For three days in July—during which Bastille Day and the World Cup dominated the news cycle—French fashion powerhouse Zadig & Voltaire popped up in Southampton at Jeff Lincoln Art + Design. Charlotte Bonstrom-Assaf, Sarah G. Harrelson, and Rogan Gregory were among the revelers who stopped by to take in the brand’s latest collections and enjoy Gregory’s works. • Meanwhile in East Hampton, Dom Pérignon toasted Bastille Day with an intimate dinner at Moby’s hosted by outgoing chef de cave Richard Geoffroy, who toasted his successor, Vincent Chaperon. Cynthia Rowley, Olivia Chantecaille, Joanna Coles, Darren Star, and Dylan Lauren were among the guests who enjoyed the Vintage 2008 Legacy Edition, the ’05 rosé, and much more. • Lizzie Tisch celebrated the launch of LTD by Lizzie Tisch, her experiential style brand, with a series of events, including a private dinner attended by the likes of Joseph Altuzarra and a show of artwork from Ashley Longshore.

I don’t change it up that often, but when I find a new scent I love, I will. I’ve been wearing Nuit Azur all the time now. I spray it on my collarbone and in my damp hair after the shower. Where are you traveling this summer, and what do you plan to do there? I spend most summer weekends in Southampton with my boys. We spend the day outside swimming, clamming, playing tennis.… We bundle up in blankets and watch the sunset from the beach almost every night. Then we usually go back to the house and play a game of Scrabble. It’s my idea of heaven.

You’ve cited the Mediterranean as one of the inspirations for Nuit Azur. Where are some of your favorite places to travel there, and what aspects of those places directly inspired the notes of the fragrance? I fell in love with the Mediterranean at a young age. Every summer, my parents would take a big steamer ship to Italy, France, Greece, and Morocco and come home six weeks later with the most incredible stories from their travels. The Mediterranean took on this almost mythical quality to me. I have traveled there many times over the years, and I’ve always been taken by the sea.

As the president, marketing, and publishing director of Hearst Magazines, Michael Clinton is among the busiest executives in the media industry. But when it’s time to relax and rejuvenate, he heads to his beloved New Mexico. In his new photography book, Santa Fe, Clinton focuses on the details of this unique, mystical city. f r o m s a n ta f e , by m i c h a e l c l i n t o n , c o p y r i g h t © 2 0 1 8 , g l i t t e r at i e d i t i o n s . c o m ( 6 ) ; a l l o t h e r s c o u r t e sy

Penny Lieberman, Tom DeVincentis, and Susie Noddle
What initially drew you to Santa Fe? When I was in my twenties, I went to Santa Fe for the first time. I was a boy from the East Coast, and I had this major epiphany that it was God’s country. I think I left my soul there, and I said, I have to go get my soul again someday. So about 10 years ago, I landed there with a house. I get there about three or four times a year. It’s one of the most unique cities in America. How do you spend an average day in Santa Fe? It all starts with a hike, usually to the top of Atalaya Mountain. There’s a huge network of trails. And then depending on the season, it might be skiing or running on the trails. I’m a marathoner, so I’ll do trail runs there with my friend who lives out there. She kicks my butt. The elevation is 7,000 feet, so I’m chasing her. Then there’s always a margarita with a lot of friends. When you’re in Santa Fe, people always want to know where you hiked, what you’re reading, what you’re thinking about…they’re not interested in what you do for a living. It’s a very low-key place. You could be sitting next to someone at dinner and you’ll find out at the end that they’ve been nominated for an Oscar! Do you ever run into Tom Ford and Richard Buckley? I’ve known Tom and Richard for…well, I used to work with Richard at Fairchild about 35 years ago. They live about a mile away. Tom was raised there—he went to Santa Fe Prep. What’s so magical about Santa Fe, from an artist’s perspective? What’s interesting about the art scene there is that it is more than quote, “Southwestern art.” Asian art, modern art, native art, Southwestern art—it’s become a very diversified, global scene. Same with photography. People come from all over the world now to the various art fairs. I believe there are a couple hundred galleries there,
Clinton and family
in addition to an amazing food and outdoors scene. How is the book organized? It was important to capture the detail of Santa Fe. In today’s world, people will move quickly through a place without capturing a specific detail. [The book] is really about identifying those things you might zip by. What I do is capture all the details, and I work with a crew—the director, a publisher—that helps me to take hundreds and hundreds of photos and put them into the context of categories. What do you like about Santa Fe’s small format? The inspiration of the book was a physical manifestation of Instagram. This is the third book I’ve done in this size— the first book was called Closer, which gathered images from all over the world. The second book was The Hamptons. And I think the next one might be Miami. It’s got huge richness in terms of detail of architecture and street scenes. How do you manage the different parts of your schedules in terms of the day-to-day responsibilities of your work at Hearst, as well as your personal projects? Well, I try to get to New Mexico four times a year because it’s my energy and my fuel. I map out the year, and then manage it. I’m a type-A manager. I figure it out!

