Welcome to the glossy world of a chap always in vogue
Nicholas Coleridge, managing director of the Conde Nast publishing empire, is clever, creative and a brilliant business man, mostly because he is his magazines.
Past the big security man, up in the lift with two young women in black who may or may not be called Pippa. They get out at World of Interiors. ("Second Floor. World of Interiors. Mole Suede Cushions. Chinese Antiques. Tufenkian Tibetan Carpets. Handmade wallpaper, a snip at pounds 7,500 a roll.") I continue to the fourth floor, then go along a corridor decorated from one end to the other with framed shopping bags Gucci, Chanel, Hermes, Armani, Versace, Tiffany, Cartier but, mysteriously, no Whatever She Wants, a reasonable establishment on the Holloway Road which, I have found, offers terribly good value so long as you don't mind totally unfashionable rubbish cheaply tailored from 100 per cent polyester.
Finally, I make it to Nicholas Coleridge's office. Nicholas Coleridge, 40, is managing director of Conde Nast's nine titles in the UK and, thus, very much in charge of what we read, if not in our own homes, then at least down the hairdressers. Nicholas's office is huge, overlooks the square, and has as its centrepiece, his desk a massive, glass Corbusier job with no drawers because, he explains, "no drawers means no clutter. There's no place to stuff anything away and just forget about it." He adds that the trouble with desk drawers is that, no matter how hard you try, the top one inevitably fills with old paperclips and pens without tops. Obviously, old paper clips and pens without tops are not encouraged at Vogue House.
Nicholas is very spare. Gaunt, even. You can see the bones of his skull working under his skin. Actually, he looks rather like a sucked out Kelsey Grammar from Frasier. He is wonderfully dapper, though. Handmade leather shoes. Pink shirt. Braces. Twinkling cufflinks. Starry tie made for him by his personal tailor. I have tried my best. I am at least wearing clean jeans as opposed to yesterday's jeans with a sock caught up one leg. But I can instantly see it's not good enough. I apologise. I say I'll quite understand if I'm fined on my way out. Nicholas cries: "Oh, but you look lovely. Lovely!" Complete rubbish, of course. But from then on, I am absolute putty in his hands. I even say to him at one point: "Mr Coleridge, if you would like me to island hop in the Caribbean for Conde Nast Traveller, you only have to say the word." He says: "Thank you. I will. Yes. Um."
Anyway, a charming man, with the wonderfully smooth manners of someone who's been to Eton and hasn't ended up a mad drug addict. Plus, he's said to be pretty good at what he does, too. All the titles have thrived under him. Vogue has even just passed the 200,000 mark for the first time ever. Tatler has been revived. The two newest titles Traveller and GQ Active have got off to good starts. I'm sure Nicholas is clever and creative and a brilliant businessman and all that, but mostly I reckon he is successful because he is his magazines. He lives a very House and Garden, Vogue, World of Interiors, Tatler, four page spread on Mauritius, Conde Nast sort of life, so understands the market perfectly. He recently bought an pounds 8,000 marble topped table. "I saw it and liked it but hummed and hawed for about a month. The shop said they'd keep it for me. Then I went in and they said they had two other people interested, so could I please make up my mind? They showed me the other two people's business cards. One was Ralph Lauren. The other was Jacob Rothschild. So of course I bought the table immediately." Nicholas is saying it's all right to be a bit of a snob. And that, of course, is what most Conde Nast readers want to read. Plus they're never interested in self assembly.
But he's not only big in magazines. He also writes books, both fiction and non fiction, and seems to do pretty well at this, too. His book on press barons, Paper Tigers, was a best seller, as was his first novel, Fashion Conspiracy, "which is currently number one in Korea". His latest novel, With Friends Like These, comes out in paperback today (Orion, pounds 5.99). It's a thriller set in the magazine world. It's not too bad, so long as you like your heroines to come dressed in Lacroix and Katchinsky diamonds, whatever they may be. Usefully, you can tell who's working class because they say "guv'nor" a lot. Anyway, what he is most looking forward to is the accompanying advertising campaign. "It's going to be advertised on the side of London buses." He has a list of the routes "the 137, the 345.". No, none run near Vogue House, which is only ever fed by taxis, but no matter. "I'm going on a little tour tonight, to see if I can spot any."
