“Style isn’t just about what you wear,” Lilly Pulitzer famously said. “It’s how you live.” That simple statement encapsulates Palm Beach style, which should surprise no one considering it was the mantra of the island’s original fashion icon. Lilly was nothing if not an individualist—elegant on one hand, irreverent on the other. She believed happiness is the best accessory, and true style is all about being yourself, regardless of how far it veers from center. That viewpoint was the guiding principle in selecting the five chic gentlemen for our inaugural “Palm Beach Dandies” feature. Each chosen for his originality and resolute sense of self, this year’s dandies display head-turning style and, more importantly, are fearless in their sartorial choices. Take Wyatt Koch, for example, who combines colors and patterns in…

“IT’S A SILHOUETTE CREATED BY A VARIETY OF PIECES, INSPIRED BY DIFFERENT ERAS AND TIMELESS ICONS. ECLECTICISM IS FREEDOM TO BUILD YOURSELF, EXPRESS YOUR OWN PERSONALITY AND RESPECT YOUR COMPLEXITY.” —ANTHONY VACCARELLO Associations often define fashion. For Yves Saint Laurent, it was the way Paloma Picasso restyled vintage and made it her own that inspired him to mix elements from different decades in his designs. This season, Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello uncovered prints from the ’80s archives that reference artist Henri Matisse’s cutouts. Splashed across the sleek Kate monogram chain bag ($1,990), the prints illustrate how muses can be reinterpreted for a new generation. Turn the page for more hot picks.…

It’s time to show off those chopstick skills because a gateway to the Far East has opened on Palm Beach. Hai House delivers a dose of diversity with elevated interpretations of Chinese-American classics—think Singapore-style rice noodles (pictured here), delectable dim sum, and wow-factor plates like whole fried snapper and Peking duck for two—from chef James Strine, who most recently held executive chef positions at Buccan and Grato. Though the recipes for Chinese sauces such as General Tso’s are typically carefully guarded secrets, Strine has cracked the code. Embellishments like crispy wontons and homemade fortune cookies frame standouts like Char Siu ribs, Mongolian beef and broccoli, and lo mein. Add sexy environs and a cocktail menu infused with unique ingredients including shiso, lychee, and lemongrass, and the result is a fun…

Radical is relative. By definition, the term refers to something that operates outside of the norm or revolts against the traditional—but what constitutes normal varies from generation to generation. Beginning in the 1850s through the turn of the century, British artists reacted to an era of widespread industrialization by looking to Renaissance and medieval art and embracing a visual narrative of unencumbered beauty. “Victorian Radicals: From the Pre-Raphaelites to the Arts and Crafts Movement,” a traveling exhibition on view at the Vero Beach Museum of Art through May 5, showcases this moment in art history through 140 paintings, drawings, watercolors, and items. This collection chronicles the three generations of creatives who comprised the United Kingdom’s first modern art movement, all of whom were grappling with the concept of industrialization and…

Palm Beach County’s footprint within the global animal conservation community is growing. For more than 25 years, the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation has worked to preserve biodiversity through conservation projects spearheaded at its 30-acre property in Loxahatchee. More recently, RSCF joined forces with Florida International University to form the Tropical Conservation Institute, which unites researchers and students in an effort to save species from extinction and maintain their ecosystems. While the institute is based in Miami, it will operate a new facility in Palm Beach County, following the purchase of five acres adjacent to the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation. This development will allow for great growth for the institute and its mission, to include housing for visiting students and researchers, as well as the means to train the next generation…

Photographed on location at the Koch residence, Palm Beach In the Palm Beach home of Julia and David Koch, there is a framed photo that shows two little girls in white bonnets celebrating their first birthday together. They were born 11 hours apart to mothers who’d been longtime friends, so they were destined to grow up together and maybe, if their personalities meshed, become besties like their moms. Seventeen years later, on the eve of their formal debut to society and the media, Alice Maxey and Mary Julia Koch contemplated the friendship that had been a constant during their lives even as they grew into very different individuals. “For every milestone I’ve reached in life,” says Mary Julia, “I’ve had Alice.” Life’s moments, even trivial ones, are better in each…

bruce and Claudia Helander’s new Lake Worth home embodies who they are. Bruce, a talented collage artist whose images and objects permeate his living environment, and Claudia, a Colombian-born garden designer influenced by South Florida’s semitropical environment, have dedicated decades to collecting flea market items, fine art, and entertaining tchotchkes. They surround themselves with these finds, which are carefully curated to form a dynamic visual statement. While their tastes are eccentric and do not adhere to traditional rules of art, both know exactly what they want. The Helanders prefer to shop together, locally and while traveling. For them, every outing offers a delicious discovery of vintage pieces with utilitarian purposes that will last a lifetime. “We are scavengers, and if I see something when Claudia is not with me, I…

Downtown Lake Worth will be awash in a sea of rainbow colors March 30 and 31 when Compass Community Center hosts the annual Palm Beach Pride festival and parade. “Your first Pride is a whirlwind, and you feel more alive than ever,” says Julia Murphy, Compass’ chief development officer. “You can come as who you are.

