FROM THE EDITOR

The story of the Argyle Pink diamond is almost as captivating as the rare gem itself.

The legend of the Argyle Pink diamond will leave its mark on the imagination of those that treasure eternal beauty.

Argyle Pink Diamond necklace comprised of 16 graduated round Argyle Fancy Intense Pink Diamonds complimented by colorless white diamonds, all set in platinum. Price upon request.

FROM THE EDITOR

Getting Social

WILLIAM TAUFIC

Welcome to Greenwich Affair, a special issue of greenwich magazine that’s dedicated to all things social. From galas and luncheons to everything in between, one thing is for sure—you are a social bunch. And you wear it well.

In “All Dressed Up” (page 10) we celebrate your philanthropic style by highlighting some of the best looks we’ve spotted over the past year. In these pages Market Editor Megan Gagnon uses her fashionable eye to comment on what makes them work so well. And in our “Social Year in Review” sections, Social Editor, Ali Gray recaps some of the biggest events that rocked tents and clubs around town. This roundup reminds us that for all of its glitz and glamour, the social scene is about more than just a great party. It’s about making a difference in the lives of others. We know of few other towns that raise the millions that Greenwich does.

Looking back over the past year is certainly fun, but looking way back can be even more fun. In “The Way We Were” (page 102) our quick-witted duo—Founding Editor Donna Moffly and Art Director Garvin Burke—give us an entertaining walk down memory lane with a review of vintage ads that graced the pages of our original title, The Greenwich Social Review. Old Greenwich waterfront for $125,000, anyone? In “Making Room” (page 94) Suzanne Gannon takes us into glam homes that are a far cry from that price tag. Here, the designers’ styles vary, but their goal is clearly the same— creating livable spaces with big personality.

And of course, there are the luxuries every fashion magazine must have: jaw-dropping gems, glam purses, over-the-top shoes (“High Society,” page 62) as well as stunning gowns and statement pieces for your wardrobe (“Unstoppable Style,” page 24).

Finally, to make sure we know what to do with all of our fashionable finds, we peek into the latest collaboration between ever-colorful style expert Carson Kressley and our veteran lifestyle writer Riann Smith. In an excerpt from Does This Book Make My Butt Look Big? (page 54), the pair offer packing tips for the globe-trotter, highlight must-have style apps, bust old-school fashion myths and lay down the golden rules for a well-edited closet. Don’t worry, they don’t take any of it too seriously.

We hope you enjoy the issue and look forward to seeing you out and about on the scene. After all, every Greenwich benefit is an affair to remember.

SHRUG IT OFF

MOFFLY MEDIA’S BIG PICTURE/KYLE NORTON

Lori Feldman is heating up any seasonal chill in this evening look.

The sleek chignon, luxurious wrap, stunning dress and metallic accessories can all be summed up in one word: fabulous.

SHEER GENIUS From afar, Jieun Wax’s lilac stunner appears to be a formal wear version of a bandeau and high-waisted skirt combo. Upon closer inspection, we see the brilliance of this gown lies in the nude illusion panels holding the two pieces together.

GATSBY GARB Katie Flaherty gives the Roaring ’20s a modern update with intricate metallic pleats, a rhinestone belt, ruby lips and Old Hollywood hair.

We raise our glass to anyone who opts for a dress that coordinates so well with her champagne.

K C A BL C I G MA Addin

Joan Panagos knows that you can’t go wrong with a slimming column gown, but she takes her look to the next level by adding a statement collar necklace with serious sparkle.

SNAKE CHARMER Felicity Kostakis played her Bond girl role to perfection, with a nod to Bulgari’s iconic Serpenti collection.

The metallic python detailing is only fitting for a femme fatale.

TRIPLE THREAT

OFF THE GRID The asymmetric pattern of shimmering graphite cutouts on Wendy Stapleton Reyes’ dress creates an abstract version of overscale crocodile print.

It’s no wonder she snapped up the attention of partygoers that night.

One concept; three ways to prove that a long black dress will always be a party favorite. With a take on the one-shoulder look, Giovanna Miller worked diagonal ruching to flattering effect, while Jill Stamos knew the best way to show off her patent peep-toes was opting for an unexpected center slit.

