Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Interviews, Hair Cut and Style

celebrity stylist sally hershbergerSally Hershberger is a titan in the world of hair.

She works with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, like Julia Roberts, Cindy Crawford and dreamy Zac Efron. Chair time with Sally starts at $800, and with good reason -- one of her best known coif creations is the shag she gave Meg Ryan for the 1995 film French Kiss, which inspired women everywhere to emulate Meg's cool, piece-y, "messy on purpose" look.

StyleList talked to Sally about spring hair trends, getting the most out of your cut (read: saving $$ by making it last a litte longer), and her new line of products for layered hair, aptly named "Shagg."

Britney is back.

We keep saying that. It feels like, over the past couple of years, we've said that with a lot of different looks on our faces. Britney acknowledges that she's had some tough moments. "I'm a smart person ... what the hell was I thinking?" she says.

She may have to prove that "smart person" thing. Well, she said it in her upcoming interview and documentary on MTV: Britney Spears 'Sets the Record Straight.' Let's see if she does!

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Clothing, Jeans, Celebrities with Style



In between the hubub of Fashion Week parties and runway shows were celebrity meet and greets -- events where designers or celebrities with clothing lines mixed with press and fans. My favorite was the one by Heidi Klum held at Bloomingdales in New York City's Upper West Side. She was super nice to all the reporters, switching effortlessly from English to German depending on the nationality of whoever she was speaking with.

Kwame Jackson from the first season of the hit reality show, The Apprentice, always impressed me. Call me shallow if you must, but it wasn't his intelligence, leadership, or charm that did it for me -- but his wardrobe. Jackson was always sharply dressed and well groomed. Now he's capitalizing on his business chic with his latest venture: Krimson by Kwame, a line of high end ties f or men.

Indie Designer Interview: Eric Niccoli of Orthodox

Posted Jun 19th 2008 at 10:01AM by Michael Cohen

Filed under: Style in the News, Men, Interviews


For our ongoing feature, Indy Designer Interviews, Eric Niccoli,
Creative Director/ Designer, Orthodox Clothing, talks about the subculture of being an indy brand and the importance of wire transfers.

Typically we see "orthodox" with a religious connection. Can you explain how you employ it? In its purest definition, orthodox means an, "adherence to an approved form of doctrine, philosophy, or ideology." Here, at Orthodox, we are creating a lifestyle brand with its own personality and identity. This doesn't imply a perpetual monotony. Fashion evolves and so will Orthodox, but it will do so while retaining our own, peculiar DNA.

There's like 5 billion men's wear lines out there, why should I buy yours? Because we are the bestest in the whole wide world... kidding. We have created a look and feel that is unique in the marketplace. People want to feel unique. In a world of faceless multiplicity, people want to feel like they have identity. Clothing is one of the easiest ways of expressing one's personality and identity. So here at Orthodox we offer the medium of clothing as a means of self expression. We provide forwardly fashionable garments with an intellectually masculine aesthetic. And what man out there doesn't want to be a fashion forward, intellectual man?

Indie Designer Interviews: Solsida Handcrafted Silver Jewelry

Posted Mar 14th 2008 at 11:36AM by Mallory Whitfield

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Interviews

SolsidaI'm a big fan of all of the amazing independent designers out there. In an effort to get inside the mind of the indie designer and find out just what makes all of these creative types tick, I present to you an ongoing segment I call Indie Designer Interviews.

Today's interview is with Catherine Beringer, a jewelry designer and metalsmith who creates modern, organic jewelry using eco-friendly, recycled silver. You can find her work at her website, Solsida, which means sunny side in Swedish.

Tell me a little about your work. I make silver jewelry inspired by lazy summer days spent outside with the sun beaming down on your face. (It's a long winter here in Minnesota!). I totally crave sunshine and my jewelry reflects that. I enjoy using my jewelry saw to cut out silhouettes of birds and butterflies and other things from nature. I also love organic shapes, imperfect circles and rounded edges. I use argentium silver, a newer sterling silver alloy, that has some unique properties for metalsmithing, including the ability to use safer and fewer chemicals. It is also much slower to tarnish than traditional sterling and requires less polishing. Many of my necklaces hang from several strands of linen cord. I really like that linen is a sustainable plant fiber, and that it's lightweight, stronger than leather or cotton and comes in beautiful, subtle colors.