How has Serafina become one of the most popular restaurant brands in New York City, the Hamptons, and beyond? After spending a little time with co-founder Vittorio Assaf and his wife, Charlotte Bonstrom-Assaf, we’re pretty sure their friendly nature has something to do with it.
That’s Amore (From top) The devoted couple at home; a taste of Serafina.
FA S H I O N W E E K D A I LY. C O M
You opened the first Serafina location in 1995. How do you explain its success? Vittorio Assaf: The restaurant is an extension of your home. It’s an affordable luxury—we have the best burrata, the best prosciutto di Parma, but still the prices are reasonable. You also never know who you’ll be sitting next to. Maybe it will be a celebrity— Mayor Bloomberg or Madonna. Charlotte Bonstrom-Assaf: From day one, Vittorio and [co-founder] Fabio
Granato decided to really have an open door. No reservation is needed. We are open seven days a week for that kind of convenience. People are well aware that they are always welcome. And your customers are loyal! Vittorio: Many of our relationships are lifelong. Some clients began coming to us 20 years ago, and we’ve seen their kids grow up, get married, and eventually, return with children of their own. We appeal to so many different

segments of society. Family first, but we appeal to business people, singles.… Charlotte: I actually met Vittorio at Serafina! I was single once upon a time. Tell us more! Charlotte: He was already established in New York. I came to pursue my modeling career about 10 months after he opened his first location. All the girls were buzzing about Serafina 79th Street, a new Italian restaurant on the Upper East Side. I remember being in Central Park with a guy—it wasn’t a date, but he said, “What do we do now?” I said, “Let’s go to this new restaurant. All my girlfriends are there.” He must’ve been like, “Oh, no, I’m going to get stuck with some restaurant bill for like 20 girls.” So he dropped me off at the door, and we said goodbye. Then I walked up those staircases, and I found my table with all the girls. Vittorio was there, and he saw me. I don’t think he did a doubletake or anything, but he was very kind. He offered me some champagne and tiramisu, and I thought he was the most
“
How many Serafina locations exist around the world? Vittorio: We have almost 45 restaurants right now—Brazil, Japan, Boston…we’re growing internationally and domestically. We have plans to open three in Tel Aviv. Charlotte: The New York–based restaurants are fully owned and operated by us, and we license the name to others around the world. What’s the story with the Serafina Beach Hotel in Puerto Rico? Vittorio: It’s beautiful, and located in the most exclusive area of San Juan. It’s brand-new and totally renovated, designed by Icrave. There are 96 rooms—48 are on the ocean, and 48 are lakeside. We opened a seafood restaurant there called aMare, because we have Serafina already one block away. Charlotte: We decided as a family to go and be part of opening that location in San Juan, so we are operating it. It’s a new experience for us. A learning experience! So you spend most of the year in San Juan now?
Many of our relationships are lifelong. Some clients began coming to us 20 years ago, and we’ve seen their kids grow up, get married, and eventually, return with children of their own.

handsome man I’d ever seen. Vittorio: The rest is history! What was your first impression of her? Vittorio: I was full of love. Swedish, beautiful, blonde, tall… So sweet. Your East Hampton restaurant has been open for eight years now. What do you think is so special about the location? Vittorio: It’s very cute, very friendly, and very Hamptons. I really love it. Charlotte: We have two great employees out there, Goran Jokic and Ture Tufvesson, who run it like it’s theirs. Every year, they improve the space. They give back to the restaurant, and they’re so caring. They have a great connection with the local population. They care about the locals and also the summer guests. Any new additions this year? Charlotte: Yes! We have a beautiful new green awning for the outdoor space, as well as a light that says “yummy,” because it’s a positive word when it comes to food. How do you divide the business responsibilities? Charlotte: He’s the main force, though after 20 years together, he does really value my opinion. We talk about everything, and then he will make the decision.
Charlotte: Yes, for the past three years. It’s been a great experience. I love New York, and I never thought I would be able to experience living somewhere else. And then, from one night to another, we were like, “Yeah! Puerto Rico!” Vittorio: It’s sunny and 85 degrees, never humid, and always windy, so you don’t even feel the heat. It’s perfect. What’s a typical weekend like for you out East? Vittorio: Relaxing! Charlotte: Our house is in Southampton. Vittorio enjoys nature, and it’s a moment for him to switch off. He goes on hourlong walks, and I’m home with the kids, which is also relaxing. We love jumping in the car, chatting along the way, and then eating at Serafina East Hampton. Surprise, surprise! Charlotte: Next summer, in addition to going to Serafina, I want to try every fitness activity and also hit the farmstands. I wanna be like Mother Earth, handpicking my arugula. [Laughs] What’s your go-to Serafina order? Vittorio: Probably truffle pizza or gnocchi. We make gnocchi twice a day at Serafina. You put them on your tongue, and they vanish. Charlotte: We love the sauvignon blanc house wine with a plate of prosciutto. It doesn’t get better than that.

