Exclusivity is a word that is often overused in relation toluxury products and experiences. But what does it reallymean? Surely, a sense of it can be experienced in relationto culture, craft and beauty that we highlight here in thepages of Appeal. The destinations that Oetker Collectioncrafts – between city, slopes, forest and island – are uni-fied by a certain sense of exclusivity, and most especiallywith Frégate Island Private joining Oetker Collectionthis year. They are exclusive, however, not in a negativesense referring to what they exclude, but rather in a pos-itive sense referring to what they offer and deliver toguests: attentiveness, pleasant surprises, and uniquelytailored opportunities for relaxation and discovery. Ex-clusivity is about a feeling of gratitude and privilege inknowing how to take part in the best that life has to offerbetween the pleasures of art and architecture, fashionand cuisine, city and sea. Enjoy.

AVANT-GARDEA young milliner Maiko Takeda fuses design disciplines

It is difficult to categorise the avant-garde creations of the designer MaikoTakeda. The creative disciplines of hat making, jewellery and fashion arefused in the work of this Japanese designer. Originally trained in jewellerydesign at London’s Central Saint Martin’s, the Tokyo-born talent then wenton to complete an MA in millinery at the Royal College of Art. And, whileher internships spanned from working in the studios of jewellers such asErickson Beamon to those of celebrated milliners Stephen Jones and PhilipTreacy, there was yet further education to be had in fashion at the atelier ofIssey Miyake. Naturally, her work has become a unique blend of the threedisciplines, united by her own vision.

“Ethereal adornment” is how Takeda herself prefers to describe her signa-ture headwear. Having graduated only in May 2013, she presented what isher second collection during London Fashion Week in September 2013. En-titled ‘Atmospheric Reentry’, the spectacular headpieces were created with

hundreds of spiky feather-like units constructed from clear acrylic discs, co-lour-gradient tinted film and silver jump rings. Covering the face and thenextending into significant volumes, the headwear cannot be described ashats, nor can it really be described as fashion either. Takeda says the collec-tion was designed, “to transcend the traditional expectations of headwear.”

Having already found a muse in the musician Björk (the singer-songwriterand fashion pioneer, wore a piece from the ‘Atmospheric Reentry’ Collec-tion during her tour this summer), Takeda credits music as an importantinspiration in her work. Specifically, her latest collection was influenced byRobert Wilson’s 1976 production of Philip Glass’s opera ‘Einstein on theBeach’. Adding music into Takeda’s diverse range of inspirations and refe-rences only makes her unique fusion of fashion, millinery and jewellery yetmore compelling as a glimpse into the aesthetics of the future. www.maikotakeda.com

A textured allure

Colder weather seasons call for textures that are warming, soft and enveloping. Adding a child-like sense of security to our everyday duties, designers understand that wintertime calls for comfort in our closest. Style and colour aside, though important

as they are, the tactile allure of hyper luxurious materials is where the heart and seduction of true elegance resides.

SYMBIOSISAt the heart of a Marrakech, heritage comes to life

When Paul Klee and his fellow painters August Macke and Louis Moillietleft for Tunisia in April 1914, rich visual impressions awaited them in thepeople, architecture and scenery. The excursion inspired the three artists toproduce hundreds of sketches, watercolours and oil paintings. In a largersense, the work that this visit inspired marked a significant shift in the mo-vement of art history away from the anecdotal 19th century Orientalism andtowards early Modernism in its unprecendented manipulation of colour andlight. Paul Klee, for example, dissolved the object of his paintings into planesof patterned colour.

