Pink Aid’s second annual luncheon once
again exceeded all expectations. About
500 women (and a few good men) came
together to support local uninsured and
under-insured women battling breast cancer,
raising close to $500,000. And those giving
got every bit as much out of the experience
as those receiving.
As women arrived from Fairfield County,
New York City and beyond, they mingled
and checked out the silent auction
featuring stunning Pink Chairs, created
by over 30 top interior designers, exciting
trips, art, jewelry and designer wares from
Mitchells and other local vendors.

A MID-SUMMER
NIGHT’S DREAM
Three fabulous evenings: Fashionista, Luxurious & Autumnal

Customers were primped

and pampered during our
series of Dream Nights.

We kicked off summer 2012 on the patio at Mitchells with a series

of cocktail gatherings themed “A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream.”
Each dream night showcased the hottest looks of the season from
designers we know and love such as Alexander McQueen, Brunello
Cucinelli, Etro, Stella McCartney, The Row, Valentino and many
more! Alongside the fashion, local businesses including Blow Dry
Southport, Trish McEvoy, Red Lulu Cocina & Tequila Bar, SPECS,
Finalmente Trattoria and Pane e Bene joined Mitchells in ringing
in the summer season through must-have makeovers, hair how-to’s,
splashy signature cocktails and seasonal hors d’oeuvres.
Look for the next series lauching this summer!

A “ROARING” GOOD
TIME FOR ALL

Scott Mitchell, Aundrea Amine, Paula Zahn, Giovanna Miller, Jack Mitchell

We are truly honored to have received the President’s Award

last fall at the annual Greenwich Hospital Gala benefiting the
Greenwich Hospital Emergency Department. The Roaring
’20s was the theme of the night and guests turned out
dressed to the nines.
From the festive attire, the music selection bringing back
old memories, and the silent auction unlike any other (with
incredible prizes such as a stay at a private South African
game reserve and an Hermès Birkin bag), the evening was
truly spectacular.

Scores of local fashionistas turned out on September 6th for a

night of fashion, fun and games at our 2nd Annual Fashion’s Night
Out. Marshs hosted an exclusive fall fashion preview featuring
client models, while guests stepped into a Carnival at Richards
and Mitchells. Guests tried their luck at our Prize Crane, once
again in support of Pink Aid, and spun to win on our very own
Prize Wheels. Stilt performers drew quite a crowd in Greenwich,
entertaining delighted fashionistas, while models rocked the
runway in Westport to DJ Kynz’s Yacht remix.

“THANK YOU” TO FIRST RESPONDERS

As Bill Mitchell said, “Two words: Thank you!” Local communities’
emergency responders, town employees, volunteers and residents,
from Weston to Westport, turned out at Mitchells in December to
give thanks to all who bravely assisted all those in need during the
devastating Hurricane Sandy that rocked our area back in October,
and for all of their tireless efforts throughout the year.

Whatever it is, keep them coming!

California, Here I Come!
Tyler Mitchell, pictured with Wilkes Bashford

When I heard about the opportunity to merge with

Wilkes Bashford, I was all over it! I had seen our company
merge with Richards and Marshs, and I thought ‘How cool...
California!’ Getting to work with a fashion icon each day
and completing world-class renovations has been a dream!
Come let Wilkes and I welcome you to the Townhouse!

We want to hear your story. Email us at stories@mitchellstores.com.

My Best Advertisement
Eleni Kasparis
Hermès Specialist, Mitchells
Since 2008

I have this strange talent for

remembering each of my clients’
wardrobes. I had one longtime
client who had me come to her
house and help her sort out
her closet. I was able to bring
new pieces to mix in, because I
already knew much of what I’d
find there! We refreshed
and updated her look and now
she looks amazing. We took
pics to remember outfits and
she uses them as a guide. Now
every time someone gives her a
compliment, she says “Eleni.”
Once a Customer,
Always an Associate!
Rocco Messina
Richards Associate Since 2000

After being an avid customer for

10 years, and leaving corporate
America, I decided to get into sales.
Having been born in Italy, you’ll
understand why fashion is in my
genes; so I was lucky to land a job
at my favorite store! My specialty
is “edgier” men’s designs. I love to
see customers step a bit out of their
comfort zones... and I’m always the
one to turn up the music to create
the excitement at a party. This
season, the brighter colors are in.
Orange, lime green, and how about
colored denim for men? Come in
and let’s have some fun!

