The world of luxury is rich with heritage and artistry. If that idea is unique even today, it was revolutionary in 1965 when Stanley Whitman and his family opened Bal Harbour Shops. With its signature palm grove and serene Koi ponds, America's first all-luxury shopping center was really a world unto itself, rivaled only by the quality and character of the product on display. It is with the same vision of all-encompassing luxury that the Whitmans decided to launch a magazine for their tenants more than a decade ago. This publication has created its own legacy, in turn. Just as luxury houses collaborate with masters of their trade, our collaborators include some of today's most acclaimed writers like Kate Betts, Lynn Yaeger and Degen Pener and sought-after photographers ranging from Ruven Afanador to Michael Thompson. In this issue, Yaeger interviews legendary stylist Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, and we profile designers Greg Chait and Rosie Assoulin, who show that fashion still has conventions to break, and photographer Russell James shoots supermodel Hilary Rhoda for our cover story, styled by Fashion Director Sarah Gore Reeves, in a gorgeous garden just outside of New York City. But, perhaps most exciting, for Bal Harbour's golden anniversary, we commissioned four renowned fashion illustrators—Megan Hess, Jean-Philippe Delhomme, Ruben Toledo and Blair Breitenstein—to create an original design inspired by the shops, beginning on page 83. Bal Harbour Shops' enduring allure has continued to attract the most coveted names in fashion—most recently the luxury house Goyard, which will open a new boutique this fall. Writer Jessica Michault—who is balharbourshops.com's newly appointed fashion news editor—gets a rare peek behind the scenes of the house, beginning on page 198. Beyond the printed page, Balharbourshops.com continues the dialogue with original content spanning fashion, culture and lifestyle, embodying the ethos that makes Bal Harbour Shops an unparalleled destination for luxury and style.
