TOYOTA GRAND HIGHLANDER

Recently, during AAPI Heritage Month, we were invited to Hawaii to celebrate Toyota and experience the new Grand Highlander. It was a whimsical experience. This is why the brand’s DNA goes through my legacy as our family has been proud owners of many of their products: Corolla, Tacoma, and Highlander. So we know firsthand how reliable their vehicles are. And just like the family, it was on this tour that we realized how attentive Toyota has become. They were attentive to their customers’ needs: more power, more cabin space, more cargo space, and an eye-catching silhouette.

With three new powertrains (a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder gas engine, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas-electric hybrid, and a gas-electric performance Hybrid Max) as well as a longer wheelbase (+6 inches), the Toyota Grand Highlander has been super-sized for all team toting parents. With advanced driver technology like Hybrid Max, producing 362 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, this is one of the most powerful 2.4 Liter four-cylinder gas-electric engines in its class. The available voice activated “Hey Toyota,” Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay built into the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It is also one of the smartest vehicles in its category.

We prefer the Platinum version with Hybrid Max in Storm Cloud. That is one of the most costly packages. This ultimate family hauler is well-equipped at $59,400. It has a jack cover; 110V and 1500 WATT AC outlet; JBL subwoofer; tons of cup holders and USB ports; a removable center console in 2nd row (for easier access to 3rd row); and 20-inch wheels. Moreover, the 2nd row has climate control access, vented seats, and every trim comes with a spare tire. Further, the 3rd row has enough headroom and legroom to transport two average-sized adults. Acoustic glass keeps the cabin quiet, and the Hybrid Max delivers smooth driving and sufficient torque for defensive drivers.

Clearly, the Toyota Grand Highlander will dominate the North American market with its bold design and interior/exterior colorways.

There’s a reason the media queen, Oprah, is buying a plethora of land in Hawaii. History is enough on its own for a billionaire, but heritage and customs are unparalleled in the Sandwich Islands. As such, the Mauna Lani Resort (Celestial Mountain) is within walking distance of some of the most breathtaking peaks. In 2018, the property was bought and reimagined with a $200 million price tag by Croesus, Dan Friedkin, owner of the world’s largest independent Toyota distributor. With 333 rooms and 50 bungalows, many units boast terraces overlooking the beach.

Campus amenities are the primary reason why it is the top resort on the island. The 5000 square-foot fitness center has pretty much the same equipment as our Equinox. The former chef of Nobu runs CanoeHouse restaurant.

Something fantastic is going on from above. You start to enjoy the traditions and embrace spirituality. After digging, you are mesmerized by the beautiful beaches and lava rocks that surround this institution. After a long journey, their world-class spa offers a plethora of services, including body massages. Or enjoy a cocktail as you watch a local artist paint. Oh, the golf course is wonderful, snorkeling is surreal, and the kids’ summer camp teaches them the importance of community.

Staying on the sixth floor in a luxury seaside apartment felt like we were by the pool. Of course, helicopter tours, sea turtles, and manta swimming are major attractions. Yet, the peaceful atmosphere with residences nearby reminds us of our childhood.

‘At one time, I literally burst into tears during the summer rain. It instantly brought back the warm embrace of my father or the wet kisses of my mother on my cheek.‘

– Vaughn Lowery, 360 President

Lastly, the staff at Mauna Lani Resort was extremely accessible and professional. Even though we were here for business, this was a necessary time for self-preservation.

“I love you like XO (in Beyoncé‘s voice).”

PROs: Free book exchange, free bike rental, great walking trails, great shops, free washer/dryer behind reception, and convenience store on campus.

Proudly unveiled in the serene surroundings of the French Riviera, the grand Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc provided a fitting backdrop for Aston Martin’s sparkling newcomer to steal the spotlight during the Cannes International Film Festival.

Celebrating Aston Martin’s 110th anniversary, 110 esteemed guests from across the fields of entertainment, sport, the arts, and business gathered to witness the arrival of a new icon and enjoy live performances from multi-award-winning British chart-topping singer and actress Rina Sawayama and international DJ Peggy Gou.

Stars of cinema in attendance included Academy Award winners Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas and Leonardo Di Caprio, whose critically acclaimed performance in Flower Moon has wowed critics in Cannes this week. Other actors in attendance included Kate Beckinsale, Tobey Maguire, James Marsden and James Bond actor Jeffrey Wright.

