As the holiday season reawakens to the timeless

narrative of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince

– an endearing ballet set to Tchaikovsky’s

beloved score more than a century ago, we are once

again reminded of yuletide charm and grand holiday

traditions through the sanguine eyes of a child; not

to mention legendary visions of an enchanted forest

wonderland and a beautifully choreographed Pas De

Deux between the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Cavalier.

Co-directed by Robin Sherertz-Morgan and Javier

Velasco of the San Diego Ballet Company, the ever-

iconic ballet features an international cast of more

than 100 – a corps of professional dancers from the U.S.,

as well as Russia, China, Japan and Mexico, along with

an ensemble of children from the San Diego School of

Ballet. Per formances are slated for December 3rd and

4th at the Birth North Park Theater [also featuring the

Grossmont Symphony Orchestra and Master Choral],

and again on December 17th and 18th at the UCSD

Mandevil le Auditorium in La Jolla.

Q: In terms of holiday performances that you’ve performed in or choreographed, how does “The Nutcracker” rank?

Robin Sherertz-Morgan: “The Nutcracker” is unique in

that it has so many different resonances for so many

different people.

Javier Velasco: For years, I worked on productions of

“A Christmas Carol” at the San Diego Rep. It was a

unique production, in that the theatre felt that every-

other-year they wanted to re-imagine it. I remember

that audience members would rank the productions as

in “Oh well, this year’s ‘traditional’ version was better

than last years ‘gospel’ version or the ‘swing’ version

from the year before that.” You don’t really get that

with “The Nutcracker” because so much of it has to

do with the joy of seeing children on stage – some

per forming for the first t ime. While the heavy l ift ing is

done by the professional dancers, some of the most

memorable moments in the show come from some of

the smallest per formers.

TS

The Nutcracker

Q: In celebrating your 22nd Season at the San Diego Ballet, how do you keep “The Nutcracker” fresh and somewhat renewed for audiences – while keeping to the tradition of the production?

Morgan: We get this question often. And I guess I would

have to answer it in three different ways. The first is that

when the choreography is re-interpreted by different

dancers, it becomes different. every year’s cast brings

cast changes. Sometimes it is in the principal dancer

roles, sometimes in soloist roles. And in some cases,

parts are double cast. So you could see two different

interpretations of the Sugarplum Fairy in the same year.

Just as Garth Brooks, Celine Dion, and Lady Gaga can all

sing the exact same song and give you a totally different

experience.

The second answer is, in the big scheme of things, we

really don’t do the ballet all that much. In a one year run,

any show on Broadway wil l be per formed more than we

per form “The Nutcracker” in 12 years. And yet, I do not

hear the question, ‘how does “The Lion King” stay fresh?’

FINE sd . c o m L IFESTYLE | LUXURY | L IV ING 19

Which brings us to answer number three: to some

extent, people want to see a repeat experience.

They want the Christmas tree to grow, they want to

see snow fall ing from the sky, and in our production,

they want to see a horde of tiny marzipan sheep zoom

across the stage.

Q: Do you have a favorite scene?

Morgan: My favorite “scene” would probably have to

be the snow scene at the end of Act One. The dancers

are dancing full out. There is snow fall ing everywhere.

The stage turns blue and the music sounds l ike a

cross between a heavenly choir and a blizzard. Then

everything sort of crystall izes into what could be a

scene inside a snow globe.

Q: Why do you think “The Nutcracker” has remained a timeless holiday tradition for so many (of all ages)?

Morgan: I think because it is something that begins

when people are very young. And music is such

a strong l ink to memory. You could say that it has

something to do with the fact that so many l itt le gir ls

take ballet classes and are exposed then, but I think

that there is more to it than that.

We per form “The Nutcracker” throughout the west.

One year, we were in Colorado Springs. I was in the

lobby signing autographs as my character in the

ballet. A very well dressed older woman came up to

me to thank me for the per formance. She had two

sons in the mil itary, on leave from serving in Iraq. As

a surprise, they had flown her out to visit them and to

see our show, because she had always taken them to

see it as children. Just then two young men in dress

whites came up on either side of her and thanked me.

I always wonder what happened to them. I think that

there IS an element about “The Nutcracker” that while

it is FUN, it is also an introduction to “culture,” more so

than a show like “The Grinch.” Get dressed up. Be on

good behavior. Be a better person.

Q: Can we expect any new twists in this year’s “Nutcracker?”

Morgan: When you are working with so many young

per formers, anything is possible. u

San Diego City Bal letsandiegobal let .org

Robin Sherertz-MorganA native of San Diego, Ms. Morgan began her dancing career with the original San Diego

Ballet Company under the guidance of Richard Carter and Nancy Johnson. In 1971, having

been awarded a full Ford Foundation Scholarship to the School of American Ballet, she

trained under such notables as Alexandra Danilova, Stanley Williams, Muriel Stuart and

others. She later danced with the New York City Ballet under the direction of George Bal-

anchine and toured with Suki Schorer’s New York Lecture Ensemble. Since 1986, Ms. Mor-

gan has been developing her reputation in San Diego, first as a notable dancer and later as

a teacher. She has served on the faculty of the School for the Creative and Performing Arts

in Chula Vista, as Rehearsal Assistant for San Francisco Ballet’s San Diego productions of

“The Nutcracker,” “Swan Lake” and “Sleeping Beauty,” and as an officer for the San Diego

Dance Alliance. She founded the San Diego School of Ballet in 1989 and has been building

on successful performances and talented dancers since then.