What was your vision for The Wing’s first Hamptons experience? We wanted to collaborate with female designers, florists, musicians and friends to create an intimate event, hosted in partnership with American Express Platinum, that had a laid-back, beachy atmosphere. As part of that, the night featured a performance by singersongwriter Okay Kaya. And the best part was that the night benefitted i-tri, a local organization supporting body positivity and confidence for adolescent girls. You launched The Wing less than two years ago, and you now have thousands of members and four locations. How do you explain its resonance? Our mission has always been twofold: to provide a physical space designed with women’s needs in mind, and to empower women through an engaged, supportive community. This type of multipurpose space for women hasn’t really existed before. Our concept and design, the amenities and resources, and our programming are all intentionally created with women in mind, and I think that, along with our incredible sense of community, resonates with women. How have you “marketed” The Wing? Our members are our marketers! We’re so proud to have such a diverse and passionate community here at The Wing who proclaim their affiliation with the

space with pride. What kinds of curated experiences are Wing members looking for? The Wing’s members are incredibly engaged with our programming. We take a very editorial approach to curating our calendar of events, based on members’ interests, as well as issues and organizations we want to amplify. We try to offer a mix of professional, social, and hands-on events. For The Wing’s Beach Bungalow event specifically, we were excited to offer Wing members, the Platinum Collective, Card Members, and guests an intimate atmosphere complete with an immersive, seated culinary experience that allowed guests to connect with one another. Can you tell us more about your partnership with Amex? The Wing has a multi-year partnership with American Express where we join forces to bring to life experiences and offerings as part of our shared commitment to support women and girls from all different backgrounds and advance their personal or professional pursuits through the power of community.

We already know where our customers are and how they’re spending, so for us, we ask ourselves: How can we add real value and create elevated and exclusive experiences for our Card Members?

With amy marino, american express Can you give us a sense of the scope of your responsibilities? I lead a cross-functional team focused on supporting experiential marketing, brand and talent partnerships, and customer experience in service of Premium Cards and Benefits at American Express. My team led experiential for the 2017 relaunch of Platinum Card, including the formation of The Platinum Collective, an advisory group of thought leaders and creative thinkers across key Card Member passion areas. We work closely with them to inform and curate unique experiences for Platinum Card Members. All our partnerships are built out of a mutual interest in connecting with one another’s audiences while offering Card Members a relevant, differentiated experience. Why are experiences so valued by Card Members? As a company focused on building long-term relationships with our customers, experiences are highly effective at creating direct, meaningful relationships. When we relaunched the iconic Platinum Card last year—with a new metal form factor and with updated, modern benefits—we made sure to put experience at the core. There were two main reasons for this. One, we wanted to modernize the way we approach Platinum experiences and make them

