Dear readers,
Welcome to our Holiday Issue. There is something innately soothing about the holidays. It’s been fun to proof these pages — from the bright and cheery holiday décor tips from our Dzyn Corner to the three festive holiday destinations we profiled in our Travel section. And our annual Holiday Gift Guide does not disappoint with an imaginative selection of presents for your nearest and dearest.
Our cover star, John Terzian knows a thing or two about how to keep the holidays festive. Terzian, who is cofounder of The h.wood Group, is the visionary mind behind some of Los Angeles’ hottest, most exclusive restaurants, clubs, and bars – including Bootsy Bellows, SHOREbar, Blind Dragon, The Nice Guy, 40 Love, Mason and The Peppermint Club. Alongside, a thriving events business attracting A-list celebrities like Katy Perry, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Drake amongst many.
And what better way to spend the holidays than to be in touch with those we love — even if it means over a
long-distance call. So, we reached out to John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile US. In our exclusive interview, Legere dishes out on the latest innovations and his mission to turn T-Mobile into an Un-carrier — essentially the opposite of any other mobile company and most importantly keep us connected during the holidays.
Last, at the risk of “burying the lead,” as we say in journalism, I want to draw your attention to our feature about the internationally renowned Colombian artist, Fernando Botero. In an intimate conversation between Stéphane Custot and Fernando Botero, the artist pays tribute to the Old Master paintings he studied as a young student in Europe during the 1950’s. Botero shares for the first time from his own collection a major exhibition of still life paintings, drawings and watercolors displayed at Custot Gallery Dubai.
In the spirit of what’s best about this season, we’d like to take the opportunity to thank our readers, contributors, advertisers and all-around friends of High Rise Life magazine.
We wish you all a happy and fabulous New Year!