Javier VelascoMr. Velasco currently serves as artistic director of the San Diego Ballet, having created over

70 original pieces for the company since its inception, including 10 pieces in collabora-

tion with composer, David Burge to commissioned scores. His ballet set to the poems of

Kenneth Fearing, “Love: 20 Cents the First Quarter-Mile,” was given the award for Best

Choreography by the San Diego Dance Alliance, the third time he was been honored by the

organization. He has supplied dances for productions at the La Jolla Playhouse, Old Globe

and has a long-standing relationship with the San Diego Repertory Theatre, where he has

directed and choreographed productions of “A Christmas Carol,” “Cabaret,” “Hairspray,”

“Tommy,” “SUDS,” and many others. Most recently, Mr. Velasco wrote and directed “The

Toughest Girl Alive,” a biographical musical based on the life of blues artist Candye Kane;

the piece was premiered at Moxie Theatre in January 2011 and had a successful run at the

New York International Fringe Festival in August.

Christmas is a many splendored thing; the

crackling of a fire, the scent of a fresh cut ev-

ergreen, and twinkling l ights amid a menag-

erie of ornaments and keepsakes. It is the hustle and

bustle of holiday greetings, a skinny Peppermint Mo-

cha to warm the chil l , along with the opportunity of

hosting family and friends both near and far.

having a home that welcomes fr iends and family is

all part of the magic; helping to create warm mo-

ments where the world stops its cogs and your home

– through its sights, scents and sounds – envelops the

spirit and cheer the season so naturally brings. holiday

home design, according to Suzanne Broyles, a 16-plus

year interior designer [specializing in distinguished

custom projects] of the Coastal home Design Cen-

ter, best reflects the comforts and joys of the season

– from the first impression of an entry, to a memorable

mantel and vignettes through the home.

This is the splendor of the season with both heart and

home in mind.

FiRSt iMpReSSionS: CReating an inViting entRy way

The entry way to any home is just that – a grand en-

trance into the very place in which you l ive l ife, where

memories are created daily with beloved family and

friends. Constituting both the exterior entry and the

foyer, it gives guests that first impression and invitation

to your home.

Broyles: My desire during the holidays is to transform

my porch into a magical experience where my guests

feel welcomed as they arrive. I always start with fresh

garland that wil l wrap around the entire entryway – it

can be hung around the door frame and even the

garage entry. The aroma from the greenery is sure to

capture memories of ol’; and this, to me, is as tradi-

tional as having a tree.

Topiary trees with miniature white l ights add beau-

ty to your walkway or steps; l ining them with lanterns

fi l led with tea l ights and fresh flowers adds a beau-

tiful layer. Lighting comes in an array of color, from

one solid theme (of blues, reds and greens) to multi-

colored. Traditional clear l ights, when accented with

ornaments and/or garland, present a dazzling scene

that exudes warmth and elegance. I also love to use

large wreaths with lots of layers to add that finishing

touch.

At the end of the day when my entry is complete,

I love to sit with a glass of wine as I welcome in the

sights and sounds of the season; fondly remembering

festivit ies of the past, but looking forward to a new

season of endless possibil it ies.

FiReSide FiniSheS: CReating a MeMoRaBle Mantel

Framing the glow of a fl ickering fire, mantels are a

natural focal point and can help set the tone of a

room. Stockings and wreaths are quintessential, most

often fi l led with tr inkets, toys and treats. But do not for-

get the garland; whether it is simply draped or neatly

fitted to the mantel top, garland adds that touch of

natural greenery to any holiday theme with the abil ity

to generate some added drama.

Broyles: I l ike to weave in my collection of nutcrack-

ers along the mantel; but no matter what your collec-

tion offers, display them proudly as family keepsakes

[whether it be antique ornaments, a selection of rein-

deer or snowmen, possibly a menorah, a vil lage or

even Santa Clause figurines]. Placing a collection to-

gether wil l give it a substantial presence in the room,

but also exudes continuity and visual appeal. In addi-

tion, it is always important to use different heights on

your mantle for added depth and that “wow factor.”

Next to the fireplace, I l ike to fi l l glass vases half way

with cranberries and holly, then fi l l ¾ with water; lastly,

place a floating tea l ight on the sur face. Too often we

forget to add a special touch to the hearth.

ADDITIoNAl IDeAS:

•Present a monochromatic scene of ornament balls, candles and collectables.

•Add varied fruit (including apples and pears) or f lorals to the display for a more rustic appeal.

•With different sized glass jars, place unequal amounts of pinecones and cinnamon in each for a burst of holiday scent.

SugaR & SpiCe: CReating SeaSonalFlaVoRS in the KitChen

There is no doubt that the kitchen warms the home

for the holidays; from baked goods and family dinners,

it somehow always becomes a gathering place for

great conversation and fellowship. The key, of course,

is to l imit the number of decorations as to not add

clutter to the space.

Broyles: The kitchen is a place where people love to

gather, but is most forgotten when decorating for the

season. My favorite design tip is to l ine an artif icial,

yet beautiful garland along the top of my cabinets.

I place decorations and small l ights throughout to

customize it and blend elegantly with the rest of my

home; in addition, the small white l ights add a won-

der ful glow all night long.

TABleTop TIpS

•Adding groupings of candles always il luminates and adds a special touch.

• Fill varied sizes of vases with Baby’s Breath; small sprigs can be added to food displays and be placed inside the napkin ring for a more organic feel.

•Do not be afraid to add in color with choice of glassware or serving pieces.

•Using white or off-white linens gives the table a more luxurious presence. Patterns or solid colors can often appear too busy – but can be downplayed with white dinnerware.