And for Sarah O’Connor, playing up her V-neckline was as simple as adding bold chandelier earrings.

FASHION REVIEW

E U L B H S U R C ection of ll o c r u o y l u erha e Ready to ov mething blu o s r fo t p O LBDs?

Michael and Sandra Caruso are quite the polished couple, but Sandra’s eyecatching cerulean sheath might be the true star here.

The boat neckline and peekaboo cutout create a subtle way to show some skin.

SPARKLE & SHINE

LAPIS & LACE

Mary Rolla, Sabrina Raquet and Jennifer Seidel are picture-perfect at Greenwich Hospital’s Ocean Gala. With a mix of floral prints and metallic shine, all three blue-eyed beauties manage to show off a well-balanced mix of marine tones.

Rhonda Vetere, here with Jeff Holzschuh, reminds us why we love lace in bright shades, in this case, a bold royal hue. The fluttering sleeves are a welcome contrast to an otherwise fitted cut.

Hal and Glenn Shaw are all smiles, and we can guess why. Glenn is sporting the best accessory to her crisscross cobalt gown—a baby bump!

JEWEL TONE We’re guessing Diana Betteridge had more than one bauble to choose from to complement this satin sapphire number, but the simple earrings and matching necklace show off the color beautifully.

EASY EVENING Tina Widmer— in formal separates by Katie Fong— makes the case for ditching the dress code altogether and opting for pants. The pooling silhouette of wide-leg silk trousers pairs easily with the more traditional navy lace top; a smart styling trick that’s effortlessly chic. g r e e n w i c h a f fa i r

IN BLOOM Claudia Gerola, here with Chris von Koschembahr, shows us how plum can sometimes be ripe for the picking. The gold accessories and earrings make the metallic flowers shine even brighter.

RAINBOW BRIGHTS Nina Lindia, Gia Burton, Julie Ward and Cheryl Floyd are not afraid to let their colors show, and we love their collective mix of prints and solids in highlighter hues. All four show their love for pink, but Cheryl takes it one fun step further with rosy hair.

ISLAND TIME Janet Delos and Jenni Salinas are vacation-ready in their tropical prints and resort ruffles. The bright orange shades accentuate their fresh-from-the-beach glow.

Carina Crain’s flash of fluorescent lace is courtesy of Christopher Kane, and we’re all about his cheeky take on the otherwise demure fabric.

Adding a bolt of neon is always sure to create buzz. g r e e n w i c h a f fa i r

FASHION REVIEW

G N I T T E G C I H P A R G

Some things look better in ite black & wh

Maria Casabianca is the best model for the clothes she offers at Bianca Boutique in Westport. No doubt anything she wears—and especially this polished look— inspires her shoppers to want the same.

Colleen deVeer’s fit-and-flare number was made for twirling on the dance floor.

She adds even more fun with a glittering clutch.

CHIC ALL OVER

CLASSIC COUPLING

Ginger Stickel adheres to the foolproof formula, but the pairing feels modern for a black tie event. The ball gown skirt with halter top makes for another winning combo.

Patricia Espinosa shows us winter white done right.

A mod textural top works with the leather skirt and opaque tights to create a minimalist but sharp ensemble.

A shirtdress is as much a closet staple as your favorite white button down (just ask Carolina Herrera). We’re guessing Alexandra Friedman’s belted maxi version served her well, all the way through Labor Day.

LAYER UP CONTEMPORARY COOL The Glass House always draws a chic crowd and Polina Proshkina proved to be no exception. Her blush accessories, dress with pockets, and Valentino sandals are picnic-perfect.

Margot’s breezy frock—cleverly matched to her platinum locks— is the ultimate summer dress.

The simple tiered ruffles and fitted silhouette are ideal for an outdoor event.

OSCAR MATERIAL We’d bet Kathleen Finlay and Janine Kennedy’s husbands both felt like winners showing up with these statuesque beauties. Kathleen sizzles in satin while Janine gets her glint from intricate beadwork in a Deco design.

GODDESS DRESSING Grecian draping lends balance to Mary Grace Hick’s shimmering gown. The only thing shining brighter than her dress and glittering earrings is her megawatt smile.