An exhibition of forty works of modern art, on display at Palais Namaksarin Marrakech until December 8, 2013, celebrates 100 years since this legen-dary journey. Entitled ‘Symbiosis of Two Worlds’, organised and curated bythe German cultural foundation the Written Art Foundation, the exhibit-ion highlights the way in which North Africa has always held, and conti-nues to hold, a unique appeal for European writers and artists. French artistshad already created an artistic bridge, including Claude Monet and AugusteRenoir, who visited Algeria. Matisse lived for a time in Morocco, painting

some of his major works there. After the Second World War, a very close exchange of ideas and programmes between Arabian and European artiststook place; many gifted North African artists from Morocco, Tunisia andAlgeria came to Europe, without relinquishing their tradition or calligra-phic language. Amongst them, the exhibition presents Farid Belkahia, bornin Marrakech, as well as Shafic Abboud, Mehdi Qotbi, Rachid Koraïchi, NjaMahdaoui, Mimouni El Houssaine, and many others. From the Europeanside, the exhibition presents works by Pierre Soulages, Pierre Alechinsky andAntoni Tapiès; other Post-Modernists included are Georg Baselitz, GerhardRichter, Cy Twombly, Rebecca Horn and Mark Tobey.

Also to mark the centenary of this cultural exchange, the German fine artpublisher Hatje Cantz will release the book ‘The Travel to Tunisia, 1914: PaulKlee, August Macke, Louis Moilliet’ in March 2014 to coincide with an exhi-bition at Zentrum Paul Klee in Switzerland from March 15 until June 22,2014. The exhibition at Palais Namaskar in Marrakech and the supportingcultural events throughout Europe represents an historical context for acommon future ahead based on mutual respect, inspiration and dialogue.

Chef Eric Frechon, who oversees the restaurants and bars at Le Bristol Paris,has a lot to celebrate this year. The 114 Faubourg gained its first Michelin-starearlier this year, when the eagerly awaited February announcements weremade, noting the work of Chef Eric Desbordes who works under Chef EricFrechon’s supervision; Epicure, meanwhile, already claims three Michelin-stars as one of Paris’s leading gastronomic restaurants. And, in July 2013, LeBar du Bristol was elected ‘Best Luxury Hotel Bar Worldwide’ at the LuxuryTravel Advisor’s 2012 Awards of Excellence. In addition to these importantrecognitions, there are fourth, second and first year anniversaries, respecti-vely, to be duly celebrated.

Maxime Hoerth, Head Barman of Le Bar du Bristol, named a ‘Meilleur Ou-vrier de France’ in 2011, created a limited edition cocktail to celebrate theyoungest of birthdays at Le Bristol Paris, named after the number of days inits first year: ‘365’. As the quintessence of French savoir-faire, only 365 ser-vings of this nectar will be available, accompanied by a numbered card fromone to 365, noting its limited edition. The ‘365’ cocktail is crafted with a baseof mille-fleurs honey syrup, the first issue from Le Bristol Paris’s own bee-hive. Added to this are a few drops of bitters elaborated with nuts and spices,at the hands of the young and talented Maxime Hoerth who is celebratedfor his tasteful sense of innovation. This base marries harmoniously withFrench artisanal alcohols, sourced from traditional, family-operated pro-ducers such as Cognac Lheraud Grande Champagne 1975, a vintage issuedfrom the best terroir in the Cognac region, and Champagne Extra-Brut Ver-gnon, a grand cru ‘blanc de blancs’ from the Mesnil-sur-Oger region.

This seasonal, utterly delicious elixir is best tasted to the background musicof the evening DJ sets playing every Thursday, Friday and Saturday and, tofurther finish the stunning effect on the senses, it is garnished with a sculp-tural piece of lemon rind and a peacock feather, which is the signature motifthroughout the interior design of Le Bar du Bristol. The captivating irides-cent hues of the peacock feather are gently recalled in yet another design

detail, this time at the restaurant Epicure, where each table features an iri-descent Baccarat crystal butterfly, resting, before alighting upon a brightlycoloured dahlia flower found in the interior design of 114 Faubourg. It isthese touches of fancy, small gestures of beauty and finesse that make thesethree institutions living Parisian legends, places of respite for palettes seek-ing surprise, excellence and art de vivre à la française.