ADDITIoNAl IDeAS for The KITCheN

•Pick a theme (such as candy canes, baking or tea); allow the theme to be displayed on a small table-top tree, garland across a window or a possible hutch.

•Placing an advent calendar on the fridge or bul-letin board is a fun, interactive activity for kids of all ages.

•hang a cranberry or boxwood wreath as a focal point – above the sink or on a main window. A round shape is more classic, whereas a square is more modern.

•Oranges or pinecones make great visual additions to tabletops, window ledges and countertops; not to mention the presence of a fresh seasonal aroma.

deCK the hallS: CReating holiday VignetteSthRoughout the hoMe

More than just a tree with l ights and garland, con-

sider the entire home when selecting and planning

holiday décor for a burst of festive spirit throughout;

from a grouping of nativity scenes atop a desk to a

cluster of glittered stars [or possibly star f ish], dangling

mistletoe and layered swags of greens, branches and

bows along the staircase.

Broyles: Garland around your door is as traditional as

a tree. But, perhaps this year try a contemporary flare

by using white garland with clear glass ornaments.

I might also suggest taking ornaments and hanging

them on the ends of si lk r ibbon, mingling contempo-

rary as well as traditional; hung at a variety of lengths

– along the staircase, the ceil ing or even the window.

ADDITIoNAl IDeAS for your home

•Choosing three coordinating colors wil l help pull a look together, while gold and si lver are classic tones; try turquoise, cocoa and burgundy for a rich and sophisticated look; for something a bit more fresh and coastal, try green, blue and white; or possibly grey, red and cream for something more

modern and clean.

• For the i l lusion of snow capped branches, use wispy pieces of cotton batting to l ighten the overall look of the tree.

•Place crumpled newspaper under your tree skirt to bulk it up and eliminate that flat look.

• elevate your tree; place it on a low table for eleva-tion, add a skirt and topper for height.

• For looks without a tree skirt, try placing the tree in a large decorative pot, a wicker basket or even an orchard basket with walnuts, batting or ball orna-ments as fi l ler.

•Paper chains and handmade snowflakes are a fes-tive addition to any child’s room or play area. u

The holiday season is always interesting for the

top toques of San Diego County. Although busy

and hectic, the season provides an opportunity

for chefs to help their guests rekindle comfort and joy

this t ime of year; it is this spir it of festivity that also

over flows into their personal l ives, allowing them to

reflect on past, present and future.

During recent conversations with some of San Diego’s

finest, I sought insight from Chef Jeffrey Strauss of

Pamplemousse Gril le, Chef Jesse Frost of Fairbanks

Ranch Country Club, Chef Bernard Guil las of The

Marine Room, and Chef Paul McCabe of Delicias

[previously of 1540] – who just recently became a

partner. These are their thoughts…

Q: What gives you the most pleasure in the kitchen?

Jeffrey Strauss [pamplemousse grille]: When guests

come in and say “make a great menu for me.” That is

when we shine our best. I consider myself one of the

luckiest people alive. I get to wake up and do what I

love to do every day. I am surrounded with people I

love to work with.

Jesse Frost [Fairbanks Ranch Country Club]: One of

the great things about being a chef is taking raw food

and creating art and then having people ingest it. [he

also indicated that he l ikes being a mentor to young

chefs, aiding them in their culinary development.]

Bernard guillas [the Marine Room]: endless creativity.

Chefs are l ike scientists, artists and magicians. A white

canvas is replaced with a sleek white plate. On our

palette, we use the natural color of ingredients and

textures to awaken all of the senses. It is a journey

through the magic of cooking.

paul McCabe [delicias]: Watching my team grow and

learn, and become completely invested in what we

are doing and watching them grow as chefs. I love

to cook.

Q: What chef had the most influence on you in your training?

Strauss: Jean Claude Nedelec of New York City, the

chef and owner of Glorious Food, who opened my

eyes to remarkable ingredients of quality and what

can be done. This was after stints at restaurants in

France. Nedelec was the first chef that I became

disappointed when he was not in the kitchen cooking

side-by-side with me.

Frost: Roland Passot at La Folie in San Francisco [who is

ski l led, creative, and steeped in culinary tradition that

he learned in Lyons, France.] he taught me a lot about

discipline and having respect for ingredients.

guillas: [Indicated that he did an apprenticeship in

the Michelin two star ‘Restaurant Le Bretagne’ under

the tutelage of Georges Paineau.] It was a fantastic

platform for me to embrace my passion. For three

weeks I would be working at the restaurant and then

go to the Chamber of Commerce Cooking School in

Vannes [France] for a week each month. This is where

I discovered the art of cooking.

McCabe: Michel Blanchette at hermitage. he saw

something in me and brought it out and without that,

I don’t know where I would be.

DIN

ING

Q: Anything new in the kitchen you have been playing with?

Strauss: I took a lamb belly and made lamb bacon and

then used it for a recent wine dinner.

Frost: I have been using veal cheeks; braising them in

red wine, and then serving them with Branzino.

guillas: Global spice such as fennel and dil l pollen,

Middle eastern blends including zaatar, dukkah,

baharat and island spice are the hot trends. Wattleseed

– an Australian outback bush seed traditionally used by

the Aborigines; grounded, I create a blend with spices

and use it as a crust on elk and venison medall ions

on my menu. I also use it with vanil la crème fraîche

gelato. [he also discussed using] lemon myrtle oil, red

quinoa from ecuador and plum powder.]

McCabe: [Indicated that he is using “ultra tex3.”] It is

a modified tapioca starch with zero flavor, does not

need to be heated to activate and can work into

puree and other dishes as well.