He can be quite touchingly vain. Recently, he wrote a piece for the Daily Telegraph in which he claimed Tony Blair could be his twin. "He eats in the same kinds of places as me and even chooses the same kind of fish and baby love bracelet cartier fake polenta dishes off the menu. The Blairs go on holiday to the same part of Tuscany we (he and his wife, Georgia) go to and their children wear Polo Ralph Lauren shirts, just like our children do." He stands by this comparison. "The other day, Georgia and I were in a restaurant, and the Blairs were at the next table, and it struck me that Georgia looked very much like Cherie, only much prettier."
I wonder, what comes first with him, the books or the magazines? The mags, definitely, he cries. The books are just a hobby, something he does on Saturday mornings. He has loved magazines, he says, ever since he was 14 or so and ill at home and his mother, loaned him her copy of Harpers and Queen. He loved everything about it. The smell. The feel. The content, that mixture of the wholly trivial and really rather serious. He is still very in love with magazines. He likes to hold the pages up sideways to the light because, as he explains rapturously, "that way you can actually see the ink sitting on the page". Which magazines would he like to bring into the Conde Nast stable if he could? Marie Claire, he says. And Country Life. But, no, he doesn't have his eye on my own personal favourite, Hello!. "I don't think it's really us. I see they did Gloria Hunniford again this week. Tell me, how many yellow jackets do you think Gloria Hunniford has?"
He asks, would I like a floor by floor tour of some of the Conde Nast titles? You bet, I cry. Vogue first? Yes! Yes! What are we waiting for. Let's go.
Vogue. Fifth Floor. Circulation: 200,113. Unfortunately, there is no planning meeting going on, which is a shame, because it has long been my ambition to go into a Vogue planning meeting, sigh significantly, and say: "I'm thinking lace. More, I'm thinking Kate Winslett and lace." And then go out for lunch.
Instead, the place is full of more Pippas in black, either on the phone or sorting though rows of pink frocks or scurrying around carrying Manolo Blahnik peep toes and crying, "aren't they gorge?". I am introduced to the editor, Alexandra Shulman. What's with this black, I ask. "I don't know. There is no rule. It just happens," she says. Actually, she's in a red cardi. She's not a Pippa anymore.
Nicholas, probably, used to be the male version of a Pippa. His father is a former chairman of Lloyds. At an early age, Nicholas was squeezed into the russet knickerbockers of Hill House, the Sloane's school in Chelsea, before being despatched to a prep school in Sussex and then Eton. I think it would be safe to say Mr Coleridge has never knowingly shoplifted or regarded being taken to tea at The Golden Egg as something of a treat.
He enjoyed Eton enormously, yes. "It had a sophisticated atmosphere, and wasn't too far from London." He contributed to the Eton College Chronicle then run by Charles Moore, now the editor of the Daily Telegraph and got his first piece published in Harpers at 15, when he sent in a handwritten piece on tips for surviving teenage parties. ("Don't invite too many old flames or they'll ignite.")
From Eton he went to Cambridge to study theology. No, he wasn't especially interested in theology, but it was easy to get in if you pretended to be. He never took his finals, though, because a back injury meant he was in hospital at the time he should have been taking them. He could have gone back the following year, but didn't bother. By this time, he was fired up and at Tatler, an associate editor at 22. Quick work.
Tatler. Third Floor. Circulation: 87,341. And a Candida. I overhear someone say, "Tea, Candida?" So not all Pippas, no. Nicholas has an especially soft spot for Tatler, because it's where he truly got started. It was in the days before it was owned by Conde Nast and quite poor. "I would ring up book publishers, particularly publishers of expensive, illustrated books like Thames and Hudson, and pretend we were doing a big supplement on, say, beautiful houses in Tuscany. They would bike round the books at their expense, then I'd go in a taxi to a second hand bookshop called D Levin on Grape Street where I'd sell them for cash. Then, I'd bring back the pounds 400 or so and hand it to Tina Brown and she would hand it to Julian Barnes, who was then the restaurant critic. And he would then go to Langhams and write a take on how Tatler readers would find Langhams somehow not up to scratch." This may be the Eton boys equivalent to shoplifting.
