
From the get-go, gourmands went nuts over Rapicavoli’s rich, inventive fare (think truffe carbonara and chicken and waffes)—and they still can’t get enough. Neither can the networks. During this interview, Rapicavoli received a phone call from Food Network to flm his famed Cap’n Crunch pancakes for a new show—which will mark the dish’s third appearance on that channel alone. Be-yond the small screen, the unstoppable chef is looking forward to a greener future and to the premiere of his next venture: Glass & Vine.
How has Eating House evolved
since its pop-up days? The menu is a lot lighter. I’ve tried to fnd simplicity in dishes without compromising favor. You learn over time that fancy herbs are really expensive, so we’ve concentrated the favor profles of the food itself. The plating style has also changed, and 75 percent of the menu is vegetarian. After Chopped, you were offered
many jobs in established New York
restaurants. Why stay in Miami?
I love Miami. This is my city, and I’d rather be part of the change in the food scene here and feed my friends and family. We’ve been open three and half years now, which is a long time for a small restaurant, and we’re proud to say that we did it without any partners, any investors, but by adapting and making due with what we had.Your Cap’n Crunch pancakes took
the breakfast world by storm.
How did you even think of
that? Cap’n Crunch was my favorite childhood cereal and the original plan was supposed to be cereal pancakes and rotate them out weekly, but after the frst try we didn’t think it could get any better, so they stuck.Your next project, Glass &
Vine, is due to open soon.
What can you tell us about it? Be ready to see a lot, lot, lot of vegetables. Duck is also a standout on
your menu; do you remember
your frst time eating it? The frst memorable duck I had was at Tropical Chinese when I was a kid. That Peking duck is still ridiculous.Why duck over other proteins?
It’s a lot more favorful than traditional poultry. Normally, it’s cooked in a pan, but we grill the duck, which isn’t too traditional, so it gets the smoky favor and a golden brown kind of color. The texture also ends up being differ-ent—like a top-to-bottom medium rare as opposed to warm-cooked.What is the secret to cooking
duck perfectly? My sous chef, Adriana Egozcue, but you can call her “Lip.” 804 ponce de leon Blvd.,

On the BarBieFrom a sunburned country to a sunburned
county, Australian import AAron
Brooks brings the heat to EdgE
stEAk & BAr.
by david rosendorf
For a chef who now seems like a local
fxture (he recently hit his four-year
Miami anniversary), Aaron Brooks sure
traveled a long way to get here. The
Australian native left home to work in
British Columbia before making his
way east to Boston, then south to open
Edge Steak & Bar in the Four Seasons
Hotel in Brickell. Despite being hid-
den on the seventh foor of the tallest
building on Miami’s skyline, Edge is a
popular locals’ hangout, partly because
the restaurant serves great steaks and
also because it showcases some serious
old-school technique, like with its in-
house charcuterie and the bright, fresh
favors of its local produce. But it’s also
because Brooks might be one of the
friendliest guys in the business.
Had you spent any time in Miami
before arriving here? Never. I’d
only been living in the States for about
fve years and there was this great job
in Miami. I really wanted to go, but
I didn’t know anything about Miami
other than CsI. I started doing research,
and the food reminded me—other than
the Latin infuence—a lot of home.
So when I came down here, with the
climate, it threw me back to home.
They wanted to do a steakhouse, and I
said, “Fantastic!” because [steak is] what
I grew up cooking.
What has changed in the Miami
dining world in the time you’ve
been here? The local places are
killing it. I went to Mignonette
last night—what an awesome little
restaurant. It was such a professional
vibe, it had such a good energy, and
the food was fantastic. It was simple,
not complicated. They do everything
right. And I think Miami’s getting a
little more that way; there are a lot of
chefs who just want to do good food. I
see a lot of investing in the local chefs.
You have a strong local following.
How do you do that? To be honest,
I just think about what I would want.
There are so many great restaurants
in this city, and if [people] come down
to my lobby and my restaurant isn’t
packed, it’s not going to have any
atmosphere and they’ll go somewhere
else. So, frst and foremost, I target
locals and give them what they want.
What’s the dish you’re particularly
excited about? I’m the lamb guy, so
there’s always a great lamb dish on the
menu, but I’m really excited about our
charcuterie board.
The charcuterie board? Tell all…
The craft and patience that go into it
make it an old-school labor of love;
inspiration comes from a lot of old
books I have combined with variations
of classic and modern favors I have
been introduced to. As for the process,
some take up to a week to produce,
while others can be put together in
merely a few hours. Take our spicy
tasso ham, for example: We create
a special brine with salt sugar and
aromatics, then remove a specifc cut
from the pork butt. We brine the meat
for one week before applying a rub
of select spices. The ham then rests
for 24 hours before hot-smoking for
eight hours. The result is oh so good—
succulent, smoky, and spicy.
What’s on the board right now?
It’s got tasso ham, brined and smoked
lamb ham, kielbasa sausage, chicken
liver pâté, pork and pistachio pâté, soy-
cured porchetta di testa, truffe-stuffed
pig’s trotter, and assorted pickles. 1435

