Serena Williams Ultimate RUN South Beach

/

Photography by Augustus Laurencin To kick-off the event, The Ultimate Evening with Serena Williams which took place on Friday, December 12th, served as a fabulous opener for what this event is all about – helping those in need. This event included attendees who placed bids on exclusive live and silent auction items benefitting The Serena Williams Fund. The fund “provides assistance to families affected by violent crimes and provides underprivileged youth around the world with the highest quality of education available to them.”     The first annual Serena Williams Ultimate RUN South Beach was held this past Sunday, December 14th on Ocean Drive. More than two thousand runners participated of all ages and abilities to support the Serena Williams Fund. Registrants received a premium Nike tech gender-specific Serena Williams Ultimate Run t-shirt and a custom finisher medal with chip-timed result as a prize for participating. Also in attendance for the run, Venus Williams, joined her sister in post-race celebrations which included singing karaoke jams for their audience. “Today’s run was so enjoyable and the spirit of everyone who came out was so passionate which helped me to build the energy I needed for my first quarter marathon. I’ve never ran that far before, so I had to pace myself, but I was pleased with my finish time. I’d like to thank all the sponsors and everyone who participated in the run to help raise money for underprivileged youth around the world,” said Serena.

A Warm Wave of New York’s Contemporary Abstract Expression— The Artist Zuz Delights Miami Beach Art Basel VIP’s

/

The room stood with anticipation as NYC artist Zuz (aka The Artist Zuz) unveiled her latest work Silk and Paper. The reveal took place at a special reception during Art Basel in Miami Beach at a celebration of her show made possible by Sriracha House. Part of the night’s excitement was the exclusive preview of Zuz’s silk sculptures – an unusual combination of painted textile, which the artist molds onto a wire mesh, forcing permanence on what is typically an esoteric styling of fabric. The result was a sensual display of undulating drapery topped with the signature painted line work for which The Artist Zuz is known. (Her work can be seen online at www.IamZuz.com).     Guests also had the chance to take home one of two sketches, which the artist created specifically for the evening’s affair. “I work intuitively in a style similar to action painting but I focus on resolving complexities in a way that is positive and exciting,” said Zuz at the reception. “That’s what I wish to pass on through the work and it was a pleasure to extend that vibe by giving something back to those who came to support my work.” Her colorful collection of sculptures and drawings is pleasantly positive in tone, a direct reflection of The Artist Zuz’s vibrant energy.     In keeping with the playful spirit of the night’s event, each winner was announced over a guest-given drum roll before they ran up to the front to claim their original works. The rest of the attendees happily snacked on Asian-fusion cuisine provided by the newly opened Sriracha House and basked in the afterglow of contemporary expression, as translated by The Artist Zuz. A successful evening for everyone involved and possibly even a sign of an emerging movement within the contemporary art scene.

Abstract artist, Blake Emory, used his signature style to debut his Zebra Love collection in this year’s Art Basel Miami. His artwork was showcased in Optic Modernism at this year’s Spectrum Miami. The pieces represent Emory’s discovery of what he refers to as “nature’s grand design” through a combination of fashion and “divine geometry” inspired by the animal kingdom. If you look closely, you can see the silhouette of a female model. Not only is Emory invested in his artwork, but he has also teamed up with Michael Alden, CEO and President of Blue Vase Marketing, to release a limited edition premium vodka in March 2015. The vodka is modeled after his Zebra Love collection is to be named “Emory Vodka.”