Le Bar du Bristol could be likened to the heart of Le Bristol Paris. For, theinstitution of the hotel bar is an important one across cosmopolitan cities,evoking an old world club, a private members’ destination, or an intimateinvitation to enjoy a drink by the fireside within a friend’s drawing room. Ina certain sense, it is the centre of this Parisian establishment and additio-nally, for some, the centre of Parisian society. As a place where an overallexperience is perfectly rounded off – the way that an aperitif, snack or afterdinner drink can punctuate an evening – Le Bar du Bristol is a place whereguests regroup and resource throughout their stay. This is particularly truein winter months when the season is gone for al fresco terrace drinks and dining. With its inviting fireplace, trendy music, extremely comfortablechairs, soothing lighting and superb service, it is little surprise that in justone year, according to a certain industry accolade, Le Bar du Bristol wasnamed the best luxury hotel bar in the world. Every evening a huge mirrortransforms into a screen and shows a selection of videos of contemporaryart, featuring themes such as travel, architecture, urbanism and landscapes,as well as movies and movie icons. Furthermore, a contemporary art appre-ciation programme takes place every evening between 8.00 pm and 9.30 pm,with a new theme every month, to reflect the many historic links that existbetween the art world and Le Bristol Paris.

This youngest of birthdays – one year for Le Bar du Bristol – promises manyyears ahead. In the context of its ‘elder siblings’, the restaurant Epicure and114 Faubourg, this trio of opportunities for enjoying life’s pleasures is three-fold and getting grander, wiser and finer by the day.

Four years ago, on the corner of rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and avenue Matignon in Paris, Le Bristol Paris’s luxury brasserie 114 Faubourg opened itsdoors. Two years ago, Epicure, Le Bristol Paris’s three Michelin-starred restaurant, unveiled a refurbished dining environment bathed in natural light. Andjust one year ago, Le Bar du Bristol reset the standard for international hotel bars with its warm, truly opulent interiors. Each with their own anniversaryyears, three destinations celebrate some of Paris’s most refined temptations for the palette.

FRÉGATE ISLAND PRIVATE

Nearing the definition of paradise

PERFECTION

As the farthest eastern island of the Inner Seychelles in the Indian Ocean,Frégate Island Private is a haven of peace, privacy and nature preserved. It isthe eighth ‘masterpiece hotel’ in Oetker Collection, joining in July 2013;Frégate Island Private comprises seven beaches, seven pieces of paradise.

Across the private island’s 2.19 square metres, 16 residences each with a ter-race, infinity pool and private Jacuzzi are naturally isolated from each otherand disappear into the verdant countryside. Guests can privatise a beach, oneof which was named ‘The World’s Best Beach’ by the British daily newspa-per The Times; guests can even privatise the entire island.

“When we visited the hotel for the first time,” recounts Didier Le Calvez,Senior Vice President Operations and Sales & Marketing Oetker Collection,

“we were marvelled by the engagement of the establishment in favour ofsustainable development.” Frégate Island Private strikes the rare and perfectbalance between luxury and a controlled ecological imprint. Amidst thescent of Franipani and Ylang-ylang trees and the lush, luxuriant, indige-nous forest is a sanctuary to over one hundred species of tropical birds, someextremely rare, as well as the second largest population in the world – 2000total – of free-roaming prehistoric Giant Aldabra Tortoises. With turquoisetropical waters filled with kaleidoscopic marine life, Frégate Private Islandis a jewel of conservation, a veritable haven.

Guests are invited to engage the rhythm of local living rather than view itas a visiting outsider. A significant part of the cuisine comes from produceof extreme freshness and supreme quality that is cultivated in the island’s

rich agricultural environment where over 160 varieties of vegetables, fruits,spices and herbs are grown; the taste of home-grown herbs, the scent offresh coffee and tamarind altogether impress the senses. And, in anotherturn of redefining modern luxury, Madame Dibwa at The Rock Spa does notuse commercial products but, again, locally sourced ingredients to offer in-finitely personalised and energising treatments: papaya, Grobum, banana,coconut oil, crushed coral from the beach, lemongrass and cucumber.