“I’m impressed with how excited people are about food in Miami—they’re yearning for something different.”—brad kilgore
Altered StAteSBrad Kilgore transforms his style with
alter, and in doing so, he revolutionizes
Wynwood’s dining scene.
by lee brian schrager
“We put a lot of work into the playlist
here,” says Brad Kilgore, the chef at
Alter, where vibey, rock ’n’ roll beats
are the sound track for sophisticated yet
accessible favors amid industrial décor.
Trained by Michelin-starred chefs in
some of Chicago’s fnest restaurants
(including L20, Alinea, and Boka) and
calling Laurent Gras one of the most
infuential fgures in his career, this
Kansas City native, who has been in
Miami for fve years, has decided
to go off on his own.
Kilgore has rarely missed a beat
since his high school days when, while
attending the James Beard Foundation’s
accredited program at Broadmoor, he
was encouraged by instructor Bob Bras-
sard to pursue a career in the culinary
arts. During his memorable stints at Azul
and J&G Grill, Miami diners were quick
to note his intricate, boundary-stretching
dishes, which are often constructed with
a masterly combination of nuanced
storytelling and presentational razzle-
dazzle. Although he’d had several offers
to open his own place over the years,
Kilgore was fnally convinced when
his business partners sat him down and
asked, “What do you want to do?”
How is Alter different from what you
envisioned? It’s better than I thought.
I’m impressed with how excited people
are about food in Miami—they’re yearn-
ing for something different. The people
really create the atmosphere here.
How does it differ from your prior
experience? Alter is certainly more re-
laxed than what I was used to earlier in
my career, which was in really opulent
settings. But just because food is well
thought-out and executed doesn’t mean
you have to wear a suit and tie and wait
for your birthday to enjoy it. Food is
certainly the star [here].
What is your culinary philosophy?
My food is ingredient-driven, with a twist
in the approach. I call it “the kicker”—
that one surprise that diners won’t
see coming.
Do you use a lot of local ingredients?
I’m a big supporter of local, seasonal
ingredients, though it’s not easy here
in Miami. I’m willing to invest in it to
help build it, starting with beginning
to cultivate about fve acres outside of
Tampa. I’m even going to grow my own
garlic, and hopefully by next year we’re
growing nearly all our produce.
Is there one dish in particular that
speaks to you as a chef? The blue
crab shumai—an evolution of the
crispy crab dish I did at J&G Grill. It’s
a good representation of my style, with
its combination of worldly flavors. It’s
got Japanese-style shumai dough, a
South American sauce, Thai-inspired
flavors, and the kumquat purée is
distinctly Floridian.
What’s the kicker in it? The culantro
relish. It’s chimichurri-inspired with
panang curry favors and ingredients.
What’s next for Alter? A bar area
outside; the pergola is on its way over
from Italy. It will focus on Florida,
highlighting tropical ingredients that
people might not know are indigenous
to the area.

“I love to eat flled pasta…. These ravioli are flled with pecorino,
a bit of ricotta, and Sicilian pistachios.”—dena marino
“To plate our handmade pastas, we use
spatulas, not tongs [to avoid tearing it],” says
Dena Marino.
“Shaved pecorino and toasted pistachios top off this dish. I use a sharp vegetable peeler to get a fine shave of the delicate cheese.”
“Our pastas simmer in our sauces, so they absorb the flavor of
whatever sauce they are accompanied by. It makes
a huge difference!”
“Our beautiful handmade ravioli in handmade pasta bowls from our favorite people at Calistoga Pottery. A few pieces of rustic ciabiatta soak up the sauce!”

Rustic ElEgancEIt takes years to become a great chef, but
for Dena MarIno of MC KItChen,
the time is now.
by lee klein
There’s no such thing as a shortcut to
becoming a great chef. Nowadays you
can jump-start your career by appearing
on a television food show, but to reach
the level at which you’re universally
respected by the public and your peers
takes decades. Few understand the
distinction better than Dena Marino,
chef-partner at MC Kitchen.
The New Jersey native took the fast
track by matching skills with Masaharu
Morimoto on Iron Chef america (and
making multiple appearances on other
Food Network series), but she is also a
graduate of The Culinary Institute of
America and has toiled for two-plus
decades on the arduous trail to true
chefdom—not including the time she
spent as a child in “Nonna’s classroom.”
Marino’s sterling résumé includes
fve years with esteemed chef Michael
Chiarello at Tra Vigne in St. Helena,
California, followed by eight years
at Chiarello’s Ajax Tavern in Aspen,
Colorado, plus fve more at Aspen’s
Ellina and her own D19. In 2012, she
and friend Brandy Coletta (the “C”
in MC Kitchen) opened their highly
lauded modern Italian restaurant
in Miami’s Design District.
How did watching your grand-
mother and great-grandmother in
the kitchen infuence you? They
were from the Bari and Calabria
regions of Italy and made their own
salumi, pasta, cheese, cakes…. Just
having the visuals of that stuck in your
head makes a huge difference.
Your ideal meal… Being at home
with family, barbecuing and drinking
a cold beer.
Your most intimidating meal? At my
frst Aspen Food & Wine Classic, I basi-
cally had to cook for everyone in our
feld: Danny Meyer, Tom Colicchio,
Mario Batali, Lidia Bastianich, Emeril
Lagasse, Eric Ripert, Anthony Bour-
dain… no lie, all in the dining room at
the same time. That was probably the
craziest moment ever in my career.
Three adjectives to describe
your food… Fully favored, simple,
and elegant.
Like much of your cuisine,
your ravioli with Florida rabbit
and vinegar sugo has a rustic
simplicity to it. We get these
great rabbits from Lake Meadow
Naturals in Ocoee, so you don’t
have to do much. There are just
four other ingredients: pasta,
pecorino, pistachio, and vinegar.
How do you prepare it? We
lightly sear the rabbit and slow-
cook it—in white wine instead
of red—just enough that it falls
off the bone, not enough that it
shreds. The vinegar gives a layer
of tanginess that cuts the richness
of the rabbit and braising liquid,
and we bring it all together with
fresh sage, roasted pistachios, and
shaved pecorino.
The ravioli are so plump! I
love to eat flled pasta, but you get
tortellini so many times where you
don’t even know what’s in it. We
make sure you can taste exactly
what’s inside of ours. These are
flled with pecorino, a bit of
ricotta, and Sicilian pistachios.
The next big thing is… I’m look-
ing! What keeps popping into the
back of my head are stews, with
grains and vegetables like braised
greens. I’m ready for winter.

