Thos. Baker
As the spring and summer days fade
into brisk evenings, outdoor firetables are
the best way to keep warm. Firetables merge
the functionality of a table with the warming
comfort of an outdoor fireplace.
Thos. Baker creates custom outdoor
firetables in a variety of styles. The table’s
propane-fueled gas burner provides the
warmth of fire without the smoke and ash of
a wood-burning flame. The Vendovi firetable,
named for one of the most private islands
in the San Juan archipelago, is made-to-
order from sturdy powder-coated steel in
two possible finishes, with a variety of tile
options for the table top. The table looks even
more luxurious with the addition of sparkling
fireglass or rustic lava rocks.
The Thos. Baker. Vendovi fire table is
available starting from $3,595.
My Face
Comfort is of paramount importance when designing an outdoor
living area that will be enjoyed through the warmer months. My Face, a
Portuguese furniture company that prides itself on taking design cues from
the latest trends, has created the Fable line of hanging sofas with luxury
and comfort in mind.
The Fable swing is a far cry from the traditional porch swing.
Constructed of either lacquered stainless steel or copper-plated stainless
steel, the Fable swing is made to last. The seat is made of acrylic fabric, and
attached with beautiful synthetic leather straps. The color and size is fully
customizable. The Fable swing adds an element of coziness and indulgence
to any outdoor space.
In addition to the Fable swing, a hanging sofa or matching armchair is
also available. It is available via My Face for $5,060. The hanging sofa and
armchair are available for $3,716 and $2,536, respectively.

Real estate experts are looking
forward to the rest of 2015, as the
economy’s puzzle pieces continue to
fall into place.
“Steady as she goes” might not typically apply to real estate, but
that was the hope going into 2015. As 2014 rolled to a close, sales
in many markets were on pause, and a degree of uncertainty once
again hovered over the on-again, off-again recovery. “Just another
sign that the market is getting back to normal,” assured experts
when asked about the 3-percent decrease in overall sales projected
for 2014. Even price increases at 5.8 percent were below the pace
of 2013. Yet, early in the new year, every day has brought another
positive, indicators that sales in 2015 will not only meet — but may
even surpass — year-end forecasts.
“The U.S. economy is finally off and running with the number
of jobs continuing to grow and wages starting to rise, which will
also bolster the prospects for a housing recovery,” said Mark Zandi,
chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.
Even better, the start of 2015 in many locales was quite different
than the prior year. “Right in the beginning of January, the market
took off like gangbusters. Sales, listings, rentals, everything looks
good,” says Frank Ambrosio, with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices
Florida Properties Group in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida.
“The high end is behaving better than in the past,” says Julianne
Ward with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England
Properties in Greenwich, Connecticut, ticking off the number of
showings in the first two weeks for high-end properties listed above
$1 million. Most, she says, were to young couples who want to
relocate from New York City. Compared to the start of 2014, she
says, it feels better. “People are more enthusiastic over houses and
more focused than last year.”

The
By Camilla McLaughlin
“On fire” was Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California
Properties broker Rory Shevin’s response when asked to describe
the Calabasas/Hidden Hills, California, market. Located only 22
miles from downtown Los Angeles, both communities have become
a desired location for both Hollywood and international buyers.
“The Florida ‘season’ is January through April, and this season
is expected to be strong as far as buyer interest. I personally have
received an influx of calls from both buyers and sellers in the first
week of January,” observes Pam Charron with Berkshire Hathaway
HomeServices Florida Realty in Sarasota, Florida.
In Hartford, Connecticut, John Hoye with Berkshire Hathaway
HomeServices New England Properties, says, “So far there has been
a lot of activity for January. Phone calls, listings, showings. Very
energetic compared to last year’s first quarter, which was quiet,
almost spooky. I’ve got a good feeling too from talking to other
agents. They also say the spring motivation is in the air a little early.”
In the last three years, home prices nationally have risen
by about 25 percent, and this increase in values is a substantial
boost for confidence in the market, observes Lawrence Yun, chief
economist for the National Association of Realtors (NAR).
By mid-2015, Anand Nallathambi, CoreLogic’s CEO, expects
home prices in over half the country to be at or above levels last
seen at the height of the housing bubble.
“Overall, the economy finally appears to be gaining enough mo-
mentum to help provide the support the housing market has needed
for a stronger recovery,” said Sam Khater, deputy chief economist
at CoreLogic. “Stronger economic fundamentals mean demand for

