The sparkling legacy of America’s jeweler

1886

rom sterling silver to diamonds and pearls, Tiffany & Co. has set the standard for timeless luxury across the world. Known for its dedication to craftsmanship and innovative design, the company has shaped American tastes for almost 200 years, securing a place in our nation’s history as the designers of the modern engagement ring, the Super Bowl trophy and the coveted Tiffany Diamond.With a legacy that spans from the china cabinets of the White House, to the silver screen and finally to their customers’ personal moments of giving, the Tiffany Blue box and the delight it always brings will remain a symbol of elegance and affluence for many years to come.

1837 Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young open the doors of their Lower Broadway storefront, stocking stationery and fancy goods. This fledgling business sets the stage for their future success.

In 1886 Tiffany & Co. was commissioned to design and engrave the invitations for the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, further cementing the company’s place in our nation’s history.

1878 Charles Lewis Tiffany purchases a rough diamond of 287.42 carats from the Kimberly diamond mine in South Africa for a whopping $18,000. The famous Tiffany Diamond was cut from the stone, weighing in at 128.54 carats and making it one of the world’s largest yellow diamonds. In 2012 it was reset in a glittering necklace (left) in honor of the company’s 175th anniversary.

1848

1861

1878

Tiffany’s reputation grows as he is named the “King of Diamonds” after purchasing a selection of the French Crown Jewels and resetting them in original Tiffany & Co. settings.

16th president Abraham Lincoln purchased this seed pearl necklace and broach for Mary Todd Lincoln to wear to his inaugural ball. The necklace now resides at the Library of Congress.

1878 marked the company’s grand prize win at the Paris World’s Fair. The Tiffany Blue signature box, introduced in 1853 and the color, known as robin’s egg blue or forget-me-not blue, is a symbol of Tiffany & Co.’s dedication to quality and luxury.

2012

1961

1920 With the Roaring ’20s in full swing, movie stars and tastemakers of high society flock to Tiffany & Co. to fulfill the decade’s vision of decadence.

Jean Schlumberger’s Ribbon Rosette Necklace captures the imagination of America when Audrey Hepburn, star of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” dons the intricate piece in publicity photos.

1968 This delicate wild flower china pattern was designed for the White House in 1968 under Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration.

1894

1965

Kicking off Tiffany & Co.’s reign as the go-to source of luxury goods for trendsetting celebrities, entrepreneur “Diamond” Jim Brady commissions a custom-made sterling silver bicycle for international Gilded Age celebrity Lillian Russell.

Elizabeth Taylor, who embodied the epitaph, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” received this diamond, sapphire, platinum and gold broach from her husband Richard Burton in 1965. The Fleur de Mer broach designed by Jean Schlumberger was returned to Tiffany & Co. after the 2012 auction of the late actress’s estate.

This year Tiffany & Co. celebrated its rich history as a pioneer of precious gems. Over the years, the company’s team of gemologists has scoured the world discovering and introducing tsavorite, morganite and tanzanite to the world. The 175carat Tiffany Anniversary Morganite Necklace (above) is a part of the 2012 Legacy Collection, named for loyal customer and gem collector John Pierpont Morgan, who discovered the stone in 1920 in Madagascar.

EDITOR’S LETTER

Greetings from the Guest List

am often asked just “what it takes” to be included on the “Social List” we print in our December issue each year. The answer is a bit complex. While family background and political or diplomatic rank are certainly taken into account, they do not always guarantee inclusion. On the other hand, a surfeit of sophistication, civic spirit and bonhomie always helps speed the process especially when coupled with generous giving to worthy causes. Being “out and about” is also important, of course, although inveterate seekers of the limelight might have to wait a bit to see if their philanthropy matches their ambitions. While there is no “secret committee” we consult to choose additions to the list, we do consult an informal group of confidential arbiters whose advice is respected in such matters, mostly longtime residents and wise observers of the scene. There is no application process or need for letters of introduction. It is a year-round effort and we try our best to get it right. Our 17th annual list now numbers approximately 750 individuals who make Washington the great and vibrant capital city we know it to be, and we take particular pleasure in including portraits of a very special few of them every year.Thanks once again to Tony Powell for capturing such superb images. The spirit of giving is at the root of the holiday season and we’ve chosen a few items for that special someone in our Last Minute Gift Guide. Be sure to see our two-page Trend Report for a few things to add to your own wish list. Giving goes beyond the material, of course, and our pages are full of events sponsored by organizations that ask their supporters to eat, drink, be merry — and give. From Fight for Children’s highly anticipated Fight Night extravaganza to the 50th anniversary of St. Jude Children’s Hospital, local charities are always raising awareness and funds to support our community. With so many parties on social calendars around town, you might be at a loss to decide what to wear to the next major fête. Our fashion

editorial, photographed by Violetta Markelou in the ornate ballroom of the Hay-Adams hotel, puts luxe ball gowns center stage and is sure to end any sartorial dilemmas. From leather accents to bold and metallic hues, such designers as Versace and Alexander McQueen demonstrate that the only fashion faux pas is playing it safe. Also in this issue, Sharon Love, mother of Yeardly Love, a tragic victim of domestic violence, speaks out for the first time in an exclusive Charity Spotlight, reminding us all to cherish our loved ones. As the inauguration draws near, renowned pollster John Zogby reflects on how the shifting demography of the American voting public helped Barack Obama capture a massive electoral landslide, and how the 2012 election portends big trouble for future GOP candidates unless they undergo a complete makeover and hit the restart button. Other features you won’t want to miss include a conversation with the legendary hotelier Horst Schultze, founder of the Ritz Carlton hotel concept, about his collaboration with DC developer Bruce Bradley on their ultra-luxe new addition to the DC hotel landscape, Capella Georgetown, opening in February along Georgetown’s historic C&O Canal. Also in this issue: famed soprano Renée Fleming by our very own Patrick McCoy as well as a salute to Tiffany & Co. as it celebrates its 175th anniversary. Check our Social Calendar to make sure you’ve sent your R.S.V.P. for the season’s best events, including the Washington Ballet’s Nutcracker Tea and the Choral Arts Society’s holiday and concert gala. And as the weather grows colder, we hope you’ll take a few moments to slow down a bit as you gather with those whom you hold dear. From all of us here at Washington Life, here’s to a safe, restful and happy holiday!