Busy BeeOpened since last month, NaiYara already
has all of Miami buzzing over authentic Thai
cuisine—another Chef Bee success story.
by ingrid hoffmann
Having earned his moniker for his
workaholic ways, Chef Bee—given name
Piyarat Pothia Arreeratn—didn’t simply
climb the culinary ladder; he buzzed
right to the top. From busboy to food
runner to line cook, Chef Bee held
virtually every position in the kitchen
prior to landing the job of sushi chef
at Nobu, and later at Siam River under
the tutelage of Kevin Cory (now the
force behind Naoe).
From that industrious foundation—
and his experience growing up on his
family’s rice and soy farm—Chef Bee
built Oishi Thai, North Miami Beach’s
go-to spot for pad thai and sashimi.
Eleven years later, having attracted
a cult following of diners who have
become more like family, Chef Bee is
expanding his restaurant empire with
NaiYaRa in Sunset Harbour. At Nai-
YaRa, both the dishes and the décor
instantly transport you to the small
Thai town of Ban Sankhohiang (where
the chef’s family farm still thrives), on
a tributary of the Mekong River, near
Laos, Myanmar, and China.
What does NaiYaRa mean? “Naiyara”
is a female elephant; it refects honesty,
hard work, and a long life.
Describe how this restaurant and
concept take everything you’ve
done to a new level. NaiYaRa is where
Thai street food with premium ingredi-
ents meets genuine and exotic mixes of
various regions of Thailand, China, and
Japan in a fun and slightly kitschy retro-
contemporary environment.
The décor is certainly different than
that of most South Beach restaurants.
The décor pays tribute to Thai heritage.
We have a picture of Thailand’s frst
Miss Universe, who was crowned at the
Miami Beach Auditorium in 1965. The
bar is made from Indonesian teak wood
and has an impressive sake menu and
great cocktails.
Why did you choose Miami as a
home? There were so many different
cultures where I grew up, and Miami
also has so many different people and
cultures from around the world. When
I frst arrived in Miami, it reminded me
“i hope more Miami-born-and-raised chefs help grow this city and keep it authentic.”–chef bee
of home, but instead of mountains, I
am surrounded by the ocean. I always
wanted to live by the ocean. I hope more
Miami-born-and-raised chefs help grow
this city and keep it authentic.
You’ve already built such a strong
following. What’s the motto you
live by? I never blame anyone for my
failures. If I fail, I have to look to myself.
Your following will be happy to see
the crispy bok choy on the menu
at NaiYaRa. They had been eating it
at Oishi Thai for practically a decade.
I just fnally decided to put it on the
menu at NaiYaRa. It used to be on the
menu at Oishi, but we took it off, and
now it’s sort of something for those
in the know. Makes regulars feel like
they’re in on something.
And what is it they’re in on? My ob-
session with crispy bok choy. It was one
of the many forms of produce I grew on
the farm and one of the dishes that my
mother cooked for me growing up.

As Alzheimer’s disease reaches epidemic proportions and millions
of Americans observe National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness
Month and National Caregiver Month, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan
strives to raise awareness—and much-needed funds—in honor
of her mother, the late Hollywood legend Rita Hayworth.

OCEANDRIVE.COM 223
Elegantly clad in a body-skimming black and white gown, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan is the picture of grace as she mingles with the black-tie crowd in the grand ballroom of Chicago’s Hilton Towers Hotel, which is festooned in royal purple on this Saturday night in May. With blonde hair cascading down her shoulders and sparkling Cartier diamond chandelier earrings capturing the light around her face, Aga Khan may be dressed for a celebration, but to anyone familiar with her passionate, decades-long fi ght against Alzheimer’s disease, she clearly means business.
This is the Alzheimer’s Association Rita Hayworth Gala, a grand event held in New York and Chicago inspired by one of the Golden Age of Holly-wood’s glamour queens, Aga Khan’s mother. Diagnosed in 1981, Hayworth, the embodi-ment of Hollywood sex appeal in the ’40s and ’50s, was one of the fi rst public faces of Alzheimer’s—the most common form of dementia. The condition, thought to be caused by the buildup of abnormal proteins (called “plaques and tangles”) in the brain, often results in the gradual loss of memory and severe cognitive impairment. Hayworth’s health had already seriously degenerated by the time of her diagnosis at age 62.
“It started with problems remembering her lines when fi lming,” notes Aga Khan, “and quickly developed into behavioral changes as well. I was actually relieved when she re-ceived the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s because it explained why she was acting so differently than the mother I knew my whole life.” As Hayworth’s condition worsened, it was Aga Khan who came to her side. “Our roles reversed,” she muses. “I became the mother and her guardian, and I had to do whatever I could do.”
Back then in the early 1980s, there wasn’t much she could do. Alzheimer’s was not yet a part of the public consciousness, and even the Alzheimer’s Association was just “a mom and pop organization,” as founder Jerry Stone described it to her at that time. But bolstered by the support the organization offered—and nudged by family friend Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who said, “OK, Yazzy, what are you going to do about this? You’ve got to do something to fi nd a way to raise money and awareness”—Aga Khan established the Rita Hayworth Gala in New York in 1984. And again, four years later, the Gala was held in Chicago to
benefi t the Association’s efforts of care, support, and research for people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. In the three decades to fol-low, the Gala has raised more than $66 million.
Aga Khan’s journey—the exhausting challenge of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease—is one to which millions of Americans can relate. Alzheimer’s has reached epidemic propor-tions in this nation, and the numbers laid out in the 2015 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report are startling: 5.3 million Americans are living with the disease, two-thirds of them are women, and that total is projected to rise to 16 million by 2050.
Alzheimer’s is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, and the only one in the top 10 that cannot be prevented, cured, or slowed. Just as alarming is the fi nancial toll: In 2015, dementia-related diseases will cost the United States $226 billion. “This is now the most expensive disease in America, over cancer and heart disease,” explains Dr. Dean Hartley, Director of Science Initiatives, Medical and Scientifi c Relations for the Alzheimer’s Asso-ciation, “because of the number of years people live—somewhere between fi ve and eight years, and it gets more expensive as they progress.” Indeed, it’s estimated that by 2050 that number could rise to $1.1 trillion.
GIVING TIL IT HURTS
The real wake-up call, though, is what Hartley refers to as the “hidden cost” of the disease: The cost of caregiving. He says families caring
directly for someone with Alzheimer’s are providing some 17 bil-lion hours of additional support—or the equivalent of $214 billion of unpaid caregiving. “So not only is there an emotional impact for families caring for loved ones,” Hartley explains, “but there’s a huge economic burden that’s only growing, to the point where it’s going to impact our healthcare system.” The emotional impact of caregiving that Hartley mentions can’t be underestimated, says Larry Ruvo, who established the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas—a stunningly curvy stainless steel structure designed by Frank Gehry—after being dismayed by the “terrible, almost nonexistent care my father received when he had the disease, and the even worse care my mother received as a caregiver.” He notes that caregivers are frequently “sleep-deprived, malnourished, stressed, all-too-often forgotten… and often die