The parade occurs on Sunday and kicks off at Lucerne Avenue and M Street. As Murphy explains, Palm Beach Pride is all about acceptance. This family-friendly festival celebrates LGBTQ individuals and culture, but everyone is welcome. “You…

Leslee Shupe was a fashion influencer long before the term was used to describe bloggers on Instagram. With a grandfather in the industry, her adoration for fashion began at a young age, and in 2003, she became the owner of Serenella, the ultra-chic Boston boutique known for its A-list clientele. While curating special and exclusive pieces from top and emerging designers, Shupe expanded Serenella to locations in Nantucket and at The Royal Poinciana Plaza in Palm Beach, where she vacationed with her grandparents years ago. When she’s not buzzing around in one of her three stores, she can be found sitting front row at Fashion Week, walking her Kerry blue terrier, Finian, or supporting local nonprofits such as The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness and Big Dog Ranch Rescue. HAILS…

Online branding consultant Tatiana Platt has traveled the world but no destination captures her intrigue like Marrakech. “There’s a magical element to the sights and sounds of the bustling souks, vibrant colors of traditional Moroccan garb, melodic prayer calls from the minaret tops, and aroma of fresh clementines at the many outdoor stands,” she says. The multilingual Palm Beacher—who’s lived in Hong Kong, Europe, and Russia—began visiting Marrakech as a child to see her godfather, Frederick Vreeland, who had a home there. The city is so dear to her heart that she and her husband, Campion, held a wedding celebration in Morocco in 2005, one year after tying the knot at The Mar-a-Lago Club. Platt returns annually to share this cross-section of Arabic culture and French heritage with her three…

All vodka is not created equal. “We’re following the trend of moving away from mass-market, national brands to products with a regional identity,” says Palm Beach spirits entrepreneur Matti Anttila, who founded Dixie Vodka in 2014. He decided to make Charleston, South Carolina the venture’s home base in a nod to the city’s reputation as the culinary capital of the South. Distilled six times from non-GMO corn, Dixie—which is also available in black pepper, citrus, mint, and wildflower flavors—utilizes a patented purification system called TerrePure. This natural, post-distillation process uses ultrasonic energy to remove unwanted impurities, resulting in a cleaner, smoother spirit. Local retailers and restaurants such as Buccan, The Regional, and PB Catch stock the label. One of the signature cocktails is Dixie Darlin’, originally created by mixologist Josh…

The gang’s back together in Friends! The Musical Parody, onstage at the Kravis Center’s Rinker Playhouse March 19 and 20. This adults-only show pokes fun at the hit NBC comedy Friends like only true fans can—with love, honor, and plenty of Chandler’s signature sarcasm. Return to Central Perk and Monica’s massive Manhattan apartment (how did she ever afford that?) to revisit memorable moments such as Rachel’s runaway-bride entrance, Phoebe’s renditions of “Smelly Cat,” and the group’s countless Thanksgiving shenanigans. Friends! The Musical Parody truncates 10 years of sitcom gold into easily digestible tidbits written and produced by Bob and Tobly McSmith, whose other credits include The Office! A Musical Parody and Bayside! The Saved by the Bell Musical. Tickets to the show’s three performances cost $42 each. Could we be…

Spring is a time of renewal, making it the perfect season to declutter your life, update your closet, and prioritize self-care. For me, spring is synonymous with sleeker, more refreshing fashions. Get rid of those drop ball and tassel earrings so ubiquitous this past fall and graduate to an unconventional hoop, such as my pick from J.Crew’s former jewelry designer, Lele Sadoughi. Complement them with one of Staud’s “totes” adorable see-through bags. Further embrace this season of rebirth by revamping your beauty rituals. Eliminate countless products and numerous visits to the dermatologist in favor of two of my favorite go-to items: the Foreo Luna Mini 2 massager and cleanser, and the über-popular GloPro microneedling tool from BeautyBio. Regardless of what fills your shopping bag this spring, remember to be kind…