ST. JUDE HOSPITAL 50TH ANNIVERSARY Lebanese Ambassador’s Residence and the Willard Hotel | PHOTOS BY KYLE SAMPERTON GOLDEN GIFT: The first children’s hospital to bring research and children’s care together under one roof (and where patients’ families never have to worry about how they will pay for it) celebrated its 50th anniversary with a reception at the Lebanese ambassador’s residence that paid tribute to the hospital’s late founder, Danny Thomas, a television comedy star of Lebanese descent. ABSOLUTE PERFECTION: The following evening’s Willard Hotel dinner for 125 patrons (who contributed more than $500,000 to the cause) was produced from beginning to end by Hermès. The famed luxury goods purveyor took charge of the food, wine, place settings, flowers and — bien sûr — a trademark orange-colored gift bag for every guest at evening’s end.

A FAIR AND FESTIVE FÊTE: Guests of Arena Stage’s exclusive opening night reception for “My Fair Lady” could have danced all night, given the evening’s fusion of music, performance and light-hearted conversation. Director Molly Smith was lauded for her reinterpretation of the show, once called the “perfect musical.” Co-chaired by Andrea Weiswasser and Grace Terpstra, the evening to benefit the theater’s community engagement program concluded with a post-show reception where members of the cast met the audience. The show, starring Manna Nichols as “Eliza Doolittle” and Benedict Campbell as “Mr. Higgins,” marks the U.S. debut of Smith’s reimagined production, as it was originally mounted in Canada last year. “My Fair Lady” runs through January 6.

Diplomatic Moves Pictures tell a story, a Nobel Prize for a Europe at peace and the French ambassador finds temporary shelter BY ROLAND FLAMINI

FILMING IN AFRICA: The things an ambassador does to advance his country’s interests! If Warner Bros., the Hollywood studio behind “Argo” and “Dark Knight Rises” decides to shoot a film on location in the central African republic of Gabon, Amb. Michael MoussaAdamo can take a large share of the credit. In February, while in Los Angeles on a trip organized by the State Department, Moussa-Adamo toured Warner Bros.’ Burbank headquarters and met with some of the executives. Later, when studio executives were looking for possible locations to shoot a film in Africa, they contacted him again. Would he help arrange for a scouting team to visit Gabon? Moussa-Adamo, himself a former television news anchor in his own country, advised on the planning for the trip, supplied introductions to the relevant government agencies, including entrée to the president of Gabon. Warner Bros. is coy about the fledgling movie project, but it seems the scouting trip went well and the production is likely to be filmed in Gabon, which can’t be bad for the country’s economy. SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE; Good news has been scarce in the European Union of late, so the recent announcement that the 27-country organization has been awarded the Nobel peace prize was a source of pride and a welcome morale booster. In Washington, the E.U. ambassadors will celebrate the event with a reception later this

A FRESH DINING EXPERIENCE THAT CELEBRATES LIVING WELL

POLLYWOOD | ELECTION RECAP

A Warning Shot to the GOP BY JOHN ZOGBY

resident Barack Obama won a demographic, not ideological, victory on November 6. Sen. Obama won four years ago by putting together a significant historic and demographic-winning coalition. It was similar to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal Coalition in 1932 (including an eclectic group of urban voters, ethnics, union supporters, intellectuals, small farmers, southern racists and African Americans) and Ronald Reagan’s 1980 triumph (including many sons and daughters of the New Deal who were less dependent on federal largesse and more conservative on social issues). Both these coalitions lasted two generations. While elections have to be won one at a time and victories involve other variables, it appears likely that Mr. Obama’s winning majority, if not portending Democratic advantage for the next two generations, at least suggests a GOP with significant disadvantages. The Obama Coalition includes four major component groups: Latinos, African Americans, America’s “first globals” (born between 1979 and 1994), and the “creative class.” Latino voters were just 4 percent of 92 million voters in 1992 and have grown steadily to the point where they reached 10 percent of about 130 million voters in 2012. Mr. Obama won 67 percent of this group four years ago and, with the help of the GOP, reached 71 percent in his reelection. I have learned a simple tautology after two decades of conducting polls and focus groups among a wide variety of Latinos: anti-illegal immigrant means anti-immigrant, and anti-immigrant means anti-Latino. Pre-election polls never showed Mitt Romney coming even close to the Republican performance of 31 percent in 2008. Though not a growing part of the U.S. population, African Americans are an ever larger part of the electorate. Historically, the AfricanAmerican share of the vote in a presidential election is 10 percent and a Democratic candidate can normally count on 90 percent support. In 2008, Mr. Obama won 95 percent of that vote — about 12.9 percent of the share. Though

some African Americans (as other base supporters) had expressed some disappointment with the

RIGHT: John Zogby. ABOVE: Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama at one of three preelection debates (AP File Photo)

