Rob Hannon | rob.hannon@lifestylepubs.com EDITOR

Hello friends, THIS MONTH, WE CELEBRATE STYLE. While some of your other favorite magazines splash out the season's newest fashion trends and hottest looks, we thought we'd dive deeper, looking at design and style a little differently. We're thrilled to bring you three stunning automobiles, styled to combine design, speed and even glamour. The 1995 McLaren F1, the 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B and the 1937 Delahaye Type 135 MS Special Roadster caught our eye when we looked for style in Naples at the Revs Institute, widely regarded as one of the top automotive museums in the world, dedicated to the study and celebration of the automobile. It exists to foster a new level of understanding of the automobile, not

1938 ALFA ROMEO 8C 2900B No sports car in the 1930s was faster, or arguably more elegant, than the immortal Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B. Built to continue its dominance in Italy’s Mille Miglia open road endurance race, the 2900 chassis and its supercharged engine came from Alfa Romeo’s most recent Grand Prix car. Roughly thirty of the road-going 2900Bs were produced from 1937-1939. This includes the car on display at Revs Institute, which was exhibited at the 1938 Paris Automobile Salon. In 1947, Alfa dealer Emilio Romano and veteran driver Clemente Biondetti won the Mille Miglia with this car. It was the fourth victory for the 2900 and the eleventh and last for Alfa Romeo.

DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK (CONTINUED)

1937 DELAHAYE TYPE 135 MS SPECIAL ROADSTER Parisian automaker Delahaye produced some of the most glamorous cars of the 1930s. One such example, the 1937 Delahaye Type 135 MS Special Roadster wasthe most talked-about automobile at the 1937 Paris Automobile Salon. Coachbuilders Joseph Figoni and Ovidio Falaschi’s design features aluminum coachwork and a Hermès leather interior. They also introduced new ideas for a Delahaye roadster, such as wheel-enveloping fenders, an ultralight tubular seat, and a windshield that recedes into the body. While aerodynamics was the intended purpose of this Delahaye’s design, its sheer sensuality, which sold more cars than science among Europe’s elite, was a prominent motivation for the final product.

Naples Lifestyle | September 2021

1995 MCLAREN F1 The McLaren F1 was the ultimate street car of the twentieth century. Built from 1993 to 1998, it was designed by Gordon Murray who used innovative aerodynamics to maximize the F1’s speed and optimize its handling. The vehicle’s body, styled by Peter Stevens,features a monocoque hull made wholly of carbon fiber and a one-plus-two seating configuration. Designed for experienced connoisseurs, the F1 does not have active suspension, four-wheel drive, power steering, or antilock brakes. But with a top speed of 240 mph and 0-60 capability in 3.4 seconds, the avidly anticipated F1 did not disappoint McLaren’s market or the motoring press.

Walk Harper around the neighborhood, she loves socializing with all her Lake Park pup friends. 8:00 A.M. Shower and style my look for the day. Today I’m purging a closet and styling vacation looks for a client so I keep my look simple with a bodysuit, a pair of joggers, a cute block heel sandal and a LV crossbody bag to pull it all together. 9:00 A.M. I arrive at the home of my first client to do a much-needed purge. The purging process consists of deciding what to keep, what to donate, and what to put on consignment. We end up with three bags of donations, a few nice pieces to consign and a fresh closet space where she can see what she has.

12 P.M. Head to The Shelter Options Shoppe in downtown Naples. I always like to take my clients’ donations there because when you donate you support The Shelter’s programs and services while providing program participants with items needed to rebuild their lives. 1:00 P.M. Arrive at Saks to pick up a new Chanel bag that just came in. Typically they only get in one of a particular style, so I always have to act fast for my clients. 1:30 P.M. Arrive at my last client for the day to review her vacation itinerary and pull pieces from her closet to style looks for her trip. I pair each look with shoes, bags, and accessories and stage and photograph them. I add the photos to a shared album for easy access on her phone. 4:30 P.M. Head back to my home office to label and organize photos and plan ahead for tomorrow. 5:00 P.M. And that’s a wrap on my day! Off to Happy Hour. Cheers!