before the patient.” Then there’s the isolation and
loneliness, says Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice, the
groundbreaking 2007 Alzheimer’s-themed novel.
“There is still so much shame and stigma attached to
the disease,” says Genova, “and families affected by
AD are often excluded from community, left to care
for loved ones alone.”
Caregiving for a family member can be particu-
larly painful, in that the caregiver is often the closest
witness as the loved one gradually fades away. A
profound sense of loss is a natural response, says
Dr. Sam Fazio, the Director of Special Projects in
Medical and Scientifc Relations for the Alzheimer’s
Association and the author of multiple books on
Alzheimer’s care. “You have a long-standing rela-
tionship with the person you’re caring for now, and
you remember how they used to be.” That doesn’t
mean there can’t still be moments of connection
and joy in that relationship, insists Fazio, whose
work is centered around the persistence of self in
Alzheimer’s patients. “The biggest thing is living in
the moment and going with the fow,” he explains.
“So the joy might come in smaller connections, and
fnding a way to connect on a different level. It may
be different from what the person was before, but
it is what it is now. That person has a disease and
can’t adapt to come into your reality anymore, so
you have to adapt and go into their reality. That’s
the only way it’ll work. And that’s hard to do.”
As sobering as the state of the disease is, one nug-
get of hope is that, after decades of being dismissed
as “a disease just for old people,” according to Aga
Khan, Alzheimer’s awareness is now very much
in the mainstream, and the cause is being champi-
oned far and wide. From Julianne Moore’s 2015 Best
Actress Oscar for the flm adaptation of Still Alice
to I’ll Be Me, director James Keach’s much-lauded
recent documentary about country music icon
Glen Campbell’s struggle with the disease, more
and more attention is being drawn to Alzheimer’s
in popular culture, in large part because so many
more people can identify with its consequences.
Explaining the success of I’ll Be Me, which, in June,
set a CNN Films record for viewership, Keach says,
“People saw that it was a tough subject, but it wasn’t
going to push people away or create more shame in
the game—it was going to create an opportunity for
people to relate to what they experience in their own
lives or what friends have experienced, [those] care-
giving and also suffering with the disease.”
In addition to those flms, events such as the
Rita Hayworth Gala continue to raise awareness;
celebrities like Seth Rogen and Wayne Brady
have stepped up to publicly commit to the fght
against the disease; and not one but two months
are now dedicated to recognizing the cause: June
was Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month (which
introduced the Twitter hashtag #EndAlzheimers
that has been trending ever since), and November
is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month
and National Caregiver Month.
MAKING PROGRESS
All too often the news about Alzheimer’s has been
bleak, but recent research breakthroughs have
resulted in, for the frst time, an attitude of cautious

Sterling Support
Lagos combines beauty and support for brain health with its new Keep Memory Alive jewelry collection. By Matt Stewart
Jewelry designer Steven Lagos is
supporting the cause of brain health
through his eight-piece sterling
silver jewelry collection Keep
Memory Alive. All proceeds go to
the nonproft Keep Memory Alive as
it works with the Cleveland Clinic
Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health to
provide care for people coping with
Alzheimer’s and other neurological
diseases. The collection incorporates
Lagos’s distinctive caviar motif while
referencing Frank Gehry’s design for
the Lou Ruvo Center in Las Vegas.
Why is brain health important to you?
Steven Lagos: My grandfather and grand-
mother suffered from Alzheimer’s. One
of the lessons I learned is that Alzheimer’s
affects the family as much as the patient.
How did the Keep Memory Alive
jewelry collection come about?
SL: The spectacular exterior of the Ruvo
Center formed the basis for our designs,
but what’s going on inside that building
is even more amazing. The treatments
and breakthrough clinical trials they’re
conducting are changing lives. The fact
that receiving care there is not based on
ability to pay makes this project even more
incredible. I wanted to celebrate that spirit.
Why did you decide to donate all
proceeds to Keep Memory Alive?
SL: It was a way for Lagos to bring attention
to the cause of brain health. We could have
just written a check, but being involved
allows us to bring our talents to this fght
and to inspire ourselves in the bargain.

optimism among Alzheimer’s researchers.
News from the science front has admittedly
been dreary as far as Alzheimer’s is concerned,
with no effective treatments on the market and
just a few FDA-approved drugs available that
have had some success in boosting a patient’s
memory. “But that doesn’t mean there’s noth-
ing on the horizon,” says Hartley, who cites one
recent breakthrough that enables researchers
to image the living brain and see problem-
causing plaques and tangles that start to
develop long before Alzheimer’s is present, as
opposed to having to wait for an autopsy. That
knowledge can hopefully lead to the ability to
recognize who is at the most risk and, ideally,
stop the progression of the disease before a per-
son demonstrates symptoms—perhaps with a
drug that may already be in trials. “What we’re
thinking,” explains Hartley, “is that maybe
[some of] those drugs that have failed in clini-
cal trials weren’t inappropriate, they were just
being used at the wrong time.”
At the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center
for Brain Health, director and world-renowned
Alzheimer’s researcher Dr. Jeffrey Cummings
speaks optimistically about another poten-
tial breakthrough that may be at hand involving
the use of new immunotherapies for patients with
Alzheimer’s. “Immunotherapies involve giving
patients antibodies, which then attack the abnor-
mal proteins that are accumulating in the brain,”
he explains. “There are two of these treatments that
are particularly promising—one from Lilly, one
above: New brain-imaging technology makes it possible to see the plaques and tangles
associated with Alzheimer’s disease before memory problems or other symptoms develop.

Matters
South Floridians dealing with Alzheimer’s disease can stay empowered with a wealth of Sunshine State resources. By Meg Mathis
“Y ou see a lot of extremes
here,” observes Gloria
Orlandi-Kass, Miami
program services coordinator for the
Alzheimer’s Association’s Southeast
Florida Chapter, which covers seven
counties, namely Monroe, Miami-
Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin,
St. Lucie, and Okeechobee. While
Florida is home to a large population
of senior citizens, Orlandi-Kass says,
the economic disparity within South
Florida in particular plays a huge role
in the level of care. “The wealthy, who
are able to pay privately, have their care
at home or maybe in a nursing home,”
she says. Meanwhile, “a lot of poor
[people] are on waiting lists to have
services that will cover adult daycare
services at home, or in an assisted living
facility.” Of the 500,000 Floridians
living with Alzheimer’s disease, there
are more than 150,000 cases in the
Southeast Florida Chapter—though
it’s likely that those fgures are actu-
ally higher, says Orlandi-Kass, citing
recent immigrants from South America,
Central America, and a variety of other
locales, who might be undiagnosed.
In addition to those living with
Alzheimer’s, caregivers are also strug-
gling. “They don’t have the fnancial
weight to be able to provide for ser-
vices,” Orlandi-Kass notes, “so many
of them work.” Still, it’s a Catch-22 for
people who have to quit their job to
provide care to their spouse or parent.
“Many are what are called the ‘sand-
wich generation,’” says Orlandi-Kass.
“They are caregivers to their parents,
but they’re also raising kids or helping