Miami Real Estyle – The Real Deal with Bravo TV’s Chris Leavitt

/

By Gisel Habibnejad When Bravo TV’s Million Dollar Listing Miami star, Chris Leavitt, is not busy breaking real estate records – he can be found relaxing in many of Miami’s luxurious spas. By perfecting the balancing act of work and play, he has become the essence of all that is Miami. His smart work ethic not only derives from drive and ambition, but it stems from his 20+ years of experience dating back to when his parents first invested in real estate which peaked his interest. Chris inspires many current and future real estate brokers who idolize him. MSM catches up with Chris Leavitt for a one-on-one interview: MSM: What about Miami do you love the most? CL: I love the fact that I am watching it turn into a world-class city right before my eyes. The finest hotels, spas, and restaurants are opening up and also culture is moving into Miami like never before with new museums and parks. MSM: In your opinion, what is the state of the Miami real estate economy? CL: Booming with no sign of slowing down. MSM: Tell us about the characteristics of your typical client. CL: I tend to have clients who demand the finest things in life. My clients also require the absolute best customer service, and fortunately, that is my speciality. MSM: Where do you find your clients or how do your clients find you? CL: My client base is almost 100 percent word of mouth referrals. MSM: In what Miami developments can we find some of your biggest listings? CL: THE BATH CLUB ESTATES. MSM: Share with us what has been your most successful deal to date. CL: My most successful deal to date is not necessarily the most expensive but one where I was able to sell a house in Palm Beach on a bet. The seller and I bet that I could sell it in 10 days and I did it. The seller told me it would take me at least 30 days and I did it in 10 days as I promised. MSM: What is the approximate aggregate dollar value of all your listings today? CL: Well over $200 million. MSM: In 2013, it is said you sold over $120 million in real estate transactions. That’s a number that instills a lot of envy in the eyes of many agents on the street. What is it about your business approach that differs from the agent selling less than $5 million a year in transactions? CL: I work smart. I know how to navigate away from people that will never buy or are unrealistic sellers, and focus on collaborating with clients that are focused on making a deal. MSM: Do you feel your fashionable style plays a significant role in attracting the high net worth clients that surround you? CL: It doesn’t hurt, but what attracts clients to me is my honesty, trustworthiness, and hustle. MSM: In Bravo Tv’s Million Dollar Listing Miami, you carry yourself with great style. Do you shop with a personal wardrobe stylist or do you style yourself? CL: Thank you. I do all of my own shopping and have a very discriminating taste when it comes to my personal style. I feel that my personal style reflects the high-end, luxury brand image of my clients and the fine homes I sell. MSM: How do you celebrate on the day of closing of a multi-million dollar deal? CL: Spa, spa and more spa! Photographed by JUAN FERNANDO Renderings Courtesy of BATH CLUB ESTATES    Click here to view post on the November/December 2014 issue.

#GIRLBOSS… The Book Review

/

By Katie Jackson #GIRLBOSS will leave you wanting to create your own empire—and to always believe in yourself If you’re in need of an inspirational pick-me-up that will leave you ready to start living out your dreams, #GIRLBOSS is an absolute must-read. Sophia Amoruso, CEO and founder of the leading fashion retailer Nasty Gal, shares her story of how she went from a dumpster-diving, community college dropout to the leader of a 100 million dollar company. In her fascinating fashion tell-all, Amoruso fills in the blanks of her inspirational life, while also providing advice that proves that you can make something out of nothing with pure passion and drive. Within the #GIRLBOSS pages, you will learn how Amoruso launched, merchandised, styled, and photographed the models (whom she paid in burgers) for her original online store called Nasty Gal Vintage all on her own. You will see how she went from a one-woman band working from her bed in a pool house with no kitchen in Pleasant Hill, California, to overseeing more than 350 employees in a gigantic office in Los Angeles. But while details of Amoruso’s monumental rise provide crucial business and marketing tips, perhaps what is most interesting about #GIRLBOSS is Amoruso’s emotionally wise insight and ability to inspire others through her own life lessons. Each chapter of the book is accompanied with a profound quote from a leader in the fashion, business, political or art world (e.g. Chapter Eight’s quote, “I never dreamed about success, I worked for it,” by Estee Lauder). Within each chapter, Amoruso applies that quote to her own life and provides up-front and honest wisdom in which everyone, women and men, can learn. In addition, snippets called “Portrait of a #GIRLBOSS” are included throughout the book. Refinery 29’s editor-in-chief Christene Barberich, blogger Alexi Wasser of “I’m Boy Crazy,” Nasty Gal’s own buying director Christina Ferrucci, and senior stylist Ashley Glorioso among others give tips from their own successes that tie into Amoruso’s overall theme of triumph through honest passion, hard work, and belief in yourself. For someone who was once classified as a “dumpster-diver,” Amoruso certainly seems to have it all figured out, not only in business, but in life as well. There’s a reason acclaimed publications such as the New York Times, Forbes, and Elle are raving about Amoruso’s #GIRLBOSS: it’s simply amazing. Spare yourself the regret and get your copy ASAP.
