Must-have accessory: Earrings
Like shiny lures, these statement earrings will reel you in hook, line and sinker.
Ageless Style: 30s
You might recognize Shannon Heth from her frequent appearances in the party pages, but whether she’s attending events or managing her roster of restaurant, fashion and design clientele, the 31-year-old Vancouver-based publicist always looks stylish.
Five years ago, Heth’s closet consisted primarily of vintage pieces—“partly out of price-point necessity,” she admits, “but partly because I liked having something I knew I wouldn’t see anyone else wearing. Nowadays, I’m finding it harder to feel age-appropriate in an all-vintage look. Plus, you hope you’re in a position in your 30s where you can afford to mix in a little designer.”

ESPA at Acqualina
If there’s any place in the world you want to feel young, it’s Miami—land of imported Euro babes, models and bikinis. But for those of us who want to only kick gently as we head into the long, dark night of being over 25 (as opposed to tussling with a surgeon’s scalpel or syringe), there is ESPA at Acqualina Resort and Spa. The international luxury spa chain—this was the first location in North America—offers several anti-aging treatments that will rock a little East-meets-West spa pampering on your waning visage and bod, and allow you to face the beach bunnies with an extra spring in your Havaianas. Named one of Condé Nast Traveler’s top spas in 2008, the two-storey, 20,000-square-foot oasis is chic and relaxing, with glass-mosaic and dark wood walls, low lighting and the ever-present sound of trickling water—and it has a stunning view overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Before or after your treatment, relax in the outdoor pool on the terrace or in the heated jet pool with its own waterfall, indulge in the various wet rooms—Crystal Steam Room, Ice Fountains, Experience Shower (with both Arctic and Caribbean mists)—or visit the Finnish sauna. The targeted anti-aging facials feature products from ESPA’s new Super Active product range, but I go for the Contour and Firm Body Treatment ($380) because I feel my derrière has been looking a little elderly of late. And though the service—a specialized treatment meant to stimulate the circulation and lymphatic system, concentrating on naughty areas that are prone to cellulite and water retention—is apparently best done in a course of six, I’ll have to take the Coles Notes version and try just one. But what a one it is. The two-hour treatment involves a vigorous massage (or three—I sort of lose count), a rub-down with cold mitts, a thorough salt scrub, body brushing, a warm marine-algae wrap and a pressure-point foot massage to activate lymphatic drainage. Did I look instantly 22? Not sure, but I felt energized and fresh, and my bottom was smooth as butter. Take that, beach bunnies.

Tommy Hilfiger Makes The Cut
In his new reality television show, "The Cut," fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger describes the elements of his fame with an acronym:
F - FashionA - ArtM - MusicE - Entertainment
Hilfiger explains that the key to his sustained success in the fashion industry has been his uncanny ability to fuse the four aforementioned elements in a tidy package that has mass appeal. Hilfiger launched his first collection in 1984, and netted profits of $11 million by 1986. But, of course, if you have visited any major department store in the past fifteen years, this is not hard to imagine. Hilfiger's spirited but casually colorful update on the classic preppy look has catapulted him into a household name. He has made chambray shorts and cotton collared shirts chic again. His collections fill the racks and people buy.
Hilfiger is also famous for his ability to forge great relationships with huge musical acts - including Nelly, Puff Daddy, Destiny's Child, the Black Eyed Peas, and No Doubt - to name a few! He has been praised for his ability to appeal to consumers through the use of celebrity endorsement. This methodology certainly fits into his "F.A.M.E." approach of creating a lifestyle brand, which he explains to the sixteen eager contestants selected to be a part of "The Cut."
In hopes of being chosen as the next great American designer, contestants will be put through the ringer. Hilfiger explains that each of the tasks, ranging from testing business instinct, to social skills, to sales and marketing, to design and creativity, are a part of the skill set necessary to achieve success in the competitive industry of fashion.
So, if you are reading this you are probably not a contestant on the show. That is okay! We think that you can gain valuable advice from Hilfiger anyway. In choosing the various tasks for the contestants, Hilfiger provides a guide for all design hopefuls. Fashion design is not just about design - at least not if you want to rule the fashion world! As you develop your design skills, it is also important to work on your ability to socialize, sell yourself and understand the numbers behind it all. Whether you seek "F.A.M.E" or a lucrative career in fashion, Hilfiger is a worthy model for success.