Q: What is the most interesting meal you have ever prepared?

Strauss: I have cooked for seven different presidents.

however, my two favorite meals are ones I prepared

for Sugar Ray Leonard in his home and the other was

feeding carrots to my horse, Pamplemousse. [The dish

that he served to Leonard, of which he was very proud,

was a roasted acorn squash with a casserole made of

lobster, scallops, blue prawns and jumbo lump crab.]

Frost: A state dinner for Columbian President Uribe.

[he described a frozen ice plate that he prepared,

featuring a trio of Baja seafood, including abalone

frite served in abalone shell, sea urchin with white

foam and white prawns ceviche.]

guillas: The first dinner that I prepared at the James

Beard house in New York City with Chef Ron Oliver. It

was a seven course tasting menu prepared in a very

small kitchen for 110 of the most influential culinary

aficionados in the City. [McCabe commented about

similar experiences in that venue, as the kitchen is

so tiny it creates a real logistics challenge for chefs;

however, the honor of preparing a dinner at The Beard

house was greatly appreciated and savored by each

of them.]

McCabe: eddie Murphy – who is a big snacker and

loves green M&M’s. however the most challenging

dinner was prepared for Barbara Streisand featuring

a spa-inspired tasting menu with vegan dishes and all

biodynamic wines.

Q: What gets you excited about the holidays?

Strauss: The hustle and bustle; not having enough hours

in the day and watching our whole team (both front of

the house and back of the house) come together and

put out an amazing amount of food of terrif ic quality.

That gets me excited.

Frost: I enjoy how festive the [Fairbanks Ranch Country]

Club is, with decorations and everything else. The

whole Clubhouse is transformed and it is very special

with carolers and lots of festivit ies. I enjoy the family

aspect, famil ies spending special t ime together and

then my opportunity to be with family [as well].

guillas: The buche de noel is my zen way of relaxing

in the kitchen.

McCabe: The change of season really gets me

going! The aromas coming out of the kitchen are

l ike aroma therapy taking me back to my childhood

cooking with my grandmother and gathering with my

family!

Q: What have you planned for your holiday menus?

Strauss: [Indicated that dishes with white truffles from

Italy or black truffles from France – depending on

availabil ity, wil l be featured; especially a dish with

sautéed gnocchi with parmesan cream, served with

either white or black fresh truffles. he also noted that

he wil l have an acorn squash, and one dish that he

prepares that is terrif ic is roasted acorn squash fi l led

with a casserole of lobster, scallops, blue prawns and

jumbo lump crab.]

Frost: [Indicated a whole range of dishes for all of the

special functions at Fairbanks that occur during the

holidays as well as in the dining room for the Club’s

members and their guests.]

guillas: For Christmas, a roasted whole goose with

chestnuts and cipoll ini and, of course, my Uncle

Gilbert’s [the baker] signature recipe – buche de noel

with Griottes and Callebaut chocolate. For New Year’s

eve it wil l include Champagne, caviar, oysters, baked

whole spiny lobster, venison loin with cassis glaze, St.

Agur blue cheese and absinthe chocolate soufflé

and, of course, super wine to pair with and a great

port with cheese.

McCabe: [Indicated that menu planning for the

holidays is a work in process, but] for the family it wil l

be Christmas ham with a glaze and sweet potatoes.

Q: What holiday ingredient is a must for the kitchen?

Strauss: Truffles; but with their cost, they are not for

anyone watching their spending.

Frost: Fresh nutmeg grated with a micro planer.

guillas: A divine fennel pollen blend that I created

a couple of years back. It is amazing and fantastic

for the holidays. This quintessential vibrant aromatic

blend of ancient spices and herbs wil l create a culinary

explosion of f lavors. It can be used for seasoning baked

goods, pie, puddings, cookies, muffins, coffee cake

and it is fantastic to season pot roasts, vegetables,

preserves and pickling.

McCabe: Chestnuts are a must; you have got to have

them. They are so versati le.

Q: Any plans for the holidays?

All of the chefs responded with their work schedules

and lots of holiday festivit ies.

Strauss: Now that I am homeless [as a major remodel

of his home is underway], I am going to spend my days

watching them rebuild my house when I am not in the

restaurant.

Frost: No plans yet. however, my Dad has a 25-acre

ranch in Jamul. All of us go there for Christmas. I have

seven brothers and sisters. All the males are very good

cooks [Jesse is the only professional among them], so

we wil l prepare some wonder ful food.

McCabe: The day after the holidays is when I get to

be with my family! [he also commented about his

new restaurant locale, at Delicias, and that he wil l be

working on new menus to be available in February]. u


H is taste is impeccable. And his style, always

fitt ing. With more than 35 years of expertise

as a master tailor, Gary Sanfir – proprietor of

GSB Men’s Clothier, a European boutique for men’s

fashions in Rancho Santa Fe [since 2008], along with

his wife, Bella, are widely known and respected for

their craft; a notion echoed with recent accolades

including “Best of: Men’s Clothing Store” from a

number of local publications.

Enjoying a nature rapport with clientele, “I count

it a privi lege to educate [our clients] about our

fabrics, patterns, and the designs,” Gary remarked.

“Clothes can make a strong impression on others, so

of course, it is nice to help people make it a good

[one]. We l isten, and take extra care to pamper them

with a comfortable and relaxed setting. We [also

enjoy] making sure the customer feels involved in the

process.”

In getting to know more about the master tailor and

his craft, here is a recent conversation between FINE

magazine and Gary.

Q: Tell us about yourself and your background.