housing is expected to increase.” Single-
family housing starts are expected rise to
804,000 units in 2015, a 26-percent increase.
“This upsurge is healthy, but it’s still below
the 1.45 million average seen over the last
50-plus years. The 30-year fixed mortgage
rate is only expected to rise to 4.3 percent,
up from 4.2 percent in 2014,” says Khater.
Jonathan Smoke, chief economist
for Realtor.com, expects both GDP and
jobs in 2015 to outperform 2014, which
saw the best GDP since 2005 and the
best job creation since 1999. Smoke pins
his outlook on younger buyers who, he
said, “empowered by improvement in
employment, will return to the market
and fuel the continued housing recovery.
If access to credit improves, we could see
a substantially larger number of younger
buyers.” Smoke calls for an 8-plus percent
increase in sales and a 4.5- to 5-percent
gain in prices in 2015. Estimates from other
housing economists for price gains range
from Zillow’s 2.4 percent, to 4 percent from
NAR’s Yun, to 4.9 percent from Fannie Mae.
Yun also expects overall sales to outpace
2014, rising to 5.30 million in 2015.
Since 2011, the high end — homes in the
top 10 percent of a local market — has led
the recovery, something no one envisioned
at the beginning of this decade. Echoing
a number of the experts, Earl Lee, senior
vice president of special projects for HSF
Affiliates, says in 2010 he never would have
foreseen such a strong recovery for luxury.
But in retrospect, he says, the strength of the
stock market certainly provided those indi-
viduals with cash, but “there are few invest-
ment options. Other than the stock market,
the other alternative is hard assets, and real
estate tends to be one of those assets.”
“The luxury residential segment has
“Right in the beginning
of January, the
market took off like
gangbusters. Sales,
listings, rentals,
everything looks good,”
says Frank Ambrosio.
been driving the real estate recovery for
several years, thanks to increasing num-
bers of wealthy at all wealth levels from
high-net-worth individuals to billionaires,”
explains Laurie Moore Moore, founder and
CEO of the Institute for Luxury Home Mar-
keting. “In addition, attitudes about residen-
tial real estate as a portfolio play as well as
a lifestyle purchase, have helped to bolster
luxury home demand. Today, the number
of wealthy individuals in the world is at an
all-time high, and real estate represents a
substantial portion of their investments.”
To understand how much the upper end
of the market has changed, one only has
to look at California. Last year, Shevin and
his brother, Marc, sold the highest-priced
property in the San Fernando Valley. The
price was just shy of $20 million. And this
was the second record set by this property,
which changed hands a few years earlier at
$13 million. Such a booming upscale market
has been relatively recent, says Shevin. “In
the past we might sell one upscale home
a year; now it’s becoming commonplace.”
When the market hit bottom, Shevin
says, “Our neighborhoods were loaded
with inventory. Almost every sale was a
distressed sale. Fast forward a few years
and there are no distressed sales, prices are
up substantially. Back at the bottom of the
market, prices in one neighborhood for ex-
ample, were at $1.4 million. Now the lowest-
priced home is $2.5 million. And he says in
Calabasas and Hidden Hills there are now

sold this Hidden Hills estate in 2014 for $19.7 million, setting a record for
the highest sale ever in the San Fernando Valley.