We want to hear your story. Email us at stories@mitchellstores.com.

A New Generation of Style
Gerald Eugene, Ermenegildo Zegna
Specialist, Marshs Since 2007

A young man in his 20s walked into

the store one day. As he haplessly
rustled through the racks, I could tell
he had little concept of style. He told
me he had just gotten a promotion
and wanted to look the part. Since
he had never shopped for quality
clothing, he came to Marshs on the
recommendation of his grandfather.
I asked his family name, and when
it was revealed, I smiled knowingly.
Nearly a decade earlier, the young
man’s grandfather stood before me as
one of my first clients!
One Big Family
Laure Sudreau-Rippe
Lawyer, Reiki Master, Lung Cancer Activist
Mitchells Customer Since 2003

After losing both parents to cancer, I knew

what I had to do when my husband was
diagnosed with lung cancer five years
ago. We gave up our careers to fight this
battle, personally and through activism.
We approach wellness from all angles...
medically, spiritually and nutritionally.
The Mitchells hosted a fundraiser for Lung
Cancer Research Foundation last year, and
likewise, I support their causes. I love how
they embrace customers and make our
community feel like one big family.

We want to hear your story. Email us at stories@mitchellstores.com.

Kindred Spirits
Monica Rich Kosann
Photographer/Jewelry Designer

Designing jewelry is my main business,

but I’ll never give up my first love,
photography. I enjoy working with people
to capture the right emotion... sentiment
is so important to me. That’s where I’m
like the Mitchells. I, too, get close to my
customers. First I take photos, then I
help them display them. Or I’m layering
a client up in jewelry and then putting
secret inscriptions and photos inside!
Working with them is the best part!
 Hooray for Bollywood!
Jennifer Lau, Sandra Fleming & Lollie Mathews
Co-Chairs of Near & Far Aid Gala 2013

The best part about working on Near & Far is

the people you meet... committee members,
people running the non-profits we support
and grant recipients themselves. You bond in
a special way with like-minded people who
share a passion for this work. We so enjoyed
working with Bob and Andrew Mitchell on
our spectacular Bollywood-themed event. It
would never have happened without them!

The entire Wilkes Bashford team and Mitchell
family invite our friends from the East Coast to join
our Bay Area community and visitors from around
the world in discovering our two magnificently
redesigned stores in San Francisco and Palo Alto.
With the ambitious goal of turning Wilkes
Bashford’s legendary Union Square flagship into
a San Francisco icon, we worked with renowned
architecture firm Gensler Worldwide. The result
is a sophisticated 7-story metaphorical townhouse,
complete with a Grand Foyer to welcome you and a
Penthouse on top, where you’ll find a bar and lounge
to enjoy while shopping for men’s custom clothing.
Throughout the Townhouse, you will observe
the use of unique materials that combine the
artisanship of Italy, where a lot of our clothes
“Stylish, timeless and oh so chic.
Wilkes is a must-stop on every fashion
connoisseur’s world tour.” MICHAEL KORS
J>;EJ>;H9E7IJ
come from, mixed with wonderful uniquely San
Franciscan details, like wood salvaged from the
Presidio and a wall plastered with San Francisco
Chronicle articles!
Redesigning the new stores included collaborating
with several of the world’s top designers, including
Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Kiton, Brioni and
Ermenegildo Zegna... to create the newest generation
of their boutiques in both of our stores.
Our Palo Alto store, which caters to the Silicon
Valley crowd, was also completely transformed. Both
stores are designed to offer uniquely welcoming
shopping experiences. Look for Tyler Mitchell or
Wilkes Bashford (other Mitchells are often in store
as well) in the Townhouse or any of our associates in
either store and let us show you around!