Take a Sashimi Cruise with your private chef to go fishing, with sashimi andsushi later served from your catch. Stroll through the woods to arrive at aplateau with a grand, stunning view – the perfect place to enjoy high tea.Cruise into the private island harbour, with a fully equipped PADI dive cen-tre. Dive, snorkel, and enjoy a beach barbeque on a secluded peninsula. And

for children, there is no better and bigger playground than this. With a mys-terious, captivating legacy of pirates who were the island’s early settlers, chil-dren dream and live an adventure. Yet today, it is a haven of peace, a hymnto nature and an oasis. It is the ultimate in privacy, seclusion and security.

Though Frégate Island Private is far from the world, its values are directly intune with the same sort of experiences one can have at the centre of bustlingParis, France, at Le Bristol. “Frégate Island Private is a perfect fit for OetkerCollection,” declares Frank Marrenbach, CEO de Oetker Collection. “With itsunique setting, a place dedicated to wellbeing, a unique decor and highlycustomised services, this is probably one of the most exciting private islandsin the world.” Exceptional moments are crafted here; indeed, Frégate IslandPrivate offers an invitation to return to paradise.

JAZZMENA glimpse into France’s passion for jazz

Q : Are you passionate about jazz? A : As a matter of fact, I am more passionate about photography than aboutjazz. What interested me particularly in jazz photography is that photogra-phy had a significant impact on the expansion of that musical genre. Jazzwas essentially black and mostly in the American South until the SecondWorld War. The fact that some otherwise famous photographers, such asWilliam Claxton, Herman Leonard or Phil Stern in the United States, andDaniel Filipacchi in France, decided to photograph jazzmen changed theirsocial status. These photographs also give a face to the sounds we love. And,when we listen to jazz, we can see the early jazzmen and can nearly imaginewe were there.

Q : Daniel Filipacchi’s perspective on jazz is particularly interestingconsidering his involvement in the media of publishing and radio. Howdo you feel his photographs are unique amongst the portraits?A : Contrary to most jazz photographers, Daniel did not shoot in clubs. Hewished to honour the musicians through formal studio portraits. More re-cently, Norman Seeff did the same in his studio in Burbank, California.

Q : Is this the first time Daniel Filipacchi has exposed his photography?If so, how were you able to convince him?A : Daniel has never shown his jazz photographs before. I have been talkingabout them for a number of years now and finally he was quite happy to beinvolved in this group show. I think that jazz is one of the strong passions inhis life; he liked the idea to remind people that his passions – for jazz, for

women and for art – had led him from being a young and talented photo-grapher to becoming a tycoon in the media. And, these passions are still withhim today.

Q : How did the idea for this exhibition come about? A : Visiting friends who had some wonderful jazz prints.

Q : What was the ‘editorial line’ in uniting all of the photographers inthe exhibition, in addition to the work of Daniel Filipacchi?A : We concentrated on a certain period (roughly 1945-1965). It is the periodwhen jazz reached New York and 52nd Street was vibrant with music. It isalso a time when musicians travelled to Europe where they could escapefrom the racism that was still ingrained in the USA. Some went to Holly-wood and worked for film scores.

We wished to show iconic images, such as Ella Fitzgerald by Herman Leo-nard, and to offer lesser known images, such as Carole Reiff or Marcel Fleissprints. My input was to make a wide selection of images. Daniel Filipacchimade the final choice and added some personal suggestions. All the imagesare about musicians. They are fairly emotional. Charlie Parker used to saythat he put all his life in his music: the present day, the past night, the joysand the sorrows. You can get that feeling when looking at these photographs.

