The century-old Italian brand has moved with the times, introducing wholly organic products and planning much more for Miami’s health-conscious consumers. A brand of premium yet affordable olive oil, built on more than a century of tradition, Carapelli is enjoyed by consumers around the world. Found in homes across Miami, it’s trusted for the high quality and great taste to which Carapelli has always been unwaveringly committed. These are the attributes that have made Carapelli the number one brand of premium extra virgin olive oil in the world. The brand is equally proud of its history, having celebrated its 125th anniversary last year. The intervening years have witnessed its rise from the nourishing soil of Tuscany to global acclaim for its multi-award-winning array of fine products.  The bottle Carapelli comes in is nothing short of a work of art, designed to be admired while perched on kitchen counters and dining tables, the oil waiting to be drizzled tantalizingly over salads and meats or used as a delicious dip for bread and as a general condiment guaranteed to enhance flavor. In response to increasing demand for organic food, particularly in the United States, Carapelli created Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, made from 100%-organic extra virgin olive oils and imbued with characterful flavors and aromas. Newlyweds Cesira and Costantino Carapelli founded the brand as a home business in Florence, Italy, in 1893, investing her dowry in a factory and oil mill. Word of its great taste and quality spread, and by the 1940s Carapelli was the most modern food company in Italy.  Crafted in the heart of Tuscany to this day, Carapelli continues making the best range of extra virgin olive oils by combining time-tested knowledge with contemporary ideas. “At Carapelli, making olive oil is not just a process, but an art form,” says Miguel de Jaime. “And, to ensure unmatched quality and flavor, it all comes down to the olives selected at the optimal harvest time by an olive master and treated with the utmost care to ensure that the resulting oils have the most incredible flavor profiles.” The brand, which earned eight honors in 2018 alone for outstanding olive oils, including at prestigious competitions in Paris, London, New York, and Japan, credits its century of success to age-old wisdom as well as a readiness to evolve constantly to meet the needs of its consumers.  An example of the latter is the iconic striped bottle, whose aesthetic design was inspired by the olive oil’s Tuscan origins but whose practical benefits include the easier grip on the ribbed glass, an anti-drip spout, a hermetically-sealed cap that better conserves the oil, and the dark glass that shields the contents from UV radiation. “We are humbled to see how our historic brand Carapelli is recognized and embraced by consumers around the world,” says Miguel de Jaime. “This is truly an artisan product that we trust will be delighting fans for another 125 years to come.

The streets of Miami are alive with vibrancy, glamour, and an almost electric enthusiasm. In seemingly every layer of life, there’s a reflection of boldness, and that includes how we style our hair as well. Whether we’re ramping up for a day in the sun or a night in the town, that full, voluminous look — befitting of Miami’s unmistakable flair — is a must. Pulling off those show-stopping styles all begins with the right approach, a great volume shampoo , like Amika’s. A volume shampoo isn’t just cleaning your hair, it's also giving it new life. For anyone who wants to match the intensity of their locks with the same intensity in their lifestyle, this should be an essential part of your routine in order to unlock those great looks! Taming The Challenges Of Miami’s Climate Living in a place with such a level of humidity can present some unwanted challenges, especially for anyone with flat hair. Having that much moisture in the air can ultimately bring down any style, and can leave even the most voluminous style feeling a little deflated. Opting for a shampoo formula with gentle, harnessing ingredients can draw excess moisture from your hair and help to keep it looking as light and buoyant as it did when walking out of the house. The Miami Aesthetic: Hair That Speaks Volumes In a city that embraces big statement hair as much as Miami does, your main accessory is the source of your volume. From big, textured beach waves, to strong, full-volume locks, the iconic Miami style requires look versatility and impact. During the day, you can use all that lift from your volume shampoo as a nice addition to your natural texture. Just scrunch the hair gently with your hands to help enhance the wave. At night, turn it up a notch with some heat styling, achieving high volume, and then some with hairsprays and texturizers. Just be sure to keep your hair structured. The Importance Of A Consistent Hair Care Routine Looks as grand as the city of Miami—they take a great deal of time and care. This is especially true for looks that dare to make volume the focal point, which means that an ideal shampoo for volume is the main part of the plan. Conditioner is optional, but if you use it, make sure it is always sparingly applied to the shaft and ends. The same goes for other styling products, which should volumize without causing dullness or damage. If using heat-styling tools, always spritz a heat protectant to keep the sun (and your hair) at bay. In this way, all these elements work together, in harmony. Hair becomes manageable and full of life, suitable for an exciting town that doesn’t slow down. Empowering Hair With Every Wash The right volume shampoo gives more than just lift; it changes the way you and your hair connect. Formulas that create volume are often incredibly multitasking, formulated with added benefits that fortify hair with strengthening nutrients and moisturizing components that collectively improve hair health. This double-duty approach—that is, creating volume while improving health—guarantees that not only does your hair look great, but it feels healthier, stronger, and more durable over time. A volume shampoo also creates space for ease in your styling routine, allowing you to reach the style elevation you desire at home. It creates a shape from the roots to the ends that becomes the basis for all of your favorite polished or loose looks, day after day. Defining Confidence With Bold Hair In Miami, every style tells a tale. Hair that has bounce and movement conveys a sense of confidence and originality that resonates with the culture in the city. A good shampoo for volume isn’t just about what it does for your hair; it’s about how it makes you feel. Feeling confident that your hair looks good despite the most extreme circumstances gives you a little extra poise and power. Achieving bold, Miami hair starts with making the right selections for creating the styles you love, and opting for the right volume shampoo is the first decision from which everything else begins. Whether you're looking for casual and effortless looks or high-fashion ones, no style is complete without full, lifted hair. By ML Staff. Image courtesy of Amika