Gary Sanfir: My family has always been involved in

the fashion industry, so naturally I grew up around

various fabrics and designer outfits. My father owned

a large scale production and distr ibution factory

of men’s clothing and when I was 13-years-old, he

arranged for me to learn from the best tailor in town.

My grandmother would sew amazing outfits at home

and so as a young child I was always trying to imitate

her creations.

It was the 1960’s and gentlemen would only wear

custom-made tailored clothing because wearing

factory clothing was considered low-class. By the time

I turned 15, I was sewing clothes for myself and a few

outfits for fr iends. I would experiment and redesign my

dad’s old shirts, grandpa’s l inen suits, fabrics for shoe

insoles, etc.

I’ve been involved in fashion and men’s clothing all

my l ife, tailoring for top designers and men’s clothing

stores in Europe and Los Angeles, and working with

a host of celebrit ies, models and professionals; unti l I

ION

f inally had a chance to open the first GSB retailer in

Los Angeles, and now we have one in Rancho Santa Fe.

Q: What brought you into the tailoring trade?

Sanfir: After graduating from the university with a

degree in business, I began to manage my father’s

clothing factory, and had a lot of success; but

naturally, I wanted to expand, and do something

more creative and use my own hands.

At 26, I started my own design studio producing men’s

neckties, which immediately became a tremendous

success, because I completely redesigned the more

traditional ties into high-end fashionable items.

Fashionistas from all over the country wore my designs

and each installment in the “T ies by Gary” series was

highly anticipated.

Q: What is most rewarding for you?

Sanfir: It’s a real joy to see our clients looking amazing

in their suits, and seeing how happy it makes them is

also incredibly gratifying. Clothes can make a strong

impression on others, so of course, it is nice to help

people make a good impression. Also, when our

clothes are featured in magazines and on television,

we feel rewarded because we are growing and more

people are learning about our store and services.

Q: How has tailoring changed over the years?

Sanfir: Since the 1950s, ready-made clothes have

replaced the “hand tailored suits” in the majority of

men’s clothing trends. The fast pace of modern city

l ife has made it diff icult for customers to go back and

forth to a tailor f ive times for f itt ing, and to wait over

two months for items to be tailored.

As times changed, men have gradually come to

accept clothes and designs that are ready-to-wear.

In response to this new demand, most of the attire

available through the store is ready-made for the

convenience of our customers. These ready-made

suits are stitched together from the world’s f inest

fabrics, and come in sizes to fit any body type. We

think it is of the utmost importance that any customer

FiNe sd . c o m L IFESTYLE | LUXURY | L IV ING 37

who walks into the store should be able to find the

clothes they need immediately and, most importantly,

that they have access as well to the feedback of any

staff in the store.

While technology and the emergence of mass-

production clothing manufacture systems have had a

significant impact on the tailoring industry, celebrit ies

and fashion magazines have done much to restore

the demand for tailored clothing. This trend is actually

growing now, and more and more designers are

introducing “couture” labels.

Q: What are the advantages of having a tailor over buying machine made clothes?

Sanfir: I’ve had clients tell me they felt 20 years younger

when they put on our suits, and others have said that

the suits helped correct their posture. Customers say

that my suits give them another avenue to express

their individuality.

Q: What is the difference between Italian and American/English approaches?

Sanfir: Well, they are certainly both distinct, though

each has borrowed heavily from the other.

It all began in Great Britain and later in Italy, and

everything else was a derivative of these two. Brit ish

designers dominated the scene unti l the mid-1950s,

and known experts of men’s fashion [would] only shop

at stores located in the affluent Savile Row in London.

The motto of the Brit ish tailor has historically been

“nothing personal.” A suit would take the exact form

of the host, and not much personal information would

be exchanged between the tailor and the customer.

The fit would be exceptional, and the suit would be

made from the finest fabrics and the best patterns.

After World War I I, Italian designers — especially

those in Rome and Milan — began to experiment with

the soft si lhouetted look, which symbolized the longing

for a peaceful t ime. They aimed at making clothes

that projected individuality and strong masculinity.

Light and soft fabric, styles in color and figure, and

refinements in the cut were all used to manifest

elegance, which was the aesthetic priority in post-war

fashion. This approach sti l l exists today and has done

much to shape industry standards.

The American-cut suit originated in the late 19th and

early 20th century. It was similar to the English-style

suits, but more explicitly preoccupied with comfort.

The jackets are shorter than European models, with

rounded natural shoulder l ines and a pinch at the

waist l ine. Many European immigrants have shaped

what is known as today’s American style, but American

consumers had the most influence on what styles

and designs they were wil l ing to purchase – further

boosting the trade for American apparel.


Q: How do you do things differently from your competitors?

Sanfir: I always consider and treat my clients as my

equal partners, and my goal is to see that their needs

are met. We engage with our clients, we invest our

time and effort into understanding exactly what the

client does or does not l ike, which helps us cater

to their needs and makes their experience more

enjoyable and rewarding.

Advice from a tailor can go a long way to helping

shape a client’s own fashion tastes and preferences,

and customers are often encouraged by positive

feedback about the way they look. It is very important

that customers feel confident about the way they

look in their attire. Part of a tailor’s job is to insti l l this

confidence.

Customers are our l ifel ine, and we cherish and reward

our loyal customers and always str ive to make new

clients by offering services such as at-home/office

styl ing sessions and consultations, ongoing promotions,

and special exclusive pre-release invitations to

preview new arrivals.

Q: How do you determine the perfect fit?