problem while we’re doing it. What drew American Express Platinum to Audrey Gelman and The Wing? The Wing’s mission to promote the advancement of women through community resonated strongly with us. It was evident immediately that Audrey’s approach to creating opportunities for women by curating conversations and spaces for connection would be a valuable one to consider as we develop our Card Member experiences. What's next in terms of events with other members of the Platinum Collective? We have key touchpoints throughout the year, including events, partnerships, meetings, and brainstorms. We’re seeing a lot of success by enabling this community to collaborate with
each other. On the horizon, we have a celebratory weekend with The Knot, their EIC and Platinum Collective member, Kristen Maxwell Cooper, and a group of engaged influencers in the Hamptons. Are you a Wing member? I’m a proud Wing woman! I attempt to work from The Wing once a week to get outside of the office and get some external perspective. My team at American Express is currently comprised of all incredible women, so it’s great to be able to invite them there for offsites and meetings. It’s also a beautiful space to meet with our female Platinum Collective members and other partners. What are some of the other experiences that you’re working on these days? There are a number of exciting experiences for Card Members coming
up in 2018. We have a few things brewing during New York Fashion Week, as well as the introduction of our first international Platinum House in the months to come. How are you and your team evolving Platinum’s digital strategy? In digital especially, we have the opportunity to be hyper-personalized, and digital can a great companion to a live experience, because we can serve you messages about places to go, things to do, offers from our merchant partners that can make American Express an essential part of a customer’s decision-making journey. We also tap into digital and social media to amplify our experiences to a much broader population of customers and prospects, extending its life cycle beyond just the physical event.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in science, a master’s in naturopathy and nutrition, and a PhD in oxidative stress. I’m also doing another master’s degree at the moment in functional medicine and nutrition. How did you team up with Elle Macpherson? When Elle was approaching 50, she came to see me at my Harley Street clinic in London called Rejuv. She was referred to me by a friend of hers who I had helped on her successful cancer journey. Elle was feeling out of balance, craving sugar, gaining weight, and feeling out of control. After running numerous tests, I discovered that Elle had surprisingly high acid levels, her hormones were out of
balance, and her cortisol (which acts like a fat magnet when we get too stressed) was too high. She was also low in vitamins and minerals. To counteract the negative effects, I gave her a selection of my organic, whole-food supplements to take daily to balance all her 11 systems. Three weeks later, she walked into my clinic in her leather skinny jeans looking amazing! I remember thinking, “Now that is Elle Macpherson!” Her skin was glowing, she was radiant, and she looked like a totally different person. It was as if a cloud had lifted. I will never forget Elle turning over her shoulder as she was leaving my office and casually saying to me, “Can you take all these products and formulate one powder for me that I can take each day?” To me, that is how Super Elixir Greens was born—45 whole-food plant-based synergistic ingredients—the ultimate nutritional foundation product

that I now recommend to all my patients. What was the concept behind the signature product? When I accepted Elle’s challenge, I had already been formulating supplements for many years, so I went right back to basics—that we are all biologically unique and what common ground I could formulate such an elixir from. I went back to my naturopathic and functional nutrition roots to create a formula that not only provided the body with the essential ingredients it needed, but also supported the body on a functional level. I often use the analogy of how you wouldn’t drive a car for 40–50 years without having the engine serviced, so why do we expect the same of our bodies, which are far more high-tech? This is why many people don’t get well. It is both the fuel and the function that needs to be incorporated for optimum health. Super Elixir Greens is a plantbased, whole-food nutritional formula that supports all the body’s 11 systems and provides all the vital vitamins, minerals, and trace elements one needs on a daily basis. It helps reduce acidic waste linked to inflammation, low energy, weight gain, and accelerated aging at a cellular level. By reducing acid-forming foods and replacing them with nutrientpacked fruits and vegetables, the body can easily rid itself of toxins and allow the digestive system and liver to rest and recuperate. So it’s quite simple—eat more plants, fewer animals, and take two teaspoons of Super Elixir Greens every day. We know that it is impossible to be

100 percent alkaline all the time. The body is in a constant state of flux, but if you live a balanced life and eat and live clean on weekdays and have a little fun on weekends, your immune system is supported and your toxic load is kept in check. If you do let your hair down, simply take an extra two teaspoons of Super Elixir before you go out to give your body all it needs to mop up any toxins from the night ahead. What makes the formulation so unique? At WelleCo, we choose plant-based organic ingredients that help your body heal and repair from inflammation caused by modern living. When formulating the 45 ingredients, I ensured that they would synergistically work well together to create an accelerated effect. What are its most powerful ingredients? Super Elixir Greens contains 45 wholefood ingredients, including powerful supergreens barley grass, wheatgrass, alfalfa, spinach, and spirulina. All are nutritional powerhouses that help to balance the acidity in your skin and the alkalinity in your blood. When that balance is achieved, your skin holds moisture and your cells function properly, giving you that alkaline glow. The herb horsetail helps in maintaining strong hair, skin, and nails; dandelion helps support liver function; and when maitake and shiitake mushrooms are combined, they help maintain the immune system. I added pro- and prebiotics to support the digestive system; and acai, pomegranate, grapeseed, and rosehip powders, which
are high in antioxidant properties; and vitamin A to help promote healthy skin elasticity, support healthy skin, and combat effects of aging, including pigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. What are the primary benefits of an alkaline- and plant-based diet? Good health tends to flourish in an alkaline environment, and disease seems to thrive in an acidic environment. The more acidic you are, the more you will crave junk foods and feel more tired and sluggish all the time. All our body’s 11 systems work with a delicate balance between acid and alkaline. In the early stages of imbalance, symptoms are mild, such as skin eruptions, headaches, sinus, allergies, and a weak immune system. As these imbalances become more prominent, serious diseases can occur. How do you incorporate the Super Elixir into your everyday regime? Simply add two teaspoons daily with one cup of filtered or coconut water, or in a green juice or smoothie. Shake to combine, or blitz in a blender. Ensure to consume immediately after making, and an hour on either side of caffeine, as this can prevent the body from absorbing its potent ingredients properly. What do you like about working with Elle? I love Elle’s honest, candid, and no-fuss nature. She’s a brilliant businesswoman and truly lives the dream of a clean balanced lifestyle. Elle is one of my easiest clients—she’s super smart, asks the why’s and how’s, and once she understands it’s good for her, she does it. It’s that simple!

