Editor in Chief Jacqueline Terrebonne Presents the Seventh Annual Creative Minds Issue

I felt that zing of electricity the first time I walked into jewelry and fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s enchanting outpost in Manhattan. The lavish decor transports one straight to India, while every garment and bijou honors his country’s history of craft. In a similar way, Daniel Valero of Mestiz celebrates Mexican traditions in his work, which ranges from fantastical installations to colorful ceramics. Equally amazing are the floral arrangements of Ariel Dearie and the soulful culinary wonders of Vania Ghedini. These four are just a handful of the innovators from the worlds of art, design, fragrance, and more being recognized.

Beyond Creative Minds, we also spotlight the most exciting cultural happenings this season. There’s the reopening of The Frick Collection, the debut of Loewe’s teapot collaborations during Salone del Mobile in Milan, and artist Iván Argote’s show with Perrotin New York.

As always, we showcase extraordinary art-filled homes, including a punchy penthouse in South Florida designed by Andrew Torrey, featured on the cover, and a more subdued yet spectacularly layered Los Angeles estate orchestrated by Magni Kalman Design. Both studios have must-read books out this spring, and I’m proud to share that I collaborated on writing the latter’s tome. I just know you’ll find something—and possibly many things—inside to fuel your imagination. As for me, I’ll be heading to Park Avenue as soon as the weather warms to see Creative Minds sculptor Alma Allen’s work enlivening the thoroughfare.
