Bal Harbour

behind the scenes With her fiery red mane and magnetic presence, Connecticut-born model Tianna St. Louis lights up this issue's cover story, "You're Welcome." Once asked if she'd ever shave her head, she laughed, "Absolutely not—my hair is my crown!" Having fronted campaigns for Tom Ford, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Fendi, St. Louis embodies modern glamour with a confident ease. For this in-studio shoot, photographer Meg McConville captured her expressive spirit through an emotive lens, while stylist Scott Shapiro dressed her in the Resort collections' most dazzling looks. Fittingly, St. Louis—an avid traveler—brought her own sense of wanderlust to set, reminding us that true style is as much about self-expression as it is about adventure. FROM TOP Photographer Meg McConville brings out model Tianna St. Louis's attitude and humor in a satin cream dress from Stella McCartney with Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello Kirat mules; an Isabel Marant suit with Golden Goose shirt and Santoni pumps; and an electric-blue Loewe gown.

'Tis the time of year to indulge, and our Holiday Gift Guide, "Unwrap the Season," brings the decadence. Shot by Mitch Zachary and styled by Jasmine James, this issue's still-life shoot showcases the ultimate wish-list mix of jewelry and accessories— from a Gucci tie and horsebit brass necklace to thigh-high Balmain boots and Diptyque candles. With so many covetable pieces on set, assembling the shot became a fashion- forward game of Tetris, each item finding its perfect place in this splurge-worthy display of obects of desire. on set P H OTO S BY B I L LY K I E S S L I N G (G I F T G U I D E ) BALHAR B O U RSH O P S .CO M
