An ambitious but simple mission. WFrancis Ford Coppola’s fi nest hotel yet, the Palazzo Margherita (page 42), redefi nes luxury in a way that is restrained yet exquisitely comfortable. He and French interior designer Jacques Grange have married Moorish and Tunisian infl uences with an Italian aesthetic to create languid, 19th-century grandeur where you might imagine yourself the protagonist of a novel. Entrepreneur Thomas Flohr (page 50) is trying to give the conservative world of private jets a full fashion makeover by luring customers to his upstart VistaJet by the same means that bring them to part with money for luxury handbags: the creation of desire. Japan (page 64) once threatened to take over eve- rything from cars to electronics. Today it proff ers the goods other nations are most proud of, at a quality to rival the originals. In Japan they’re perfecting the art of American denim, Italian espresso and French cuisine. Lastly and mostly lovely, our cover girl, Anjelica Huston (page 21), is in a league of one, challenging conventional, often boring notions about beauty, career paths and what it means to be a woman in Hollywood. Everyone who met her at our shoot pretty much fell in love with her hon- esty and gameness. Let’s just say that doesn’t happen every day.
