GB ARCHITECTURE - Gilded Legacy - OHEKA Castle - The Rise of America’s Gold Coast

Along the North Shore of Long Island, nestled among gentle hills and overlooking the waters of Long Island Sound, lies a corridor once synonymous with extreme wealth, power, and architectural grandeur. Known as the Gold Coast, this stretch of land from Great Neck to Huntington flourished in the early 20th century as America’s wealthiest families—Vanderbilts, Morgans, Guggenheims, and Kahns—constructed sprawling country estates that rivaled the royal châteaux of Europe. These mansions weren’t just homes; they were monuments to ambition and influence, inspired by the and funded by fortunes forged in steel, railroads, finance, and shipping.

At the heart of this extraordinary chapter in American history stands OHEKA, the largest private residence ever built in New York—and the second-largest private home in the United States after the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina. More than a mansion, OHEKA Castle is now a fully restored luxury hotel, one that embodies the drama, artistry, and romance of the Gilded Age while offering modern-day indulgence in a timeless setting….

From NYC Skylines to East End Shores, a Transatlantic Showcase Unfolds
 Gerard Byrne, known for his luminous plein-air paintings and evocative cityscapes, will make his highly anticipated U.S. art fair debut at the 2025 Hamptons Fine Art Fair, held July 10th – 13th in Southampton, NY. With a dedicated solo artist booth ( #418) and a rare live painting demonstration on Sunday, July 13th, Byrne is poised to be one of the standout stars of this year’s fair.  Byrne’s transatlantic showcase will feature more than a dozen original works, many painted on-location during his 2024 artist residency in New York City. Drawing inspiration from the light and geometry of Manhattan’s skyline, the rhythm of downtown and lower Manhattan, and the timeless mood of the Atlantic coastline, Byrne’s paintings blur the line between realism and reverie. His impressionist style has earned him comparisons to Monet and Hopper, with a palette and perspective uniquely his own…

GB FASHION - Crowning Elegance - The Timeless World of Jackie Cicogna Millinery 👒

In an era of mass production and fleeting trends, Jackie Cicogna evokes timeless elegance, heirloom craftsmanship, and a deep reverence for fashion as art. Her creations do not merely complement an outfit—they crown it, elevating the wearer into a portrait of sophistication and poise.

For Jackie, millinery is not a career—it is a legacy. Her earliest memories are stitched into the silk linings and satin trims of her grandmother’s atelier, a custom milliner at Bergdorf Goodman, who worked alongside the legendary Halston. There, behind the velvet curtains and lacquered counters of the iconic Fifth Avenue department store, she witnessed the golden age of American couture and the quiet power of a perfectly placed hat. It was in those moments, watching her grandmother mold felt and feathers into elegance, that Jackie’s path was shaped…

GB JAMAICA - Round Hill - A Legacy of Leisure, A Sanctuary of Soul

Some places impress, and then some leave an imprint on your soul. Round Hill Hotel and Villas is firmly the latter, perched gently on Jamaica’s lush northwestern coast. Though I’ve journeyed to some of the world’s most revered destinations—from the Côte d’Azur to the Aman properties of Southeast Asia—Round Hill possesses a distinct energy. It whispers rather than shouts. It soothes rather than dazzles. And yet, it does so with unmistakable style.

I arrived under a pink-washed Jamaican sky, where the light softened everything it touched, especially the entrance to this legendary retreat. Built on a former pineapple plantation and steeped in history, Round Hill has been an enduring symbol of refined Caribbean living since the 1950s. It’s the kind of place where names like Ralph Lauren, Grace Kelly, Noël Coward, and Sir Paul McCartney have walked barefoot across the lawn. And yet, despite its long list of A-list devotees, Round Hill is not in the business of spectacle. It’s in the business of belonging…..

GB CONTEMPORARY ART - GUAN WEI - Cartographer of Myth & Modernity

From the swirling clouds of Taoist dreamscapes to futuristic robotic deities entangled in Buddhist symbology, Guan Wei’s art is a genre-defying journey—and the artist himself is our trickster guide. Born in Beijing in 1957 and now dividing his time between Australia and China, Guan Wei is widely regarded as one of the most important contemporary voices to bridge Eastern mythology and Western critique with playful intellect and philosophical depth.

In his most recent exhibition, Journey to the West (2025), Guan Wei evokes the beloved Ming Dynasty epic of the same name. Wu Cheng’en’s original fable chronicles the adventures of Sun Wukong—the Monkey King—a mischief-making immortal who is banished from Heaven and seeks redemption through spiritual quest. Guan Wei reimagines himself as a contemporary incarnation of this mythic figure: a guide, a provocateur, and an artist casting spells with brush and satire…