President months ago, they surpassed 13 percent of the total vote and Mr. Obama won 92 percent of the share. Young voters were an essential ingredient in Mr. Obama’s landslide four years ago. Normally about 17 percent of the total vote, they were about 19 percent in 2008 and he won with 66 percent of their support.These are America’s “first global citizens” both in behavior and sensibility and they saw the then-junior senator from Illinois as a fellow global. In fact, in addition to their planetary consciousness, only 61 percent of those who vote are actually white — compared with over 80 percent of voters who are Boomers or older. Zogby polling did show some disaffection for Mr. Obama throughout much of the campaign, from these voters, especially a small but growing libertarianism, borne of a recession that represents almost all of their adult lives. But, in the final analysis, 60 percent did vote to re-elect the President and again they were 19 percent of the total votes cast. These numbers came especially from young and single women who gave 70 percent of their vote to the President, notably because of fear of GOP invasiveness on issues of personal choice and reproductive rights. Richard Florida has written extensively about the rise of the “creative class” — the millions of Americans who work in the knowledge sector. Mr. Obama captured 60 percent of the 35 million

voters in this category four years ago. But it wasn’t just the national vote. Mr. Florida notes the importance this cohort places in clustering, i.e. finding places to live and work with those who share ideas, entrepreneurial spirit and creativity. Major centers include Boston (as in southern New Hampshire), Northern Virginia, the Research Triangle and Charlotte regions of North Carolina, Southern Florida, DesMoines/Ames in Iowa, Denver and Boulder in Colorado. There are other regions, to be sure, but the creative class was no doubt a major force in helping turn these former Red States into Blue States in 2008. Significantly, despite anemic polling numbers among creatives during much of the campaign, Mr. Obama ended up polling 54 percent in 2012, enough to hold on to every one of the battleground states, except North Carolina. Romney was competitive and won 48 percent of the vote. But the white voter share represented only 72 percent of the total vote (compared to 74 percent in 2008) and his performance among evangelicals was down considerably from Sen. John McCain’s performance in 2008, mainly due to three factors: some who told us that they could not vote for a Mormon; younger evangelicals who are more focused on discussing issues like the environment, global and community poverty, and human rights of Christians abroad; and the growing numbers of Latino evangelicals. The demographic components of this new coalition are likely to grow. I am not ready to subscribe to the notion of an “emerging Democratic majority,” as authors John Judis and Ruy Texeira have written, but I am ready to declare that the Republican Party is headed in the same direction as the Federalists and the Whigs before them.And that is not good for them. John Zogby of Washington is the founder of the “Zogby Poll” and the Zogby Companies and is one of the nation’s foremost American public opinion pollsters.

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT | ONE LOVE FOUNDATION

Join One Love to Combat Relationship Violence BY SHARON LOVE

O Sharon Love (photo courtesy of Renegade Communications)

n May 3, 2010 at 6 a.m., I was greeted at my front door by two Baltimore County police officers. They informed me that my daughter, Yeardley, had been beaten to death in her apartment at the University of Virginia. Her former boyfriend, George Huguely, was charged with her murder. I heard the words but did not believe them. The fact that someone would intentionally harm Yeardley was incomprehensible. It was impossible to process; the finality was unbearable. Violence was foreign to our family. My husband and I never once raised a hand to our daughters.We always parted by saying “I love you” both verbally and in sign language. Yeardley played on the University of Virginia women’s lacrosse team and George Huguely was on the men’s lacrosse team.Yeardley was a political science major and a Spanish minor. She was on the honor roll and it was only weeks until graduation. Yeardley planned to move to New York for a year or two and then go back to school to pursue a law degree. All of this was dashed in a moment of selfish rage.Yeardley’s life was taken and many more lives were devastated. With the kindness and support of so many friends and strangers, we started the One Love Foundation in June 2010.Yeardley’s jersey number was 1, and her last name Love. The initial purpose of the foundation was to help fund a turf field to honor Yeardley’s legacy at Notre Dame Preparatory School, and fund inner-city lacrosse teams.We had no intention of addressing relationship violence but soon came to realize that it was a topic we couldn’t ignore. We received so many letters and phone calls from people telling us of the abuse they had suffered, and many were telling their story for the first time. In February of 2012 jury selection began for the trial of George Huguely. I had read that one out of three women would be abused in their lifetime, but it

didn’t register. As I sat in the court room in the idyllic town of Charlottesville,Va., those statistics jumped off the page. Potential jurors were asked if they had ever been affected by relationship violence and one in three of them answered yes. Reading these statistics was one thing, watching them unfold was another.Thirty-three percent of these potential jurors had similar stories to tell. George Huguely was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 23 years in prison. Shortly after the trial ended, through the generous contribution of the Michael and Kim Ward Foundation the “Be 1 for Change” campaign was launched. I am convinced

In phase one of this new campaign, One Love has teamed up with Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing and Bloomberg School of Public Health, who have devoted over 20 years of research to relationship violence statistics and prevention.With the support and expertise of researchers at Hopkins and Bloomberg, the One Love Foundation has started to develop a longterm plan to decrease the number of relationship violence victims in the United States and abroad. Our target age group during the initial phase is 16 to 24 years old.The initiative aims to educate, empower

But given our platform, it is our hope that everyone reading my story will join in our efforts, speak out and help us put an end to this aberrant behavior.

e met in Washington so making it our home came naturally. Washington has many of the advantages of a big city and a small town. Enjoying life with kids, work, friends, nature, travel, art, sports and outreach programs — while keeping close relationships with family and childhood friends overseas — is somehow doable here. We are passionate about empowering children through education, particularly young Middle Eastern girls, and love working with grassroots education and empowerment programs for children in South Africa, India and the Middle East. Currently, our favorite local causes are THEARC in Washington,Time In of New York and a number of school scholarship programs on the East Coast.We also enjoy promoting awareness of Iran’s rich history and heritage through cultural programs. It’s a pleasure to live in a city with people who have a true commitment to good values and healthy living. Washingtonians lead very interesting, dynamic and meaningful lives, all in good balance.The city allows people to live a hundred lives all in one.