Yes, of course he was and is a big admirer of Tina, who turned Tatler from an idolising, social register into something much wittier. Tatler has had its slumps since. The late Eighties, for example, was a bad time because, he says, the title became contemptuous of its own readers. "You know, the interviews were all negative, knocking pieces." It's now back on course, though. You can send up your readers, he says. They don't mind a bit of that. But you can't despise them. I say the trick is to have a very posh editor, isn't it? Because she can get away with referring to the Marsden Smedleys as the "Farting Deadlies" (page 129 of the current issue) whereas an outsider can't. You know, it's rather like Jewish jokes. It's all right to tell them if you're a Jew, but not if you're not. He disagrees. "Jane Proctor (the current editor) is not an aristocrat. But she does understand new money and the aspirations of new money.'
Brides and Setting Up Home. Sixth Floor. Circulation: 63, 543. The biggest selling title in the brides market, with a great room stuffed with wedding dresses and an editor, Sandra Boler, who finds this a very tiring time of year. "All the girls at Conde Nast seem to get engaged at Christmas, and they all want to come in and show me their rings and discuss it."
Anyway, what about Nicholas when it comes to brides and setting up home? Well, he first met Georgia Metcalfe in 1985, by which time he'd moved from Tatler to the deputy editorship of Harpers and Queen. She'd come into the magazine for two days work experience before going up to Oxford to study PPE. Nicholas met her on her second day. He was looking forward to seeing her on her third day, and was terribly disappointed when she baby cartier bangle replica didn't come in, and even further disappointed when he was told she wouldn't be coming in again. "I just liked how she looked and what she was." He traced her parents address and phone number, and called them. "Sorry," they said. "Georgia's just gone off to India." Nicholas went off to India himself, where he contrived to bump into her in the street in Jaipur. Yes, she was rather shocked. He kissed her in a rickshaw. They married four years later, when she finished her degree. She wore an Alistair Blair wedding dress. They honeymooned in France and picnicked using the picnic basket Tina Brown and Harold Evans gave them as a wedding present. "An astonishing wicker thing with, inside, a dozen Meissen plates and numerous silver plate corkscrews." They now live in a whacking great house in Notting Hill and have three children aged six and under, all with very Conde Nast names Lee, Dwayne and Tracie. No, only joking. They're called Alexander, Freddie and Sophie. Yes, they all attend public schools, "although I have nothing against state schools. I'd send my children there if I didn't have the money." Did he have a lot of girlfriends before Georgia? "Several but not a lot, no. I wasn't like James Brown."
GQ. First Floor. Circulation:135,563. The GQ floor is not like the other floors. There are fag butts on the landing and crates of beer inside the entrance and a blow up doll on one of the shelves. James Brown was the editor of Loaded until Nicholas brought him here, to toughen up their only men's title. "Yes, it was a risk, but a calculated risk. James is very clever and now has a very nice wife." According to Private Eye, James spends days on the sofa in his office recovering from hangovers while being sick in his wastepaper bin. Nicholas says these stories are wholly untrue. "James told me he had to lie down on his sofa recently because he had flu." I am briefly introduced to James, who turns to Coleridge, and says, "Nick, I went into the Loaded office the other night. It fake baby cartier bangle was a complete tip. I wonder how they ever get any work done there." James might be becoming a sort of Conde Nast person himself.
Mini tour over, it's back to Nicholas's office. He's going out tonight. First, there's a launch party for a new L'Oreal product cartier baby bracelet replica then it's another party for a Tatler travel supplement. No, he does not find schmmoozing advertisers tiresome. "There are worst things than coming through the door of a shop in Bond Street and being given a drink and something to eat." However, before he goes, he has a few matters to deal with on his glass topped desk, so. I am charmingly man handled out of his office, back along that corridor no Bhs bag either, I note and into the lift. "I'm quite serious about the Caribbean offer," I manage to cry before the doors close. "I know," I think he might have sighed.

Roberto Bolle
Vogue Italia and Pomellato have teamed for a charity project "Lock your love. Don't lock your heart" to benefit the Italian Fondazione Ieo, a non profit org to benefit the European Institute of Oncology. Three couples were choosen to model the lock and silver charm engraved with inspirational words, among them Roberto Bolle and Svetlana Zakharova, frequent La Scala ballerina partners. The bracelet on sale from 10th December for 90 euro on Pomellato website or in Italy based boutiques, and available on Valentine Day at Yoox. Anna Wintour Fashion Prom, where celebrities showed up to show off straight from the runway looks for the ostentatious inauguration of the museum "Punk: Chaos to Couture" costume exhibition, which predicated the night punk chic theme.