HINT OF GLINT

ALL THAT GLITTERS

Marcy Maguire’s frock combines bright citrus, powder blue, black and gold, all in a playful chevron pattern.

An anklelength full skirt completes the package on the ultimate party dress.

As if the full-length sequins were not enough, Whitney Rosenberg and Becky Conelias grabbed attention by choosing moody chrome and envy-inducing green; colors that stood out in a sea of black and gold.

GLOW ON The gemstone embroidery on Lynne Scalo’s Alice + Olivia dress eliminates the need for any competing jewelry. We’re loving the copper tones with her golden locks and sleek black pumps.

Eleni Henkel is giving us simple elegance with a modern twist by pairing a cream Azzedine Alaïa dress with Valentino’s Rockstud ankle strap pumps and a showstopping statement necklace.

DESERT MODERN Cristina Lake, Barbara Erdmann and Stephanie Trotta have stepped out of a Ralph Lauren ad with their collective mix of chic Western wear. The Navajo prints, camel suede and silver accents all blend seamlessly with their range of cream pieces.

WRAPPER’S DELIGHT Joan Thakor and Nancy Ozizmir prove that cozy does not have to look sloppy. With warm and fuzzy cover-ups in shades of caramel and blush, they’re ready to go from the chalet to cocktail hour.

MATT ALBIANI

Oh, how times have changed. Today we welcome melodramatic housewives, backstabbing real estate tycoons, judgey interior decorators and so many other, ahem, colorful characters into our lives.

Thirteen years ago these table-flipping, dramaloving friends were just a gleam in the proverbial eye of the cable industry. Enter the provocative (at the time) series Queer Eye For the Straight Guy. The show premiered on a little-known station called Bravo and featured five gay guys doling out advice to their fashionably challenged straight brethren. The team was led by the dynamic, sarcastic diva-with-a-heart Carson Kressley. Queer Eye aired for five seasons and is widely credited with putting Bravo on the map.

Carson went on to host numerous shows, star in his own reality show and launch a line of sportswear and accessories. (Most recently he made his Greenwich debut as the funny and fabulous MC at the annual Breast Cancer Alliance luncheon.) Our writer Riann Smith, who has contributed to greenwich magazine’s pages for years on topics ranging from fashion to health to family, recently teamed up with Carson to coauthor Does This Book Make My Butt Look Big?. The pair offer up their irreverent and funny advice with one goal—to make you even more fabulous. We hope you love this look into what the dynamic duo has created.

This Is So Not Appropriate (or is it?)

NO MATTER WHERE YOU’RE HEADED OR WHAT OCCASION YOUR DESTINATION CALLS FOR, FASHION ETIQUETTE HAS SHIFTED FROM WHAT YOU PROBABLY HEARD GROWING UP. AND IF ANYONE’S UP FOR BUCKING THE BIGGIES, IT’S MOI

FASHION SHOULD BE FUN !

Carson dishes on all things fashion and style.

“You Can’t Wear White Before Memorial Day/ After Labor Day!”

“No Open-Toe Shoes After Labor Day!”

MODERN REBOOT: If it’s a basic like a pair of white jeans, you can ride ’em through September and wear them again in spring. And you know those creamy white wool pants and sweaters that Michael Kors does so well? Those can go all through the winter, too. It’s only those full-on summer white bottoms and white dresses that you want to save for summer.

Louboutin and all the other great shoe gurus, your posh piggies may shine year-round. Wearing open-toe is a way of keeping things a little sexier but still demure enough to wear to work and appropriate in every season. Unless you’re shoveling your driveway, the open-toe look can work in the winter if it’s in a cool-weather material, like a suede strappy sandal with wool trousers.

MODERN REBOOT: According to Christian

“You Must Wear a Suit to a Job Interview!”

“You Must Wear All Black to a Funeral!”

MODERN REBOOT: You want to look polished,

MODERN REBOOT: It doesn’t have to be

but if you feel more “you” in a great blouse and cigarette pants than a typical suit, follow your instincts. In the media and creative worlds, a suit might even look too uptight. If you feel pressured to don one, don’t go totally androgynous.