the lack of funding,” says Hartley, noting that can-cer and heart disease receive between $4 billion and $6 billion per year in research money, while Alzheimer’s is at just $600 million. In December 2014, Congress took a step toward rectifying that imbalance with the passage of the Alzheimer’s Accountability Act, which gives the National Institutes of Health the opportunity to tell Congress each year how much it needs in funding. “So we’re fi nding these mechanisms to boost the dollars that we need to accelerate [treatments],” says Hartley, a note of hope in his voice. “That’s how we’ll make that progress.”
Back in Chicago, at the Rita Hayworth Gala, as Princess Yasmin Aga Khan leans in to be heard over the strains of the jazz band, she, too, speaks with cautious optimism, tempered by the awareness that the fi ght is far from over. “We’re getting close, and I think there’s hope,” she says. “I’m proud that the Alzheimer’s Association is what it is today, and that it has spread the word nationally and internation-ally. And I’m proud of all the dollars that everyone has raised. But we’re not there yet.” OD
from Biogen.” His dream-world scenario? “The most optimistic forecast would be for the Lilly com-pound, which should be fi nished next year and therefore could be available in the market in about three years, if everything went perfectly.”
As patients and their families wait for the dis-covery of effective treatments, the Alzheimer’s Association is focusing its efforts on disease pre-vention and brain health with its “10 Ways to Love Your Brain” program, which was unveiled on June 1 in recognition of Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month and encourages general lifestyle improve-ments, such as regular cardiovascular exercise, a healthy diet, adequate sleep, and continuing edu-cation. “We never want to give people a recipe of what they can do [that will mean] you’re not going to get Alzheimer’s, because nobody knows that,” says Fazio, who led the development of the program. “But there’s been good research on exercise and on diet, so this new program is really all about aging well. It looks at four pillars: cognitive activity, physi-cal exercise and health, diet and nutrition, and social engagement. It’s basically a healthy-aging program. We’re talking about aging in general versus just brain health, because it’s really about all we do to age well. Brain health is one piece of it. It’s all stuff we should be doing.”
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE Even the experts know that brain health can do only so much without effective treatments for Alzheimer’s on the market. In 2011, President Obama signed the National Alzheimer’s Project Act, a plan to fi nd effective treatments by 2025—but, ultimately, the program’s success will depend on dollars. “One of our biggest impediments now is

their kids raise grandchildren. We see
more and more of those cases here.”
While the statistics surrounding
Alzheimer’s are sobering, Orlandi-Kass
praises the following resources avail-
able to people in South Florida who
are living with the neurodegenerative
disease, as well as their caregivers:
MedicAlert + Safe
Return program
“People with Alzheimer’s tend to wan-
der,” says Orlandi-Kass. “Maybe just
one time; others are regular wanderers.”
Enrolling in this bracelet identifi cation
program—which provides assistance 24
hours a day, 365 days a year—will help
recognize those who may be at risk of
wandering. alz.org/sefl orida/medic_alert
TrialMatch
“We have over 225 research studies that
are registering with TrialMatch all over
the United States,” says Orlandi-Kass
of the clinical studies-matching service.
She recommends that everyone partici-
pate in trials, not just people living with
Alzheimer’s disease, “because it will be
the only way we one day will be able to
fi nd the cure.” alz.org/sefl orida/trialmatch
Walk to End Alzheimer’s
“We have fi ve walks every year, from
the end of September to the beginning
of November,” says Orlandi-Kass of the
Alzheimer’s Association’s signature
event to raise funds and awareness.

Florida Chapter’s handful of walks

The Nautilus Cabana Club is part of what Jason Pomeranc means when he says, “It’s all about speaking to what beach life is all about.”
Jason Pomeranc’s childhood memories of Miami Beach are filled with
classic beach-town fun—crowds gathering in the lobby for cocktails,
parents playing cards with their friends, and everyone splashing
around in the oceanfront pools. “I must have stayed in every hotel on
the strip as a child,” says Pomeranc, who plans to bring that around-
the-clock, old-fashion entertainment back to the beach with Nautilus,
the 250-room oceanfront property on Collins Avenue rehabilitated by
Pomeranc and his SIXTY Hotels collective.
Pomeranc spent his youth in places like the Deauville, Fontainebleau,
Cadillac, and Saxony hotels, so his goal is to have Nautilus roll off the
tongue like those renowned retreats. “If in a couple of years people just
automatically assume Nautilus has always been there, and is inherently
part of the fabric of the local culture, then I will have succeeded,” he says
of the property, restored to its original name (most recently it was known
as Continental South Beach) and 1950’s Morris Lapidus–designed glory.
Situated between the Shelborne and the Shore Club, Nautilus wel-
comes guests with a 25-foot-ceiling entrance and uses the restored

top-notch coffee selection during the day. “Historically,
the lobby bar had been the social meeting place, but
over time specialty bars and clubs became the epicen-
ter,” says Pomeranc. “I think there’s a strong movement
back. The true lobby bar is where the social hub is.”
But Nautilus’s main attractions are the indoor-out-
door wine-and-dine experience at the Driftwood
Room, the restaurant from celebrity chef Alex
Guarnaschelli, and the Nautilus Cabana Club, with its
saltwater swimming pool and pool bar. “I look at our
programming, aesthetic, and implementation as more
of what a glamorous international beach resort would
be and then layer in Miami components,” says
Pomeranc, who envisions the jet-setters who frequent
Mykonos and Saint-Tropez making Miami their US
stop. “It’s all about speaking to what beach life is all
about, and if we can incorporate fundamental Miami
ingredients, cuisine, style and music into that, I think
we will create something unique to that strip.”
While the paradise-hopping party crowd will make
up some of the clientele, Pomeranc wants Nautilus to
also be a hot spot for locals, which is why he’s opening
the doors for in-the-know residents. He’s hesitant to use
the word “membership” for fear of sounding exclusion-
ary, but the VIP-card concept will allow for year-round
programming to make Nautilus a home base for sun-
and-fun locals. “Membership is about choice,” he says.
“It’s not about kicking people out; it’s about wanting
them to become part of the movement. It’s for friends
of mine, friends of the hotel, friends of friends.” Just
like the old days. 1825 collins ave., miami Beach, 305-

