The celebrity concierge ‘managing millionaires’ expectations’

Most party planners deal in balloons, floral centrepieces and personalised cakes. 

But for Serena Cook, luxury Ibiza concierge and fixer to the stars, client requests more often involve VIP villas, private jets and hard-to-book tables at the island’s most exclusive hotspots. 

The British-born organiser extraordinaire, who describes herself as a ‘manager of multimillionaire expectations’, has a little black book that reads like a who’s who of the world’s rich and famous and boasts everyone from Johnny Depp (who needed help finding a masseuse) to Paris Hilton (who wanted to be ‘seen’ on holiday).

She is the woman behind some of Ibiza’s biggest celeb events in recent years, including Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender’s 2017 wedding and designer Riccardo Tisci’s lavish 40th birthday bash, which saw Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and Naomi Campbell partying the night away on a dancefloor covered with rose petals.

Serena has also helped organise a last-minute holiday home for Sir Mick Jagger and regularly secures tables at the likes of Pacha and Amnesia for clients looking to sample the world-renowned nightlife. 

Go-to girl: For Serena Cook, luxury Ibiza concierge and fixer to the stars, client requests often involve VIP villas, private jets and hard-to-book tables at the island’s most exclusive hotspots

Big break: Serena explained how she came up with the idea for an exclusive service while working as a private chef to close friend Jade Jagger (left with friend Kate Moss), who lives on the island. Serena now caters for clients including Paris Hilton (right on Ibiza in 2016)

Speaking to digital weekly publication AirMail, Serena explained how she came up with the idea for an exclusive service when she moved to the island in 2001 to work as a private chef for close friend and Ibiza poster girl Jade Jagger. 

The role extended far beyond serving up meals to the likes of Kate Moss, P. Diddy and Elle Macpherson.

‘I’d arrange boats, recommend restaurants and beach bars, locate English-speaking nannies and Girl Fridays, and help with Jade’s annual summer party, which has now become the stuff of legend,’ Serena said. 

She recognised there was a gap in the market for someone to look after the celebrities and uber-rich who were visiting the island with increasing frequency. 

‘I was 27. I could speak Spanish. Having Jade Jagger on my CV certainly helped.’ 

It was photographers’ agent Camilla Lowther, mother of British model Adwoa Aboah who told her: ‘You could make this into a business’. 

Serena’s career started aged just 20 when she moved to Bogota, Colombia, to open a restaurant (she is now fluent in Spanish). She spent three years at the helm of the eatery, which served Mediterranean food, before closing up shop and returning to the UK when the political situation started to deteriorate. 

Serena was behind designer Riccardo Tisci’s lavish 40th birthday bash, which saw Justin Bieber and Naomi Campbell dancing to Kanye West on a dancefloor covered with rose petals. Pictured, the Tisci with Kendall Jenner, Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian at the party

In London she worked for restaurateur-turned-TV judge Oliver Peyton before launching an organic cafe with Zac Goldsmith and his then-wife, Sheherazade.  

In 2001 jewellery designer Jade – the eldest of Sir Mick’s brood and linchpin of the local social scene – invited Serena on the trip to the White Isle that changed her life. 

Since then Serena has risen through the ranks to become the go-to girl for any visiting A-lister or resident celebrity.

Her company, Deliciously Sorted, which describes itself as ‘the Balearics most trusted concierge, villas and events company’, has a highly trained team of staff and extensive list of suppliers, all ready to jump into action at a moment’s notice. 

A quick look at the candy-coloured website reveals the business handles everything from private planes – for those times when you want ‘sushi for 18 at midnight’ or ‘a 4am jet to Disney World’ – to ‘well-dressed security’ who ‘melt in with party guests’ and ‘keep an eye out for gate crashers. 

Chefs, nannies, butlers, yoga teachers, masseuses and English-speaking chauffeurs are also all on the books. 

Serena has also helped organise a last-minute holiday home for Sir Mick Jagger and regularly secures clients tables at the likes of Pacha (seen in stock image) and Amnesia

There are typically three concierge service packages to choose from: Silver ($554 a week), Platinum ($1,663 a week) and Bespoke ($3,338 a week), which buys you a 24/7 personal service with a dedicated manager. 