“Effortless hair for brunch is a must. You can add braids, do a bun, wear accessories—there are no rules. It’s Sunday Funday!” HOW TO: 1. Apply John Frieda Frizz Ease Curl Reviver Mousse to wet hair, working from roots to ends. Blow-dry hair or diffuse curls dry, making sure the end result is effortless and deconstructed. 2. Take a 1 1/4-inch to 1 1/2-inch curling iron and start going over one-inch sections of hair. Wrap pieces in alternating directions for a beachy, effortless look, ensuring the curl/ wave pattern isn’t the same throughout your head.

How did you end up in real estate? I practiced law for almost three years. I had always been interested in real estate, but I was kind of scared to leave a job at a law firm to start selling. Then, I left the firm to do a short stint consulting for The Apprentice, and when that was up, I felt like if I was ever going to try it, that was the time. Did you have any apprehensions about making a big leap? The whole “eat what you kill” thing was scary, but I felt like I would be good at it, and I thought I would enjoy it, so I decided to take a chance. Real estate was always kind of in my blood. As a little
kid, I loved to go to open houses. I always loved architecture and décor, too. The thing I loved the most about practicing law was the transactional nature of the work, and all those things kind of play into real estate. It’s not like my business was spectacular from the get-go; it was a slow start. I was not rookie of the year or anything like that. But I worked hard, and over time grew a business from one referral to the next. You have a home in Sag Harbor. What were you looking for when it came time to find a place of your own out East?

I have friends who have beautiful, new homes, and I like that, but for my own home, I like old, charming, and quirky. I also wanted something that was in or close to a village.

Buyers are drawn to the idea of a holistic retreat—a beautiful apartment, as well as a calming home within the larger building itself. The city is so rough-andtumble, and in some ways, it’s gotten harder. It’s not an easy place, regardless of how much money you have, and you want a home that feels like a retreat. What neighborhoods are hot right now, and which will be the next big thing? Anywhere downtown or on the West Side. West Chelsea, Tribeca, West Village—all those areas will continue to
be amazingly hot. I think the next big neighborhood will continue to be on the West Side—West Chelsea pushing out farther north into Hell’s Kitchen. How do you spend your downtime? Definitely out in Sag Harbor, usually having dinner with friends. As a kid, my dad and I did everything outside, so now, I love gardening. So much of what we do in the city is sitting on the phone, thinking, and negotiating—we don’t do much with our hands. It’s peaceful and relaxing for me to go out and plant something. You can actually see what you’ve done! I love going to Marders or East Hampton Gardens.
Did you work with a local landscape architect? Yes! We don’t have a huge property, but Joe Cornetta has meticulously relandscaped every square inch. He did a beautiful job. How would you characterize the vibe in Sag Harbor? In some ways I think it’s more authentic, and open to everyone. It’s very artistic, and everyone is obviously happy to have such a diverse community. Even when you go off-season, there are a lot of locals. You see the same people at the restaurants all year round!