Sanfir: Please come and see for yourself by ordering

a suit, jacket, or shirts and I wil l personally walk you

through the entire process. It is a very meticulous

step-by-step process that includes understanding

the occasion (formal or casual), establishing a

working timeline, l ikes and disl ikes, posture and

height correction, and of course, the custom-touch

approach to carefully tailoring the needs of the client

and their budget.

Q: Do you use any innovative techniques to fit your customers? Is there an aspect or technique of the trade that you feel is absolutely integral to success that most tailors generally overlook?

Sanfir: My greatest professional assets are my fashion

sense and my attention to detail, which are unique to

me, and the product of nearly 50 years of experience.

Other tailors overlook the importance of the client’s

needs and simply rush them out the door in the

attempt to get more and more business, and they

miss the most important aspect, which is to custom

shape the wardrobe and capture the sophistication

of the individual. It’s sad, but true that random

people struggle so much in the men’s fashion industry,

because you have to be in love with this l ine of work in

order to bring joy to your clients, and I truly appreciate

and love my clients and this work. u

I n celebrating the l ifestyle, luxury and real estate

of North County, Jeff Cole and Danny Power – in-

dependent agents of San Diego’s renowned Guilt i-

nan Group and longtime local residents – extend their

presence and market insight for your consideration,

whether weighing the purchase or sale of a home or

property. And with much personality and charm, the

dynamic duo is consistently among San Diego’s top-

ranked agents – a prestige that is echoed by their cli-

ents and peers alike.

Meet Jeff Cole

Committed to excellence, Jeff – a family man and

highly accredited professional for more than two de-

cades – affords an impressive vitae and market acu-

men; not to mention a signature trademark that is

characterized by his understanding of the market and

personalized service and expertise. Like his smile, his

passion for the l ifestyle and cultural mil ieu of North

County is contagious, well supported [of course] with

valued council and a trusted repertoire within the

community.

Having the distinction of being the number one Agent

in Sales Production for a former brokerage in San Di-

ego, Jeff was recently voted as “The Agent to List

With” by his peers in 2010.

Meet Danny Power

Honing a natural rapport and ever-present tenacious

spirit, Danny – an avid world traveler and Southern

California native – offers clientele a savvy market ap-

proach backed by over a decade of industry exper-

tise. He has an uncanny abil ity to make business both

personal and fun for his clientele.

Having represented the sale of more than $70 mil l ion

during his three year tenure at The Guilt inan Group,

Danny has consistently doubled his annual volume.

Also a l icensed realtor in New York City, he is very

much driven by an unequivocal desire to excel, along

with a natural ‘thirst for l ife.’

Q: What truly makes North County real estate a good

investment?

Danny: The North County Coastal communities have

always been a solid investment due to its l imited avail-

abil ity of homes for sale; not to mention the ideal cli-

mate and affluent demographics. In North County we

enjoy great dining, shopping, award winning schools

Mr. personality [times two]

dAnny poWerjeFF coLe


and many secluded beaches and championship golf

courses; there are activit ies for the entire family. At

current prices and interest rates, our affordabil ity is

the best it has been in a great many years.

Q: What first attracted you to real estate?

Jeff: I was first attracted to real estate as an investor

back in 1984 and started buying single family homes. The

hobby turned into a career and soon I was purchasing

land, commercial properties and foreclosures. I really en-

joy finding a value and improving on it. It is something

that has always made sense to me. The fact that there is

only so much of it –and as something tangible you touch

and affect makes it just that more attractive to me.

Q: How does your approach differ from others?

Jeff: My approach is vastly different than many of

my peers. I uti l ize my expertise to strategize each l ist-

ing and offer, properly positioning my l ist ings to best

achieve the price and terms desired. I seldom take no

for an answer and love the art of negotiation. I have a

highly efficient and talented group of support but am

personally involved in all of my client’s transactions.

Many at my level use their status to acquire the client

and then quickly pass them off to someone else on

their team.

Danny: I love helping people obtain their goals and

dreams and real estate is a great vehicle to do so.

Q: In your opinion, what is the status of the market in

San Diego County?

Jeff: The Status of our local market though sti l l faced

with challenges and pressure from distressed inven-

tory is poised per fectly to rebound. With interest rates

at historic lows which we may never see again, sev-

eral of my most savvy investor clients have recently

increased their buying interest.

Q: What are your general thoughts about real estate

investing?

Danny: I f irmly believe that owning real estate is one

of the most secure investments one can make. Though

timing may be beneficial, having experienced and

knowledgeable representation is of the utmost impor-

tance.

“with so much personality and charm, this dynamic duo is consistently among San Diego’s top-ranked agents...”


F inding solace along San Diego’s northern shore

– neighboring the Agua Hedionda lagoon near

Carlsbad State Beach at Tamarack, the Estates

at Crescent Del Sol per fectly capture the mil ieu of

coastal l iving; affording a classic California l ifestyle

fully inspired by forever views of the Pacific expanse.

A mere two blocks from the sand and sur f, the inti-

mate community of eight vi l las [featuring Mediterra-

nean-style architecture and design] enjoy the privacy

of gated entry, along with well appointed amenities

and custom features.

Spanning an estimated 3,250-4,308 square feet, each

residence hosts three levels of f ine l iving – each un-

veil ing westbound whitewater views and outdoor en-

tertaining. And with a celebrated seaside ambiance,

each vil la extends a generous floor plan with detailed

craftsmanship; from an abundance of natural l ight-

ing and the height of 10-12 foot ceil ings, to hardwood

and travertine flooring, and counters cut from marble

and granite.