For years, Carin and husband David Riley

have collaborated with our creative team as
our “go-to” still life photographers for fashion,
accessories and jewelry.
Meanwhile, Andrew Mitchell-Namdar has
become a fan and collector of her drawings,
which he has purchased for all of our stores,
including our renovated Wilkes Bashford
stores in California, as well as for his homes.
Now, with galleries in Greenwich and
Scarsdale, a show in London and a queue
of commissions, the artist finds herself an
overnight “art world sweetheart.”
Riley was born in New York City and
studied with famed minimalists including
Richard Serra, Brice Marden and Richard
Artschwager. Their influence is evident in
her work. Though her emphasis is still on line
and shape, she now straddles the abstract and
figurative, her lines assuming representational
guises. She keeps scrapbooks of inspiration
and interprets concepts with a unique freehand.
“I predicted from day one that Carin’s
day would come,” says dear friend Andrew
Mitchell-Namdar. “I am thrilled for her!”

Gone are the days when a man’s wardrobe
consisted of a few suits and some jeans
and khakis.
Following the lead of women’s wear
— which long ago shifted from suits to
separates — as the workplace has become
more casual, a new way of men’s dressing
has emerged. Many men who once wore
suits every day now reserve them for special
occasions... but that doesn’t mean they
dress for work as if going to a ball game.
Hence, the evolution from suit to
“luxury casual.”
When is “luxury casual” worn? For
the well-dressed man, a large percent of
the time. It’s ideal for the office or a board
meeting, whenever a suit is not required.
It’s perfect for a nice dinner or a country
club. It has the sophistication to take you
D;M8HKD;BBE9K9?D;BB?7D:BEHEF?7D7C;D¿I8EKJ?GK;I?DH?9>7H:I
to the theater, a party or an art opening...
you get the idea.
The key pieces in “luxury casual” are
a mix of various components. The sport
jacket is the most important element of
“luxury casual.” It is unconstructed and
may be cashmere, linen, leather, suede,
velvet or even a fine wool/cashmere
sweater. The pant ranges from dress slacks
to cords to cleaner, darker denim or even
shorts. The shirt is a sport shirt that may
be layered with a “dressy” tee and/or polo.
A zip-neck cashmere sweater often makes
the scene, or sometimes a great vest.
Accessories have also joined the
evolution. The standard men’s “go-to”
shoe wardrobe used to consist of dressy
wing-tips and docksiders. Today, great
boots, dressy casual shoes and a pair of
As “luxury casual” has become increasingly
sought-after by our customers, we are thrilled
to announce the opening of new and expanded
Brunello Cucinelli and men’s and women’s Loro
Piana boutiques in Richards.
Richards is the exclusive Brunello Cucinelli
retailer in Greenwich. And like Greenwich itself,
the Loro Piana brand is rooted in heritage and
quality. We can’t think of a better match!
brown suede shoes are a must to complete
your relaxed and casually elegant look.
Men’s lightweight scarves, popular in
Europe, are starting to filter in here as well.
Which designers to look for? In our
stores, the leaders in “luxury casual”
are Loro Piana, Brunello Cucinelli and
Ermenegildo Zegna. Loro Piana, a pioneer
in this space, represents truly timeless
luxury... it’s about buying classic pieces of
the finest materials that you can wear for
a long time. Brunello Cucinelli’s styling
is a bit more fashion-driven, with trimmer
fits, sumptuous fibers and earthy palettes
with pops of color. Ermenegildo Zegna’s
brand of “luxury casual,” as you’d expect, is
more of a direct evolution of the suit, with
sleeker lines and slightly more structured
sportcoats.