Indie Designer Interviews: The Pear Project

Posted Mar 12th 2008 at 7:55AM by Mallory Whitfield

Filed under: Haute Home, Stores We Love, Style in the News, Interviews

I'm a big fan of all of the amazing independent designers out there. In an effort to get inside the mind of the indie designer and find out just what makes all of these creative types tick, I present to you an ongoing segment I call Indie Designer Interviews.

The Pear ProjectToday's interview is with Brooke Fuller who runs an online boutique stocked full of great original handmade goods from other independent designers.

Tell me a little about yourself and your shop. I am a busy woman! I run a shop at The Pear Project that focuses on artisan goods in everyday life along with a blog at thepearproject.blogspot.com under the same theme. At The Pear Project I carry handpicked goods from a variety of artists focusing on modern handmade items that can enhance everyday life. I have a love of sales, advertising and marketing that fits in well with running this shop.

I also am a trained photographer. I have a commercial portfolio, but most of my practical experience has been with portraits. I love Polaroids and spend a lot of time thinking of how I can transform my photography into more than prints on the wall. I have a popular series of sx-70 manipulations I did when that type of film was available along with a series of resin necklaces. I have also used my photography for inspiration in other mediums as well.

Felting is another passion of mine. I am currently working on a series of 4x4 wall pieces with theme of simplicity inspired by nature & a line of brightly colored felted bracelets that will include the actual bracelets along with a kit for those who would rather do it themselves. I enjoy dry needle felting and use it as a sculpting medium. The texture draws me in and I am always amazed at the finished product.

I also work with enamel, resin, paper & a few other mediums. Variety is the spice of life, and I don't think I will ever be able to specialize in just 1 thing!

Indie Designer Interviews: Oh So Retro

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Style in the News, Interviews

Oh So RetroI'm a big fan of all of the amazing independent designers out there. In an effort to get inside the mind of the indie designer and find out just what makes all of these creative types tick, I present to you an ongoing segment I call Indie Designer Interviews. Today's interview is with the designer behind Oh So Retro, a line of fun handmade handbags, wallets and accessories.

Tell me a little about your work. I'm Adrienne, a seamstress turned designer hailing from Winnipeg, Canada. As my chosen business name implies, I am a fan of all things vintage and retro from furniture to dishes to textiles and books. I collect a little bit of everything and am always on the look out for vintage stock to incorporate into my designs. I do all of my sewing on a vintage Singer sewing machine from the 1950s which can prove challenging at times but things were made to keep back then. I try to incorporate that mentality in my own designs, to create something that is visually pleasing yet still functional enough to use everyday.

Tell me a little about your company. My name is Genie, the owner of DistinQue Co. I constantly look for up-to-date designs and study them, but most importantly, I create my own design from them. I like to use all materials: silver, gold, pearl, copper, brass, leather, silk, etc. As you can see from the name of the company, my motto is "Distinctive + uniQue". It's been only 8 months since the grand opening, but DistinQue is receiving lots of buzz.

Indie Designer Interviews: Valerie Tyler Designs

Posted Mar 3rd 2008 at 8:28AM by Mallory Whitfield

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Interviews

The following is part of an ongoing segment I call Indie Designer Interviews. Today's interview is with jewelry designer Valerie Tyler, of aptly named Valerie Tyler Designs. Her jewelry collections include modern twists on simple geometric designs as well as intricate wire-wrapped scrolls. Valerie loves combining the feminine with more industrial elements, and aims for her work to have a sleek, urban look.

How did you get started as a designer? My entry into jewelry design was due to a variety of factors. I took a jewelry design class in college for a fun elective and absolutely loved it. Turns out I was pretty good at sawing metal! I also then accompanied my mom to several of her craft shows where she sold her photography and would put out some of my jewelry to make a few extra bucks. When I discovered people loved what I had displayed I realized I could really do something with my skills.

What inspires your work? I've studied all sorts of jewelry designers to encourage myself to be creative about shape and form. I'm also an avid reader. I've used things such as old iron-work design books, or weaving patterns, as well as architectural details on buildings to get ideas. In addition, I take inspiration from geometry and nature. I love simple shapes, and I'm obsessed with scrolls. I love to combine such designs in new ways.

Who are your favorite designers? As far as indie designers, I love the work of Iza Malczyk. She really pushes the boundaries of wire wrapping. Her ideas are so creative, I always love to see what she comes up with next. Not to mention, I love it when I absolutely cannot figure out how a jeweler made something. Locally, I also love the ladies of Cleveland Handmade, a group of designers I belong to. It's always wonderful to share ideas, jokes and stories with them. They keep me motivated and inspired.
