LUXURY MAGAZINE® UNVEILS ITS FALL 2019 ISSUE
< Latest NewsCelebrating World Cuisine, Art & Design
LUXURY MAGAZINE, the quarterly publication available exclusively to Luxury Card™ members, unveiled its Fall 2019 issue today: celebrating design, arts, and the culture of food across the globe. The premium publication offers trends and features across all categories of luxury lifestyle—from travel, adventure, and fashion to home design, real estate, and technology. Each issue also features as the cover art a well-known or up-and-coming artist, making every edition a unique collector’s item for our Cardmembers.
“Eating good food with friends and family, whether in a restaurant of the moment in a haute hotel or by a street food vendor in a bustling city, is the staple of cultures around the world,” says Editor-in-Chief Deborah Frank, “It’s as important to a society’s identity as art and design is to its character. Exploring cities and countries through their food, museums, and architecture are what makes travel that much more exciting.”
Highlights from the Fall issue include:
Cover Artist: Joan Miró
Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist Joan Miró, who earned international acclaim for his contributions to the arts, adorns the cover of our Fall issue with his 1969 Fissures, plate 12. Instantly recognizable, his signature “random” drawing attempts to express the inner workings of the human psyche. Miró used color and form in a symbolic rather than literal manner, rejecting the constraints of traditional painting and famously stating “I want to assassinate painting.” Miró’s influence and legacy are now honored at the Miró family farm in Mont-roig del Camp, known as Mas Miró, whose landscapes inspired the artist—worth the drive from Barcelona.
Luxury Shopping Destinations
Catering to high-end clientele, traditional retailers are creating intimate, convenient shopping destinations that deliver a mix of home, wellness, fashion, fitness, high-end restaurants and unique experiences. In “Shop ‘Til You Drop,” our editors take a close look at three small-scale retail centers that strike the balance between commerce and community. Highland Park Village in Dallas, The Royal Poinciana Plaza in Palm Beach, and Palisades Village in Los Angeles offer curated selections and convenience for their affluent shoppers, as well as outdoor fitness classes, children’s programs, and music series.
Culinary-Driven Adventures
Personalized, custom culinary experiences are in demand. “Scavenger Hunts” offers a global review of high-end resorts that cater to relaxation while participating in the culinary process. Forge for wild mussel with the resort’s chef, free dive while spearing lionfish with the resort’s captain, or foster a knowledge of edibles in the resort’s mushroom- and herb-hunting program, to name a few.