only about 80 homes on the market, scat-
tered among a number of neighborhoods.
In March 2014, Ambrosio says the inven-
tory of homes on the market in his area hov-
ered at a four- to five-month supply, com-
pared to a two-year supply in 2006. Over
the last year, the average sale price went up
16 percent. Looking ahead, he anticipates a
7- to 8-percent increase in prices in 2015.
The one comment from agents in
almost every market is the lack of homes
to sell. Certainly, bare bones inventories
contributed to 2014’s shortfall in sales over
the prior year. Atlanta has been a hot market
for a couple of years, but the fundamentals
there — as well as strong in-migration —
make the prospects for 2015 particularly
bright. “Atlanta is trending behind other
major markets that are on fire, including
New York, Miami and Los Angeles,” says
Debra Johnston with Berkshire Hathaway
HomeServices Georgia Properties. Atlanta
this year is a mainstay on top 10 lists of best
markets. Additionally, the film industry has
discovered its charms. Newcomers to the
city also might hail from New York City
or Los Angeles, where prices have hit the
stratosphere. “I have always felt that real
estate follows right behind the success of
the stock market. If the market is doing
well, real estate follows right behind it,”
says Johnston. “Our market is improving
faster than what we have in current and
new construction inventory.”
Maria Rampinelli, a broker with
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New
Jersey Properties’ Rampinelli Division in
West Caldwell, says multiple offers on
listings are not uncommon in her area, and
she expects prices to rise in 2015. “The lack
of inventory in our area, coupled with high
demand, is creating multiple offer situations
on many listings,” Rampinelli says. “As this
demand continues into the new year, prices
will slowly rise.”
Homebuilding was on an upward trajec-
tory in 2014, and projections call for even
more in 2015, with estimates for increases in
new home sales falling into the 30-percent
range. “New construction is back and in full
swing. Buyers are willing to go further from
the coastal waters to have new construc-
tion,” says Charron. In Hartford, Hoye says,
newer construction in the high end is off to
a great start, selling quickly.
Changing inventories might send con-
fusing signals to both buyers and sellers this
spring. “Sellers are feeling that due to lack
of inventory it is a seller’s market, but the
buyers say otherwise. Buyers today, after
the unprecedented fall in prices, are cau-
tious and savvy. They do their homework,
are likely to make two or more visits to the
area before purchasing, and are still looking
for value. Our distressed market over the last
few years has reduced from over 40 percent
to less than 15 percent,” says Charron.
“Today’s buyers are more informed than
the preceding generations of buyers, having
access to myriad sources. First-time buyers
are very savvy, discerning consumers,” says
Rampinelli.
For buyers, Johnston advises, “List early
in the selling season. Buyer activity is un-
derway already. Sellers think they should
wait until March, when the landscape is in
bloom. Actually, the highest hit rate for real
estate websites is in January. Buyers start
their search and look for possible options
before they start previewing homes.”
The recovery was late getting to resort
areas, but many saw dramatic improvement
in 2014. “One rule that hasn’t changed is
location, location, location. The properties
in the most desirable location tend to be
those wealthy are gravitating toward. I see
a bigger movement as the economy gets
better back to the resorts — the sand, sea,
snow triangle. Wealth tends to be in those
areas,” says Lee.
Pre-retirement buying continues to
be strong in Florida markets, as is interest
from Canadians. “We are expecting more
Baby Boomers to migrate this way. And
now Gen-X will become an influence in the
Florida market, as they are turning 50,”
observes Charron.
Park City, Utah, is one market real estate
observers will be keeping an eye on this year.
“A perfect storm” for real estate and Park
City is the way Mark Sletten, with Berkshire
Hathaway HomeServices Utah Properties,
describes the range of potential plans for
the area, including the purchase of Park City
Resorts by Vail Resorts for $183.5 million,
making Park City home to the largest ski
resort in North America. Expect 2015 and
beyond to be huge as thousands of Vail Epic
Pass holders discover what Utah brags is
the best snow on earth.
In recent years, foreign buyers have made
significant investment in U.S. properties.
Whether the incentive is being able to say
you own property in the U.S., the security
of investment here or buying for personal
reasons, real estate in the U.S. continues to
hold international appeal. While not every
market has buyers from China or Russia, a
number do have their share. For example,
a number of buyers in Ambrosio’s area are
Canadian. In Shevin’s area outside of Los
Angeles, Persians account for a number of
sales. “They continue to come on a regular
basis,” Shevin says.
Also, Lee says, the affluent are intelligent
buyers. “Wealthy are very astute and they
know we live in a world-driven economy,”
and they understand global demand for
natural resources. “Everything that is in
a house are all national resources, and
all those resources are going to be more
expensive in years to come.”
For 2015, Lee summed it up the best:
“As the U.S. economy gets stronger, the
wealthy are going to be a lot better off,
and they are going to look for alternative
investments, and they are going to continue
to buy real estate.”
Families are happily trading digs in the city for properties like this