We treasure the farm fresh markets and world class museums, the broad swaths of green space and inspiring monuments, and the opportunity to make many friendships that cross borders.There is always time to serve at-risk youth at Sasha Bruce Youthwork and children with hearing and speech challenges at the Children’s Hearing and Speech Center. Our friends who serve in politics, conservation causes, culture and diplomacy continue to enrich and inspire us. As art dealers, charitable organization board members and neighbors it has been our hope and intent to give back some of that abundance.

Marcia Carter and Robin Hill

e met in 1972 when Robin came from Australia to have a show of his paintings at a Middleburg art gallery. He was well known in in his home country as an artist and writer and had intended to be here for only two weeks, but is still happily here 40 years later. I grew up in Washington seeing it change from a one-note southern town to vibrant cultural gem. Books have always been my passion — as a collector and , for 35 years, as coowner of an antiquarian book shop in Georgetown, Booked Up, with writer Larry McMurtry. For a long time I was involved with the Folger Library — a real Washington treasure. I worked at the Vassar College Book Sale while it lasted and now do book sales to raise money for the Friends of the George Public Library. We seem to have worked out a perfect balance with our Washington life with all the theater and music, and our cottage in Middleburg with it’s big studio, where we spend weekends. Our Middleburg connection has led to Robin having a major retrospective next year at the Middleburg Sporting Library and Museum. — Marcia McGhee Carter

Robin and Eileen West

e met when I came to Washington in 1981 to join the Reagan administration. Eileen had just returned from San Francisco with TIME magazine to become a CBS News reporter. We fell in love, married and raised four children. Washington is a beautiful city of human scale with interesting people and big ideas. It is a great place to bring up children.We love the city’s playfulness — its skating rinks, sledding hills, biking and jogging trails — and strong sense of community and friendship. Washington allows us to work at the things we cherish. Eileen, an author and freelance journalist, is chairman of Refugees International and has advocated for refugees in Darfur, Eastern Congo, South Sudan and Thailand. She is also on the board of The SEED Foundation. I run an international energy consulting firm and serve as chairman of the United States Institute of Peace, having led the construction of its headquarters on the Mall. I also co-chair the German Marshall Fund of the U.S. We both travel a lot, but cannot wait to come home to Georgetown where we are reminded how lucky we are to live and work in Washington.

Elizabeth Baker Keffer

’ve lived in Washington for more than 25 years, moving here right after college to take a job with David Bradley —still my boss, mentor and friend. I love the vibrancy of the nation’s capital and its position at the intersection of politics, media and business.This city and my career allow me to blend professional and social lives in a way that I find stimulating, rewarding and fun. About 15 years ago, my family bought a second home in The Plains,Va. It’s an hour outside of Washington, but is a retreat that is reminiscent of a different generation and way of life. Most weekends and each summer, we decamp to our small farm where our days are consumed by riding, hiking, swimming and tennis.We spend afternoons in the garden bursting with watermelons, blackberries and peppers. In the evening we enjoy meals, concerts and art shows with friends of all ages and backgrounds. I thrive on the pace of Washington but love the beauty and serenity of the countryside. It’s a rare pleasure for me, and a gift to share these two worlds with my children.

Fred and Britlan Malek

red and I love Washington and its ambitious people who share a great sense of commitment to making a difference.The tempo here strikes a perfect balance between a high-energy professional atmosphere and a calm, friend- and family-focused refuge.We feel especially blessed to live in a beautiful city where our children have a multitude of enriching opportunities from which to learn. Like so many Washingtonians, we strive to give back. Fred’s heart is with the military — supporting his alma matter, the U.S. Naval Academy and most recently co-founding the Boulder Crest Retreat for Wounded Warriors in Bluemont,Va. My passion lies in improving the lives of children. Children’s National Medical Center is a miraculous place, the gem of the city in terms of healing young people and their families. In that same vein is Starlight MidAtlantic, an organization that brings joy and diversion to children with chronic and lifethreatening illnesses.

HOTEL WATCH | CAPELLA GEORGETOWN

RETURN OF THE LUXURY KING Local developer Bruce Bradley teams up with legendary hotelier Horst Schulze to unveil ‘ultra luxury’ Capella Georgetown

LEFT: Horst Schulze. ABOVE: An artist’s rendering of Capella Georgetown’s guest-only private living room, accessible only by room key.

WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THE WASHINGTON AREA? That answer is clear. Washington is one of the greatest cities, if not in America then in the world. If you put it in terms of the hotel business, it would probably be third in the country. It is not only a business destination, it is also a huge tourist destination. The top market also comes here because of the embassies. For us,

not only for the business and the hotel but for exposure to our brand, it’s a very important market to be in. WHAT HAVE YOU TAKEN AWAY FROM YOUR RITZ-CARLTON EXPERIENCE AND HOW HAVE YOU APPLIED IT TO CAPELLA? If you want to be successful you have to have good people. You have to have a great understanding

of who you are, and you have to be sure that your organization is aligned to who you are. I also learned that you have to be very careful not to compromise. Once you take that leadership role, unless you are very clear who you are and stick to it, you start compromising. It’s pretty easy to become the best but it’s very difficult to stay the best. This is a key element — you have to move

with the guest. When we first opened our hotel we had security cards for the doors. We had a very negative reaction from our guests who said, “This isn’t a first-class hotel. You need a key.” So, we changed the locks. Three years later a guest said “That is very insecure and unsafe.” So we had to change the locks again. We have to be able to move with the guests. And if there