Whether it’s vieWed as the last frontier or the neW frontier, just
West of MiaMi is experiencing groWth at an exponential rate. by robyn a. friedman
Elysee. Spark. The Vine. Hardly a month goes by without the announcement of another new condominium
project in the greater Miami area. But as coastal terrain becomes more scarce, developers are setting their sights on the western communities—Weston, Sunrise, Doral—where vacant land is more plentiful than parcels closer to the Atlantic.
“We’ve had to go further and further west to find new undeveloped land to create new communities,” says David Cobb, South Florida regional director of Metrostudy, a residential and commercial real estate market research firm. “But that’s drawing to a close in Broward County—there’s actually only two significant parcels of land left in northwest Broward where there’s a contiguous piece of property over 100 acres.”
That property, Cobb says, is in Parkland.One significant project under development out west is Metropica, a 65-acre
mixed-use development near Sawgrass Mills mall. When complete, the project will include 2,250 high-rise residential units, shopping, restaurants, a wellness center, an entertainment district, a tennis club, and a park—not to mention 650,000 square feet of office space and two hotels.
The first residential building to rise will be YOO, a 263-unit, 28-story condomin-ium by The Trillist Companies. YOO features designer kitchens and baths, spacious terraces, open floor plans, and smart-home technology. Residences start in the $300,000s, ranging from 740 to 1,379 square feet. Delivery is expected in the first quarter of 2017. “Broward has always been a good county to develop in, and its statistics and fundamentals are strong,” says Joseph Kavana, chairman and

OF LUXURY
CityPlace Doral’s Arquitectonica-designed retail hub will include an upscale grocer, movie theater, and bowling alley.
CEO of K Group Holdings in Aventura, the developer of Metropica.
Another new housing project in Broward County is Botaniko Weston, which consists of 125 one- and two-story homes that will rise on a portion of the former Bonaventure Country Club golf course. Designed by architects Chad Oppenheim and Roney J. Mateu, with interiors by V Starr, the design firm of tennis legend Venus Williams, the homes will range from 4,200 to 7,200 square feet. Prices start at $1.7 million, with delivery planned for the first quarter of 2016. “We look at the scarcity of land as an opportunity to be creative,” says David Martin, president of Terra, the developer of Botaniko Weston. “Sometimes developers feel like they have to pack in more density, but quality of life can be sacrificed with that strategy.”
Development has also spread to boomtown Doral, in western Miami-Dade County, recently named by the US Census Bureau as the third-fastest growing city in the nation with 50,000-plus residents. One project under development in this flourishing com-munity is the $1 billion Downtown Doral, by Codina Partners, which will include 200,000 square feet of shopping and dining (with Bulla Gastrobar and Passion del Cielo planning outposts here), more than 1 million square feet of commercial space, 2,840 resi-dential units, a charter school, and public green spaces complete with sculptures.
Another shining star on the horizon is CityPlace Doral, a retail and residential development by The Related Group and Shoma Homes, which will feature 600,000 square feet of retail space and over 1,000 new luxury residences. Designed by
A rendering of Metropica’s 65-acre mixed use property.
Arquitectonica, the retail component of CityPlace will include an upscale grocer, a CinéBistro-Cobb Theatre, and a Kings bowling alley. Future residents can choose from a variety of homesteads: Oasis Park Square, with 150 luxury single-family homes; Manor at CityPlace Doral, a 394-unit apartment project; The Flats, offering upscale midrise rentals; and The Courtyards with spacious condominiums.
But no story about the evolution of Doral would be complete without a mention of Trump National Doral Miami, the legendary golf resort that opened in the 1960s as Doral Golf Resort and Spa. Donald Trump, president and chairman of The Trump Organization, reimagined the property alongside his children Ivanka and Eric, who spearheaded the transformation of the 800-acre property, completed in March 2015. The resort now boasts 643 guest rooms, a reincarnation of Laurent Tourondel’s famed New York steakhouse BLT Prime, the Spa at Doral, and, is of course, home to the famed Blue Monster golf course.
“Mr. Trump’s personal ties with Doral go back to his childhood, when he used to spend a lot of time vacationing here with his family,” says David Feder, vice president and managing director of Trump National Doral Miami. “In fact, he developed an interest and deep understanding for the game of golf here at Doral. A few years ago, when Mr. Trump had the opportunity to purchase the resort, it quickly became a passion project for him and his children. In 2012, the Trump family embarked on a multi-year, $250-million renovation, which they call a labor of love, to restore the resort to its origi-nal grandeur.” OD

“If everythIng In
your home has a
home, It’ll just
flow smoothly.”—michael bruno
When entrepreneur Michael
Bruno was trying to come up
with a plan for a new home-
design business, he discovered
his next big idea right in his
own Tuxedo Park, New York,
backyard. “I started looking at
all the moving parts of
managing a house,” says
Bruno, who created his new
app, Housepad, to help
maintain his 14,000-square-foot
residence and its surrounding
100-acre property. “When you
see something that you want
done, the best thing you can
do is catalog it at that moment.
I can walk through my house
at any given time and find a
handful of things that bother
me. With this app, I can
catalog some for my contrac-
tor, some for my painter, some
for my housekeeper, some for
my gardener.”
Housepad allows
to-do lists or instructions with
itemized icons, such as fixing a
cabinet door that’s constantly
ajar. “If everything in your
home has a home, and it’s
always where it belongs, it’ll
just flow smoothly,” says Bruno.
At the onset, Bruno tested
Housepad at his second home
in the Hamptons. He installed
the program on his housekeep-
er’s smartphone, then he found
approximately 30 things that
bothered him, from the way
the home’s towels were folded
to fixing a drape on a curtain
rod, and loaded them into the
app. He missed seeing the
housekeeper during her
regular visit, however, so Bruno
never gave her instructions on
its usage. But three days later,
his phone started ringing off the
hook with “done” notifications
from Housepad’s checklist
function. “When we went to
the house that weekend, the
house was exactly as I wanted
it,” says Bruno. “I realized it
wasn’t that she was a bad
housekeeper, I was a bad
client. I never took the time to
tell her in a clear way what I
wanted. Now, everything I
need, she does it perfectly.”
In the coming months,
Housepad is rolling out a
trade-only program for
interior designers, which will
allow them to catalog all the
specifics of a project for a
client, including a searchable
catalog of the furniture,
invoices, warranties, care
instructions, and paint colors.
Says Bruno, “I’ve found
people want to know what
they have, and the more
education they have, the more
they engage with beautiful
things, and the more they want
better things.”
Also on the horizon is an
editorial component that will
give Housepad users an
opportunity to see “behind-the-
scenes” elements of designers’
own personal spaces, such as
how they organize their linen
closets, or how they make a
bed. “Interior designers have
always been an inspiration for
me in all the work I do,” says
Bruno, who over his career has
bought and sold real estate and
launched 1stdibs, the global
online marketplace for
antiques and design. “We’re
creating short videos from
which you can learn from
different designers those little
moments that actually are great
crib notes for anyone trying to
bring their home to the next
level.” housepadapp.com OD
“Some days I wonder if I really need Housepad
[anymore], because it has worked so well that I walk
around the house and everything is perfect,”
Michael Bruno says of his app, which helps owners
manage their homes.