LIGHTS, ACTION, RUNWAY
Producing a Fashion Show
By Jennifer Petrini
Producing a fashion show is like directing a movie - coordinating all visual and technical aspects to create one final (but fabulous) production. Although fashion shows can be produced on any budget and for any type of audience, a game plan is necessary to execute perfection.
With over 20 fashion shows under my belt, I could probably write an entire book (and may still do). However, the following guidelines will certainly put you on the right track to illuminate your very own runway!
THEME of SHOW
Every fashion show must have an overall concept. Is it a Back to School Fashion Show for a mall, a showcase for a local designer, or a charity fundraiser? The client possibilities are endless. Creativity is the key to dress up the show any way you see fit. I have produced many themed events for holidays, stylist collaborations, color/shoes/jewelry/lingerie inspired concepts, and designer or retail-driven shows. Once you have a theme for your runway, the details are much easier to solidify.
MODELS
Agency models know how to strut the catwalk, but can be very expensive. If you don't have the budget to pay industry rates, base your model search on your client's needs. Are you promoting a children's line and need models under the age of 12? Is this a charity fundraiser with all ticket-holders over the age of 60? Hold a model call and place ads on free bulletins requesting potential models to show up in person to fill out fitting sheets and take Polaroids to remember their look. This is a great way to build your own model base for future shows.
FASHIONS for the RUNWAY
As the producer, you may or may not have to select the clothes for the runway. Based on your show concept, the stylists, designers, or stores might choose the merchandise. In any case, make sure you are familiar with all the garments in the show. Each garment should be returned in the same condition it originated. Take photos at the model fitting and have a list of all items on each model. When they return their outfit to you after the show, check for all pieces. This way you know who is accountable for what.
PRODUCTION
To get any show ready for the runway, you will need to solidify a venue to host the event, a runway or stage, lighting, music and of course, hair & makeup. Nightclubs, hotels, schools, and malls are popular fashion show venues. However creative spaces can be turned into runways. You may have a DJ to mix the music, a salon sponsoring the hair/makeup, and a multimedia screen on the runway with store logos. Whatever your technical details, make sure everything is tested and ready to go before the show.
SCRIPT
Write out the entire show in a script format. Whether you have an emcee speaking commentary on each outfit or music timed out for each individual scene, the model and fashion order is extremely important to have written down. This will make it much easier to call your show and follow along with the program.
VIP SPONSORS
On occasion, you may work with sponsors paying for the event who want additional publicity onsite. Hang their banners, giveaway promotional gift bags, and/or host a VIP reception for the sponsor's guests. If the sponsor is a restaurant or alcohol/beverage company, feature their product exclusively.
With thorough planning and creativity, a fashion show can be a huge success. And so much better than a boring movie!

Dressing For Success: What to Wear to the Office
NO you don’t have to wear the ordinary (or rather, boring) navy blue suit to every job interview advertising for a “Professional” candidate in the classifieds. Times have changed and so has office fashion. You can still show off your style while looking clean, polished and presentable in the workforce. Maintaining a personality with your clothes just may land you that dream job! The key to styling your career wardrobe is all in moderation. Keep these tips in mind while picking out your 9-5 attire…you work hard for a living, time to dress for even BIGGER success
DO a black two-piece. Dump the navy suit.A black pencil skirt looks great paired with a trendy blouse with or without a short jacket. It’s best to pick out individual pieces that can work together or separate. Black easily morphs from day to night so you can hit happy hour in style.
DO wear color. The office doesn’t have to be sterile without any color. Pair a brightly colored blouse with your outfit or sport a silk scarf. Even red heels can make your suit pop and be the conversation piece at the water fountain.
DO the DressThe fall trapeze and menswear-inspired dresses are tailored to look perfect in the office.
DO TGIFThank god its flats…flat shoes, that is. 3 inch heels are not necessary in the office all day. If you keep a basic ballet flat at your desk, you can slip into them throughout the day while maintaining your professional appearance.
DON’T fall victim to Office Fashion Faux Pas.I can’t stress enough – DON’T ever be caught in pantyhose and sneakers. NEVER wear jeans, t-shirts, or sloppy clothing. DON’T wear bangles or distractible jewelry and NEVER risk your job with an overly sexy outfit – that may lead you to the unemployment line…

10 Fashion Faux Pas
Fashion is an expression of who you are…but nobody wants be a “DON’T”. Follow these faux pas to stay on the “DO” list!1. DON’T wear nude pantyhose with open-toe shoes. Get a manicure and rock your shoes the way they were intended.2. DON’T assume society wants to see your midriff. Unless you are at a resort or in the gym, midriff shirts are a DON”T, regardless of how smokin’ your body may be.3. DON’T recreate Miami Vice fellas. We DON”T want to see your chest hair exposed in an overly unbuttoned shirt. 4. DON”T sport your children’s clothing. The Disney store is for kids. Let’s keep it that way. 5. DON’T rock a matching denim ensemble. Just because your jacket and jeans match doesn’t mean you should wear them together. 6. DON”T ever think pleated pants will make a comeback because they won’t. If your mom still wears them, burn ‘em for her. 7. DON’T ever wear a scrunchy in your hair. Like Carrie told Berger in Sex and the City, “No New York girl in her right mind would be caught dead wearing a scrunchy.” That goes for all of you!8. DON’T walk downtown in sneakers and a powersuit. While I realize women on the go have to be comfortable, it just looks ridiculous.9. DON’T try to hide behind the baggy look - it adds 10 pounds to your frame. You can achieve comfort with clothes that actually fit.10. DON’T fabric clash and mix leopard with zebra or brocade with corduroy. The textures of your clothes shouldn’t look like you just walked out of a fabric store and stapled your outfit together.
Pattern Makers Given Kudos
Think that pattern making sounds boring? Think again! In today's world of complex designs and high fashion, pattern making has become vital to a designer's success.
Pattern makers are responsible for translating a fashion designer's vision from paper to fabric. Often working with a mere drawing, the pattern maker transforms the image into the actual design. Oftentimes, designers sketch only the front of a design, leaving the rest of the design to the pattern maker. Many designers do not even know how to sew, and sometimes the sketches cannot actually be made. For instance, a particular type of fabric that the designer envisions may not be able to be cut or sewn to the designer's original image.
The pattern maker often works in conjunction with the designer to create the actual designs. From suits to dresses, the two must work together to ensure that the original vision is created in fabric. Often the original design is modified as the two work in conjunction to make the design a reality.
Most design schools offer courses in pattern making, but the number of people who specialize in the trade is dwindling.As designs become increasingly more complex, the role of a pattern maker becomes more important. And, with increased importance for pattern making, and a reduction in the number of specialists, an upward trend in wages and salary for the role should be expected.
If you are interested in fashion design and like to sew, pattern making might be the right choice for you. Success requires good knowledge of the human form, knowledge of numerous fabrics, and a strong ability to sew. It also requires a great deal of creativity and insight. Next to the actual designer, it is one of the most important and influential in a fashion house.