n 2002, renowned hotelier Horst Schulze retired after spending two decades building the iconic Ritz-Carlton brand, only to turn around and start all over again with Capella Hotels and Resorts, a group that is quickly establishing a new “ultra luxury” category of hotel designed specifically for the highest end of business or luxury traveler. In just a few years, Schulze opened five hotels around the world in cities such as Dusseldorf, Singapore and New York City, with ten more in the development stage in countries including Japan and Mexico. In 2008, DC developer Bruce Bradley called on Schulze to help him open and manage Capella Georgetown, which Bradley’s Castleton Hotel Partners is developing and is expected to open its doors in February 2013. The 49-room Capella Georgetown stands to be the new jewel of DC’s luxury hotels, the insider’s spot with a personal assistant assigned to each guest in lieu of a front desk (check in and out at your own leisure), a premier restaurant overlooking the canal, a guest-only lounge and roof deck with 360-degree views, indoor/outdoor pool and a spa. Schulze sat down with Washington Life to reflect on his “baby,” starting a new empire at 65 and looking forward to next 20 years.

Capella Georgetown is slated to include a 70-seat restaurant with a patio for 26 overlooking the canal and a menu highlighting local ingredients.

is a nuance of change you have to wait. That was pretty dramatic in my learning. Once you start making the mistake that “we’ve always done it like that,” it’s very dangerous. WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO START CAPELLA HOTELS AND RESORTS AFTER RETIREMENT? I actually retired on a Friday. I went home that weekend in all sadness and the first thing was [a friend] came over and said “Congratulations, we’re retired. Let’s go play golf.” I asked him “Why did you retire?” and he said “So I can do what I like.” I thought, wow. I like hotels. It’s only when you step away that you know what you did wrong. I decided to do it again, otherwise I’ll worry about it because this pain is there for the rest of my life. I told my wife on Monday, I think I’m going to start one more time. WHAT MISTAKES DID YOU MAKE WHEN YOU RAN RITZ-CARLTON? That 65 percent of our business was conventions when the best customers said “We don’t like conventions.” I should’ve gone in to it totally differently.

WA S H I N G T O N L I F E

We should’ve set aside a group entrance, and when they came in we should have immediately shuffled them into a different elevator. It would have been a little bit more expensive, but not that much more, and we could’ve maintained that leadership position. I didn’t do that and it was my fault. Everyone would say “You’re great” because they would rather I lead them nevertheless, but how good is good? Maybe when they say that, maybe you’re the best of a lousy lot, and maybe you’re not.

Business is unbelievable, however, they’re still weak, particularly in North America with new development. It’s a challenge to find deals particularly in North America, and I want to become more established in North America. The deals come all the time but they have a lousy location, not enough capital to capitalize. It’s more expensive. To find the right location and the right investment is difficult. And remember what I said that compromise was my biggest mistake.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE A SECOND CHANCE, WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE? Money is a particular setback. The challenge for me is most of the hotel companies today when they get a contract they put cash under the deal. I don’t. That has been the biggest challenge. In August 2008 we had new hotels under construction in addition to the ones that we had, and in 2009 none were under construction any more. They were all gone. We were looking to have 30 hotels in 2010 but we had 14. We were doing badly but we overcame that and now we’re doing well.

THAT’S GOING BACK TO YOUR CORE VALUES. It’s a huge challenge but it’s also much more fun because I’m doing what I want. I have no regrets. Not everyone starts a new company when they are 65. It’s pretty exciting.

| H O L I D AY | washingtonlife.com

WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, HOW WILL YOU MEASURE SUCCESS WITH CAPELLA? Customer satisfaction. You know what my expectation is with customer satisfaction? 90 percent top marks, and that’s minimum. In this new market segment it’s the customer that we serve. In

a normal situation the customer can influence 20 or more others. This customer controls hundreds. They don’t just influence, they control. You have to do it right with them. My whole philosophy is don’t lose a customer. WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU? We have a bunch of hotels in development including Bangkok, Japan, Qatar, two in Russia, China. We have 10 in construction. And Sochi Russia, we’re figuring out where that one is going to be. With the embassies becoming international we have the Capella being built and it will probably open the day before the Olympics. We have another Capella in St. Petersburg, so we have quite a few going.I hope I’m here to see it. IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE YOU’LL BE RETIRING ANYTIME SOON. I feel like Moses standing and looking to the Holy Land but never getting there. We have two hotels in construction in Mexico. There’s a lot of great stuff going on that is exciting and fulfilling. There’s no question that we will be a leader in that market. The question is only when.

One critic, commenting on the group’s far-flung travels, said:“They have toured the world and won it.” THREE LIVING LEGENDS In 1405, Christine de Pizan became the first woman to chronicle women’s history with her book “The City of Ladies.” Recently three history-making American women were honored by the National Women’s History Museum during the De Pizan awards at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center: The living legends were former Senator and American Red Cross President Elizabeth Dole, legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz and poet/playwright/author Maya Angelou. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes received the Henry Backwell Award, named for the 19th-century advocate of women’s suffrage. NWHM president Joan Bradley Wages noted that supporters came from as far as Senegal, South Africa, Texas, Detroit and California, uniting in their effort to establish the museum on or near the National Mall. Recent bills introduced in the House and Senate seek to establish a commission to enable that goal which is self funded by the commission and using no taxpayer money — in contrast to other mall museums, supporters proudly point out.

