- The Wolfsonian–FIU Presents: 'What's on The Menu: Dinner and a Show'
Leisure dining flourished from the 1920s onward, not only on land, but also at sea and in the air, a result of rising incomes among an increasingly urban and mobile population. Restaurants in popular tourist destinations and in the trains, ships, and airplanes that carried travelers seized on advances in printing, designing an array of souvenirs and other cheaply produced takeaways touting exclusivity, ethnic cuisine, or a view of exciting corners of the world. What's on the Menu: Destination Dining explores such ephemera, including decorative menus and other items from ocean liner restaurants, railroad dining cars, in-flight dinner services, and hotels and eateries in cities like New York, New Orleans, and Miami Beach. This installation is inspired by a recent promised gift from Vicki Gold Levi and presented in connection with What's on the Menu: Dinner and a Show. By ML Staff. Courtesy of The Wolfsonian–FIU
- Louis Vuitton Presents “Le Monde Est À Vous”, The Spring-Summer 2025 Men’s Collection by Pharrell Williams
Pharrell Williams brought together Louis Vuitton’s international community of LVERS at UNESCO headquarters in Paris. Against the backdrop of the symbolic globe surrounded by the flags of the world, the Maison’s spirit of travel is celebrated as a source of connection across humanity, manifested in the models who walked the runway. For this new collection, the Men’s Creative Director imagined humanity from a solar perspective, zooming out on the Earth. The palette reflects the nuances of skin tones of all the humans on the planet. Second-skin garments feature textile innovations to pose as animal hides. Damoflage, the splicing of Damier and camouflage, is adapted into a Snake-o-Flage motif inspired by python graphics. The Map-o-Flage motif inspired by cartographic imagery evokes imminent departures. The archetype of the traveler imbues the silhouettes. The pilot becomes a flying dandy, inspiring cropped tailored jackets and bombers. Double-breasted coats and suits reference the elegance of the diplomat. Expertly crafted details of embroideries and buttons are amplified in formalwear for globetrotting secret agents. The refined cut of tracksuits creates exquisite comfort for the leisure traveler. The explorer inspires sophisticated interpretations of sportswear, and garments in the image of football pay homage to the world’s most unifying game. The Louis Vuitton Studio Prêt-à-Porter collaborated with the creative collective Air Afrique on graphics and patterns, including a Damier-infused tartan. Accessories feature sunglasses such as the LV Passport and jewels fit for explorers, like gilded compass brooches. A new line of Soft Leather Goods accompanied the silhouettes in the collection, all adorned with metal plate charms inspired by archival trunk tags. Bags are as luxurious as they are practical, ready for a world tour to connect with others. ML Staff. Content/image(s) courtesy of LVMH

- Jaeger-LeCoultre Unveils Exquisite Art Deco-Inspired Reverso One ‘Precious Flowers’ Collection for 2024
Immediately recognizable by its swivelling, rectangular case, the Reverso is iconic in watchmaking – able to be worn with either of its two sides facing outwards. On the monoface models, the blank pink gold 750/1000 (18 carats) case-back naturally offers itself as a canvas for artistic expression, inviting the artisans of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Métiers Rares™ atelier to exhibit their exceptional skills in the decorative crafts and jewellery techniques. In 2021, the Maison introduced the sparkling Reverso One ‘Precious Flowers’ series, uniting the codes of fine watchmaking, artistic crafts and High Jewellery. For 2024, La Grande Maison enriches the collection with three new models in pink gold, that bring fresh color, sophistication and glamour to the collection. Offered in a limited edition of 10 pieces each, these exquisite timepieces unite the artistic crafts of enamelling, gold-leaf paillonnage and gem-setting. Art Deco inspiration expressed through vivid colour Inspired by the design of the Reverso, which was created in 1931 at the height of the Art Deco period, the three new pieces celebrate the exuberant spirit of Tropical Art Deco. Enjoying its heyday during the 1930s, it is characterised by the sleek lines of Streamline Modern architecture set against a backdrop of lush vegetation and vividly coloured flowers. Abundant examples of the original style still survive in cities from Singapore to Cuba to Mumbai and, most famously, Miami. A complex dance of artistry and craft to create objects