eminent domain Style Statement
Nestled between the Design District’s über-luxury shops and gallery-laden Wynwood, potentially edgy yet diversely voguish Midtown is becoming Miami’s nattiest urban address. “It’s the coolest location—the Meatpacking District of Miami,” says Carlos Rosso, president of The Related Group’s Condominium Development Division. “Midtown is the closest thing to a pedestrian neighborhood we have in Miami.”
Restaurants, bars, and Target are a quick stroll from Hermès, Cartier, and Valentino. “What the Shops did for Bal Harbour, the Design District will do for Midtown,” says Gil Dezer, president of Dezer Development, the developers behind such prestigious South Florida addresses as Trump Towers and the future Porsche Design Tower Miami.
Rising in the midst of this burgeoning residential and shopping neighborhood is Hyde Midtown Suites and Residences, a hip collection of 60 hotel rooms and 410 condo-minium residences at NE First Avenue and NE 34th Street. Dezer, The Related Group, and hotelier SBE are collaborating on the 32-story luxury tower, designed with soft rounded corners and an Art Deco aura by the architectural firm Arquitectonica.
Like an amenity-filled cruise ship, Hyde Midtown offers boutiques, restaurants, and live entertainment at the ground-level
Hyde Piano Bar Lounge. The seventh-floor pool deck has a bar and grill, private cabanas, and tennis and bocce courts. The pet-friendly building also boasts a media room, kids room, a Ciel Spa, and a fitness center with Technogym cardio and weight-training equipment and a yoga studio. A tech-savvy app provides on-demand access to concierge services such as housekeeping, in-room dining, laundry, babysitting, and shoeshines. Residents can use the Hyde Beach club at the SLS Hotel South Beach.
David Rockwell’s interiors incorporate an “industrial chic” look with wood-like porcelain tile floors, open kitchens with European cabinetry, quartz countertops, and GE appliances. White porcelain tile baths have vessel sinks and frameless glass showers. Ceiling-to-floor glass doors slide open from living areas and bedrooms onto spacious terraces with glass and aluminum railings.
Prices range from $380,000 for an 831-square-foot one-bedroom to $2.4 million for a 2,600-square-foot penthouse.
Sixty percent of units are sold, mainly to Latin American investors. Many of the “higher than usual” 30 percent of American buyers rent nearby and “want to have a starter place in Midtown,” Rosso says. “People that live there love the area.”

“ The Pritikin Longevity Center + Spa, has long
been considered the gold standard in health
and wellness support.”
– Oprah.com
CHECK IN TO LOSE WEIGHT.
CHECK OUT WITH A WHOLE NEW YOU.
The program is based on four fundamental
principles: diet, exercise, medical supervision and
lifestyle education.
Pritikin is not just a health institute. It is an idyllic retreat
surrounded by 650 acres of lush tropical gardens,
swimming pools, tennis courts and fi ve championship
golf courses.
Since 1975, the Pritikin Longevity Center + Spa has
been a leading destination for health and weight
loss for those in the know.
Benefi ts include:
• Average weight loss of 11 pounds in 3 weeks
• 74% control type-2 diabetes without oral medications
• 60% return to healthy blood pressure free of medications
• 50% reverse metabolic syndrome
“ Pr i t ik in is where the A- l i s t goes,”
– Business Week
“ Pritikin is arguably the most effective
diet, exercise and l i festy le-change
program in the world.”
– The London Times
Dezer himself bought two apartments. “It’s the best place
in Miami to be that is not on the beach,” he says.
Hyde’s ever-expanding brand is also making its mark 17
miles to the north in Hallandale with Related Group and SBE’s
hospitality concept Hyde Beach Kitchen + Cocktails. When you
see the colorful and kitsch “beach ball” soaring over A1A,
you’ll know you’ve arrived. A long, winding driveway takes you
past Hallandale Beach’s iconic water tower to its newest
addition on the edge of the sand. At night, the massive building
is cloaked in darkness to protect the endangered sea turtles;
this makes the view of the ocean even more spectacular.
The Pininfarina-designed multilevel and multipurpose
beach club boasts an up-close-and-personal setting in which
guests feel like they’re literally on the water. The SBE and
Related Group collaboration pairs this spectacular optical
illusion with culinary offerings envisioned by chef Danny
Elmaleh (Cleo) and a bounty of creative cocktails such as the
After Sunset Margarita (a seductively smooth variation of the
margarita with an unexpected and buzzy ingredient, aloe
vera) or A Perez Spritz, an apéritif made from Aperol, Passoã
passion fruit liqueur, passion fruit purée, prosecco, soda
water, and an orange slice, aptly named after Related’s Jorge
Pérez, who dines here.
The first-f loor spa and a forthcoming members-only club
on the roof complete the offerings at this seaside-chic venue.
It’s all just a taste before the launch of Hyde Beach House
Hollywood, a tower that will rise 40 stories above the
Intracoastal Waterway and includes membership for owners to
Hyde Beach Kitchen + Cocktails. Over 77 condo and 265 resort
units will be nestled above one of the most exclusive beach
clubs north of South Beach. Hyde Beach House Hollywood is
betting on a cool urban vibe with an array of beach-inspired
amenities, so much so the companies are fast-tracking construc-
tion with an estimated completion in 2018. OD ph

include a 25,000-square-foot home in Grand Cayman, a nursing facility in Delray
Beach, a residence on Hibiscus Island, and an upcoming book for Hay House, Creating
Sacred Spaces for Inspired Living. “One of the main things that has changed is the
invention of materials like Sunbrella.”
Pila often uses Sunbrella, an acrylic fabric that has “fade” resistance, color reten-
tion, water repellency, and the look and feel of indoor fabrics, for clients with pets and
small children. A successful interior designer for 30 years, Pila has won several of the
highest honors in her industry, including a Design Excellence Award from the
American Society of Interior Designers, the prestigious international Andrew Martin
award, and the Pinnacle award for furniture design. She has a furniture collection for

