THE SEASON Magazine
A quarterly private magazine founded by Hilary Musser —
the definitive voice of Palm Beach's most intimate social world,
real estate excellence, and the art of living well.
Hilary Musser —
the vision behind the magazine.
MBA from Babson College, you are the kind of woman who has never waited for permission. At 29, you obtained the IMAX rights from the International Olympic Committee, hired Frank Marshall, Kathleen Kennedy, and John Williams — and produced an Olympic film. Because you had a vision and you executed it.
You have been part of Palm Beach for 22 seasons and you did not inherit a social circle. You built one. You became its dominant figure — the woman who organizes the events, sets the tone, and draws the social lines.
As a developer and licensed contractor, you have personally bought and sold over $150 million in residential real estate across Florida, Pennsylvania, and Nantucket. You build one home at a time — the finest in every neighborhood you touch. In every location you have developed, you have delivered the most exceptional home in that area. Your current milestone: an 18,000 sq ft waterfront estate in West Palm Beach, furnished entirely with Poltrona Frau — including a second-story pool engineered inside a pool. Architecture as a personal statement.
You are a committed presence in the art world — attending Art Basel Miami Beach and Red Dot Miami annually. Your son Cooper, a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, brings an artistic eye that extends naturally into every creative project you undertake.
In December 2025, Netflix's Members Only: Palm Beach gave you a global platform. You were not just a cast member — you were the center of gravity. Millions of people worldwide now know who you are. The question is: what do you build next?
"I work 18 hours a day. Nothing is handed to me. Since 1996, in every neighborhood I've built in, I've delivered the most exceptional home in that area — not always the biggest, but the one that sets the standard."Hilary Musser, 2026

An object of desire.
Not just a magazine.
The visual language of THE SEASON is built on a single principle: Hilary Musser does not do shortcuts. Neither does her magazine.
Ivory whites, warm creams, terracotta accents, and deep charcoal. The palette of the oleander flower itself — natural, sun-warmed, never cold or clinical.
Authoritative but never cold. Aspirational but never unattainable. Precise but never sterile.
THE SEASON writes for the Palm Beach world, not about it. The difference between a society magazine and a society member publishing her own magazine.
Hilary's voice — direct, self-made, uncompromising — is the editorial north star of every issue.
Format: 230×300mm landscape (oversized luxury)
Paper: 170 gsm coated matte interior + 300 gsm cover with soft-touch laminate and selective spot UV on THE SEASON logotype
Pages: 120–140 pages per issue
Spine: Perfect bound with visible terracotta-colored cloth spine
Architecture and interior photography in the tradition of Architectural Digest — wide-angle, natural light, daylight and golden hour. No dark or moody filters.
Portrait photography: confident, direct, natural setting (within properties, gardens, on the water). Hilary's own aesthetic — fashion as identity, not costume.
Art photography: gallery-standard reproduction, white backgrounds where needed.
Issue 01: Hilary Musser — standing at the entrance of her 18,000 sq ft waterfront estate. The architecture behind her. The light of Palm Beach around her. One woman. One property. Nothing else.
PRIVATE
Issue One
An invitation into Palm Beach's most private world.
The cover line for Issue 01 is both a declaration and an invitation — direct enough to stop anyone who picks it up, exclusive enough to signal this is a world that does not explain itself.
From Issue 02 onward: "For those who already know." — The door closes. The inner circle is set.
The words on
the cover.
most private world.
The Pilot Issue.
A complete first issue — editorial, design, photography, print-ready files, and digital version — to launch THE SEASON into the world with authority and precision. The pilot issue is the proof of concept. It is the object that changes conversations, opens advertising doors, and establishes Hilary Musser as a publisher.
What Issue 01
says.
Palm Beach does not give you anything. You arrive, you plant your roots, and you earn your place. I've been doing that for 22 years. I built homes that changed neighborhoods, hosted dinners that became friendships, and navigated a social world where the unspoken rules are the only ones that matter. THE SEASON is my way of saying: I know this world. I built part of it. And now I want to share it — on my terms, in my voice, with the level of precision I bring to everything I do. Nothing is handed to me. Not even a magazine. Not even The Season.
Let's build
your magazine.
This proposal is a starting point. We would love to meet with you in Palm Beach — to refine the concept, align on the production timeline, and launch THE SEASON before the end of 2026.