They were joined by other celebrated personalities from the worlds of entertainment including Grammy Award winning rapper, singer and actress Queen Latifah and American singer songwriter Adam Lambert. The world of fashion was also represented by leading models Winnie Harlow, Lais Ribeiro, Alessandra Ambrosio and Poppy Delevingne.

With an exhilarating top speed of 202mph and best-in-class power output of 680PS/800Nm from its 4.0 V8 Twin-Turbo engine, DB12 combines exceptional performance and handling with an ultra-luxurious interior design focusing on a driver centric cockpit, integrating latest technologies with luxury craftmanship and materials.

In the week of Formula One’s jewel in the crown race in Monaco, Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One® Team drivers Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso were present to catch first glimpse of the new performance model that proudly joins Aston Martin’s 75-year-old DB bloodline of exceptional British sportscars. The two drivers will hope to continue Aston Martin’s stunning start to the 2023 F1® World Championship, with the team currently second in the Constructor’s Championship.

Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin said:

“The launch of DB12 marks not just the start of our next generation of sportscars, but also a key step forward in our vision to establish Aston Martin as the world’s most desirable British ultra-luxury performance brand.

“Given the focus on celebrating our unique combination of ultra-luxury and high-performance, there could be no better place to unveil DB12 than here in Cannes on the eve of the amfAR Gala and during the Monaco Grand Prix week.”

Aston Martin is proud to be a Presenting Sponsor of the prestigious amfAR Gala Cannes, with the privileged opportunity to own the very first DB12 customer car to be auctioned tomorrow evening in support of the foundation for AIDS research that was co-founded by the late Elizabeth Taylor.

Barbie Ferreira + Elle

KO Média is thrilled to unveil the June/July/August issue of ELLE Canada, featuring rising superstar Barbie Ferreira. The young actor talks about growing up in New York City, landing a role in the hit series Euphoria and keeping a bright outlook for the future: “I dreamt of this time; it’s my time. I’m open to anything, really, as long as it has a good script and a great director and just good vibes. I’m looking for things that are a little bit different from what I’ve done before.”

We speak with a lot of passionate people in this issue, like up-and-coming actor Rachel Marsh from Netflix’s charming sitcom Unstable and the co-creator of the intentionally cringey comedy series Pen15, Anna Konkle. We chat with the Canadian-born comedy star of The Other Two, Heléne Yorke, triple-threat actor-author-activist Skai Jackson and the nose behind Chanel’s fragrances, Olivier Polge, who tells us about his good scents.

Our editors keep the style department packed with the Summer Shopping Guide, including beach-ready essentials, ’90s-inspired cargo pants, slinky sequined styles for nights out, denim everything and festival-ready pieces inspired by our favourite pop stars. We showcase plenty of our favourite trends, from keeping things pretty in pink to suiting up and going grunge, and also serve up sporty looks with tennis-inspired fashions, dip into inclusive and ethical swimwear brands and ask ourselves if celebrity stunt styles have gone too far.

Summer calls for its own set of beauty rules, so we lay out our best tips for protecting hair and skin all season long, from sunscreens to serums. We talk deep-clean with the return of face balms and tell you how to get the hottest celeb hairstyles for warm-weather months, including warm blonds and bobs galore. We also tour the L’Oréal Paris lab to see what goes into ensuring that our locks stay in tip-top shape, show you some beauty essentials for road-tripping and learn how to run the right way with personal trainer and owner of The Studio MTL, Val Desjardins.

On the lifestyle front, we look at how the de-hoarding community can help manage a messy space and we sit at the table with some female rising stars of professional poker, rekindle a love for reading with top summer book picks and paint the town blue—one of the season’s coolest hues. Our writers also let us tag along for their trips as they take a slow-travel train trek through the American Southwest, spend 48 hours in London’s Covent Garden neighbourhood and sail away with Club Med’s Exclusive Collection.

The June/July/August issue of ELLE Canada will hit newsstands and Apple News+ on May 29, 2023.