Add a leopard-print heel or a snakeskin belt to give your suit a little swagger.

black; it can be the darker hues of charcoal gray, navy, and dark brown. You want it to be quiet and respectful, so no large prints. But you don’t need to look like the Sicilian grandma in the latest Dolce & Gabbana campaign.

“You Can’t Have Long Hair After Forty!”

Copyright © 2016

by Carson Kressley and reprinted by permission of St. Martin’s Griffin.

“You Can’t Wear White or Ivory to a Wedding!”

MODERN REBOOT: Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Garner, Julianne Moore, Kyle Richards, Penelope Cruz and SJP would say au contraire. I’m not advocating following Crystal Gayle (who I happen to adore) down the Rapunzel path, but thick, healthy locks skimming your mid-back is always stylish. Forty is the new twentyeight anyway. Just avoid scrunchies, headbands, and hair combs at all costs. g r e e n w i c h a f fa i r

MODERN REBOOT: While it’s never a good idea to wear solid white or ivory, you can certainly get away with wearing a dress that has a white or ivory background if the non-white print is the dominant factor. Some color-block designs rely on panels of white to neutralize a harsh black or candy-bright dress, and that’s totally kosher.

NOT-SO-SERIOUS GUIDE TO STYLE

Packing Tricks from a Red-Eye Whiz I TRAVEL BETWEEN COASTS SO FREQUENTLY, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY I’M NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE. (THOUGH I DO STILL GET EXCITED BY SAID AIRLINE’S GOOD LIGHTING, YUMMY SNACKS, AND BIZARRE SWEDISH DOCUMENTARIES ABOUT BOILING WOOL.) HERE’S WHAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE SCORING FREQUENT-FLIER MILES

Have an Agenda

(like a straightjacket . . . which I know absolutely nothing about). Fold each half vertically into the center, fold in half horizontally, and flip. Caveat: With items that crease easily, like linen and rayon, I have better luck sushi-rolling them.

I used to pack everything, à la, There might be a maharaja party; better bring my bedazzled turban! Now I actually write down every lunch, dinner, awards ceremony, horse show, and work activity I’ll attend, then pack only one option for each occasion. No choices, no extra weight. Like making room for a good meal, I’d rather my suitcase stay lean and put on weight from a shopping spree in my destination city. Don’t even get me started on duty-free binges.

Be Comfortably Chic On the roulette wheel of fabulous flight mates, I’m usually seated beside one of three types: entertainment executive, rock ’n’ roller, or Aussie en route to New York. My last flight involved category three, and her name was Heather, or as she introduced herself, “Hith-AH.” She wore an ivory cashmere sweater, a white enamel Hermes bracelet, and for a nonjeans surprise, ticking stripe, high-waisted dungarees and rugged taupe booties. She incorporated a hint of the unexpected, but was still totally together. Or should I say, “togith-AH.”

Pack Your Greatest Hits I always Google the weather when packing and assemble my hit list from there. Mine is often a white button-down, a blazer, jeans, and a black suit. Don’t take a lot of fashion risks when you’re packing: Your hits should simply be clothing you always feel good wearing.

Spice it up with accessories: the hat, the scarf, the glasses, the sandals.

Follow the Rule of the Three As in, three pairs of shoes. If you can’t do it, don’t go over four. Think: a walk-anywhere pair, nighttime heels, flip-flops for swimming or spa-ing, and, depending on the season and locale, cross-trainers, flats, or boots. Another space-saving tip is to wear your boots on the plane, not pack them. Socks will save your feet on the dirty security-line floor and keep your tootsies warm en route. Just be sure to have flip-flops in your carry-on bag for a quick change if you’re headed to a warm location, plus enough space to tuck in your boots (dump your Vogue and Bazaar). I’ve often seen people get out of snowcovered taxis at NYC airports in boots and arrive in St. Barts looking pretty ridic.

Stay in Shape Besides a deep-conditioner explosion, there’s nothing worse than a mashed shoe when you go to open your bag. Help dent-prone items hold their shape (this goes for purses too) by stuffing them with socks and underwear. I don’t stuff my bras, though.

