I used to joke that I plumbed the depths of superficiality, but my last book on America’s original ruling class proved, I think, that I can also successfully write serious history without sacrificing a popular point of view.

I started my career covering rock musicians—I even toured Japan with Kiss before moving on to fashion and, then, the upper class. For the first time, my next book weaves all three beats into one hell of a story.

When I first visited St. Barth thirty-five years ago, I was assured that it was already ruined. It wasn’t.

How did this simple island became THE luxury travel destination for the super-rich? But, at what point do we ruin the places we love by loving them too much?

RIP Oliviero Toscani. I regret that he has only a few mentions in Focus. He was an awesome talent.
