Charlie Young CEO
“T
he Report,” presented by the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® program, was released at the start of 2018 to great fanfare. Revamped and rebranded, The Report confirmed that, within the high-end property landscape, most markets remained stable and posted consistent annual numbers. It extended the conversation about luxury beyond the “tale of two coasts,” revealing a number of interesting trends. The luxury real estate market is not only expanding, but also becoming increasingly interconnected. The unprecedented rise of the ultra-high-net-worth population has propelled international cities like Hong Kong, Paris and Tokyo to higher status. New wealth in the U.S. has created opportunities outside of the traditional luxury epicenters of New York and California. Some of the most interesting insights from The Report center around cities like Nashville and Dallas that are becoming hot spots, as affluent buyers become more motivated by lifestyle factors as opposed to location. We examine some
of The Report’s findings further, beginning on page 2, but I encourage you to download the full version at blog.coldwellbankerluxury.com/TheReport2018. When Coldwell Banker® Real Estate unveiled the new Coldwell Banker Global Luxury identity last year, it was a direct reflection of this trend toward globalization in modern luxury. To succeed in this environment means we must evolve and grow. With over 3,000 offices in 47 countries and territories, the Coldwell Banker brand can seamlessly connect Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Specialists to the world’s affluent clientele. The reach of the program overseas will expand this year. We continue to break our own records and challenge ourselves. I am proud to report that Coldwell Banker-affiliated sales associates handled 28,746 transaction sides of $1 millionplus homes in 2017 — a 16% increase from the prior year. This equates to $148.7 million in luxury sales every day with an average sales price of $1.9 million* in 2017 in this category. Redefining luxury — it’s what we do.
* Average daily sales data based on closed and recorded transaction sides of homes sold for $1 million (USD$) or more as reported by the U.S. Coldwell Banker system for the calendar year 2017.

hen I think about what’s ahead for the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® program in 2018, my first priority is maintaining our success. How are we going to stay a leader in the luxury real estate game? How are we going to keep pushing ourselves in the digital and print arenas? How are we going to keep the wheels of progress turning after the landmark year we just had? 2017 was a year of evolution, as we launched a brand-new identity and overhauled our entire certification program to better meet the needs of modern buyers and sellers of luxury property. I would like 2018 to be a year of advancement — a year of “more.” More relationship building. More learning. More innovation. More expansion. I spend a great deal of my time on the road, meeting with agents and brokers affiliated with the Coldwell Banker ® brand all over the world. I do a lot of 6 | Distinctive Luxury Living
talking, of course. But I also do a lot of listening. Our agents are on the front lines, telling us exactly what their high-net-worth clients need, want and expect from them as ambassadors of a globally recognized real estate brand. Expectations are high, because the stakes are high. We must not rest on our laurels. We must forge ahead and continue to grow as individuals, and as a luxury real estate market program. For 2018, our team is focused on expanding the reach of our global network by adding more countries and territories for the distribution of our flagship magazine, Homes & Estates, and expanding our listing syndication, which is already at 66 countries. These goals mean a lot when you are selling an estate that only a select group of buyers in the world can afford. We want to create more of these meaningful marketing connections.

THE BOLD IN THE BEAUTIFUL BY ALYSON PITARRE
DONATELLA VERSACE OFFERS A RARE LOOK INSIDE THE GLAMOUR AND TRADITIONS OF THE LEGENDARY ITALIAN FASHION HOUSE.
If
In what ways would you say your interpretation of Versace has continued the family tradition in the 21st century? I always think about Versace, not just today, but the Versace of 30 | Distinctive Luxury Living
BOOK COVER COURTESY OF VERSACE
there is one name that epitomizes Italian opulence and sexiness, it’s Versace. Since the brand was founded in 1978 by Gianni Versace, the luxury fashion house has set trends, created history-making ad campaigns, dressed A-list celebrities and made memorable red carpet moments. Bold, fearless glamour: this is the Versace calling card. And the woman responsible for it all in the 21st century is Donatella Versace. Since becoming artistic director following her brother’s 1997 death, she has turned her family’s name into a pop culture icon and billion-dollar business. “Versace is more than just a brand to me,” she says. “It is family, and its DNA and traditions are in my blood. What interests me is taking those traditions and pushing them forward into the future.” Her ability to drive the brand toward modernity while paying homage to her family’s crafting traditions has turned her into both icon and shrewd businesswoman. She is much more than her trademark tan and platinum-blonde hair, much more than her name or whatever new collection happens to hit the runway next. For all her focus on the future, the enigmatic yet alluring Versace sees the brand fitting into a larger historical context within the Italian design tradition. “I believe Italians have creative ability in our DNA, and I think we use our creativity to create desire,” says the designer, who calls Milan home to this day. “It is for this reason that Italian fashion leads the world. Milan is once again a leader in innovation and in fashion made with genuine craftsmanship. I am thrilled to see the world appreciating what is unique about Italian fashion.” In a richly illustrated tome recently released by Rizzoli, she chronicles her interpretation of Versace through the years. Homes & Estates had the honor of interviewing the fashion icon herself about tradition, creativity and how she personally defines luxury.

