The new winter escape

for the 1%? Tampa!

Forget Tulum, Mustique, Goa — the super-rich will be flocking

to Tampa, Florida, this winter. “This is Tampa’s time,” says Ian

Schrager, hotelier to the elite, who is about to launch an outpost

of Edition Hotels there (below). “It’s a very exciting city that’s

now finally coming into its own.” The 26-storey hotel will open

next spring, with 172 rooms and 37 private residences — yours

for $2 million apiece. Tom Brady and Gisele are already locals.

Brady’s team is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who won this year’s

Super Bowl, and until recently the couple rented a seven-

bedroom, 16-bathroom mansion with a private

dock in the wealthy Davis Islands enclave. Then

there’s Tom Cruise’s penthouse in Clearwater; he

has reportedly moved in following a years-long

renovation (rumour says there’s a custom flight

simulator inside). The Silicon Valley lot are on

their way too. Forbes named Tampa the top

destination for emerging tech hubs in America,

and Bill Gates is already an investor. Ready to start

snooping? Stream the first Selling Sunset spin-off,

Selling Tampa, which has just landed on Netflix.

The series follows the all-black, all-female Allure

Realty brokerage headed up by Sharelle Rosado.

The patron saint of Tampa, however, will always

be Hulk Hogan (left), who grew up here and

still owns a house, a Hogan’s Beach Shop

and a new restaurant, Hogan’s Hangout,

where you can buy a pound of shrimp

for $21. Booking a table now.

The acid house

smiley is back :)

Call it vicarious living, but the iconic

yellow smiley face that defined the

acid-house generation is getting a wave of

love from fashion at the moment. The symbol

was the mascot on flyers for the legendary

Shoom club nights in the late 1980s, and now H&M

is riffing on it with a smiley-themed streetwear

collection. Balenciaga and Versace have been doing

their own luxury spins too, while designer Natasha

Zinko has gone so far as to create smiley face contact

lenses if you really want to relive the good old days.

Just don’t call it an emoji. Tote, £940, Versace,

and contact lenses, £93, Natasha Zinko;