The gala would have been a total TRACK. WALL. CYA. if HBIC Austin Scarlett was among the predictable clique of Hollywood darlings, but there was Roberto Bolle, whose twitter feed popped with intimate photos of A list celebs (like Madonna, below), sleek in weapon of choice Dolce Gabbana tux. Rarely dateless, his +1 was fellow Dolce Gabanna ambassador Giovanna Battaglia (above).
Aside from loving his assassin grade abs, we love Roberto Bolle because from the beginning, he always used his influence and fame to publicize charitable initiatives. Instead of lighting Cuban cigars with 500 euro notes from his La Scala paychecks, he off to Africa as a Unicef ambassador or hanging out with pandas for the WWF.
The six year old worldwide event, dedicated to climate change and environmental sustainability, enlists international landmarks to symbolically turn off its lights for an hour. imitation cartier chain necklace This year (which happened last night), Milan participants included Teatro alla Scala and the Pirellone tower.
Here the spot that Bolle filmed for La Scala, who turned off it (insanely gorgeous) chandelier for an hour last night (although frankly, it turned off from like 8pm 12pm every night, no?)
For those of you who don give a sht about the environment: here a video of Bolle hugging a stuffed panda bear!
That the title ("Essere Bolle e un Lavoro Duro") in Corriere della Sera Io Donna la Repubblica D Magazine January 14 edition that shares a small interview with the Italian ballerino, principal dancer at both Milan Teatro alla Scala and New York City American Ballet Theatre. The 36 year knock off cartier ring necklace old Adonis is preparing for Excelsior (also the name of one of our favorite luxury department stores in Milan where we were coincidentally having a coffee with friends when the Italian gawd himself was upstairs in a dressing room trying on a thong photo below, life is so unfair for us mere mortals) which opens at Teatro alla Scala on January 20 and frankly kind of gives us a Springtime for Hitler finale vibe, no joke. does it bother him when people objectify his hawt body?
"No, I conscious that the physical body has its own importance. A statuesque body has helped me in dance and has helped open me up to a more varied public. I sorry that some people, when they see something beautiful, whether it be a ballerina or an actor, don understand that there work behind it, a kind of personality."
And how exactly does he keep that magnificent shape (aside from healthy eating and dancing like seven hours a day?)
"Yoga, pilates, swim, training but I don refuse once in a while some chocolate."
Come to OC 18th century apartment, open the fridge, and you find bottles of Badoit and Plose, the freshest veggies from Fratelli Galantino fruttivendolo roasted beets, Sicilian lemons and tarocco oranges bars of bitter chocolate from Demel, black and green olives from Peck (they score them by hand, into quarters, so the flesh melts in your mouth) and mimolette and bitto cheeses.
So minus our savory and sweet indulgences, Roberto Bolle fridge, as revealed by Corriere della Sera Io Donna, kind of makes us feel at home.
The health conscious ballerino splits his time between homes in Manhattan and Milano but stocks his New York City apartment fridge (no Sub Zero, he got one of those 1950 era vintage metal designs) with super fresh produce. Fruit for breakfast and never coffee he hates the taste. Sometimes green tea if he needs a caffeine kick (good to know for when you making Bolle breakfast in bed). If he training, he takes a 40 minute lunch break and snacks on nuts, dried fruit, bananas, a protein bar and two hard boiled eggs that he brings from home. Heh. If he has the luxury of eating dinner at home, it usually shrimp, avocado, salad, seitan and fish or meat.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Who cares. It Jake Ryan reincarnated as Roberto Bolle, flashing his muscolatura on Fiorello. Bolle stopped by the Italian comedian show to prance around topless and wait a second, what just happened? Happy birthday, Samantha, make a wish. It already came true
Earlier in the day, Bolle was on twitter, criticising the recent Finmeccanica/Guarguaglini inquest and caught Corriere della Sera attention. The lesson? You don always have to take off your shirt and flaunt your 6 hours of training (x) 6 cartier necklace knock off days a week Adonis physique to get media attention. It sure helps, tho!Roberto Bolle Beatrice Carbone showed up last night at the Dolce store on Corso Venezia to necklace catier replica enhance the hotness factor of the opening for the photo exhibit "Uomini" by Mariano Vivanco all black and white images of seriously handsome models, "a celebration of male in the book there also special appearence by Tony Ward privates (in full page we scan the page but it be very NSFW). Some images, mostly tame and safe for work, are here.