A second level gourmet kitchen – unfolding to fam-

ily l iving and dining, serves custom cabinetry in wal-

nut, oversized stainless steel appliances and a cen-

tral is land for easy prep, display and counter seating;

a stone-laden mantel highlights f ireside l iving and

an open space for entertaining family and friends.

Its western front is clad in La Cantina bi-fold pocket

doors, allowing the space to over flow with ease to an

outdoor terrace and loggia – a true luxury that affords

a more organic approach to indoor-outdoor l iving;

residents enjoy alfresco dining, lounging and gri l l ing

while taking in the Southern California sun.

Also of note: an executive office with built- in cabi-

netry, oversized windows and a small patio for read-

ing; wine cellar with wrought iron entry; vestibule and

elevator from garage parking; and a master suite with

fireside seating, spa bath treatments and a private

patio. Not to mention a rooftop deck on the third lev-

el, featuring unrivaled 360-degree panoramic views of

Carlsbad’s beach front and Pacific horizon.

What really separates these homes from the rest of

new coastal development is the engineering and de-

sign of the subterranean area below the project. There

is guest parking for 11 vehicles as well as individual

private 3 and 4 car garages for each resistance with

additional personal 150 square foot storage rooms.

Luxury redefinedcArLsBAd viLLAGe


The private elevators service private entry vestibules

below ground as well.

Named for the popular 19th century Karlsbad Spa in

Bohemia [now Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic], Carls-

bad or “Vil lage by the Sea” – with nearly seven miles

of scenic coastl ine – is characterized by old world

charm and a natural coastal appeal with the con-

venience and pleasures of modern l iving; the oldest

building in the town dates back to 1887, while an ev-

er-present downtown Vil lage has become a hub for

boutique shops, local dining, antiques and l ive music.

Not to mention the allure of the great outdoors – offer-

ing hiking, biking and a myriad of water sports; Carls-

bad State Beach, located at the foot of coastal bluffs,

offers swimming, sur fing, scuba, fishing and beach

combing.

Seven vil las at Crescent Del Sol are currently avail-

able, starting at $1,750,000. u crescent del Sol

...the non-profit faithfully defends its mission to simply “lift the spirits of [American] troops and their families.”

THE uSO: A HOME AwAy FROM HOME

Marines receiving care packages at the Neil Ash Airpost Center - an ongoing program hosted by USO San diego.


With more than 150,000 visits annually here in San

Diego, the USO – otherwise known as the United Service

Organization – dedicates its very being to serving the

U.S. Armed Forces and their families worldwide [Army,

Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Reserve

Component]. Hosting both a Downtown Center – where

in-kind donations and resources are collected and

distributed to military families in need, as well as the

Neil Ash Airport Center – a location that supports new

recruits, deploying units and homecoming celebrations,

the non-profit faithfully defends its mission to simply “lift

the spirits of [American] troops and their families.”

Sara Pagano, the director of programs and

public affairs for the usO’s san diego down-

town center, recently recalled a heartfelt

moment when a young girl – whose father was over-

seas on deployment – selected a watch from one of

their holiday programs known as santa’s store; it was

a special present to send her dad who was away from

home during the holidays. “the significance of the

watch meant so much to him, that since receiving this

gift, he has brought it with him on every deployment,”

Pagano noted.

as the new year fast approaches, along with holiday

festivit ies and the season for gift-giving, we begin tak-

ing time from our hectic schedules to consider how

we can help others and give back to the community.

However, the usO provides assistance to all active

mil itary professionals and their famil ies year round; of-

fering a sense of comfort through a number of services

and programs, and making it easier for those in the

mil itary to adapt and acclimate to a new living envi-

ronment or without a close family member who is on

deployment abroad.

the upcoming santa’s store and the Giving tree

are just two of the many programs that the usO hosts

during the holidays; giving famil ies an opportunity to

bond individually and with the community, to feel

less displaced as they deal with the daily challenges

of mil itary l ife. the santa store welcomes more than

1,000 active duty mil itary famil ies over the course of

three days in december each year; children ages

4-10 are given an opportunity to shop for mom and

dad [or their guardians], visit with santa and share a

home-cooked meal with their family. such programs

i l lustrate the type of support the mil itary community

receives locally, but also extends a sense of belonging

to so many in the process.

lorraine richards – a volunteer of four years for the

usO, helping with various administrative duties and

activit ies including tuesday dinners [a weekly gath-

ering designed for mil itary famil ies to enjoy a family-

style dinner amidst the company of others in similar

situations] – fondly noted how “the usO has been our

home away from home. We have three sons in the

service, [and] they [all] received care packages and

support. the Holiday Program helped my large mil itary

family have a fabulous christmas. Words cannot ex-

press our gratitude. Every time, i am able to see the

joy the [usO] brings to a service member, it makes my

heart swell with pride.”

this year the usO wil l be celebrating a monumen-

tal anniversary – their 70th year of service within the

community; f irst established regionally in 1941. and,

although the usO provides assistance to our armed

forces, ironically, their resources do not come from the

government; however, as a congressionally-chartered

effort, the organization is recognized by the depart-

ment of defense, congress and the President, who

serves as Honorary chairman. the local chapter is pri-

marily funded through financial contributions from san

diego area businesses and the generosity of individu-

als who participate by donating to help keep its pro-

grams alive; in addition, both centers are supported

through the assistance of 250 dedicated volunteers

annually.

as with the endearing story of the young girl who sent

her father a simple watch as a christmas gift, making

him feel loved and thought of while he was away dur-

ing the holidays, Pagano reminisced and comment-

ed, “seeing firsthand the impact of this program and

knowing that we truly brought a smile to that family

during [the holidays] by continuing to provide ‘our

touch of home’ [with] every deployment is just one of

the many reasons i am proud to [be part] of and work

for the usO.” u

Local uSO ProgramsFeed Our troops // Provides sustenance for the weary traveler through homemade soups, sandwiches and healthy snacks at the uSO neil Ash Airport center. individual volunteers and corporate partners assist the center, which can handle between 300-600 new recruits on busier days.