Journey to the UFC

360 MAG | Spotify Podcast

360 MAG | YouTube BTS

Chandler Henry directed and produced a poignant documentary, Journey to the UFC. It features one of the league’s most celebrated middleweight contenders, Joe “BodyBagz” Pyfer. Henry delivers a raw and larger than life piece of art that showcases what it really takes to become a champion. The dynamic duo worked together on another film prior to this one, resulting in an unwavering bond.

Upon speaking with the two, their gritty broadcast has generated tons of buzz. The unapologetic Pyfer has given Henry a license to capture some of the most traumatic moments in his career, causing him PTSD. According to BodyBagz, he attributes his resilience to some of life’s adversities: abusive upbringing, homelessness, and self-doubt.

Like a Phoenix, he continues to rise above the tribulations, including his severe arm wound during Dana White’s Contender Series. When he was asked what his rehabilitation regime was and what percentage of his mobility he was able to get back, he immediately went silent. Naturally, Pfyer does not want to educate his future opponents on the possible weaknesses.

The most refreshing part about Joe is that he’s transparent. This 26-year-old powerhouse prefers to concentrate on his technique and mental agility rather than making a quick buck. Like a bottle of reserve, he realizes that he has the opportunity to work on his overall brand as a warrior. In fact, he’s grateful to be a part of Disruptive Sports Group (DSG) – a financial venture that partners with athletes, providing them with the proper tools and resources so they excel.

Even with his short CV, it appears to be working in his favor. Instead of parading desperation, it is inspiring to witness a 6’2″ and 185lb man eloquently convey a level of grace as well as balance. It is evident that his new connectivity between mind and body will be wearing a bundle of belts in the near future.

CR FASHION BOOK

“But I still thought [her clothing] was cool because it was thrift, and things that come from places with culture and history are more important than a name brand. And I think that was taught to me through my mom, because I love all of her…like a small copper ring that she got from Nigeria. And she would add it to her outfit, and it just made so much more sense than anything that she could have purchased here, and I’m like, damn, okay, I get it. It’s energy, it’s all just energy. That’s what makes them fly.” – SZA quote regarding her mother.

Hitting global newsstands on April 13, Editor in Chief Carine Roitfeld unveiled CR Fashion Book (CRFB) Issue 22 with eight stunning covers featuring international music sensation SZA, the upcoming Peter Pan & Wendy star Ever Anderson, fashion muse and internet breakout star Emma Chamberlain, models Karlie Kloss, Saskia De Brauw, Gabbriette, and Abby Champion, and actress and television personality Lisa Rinna. Simultaneously, British actor Harris Dickinson covers Issue 16 of CR Men (CRM).

Roitfeld recently announced that the upcoming issue will be dedicated to Mother Nature and its beauty. As a mother and grandmother, Roitfeld feels a strong sense of responsibility to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to experience and connect with nature in its purest form.

One of the issue’s highlights is a personal tribute to the iconic fashion designer and environmental activist Vivienne Westwood, which features iconic supermodel Karlie Kloss. Roitfeld recognizes Westwood’s fierce dedication to protecting the planet and hopes to inspire readers with her message.

Karlie Kloss by Emma Summerton for CR FASHION BOOK via 360 MAGAZINE.

“It’s time to think about our legacy, not only as what we will be remembered for, but how future generations can benefit from it,” says Roitfeld. “I hope this issue serves as a reminder that nature is not forever if we don’t all take action now.”

The stunning homage to Vivienne Westwood is brought to life by guest creative directors Kate Aubrey and Kyra Griffin, with photography by Emma Summerton and fashion styling by Roitfeld herself.

The American singer SZA is featured in a fashion spread photographed by Nick Riley Bentham. The article discusses SZA’s self-described neurosis, her ability to express emotion on her records, and how her music explores themes of polyamory and personal entanglements.

In a spread captured by Petra Collins and styled by Ava Van Osdol, internet sensation Emma Chamberlain opens up about her unique upbringing as an only child without cable television and her journey to becoming a prominent Gen Z influencer. With her signature authenticity and relatable style, Chamberlain discusses her obsessive tendencies and the challenges of being a role model for young fans.

In a spread captured by legendary British artist Martin Parr, Lisa Rinna discusses her decision to leave The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and how she is comfortable with herself at 59. While her time on the show is over, she indicates that her time in the spotlight is not.