AN EVENING IN THE AZORES Fun time at the Embassy of Portugal at the 10th annual gala of the Washington International Piano Arts Council. Portuguese Amb. Nuno Brito and his wife Rosa Batorau are both from the Azores, Portugal’s autonomous North Atlantic islands. They explained the intricacies of the Azores subtropical climate and Portuguese/Azorean cuisine over the dinner of gastronomic delicacies: “My mother’s recipes” Rosa Batorau said with justifiable pride. Attorney Rand Allen and his wife Leeda chaired the gala celebrating WIPAC, founded by concert pianist John Gardecki and his wife Chateau. The ambassadors of Bulgaria and Madagascar were present as was former U.S.Army general and ambassador to Poland Edward Rowny. WIPAC President Suzanne Eisinger greeted guests along with her husband Clayton Eisinger.

hear the words “folkloric” and “dance” in the same sentence — remembering dull programs of clumping cloggers or inauthentic hula hips — take heart. There are, thankfully, ethnic groups that will enchant you, such as the Philippines’ national dance troupe Bayanihan, which recently graced the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theatre. It was a sold-out house on both nights after a triumphant evening at New York’s Lincoln Center. The Philippine Embassy co-sponsored the event with Amb. Jose Cuisa Jr. and his wife Victoria present as well as former U.S. diplomats John Negroponte and John Maisto representing the co-sponsoring U.S.-Philippines Society. Envoys from Brunei, Peru and Singapore attended with their wives. Suzie Benitez, the director of the Bayanihan organization, was also on hand along with Marylander Carmen Stull (who helped organize the evening). Bayanihan, with over 50 years to perfect its art, is enhanced by a richness of cultural diversity few countries can match. The Philippine Republic of 7,100 islands has scores of indigenous groups, each proud of its own music, legends and dances. The mix is expanded by the various foreign nations that held sway here over the centuries, leaving their imprint on those arts. Spanish, Arab, Indo-Malaysian, Japanese and even Chinese influences (from Chinese Muslims who established a colony) are all reflected in Bayanihan, whose researchers roam the archipelago for historic information. The varied ethnic headgear and garments are echoed in a kaleidoscope of dazzling costumes. The music, dramatic and rhythmic, is punctuated by compelling drum work, and the choreography is innovative, with comic moments among the striking and beautiful pageantry. The company’s name from the root “bayan” (community) carries the idea of “acting in harmony for the common good,” a maxim in the Philippines. Bayanihan has earned friends for its

OVER THE MOON

Notable Nuptials Two special weddings and a ‘Piedmont Painters’ art show were the season’s must-attend events in Hunt Country BY VICKY MOON

wedding made for the big screen took place when Danielle Kazmier and Ron Bradley were married at “Lockesly Manor,” their estate in Millwood. The 70-acre, circa 1952 property was purchased earlier this year after being listed for $4.9 million. Two additions, geothermal systems and massive interior renovations were added before the stately seven-bedroom main house was ready for a grand wedding. Bradley sold his government contracting business, Bradson, to KForce for a reported $73 million in 2006. Now a full-time philanthropist, he and his Ronald M. Bradley foundation have donated to many Hunt Country causes, including a six-figure gift to the National Sporting Library and Museum. The guest list for the mid-October wedding included a mix of 80-plus friends and family from near and far: Mia and Donald Glickman, Mary Frances Smoak and Bill Walde, Ursula and Ken Rietz, Daphne and Stuart Himelfarb, Stephanie and Tim Bates and Colleen Hahn with Scott Abeel. The ceremony was held on the lawn with a Champagne reception in the renovated blue and gold ballroom. Dinner and dancing to a big band orchestra followed in a tent poolside — all in the style of a 1940s-era dinner party, with lobster thermidor, châteaubriand and a Bananas Foster wedding cake. Patty Montgomery chats with Clarice Smith at the opening of “Painters of the Piedmont.” (Photo by Margaret Littleton)

SOCIAL NOTES: Preservationist and

art aficionados came out for the opening reception of “Painters of the Piedmont” at the National Sporting Library to benefit the Piedmont Environmental Council as part of its 40th anniversary. The 30 works chosen for the show included three from honorary chairman Clarice Smith, who works out of her studio at “Heronwood” in Upperville. … Michelle and Randy Rouse recently kicked off the holidays at “Hillcrest,” their home in Arlington. It was a convivial combination of memorable greats from Washington: Austin Kiplinger, Joe Smoak, and Ralph and Maria Evans (does anyone remember the Evans Farm Inn in McLean?). Add to this Hunt Country luminaries Jan Neuharth and Joseph Keusch, Jim Gable, Monica Greenberg, Anne and “Til” Hazel, Patti and Phil Thomas, Joe Richards, Jerry Fishback and Donna Rogers. And the highlight

of the evening? When Randy sat down next to his long-time piano accompanist and played the saxophone. It was music magic. … As the most recent scandals in Washington unfold it should be noted how often the countryside of Virginia offers solitude and solace. In October, Gen. David Petraeus and his wife Holly celebrated the marriage of their daughter Anne to Matthew Mauney at “Rosemont Manor” set on 60 lush acres in Danielle Kazmier and Ron Berryville and once Bradley were married at owned by the late home at “Lockesly Manor” in Millwood, Va. (Photos by Virginia Governor Carolyn Monastra) and U.S. Senator Harry Flood Byrd Sr. During its 200year history, the estate has hosted Presidents Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon as well as Charles Lindbergh, Albert Einstein, Adm. Chester Nimitz and actor John Wayne. … Meanwhile, as the crow flies across the countryside to Washington (Virginia, that is), it was reported that Paula Broadwell, the Other Woman implicated in the general’s downfall, spent her 40th birthday at the ever-so chic Inn at Little Washington. No doubt reservations at both locations will increase. REAL ESTATE: Finally, for anyone seeking seclusion in the nation’s capital, Gloria Armfield and Jim Thompson of Washington Fine Properties’ Middleburg office have listed “Creek Ridge,” on 23 wooded acres bordered by Goose Creek. The Italian-style stucco house, built in 2001, features antique floors, a fireplace with a mantel from a Washington embassy, four bedrooms, five and a half baths and a guest house … $3.3 million.

