Actress_from_JonasDay 2: What’s hot and beyond
Although there are trends to consider, when doing style appointments one needs to take into account the person who is going to wear the item. Not all the “hot” trends are “hot” on everyone, and not everyone wants what’s “hot”! I started my day talking about classic black and white looks with Bob Balaban. Later in the morning Steve Carell’s stylist came by looking for items that were elegant and conservative. This afternoon Niecy Nash is looking for pieces that are light and sparkly with pink shades, and Anya Saare from Entertainment Tonight / Insider wants an important piece with plenty of color.

In order to accommodate all the varying looks that celebrity clients and stylists are trying to achieve, it’s important to look beyond trends and concentrate on style. And when you have to play both trend forecaster and editor, you must make sure to not only have all the items that are new, hot and trending, but also ensure you have enough classic pieces to give you variety. Fortunately, I’ve met some really great designers who have furnished me with everything I need to accommodate almost every need.

Syna

Color has been huge on the runways this year. Therefore I know that I’m going to need pieces that will give me various color ways in gemstones. I’ve chosen four companies to highlight this trend toward color. Syna is a company doing amazingly bold and beautiful looks with gemstone beads as multi-strands and large tassels. The look is colorful and highly fashionable. Farah Khan is a designer who I met through a friend. Her styles have real red carpet glamour to them with rich colored gemstones and diamonds.

Vachi has created pieces that are colorful and youthful with a boho-chic appeal that has great movement and sparkle using rose cut red and black spinels and diamonds, as well as other opaque gems. The AGTA Collection, who works with world class designers creating one-of-a-kind pieces in beautiful colored gemstone, has pulled together a collection from its designer members that runs from conservative and classic to modern and edgy. The celebrities are really loving the unique pieces that they’re seeing.

When it comes to classic red carpet style, nothing says elegance like the simplicity of diamonds. I’ve brought Jeffrey Daniels designs for Gem Platinum for his Hollywood Glamour looks, as well as pieces from the Everlon Diamond Knot Collection with their modern take on the diamond classics. And since I’m dealing with many male celebrities I’ve turned to Cliq by Superfit for one of the most inventive new ideas for tuxedos being worn with longer ties; the tie accent fits perfectly at the bottom of the knot of the tie, omitting the need for shirt studs and giving the wearer a signature elegance that they won’t find anywhere else.

So you see, creating looks for a variety of celebrities and stylists require more thought than just what’s hot.