“My life has been lived, for better or worse, in the public eye. There have been many times I wish I could live over again, but from it all, I have learned a new strength and have a new passion and energy.”
tomorrow. This is how we push those codes forward — by being true to our roots, while always being focused on the future. It’s been so exciting for me to see the new Versace tribe growing around the world, as a young generation discovers Versace for the first time. It’s inspiring to me to see the way they dress, helping to push Versace into the 21st century. I am very impatient. I get bored easily. As soon as I’ve finished a collection, I want to move on to the next. I’d love for fashion to become more immediate and feel more like the 21st century. I love change. Why would you want things to stay the same? I love that people around the world can share their passion for fashion. I love it. The future of Versace is so exciting. Versace will always be one of the world’s most important luxury fashion brands. The Versace look will always be instantly recognizable. You can never mistake a Versace dress for anyone else’s. But Versace will also always evolve, always change and always be excited about the future. All I know is that Versace will be ready for change, excited for whatever it is to become in the world of fashion. What was one of your favorite red carpet creations from the book? The Jennifer Lopez Jungle Dress at the 2000 Grammy Awards. This dress was so successful! People went crazy and started looking for the picture online. That is how Google Image search was born. That was such a special moment, for Jennifer and also for me. I knew we had created an incredible dress, something that had never been seen before. I
wanted to use Versace print in a new way, revealing so much of her incredible body, yet also draping her like a gown. Jennifer had just had her first smash hits as a pop diva, and she had such an incredible new confidence and sense of daring. She looked so radiant in the dress, like she ruled the world. Looking back, what were your regrets? What would you do over again? My life has been lived, for better or worse, in the public eye. There have been many times I wish I could live over again, but from it all, I have learned a new strength and have a new passion and energy. Those times now seem like so long ago. My focus is firmly on the future. I know that I am at my best when I am true to myself and have a strong point of view. There have been times in the past when I had doubts or was cautious, and that then showed in my work. Each season, I have to have confidence in myself and the strength to push Versace forward. It is hard work, but the results are clear to me. Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing the strength of Versace right now, and how women around the world are responding to my family’s brand. It gives me the confidence to do more, push further and make Versace the best it has
ever been. As a designer, I see it as part of my duty to push for individuality and power for women, and to push for a more equal world. For you, how does Versace epitomize Italian opulence? I was born into a family of creativity and craftsmanship. My mother was a dressmaker, so the Italian traditions of cut, form and quality have been in my life since my earliest memories. But not everything was about tradition — my brother Gianni was nearly ten years older than I, so when I was a very young child, I watched him rebel and find his love of fashion. When I became a teenager myself, he would dare me to be more extreme, to push my look further. Today, I can see how these two sides have influenced my character — the respect for tradition and the desire for rebellion. If there was one message you wanted to make sure every reader received from your book, what would it be? Versace is about strength, individuality and power. It’s also about loving life, making the best of every moment, being true to who you are. Be brave, be fearless, be yourself! www.cbdistinctiveluxury.com | 31
THE LAST WORD IN…
HAUTE CYCLING BY ROGER GRODY
REPRESENTING A RESURGENT LUXURY BICYCLE MARKET IS MAISON TAMBOITE, A LEGENDARY BRAND WITH A COMMITMENT TO ARTISANAL PRODUCTION.
F
ounded in Paris in 1912, Maison Tamboite bicycles were favored by the likes of Édith Piaf and Maurice Chevalier. The company was shuttered in the late 1980s — a time when many consumers were abandoning artisanal craftsmanship for mass-produced products — but current owner Frédéric Jastrzebski, the great-grandson of the company’s founder, reclaimed the family tradition. Young Frédéric was encouraged to pursue a more practical career and entered the financial industry, but he always harbored a sentimental appreciation for the workshop he spent so many hours in as a boy. “It was important to me that this tradition of craftsmanship not be lost,” says Jastrzebski. In 2014, he and
his brother resurrected the venerable company — the name Maison Tamboite still commanded considerable goodwill in the City of Light — and opened a workshop in the 12th arrondissement near Place de la Bastille. Committed to creating products worthy of the family brand, Jastrzebski and his brother began producing luxury bicycles with a commitment to old-fashioned handcraftsmanship, even taking some of their greatgrandfather’s vintage tools out of mothballs. “Today we use some more modern tools, especially computerassisted programs for design, but the techniques to build them have not changed, and we rely on an extensive ecosystem of Parisian artisans,” explains Jastrzebski.

products most Americans grew up with, Maison Tamboite bicycles are custom-fitted to their owners, whether it be at the Paris workshop or anywhere in the world convenient for customers. “The product is bespoke, executed precisely to the dimensions of each client,” says Jastrzebski, who explains that no fewer than 15 measurements ensure maximum comfort and efficiency for the rider. The wheel rims and mud guards on Maison Tamboite bikes are crafted from honey-hued beechwood, while hand-burnished buffalo leather envelops the handlebar, cables and seat. With this attention to detail and craftsmanship, every bicycle takes about three months to build, and the result is not only engineering excellence, but a product that is aesthetically exquisite. Like any custom-made, artisanally crafted product, these bikes do not come cheap, and with prices starting at about $12,000, Maison Tamboite might be viewed as the Louis Vuitton of bicycles. “The quality speaks for itself,” states Jastrzebski, who insists it is difficult to describe or even convey through photographs. “The product really needs to be seen and touched to be appreciated,” he says. • Maison Tamboite, www.maisontamboite.fr