Come Fly with MeNewsliNk’s raymond kayal jr. aNd Christopher korge are the leaders behiNd the beautiful NewsstaNds, britto stores, aNd retail spaces You’re seeiNg at miami’s airports. by beCky randel
Miami-based NewsLink is something of a “David” in the world of airport-indus-try “Goliaths.” CEOs Raymond Kayal Jr. and Christopher Korge took a 50-year old family business—that of airport concessions—and have grown it into a cut-ting-edge, $50-million-a-year company with 30 stores across four airports and an additional seven coming online in 2017. In 2011, they beat out billion-dollar conglomerates also competing for the space and launched The Shoppes at Ocean Drive, the award-winning mini department store at Miami International Airport that features numerous local vendors. The partners chatted with Ocean
Drive about how their industry has evolved over the past 50 years.
How did you decide to take over the company together? Raymond Kayal Jr.: In 2004, our contracts at the airports were all expiring. My dad decided he was going to retire, and I was really at a crossroads with whether to go back to law or try to stay in the business. So I went to Chris.Christopher Korge: What really made us a great combination is that we came from two different direc-tions—Ray started working with his father to learn how the business operated…and I was in the airports and had the finance experience, which is a big part of our business. How have things most changed since those early days?RK: The first store my grandfather started with in 1959 was a camera and cutlery shop. We sold knives and machetes at the airport. Obviously, the world has changed. What is the Miami customer like?RK: At The Shoppes, one of the concepts is Solstice Sunglasses. Solstice has a number of brands that are higher-end—that is very appealing to the South American/Latin American customer base. CK: Another example: Our Florida stone crabs do remarkably well. They’re fresh, they’re brought in every day, and it’s unique because the supply is both local and [limited].What kind of trends have you seen in recent years? RK: Books have actually seen a surge in business. Customers are telling us that there’s nothing that takes the place of having a book in your hand. How were you able to survive during the economic downturn? CK: The new terminal was coming online, and our new stores were coming online right as the economy tanked. It was lucky in that we were able to build the new stores and have them positioned post-security instead of pre-security. You were recently awarded space at Tampa International Airport. What’s next for NewsLink?RK: Our core goal is to maximize and do the absolute best we can with the business that we have. And we know—and the history has shown it—that when we do that, growth naturally and organically occurs. OD
UP, UP, AND AWAY
• NewsLink stores sell more than 6 million individual M&M’s a year!
• The company sold more than 825,000 magazines in 2014.
• On average, the company services more than 90,000 passengers in its stores every day.
• The entire NewsLink team worked a com-bined total of more than 850,000 hours last year.
• NewsLink used more than 1.7 million shopping bags in 2014.
“My first job as a teenager was in Ray’s family’s warehouse,” says Christopher Korge (far left), here with Raymond Kayal Jr. at NewsLink’s The Shoppes at Ocean Drive at Miami International Airport.

Keyed InJust a short drive from miami, the Keys—stretching from Key Largo to Key West—offer a different Way to experience paradise. by julia ford-carther
While Miamians live where everyone else vacations, residents like to sneak away
occasionally for a change of scenery. When feeling the itch to get out of Dodge
without dealing with TSA lines, head to The Florida Keys—a mere one to four hours
away, depending how far down the A1A you’re willing to venture. Visitors in the
know are also keen on this diverting locale, often extending work trips a few days
to dip their toes in the white sand and unplug. Take a look at a few of the top Florida
Keys destinations that are worth the drive.
TIME-TESTED: ThE MoorIngS VIllagE & Spa, ISlaMoraDa
Three decades ago, windsurfing champion Hubert Baudoin traveled to The Keys
for a competition and stayed. In his 20s at the time, Baudoin purchased The
Moorings in 1988 and has since expanded it into the internationally celebrated,
18-acre luxury property it is today. The site of big-name fashion shoots (Chanel, for
example) with some of the world’s leading supermodels, The Moorings is just as
renowned for its postcard-worthy white-sand beaches (as seen on the hit Netf lix
show Bloodline) and cottages that transport you to a state of mind worlds away from
This cottage at The Moorings says “vacation hideaway.” below: Surfboards and Adirondack chairs beckon outside The Beach Café at Morada Bay.

“If you were to stand in the exact same spot and snap this
photo again in 2020, who knows what the landscape
might look like,” writes photographer Charlie Garcia
of this view of Sunny Isles Beach from the Newport Pier.
“Miami born and raised—with temporary stints
in New York, LA, and Tokyo—I’ve basically
lived here my entire life. Home, and its inescap-
able beauty that we locals often take for granted,
always lures me back. Take, for example, the
indigo hue of the sky right before dusk. I shot this
image of the Sunny Isles Beach skyline standing
atop the Beach Bar at Newport Pier (one of my
local hidden gems). It’s here where our calm
waters meet our clear skies during what can only
be described as blue hour. In this moment of still-
ness, it’s not only amazing to witness how the city
has bounced back from hard times just a couple
of years ago, but it’s a living testament to how
great Miami is and what makes it, well, Miami.
As for transformation, I’ve witnessed the city’s
exponential growth for decades, and if you look
closely at the cranes going up in this picture, I’d
say it’s not stopping anytime soon. Most of the
buildings dotting this skyline weren’t here several
years ago, and if you were to stand in the exact
same spot and snap this photo again in 2020, who
knows what the landscape might look like.
Even so, as the skyline stretches and evolves
from Sunny Isles to Downtown and Brickell, one
thing has remained the same since I was born:
There’s still plenty of blue water everywhere you
look.” charliegarciaphoto.com OD