Sadly, Bolle appeared at the party but he not part of the "Uomini" book itself; just go back to the classic Bruce Weber book if you jonesing for moah Bolle.
As goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, Roberto Bolle had visited Sudan in the past. At the beginning of this month he has visited the Central African Republic for a week (an experience, he says, that left him "deeply affected and scarred"), sharing his diary with IoDonna magazine, the weekly for Corriere della Sera. Bolle danced for Africa last night in Rome, at Auditorium Conciliazione, and tickets had been sold out forever.
From Bolle diary entry for the final day of his travel:
"Coming home to a Milan that now looks as fake as a reality TV show. The one thing I can do to make this trip complete is to go back to my work, and dance for Africa"

Many of OC favorite artists aligned in this weekend New York Times T Magazine winter issue for a special Milan spotlight, which profiled some of the city best kept destinations and most elegant inhabitants. Tasked with the portraiture was Magnum photographer Paolo Pellegrin, whose always stunning photographs make you wonder if he made a pact with Henri Cartier Bresson ghost. His portraiture work shines, but his Capa/Smith esque photojournalism (especially his b/w work from Kosovo, Darfur, and Lebanon) leave you breathless. Sandwiched between quiet portraits of Miuccia Prada, Armani, the Sozzani sisters, Bolle gets perspective from La Scala side palchi.

The Count of many crystals
Count Alexander von Beregshasy was wearing a replica of the Hope diamond, a full length, three tiered cape, a silk velvet ruffed shirt, a pair of black riding breeches, black hussar boots with spurs and two rings on each hand."I always wear my jewels," he said. So will we all, if he realises his dream. Women will don diamond tiaras, dazzling, bodice smothering necklaces, stomachers, bracelets, brooches and chandelier ear rings dripping with diamonds.
Replica diamonds, that is. The count makes and sells the world's biggest replica rocks including, most recently, the crown jewels of France, Austria and Russia, which he has been privileged to hold in his cotton gloved hands. He did not dare to touch the Hope diamond in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington because of its deadly reputation. He studied it from a distance of a few inches.
His shop, just opened, is a tiny cubicle, like a jewel box, in The Mall, the antique arcade in Islington, north London. It glitters with a 4ft wide Austrian Maria Theresa crystal chandelier with 25 candle bulbs, surplus from Buckingham Palace, dangling Rococo angels, and a life size gold angel holding a crown, suspended from a gold rose garland entwined with fairy lights.
He has made 16 life size, lifelike glass fibre mannequins, including Marie Antoinette's lady in waiting, cartier pendant necklace imitation with a galleon hairstyle, which is in his shop. He calls them his "perfect people". In his window is a mannequin of Faye Dunaway, star of Michael Winner's film, The Wicked Lady, wearing a ruby studded velvet gown by the haute couture period dressmaker Olivia Barnard Firth who makes the count's own outfits and his ruby and diamond winter jewel collection. A sign above the mannequin says: "A wicked lady always gets what she wants for Christmas."
The Count surrounds himself with wicked ladies well, playfully wicked ones at least notably at the Ritz, where they gather at his dinner parties resplendent in long gowns and the complete parures he has made for them. The last such extravaganza celebrated St Nicholas's Day, on Sunday. "I want to bring some sparkle, glamour, opulence, decadence, to this dull city of ours," he says. "I'm not from this century, I'm from the 18th century, and this is my mission in this life. It's just not true that you can have too much of a good thing. My aim is to gild the lily.
"Just as Diana, Princess of Wales wanted to be Queen of Hearts, I want to be Queen of Diamonds. I want to make dreams come true."
His great grandmother was a Hohenzollern; his grandmother designed costumes for the opera in Linz, Austria; and his mother, the Baroness von Beregshasy, guided him as a child through the splendours of the palaces and castles of central Europe.
"For as long as I can remember," he says, "I have been attracted to anything that glitters and sparkles."