Between selling the home of a fashion power player and sharing the last name of her famous designer cousin, you can take the girl out of fashion, but you can’t take the fashion out of the girl. Saunders & Associates broker Nancy Mizrahi fill us in on her unique approach to finding your dream home. by eddie roche photography by hannah turner-Harts FA S H I O N W E E K D A I LY. C O M
What’s your background? I grew up in Brooklyn, which was great, but when I went out on my own I ended up in Manhattan. I worked in the fashion industry in New York in sales and marketing in the luxury end of the industry. My last full-time position was president of Walter Steiger Shoes’ wholesale division, and from there I freelanced with brands such as Lanvin, Ralph Rucci, and Oscar de la Renta before transitioning into real estate in the early 2000s. Once I did that, I realized that I had found what I wanted to do. How did you get involved in selling in the Hamptons? My husband, Michael Burns, is a real estate developer and custom builder. We
started vacationing in the summer in the Hamptons, and then one summer he decided to purchase and develop some land in Sagaponack. It was then that I met Andrew Saunders, who was my husband’s real estate broker at the time, and he encouraged me to get my real estate license. The rest is history! Why is buying in the Hamptons still so desirable? It’s just so beautiful here. When you think about it, the people who have the means to be anywhere in the world at any time choose to come here and buy here, and I think it has to do with the physical beauty of the place. It’s serene, and it always will be because all of us do what we can to protect it and improve it.
What’s your best advice for people looking to buy in the Hamptons? Decide early on what’s important to you. Perhaps it’s being near a specific town, or proximity to the water. Once you determine that, you’ll always be able to find a home that’s perfect for you and your family. How has the market changed over the years? The overall demand and awareness of the Hamptons. Thanks to the Internet, the whole world now knows about the Hamptons, which brings buyers from all over. One thing that certainly has not changed is the beauty and appeal of this magical place. I’ve never known anybody who has ever said, “I’m really glad I didn’t buy in the Hamptons.”

ready for them as soon as they purchase it.”
What do buyers seem to be asking for? It really depends on one’s personality, but major trends are the desire for new construction and open floor plans. People aren’t as interested in renovating as they used to be—they want a house that is ready for them as soon as they purchase it. What are some of the homes you have on the market today? I have several, and they all are amazing. Something of note is 40 Fresh Pond Lane in Southampton, which is owned by the fashion icon [President, IMG Models & IMG Fashion Properties] Ivan Bart. The home is special and sits right on the water. Another is 12 Sandown Court in Wainscott. This property is a brand-new construction at a compelling price; it’s beautifully built. I also have 47 Masefield Close in Sagaponack, which is another new construction project near the ocean that’s bordering a reserve. Sagaponack is one of these special places, where every home is almost like a piece of artwork. I have several others; you can view all of them at nancymizrahi.com. What makes your approach unique? Honesty and integrity is what I’m all about. I like to really dig deep into each home that I represent and know everything about the property so that any interested buyer has answers to any questions that they may have immediately. I spend a lot of time working with homeowners to get a clear
picture of what can be done and what cannot be done to their existing home so that I can convey honestly the potential of a home as an investment. I make sure that I’m always available for my clients and customers for anything that they need and have a large team behind me to make sure that all marketing, photos, videos, brochures, and print and digital ads are effective and accurate. Describe a day of house hunting with you. It’s great! We meet in the morning to go over the plan for the day, and we check out each home. I love watching customers light up when they see a home they love. What do you love about your job? Meeting new people who become lifelong friends. It’s rewarding finding the right home for a customer and turning their dream into a reality. How do you spend your downtime? I like spending it with friends and family, either at the beach, entertaining at home, or going out to dinner. Oh, and taking advantage of cultural events at Guild Hall and Bay Street Theatre! What are your favorite stores in the Hamptons? There really isn’t a store here that I don’t like! I like all of the small specialty shops. You have a pretty recognizable last name. Any relation to Isaac? Yes, he’s my cousin. I get that question all the time!

report Saunders & Associates’ Christopher Covert left behind a career in entertainment to dive into a new passion. He tells The Daily Summer what new buyers should be looking for and why he loves life on the East End.
What’s your background? I was raised in New York City in the late ’60s, and then after college in Virginia, I spent 20-plus years in the film, TV, and music businesses, shuttling between California and New York. For a lot of that time, I was a music supervisor on feature films. It was a fun lifestyle. I got married 10 years ago, and we had our first daughter while living in Malibu. My wife and I looked at each other and realized that we’re both East Coasters and moved back to New York City and bought a house in Bridgehampton. I already had the real estate bug from doing a project in Malibu. Once we got settled in New York, I began transitioning to Hamptons real estate, and we eventually pulled the plug on the city and moved out here full-time. What films did you work on? A lot of independent films. Some of the more well-known were the stoner cult classic Super Troopers, You Can Count On Me, All the Pretty Horses, and American Psycho. FA S H I O N W E E K D A I LY.