Fold Fabulously Who has time for layering delicate tissue between garments? Sure wish I did, though! The next best thing is folding your sweaters and long-sleeve shirts better than a Gap employee: Lay clothing facedown and take each arm across lov e li f e he r e

The 10 Step Closet Enema

A TOXIC CLOSET IS LIKE A TOXIC FRIENDSHIP. YOU WALK INTO IT FEELING HOPEFUL, BUT THE MORE TIME YOU SPEND IN IT, THE WORSE YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF. TIME TO DO ONE BIG FLUSH. HEY, AT LEAST I’M NOT SUGGESTING A COFFEE ENEMA. . .

1

Rack It Up Take a gulp of Frappuccino.

Ready? Move batches of clothing by group (pants first, then tops, blazers, sweaters, dresses, and so on) to your rolling racks so you can get a clear view. Chances are you’ll be shocked by at least two things you find (I once discovered an ancient artifact in mine: balled-up acid-washed Cavariccis).

Since I love anything with a dual purpose, your racks can double as air-dry-only stations for delicate laundry in the future. Or Olympic uneven bars for your niece’s American Girl dolls. Told you I was practical!

2

Simplify Reshop your rolling rack items as if you were browsing the racks at a store. Would you try this on today? If your upper lip starts to curl, toss it in the “Hell No” pile. If you’re debating, try it on with good undergarments, shoes, the works. Does it work? Are you making excuses for it like, “Well, I spent so much on this. I should keep it.”

Honey, so-so equals no.

3

Move your “Maybes” You may truly be on the fence with some seasonal

items, like that wool blazer you can’t decide on because it’s summer and eighty-five degrees outside. Relocate a select group of seasonal “maybes” to another closet in your home and go back to it with fresh eyes three months later. If you try it on then and don’t feel great in it, it’s an automatic no.

6

Lose DietContingent Duds If you have to qualify any piece of clothing with, “I just need to lose ten pounds to fit into this,” or “Well, if I just let this out an inch or two, it could work,” it’s a goner. Why have a constant reminder that you need to whittle yourself down? By the way, I advise going to the fridge right now and replenishing the whipped cream on your half-finished Frap. Live a little!

4

Clear the Floor Half of the reason closets look so cluttered is because there’s too much lurking on the ground, from shoes to bags to . . . Wait—is that a Thighmaster back there?

Take another energizing sip of Frappuccino, clear the clutter, and Swiff yourself into an OCD frenzy. Put shoes in vertical storage compartments (or at least a low rack that elevates them off the floor) and move all dust-gathering items to upper shelving.

5

The Two-Year Boot Haven’t worn it in the last two years? Out it goes (even if it’s unworn with tags). You may feel guilty breaking up with your new item, but you would have worn it long ago if you truly loved it. If I were standing there with you and your clothes, I’d look at them and say, “She’s just not that into you.”

WHAT YOU’LL NEED A full face of makeup and hair (otherwise your try-ons will bomb) Two rolling racks from Bed Bath & Beyond ($59.99 each) Two extra-large garbage bags labeled “Hell No” and “Maybe”

7

Youth-Hostel Wear Must Go Baggy, holey, stretchy, faded, stained? Sayonara.

Sometimes we wear things out, and that’s okay. Ignore that little voice telling you that your tailor down the street can work miracles, or that “No one will notice that little snag/spot/hole!”

It’s o-va-h. Bye, Felicia!

Don’t forget to rethink your old pajamas, ratty sweats, and stretched-out workout clothing, too.

8

Start Sole Searching Try on all your shoes and belts with your more streamlined wardrobe.

Whatever looks unflattering or is uncomfortable (did someone say

“bunionectomy”?) goes into the cardboard box for giveaway. It’s better to have fewer pairs of shoes but ones you love that fit properly. Like my Playboy-mansion-ready velvet loafers. Still waiting on that invite, Hef!

9

Try Suitcase Living Take out your ten favorite items and five favorite accessories and only live with those pieces for a week. You’ll see how little you actually need to get by and feel good. Let that give you confidence to go back through your racks and weed out 10 percent more.

You should only be left with items you absolutely love that are either on-trend or totally timeless.

Make Room For Crazy For items you can’t part with but wear only on special/funky/random occasions (like my tropical fruit tuxedo or Catholicschoolgirl Halloween costume), relocate them to their own bizarre zone (a.k.a your plastic “Loony Bin” on a high shelf or a garment bag in another closet) so you don’t have to sift through that visual noise on a daily basis.