ICA Miami presents the first U.S. museum exhibition of Los Angeles–based painter Lucy Bull (b. 1990, New York), “Lucy Bull: The Garden of Forking Paths.” A singular voice in contemporary abstract painting, Bull’s dynamic practice explores the formal and experiential concerns of the medium. Through a dynamic application of paint, Bull choreographs energetic gestures into eruptive fields of pictorial activity. In her works, exuberant colors and elusive forms, reference and atmosphere, density and transparency are in constant tension. Bull’s works sit at the edge of language. In them, the macroscopic and the microscopic tend to swap places, as landscapes often morph into depictions of internal psychic spaces. Worlds congeal momentarily in her paintings, only to surrender again to a dynamic of constant transformation. Bull’s works are enlivened by modulating emotional temperatures and by the courting of far-reaching associations. Ultimately, they push viewers’ awareness of looking to the forefront: optical overload and disruptive dissonance move typical perception into a hypersensitive mode. “Lucy Bull: The Garden of Forking Paths” includes sixteen paintings produced between 2019 and 2024. Among these are recent large-scale horizontal works that stretch over ten feet across. These expansive works inaugurate a new field of exploration for the artist and are brought together for the first time here. Alongside these, the exhibition includes a number of vertical paintings that continue the artist’s pictorial research over the last decade. In parallel to the exhibition, Bull will create the next stairwell commission at ICA Miami, which will be on view through September 2025. Bull has been the subject of solo and two-person exhibitions at David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles (2024), The Warehouse, Dallas (2023); Long Museum West Bund, Shanghai (2023); David Kordansky Gallery, New York (2022), Pond Society, Shanghai (with Guo Fengyi, 2021); David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles (2021), High Art (Arles, 2020; Paris, 2019); Human Resources, Los Angeles (2019); Smart Objects, Los Angeles (2019); and RMS Queen Mary, Mother Culture, Long Beach, California (2017). Recent group exhibitions include “13 Women: Variation I,” Orange County Museum of Art, Costa Mesa, California (2022); “Abstract Vocabularies: Selections from the Collection,” Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (2021); and “Present Generations: Creating the Scantland Collection of the Columbus Museum of Art,” Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio (2021). Her work is in the permanent collections of Baltimore Museum of Art; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; MAMCO, Geneva; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Long Museum West Bund, Shanghai; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; and Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, among other institutions.

Ding Shilun, Smile Reveal, 2024. Courtesy of the artist and Bernheim Gallery. “Ding Shilun: Janus” debuts a group of newly commissioned paintings and a site-specific installation in the artist’s first solo US museum exhibition. Shilun’s ethereal and at times ominous works feature idiosyncratic mythologies inspired by his everyday life. Each painting acts as an individual vignette, depicting self-contained and often ambiguous scenes that utilize figuration to convey rousing emotion and simple anecdotes rather than elaborate narratives. The artist refers to this storytelling as a “personal fable”; the protagonists of his paintings are avatars of the artist, which he refers to as “projections and embodiments of my inner self, reflecting my confusion living across different cultures and ideologies, as well as my desire to construct my own reality.” The show takes its title, “Janus,” from the Roman god of beginnings and endings, chosen by the artist to evoke this paradox in his works. Shilun’s paintings draw from a wide range of reference images, traditions, and techniques. The works’ pageantry as well as their supernatural and satirical themes are influenced by Nuo opera—performances from the Chinese folk religion Nuoism––as well as by prominent collections of Chinese folklore and the celebrated prints of Francisco Goya, such as the series Los caprichos (The Caprices, 1797–98). To mimic the water-based pigments of traditional Chinese gongbi painting, Shilun applies numerous thin layers of diluted oil paint. This delicate method belies the volatile iconography of his works, evoking the contradictions and frictions of day-to-day life. Ding Shilun (b. 1998, Guangzhou, China) graduated with an MA in painting from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2022, and earned a BA in painting from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, China, in 2020. He has participated in solo exhibitions at the Zabludowicz Collection, London, and the Guangdong Museum, Guangzhou, China. Shilun’s work is in the collections of ICA Miami; High Museum of Art, Atlanta; Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth; Dallas Museum of Art; Albertina Museum, Vienna; and the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, Kansas; among others.