The breakout star of Peter Pan & Wendy, Ever Anderson, is set to soar to new heights. In a spread, the Miu Miu ambassador and daughter of Milla Jovovich and Paul W. S. Anderson, is photographed by Matt Jones.

British actor Harris Dickinson shares his journey of taking on challenging roles, including his roles in Triangle of Sadness, Steve McQueen’s upcoming movie Blitz

In a spread captured by Benjamin Lennox and styled by Ben Schofield, CR Men cover star Dickinson discusses his transformation from a BAFTA-nominated darling to a household name.

Models Gabbriette, photographed by Donna Trope, Saskia de Brauw, photographed by Justin French, and Abby Champion, photographed by Letty Schmiterlow, are also featured in the Mother Nature-themed issue.

Saskia de Brauw by Justin French for CR FASHION BOOK via 360 MAGAZINE.

“The launch of CR Fashion Book Issue 22 and CR Men Issue 16 is a joyous occasion for us,” states CR Fashion Book’s CEO, Vladimir Roitfeld. “Our upcoming issue is dedicated to celebrating the beauty of Mother Nature, and we’re proud to present a remarkable transformation since the pandemic began – most of the photography in this issue was shot on location, highlighting breathtaking locations such as the beaches of Malibu and Hawaii. This unique perspective brings a fresh outlook to fashion and style, and we can’t wait for our readers to explore the pages.”

Raja Kumari + Manish Malhotra

Yesterday, the glamorous city of Cannes witnessed a fashion extravaganza as the talented international musician and fashion icon Raja Kumari graced the red carpet in collaboration with renowned designer Manish Malhotra.

Donning a stunning red custom ensemble serves as a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the designer, who tailored it with Raja Kumari’s unique style and personality in mind. The stunning red hue exudes confidence and power, with a cape and long trail at the back. The Indian American multi-faceted artist walked the red carpet for indē wild, a conscious award winning beauty ecosystem, founded by Diipa Khosla. This is the first ever South Asian brand that brought people from different nations to walk the prestigious red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

Speaking of her debut, the Indian American multifaceted artist said, “I am so honored to have been asked to attend Cannes Film Festival and support my friend Diipa Khosla and Indē Wild. I always choose Indian Couture for my most important moments and I felt like a goddess wearing Manish Malhotra’s sari with an elongated cape. I truly am humbled and grateful for this opportunity to be a part of the first South Asian brand representing at one of the most prestigious events in the world.”

Raja Kumari, known for her striking and bold looks on red carpets around the globe, makes her Cannes debut no exception. Her captivating head-to-toe look created by Manish Malhotra is a true celebration of fashion and artistry. The collaboration between these two creative powerhouses undoubtedly provides an unforgettable moment on the prominent red carpet.

HighSnobiety + NewJeans

Highsnobiety introduces its first-ever limited run magazine release, featuring the pop sensation NewJeans on a special edition cover.

In a new conversation with YJ Lee with accompanying photos by Park Sangjun, NewJeans, the supersquad of five, divulges on their year of ascendance with their candid take on their creative process, personal style, and vision for the future.

MINJI, on what their name suggests:

“Our name NewJeans refers to a “new” pair of jeans, but at the same time, jeans are also a timeless fashion staple adored by people of all ages. We are constantly striving and working hard to present music that can embrace both the new and the classic, just like what our name NewJeans suggests.”

HYEIN, on why she named the fanclub Bunnies?

“We think of our fans as our best friends, and the cute name “Bunnies” also has an alternative nickname, tto-kki, which means “bunny” in Korean!”

HANNI, on her favorite newly learned Korean phase:

“My favorite Korean phrase would have to be “설레다.” There is no direct translation of the word in English, so it’s difficult to explain. “설레다” is like the word for the butterflies you get when you’re nervous because of the anticipation and thrilling excitement. There is a fluttering, innocent feel to the word that makes [it] feel extra sentimental.”

HAERIN, on her favorite lyric:

There’s a part that goes, “I’ll run into you like serendipity.” I like the line since it’s cute and you also feel that sense of excitement when you listen to it. I can visualize the situation when I read the lyrics, which makes it feel so real.

DANIELLE, on her favorite dish to bake:

“I think the brownies turned out really well. I remember using avocado and oatmeal as alternative ingredients, and it tasted just as yummy!!”