Do you still have a strong interest in music? Do you listen to it in the car? When I’m in the car, I’m on the phone. My work days starts when I open my eyes and every minute is spent working, especially this year. It’s that kind of business. That being said, I still love music. I hit 50 and I stopped trying to keep up with what’s what. I know what I know and I like it. Every now and again, my daughters, who are 6 and 7, are telling me about a great new song, which is hysterical. My playlist is what it was and what it shall be. There’s a YouTube clip of a Chris Covert doing the “Childbirth” song. Is that you? Hell, no! The only thing you’re going to find on YouTube is a video of a real estate bio. It involves no singing and no “Childbirth” song. I’m glad we clarified this. Let’s talk real estate! What do you think you bring to the table?

family there, so I totally get where the majority of our buyers are coming from. I dig into whatever I’m doing. While I’ve only been in real estate for five years, I’ve spent more than 20 years running a business. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time learning everything I know, such as codes, zoning, and building regulations. I understand design and architecture as well. The majority of our buyers and sellers can relate, and appreciate that. What’s your best advice for first-time buyers? We’ve seen this trend where buyers have all this information aggregated into these websites like Zillow, and there’s a tendency to think that people are going to get a better deal if they go straight to a listing agent because they have all the information in front of them. But there are so many subtleties to the Hamptons market that you can’t find on these sites. My No. 1 piece of advice would be to find a broker that you like and you can trust. Work with one agent. Unless you’re planning on spending every weekend out here driving around for months looking and hoping for a great deal, you’re setting yourself up for failure. The agents out here really try to work on everyone’s behalf to make this a seamless process. There is a process here that works. What do your buyers seem to be asking for lately? Discounts! I’m dead serious. The exception is where something is priced exceptionally well or is an incredibly rare property that can’t be matched. Beyond that, they want new, turn-key, and easy. Why go through the headaches of doing a lot of work? People work too hard in the city every day. They want to come out and literally turn on the lights and enjoy the weekend. What are some of the listings you have on the market now? Over the past couple of years, I’ve been focused on waterfront properties. I’ve put a ton of time in learning about

everything from FEMA to building zones to the conservation department. The layers that go into waterfront [development] can be intimidating. I’ve spent a lot of time educating myself and learning from some of the best about those layers. Right now, I have four on the market. They’re all listed for around $10 million. It’s a rarefied part of the market. About 80 percent of our business is still in the $2 million and under market. To be successful out here,
you have to be well versed in all price points and able to work with buyers and sellers of every price point. Why do you think the Hamptons is so desirable? At the end of the day, the Hamptons is always going to be the Hamptons. Beyond its proximity to the city and all the fun and glamour of the summer, homeowners are realizing this is a yearround destination. Now, restaurants are open year-round. People are keeping
their houses open and spending their holidays here. You don’t get that with other luxury destinations. Where do you live Out East? We’re still in Bridgehampton, which we love. To us, it’s the epicenter of the Hamptons. It’s relaxed but chic. We’re surrounded by horse farms and vineyards. What do you do on your day off ? What’s a day off?

How did you initially team up? Bonita DeWolf: I had been trying to get Tracey to come work with me for years. We have been friends for about 20 years, and I was licensed a few years before Tracey. Once she got her license, I kept asking her to come work with me. Finally, in 2014, she came to the Corcoran Group. We team up on listings together, but we usually work with our own buyers and renters. Tracey Holmes: I was at Douglas Elliman for many years, and then moved to the Carolinas, where I worked as a developer. Once I moved back to the Hamptons, I said, “Now’s the time. Let’s do it!” What are your professional backgrounds? DeWolf: I worked for a few years running a music book club, and then I worked in investment banking in NYC. I’ve been in real estate now for just over 24 years.
Bonita DeWolf and Tracey Holmes
Holmes: Fresh out of graduate school, I started as a steel importer for a Japanese conglomerate in Los Angeles. I moved to New York City in my late twenties and went on to work on Wall Street, specializing in trading metals as a commodity broker. How did you end up in the Hamptons? DeWolf: It was a bit of a lark for me. I was married and had a baby. My husband said, “Let’s try living out of the city for a year.” One year turned to two. One baby turned into two kids and then, once I got divorced, I found East Hampton to be a wonderful, safe community to raise two children as a single mom. Holmes: My family had a summer home in Southampton for most of my life, so I’ve been coming out here forever. Like Bonita, my husband wanted out of the city after our first child. Then we stayed!
What are your greatest strengths? DeWolf: We focus on different things. I am more oriented toward contacts and deals. Tracey is good with the interiors of a house. She has flipped houses in the Carolinas, where she went to live for a few years, whereas I have lived in the same house now for more than 20 years, on the same street I moved to and took a rental house 26 years ago. We can definitely play good cop, bad cop.… Tracey is not shy about telling a client exactly what they need to do to make their house look better to show! Holmes: For me, this business is all about the people I interact with. My business is at least 85 percent referrals. A lot of my listings come from clients I helped out along the way with their rentals, or came over to consult with years before they decide to put their house on the market