ART & STYLE

When the Parisian gallerist Valérie-Anne Giscard d’Estaing organised the photography exhibition ‘Pour ceux qui aiment le Jazz’ (‘For Those Who LoveJazz’) this past autumn, she worked in tandem with Daniel Filipacchi as curator. The exhibition included a few intimate photographic portraits of jazz’s trulylegendary musicians taken by Filipacchi himself who, though now a highly accomplished publishing magnate, began his career as a photographer as wellas jazz concert promoter; the six photographs exhibited are being shown for the first time. The title of the exhibition is the name of the immensely popu-lar radio show, hosted by Daniel Filipacchi and Frank Ténot in the 1960s at a time when jazz was not played on government-owned French radio stations.These portraits by Filipacchi, and others from the exhibition, can be seen by appointment at the Photo 12 gallery in Paris. Its founder Valérie-Anne Giscardd'Estaing, daughter of the former President of the French Republic, also founded a publishing house and photography agency. Here, Appeal asks her aboutthis unique cultural collaboration.

Snowflakes, as ephemeral as they are, will forever capture the human imagination. As the most important icon of the winter season, with its festivities andoutdoor games, there is also the old adage attached to the snowflake that “no two are alike”. Indeed, snowflakes form in a variety of intricate shapes and almost all are unique. Their six-fold radial symmetry begins as a snow crystal, yet their complexity emerges as the flake moves through differing tempera-ture and humidity environments. Science aside, they are a metaphor for the style of individuality and a sense of genuine originality.

PERFECTION

SNOWFLAKESThe ultimate wintertime wonder

It is precisely these associations that led interior architect India Mahdavi,working in concert with Joseph Dirand, to elaborate the emblem of thesnowflake in design details found throughout the ski-in, ski-out destinationof the season, L’Apogée Courchevel, which opens December 11, 2013. Its lo-cation is truly unique, as the product of its environment built into themountainside heights of the French Alps in Courchevel 1850. “We created acoat of arms, which is the logo of L’Apogée Courchevel,” explains IndiaMahdavi. “It is inspired by the work of photographer Wilson Bentley. Throu-ghout L’Apogée Courchevel, this is found on the headboards and at the footof the beds, as well as on the studded chests.”

Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley, born in 1865 in Vermont, USA, is one of thefirst and most well known photographers of snowflakes. He perfected a pro-cess of catching snowflakes on black velvet in such a way that their imagescould be captured, by a bellows camera attached to a compound microscope,before melting or sublimating. His first photograph was on January 15, 1885and he would go on to produce over 5,000 over his lifetime. A book of thesephotographs, entitled ‘Snow Crystals’, was published by McGraw/Hill nearthe end of Bentley’s life and is still in print today. It is Bentley’s wonder andfascination with nature that the Kids Club at L’Apogée Courchevel aims

to encourage. The Mini VIP Kids Club, for example, leads young guests between the ages of four and ten around the surrounding countryside to explore the flora and fauna, and inside playrooms to study the awe-inspi-ring details of snowflake formation.

One of the more fascinating aspects about snowflakes is that they appearwhite in colour but they are in fact made of clear ice. This also means theydiffuse the colours around them, reflecting the whole spectrum of light.Creative Director of Dior jewellery and watches, Victoire de Castellane, alsoplays with this phenomenon in the latest collection of multicoloured jewels,Cher Dior, an example pictured below. With a majestic and colourful stoneselection, the collection borrows the play of symmetry and crystalline fresh-ness from the form of the snowflake. Furthermore, the metal openwork onthe back of each piece echoes patterns from lace designs found in the Diorarchive, also not far in delicacy, pattern and form from the snowflake.

As a wonderful metaphor for the human life and personality – each utterlyunique, precious and ephemeral – the snowflake will forever invite fascina-tion and dreaming. And from childhood to adulthood, it will always be a reminder of the very magic of a white winter.

L’APOGÉE COURCHEVEL

The 11th day, of the 12th month of 2013 opens a new destination, a new tradition

ICON

Located on the pristine heights of Le Jardin Alpin, on the very top of a for-mer Olympic ski jump, L’Apogée Couchevel is exactly what one craves interms of retreat, warmth and a return to civility after a day spent con-fronting nature’s mountainous elements. Its ski-in, ski-out facility makesthis transition immediate and flawless. L’Apogée Couchevel is made in sucha way that a return here, after a brisk day of skiing, is like a return to thecomfort and resources of home.