of rare beauty The restrained elegance of the Reverso One dial design is a perfect foil for the rich and colourful decoration of the cases: on a background of white mother-of-pearl, gold brackets define the four corners of the dial, creating a frame within which the numerals, in the signature Reverso One font, are set. Grain-set diamonds decorate the gadroons and lugs and the winding crown is adorned with a reverse-set diamond. The new designs give full rein to the artistry and diverse skills of the Métiers Rares™ atelier, with several artisans collaborating in a carefully orchestrated process over the course of many weeks and months. The floral designs wrap seamlessly around the case-sides, from the back to the bezel, involving curves and angles that add a high degree of complexity to the artisans’ work. Champlevé (which literally means ‘raised field’) is one of the oldest decorative enamelling techniques. To begin with, sections of the flat metal surface of the case are hollowed out to leave an outline of the desired motif. The enameller then begins painting the details and tonal nuances of the design into the remaining wells and troughs with enamel, one layer at a time – in varying combinations of transparent and opaque enamels to achieve the desired effect. Research into the colours – a long process of trial and error because of the way that enamel pigments react at high temperatures – took more than 50 hours, before the work could even begin. These new ‘Precious Flowers’ designs further elevate the craft of enamelling by combining it with paillonnage. Tiny pieces of 24-carat gold leaf are cut to the exact shape and size of the pattern to be filled in. After a clear layer of fondant enamel has been completed, the enameller takes these tiny fragments and fixes them into place, modelling them to fit the desired space perfectly. Only then can the process of working with the coloured enamel begin. The cases require 10 or more firings, each one building the intensity and depth of colour. Grand Feu enamelling requires many years of experience as well as great technical skill because the outcome is unpredictable: firing at temperatures up to 800º Centigrade changes the chemistry of some pigments and only with many years of experience can an enameller predict whether the final colours will be as desired. While every firing increases the beauty of the piece it also increases the risk: the enamel may bubble or crack; it may burn and shrink; or the metal base may warp. On designs with diamond-set backgrounds, the gem-setting can begin only after the enamel work is completed, adding to the delicacy and complexity of the task. Indeed, combining enamelling and gem-setting is a delicate dance between the artisans: while firing hardens the gold, the gem-setter requires soft metal, so the challenge is to find the ideal balance. At any point during enamelling or gem-setting, the slightest mistake could destroy countless hours of work. These are process that cannot be rushed and that is what makes these decorative crafts so intriguing, going a long way to explaining why they are so highly prized. Three new models celebrating the beauty of tropical flowers Birds of Paradise – which symbolises freedom and joy in the language of flowers – captures the brilliant colouring and strongly geometric shape of the eponymous flower in a new twist on traditional Grand Feu champlevé enamelling. Once the first step is completed – hollowing the outline of the design from the flat gold surface of the case-back – tiny pieces of 24-carat gold leaf are cut to exact shape and size of certain sections of the flower then painstakingly fixed into place. This gold leaf underlay lends texture and exceptional brilliance to the orange and golden tones. Then the enameller begins the delicate process of applying the 19 different colours of enamel pigment, painting it to create nuances of tone and an impression of volume. As many as nine layers of enamel are applied, requiring 60 hours of work. The rich colours of the flowers and leaves are complemented by the sparkle of snow-set diamonds that form the background. A challenging technique, snow-setting uses stones of nine different sizes and the setter must, in effect, work “freehand”, choosing and placing the stones so that not even a millimetre of the metal surface remains – the objective being to create a seamless expanse of sparkle. The Birds of Paradise timepiece is set with approximately 331 diamonds for a total of 1.64 carats – 65 hours of gem-setting work – and is fastened to the wrist with a strap in shiny green alligator leather, custom-dyed to perfectly match the green