The Creatives Edition

Fashion. Music. Art. Travel. Authors. Our November 2024 Creatives Edition is a celebration of inspiration and creativity. Our cover stars, Brian and Brittney Kelley, are more than just a power couple; they embody collaboration and authenticity. Brittney, a talented fashion designer, and Brian, a country music star, are reshaping the creative landscape with their down-to-earth charm. CFDA fashion designer Billy Reid celebrates twenty years of his brand and the return of his infamous Shindig event in Florence, Alabama. Artistry extends to food as we explore the revival of iconic restaurants like Café Thirty-A and Basmati’s, showcasing the fresh vision of their new owners. Join the VIE team as we travel to the Dominican Republic, experiencing the luxury of Amanera, a resort that provides the perfect backdrop for relaxation and creative inspiration. We’ll also introduce you to Myles Mellor, our Crossword King, whose clever puzzles have captivated many, along with talented artists Brendan Parker and Savanna Kidd, whose work speaks volumes. In this issue, we shine a light on Roy Sembera, the visionary behind the impressive Churchill Oaks development, showing how creativity can transform a community. And you won’t want to miss the beautifully crafted wedding of Casey and Ann Woods in Alys Beach. We hope this edition sparks your creative passions. Happy reading!