If you are like most men, you may be
under the assumption that if you’ve ever
bought a tuxedo, as long as it still fits,
you can wear it for life.
Unfortunately, this notion has led to
the advent of many men walking around
in some very dated-looking formalwear!
Like in men’s suits, there has been a
big shift in the way a modern tux should
look and fit. Today, tuxedos also have
the new, more form-fitting silhouette,
which includes a slimmer leg and jacket,
a shorter jacket and a flat-front pant.
(Pleats are
out!) Lapels are
narrower and
still may be
shawl, peak
or notched.
Three buttons
are another
tell-tale
sign of an While most tuxedos are in the standard So if your tux is looking boxy or baggy,

J?FI<EHFHEF;HBO799;IIEH?P?D=OEKH<EHC7BM;7H
Vest or cummerbund? Either still works.
Bow tie or “regular” tie? While a bow tie is
still the more classic formal choice, a “regular”
tie is also a great modern look, but it should be
a dress tie, rather than a tie you would wear to
work. A dress tie should be a solid black, white,
gray, silver or the color of your choice, in silk.
Do I still wear my shiny shoes? Today’s dress
shoe also has a slimmer silhouette, so they’re
okay, as long as they’re not chunky or boxy.
Today, most men wear a great black suede or
formal black leather shoe... Dedicated “tux
shoes” are no longer needed!
Plain white dress shirt or pleated or bibbed
shirt? More fitted, pleated or bibbed shirts are
very much in style. Some tux shirts are simpler
with less detail, but a plain white dress shirt is
not appropriate to wear with a tuxedo.
Studs and cufflinks? Yes! It’s your opportunity
to have fun and show your personality! We have
a stunning selection of unique cufflinks and
studs.
Is a black suit passable as black tie? If you
want to be a bit less formal or more “creative” Should I wear a pocket square with my tux?
in your black tie, a good black suit may be worn, You may and if so, a simple white square will do
but dress it up with more formal accessories. the trick.

Rule 1
IMPORTANT: IT’S OKAY TO
LOOK LIKE THE BOSS!
You’ll never be denied
an opportunity
because you look too
professional. On the
other hand, clothes that
work for the gym or
backyard could very
well hold you back. As
the saying goes: Dress
for the job you want,
not the one you’ve got…

A SPORTCOAT IS ALWAYS

Why not try a modern

A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
PHILIPPE COUSTEAU MAKES ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION LOOK
GOOD. BY DONALD CHARLES RICHARDSON

hen Philippe Cousteau was a boy, he wanted to

be a fireman. Then, on his 16th birthday, his
mother and sisters gave him a present: a
research trip to Papua New Guinea. Since then
he’s been traveling the world, from enduring the
cold of Antarctica to providing humanitarian aid in war-torn
Sarajevo.
A self-described “explorer, social entrepreneur and envi-
ronmental advocate,” Philippe Cousteau is the 32-year-old
son of Jan and Philippe Cousteau Sr. He is also, of course,
the grandson of legendary Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
“My grandfather taught me to always innovate... always
question,” he says. “Each of us has the responsibility to
make the world a better place.”
Cousteau takes this responsibility very seriously. For him,
exploring the connections between humans and the environ-

ment is as important as exploring nature itself. He is co-

founder of Azure Worldwide, a strategic environmental design,
development and marketing company. Along with green site
design and planning, eco-tourism and new media, they’re using
interactive gaming “to help people understand how their
actions impact the environment.” Cousteau is also a special
correspondent for CNN International, hosting the Going Green
series and reporting on environmental and humanitarian
issues. He serves on the boards of directors of The Ocean
Conservancy, the Marine Conservation Biology Institute, the
National Environmental Education Foundation and the
National Council of the World Wildlife Fund. He has also testi-
fied to Congress on ocean management and off-shore drilling.