The family title was a reward for being the only Austro Hungarian family, apart from Count Dracula's, to take up arms against the Turks in the 15th century. The count wears his family's gold signet ring, dating back to 1700, which is engraved with a horseman raising a sword upon which a Turk's head is impaled, while the horse tramples the decapitated foe.
A word of warning: never say "jewellery" within his earshot. "Such a cheap and common word," he says. "You would never hear the Queen referring to the Crown Jewels as jewellery. They are jewels."
Even replica jewels have their pride, it seems, and even royalty has been proud to wear replica jewellery. Marie Antoinette, for instance, sometimes wore necklaces made from the finest cut crystal and backed with gold foil. Nobody could tell the difference especially below those blazing, 100 candle chandeliers in the state rooms of the Palace of Versailles.
Count Alexander uses crystal of the same highest quality Austrian mountain crystal that is ground to a paste, laced with lead then machine cut, and hand cut Russian zirconia a diamond like rock crystal that can be distinguished from the real thing only under laser light. The count backs the stones with 24 carat antique gold he eschews modern gold because it apparently has a "vulgar glitter".
His tour de force is Marie Antoinette's necklace, made from 500 rose cut Austrian crystals and comprising two pieces a collar tied with a satin ribbon, and broad, sumptuous swags with tassels, suspended from the shoulders. He discovered an accurate design for it in a Paris flea market. His replica was worn for the first time at the Ritz. (See main picture, above.)
The count's private clients include ageing members of the nobility who arrive at his shop carrying plastic supermarket bags, from which they gingerly extract 19th century jewel boxes containing tiaras last worn at their weddings or the Queen's coronation. They have had to pay extra insurance in order to take them out of their bank vaults for a day, so that the count can measure them to make a replica.
"Jewels are meant to be worn," he says. "But what's the point of buying a tiara from Cartier if you are constantly afraid of being mugged or even killed for it?"
Always tell people that your jewels are not real, he advises it's safer that way and take care of them. Their natural enemies are perfume and hairspray, which cling like a yellow glue to the stones, attracting grime and causing them to disintegrate. Even real diamonds hate sticky cosmetic sprays. His advice: spray on the perfume, wait 10 minutes then put on the jewels and step out into the bright lights.
Prices: from pounds 50 for a pair of Austrian crystal stud earrings, to pounds 1,350 for an Austrian crystal tiara or pounds 5,000 for a Russian zirconia necklace. Each jewel is signed and is in a limited edition of 100. They come in splendid boxes.

Count Alexander von Beregshasy was wearing a replica of the Hope diamond, a full length, three tiered cape, a silk velvet ruffed shirt, a pair of black riding breeches, black hussar boots with spurs and two rings on each hand."I always wear my jewels," he said. So will we all, if he realises his dream. Women will don diamond tiaras, dazzling, bodice smothering necklaces, stomachers, bracelets, brooches and chandelier ear rings dripping with diamonds.
Replica diamonds, that is. The count makes and sells the world's biggest replica rocks including, most recently, the crown jewels of France, Austria and Russia, which he has been privileged to hold in his cotton gloved hands. He did not dare to touch the Hope diamond in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington because of its deadly reputation. He studied it from a distance of a few inches.
His shop, just opened, is a tiny cubicle, like a jewel box, in The Mall, the antique arcade in Islington, north London. It glitters with a 4ft wide Austrian Maria Theresa crystal chandelier with 25 candle bulbs, surplus from Buckingham Palace, dangling Rococo angels, and a life size gold angel holding a crown, suspended from a gold rose garland entwined with fairy lights.
He has made 16 life size, lifelike glass fibre mannequins, including Marie Antoinette's lady in waiting, cartier pendant necklace imitation with a galleon hairstyle, which is in his shop. He calls them his "perfect people". In his window is a mannequin of Faye Dunaway, star of Michael Winner's film, The Wicked Lady, wearing a ruby studded velvet gown by the haute couture period dressmaker Olivia Barnard Firth who makes the count's own outfits and his ruby and diamond winter jewel collection. A sign above the mannequin says: "A wicked lady always gets what she wants for Christmas."
