Style Issue ITS SEPTEMBER AND WELCOME TO OUR FASHION AND STYLE ISSUE! Fashion and Style are transcending terms. Traditionally, we think of couture clothing and seasonal fashions. However, the style around us plays a part in how we think and see ourselves. Grosse Pointe has a style all its own. Whether clothing, architecture, kitchens and baths, food, or individuals finding their groove, we celebrate the unique vibe that is our town.

DISTRACTS OR CAUSES STRESS. We know just the place…. Canyon Ranch. Since 1979, the Canyon Ranch wellness resorts in Tucson, Arizona and Lenox, Massachusetts have been the answer to rampant stress and busy-ness. Both of the all-inclusive resorts were built entirely around the concept of healthy living and where the health and fitness vacation revolution was conceived. A stay at Canyon Ranch combines a myriad of experiences. You can purely relax or be on a mission to get back in shape. You can take a bike ride, assault the High Ropes Course, get bendy in yoga or fierce in TRX training, learn to cook healthy meals or make lovely art. They have the classic spa treatments one would expect, plus originals you’ve got to try the Euphoria Ritual! The biggest surprise is the health and wellness aspect. This is no mere nod to promoting good health, rather an integrative team of fulltime physicians, nurses, nutritionists, exercise physiologists and behavioral specialists available to analyze and inform. You can have private consultations on weight loss, bone density, sports performance, habit change – you name your interest. All of the experts and technology are in one place, which happens to be at a world-class resort.

ARTICLE PAIGE PEABODY

THE FORD BRONCO IS A MODEL LINE OF SUVS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED AND MARKETED BY FORD FROM 1965 TO 1996. The first sport-utility vehicle ever marketed by Ford was the beginning of the massive SUV trend. The Ford design team actually brought a first generation Bronco into the studio for inspiration. The new 2021 Bronco starts at $30,000 with its top-end models costing more than $60,000. A limited “First Edition” Bronco model starts at just over $60,000 and according to Ford’s website is already sold out.

ARTICLE SUE BALDANI

COVID COMFY 26

Grosse Pointe Lifestyle | September 2020

“ WORK-FROM-HOME IS A CATEGORY OF MERCHANDISE THAT NEVER EXISTED BEFORE AND IS GOING TO PERSIST FOR QUI TE A WHILE .” WITH MANY PEOPLE WORKING FROM HOME DUE TO COVID-19, WEEKDAY DRESS IS TRANSFORMING FROM BUSINESS CASUAL TO, WELL, JUST CASUAL. Leisurewear and athleisure, such as yoga pants and stylish sweats, were already hot commodities for after work and weekends. Now, they are becoming the workday norm. This year, fall fashion is going to look much different than it did in 2019. “Work-from-home is a category of merchandise that never existed before and is going to persist for quite a while,” says David Zoba, Chairman of global retail leasing at JLL, in the article, “How COVID-19 is Changing the Fashion World,” on its website. How we dress is not only about fashion. During times of great uncertainty and fear, people seek comfort, whether in clothing, food, or family. Along with the emotional fallout, there is the loss of everyday social interactions. Working from home can be isolating for those used to the hustle and bustle of an office. There is no longer bantering with coworkers during coffee breaks or stopping to chat at a colleague’s desk. So, if we have to be alone at home, we might as well be comfortable. People are now living, working, and playing at home, and their clothing reflects that. Instead of changing outfits for these different activities, they’re now wearing the same one for all three.

GIVING BACK (CONTINUED)

Lululemon, one of the best-known brands in the athleisure market, is experiencing a tremendous surge in sales after expanding into loungewear. And Betabrand, an online retailer that began its “Dress Pant Yoga Pant” campaign many years ago, has been enjoying steadily increasing sales after hosting a “Work From Home” online runway show early on in the pandemic. An additional issue these days, especially when it comes to high fashion, is money. Unemployment rates are staggering, and even those still working may have taken a pay cut. This has changed the trend from spending to saving. Having the latest Michael Kors handbag or Jimmy Choo shoes may not be a priority, especially when there is nowhere to go and no one to admire them. The contents in those designer handbags have also changed. Those fun extras that women used to carry such as body sprays and hair ties have now been replaced with hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and extra masks. Traditional clothes shopping has also undergone a huge change. Shoppers may be hesitant to go into physical stores, so fashion retailers have shifted

their focus to e-commerce. According to data from analysis firm Commerce Signals, online sales skyrocketed following the March closures of brick-andmortar stores in the U.S. However, online buying is not without its problems. One major disadvantage of purchasing clothing online is the inability try things on; the other is shipping costs. This has led to more consumers “shopping” in their closets. They are rediscovering outfits that may have been pushed to the back of the closet some time ago. Joshua Williams, assistant professor of fashion management at the Parsons School of Design, in the Bustle magazine article, “People May Never Dress The Same Again After Coronavirus, Experts Say,” states, “Most importantly, this pandemic has made us realize that we have a lot of clothes in our closets we are not wearing.

FOOD & WINE

+ Bread or Crackers Breads and crackers help form a base to bring combinations together and act as a filling to complete the sensation of a meal.Â Lightly flavored or salted crackers, breads, or grissini work well.

+ Olives Olives are a high fat healthy fruit which bring flavor, color, and a mythical history.Â They can spur conversation as flavor elements on your board are tasted and enjoyed.

+ Parmigiano Over 8 centuries, Parmigiano Reggiano producers bring consistency and quality following strict production standards. The slightly sharp flavor layered with complex fruit and nut taste characteristics crumble into a unique granular texture.

+ Prosciutto Choose quality. Prosciutto di Parma brings a rich, salty, and tender meat. It pairs perfectly with a less salty cheese or is delicious all on its own.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT AT YOUR NEXT PARTY, TRY THE ART AND STYLE OF THE CHARCUTERIE BOARD. The simple and elegant spread of meats, cheeses, terrine, and pate have been used for thousands of years. In addition to a stylish and trendy look, portions are not overwhelming and allow a party host to enjoy their gathering. Cellar 313 owner Charlie recommends considering 4 main components, “texture, flavor, color, and shape combine to create the board. Meats usually form the core of the dish, but make sure they are all thinly sliced.” Prosciutto, smoked ham, salamis, capicola, sausages, pates, and terrines are all excellent choices. Once meats are selected, focus on at least 3 cheeses. A soft cheese, hard cheese, and a bold or sharp element. “Soft cheeses like brie and camembert are tangy and visually appealing, but your gorgonzola, roquefort, and stilton will bring bold flavor. Hard elements like gouda, cheddar, muenster, and parmesan bring depth and sharpness,” according to Charlie. “Selecting and tasting the meats and cheeses is half the fun.” When adding the extras, think olives, fruits, nuts, and spreads that bring a sweet to sour range to pair with

FALL IS ALWAYS ABOUT DENIM AND SWEATERS AND THIS SEASON IS NO EXCEPTION. Covid’s influence has just now enhanced a more comfortable style. People still want to look good and cute, but now you are dressing up sweatshirts and cozy sweaters instead of suits and dresses. Every day has now become casual Friday. Throwing a blazer on with a t-shirt or showing off the latest lounge-wear, you can still look professional and stylish. Even if you are not going into an office, you can still make casual look cute.