Travel along the Silk Road to areas once
only known by nomads, steeped in the
legends of past civilizations.
Experience the
Traditions of
The Silk Road
By Lauren Varga King

Trace history back 5,000 years and
what do you find? Caravans of nomads
traveling with camels and goods for trade;
merchants like Marco Polo and conquerors
like Alexander the Great; and bazaars alive
with color and people exchanging fine silks,
spices and jewels. Hear legends of how silk
was discovered, and how Genghis Khan
destroyed settlements in his warpath —
except for the ancient city of Bukhara, which
he proclaimed to be “too beautiful.” “This
is the real Silk Road,” says Zulya Rajabova,
founder and president of Silk Road Treasure
Tours, an award-winning company offering
exclusive tours throughout Central Asia.
Here we travel through regions of the
4,000-mile Silk Road, which spans from
Russia to China, with trusted sources Silk
Road Treasure Tours; Abercrombie & Kent,
a luxury travel company that offers singular
service with insider-access opportunities;
and Golden Eagle Luxury Trains, the world’s
leading operator of exclusive, long-distance
rail tours. The remote, sometimes treacher-
ous, terrain once only known by nomads
and tradesmen is now the journey of a life-
time with special visits, accommodations
and experiences.

UZBEKISTAN
Khiva | Samarkand | Bukhara
Welcome to Uzbekistan: Home of the
last great nomad power Tamerlane,
four UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and
wondrous ancient cities. Visitors to this
region may enjoy accommodations with
Abercrombie & Kent aboard the private
Orient Silk Road Express train, traveling by
way of private jet, or taking the road less
traveled to experience exotic villages and
nomadic life.
Samarkand
Once the fabled capital of the Mongol
empire of Tamerlane and his successors,
architectural monuments from the 14th
to 17th centuries remain in Samarkand,
including Tamerlane’s tomb at the Guri-Emir
Mausoleum.
If you’re traveling with Golden Eagle
Luxury Trains, look for an invitation to
share lunch at the home of a local family.
If you accept, the matriarch will prepare a
traditional dish, perhaps solyanka, a hearty
soup made of assorted smoked meat,
vegetables and olives, followed by lamb
chop kebabs and Samarkand-style pilaf or
plov, a traditional rice dish.
Abercrombie & Kent arranges a lecture
by a local archaeologist, as well as plans to
join a local merchant for a tandir roasted
dinner.
And, let’s not forget breakfast. Samar-
kand is known for its bread. Abercrombie &
Kent arranges for guests to rise and assist
local bakers in preparing the day’s bread.
Traveling to Bukhara
On the way to Bukhara, opt to travel
in nomadic style with Zulya Rajabova of
Silk Road Treasure Tours. “This is the way
Marco Polo and Alexander the Great would
travel,” says Rajabova. “Along the way, we
talk about the journey these explorers made
in 4th century B.C.”
Rajabova’s guests first stop at Rabati
Malik Caravanserai. Built in 1080, the struc-
ture was constructed of adobe brick and
terra cotta, and served as a roadside rest-
ing place for travelers and their camels. Its
cylindrical columns framing the entryway
serve as a symbol of Iranian architecture.
Next up, is the city of Gijduvon. “Here
you can immerse yourself in traditional
bazaars, traditional colors,” says Rajabova.
“This is the real Silk Road.”
Guests who travel with Rajabova visit
the ceramic center. She pre-arranges for
travelers to receive a custom-crafted ceramic
art piece displaying their names. Also on the
agenda, visiting a traditional bazaar. And, by
request, Rajabova may arrange a stay over
in an authentic adobe home.
Bukhara
“When luxury travelers come to
UNESCO World Heritage sites like Bukhara,
they want to feel as if they’re a part of
history, they want to feel the city’s flavor,”
says Rajabova. “For this reason, they choose
to stay in luxury boutique hotels where
everything is authentic.”
Boutique Hotel Minzifa and Sasha & Son
come recommended and offer close prox-
imity to Bukhara’s historical sites.
Though the city is more than 2,000
years old, Rajabova notes that it’s the only
place along the Silk Road where every
period of development can be seen. She
suggests travelers take in the different pe-
riods and recommends The Ark (built in the
1st century a fortress for emirs of Bukhara);
Ismail Samani’s mausoleum (erected in the
10th century, it’s the first structure in Central
Asian architecture to be built of fired-brick);
and the Palace of the Moon and Stars (con-
structed in the 20th century by Bukhara’s
last emir before Russia came to rule).
Between visits to The Ark and Palace of
the Moon and Stars, consider a trip to Labi
Khaus — translated to Around the Pond.
There, in the shade of a mulberry tree, you’ll
hear stories about the discovery of silk while
sipping traditional teas. Abercrombie & Kent
offers travelers an opportunity to meet an
Uzbek craftsman’s family that makes paper
from mulberry.
Bukhara is not only a UNESCO World
Heritage Site, but offers nearly 1,000 monu-
ments to discover. Be sure to share your
travel preferences and personal interests
with your tour company to ensure they help
shape the best trip and experience for you.
Khiva
It’s not every day that you’re invited
within a 5,000-year-old city. Yet, behind
10-meter-high brick walls rests Itchan Kala,
the inner-city of Khiva, where more than 50
ancient monuments and 250 homes stand
to be admired. “Here, you’re not following
history, you’re in it,” says Rajabova.
As the story goes, Khiva served as the
last resting place for caravans before their
journey on to Iran. After touring architectur-
photoscourtesysilkroadtreasuretours

