LAURA DE GUNZBERG IS IN perpetual motion. Not only can the art-world mover and shaker be found gallery hopping in her Aquazzura flats and a wrist full of jingling bracelets, she frequently travels the globe as the director of membership for the Cultivist, a private arts club that affords its members VIP access to museums, fairs and art experiences around the world. At 28, with a résumé that includes Pace Gallery, the Dia Art Foundation (where she is founder and chair of the institution's young patrons program) and the CFDA (where she is co-chair of the Fashion Trust), she's already an industry veteran. De Gunzburg took a pause to tell us about the artists, destinations and sparkling accessories commanding her attention this Fall. 74 BAL HARBOUR PHOTO BY OLIMPIA VALLI FASSI ACQUIRED TASTE As the Director of Membership for the Cultivist, Laura de Gunzburg has an appetite for the finer things in life. Her favorite people, places and things for Fall are nothing short of splendid. BY KAREN QUARLES 1. What's your Fall must-have? Aquazzura's Mondaine Mules in leopard. 2. What beauty product can always be found in your handbag? I use a product line called QMS, which makes the best Hydro Foam Mask. My skin is always dry, and it has helped so much. 3. What jewelry item are you eyeing? Graff's pear shaped diamond earrings. 4. What gallery or museum show are you excited about this season? The Giacometti Foundation just opened in Paris—it is a real gem. 5. What hotel do you love for its art and design? Château la Coste in Provence is the ultimate for art and design. 6. Which emerging artist are you all about right now? I recently saw Sam Moyer's new works with glass at Art Basel. They are amazing! 7. What city are you most looking forward to visiting next? I'm planning to go to Tel Aviv this Fall on a trip we're organizing for members of the Cultivist. I haven't been to Israel since I was a little girl and can't wait to go back. 8. Where do you always make time to go in Paris? I love to walk around the Marais. It is the best energy and a great excuse to stumble into Alaïa! 9. What's your ideal Fall getaway? I try and make the summer last as long as I possibly can—so in an ideal world, I would love to do a long weekend in Porto Ercole at Hotel Il Pellicano. It's always so full in the summer, and I never book it in advance, but in the Fall you can still find good availability until October. 10. Whose Instagram are you currently obsessed with? I love tableware, so naturally I really like @talmaris.paris. 11. What's your favorite French novel? If I have to pick just one, then "Le Tour du monde en 80 jours," by Jules Verne. 5 9 6 1 4 3