 In addition, Cousteau is president of EarthEcho
International, a non-profit organization he founded
with his sister and mother, whose mission is to
encourage youth to take action that restores and
protects our water planet. “My grandfather was a
wonderful storyteller and communicator,” Cousteau
reveals. “He believed you could change society
through kids.” Following this philosophy, EarthEcho
combines education, balanced advocacy and a com-
mitment to action, providing programs and tools for
students to undertake local projects to help the
environment. It also includes training in citizen
journalism, workshops that teach young people how
to write and tell stories about the environment and
the world they live in. “If they can learn [how to
write], their words have meaning. They have power,”
he emphasizes. Cousteau is the co-author, with
Cathryn Berger Kaye M.A., of Going Blue: A Teen
Guide to Saving the Oceans, Lakes, Rivers, &
Wetlands (Free Spirit Publishing, 2010) and Make A
Splash!: A Kid’s Guide to Protecting Our Oceans,
Lakes, Rivers, & Wetlands. “We’ve seen firsthand the
passion young people have for the environment.
EarthEcho’s focus is to empower youth to make a
difference…. Adults often tell me they now recycle
because their kids insist on it.”
xtending his social and environmental
work to the financial realm, Cousteau has
partnered with AdvisorShares Investments
to launch the Global Echo Exchange
Traded Fund on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE: GIVE), as well as to form
the GlobalECHO Foundation, a 501 (c)(3)
for which he serves as co-founder and chairman.
“The GlobalECHO Foundation is dedicated to sup-
porting projects and organizations that have the
power to transform communities and inspire posi-
tive change well beyond their geographic bound-
aries,” he explains.
Despite the seriousness of his business, Cousteau
110
has a charming sense of humor. His personal style
is both classic and delightfully unique. In a dress
shirt (no tie), a vest and jeans (with a jacket draped
over his suitcase), he also wears two cords around
his neck—one featuring a carved cow horn from
“ADULTS OFTEN TELL ME
THEY NOW RECYCLE BECAUSE
THEIR KIDS INSIST ON IT.”
Zanzibar, the other a silver shark tooth—as well as
numerous bracelets, including one made of wooden
beads from South Korea, another of Guatemalan
embroidery, and a silver one from his fiancée.
Due to his busy schedule, which on any given day
might include taping a television segment during a
jungle trek, then attending a fundraiser or making a
personal appearance, Cousteau has had to learn
which clothes work for him in various settings. For
TV appearances in the wild, he chooses blue cotton
shirts and khaki pants; he even has the pants tai-
lored for a perfect fit.
For casual wear he likes jeans (which he lets his
fiancée pick out), and on dressier occasions, he
prefers three-piece suits. (Recently Cousteau “is
into vests,” in part because they offer pockets for his
latest passion: pocket watches.)
The sense of adventure that has taken Cousteau
all over the globe for his work is also reflected in his
private life. He even has a list of things he thinks he
(and every man of style) should be able to do: fix
things around the house, ride a motorcycle, drive a
stick shift, tie a bow tie, choose the best wines and
spirits, prepare good meals, and barbeque. And
what does a man who travels 300 days a year do for
vacation? Cousteau smiles. “When work is swim-
ming with great white sharks, a day off is sleeping in.”

A GRAPE
NIGHT’S SLEEP
LUXE WINERIES THAT ACCOMMODATE BEYOND
THE TASTING ROOM. BY SHIRA LEVINE
Sleeping where you drink doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a well-
pickled grifter, but the warm buzz from a few glasses of pinot noir
undoubtedly nudges most of us into a deep rest. When spending
a snug few nights within a winery, exclusivity, top-notch ameni-
ties and epic landscapes combine to make a sensational bottle
taste that much better.
We got our teeth red to bring you three of our favorite winery
refuges, encouraging you to toss the keys on the mahogany table,
stay the night, and wake up to a crisp sparkling white…for breakfast!
CASTELLO DEL TREBBIO IN PONTASSIEVE, ITALY
Anyone can drink good wine in Italy, but not everyone can say
they’ve clinked glasses and spent the night in a medieval castle.
Located atop the San Brigida hills roughly a half-hour from
Florence, the castle-turned-mansion villa is surrounded by lush
grape vines, olive groves and saffron crocuses.
Trebbio offers a subtle modernity while respecting history and
tradition. (Castles are made of stone and get cold, so central heat-
ing and electricity are fêted where they can be found!) The castle
tower that once protected the fortress still stands, but now serves
as a welcoming entry. The estate warden, although retired, still
greets guests in traditional clothing, and the dungeons with their
once murderous hooks remain to hold Chianti hostage in
Trebbio’s wine cellar. The cave-like restaurant is a relatively
recent addition, whose dishes enhance the celebrated
Riesling/pinot grigio blend and the aforementioned Chianti.
Built by the Pazzi family, Renaissance-era Florentine bankers, the
castle first changed hands in the 14th-century after a bloody clash
with the Medici clan. But today, romance is the main focus on
Trebbio’s 800 acres. The property hosts many a bride and groom
from around the world, as well as those seeking a fairy tale setting
for any occasion.
The villa is separated into three apartments, each rustic and
cozy with its own patio, private garden and swimming pool. (Those
who plan to cook or bring a chef should request the one previously
occupied by the owners; it has the most modern appliances.)
Guests can arrange activities like Italian language courses,
painting or cooking classes and horseback riding. Hiking and bik-
ing trails lined with chestnut trees and olive groves lead from the
villa to the lake and the local village.