Speaking on Tisci’s party, which took place in 2014 at an Andalusian horse stud farm, Serena revealed the extraordinary lengths she went to in order to achieve the designer’s vision for his party, down to the staff they employed.

‘It was clear that Givenchy [Tisci’s then employer] wanted these front-of-house workers to be a vital decorative element and it had been very strict about the way they looked: male only, clean-shaven, slim, handsome.’ 

The process involved casting men to work at the party, both in Ibiza and further afield. 

However there are some things Serena won’t arrange, even for the biggest celebrity client. ‘We don’t do drugs, hookers or animals,’ she explained. ‘I’ve turned down requests for dancing bears and caged tigers.’ 

But for anything else, Serena is the woman to know.

Diving in the Great Barrier Reef

The new exhibition IMMERSION was inaugurated this past Saturday, July 18, 2020, at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco. It features the Australian Great Barrier Reef, one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. While they cover only 0.2%
of the world’s oceans, coral reefs are home to 30% marine biodiversity. These oases of life, beautiful but fragile and essential to humankind, are nevertheless threatened on a massive scale and have become one of the endangered species. These coral reefs are non-motile animals, which gradually build their own colonies with the help of calcium carbonate secreted from the corals. This highly entertaining and educational presentation aims to increase awareness of the need to better protect our marine ecosystem.

The paramount multimedia installation set up in the Whale Room by an international team of designers, in collaboration with the Oceanographic Museum and its partners and divers and biologists, is intended to be entertaining and engaging.

IMMERSION, Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, July 2020 @M_Dagnino

IMMERSION invites visitors to virtually dive below the surface to meet the iconic species that inhabit our planet’s vast coral ecosystem. To give life to this underwater odyssey, the most advanced technologies are used to further the Museum’s mission of mediation: to create a link between humankind and an ecosystem that is generally inaccessible. The public travels through a living environment in perpetual movement, where all encounters are possible:
from the humpback whale to
the carpet shark, from barracudas to fluorescent corals.

Pioneer Prince Albert I of Monaco

The Oceanographic Institute was founded in 1906 by Prince Albert I of Monaco. As a public interest foundation, it brings together scientific, political, and economic actors with the public to promote understanding and protect the Ocean. Driven by its Honorary President, Prince Albert II of Monaco, the Oceanographic Institute contributes to Monaco’s commitment to the Ocean, alongside the Government, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the Scientific Centre of Monaco, the Monaco Exploration Society and the Yacht Club of Monaco.

Having launched numerous projects on the national and international scene (symposia, exhibitions, educational programs, etc.), the organization pursues its mission of environmental mediation. It is supported by two institutions: the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco and the Maison des Océans in Paris.

The Oceanographic Museum on the Rock of Monaco

The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco is in an exceptional location, built by the sea on the side of the legendary Rock of Monaco. This is the Foundation’s “flagship,” and raises awareness among more than 650,000 visitors each year. Beyond its remarkable architecture, it is known for its state of the art aquarium, its events, exhibitions, and its art-and-science alliance. A place of culture and exchange, where experiences centered on the protection of the Ocean come together, the Oceanographic Museum organizes and hosts symposia on a myriad of subjects for an international discerning audience.

