LETTER FROM THE EDITORIN-CHIEF
WIDE BRIM HAT BY CHRISTINE A. MOORE MILLINERY CAMHATS.COM
S
ummer is in full swing and this issue is bursting with delicious summertime experiences. Escape into our luxurious travel pages, where we’ve featured some of my favorite places in the world. From the eclectic Caribbean chill of St. Barth’s to the beaches of Tahiti; from the elegant hidden shops of Milan to the Côte d’Azur (my home of 9 years), every journey we take you on is infused with summer luxury. Even our Fashion features have a thrilling exotic element- a Modern Marrakech set against the vibrant backdrop of the Hotel Californian in Santa Barbara. On our cover this issue, I am thrilled to honor the incomparable Laura Linney. Seemingly a throwback from a bygone era, Laura embodies true dedication to her craft – someone who radiates a palpable love for what she does. Talking to her, we were over whelmed by her passion and authenticity – she reminded us of a Hollywood that was less mired in the politics or the negativity of shameless competition, and more invested in paying homage to the art of storytelling. Laura’s devotion and commitment to her work also infuses her philanthropy – and we loved being able to draw attention to the work she does with children. This is one of my favorite covers and I hope you are as enamored with our extremely in-depth Q&A as I am. As usual, we have a major focus on charitable endeavors and philanthropy this issue – it’s always paramount to us that we highlight important causes. This edition, we’ve featured one of our favorite events, Power of Love. Our Beverly Hills Lifestyle team has been personally affected by the tragic ramifications of Alzheimer’s, and we are so glad to be able to document the inspiring work happening at Keep Memory Alive and the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. Summer is the time to hold on to your loved ones and savor every moment. Growing up in London, it was rare that we had the opportunity to sit and eat outside – living in LA now, I appreciate every meal that can be indulged in al fresco – and, when they’re spent with friends and family, it makes it that much better. In these turbulent times, it’s important to recognize that, wherever you are, the true luxury of summer is being able to enjoy it with the ones you love. So, sit back, make yourself a Strawberry Rosé Margarita (p. 110) and let us immerse you in all things summertime. Love always,

T
he newest endeavor from Jeff D. F. Trotter, the founder and principal designer of Jeff Trotter Design, is a line of custom designed surfboards that are both sculptural pieces of interior art and functional high-performance boards. The perfect synergy of style and sport, these elevated stone and tile inspired prints capture Jeff’s unique vision for contemporary coastal living. “I grew up spending endless summer days on the beaches of Santa Monica and Malibu, so coastal living has always inspired my design aesthetic. My goal was to design sophisticated, real boards, that function as beautiful works of art when they’re not out in the water.” Each board is custom made to order; hand carved, shaped and glassed in Southern California. Starting at $2,100.00 these boards are available in three sizes by custom order: jefftrotterdesign.com

S
t. Barth’s has been a haven for celebrities, socialites & the elite travelers for decades. It provides the ideal combination of sophistication, exclusivity & ambiance, on a picture perfect desert isle, which just happens to be complete with over-the-top amenities & points of interest. It takes a special destination like St. Barth’s to strike the seemingly ideal balance of relaxed Caribbean living with that South of France flair. It has that ebb and flow of being just the right amount of what travelers want. When it comes to proximity, St. Barth’s is accessible, while still being remote enough to stay beyond the grasps of much of the Caribbean tourist traffic. You’re likely either hopping on a tiny connection flight, flying private or disembarking from a yacht to step foot on the Caribbean’s most fashionable island. 52

Welcome to Hotel Californian, where opulence and decadence live again. Newly reopened, Santa Barbara’s Hotel Californian is the new face of the ‘American Riviera.’ The recently revitalized historic hotel features an unexpected mix of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and stylish, Moorish-themed interior designs, created by celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Set against a backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez mountains, with a luxurious Moroccan-inspired spa, bespoke furnishings and unique details, Bullard’s colorful, geometric designs offer a glimpse into the exotic world that is the Hotel Californian.

CORSO COMO by Bryan Lefeber
O
ne of the most delightful discoveries when wandering an Italian city is how the most unassuming entry may open to one of the most magnificent (or, in this case, unique) and inspiring experiences within. A quirky yet modest entry of an industrial building, the home of 10 Corso Como opens to a traditional Milanese palazzo, but with more personality and style than most. From the first glance into the world of 10 Corso Como you are greeted by eclectic, bright and perfectly curated showcases. Conceived by former fashion editor and publisher Carla Sozzani, and defined as “a multifunctional space, a meeting place, union of culture and commerce and marking the beginning of total shopping,� 10 Corso Como is a world where fashion, art, design, hospitality and cuisine collide. With an eclectic design aesthetic featuring design greats such as Verner Panton and Angelo Mangiarotti and meticulously edited collections from major fashion brands such as Alexander McQueen, Rick Owens, Raf Simons, and Yohji Yamamoto, this inspiring concept store is nothing short of a destination of inspirational bliss. 10 Corso Como is a must-see experience for the perfect afternoon of shopping, dining and stimulus in no better city then Milan. You can spend an entire afternoon here and, if you just cannot bring yourself to leave, you can stay the night at the boutique hotel's 3 rooms.