ally astounding mosques and madrasahs,
travelers will find rest and respite at night-
fall, when the stars and moon illuminate the
tops of the town’s minarets. “With only the
light of the moon and stars, you’ll feel like
you’re in a magical town,” says Rajabova.
TURKMENISTAN
Ashgabat
“We call it the city of love,” says
Rajabova, referring to Ashgabat, the capital
city of Turkmenistan. Others refer to it as
the Las Vegas of the Silk Road, and still
some say it’s the City of White Marble.
No matter the name, there are a few
key points to be made. First, in comparison
to 2,000- and 5,000-year-old cities of
Uzbekistan, Ashgabat is fairly young. It was
erected on the ruins of the city of Konjikala,
and recently named in the Guinness Book of
World Records for having the most white-
marble-clad buildings in the world. Be sure
to check out Kipchak Mosque.
KAZAKHSTAN
Almaty
The largest city in Kazakhstan, Almaty
derives its name from “Alma,” meaning
apple, and is said to be the first place apples
were grown. Here, you’re surrounded by the
Tien Shan Mountains, tree-lined boulevards
and abundant apple orchards. Look into a
visit to Chimbulak Resort for a cable car ride
for breathtaking views of Almaty.
TAJIKISTAN
Fann Mountains
According to Rajabova, travelers —
especially those with a passion for hiking
and photography — are blown away by
the sights of the Fann Mountains. She has
escorted photographers from National
Geographic and Condé Nast to this region,
and welcomes the opportunity to offer
others an experience as well. Here, guests
may stay at the homes of local villagers.
Hostesses welcome guests with champagne
and Silk Road hospitality.
KYRGYZSTAN
Lake Issyk-Kul
When Rajabova’s guests request a bit
of relaxation after traveling the famous Silk
Road, she sends them to the 10th largest
lake in the world (the second largest saline
lake) — Lake Issyk-Kul. Though surrounded
by snow-capped Tian Shan Mountain peaks,
Lake Issyk-Kul never freezes.