The Count surrounds himself with wicked ladies well, playfully wicked ones at least notably at the Ritz, where they gather at his dinner parties resplendent in long gowns and the complete parures he has made for them. The last such extravaganza celebrated St Nicholas's Day, on Sunday. "I want to bring some sparkle, glamour, opulence, decadence, to this dull city of ours," he says. "I'm not from this century, I'm from the 18th century, and this is my mission in this life. It's just not true that you can have too much of a good thing. My aim is to gild the lily.
"Just as Diana, Princess of Wales wanted to be Queen of Hearts, I want to be Queen of Diamonds. I want to make dreams come true."
His great grandmother was a Hohenzollern; his grandmother designed costumes for the opera in Linz, Austria; and his mother, the Baroness von Beregshasy, guided him as a child through the splendours of the palaces and castles of central Europe.
"For as long as I can remember," he says, "I have been attracted to anything that glitters and sparkles."
The family title was a reward for being the only Austro Hungarian family, apart from Count Dracula's, to take up arms against the Turks in the 15th century. The count wears his family's gold signet ring, dating back to 1700, which is engraved with a horseman raising a sword upon which a Turk's head is impaled, while the horse tramples the decapitated foe.
A word of warning: never say "jewellery" within his earshot. "Such a cheap and common word," he says. "You would never hear the Queen referring to the Crown Jewels as jewellery. They are jewels."
Even replica jewels have their pride, it seems, and even royalty has been proud to wear replica jewellery. Marie Antoinette, for instance, sometimes wore necklaces made from the finest cut crystal and backed with gold foil. Nobody could tell the difference especially below those blazing, 100 candle chandeliers in the state rooms of the Palace of Versailles.
Count Alexander uses crystal of the same highest quality Austrian mountain crystal that is ground to a paste, laced with lead then machine cut, and hand cut Russian zirconia a diamond like rock crystal that can be distinguished from the real thing only under laser light. The count backs the stones with 24 carat antique gold he eschews modern gold because it apparently has a "vulgar glitter".
His tour de force is Marie Antoinette's necklace, made from 500 rose cut Austrian crystals and comprising two pieces a collar tied with a satin ribbon, and broad, sumptuous swags with tassels, suspended from the shoulders. He discovered an accurate design for it in a Paris flea market. His replica was worn for the first time at the Ritz. (See main picture, above.)
The count's private clients include ageing members of the nobility who arrive at his shop carrying plastic supermarket bags, from which they gingerly extract 19th century jewel boxes containing tiaras last worn at their weddings or the Queen's coronation.

'Muslim extremist made YouTube video warning of attack on William and Kate's wedding'
Afsor Ali, pictured, has been accused in court of keeping terror tutorials on his MP3 player
A Muslim extremist had a library of terror manuals including personal tutorials on Jihad with radical preacher Omar Bakri, the Old Bailey has heard.
Afsor Ali kept a stash of Al Qaeda documents, bomb making plans, and extremist lectures on his computer, selecting some love bracelet cartier copy to carry with him on his MP3 player, the court was told.
The 27 year old also warned of a terrorist attack on the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and called for a Burn American Flag Day in inflammatory YouTube videos, is is said.
Ali was allegedly the spokesman of banned extremist group Muslims Against Crusades when mens cartier bangle he praised the 9/11 suicide bomb replica cartier bracelet love price attacks on America.
Ali was personally counselled by Bakri, the militant cleric dubbed the Tottenham Ayatollah, and recorded two of their conversations about Jihadi fighting and martyrdom.
He is on trial accused of having the Al Qaeda magazine Inspire and terrorist manual '39 Ways to Serve and Participate in Jihad' on his computers and MP3 player.
Prosecutor Oliver Glasgow said Ali was a leader of Muslims Against Crusades and appeared in four YouTube videos under the alias Abu Assadullah promoting extremism.
In one clip, from April 2011, Ali 'warns the viewer not to attend the Royal Wedding since there's the risk of an attack by Muslim groups', he said.
'He explains to the viewer that the British public have no one to blame except themselves because of the inability to condemn their government.'
Another clip calls for Sharia Law in the UK, while in a third Ali 'describes 9/11 as a historic event and suggests it has exposed the American ideology to be a fallacy'.
'He describes the 9/11 atrocity as a blessing and an eye opener for the American people', said the prosecutor, of the fourth clip featuring Ali.
His activities were investigated after he was arrested outside the American embassy in London on December 2, 2011, while leading a violent protest against drone strikes in Pakistan.