NOT-SO-SERIOUS GUIDE TO STYLE

Addictive Makeover Apps YOU KNOW THAT CREEPY WORD “EXPERIMENTATION,” WHICH YOUR GUIDANCE COUNSELOR USED IN HIGH SCHOOL? WELL, THIS FORM OF EXPERIMENTATION IS THE BEST KIND, BECAUSE IT’S HERPES- AND HANGOVER-FREE! (SORRY . . . TMI?)

TAAZ.COM I adore this site, along with their Hair Try On app for my iPhone and iPad. Upload a photo of yourself with your hair off your face, and if it’s long enough, pull it back in a pony. Demo tons of colors and styles—it’s totally entertaining (I personally look fierce with Edie Falco’s windswept crop).

See how your skin tone lightens or darkens with different hair colors and how your face shape changes with different lengths. Not only can you do hair demos and spend quality spaceout time browsing through galleries, you’ll get beauty how-tos based on the looks of the moment. Plus, you can ask their experts questions like “What hair works best for a wedding … so I can outshine the bride?”

DAILYMAKEOVER.COM Part of transforming your look is having a clue about what you want to feel like all dolled up—think holiday parties, birthday bashes and date nights. What better way to find out than to attend a virtual event where you’re the star? I’ve been to enough award shows to know a smoking-hot look when I see one. Now it’s your turn to see what looks smoking hot on you. This site has a clever one-click system where you can virtually try on the exact hair, makeup, and jewelry looks from celebs in galleries like Red Carpet Glamour.

Who’s queen of the runway now. . . besides me?

MODIFACE.COM It’s the gold standard of virtual makeovers, with apps for your face, eyes, lips, nails, hair, and skin. Upload a photo of yourself from your computer, Facebook, or via your ModiFace account.

(You have the option of uploading a model instead, but where’s the enlightenment in that?) Once your mug is up on the screen, start exploring. Mink shadow! How to find your skin tone and undertone! It’s a playground for color junkies and indirectly gives you a tutorial on what combos really work for you. It sources tons of cosmetic brands, so when you find a product you like, you’ll actually know what to buy. Oh, and their ModiFace Mirror app is killer.

Imagine digitally applying lip, eye, and foundations in real time on your iPad screen (or at Sephora), just by tapping a color wheel. lov e li f e he r e

Making Room

CONTRIBUTED

Three designers put their distinctive touches on these homes, where the livin’ is easy—and elegant

In this dining room, Amy Aidinis Hirsch had an opportunity to bring modernity to a traditional shell. The carvedtrough centerpiece contrasts with the contemporary take on cowhide side chairs and the rectangular light fixture by Ochre that simulates a light drizzle.

CONTINENTAL BLEND high-energy colors, such as the predominant bolt of red that streaks through the house, she says the cumulative effect was of “solace and peace,” in line with her client’s desire for all things Zen. Unconventional furniture plans, such as the pairing of a bench with side chairs in the dining room; abundant art, much of it sourced by the client; furniture with sculptural silhouettes; and objects like decorative Buddhas, produced the unique environment Amy strives for.

NEIL LANDINO

Here, designer Amy Aidinis Hirsch was charged with bringing together two aesthetics into one seamless design—one-half of the couple preferred an Eastern motif, the other a Scandinavian. Contained within a Shingle-style home inhabited by a family of four, the spaces were to be modern in sensibility and “not inundated with furnishings.”

She selected pieces that provided a subtle background against which designated showpieces could shine. Though the color palette features

1,2: Against a soothing backdrop consistent with her client’s Zen directive, Amy cultivated a muted palette that showcases both objects of interest and accents of bold color around the house. From a catalog, the client found a fiery dragon with a Far East influence echoed in notable Buddha busts and a collection of jade-like vases.

Frank Gehry’s Wiggle side chair, made of corrugated cardboard, sits against the wall.

3: The client’s credenza offers an ideal stage for an assemblage of objects seemingly from travels far and wide: a colorful seated Buddha from the client’s collection, Saarinen’s Womb chair, a sculpture of Buddha’s hand positions, and the whimsical, duckfooted lamp from Porta Romana that Amy says always makes her laugh.