This was the intention from the beginning. “We wanted to create a warm,cosy place. People on a mountain holiday spend all day in the cold and do alot of sport in blinding light. We wanted them to be able to return to theirhotel and feel like they were being wrapped up snugly in a place where thesound was muted and the light pleasant; where things are easy,” explainsthe Paris-based interior architect Joseph Dirand who, in tandem with an-other leading Paris-based interior architect India Mahdavi, conceived the

interior environment of L’Apogée Courchevel from the smallest detail tothe overall flow of the spaces, from suite to spa, enveloping entrance toevery inviting nook in the bar. Both designers have known each other foryears; their respect for each other’s work and contrasting styles – Dirand’sstyle is minimalist, Mahdavi’s is maximalist – come together in a harmo-nious blend, unified by a common design philosophy.

The result is an interior with a sense of chic individualism, as a whole andamongst the sequence of individual spaces, each with its own unique rhythmbetween warmth and freshness. The choice of materials is paramount, andwas carefully considered. “We wanted to create a place that would cocoonand protect us, sheltered from the immensity of the environment. We chosewarm materials: wool, leather, suede, and linen. The variety and richness ofthe fabrics provide a warm, personal and non-sterile feel,” continues JosephDirand.

modernity, and intelligence. “The use of wood was self-evident. And, mar-bles – French Sarrancolin and Saint Laurent marbles and Irish Connemaramarbles. Each one has something to say. We used these for fireplaces, coun-tertops, tabletops, in the spa…” Many of the textiles were chosen specificallyfor the colour and texture they bring forth from the naturally complex un-dertones and details found in the marbles.

All are designed with exquisiteness in mind, and discretion: the 20 spaciousdouble rooms and 33 suites, including a Penthouse occupying the entire topfloor with a dedicated butler service and 360° views from a roof terrace, andthe private five-bedroom Chalet L’Amarante adjacent to the main buildingwith its own spa and cinema. They are “a place where you aren’t over-whelmed by the décor, somewhere that you can make your own,” describesthe other half of the dynamic design duo, India Mahdavi. “We chose mate-rials such as pine wood, wool and velvet in colours like burgundy, pinegreen, blue-green and ginghams.” Most of the bathrooms have stunningmountain views directly from the bath; into the room, indirect daylightadds an exceptional sense of well being. The materials are a two-tone mix ofFior di Bosco marble and black stone from Zimbabwe, giving depth and asense of pleasurable opulence, further accentuated by brushed brass.

In the public spaces, sharing, family, and relaxation are brought to newheights. A mix of genres at Le Bar de L’Apogée, “gives the impression ofgoing into someone’s home to have a good time,” notes Joseph Dirand. Mean-while, at Le Comptoir de L’Apogée, a contemporary brasserie, two grandstaircases frame the dramatic main restaurant with a terrace and a full wall

of window overlooking the pristine ski slopes. A ham aging cellar is the cen-trepiece stage for aged hams that are served alongside cheeses sourced fromartisan producers and matured on site by the restaurant’s own affineurs.And, to toast a fantastic day on the slopes, La Champagne Lounge workswith select Champagne houses for an original menu with a few surprisingappellations, as chosen by Head Sommelier Géraud Tournier. A light menufurthermore reinforces sportsmen and women, with delightful and deli-cious temptations that include hot dogs with Périgord truffle and a clubsandwich with foie gras.

The 600 kilometres across a network of 172 ski lifts within the Three Valleysregion – offering world-class alpine and off-piste skiing as a veritable skiersdream – may make for a little weariness at the end of the day. There is theregal mosaic pool, and six treatment rooms in the Spa with a hairdressingsalon, steam room sauna and salt cave as well as the Baniya Suite which con-trasts a heated cabin with iced plunge pools. Adults relax while childrenhave unlimited play opportunities, including fun and engaging Kids Clubswith respective play and socialising spaces: the Mini VIP 1850 for ages fourto 10, and Free Style 1850 for teens ages 11 to 15.