 JORDAN WINERY IN HEALDSBURG, CALIFORNIA
The picturesque
roads that snake
through Northern
California’s wine
country don’t just
lead to Napa and
Sonoma. About an
hour northwest is
Healdsburg, an
insider’s enclave.
Filled with fab foodie spots, the town is rich with wineries
that reap their fruits from the crossings of the Russian River,
Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys.
Within that dynamic topography lies the 1,500-acre, fami-
ly-owned Jordan Winery. Tastings are open to anyone with
a palate, but a night’s stay within the 18th century-esque
château (actually built 37 years ago for a reported $15 mil-
lion) is only for oenophiles in Jordan’s loyalty program.
Earn reward points through the purchase of two award-win-
ning wines, a cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay that have
impressed chefs and sommeliers since 1976.
Built by the architects responsible for George Lucas’
Skywalker Ranch, the château includes seven unique rooms,
each with high wood beamed ceilings, red tiled floors and
authentic Louis XIII antiques. Below the suites is the regal
dining room and Chef Todd Knoll’s kitchen, where he and
his hospitality director wife Nitsa marry epicurean innova-
tion with tradition using the freshest ingredients from the
plentiful garden outside. Fava greens, cremini mushrooms
and haricots verts are just a few of the treats served on
Baccarat crystal and Madeira linens to overnight guests like
Bono, Pierce Brosnan and Michael Mina.
After dinner, the lucky are invited to enjoy a glass (or
two) in CEO John Jordan’s private 1920s-style hangar.
Besides a bar, pool table and vintage shuffleboard, he
keeps his bright yellow piper cub plane and a museum
quality collection of World War I and II-era memorabilia
on display to dazzle those who wander in

MATETIC WINERY IN CASABLANCA VALLEY, CHILE

The Casablanca Valley, a midway point between Valparaiso and Santiago, is a wine region just 11
miles from the water, bathed in cool breezes and morning fogs from the Pacific. The result: a ‘pre-
mium cool valley’ where chardonnay and sauvignon blanc vines can thrive.
Just southwest of Casablanca is the futuristic-looking Matetic Winery, discreetly tucked into the
slope of a hillside within the San Antonio Valley. Pioneering 21st-century enotourism, the avant-
garde property features a dramatic oval barrel cellar and two swish tasting rooms replete with a
waterfall.
Try the organic pinot noir, syrah, sauvignon blanc and chardonnay within the gleaming wood and
glass winery, then take a short drive to the elegant yet rustic La Casona. The traditional colonial-
style estancia and hacienda is also a working family ranch and vineyard that sits on 27,000 acres
hugging the Rosario Valley.
The adobe guesthouses are chic and stylish thanks to a 2004 renovation. Seven rooms are each named after a wine and enhanced with a private
terrace. They boast four-poster beds and rich damask curtains that flank windows with views of palm trees and verdant wild gardens (though the
views from the swimming pool are some of the most staggering).
Dining options include the gourmet restaurant Equilibrio or a private chef who prepares indulgent breakfasts and dinners. Organic and sustain-
able is the agenda, so guests can expect mostly handcrafted ingredients, from homemade breads and sheep’s milk cheeses to honeys and jams
made from grape, fig, papaya and pomegranate trees growing on the land. (There’s even a family-run cheese operation to tour on the property!)
