Fabulosity: Meet Famed Fashion Illustrator Jessica Repetto
Through a transformative spy-glass, Fashion Illustrator Jessica Repetto lets us into her creative mind with sketches of the most beautiful fashion in the world. The visions on paper done by Jessica tread the line of alien-like with exaggerated silhouettes, abstract perspectives and an overall dream-like state. Even with this unique take on illustration, Jessica never fails to capture the beauty, elegance and bliss. I fancy most of her live-sketches done...
Closet Case: Katie Brashear Talks Personal Style
Sleek design, quirky decorations and an overall modern structure; the W Scottsdale on Camelback lodges a stylish, contemporary-minded crowd. The hotel's marketing manager, Katie Brashear, dresses as dapper as the chic W Scottsdale itself. The always smiling Katie is often seen sporting a look from Diane von Furstenberg and a shoe from Lanvin or Yves Saint Laurent. To summarize Brashear’s look, “big city avant-garde” comes to mind, but no matter how sleek or modern Katie dresses, she stays on a strict course of femininity. Katie cements her role as a fabulous dresser as she declared to me “Right now, I’m embracing navy, cognac, gold and ivory. As I segue into summer, my color scheme will change to white and metallic.”
Closet Case: Su Yip Talks Personal Style
Su Yip is a fearless fashionista. The relentlessly chic Su keeps a closet full of Pamela Love, Rick Owens and a plethora of vintage- all components of her unorthodox sense of style. Too often the “free spirit” and deliberate “oddball” types of dressers are detergent of taste and absent of polish that is necessary to pull off the look. Su refrains from this, keeping an underling and sometimes disguised form of elegance throughout her peculiar look.
Closet Case: Style Interview with Lesley Oliver
The quirkiness and ultra-eclectic vibe of SMoCA does not stop within its galleries. Its perfectly poised marketing and PR manager, Lesley Oliver, has a style that mirrors the museum. Lesley, can often be found parading around in some vintage ensemble- sweetheart-necklines, black lace and capes (in the winter) are some of her wardrobe staples. Lesley Oliver is a local cultural maverick and there are few who are as passionate about the arts and general well being of Arizona than her. Softly spoken and boldly dressed, Lesley finds delight in the vintage gems of Robert Black and stands behind a quote from Emily Post: “The woman who is chic is always a little different. Not different in being behind fashion, but always slightly...
Fabulosity: Interview with Joe Zee from Sundance Channel's "All On The Line"
In the illustrious world of fashion design, It’s easy to forget the amount of work that goes into one collection, season and label. Reality TV buffs love nothing more than to see the struggles in fashion through glossy, unrealistic channels of bitchy-behavior and senseless editing. Alas, a new series, All On The Line, a non-fiction show on the Sundance Channel that will feature struggling designers fighting to save their dream by business guidance, criticism from legends like Linda Fargo, Norma Kamali and Georgina Chapman, all in the attempts in recreating themselves as designers.
The designers will be taking direction from Joe Zee, fashion-maverick and creative director of Elle...