leaves. Reverso One ‘Precious Flowers’ Birds of Paradise represents a total of 125 hours of Métiers RaresTM work. Hibiscus Enamel showcases the quintessential tropical flower – which symbolises beauty and wisdom – reinterpreting it in colours reminiscent of a sun-kissed lagoon. For the first time on a Métiers Rares™ Reverso One, the entire background is Grand Feu enamel, wrapping around the convex case-sides to frame the dial. The delicately drawn flowers and foliage are Grand Feu champlevé enamel – their nuanced details requiring 12 colours of enamel, applied in nine layers. Harnessing the meticulous craft of paillonnage, the golden stamens are highlighted with tiny pieces of 24-carat gold leaf set beneath the enamel. The beautiful tones of blue and green enamel are enhanced by the sparkle of diamond-set gadroons and lugs – a total of approximately 157 diamonds for 1.25 carats. Together, the 50 hours of enamelling and 22 hours of gem-setting represent a total of 72 hours of decorative craft work. The shiny blue alligator leather strap was custom-dyed to perfectly complement the tones of the flowers. Hibiscus Diamonds unites the crafts of enamelling, paillonnage and diamond-setting in a sparkling rendition of the exotic hibiscus flower. The subject of 12 trials of colour research to achieve the desired shades and subtle graduation, the blue flowers were created in Grand Feu champlevé enamel, requiring 30 hours of work. The stamens of the flowers are highlighted with 24-carat gold leaf set beneath the enamel and, as on the Birds of Paradise watch, a background of snow-set diamonds creates a brilliant contrast with the richly coloured flowers and leaves. Together with the grain-set diamonds on the gadroons and lugs – a total of approximately 523 diamonds for 2.02 carats – the gem-setting represents 120 hours of work. The Reverso One ‘Precious Flowers’ Hibiscus Diamonds requires 150 hours of Métiers RaresTM craftsmanship in total. These pieces, created by the hands of exceptionally talented artisans, are indeed precious jewels and, naturally, they merit fine mechanisms. As testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s mastery of technical watchmaking, the new Reverso One ‘Precious Flowers’ timepieces are fitted with the hand-wound Calibre 846. To be made in an edition of just 10 pieces of each design, every one of these miniature works of art is subtly different – their fine detailing and nuanced colour palettes the product of each artisan’s particular gestures, expressing their passion and personality, as well as their remarkable skill.

- Understanding Heatstroke in Horses: Prevention, Symptoms, and Critical Guidelines
Heatstroke is a potentially deadly condition that can come on suddenly with little warning. Heatstroke occurs when heat production outpaces heat loss. A horse's normal temperature is 100 to 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures beyond 103.5 challenge their metabolic processes. Beyond 105 degrees, horses may show signs of subtle incoordination or lack precision and regularity in their paces. The horse may be fretful and irritable, less attentive and sluggish in its work. If its temperature stays over 105 for longer than a few minutes, the horse's sweating mechanism starts to shut down, and it loses interest in eating and drinking. All that internal heat dulls its brain's cognitive functions, leading to disorientation. If the temperature is not brought down within five to 10 minutes, or if it rises to 108 or beyond, the horse likely will collapse, suffer convulsions and die. At temperatures over 111.2 degrees, tissues can literally break down. Heat production even during gentle exercise can increase by 10 to 20 times over resting values. Sprinting results in an increase of 40 to 50 times over resting values. At work levels of 150 heartbeats per minute, a horse's temperature will go up 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit every three minutes. Working your horses in a steamy climate significantly increases their susceptibility to heatstroke. High humidity compromises the evaporative process because up to two-thirds of the heat-releasing sweat will roll off of the horse's body before it can evaporate and cool the horse. This means efficient sweating is not always synonymous with efficient cooling. The following rule of thumb has been devised as a guide. If the sum of the temperature and humidity is:· Less than 130 - no problem;· Greater than 150 - use caution, especially if the humidity is greater than half of the total;· Greater than 180 - use extreme caution, since normal cooling is almost ineffectual and horses may resort to panting.