Trend Report: Falling for Feminine Floral Jewelry@mimo.su

Pastel flower power on the Fall 2018 runways. Photo credit – AccessoriesMagazine The flower is one of the oldest motifs in jewelry, and lately it has been enjoying fresh, new life. Thanks to a field of floral prints in the Fall 2018 ready-to-wear and couture collections, feminine floral jewelry is trending for fall…and beyond. Harper’s Bazaar reports that the floral fashion trend transcends typical autumnal colors to embrace lighter, more feminine shades. Let’s take a look at how some top jewelry Amulette de Cartier Earrings Outlet designers are putting their petal to the metal this shopping season. Chaumet The new La Nature de Chaumet collection from this esteemed Parisian jewelry house showcases wheat, oak, the laurel plant and the lily flower. Gemstone foliage and blossoms weave their way through necklaces, bracelets, time pieces and tiaras. La Nature de Chaumet Lily Earrings the lily is the flower of innocence and emblem of the kings of France. It celebrates the different facets of feminine beauty, from translucent purity to fiery passion. Shown: Lily Earrings from La Nature de Chaumet 2018 High Jewellery Collection. Gumuchian Owned and Knockoff Cartier Trinity Earrings operated by Anita Gumuchian and daughters Myriam and Patricia, Gumuchian Jewelry abides by the mantra “Designed by women for women.” Their new Secret Garden Collection explores “a place where magical and transformative things take place…carbon becomes a diamond, metal becomes art and you shine as your most radiant self.” Gumuchian Secret Garden Necklace Shown: Reminiscent of  garden windows and trellises, Gumuchian’s convertible Secret Garden necklace is created in 18k with diamonds Stéfère Stefere Pink Hibiscus Ring in 18K pink gold, white diamonds, pink tourmaline, pink sapphires Paris-based enjoys a celebrity fan base that includes Victoria Beckham, Penelope Cruz and Sir Elton John. The 11-year-old company’s stunning gemstone pieces range from familiar motifs, such as flowers and animals, to edgy designs featuring skulls and stars. Stéfère’s single-bloom cocktail rings are breathtaking reminders of the bounty of nature. Their multi-finger rings entwine through all four fingers, a modern take on a classic floral design. A fall fashion editorial from Harper’s Bazaar Wild Card: Joseph Free for Rodarte Los Angeles florist Joseph Free took the floral trend literally in his “living jewelry” collection for the Fall 2018 Rodarte runway show. Free wove dozens of fresh micro-Cheap Cartier Diamond Earrings orchids into jewelry designed by Rodarte, which the runway models wore in their hair, on their ears, and on their arms. According to Free’s pièce de résistance was a golden headpiece with real orchids dotted throughout. “It needs to be like jewelry so it doesn’t come off as another flower crown or another flower accessory, so my inspiration was to get more gold things and have pieces dangle so there’s a movement to it,” Free told Vogue. Personalized Lockets and Charms | The New Heirlooms “The Four” Locket by Monica Rich Kosann Jewelry is about storytelling. Think of the special pieces of jewelry you own and chances are there’s a personal story behind each and every one: the ring your grandmother left you; the pearls your husband gave you on your first anniversary; or the gold charm you bought to commemorate your trip to Paris. Jewelry designers and retailers have long known the significance and sentimentality of personalized lockets and charms, and pieces with monograms and birthstones. Today, more and more designers are pushing the boundaries of customization and personalization to help customers participate in the making of their own heirlooms. Let’s take a look. Monica Rich Kosann Monica Rich Kosann Charm Bracelets and Lockets Monica Rich Kosann is the undisputed queen of the modern-day locket. An accomplished portrait photographer, Kosann began her jewelry business by scouring antique shops and flea Cartier replica nail earrings markets for vintage lockets, cigarette cases and powder compacts – anything that could hold a photograph. As demand for these collectibles grew, she developed her own line of locket-based jewelry and home accessories. Kosann’s mission is to integrate her clients’ most cherished memories and possessions into their daily lives and to tell their personal stories in original customized ways. By doing so she creates “new heirlooms” her customers are proud to pass on to their daughters. London Loquet London Loquet. This successful brand was founded in 2013 on a simple premise: Instead of hiding the traditional photo inside a locket, London Loquet customers can choose from a wide selection of charms that float behind a clear crystal casing. In other words, they can customize their own lockets with a unique combination of meaningful charms. Designers Sheherazade Goldsmith and Laura Bailey told National Jeweler: “By allowing people to create they become emotionally connected with a piece, imbuing meaning and sentiment into something that is truly their own.” Fortune & Frame Fortune Cookie Pendant and Fortune Locket by Fortune & Frame New York replica Trinity de Cartier earrings designer Gretel Going launched an entire jewelry line around a fortune cookie fortune. Looking for a place to save a particular fortune she was fond of, she designed a way to wear it tucked inside a gold-tone locket. Today, Fortune & Frame allows customers to send in their fortunes to make their own personalized lockets. Demand has been so high that Going is going to the next level: engraveable fortune cookie pendants with, you guessed it, the customer’s own secret message.