Khiva

The perks of private jet travel are constantly evolving.
Unexpectedly, you need to be in London
tomorrow for an urgent business meeting.
You make a quick call to reserve a private
flight through your fractional ownership
program. After a notice period from
reservation to takeoff of just several hours,
your driver has pulled up beside your
preferred aircraft, ready for takeoff as soon
as you board. The spacious cabin’s touches
of wood and leather, combined with plush
reclining seating, are relaxing enough, but
you quickly access an app on your phone
to modify the lighting’s color and brightness
more to your liking. Your flight will be
hours faster than a commercial one, but
you’ll still have plenty of time to stream the
television program you’ve been catching up
on while you enjoy a customized gourmet
meal. Perhaps you also need to squeeze
in a quick touch base meeting with your
colleague; you’re able to do so in complete,
uninterrupted privacy.
Today, traveling by private jet means
much more than simply a quicker trip, more
cabin space, and not having to worry about
overhead luggage capacity. Companies
such as NetJets, Flight Options, and Flexjet
offer in-flight amenities such as concert-
quality sound systems and lush interiors by
designers including Versace. “When you’re
spending [a] premium to fly privately, you
want the very best. Our clientele doesn’t
necessarily want the very best cost-wise;
and Beyond
Above
By Sarah Binder
if they want cheap travel, they will fly
commercial,” says Patrick Gallagher, senior
vice president and head of sales at NetJets,
a Berkshire Hathaway company.
“I think the most interesting thing
that has occurred over the past couple of
years is the advent of Wi-Fi,” he says. “As
little as a year ago, Wi-Fi was a rather new
technology on an airplane and now it is
absolutely critical.” NetJets’ new proprietary
entertainment system allows travelers to
stream their own up-to-date entertainment
content and make and receive in-flight calls
from their personal devices. Gallagher is
optimistic about the landscape of private
jet design. “What is coming next? Who
knows!” he says. “It is really amazing what
the manufacturers are dreaming up.”
On the ground, the perks of private
jet travel are more practical, although no
less desirable, than the bells and whistles
of in-flight amenities. At the busiest hubs,
travelers park (usually for free) in private lots
and are whisked away in dedicated shuttles
to their awaiting private aircraft, their
belongings (including sports gear and liquid
toiletries) never leaving their side. Gone
are never-ending security lines, awkward
pat-downs, and stressful dashes through
crowded terminals to catch connecting
flights. Travelers often will arrive at smaller,
more conveniently located airports, such
as London City Airport, just six miles from
center city.
The industry also has a far greater
number of modernized aircraft to offer its
clientele than commercial airlines. This year,
NetJets will launch flights on the Challenger
605 from Bombardier Inc., which boasts the
largest-in-class HD monitors and Bluetooth
integration. The type of aircraft (e.g., light
cabin, large cabin, super midsize cabin)
a traveler can reserve is based on his or
her ownership program — options include
leases, fractional ownership, or pre-paid jet
cards. For the busy financial executive with
ever-changing clients and needs, 25-hour
pre-paid jet cards offer freedom from the
larger commitments of leases and fractional
ownership. Fractional ownership is ideal for
anyone who flies 50 or more hours per year
and wants the advantages of owning an
asset, says Gallagher.
Regardless of the type of program
purchased, the benefits don’t end once a
traveler leaves the tarmac. A number of the
larger companies offer owners access to
upscale special events and concierge-style
services. As a NetJets owner, for example,
you may rub shoulders with fellow owners
at the annual pre-Super Bowl barbeque.
With sportscaster Chris Berman as the
host, who knows, you may even meet your
favorite player by the cooler. Private flying is
no longer just the quickest route from point
A to point B; it’s a full-blown lifestyle.