Police suspect the group of 30 masked men protesting under the name United Ummah and led by Ali were also members of Muslims Against Crusades.
Afsor Ali, pictured,kept a stash of Al Qaeda documents, bomb making plans, and extremist lectures on his computer, selecting some to carry with him on his MP3 player, the court was told
'There was also recordings of phone calls this defendant had with Omar Bakri, a radical ideologue and leader of a militant organisation while he was here in the UK', said Mr Glasgow.
'The defendant's voice has been identified by experts, and the defendant accepts it's him on the phone speaking to Omar Bakri.
'This defendant and a colleague were seeking advice on the duty of Muslim males to participate in Jihad, and they discussed the requirement of Muslims to travel abroad to fight for Jihad.'
Ali had a library of terror manuals including personal tutorials on Jihad with radical preacher Omar Bakri (pictured), the court heard
'When an officer tried to detain another person from within the crowd, the defendant lunged forward and pushed the officers backwards.'
Mr Glasgow said the YouTube videos and computer material was only found after his arrest at the protest.
The Inspire magazine had been transferred from the computer to the MP3 player, then back again, Mr Glasgow said, and was in a folder stored under the name Assadullah.
He told the court: 'This defendant is likely to claim he has no idea how these files came to be saved on to his electronic devices.
'He is likely to claim others had access to the hard disk and the MP3 player.
'He claims anyone could have downloaded these files or it was downloaded accidentally without his knowledge.
'If he is correct, and he had no idea what was saved on his computer, MP3 player, and external hard disk, you will want to consider with care the background to the offences.
'If as we suggest is the case, the defendant was the spokesperson for a radical group of extremists, if the defendant was actively seeking advice from an extremist religious cleric on the duty of Muslims to participate in violent Jihad, if the defendant had a keen interest in religious Jihad and the call for violence against the West, you might want to ask yourself how the very information he was interest in was stored on his computer devices without his knowledge.'
Ali of Bethnal Green, east London, denies four counts of possessing documents containing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

'He describes the 9/11 atrocity as a blessing and an eye opener for the American people', said the prosecutor, of the fourth clip featuring Ali.
His activities were investigated after he was arrested outside the American embassy in London on December 2, 2011, while leading a violent protest against drone strikes in Pakistan.
Police suspect the group of 30 masked men protesting under the name United Ummah and led by Ali were also members of Muslims Against Crusades.
Afsor Ali, pictured,kept a stash of Al Qaeda documents, bomb making plans, and extremist lectures on his computer, selecting some to carry with him on his MP3 player, the court was told
'There was also recordings of phone calls this defendant had with Omar Bakri, a radical ideologue and leader of a militant organisation while he was here in the UK', said Mr Glasgow.
'The defendant's voice has been identified by experts, and the defendant accepts it's him on the phone speaking to Omar Bakri.
'This defendant and a colleague were seeking advice on the duty of Muslim males to participate in Jihad, and they discussed the requirement of Muslims to travel abroad to fight for Jihad.'
Ali had a library of terror manuals including personal tutorials on Jihad with radical preacher Omar Bakri (pictured), the court heard
'When an officer tried to detain another person from within the crowd, the defendant lunged forward and pushed the officers backwards.'
Mr Glasgow said the YouTube videos and computer material was only found after his arrest at the protest.
The Inspire magazine had been transferred from the computer to the MP3 player, then back again, Mr Glasgow said, and was in a folder stored under the name Assadullah.
He told the court: 'This defendant is likely to claim he has no idea how these files came to be saved on to his electronic devices.
'He is likely to claim others had access to the hard disk and the MP3 player.
'He claims anyone could have downloaded these files or it was downloaded accidentally without his knowledge.
'If he is correct, and he had no idea what was saved on his computer, MP3 player, and external hard disk, you will want to consider with care the background to the offences.
'If as we suggest is the case, the defendant was the spokesperson for a radical group of extremists, if the defendant was actively seeking advice from an extremist religious cleric on the duty of Muslims to participate in violent Jihad, if the defendant had a keen interest in religious Jihad and the call for violence against the West, you might want to ask yourself how the very information he was interest in was stored on his computer devices without his knowledge.'
Ali of Bethnal Green, east London, denies four counts of possessing documents containing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