I always tell my clients that I am not in it for the short-term gain—it’s all about the long-term relationships. Which areas or types of properties do you specialize in? DeWolf: Although I will work with anyone’s house I get on with, my favorite place to be is the ocean, and I have been lucky enough to sell a number of oceanfront houses in Amagansett. I just sold two oceanfront houses in June on the same street! A long-term client who I have done six oceanfront deals with sold his house on June 1, and then he bought back on the same street on June 29! We have worked together for 20 years. Usually he buys land and develops a new house, but this time we are working together on a renovation project he purchased, which is exciting. We also have a charming new listing on Little Peconic Bay that has dead-on sunset views across to the North Fork. It’s very romantic at night, and there is so much fun during the day because you can paddleboard, kayak, swim right outside your door…and even anchor your boat! Holmes: I work a lot with Hamptons newbies, helping them to find just the right fit for their first Hamptons getaway. I do a lot of big-brand corporate rentals as well. I have found housing for the staff of EMP Summer House for the past two years, and I have also worked with American Express and BMW. Which areas are especially hot? DeWolf: Amagansett is coming into its own. It has always been the most affordable place to be close to the ocean—and everything south of the Highway is basically close to the ocean as it’s so narrow. In January 2003, I sold a house on the ocean in Amagansett for $5,500,000. It was the most expensive sale ever in Amagansett, and then it was quickly eclipsed. I think a lot of buyers are recognizing that they might have to drive a little farther to get to Amagansett but once they’ve arrived, life can be very chill, and it’s a great starting point to launch to the restaurants in Montauk or the scene in East Hampton. Holmes: Villages farther west, like Quogue and Westhampton, are hot right now. I’ve had a few recent buyers shift

BONITA and TRACEY’S EAST END MUSTS Restaurants DeWolf: Bostwick’s has been a favorite for so many years. The Palm and East Hampton Grill have the best bar scenes! Holmes: EMP Summer House. Beaches DeWolf: Maidstone Park and Gerard Drive are great off-thebeaten-path gems. Holmes: I Iove Gerard Drive and Atlantic Beach in Amagansett. Shops DeWolf: Gloria Jewel. The owner has amazing taste. She has the best jeans and you can often find really nice dresses there for great prices. Ice Cream Shops DeWolf: Ha! For my one ice cream a year, it’s got to be the blueberry ice cream at Candy Kitchen in Bridgehampton. Holmes: BuddhaBerry in Sag Harbor. Fitness Spots DeWolf: We are incredibly lucky to have some of the best yoga studios in the country here— Mandala Yoga in Amagansett, Yoga Shanti in Sag Harbor, and Hamptons Hot Yoga in Bridgehampton.

in that direction for an easier trip out from the city, lower taxes, and pricing. The Springs continues to be a hot market as well. What is your best advice for clients looking to purchase a second home in the Hamptons for the first time? DeWolf: Get to know the different areas first! Don’t listen to your friends. If all your friends are in East Hampton, but you are curious about Sag Harbor, go and spend the day there, walk around, sit outside, and see if you like the vibe. Favorite waterfront areas? DeWolf: Besides the ocean beach, I am a huge fan of the bays and the harbor. I drop my paddleboard in at the top of Hands Creek Road, and paddle across the harbor, stop in at Harbor Bistro or Moby’s, and then paddle back before sunset. We did this the other day. A delightful young man at
Moby’s wanted to make us a specialty pizza to take home and we were like, “Well, can we take a rain check? We’re on paddleboards!” The staff was so surprised. Holmes: Sammy’s Beach is one of my alltime favorites for walking my dogs and for launching a paddleboard. How do you spend your downtime? DeWolf: I always love to be on the water; either swimming, boarding, or going out on my friend’s boat. Taking a day trip to Block Island is so much fun! I also take my dog to the Springs Park as often as I can. We are so lucky to have one of the largest dog parks in the entire country. It’s a place where they can roam free in a fully gated environment. Holmes: The water’s one of the main reasons we’re here. Whether it’s swimming, paddleboarding, walking the beaches, or boating, it’s all about the water.