Courchevel 1850 is the first ski area in France to be constructed “fromscratch” rather than based around an existing village. L’Apogée Courchevel,within Le Jardin Alpin, has also been constructed in a way that is entirelytailored to the environment, the shape of the mountain. This highly con-temporary aspect nevertheless lends a sense of instant ease to guests, as if itis already of iconic stature and is a true tradition in the making.

ART & STYLE

Model, muse, war photographer and creative free spirit – Lee Miller lived inthe heart of her times. The Monacelli Press publishes in 2013 ‘Lee Miller inFashion’, a book of her stunning archival fashion photographs, written byYale University historian Becky E. Conekin. Born in 1907, at age 19, LeeMiller was stopped on a Manhattan street by Vogue founder Condé Nast,who launched her modelling career by putting her on the magazine’s coverin 1927. For the next two years, she was a highly sought after model in NewYork, photographed by the likes of Edward Steichen. She moved to Paris andbecame the pupil, lover and muse to Surrealist artist Man Ray, also makingthe abrupt decision to turn to the other side of the lens. She joined the wareffort during the Second World War, documenting everything from theLondon Blitz, to the liberation of concentration camps. In 1940, she startedworking for British Vogue, becoming its most prolific contributor.

Anna-Patricia Kahn, Director of °CLair Gallery – founded in Munich in2008 with a sister space in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Côte d’Azur, opened in 2011– is the sole representative of the Lee Miller Estate in France and Germany.“Lee Miller was an artist, full-stop,” notes Kahn. “Yes, photojournalism washer job, but she worked across genres, as one person, as a photographer, andsimultaneously. Some audiences may see photojournalism and fine art asseparate, but the distinction is a finer line than we may think. Lee Millerwas beautiful, as much as she was profound and intense, and this is reflectedin her photographic style.” From photojournalistic objectivism to surreal-ism, a wide and fascinating selection of prints of the photographer can beviewed at the gallery by appointment. Some of Lee Miller’s portraits ofartists, such as that of Picasso taken on the Côte d’Azur, are the most power-ful portraits of the individuals ever produced. “There is something abouther portraits which are intimate, and yet never intrusive,” explains Kahn.

For those with an interest in starting a photography collection, Anna-Pa-tricia Kahn is an excellent contact. “My portfolio-building service is a wayof creating a collection where your own desires and character are mirroredin the works we choose together. In selling photography, I allow a buyer tolearn something about himself of which he was previously unaware. It is afinancial, intellectual, and emotional investment.” The context of the Côted’Azur is also an excellent place. “The light on the Côte d’Azur was alwaysinteresting to painters, but we sometimes forget that it was interesting tophotographers, too. It is always changing, it is as tender as it is powerful, andone notices the shadows and details. The warmth imbued by the Mediter-ranean light to both objects and people gives an aura that is exceptional.”

RENEWVilla Stéphanie at Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa

RELAX

The lush promenade Lichtentaler Allee truly recalls another age, an ancientresource to health. The Russian poet Ivan Turgenev once wrote to Frenchnovelist Gustave Flaubert: “Baden-Baden has the most marvellous trees Ihave ever seen…” The air is fresh, the climate mild, and fragrant pines coverover sixty percent of the area. Set within Germany’s verdant Black Forestsitting atop twenty-three hot springs (hence the name ‘Bath-Bath’), Baden-Baden has lured visitors in search of renewal since the time of the Romanbaths. Now, the historic Villa Stéphanie adjacent to the main property ofBrenners Park-Hotel & Spa along the Lichtentaler Allee will host perhapsthe most comprehensive and modern Spa worldwide. Scheduled to openSpring 2014, it will provide an integrated approach to health in a rare com-bination of beauty, wellbeing, detox and emotional care also coupled withextensive facilities for medical needs. It will offer the best of Western medi-cine in the context of an intelligent, holistic understanding of health.