4. A mixture of sensibilities offers visual appeal to vignettes around the house.

INSIDE OUT The space was conceived for summertime lounging and entertaining, and the living area is accented with bright blues and greens.

Key elements of the indoor-outdoor space, in addition to the living, dining and changing areas, are a patio kitchen, folding doors that can combine all spaces into one, and underground storage for pool toys and equipment.

WES TARCA

This double-pavilion pool house was the fillip on a substantial assignment to alter and expand a historic Georgian Colonial undertaken by Susan Alisberg and her architecture and interior design firm, Alisberg Parker.

The pavilion measures 800 square feet and is situated for optimum seclusion and sunlight. When the traditional exterior echoes the aesthetic of the main house, it belies the modern sensibility indoors.

EASY BREEZY 1. The pavilions, housing a living area and a changing area for swimmers, are joined by a colonnaded breezeway topped by a trellis that admits both sunlight and starlight and lets dappled sunlight shine on the table and bar below.

In the foreground, the pavers are set into the sod, which gives the setting a naturalistic look.

2. and opposite The “living room� features the Bilbao chandelier from Solaria, which infuses the room with a bit of nature given its moss-like appearance, and Tosca lounge chairs with braided arms from JANUS et Cie. The room can be closed off with folding doors should a Marco Polo game grow too loud and splashy.

3. Outdoor dining overlooking the pool is made all the more pleasant by a teak Parsons table from Restoration Hardware paired with white JANUS et Cie side chairs evocative of tree branches. g r e e n w i c h a f fa i r

CINDY RINFRET

1

A MATTER OF SCALE the forty-foot living room, which, with her artful innovations, became an entertaining hub. She designed a stocked bar and cabinet that hides a large television; brought in a billiards table from the client’s previous house; and installed an inviting seating area.

Not every piece was sourced—she was able to use existing furniture from the owner and “punch it up” with new upholstery. A few pieces from her store on Greenwich Avenue added flourish.

MICHAEL PARTENIO

When her client purchased this house, it was fresh off the show-house circuit, each room bearing a different designer’s signature. Cindy Rinfret’s objective had three parts: bring the disparate parts together into a cohesive whole; make it liveable; and tackle the imposing scale—it was a 1920s/1930s manor house with a few renovations under its belt— and restore it to its classic architectural form.

Chief among her goals was luring guests to

CLASSIC & LIVEABLE

2

1. Blue and tan was Cindy’s color palette when she endeavored to make this former show-house more livable for an active family. In the living room (opposite), she designed a mirrored breakfront that does triple duty as decorative element, bar backdrop and TV enclosure. The pair of vases was plucked from her store; the trio of lanterns are custom mahogany.

2. In the dining room, the designer eschewed a typical Baccarat cut crystal chandelier and chose a more transitional draped fixture.

3. Located in the entry, the piano is a gathering place for guests during parties thanks to a table for hors d’oeuvres Cindy placed nearby and a custom ottoman she used to fill the hole that inevitably appears under a piano.

The Way We Were VINTAGE ADS FROM OUR SALAD DAYS SAY IT ALL

by donna moffly and garvin burke

OCTOBER

1949 Domestic Bliss Too many cooks in the kitchen? No way. This gent was way ahead of his time, manning his own oven to keep the little woman happy. Even if he’d had an iPhone, I bet he wouldn’t risk sending out for pizza.

Back in 1947, long before the Internet, Facebook or Twitter, there was our ancestor, the Greenwich Social Review. It kept Greenwich folks up to speed on what was going on in our world—well, maybe not the whole world but certainly in our little corner of it.

In the early decades, this magazine had no features on bullying, heroin, divorce or murder— nothing that truly troubled the soul. But it did have ads, enough of them to keep it alive and eventually be reborn as greenwich. Enough of them to give us a chuckle seventy years later.

FEBRUARY

2016 Culinary Command Central A man’s home is his castle? Forget the rest of the house. He and his wife could live like royalty in Xhema’s king-size kitchen and invite their friends in for the weekend, too.

LIFE BACK THEN

FASHION VICTIMS

APRIL

1949 Teed Off? You could tee off in style in this number from Florence Schmeltzer, complete with protective shoulder pads in case you got hit from behind.