HORSE COUNTRY: Washington may be the center of all things political and diplomatic, but during the week leading up to the heated presidential election, scores of politicos, business and military leaders dropped any (real or perceived) diﬀerences at the ballot box for a few hours of world-class show jumping and hunter and equitation events at the nation’s leading metropolitan indoor horse show. More than 500 horses and the nation’s top riders, including Olympic medalists, participated in the six-day show, chaired this year by Juliet Reed. Highlights included 18-year-old U.S. Olympian Reed Kessler winning the $100,000 President’s Cup Grand Prix (presented by EventsDC), the Puissance (high jump) and WIHS Equitation Finals featuring the country’s top junior riders, including 2012 winner, 18-year-old Elizabeth Benson. Last year I was actually the leading rider going into it and I wasn’t old enough to do it, so I really wanted to come back this year to seal the deal,” said Kessler, who was also the youngest U.S. Olympic equestrian in London last summer.

TENNIS MECCA: Few sports have come on stronger and with more community support here in recent years than tennis. The nationally acclaimed Washington Tennis and Education Foundation (WTEF) dedicated its long-awaited Tennis, Education and Community Center at its new East Capitol campus as part of a public-private partnership with the city which stands to help more at-risk students and expand programs to the Ward 7 community. The new center in Southeast has the first program in the country to combine academics with tennis training and boasts six indoor courts, nine outdoor courts, three classrooms, computer room, fitness room, staff offices and a community room that provides a meeting space for neighborhood needs. Mayor Vincent Gray lauded donors who supported the $10 million project, including area individuals, foundations and corporations, among them a orney C. Boyden Gray, businessman/philanthropist Calvin Cafritz and Joe Horning of Horning Brothers. “Opening this Center has been our dream,” WTEF Executive Director Eleni Rossides said. “We’ll now be in the backyard of some of the District’s most neglected, underserved children.”

ohn and Danielle Dooley grew up less than 20 miles away from each other. They attended the same summer camps and had mutual friends. It took an anatomy lab at Columbia University Medical School for them to meet and hours of poring through medical books together to fall in love. Medicine connected them, so it was no surprise that when time came to design their 1,748-square-foot dream home in Georgetown, the Dooley’s let medicine advise them. “There is a concept in the medical world called a patient centered medical home,” Mrs. Dooley says. “You try to make the medicine as personalized to the patient as possible, while at the same time empowering them to take care of themselves. We approached finding a designer with that same thought process.” She goes on to explain that she and her husband were seeking guidance through the design process without losing themselves along the way. As a couple who spends their days caring for other’s families, Mr. Dooley as an internist at Foxhall Internists and Mrs. Dooley as a pediatrician for Unity Health Care, they needed their home to be a sanctuary where they could enjoy the remaining bits of the day as a family. And though it wasn’t a short road that led them to their 1985 Georgetown townhouse, they saw more than 50 houses in two years before they found exactly what they needed in designer Marika Meyer. The designer prides herself on “practical luxury” and “functional beauty” while Mrs. Dooley describes her primary design goal as “enlivening the home with functional elements in a luxurious grown-up space.” The two couldn’t have been a better match. Inside the Dooley residence on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, a photographer, a near-term pregnant designer, a nanny, two doctors and two children (Jack and Catherine) scurry about in different directions. Not surprisingly, Mrs. Dooley says it is typical of the daily life of two doctors raising small children. Mr. Dooley indulges a photo shoot in the 30 minutes he has to spare before leaving for work as his wife helps Catherine change from her party dress to

Five minutes later Mr. Dooley is out the door, the nanny is whisking Catherine to school and Jack is contentedly playing a game on an iPhone.They are a well-oiled machine. The house should be chaotic and messy but it feels real instead. It has life, character and family touches in every corner — from the volumes on the bookshelf written by Mrs. Dooley’s father and the desk in Catherine’s room that once belonged to her great-grandmother to the centuriesold map collection that Mr. Dooley has been painstakingly assembling for years. Even the vintage sideboard that Mrs. Dooley found at a neighbor’s yard sale was refinished by a mother-daughter duo. “We had so many pieces that were crucial for us to incorporate and [Marika Meyer] did it so well. Not everyone

could take old family items and mix them with modern pieces to create the same respite that she gave us,” Mrs. Dooley says. She loves that they finally have a grown up house to entertain in, with space for the kids to play. For the first time, Catherine and Jack have their own rooms, decorated to their liking, plus a playroom in the basement. “You have no idea what a big step it was for us not to have toys in our living room constantly,” Mrs. Dooley says. Watching her and Mrs. Meyer chat animatedly about their holiday plans and how much fun they had bringing their project to completion, it was easy to see that what they had achieved was more than an aesthetically pleasing interior design. They had created a welcoming oasis and a living testament to the enduring power of family. 87