Entertain Our troops // Through weekly pay-per-view access to a wide range of sporting events and feature movies, this program [held at the recently reno-vated Downtown café] offers geo-bachelors and single active duty members a safe and fun environment to hang out on the weekends; the lounge is de-signed to reflect the comforts of home and an opportunity for guests to simply relax. Snacks and beverages are provided and served by friendly volunteers at no cost to our service members.

Care Packages // Offering a way to reach out to loved ones who are about to deploy or those who are already deployed, care packages can be requested for a single military member or the entire unit or command. The packages include a uSO camouflage toiletry kit, non-perishable snacks, entertainment items such as decks of cards and crossword puzzles, and other useful items such as baby-wipes and band aids. Additional items vary based on season.

the therapy dogs // Through weekly visits at the neil Ash Airport center, the List Srv4 Therapy Dog Team provides an unsaid comfort to our active duty members and their families with the help of ‘man’s best friend’; whether it is a child handling a tough good-bye or an active duty member gearing up for a flight to their next deployment, the therapy dogs have the ability to lift spirits and create an unexpected bond.

United through reading® // Helping to ease the stress of separation for military families, this program offers deployed parents an opportunity to read children’s books aloud via DvD for their child to watch at home; a chance to make powerful and lasting parent/child connections from afar. The DvD, a copy of the book, instructions, as well as information on the program are mailed to the child and family back home.

*Additional programs and services are offered for seasonal holidays and celebrations as well

Receiving more than two dozen international awards

in less than a year – including the elusive t it le of “2012

Sport/Uti l i ty of the Year by Motor Trend,” Range Rover,

the Brit ish moniker known for its rugged appeal and

cutt ing-edge [ luxury] sport SUVs since 1948, has

once again captivated a worldwide audience. As their

latest addit ion to the 2012 l ineup, Evoque – avai lable

in a two-door coupe or four-door model, debuted this

year as the smallest, l ightest and most fuel eff icient

Range Rover to-date.

S porty and distinguished, the new Range Rover

Evoque – first appearing as a near produc-

tion concept [Land Rover LRX] at the North

American International Auto Show in 2008 – is taking

the world by storm; nearly 18,000 vehicles were pre-

ordered even before the model was available, with

dealerships already sold out during their fall debut in

the U.S. With premium craftsmanship and per formance

– values that remain at the core of Land Rover’s very

identity, the new addition has been widely praised

for its class leading technology, novel features [such

as Terrain Response providing all weather, all sur face

capabil ity] and Adaptive Dynamics with Magnaride –

giving an ever compliant r ide; not to mention sustain-

abil ity-conscience engineering that boasts reduced

fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

“The Evoque is an incredibly exciting vehicle that

joins a product range which across both of our brands

is the strongest we have ever had - and it f its in per-

fectly,” commented Dr. Ralf Speth, Jaguar Land Rover

Chief Executive Officer. “It is a groundbreaking prod-

fuel economy. At the same time it’s sti l l a true Range

Rover that’s agile, nimble, designed to survive in the

urban jungle and capable of tackling the toughest cli-

mates and terrains thanks to Land Rover’s legendary

all-wheel drive expertise.”

Produced in Halewood, England, Evoque offers ex-

cellent control and an impressive ride; and its creden-

tials are quite comparable to several Audi and BMW

models of note.

• Full-time intelligent all-wheel drive with electronically-controlled Haldex center coupling

• Powertrain: all-new 240 horsepower [251 lb-ft of torque] Si4 turbocharged direct injected 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission

• Suspension configured for dynamic and agile handling across varied terrain, available with Adaptive Dynam-ics featuring MagneRide magneto-rheological damp-er technology

• Dual Screen technology [8-inch touch-screen display] permitting the driver and passenger to see two dif-ferent images on the same screen at the same time (which unfortunately is still banned in the U.S.)

• Achieves an estimated 28 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg in the city

• Weight saving was a primary objective in its develop-ment, and engineers have applied a range of ad-vanced lightweight materials to make this the lightest Range Rover model ever, with the four-door starting at

just 3,902 lbs

According to Range Rover, Evoque’s exterior fea-

tures new interpretations of classic Range Rover de-

sign cues – including the signature clamshell bonnet,

the floating roof and the solid ‘wheel-at-each-corner’

stance. And unlike any previous model, the Evoque

adopts a very dynamic profi le with its r is ing beltl ine

and muscular shoulder that runs the length of the car,

along with a distinctive taper to the floating roofl ine;

the sculpted corners reduce the car’s visual overhangs

front and rear. The two-door coupe option is new for

Range Rover, but also the basis of the vehicle’s much

praised appearance; and the excitement is justif ied

with combined appeal for driving, agil ity and looks.

“The Range Rover Evoque is a bold move into the

fast-growing compact luxury SUV sector,” said Angus

MacKenzie of Motor Trend. “Refined and capable

both on and off the road, it artfully combines tradi-

tional Range Rover values with stunning state-of-the-

moment design and impressive efficiency.”

Range Rover Evoque is available in a wide range of

colors and finishes, based on three distinct designs:

Pure, Prestige and Dynamic. u