Sizes ranged from 10 to 20. If you were smaller, you took up gymnastics.

OCTOBER

1953 Cheaper by the Dozen What? No Lycra with horizontal stripes?

But this “handsome maternity suit” was ONLY $10.95!

With prices so low, you could afford to have a whole litter.

JULY Long Before Thongs

1947

Beau catcher? Man trap? Here’s the daring suit of the day, and it certainly beat middy blouses and bloomers. But forget about the seashells. By the end of the century, the lady would be holding a cell phone to her ear—just a tad smaller than her bikini.

FUN FACT

Cat-eye glasses have had a roller-coaster-ride-of approval ratings with the fashion-forward crowd. Back in the ’50s and ’60s, these “it” frames were super popular, with beehive hairdos to match. All trends have a shelf life. Eventually, these feline frames adorned ONLY Marian the Librarian and banker types (see page 110). But suddenly they’ve made a comeback! Fashion designer and major optical brands are including them as a “style” choice in eyewear.

Downhill All the Way

It’s a Cinch

Would you believe that this parka was all the rage for snow bunnies?

But looking snappy on the slopes was key.

You just had to make sure the hood didn’t slide down over your eyes. You wouldn’t want to run into a tree.

A tight one, at that.

How could a lady feel merry if she couldn’t breathe?

Nonetheless, Warner’s corselet, the bra-girdle combo introduced in 1952, was named after the 1905 operetta The Merry Widow, and became a basic part of her wardrobe. Said Lana Turner: “I am telling you, the merry widow was designed by a man.

A woman would never do that to another woman.”

Waisting Time Wish someone would photoshop my waist! Can this be real? Never mind. Chancy claims this “Portrait of a Darling” is “sirenish in back,” and it’s rear interest that counts.

1967 Jungle Habitate Today’s playgrounds are child-proofed with matting on the ground to break kids’ falls. Yet, in the good old days, if a kid landed on his head, it was a learning experience—not a lawsuit.

SEPTEMBER

1968 Girls’ Rights!

In Denim Duds the little lady could finally dress like a boy— and for $3.95!

Now you can buy her a pair of Moto jeans at Barneys for $1,575, and they come with holes already in them, too.

JUNE TypeSEPTEMBER Casting

1948 1953

Oh, so boys knew how to type back then? We bet most of them ended up relying on their secretaries— all girls, of course. But Mead’s was definitely ahead of its time. Remember onion skin and carbon paper for making copies? You could buy those there, too.

Faster than reindeer fly, your present was rushed across the sea aboard the classic motor-yacht Mauretania to arrive just in time. Obviously nobody was worried about carbon trails.

Back in our launch year, 1947, when an annual subscription to the Greenwich Social Review was $2.50, the price of a gallon of gas was 15 cents. What can you buy now for 15 cents? Go google. And good luck.

Before the days of home security systems—and before Travelers Cheques, if you wanted to venture further afield—you had to do some creative thinking to defend your property. Like getting tanked.

Hard to believe, but the lady has just gotten around to opening her first checking account.

How do you suppose she paid her bills before? Delivering jelly jars full of cash?

She must have put a lot of mileage on her car.

But who did the copywriting?

Definitely some odd guy in the back room. Ad agencies didn’t consider this women’s work.

FUN FACT

The best-selling men’s shoes, Top-Siders, among sailors and landlubbers alike, were invented in 1935 by Paul Sperry, when he noticed his dog could run over ice without slipping. After JFK sported them in the ’60s and the Preppy Handbook featured them in the ’80s, that was it!

MAY

Oh, well. Here’s a pillared beauty with water access for $95,000 in Riverside, of all places—back when some Greenwich folks never heard of it.

My, how times change.

FUN FACT

The Landlord’s Game was invented in 1903 by Lizzie Magie to protest the evils of big money in the Gilded Age. But renamed Monopoly, its official birthday is 1935 when Charles Darrow peddled his own version to Parker Brothers and made a fortune. (Lizzie got only $500.) Since then, billions of people worldwide have played the game, 5,120,000 little green houses have been made to meet demand, and a San Francisco jeweler has created a set valued at $2 million.