HOME LIFE | HISTORICAL LANDSCAPES

To Paris and Back The tragic saga of a Washington debutante BY DONNA EVERS

he story of Katherine Elisabeth Johnson’s life reads like a novel. In fact, her daughter, Patricia DalyLipe, did write a book about it, “A Cruel Calm: Paris Between the Wars.” Elisabeth, as she was called, grew up in the early 1900s Washington society. Her mother, Katharine Hemmick, married Oliver Hazard Perry Johnson, the president of the National Metropolitan Bank of Washington. She was a friend of Alice Pike Barney, the heiress who built Studio House on Sheridan Circle to promote the arts in Washington. When Alice married Katharine’s brother Christian when she was 53 and he only 23, it made the sort of headlines neither family wanted. Shortly after Elizabeth’s debutante party, she met Malcolm Whitaker, a good-looking and well-connected young man who asked her to marry him. Katherine and Perry Johnson were delighted since he certainly seemed like “the right one” for their daughter. The newlyweds went to Paris to live, where Whitaker could pursue his interest in aviation. They found an apartment on the Ile Saint-Louis and threw themselves into an exciting cultural milieu that would have thrilled Gil Pender, the main character in Woody Allen’s film, “Midnight in Paris.” James Joyce was their upstairs neighbor, and Elisabeth bought her copy of “Ulysses” from her friend, Sylvia Beach, the publisher and proprietor of the famous bookstore Shakespeare & Co. Elisabeth went to literary get-togethers with Natalie Barney, Alice Pike Barney’s daughter, whose salon was only rivaled by Gertrude Stein’s. She rubbed elbows with Djuna Barnes, Coco Chanel and William Carlos Williams. She and her husband were among the thousands of excited spectators at Le Bourget airfield on May 21, 1927, when Charles Lindbergh landed

after his historic solo flight across the Atlantic. They had a perfect life, except for one thing. Their marriage was never consummated. When Elisabeth discovered that her handsome but distant husband was having an affair with another man, she was shocked and betrayed. Being Roman Catholic, she began an unsuccessful odyssey to get the marriage annulled. Meanwhile she fell in love with a dashing young aristocrat, Count Amedee Costa de Beauregard. The count wanted to marry her, but she refused to do so until she got the annulment because French society would never accept her or the marriage if she had been divorced. This went on for years. Finally in desperation, Elisabeth left France. Having no other recourse, she went to Reno, Nev., to get a divorce. She and the count continued to correspond and when she returned to New York, she got word that he was coming to America to get her. Bringing her uncle Christian Hemmick along for courage, she went to meet his ship.When he started down the gangplank, she went up and met him halfway. They had a conversation after which he slowly turned and walked back up into the ship, never to set foot on American soil or to see her again. Elisabeth met and married Daly Highleyman, a successful businessman and inventor. They had a daughter, Patricia, but the marriage did not last. Elisabeth and Patricia then divided their time between homes in Georgetown and La Jolla, Calif. Elisabeth battled cancer for years, and died

when Patricia was only 18 Elisabeth Johnson years old. When Patricia painted by Simon went to La Jolla to close Ewes circa 1922 their California house down, she stumbled upon hundreds of letters bundled and tied neatly together with ribbons. They were the many years’ worth of love letters from the heartsick young count to her mother. Decades later, Patricia and her husband were visiting the town where her mother was born, and went to the church to look for family records. There they found a yellowed and crumbling letter that apparently had never been forwarded to Elisabeth, granting her the annulment she had so desperately sought for much of her young life. Donna Evers, devers@eversco.com, is the owner and broker of Evers & Co. Real Estate; the proprietor of historic Twin Oaks Tavern Winery in Bluemont,Va.; and a devoted student of Washington area history.

MY WASHINGTON Hugh Newell Jacobsen, architect

8 6

HOW HAS YOUR PROFESSION CHANGED THE MOST OVER THE YEARS? The name of the chief architect of a project is less recognized now than the builder/developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. How we see architects and the word itself used to imply something that was limitless, but now it seems to be regarded as something considerably more marginalized, which is false of course. SHARE A BIT OF ADVICE FOR AN ASPIRING YOUNG ARCHITECT. Good designers and architects are being disillusioned by the fear of lawsuits and risk. But I know of no career where one can achieve success without sticking their necks out a bit.There is nothing wrong with having audacity in what you believe and polite defiance when you are challenged. Also, photograph your work but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be so bent on getting published.Try to win awards and pay close attention to these new bloggers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what that means. But I know they have millions of followers worldwide.The rest will come.

MY TOP SPOTS 1. My favorite thing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; period â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is sailing with my son Simon and his friends aboard his 48-foot yacht Charrette to destinations that include New York and Oxford, St. Michaels and Baltimore, Md. I especially like retracing the battle of Yorktown and various movements of the War of 1812. 2-3. The East and West wings of the National Gallery of Art are the perfect manifestation of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique grid and geometry turned three-dimensional. It is a masterpiece in the exploitation of light for the urgency of art. Ironically, it really should be called The Museum of Air & Space, as it is a tribute to both. 4. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tavern is the essence of old Georgetown and where non-political Washingtonians accidentally rub elbows with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;off the clockâ&#x20AC;? power elite â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they also serve Welsh rarebit. It reminds me of the darkened pubs of London where I studied architecture after Yale following World War II. All you could get back then was Welsh rarebit. 5-6. La ChaumiĂ¨re and Bistrot Lepic. I like to think that I have a table in these places, but they both are so popular with Georgetown Francophiles that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold one just for me. The cuisine is sinisterly good with a thoughtful and attentive staff, who beg me not to speak French! 7. The Metropolitan Club. Uniquely built as a club and not a grand house that was later converted, the architecture and art there embody the post-Civil War period to the 1920s. A little bit of the frontier attitude remains with the paintings of great men holding swords with a look of slight desperation on their faces. 8. The only criterion for membership at the Cosmos Club is that you must have done something important for society. I love to spend a few quiet moments reading in its first-class library.

TELL US ABOUT THE NEW FURNITURE LINE YOU HAVE CREATED WITH YOUR SON SIMON. It is inconceivable to me that an architect can design a building and not do the interior and furniture as well. I start designing a building inside out, taking into account how a person sits and converses and what they see while doing so.Where do they sleep, how do we hide the cars, how many shoes do they have? And there is always a dog it seems. Because of these efforts, people look good in my buildings.The interiors drive the execution of the exterior and that is why they are unique.The furniture pieces that are now available are as important as the buildings.There are not many furniture stores in the world that sell the work of just two architects!