Gentlemen no longer need to feel constrained in their expression
of colors, as designers continue to go bold for upcoming seasons.
There was a time when a blue blazer, gray
slacks and a closet full of white and powder
blue shirts could get a gentleman through
an entire week at the ofce. For the last
century, a man’s only legitimate means of
expression — and a narrow one at that — was
his necktie. Fortunately, times have changed
and designers are experimenting with bold
colors. Debuting for the Spring/Summer
2015 collections are rich, sumptuous tones
in addition to classic blues and grays.
Pantone, a New Jersey-based company
founded in 1963, is the world’s preeminent
authority on color. If you’re a graphic
artist, for instance, you can be assured of
absolutely true colors by calling out Pantone
identifcation numbers for the print shop to
precisely match. The company is equally
infuential in the fashion industry, where it
works with designers and fabric suppliers
to ensure accuracy of colors. According to
the company’s Fashion Color Report, the
top 10 colors in men’s fashion for Spring
2015 include “Dusk Blue,” which Pantone
describes as ofering “a cool, calm serenity,
representative of the sky.” Designers are
pairing it with a neutral tone called “Glacier
Gray” or “Treetop,” the latter characterized
as “nature’s healthy, harmonious green.”
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director
of the Pantone Color Institute, reports,
Expressions
By Roger Grody
“The most important change in menswear
is the willingness for designers to use the
so-called ‘feminine’ colors — those shades
that appear in womenswear and then quickly
cross over into men’s.” She notes that the
top colors for menswear are increasingly
similar, sometimes identical, to those used
in women’s fashion. “In any given season,
you might see more or less of that crossover,
but it will defnitely continue in the future,”
says Eiseman.
Pantone has dubbed a lively wine color
called “Marsala” as 2015’s “Color of the Year,”
which appears in both men’s and women’s
lines and provides a rich contrast to “Classic
Blue” or neutral “Sandstone,” other top 10
selections. “Sensual and bold, delicious
Marsala is a daringly inviting tone that
nurtures, exuding confdence and stability
while feeding the body, mind and soul,” says
Eiseman of a color showing up in stores now,
but likely to be an even bigger hit in the fall.
Pantone’sreportedcolorsareborneoutin
the collections of major designers. Perry Ellis’
Spring/Summer 2015 color palette is replete
with blues, but ofers a peek of Marsala, while
the Alexander McQueen collection features
a Matisse blue and splashes of a brick red
that’s in the same neighborhood as Marsala.

bomber jacket in Marsala, and Valentino showcases the popular shade
in a versatile, traditionally cut tweed blazer.
Spain’s influence on Sicily during the 16th and 17th centuries was
Dolce & Gabbana’s theme for its Spring/Summer 2015 collection,
which includes a crisp-tailored, double-breasted Marsala suit with
distinctive gray lapels. Burberry, in a lineup inspired by British novelist
and travel writer Bruce Chatwin, showcases a topcoat, field jacket
and wide-brimmed hat in Pantone’s Color of the Year. Contrarian
designer John Varvatos continues an edgy expression through
austere tones and signature black, but even he is increasingly
incorporating bolder colors.
Mahjuba Levine is one of San Diego, California’s most influential
fashion voices and an authority on menswear. As a stylist at nearby
Orange County’s South Coast Plaza — no ordinary mall, this luxe
center is loaded with designer boutiques like Prada, Hermès and
Cartier — she is constantly introducing new colors to clients, getting
them out of their comfort zones. “One client couldn’t imagine
wearing a Marsala suit, but as soon as he put it on, he absolutely
loved it,” reports Levine.
“Gone are the days of only blue, black and khaki,” states the
stylist, who insists men are discovering color as a way to express
themselves. “It shows self-confidence and demands attention; color
is also a way for men to accessorize,” she adds. Levine reports the
emergence of lavender, long perceived as too feminine for American
men, who she notes are far behind their European counterparts
in terms of embracing adventurous colors. “Lavender is very
complementary to a lot of men’s skin tones and looks amazing
with traditional blue and gray suit colors,” she says. Accessories like
pocket squares are a good way for the reluctant gentleman to ease
into an unfamiliar color, advises Levine.
For a powerful statement in the boardroom or at the ballpark,
classic blue remains enduringly fashionable, and a tropical green that
Pantone calls “Woodbine” is a current favorite of designers. Eiseman
suggests, “In a world that has become increasingly chaotic, the
nostalgic blues enable us to retreat into a safe place of quiet calm,
while harmonious greens from nature offer a reassuring presence.”
Levine agrees those comforting blues will never go out of style,
but says designers like Gucci and Canali are constantly reimagining
classic colors for more fashion-forward customers.
What all of this means in the real world — away from the
runways in Paris and Milan — is that men are finally being liberated
to express themselves with color, and designers are reaffirming that
new freedom with each successive season.
“Gone are the days
of only blue,
black and khaki.”
