Bal Harbour

MARIA VOGEL Maria Vogel is a writer, art advisor and curator based in New York City. She is a contributing editor at Cultured magazine and has written for many of the art world's top publications. With all of her work, Vogel is a conduit to further the stories of artists, such as Victoria Tentler- Krylov, who won this year's Bal Harbour Shops Creative Challenge. Vogel also interviewed Frette CEO Filippo Arnaboldi. "Writing about Frette opened my eyes to a crossroad of history and opulence I had previously been unfamiliar with," says Vogel. "It also made me seriously reconsider my current bedding." Contributors AMANDA EBERSTEIN Amanda Eberstein is a writer, editor and creative consultant based in LA. She was previously an editor at Departures and Architectural Digest, before serving as the editor-in-chief of Angeleno and Interiors California magazines. "I loved writing about such a varied group of people for this issue's Style Setters," says Eberstein. "From Alexandre Assouline, who is the epitome of classic French cool, to Tina Leung, who can mix just about anything and somehow look equal parts daring and put- together, each individual had something inspired to say." Eberstein also profiled Italian jewelry house Vhernier in celebration of its new Bal Harbour boutique. DJUNA BEL Djuna Bel styled supermodel Hilary Rhoda for the cover story, "Child of the '90s." On set, she learned that she "has no problem walking in the Valentino 'Barbie' platforms," and that "flat-footed, I was still taller than Hilary!" Bel, who also interviewed Rhoda for our "Behind the Cover" Q&A, is a self-proclaimed wellness junkie and lives in Los Angeles with her husband Nikolai Haas and their 4-year-old child, Fox. 62 BAL HARBOUR