Before it was taken over by Anton Alois Brenner in 1872, in the mid-1820s amaster carpenter Lorenz Barth installed on the riverbank of the Oos, oppo-site the Lichtentaler Allee, a “kaltes und warmes Flußbad” (cold and warmriver bath), calling it Stephanienbad. This resulted in the founding of theBrenners hotel tradition. Since members of royal families around the turnof the century preferred not to be housed in the same quarters as bourgeoisguests, Brenner’s son Camille built two hotel-annexes, Villa Stéphanie in1890 and the Imperial Villa in 1895. This name Stéphanie bears witness to awoman whose presence is deeply interwoven within the history of Baden-Baden: Stéphanie de Beauharnais, Grand Duchess of Baden, wife of GrandDuke Karl and Lady of State from 1811 to 1818; she was also the adoptivedaughter of Napoleon I. Despite war and eventful history, continued ow-nership has always allowed Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa to remain a magnetfor international society, those seeking the comfort of modernity in thepeace of the countryside. In 1977, the Schwarzwaldklinik, or Black ForestClinic, opened within the Villa Stéphanie. While in 1997, the clinic’s inter-nal medicine division closed, in 2000 ‘Stéphanie les Bains’ opened as a pri-vate clinic for internal medicine, physical and rehabilitative medicine andnaturopathy. In 2002, the inpatient unit closed in favour of an approach directed towards preventative medicine. This has paved the way for today,and tomorrow. In Spring 2014, the opening of Villa Stéphanie will unveilthe most comprehensive renovation project of the last 20 years in what willbe one of the finest destination Spas in Europe.

“The colours will be fresh, the room furnishings distinct, the wooden pa-nelling light, the atmosphere young and the art modern,” notes CountessDouglas, who is overseeing the design. Villa Stéphanie will comprise overfive floors with a 500-square metre sauna, kneipping baths, plunge pool forrecovery, private fitness centre, physio and spinal treatments, hammam, aLadies’ Spa, private park and sunken garden. Villa Stéphanie also will beconnected to ‘Haus Julius’, a 1700-square metre property dedicated solely toBrenners Medical Care offering a variety of services from top experts indermatology, gynaecology, ophthalmology, dentistry, GP, cardiology, psy-chology, physiotherapy and nutritional coaching. Stay tuned for more onthese superb facilities in an environment that defines healthcare and the ul-timate resource for wellbeing, from Roman times and into the 21st century.

PASSION

PERSPECTIVEThe extraordinary within the ordinary

The 72-year-old Korean enigma that is Ahae has lived many lives. He is anartist trained in drawing, painting, sculpture and mask making. He is a mar-tial arts expert, holding the seventh degree black belt in Taekwondo. He is aninventor, having registered over one thousand patents for products thatrange from household goods to boats. He is an entrepreneur who foundedhis first company aged thirty-five. He is also a conservationist who practicesorganic farming and has always sought to protect the environment. And, asa 2013 exhibition ‘The Extraordinary Within the Ordinary’ at the VersaillesPalace in France and a book published also this year by Assouline entitled‘Ahae: Through My Window’ both duly attest, he is a photographer withequally piercing vision, voice and ambition.

The prolific Korean photographer Ahae captures the natural environmentas seen from the same window at his home, located in a disused aircraft han-ger an hour’s drive from Seoul. The images of his garden, its birds, ponds,

deer, the sun and the moon created by Ahae can be viewed as both art and asa warning about global warming. The message about conservationism isclear and is particularly evident in the images that show the change of sea-sons, with winter and summer in Korea becoming longer in recent years.

Taken over four years and never missing a day, Ahae took 2.6 million images,of which only 220 were exhibited with technical feat, being the largestprints ever made on a single piece of paper. Highly conscious of shootingonly reality, he works with no tripod, no artificial lighting and not even airconditioning. The result is what Ahae describes as an “organic” image – yetanother environmentally minded invention from the enigma of Ahae. Thefamously reclusive Ahae refuses to be interviewed by the press or even toattend his own exhibitions. Ahae’s son and manager of his exhibitions, KeithYoo, offers the only explanation of his work, describing it as, “a silent warn-ing about global warming and our mentality.”

The ultimate reference for connoisseurs from around the world.
