Bal Harbour

P H OTO S BY S H E N W I L L I A M S - CO H E N ( N G U Y E N, O G B O N N A ); N A DYA K A RYO (C H E S H E S) 1 BEVERLY NGUYEN Beverly Nguyen is a New York City–based fashion editor and contributing stylist for Bal Harbour. "We traveled to Saint Kitts for this issue's cover story," says Nguyen. "The island built the perfect narrative for our cover model, Nidhi Sunil, who was fearless at Black Rocks, herding mountain goats, and navigating between land and sea by boat. The spirit of the islanders contributed to the life in the images, and made this story come alive." 2 BRAD OGBONNA Brad Ogbonna is a Brooklyn-based photographer, but can be found on the road more often than not. This is his fourth year contributing to Bal Harbour, and this year's project took him to the dual-island nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis for a two-day adventure. "I was blown away by the natural beauty and how kind everyone was. I also now might be considering taking a cruise sooner than later." 3 AMANDA EBERSTEIN Amanda Eberstein is a writer, editor, and creative consultant based in Los Angeles. A New York City native, she previously worked as an editor at Departures and Architectural Digest, before serving as the editor-in-chief of Angeleno and Interiors California magazines. Eberstein writes and produces "Style Setters," which this issue features interior designer Brigette Romanek, fashion executive Erin Pollard, and content creator Carolina Lindo. 4 JAY CHESHES New York—based writer Jay Cheshes covers art, design, food, and travel for WSJ, Smithsonian, and Robb Report, among other publications. For Bal Harbour, he examines the new influx of super-wealth into Miami as Jeff Bezos and a slew of new billionaire transplants leave their mark on the city, which seems to be running out of mega-yacht berths and private jet parking spots.
