A Tuscan hotel in a former 16th -century college
When the Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi completed the Duomo axis in Florence, Italy in 1436, it was a achievement of engineering that reformed the city’s horizon. (It is still the largest brick dome.) From the surrounding hills, its red peak seems to be hovering over a sea of terra-countta roofs. Visitors to Collegio Alla Querce, the first Auberge Resorts Collection Hotel in Italy, will have this advantage from a former 16th -century college that climbs to the edge of Tuscany’s countryside. Designed in collaboration with the Florence -based Studio Archflorence, the interiors pay tribute to both the building’s school past and its idyllic rural environment. The hotel’s restaurant, La Gamella-a sophisticated trattoria named by the tin boxes that was once transported by Florence students-occupy the former College dining room, which in the 16th century was an outdoor citrus garden. For Aperitivi and Nightcaps, there is Bar Bertelli, dedicated to a former science teacher whose organs are still on the spot. In some rooms and suites that have not already been decorated with original frescoes, the walls were painted with sweeping landscapes, the cloudy greens and their Ecrus a nod to the bucolic frescoes of the pommeal villes. Kemper Hyers, the creative director of Auberge Resort Collections, assigned customs furniture for the 83 rooms and suites from Paolo Castelli in Milan along with the ceramics of Studio Ceramico Giusti, which he discovered in the weekly market at Piazza Santo Spirito walk down below from the hill. The Collegio Alla Querce opens on March 2. Of about $ 1,600 per night, aubergeresorts.com.

Celebrating the art of Leigh Bowery in Tate Modern in London
The performance artist Leigh Bowery packages a lot in his short life before dying in 1994 from AIDS -related complications: he was a fashion designer, music director for music videos, frontman of a offender pop band called Minty and a model for painter Lucian Freud. He reversed the easy categorization once observing: “If you highlight me, you call me.” Born in a suburban sleepiness in Melbourne, Australia, Bowery moved to London in 1980 at 19 and proceeded to discover himself at the Underground Queer Club Circuit, especially in Taboo, the famous nightclub he founded. Using a series of masks, bonding tools, wigs and platforms of the sky that further increase the 6-foot-3-foot frame, pushed the boundaries of transformation-and the rules of the season-through clothes and makeup. Thirty years after his death, his influence can be seen everywhere from the anarchist aesthetics of designers such as Rick Owens and Charles Jeffrey in the subversive costumes worn by Lady Gaga. This month opens a new look at Tate Modern in London. In a series of themed rooms – the house, the club, the stage and the gallery – the show explores the art, life and heritage of Bowery through painting, photographs, films and interviews with many of his collaborators, including the artist Cerith Wyn Evans, The Drag Queen Lady Bunny, Dj Princess Julia and the musician Boy George. “Leigh Bowery!” will be in view of Tate Modern, London, from February 27 to August 31, tate.org.uk.
Berlin’s Clärchens Ballhaus was built in 1913, at a time when the city had over 900 dance rooms. Now it is one of the few left, and during the decades there has been a favorite institution, hosting tango lessons every week in its mirror room. But he was underwater in ruins, says Berlin -born businessman Yoram Roth: “The main dance hall had only one socket and heated by two carbon ovens.” In 2018, Roth – who also holds Fotografiska, a group of modern photography museums, and The Neuehouse collaboration venues in New York and La-loving Clärchens and began planning a renovation. “Berliners never want to change anything,” he says. “I knew that I had to completely repeat the infrastructure, but I still make sure it looked like it did 112 years ago.” Keep Tango (along with other types of dance teaching) and hired Uli Hanisch, the designer for the Neo-Noir TV series “Babylon Berlin”, who carefully enhanced the aesthetics of CLärchens ‘Faded’ 20s. Roth then brought German chef Tobias Beck to open the Luna d’Oro restaurant -friendly restaurant, his name from one of the Ballhaus teachers. “Tobias understands German cuisine, but has a sense of humor,” says Roth, who recommends the tartar iGel, a classic beef tartare in the form of a hedgehog with spines made of fine onion mud.

Skin care that draws rice benefits
One of the first beauty tips my mother shared was that I had to wash my face with rice water, the milky fluid left behind after washing beans before cooking. He was sworn in with the glittering and softness and, all these years later, I do. Rice has long been respected in skin care, a tradition that is reflected in the luxurious Amans hotel team in Aman. The collection of six products incorporates the ancient purple rice bran extract, which is celebrated for its antioxidant properties and collagen enhancement capabilities, along with Indigo extract, a botanical preferred by Samurai for its therapeutic benefits. My go-to is the illuminated eye cream, injected by fermentation and rice peptides, which illuminate and rejuvenate the area under the eyes. Damdam Tokyo, founded by Giselle Go and Philippe Terrien in 2019, presents Rice along with other Japanese ingredients such as Shiso and Konnyaku, a Japanese root used for detoxification. The company’s silk rice cleansing oil, which removes makeup and dirt, features Japanese Komenuka, a sticky rice with anti -inflammatory properties. The name Beauty Beauty Brand Tatcha, recently available in replay jars, pairs of Japanese purple rice with botanical extracts that attract moisture to plump and hydrate. The Korean beauty brand of the Dohwa Signature ingredient is a domestic rice harvest from the city of Icheon. The Seoul -based company makes a rice leaf mask that also contains the Houttuynia Cordata (a flowering factory) and the Mugwort Korean extract, both of which soothe the skin. Other K-Beauty products, which I have discovered in Soko Glam, an electronic retailer specializing in Korean skin care, is I’m Rice Toner, which helps eliminate dead skin and final nutritional rice to be used as the last step of your routine.
