The collaborators that helped shape this issue each brought their individual areas of expertise, backgrounds and points of view to produce—what I believe is—our best issue yet. From makeup artists to manicurists, every person contributes to the secret sauce that makes an issue sing. As many people have said, a good issue of a magazine is much like a good cocktail party—old friends, new friends and lots of eye candy, or, in this case, visual inspiration. Speaking of, Russian supermodel Anne V served up plenty of inspiration for seasoned photographer James Macari, who—on his first assignment for Bal Harbour—captured the leggy blonde at Milk Studios in New York City. Anne V not only wowed us with her beauty, but her personality and enthusiasm had us all charmed. Contributing fashion editor Sarah Gore Reeves, whose impeccable taste can be felt in all of this issue's fashion stories, brought another layer of style savvy into the shoot by juxtaposing the best of this season's collections with patterned backgrounds. Also in this issue, contributing writer Lynn Yaeger takes us on her personal journey through the fashion industry, from her first seat at a fashion show to becoming pals with today's leading designers. Minimalist style icon Tomas Maier opens up to Bee Shapiro about labels, logos and the art of craftsmanship, while Donald Robertson, the most wanted illustrator of the moment, talks to writer Ted Loos about how his Instagram feed changed his life. Robertson's whimsical illustrations pop off of the pages of our new, more portable format. The upbeat mood in fashion right now is felt everywhere you turn at Bal Harbour Shops. If you haven't already checked out the newest stores—Maje, Rag & Bone, John Varvatos and Charlotte Olympia—or the expanded and updated ones—including Intermix, Chloé, Salvatore Ferragamo and Oscar de la Renta—don't wait another moment. And make sure you mark your agenda for Vince, Dsquared2 and Buccellati, all of which are opening their doors by the end of this year. I hope to see you at the shops!
